I think he just got into a Catch 22 where he takes a legal L either way. Either he pays up for illegally using Tupac's likeness, or people can go crazy using his likeness.
At max eff it was over 200k/hr and 40 rumors/hr. That blows the next best hunter training out of the water and is way more rewarding, don’t get me wrong tracking needs to be improved and sped up along with deadfall, but it was 100% an oversight and unintended way to do hunter lol. If I recall someone even showed how it was possible to get up to over 300k xp/hr yesterday using the bug.
You said yourself later that sweaty chins were 240k/hr. It seems very fair for Hunter contracts to be 200k for lower intensity, but still moderate intensity overall.
If the kebbity tuft wasn't meant to be used like this, why was the name and examine text so generic, while all the other drops are specific to the creature hunted?
I've legit survived a couple pkers by just talking to them. I've offered my loot in return for just finishing what I was doing, and they said it was nbd and just hopped worlds.
This graph really highlights just how bad nightmare is. If you look at the other content that's comparable to this, it's shit like raids or corp or Nex. If they're not going to improve the rates further, they need to buff the uniques to endgame levels of strength and utility.
I actually cannot legitimately tell. The fact that they've got mainly 40-60 in other stats makes me think this is a legit player -- and the poster child for why it's so hard for Jagex to ban bots
Unironically this though. This legitimately could be someone who just likes doing Barrows day in and day out. And that's the problem with people wanting accounts like this to be autobanned. I'd love to have a solid autobanning system in place, but looking at the highscores doesn't do shit. You could flag this account to be looked at, but if it is a bot, and the bot is set up to have human like reactions, clicking, and timing (which not all, but a lot do have), it gets a pass. One of the biggest hurdles in eliminating the bots is the number of players who play so religiously they could come across as being a bot.
Well said. There's very few cases where they can say "no legitimate player would do this, it's 100% a bot". I think they've even said before that the ones on the high scores which look like obvious bots are actually real players who sell for RWT.
This could be a decent way to do it actually. If it requires an ingredient from the minigame shop you wouldn't be able to make a ton of them, so you'd only use it in limited places. That would help limit any powercreep.
Why drink one Potion when you could create a cocktail of flavours and effects for any occasion? This special device lets you insert doses from up to five different Potions and drink them all at once. Sounds a bit like our uni days...
They'd have to flag like 10-20% of the playerbase. Don't forget we periodically see posts of people doing 10k+ boss kills because they're trying to get a pet or have terrible RNG at CG.
Honestly the more posts and discussion I see about magic distrubution the more I personally would prefer them to leave it alone for the time being. Focus on other things but magic damage clearly needs a lot more time in the oven.
I think a lot of people didn't realize that nerfing occult would mean having more switches. Distributing the boost away from occult inherently means you'll need more items.
Same. I’m 103 cb and I keep getting crapped on by PKers if I stay there for more than 10 minutes at a time. the lvl 70-80 bots are thriving meanwhile lol.
I think they intended for zerkers and pures to take care of that combat bracket, but there probably aren't enough of those builds at the moment, and people are pking with what they currently have instead of making new alts
I once saw an article that argued being overweight has health benefits and one of the "benefits" was that you are less vulnerable to stab wounds. Can't stab a kidney if its got too much fat in front of it!
People are only hating / downvoting these kind of comments because of irrational thought. They want more for less. They want to have their cake and eat it too. They don't want the weapon that modifies gear to need all gear to be at full power.
Just let eternals be bad cerb is already a profitable boss without them being good. We can upgrade range/mage boots in the future right now this helps no one but merchers lol.
Remove arcane from fortified ward then since Corp is already good money without it. Then crank up fortified damage percent to make pre Shadow magic a lot better.
My position is that the eternal buff should stay, and they should buff ancestral further so that current setups are unaffected. As a result, they nerf shadow slightly so it doesn't get a significant damage boost by doing so.
Putting pressure on the number of switches creates design space for hybrid pieces, too. I think 2% is a bit high, but generally I’d like it to feel worthwhile to bring mage gear when you are doing magic damage, and eternals with 0% don’t really do much.
This is actually a very good point. This makes a new reward space now for hybrid magic gear. Boots with good strength bonus and magic damage bonus would reduce the number of switches now
It's a simple fix, scrap eternal boots % and add it into ancestral which is a rare end game item, problem solved, I would like to see the Runescape accounts of the people who suggested eternal boots %, probably never will wield a shadow ever
the solution honestly though is content like this existing, pures and other low level builds have been struggling for a while because all the good content is deeper wildy and they get bullied by higher level accounts
Would a nerf to shadow be so bad? Given it’s insane dominance in the mage category to where the only actually useful mage spec weapons are utility specs?
It's more of the fact that in order to achieve the same DPS as before, people will now be forced to use more prayer points + bring an extra item. It is quite a significant and punishing change.
This is how it should be. They need to deal with Shadow so that it doesn't get buffed as a result. This is highlighting exactly why Shadow is so problematic.

Yeah I sort of expected the next big update to include Ward (f) to 10% and the adjusting everything below accordingly
Honestly it could probably go a fair bit higher. I'm not sure how we'll ever get upgrades to the slot since arcane is required.
Lol I was throwing around 15% day 1 of the first blog and ate some downvotes so I cooled off
Ha fair enough.
I'd hold off on making any immediate changes. The reception has been so negative that I could see Jagex mostly walking it back.
Thrall reskins would actually be amazing. It seems like a cool reward space to explore, and also a natural way to show off pets.
Ah shit, that's the cat out of the bag. There's no chance they don't modify kebbit skipping in some way with this method now existing.
Sooooo I got some bad news.

Yeah RIP right now to the razor backed kebbit block I once had
What exactly did you say to them?
Basically just trying to negotiate, offering them my loot or asking if they'll wait for me to finish what I'm doing first and then they'll kill me
Us pkers are honestly just trying to cull the bots. Honest pvmers get my mercy
I've legit survived a couple pkers by just talking to them. I've offered my loot in return for just finishing what I was doing, and they said it was nbd and just hopped worlds.

Torva gives 5 max hits.
Sounds like occult isn't the issue then, Ancestral just needs a buff.

I'd rather die. Overcooked is either the most fun or most infuriating game one will ever play. There's no in-between.
I think one of my old coworkers once described it as the most tense point in marriage/relationship
I like it. When are we going to introduce overloads?

Jungle juice moment
Dammit Brett, if I had that username I'd report for account sharing;
I mean if you can file taxes jointly if you're married, then you can probably pay an RS account jointly when you're married too right?
how come these guys dont get insta flagged by the system?

time to deploy the lms predator bots at zombie pirates
Why would they kill their own team?

Oh hell yeah it works irl!

Pretty much. It's a new reward space for them to explore that has way more possibilities than just raising stats.
bro really hit me with the "i know you are but what am i?" like it was a killshot lmaooo
"lol u mad"
lil bro, you dead ass got cooked. skull emoji omegalul, lay mayo on a BLT
Don't forget the L + ratio + no maidens
Why is that an issue
Because that's a significant damage buff?
4% would eliminate the need for a boot switch to regain the same damage that we currently have.
Just let eternals be bad cerb is already a profitable boss without them being good. We can upgrade range/mage boots in the future right now this helps no one but merchers lol.
Remove arcane from fortified ward then since Corp is already good money without it. Then crank up fortified damage percent to make pre Shadow magic a lot better.
Should it give new range strength or should Masori/Crystal/Void be nerfed to give pegs range str ?
My position is that the eternal buff should stay, and they should buff ancestral further so that current setups are unaffected. As a result, they nerf shadow slightly so it doesn't get a significant damage boost by doing so.
Putting pressure on the number of switches creates design space for hybrid pieces, too. I think 2% is a bit high, but generally I’d like it to feel worthwhile to bring mage gear when you are doing magic damage, and eternals with 0% don’t really do much.
This is actually a very good point. This makes a new reward space now for hybrid magic gear. Boots with good strength bonus and magic damage bonus would reduce the number of switches now
Damned if do, damned if don’t
Which is why I'm saying they should buff ancestral back to 4% and slightly nerf shadow so it doesn't get a +9% damage boost
It's a simple fix, scrap eternal boots % and add it into ancestral which is a rare end game item, problem solved, I would like to see the Runescape accounts of the people who suggested eternal boots %, probably never will wield a shadow ever
Apparently the true wisdom you get once your account is endgame is that one of the equipment slots should actually just be fucking useless lmao
the solution honestly though is content like this existing, pures and other low level builds have been struggling for a while because all the good content is deeper wildy and they get bullied by higher level accounts
Yeah it might self correct. That's a good point.
But surely there ought to be reason for low level builds to PK these for bank
Maybe it'll be a self correcting problem and we'll see more zerks show up
Would a nerf to shadow be so bad? Given it’s insane dominance in the mage category to where the only actually useful mage spec weapons are utility specs?
Oh I'm completely in agreement. They should nerf Shadow to make room for 4% on ancestral
It's more of the fact that in order to achieve the same DPS as before, people will now be forced to use more prayer points + bring an extra item. It is quite a significant and punishing change.
The easy answer would be to buff ancestral back to 4% -- but they can't do that because it would be a significant buff to Shadow.
No one serious is saying to revert the boots buff, they’re saying to keep ancestral at 4% and the boot buff.
This is how it should be. They need to deal with Shadow so that it doesn't get buffed as a result. This is highlighting exactly why Shadow is so problematic.
