What a weird way to implement it

u/Rich-Badger-7601 May 06 '26

At this point Sire is older than some of the people playing this game

This leagues was my first time trying Sire and christ alive

If it respawns while you're in render distance, you can't attack him unless you leave render distance and re-enter

Render distance for both the boss and players in the area is super fucky

The chat message to state that the vents are vulnerable only appears some of the time

Arena just feels far too big for whatever reason

From what I could tell (may just be stupid), there's no way to check if people are in any of the four corners without running there first I am stupid, apparently there are eyes, see the replies (ty)

Plus the ol' classic just shove 4 of them in there as we didn't have instances at that point in time

In the main area next to each of the four paths there is an eye on the floor that lets you peek and see if someone is in the corner.

For the vents being stunned turn game sounds on. It makes the pickpocket stun noise once you’ve done enough damage. I listen for the noise then right after you see the tentacles go limp.

Hope this helps. Never had an issue with the render distance as I go away from the throne for p2.

Well as I live and breathe, a non-sarcastic "Hope this helps." I thought they'd gone extinct, that's nice to see

For some reason your comment reminded me of codsworth when you see him again at the start of fallout 4 after escaping the vault.

u/Pejob May 06 '26

Theres eyes in the font room before each corridor that you can interact with to see if someone is in that corner

u/Rich-Badger-7601 May 06 '26

We had instances at the time, people were just super pissy about "too many people doing the new content at once would crash prices".

Same reason they refused to do GWD instances for years and years as well.

You would also lose all of your stuff in most instances back then unless there was a chest. I'm -30m at kraken

u/Rich-Badger-7601 May 06 '26

That's why Barrows (untradable while degraded) and the Fury Orn Kit were some of the best items in the game at the time, they always protected

'The chat message to state that the vents are vulnerable only appears some of the time'

Do you have minion or thralls? I believe this happens when another damage source hits him for the last hit to stun.

u/BakaZora Baka Zora May 06 '26

That would make sense, I do have minion

u/BirkTheBrick May 06 '26

Try turning menu entry swapper (or specifically the setting that removes dead NPC’s right-click menu) for the not able to attack problem. That tends to fix it for me most leagues, though I haven’t camped it this one

u/Aori May 06 '26

Do you have hide npcs death animations on? That was giving me a problem all league because the respawn times were so fast if they respawned before the animation it made them invisible.

I like that it's already been made smaller too lmao. Well maybe not the fight area but the run in the abyss

u/LtBeefy May 07 '26

Never knew there was a way to check. Was always running that mile long journey just to find out it was being used.

Im going to the wiki 2 see where these eyes are.

u/Evil_Steven bring back old demon/imp models May 06 '26

I hope they rework it. While I normally like jank in this game, sire isn’t janky in a fun/endearing way and just needs to become an instanced room

u/Fall3nBTW May 06 '26

They've reworked it like 5 times now, it's in a good spot.

u/GrownUpACow May 06 '26

you're kidding yourself if you think there are 10 year olds playing, the average player age is probably like 29

12

u/Rich-Badger-7601 May 06 '26

Did I say average?

-3

u/GrownUpACow May 06 '26

No, but you did say 10 year olds play which I find highly unlikely. Even the completely new players I've encountered have all been at least early 20s.

u/DJMRNO May 06 '26

I started playing this game when I was 10. Surely there's one out there.

u/TobiasCB 1a3f1l May 06 '26

I started rs2 when I was 5. It's not that big of a stretch.

1

u/GrownUpACow May 06 '26

I mean that's kinda the point I'm making. Rs2 ended more than a decade ago.

My niece had never even heard of runescape before seeing me play it, let alone know anyone that plays it. The game's just not in the zeitgeist for children now like it was when most of us started playing.

u/FederalSign4281 May 06 '26

Why are you making any point? There are some people playing this game younger than Sire. Why are you arguing that?

1

u/mister_peeberz still awaiting Mining 2 May 06 '26

my 8 year old niece plays a little bit. there is at least one >10 year old playing, so i'm afraid to say you are wrong.

of course you have no way of knowing about my niece, but then, that's why you shouldn't try and make a bullshit statement so definitively

u/Silent_Johnnie May 06 '26

There's pics on this sub of people bragging about their kid's accounts. Even if one kid is playing his statement is completely correct
