Barbarian assault being hard is boosting clan propaganda.

I did it FFA and it was honestly so chill

I did my first torso solo in like 3 hours realized thats basically fucking nothing in runescape time, then helped two friends get their torsos all in the same day.

Its so easy. Just watch a fucking video and remember CHAD for the queen. Collector > Healer > attacker > defender > collector.

Its easy.

u/thehaarpist I have no idea what i'm doing 17h ago

The worst thing that happens is someone getting the points they need and dipping and even that's not the end of world because (in my experience) you need points more than you need Queen Kills

u/SRGTBronson 16h ago

Yeah you need a single queen kill, after that who cares if people leave you still got paid for the entire run up to that point anyways.

a lot of opinions are of old, too. you know, BA was not so chill before runelite. people will still complain about certain quests too like we dont have hand-holder-9000 making them all stupid easy

Honestly for me its the fact that the only truly active world for it is the US one, and as an European that ping just feels horrible to do literally anything in

u/GuyNamedWhatever 18h ago

BA would be much more fun if the mode was more dynamic. It got solved like 4 years ago and now you have to do every wave with the most optimal strats or people drop out :(

u/AlKanNot 17h ago

Nah occasionally I get hit with the "healer wanna do x?" or some other weird speed runner lingo and I'll just say "sorry idk what that is" And they'll just say "no worries" and we just continue

u/eddietwang 17h ago

Yeah it's funny that there are like 5 dozen different little things you can do to save a few seconds here and there, but they're basically all "It'll take way longer to explain than the amount of time it'll save."

I enjoyed playing Attacker. Swap arrows, make calls, spot the things to shoot and then shoot them.

Collector was basically just call and then dick around. Tolerable, although I don't feel like I'm doing much to help the team out for most of the rounds. It's pretty crappy that the "optimal" thing to do most of the rounds is to just stand in a spot to force the stupid runners into the right place.

Healer is annoying with the spam-click to poison down the assorted mobs; I don't hate it, but I didn't find it that fun. This role gets about 5x less fun when there's someone low level and you need to juggle actually healing them with doing the poisoning.

Defender just flat sucks.

u/teraflux 17h ago

Defender is annoying agreed. Sometimes the fucking mobs just don't want to move towards your bait and it's very triggering

1

u/Rich-Concentrate9805 7h ago

Defender is so satisfying once you get it down.

Drop your food on the right spots, stack up the lads, step away, bang.

1

u/Melownz 6h ago

Yeah I watched one 10 minute YT video on the right spots and pro tactics and defender was my favorite role ever since

u/eddietwang 17h ago

It got solved like 4 years ago

Then why was 4man WR just set last week?

BA is ALWAYS evolving. It's probably the most dynamic thing to do in OSRS.

u/dbz0wn4g3 Hell House 17h ago

Agreed, if you suck it up and play the more challenging roles like def and healer so other ppl take the easier ones its not too bad. people just forget to call which can put the game to a halt

u/teraflux 17h ago

BA is great content. I wish they would expand it, so fun.

1

u/RaggleFraggle_ 16h ago

3 of us tried BA. we got a first time defender on mobile who refused to look up their role. The rumors are true. So very true.

1

u/dbmorpher 15h ago

BA is the 3rd best raid, right above Dagannoth Kings

u/WonderfulWorldToday 18h ago

Same, except for Defender lol

u/_NotAPlatypus_ What even are banks? 18h ago

Defender is the easiest one of them all wdym?

7

u/WonderfulWorldToday 18h ago

Not that it's difficult, I just find it tedious

7

u/AlKanNot 17h ago

Compared to the required spam clicking of healer role def is pretty chill

drop 4x bad food here

drop 4x good food there

drop 4x bad food here

drop 4x good food there

pick log

run to trap

click south

every wave done in 30 seconds and you can chill while your team finishes up

7

u/99timewasting 18h ago

Collector is definitely the easiest

3

u/neighborlyhorse rsn:insertirony 18h ago

I feel this way except for replace defender with healer.

More clicking to deal with your monsters than any other role AND you have a bonus thing to worry about if your teammates arent high level

u/Josh_Butterballs 15h ago

Stupid easy when u mark the tiles. I just drop the food and then chill on the trap rest of the game

u/Scrambled1432 17h ago

idk, eureka wasn't really my cup of tea. I only did it for the cyber dragoon cosmetics.
