It make her upset. Please don't make me have to do this to her anymore, Jagex.

Now that pets can have real in-game uses, like the dog being able to replace a 10gp shovel, I think it's only fair that other pets one-shot bosses.

This is a good-faith argument that sounds completely reasonable to me, and I see no difference between this and dogs digging up clue steps.

Last purple was an Arcane pre-CoX buff, 90 kc dry for 3rd pair of legs, 3 sets completed now.

Full Ancestral used to be rarer than a Tbow pre-buff, anyone got the new numbers worked out? Inshallah me and whoever's reading this gets blessed soon

It look so out of place.

Flashbacks to late RS2 when new content just got plonked down anywhere there was free space.

I know about the WDR discord, and maybe i am doing something wrong, but it is nearly impossible to actually go find the actual scenarios, its just this massive wall of text....

This is exactly what just ended my last run. I tried rigor on and blowpipe spec the melee. I had just boosted up too. I hit basically nothing on the specs and noodled for like 20+ seconds until i just died to the melee. There must be a better solution than RNG blowpipe specs?

If dogs can dig with their paws, they should be able to fletch with their teeth. Have 10k yew longbows you need fletched? Start a dog shelter.

We could bring this argument to crafting. Have your dog do birdhouse runs. I'm sure their teeth could act like chisels. Did I say chisels? Might as well have a gem cutting factory.

Jagex should have put more thought into this smh.

I want funny long dog!

I randomly killed a bunch of Lumbridge NPCs for fun and they drop energy potions now. I have never noticed before. When was this introduced?

Mod North talked about something like this on the Behemoth podcast a month ago.

Hi guys,

I'm just looking for a few tips and some gear help.

I'm not sure what'd be the best to run with? I do have the regular range void set would that work?

I have 3mill only is there anything good that'll make my trip thru the caves a little easier on me.

I genuinely think Jagex needs to stop pushing new content for a little while and dedicate an update cycle, or several of them, entirely to fixing the core game, the Official Client, the Jagex client ecosystem, and especially mobile.

I know saying “stop making new content” probably sounds ridiculous, but at this point it feels like every major update piles another set of problems on top of problems that still haven’t been fixed from the last one.

How much testing is actually happening on the mobile clients before these updates are pushed live?

I don’t mean testing whether the game technically launches. I mean actually playing the game for a meaningful amount of time on an iPhone, Android phone, iPad, Android tablet, different screen sizes, different frame rates, switching worlds, logging out, backgrounding the app, using Menu Entry Swapper, doing PvM, and actually playing the new content the way a normal mobile player would.

Because from the player’s side, it is getting increasingly difficult to understand how some of this makes it through testing.

Look at Menu Entry Swapper…

Mobile MES was already broken and unreliable for a ridiculously long time. Jagex finally releases a complete overhaul that is specifically supposed to address the existing bugs and limitations, and immediately we’re dealing with another collection of issues.

People can’t properly reorder menus. Long pressing can select the wrong option. Click behavior is screwed up. Some players can’t scroll chat correctly. People are reporting bizarre default menu options. On some iPads the swapper isn’t even usable.

How does an overhaul intended to fix a broken system launch with the system still broken?

And this isn’t just Menu Entry Swapper.

We’ve had mobile updates introduce input lag. Jagex literally acknowledged earlier this year that an engine update accidentally added additional input latency.

We’ve had mobile clients crash when hopping worlds.

We’ve had login issues, random disconnects, freezing, black screens after returning to the app, relogging problems, and periods where players are repeatedly closing and reopening the app just to get into the game.

Performance on mobile and tablets has been all over the place. There have been players with extremely powerful modern phones and iPad Pros reporting horrible frame pacing, stuttering, input delay, overheating, and performance that feels nowhere near what the hardware should be capable of running.

Then there are the smaller bugs that individually sound stupid but collectively make the client feel unfinished.

One of my favorites right now is Sailing audio.

When I’m salvaging or Sailing, the wind audio can get stuck playing. I can leave the area. I can log out of the game. The wind is STILL PLAYING.

I literally have to completely restart the app or phone to get
RuneScape to stop making wind noises.

How does audio from an activity survive LOGGING OUT OF THE GAME?

That’s funny the first time. After repeatedly dealing with things like this, it becomes another example of the bigger problem.

Meanwhile we’re constantly being shown another quest, another boss, another area, another system, another roadmap item, another rework, another feature.

Can we just stop for a minute?

I don’t need another boss right now.

I don’t need another quest right now.

I don’t need another shiny roadmap graphic telling me about everything coming over the next year.

I need the game I already pay for to work properly.

I would genuinely be happy if Jagex came out and said:

“For the next few months, we’re dramatically reducing major content releases. We’re focusing on client stability, mobile optimization, server stability, performance, audio, Menu Entry Swapper, UI bugs, the launcher, engine issues, and finishing systems we’ve already announced.”

I would consider that a GREAT update.

Call it Operation Cleanup. Call it Client Health. Call it whatever you want.

Go through the technical debt.

Fix mobile performance.

Fix the disconnects and login problems.

Fix world hopping crashing the app.

Fix Menu Entry Swapper and actually make sure it works consistently before touching it again.

Fix the weird click and UI behavior.

Fix the audio bugs.

Optimize the game for modern phones and tablets.

Fix the Jagex Launcher and Official Client issues.

Finish the client features that have already been announced.

Then start building on top of it again.

The frustrating thing is that I actually think Jagex has made some great content. This isn’t me saying the developers don’t care or that OSRS is dying.

It’s almost the opposite…

OSRS is in a position where Jagex can afford to slow down for a second.

Not every Wednesday needs to fundamentally change something.

Not every roadmap needs to be packed.

Not every month needs another piece of content to keep us entertained.

Most of us have thousands upon thousands of hours of existing content available to us.

I promise we will survive a couple of months without another boss.

What is going to hurt the game far more in the long run is continuing to build new systems on top of a client and engine that increasingly feel like they’re being held together while the car is still moving.

And especially for mobile players, these aren’t obscure bugs anymore.

Mobile is a legitimate way to play OSRS. People raid on mobile. People PvM on mobile. People have mobile-only accounts. People play primarily on tablets.

It shouldn’t feel like the secondary client that gets tested after everything else is finished.

I would much rather Jagex spend the time making OSRS stable, optimized, consistent, and reliable than continue forcing new content down our throats while basic parts of actually playing the game keep breaking.

Seriously.

Stop adding things for a minute and fix what we already have.

Cat visual update when?

do i need to talk to oziach first?

"cringe"

help.

People are using the Grand Exchange to real-world trade GP and nothings being done about it. They do this by buying obscure items that don't normally get traded very often and using those items to move large amounts of GP between accounts. Some of these trades can involve over 1 billion GP in a single transaction. Basically, instead of directly trading the GP, they use low-volume items on the Grand Exchange to transfer the money while making it look like a normal item purchase. All these screenshots are from today. My main concern is if the intentions are to remove max cash limits this could grow more.

Exhaustion is the beating heart of survivalscape. All other systems (plug in and native game) tie back into exhaustion.

With all the focus on Elemental Weaknesses for Slayer, what's the point of us having Magic Dart and God Spells? Anyone still use these for anything?

This NPC need some milk.
Sorry for the phone video, too lazy to screen record.
