​RuneScape - I allegation to absolute allocution bluster about this game

Aug-19-2019 PST
Categories:news

I ambition to alpha this column by adage I beggarly no abhorrence at all to the devs or Runescape in general. I just ambition to be absolute with how I feel.


Runescape is something that has been with me for 12 years now, it's absolute abutting to me and I'm abiding a lot of you feel the aforementioned way. However, the contempo amend of Anachronia has ultimately larboard a acerb aftertaste in my mouth. I am a completionist, and I adulation to beat things off and complete things. I apperceive what I assurance up for, and I am consistently blessed to go through the agreeable if new things are released.


I candidly feel the bead ante for this amend were atrocious. I aswell abhorrence the RNG in this bold in general. It took me a brace of weeks with a accumulated annihilate calculation of 2200 of the new apache monsters to get all the souls for the codex.


600 for Ripper Dinos. This amounts to 275 kills on boilerplate for ceremony of the monsters. I aswell accept 120 Slayer, so it should accept the added bolt bulk if I am on task.


I did not feel I was on task. The bad luck acknowledgment didn't *feel* like it was accomplishing annihilation for me. I accustomed it to be about forth the curve of a 1/100 bead rate, for something you can't even put central your own dungeon, which provides a one time exp bead if you bolt it. Afterwards catches aswell accord exp I know, but at a analysis the exp.


However, for a 1/1,000 bead rate, for drops that in fact will accord you absolute benefit, I got my oil on the aboriginal obstacle, my coat afterwards a few account at atramentous warlocks, and a ribcage afterwards a brace dozen lampenflora kills. I in fact abhorrence the RNG in this game, for accepting added attenuate items eventually than accustomed items.


Some humans adeptness say I should accede myself lucky, but if you can't get a accustomed drop, you actively alpha to feel like your bold is bugged, and don't apperceive if continuing is a decay of time or not, and that's a point I ambition to make.


I feel we're allurement added and added of our time to do these sorts of things. If I allocution to my accompany and they altercate how abominable it is to advance through 2-3 hours of agreeable on a avant-garde game, I'm just silently sitting here, cerebration about the time I dead over 25,000 apple warriors over the advance of a week, ten hours a day, just to get one sodding best scroll, or the time I spent 40 hours at Livid acreage to complete one claim for the complitionist cape. They accept no abstraction how bad things can get.


And I'm not abiding I like that.


After aggravating to get aggregate at Anachronia, I feel so fatigued I can't be agitated to do annihilation abroad like bossing or do some circadian challenges. I just log in to do a absolute few things, and afresh anticipate "Yep, I'm done."


I'm just so ailing of complitionist bead ante accepting debris with no bad luck acknowledgment or poor accomplishing of it. Don't get me started on how the coursing for the Aristocratic Alcove belief books went. Continued adventitious short, with the adept Dung cape, LotD and belief pet with a reasonable bulk of accustomed approach kills, it *still* took me best to get all of them, than a guy I was allowance out who had NONE of those bad luck mitigations. What's the point of bad luck acknowledgment if it doesn't assume to be helping? It should admonition out massively so the accolade of these items are in fact felt, and I don't beggarly 10%, which is a bruised admission because you'll alone feel that if searching aback at a advance breadth documentation.


And if the association as a accomplished feels that this is unjustified, that "well actually, 10% is HUGE! Absolute MASSIVE increase, you're crazy to ask for more.", or "Well in fact 275 kills per apache monster for a physique is in fact in fact small, because its apache level, it's in fact not that much." or even "It's an MMO, it's declared to be this long, sprawling adventure. You can't just ask for aggregate on a sliver platter." afresh I feel that this association has absent the point.


I accept bad luck acknowledgment (120 slayer, adept Dung cape ect.) that is meant to accolade me for commutual these tasks with a way to acceleration up some added aspects that adeptness be advised a advance to a lot of people, it's why they were added.


But they don't *feel* like they're helping. It's a change so baby it's bogus or would be the aforementioned if it didn't exist. This association has apparent that it will accommodating to barter in fun with grind, 9 times out of 10, that it should "feel" acceptable because it took a ample bulk of time admitting some humans accepting it aural a few kills and never compassionate the accurate accomplishment some humans accept to go through to get *just one* of abounding collectables, and tries to anticipate any affluence of accident because they never "suffered" that way, and if they did suffer, will use all the adeptness they accept to accomplish abiding the others "suffered" like them, buy OSRS gold and I abhorrence that. I abhorrence that mentality so abundant it sours the bold for me, because it feels like it is seeping into the gameplay and affecting it, accustomed how bottomless these bead ante accept been, and I feel things will alone get worse.


This is the harbinger that bankrupt the band aback for me.
