On the stream itself I agreed that the health scaling felt a little odd, modernising Todt a little might be the kind of neat thing to slip into a more general poll somewhere down the line.

On the plus side, at least quest requirements cap out at 66fm so you can leave it quite a while if you don't mind dropping the odd clue :(

Apologies for making you feel as though I missed the point. I think by and large I stand by my reasoning that NH is so prevalent because it's meta and what players use in all of those situations, but it's never specifically forced by us outside of LMS.

That being said I've tried to cover it in a little more detail with some possible down-the-road solutions in tomorrow's post on the point of ways we could perhaps implement more beginner-friendly setups without risking over-diluting the players available to matchmake. Hopefully it alleviates some of your frustration with the response given on stream.

(also hopefully BH because so many average joes (myself included) got started in BH risking peanuts just messing about, but a little outside of the scope of this particular convo)

It is good! Gotta remember these are never prepared responses and are always spur-of-the-moment. I was trying to illustrate some of the reasoning for trepidation behind buffing anti-PKing beyond 'I can protect 4 items' since it's already pretty prevalent. I'm sure there are better ways to get people to dip their toes in that might not potentially risk upsetting the balance of one of the more active hotspots.

More or less what the other commenters said, it's a decent mage off-hand and cuts cost slightly or frees up an invent space/rune pouch space for Iban's at a point in the game where GP might not be plentiful (e.g. safespotting blue dragons with Iban's for protection prayers).

There's also no easy guarantee of wrapping up a Book of Darkness quickly on an iron, and whenever conversation turns to Wintertodt I think most people associate it with early-iron more than anything else.

It's a vanilla Runelite plugin:

Menu Entry Swapper -> Item Swaps -> Bank Deposit Shift-click -> Eat/Wield/Etc.
Then you can just hold shift and get yourself equipped without the tick delay from the Equipment Interface

I'm passionate about demystifying and trying to help more people engage with PvP in honesty. I'm not great at PvP (especially not NH, I'm an Edge-style/BH kinda gamer) but I love it, it's just overwhelming. The skill floor is high and the learning curve is steep but once you start getting comfy or being able to consistently fight other people learning and start feeling yourself getting better there are so many hours of enjoyment to be had and it makes you a much better and well-rounded player imo.

Will always take opportunities to try and help people get started and hopefully see some of them stick with it!

Shamelessly yoinking these from ttv/Rhys but they're sound setups if you're looking to get learning NH in any of the builds:

sometimes I wonder if we ever look at the game we make and ask 'what have we done...'

bold of you to assume this is the first time I've posted this exact message

🦀Jagex won't respond to this! 🦀

I don't post any but your continued support means the world to me, make sure to smash that like button, hit the bell icon and to check out today's sponsor: RAID HelloFresh of Tankscaped Shadowsquarespace Legends

Happy Pride all, reclaim your pets and bring them along to celebrate!

all of these complaints about the actual rat catching side of things but have you guys read the dialogue? whole quest feels like a fever dream...

Not specifically! It's sort of part of the deal but it's not like I'm required to post about how much I hate Fishing Trawler, my day-to-day is a lot different and everybody in Community Management slots into a slightly different niche!

what's the world and location? I'll swing through for the paps

Deez! A quaint little hamlet, tucked away in an inaccessible area of the Enchanted Valley!

they say that it it don't be like it is, but it do

I've not done much since thralls came into the game, with vengeance it'd vary but fairly brain-AFK I'd get a reliable 7-9? It's been a minute though, anticipate with thralls and not intentionally dropping prayer to veng as much as possible on some rotations it'd be 9-11, but there's so much RNG involved that it's honestly hard to say and I'm not great at the game. I'm sure demons could do much much better still!

It's not something I've personally heard since joining (though I've not even been here 3 months yet!)

Gut reaction is that it might actually be a lot more technically challenging than it seems, but could understand the appeal. I tend to just keep my 4 doses where I want them and then decant fairly often if I've been chewing through supplies a bunch.

say less beast, I had the last week off but currently blowing glass and playing Divinity with pals who take 4 working days to make a combat turn, might as well have a couple of convos on the go!
