The Runar

You can log out any time you like, but you can never leave. Good luck with your new character :)

Soon I'll be done with the clickfest (the salamanders) and then it's 1.5k chinchompas for 65 hunter. I'm hoping to get it in two or three days :)

So this weekend I was visiting my parents, which means that I had to play on my netbook. It's fast enough to play OSRS just fine though (and amazingly fast enough to record the game too despite being over three years old! <3 Linux for being so light). I was going to train hunter, hoping to get level 65 (as I said in my last video) but I forgot to take my mouse so I had to play using the touchpad :/ I managed to get 9-39 hunter anyway, but it wasn't very fun. I think I'll grind to 65 hunter in a few days and then go do something else, like slayer.

I have like 12 rune defenders in OSRS (on the non-DIY account) and I haven't received a single clue from cyclopes :/ Anyway, huge congrats for the hat :D

I just did a task of 218 abyssal demons and got two whips -.- no wand or orb yet :(

Bad clue loots and more quests

I kind of got addicted to the rooftop agility courses in OSRS :P Agility is actually my highest skill now. Also, I'll try to get those new T75 magic items in RS3 in a few days once the demons are less crowded.

Another OSRS video. Quite boring to be honest, but I'm trying to get all the low level quests done soon so I can move to more interesting stuff.

Thanks :D

Well, I went ahead and created the OSRS DIY account. It's named "Old Runar", feel free to add it. I also recorded this quick commentary (on my smartphone; I don't have anything else to record with right now, but that's going to change soon). I hope my accent is at least understandable :/

I'm thinking of doing what Oddish already did and creating a new DIY account for OSRS. Some months ago I made my current account non-DIY in OSRS and said that I don't have time to DIY two games, but now I feel that the situation has changed. The main reason why I want to DIY OSRS is that I've seriously lost all hope for RS3. I've been worried about the state of the game since EoC was released, but this legacy mode crap was the final straw for me. There are two main problems: First, Jagex's inability to plan anything beforehand. The combat system has been updated way too many times in the last year and it's annoying having to relearn everything about once a week. It seems that Jagex's development model is throwing crap on the wall and seeing what sticks - they don't seem to have any goals whatsoever.Second, the fact that most of the game's content is incredibly unbalanced. As I said in another thread, the combat system is actually not that bad, but the content just isn't balanced for it. Most of the content in the game was made with the old, simple system in mind - the new system makes players too powerful compared to the bosses. I haven't had any feeling of achievement in RS for a long time, because everything is way too easy.Anyway, this is just an idea and I'm not sure if I'll do this. I may also continue playing RS3, because I believe that I still have some unfinished business, such as my super-secret clue research project. If I'll continue with the plan and begin playing OSRS, I'm going to make more videos (with commentary of course). There are too few DIY RS videos currently.

I did my 300th clue today (yes, I keep track of them, including the rewards). Too bad I've been getting really bad rewards recently (excluding that ornament kit) :( I managed to get another “lucky” drop too, a dragon (med) helm from a dark beast -.- Less than 400k xp left to 99 ranged, so maybe two or three days. I only train with slayer, so it will take a while.

I really want to get an upgraded full slayer helm, but I still don't have a hexcrest :(

This must be the craziest bullshit I’ve ever heard. Jagex’s first mistake was that when they noticed that RS2 combat has flaws, they built the content around those flaws instead of actually fixing them. This has been happening since at least 2005 - there was no way to survive against Dagannoth Prime without protect from magic. They should've nerfed protect prayers back then, not seven years later. Almost every single RS2 boss requires you to use protect prayers or hits through them. Jagex’s second mistake was that instead of fixing the problems in the old combat system, they created a completely new one. It’s like noticing that Mario‘s controls suck and then replacing him with Sonic instead of fixing the controls: completely moronic. People play Mario games because it’s Mario. If they wanted to play with Sonic, they‘d buy a Sonic game. Jagex’s third mistake was that after replacing the combat system, they didn’t fix all the content that depended on the old, broken combat mechanics. That‘s why almost all the old bosses, equipment etc. just don’t work in EoC. EoC content is good, because it’s actually built on the new system. To continue with the Mario examples, this is like replacing Mario with Sonic but keeping the Mario levels. Jagex’s fourth mistake was that when they noticed that the old content just doesn’t work with the new combat, they actually started breaking the combat system again. I actually liked some of the ideas that Jagex originally had for EoC, like armor having only defensive bonuses (instead of a mix of offensive and defensive like in the old combat). Jagex’s fifth mistake is that they seriously believe it’s possible to build levels that work for both Mario and Sonic. It isn’t — and even if it was, they couldn’t fully take advantage of either character’s potential. The content has to be built on the combat mechanics and not the other way around. I personally don’t care which combat system Jagex chooses, but please just choose one of them and update all the old content to work with it. Throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticks isn’t a good development model.

Dragon legs/skirt (sp) kit. One of the two kits I already had :/ I'll probably get 99 range in a few days, less than 600k xp to go :)

So yesterday I was killing abyssal demons and I got a very lucky drop — at least for some wicked, cruel and thoroughly twisted definition of luck. Some of you may remember that this isn't even the first time I've been "lucky" with them. Anyway, I just had a dust devil task and suddenly a red thing appeared on the ground. Using some deductive reasoning I concluded that since the unknown object is clearly not red d'hide vambs, it must be a dragon chainbody. Right? Well, of course not, it was yet another goddamn shield left half.

It sticks to an anti-dragon shield and does... something. I don't need anti-dragon shields anyway because I have super antifires

First clingy mole drop. I don't think I'll have any use for it though :/

Just fine, studying hard - or at least trying to :P

It's been quite a while since the last update but don't worry, I'm not dead :P

thanks^^ mined ~1500 iron ore in the past week (out of ranging ammo), along with tears of guthix for a couple rc levels (keeping construction above rc, gonna be tough) currently doing rooftop for 90 tokens for full weight reduction o_0 The thing on the roof looks like you drew it with Paint :D

I'm 19 years old now :D I wanted the RNG to give me a nice birthday present but he wasn't in a good mood today

I wanted to buy a 3DS and Pokémon Y today. I visited three different stores and not a single of them had the 3DS in stock (and only one had the Pokémon). How is it possible that there's not a single 3DS in one of the largest cities of this country? I wasted about two hours of my life going back and forth -.- In the end I just ordered them from an online store. Apparently it's going to take a week or two until I get them though :(

I hate quests that you cannot do alone :/
