Welp, I'm back (and my forum avatar is gone), now that the semester is over. I'll definitely be able to get things in order on the forum this weekend, so yay.

Thanks to Rikornak for keeping stuff bumped!

On a side note, I've semi-quit RS because, well, everything is going to Zamorak's world, but I've bought some membership for the Christmas holidays at least. We'll see how it goes. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

I had no idea you made another megathread of fixes. Nice work

Now to my reason for posting - I'm afraid I can't offer any feedback on most of the fixes, as I can't access the locations most of them are in, but from what I can see I can agree with most of the fixes that touch f2p content.

However, I have a reason for disagreeing with one of them (that might not be shared by many players, but I felt an urge to mention it):

After moving on from FoG and after a brief detour to GOP I ended up in a F2P-Dungeoneering-focused community. We are concentrating on efficient DG, whether it be fast completion of floors, fast completion of 13% floors, xp/hr, et cetera. A member of this community made a spreadsheet of "records" which is a very interesting motivation for improving at DG and competing with others. We are not the only community with a spreadsheet like that, there is a much better known spreadsheet with P2P DG records. (I believe it had a huge thread on some well-known fansite forums, but can't recall which ones)

Now, if DG bosses were to be buffed, newer players would lose the opportunity to beat some of the records, as the time spent bossing would add a few seconds to every floor, and the records could end up being frozen forever (giving us the dilemma of either leaving them like this or archiving them and starting anew).

Then again, I do agree that a lot of the bosses are very easy to beat as they are now in most party setups on most levels (though Astea is incredibly hard on some levels when soloing).

Oh, and talking about DG bosses - in f2p I am mostly used to doing floors with 2 combatters and 3 skillers (combat level 3) on 5:3 difficulty (as it's the most efficient for xp/hr and therefore the mainstream way in our community), which means that the floors should be scaled to be beatable by 3 level 3s (though that is arguable, of course) and yet Bal'lak, Shadow-Forger, etc, are level 91 (not important at all though, I don't think anyone cares)

Play for fun!

Everything updated!

Re:5quarecrow
Obviously things would have to be carefully balanced, but the current situation is absurd since EoC utterly broke level scaling. I mean, I always solo, and I used to require a semi-full set of armour and lots of food and some skill to beat a boss. Nowadays I don't need any of that and I can kill them in ~5 hits.

I was thinking, in order to make hot air balloons more popular, certainly log storage boxes are a necessity. Mikel suggested removing the log requirement if a Firemaking skillcape is owned. That still leave the weight limit - perhaps remove that as a perk for the Agility cape, or make it a reward from the Agility Arena? Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire.

Maybe a thought for a different approach: As every ballon location has trees nearby travelling cost could be changed to single normal log (and be entirely disabled for firemaking skillmasters, you shouldn't have to wear the cape for this) - The cost for unlocking locations should remain as it is though. As of the weight limit I think it could be gradually increased by your agility level (40 + agility level) and entirely lifted for skill mastery as well. An unlock could work as well, but I think it should be done with a related activity/quest - and not just bumped on somewhere randomly.

What also wouldn't hurt if they were to introduce a new location to get players trying out the network once again then (and if only for re-earning their MQC and trimmed comp capes). A suggestion could be a level 45 firemaking location unlocked with 10 accadia logs which can be used to travel to the archaeologist camp near the scarabite dungeon and/or a level 70 firemaking location unlocked with 2 elder logs, which can be used to travel to a higher levelled area (maybe troll stronghold, somewhere in morytania,...). Something similar was done for the game necklace (new teleport to agoroth) to tease it for free players Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

A new location would be cool, yeah. I was hoping Menaphos would get a balloon station but no. It got a lodestone... but yeah, Ullek could be a fun place, after Dealing with Scabaras and/or Smoking Kills. Morytania wouldn't work narratively (Return to Canifis spoilers) but maybe Piscatoris? That has scrolls and a fairy ring but perhaps very close or even inside the Fishing Colony (after Swan Song). Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire.

Thanks! The suggestion is already there though (page 1, last post), as Hardened penance armour collectively. Does that suffice, you think? Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

Oh! I didn't even see that! That is perfect! Thank you! ^_^

Edit:

I have one more thing to point out. Placing the wicked robe in the AC reverts to default customization. Should that be changed to not do that? Idk the reason behind it other than making people farm for more points. At least change the wicked robe icons in the inventory to the colors you chose from the shop to better represent what you have.

A lot of interesting suggestions. Some I like (we need Still Night back in the music player - I like Still Night, and Busy Night should be a COMPLIMENT to Still Night, not a replacement for it), and some I disagree with (it's not like King Roald wanders all over the palace and is hard to find. His walking to the throne room and then the dining room and back is okay).

And yes, some mini-bosses could use a buff or two, such as the Black Knight Titan. And I replayed Another Slice of H.A.M. on one of my alts during the 'free' weekend in June, and couldn't help noticing the dwarves in the ending cutscene still had their old models (when of course the dwarves in the train stations in both Dorgesh-Khan and Keldagrim have the new models in the post-quest content). That glaring inconsistency should be resolved.
