The Thing with the Combination runes was that they were always used first. If you did a Varrock teleport it would use 3 dust runes (for air runes) and now it should use the Air runes, only for something like House tele, where the combination rune would use air and earth it uses the dust rune over the standard ones
I nuked almost my entire stack of steam runes from high alching recently because they were in my rune pouch and I didn't realize it was prioritizing using them over the 50,000 fire runes loose in my inventory
I think what they should do with the god spells is make new elemental weaknesses for them. Sara creatures being weak to zammy/guthix spells, zammy creatures weak to sara/guthix spells, and guthix creatures weak to sara/zammy. That way they can have niche uses in a way that feels natural
I absolutely abused it at Zulrah that week and honestly it was not that insane. On average slower kill times than bowfa only and as I was manually casting all 650 kc it was much more click intensive which felt balanced in its own way. I would like to see them make use of the charged god spells too even if they have to reduce the max hit a little bit. I think a lot of people didn't realize that the charged god spells were always the highest max hit in that spell book too
Do this and remove all autocast options. And do this to give us a reason to use God spells. The lack of scaling for mage abilities between early game all of the way up to getting some big upgrades was a problem I had chatting with my friends a year ago. Maybe give the God spells partial elemental damages? Idk they need something to feel worth using.
i can tell you right now as a low level ironman who needed mist and lava runes for a quest..... this new PROPER way. is bullshit. sent my ass back to mta all 4 rooms cause it used them when i teleported instead of my REGULAR EASILY OBTAINABLE runes.
I’m pretty sure I remember reading that the reason why flames of zammy was fire was due to a change a looong time ago making flames of zammy a fire spell for Ice Demon, and that leftover change was then made more relevent with this elemental change.
I lost all my dust runes because the air runes weren’t being prioritized first. The dust runes were in my pouch and they were being used instead is what I think they meant.
A-ha! Salarin the Twisted is a boss I only know from Chunk Yanille. Super weird boss. He has a mechanic where he can ONLY be damaged by basic strike spells, which deal increased damage and always roll their max hit. And for some reason requires 57 agility or 82 thieving to access. I'm curious how he'll change with the spell scaling changes. He was unique before. And personally, since I have this soap box here, I think that the strike spells shouldn't scale. Their scaling is so much more dramatic than the other spells -- 2-4-6-8 is very different from 9-10-11-12 It makes Water, Earth, and especially Fire Strike completely obsolete for F2P noobs killing goblins and black knights. Using Earth Strike instead of Fire Strike because it was cheaper is a precious memory that I want to protect.
Just because something is a precious memory doesn't mean it needs to be protected, learning elemental weaknesses early on top of general combat trial weaknesses can only be beneficial for new players. Besides everyone just uses a staff of fire anyways.
Well, Fire Strike with staff of fire is 1 mind rune+2 air runes still. And Air strike with a staff of air is just the 1 mind rune. So it's significantly cheaper to cast air strike. But it is less base XP per cast (especially when splashing), so fire strike still has noteworthy benefits over air strike, not even taking into account the fact that Fire strike has a wider spectrum of NPC's it's good against. (maybe it could be better though? IDK, I haven't done F2P stuff in years)
@@Saplingbat They'll still learn elemental weaknesses once they reach level 17-35 magic and are casting Bolt Spells. And even beyond the nostaliga of using a staff of earth specifically because air runes were too expensive for me (lol), I also don't like seeing the damage scale that much. Holding an air staff and max hitting an 8 at level 13 magic for just a single mind rune is _crazy_ -- that's on the level of 40 str and adamant scimitar with strength ammy, or 40 range and maple shortbow with adamant arrows. Every other tier of offensive spell gets +1 damage as you learn each type. Strike spells are already an exception to the rules.
They didn't add fire to flames of zammy, it has always had the elemental tag (remember there were a few quest bosses weak to fire before) and it worked as a fire spell since then
wasnt there a post somewhere a few weeks ago about the next poll being about qol at wintertodt and gotr? what happened to that? theres been like 2 polls since
WT is whatever but I would absolutely have noticed an official post talking about gotr, so many absolutely awful mechanics tied to that minigame which is still the "best" rc method
@dakkenly ahh I found it and I miss remembered the wording "next qol poll" not next poll in general From may 23rd update post: It's worth noting that our next QoL Poll will see us focus on more significant changes to some minigames/activities, including Wintertodt and Guardians of the Rift.
Would you & spookdog ever consider doing more ingame community based content? I never missed a UIM vid of yours because I play the mode myself and you have such a unique approach to the game but GIM really doesn't appeal to me at all and I've found myself unable to watch that series even though I find you and spookdog really personable together a shared bank is just less impressive to me than a solo iron or even maxed main to watch. Y'know like those videos where people host little gameshows, quizes, etc with stray noobs or members of their online community? I reckon y'all have what it takes to be some of the best in the genre if it appealed to you.
I think previously if you had steam runes and water runes, and then used a spell that only required water runes, it would use up the steam runes. I'm assuming they changed it to only use the water runes now, but i havent tested it.
Really hope they come back to flames of zamorak in the future. I think that this really highlighted what players want from elemental weaknesses. We want them to feel STRONG. Not a 3% dps improvement over toxic trident. STRONG. And that's what flames of zamorak delivered on
I play mobile only and the whole switching the side stones gonna suck but I do appreciate the plug inside bc I got like 6 or 7 quests left and doing them with out plug-ins sucks but mobile and no plug-ins whooooo love the vids keep it up
My though for combo rune was maybe if you had a combo, and a single element rune of that combo, it might sometimes use both rune, instead of just the combo rune. or say use 2 different combo that share an element, instead of just the one combo.
I would definitely enjoy a few one-off videos progressing in Deadman mode. I also really like these blog post update videos, especially when I am taking breaks from the game.
What do you mean no updates? Literally every single time I try to log in, the game is updating. I want my money back. I have like 2 hours per week but the game is never available when I want to play.
15:37 Lol? Why would you study and/or memorise the numbers even if something was guaranteed to come out. Either it's BIS at a given location/ encounter or it's not, there's nothing to memorise
there was a post on the forums showing that there was a magic damage bonus on the full durability bloodmoon tassets, that went away when they became damaged. It wasnt shown on the stats panel either.
Maybe! Although I assumed these beta worlds would only be accessible via mobile. And if that is the case, you might be at a disadvantage trying to practice on mobile
If you're looking for a basic freeware video editor Shotcut is really good, it can't do anything fancy but for the fundamentals it's really solid & easy to use.
the better version of fixing Flames of zammy would be to Remove the Charge spell and add in 3 new God Spells that are the Charged version of the current ones and make them a tick slower to cast to balance them
I think that's kinda what they're going for. Keeping it nerfed so then being able to add new spells to fill the niche in the future as rewards from future quests, minigames, bosses, etc
@@antvn222Its one of those stupid comments by OP that immediately becomes outdated, like saying "wow a perfect 100 likes on the video!" only to immediately change by the time people read their comment... honestly not sure how people can be so dumb.
I don't feel like you have to do a video on every update especially when its a smaller one. Just weave these changes into your GIM vids. I like watching your update reviews because I play a GIM myself and like your perspective on it.
That's why I didn't make one last week. But now after 2 weeks there's been enough updates/news to warrant a video to help people catch up to date. Although after I didn't post last week, I then kept getting comments about why I didn't make one
Also I commonly get complaints when I show game updates in my GIM vids cause it takes me 2-3 weeks to make one. The complaints being either the updates are too old, or that they don't care and just want to see progress
For the combat rebalance, will it only be the standard spells for the spellbooks or will it be also for ancients? I still feel that smoke and shadow need a little more that isn't coming from an item like the sceptre.
