Grats now get bloodhound and KBD

I'm not even trying to get bloodhound anymore lol I'm still trying to get KBD but when I play I only do about 10 KBD trips a day, but the drop rate is like 1/3000 I think so maybe one day. I read most people get it around the 2500th kill

I didn't remember being able to have pets in RS. At least from what few memories I have of playing it. It's pretty awesome that there's one based on the Phoenix though. Does it makes a fire so you don't have to use items to do it instead? The purple look is pretty sweet, too. ^^

It wasn't in the game back in the day, it's a new thing that started when Old School Runescape came out ~ Pets are also members only.

Ohh, ok. That makes sense. What do you mean members only though? Like, users that pay to play for an edge over other players?

RS has member only worlds, and non-member worlds. Members get access to all skills / equipment / pets / whole game. Non-members is just certain skills, a couple of towns, and basic armors and stuff. Of course non-members is free to play and members is paid to play with a subscription you pay for every month. I think it's $12 a month atm.

Huh. I'm glad you're getting the most you can out of it in that case. Seems like non-members don't really get the full RS experience.

 Non-members is meant to just be something similar to a "trial" version of RS where you get basic skills to try, and combat experience. A lot of people will level up to around level 80 combat before they buy members so you can still do a lot on non-member worlds. I never had non-members though I've always had members, I miss back when it was only $5 for members though lol.

Ohhhh, ok. I've played a game that had a similar setup lie that before. Did RS always have those 2 different categories of players or is it something they added after the original release? I know what you mean though because it just seems like even in games things are getting a little expensive.

As far as I know, yes, it's been that way since RS2 released in.. 2002? I think.. I wasn't playing it back then but it's been the same since RS2 released with members/non-member worlds. in 1999-2002 in RS Classic there wasn't member/non-member worlds I don't think. I guess $12 a month still isn't a lot for a game but the price has been steadily increasing over the years lol

No more like 94-ish but now it's just sitting in my bank. I might try to work on smithing tonight. I still need to finish this Firemaking which is what I'm doing right now. 

 

@Wild Emotion It seems to go up every year, but to be fair, most things are. Seems like inflation is with every thing these days ._.

That probably doesn't bode well for the future. >< That's why I used to go to Gamestop to buy my games (when I could anyway since I can't drive myself anywhere), but I'd always look in different cases of the same games to try to stick a manual in one that still had the original art sleeves on them. lol I used to hate not having a manual for any game, but now I don't think there's any manual for any game. XD At least it'll make it easier to buy used games now and I won't be so picky. If we ever go to a Gamestop again anyway. Nowadays it's just easier to order games online. ^^;

Well considering everything increases but payroll doesn't, does make it a problem lol ~
I guess most people probably use the internet for game manuals these days, since you can find them online and find a walkthrough for any game now too.

Are you finishing buyable skills first? 

[efaardvark]

This isn't exactly about my recent gaming activities.  I've been too busy to play (or post much) lately but I have to comment on that SLIM landing.  It was so Kerbal!     I don't know how many times I've gone for a landing in KSP where something happens and the lander I'm piloting winds up on its side or top - usually after rolling/sliding down the slope of a crater - instead of upright on its landing gear as designed.  SLIM is real life imitating typical KSP game play.

The KSP load screen even reflects this (pretty much central) aspect of game play.  In KSP things often don't go exactly according to plan.  If you're lucky and things don't simply blow up then you can wind up in some pretty silly situations.

Compare..

Too perfect!  Well not really, but you get the idea.      Been there, done that.  In game at least.

So here's to JAXA successfully completing the mission.    Even if not exactly according to plan.

Sounds easier tbh lol But stuff like Construction I don't really feel like doing, even though maxing Con takes literally just a bored weekend.. x.x I was just getting everything 90+ atm 

[efaardvark]

Just tried the Voxlands demo on Steam.  Had to run it under proton on my linux box but it seemed pretty solid for a demo.  Played a couple of levels and a bit of the crafting tutorial.  Looks promising.  Definitely be interested in seeing how the full game turns out.

Omg I forgot Adventure Quest is a game that exists  I used to play that so much when I was a teenager. There was another version of it too that wasn't multi-player but I don't remember what it was called that I used to play all the time ~ tbh I'm surprised Adventure Quest still exists lolz

I think you're thinking of Dragon Fable. It was by BattleOn games as well, the same as AQ but it was 1 player in a story line instead of multi-player. I think it's still running too. 
I'm going to play AQ again this evening.

Ooooo Yesssh I think it was Dragon Fable ;o I remember it being similar to Adventure Quest yeah, and both were fun.

Had one of those !^$@!^%@ baby zombies somehow get into a town I'd fortified!  No idea how he got in.  I thought maybe a glitch in the wall I put up around the town.  I was pretty careful putting it up and I went around and checked again but still couldn't figure it out.  Must be a patch of darkness somewhere inside where he can spawn.

Worse, it managed to zombify a cleric and two librarians that I'd leveled up before I managed to find and kill it!  Between them the librarians had trades for enchanted books with Silk Touch, Unbreaking, and Mending, plus a couple others. 

Fortunately the newly-zombified are all enclosed/covered so I can keep them safe and away from me and the rest of the villagers.  But they're not going to be trading anymore any time soon.  I don't think they'll despawn either but I gave them all books to make sure.  Going to have to cure them somehow.

lol Yeah I have. ^^ So much farming though. XD

Which game did you get the rare pet in? I wanna sseeee iiiiit~

I really didn't expect to end up typing that much. ^^; I don't think I meant to say so much at once in one post lol It's a sweet game though!! B2 and 9S do seem like they're in a complicated relationship, but this I'm also a Nier franchise virgin so this is actually my very first Nier game I've ever played. I just wish I would've looked into them sooner though so I could've enjoyed the ones before Automata, too.

I think subscribing ps+ in playstation, nier replic is free so be aware of sales and promos in switch store

Edit: finally 100% The last of us part 2 remastered, grounded mode in No Return was so fun

Next to 100% is A Plague Tale: Requiem!
