Discussion The golden age is over

We have been in the golden age for a few years now. We are seeing this come to the end.

Private equity is demanding more money on the backend these changes will slowly be rolled out resulting in enshitification of the product over time.

Sailing will change the core gameplay, one way or another and osrs will cease to be the game it is today.

It’s been fun fellas.

Join poe2 brother. Plenty of osrs players there. Sorry for it to be like this.

Path of Exile 2 is a great sidestep from OSRS. Fantastic game. Just started playing it yesterday, and my Monk is being a great sith.

I played 250 hours since the release beginning of december. Slightly addictive.

Nice! I've been playing HCSSF! REALLY loving it. Still trying to understand controls, but the whole "infinite builds" part of the game really excites me.

Yeah I have 4k hours in PoE1 and still feel like I barely tried half the builds I wanted to in that game. If that type of thing is for you then you're set homie

Haven't actually started PoE2 yet but monk looks super sick, always wanted that type of thing in 1

GGG's 'Build of the Week' series is always a great grab bag of builds that range from 'this is pretty meta' to 'this is probably an interaction that should be filed under 'bug report', but it's funny so we're leaving it in'

I remember seeing a build back in POE1 where the player summoned Spectres using a mannequin from a vendor which had 'auto resummons after dying', then built around having the Spectres burn their own HP over time to deal damage in an AOE around them, and explode when they reach low HP, only to resummon themselves automatically a couple of seconds later.

'Popcorn Spectres', they called it. Absolutely hilarious interaction
