Huge Changes are Coming to Oldschool Runescape in 2024! [OSRS]

[@OrcOfCourse]

So glad they're fixing water before Sailing. Imagine sailing over that tiled static ocean graphic

[@artur-ux7yb]

Exactly😂

Great video FlippingOldSchool, I was a bit surprised about the section dedicated to Nieve's collarbones.

[@FlippingOldschool]

You and me both!

[@Bo-kq8tn]

as an architecture and geography nerd, I am SO EXCITED for varlamore!! I got so excited when I saw the map, the central city with surrounding farms, and the AQUADUCT!! I especially appreciate all the red painted columns, not many folks know this but greco-roman marble sculptures were usually painted bright colors, the paint was just degraded off them over time (or worse, removed by people before artifact conservation standards existed). Also super excited for a lower level boss, I've had zero interest in bosses since it seems like they're all for high levels and I've never made it that far, but a rat king seems a lot less intimidating to try! AND super excited for the HD lighting/post processing, osrs's graphics flipped around to looking like a modern low poly game, it looks great and I hope it'll draw in new players too! :)

[@hahahahaha12434]

I’m right there with ya pal!!

[@destructorzz7197]

Good lord. I don't know whether to call you a giga nerd or thank you for the actually interesting info.

[@lvsoad22]

At least learn to spell aqueduct correctly

[@mikestealth8662]

It’s really cool to see them making a ditterbitter boss tbh

[@DarkMeyer777]

Looks like a mix between Aztec/Mayan & Ancient Roman. Culture = Aztec/Mayan, Architecture = Ancient Roman, looking forward to it!

[@Xhotic]

sailing is going to be a huge opportunity for future content, island raids, islands with slayer monsters/bosses, man new items, im just so excited for the future , While Guthix Sleeps and the new Prayer system is the MOST EXCITED ive been in a LONG TIME, and i cant wait to see what else they bring during this Summer Summit!

[@Zoned0ut123]

stopped playing years ago but i feel happy for the players for new content that actually looks good

All of these other than scurius, varlamore p1 and eventual release of sailing are all currently being polled and have not been made official yet and won't be official until the poll closes on January 26th. While Guthix Sleeps, Defender of Varrock, the wilderness changes to elder chaos druids and rework of various wildy content, the herblore activity in varlamore p2 AND the varlamore group boss are all UNCONFIRMED. IF you like these ideas, you NEED to vote now before January 26th, 2024, or they might not make it into the game!

[@brobrochannel2387]

Love the prayer alignment idea

[@sjdjfieizkck]

I normally stay away from buying from a clip inside a preview, but I went and bought inquisitor. If it's not a thing in the colluseum, they mentioned they want to bring more crush weakness in-game, and when they rebalance NPC's melee defence they will certainly work crush in (that's probably what's causing melee defence rework).

[@chrisrambo6810]

They would be better off adding something to add to inquisitors too low def requirements and changing that now would be problems

[@bayzul7405]

Sailing feels more a progressive skill than just higher level items like Herblore or Construction. Expands, that's an interesting take to expanding on your other skillsets with each level bracket low or high youre at. Hope it swims smooth, new skills and team gets confident releasing skills like ol early 00's scape.

[@morganrowe1029]

Im getting King Skeletal Wyvern vibes for the new group boss on the mountain. Going off "not humanoid", being on top of an icy mountain path and no boss variant of SW as far as I know (vorkath making a dragon seem less likely, ice troll king from Fremmenik Isles also makes less likely)

[@HavocParadox]

balrog.. all i can say.. fucking a balrog.. it fits the mountain

[@lampisfun1139]

I was thinking an ice titan or golem considering it’s near the dwarf area

[@samoantrophy]

I was hoping for a Yeti or Sasquach styled monster that's decently big and fast like Nex

[@morganrowe1029]

@@lampisfun1139 Sounds too humanoid for it I think. "Monster" is more like a beast imo

[@morganrowe1029]

[@cheesemongering109]

yea dude all of these update are going to be not only awesome but draw new players in. this is huge for osrs im so excited to be playing again for this update. fuckin awesome

[@robertseptim3579]

I am so excited for all of this but especially the official HD update. Something about Jagex's touch makes it so much more smooth and seamless

[@Woogan_RL]

Man I almost came when I saw this vid and the new updates. LET'S GOOOOO! thank you jagex. You are doing good my bois...and girls🥂🎉🎉🎉

[@BenjaminBlack-ee4mi]

I can't wait for the HD I've been using the vanilla since 2013.

[@PaladinfffLeeroy]

Man, I am excited about While Guthix Sleeps and Varlamore.

[@jimboramba]

Seems like the colosseum gamemode is kinda like the part in Fable where you fight in a colosseum. You can quit at any point or push on for round after round, fight a final boss for a grand prize.

[@karm00n29]

this is exactly what he said why u repeating?

[@jimboramba]

@@karm00n29 he didn't mention Fable. Fable is a game from 2003

[@CMDR_John_Crichton]

I'll be honest, I want absolutely nothing to do with any HD features Jagex releases for OSRS. If I want HD, I'll either use 117's plugin or play RS3. I'm just glad we'll be able to switch between HD and SD at will.

[@shotbydh]

I feel like the group boss on the mountain will be something like the Hati Wolf boss back in the day near rellekka

[@billbarthel5224]

Absolutely STACKED looking year!! Let's go OSRS!

[@poimon5607]

when I heard HD, I thought "eh its probably not gonna be better than 117" but damn I love the way it looks!

[@cheesemongering109]

oh wow the alignment is such a brilliant idea !!!!! what the hell thats such a great idea, im so excited for the future of this game how fuckin cool is this i feel like a kid discovering osrs for the first time.... man this is the biggest update osrs has ever had.

[@cheesemongering109]

so glad they are just updating and building on the original art style. i enjoy osrs nostalgia

[@TheGgaarrrreett1]

How have you already made an entire video lol, grandmaster youtube speed time right here

[@FumblsTheSniper]

Look, all I want is for an update to the pirate questline and it better lead up to and go along with Sailing. Yes, it’s only because I want to put a red or blue beret on my mime mask.

[@dawarmonky2122]

I really wish theyd come out with a day/night cycles...

[@StandardLoop]

Great year ahead for osrs 🚀

[@Xookazoid77]

They should release the new island with no way of getting there until you can sail 😂

[@natalyst]

Ive always been anxious about getting into bossing because i could never find a decent introductory boss so I'm excited for the rat

[@Brandon-f3t]

There’s so many beginner boss , barrows Sarachnis , Mole . Deranged arch , chaos eke

[@zbabyg6998]

​@user-sk2jc4si8f and none of the skills from those bosses tra slate to late game content. Go try Scurrius, you'll see what a success it is.

[@ProtoxxGaming]

I wish RS3 would release a roadmap...

[@thirteenthgrade508]

I feel you. I used to play osrs a lot and play rs3 now but with how much effort they put into OSRS is RS3 given that many resources?

[@ParadigmSh1ft_]

Official HD is dead on arrival without runelite

[@marthpwner]

I don't play OSRS but I try to keep up to date on it. Are the flails shown off in the rat boss brand new, and no one is bothering to mention them? It seems interesting.

[@oscarflores6367]

[@WreckedRevival]

I've been hoping for WGS and TD's to be reimplemented for quite awhile, a friend and myself completed it pretty much on release and farmed TD's for claws a long time afterwards making a ton of GP. I'm hoping they move claws back to the TD drop table, have always thought it was just weird being dropped at Chambers especially considering the big loot table it has. I've got a lot of good memories throughout playin RS over the years but that was probably one of my favorites along with Nex and a few other updates. I also really liked curses back in the day but not really a fan of the prayers that were pitched as they stand now anyway.

[@blaine453]

can't imagine how you can make sailing an interesting skill to level

"Part 3 will come after part 2 , because that's how numbers work"

[@danksauron3172]

So hyped for sailing. This is by far the best decision they've made in a long time.

[@thatsleepyman]

They better let you literally 'trim' your sails when you reach 99. Just like a trimmed skill cape.

[@PsychoCharlieCat]

The HD renderer will also be way more optimized since it's moving away from the old web based graphics, so we'll get significantly better framerates, even on mobile. I imagine it would be very similar to HDOS which has amazing performance.

[@toy5965]

I hope your right about this

[@AFCA_Godenzonen]

The main thing I dislike about HDOS is the water texture, luckily this new HD update has way better looking water

[@Rjm00]

I really hope they don’t change dragon claws just feel like they’ve been in the game for too long to completely change where they come from

[@PutridXII]

They're not going to change the dragon Claws they're concerned about it's placement amongst the stuff they're adding so if anything they're going to work around the claws

[@corys876]

We get to vote! And no I wouldn’t vote for d claws to come from here!

[@JYCrazy1]

The poll is live now in game, and there’s a question about this! I voted to keep them in CoX, hoping that option wins.

[@Titi-oh]

Claws never made sense coming from COX and it made it feel so much more bloated.

[@WreckedRevival]

@@Titi-oh yeah I agree COX already has a good loot table and weird coming from there, esp if you farmed TD's back in the day like I did.

[@TheDiabloke]

I’m curious, how would you pronounce the word “saline” as in saline solution?

[@blackcaller9]

:0 noticed a visual update on the mace weapon in the rat fight mace changes ?

[@miquelr2353]

All I want from the client is turning the camera with asdw instead of arrows 😂

[@IL_Bgentyl]

Imo it’s a good direction. But what I don’t like is just more and more bosses added. Imo there should be a net loss. Like bosses 1-2-3. One drops stuff good to kill 2 then 2 for 3 where you make your money back. Or with sailing make it where sailing gets you to great areas to level skills from 1-20 / 20-30 / 30/40 and so on. Aka add content but make it all intertwine so new and old players can play together more.

[@B.404M]

The HD update will make me switch from RS3 to OSRS :o

bruh this fuckin updates going to own

[@HolyFlare484]

the Varlamore expansion makes the existence of Roman and Mayan culture canon in RS

[@lampisfun1139]

Not really. There’s nothing in game that says anything about those cultures by name. It’s just inspiration. It’s not like varrock being a place means England is canon because they use castles.

[@danteice2087]

This just means noone is going to use their hd update, kind of a shame it looked nice not getting rid of my runelite tho. And I'd rather get a finished skill released in two years than an unfinished skill released sooner

[@Ohanrahan]

I feel like most of these are pretty interesting/exciting to look forward too. However i will say and i might be the only one, but i really cba with a new skill, and even more so Sailing. I honestly think Dungeoneering/Summoning are 100x more interesting then Sailing. But oh well. Besides Sailing i think most of the things on here are very interesting. I think Varlamore has alot of potential, new quests are always fun to look forward too aswell. All in all its very good and looks promising to look forward and experience these new things in the future

It was a stupid mistake I told him it took me years to get all the stuff. He said he doesn’t disrespect women then blocks me. Now I’m just back to square one my heart is broken.
