"WILL YOU DO RS3 BY RELEASE?!" | Q&A #1

[@seankelly9301]

Hey J1m, random guy on KZbin offering advice, but I personally think it would be easier to transition more of your main audience to watching you in other games if you do history bits like you did with construction and the split between OSRS and RS3. Those videos have a lot of draw and are also informative, so they would give the audience a clue as to what is happening in a future video if they don’t play that game personally. Just my thoughts!

[@rory6987]

I think this is probably the best way for helping the audience "assimilate" easier into watching his other videos lol. Very good idea

[@s_ludge]

@@thomasmcgrath8568 nah, have to disagree. I think his content is great but what makes J1mmys content is J1mmy. I don't know the dude, I'll probably never meet him, but he's a funny dude. Anyone can make OSRS content, or any other content, end of the day it doesn't matter what game or subject it is. Be a bit more open.

[@Dhemize]

couldn't agree more with artisan

[@makse10]

Dude, I've loved basically all of your songs. And, all of your content's been stellar. I found you through Framed, and 9rain and Settled through both of you. I'm so glad I found this little pocket of creators. Hope you keep together well, man. Have a good one. Edit: Codes was definitely one of your best songs, for sure. No offense, but I actually think "Platform" was one of the weaker ones. And, I don't count "Fireman", since it was sorta the proto-By Release song, in my mind. The RNG video was probably one of the best episodes, along with the Recipe For Disaster One, and the '07 Finale. The interactions between you and the boys make some of the best moments, in my opinion.

[@derous]

I introduced my friend to your channel through your newest Valorant video and he loved it. He's never played OSRS but still tunes in to watch all your new videos no matter what the game is. I think you got potential to be really out there Jimmy, and I'm gonna root for you the whole way. :)

[@ItsTripwyre]

I didn't know about you prior to By Release, and it immediately became my favorite OSRS series. I think it has a genuine humor that a lot of Runescape videos lack that is still well balanced with the depth and goal of the content itself. Also you and Nicole are adorable. Hope my honest feedback wasn't too harsh

[@PowhaBottom]

Jeez @J1mbo.. you're rant at the end hit me so deep! Life's got me really down this past year since my dad suddenly passed from COVID. I have played runescape since i was in elementary school and had become a huuuge outlet for me while having to deal with my Dad's passing, and it's funny how much this game teaches us about life.. keep up the hard work, it's our determination and experience that makes us heros!

would love an RS3 series even if it isnt 'by release' this damn golden partyhat event has sucked me back over from osrs and now im addicted!

[@dirgeruven8247]

After getting inspired by the by-release series, I created an alt account on rs3 to kind of get that sense of nostalgia from my time playing all the quests that I have forgotten. getting all the way to dragon slayer I realized that it is physically impossible to do a by-release playthrough in RS3. Jagex removed a few quests that gave the quest points needed to start the dragon slayer quest that needs 33 quest points just to start the quest. This is due to Jegax soft rebooting the start of the game where Tutorial island use to give 4 quest points, removing quests such as Romeo and Juliet, removing and placing new ones in such as prince Ali rescue being swapped out for two quests, and turning what was once quest into mini-quest that do not give quest points. This would not give the quest points needed to finish the first year. The way I found a way around this issue to do a by release was doing the quest that was the soft reboot quest that played no pivotal role to the quest that acted as a tutorial teaching players of the different mechanics such as EOC

[@chesney1995]

Yeah if you do the reworked Demon Slayer in place of Demon Slayer, Gunnar's Ground in place of Romeo and Juliet, and Stolen Hearts and Diamond in the Rough in place of Prince Ali Rescue - all quests that take the same place in the storyline as the originals, you should land on exactly 33 quest points arriving at Dragon Slayer. EDIT: Also anyone doing a "By Release"-esque or timeline order playthrough of RS3 - do NOT do the Death of Chivalry in place of Black Knight's Fortress. This rework moved the quest to a far later point on the timeline and contains major spoilers for quests that come before it.

[@dirgeruven8247]

@@chesney1995 well said, thank you for the heads up on Death of chivalry I am not close to starting it but it is still worth the heads up.

[@skawt24]

Doesn't the fact that they removed the quest points from witch's potion and Sheep Shearer kinda make doing Heroes and Legends quest impossible to do in release order as well as those 2 quests required every quest prior to release to be finished.

[@dirgeruven8247]

@@skawt24 yes it does, I have had to do several quest that again play no role but to add mechanics. To put it simply by release is completely impossible to do.

[@snoozbuster]

There’s a few other quests that got reworked too, like rune mysteries. I get why they did it, it makes more sense for the world and for new players, but it does mean you have to take some liberties. Keep at it though - there’s a lot of quest lines that were cliffhangers in os that were finished in rs3, and some of those quests are REALLY good. Getting qpc in rs3 was a very enjoyable experience (at least, once you get through the first 150 qp or so).

[@marijnvanrossum2609]

J1m, I would love to see a video from you exploring ideas of the artisan skill. I'm very curious as to what you would think would make the skill work (in comparison as to what was polled). Or just a video with you talking about new skills would be interesting :D

im glad we got you :) this was really cool and it felt honest. ngl i got that michael scott "thank you" feeling when you brought up the ungratefulness issue among us players. the OSRS community got it so good, its a nightmare so many other places. i dont always vibe with videos but i always love your music, and as a person i feel youre a genuine one. sorry i dont have any questions lol.

[@danielwright568]

Really love this type of 'behind the scenes' style of video, good stuff Jim! I'm a long time viewer so I'll put forward this question if by chance it gets picked up although you may have covered this before: Do you consider By Release to be the evolution of According to J1mmy and will the red chaos magician man ever make a return? I'm intrigued to know your thoughts about what that character represented to you because his storyline kinda ended without a resolution. But maybe that was the point?

There's a video explaining it somewhere way back.

[@standupgamer117]

[@natashag4]

Id definitely watch more RimWorld, I will be honest I am a huge fan and your vids have helped reinvigorate my runescape love multiple times. I am also guilty of not really being interested in non-OSRS vids... except for ones I've played before. I would 100% watch informative content in other games tho like another comment mentioned, for example I tried to watch the Valorant one but was pretty much lost, same with the Lost World one but had no real clue what was happening and obv i enjoyed the humour but theres so much humour content out there, and in games I know. I really wish you good luck on expanding, I found you like many others right after ur first By Release and i really hope to see you thrive and be able work on things you love while also making a good income obviously. I honestly really enjoyed the vid where you admitted you had burnt out of Runescape, since I had burnt out only a few months before you, love your content, I also ramble in comments but best wishes

[@Prengle]

When it comes to music and theory etc, learning it is great, though it's just a tool. Whenever you have the inspiration you can start small. Like you can start with chords. you don't even need to worry about the specifics about the chords. Things like what key it's in or if it's a diminished or augmented chord? Just treat that as noise and focus on the keys/notes and see how they sound etc. I'm sure you've done so, but you can keep going in a similar fashion too. Like after you know a few chords, look into some keys and scales. Improvise around the key and get a feel for the key's "texture" and so on. You don't even need to relearn how to read music at this point, luckily It's not all or nothing, it's more like a tool-box you can add to.

[@flake8382]

19:50 "I don't understand how artisan hasn't been added to the game." I do. 1) it's one more skill to get 99 in. 2) We have plenty of skills already And finally, and most importantly: 3) People don't understand what Artisan will be. If you said "Artisan would be slayer but for skills instead of PvM" that would be "ooooooohhhhhhhh" for a lot of people. Without knowing that, Artisan sounds like crafting, and seems pointless. We need to sell the idea of Artisan as a "Slayer but for skilling" - Slayer was awesome for PvM and I agree artisan could be sick.

Talking about music outside of osrs and being worried about moving it into a realm of not game related you mentioned them not being funny, for me I think you could make none osrs music but still funny your analogies and dry humor is what keeps me coming back not the game. I think if you find a way to channel your humour into none osrs music it may feel less daunting and (not that I've gone out of my way to look for them) but you don't exactly see comedy rap/music and you could really make something unique and special whilst staying in the world your comfertable in.

I don't think your old stuff is better than newer necessarily- I think the people who say they miss it or that it was the best are mostly speaking from nostalgia.

RS3 videos would never be anywhere close to By Release. The series are very enjoyable and rewatchable, because of how unique idea it is and how well you present it. Even for RS3 audience, because many has experienced this oldschool RS back then. However making content about something that lot of OSRS (which is the major % of fanbase ) don't care on its own, by player who doesn't actively play, or ever played RS3 much doesn't sounds like a great idea. Maybe with colab with some RS3 content creator/player, maybe.
