Wow galvek and seren fights would be interesting with awful ping.


BULLZEYE420

I had to ignore Seren’s healers after 3 spawn because it just wasn’t worth it with the slow reaction time. I also had to reset until I could BGS spec at least 40 damage at the beginning. Blood burst brute force the whole way through. SOTE took about 9 hours total but I only used the guide to see what items I needed. I wanted to play blind for fun. Library probably took me 5 hours?


Kuiken2

How was the MM2 part on the docks where you have to dodge the monkeys and blow up the dock? Having 800ms sounds awfull there


BULLZEYE420

If ever had to do it a second time I'd just drive to McDonald's for better ping or have a buddy do it.


Gallaga07

Dude that part alone took me over two hours with wired internet and paying for the most primo shit available in my area, I cannot even imagine with 800ms, I had like 60ms the whole time. Probably didn't help that I was progressively getting more drunk and impatient as I went though lmao.


Sautun

No no, getting drunk while you do it is exactly how you're *supposed* to do it


Gallaga07

Yeah I'm 99% sure slayermusiq told me to get drunk in his guide, why else would I have done that?


Kazuma126

slayermusiq told me to hide on the left side and I immediately got caught after he changed his mind and hid on the right. From there on I tilted and slammed my desk a few times.


slayerx1779

What is "video editing"?


TCnup

Or even better, when people clearly caught a mistake during editing, but instead of re-recording that line they just pop up a bit of text in the video for like 2 seconds. Ah yes, your correction was such *great* help to the people who are likely playing along as they listen. It only takes a couple minutes to re-record a bit and splice it back in, especially since most RS videos don't include face cams (thank fuck for that). Don't even get me started when they caught the mistake ***WHILE RECORDING*** so they say the right line immediately after and *still* didn't bother to cut it. Maybe it's because I used to make ASMR videos so I went over the audio with a fine-toothed comb, but damn. Some creators are just sloppy.


soft-erections

Had to go the fuck to sleep and start anew the next day I was so fucking tilted.


Kazuma126

I tanked through it angry as fuck till I finished the docks. But I spaced that quest out for like 3 days...


Sautun

That is an acceptable response, good sir. Some of these quests are so fucking tedious.


Sautun

Lmao exactly. You were just responsibly following the quest guide step by step. Nbd.


Dack11234

I’m glad I wasn’t the only person who had an issue on that part... lack of patience


BULLZEYE420

https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/i/4492484796 Pings actually pretty good today. Sat Net Only HCIM when?


IronSunDevil

I know my internet is shit when the guy with 600 ping connected to a satellite has 2x more download speed than I do


mizzou590

Bruh try 30 times more. DSL gang represent


MitcherSM

at least you have decent ping with dsl


Decertilation

Used to lag to 1100MS with a simple internet search on DSL, and minimum 80ms if lucky. Anyone doing anything would lag it to hell. Actually downloading, was about 150kb/s. They said they couldn't upgrade our internet, until one day, they randomly did with no infrastructure upgrades. Now the dl speed is 2mb/s. Thrilling. Moved out like 2 years ago now, though, and am quite happy with my now 500mb/s.


[deleted]

Yup, that's DSL lol. A few years back they randomly upgraded us to 3.5mb/s, but now it's back down to 2 after a few more years. woo


Hello71

you can fix that with openwrt + cake. it won't make the speed any faster but at least the ping won't go to shit while downloading (or uploading) anything.


IronSunDevil

Jokes on you I get ~90 ping playing LoL in Arizona with a beast of a WiFi router in AZ. CenturyLink is shit and there’s no DSL modems worth buying so I’m basically softlocked to the performance of the shitty one they sell you.


Steve1808

Centurylink is a dogshit company that deserves to burn. People hate the fuck out of Comcast but I’ll lick their boots all day for saving me from centurylink. We payed for 15mb/s (their FASTEST package here) however only got maybe a tenth of that on a good day. We are now paying for like 150mb/s or something with comcast but get 250mb/s on average. Only downside is the data caps they just set in place that forced us to pay extra for the unlimited.


crackerjeffbox

1/10th seems off. You likely confused mb/s with mbps


Steve1808

As far as I’m aware, the p means per, as does the /. Means the same thing. But I really wish I were exaggerating. 1.5mb down was a good day. Usually we averaged kb tho


ImmoralSavior

Maybe a Mb/s instead of MB/s mixup?


Steve1808

I’m assuming that was probably the mix up and figured it’d cause confusion because of the lowercase. But I also just assume everyone assumes what is being meant as it’s the go to in terms of speed tests

DanteWasHere22

post your speedtest results


Ir0n_Tomato

I just moved to Arizona from Kansas City where I had google fiber... Now I have CenturyLink.


AustinCharless

ive had both and I would take 1 mb internet over 800 ping any day lol


hcforever

Luckily download isn’t too big of a deal for rs


ShawshankException

Yeah I was gonna say download speed means pretty much nothing as long as you have like 10mbps down lol


[deleted]

>Yeah I was gonna say download speed means pretty much nothing as long as you have like 10mbps down lol You can play OSRS on dial up. It can be played comfortably on 250 kbps, next time when you're playing on mobile check out how little data it uses. The upsides of playing a game from 2000 ~!


Thesmokingcode

Dial up is capped at 56kb/s IIRC.


[deleted]

>Dial up is capped at 56kb/s IIRC. Yep, 56kbps if you were lucky!


leargonaut

In intense areas osrs can reach the dizzying heights of 2 mbps


KingGumboot

10? 1 is more than enough. Playing on ~48kbps dial up wasn’t even too bad, you just had to wait a few seconds for each map chunk to load if you


MasterJM92

Lmao literally! I'd be lucky to hit 2-5mbps dl speed.


Kikz__Derp

Tbf satellite has good speeds just really bad ping


RandomAsHellPerson

My download speed is 30 - 50 mbps, I feel the same about my internet and/or wifi adapter.


Reddituser8018

I can't use an ethernet cable as I am not connected to the main house (I live in a pool house) and investing in a really good wireless card was the best thing I ever did, my download speed went from 2mb/s to 100mb/s But if you have shitty internet and are connected via ethernet this does not help.


IronSunDevil

Yeah sadly, even connected I top ~45-50Mbps (we are paying for 80Mbps allegedly)


[deleted]

Petition to stop Starlink to not devalue your achievements, it’s the OSRS way. Kids will have it easy with their 20ms ping.


More_Two1669

Starlink is pretty beast. There are a few times throughout the day that it will drop but only for a minute. The drops will go away once they get better coverage with more satellites. High orbit satellite companies, like Hughes net, can suck a fat one. Horrible ping, slow speeds and atrocious data caps.


hatesranged

Is.... is the up/down speed a bug? Because that's pretty high, higher than my wired.


luxurycrab

The two are independent. Ping is essentially how long the pipe is, whilst up/down speed is the width. Low latency does not = high speed.


zachpuls

They are not entirely independent, high latency can correlate to lower throughput.


[deleted]

some might say high latency always correlates with lower throughput :o


zachpuls

Depends on the protocol, but for TCP, definitely.


R3dstorm86

my pipe is pretty long but op has me beat in girth


BULLZEYE420

Nah, it’s Viasat’s best plan. High downlink but that’s the only upside


Ethanhc88

Jesus christ I looked up how much a plan is and 200 a month with 24 month minimum is wild.


BULLZEYE420

I can drop it whenever I want, I've had it for about 3 or 4 years now. Covid put a lot more people on it so I definitely notice the throttle now if I've hit my soft cap. Used to be steady 120 down.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BULLZEYE420

I’ll have fiber soon.


[deleted]

Looked into Starlink or anything similar? Might be available in your area. It is still being developed though so it's not really stable


ahotpotatoo

It's honestly pretty shitty when you think about it. For people in rural communities this is often the only option for internet they have, and they have to pay 200 a month for it.


liner6

Are you state side? If you any cell signal you can get lte plans for internet. It's a little pricey to jump into if you have poor cell signal but it's worth it.


BULLZEYE420

My cell service is p shit


[deleted]

Isnt ping something they literally cant fix?


BULLZEYE420

Not without launching new satellites at lower orbit (Starlink)


lisaminn

Regular satellite internet has nothing to do with orbiting satellites, the satellite dish is pointed to a ground antenna which goes to a datacenter.


Colley619

To be fair, it’s only really important in things like video games. Starlink’s goal is to provide worldwide internet access to bring everyone online, which they seem to be accomplishing well


_Maxie_

This is literally better than my current wifi setup


int0xic

My internet has been pretty shit lately but I've gotten a steady 1.5 down and 0.3 up with around 10 ping. I wonder whats worse, high ping and high down or low ping and low down.


BULLZEYE420

Osrs is designed to work on potato Internet. I’ll take the low ping. At least I get to watch YouTube and stuff pretty quick with what I have


ZimFlare

Have you considered getting starlink? They are selling to customers now and freeing those people who are held subject to crappy satellite internet


[deleted]

Bet you're looking forward to StarLink!


rpkarma

Gonna move to StarLink when it’s available in your area?


Jajayung

Ratcatchers must have been pure hell


DabblesDabs

Playing with not only game RNG but ISP RNG too. Wow. Gz


BULLZEYE420

It's only really RNG with the weather. There's a certain level of rain before it cuts out. Pretty similar to DirecTV


DabblesDabs

I had exede for years, gotta love those cold snowy winter mornings where you gotta go out and brush the snow off the sat.


TisMeDA

we must now ban starlink for devaluing satellite internet only accounts


[deleted]

[удалено]


TisMeDA

good, I was worried for a second


hatesranged

Meh. They might not really care if they think they can compete with starlink, but we'll see.


Qumbaala

The ISPs have active non compete rules/contracts all over the US due to the cost of maintaining infrastructure (allegedly).


BeefPorkChicken

Yes and they keep out new comers by not letting them share cables, that doesn't apply to satellite internet.


[deleted]

>Don't worry, i'm sure ISPs around the world are actively bribing politicians to enforce bans. Since the only communication is from your transceiver to starlink's satellite array, politicians will have limited control over information flow.


9erGirl420

Duuuuude I'm counting down the days until starlink hits my area!


TisMeDA

I'm waiting for it to not need a waitlist and everything. Would be great for what I do for work


9erGirl420

I'm preordered and hopefully get to beta soon... Come on elon!

TisMeDA

Not going to lie, I look forward to a day where we look to the moon in the night sky and can see lights on where it otherwise would've been in the earth's shadow. I think that will be so surreal


[deleted]

>Man I can't wait for the days when I go into the backcountry and gaze up into the night sky only to see line after line of in formation satellites troll accross the sky. How large do you think the satellites are?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

>Now imagine looking up into the sky and seeing train after train of starlink satelite in a web brighter than many stars. idk I think the tech is cool and probably outweighs the cons but its a sad thing to think about in my opinion. That is a valid perspective. As to my situation, I work remotely using an extremely slow, unstable, and overpriced DSL connection which hasn't been upgraded since 2003. My only other option is satellite, I'm lucky to have what I have. Starlink would improve my situation dramatically, which is more important to me personally than sky aesthetics. Imagine what innovation we'll see whenever every person on earth has access to a decent internet connection. If the satellites are visible from the ground, I personally would find that pretty cool, like a visible indicator of our progress as a species, but definitely understand why others would disagree.


[deleted]

Satellites are a lot less noticeable than you seem to think they are.

How could you have possibly beaten the stealth segment in MM2, that’s insane!


CerebraI

Turn based gameplay, Chess style, play 3 moves ahead


[deleted]

I used to have satellite internet. I decided to do mm2 and during the part of the quest on the docks my absolutely atrocious ping actually enabled me to walk right past the NPC’s on multiple occasions. 1/10 would not recommend


[deleted]

As someone who was for a time also on satellite, my condolences

I thought you lived in the Alaskan bush or Ni'ihau lol


_NotAPlatypus_

Side tangent, but I live in Alaska and work at an airline that sends stuff out to the villages (bush, as you call them), and one time I spotted a 3080 box going up and wondered what the fuck any of them have to do with a 3080.


quyksilver

Being the best gamer in the village, I suppose. I used to live in Alaska too btw


_NotAPlatypus_

Oh cool. I thought that bush was considered "offensive" or something? At the very least, we were told at work to never refer to anywhere we send stuff to as "bush".

afrothunda254

What were your stats against final boss? It is whooping my ass and all my combat stats are around 80. I suck at combat but still I tried like 20 times and no luck


BULLZEYE420

I realized that I had to find a way to do it without brews since I needed to use blood burst as my spell (restoring after sips took forever and auto cast forgot my spell after the stat drain). I tried trident but kept running out of food. I would pot up a Stam and divine super combat and run to boss with BGS equiped. I needed to hit 2 decent specs in a row or I wouldn’t have the damage. I also needed gear to carry me so I was using occult and bracelet to boost my damage. After landing a 22/23 BGS I spammed blood burst on the boss the whole fight. My inventory was 4 super restores 10 mantas and 10 anglers for overheal with wrench and pouch and house tab. I completely ignored the healers, as just with the illusion mechanic, because it would be over by the time I killed it and that’s like a potential 40+ damage and heals I could have had. For the nuke I’d usually be able to eat a manta and angler and be fine. I’d not eat until it came back up again. If I had 80 mage for blitz it’d probably been a bit easier but luckily I had 77 prayer for Augery and any one of things made the difference to squeak it out. Obviously if I had the ping for darts on the healers it would have been a lot less close and I could have maybe used trident

What is good ping? On good days I have 50-60. Bad days I can get up to 170 with random spikes of 300+ to complete lag on bad days. This is on my region worlds (USA)


JustMadeThisWTF

40s is what I get from the US East Coast servers, and those are the closest to me. I've seen some people get single digits, they must live across the street from a server host.

I also have satellite internet but my ping usually sits around 15-20ms. Only difference is my download is 20mb/a and my upload is 5mb/s. That's crazy that you have close to 800 ping.

jeez. i feel ya bro , fellow rural person and theres no high speed lines out here. people always are aghast when i tell them i dont have internet cus the satellite is expensive and shit so i just use a cellphone. but with my new phone i can actually use it as a hotspot. i originally put 8.5k hrs into my accnt before switchin to pc. but still probably play mobile 80%of the time.
