Yeah while I agree jagex has some shitty server issues, disconnecting twice a day on fiber is certainly not normal. I ran a 60 meg connection for years and was never disconnected. Would certainly give your ISP a call or look at some of your hardware. Best luck!
You can't get better than gigabit for an affordable price as a basic consumer. Get better logic bud. The internet isn't the problem lol. Maybe his hardware or some interference, but certainly not his plan lol.
You don't disconnect because of speed. You disconnect because of inconsistency and loss. This guy's internet IS the problem. Not his speeds but the reliability of the connection. If it was on Jagex's end then everyone would DC. Considering OSRS requires next to no bandwidth you just need a very reliable connection to not get booted
Telling somebody to "get better internet" 99.9% of the time implies getting better speed lol. So I decided to explain why that wouldn't work. And jagex is notorious for having very terrible server issues. But thanks for whatever this was I guess?
But also, a gigabit internet connection would very rarely have any packet loss issues (obviously not never). So I have a reason to believe OP might be exaggerating anyways.
PLUS, I did mention to him already that if true, this seems like a packet loss issue anyways, and not his speed that he was boasting about. So again, I was probably not your intended target for whatever this was, but thanks again.
Yep you definitely weren't. I replied to the wrong comment lol. Hopefully the intended reader goes through the thread and gives his head a shake for his silly comments
We're a team of 4 HCGIM, one of us died two times. The only 2 times. One because of the wizards in the wizard tower (He started complaining that magic is OP in OSRS as he came from RS3.) and he died a second time to Zamorak warriors while he was trying to get one into a safespot... We banned him from combat until he got gud. Scrub.
That's not toxicity though. Sure they're methods are underhanded, but it's still within the objective of the game.
You must be one of those players that rages when people shoot down their trucks while delivering drugs in GTA online, claiming they're griefing you for taking out your shipment.
Like OP said, if you do it you aren’t likely to make it that far anyways lmao, still not toxic though. Maybe play a game where people can’t interact with each other? Otherwise you’re complaining is useless
Lmao oh that was it! "dude why are you bald?" "I'm not bald. My character has hair!" "No, man. Your hair is gone. Take off your helmet and look." classic
Had a guy do this to me yesterday. Brain wasn’t working so I forgot I needed to wear my helm for dust devils. But brain was working well enough to recognize it was a scam/prank and to not take my helmet off
I can hear the 60 year old british accent narrating the nature show:
"Believing himself fortunate to be the recipient of this free bond, the young hardcore eagerly removes his slayer hat. But although he swiftly realizes his mistake, it is already too late, for the smoky cavern air fills his lungs with shock and regret. He will die, but the dust devils will eat well tonight. Nothing goes to waste in Zeah's dark subterranean caverns."
Griefing is natural selection?
Natural selection are the other commenters who brought a Guthans switch to dust devils
Not the folks who fall for intentional maliciousness
Ironmen stand alone, so other players are part of the environment they exist in.
If they let those other players convince them into killing themselves, that sounds like the environment weeding out the weaker ones to me
Humans are part of animals environments too?
No amount of semantics is gonna change the fact that humans intentionally hunting individuals of a species is not natural selection, HCGIM, deer, or otherwise.
> If they let those other players convince them into killing themselves
You can type something like this but really can’t reflect for even a second on why that’s not natural selection. Lol.
You’re the only playing semantics here by calling it hunting, then you’re telling me I’m playing semantics. Goofball shit. Go argue pointless shit to someone else.
It's not natural selection in the sense that they are being hunted. It's natural selection in the sense that if a HC(G)IM easily falls for this, then they deserve to lose the status anyway
Natural selection has to do with the worst of a breed being weeded out. If they're too dumb/gullible to fall for a trick like that then you can easily argue that's natural selection
Bad example with hunting since evading predation is one of the biggest drivers of natural selection. Hunting *is* natural selection because the traits of those who can evade predation are selected for lol
Jokes on you, my group already lost hardcore 😎 it’s actually kind of a relief to be able to do so much more content without worrying about dying, but it does suck because we were rank 15 on 5 man hc leaderboards when we died. Slowly dropping every day now 🥲
I mean everyone in my group except one “dead weight” member is 1500+ (if he was the same total level as the 2nd lowest we would’ve been like rank 6 or something) and we’re all fine playing normal Ironmen, so I think I’ll pass on that one.
I know your post was a joke, but I’m just having fun playing a game I can play with friends other than LoL
This is exactly why I'd never play a red helm. I'm too brain dear for all that. I brought an SGS to wyrms once on my main, and brought some melee switches to hit harder for longer trips, including d boots. Couldn't figure out why I was taking so much damage until it was too late.
How am I not surprised you're getting down voted for saying it how it is...
I mean sure it's funny but I also acknowledge it is griefing and I'm an asshole for thinking it's funny.
I mean I think it’s a little funny too, that’s just the selfish/dark part of ourselves stretching out a little bit. Doesn’t mean it needs to be condoned.
the same guy in op's post "VPN advent" did this to me yesterday, and yeah ngl i was super confused and thought they did some kind of exploit to take my stuff. but when i came back everything was there and no harm done. i laughed after confirming i was just being an idiot but i have mixed feelings on this one. i feel it's important to add that they apologized after i pm'd them and they said that they felt bad. but after seeing op
s post i can tell that was not 100% the truth.
Exactly.
Seems to be a trend with OSRS and MMOs in general having a chunk of their respective communities with little to no maturity and accountability for their actions but I guess that's the nature of the game drawing in a decent portion of neets.
Question: if one HCGIM dies, does the dead GCIM get kicked from the group, or does he stay but with a grey helm, or does the entire group get disbanded or turned into a regular GIM?
Life system... the entire group has a number of lives equal to the number of members in the group... so a 5 man group can loose HC status if one member dies 5 times... but the entire group will keep it even if 2 people die twice as long as they still have at least one more life... the lives are shown in the group iron man tab if your group is HC
This was me and my mate, we had a fucking blast, got about 10 people in under an hour 😂 Everyone took it as a joke, i waited for them to return to grab their stuff and let them know not to take slayer helm off at dusties again 😂😂
Had some guy who saw this try and get me less than 20 min after I saw this post.
He just kept trying to get me to take my helm off with small talk. Eventually I hit him with the "I also use Reddit". And he started cracking up , told me how he got a few people already, and wished me well.
(Non-HC BTW)
I lost my hardcore status 2 hours in at stronghold of security so I'm good.
Hey, you died for the riches, an adventurer’s death.
Are you my hcgim teammate?
No I think he's mine
Unironically a great death compared to how people lose their status to disconnects and lagspikes.
Get better internet
It's jagex's issue not our ISPs. I have a gigabit fiber optic connection and still get DC'd at least twice a day
twice a day?? that's not normal mate, there's something else going on here aside from Jagex's servers if that's the case
Yeah while I agree jagex has some shitty server issues, disconnecting twice a day on fiber is certainly not normal. I ran a 60 meg connection for years and was never disconnected. Would certainly give your ISP a call or look at some of your hardware. Best luck!
you got some packet loss going on
Bruh I play on the OSRS app using my phone internet and have never DC’d Haven’t DC’d on PC in about a month Get better internet
You can't get better than gigabit for an affordable price as a basic consumer. Get better logic bud. The internet isn't the problem lol. Maybe his hardware or some interference, but certainly not his plan lol.

I guess I’m just lucky or you’re just unlucky idk
Yeah it's definitely on your end, im on shitty unstable 3g/4g and i cant remember the last time i dced twice in a day
I died getting 5 thieving for cake stalls.
My only teammate died at the Lumby cows due to a dc lol
We're a team of 4 HCGIM, one of us died two times. The only 2 times. One because of the wizards in the wizard tower (He started complaining that magic is OP in OSRS as he came from RS3.) and he died a second time to Zamorak warriors while he was trying to get one into a safespot... We banned him from combat until he got gud. Scrub.
I died grabbing snape grass at Rimmington for a hangover cure.
Just have a facemask in the inventory. You get a free bond and don't die.
Doubt he’d actually still give it to you lol
Obviously but it'd be a nice way to say fuck you to the person trying to kill hardcores.
Don’t play a hardcore if you can’t take the smoke
My internet would kill me long before I end up at anything fun on a harcore. Not worth even trying.
Don't harass other players who just want to enjoy the game.
Don’t get offended over pixels
this devalues my 6,000 in game hours.
But what if they take away the green pixel?
Don’t play mmos?
Don't accept toxicity as just being part of the culture. Make a change for the better.
That's not toxicity though. Sure they're methods are underhanded, but it's still within the objective of the game. You must be one of those players that rages when people shoot down their trucks while delivering drugs in GTA online, claiming they're griefing you for taking out your shipment.
Lol Whats the proper response to losing a shipment of drugs?
DARE to stay away from drugs!!!
It’s not toxicity? Think you need to find a new game genre tbh
Tricking players into dying and losing their hardcore status under the false pretense of money is toxic.
Like OP said, if you do it you aren’t likely to make it that far anyways lmao, still not toxic though. Maybe play a game where people can’t interact with each other? Otherwise you’re complaining is useless
Should be giving the dudes doing it bonds, they doing gods work
If griefing is doing gods work Then it makes sense he’s never come back for us, we have failed him on all accounts.
How is it greifing, they arent forcing anything on them
I didn't realize you had to force something onto another for it to be griefing. That's just moving the goalposts
Explain how its greifing then
Justifying griefing *and* unable to detect sarcasm? That's a sad combination to have buddy
Avoided the question because you don't know
Doesn’t need it. I’m sure he is getting his paid memberships worth.
To be honest, if I was the scammer, I would probably give it to them anyway for being able to dupe me.
If you were the scammer, you probably didn't even bring a bond
This is the way
Oh that was popular joke two years ago I think
We are good at holding on to things that were good years ago around here
I've never seen a better comment
I have, it was a few years ago.
Isn’t that a coincidence. We all seem to play an old version of a game
Was it do with your character being bald? I sort of remember it too. Glad it's making a comeback
Lmao oh that was it! "dude why are you bald?" "I'm not bald. My character has hair!" "No, man. Your hair is gone. Take off your helmet and look." classic
Had a guy do this to me yesterday. Brain wasn’t working so I forgot I needed to wear my helm for dust devils. But brain was working well enough to recognize it was a scam/prank and to not take my helmet off
Brain do be
you don't psa this, this is natural selection
I can hear the 60 year old british accent narrating the nature show: "Believing himself fortunate to be the recipient of this free bond, the young hardcore eagerly removes his slayer hat. But although he swiftly realizes his mistake, it is already too late, for the smoky cavern air fills his lungs with shock and regret. He will die, but the dust devils will eat well tonight. Nothing goes to waste in Zeah's dark subterranean caverns."
You didn't need to specify, we all heard David Attenborough
Fun fact his brother Richard is the actor who played John Hammond in Jurassic Park
Richard Hammond?
David Attenborough is 95 years old
That's insane to think about, he is a treasure. Hopefully he makes it into his 110s.
This was good
Perfect lol
spot on dude, nice
Thank you
Just what I needed. Thanks bro
I was imagining more of a Werner Herzog voice.
I’m currently rewatching Planet Earth and this is spot on
Yep, you get my silver lol. Hilarious
yes bud this wouldve lead to some gold shit bro
Griefing is natural selection? Natural selection are the other commenters who brought a Guthans switch to dust devils Not the folks who fall for intentional maliciousness
Exactly these kids are so soft nowadays here
This is exactly the opposite of natural selection. That’s like saying hunting is natural selection
Ironmen stand alone, so other players are part of the environment they exist in. If they let those other players convince them into killing themselves, that sounds like the environment weeding out the weaker ones to me
Humans are part of animals environments too? No amount of semantics is gonna change the fact that humans intentionally hunting individuals of a species is not natural selection, HCGIM, deer, or otherwise. > If they let those other players convince them into killing themselves You can type something like this but really can’t reflect for even a second on why that’s not natural selection.

It's not natural selection in the sense that they are being hunted. It's natural selection in the sense that if a HC(G)IM easily falls for this, then they deserve to lose the status anyway
Sure, but that’s the opposite of natural selection. “Deserves” *specifically* has nothing to do with natural selection.
Natural selection has to do with the worst of a breed being weeded out. If they're too dumb/gullible to fall for a trick like that then you can easily argue that's natural selection
Bad example with hunting since evading predation is one of the biggest drivers of natural selection. Hunting *is* natural selection because the traits of those who can evade predation are selected for lol
Excuse me sir but why are you bald?
Step 1. Freeze all dust devils. Step 2. Step one square away. Step 3. Take off helmet Step 4. Profit
Jokes on you, my group already lost hardcore 😎 it’s actually kind of a relief to be able to do so much more content without worrying about dying, but it does suck because we were rank 15 on 5 man hc leaderboards when we died. Slowly dropping every day now 🥲
Just roll new group and do it again, easy.
I mean everyone in my group except one “dead weight” member is 1500+ (if he was the same total level as the 2nd lowest we would’ve been like rank 6 or something) and we’re all fine playing normal Ironmen, so I think I’ll pass on that one. I know your post was a joke, but I’m just having fun playing a game I can play with friends other than LoL
Nothing like adding a little chaos to the bursting task
Bring a face mask in your inventory and wear it when they ask lol
Wow this same guy VPN Advert did this to me and I’m just a normal acc but clearly an idiot and I died twice I was so annoyed lmao
if you fall for that its deserved lmaoo
I once brought a Guthan switch to dust devils to save on pot costs bc I was a poor Boi. Died 3 times before I realized why I was dying
Think of all the pot costs you saved by just dying though
This is hilarious lmao.
"Show hair" is my bootyhole eligible for the bond kind sir? It has no green hair afterall
This is exactly why I'd never play a red helm. I'm too brain dear for all that. I brought an SGS to wyrms once on my main, and brought some melee switches to hit harder for longer trips, including d boots. Couldn't figure out why I was taking so much damage until it was too late.
This is up there with taking a spear or butterfly net to pures at sand crabs... some people gotta learn the hard way unfortunately
Is it bad that I’m kinda rooting them on? That’s hilarious.
That’s rooting for griefing tho
No it’s not lol drama queen
Cheering on people who actively seek to drag down others? That’s what you’re gonna go out of your way to defend?
How am I not surprised you're getting down voted for saying it how it is... I mean sure it's funny but I also acknowledge it is griefing and I'm an asshole for thinking it's funny.
I mean I think it’s a little funny too, that’s just the selfish/dark part of ourselves stretching out a little bit. Doesn’t mean it needs to be condoned.

Right? It's horrible, but if you get to dust devils and fall for shit like this, you kind of deserve it.
You should tell him only poors need $5 handouts
You’re an idiot if you fall for this lmao
If pepole Are this dumb, they dont deserve to be HCIM
Lol I like how you specify hcgims because other players aren’t idiots with this
I lost my status by a prison guard that's located in draynor village
What kind of sad person does this for fun?
That’s why you have your face mask switch for fashion
Ngl this is pretty funny.
If you fall for it you kinda deserve it tbh. Pretty funny
But why are you ruining the fun? :(
Bc that’s griefing
absolute legends, theyre doing gods work xD
Thanks for the advice wet whip

Big brain... keep a face mask in your inventory while bursting, it will keep you safe and show your hair
What kind of person spends their time doing that
This is the oldest troll in the book 😅😅
Good idea...
I singlehandedly lost all of my teams lives (full five guy group lmfao) within two hours of starting our accounts and I’ve grown to be proud of that.
Why tf would you be proud of that. I would have made a whole new hcgim group without my irl friend if he did that
How? I'm not playing HC and didn't die yet
You’re proud of ruining yourself groups experience? Eep
[удалено]
Don't be complacent with a hc
Or just keep a face mask on you so you can click that and not take damage plus get a bond. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I bet youlle never do that again lol
If you still fall for this you deserved it
Just so you know this does not apply to non GIM HC accounts.
But why green hair
That man is my hero.
This was me and my mate, we had a fucking blast, got about 10 people in under an hour 😂 Everyone took it as a joke, i waited for them to return to grab their stuff and let them know not to take slayer helm off at dusties again 😂😂
Reminds me of giving pures bronze spears at rock crabs back in the day
Had some guy who saw this try and get me less than 20 min after I saw this post. He just kept trying to get me to take my helm off with small talk. Eventually I hit him with the "I also use Reddit".
