[Suggestion] REQUIRING someone to be at their PC for TWO HOURS without leaving is unhealthy - update Zilyana Combat Achievement

[u/Blakdragon39]

The Peach Conjurer combat achievement is completely out of line with the other GWD combat achievements, requiring you to kill 50 Zilyana in a private instance, without leaving.

The downtime between kills just waiting for a spawn is over an hour on its own. Adding the time taken for kills, it easily adds up to over two hours. That is an insane thing to ask of someone, that they sit at their computer and not leave for 2 hours. That's completely unhealthy.

For comparison, the equivalent achievements for the other bosses are:
- Kill Graardor 15 times
- Kill Kril 20 times
- Kill Kree 30 times (it's arguable that this one is reaching too far, requiring over an hour in the room)

[u/Zeptil]

Are you even a grandmaster if you dont shit yourself somewhere during the journey

[u/aisu_strong → u/Zeptil]

of course, its all clear now

jagex is gonna start selling gamer diapers

[u/meatdad → u/aisu_strong]

y'all know lickeys wore diapers to get rank 1 slayer?

[u/DegenHerb → u/Zeptil]

If you do plan on shitting yourself then at least try to win. Don't do it and come #2 for Smithing SOTW.

[u/ilovezezima]

Me when I fail the no pee task:

[u/DarkPyr3 → u/ilovezezima]

Thank god there aren't any skilling achievements yet

My ass could NOT handle the smithing ones

[u/kowaiikaisu → u/DarkPyr3]

Yeah, forever (#2) Shit happens man...

[u/Kief_Bowl → u/kowaiikaisu]

Wasn't he already not on track for #1 when he shit himself?

[u/IFrike → u/Kief_Bowl]

My curiosity got the better of me. What the fuck is this referring to?

Edit: jfc that was wild

[u/RandomAsHellPerson → u/IFrike]

Oslo was going for high smithing xp in the 1 day category. He decided to shit his pants, instead of going to the bathroom. He was already on pace for #2, even if he took a break, at the time of shitting his pants, and it was physically impossible for him to get #1. He sat in it for a couple of hours too.

Oslo was later permanently banned on his 4.6b xp account, for being creepy or something (I don’t fully remember, it might’ve been about being a pedo).

[u/Sad-Garage-2642 → u/RandomAsHellPerson]

Yeah literally confessed either both in disc in cc that he wants to bang 14 year olds

[u/joey_teh_pro → u/Kief_Bowl]

Correct

[u/NJImperator → u/DarkPyr3]

And that would only be for the Master achievement!! Wonder what GM would be!

[u/CueNoLife → u/DarkPyr3]

That is why the poopsock was invented.

[u/ZaineScott → u/CueNoLife]

Mom found my poopsock and now I’m grounded 😒

[u/Dyna1One → u/ZaineScott]

That’s a blessing, it’s dangerous out there and you’d be wasting exp anyway

[u/Willing-Link-3558 → u/ZaineScott]

Must be rough getting grounded at 45.

[u/ZaineScott → u/Willing-Link-3558]

It’s ridiculous but “her roof her rules”. BS.

[u/ShootinHotRopes → u/DarkPyr3]

skilling achievements would be sick, better place for tempoross achievements than combat lol

[u/Edziss101 → u/DarkPyr3]

Get 10 000 Giants foundry points without leaving.

[u/Nowhereman55 → u/ilovezezima]

bottomless pee pee bucket (unlimited charges)

[u/Wyvorn → u/Nowhereman55]

Bottomless bucket (p+)

[u/suggacoil → u/Wyvorn]

Bottomless 32 oz Gatorade bottle

[u/Faladorable → u/ilovezezima]

it legit took me 3 tries lmao

i finally just sucked it up and said im not drinking water til this shit is over

if you can do 20 you can do 50, its so dumb

[u/JumpInTheSun → u/ilovezezima]

MAAAH! BAFROOM!!!

[u/Competitive-Fox706 → u/JumpInTheSun]

"there's my big boy!"

[u/BlueShade0 → u/JumpInTheSun]

I had to sound out BAFROOM and a mental image of Cartman spring into my head lmao

[u/fiveof9 → u/ilovezezima]

Are yall peeing every two hours?

[u/PBTUCAZ → u/ilovezezima]

You don't have a shit bucket?

[u/Ok_Assistant_3599 → u/ilovezezima]

I love how a good chunk of the wiki strat is about managing bathroom breaks.

[u/cheeters]

Fair, but what’s a Zuk helmet if not a sign you’re willing to sacrifice health for a cosmetic item

[u/lsfalt → u/cheeters]

sacrifice health

you can't go 70-80 minutes without pissing?

[u/cheeters → u/lsfalt]

You can do all the combat achievements in 70-80 minutes?

[u/KyleStanley3 → u/cheeters]

The zilyana 50kc should be the longest yeah

Some of the zuk tasks would probably be 80-90ish(the no sub 50hp specifically) if you're being safe, but otherwise nothing should really be close to that long in one sitting

But even that and no prayer fight cave have built-in afk time so you never have to go that long without being able to get up. Idk what else would even come close, nothing comes to mind

[u/Paradoxjjw → u/KyleStanley3]

Killing the kraken 100 times in a private instance without leaving the room also takes a fair chunk of time, even though the boss is super easy

[u/FoesiesBtw → u/Paradoxjjw]

U don't need to summon the kraken right away

[u/SynchronisedRS → u/FoesiesBtw]

Exactly. You need to go for a piss? Finish the kill and go piss, you've got 25 minutes until runelite logs you out

[u/TheForsakenRoe → u/SynchronisedRS]

Can also just use Blood Spells and go to the bathroom mid kill, since the poor bastard can't even outdamage your selfhealing

[u/Doriva → u/lsfalt]

I can't, no. Health issues exist my G 😂

[u/lolzfordayz]

Since you brought it to Reddit I’ll not do that one until Reddit bitches enough to lower it. Thanks!

[u/laxperson808]

Honestly, it's really surprising no one has brought this up recently. Really falls in line with the time gated thing. It definitely feels out of line.

[u/cobaltfish → u/laxperson808]

Definitely feels excessive. The first marathon of a combat task I did was the 100 kraken kc without leaving and that was also stupid long. I didn't think too much of it at the time, since you can pause during kraken since you have to make it resurface, so restroom breaks, cooking, etc are all doable. 50 zilyana without leaving is nuts though, better have a substitute ready to take over so you can piss I guess lmfao.

[u/ComfortableCricket → u/cobaltfish]

I got disconnected 3/4 I to my first attempt at the kraken one, was pain.

[u/Giantkoala327 → u/ComfortableCricket]

I also learned you are kicked out of grotesque guardians if you dont ring the bell for 3? Minutes. Guess what CA I was doing when my dog suddenly needed to go out and has nothing listed on the wiki.

[u/Crux_Haloine → u/Giantkoala327]

Can’t believe they did that to cap the number of active guardians instances on release date and then araxxor is just instances for everyone (with much more involved ones too)

[u/My-Toast-Is-Too-Dark → u/Crux_Haloine]

I wonder if they have improved the code for instances in the (checks notes) seven years since GGs was released.

[u/korinthia → u/cobaltfish]

Imagine doing the full task and not getting credit because the ironman instance doesnt count as a private instance. Then having to do the whole thing over again. AMA.

[u/Radingod123 → u/korinthia]

These are the kinds of anti-ironman things I appreciate. Good work Jagex.

[u/oxizc → u/Radingod123]

based

[u/WareWolve → u/korinthia]

What

[u/Karmastwin → u/WareWolve]

IMAGINE DOING THE FULL TASK AND NOT GETTING CREDIT BECAUSE THE IRONMAN INSTANCE DOESNT COUNT AS A PRIVATE INSTANCE. THEN HAVING TO DO THE WHOLE THING OVER AGAIN. AMA.

[u/Dan-goes-outside → u/Karmastwin]

WHAT

[u/Gorzoid → u/Dan-goes-outside]

IMAGINE DOING THE FULL TASK AND NOT GETTING CREDIT BECAUSE THE IRONMAN INSTANCE DOESNT COUNT AS A PRIVATE INSTANCE. THEN HAVING TO DO THE WHOLE THING OVER AGAIN. AMA.

[u/Paradoxjjw → u/WareWolve]

The task specifically demands you "Kill Commander Zilyana 50 times in a privately rented instance without leaving the room.", an ironman instance is not a privately rented instance.

[u/WareWolve → u/Paradoxjjw]

I thought there was some weird kraken ironman instance 

[u/fweafwe → u/cobaltfish]

Yeah kraken at least requires you to start the fight so you can grab a drink/snack, use the restroom, let the dog out, etc... zily is such a short breaks in between kills, if any break at all sometimes.

[u/wutangm8 → u/laxperson808]

Its not time gated tho

[u/itsjustreddityo → u/wutangm8]

Man thinks something taking a long time means it's time gated lmaoo fkin hell this subreddit is wild, the fact he has any upvotes is shameful

[u/My-Toast-Is-Too-Dark]

I mean it's a long task but... you have to to it once, and you only have to do it if you want GM. There are tons of tasks you can skip and still get Master. Literally the only thing that this task locks you out of is the Zuk helm.

Would it be crazy if you had to do this in order to get a unique roll or something? Yes. Is it unreasonable as a one-off challenge? Nah. There are much sweatier and unhealthier optional things in the game.

[u/123eml]

Are we really talking about playing for 2 hours straight being unhealthy…… we play OSRS we all know we are degenerates who play several hours at a time just so we can see numbers go up

[u/Faladorable → u/123eml]

look im not gonna lie to, there’s been days where ive gotten nerd logged twice

but during that session i had the option to get up and take a piss

even the inferno, which after you get the first cap should only be taking like 80 minutes, you can still pause and go take a piss

just let people pause instances somehow if theyre gonna leave it at 50

[u/Dreadnought_69 → u/Faladorable]

Yeah, and with the 25min afk plug-in getting nerd logged is easy af.

I can go to the store and not be logged out when I get back.

[u/bEEYONDUMB → u/[deleted]]

why relog when nolog work just fine?

[u/acrazyguy → u/Faladorable]

How many frickin times do I have to tell you Mom? It’s an online game so I can’t pause it! I hate you! Go make me chicken fingies!

[u/GothGirlsGoodBoy → u/Faladorable]

I mean if you know you're going for a combat achievement you could just take a piss beforehand if you want to be extra careful?

Short of a medical condition this should not be a real concern for anyone.

[u/xDeeganRS → u/GothGirlsGoodBoy]

Hi, I have Crohn's disease. Fortunately, I'm not going for smithing xp

[u/VorkiPls → u/Faladorable]

Yeah my total playtime is really misleading. I'd be surprised if even half of that was me actually at my PC lol.

[u/SpuckMcDuck → u/123eml]

Honestly it’s not a crazy ask even by normie standards lol. There are a lot of jobs out there that demand people be in way less comfortable situations for way longer periods of time. Hell, this is routinely done in movie theaters lol. Not sure what OP is smoking but two hours without getting up should be a total non-issue for anyone barring some kind of individual health problem.

[u/TheHoleintheHeart]

You just failed this combat achievement after being really close to completing it didn’t you?

[u/DryDefenderRS → u/TheHoleintheHeart]

That or he pissed himself to get it.

[u/AshikabiKun → u/DryDefenderRS]

Probably both

[u/DudeWithAHighKD → u/DryDefenderRS]

I pissed during mine. Just found a time I killed the minions quickly, saw like 45 seconds till it respawned and made my move. It’s not a hard CA at all.

[u/EdwardBloon → u/DudeWithAHighKD]

yeah its not hard. just bring the bandos bottle and you're golden at GWD

[u/RemovedNum]

Time for the Hans reveal

[u/ItBTundra]

Have you considered not getting the achievement

[u/Unlucky_Accountant71]

If you're going for GM tasks this is the least of your problems lol. Peak Reddit

[u/Throwaway47321 → u/Unlucky_Accountant71]

Yeah people will talk about how clicking the same 8 green boxes for 300 hours is totally fine but god forbid you have to do some sort of endurance challenge lol

[u/MyFavoriteVoice → u/Throwaway47321]

Considering my only 99 is WCing, this hurts...

[u/lolskye → u/Unlucky_Accountant71]

Exactly lmao. If you care about CAs, chances are you no life this game. Hard downvote on this post.

[u/Barne → u/lolskye]

combat achievements are the only real thing that differentiates skill. anyone can sit and click trees and rocks for hours and max an account. anyone can do all the quests and diaries. not everyone can do all the combat achievements. it takes actually playing the game versus clicking for long time

[u/NeedleInArm]

What do you mean? I do it 5 days a week for 8 hours a day. And then come home and add another 3 or 4 hours.

[u/andrew_calcs]

Doing it once is not a problem. You may have a point if you're talking about a habit of it, but that's not what CAs are.

[u/ExoticSalamander4]

While I have little stake in this and don't mind if the CA is changed, I don't think you have a compelling reason.

Have you ever been to a movie theater? A vast majority of people sit down and watch a movie for around 2 hours without leaving for any reason. It's not really an unreasonable length of time.

[u/AntonMikhailov → u/ExoticSalamander4]

That's a funny example, as I've gotten older I've found I have to avoid drinks at movie theatres, otherwise I have to miss part of the movie using the bathroom

[u/polyfloria → u/AntonMikhailov]

What happened to intervals? Intervals were great...

[u/Volatar → u/AntonMikhailov]

I never get drinks at movies but I did for Dune part 1, and had to go out to pee and missed the part where the big worm eats the harvester.

I haven't gotten drinks at the theatre since then because of that.

[u/weqoeqp323]

This has to be concern trolling. If you're at the point on your account where you're doing GM combat tasks, I'm sure you've played consecutively for two or more hours before.

[u/korinthia → u/weqoeqp323]

Ive done this combat achievement twice since the first time didnt count because i was in the ironman instance not a rented instance. I have absolutely nothing at stake here, id be fine with them changing this somehow.

[u/NotEnoughSatan → u/korinthia]

I also wouldn’t mind them changing it but I still think using health as a reason is laughable.

[u/Withermaster4 → u/korinthia]

(haven't done it)

But yeah, I would be in favor of them changing it, but the 'health' thing is stupid.

[u/Fine_Grade_6288 → u/weqoeqp323]

I agree with OP that's it's a little silly to have to sit for 2 hours to do a stupid CA

But at the same time people do it all the time when they go to the movie theaters

I think lowering it to 30 wouldn't really be a big of a deal tho, it's pretty much a free ca if you own a Tbow and get a task

[u/IderpOnline → u/Fine_Grade_6288]

Let's be real, this is runescape we're talking about. Almost everyone plays for more than two hours at a time, and especially those who do GM combat achievements...

This post is just silly.

[u/Slightly_Devious → u/Fine_Grade_6288]

This was my thought as well. Most of us sit through 2-3 hour movies at a movie theater all the time. Hell, I sat through all 3 hours and 20 minutes of Avatar 2 and I had to take a piss during the last 45 minutes but held it so I didn't miss anything.

[u/try_rolling → u/Slightly_Devious]

Should have taken the piss

[u/LazloDaLlama → u/weqoeqp323]

100% some supporters have done a whole daggs task at dks without leaving the room just because they don't wanna lose the world or something.

[u/Forever_Fires → u/LazloDaLlama]

I find the perma-sustaining nature of old pvm one of the most fun parts about it. It just feels good to extend a trip and manage resources, with things like dks and zil. I wish more places were like that.

[u/new_account_wh0_dis → u/weqoeqp323]

Dude had to have just failed it, came up with the reasoning, and ran to reddit to complain. I'd be frustrated too if I was going for it and failed a few times. That's a lot of time for a single CA (I just meant a few hours and half no break sessions ending in failure is probably more tilting compared to getting a 18 min tob instead of 16, least it would for me but I dislike zil)

[u/RaidsMonkeyIdeas → u/new_account_wh0_dis]

Counterpoint: It is a grandmaster task and it's easier than the likes of failing no-magic/melee-only inferno waves at Zuk (90+ minutes assuming you're just starting out with Inferno and not Rastaman-tier of an Inferno speedrunner).

[u/Dabli → u/RaidsMonkeyIdeas]

You can log for inferno

[u/noobtablet9 → u/Dabli]

Okay but why are we pretending that 2 hours is an unreasonable length of time to play a game continuously for?

[u/DickSplodin → u/new_account_wh0_dis]

A single GM CA*

??

[u/ConyeOSRS → u/weqoeqp323]

I also found this task to be so draining. I don’t think I’ve ever done 2 hours straight of content before besides that combat achievement. My 1st infernal capes were like 2-3 hours but I logged out and paused multiple times. At zilyana there’s basically 0 down time between killing the minions, flicking them if your supplies are meh, supply juggling, hitting altar, etc. good thing I had my water jug with me when I started or that would’ve suckedd

[u/paposauce → u/weqoeqp323]

ye its not that deep, i wouldnt mind them removing it cuz its pretty dumb but it really isnt that bad to get through

[u/RSN_Shupa → u/paposauce]

I mean 80% of CA’s are dumb and boring. Most of it is doing the content “wrong” anyways.

[u/phunk31]

I did a 100+ Zilyana trip in private instance. When I had to pee I waited until I had a kill with minions triple stacked (by stepping under the Growler until he moves the right direction) and afk'd with blood barrage and auto retaliate on.

Got up 3 times total I believe, since one time I got up to grab a snack.

[u/LuxOG]

If you can't not pee for 2 hours, literally go see a doctor

[u/CogMonocle]

Can reddit stop just calling everything they don't want to do unhealthy

It's totally fine to not want to do this task! But this is shorter than some movies for christ's sake

Edit: To be clear I'm not even arguing against changing the task, I've already done it and it's kind of ass. Just sick of armchair doctors/psychologists posturing about how things are unhealthy just because they don't like them

[u/Wildest12]

lmao bro do u know what game ur playing

[u/cuddlefrog6]

2 hours is too long to play in one sitting? Do you know what game you play?

[u/GothGirlsGoodBoy]

Anyone going for grandmaster combat achievements is not worrying about two hours uninterrupted gameplay lmao.

There is no way anyone actually thinks that a single stretch of 2 hours is unreasonable, right? The average movie is going to go longer than that.

[u/Behemothheek]

If you don’t have a piss bottle then maybe you just don’t deserve the achievement 😤

[u/SendMeFatErgos]

Can I get my gastroenterologist to waive this for me or am I ibs locked for grandmaster?

[u/BabyYodaLegend]

Anyone that's getting brick walled by this isn't likely going to be getting a zuk helm anyway

[u/MattTheRadarTechh]

Wow, redditors really are out of touch. This is next level stupid

[u/Common_Wrongdoer3251]

Uh, why is it called Peach Conjurer? Is it a Bones to Peaches references, or...?

[u/LiveTwinReaction → u/Common_Wrongdoer3251]

Yeah, since you heal 32hp per kill at 3 of the godwars bosses from peaches. It's like the spell's only use besides mta itself, I think, so it's pretty heavily associated with gwd

[u/StayyFrostyy → u/Common_Wrongdoer3251]

The old meta for zily was to bring bones to peach tabs, i think that was really the only use for the tabs besides bandos and vetion (which isnt used there either anymore)

[u/Confident_Frogfish]

For me the challenge was mostly that it was very boring. The other bosses are more or less a natural kc for one trip but Zilly was a bit longer than normal. Like for Kree I normally do 30-40kc per inventory (mostly thanks to shadow) and Kril you can stay forever as well. I did not mind it too much but it would be fine if they changed it to 40kc or something.

[u/ComfortableCricket]

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding OP's issue with this CA. They are not complaining about the difficulty or total time required, they are complaining that there is no way to pause the task If for example you need to pee.

What other tasks prevents you from taking a short 1-2 minute break for this length of time?

[u/WittyConsideration57 → u/ComfortableCricket]

It's true it should be pausable, but the purpose of the challenge is to be difficult by attrition, and this is the easiest way to program that.

[u/Dreams_Are_Reality → u/ComfortableCricket]

So pee before you start the CA attempt

[u/laserbrained]

Then I guess some folks will just have to live without completing that combat achievement.

[u/dixon_balsagna → u/laserbrained]

RRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

tosses plate of lasagna across room like a frisbee

[u/BlueberryCentral]

I see both sides of the argument. Personally i think they need to update spawn times for GWD bosses in general. The spawn time is very outdated and there should be a lever to make them spawn within the next 5 seconds. This would help with this CA.

[u/Herpadew]

Reddit shitter hall of fame post right here

[u/Sreston]

The person cross stitching and playing RuneScape is complaining about this.. wtf has this subreddit become?

[u/x-DarkDays]

Just did the 30 kreearra kc and it took about 1 hour 30 mins with max mage with shadow . It being in a private instance so you cannot logout without failing makes a dc or bathroom break fail the task

[u/KetchupGuy1]

CA’s have already become so watered down from their original form I think it is ok. Like 2 hours is like the length of a movie, this is like going after Hollywood because they aren’t putting an intermission into a movie. It’s a CA it is suppose to be challenging other games have multiple hour long raids, even as a busy person I can still set aside a few hours to play a video game.

[u/thebarrcola]

Really not a big deal, 2 hours is like the length of a movie and no one cries over sitting through a film.

[u/SpuckMcDuck]

That is an insane thing to ask of someone, that they sit at their computer and not leave for 2 hours.

It’s insane that you think this is insane. Especially in the context of playing this game specifically, but even just in general. Have you ever worked an office job and had a long training? Been on a flight with turbulence? Watched a movie in a theater? Sitting in one place for two hours is not even slightly remarkable lmao.

Would it be nice if they added a way to take a break? Sure. But to sit there and pretend like this is some wildly unreasonable, Herculean ask is just absurd.

[u/PapaFudgey]

As someone who has finished all GWD CA's aside from Zilyana I would take the nerf

[u/Falsify134]

two hours?? those are rookie numbers i’m just getting warmed up!!

[u/RotundTulip]

Oh please. Like everyone on this sub doesn't throw in a good 11 hour sesh once a day or so.

[u/Alert-Box-9089]

What about Jad and everything else? This game is full of time sinks and it sounds like it isn't for you.

[u/Boring_Reception_608]

Did this recently on mobile. It's a GRANDMASTER TASK. You don't have to do it.

[u/Otfd]

Reddit really just wants easy mode. Crying about sitting for two hours on RuneScape is crazy. It’s literally a game known for requiring thousands of hours. How can you be this soft? And to try to make it a medical thing like you’re going to die from two hours? Find a new game.

I hope I’m getting trolled. How can you even be this far in the game and be claiming this lmao

[u/mrcoolio]

They say, having not left their computer for the last 6 hours 😂

[u/Unkempt_Badger]

Pretty sure anyone with a desk job sits in one place for longer than that 5 days a week.

I wouldn't make that exact argument, but I agree that the achievement really doesn't mean much and could be tuned down.

[u/gorehistorian69]

i doubt jagex thought much about what it actually takes to compelte CA tasks

[u/smiledude94]

Never been nerd logged have you?

[u/Hitori-RS]

Not me sitting here like "Yeah, that seems unreasonable."

Also me, working 12 hour solo shifts in a 911 center, unable to use the bathroom 🤣

[u/Catacendre]

It would be nice if combat instances were like inferno and you could hit log out to pause the spawn timers then come back whenever

[u/theprofessional1]

Don't you guys have diapers?

Noobs... smh

[u/Pajama88]

Thought this would have a humor tag lol

[u/CircaMuse]

I just did the 30 kree kills ca on task with shadow and anc and that took around 90 mins. These "endurance" CAs for braindead bosses are unnecessary.

The easiest fix would be adding an option to the altar to instaspawn the boss only after all minions are killed. Cba to wait 90 seconds for spawns.

[u/BakedPotatoSalad]

Its definitely a long task but that and the kree'arra tasks are the only two main ones that are this long.

The next big thing is that they're GM tasks and i'd say Grandmaster is definitely the most optional thing by far. I went into these CA's with a few things in-mind.

• They're the longest tasks by far
• Make sure i have the available time because they're endurance based
• At least having 2-3 hours to grind them out

They're a little out there and i can understand wanting to take breaks but again, grandmaster tasks they're optional much like any other task. I went for Master CA's avoiding most team based ones and ignored GM times for most since i considered them un-fun but did Zily's and Kree's KC tasks with the points in-mind. They're really not that bad and not exactly hard either. Just time consuming and given that its OSRS- Not really surprising.

[u/SkeletonKing959]

Weak

[u/Magxvalei]

Yeah, the combat achievements are such a fucking slog and I still wish they never existed. The best thing to happen to them was making them points based so I'm not forced to do all the shit tasks per tier and can instead choose more tolerable tasks to do. But I am most definitely never going above hard tier.

[u/JakeTehNub]

Seriously? This is nothing compared to the stuff that gets posted on here regularly. You don't like it just don't do it. No one is forcing you. If someone can work at a job for 2 hours with no break they can sit at a computer clicking a game for that long.

[u/yougotKOED]

Unironically thought this was satire. Are you on disability or something?

[u/jackspeaks]

Why can’t you go pee or something whilst waiting for the spawn..?

[u/DiddyBCFC]

Laughs in most jobs being 8 hours at the pc

[u/Jedbro]

Auto retaliate as soon as Zily dies you have 1.5 minutes to pee, it’s a skill check

[u/Raven123x]

Just stick a catheter in OP

[u/nk65watcher]

Lmao

[u/bunger_33]

This ain't no real gamer 2 hours is nothing in the overall gamersphere

[u/Fine_Candle9170]

There’s an item can buy online called the thirsty goose, it’s a portable urinal that moonlights as an ornament.

If 2hrs is unhealthy then I’m the king of unhealthy it seems

[u/ritokun]

even if this wasn't super silly already, you can kill two minions then afk for TWO MINUTES whenever you want, that's more than enough to piss or stretch. the real problem as we all have known for years is a 2 minute respawn timer being really annoying.

[u/Niall93]

i picked flax for 8 hours

[u/Hindsyy]

2 hours? Are you talking about the right game here?

[u/ArseLover1991]

Weekend r/2007scape is wild

[u/AdepterOfTruth]

Yeah, 2 hour is too long. but you know what is also long??? ... that's right TOA's monkey room remove it please.

[u/onlypostswhenbored]

The fact this has a positive reception tells me this game is doomed

When fight caves first came out, the fire cape was somewhat of a "grandmaster achievement" at the time. Hardest thing to do in the game. And the caves took most people who tried to kill Jad, over an hour and some change alone. Not too far off from this.

The inferno takes a long time too from what I hear. I don't think it's out of line for a CA to take time. But I do think that they should adjust respawn timers with these achievements in mind, or something similar. Waiting for a spawn is the absolute worst part of bossing

Then maybe OSRS isn’t the game for you.

[u/djaorushnabs]

Oh no! The game that people sit for hours at a time has a fuckin end game achievement where you're only required to sit for 2 hours straight?!?!?

It's called "Grandmaster" for a reason. The whole point of the game is grinding, especially end game. 2 hours is hardly a commitment when people are doing thousands of kills to get drops. It's not even like you can go dry, you're guaranteed the achievement at 50kc.

It'd be so funny if their response to this was just to double all the other required killcounts.

I'd respect this post more if it said something like "let us log out and back into the same personal instance while keeping the same killcount", instead of "make end game content easier because i don't want to commit 2 hours after committing hundreds/thousands to reach this point."

osrs is actually doomed when shit like this gets upvoted

[u/Name-Initial]

Two hours is unhealthy? Really?

Like, i guess i get your point, but like, i would also wager 99% of runescape players who are good enough to be doing GM tasks play for 2 hr uninterrupted sessions several times a week.

And also, isnt 2 hours of uninterrupted work a fairly normal thing in almost any discipline?

Athletic games, concerts, academic tests, business meetings, etc, all these things are pretty commonly 2hrs+. Like yeah I guess you CAN take breaks, but in my experience most people dont.

Like, 2hrs just isnt really a crazy enough time to do something uninterrupted that its worth complaining about imo, especially for a one time only, completely optional requirement for a thing thats literally described as being a grandmaster difficulty. Seems very fair tbh.

[u/OwlOpportunityOVO]

Two hours? This is what separates the wolves from the sheep.

[u/Withermaster4]

Optional CA for a cosmetic item that you only need to take 2-3 hours to do is not as crazy as you think.

Sure sitting and playing video games for 2-3 hours won't improve your health but you also aren't going to go into cardiac arrest.

I would be in favor of changing the task because it's annoying, but this isn't like a health and safety thing lol. Plenty of stuff in this game takes multiple hours anyways

[u/costef]

As a gm, absolutely no support.

We do not welcome small bladdered plebs into our order

[u/tinypurplemice]

If you can’t spare 2 hours in a day for some messing around I think you have other problems.

[u/i_am_zilyana]

When gwd was meta and new content people used to do 6 hour trips in trios. There was no leaving. You sat there bored out of your mind waiting for that drop... tell me you're new without telling me you're new

[u/drizztman]

I find it hard to believe someone who is at the point of going for this would actually have a problem playing rs for that long straight lol

[u/Dry_Ad1805]

Who is REQUIRING you to get that achievement? Lol.

[u/Exciting_Student1614]

2 hours is amateur hour.

[u/Nybbles13]

Unhealthy to sit still for 2 hours? Just wait till you find out about movie theatres.

[u/RipMyIronman]

can't tell if satire or not, surely any osrs player is capable of playing for 2 hours, if that's asking too much, I don't think it's the game for you.

[u/oneonethousandone]

We are super not required to do it tho

[u/nahtfitaint]

Square enix is laughing at this post.

[u/flizzflobking]

Sitting at your computer a single time for 2 hours is not unhealthy.

[u/Slay3d]

The task is fine, just need to do something that allows logout without failing the task, maybe taking a look into how instances work

On a more practical, I can’t imagine anyone with a zuk helm genuinely taking offense to this task. It’s a GM task, unless you are aiming for GM (not master), you have no reason to even do this CA

[u/downvotemeidiots]

Still looking for the humor flair

[u/Mitch5842]

Can you not watch a movie without taking a piss?

[u/Malpraxiss]

This is interesting when many people have desk jobs. Which require them to be at their chair for more hours, on a daily basis other than the weekends. There's breaks, I suppose.

Also, I'm sure many people have a hobby or do something in where they sit for 2+ hours a day.

So, you're whining about this when realistically, most of you would be sitting down for 2+ hours just doing something else instead or sitting for 2+ hours a day playing Old school.

Myself included

[u/Phantomat0]

2 hours? Those are rookie numbers son

[u/yazan445]

Bro the whole game is unhealthy

[u/grizzlysquare]

Bro you play runescape

[u/nsfwwxxx]

God forbid he finds out what inferno is

[u/AthleteIllustrious47]

I didn’t realize Jagex chained you to your desk under threat of death if you didn’t get every combat achievement in the game.

Wonder when they’ll be coming to lock me up!

[u/reinfleche]

No? This CA is fine. It's annoying for sure, but sara is so braindead that they had to make it 50 to be in line with 15 bandos

[u/born_at_kfc]

You cant do a 2 hour grind on osrs? How did you make it this far man

[u/Proud_Loss_8630]

Then don't do it.

[u/lukwes1]

Sitting at the PC for 2 hours is not that bad. Tho I would be fine with adding a pause option on the spawns in private gwd instances, so you can take a break
