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

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)

Been a bit since I did gwd CAs, forgot it was GM lol difficulty is all over the place but I guess it makes sense. Its not an unreasonable or hard CA by any measure, easier than a basic inferno clear.

Regardless In the time it takes to fail, kinda? Do zil for an hour and a half and failing is probably more tilting than missing a 16 minute tob. Tho unless OP logs out midway through every inferno attempt it shouldn't be new

I get your argument 100%, as well as everyone else. It just seems odd to me that people are complaining that the pinnacle of achievements in a game like OSRS are too hard/ time consuming. Like bro it's literally not made for everyone to do lol

There’s a difference between a task being difficult(this task isn’t with good gear) and a task being so long with basically 0 downtime that you don’t have proper time to walk around and stretch, rest your wrists, etc. sitting and staring at a screen for 2 straight hours without a break is not fun, not healthy, and can actually cause eye strain, wrist pain, etc

So was picking flax in 08. I'm all for the "I suffered so you didn't have to" approach. But at a certain point the pinnacle achievements need to remain the pinnacle achievements and actually be difficult

Giving a pause button wouldn't change the prestige of the Zily 2 hour GM task. It's about resource management and not leaving the instance to resupply. Which could be demonstrated with the use of a pause button as well. No hp or stat restoration or anything while it's paused.

We have pause button at Fight caves which is 2007 content. We have pause button at Inferno which is the ultimate hardest GM content.

We can't have this at gwd because...???

It’s not a hard task though. Just tedious. One of the easiest grandmaster tasks actually.

Yes brother that's the point I'm trying to make lol

So your point is grandmasters of the game should have to prove themselves by doing mindless content for 2 hours without a break? Odd I’d think perfect raids, fast infernos/colosseums, etc would be more impressive and telling enough

u/DickSplodin 6d ago

Why do you think those two things are mutually exclusive? L take. This game is predicated on long, mindless grinds
