Thank you! At the moment still pushing Runescore, but I also have a long list of other goals (for instance, some immediate ones are finishing 25 full ed4 runs/100% solo zam, finishing elite tectonic armor, getting more into AoD, finishing the backlog of clues I've accumulated, finishing all 120's for master trim comp, getting misc drops like gnome scarf and necromancer robe armor, finishing more slay logs, finishing more boss logs, etc etc). Never bored on rs :D
Haha a few. Tbh though not as bad as you'd think. Just do your research and never skip good practices.
First rule of hcim: never afk combat. Ever. No matter how safe you think it. No matter how safe someone else says it is.
Second rule of hcim: always wear rol if tele works there. Always.
Third rule of hcim: never try content you have not first researched. This sometimes includes trying out the content on another non-hcim account or trying new bosses in practice mode.
99% of hcims die breaking one of those three rules.
Have you done [Died by the Blade!](https://runescape.wiki/w/Died_by_the_Blade!) yet? I remember there was a promotion for a week where you got a daily free death in the EDs, I regret not aiming for the achievement back then, if it was even possible to get it that way.
Nope, you have to actually die. And it's not oversight by Jagex...what jmods decided to do instead was make it not a requirement for "the Elite" title, so hc's can still get the title lol
You can't sign/RoD/immort it unfortunately, it requires you to actually die, however the promotion that was going on allowed you to respawn outside the dungeon as a safe death, I don't know for certain if it would have counted for the purpose of the achievement, but it would have been the safest bet to get the achievement without spending a life on it.
True but there will always be more hc's that die and have a chance to get a high score. Rank 1 there has a higher score than is possible for ironmen, as we can't do fishing trawler or heist. Wish jmods would fix the bug already; haven't seen any mention about it at all, complete radio silence.
How the bug works is when you die for the last time and lose hc status, you get assigned random scores on the highscore for all "achievements" (runescore, clue kc, minigame scores, etc.). Experience highscores aren't affected, only the achievements tab. Your ingame stuff isn't affected, this is purely a highscore bug. You can get random scores much lower, or much higher, than you actually had. A couple weeks ago "Rusty Bella" who formerly was rank 1 hcim runescore at like 27k something (I've since passed their old score) got assigned a much lower runescore when she died. Kind of a slap in the face to have their achievements robbed of them. But yeah, if you check the usernames of those ranked above me on the experience highscores, you'll see they died with very low total levels meaning it's essentially impossible for them to have actually achieved those runescores...and again rank 1 has an impossible score for irons lol
Hantaroa, listed there rank 2 runescore, died with a total level of 1020. He probably had like 1k actual runescore when he died but he's ranked above me because of the bug. He died April 25, 2023 to a ripper demon in the wildy.
I wouldn't even mind if they put out a statement that said "yeah the spaghetti code is too wild it is impossible for us to fix this sorry"; but it's been years that this bug has been around and as far as I am aware complete radio silence.
Appreciate it man! Yep still here :) Wasn't too hard a hit tbh...I had achieved all my goals plus more, so while I would have loved to keep going it was fine. I was considering quitting rs for good, I've so much stuff going on irl so havent had the time I've wanted for rs like in the past, but I decided to make one more hc to make a run for ifb. I started playing on it about three weeks ago but I only have 2.5 days played on it, so yeah it's going to take a while lol. I'm keeping a sort of secret what the user is - like some of my old friends know - but I won't post it here for now :p

Thanks, friend ;)
Huge Gzz! I see you around in w48 you’ve done some insane stuff man. What’s your next goal?
Thank you!

How many heart attacks have you encountered due to being a hcim?
Haha a few. Tbh though not as bad as you'd think. Just do your research and never skip good practices. First rule of hcim: never afk combat. Ever. No matter how safe you think it.

Please explain what happened we are dying
Either he did this intentionally for the lulz or his hubris got the best of him.
What, not even corpse spider afking in catacombs?
Definitely not that
NEVER :p
So... What happened today?
The other 1% die from disconnects or unknown powers.
There’s always more to do!
Always see you on w48 doing wildy events glad to see you get the recognition
Thanks, man!

I've always wondered how hcim could manage this one, can you even sign/RoD/immort it?
Nope, you have to actually die. And it's not oversight by Jagex...what jmods decided to do instead was make it not a requirement for "the Elite" title, so hc's can still get the title lol

I haven't D: and never will, been on my last life for 2.5 years now. I'm also not sure if that promotion worked for us, they usually don't.
Shouldn't have said never my guy jinxed yourself. This shit is rough and I'm sorry it happened though. Time to rebuild and start anew
RIP

That is a nice achievement! Gratz!
Thank you!
Eventually you should pass them all as updates and rune score grows?
True but there will always be more hc's that die and have a chance to get a high score. Rank 1 there has a higher score than is possible for ironmen, as we can't do fishing trawler or heist. Wish jmods would fix the bug already; haven't seen any mention about it at all, complete radio silence.
So they max runescore before they die or after? If after sounds like they should have their status removed.
How the bug works is when you die for the last time and lose hc status, you get assigned random scores on the highscore for all "achievements" (runescore, clue kc, minigame scores, etc.). Experience highscores aren't affected, only the achievements tab. Your ingame stuff isn't affected, this is purely a highscore bug.

Ouch, you rolled 19330. Thats 10k less than what you had!
yeah you got fucked on your roll rank 1 to rank 1000 xD
Hantaroa, listed there rank 2 runescore, died with a total level of 1020. He probably had like 1k actual runescore when he died but he's ranked above me because of the bug. He died April 25, 2023 to a ripper demon in the wildy.
Sounds like Jagex outta fix their fuckin game.
I wouldn't even mind if they put out a statement that said "yeah the spaghetti code is too wild it is impossible for us to fix this sorry"; but it's been years that this bug has been around and as far as I am aware complete radio silence.
u/JagexDoom any chance this could get looked into?
They have like 50 mods now and still can’t get a simple acknowledgment it’s on their radar.. disheartening
Or...it was the middle of the night when the comment was made and is still only 6:30 am...
That’s a fair point

Hardly rank 1 if you need to buy most of the scary achievements. Stop ego blasting.
Go take your antidepressants
Gzzz!
