[Rodrigo]

What do you guys thinks about runescape HD clients? Like HDOS

"tHiRd PaRtY cLiEnTs ArE hAx!1!1!1!1!1!1!1" -Karens playing OSRS on the official, outdated client and refuse to use any 3PC cuz reasons when there's evidence 3PCs don't give any unfair advantage since they're available to everyone and only offer quality of life improvements

I believe one was in the works but it got shot down by jagex

I think the reason was sonething to do with them directly using jagex assets or something. Bit of a no no.

Just for fun i took a look these "quality of life improvements" and some of them do look useful but nothing must have things.

I will wait for RuneLites HD plugin.

Because let's be real OSHD will happen to most of them. Again.

It's out and downloadable for the public, however Jagex has been tight lipped about their stance on it. So it's a personal discretion thing right now whether you're cool with it or not (it's a no from me personally.)

It's certainly pretty looking though.

I'm fine with them existing, but I'd never use one myself.

From what i've gathered basing on some videos about it, the issue jagex has had with one of the clients wasnt a matter of assets or anything like that
it's that the way it communicated with the servers was funky somehow, and it made the users register as false positive bots
So i doubt they'd just take action agaisnt them

It's not a matter of them taking it down, moreso that jagex has not acknowledged that a new 3pc is available to the public - it has not been checked. We don't know if they are cool with it, and we don't know what they want to do with this moving forward. Being that HDOS is closed source, there could be information in the client that Jagex might not like (The HDOS Team has worked hard to be compliant, and has stated they're more than willing to oblige Jagex on their terms) but we as players have no idea until they make a statement about it.

Its just new and they havent gotten around to it is all, it wouldn't be unwise to wait till it gets the thumbs up or a thumbs down, but again - thats a decision that's up to you.

I've, got some memory of jmods commenting that they are fine with it, but yeah i do agree that you should treat the hd clients with a grain of salt untill there's official word about it

[kingjames488]

I don't think so.

I guess maybe if it were an optional thing you could download like a DLC for the base client that's just new textures or w.e... but it would ruin it for me.

I don't see any reason to use it. Last time someone tried to make a HD client the users that used the client got banned. Also HDOS is closed source so no one can read what's actually going on, neither can Jagex.

Might as well just play EOC. It's not like OSRS is any different soon
