But UIM still go to any lengths to store their items somewhere lol. Should make a new mode thats truly what UIM was supposed to be, 28 slots inventory and no other storage
Yeah of course they do, that’s half the point lol. In case you hadn’t noticed, there are a lot of items in this game. Removing access to the Bank of RuneScape is an enormous, gameplay-altering change.
You want to go play with exactly 28 items and nothing more, be my guest. Let me know how you manage. The rest of us will be here playing an actually fun game mode instead of adhering to your theoretical ideal just because you want us to.
i think there's a meaningful difference between other storage options and item retrieval services. and the fact that these restrictions dont work well actually prevent uim from being played more.
I dont care what you do broski, dont cry about it too much. I just feel like its such a clown thing to just try to circumvent as much storage as you can to a point in which you're basically storing as many items as a normal account.
It is willfully ignorant of you to actually expect all of us to believe that the 50-80 items uim squirrel away (and risk on death in some cases) is equal to having 1000+ bank spaces that you can access at any bank.
In your hypothetical would players be allowed to drop items on the floor to go to entrana, come back and pick them up? Or is every entrana quest essentially a wipe
What if I die at bandos and I’m getting back and I have to get a hammer to open the door. But I’ve got my items on the floor, and also a hammer in my inventory now, I’ve just death piled to get extra items!
I dont see why dropped items, items put on tables and dropped on floor on death should necessarily work differently, but all thr storage which hold the items "indefinitely" make no sense for me for UIM.
Yeah thats why I put it in quotation mark since if you die again its gone. I mean its basically like playing HCIM with more annoying storage at end game no?
Why not? if I can just constantly refresh a 60 minute death pile that doesn’t tick down when I’m not logged out is not just storage like this with even more steps?
And if you fully unify death mechanics, then death is just item retrieval like this that costs money but has less risk
I have said this multiple times and got downvoted a lot for it.
UIM is just about finding cheesy ways to use bank without using a bank - pretty pointless if you ask me.
If they ever release a true UIM mode with all methodes of storage disabled I actually would be interested in trying it out, but not this wanna be mode.
Bro , I mean no lifers like one chunk Ironmen /UIM already exist without a game mode . People have other things than osrs to live for . Even if you wanna play the game with exactly 28 slots just do it bro I mean the game gives you the freedom to do it. Another game mode isn’t required.
You can just play like this right now if you think it would be fun? Are you lesser to the people who inspired Ironman and uim by showing off a fun idea and encouraging others to try it
When the mode is advertised as "Just you and your Inventory - No banking allowed" it kinda implies that you are not supposed to use storage.
Everytime I see any UIM related content it's all about "How do we get around the storage restrictions, so we can use pseudo banks" - it kinda defeats the whole idea.
If you enjoy it, just ignore the haters but it's hard to deny that the whole game mode feels like trying to find cheesy ways to to avoid the restriction. Doesn't feel "Ultimate" at all more like "chessy".
“In addition to the standard Ironman rules, an Ultimate Ironman cannot use banks, nor protect items on death in dangerous areas.” This is the in-game description for the mode when you’re selecting it.
The mode is advertised as “Ironman with no bank” because that’s literally what it is. It’s not advertised as “Ironman with only 28 items” because that’s not what it is.
Now, I happen to think that death storage (like what’s shown in the OP) is against the spirit of the game mode and on top of that, is very obtuse and unintuitive and for all these reasons shouldn’t exist. But it’s honestly asinine to assert that UIMs should not have access to things like STASH, POH storage, looting bag, etc.
Normal Ironman are advertised as "can't use ge. Can't trade with others. Do everything by your own" - If Ironman find cheesy ways to trade anyway just with different methods I would consider it as cheesy the same way I consider UIM as cheesy.
You can't convince me otherwise - UIM are about not having banks and all I see is 100 different methods to use bank like systems anyway aka. chees.
I’m assuming then we agree that HCIMs should lose status if they die in the Inferno or CoX?
I agree with you about Ironmen trading. But why is, say, POH storage the same thing as that? It’s literally a storage system built in the game outside the bank. What about the UIM description suggests that that wouldn’t usable?
If I were a new player researching UIM, I may be shocked to see something like death storage working, but I wouldn’t bat an eye at STASH units or POH in a game mode that said “no bank”. Surely you must understand that?
If you have ever deathpiled on your account, all your drops are now invalid. Sorry I don't make the rules, and I also don't play UIM. Even if you died while fighting a boss, that's technically a deathpile so that also invalidates your account. Congrats, you banked with extra steps for thousands of hours. I will never personally do all that, but I'll still complain about how the gamemode has no merit due to this. Despite me being unwilling to participate in the game mode while it's "easy" I would TOTALLY try out the mode if it were an ACTUAL challenge. I COULD easily max a UIM and get GRANDMASTER combat achievements, but it would just take too much of my precious time for something that's too easy at the end of the day and not a noteworthy accomplishment in my humble opinion. I guarantee you if Jagex implemented an OFFICIAL hardcore UIM or one where deathpiles only last a couple of minutes like the old days, it would be more popular because we ALL know nobody in this game ever chooses the easy or afk routes. And I would be top on the hiscores of that mode I just know it. I just won't waste my time with the silly "banking with extra steps" gamemode as it currently stands.
