SoF has been around since 2012, players progress hasn't meant anything for a long time but at least it's being fixed now. MMOs should be dedicated to players who earn everything they achieve, not the ones who say "I don't have time for the game" and want our childhood games we played as kids to be made easier for them, MMOs should never be made easier. Veterans and their progress, items and memories must be respected. Do not cave in to "fomo" people either.

My fan sprite art of Eclipse and Yatta from Dandy's World, the game and characters are owned by BlushCrunch Studio. This is the SFW version, I posted the knotty version of an intersex Eclipse elsewhere.
   

I decided to open up my art program and draw a cute and funny Noelle Holiday from DELTARUNE as a cub! I will only post the SFW version here. DELTARUNE is owned and created by Toby Fox, I am not affiliated with him or DELTARUNE.

Frog Rays are the red and black frog-like enemies you find when going down further into Darkroot Garden, below where the Wolf Ring is. When the player first enters this area there's a unique animation that plays where four Frog Rays jump out of the water below and onto the ground above, an entirely unique animation, a moment in the game dedicated to this small group of frogs. It's not often this amount of care goes into such a seemingly insignificant enemy in a far off area that doesn't have much in it aside from the Wolf Ring I mentioned. These frogs drop eighty souls along with a twenty five percent chance for a Green Blossom and a fifteen percent chance for two Green Blossoms, if you need some of these early on for some reason it's a good way of obtaining some although you can just buy an infinite supply of them from the Crestfallen Merchant in Sens Fortress or from Chester in the DLC.

Something always felt strange about these foes, as if they were intended for another area in the game that may have been cut. There's actually some proof that somewhat leans towards this, I mentioned this in one of my Dark Souls mysteries, oddities and urban legends videos, there's more to the Frog Rays than just their tongue. If you manage to lure a Frog Ray out of the area they spawn in and towards the upper area of Darkroot Garden, specifically where there's water puddles and then they walk into said puddle they will gain an entirely new attack that they don't normally have. This attack is very interesting, they will fire some sort of sludge ball at the player, it looks like it would either poison or even curse the target but it actually just does a small amount of damage instead. This attack may be the same one that the Mass of Souls uses in New Londo. They also have a new animation where they will also swim in the water instead of walking and jumping like they usually do.

Speaking of animations, in the video version of this post I'll show what the frogs look like in the lake or pond they jump out of before they actually jump out of it, this is also some form of animation the player never gets to see. Aside from them possibly being in an area that was scrapped from the game I also feel like they were supposed to be poisonous as well just due to their design and that mentioned spit attack, even though they are fully designed and implemented into the game many things about them point to them being unfinished. I don't have much else to say on these creatures aside from something that happened to me around late 2011, I was in the area where they jump out of the water and I noticed an item bag sitting right where they spawn, I think this was before I even interacted with them, I didn't have the maximum amount of Green Blossoms either, when I tried to pick up said item it didn't do anything aside from the item grab animation implying I was trying to pick up something I already had the maximum amount of. It's possible I went afk and a player dropped something for me in that spot for some reason.

Outside of all of that, that's all I can say about the Frog Rays. One last thing of note is my game crashing when defeating the Frog Rays and reloading the game in the same area where the script plays out of them jumping out of the pond.

This post is for a small portion of those who treat games as checklists, this is a message for completionists and those who talk down to others for not having max stats, an infernal cape, low boss KCs, not two or three ticking and so on. This game is not for you, it was never made for you, the Gowers have never intended for you to max that account if it was even you, yourself who have done so to begin with. The Gowers never even intended for someone to achieve a single 99 at first. That collection log will never be filled and was only added to satiate this small portion of players who treat video games as a checklist, there's a lot of games that were never intended to be completed one hundred percent, there's some quests that were created with the idea that only a select few players would complete them, I am speaking about role playing games, RPGs.
It's in the name, "roleplay", there was no such thing as "xp waste" back in the day and it's completely unnecessary for me to even mention that to anyone else, the only ones who don't know this are those who are new to the internet, games and roleplaying in general which is absolutely fine by itself but when you start ignoring culture you become ignorant or arrogant and have no right to insult a veteran of the game who has no idea what streamer culture is or portable toilet max efficiency is, at the end of the day the veteran plays the game because it's a game, because it's entertaining, he or she does not play it to watch a number go up, he or she is satisfied with completing a few quests or excelling in a single skill such as crafting to help his or her friends get a glory and one of those friends chooses to be a smith to make their friends armor or weapons. What are you to them? You, who supposedly maxed everything mostly by themselves, what was your purpose to others, what was the purpose of your progress, what role did you play in the world of RuneScape with all of it's world building, it's characters, it's storytelling, did you fill any role at all in this roleplaying game?
I noticed a lot of newer players don't respect the game, they will use stolen valor and have others play the game for them, they pay for these services in the game or outside of it just so they can brag about something they didn't earn online, I feel as though those who insult others in the game didn't earn what they have because if they did earn it then they'd come to the realization it doesn't matter what they have over someone else as the other player has memories and they do not. Would you believe me if I told you that there's thousands of supposed players in the game that don't know what RS1 or RS2 is despite playing a 2007 version of RuneScape 2? I've read comments online of others insulting people for using the term "RuneScape 2" and making jokes at them for using the term because those ones making jokes don't know anything at all about the history of the game. I don't consider myself a veteran of the game as I started playing in late 2005 but you could imagine how obnoxious it is to have a player from 2014 or 2016 call you a noob while not knowing the true purpose of the game, I assume most of you know the significance of those years and their impact on the internet as a whole, the internet has become more and more accessible over time and it's had an intense impact on many games, not just RuneScape.
Video games are meant to be unique experiences for each player, each player was usually always meant to see something different than the last, some players will miss a holiday event or item that will never return and that's why those events and items are special, they are special memories that only a few select people have and if you are one of those so called "fomos" then these games aren't for you either, if everyone has those items the purpose they serve is no longer there, a question I would pose to them is why do they want the items that are discontinued? Do you think you are owed them despite not participating in the event from years past? You cannot experience the past no matter how hard you try, you missed out on it and if you ever got your hands on that item the memories don't come with it, face it, you missed out on it. It's time to grow up and move on. This goes back to them treating video games as a checklist, you aren't owed one hundred percent completion when you purchase a game, you aren't even owed an ending, there's things in life that you can't get.
That's my rant for the day.

The store page is up for DARKODAI, the game can now be wishlisted.
