Well, August is coming to an end, and all the planned updates have been released. I'm bored at the moment so I'm going to chuck out a review for you guys. :mrgreen: Now, the BTS mentioned the Void quest, the Occult floors and Conquest. Plus the put back Treasure Trails update. So that's what I'm going to review.
Treasure Trails Update.
Now, my bank hasn't been graced by one of those amazing Elite clues, though I was trying to get them daily for a while there. Since the update, there was a rush of everyone, really, to go off and try their luck. While I never expected anything amazing like Third Age, I was expecting God armour and other high priced items (Though not as highly priced at Third Age). Since the update, I've obtained one new item (Rune H4 platelegs) and multiple God items and rune trimmed items (Rune platesbody (t), rune plateskirt (g), Guthix full helm). It's pushed up my average clue worth with those items alone. Though, as expected, firelighter rates shot up. Also, it was good that rushing for clues finished up the first set of Court cases for me. :thumbsup:
Overall rating: 7/10. Lots of fun with guaranteed rewards, and some of the new stuff (Mainly Ornamental kits, not that I can get them) look awesome. :thumbup:
A Void Dance.
I'm a man of my quests, the first Achievement cape I got was the Quest cape, and I've never looked back. I loved all the quests (Yeah, even One Small Favour, that shizz was lulzy) and this one is no exception. I ended up letting the pest live, seeing as I'm that nice kinda guy (Yeah, I let the dude live to, but who cares about him?). Personally, I can't wait for the finale, shall be good fun. I wanted to see the mysterious guy in this one too, but alas, he didn't appear to us. Or so I think... :shock:
Overall rating: 7/10.
The Occult Floors.
*looks at Dungeoneering level* Oh shi-. I'm not really in the place, or should I say level, to review the actual floors, so I'll have to settle with the rewards and the few new rooms they've put into the lower floors, not that I can remember any apart from the Poltergeist.
Herbicide - Nowhere near worth the cost. Maybe if I'd bought everything before it, and it cost half as much as it does now.
Magical blastbox - I'm no Mage, I'll range before I mage, so I have no use for this at all. :-|
Ring of vigour - With a +3 Strength bonus, and a chance to save some Special bar, this looks like the only respectable thing that came from batch 2/1.5/whatever the hell you want to call it of the rewards. Though I'm still saving for a Chaotic Rapier, or anything that's better by Batch 2, 'cause I don't think I'll have the level by then.
Scroll of rigour - I think I'd only buy this for completion's sake. To fill the Prayer tab, otherwise, it's way overpriced for my use.
Overall rating: 6/10. I'm sure it'll get better by the time I get down to those floors/get to buy some of those rewards.
Conquest (and clothes).
I've only played one game of Conquest, so maybe I should have held back on the review before I came out with it, but meh. I do like the minigame/activity/whatever the hell you want to call it, and I'd like to get back to it sometime soon. Last time they told us to control units, it sucked arse, I'm very happy it didn't go down the same path as Mobilising Armies, as someone once said 'If you say you enjoy MA, you're lying.'
On the clothes side of things, I'm saying update of the month. :mrgreen: It's really epic, the choices are everywhere. From the fifty people I've seen dressed like Spartans, or the few naked guys I saw around Varrock, it's lulzy and awesome. Plus I went pretty well at matching my character to look like Jak from Jak 2.
See the resemblance? :anxious:
Conquest rating: 7/10, should also get better.
Clothing rating: 10/10. WINNNNNNNNNN.
And that's my review, my opinions, so if you don't like them, gtfo. :thumbsup:
