Fine by me...

Or odds are most people wouldn't have a clue what happened a long time before 03, especally not some little post on the forums about dragon items

Javelin is also overpowered. And I didn't see any 99 hits with d claws. I've also loaned them for 10+ hours, and I haven't hit above 99 in a single hit yet. Therefore I have been foced to conclude that they will not kill me, even if the meleer is lucky enough to hit me. Which most meleers aren't, as good dodging keeps them from getting close enough.

Stop double posting. And for the record, 1 d claws spec isn't going to kill a mage. Max of 84, and then the meleer is frozen again while the mage heals up at his expense. Side note: A good ancient wouldn't get hit by running just out of the meleer's range before freezing him again.

I'm very happy. Customer support? I've been muted twice, once unfairly - the unfair mute was lifted within 15 minutes of an appeal. As for support for the game, the RSOF or any game community website does a great job. I don't see the problem. um, what? clarify.. now. Ok. Say I wanted to know how to make money. I post in RSOF or Tip.IT or Zybez or RuneHQ or Sal's Realm, and get helpful suggestions tailored to my specific levels by players who are happy to answer any questions I have. RSOF may have more spam, but you get the idea. Jagex support couldn't handle a question like that even if they DID open it up; as I analyzed it statistically in a previous thread, they could not afford to even personally respond to abuse reports.

considering that Jagex has said that there are 2 million players, 4.8 sounds good to me. Remember that it's not just ACTIVE accounts; the 13 mill would obviously include all lvl 3 accounts made out of boredom, locked, and banned accounts. Where did jagex say 2 million players? There are 130 million accounts, as of a couple of months ago when RSHD came out (one of the RS website adverts), so that's 65 accounts per player. Something's wrong here. My bad, you're right. I thought it said 13 million, not 130 million. But even if you said that it's 1.5, I would be skepticlehttp://forum.tip.it/posting.ph ... p=6288467# since that means over 40 million players ever. It's probably somewhere between 2.4-3.2 accounts per player, but now we're getting off-topic aren't we? :oops: What's wrong with 40 million players? It was 5th highest rank in Yahoo searches for this year. That's huge. Bottom line: It doesn't appear to be dying.

Just tested barrows with a godsword for an hour or so. I hit a total of 190 times, none of them being over my max without the salve effect. The statistical chances of this happening and the salve still providing a bonus are .000000000000000000081045225954706893720945466087718 I believe it can be safely stated that a salve ammy does not provide a bonus.

Are you positive your sara\zammy items worked? Spirit mages could take you down in seconds without it looking like they were attacking.

well thats again depending personal liking and experience... i have never had mith drags for example but i did have 50 times wrapted terrorbirds or 20 waterfiends... thats enoying, but, to bad for all of us, nothing can only be fun... about powertraining: thats the whole point of slayer (exept maybe the special drops u can get), doing melee training when ur bored of only powertraining and wanna slay some other monsters u dont usualy fight. on the otherhand its true that, since the last update with points etc, u almost are obliged to do them or waste points (before, i just went getting new task, killed the 20 spiders he asked and then got new/better task) btw little question: does the skillbars update itselfs according to my highscores or do i have to change them every while i get better stats? (srr im kinda new at Tip.It forums :P ) They update once every 24 hours. As for slayer, the monsters are still the same 20; any decently high level slayer will have killed them thousands of times, so its nothing new and is more of the same, only with much less XP.

Meh, I've found the 'variety' wears off around the 30th mithril dragon task. But for total XP, powertraining is faster - and for total levels, there are almost always skills that can be raised much more quickly the slayer.

Salve does NOT work. Tested, debunked.

They do not count as undead for salve ammy, only skeletons and zombies do. Maging is much faster and more profitable then melee. Avansies is much better money and XP then barrows.

Jagex could easily have put them in the game some other way. Just make the monsters tough instead of requring a high slayer level. And slayer is still MUCH slower combat XP, with far less valuable drops.

this realy depends on what monsters u get... for example if you get skeletons and u wear ur salve (e) ammy and a slayer helmet u get 35% str/att bonus. that way i can gain allmost 120k xp/h... also tasks like fire giants (with guthan and/or bunyip) gives lots of xp, u gain easy money wich compensates the repair of ur guthan and the cost of the bunyip and you easely get 150+ gold charms, really usefull for summ training if u dont want to put to much money in it... and btw, runescape is all about gameplay and fun. if u look at everything and think about 'how much xp will i get' u'dd beter stop playing cuz the fun seems gone... Wrong about skeletons. Slave ammy doesn't stack with mask, and the top with salve is 102k XP\hour, which I get at zombie monkies, with far more profit then you'll ever get from skeletons. Fire giants don't give nearly as much XP or money OR charms, with far more investment (like guthans) then armored zombies. Runscape is about fun and gameplay, but some of us would rather get our 99s fast then have fun some other way, like PVP. And running around killing the same 20 monsters isn't necessarily funner then running around killing armored zombies.

I've never heard of this, but I would guess it's just a part of the rumors flying around the cesspool of stupidity that is the RSOF. Something like 'd claws are inaccurate' or 'dfs is good for melee' rumors that are bantered around as 'truth'. @Ray: Any company smart enough to create a multimillion empire out of a parent's basement obviously isn't lacking in the brains department.

Looks good. You might want to drop to 3 range pots though, and possibly swap a restore for a brew.

Then what was it made for? It's bad money, bad XP, no reason whatsoever to train. The one thing it has going for it is fun, but most skills at least pretend to be useful.

The average number of accounts owned by a single player isn't 5, it's far less then that. I've made a grand total of 3 accounts, one of which I haven't been on in over 3 years, and the other I haven't been on in almost 2. Most of my friends (~400 of them) own 1 account; a few of them own 2. The average is more like 1.5.

holy crap magic is pwned by melee and range alike melee is most overpowered for its ability to hybrid with any armour without loss of stats and it does take skill to kill people with melee try looking up some pvp vids before you start talking about how mage is overpowered. ags and dds are overpowered :wall: also vesta is uber overpowred lol What are you talking about? I just demonstrated, several times, how magic is far superior to melee, especially when fighting off more then one person. AGS and dd++ are completely inaccurate. The majority of the time they both hit 0-0 on me, and it's rare that I get hit more then once in 4 dd++ specs.

Depends what your referring to. From a gameplay and fun standpoint, it's awesome. It's one of my favorite skills, and is almost universally liked. From an XP standpoint, it sucks.

@ earlier post: Yes, avansies are luck based, but a 1/4 drop rate is different then 1/130. :P As I've said before, I've had 630 kills without boots; according to probability I 'should' have gotten almost 5 pairs. In avansies terms, that's killing 20 of them without a drop; something that takes a few minutes. My 600 kills took over 3 hours, making for a much more annoying time. Obviously, in the long run, it does not matter as much, but because of streaks like that my drop rates have been substandard. Range XP is still more important, as we are not getting nearly as much range as melee XP for the one (VERY questionably) 'cannonable' task. @Kamikaze: Yes, it is entirely possible; you could kill 1 million nad never get any. It's also possible to kill 100 mages and get boots every kill. Probablyity is cool like that. But killing 84 avansies with no bars is equivalent to 2.7 thousand spirit mages without boots.

Look, I second Makoto. It's not Jagex's fault you forgot your recovery questions! They can't just give accounts out because you know an old password or two; that would only boost account theft. Are you both [bleep] stupid... ITS RECOVERY QUESTIONS, So when you recover you are meant to get asked QUESTIONS. I do not get asked QUESTIONS, i get Whats the answer to #1?, Whats the answer to #2?... I MADE THESE RECOVERYS 2 YEARS AGO, UNDERSTAND? I shouldnt have to remember 5 questions set 2 years ago, when the game is meant to do it, they are meant to be there when i go to [bleep] answer them.. No moron your supposed to set them in the [bleep] game, then the game is meant to ask you them when you recover, thats what makes them recovery questions and not 5 passwords. Then you've experienced a bug, and should send in a report, or keep trying.

I enjoyed this. Especially when I could set my own price. I'm afraid you were in the minority. I never enjoyed trying to sell a few hundred nats when I was 80k away from that DFS; I could spend a half hour, and sell for a much lower then normal price, just to find someone who sold them. And you couldn't set your own price; GE didn't cause the price limits, RWT did. There would be exactly the same limits.
