After much experimenting! By which I mean I kind of played with the Universal Randomizer and kind of got rid of trade evolutions. So, if I so choose, I can envolve things. I'm genuinely surprised that it worked, to be honest, considering that using metronome killed my save. Clearly, that's a problem for another day; one that I couldn't possibly regret. And it's definitely not cheating! Anyway, here it is, fresh from the dry cleaner: [spoiler=HELL-COW] I'm going to need to grind. Luckily, there's a route filled with people young and old alike that I can assault for money and experience! Eh, I'll do that later. There's an underground tunnel with just as much experience, and something far more valuable That item is... The... Coin case? How does an item that stores casino chips end up being "DEFENCE"? How?! I'm having a genuine crisis here, guys! The man who ran at me screaming didn't help. Made short work of him, as expected and... HE KNOWS [bleep] it, I'm done here! Time to enslave ELFs until it makes sense! But of course, I have no balls. Hugeballs. You know what I mean. Please tell me you know what I mean. The market stocks them. It also stocks nothing. So I enslaved more ELFs, including on that's literally harmless. And one that I thought was harmless, and is actually horrifyingly sadistic. This route also houses this guy, from the preview: After agreeing with his vile and lewd rant, he became much more lucid. As in, actual English. His wife was much more polite from the start. Apparently he's the train merchant. Normally I would protest, but that's just so cool. I mean, trains, right? I like trains. Anyway, back to grinding. And now I'm starting to suspect that the old man does not, in fact, sell trains. I feel cheated. She does have a starter, though, and a grass one at that. I like her already. She was the last COACH on that route, so I went north to grind more. And was promptly assaulted in a way that's hilariously inappropriate. He also wouldn't admit defeat. And in case you were wondering... The series mascot: PIKAQ Anyway, here's the gym that destroyed a million childhoods. Featuring the most helpful guide in the history of everything. Until he started to break the fourth wall. The generics were easy. The leader is the painful part. Aww, thanks! She seems very civil - almost pleasant! Not the kind of person that would attack people with a cow until they started to beg for mercy at all! I bet I won't even have to fight her! We'll have a tea party and bond over our mutual love of- Shit. THAT'S THE LAST TIME ONE OF THESE COACHES TRICKS ME! NO MORE! I'VE HAD IT WITH THIS GAME AND THIS CHAMPIONSHIP AND ESPECIALLY THIS FAIRY! That... That didn't amuse her. So she stopped being polite and attacked me with her pink murderdemon. I've got this. And on winning... ...I think I broke her. Excessively too what? Wait, I'm not crying. Who is she even talking to? Oh. So she just gives me the budge, just like that? Excuse me while I go cry. Oh, that's right. I'm not done here. Remember the TRAIN MERCHANT? Guys. I did it. I finally did it. After seven parts. I bred the grass elf. News at 11. [spoiler=NEXT TIME... ON POKEMON VIETNAMESE CRYSTAL] I get to... Wait, what? That's not- Oh. Here it is. [spoiler=The real one]

I was going to do that today, but time got away from me.

Granted. The moment never ends. You're trapped. I wish the police didn't steal my cake.

Granted. Her wishes have such far-reaching consequences that you wish you could have stopped it, and you end up repeating the same month over and over in a futile attempt to stop it. I wish for cake. Nobody can get mad at cake, right?

Especially when they're the demographic that the update is aimed at, and the ones who are directly impacted by it.

It's usually pale yellow and sweet-sour. I'm not really a fan. TNPW discuss dinosaurs at length.

You're wrong, because adults are heavily involved with the production of the cereal, if nothing else. The fact that other adults make questionable nutrition choices is another thing entirely. This is a post.

I actually kind of want to play a children's card game with Sliske now.

I think the pre-EoC power level of level 70 melee items was good, e.g. whip/ddef, barrows armour. But I don't think it's good that there is nothing at all at levels past 70, so there should be some upgrades. Not necessarily huge upgrades like chaotics, but some nice things anyway.Which is why I keep pushing for higher tier items to be more accessible (or at least, not blatantly and intentionally inaccessible): it gives them an excuse to upgrade everything else.

Granted, they're stolen and immediately taken by the police as evidence. I wish for the ability to steal wishes, without the corruption that follows.

Banned because they do. It's so horrible, in fact, that even you are left sickened by it, but your own wish prevents you from atoning, as your actions would have started the process to create perfectly reasonable, non-intrusive, and (most importantly) effective systems to take their place. Sadly, few mainstream publishers feel safe releasing products without the insurance them, so digital media as a whole suffers. I wish for a better wish than this one.

You should try Dark Souls.

If I had remembered, I would have given it Pokerus. I'll just give you that and an imposter one sometime in the near future. :wall:

So I got two Dittos. Do you want one with imposter or does that not matter too much?

Ditto catching time, then.

Why is her head disproportionately large?

You have no way of knowing how accurate that is.

BRB learning how to Nex

This. Holy [bleep] that's scary, and I'm not even afraid of clowns.

NOPE. Nopenopenopenopenope. And did I mention the nope? Oh good, it's not on the page anymore.

Prayer drain. On that note, will this update finally fix Akrisae's Mace? It's had bugged stats since the beta.

That problem is a bit deeper than the EoC, really. It's one thing for all items to have equal stats and another for the methods of obtaining them to be equal. For skills alone you need 95 fletching to make a level 60 shieldbow but only 90 slayer to get the T70 one, while 93 crafting lets you make both T90 ranged power armor and T65 ranged tank armor, and at 90 smithing you can make the full T85 melee set but only the medium helm from the T50 set. Meanwhile, you only need ~120 combat to start getting T70 equipment for every style from the barrows, and you don't really have to replace that unless you want to.

This?

Would I be wrong in saying that "degrade to dust" would be a great mechanic to have on quick and easy to obtain high level gear? Say, let players use their port resources to make a version of ports armor that doesn't last very long, but also has lower requirements to make and are tradeable, while the versions made with trade goods are permanent (Though could still require some kind of upkeep), untradeable, and could have a set bonus to further differentiate them from the inferior version. The idea is that you're supposed to use the weaker version until you have the levels or resources to make the stronger one, since most players are going to get high combats before they get high skills. Then they could actually start balancing the game for higher level equipment (I know, Jagex balancing the game, but hear me out), since those tiers won't be limited to only a handful of billionaires. As it is, we've got a massive amount of power creep based on the fact that we have T90 weapons and power armor, but everything that isn't a boss (and even several bosses) are meant to be somewhat easy if you have T70 and momentum. You could make the game "harder" without making it any less accessible, and probably make skilling relevant again if you tie these new items to it (If you want an example of how not to make skilling relevant, look at this month's BtS). Of course, we'd still have to deal with the fact that Jagex has no idea how to balance anything (I'm going to keep bringing up that damn exponential curve in item stats until I quit), but it's something. And of course, before I'm burned at the stake as a heretic, the point here isn't to replace endgame bossing as much as it is to bridge the gap between it and normal combat.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's sick of all of this "high level" content. I'll be excited for it when we get some content - any content - that isn't atrociously balanced.
