    It's a complete shambles at the moment, these weener whackers are actively going out of their way to ruin a lot of peoples leisure activity.  I'm not talking about the no-lifing RS'ers (they probably need a break), I'm talking about people like me, who work hard all day & come home to play RS for a couple of hours in the evening.

     

    RS is used as my personal chill-out time, giving me a much needed ability to de-stress from work pressures - hence I still play the game.

     

    I guess I'll just have to go & beat the kids...............................(joke!!)

    Ability Bar issues.

    in Help and Advice

    Posted

    Any idea how I get rid of the incredibly large 'description' that now appears whenever I go to click an ability on my bar?

     

    I've not chnaged any settings, but for some random reason every so often I get this ?

     

    I prefer to use the mouse to click abilities & as such the 'hovering' description is now a pain in the rear end.

    Any help on how to remove would be gratefully received !!!

    Araxxor, Twitch Integration and Lobby Update

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    In case you find it hard to read the OP.

     

    Araxxor, Twitch Integration and Lobby Update

    Araxxor is here, and he can't wait to tear you limb from limb in a solo or duo boss battle to the death!

    When we polled the sort of boss content you wanted earlier this year, the message was clear: there's nothing you like more than grappling with a beefy combat boss.

    Araxxor won't disappoint, as you choose your route through his lair, dodge hazards, and finally face the beast himself - on your terms.

    There are regularly shifting layouts to the lair, and loads of amazing rewards - including level 90 two-handed weapons and creepily cute spider pets.

    We've also integrated Twitch streaming into RuneScape, and spruced up the lobby.

    Read on to find out more, or log in now and head south-east of Port Phasmatys to the Araxyte Hive.

    Getting Started

    Get to Araxxor's home by heading south along the eastern coast of Morytania from Port Phasmatys.

    Once you're there, enter the Araxyte Hive and you'll find a webbed-over entrance to the boss-fight area.

    Click on it, and you'll have the option to enter a non-instanced version, or to create/join an instance. You can also limit the instance to just one person, if you wish, or set a pass number to restrict access.

    Note that only one person can enter the non-instanced version at a time, per world.

    While there are no hard requirements to enter the lair (except any imposed when starting an instance) it's strongly recommended that you have at least level 90 in each of your combat stats, and the best gear that gold can buy.

    The Fight

    As you battle Araxxor, you'll need to lure him through various areas of the Araxyte Hive. There are several routes to choose from - of which only some will available, changing every few days - and Araxxor will have different abilities depending on which route you take.

    Araxxor_News-28133930.jpg

    Araxxor's encounter is in your control - it's up to you how you choose to engage him. Moving through the paths and dealing with his mechanics will influence the difficulty and how the fight plays out. Experiment, and find your preferred spider-wrangling strategy.

    There's no keeping a big spider down, either - each time you defeat Araxxor, he'll come back bigger, badder and angrier than before, for the rest of that day. As such, defeating him several times in succession will become gradually harder. The difficulty resets at 01:00 BST.

    It'll also become significantly more difficult if you bring a friend - he'll be tougher, and his attacks will hit far harder. You'll need tight-knit teamwork to survive Araxxor's onslaught.

    Rewards

    First among the amazing rewards on offer are level 90 two-handed weapons for all three combat styles: the noxious scythe, noxious longbow and noxious staff. These monstrous tools of destruction are the finest of their kind and come with new special attacks - they look spectacular, too.

    You'll put them together by combining a spider's leg, plus one of three arachnid body parts received as rare drops.

    There's a terrifyingly cute spider pet too, also obtainable as a rare drop. Once you have it, you can unlock new versions the spider as well, by completing special achievements while fighting Araxxor solo. Click on the cocooned corpse outside Araxxor's lair to find out more.

    Both of these are part of a lucrative drop table - designed to be more rewarding even than the QBD. Taking down Araxxor is no mean feat, but it's certainly worth your while.

    Note that if you're fighting as a pair, you'll each get your own loot. There is no competition over drops.

    Enjoy!

    We can't wait to see you face Araxxor. To give you a chance to tackle him on your own, our wiki will include no detailed information on Araxxor's mechanics until the 11th of August 2014.

    Fight hard, and join the discussion on the forums.

    Twitch Integration

    With the release of Araxxor, we've integrated Twitch streaming into the RuneScape interface. With a click of a button, you can now broadcast your RuneScape experience on Twitch.tv, with no need to run anything else in the background.

    First, you'll need a Twitch account. Set one up - if you haven't already - and log into it via the Twitch tab in the Community interface.

    Then enter a stream title, select your stream resolution and bandwidth cap, decide whether you want a microphone and/or webcam enabled and you're good to go.

    The interface also allows you to quickly open the most popular RuneScape Twitch streams, and a new moveable window lets you chat with your own Twitch viewers while you stream.

    Be careful not to push your streaming settings too high for your connection and computer to handle. Try lowering your graphics settings and resolution if you have trouble.

    For help getting started, take a look at our video guide:

    Start streaming now, and have fun!

    Lobby Refresh

    The RuneScape lobby has received a fresh lick of paint this week.

    Firstly we've brought its visual style in line with the rest of the RuneScape website. It's bigger, clearer and more readable than ever before, with essential functions easily accessible. You can also nominate an additional favourite world.

    On log-in, you'll land on a 'welcome' screen, where you'll be presented with the latest and greatest RuneScape content - handy if you've been away from the game for a time.

    Let us know how you get on with the new, spruced up lobby system over on the forums.

    Boss Timer, Kill Counts and Legacy Mode Fixes

    Our deadly Ninja Team are hard at work on an awesome PvM update, where Death himself will offer Slayer-like tasks to take down some of Gielinor's toughest bosses.

    This week we've introduced the first parts of this update. There's an in-game timer to show how quickly you prevail during instanced boss fights, and we're starting to track kill counts of relevant beasties, which will be viewable in an interface once the main update hits the game.

    We've also released a batch of updates to Legacy Mode and the accompanying EoC improvements, in response to the feedback you've given us so far.

    Read on for more information, or log into RuneScape now.

    Boss Timers

    Upon entering an instanced boss fight, you'll now see a new, movable boss timer element in the interface. This will remain and keep counting up for as long as it takes the instanced boss to be defeated, and will announce the kill time in your chat box when it falls.

    Note that the timer will not appear if more than a certain number of players are in the instance. This differs, depending on the boss:

    • Giant Mole - 1
    • TzTok-Jad - 1
    • Queen Black Dragon - 1
    • Zilyana - 1
    • Graardor - 1
    • Kree'arra - 1
    • K'ril Tsutsaroth - 1
    • Har-Aken - 1
    • Legiones - 2
    • Araxxor - 2
    • Kalphite King - 3
    • Nex - 3
    • Barrows: Rise of the Six - 4
    • Vorago - 7
    Kill Counts

    Today, we've also added kill tracking of bosses and certain slayer monsters - listed below. You won't be able to see how many you've defeated until the full update arrives, but you can start racking up kills.

    Your boss kill count will affect certain reward unlocks in the future - get a head start now!

    • Giant Mole (normal and hard mode)
    • King Black Dragon
    • Barrows Brothers (normal and Rise of the Six)

    Legacy Updates

    Huge thanks to all of you who've given your feedback on last week's Legacy and EoC update.

    We're overjoyed to see so many of you enjoying the return of traditional combat and the global combat improvements, but we're well aware that there's still work to be done.

    All of your feedback has been read and taken into account. Last week, we fixed some of your most high-priority points - in particular, God Wars and Dagannoth Kings balance.

    As part of our ongoing work on Legacy and EoC, today sees another batch of post-release fixes and tweaks, including the following:

    • Minimap icons are now correctly sized in EoC mode.
    • Combat challenges can now be blocked at 138 combat level.
    • Flurry no longer deals magic damage when Korasi's sword is equipped.
    • The amulet of glory has been rebalanced, so the amulet of fury is the better choice - as it should be.
    • A number of outdated references to combat levels and life point values have been corrected.

    See the patch notes for full details of today's fixes, and visit this forum thread to follow our progress on known Legacy and EoC issues.

    Remember that this is just one part of our ongoing work on Legacy and the updated EoC system. Keep giving us your feedback!

    Enjoy!

    The future's bright for RuneScape warriors, so gear up and get into the fray. As always, let us know what you think over on the forums.

    I was so pleased to finally get this that I forgot to screenie.

     

    120Slayer_zps88d8eb53.png

     

    If anyone is interested, it took me 2957 Tasks (since Smoking Kills was launched & I was 88 Slayer at that time)

     

    Charm Count:

    Blues 14689

    Crims 71942

    Green 38532 **imp eats these

    Gold  36692 **imp eats these as well

     

    I will still keep slaying, 6.4m to go to 200m Str & then will Mage & Range Slay to get both of those to Lvl120.

    Would be a lot better if they got rid of the need for the Elf Crystal Amulet completely. Currently it's biased towards skillers, since PVM'ers and combat people need other ammies.

    you mean the 2.2% crit wasn't a moderate combat bonus to those hunting motherlode shards on slayer tasks? Why I never...

     

     

    Most of my slaying involves Demonhorn Necklace & Bonecrusher - so, in that respect, I agree with Yoko that it is slighly biased towards skillers.

     

    Bearing in mind I've got less than 4m xp to go for my 120 Slayer Cape I'm not changing how I slay to max the production of motherlode shards.
