    12-Apr-2010 - Dungeoneering Skill!

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    If your Slayer skill involves banking all your favourite equipment and inventory items in order to enter instanced slayer locations, using non-tradeable (but cool looking) armours, weapons, food, potions and summoning pouches to kill the monsters, and you don't get loot nor slayer EXP from the monsters directly except more non-tradeable food/potion to sustain your trip, but you get TOKENS based on how fast you took and average damage, and then you trade for EXP and abyssal whips which would be non-tradeable again, and returning all the non-tradeable equipment back once you're done..... :mellow:

     

    Talk about poor integration with other skill resources and draconian rules imposed to 'prevent' imbalance in the game.

    This pretty much hits the nail on the head.

     

    I think a lot of oldtimers are going to quit after seeing this -- probably myself included. Not out of outrage or anger, just because it is crystal clear that Jagex is taking RS in a direction very far from why many of us used to play it. The rewards from this "skill" are powerful enough that you'll be at a significant disadvantage if you don't get them, but the idea of spending several hundred hours in that hellhole -- especially "teamed" with groups of random morons -- is far more terrifying than any boss.

     

    Yep, that definitely describes me. I've been playing this game for 9 years now but over the last couple of years Jagex has been taking the game in a direction that I don't like and I have played less and less. This is the final straw for me now. I'm not going to train this skill and as I'm not going to, training the other skills seems rather pointless (especially Slayer) as I will be at such a disadvantage. So that's the end of RS for me. It was fun while it lasted.

    [bleep] you Jagex <_<

    I thought this started at 00:00am GMT between Friday/Saturday. I still have 150 5kg blocks of granite to cut into 500g blocks for my lobs. There goes double xp for crimsons... :(

    Don't suppose anyone would just happen to have 2k 500g granite blocks for sale? :unsure:

     

    Sorry but Jagex clearly said in their "Save the date" dev blog:

     

    When will this be happening?

     

    Between the hours of 12:00PM GMT on Friday 12th March and 12:00PM GMT Monday 15th March (so, all of that Saturday and Sunday). These times are a rough estimate, but we will put a news post out as soon as the event starts.

    I booted straight into HD with no problems, don't know what everyone else is doing wrong :blink:

     

    Good for you. RS worked fine for me before this update, in fact I was online. However as soon as I tried to get back on, loading up the game as normal it wouldn't work. I've now followed all of their advice and it still doesn't work. So I would love to know what I am "doing wrong". Please enlighten me.

     

    I can load the unsigned version in safe mode but why should I have to play that crap just because they broke the game to add some stupid implings?

    RuneScape was working fine before the update, now I can't get on at all. I get this error message, which I've never had before:

     

    Please read the following text to understand why you are seeing this page

    You are seeing this page because we could not load RuneScape on your computer. There are a couple of easy steps you can take to try and immediately resolve this:

     

    Create a new directory called c:\rscache or /rscache. If possible, set that directory to have full read and write permissions, so that all users can write to it. RuneScape should then detect that directory and use it for its files.

    Login to your computer as an 'administrator' user and then try loading RuneScape again. This should give RuneScape sufficient access to update itself.

    Upgrade to a newer version of Java by going to www.java.com and downloading and installing the latest version.

    If you are unable to complete any of the above, then you may continue to play the game in 'unsigned' mode.

     

    Loading and running the game 'unsigned' like this takes much longer, as it must re-download all the content every time you play; you will also be unable to use RuneScape's high detail graphics mode or use the in-game world switcher without reloading the game.

     

    To work around this, you may use this page to manually select a world and then load the game. Please be aware that loading the game from this page will always load the unsigned game, so you should only use this page if you really have no other option.

     

    For further help, please read this article, which can be found in the Customer Support section of our website.

    Sigh. Jagex cave in the whingers again.

    Closed mouths don't get fed.

     

    Those that are content with the food they have don't open their mouths. You can't expect people to go on the forums after every update, give Jagex a pat on the back and say "please don't change it". Jagex should have the courage of their convictions to ignore the minority of whingers and not dilute an update that was fine to begin with. At least something on this game should require an ounce of skill.

    99 Summoning (#18) + BOB

    in Achievements (Drops, Bank Pictures and Levels)

    Posted

    After two years of collecting charms, I have finally reached level 99 in Summoning. My special thanks go out to Bork, without whom this would not be possible.

    As promised, my BOB is below. I decided to just include my armour and a couple of other things. I always think BOBs look messy when they're full of random potions, runes, bolts etc.

    I have two remaining goals left in RuneScape; 99 Slayer and 99 Mining. I don't get that much time to play any more but I hope to have them by the end of the year. Thanks for reading. :)

    Jagex's World to Server Ratio

    in Rants

    Posted

    My connection isn't particularly great as I live in a rural area but there are always worlds with less than 40 ping, on a good day it's in the 20s on most European worlds. I never lag.

     

    Although I only live about 80 miles from Jagex HQ, for some reason the Dutch servers seem to have the lowest ping.

    I sold the few mints I had on the GE, they're dead as a merchanting item and they have no other use. The run energy update made them even more pointless than they already were; I can't think of any situation where having a mint is preferable to purple sweets or a super energy potion. 38k is over priced for how useless they are now so I can only see them going down in the long term.

    Farming

    No universal nerf. You just had bad luck.

    I never said anything about a nerf..........

     

    My whole point is farming level has nothing to do with yield rates.

     

    He has 95 farming, you have 87. He gets better yields than you do, and has higher farming.

     

    Your move.

     

    I have 22m farming xp, at least 15m of that is from farming herbs. Having a higher farming level has absolutely no bearing on your herb yield whatsoever. It's all luck.
