You sound like a small child. Agreed. Howbadisbad clearly did not understand the significance of this update. If he had taken to the time to skim through this thread, he would be singing a different tune.

And the RSOF'ers continue to pour into TIF.

This. Fire cape businesses are very prominent. If they tampered with your account in any way other than the fire cape, they'd be a lot less prevalent, for obvious reasons.

Couldn't get any of the three that I wanted, so I'm sticking with the one I have now.

For all we know it actually may be. The engine may not be able to create decimals in the damage system which will show for the players, hence why for all this time they have been rounded down. Yeah, that's what first came up in my mind, but I'm sure they've done harder things like going from classic to this, and completely changing engines. To me, it seems lazy on their part, as if they just didn't want to spend time doing this. Sort of like the blog for the audio team how they mention they don't want to do updates that take longer than a day. They should know people would prefer that, so in my eyes, it seems lazy. For me, personally, numbers with decimals look messy, unlike numbers such as 100 or 547. EDIT: Aside from that, 100 is shorter than 10.0.

Hahaahaahaha

I really hope you're right about that. I can see it happening, too, as the little update to iron will allow lower level players to get their hands on it more easily. EDIT: Also, am I the only person who is reminded of Yu-Gi-Oh every time he hears life points? YOU'VE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD. YOUR BLUE EYES ULTIMATE DRAGON IS OBLITERATED, KAIBA. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Then my last question would be: what are the negatives, exactly, besides that it's different? How does this update affect the future of Runescape for the worse, despite the inevitability of armors and weapons that are able to combat the flawed combat system? I'll have to read your response in the morning, as I'm desperately in need of sleep. Goodnight.

So you're opposed to change, essentially. Okay, I can understand that, even if I don't agree with it. My problem with your reasoning is that it doesn't take into account the positives or future implications of the update. You haven't said anything about the more accurate hit readings, the possibility of armor/weapons/potions/etc that could affect Constitution, such as armor that increases it, thereby increasing your max possible life points, or weapons that decrease it, making your opponent unable to heal up to their max possible life points. Those are just two examples, of course, but I hope you see what I'm getting at. I think it's naive to assume that Jagex did this arbitrarily or with the intention of being "hip" or "current" with other MMOs.

Does that mean you'll now attempt to provide an actual argument?

well this is TIF. you mess around with the bandwagon, and they'll just get you. its like taking cubs from an angry mother bear. The problem is that you haven't provided a good reason why the update is bad. There have been many posts providing examples of why it's a great update, especially in regards to future content, so what you need to do is explain why that's wrong and why/how the old system is superior.

You probably could have been done by now.

Quite the mystery. I love it when Jagex does stuff like this.

Why?

I agree, and I think the Strange Power area might be released soon, hopefully providing those items. It concerns me that half the people commenting on it don't see a damn thing except what Jagex said about the low levels. Read the last paragraph and think for more than 2 seconds. The possible applications of this change are staggering and, while it will take some getting used to, this will open up whole new elements to the game. Could have been done without adding another zero to everything. You are the one who thinks too simply. no u

It's kind of cool in that it's a nifty chunk of experience that you can get over and over again in various skills. EDIT: I wonder if you get different replica parts of the statue the more times you complete it, the end reward being the completed statue for your POH. Maybe it has some sort of bonus.

I don't think melee really needs attack or strength bonuses on the full slayer helm. Melee is already superior to use while slaying, and +3 for range it's totally insignificant. It's really only useful for mages, and that's a stretch.

Make the noobs happy because the 0s hurt their feelings. No really, its that levels 1-20 will be seeing more updates because of independent testing conducted by behavioral physcologists to help Jagex recruit more players in the 8-14 age group. However, older players may find that they only spend several hours at this level and not appreciate the subtle brillance and complexity of updates that add 0s to the numbers flashing on the screen. You know, for someone of your level and experience, I would think that you would understand the significance of the hitpoints update. It concerns me that you don't.

LoL agreed i logged on looking at my hp and being like "wtf?" then i read this update about how hitting high is cool and how they go and rename a skill and try to make it less confusing which inturns only makes it more confusing because your used to the other way. Be prepared for more skill name c hanges i guess. This guy wins two RSOF reward points, which can be redeemed to unlock CRUISE CONTROL, making all of your posts look much more FURIOUS and SERIOUSLY SRS BSNS. They should give you 2 reward points for being an excellent Troll. Apparently everyone who disagrees with Jagex updates must be an RSOF actually most of those people suck up to Jagex if there is alot of people complaining about it on RSOF then there must be something wrong with the update because i usally get told off when i disagree. Actually, I'm just making fun of you because you lack imagination and have apparently neglected to consider the implications of this update before you posted. There's a difference between disagreeing with an update based on logical conjecture and disagreeing with an update out of ignorance of what that update entails. FYI, using the RSOF as the basis for your argument is so funny that I can't even think of a clever retort.

So much for tip it not having any RSOF'ers.... :thumbdown: I lol'd.

There isn't a real immediate effect, but it has huge implications for future content.

Join the fight, we shall kick RSOF's arse back to oblivion. I did so much fighting over the strykewyrms update that I just can't bring myself to look at the RSOF anymore than I have today. I really don't think Jagex will be going back on this one. The best way for them to quail the rants right now is to immediately release armor or weapons that utilize the new Constitution skill.

Just looked at the RSOF. It's like a nuclear warhead went off in there. I think this is one of those updates where Jagex is probably sitting in their chairs and laughing at the RSOF rather than taking notes.

The CC I normally reside in is flooded with complainers. WAI DA JAMFLEX CHAGE DA HPEE?!11? WOW RS BCOM SHT 2DAY SCRW DIS
