  1. Another thing is that you should have a 3:1 ratio of brews to super restores both in your inventory, and in your familiars inventory. The kyatt is also only good with its scrolls, about 40 should be plenty. Your left-click familiar option should be set to "Take-BOB" when you summon the kyatt switch it to special attack. Spam away.
  2. Monster that dropped Clue: Jungle Strykewyrm Level of Clue (If 100% known): 4 Clue Hint (With picture): This scroll will work on the Fremennik Isles of Jatizso and Neitiznot. Orb scan range: 16 paces. Where to solve Clue (With Picture): I'll work on uploading one a tad later, the solution for mine was near the dock on Jatizso. Additional information if needed:
  3. Paw claw is wrong. I'm 99 attack, defense, hp and 97 strength. I recently meleed nomad in karils. If you get low on brews, you can just hide near the pillars and log. Meleeing him was simple. 10 or so brews left, I used a kyatt when tort was done.
  4. Well, we do have a sun, you can see it in the sextant.
  5. That's all that I could ask for. Arguments retracted.
  6. I know they disabled Ghrim for now, I got 65m from mtk after 1-2 weeks, went to check for clues as well and boom.
  7. The new god books have just defensive stats, all offensive stats are lower than zamorak book.
  8. Yes, I thought that so too. New emote enhancers at lower levels were my guess, but I wanted to make sure this was still speculation. Yes, if it was true, it would be better just to hold off on these for now.
  9. I am a little to, but it is out of my control so it doesn't bother me too much, but that is me personally. I assure you however, that there are a few users here who do just assume Jagex are idiots unfortunately. Well those posts provide much needed humor :mrgreen:
  10. We do realize that Dan, we aren't calling JaGex stupid, well I'm not. We're just frustrated is all.
  11. That's what I thought, I'd think that it would be true, but haven't see it announced.
  12. Engine update was delayed. They are releasing the TT update with the old engine this week. Right but sad conclusion. Apparently some of the rewards needed that engine update, so now they're going to take those rewards of the list. Tomorrow's update is Treasure trails part 1.5 then? This is getting familiar. :rolleyes: If they needed another week to fix it, they should take that week and finish it, this is ridiculous. Can you cite that source? I can believe that, just I didn't see that post which had that in it. I'm probably missing something obvious though, thanks.
  13. Just FYI they also said that we would never go two weeks without updates, but here we are :wink:
  14. How about you state the subject, object and reasoning for your objection? All you have done is post a knee-jerk response with nothing to back it up, simply because it does not align with your personal viewpoint, which to someone who IS educated both in logic and writing is nothing more than an ad-hominem attack based on non-existent arguments with no foundation. Suzanne, I'm not stonewall, but I'll try to convey what a similar message. You may have had some speck of truth in your behavior statement, but I'll rephrase it with what I learned. I was taught that when conveying a point which may be taken badly, two things matters: subject matter, and articulation. In this case, the subject matter is fine. The articulation is not fine. The point is articulated with an insulting and condescending voice. You assume that those who found it insulting, were in turn offended by it. That truly would be immature, I found the article insulting, but I also laughed when reading it. My problem is that the article was written, seemingly, with the intention to incite a negative response. That is what I object to. Your mention of celebrated authors reminds me of an old English teacher who frequently reminded students that we were not celebrated authors, there's a reason they write like that and you don't.
  15. It is not logical. Being efficient isn't logical. Being efficient can be someones wish in which case it is very understandable they try to be efficient. There is a difference between being understandable and logical. I'm not saying the OP is wrong or evil or anything, I'm just saying you shouldn't call it logical. He desires to be efficient, therefore his actions are logical. It isn't the efficiency that makes it logical, its a reflection of his own desires which he is achieving in a way that makes sense.
  16. Dan let me make this clear. This has been my main point, but you dodge it and don't comment on it. What bothers me is how she articulated her point by insulting others. I find this to be completely unreasonable. Your defense of which was to say that I had no right to tell her that it shouldn't be an argument. It is my belief that you shouldn't write on a topic which you have an opinion if you cannot do so kindly. But the article is fraught with insults and sarcasm. I object to this. You're the one who is starting these long drawn out arguments without contributing anything thoughtful. I recognize her opinion is different, Dan, you're missing the point. And you're right, just because someone writes something on a thread doesn't mean they can't write an article about it. But they can sure as hell do that kindly. There is a difference. I would like to add that on top of that, the article was on a matter which Racheya said was stupid to argue over. Yet that's exactly what the article has caused.
  17. Once again, you're biased. Her opinion aligns with yours. I thought I was clear, I will write an article. I will. Stop saying I won't. Furthermore, since when is critiquing someone bad? This is a discussion forum. We're discussing it. Are we not allowed to post if our opinion differs from that of the writer(s)? You miss the point once again Danny, this article was written in lieu of a discussion on the subject. There was a place for such discussion which serves as just as positive a place as an article. Yet when we display our opinions on the article, you say we can't as we're not willing to write an article. A flawed and misguided statement which I will discount as a 'null point'. I invite you to show me an article which has incited as much negative comments as this has, until then that's a null point. Just because someone doesn't have the same view as you, doesn't mean that you need to insult them in your article. You don't seem to get that. The article frequently insults the reader if they are of a certain belief! Hah! That's the very definition of a bad article! It isn't accessible to others because it clouds it's own argument through insults, which is what I said originally.
  18. Why do articles like this not deserve to be on the times? If you have ideas for articles, by jove please say! Please try yourself coming up with ideas for articles for a year then we will see how many 'original' ideas you can come up with. Criticising a public articles topic when you are not prepared to do it yourself is a null criticism. Good articles imo. I agree with the slayer one, but I am one of the shrinking group of players not concerned in the slightest with efficiency and just playing the game to waste time and have fun. They don't deserve to be on the times because the article in question, Racheya's, was her direct response to a forum argument. Where the exact same insults where used, and answered. Rather than glean anything from this, Racheya chose to portray those complaining in a negative light. Frequently calling them kids and making further over generalized. In a sense, it was just trolling. I have an idea for an article, a rebuttal to the point offered by Racheya. Oh wait, there's already a thread for that, created before the article was even written. It was not a reply to a thread but a view of the discussions on this forums and other forums. To somebody who had no read the thread, it would not force them to read it to know background, it does not direct them to said thread, it does however display her views towards the views other people have. That is the whole point of an article. Roughly, all an article needs to be is somebodies view on something else, written to a good standard. She stated an overview of many peoples view of the delay and then her own view. A discussion on a forum is exactly that, a discussion. It looks to me as if the reason you have difficulty seeing its validity as an article is because it goes against your own point of view you have stated in the threads she gives an overview of. As stated before, I think it is safe to say the editorial panel would welcome articles from all of you whatever the viewpoint, as long as you write of a good standard. If you are not prepared to show your own viewpoint in an article, you shouldn't say somebody elses viewpoint isn't worth writing an article on. Dear Dan, I would be willing to write an article, when did i say I wouldn't? I can say whatever I want, I think her viewpoint was used to troll others. That's my opinion, if you want an article about the reasons why I think that, I'd be more than happy to oblige. Since Racheya said in PM that arguing was useless regarding this, I'm not surprised this turned into an article. After all, if you aren't willing to argue with someone( or groups of people), then writing an article in a condescending nature is the way to go. I am available for such articles, and I can be extra extra condescending, I promise! Once again, you are making presumptions regarding my stance on a variety of issues. Which is depressing, don't judge me too early Dan! I had to lump myself with the complaining crowd because I felt it was unfair to criticize them. A feeling which, according to Racheya's article, is likely because I'm a little kid who likes shiny things. I generally don't like being insulted. I don't think its my stance on complaining, which I find to be equivalent to unequivocal praise in terms of annoyingness, that makes me upset by the article. It probably had something to do with the insults. Actually, I think you're a little mistaken. You say that I'm questioning the articles validity as an article. On the contrary, I admit it's an article, it just shouldn't be. You're correct in stating that the article doesn't require knowledge of the thread, if you had read the thread then you would know the insults that Racheya has used previously. Including, calling people ,with a valid opinion, whiners, little kids, and lovers of shiny things. Oh and pointless. Well Racheya, if that thread is pointless, and your article is based, in its entirety, on said pointless thread... Well I shouldn't have to do the math, as you pointed out, I'm probably just some little kid. Hey wait a minute, Danny, didn't you post on that other thread? Didn't your view pretty much agree with Racheyas? It seems silly to question my renunciation of the article, when we could easily question your approval of it. Confirmation Bias?

  20. Racheya, god-forbid we complain on a fansite. Despite countless posts by me and others, it seems you still don't understand why we were upset in the first place. Rather than ask further questions on a thread devoted to the subject, you decided to write an article effectively blasting those who were upset.Your writing is petty and written with the intent to just add flames to a fire that is all but extinguished. You needlessly insult those who have a contrary opinion which, if anything, detracts from your point. Why continue this argument anyways? You said it yourself, "The update will be out soon." So stop this silly rant and just wait for the update, that will surely silence JaGex's critics, your article does the opposite.
  21. About equal to what a update usually gets by this time. People have as strong as feelings about the lack of an update as they do for released content. It's happened before.
  22. We can speculate and form reasonable conclusions. As such, it is not pointless. Such last minute testing is exactly what I was talking about, and why I advocate a month off.
  23. The update was ready... The graphics engine was not. I don't understand you. The update required a graphics engine update which didn't exist. Quality-Assurance should have gotten that, but since they are so rushed they didn't. I knew someone had suggested it earlier! Glad it was you, Pure. :mrgreen: Did you read the explanation? The QA team do not use computers which don't work with the update. The only fault would be that the managers had brought those certain computers for the QA team to use. But there is almost no way the could predict that they would need older and slower computers for one update a few years down the line. In no way has the workload of the QA team effected this delay. And bladewing, pages and pages and pages of complaining with no discussion does reflect badly on the forum and you are fooling yourself if you think it does not. Yes Dan, I read the explanation. Believe it or not, I believe that you should test all updates on a lower end computer before, oh I dunno, the Wednesday of the update week. Since you are not a member of the QA team, I'd question the veracity of that statement. It isn't necessarily the large amount of updates that need to be checked, more than a large amount of things that need to be checked in a small amount of updates. Dan, may I ask how this reflects badly on the forum? Just a little confused, as no doubt a forum with any form of opinion on it is objectionable, and thus reflects poorly upon the forum, to somebody.
