Take that, to those who think that Nomad's Requiem fail because of length :cool: Our issue was that they went back on what they had said previously that GM quests were gonna be special quest that would be long, difficult, and plot heavy/ They have since changed their position on this. I'm upset not because they went back of what they said or anything like that. I think they had a great opportunity with GM quests and I think they have comopletely squandered that opportunity for some special.

Lemme sum up the blog. We're doing more GM quests. They're not going to be special, just another quest difficulty level. They're also not going to have high requirements for a long time. Sorry for the disappointment.

WTF? How many blogs do they need to do in a day?

They were stupid to say they were comparing the SoL to something like a GS because that meant people would think that they should be equally difficult to get. Jagex not only shoots themselves in the foot, they walk around in trash with the infected wound then pour salt on it.

This is not a nice move. This is not some oversight in an update, this is not some correction to an update that people will complain about. This is a methodical, planned update that they have given the go ahead for. This is now, without any argument against it, a systematic shift of their game from what it was to what they want it to be. I'm just not sure what they want it be yet, but to be honest, it concerns me. If you like where all this is heading, it's great. If you don't, it's kind of scary. I myself am in the latter.

Actually the first thing I'll do is the Circus for that week. That'll be mad exp and it'll take like 5 minutes, then I go a Summoning.

Well, you get 1.1 after 10 so still not bad considering it's for free. I'm getting 83 Summoning, then I'm gathering Abyssal charms for making Lava Titans for that weekend. Then I'll go run the Agility Course.

Drive on the wrong side of the road? I would enter, but the chance of winning is like winning the lottery, and i'd much rather keep my luck for said lottery. No, I convinced one of the members of the Royal Family to go to a party dressed up like a mock Nazi. It didn't turn out well and he said I'd never be allowed back in. :unsure:

I'd love to go, but I don't think I'm allowed back in England ever since the "incident." -.-

Actually Dan I think it pretty much confirms that we won't get the new skill before this.

Me as well. Would feel better getting more Blue Charms though so I don't run out. Are Gargoyles the best droppers or what else is? If anyone is planning on doing the same... you might wanna buy your seconds now. I just bought 2k Earth Talismans, but I'm sure they'll be bought out soon enough. Yeah, from my experience Gargoyles always dropped a lot of Blue Charms. I still have around 1220 blues in bank because I was saving them for higher level training. Still, I'm uneasy. It's hard not to think that they have some ulterior motive here.

I'll be puchmaking like a mother****er.

I wonder if they're gonna run another Strange Power thing on the weekend so they're trying to max the people on when it happens?

But but but but but but why...? We all like a little extra experience, but what the hell is this? Weekends are already crowded enough on the weekend, do they want extra people to log on? I want to know why they're doing this. Maybe I'm looking a gifthorse in the mouth, but this is completely out of left field.

You could be onto something here, I remember when Jagex were releasing POH, they said we'd all have POS (Player Owned Shops), I think it's still in their news archive as well. I think they said at some point that POS eventually became the exchange. pos+the already existing ge would be pointless No they didn't. In fact, after the Grand Exchange came out they said that they were still looking at Player Owned Shops in some fashion, but that they were impossible under the (at the time) current engine. POS are unnecessary, would take a lot of time, and also take up a crapload of memory. They could improve POH instead which would be a lot more worthwhile.

Fixed. How do you know I got Kokomo neutered yesterday? :eek:

lol they've always worshiped guthix ;) Are you serious? I've never knew that. :blink: I dont think they have actually. Dont they practice ancestorworshipping? I'm not sure about ancestors, but I think they do 'follow' Guthix, just not very active. They acknowledge Guthix is 'the best' God but in daily life don't really depend on him but rather on themselves. It can be seen in the split of the Fremennik with the Moon Clan, because of a disagreement over the runes Guthix placed on GIelenor. They know of many Gods, although follow none, with Guthix a bit above the rest because he shaped the world. At least that's what I make of it all. If it turns out to be a minigame I'm gonan be miffed.

I don't trust the public image of Jagex. They appear to have no control over what they implement in their game if their image is based on the whole truth. They appear to have no in-game understanding, and no control over the probably effects of updates. It would be complete haphazard luck that runescape is still even about. No, I think " we never intended it that way" is a very convenient excuse for avoiding the fact that you made a massive mistake. Jagex have a history of not admitting to major mistakes, with a few exceptions. It's just too convenient. Had they said what they intended before it all went wrong, that would be something completely different. going by "your personal relationship" with a Mod, he/she han no clue about the disabilitiy issues. Luckily, some mod must be understanding what he/she is doing, and ensuring that things are done mostly right. Just look at some of the Q&A answers on the effect of merchanting clans and their price manipulation "that isn't manipulation at all". I will not argue against the idea that Jagex is filled with a fair amount of ignorance. I would simply like to say that in my opion it's mostly innocent ignorance. As far as that "relationship," I'm merely friends with a Mod who has been there for a long time and I've known for a long while as well, since Classic at least. I broached the subject and he told me that they were caught off guard by the response of the Fire Cape stuff. They thought it fit in well. They realyl didn't think that disabled, connectivity, etc would be an issue people would fuss about. I'll grant you that you'd have to have a certain amount of foolishness at this point to think that. He also said that if they changed it, which at the time we spoke wasn't decided, that they *knew* what the backlash would be then. Now as anyone on here will tell you, I don't trust Jagex as a whole, but for this Mod, I believe what he tells me when he gives his opinion. So disabled people have not been able to complete jad for years but no ones cares until now. Sounds like greed is a major motive here. A compromise I couldve lived with, is having different animations for jads attacks and/or not letting him attack you till hes visible on the screen. Yeah. Well, it was just one of those things that I knew I'd never be able to do. I don't have a problem with it. I have no problem missing bits of content like that, but when they are chaining up content I could do on one thing I can't, then yeah, it can be a little weary. So unless I find someone I can completely trust, and willing to break one of their rules, something I dn't mind actually, and let them do a few things for me I can't, I won't be doing Jad, Nomad, etc. for a while.

To many of you who are replying: I maintain what I said in my first post: there are proxy arguments that are the root of the whole discussion. This is not really about being able to kill the icye wyrm or not, it's about the direction Jagex are moving in. that's what terrifies people: the fact that the gameplay they enjoy the most might not be the type of gameplay that Jagex intend to focus on in the future. It's so much more important to those with higher levels, as they are the ones with most time invested in the game, just as pkers are the ones with most time invested in pvp-style activities. This argument is about something bigger than the icy wyrms: it's about what some deem their right to participate in all content because of skill levels, where others feel that quests and other requirements should be a prerequisite to many things. If the new kingly implings (which are arguably very profitable when you come across them on your travels accross Gielinor) required a quest, I bet there'd be the exact same uproar, maybe even more if it was related to the more common dragon imps. this issue is so important to so many people because they're talking about a single issue, and thinking about the future of the game, and large new portions of game-content. That's threatening if you have 200+ days of ingame time. From what has been said, Jagex never inteded this to be an issue where you had to do extra content to access some skill based content. They simply thought that the fire and ice elements fit is cosmologically. You people are making giant mountains out of molehills. Also, you people clearly have no idea what the actual basis for the compromise was. You simply want to blame the "whiners." Did the "whiners" get what they wanted? Yes. Were the whiners the reason for the change? No. People aren't mad that the whiners got their way. They're mad that they didn't get their own.

Or... let them do their compromise and everyone stop complaining about it and go back to Slaying?

A: That is an interesting idea and something we might consider in the future. :)

I always leave sound and music off. As do I. Sorry Jagex, but until your audio is good enough to make me turn off my Beach Boys, Johnny Cash, Billy Joel, etc you'll never see me worrying about the music and sound effects.

some improvement is better than no improvement though? giving in and giving up helps nothing and nobody. It helps me enjoy myself by not worrying about stuff so much. :)

the audio team is involved in every piece of content that goes live. You can fish for information on every single topic within the game. How can that be something people don't care about? Because if you fish for information, your question won't be answred. Yeah, their involved, but it's like trying to get information on a new car by asking the guy responsible for making the door handles.
