Does Torag's really drain adrenaline now? Did Karil's or any other set effects change? Do Karil's or Ahrim's set effects work with their new dual wields?

Okay so my friend uploaded the client to his server, I downloaded and started playing. Everything was good for a bit before I started DCing just the same... And now I've crashed from client. It opened up the error game crash as a new browser tab.

Well the client isn't even available in my area. So like WTF...

I haven't. I'm reluctant to use a different browser or client because all of my stuff is already set up in IE. I will try the client if this keeps happening past the next game update assuming no one has another solution, though...

Reeaaally starting to make the game unplayable. I can go maybe 30 minutes without anything happening, or not even 5 seconds (of recovering from a disconnect, then disconnecting again). I either disconnect then reconnect after a few seconds or crash entirely either with an all-black screen or error_game_crash screen. Oddly, crashes seem to be getting more common. I never used to have these problems. I've updated Java, did a full scan of my computer, and switched between different graphical settings with no results. My friend is experiencing the same, but not as consistent problems running Chrome while I have Internet Explorer.

Obsidian armor for melee Ganodermic please.

More DG bloom madness

Sorry... I didn't watch the livestreams, but just from the newspost and what you said I assumed the worst - that this was a way to write them off, so to speak, to get them off JaGEx's "to-do" list while still making them (the Eastern Lands) seem significant (which is not to say that POP won't be significant, but that an entire newly-themed landmass would be far moreso). It's hard not to be pessimistic with all of the unfulfilled (I'm reluctant to say failed) promises of future content I've heard about over the various years.

I was surprised they put a mention of eastern lands in the BTS...unless they suddenly changed their minds (which I very much doubt), we won't be seeing any bit of the eastern continent, it's just the lore explanation where the sailors in your POP get their materials from... ...Right, so why would that not warrant mentioning? I guess he means in terms of mentioning the Eastern Lands at all, players are going to inevitably read too much into it and expect an actual new landmass. I'd bet my life savings on there being at least one thread on the RSOF complaining that Jagex lied to them about the Eastern Lands when the real problem is they don't know how to read. I'm really not sure what you're on about. The Eastern Lands most certainly originally were supposed to be a new landmass. Seeing as how this is the first mention of them in quite a while, it sounds like they've been relegated to be conveniently "tied off" as the backstory for ports, in which case anyone who remembers the original announcement does have cause to be disappointed.

What about the photobooth near the makeover mage? If everyone uses their POHs the sizes may be unstandardized which just means more work for you..

Switched to DirectX not expecting the Bloom + AA problem to be fixed. To my surprise it is and in fact bloom on DX is ridiculous! Plus pretty water!

Nope! I got a tad nostalgic so I decided to run around stabbin shit in DG for a final fun run with current combat. Also Flameburst is kinda screwed up, lol...

Bored on beta. EoC hurry up!!

I don't think there is a good solution for GWD equipment... They don't wanna just give the strength/damage bonuses back. Simplifying armor was kind of the point to begin with, and if they give damage bonuses to what is essentially mid-level armor they'll have to give them to anything they release higher than that. It's just me, but I really wish they'd allow Dragon and other exclusive equipment to be upgraded to be much higher level, with the upgrade components coming from appropriately high level activities.

Alright, so 1H DG weapons are not balanced to be equal to 2H ones, and people hunt on W114? Thanks guys :) I am going to get a kite though. What 1H weapon should I use with the kite? I'm curious as to whether even Primal Dagger will be good in EoC, due to the supposed balancing.

Sorry, I see there are tons of topics on EoC-DG but none really had what I wanted. I'm wondering, are 1H weapons in DG balanced to be as strong as same-tier 2H weapons without the additional power added by off-hands? Say on the surface, 1H + OH = 2H. In DG, however, since there are no off-hands, do 1H = 2H? Regardless of the above, what 1H weapon(s) are best? I assume it's all about speed since battleaxes are equal to warhammers and rapiers to longswords... Perhaps even meaning dagger is best. Similarly, does it really matter whether I get a spear, 2H, or maul? I'd really like to get a spear since it's been terrible for so long but looks so awesome. So really I suppose my question is are all Primal weapons practically equal now other than cosmetic differences? I'd like to know so I can get some hunting done before EoC. Speaking of, where should I go to find other people to hunt for T11 drops? Is there a chat dedicated to this?

Just felt the need to add that last I checked, the obsidian maul is equal to D2H/Halberd/Spear, with crush. Obsidian weapons are old, yes, but perhaps they'll release more mauls to fill in the gaps. There's actually a huge amount of predefined weapons for them to make now. 1h/off-hand/2h very fast/fast/average stab/slash/crush/thrown/arrow/bolt at tiers 10/20/30/40/50/60/70/80 for just melee/ranged... Not really sure how magic weapons differ from one another lol. I suppose they could release staves that help with specific elements. These could all be neatly arranged in a table..

Why are Torva/Pernix/Virtus all falling? Especially in light of JaGEx's refusal to return GWD to tier 75? For one I thought at least Virtus would rise quite a bit being the cheapest while it'll be equal to the others anyway, like Arcane did (slightly) compared to the other Spirit Shields. I know the prices are dictated by style preference but I figured prices for all three would meet somewhere in the middle. Not to mention the fact that multicombat everywhere means Barrages will be godlier than they are now.

wait, you're blaming jagex for putting die in the game when it was intended as a simple tool? meanwhile, gambling groups latch onto any randomized element in the game as a staging device and were the key instigators of the phenomenon and you're still here blaming jagex for the die It's not necessarily JaGEx's fault, I'll agree, but did you ever see people gambling BEFORE Faruq? The expansion as such is their fault, though. Rather than quell it earlier they've done small patches here and there and given some short winded speeches discouraging it...

Just to be clear, whether you agree with it or not doesn't matter. The law says you account, and everything related to it, belong to them under intellectual property laws. Quite simply, Jagex own the entire game, and your account and all it's items and levels and whatnot, are part of that game, which they own in its entirety. You do not own your gold any more than you own any game you buy on steam (and if you didn't know that you don't own the games you buy through steam, then surprise!). This is quite true. The person who buys gold doesn't own it anymore than who they got it from. The gold in question never left JaGEx's game because it's intangible and confined to the game, and thus ownership of that gold never shifted from JaGEx. It's technically impossible to sell or buy RSGP. Not a single GP has ever been sold. What is being sold is whatever time/effort was spent stockpiling that gold into one place, which is also technically intangible but isn't owned by JaGEx.

Robes of Subjugation have no real niche due to Gano above and Ahrim's/Akrisae's at the same level, correct? I only had them for looks to begin with, but even those are messed up and J seems reluctant to address graphical glitches at the moment...

What are the roles of dual wielding/2h weapon/1h and shield intended to be? Do the roles change depending on the triangle? I assumed dual wielding is better against 2h weapons, 2h weapons are better against shields, and shields are better against dual wielding of the same style.

They're level 85 tier armor, above Nex sets, so they wouldn't suck even if they couldn't actually be used for hybriding. Of course, there's no telling if much easier to get level 85 or 90 tier armor will be released with Player-Owned Ports. Does anyone know if Void/Hybrid kept its hidden % bonuses? I feel like I've asked before... Also... Not sure if worth doing for real. I certainly hope they'll be offering another refund since Berserker doesn't affect PBA.

Good! So Hybrid sets are for hybriding again? And weren't completely forgotten?? Also nice to see they finally have dragonhide boots. (Ranger on northern stand)

I know it's not finished, but I'm just ready for it to be here already. Combat on both live and beta has felt so pointless knowing the EoC was impending. Maybe when EoC is no longer in beta they'll be quicker to fix all of the small issues that make the game feel so broken on the whole...
