Best thing to do would be to buy a month of members and give it a spin yourself :P EOC features changes to the combat system including the combat rebalancing of all gear, which enforces the combat triangle more strictly and places more emphasis on type-matching. RS07 commands about 40% of the online player base at any time, but you have to consider the botting population on both games. You will need P2P to play on RS07. If you return as F2P you should still be able to store P2P items in your P2P and F2P bank slots, unless those are already full.

If you've got a fair number of 10k captains already the speed cap shouldn't be an issue, but if it is you'd want to get the rudder. I did rudder -> hull -> one of each crew -> 4th ship, but last I read if you wanted to speed through you'd do rudder -> ship

Wait till Mod Michelle updates the hit chance entry to give the new calculation :/

From a quick couple of crits in DG, Torment appears to be working and giving a damage boost.
-
Because that's how it worked for a rather long time now – both before EoC (pretty much since guthans became widely available) and after. You do understand that one of the major points of EoC was to decrease afking and add more attention to game playing right? And yet we still have momentum to preserve the older methods of gameplay, don't we?

Keep in mind that those are values for tier 99 stats and gear, which don't exist at the moment.

Well, at least until people identify the setup that gives the best DPS :PA possible way around might be to incorporate some form of complementarity between abilities - maybe some added effects or special boosts that occur if two abilities that synergise with each other are used. For instance, they could make combust deal extra damage if the target is already under the effects of Slaughter/Frag shot, or make combust last 200% longer if cast when the target is under the effect of Incendiary shot. It would encourage more multiclassing within a team when bossing, at least.

The four most beautiful words in our English language: I told you so. I am just going to leave that here. Not only was my so-called diatribe completely vindicated, but apparently their incompetence managed to exceed any and all predictions. But, hey, what do I know? I'm just a bitter guy! :wink: Indeed you are a bitter guy, at least I didn't spend the week before the update whining and looking like a sore little boy on the forums throwing his weekly tantrum :P Look at how your post here reads too, puts you in such a good light!

FGU is speculating that the God Factions update will actually be the new skill. Not entirely sure about this as the first skill is expected to be a resource skill, but then again resource collection could be a rather vague term. Not holding my breath on this. If it does turn out to be the new skill, it will be purely P2P. [qfc]16-17-500-64952243[/qfc] Quote from Mod Osborne's RuneRadio interview (transcribed text at [qfc]16-17-429-64944778[/qfc])

Numerically Tetsu is about 25% better than Torva, which is the basis of most comparisons I've seen on the RSOF, but after you add the defence stats the difference drops to about 10%. I think Bandos might be a close substitute to Torva though, and the loss of its set effect also hurts it as a DPS set. Gloves and boots have definitely gone down because of the loss of the set effect.
-
Is that ... IE?

Now that you mention it, it'd be something to look forward to if the objectives are quite varied and contribute to something besides merely earning a t60 helm. A measure of how devoted you are to a faction through a point and ranking system would make it quite interesting and something to push yourself through, with of course harder objectives pushing you faster through the ranks (e.g. Initiate of Zaros, Knight of Zaros, Archon of Zaros etc.).
-
Hahaha, that crossed my mind briefly :P Most interesting thing is probably the farming update, would definitely like to see where they take Sara/Zammy brews with this. Looks like an interesting reward update as opposed to an XP update. But really, ranged slayer dungeon ... :c

Boosts from herblore potions mean slightly more than usual, because the extra attack and defence levels added each contribute exponentially more accuracy and defence points respectively. Besides that, other potion effects are pretty much still the same (+8 damage per strength level boosted). As for your next point, when Jagex is constantly making changes to the system that fundamentally change how combat and all its extensions work, don't you think that players just grow weary of having to relearn how basic aspects of the game work? I put on my completionist cape this week and found that it's actually reducing my total armour value because one of the devs thought it'd be funny to change how "All" class armour contributes to total defence ratings. It is undeniably frustrating to have to relearn what works and what doesn't, only to worry that it's going to go to waste the next time a system update timer pops up. Not sure how this relates to a mechanics update at all. Skillers still very much play the main version of RuneScape, and actually have benefitted from EoC content, such as the action bar for drop mining. If you're unhappy with the quality of arguments made, feel free to raise issues that you feel are the most important consequences of this update. I can't renovate a house on my own, but if I give input and feedback to a contractor on how I'd like it done and he does a poor job of it, I have every right to point out the poor quality of his work. Last I checked, we were on a fansite for RuneScape, a MMO that is specifically targetted towards a teenaged audience, and continues to draw from a mostly 18-25 university-going/graduate crowd, though it also boasts an older (though not necessarily more mature) player base, even including some 60 year olds as evidenced from a Runefest video. Perhaps you would do better to follow their lead, instead of making posts like these which add to the ongoing soap opera. Alternatively, make some constructive posts that delve into the meat of an update, rather than a tangential whine about skilling that carries a thick stench of arrogance and disconnection.

@Alg's article I freelanced for a while in world 42, since I much preferred just being able to jump into any scenario around me rather than applying for a fixed RP with a group/institute/family. It helps a lot more if you can further develop your own character before going into the world of RP, so that you can produce a believable character with consistency in his goals and responses to the world, which allows you to fit him in better than instead of trying to make up something on the spot. It's interesting also to see how everyone can be at each other's throats whilst in character, and then speak and joke well as soon as they go OOC. That's not to say that RP is without its kinks though, as you've seen yourself, or as I've seen from the demon-possessed-half-werewolf-vampyre I met at my first day in the Rising Sun (n.b.: the Rising Sun is not a good place to be). Despite that very strange incident, and several others, I've definitely had fun watching people play out their own stories, always sitting in the little table away from the crowd that lets me observe the development, and it definitely feels rewarding to be able to help others build on their story content. You should give it another try, and not as a spy next time ;)

4 jade merchants? Wait a minute, my bad, forgot you can clear 15 bamboo voyages in a day with even one ship ...

Currently going for 200k all resources and 250 all goods, as well as maxing out Meg :P

Progressed Meg to the stage where her examine text is now "An adventurer that makes you just a little bit proud." Now she seems to have lost her descriptive dialogue which tells you how far she's gone in the game (in her last examine stage, she had made it to the Champions' Guild).

Which? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAR_21 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AR-15

I thought we were discussing Langzor's point :P Sorry, I'll back out of here.

I've used a semi-automatic rifle before, but I preferred to ask you about the gun/spear/knife comparison. In my head it's much easier to kill a crowd with that rifle than a knife.
