Did more testing :3 Mixed and matched armour pieces to produce sets of pure class armour. Took hits from Vyreladies, which are implied to be 700 accuracy and 70 Magic. With 701 Ranged class armour, I took 31/300 hits. With 700 Magic class armour, I took 113/300 hits. With 700 Melee class armour, I took 216/300 hits. Will do some mixed armour testing again in a bit.

Lol EoC

I did a bit of testing to try to gauge effective armour values because Jagex absolutely refuses to release proper stats for the equip interface. I tanked out vyrelords, because I'm lazy I used samples of 100 attacks (but will look into getting larger samples some other time). With a total of 799 armour, 722 from ranged class items and 77 from all class items, I took 20 hits from the vyrelords. With a total of 722 armour, purely from ranged class, I took 7 hits. What.

Blue dragonhide is becoming F2P, not sure how that will affect prices.

How the hell do you get stuff out of there with a business card? Doesn't it, like ... hurt? A lot?

I used to mega-nostalgia from the really old forum posts in News and Announcements, but unfortunately they scrapped that section from the RSOF :( This'll do though, pity that it doesn't go back all the way.

Oh yeah, on the topic of importing saves, whenever I do that I'm unable to wear my Completionist Cape. For some reason one task in the system gets undone and it's one of those annoying hidden ones :\

I think PoP will be as grindy as (pre-fix) Dominion Tower, as useful as 400 MA rank, as glamorous as Livid Farm, and in gameplay comparable to hunting the Thalassus. Yeah, thanks for derailing my pre-release excitement train :P I'm going to have this pessimistic view stuck at the back of my head now @@@@

This is what I'm talking about. Small issues that will be hammered out later. Stats being terribly underpowered is not a small issue at all. Strength having zero use past level 81, and Turmoil adding a whooping 7 damage to melee attacks just doesn't work.

l0l

There are still so many issues to address, tons of smaller ones like the complete obsolescence of Berserker (i) (Onyx trumps it statwise every way), the terrible value of GWD amulets (Zilyana boss drop worse than a lolaquanite item), the lack of precise equipment screen information (no statistics giving EXACT armour values versus each style). Not to mention overarching bad design mechanics like the horrific uselessness of combat stats beyond granting abilities. If the EoC was coming out in 2013 there'd still be a chance that they're going to work on sharpening the system for maybe 2 more months ... but at this announcement it feels as if they're going to discard any chance of that.

Just can't believe they sprung it on us in this month of all months, especially after mentioning a delayed 2013 release ;\

Divines are apparently being traded at 300M atm, lol.

I'm still not happy that they've made skill levels so useless in terms of direct contribution to combat (attack/def rolls, max hit etc). As it is, I can actually get hit by level 2 rats pretty consistently in this new system, which just says to me that something's going horribly wrong.

WTF? I thought they were delaying it till 2013!

Third-age gear, chompy hats?

You score better when that picture is your desktop. Also shaved off 0.57 seconds with a 26 higher 3BV???? That's some badass 3BV/s there.

And yet they seem totally unwilling to even throw in the Ornate Katana :P Good luck to all who take part! Those prizes look pretty good!

Full Celestial!

Goddamn annoying as cabbage

:P Can't say I didn't expect this outcome though.

Nekyia has 176 posts in ISE, and from anectodal evidence (i.e. pulling numbers from my posterior) about 10% of her posts involve accidents and/or self-inflicted injury. So about 17 accidents, and 4 posts away from her 18th.
