2-Apr-2012 - Chocatrice vs Evil Chicken (easter update)
I wish the permanent Eggsterminator would have the stats of a sling. How badass would is be to shoot marshmallows and eggs at monsters and actually kill them with it? But obviously that's too OP. It's pretty much like a free sling that's totally untradeable and will be discontinued. That would be an unfair advantage, and I could never see Jagex doing such a controversial thing.

While anyone on an MMO would likely agree with those terms the loophole is the fact that in literal terms as seen by law and such as long as you get something you have 'won' it does not matter the value. Then why don't all online gambling sites guarantee that you always "win" something? Perhaps even if you lose, you get some kind of virtual item, like a cabbage let's say? Then they could totally avoid the anti-gambling laws. Everyone's a winner*! *some moreso than others

Squeal of Fortune + Buyable Spins
Wilderness nerf. You mean the one, where they brought the Wild back after 4 years? I was thinking of a removal after 1 week (or so) of releasing the update. Other thing I can think of is the token requirements for DG items, but that was a "we already planned this, but thanks for the feedback." And the reduction of spirit shards from 50 gp to 25 gp, but once again that's just messing with the numbers not a full reversal. I think they could "mess with the numbers" by making "paid spins" unable to give xp lamps. In turn, perhaps they'd increase the chance of Wheel specific items, such as tattoos, hats, horns etc.

Thankfully the Squeal of Fortune spins are too goddamn expensive to really be abuseable. But the general idea behind it is really shitty. Especially because it is gambling regardless of what Jagex claims. Getting a cabbage isn't "winning", that's "losing", and when there's losing, it's "gambling". The fact that you spend real money to do so could actually make it illegal in some countries. I actually hope somebody files a lawsuit against Jagex for online gambling (as well as letting kids use their parent's credit cards without need any confirmation to do so) and they have to get rid of this Squeal of Fortune payment crap. On the subject of dungeoneering: WHERE IS MY SOLO DUNGEONEERING XP BUFF?! Soloing is so terrible compared to team dungeon delving, and in some cases, takes more effort on an individual's part. When you're in a team, often there are a few people being totally lazy while a few others are doing all the work. Even if they slow the dungeon down to an hour the experience is still miles ahead of soloing. And don't get me started on leeching...

Future Update Discussions
I'm with you. I don't think that Optimus' catchphrase "Auto-Bots, roll out!" would work too well though. Well, perhaps he could mean "roll out" of the game.....Anyways, yeah... I was thinking the same thing. Now wouldn't it be awesome if they released the Transformers MMO alongside the next Bot Nuke and subscribers could control go into Runescape as a transformer and kill the crap out of convicted botters?

Will the dragon warhammer ever be released?
My idea for the dragon warhammer's special attack: Hugely powerful attack that takes a few seconds to "charge" and does something like +50% damage that's very accurate and uses only 50% spec bar. While charging, you can't move, eat, or do essentially anything. Also, in multicombat, it can hit multiple enemies at once. Your opponent could just step away before the attack hits, but if they're within the 3x3 square around you, they'll get whacked. I think it would be an interesting element to be added to PvP. It can deal tons of damage with great accuracy, but it's very easy to see coming due to the charge. You can even take advantage of the opponent's charge time to deal damage to them while they're unable to heal, but risk getting smacked for a lot of damage if you aren't careful. In PvM it would be more reliable seeing as monsters can't run away, as well the fact that it can do AoE in multi, it would be great for some situations.

Sagaies are as fast as crossbows?! Wow, I heard they were much slower. I wonder if they're actually a viable option.

Future Update Discussions
So, with the release of Morytanian tasks, will the leg armor complete the "task armor set"? Or will we still need to fill the necklace slot and get a "proper" weapon task reward? And there's still the ammo and aura slots left after that, but I find it highly unlikely they will be included. What about a belt slot some time in the future? I hope we get tasks in the Kharidian Desert one of these days. I'd love an amulet that combines the cramulet with the enchanted water tiara, as well as infinite teleports to the camulet destination. Wilderness tasks would be interesting to see, too. Maybe you could get a weapon that increases in power the more wilderness PKs you have. Then you can spend some charges (akin to a DFS) for a powerful special attack of some sort. We're definitely getting Daemonheim tasks eventually too... Oh, and let's see how many Morytania tasks we can guess!! GO!! -Cut down a bloodwood tree in Darkmeyer and fletch some bakriminel bolts (86 woodcutting, 93 fletching, Branches of Darkmeyer) -Mix a prayer renewal potion using fellstalks and morchella mushrooms you grew yourself (92 farming, 94 herblore) -Kill a vyrelord with a full powered-up blisterwood weapon (Branches of Darkmeyer, 500 burnt vyres) -Get a special task from Duradel/Lapalok and slay every monster in Slayer Tower in one trip (85 slayer) -Kill all 7 barrows brothers, Akrisae included! (Ritual of the Mahjarrat) Bonus points if task is named "Brother From Another Mother"

20-Mar-2012 - Bakriminel Bolts
Miasmics are so incredibly expensive, though. Even more so than storm of armadyl because of the zuriel staff cost. In general, magic is a lot more expensive to use, and rangers can get by just fine with sub-100k equipment. The corrupt version is a bit over 500k and can be used one cast at the time iirc. If it degrades like chaotics then each cast is about 5k more expensive (2 ticks combat per cast, one hit dealt one taken, 2000 ticks per staff). That's not that much considering the power. I remember at one point using PvP ancient equipment would degrade it a minimum of 1 minute every time you equipped it. That was to prevent people from just wielding a weapon for one special/spell and getting thousands of uses out of it. Did they change them to no longer have a minimum of 1 minute degrade, or was it always this case?

Either that is a server dump rsps, or he broke the wheel somehow It's a Jmod. This was made clear in the video and the description.

-Rangers also have numerous weapons with 10 range (same as magic) but they generally do less damage than a crossbow. -Polypore staff has a crappy range, I think even a crossbow could outreach it. -Bolas can be used by rangers to freeze mages to prevent farcasting. -I hear some range weapons have even farther reach than 10, such as sighted magic longbows. Theoretically, they could bolas and "farcast" a helpless mage. Just bringing up a few points on the subject, I'm not really arguing in favor of range of mage of being OP. I've never seen anyone using these tactics, so it's just in theory. Somebody should really test this stuff out, it could be some pretty useful stuff.

Storm of Armadyl is the highest* dps in the game *highest on zero defence, results may vary When you include defence in the equation (which is a big deal in PvP) Storm of Armadyl isn't always the highest. Rangers have high magic defence and magic soak. Most mage robes have zero range defence (the exceptions only have incredibly small bonuses). So range is really designed to beat magic, and does just that most of the time.
-
Cheap-ish Range off-hand item?
You could try getting a complete Armadyl or Guthix prayer book. I think those should be cheaper. Aside from prayer books, there isn't much that boosts range attack bonus. Or you could always just use any old shield for defence, as long as it doesn't have negative range attack.

Login Pin + Screenshot Logger Protection -New RSOF Thread-
Old thread, but definitely worth a support. Also, it would be awesome if you could put in your pin on login, and not have to re-input it when you switch worlds via lobby. All in all, I think these bank pin changes are all good idea, and I'm surprised Jagex still hasn't implemented them.

20-Mar-2012 - Bakriminel Bolts
This. Yeah, this would definitely make sense. However, I do like the idea of targeting body parts and doing effects based on the armor worn. Perhaps the chance of the effect activating would be based off of the targeted armor's range defence bonus? Hell, there should be more weapons like that. It would make for some interesting PvP metagaming.

New suspected Elite Morytania task: Cut down a bloodwood tree in Darkmeyer and fletch some Bakriminel bolts. Better start getting that fletching requirement now.... Oh, and I just had a great idea to make Bakriminel bolts less shitty! Their max hit should be increased by the target's magic attack bonus! Pretty simple, and not terribly overpowered.
-
20-Mar-2012 - Bakriminel Bolts
How to avoid getting your magic attack speed reduced by Bakriminel bolts: Step ONE (1): Wear a helmet. Step TWO (2): Do not remove said helmet when in the presence of another PKer. The bleeding effect seems unbelievably lame. The leg effect seems totally outclassed by bolas. The headshot isn't going to be a problem if you follow the incredible advice above. Helmets are the least important when it comes to magic attack, so just wear a Neitiznot or something and there won't be much of a difference.

BXPW and smithing?
Making ceremonial swords are actually really fast and cheap xp if you're good. However, if you haven't done them before, I wouldn't recommend starting on bxpw; the time you spend getting the feel for it could equate to a lot of lost xp. Actually, I'm not even sure if bxpw works on ceremonial swords, but once I finish training construction, I'll see for myself.

200M in all Skills
What about slayer points? You can exchange 400 of the for a chunk of xp. I'm not sure about the max amount of slayer points you can hoard, though.

6-March-2011 - Player Armour, Gnomes and Clan Fealty
all in all, not toooo bad jagex.... rune looks like space aliens, and i miss the all platebodies, be they rune or bronze looking the same... wish they hadn't made each set identically different. my big problem however is... MY MOTHER (BLEEPING) TORVA@ WHAT HAVE YOU DONE JAGEX YOU MAD FOOLS I FEEL LIKE A MAN WEARING PURPLE PANTS AND 5 PURPLE BRAS UNDER A TANK TOP..... helm looks, as pointed out like the de-development artists were a bit high..... Kinda reminds me of Darth Vader from Star Wars. First Torva helm looks like a spiky Storm Trooper helm, now it looks like anorexic Darth Vader. Usually going from underling's->overlord's style is awesome (especially in the case of Darth Vader) but Jagex somehow managed to mess this one up.
