Just make gear with niche uses. I really have no idea why after years we only have Keris and Balmung. They're fun to use, and as of now Balmung is actually the best thing to use when meleeing dagannoths. They can even apply this retroactively as seen with Corp which gave an obsolete weapon a purpose.

The Death Star is orbiting Gielinor and not Alderaan.

True. They could limit that system to items like chaotics or quest rewards to avoid it, though, like they've done with Balmung. Keeps them from being obsolete, or just plain useless out of the box. The idea being that you could get something like your rapier, use it until level 90 or whatever, then upgrade it. If you don't want to get a rapier or go through the process of upgrading it, you can get drygores. It could go along with their plan to make armor have different effects as well - One 90 set could have a crit bonus, the other could have an accuracy boost, and so on. I'd rather them just leave dg as it is, a method to get level 80 weapons. Being surpassed by drygores does not make chaotics obsolete, it makes them level 80 weapons instead of endgame weapons.

Minor addition: Chaotic claws. The precedent is there, if Jagex is willing to look past their 'pet' items. Having it so high level players buy the base (lvl60) item to upgrade it into a high level (lvl80) item just drags the base item's price up to a point where it might as well not exist as a separate level 60 item. Chaotic Claws avoided this by being generally unsatisfactory, but if anything really worthwhile such as drygores were released which required say, a godsword, their prices would shoot through the roof. When my deaths are caused by merit and not my isp I'll think about it.

Copy/pasted from Reddit: Summary of video: Momentum: will become a toggle ability, not an ultimate DW Changes: pulled up to the level of 2h (I think this was already done though) Hybrid DW: Already changed, as you can have an offhand spell. They will be working on mage abilities Magic ability: Recent update has reworked magic so that ability damage works similarly to melee/ranged skills in combat: Attack/magic/ranged will be more influential to hitchance. Potions: Stats are gonna count more (see above), meaning boosts will mean more removal of str bonuses from armor: in ~1 month we will see a new armor system: choice of pure defense or sacrificing some of the defense/armor to add to offense. Crit caps: Bosses cap at 5k, which WILL BE REMOVED Adrenaline stalling: they dont mind people doing it...In the future, they want to integrate it into the game as a feature. New abilities coming next week: 2 mage/range basics to "bolster the rotation" There's another significant update coming out in April. Next BTS: they will be looking at the art and sound behind the "The Origin of Gielinor" Excellent. Especially looking forward to the armor changes, hopefully high level armor will be useful now instead of having everyone fight everything in void.

We're more of his successor than a representation of him. We can after all use his power as we wish.

Anyone want to tackle the issue of why gambling should be in Runescape? People have made their case against it, but I have yet to see any real reason it should exist besides making a select few filthy rich and "satisfying players who crave high risk". Does that really justify all the spam, the very possible scams and an extremely profitable method of RWT?

There is a difference between gambling as an adult who knows the risks doing it for fun and some kid playing a game thinking that he's going to double his bank. There is also a difference between gambling with a couple of friends for pocket change and setting up casino clans to farm gold on an absolutely massive scale. In Runescape, more often than not this is the latter of both examples. The line of dozens of 34 total level accounts with bot names and purple robes trying to get me to join a gambling fc are not there because their makers want to have a good time, they simply want to hoard money. Responses bolded. It's a question of morality, not merely an economical or gameplay issue. Is it right to take someone's entire bank knowing that they may very well have serious gambling problems, or even that they are children and totally ignorant to the way things work?

Managed to get over 20 fires lit and was doing 2000+ damage each hit. Not sure if that's the best way but it seemed to work well for me. Never had any trouble getting away from the rage attack though so can't help you with that. Used void and she would maxaround 3200 damage which was around half my lp.
-
8200 is over 90% of my lp in full tetsu, the best armor in game at the moment. Add to that the attack will hit that high up to 4 times, and that this is only with one person using berserk.
-
That's a nice way to word it, but you could get the same risk/reward scenario by playing 50/50 odds. The only reason to give yourself an advantage is because you want to make money off of it, and while not wrong by itself, the way you go about it involves tapping off of someone's inability to control themselves. In a way this is actually worse than a scam. While someone who was stupid enough to send his money to a Nigerian prince might wise up and not repeat the incident, gambling leaves the victim begging for more.
-
Except berserk also causes you to take double damage, halved armor and of course you have no adrenaline after using it. But imagine two players in PvP, both berserk... Quadruple damage? Jesus Christ. Won't get anywhere near quadruple damage as max amount of lifepoints is ~11k. Can't believe we're already back to 1 hitting each other. What was the point of EoC?

Just in time for recent events which likely caused many to hate Saradomin.

So how come we don't just have some Zaros minion replace Azzanadra if you haven't done Desert Treasure? I mean they've done it with along with the others.

Isn't the Staff of Armadyl different from Armadyl's Battle Staff?

It won't be every quest that has an indirect 140 combat requirement, just the God Wars II quests. Noobs will still get their fill of fighting goblins and stealing sweetrolls and other such mundane quests.How do morals even come into play here? Everyone who buys membership gets access to two games, and there are no rules as far as I know that prohibit trading between the two. You may not partake in it because of the inherent risks or because you value the fresh start, but that does not mean that those who choose to trade for 07 gold are immoral, or acting unfairly. Everyone who plays 07 has a legal, unbiased opportunity here, which is the definition of fairness.Jagex heavily tracks data, which is how they can (claim to) track gold as it funnels through several mule accounts and eventually to the seller and then the buyer. I'm sure they could set up an algorithm to send up a flag when player A trades player B a heavy amount of stuff in one game and then Player B does the same in the other. Then again, Jagex has always been kinda soft on trust trades. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAaaaaaaa..... No. The notion that jagex heavily tracks how gold funnels is priceless. They really don't. And I think we all know they don't. Because if they did, RWT wouldn't be as popular as it is. Players would think, wow i'm just going to get banned if I buy all this gold. And realize their buying it is pointless. But as many hosts as there is, we both know, between me and you, the notion that jagex watches this, is priceless. Rwt deals with real life currency and so the data is out of Jagex's reach. They're not going to ban someone just for receiving a large stack of gold without data showing that he paid for it. However in game trading only involves in-game items and so would be far easier to keep track of.Don't care as long as the exchange rate means it will take the same amount of time to make 07 gp by playing eoc as just straight playing 07. I don't want to be forced to trade eoc gold just to compete in 07.Got the first two trios back to back now waiting two weeks for the finale to show up >.>White Wolf Mountain is the new Taverly gate.
