Would be nice if we could get more things like Tz-Rek Jad that make sense, and not just lore breaking, scaled down versions of bosses. I mean, I like a novelty pet as much as the next guy, but just making every boss into a pet seems kind of lazy somehow. There's no creativity.

Make "Power to the Players" system. Offer only polls with Jagex approved outcomes. Justify ignoring of player suggestions by claiming they're not through official channels.Players have less power now than they've ever had.

Recent trend to include PvM into Comp Cape, i.e. Rush of Blood [Split]
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but why is everyone using darklight when holy water drops TD's shield right off the bat? It's a nightmare to make, sure, but most seem to be failing by very small margins...

Maxed again.- Recent trend to include PvM into Comp Cape, i.e. Rush of Blood [Split]
... Please, 'learning' to kill a boss is not something worthy of "put in the effort to achieve your goals." The people who are complaining about this requirement (of which I am not one) have no problem with putting effort in - they've already obtained the comp cape several times with the traditional requirements, which required far more effort than a little rs 'pvm'. Most of these people are complaining about the nature of these latest reqs, which are dissimilar to what the comp cape used to stand for. To be frank, those people have a stake in this discussion - do you? If not, maybe you should think twice before putting them down by suggesting they are not willing to put the effort in. It was a mistake to have the Completionist cape not require many if any boss kills in a game where the primary focus is combat. People definitely have a right to complain, but complaints should be directed at Jagex for trying to retroactively add in requirements, not because those requirements exist.- Future Update Discussions
It would be a lot better if the overrides had anything to do with the gear at all.- Future Update Discussions
Am I missing something or is repairing t90 armor going to cost as much as simply buying a new set?- Balthazar's Big Raffle
2 bank booths 'won' (let's be honest, they were probably close to, if not 100%), and many xp lamps. Might as well have given me Huge xp lamps every week.- Invention Skill - To be or not to be?
Divination wasn't even needed as a standalone skill. It would easily fit into prayer as a moneymaking branch of the skill, with the energy gained being used for inventor. Divination as a skill is as integral to the rest of scape as a beach episode is to an anime series.- Future Update Discussions
I'd rather them address the fact that all lvl 90 gear looks like tacticool nerf weapons with an inordinate amount of spikes.- 29 September 2014 - Patch Week & Pure resets
When we step from a real life setting to a game setting, shields become far less desirable. Without the top priority being survival, offense dominates because you no longer have to worry about the penalties of being hit. Even if shields were buffed, the primary focus would still be to maximize kills per hour, and that won't change unless death becomes a serious concern.- Recent trend to include PvM into Comp Cape, i.e. Rush of Blood [Split]
Then what? Shovelling away a group specifically because it has disabilities is in my eyes disrespectful. Especially when it might be a valid concern. Some disabilities does restrict certain content. For example, I found myself unable to do fight caves properly in pre-eoc due to that big importance of hearing the sound to determine the attack that Jad will do. As a near deaf person, I couldn't hear it and hence was almost always defeated without even seeing the healers. Back then, the animations happened after the sound, so for the best reaction, most players relied on the sound. So you would propose making "The Final Boss" a comp requirement? Surely killing it a hundred times must be? If everything in the game is made accessible to those with the worst disabilities, being disabled becomes a requirement to get any sort of challenge. You sacrifice the majority to serve the minority.- Recent trend to include PvM into Comp Cape, i.e. Rush of Blood [Split]
I can't max most skills because they bore me to suicide... should I be exempt from them so I can get the completionist's cape? :o I don't have the 'skills' to get completionist's! Get it? Wooooooooooo I crack myself up. Bored is different than actually impossible for you to do. So physical issues are more pressing/important than mental ones? Cool. That's not a mental issue, that's a choice. While you can choose to max, you cannot choose to be good at pvm, you can only choose to practice which doesn't guarantee anything. They are very different.- Runescape Combat System, Good Or Bad?
The biggest problem with Runescape's combat is twofold. The first is the fact that combat has been, and still is the same since the game's earliest days. Eoc is nothing more than a bunch of special attacks and a 10x increase in damage and health. Weapons have no identity, and combat is solely based on what style you're using, and what abilities you bring. The second problem is Jagex's unwillingness to upset the norm. We saw this in pre-eoc with melee's dominance in almost all things. Melee did not remain powerful because it should be, it did because players were settled in with a flawed system and didn't want change. The game stagnated and issues that needed to be fixed were left alone.- [Update] Prifddinas - Lost City of the Elves
He's just un-biased. What a noble man.- Too old to play runescape?
People always look to justify their decisions, and Runescape is no different.- What monster do you hate fighting the most?
Kalphite King is the sum of many bad concepts: 1hko attack does not add challenge, it prevents solos. This is the only reason it functions the way it does.The dig attack takes far too long, similar to why I dislike fighting wyrms.The minions clutter the screen, and only serve to trip resonance at the wrong time.Kills take too long, and are usually dragged out by the KK's healing aura which seems to have almost no cooldown period.The biggest offender is definitely the mage phase. Runescape is a point and click game, and on top of that, has an asinine .6 second delay before any and all actions. The bubbles explode too fast, do too much damage, and on top of that bind the player. The bubbles are not a threat because they take practice to avoid, they're a threat because of the constraints of the game.- Elf City – Design Documents - General Elf City Discussion
I always wanted agility to play out as a secondary combat stat anyways. Rename Agility to "The Force". Backflips, wall runs, somersaults, fantastic leaps, and edge-of-your-seat tension abound in the greatest combat skill everyone hates to train.- Post all RS Screenshots, Videos, and Sounds here!
