Wow... We have cat-suits now?

Adze can increase experience by almost 100k per hour, so it is a must get item once you get 92 firemaking.

Yes. But we should be able to protest before it happens in an attempt to prevent them from choosing to do so. I would rather not *have* to leave my country because of laws that are unjust. I'd dare you to protest if you were of a certain nationality in the 1930s in Italy, but that is an extreme scenario. @Seeker The chest area has not changed as far as I can tell.

That's because RS used to be different from all the other idiotic (generally asian) MMO's. Now it's turning into one of those games. Usually MMO's have a) a monthly fee or b) microtransactions. Of course Jagex seems to be part of the "Why not both?" school of thought now. Well, if it is getting too idiotic for you, play a different game. The thing is, you don't have to use the micro transactions to compete with others. Everything can be done without them. Wow, you must be part of the debate club, superb argumentation there. As a person who has been paying jagex for years don't I have right to voice my opinion on some forums? After all that's what forums are for, aren't they? If your government were to pass some idiotic law would you also use your brilliant "U kno if u dun dig this just bugger off k, move to another country" argument? For me this is as weird as paying extra for salt at a restaurant, hence I'm against it. If you like the microtransaction highway then good for you, that's your opinion and I'm glad you have one, just accept the fact that others have theirs. I'm sure plenty of people have left their home countries when the government put things into the law that the peope didn't like. @Seeker I'll look real fast for you. Maybe Solomon sells "enhancements" at his store.

...well yeah, but that's not what we were talking about o_O How did we go from discussing whether or not the formula made sense in how it currently was implemented, to rushing success rates and pures, to comparing 1 defense accounts that have no utility in the beta >_> You'll have to forgive me, I'm not used to jumping around like that. I thought we were still discussing whether or not author Hamtaro achieved the point he was trying to make successfully, with sound reasoning behind his argument. I'm soooooo confused now @_@ FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH. I agree with you on how HP should affect LP boosts from armor. It makes for a more elegant system where every aspect has a purpose. I think that what I was originally saying is that removing those skills from the combat calculation was going to make things difficult for some types of players, mainly lower level pures. As for Hamtaro's reasoning, none was explicitly stated because for the general part of RuneScape, it won't matter one bit. However, it will hurt an extreme minority.

1 defense + 99 hp > 1 defense + 60 hp I'm not talking about maxed pures here. PvP will become stupidly hard if you are fighting other people with armor (specifically shields). I have been watching my friend doing armored fighting in the Duelling Arena and in the wilderness, and he usually times out in the Duelling arena before he can kill the opponent or be killed (no food or pots as rules). Personally, I would like to see hp requirements tied to higher lp boosting armors.

If pure builds still don't pack much defense, they won't be using high level armors. However, that may change. I also could see many SoF/PC/SW prods at level 50 combat and 99 hit points. They would benear impossible to ko.

Without armor (which they'd be restricted to iron at best) compared to wearing granite or better (assuming 50 defense), the level 3 would have far higher chances of losing than winning. You'd likely be able to down your opponent in 3 or 4 hits before their titan can do enough damage to worry you. The formula's not perfect, but it's way less of an issue than the author/you seem to make it be. I was moreso referring to rushing and the like, similar to the kyatt pures that we have now.

I think you are just complaining if you don't understand why some of these things are bad. As for HP, Prayer, and Summoning not calculating into combat..... A level 3 could easily wreck the shit out of a level 50 in the wilderness with protection prayers and a steel/iron titan. I don't really call that balanced. The point of the article, from what I gathered when I read it last week was, if it isn't broken don't break it trying to fix nonexistent problems.

I don't really mind it, but it seems like it is the end of the world for some people.

109 kills in one life along with teleports. I have like 50 points as Medic and 30 as Scout.

I have a record of 140 points as Engineer.

Pyrelord firemaking generally requires high level logs and a shit load of money, and the OP definitely mentioned affordability.

Maples to 83, then Jadinko Lair to 92. At 92, get the Inferno Adze, Flame Gloves, and Flame Ring, and go back to the Jadinko Lair.

They will just need to add a controlled option to train attack along with ranged/mage and defense at the same time.

Would you believe that I didn't end up with a Darmanitan (If I had Darumaka, it died to a lucky crit), and that Emboar was one of the only survivors in the end? :razz: One of the things I've found to be invaluable are Battle Items. Just use the anti-crit item, and then start using those items until you can get +3 in speed and attack/special. This makes those elite 4 guys so much easier. real men play nuzlocke with no main bag items (TM/HMs, Pokeballs and Key Items only). thats always how i have done it. sometimes i let myself use curing items out of battle if it would mean that i only save time going to the pokemon center and don't make the game easier (eg. trainers or wild pokemon en route to center or pokemon is poisoned) but thats the only time i bend the rules Playing by the rules would require you to not use Pokecenters, leveling your pokemon above the gym leaders pokemon, and not using items outside of battle.

"Over the internet especially, with no clues such as intonation or body language, something can be misinterpreted. At this point, there is usually a bifurcation." You must have glazed over this part.

I think he means that the OP is trying to make cash while getting experience instead of getting experience with cash on the side.

Umm... Darumaka and Darmanitan are common pokemon, and they outclass him in movepool, typing, and speed/attack. I personally prefer Snivy/Jarooda as a B/W Nuzloke starter since it gets moves that lower accuracy and they get recovery moves in the form of mega/giga drain. I actually just realized this, but the reason starter pokemon generally suck dick in competitive is because they are good all around stats. Unfortunately this means that they are usually outshined in EVERY role that they could possibly fill. The few that are used have something that makes them stand out.... Wartortle/Blastoise gets Rapid Spin, Blaziken gets Speed Boost, Venasaur gets Chlorophyll, Infernape gets one hell of a movepool including Flare Blitz and Close Combat. Empoleon and Swampert are also used as bulky phasers due to their typing, but the rest of the starters are extremely lacking.

Just don't pick Tepig. Ever. Also, I got my Fire Cape back.

86 magic... And... I got my Fire Cape back. =)
