All I can say is: Change the current defense to "dodge" or any other synonym, and the real "defense" should be DAMAGE RESISTANCE, not damage dodging. For example: You attack 5 times. Say your accuracy is 5 units. - Weapons increase this, but it depends on the type of weapon. Attack also increases it for obvious reasons. The opponent's dodge is 2 units. -Shields/some armor types (?)/your own dodge increase this. If you're rolling a dice, its a 50% chance you'll hit (5-2=3, 3/6 = 1/2 = 50%) Say your damage is also 5 units. - Weapons increase this, but it depends on the type of weapon. Strength also increases it for obvious reasons. The opponent's toughness is 2 units. - Armor/defense increases this. If you're rolling a dice, its a 50% chance you'll hit (5-2=3, 3/6 = 1/2 = 50%) Basic enough for you? This is what I see as the ideal attack/strength/dodge/defense.

and 99 range >>>>>> 75 attack and str with no contest whatsoever lol Ok...

Yeah, eating and "safing" is so dishounourable when you're TRYING TO KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE so you can get the freaking drop. :roll:

Seriously I don't get what's the freaking big deal about giving f2p an update that would probably need Jagex to type a few lines/pages of code. They could easily make it a "side" update, and overshadow it by a huge update that will draw members' attention. Making a skill more convenient =/= making a skill easier. Construction is "convenient", but is it easy? From what I hear you have to spend about 100 million gp on it to get to 99. So getting 100M gp is easy? I don't want to break my fingers trying to get a silly skill to level 99. There's no freaking point in "honouring" the old players by not allowing new players to do something the easy way. So seriously, stop [cabbage]ting about pissing old players off or whatever.

One of the better thought out rants on noobs, but if you remove all the fluff, the core/essence is the same thing: "I got called a noob! Grr!" Not trying to be offensive though. You can't avoid jerks like that guy you mentioned if you're playing an online game.

Great articles this week! :thumbsup:

3x standard speed? Is that the speed of the weapon you're using? I shudder to think of the ownage of using this with darts/knives in your hand. Give it a specific speed. Dart/knife speed is probably what you're looking for. I'm not very clear about this too... Make this spell and the similar ones affecting defense and strength decrease the stats on equipment instead. This makes it different than the standard spellbook's spells. And rather than going up slowly, like stats, have it last x amount of time, then stats become normal again. Great idea! This would make it amazingly useful on melee, not so good on ranged, and even worse on mages. Which is kind of what we want. So does this mean that we can now get into the Varrock bank cellar? What about quest areas you can't get to? Make it so that you have to be able to walk there at the moment you cast it, so you can't go through closed doors or other things like that. I think this has been discussed earlier, and sees_all1 has already said that this spell and apparate/super apparate cannot take you to locked areas. I think it should be stated here, I think. Again, standard speed is your weapon's speed, right? I think so. Rather than 10%, make it one notch on the weapon speed scale. This, darts, and your current pulse spells could get speed 10 weapons. :lol: Speed 10 ROFLMAO :lol: Infinite hits 8-) Since agility doesn't affect f2p anymore, I would take out the agility part of that spell. For run energy, will 50% energy go to 25%, or 0%? I think he meant 50 percent, not run energy %. Not too sure though. 50% run energy is quite a lot. Make it either Neitizniot, or Jatizso, because you're having it tele you to 2 places. Neit would be better, as you are in good favor there after Fremennik isles. Same change as disport. Does this work on NPCs? I think so. But it won't be a big problem, right? Getting close enough and wasting runes trapping monsters and then running off wouldn't be practical. How many prayer points does it take? Does this disable others from blessing it as well? I don't know. Clarify with sees_all1. Is this a non-member's spell? No, as Juhniz mentioned. Overall, I like it. It just needs some clarifying for some spells. I don't blame you for it though. Many of the clarifications were discussed somewhere in between page 1 and this page, and you must be mad if you read the whole thread. I've read most of this thread, so I know most of the clarifications.

Yeah. And burn X just to keep firemakers happy. And "herblore" X or whatever just to keep herblorers happy.

You player KILL to kill - not to show off your "honour". Betrayal, sneak attacks, far casting, etc ARE not "disallowed" or whatever. It might be cunning and "evil", but the end justifies the means and anything goes and get a kill by hook or by crook so... :roll: Must resist temptation to say [/thread]! :roll:

Yes, and that's the problem we have here. Nothing really counters strength, except how long can you last with your health and the protect from melee prayer.

You must have missed the many bumps made by the OP, though... OP: I think that Melee is stronger than Mage and Ranging, but I think it was a balancing factor by Jagex because it takes attack and strength to train. Also, Mage maxes out at level 59, and there isn't new spells unless you get members. Even if they do get new armor, it would still be weaker than Melee. Bumping is not unrelated to the topic. Though it isn't directly related though. Back on topic, melee is amazingly easy to train in f2p. Mage requires tons of cash and quite a lot of time to train in f2p, and ranged is slow if you're cheap. It can be fast, but you'll have to spend a lot of cash on it. Not to try and object to your decision, but it was Sadukar123 or Estorrath or Howbadisbad who started it. I couldn't remember since the posts were deleted.

It's the internet. Be thankful that guy actually spoke without much spelling mistakes... :roll: I don't care much about grammar, because its hard to learn, but people who spell like "n00b r0fl 1337" and what crap are really annoying. The point is that you can read a sentence with rubbish grammar but you can't read one with [cabbage] spelling.

I take back what I said about crushing and stabbing weapons never used. Maybe I should change the title to "Crushing and stabbing weapons rarely used". I'm not a member, so I don't know much about member weapons and whether they are good or not, so I really can't comment on that point. Rune platebody is supposed to be weak to crush. Now i have tested Rune battleaxe and Rune warhammer with "Crush" on a Rune platebody but it have not been accurate. Why? To little attack bonus. Yes. I could only make theories, but was too lazy to test it out. Thanks for the data! :

Its not a stupid thread if its in the rants forum? It would be stupid posting it in general discussion, where there is a thread which is pretty much opposite to this, so not everybody already knows/agrees. STFU KTXBAI Seriously I'm getting sick of all these threads... :roll:

As I said, there would be countless people wanting free cash by saying that their accounts lost money due to bugs.

I don't know, but maybe you could bury ashes for prayer (?) exp or something...better logs give more ashes? Many monsters drop ashes after all... Just a suggestion, I know its stupid.

I'm thinking there should be a thread asking for returned items from the glitch. With a few rules: Only people who lost more than around 1 mill in items. If you are found to be lieing to get free items, you get an instant ban. Isnt that simple? Then only people who genuinely lost items (or who want to get banned) would ever post, and the ones that did jagex could go and check the logs on that persons account, and then give the money back. Some stupid idiots who did not read that announcement or are just plain stupid might think they could get away with it (and believe me, there are a lot of these kind of people) might still post in that thread, wasting Jagex's time still. Though its minimized, of course.

Its hardly a waste. It would make lots and lots of people happier, and renew peoples faith in jagex. Can you read? Checking accounts whether they faked the loss of items or not renews people's faith in Jagex? My foot.

Exactly.

I'm a Singaporean, but I don't plan to get membership... :roll: Good to know that I can do it anytime though...

Yep, this is basically everything we've been debating about.

Uh... Clearly Jagex can tell exactly who lost money and at what time because they were able to do it on Exile's account. It'll still be wasting a lot of Jagex's time.

Um everyone in rs could only have earned enough for a few hours while people that lost money because of the glitch potentially lost several years of work. Sure, "no one will every be satisfied" but that doesn't mean that he couldn't have simply given him his 350mil back or at least be a bit more sympathetic. BTW quelmotz stop calling everyone an idiot its really annoying. IMO Mod Mat k handled the situation really badly. That thing about aliens was really unnecessary and i don't understand why he won't give him his 350mil if its his fault that he lost it Well too bad, I don't think Mod Mat K handled the situation badly at all. He was just doing his freaking job. He did apologize. Sincerity is based on judgment. I think his apology was sincere enough. Yes, 350 million is a lot of money, but its just a game. Why should he bring 350 Million into a minigame anyway? To flaunt his wealth? He wasted a lot of time on it, but there's nothing much Jagex can do about it. If they give him back 350 million, the forums will immediately be flooded with people begging Jagex to give them free cash, and pretending that they lost cash due to bugs in the game. I think this is what Jagex had in mind when they refused to return the lost 350 million.

I take back what I said about crushing and stabbing weapons never used. Maybe I should change the title to "Crushing and stabbing weapons rarely used". I'm not a member, so I don't know much about member weapons and whether they are good or not, so I really can't comment on that point.

There's no freaking honor in pking. And there's no need to make such a stupid thread saying what we already know.
