Must have caught you on a drunk night. :\ Anyways, from a few posts above...

Yeah, I'm going to follow the bandwagon and say that it's not an issue of community, it's an issue of forum moderation. Why are there so many troll posts on the RSOF? It's because the moderators aren't doing their jobs, and/or the rules there aren't enforced. Making the RSOF available to everyone won't make a difference. If RSOF modding doesn't make an improvement, they won't go anywhere period.

Finished off the rewards section!

Yeah, I don't actually own a blastbox since I mostly melee/range dungeons. Also I mentioned wind blast with a catalytic staff, because face it, you won't be rcing for the first couple of rooms. It's later when you do find lots of money for rune essence do you craft fire runes. But still, having a fire staff negates the need to do so. I'm still pretty sure that you need to get your own deaths/airs to charge the blastbox, but only for the first time. After that, you get 125 charges each dungeon. By the way, definitely keep your fractite spear (along with fire staff/blastbox). Melee is pretty much THE way to go with most monsters. Using bind slots on armor is a waste - they really don't help you much at all, trust me. You're better off binding another combat style with you, since it's difficult to have different combat styles in f2p.

Exactly. The supply from "regular" players will far outweigh the 2k price. If yews were 2k apiece, no one would train on them for fletching, making supply far more than demand. And yews would stabilize back to 500gp apiece again. GF.

World of Warcraft won't be entirely free, period. With so many subscribers, I don't think Blizzard would want to lose out on revenue. As for Runescape, I can kind of see it becoming entirely free. Membership is basically worthless, and there's only like what, 2m members compared to the 13m in WOW. I would LOVE it if Runescape was completely F2P. My membership troubles would be over! :D

About the discussion with the mercenary room, is it better to have full fractite + pray mage, or full dromoleather + pray range? Or does armor have no effect at all? Also, is it better to range the mercenary leader, or melee? Is it also important to focus on the other fighters, or does everyone pile the mercenary leader? In a solo, it's pretty easy for me, but in a duo+ I always get demolished by this room >.>

About bind slots, I do wish we get a second ammo bind. I want to use range AND magic within the dungeons, not just either one. Item bind, maybe an extra 1 or 2, but for now it's not that bad.

Phoenix Odin had his rc exp at 199m exp for nearly a year now... so technically rc 200m was already obtained then. But still, grats to Toony on 200m slayer exp!

But wouldn't it be better if your 1.3-1.5k world (as well as any population) has the same spawn times as a 2k world? You get more kills in a set amount of time. That's what I'm implying.

For Shield of Arrav, try to join the Black Arm Gang. A lot of people are in Phoenix, and it gets a bit hectic when not too many people are Black Arm. :\

Perhaps make the spawn time the same everywhere, regardless of how many people there are in the world? This is assuming everything spawns at the rate if 2k people are in the world (max efficiency of spawns). Should help crashing a bit, along with extra servers.

Chrome has this annoying status bar that appears/disappears on its own. While it doesn't seem like much, my entire screen got blacked out by it before. Not sure with Safari. Firefox works fine for me, plus it's the only one out of the 3 that works with the Game Bar so that's the way to go.

Haha thanks :) will be a long time before I get that smithing level requirement though... I'm in the mining guild now, with mithril ores, supeheat spells, my coal bag, and my trustworthy rune pickaxe. 3 guesses to know what I'm doing. Trio skilling

That means you have 90 days members now :o congratulations.

Jagex needs to remove kicking altogether as a whole. <_<

For some reason when I follow blogs I only look at latest posts lol. But now that you mentioned it, I will check the front page more. :D

The only good outcome of ranged is the immense accuracy of bows in dung, but even then, melee has on-par accuracy, and the speed of ranging doesn't make up for the weakened arrows :\

Hmm, if PvP isn't as good as it was claimed to be, back to skilling for me I guess. :mellow:

Or make mages/necromancers all have extremely high melee def comparable to those of warriors. Mage-based bosses already have tricks to counter pure-meleers (Astea/protect prayers, Geomancer/binds, Lexicus/deflect damage, Necrolord/can't melee), and even the mages/necromancers themselves can bind you to the spot, so why not add some extra niche to them? Though, as stated, buffing up ranged to make it hit 400+ consistently is the only ultimate solution to fix ranged in dg.

Or get rc/fletch up so you can use that bind slot on something better. If Jagex implemented the "extra damage" thing with magic boxes within the dungeons, then they need to do something to boost range str of arrows. Make sagit arrows +120 range str or something, and adjust all other arrows accordingly.

Hearing the sounds a bit more, I think these sounds are supposed to put a note on realism a bit more. I mean, think of it, the old sounds were good, but do they REALLY sound like what it sounds in real life? I'm pretty sure your shield/armor is supposed to sound like a tin can when it gets whacked by another piece of metal (swords and stuff).

You guys are forgetting that the RS client is IE-based. And we all know IE = crap. Firefox is by far the most superior, because you can have the Game Bar with you at the same time, and switching tabs is far more efficient. Not to mention it doesn't lag :3

Yep :)

Yeah, barehand maging is another option, but only for the first few rooms or so. After that, make a fire staff. I agree, in members it's not worth binding a staff. Better off binding something more useful (hood, platebody, hexhunter). And isn't the purpose of magic in dung is to kill off high melee/range def monsters, like warriors?
