What annoys me most about this update is how it's now impossible to tell whether it's a Barrows brother or some troll wearing full Barrows armor without mousing over them. That combined with crowding and the misplaced-arrow bug results in some very... interesting situations. Like wondering why the hell Ahrim is in Dharok's barrow while trying to find the one you're actually supposed to be killing.

So visages are a permanent drop at Barrows now? Also, not a fan of the new look. I like green, but I'd rather they have stuck with the brown for Barrows. All the green stuff just seems... off to me. Oh well, time to go see if they screwed up the tunnel mechanic.

Does he, by any chance, yell "SAXTON HAAAAAAALE" everywhere he goes? :P

Looks fairly interesting.

Money pouch, toolbelt, and new auras all seem fairly good. Not too excited about another minigame that pits players against one another, though. What I'm really looking forward to, though, is the LOLcano. And the drunk wizards.

I take offense to that :P But really, I try to be a reliable player when there's something I'll play. As for GMing, I'm gonna be honest - I usually plan too deep into things, then end up seeing the task of GMing as too large due to my plans and just say 'screw that'.

Not really a fan of this change. The new front page hiscores pretty much everything is pretty bulky, plus trying to read the font is a pain. I realize it look nice and fancy, but it's not practical. They might as well use Papyrus for god's sake. Also, Rune$cape.

My god, I think my hand went so far through my forehead that I can stick my fingers out my ear. I mean, while I'm all for having a FAQ out there, having one that answers jack shit and basically says that they're throwing F2P out because BOTS BOTS BOTS OMG BOTS GUYS is no help to anyone.

While I do not really care whether or not F2P are in the highscores, I think it's a pretty awful move to take something away from F2P that's been there for so many years.

To summarize my thoughts and prevent a long-winded wall of text: Aw, what the hell, Jagex. I mean, I know that there are a ton of idle people/old bots on the hiscores, but that's no reason to hide people who just don't have a subscription.

[6] You walk toward the light, and find yourself in a secluded part of the cavern. You see a chest in front of you covered in cobwebs. [3 v 9] You stomp on the last slime, killing it. You then move forward with the rest of the group except Earth, who seems to be doing something else. [5] Jen bounds ahead, reaching the room with the slimy walls in record time. [1] She then tries to keep rushing ahead, and gets attacked by one of the slime blobs, thankfully taking [6 v 7+2] no damage from that or [4 v 8+2] from the accidental explosion of Nex's grenade. The grenade [4] also fails to stun you. You look around, and see [4] that the only hostile beings nearby are the slime blobs before you are hit by an explosion nearby, taking [9 v 9+2] no damage, and [3] are not stunned. You [1] let a grenade slide down your sleeve, when a wrinkle in the cloth catches the pin. When it hits your hand, it explodes, hitting [5] yourself, Nighleena, Jen, and 2 of the blobs. You take [4 v 6+2] 2 damage, and [4] no stun. The slimes take [8 v 11] 1 damage and [5 v 5] no damage. Neither are stunned. You rush through teh cave, but [2] trip and fall headfirst in a slime puddle near everyone else. Many laughs are had.

Sorry, I've just been mildly busy. Turn should be soon, today possibly.

Well, I got about 1m worth of runes and 2 loop key halves off of barrows, cost me a few overloads and a bunch of ppots. Sort of disappointed, really. Barrows usually doesn't let me down that badly.

Surrounded by guests. AWWWWYEEEEAH

Gentlemen.

Kick a pumpkin into a crowd. Watch some poor sucker get cranial damage and be covered in pumpkin guts. Then schadenfreude, laugh maniacally, and day is all better.

Update will be in a few hours if I can type it up before my father turns the Internet off.

like august

Gentlemen.

First: Slimes are non-acidic, I should've mentioned that - they're basically really fricking weak water elementals. Second, the grenades are detonate-on-impact after the pin's been pulled.

You [6 v 10] punt a slime into a wall, killing it instantly. You run outside of the slimes, and [12 v 7] try to shoot one, but miss. You have now run in the opposite direction of the exit arrow, and you can see something glowing at the end of that tunnel. [7 v 10] [6 v 9] You stab two of the slimes, killing them. [6 v 10] You launch the slime into the floor on top of the corpse of another, killing it. You then continue on down the tunnel, and [1 v 6] notice an odd, jelly-like substance oozing from the walls. It seems hostile, and begins to gather together into a few coherent masses. You walk through the cave, oblivious to the few live slimes still trying pitifully to kill you. [4 v 7+3] [12 v 5+3] One manages to find a crack in your armor, causing 3 damage. You are now over where Iey is, and also notice the jelly-like substance oozing from the walls. You poke one of the slimes with a hair, and [2] it dies. Fragile little buggers, aren't they? You collect the 'corpse' it leaves behind anyways into your backpack for further study.

Rave keyboard. Do it, you know you want to.

Mornin' gentlemen.

Speaking of the more-frequent voice acting, am I the only one who doesn't like it? I've actually had to turn off all sound coming from Java because turning the sound off in RS settings doesn't stop the wall voice from playing.
