There will be changes made still. Tutorial island is gonna get moved/deleted and the Wizards tower is going to get expanded, I'm sure others will follow too.

I didn't catch it, but I think some people in my clan said it's revealed that Zaros is the god of Manipulation?

Looks like they are becoming Black Demons?

Ban ALL the bots! And my suspicion of new mage robes to go along with Bandos/Armadyl was correct :)

Have a slight feeling we may get some new mage armour to go alongside the bandos and armadyl gear. The graphics look fantastic, looking forward to walking through the dungeon. I think I saw a new(ish) version of the Zaryte bow too, dunno, looked a bit like a shield piece attached to it.

Apparently 9 am bst at the earliest. Go take a nap. I thought there is a quote on the forums saying something along the lines of them prepping the update in the morning but it wouldn't actually be ready until the afternoon as long as everything goes steady? I think it'll come out around 2pm, just to mock me since that's when I gotta go for work <_<

I just assume prayers/potions/summons will only really impact on our auto-attacks, so they will still be important however most of our damage will be coming from basic, threshold and ultimate abilities which I'll take a guess and say they are not affected by those factors, putting more emphasis on our armours and weapon setups.

You've put my fear into words. edit - I don't like a potential prospect of being penalised for using lower level armour, especially since it's penalty enough to be using it as it stands. Hopefully I'm just misreading the blog and we won't have caps placed on us. I don't like the idea of having to shell out tons for Torva/Virtus/Pernix armour, if that will become the case Jagex better release non-degradable level 80-90 armour with the combat update that allow us to fully utilise our levels even if it doesn't offer boosts as great as degradable sets.

Bye-bye Surgeboxes. Edit - [qfc]296-297-224-63794252[/qfc]

Looking cool! And I'm loving the animations...and the legends cape <3:

Don't know if it'll help but I found during the Jubilee event if I turned off scenery shadows my fps would shoot up!

In the bts vids the ultimate blows (i think) can deal up to 5000 damage (arrow rain hit about 5000, the mage one hit about 4000 odd) so even with 15k HP it shouldn't be too bad! Plus with all the bleed effects and other weaknesses I think it'll add more variety but not necessarily make fights slug fests.

Think this is the best topic to post in, Mod Jacmob has meant to have revealed that Optimus will come out in July and that it 'will not be delayed further'. Edit - Page 96, Mod Tom B [qfc]25-26-368-63605929[/qfc] So that was earlier on in the month but it would seem Jacmob has moreso confirmed it will be next month now.

We are getting Turmoil equivalents for Range and Mage :) and I assume there'll be some lower tier versions of such prayers as well. There are lower tiers of such prayers already, thats basically all prayer consists of. Saps and leeches offer the lower tier curse variant. Piety/Augury/Rigour offer the normal prayer equivalents then there's what like 3 levels of att/str/def/mage/range prayers in the lower end of the prayer book. I mean there's gonna be even more of them supposedly. In between percentages and such. Qfc? Proof? I've seen jmods say prayer is being overhauled. I've seen jmods say rigour and augury moving to knightwaves. I've seen jmods say about range n mage turmoil. But I've not seen anything saying they are adding any other new boosting prayers. Hence my supposedly. I'm not putting my full faith in the information because I wasn't around to see what the actual discussions were, only after thoughts which may be mixed up with opinions. I'm not in a position to state the sources but it's the same place where I've found earlier leaked releases of teaser images days/weeks before they are meant to be revealed.

There's been some talk going around although not confirmed that for melee armours at least the 'heavier sets' (platebody, platelegs, full helm, kiteshields) will offer more defensive boosts alongside better health bonuses whereas the 'lighter sets' (chainmail, skirt, helms, square shields) will give you better offensive abilities at the cost of defence. I think that is bloody awesome if that does turn out right, would really bring out more variety in choosing your armour sets!

Using a range top instead of gloves might be a better idea. I'm not sure if the accuracy > the chance to get double bolt shots, because the QBD has such low range defence. Oh, and red glowing eyes >>> yellow glowing eyes. Pretty sure swifts are better but I might suggest spirit cape instead of ava's for more steel titan specs, they help a lot. K I can do that and I can replace Gaze with T3 Corruption for red eyes :) Just tried it out with a royal crossbow instead and it is very effective, even someone like me who isn't particularly good managed to get the queen to the 4th phase in no time. I took 8 super restore flasks (silly me) but I could get away with just 2 (only used one up to that point). Could have filled up with more brews and spam a summoning flask more so my titan could hit way more and I would have done it!

Vine Whip is a smart idea. I like it, may have to take a few more attempts at the Queen further down the line and see if I can improve myself!

Stopped using SwiftKit wayyyy back, and I am quite content with just the official runescape browser so no problems for me. But I do feel sorry for anyone who has been impacted and hope it is resolved quickly and thoroughly.

I think Jagex must have listened to me somewhat. I speculated a good few weeks back about 'Royal' Dragon armour, where it looks exactly like normal dragon armour except it's black with gold and spiked trims (of course the gold for this set is white...but still). Rather impressed I came quite close. Although I did expect it to be level 80 Defence armour being close to the stats of barrows but non-degradable :lol:

Got this picture from another forum:

They had to hotfix so that graves appeared outside of the dungeon because people were losing items if too many graves stacked on top of each other. So understandably, that wasn't QA'd :)

Some kind soul blessed my grave and I remember what server I was on. Managed to get back my stuff, whew! Anyhoo, not exactly a bossing person but managed to get to the fourth phase rather comfortably, was going through brews a lot, even in the first stage but it just went rather smoothly I still felt. Suddenly just started getting destroyed by constant damage though in that final phase. Hardly used flasks, mainly my bog standard 4 dose brews and restores. I probably should have got rid of my Yak at that point and switch to my Steel Titan, I didn't use Dreadnips because my mouse clicks aren't always perfect. Think my setup of Dharok's platebody, Bandos tassets, Neitiznot, rapier (maybe get a CLS), dfs, steadfast boots, fury, onyx ring (i) and tokhaar kal will give me success eventually! Might consider getting the Equilibrium aura next month to guarantee damage against those bloody souls!
