  1. Why doesn't jagex just tell us the formulas.. like seriously.

    Yep, why would it hurt them to do so? Really this is something that shouldn't be a big deal to release and could have all sorts of cool applications. I think they should also explain how defense of monsters is figured out also.

  2. In the same post they say they look at 99% of the suggestion forum's posts. So from that it should be obvious not to take that post seriously.

     

    :lol: My thought as well. I actually prefer they continue doing incremental upgrades because it seems like it would more likely lead to more powerful weapons than a re-balancing would.

  3. At least this will get people to waste a great deal of money. Counter-inflation. :thumbup:

    Congratz! You have failed basic economics! Your prize is one facepalm from me.

    Yeah, all this does is allow the money to change hands, since none is being taken out.

     

    False, millions invested in runes will be needed to win, and with hundreds of people each investing in runes, you will see some counter inflation.

    But those runes are being used and not resold, they are being taken out of the game so they can't change hands again.

  4. I'm sorry, I just have to vent a bit.

     

    BAL'LAK THE PUMMELLER, YOU FAIL. :evil: :evil: :evil:

     

    Seriously, this is easily the hardest boss fight in solo runs... I'm rushing F33 on Comp 1 to practice on this guy (and perhaps obtain the journal part), and every time I meet this guy, I keep dying like 3-5 times.

     

    I've even lured him to the green portals to lower his defense, but even then he was still tough to hit... not to mention he deals very rapid damage. >.<"

     

    Any tips against this guy? I've tried slash, crush, and ranged, and none were effective. (No weakness maybe? :wall: )

    Summary: Drop a gatestone outside the room and when his defence gets too high teleport out and wait about a minute for it to lower.

  5. Regarding Mauranius, this is what I got on his BlogScape post: here if you want to know.

     

    Hey Sonic,I'm not sure about getting back on the top f2p list, after all I didn't do 99 prayer the way you actually should. Mind me I've never payed Jagex a dime, but I broke a certain rule while training that skill ;)

    He's back (which I'm pretty sure means he rethought about his actions before), but this is what he said. What the heck @ bolded part? :blink:

     

    I think the bolded part means that he botted it.

  6. It impedes them a lot.

    You have yet to explain how. If you actually think that a software company has everyone sitting around on their hands from the time they announce an update until when it happens, well, you're wrong. And if you think Jagex only knows 10 minutes before an update goes live that it's going to go live, well, again, you're wrong.

     

    If they run into technical difficulties in that time, you know the community in Runescape. They will be hung drawn and quartered for saying they planned an update for x time, even if it was something minor.

    The community is the way it is in large part because of the very "keep them in the dark" policies that you are defending!

     

    Most RS players start every week expecting an update by 4 pm GMT on Monday. When that doesn't happen, they expect an update by 4 pm GMT on Tuesday and so on. Why? Because updates often occur on Monday or Tuesday, and Jagex never tells us what the hell is going on. The expectation is there already -- what is NOT there is any useful information.

     

    Most of the time they know which day of the week is going to be the update day. So tell us! And if it slips, it slips. Guess what? They're doing this already anyway. Except the only time we hear from them is when things go wrong. Tell us in advance, warn that dates aren't set in concrete, and if people whine, IGNORE THEM. That is the proper way to do things.

     

    They are at least getting better about telling us when updates are delayed. They are unfortunately missing out on the positive potential here that they could reap by telling us when the updates are scheduled.

     

    The idea that all of the reasonable customers should be kept in the dark because a few unreasonable sots will complain if a deadline slips is too preposterous to seriously consider.

     

     

    Sorry, but do you not remember how much ranting BTS lead to? The keeping in the dark strategy is working much better than that system did. There would be ranting for EVERY update, no matter how good it was due to people making the wildest assumptions on the smallest things , e.g the robin hood hat fiasco.

     

    I do think that small hints, such as their twitter hints are good, but giving definite details on any update will bring nothing but pain for them.

     

    Jagex do tell us when an update has hit a wall and is not coming. The posts are even commonly posted here in various thread, you just need to look for them.

    This has nothing to do with BTS! That told details of an update, we are simply talking about either extending the system update warning to 30 minutes or telling us the expected day. Much more ranting is about actual content rather than just time of release. You only need to worry about them running into a technical difficulty during that time as much as you do now. They press the button only when completely done and that should stay the same. They won't say, "I think we should be done bug hunting in 20min, lets start the timer now."

     

    Personally I would rather wait a day and know the update will be tomorrow then be anxious waiting. If we knew there would be no update on a day unless that told us the day before it would make this whole problem so much less. For example they completely finish the update at 2pm Monday, they then post saying that the update will be Tuesday rather than releasing it then.
