Triquos

[hide=] [/hide] Holy shizzle! That looks like a dragon pickaxe or summit :shock: nice work! What can it do too if you don't mind? :mrgreen:

Yus! Did it! Lit 6 in a row with 9 minutes (to be EXACT) left before the 1st one went out. I did the one in the monastery first then tellied to edge with glory, did the ones along the wildy ditch and then the one at rag and bone man. I found you can quick pay the people by using one of the logs on them (and clicking on the *yes don't remind me again* thing while you're at it) So afterall it looks promising that when I get 92 FM (1 lev away) and I use mage logs and one of those -smash the orb- things to tele to goblin village, I think i'll be able to do it with practice \

Did you give those fire watcher weenies 5 logs to look after the fire? I did the first time, hardly did a scrap of difference. I'm going for my 2nd attempt now, if I fail i'm never trying again unless they make it easier. Definitely not going for the gloves and the highest one considering how hard it is already. It's sad coz those gloves look hawt... another couple items i'll never have :cry:

Wasted a couple hundred thousand on yews now, I put all the logs in so I didn't have to bank back and forth, and didn't make it in time.. nice going jagex.. we're not superman you know :roll: higher logs need A LOT more time considering how much more it cost me for failed attempts :shame:

How do you get the new items? 3 beacons in a row? Using good logs on the beacon? I'm getting nothing =[ and I even got the people to look after them and they fizzle out in like 2 mins :roll: so much for that..

Nice amount of cash, p hats, chaos, bloods, and well.. everything! :shock: If I was as rich as you i'd buy all 4 godswords and all the gadgets and have a blast in CW :lol: or buy all 99s.. :mrgreen:

and this... is correct. Which is extremely frikken annyoing in my opinion, but I suppose that it helps stopping people like me from exploiting it too much -.- Darn #-o well ty to everyone who answered and helped me out :thumbsup: and wo00o0o0o0ot I can now afford AGS :P although it just dropped 3.9M so I might wait a little longer till I get it :cry:

So many different answers :ohnoes: I'll look into Bloodargon's one a bit later on, I stayed up to 3AM this morning to try and see when it changed (NZ time) but couldn't stand staying up any longer lol so between 3AM - 12:30PM it updated #-o

Preferably in New Zealand time \ I want to buy an animal mask as soon as it changes but I can't seem to figure out exactly when it happens :cry:

I think it would be fair, although the 99 cape stats are really good and if they became f2p then it would be really overpowering the f2p cape-system, i mean, the team capes have what.. 1 defence.. for it to be like.. 11 defence.. you'd almost HAVE to have a 99 cape to withstand other people in f2p fights. Maybe have f2p 99 capes but they have 4-ish defence bonus and cost 33k (1 third of 99 =D) just throwing some ideas out there.. \

Very nice! :thumbsup:

I fail to see how that has anything to do with helping me with my disconnection problems Sloter, and thanks for insulting me :| With the firefox thingy - that too is in the already tried list It seems to me no one is actually reading the thread to see what has and hasn't been tried so i'm closing the thread. I'll just get my cousin to try fix it or my brother now.

I try to get the window seat lawl : I once took a photograph as we were coming back to NZ, dunno which island it was but it looked kewl and the photo came out perfect \ Other than that I try to get a portable movie thingy (if they don't provide the movie service already) but even then I usually watch most of the movie and there's like 30 minutes remaining and we're nearly landing so I have to fastforward it and miss out all the words so I don't really understand how it ends lol - happened to me with the number 23? movie with jim carey in it

^ indeed \ funny how Valerie just threw it once and it was all that was needed to win \ Sad that Mahe Drysdale got sick =l I bet he could have won gold if it wasn't for the stomach bug thing :| still, bronze medal is good :D That ever-swyndell race was heartstopping too! We won by .1 of a second :shock: I felt for that 2nd team :( I woulda been really mad if that was me :|

OS = Operating System? Sorry i'm not good with this stuff :oops: My mum's getting my cousin to come over next week sometime now, so HOPEFULLY it'll be resolved \ it's sad, I can't really imagine playing runescape without disconnecting :cry: Off topic: WOOT 2 gold medals for NZ \ bout time I say :P

Thanks guys but that's in the already tried list :cry: I restored it two weeks before it all happened and still nothing different. That's one thing I thought for sure would fix it :|

I could quite easily believe that, and I do think that happens. If you bought 40 zerker necklaces and you managed to buy 20 with, say, 800k money back, you don't get the rest of the money when you eventually buy the rest of the necklaces. So where is the rest of the *potential* money going? Down the drain I reckon :x I think you're right.

Because i've done that ;) About disabling the firewall - unfortunately i've done that too =( lemme add that to the list :cry: Edit: disabling the firewall - added to the list of tried things :cry: I think if worse comes to worse i'll get my cousin to come in and try solve the problem, get my brother to defrag the computer, or just buy my own computer (mum and dad won't let me wipe the computer clean coz they think it might ruin the other computers coz they're linked up) and if a new computer doesn't work then it'll definitely show that it's something to do with the wiring in the house - we've always had bad lines in our house with lightbulbs exploding, flooding from the dishwasher when we first moved in etc. etc. but if it was a wiring problem the whole computer would be effected not just RS, so it shouldn't be that :|

I was teamed against 4 people, my team left me so I was by myself =l luckily I kept winning with my level 66 RC and RC robes lol, I actually beat them 5 times in a row which was pretty weird. Yea, then I disconnected :wall: thanks stupid computer :roll:

Hmm i've tried that before :cry: I also tried reverting back to the 2007 trend micro version to no avail. And yet it all started when I downloaded the 2008 trend micro version, I just don't get it :wall: Also when the problem didn't exist, all 3 computers in our house ran runescape perfectly, but when we installed the 2008 trend micro version on all 3 of them, they immediately went disconnect-crazy when playing RS. I think trend micro 2008 version enabled or disabled something which is making me disconnect in RS, i'm 90% sure that's the reason :pray:

^ [bleep]ey vambraces Well I was cutting yews and some guy wanted me to do the emote for him, not realizing this until I clicked the *click to play runescape* button after disconnecting. After doing the emote, I then get told i'm a no lifer by him and he runs off? Pretty sad. What has RS come to... is it me or is there an increase of immature people these days? Errrg. Just previewed my post and the image won't go bigger no matter what I do :roll: I give up. Hopefully you guys can read it :P

Ok so this problem started around the 15th of April this year. RS ran fine for me for the last 5 years and then as soon as we downloaded the newest version of trend micro internet security 2008, Runescape started disconnecting 50+ times a day (not exaggerating.. I actually counted how many I got in 1 and a half hours and I got 25, so times that by 2 and you have atleast 50 a day). It was INSANE, i'm sure internet cafe's were doing even better than me. It is slightly better now, but i'm still disconnecting 30+ times a day. (note that i've played guild wars and I only disconnect maybe once every now and then, this also doesn't happen with other games i've tried so it seems to only be runescape related) Here are my system specs: Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Java version: Version 6 Update 7 Processor speed: 6300 @ 1.86GHz Amount of RAM: 2GB Web browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 (version i've always used and everything ran fine on) Internet Connection: Broadband - Telecom as the internet provider Graphics Card: NVidia GeForce 7600 GT Approx. Total Memory: 256MB So as you can see I have a very high speed and capable computer, it's not as if it's an old crapper as such :lol: Now I don't know the cause, i've tried almost everything (except for wiping the whole computer and starting fresh), so these are some of the things i've tried that didn't do anything: - Internet versions 6.0 and 7.0, mozilla firefox and safari - Trend micro internet security 2008 - Trend micro 2007 (previous version used when everything WAS running fine) - Uninstalling trend micro (both versions) - Disabling the firewall feature in trend micro - AVG antivirus software - Latest version of Java (version 6 update 7) - RS downloadable client - Tried all servers and at different times (highly populated worlds make me disconnect faster) - Using only runescape by itself (no other windows open like video sharing websites, music etc.) yet before this problem I could have 5+ windows running and still not disconnect, so this shouldn't be the cause. - Low and High detail - Playing RS using all the *java options* (sun java, microsoft java, unsigned and signed java) - Made sure we have the ethernet lead cable (which helps a lot with disconnections etc.) - Made sure we have up to date filters (even bought and put in new ones to make sure) - Got in a computer specialist for $140 to take away the computers and run scans. Results came back and said it had nothing to do with the computers - Restarting the computer, as well as the modem - Uninstalling the internet versions as mentioned before, and installing them again - Internet (watchdog) and phone (telecom) providers both said it wasn't a problem at their end (but these days no one ever wants to claim responsibility for these things so..) - Sent 3 queries into Jagex over the course of 2 weeks and all came back with automated responses (although the last query did actually have ONE sentence claiming defragging the computer would seem extreme :roll: yes it would be.. but it seemed my only option when all they were doing was telling me to try things i've already tried) - As a last resort I did a whole system restore TWO weeks before it all started and it did nothing, so that SHOULD have fixed the problem but it didn't so... Possible causes: ** Internet provider - Watchdog (it's a game problem so, this would usually be the main culprit lol :lol: ) ** Phone provider - Telecom (usually not good with communication and facing problems - as the guy we spoke to about this took forever to answer, so much so that we thought he hung up on us but he hadn't LOL, he was very unhelpful and we stated everything we tried and he just said it was probably our computer and that it was too old or something - which it clearly isn't, so we just ended up no better off than before) ** Trend micro internet security 2008 (could have enabled/disabled something that shouldn't have been) as I don't think it was COINCIDENCE that all the disconnections started when we installed the 2008 version. ** The computer specialist said it could also be a problem with Jagex's server lines, so when it comes back here in NZ, I disconnect. But not everyone is facing this problem (I do know a few that have this exact same problem but it's such a minority that Jagex probably won't take any action if this was the case anyway) and if that's the case, shouldn't every disconnection be the same time apart? E.G. disconnect exactly every 5 minutes etc. so I don't think this is the case but it's still possible. As a last resort I think I might just get assistance from my cousin who knows tons more than most people, either that or i'll try to get my brother to wipe the computer and start fresh. If the problem still occurs then it will tell me that it is either the computer itself, or the connections within the house (internet/phone provider) which will be awesome.

Not going to happen, they have the filter there for a reason - to block swear words and other innapropriate content. If you wish to play more adult-like games I suggest you look for a different game because myself, and i'm sure many others, don't want RS to become a feeding ground for swear words and IRL dating - that's what the REAL WORLD is for :P Oh, and before you quote me and flame me for my opinion, i'd like to tell you that if you don't want to listen to people not agreeing with your idea, then you should close this thread - because everyone is entitled to their opinion... good or bad :

Now that you mention it, it doesn't sound like nerf material at all because it takes a while to finish the minigame either way, and by the time it's finished there's not much difference than you doing trips the normal way \ so hopefully it won't be nerfed afterall :mrgreen: plus, i'd rather do the minigame and do RC later the fun way - with the teletab thingies :P
