They haven't really been reveal heavy so far.
Combat was like half taken up by 'pvm so far'
Talk of a few little things like the str change they are looking at.
Talk of a new solo boss for 2016 - literally no details beyond this.
Some super secret thing to be revealed in the 2016 session.
Talk of where Raids will go next - concepts for a Airut shaman plus concepts for air and fire elemental titans (like yaka is water)
Showed off Goebie volleyball - been in-game since raids launched but not found yet. From clip they showed seems to relate to hitting gongs after durzag dies.
Invention was really a lot of what we already knew littered with some concept art.
Ability to add perks/augments to weps, armour n tools that are t70+
Ability to make machines that do stuff.
Resources from disassembling.
Perked stuff levels up with you.
Aim to make more diversity (ie this sword has perks for dragons, this mace has perks for wyverns etc)
Jan 2016 launch for 1-99
Guild that you build and are master of & 100-120 comine later in 2016
Some stuff on the different xp curve for elites - 200m would be equiv of lvl 150. Level 70(ish) will be half way xp wise instead of 92.
NXT was just ooo look shiny, technical chatter. Still no info on when to expect it.

I'm curious do you actually think it is a bad idea in terms of the balance of combat classes as a whole - ie around issues of it being unfair meleers have to train twice as much for the same results as mage and ranged get etc. or does your view it is bad centre entirely on the fact it would be detrimental to you personally with your current stats?
After all this kind of change is inevitably going to negatively impact some players, but then with forewarning people have time to prepare and the end result does have boons for combat in the short term and oepns up options going forward.
Personally I'm of the view when an update is good for the game as a whole it's a good idea, even if it does have negative results to my personal position in the game. After all if we never made updates with a negative impact in some way we would never move on.
-
They didn't really go into details but one would assume so.
They alluded to the often popular suggestion and that suggestion has always been that Attack, Ranged and Magic are your class specific accuracy skills as you learn to use that weapon type. Whilst Strength moves to join Defence (and prayer summ etc) as a universal combat skill. Which would of course mean all combat styles need to be able to train it.
I'd hope that will mean 6 xp options for each class
Accuracy Skill
Strength
Defence
Accuracy & Strength
Accuracy & Defence
Balanced
But based on how melee is atm we may just see accuracy, str, defence, balanced
-
Loving a lot of the snippets coming from Runefest so far.
Think my top pick so far was Strength playing a bigger role in damage output including that it Magic and Ranged will now also be influenced by Strength not just melee.

- Make holy overloads if you never want to make anything else. It multiples your overloads by 1.5 (4 dose pot into 6 dose holy)
- Make supreme if you want more bang for your gp
- make supreme salves if you like convince :)
I'd concur with this.
The downfall of a lot of the otherwise useful combos is they are all overload based and normal overload + other effect just isn't really worth it vs Supreme overload and just taking your prayer/fire w/e separate.
In terms of ease of use supreme salves definitely are a nice combo, though all those effects in 1 go are a bit overkill in most places, decent choice for facing new bosses in quests or pvm though when your going in blind as it covers all your bases. They can be quite decent for KBD thanks to combo of fire and poison protect and I definitely found them a big help in Araxxor as they help keep prayer up taking some focus off potting, plus the anti-poison in there again takes focus away from potting.
-
Solomon will introduce a Revenant Outfit with a floating animation that sweeps you off your feet.
I was expecting Lunar Mage or similar, but I believe this is the "Magic" equivalent override set I've been waiting for |^_^|
Tbf if it combines floating and translucent ghosty goodness in a visually appealing way it'll be awesomesauce as a package.
-
Supreme Overload is awesome it costs less per dose than a normal overload but boosts more all thanks to the magic of creating 2 extra doses when combining.

Why do the DG journals vary so wildly in drop rate? lol wonder if I actually have em, even if they're not required
Because it's fun to screw with us.
The real fun bit is the long standing bug (I've seen enough reports of it to believe its a real bug at this point) where one random easy to get journal just never ever drops for you.
Cause I mean who doesn't get a drop of Marm n Thok 4 doing 1-120 dg with a fair bit of solo PLUS investing a good few hours into purposefully hunting for that journal... *eye twitches*
Just saying, with RNG it is possible to never get a drop, as easy as the droprate might be. In fact you can calculate how many people probably won't have had such a drop after so many times trying. The more people try to get such a drop the higher probability that someone doesn't have gotten such a drop. So it might just be really really bad luck :|
Usually I would agree but the sheer number of reports of this happening to people, specifically on the fairly easily obtainable journals that appears in lower floors, set against lots of time invested in dg and straight up hunting that journal screams bug to me.
By all means we could all be wrong and we've just had sucky luck to the max, but to me the volume of decent believable reports of this occurring is too high to fit with the statistical probability of it being sheer bad luck on rng.

From what I can see of general reports etc it seems to be a bug that just effects journals on the whole, but for each player it will only ever happen on one specific journal (At least not seen anyone report issues of 2 journals being hit)
All I can assume is there is some issue in the code that checks if you've got a journal before creating the drop that is making drop calcs think you've got it when the rest of the game doesn't.

^ In relation to that pre-emptively we should get the news bot sorted to be able to do [DS] for when they start makring darkscape updates perhaps.
-
I'd concur with Arceus outlook on this one.
OSRS got like 10* more interest and posts made about it at launch and look how dead it's sub-forum is compared to the main game ones.
The amount of interest shown in Darkscape on this forum so far a subforum would be like a hollow void of nothing.
-
Someday they'll actually do a tidy fix for that old hunger system instead of the hack of hunger happens but the pet will never run off.
Also I'm so glad they fully took fishing overrides into consideration so i can conjure fish from mid-air in a way that doesn't look at all derpy.
-
Make the best pouch you can make for your level with each charm, there are very few pita exceptions to skip such as pouches that use other charms (void, abyss etc) or have overly expensive/awkward seconds for the xp (eg wolpertingers)
Oh and golds are pretty much worthless, they give really bad xp.
-
I feel like those coin things will be fixed before I really get time to even try it and since I'm not maxed and have like no legendary gear even the easy missions you mission can be rather taxing/time consuming still.
In good news though my Warlock is now clear off all the Crota and Wolves story missions and is now a Stormcaller

You have to attack it before you can use the key on it.

From the way they talked it seemed as though it was very much expansion of the existing in regards to the new arrivals and I'd expect it will mean some warrior guild sprucing up.
I'm curious where they'll place the ranged defenders if magic go to MTA. Only ranged centric location with anything approaching a game would be the Ranged guild, but my god what an overhaul that'd need for that addition.
Also particularly curious on how they'd form a ranged defender - melee being a dagger-ish thing makes sense. Magic you can kinda do what the heck you like cause magic - can pretty much just be special orbs/books that do both things. But ranged? Curious to see what sort of blocking/parrying AND damaging thing you can come up with. A shield x-bow maybe?
-
They listed a bunch of stuff, the main points were keeping most of what they have now (parrying chance etc) but ramped up a little along with 3% (might've been 6, I can't quite recall was deffo a low 3 multiple thou) accuracy boost and make them work for both dw AND shield abilities.
They said the aim was that they would have a nice niche use in slayer etc. rather than being like pvm worthy.
It sounded like it had good potential, particularly for harder to beat trash mobs (ie like airut if your a bit low/dont have t90s)
-
So the latest stream dropped some rather big bombs:
Defender revamp phase 1 - melee defenders is due out next month.
It will include adding t70 80 and 90 defenders.
There is a phase 2 to add magic and ranged defenders - mage training arena was mentioned related to magic ones but needs some revamp to accompany that.
-
The loot is deffo improved for year 2 - I'm finding green gear all over the shop in the crota missions that outstrips the blue gear I've already got.
Also so glad i got the level boost from legendary, jumped my titan right to lvl 25 with a full set of rare gear to boot. Now I only need worry about noob grinding on my hunter.
I got as far as what I assume is one of the last crota missions where u destroy his soul in tht crystal thing today. Died to a thrall when crystal was near dead - was like my health is low but its so close to dead ill keep shooting. Bad choice. Will go back to it later this week, just wanted to do a lil bit 2nite.

On a similar note: 17gb worth of updates yesterday. That sure was a fun thing.I've been home for like 15 mins and my playstation is still on 'preparing to download update' -.-
That was the one we all had to download at the weekend to add the Taken King content to the game.

I kinda felt like they made the boss hard in this one in a very cheap way.
Like Vanstrom etc were hard because they were hard, with the blisterwood/flail/silver/w/e requirement.
Drakan compared to Vanstrom would be easy in equal circumstance the difficultly was purely from extreme restrictions on gear, which felt a bit cheap imo
Also for anyone who thought they couldn't live up to Ana's legacy - don't worry they killed basically every character in the entire series because who needs characters for the finale?
At least the sunspear sword thingy is kinda useful I guess and Drakan Wings look good.
