True plus why would Zaros look Mahjarattian? The desert gods brought the Mahjaratt to Gielinor only to have them later abandon them for Zaros which means Zaros is not a mahjratt who became a god (barring some epic twist)

Yeah Sliske was like my third choice my only doubt was that his model was so recent why would they update it? Where as Bilrach/Moia have been down in Daemonheim for aaagggggeeeees so they prob woulda changed clothes. But then on the otherhand Sliske model is very bland as mahajratt go so would make sense for it to be updated, plus it would tie in with the figure apeearing at GWD (he tricked someone into awakening nex) and the fact that Osbourne hinted we might be seeing Nex in this quest. Alos 'shadowy figure' Sliske delves the shadows trope and his stalking of us would key in since we know he wants to make us a wight like the barrow bros.

I suspect the shadowy figure may be Bilrach or Moia; the face under the hood has ridges that seem Mahjarattian for sure and the magic hnads reminds me of the power Moia got near the end of tht saga

Does that not amount to the same thing anyway? If the ticks are happening .6s apart then one could say a tick is .6s it really makes no difference to the final outcome.

Hold the phone! Are you actually saying Jagex has given us a unique weapon, designed for killing specific monsters, that may not only be actually worth using but may actually be a contender for one of the best weapon choices in-game? Are we in the matrix since this update o.O

Only a tease if you hadn't already realised when the quest would be around a fortnight ago when the sinkholes friday video showed next week as a community management video meaning the quest would not be this week but the week after.

Clicking the link on the hope page forces your vote, doesn't lead you to the information page. You know I thought they would rig it but this is stupid. You mean the 'vote yes now' button? Kinda obvious it's gonna cast a vote, but I'd agree a bit underhand to force the vote. Some how I get the feeling Jagex over-estimated the vocal minority and are now trying to push it as they know the 50k bracket isn't going to work as people won't pay.

Awesome for fansites to get uniform, tidy pictures of monsters (once it's out of beta and working properly) Also good for meta's to get more precise data on monsters.

You don't even get the titles automatically - they just appear in customisation interface with no ceremony or warning. Was a few days into to ports before anyone even really realised they existed.

Indeed as has been said a million times before: The vote is to gauge number interested in playing and thus financial viability and price level needed Votes with non intention to play artificially inflate this figure. If its artificially inflated pricing may end up cheaper, but this won't necessarily be good as there will be far less players than the price was designed to work for. Also stop trying to guilt people into voting who do not wish to, it's kinda lame and childish. I mean not once have any of us who not voted tried to guilt you people into not voting; we've simply said we aren't voting and why.

Wrong digsite. Everyone is refering to the new digsite beside legends guild.

Yeah cause peak-time paid off so well the first time round where votes just kept going down... And realistically all told this is still quite a small blip so doesn't make much difference to the projections people made mathematically, maybe bumps results up by 5k or so total, still interesting to see how it's wavering around though.

Should appear as a yellow banner at top of window

I think theres a few key things to remember with the bestiary atm: 1) It's a beta its not going to run perfectly 2) It requires storing a large amount of data, this means it'll be slow to load stuff at first viewing 3) With the initial rush of interest load times will be slowed due to everybody and their mum loading it.

agreed, you HAVE to have those quests to actually even understand what they talk about anyway... I'm not sure about the lvl reqs but I would say to get the full rewards in the end, as in all the hidden ones as well, we're going to need 90 prayer among other levels. [hide=Spoiler] We should make up a list of what happens where after you've done this, and where to go to see all of the cutscenes and such. just a suggestion For starters, I used the shortcut next to the ge and the figure appeared for a second as I went under and reappeared, some others have said that he appears at GWD, and at the digsite as well. List any others you see and I'll try to update them here. [/hide] [hide] GWD is a mahjratt. The digsite and ge are both a shadowy mage[/hide]

Thankfully it only takes you to the vote page, it doesn't register a vote :) Refreshing misplaced's data scrape is fun to see the blip progress. 5min scraps vote per min already gone from 60-ish to 25ish again, so back to the fairly stable 10ish rate soon.

There will certainly be a short-lived resurgence in voting via the lobby banner catching those who never read the news, forums etc..but yeah it already seems short-lived the 5min scraps had a brief 60 blip and already halved down to 30 again

You can zoom by scrolling over the bestiary window

So they kept the hints nice and subtle then... Side-bar Jmods did allude to the fact this quest might contain hints towards the new skills so archeology could be a hint

I wouldn't take those stats verbatum atm since it's still beta and there are other notable errors. Eg fame is marked as attackable Most monsters can only show their melee attack animation (but other are possible check frosts) Hark-Aken lacks a head and both tentacles are marked as f2p

That's a bold claim. Where did they get that from? From the fact every time you load their applet they can log basic facts about how you access the game. Eg browser, OS etc.

Other news really has the gold this week: Resident out of sorts in rellekka Digsite near legends 2000+ and 2400+ worlds

I would point out my post was not a argument against 07scape servers, it was simply an observation of what I have observed thus far in debates pertaining to what the 0 day world will be like. I find it quite tiring that posting anything but sunshining out of your butt praise on this thread is immediately tagged as being an argument or bitter or negative towards 07scape; the vast majority of the posts since the vote begun from people who aren't pro 07scape have just been observational or thoughts yet keep getting jumped on as attacks about people's choice play style or complaints or w/e.

Continuing on from my last post, but slightly tangentially: I think, even now, a lot of people aren't fully grasping what the 0 game status will mean. Of course they've made comment about whips and getting the stats to pk but very few seem to of even considered the factor of all the other supplies the average pker would just buy in. I mean literal ground 0 game you are not going to be able to buy anything and even if you make goods you aren't gonna be able to directly sell them because theres gonna be very little gp about. People are going to be scrambling to get together bronze armour and some shrimp before they can even consider moving far beyond Lumbridge; and then they have the long road to scrap their way up to rune and lobsters to go and hopefully horde in some bones to train prayer so that you can survive the barrows to try and get some good gear. But lets not forget before you can even train prayer that well you will need to face hours upon hours of the ectofunctus or show how scrap together supplies to face the money sink that is construction. (After all construction was a big money sink when it was released even if inflation has lessened it; in a ground 0 world construction supplies are going to be like life savings for even a few measly things). All told this is why 07scape is kinda doomed in my opinion - at best it'll be botted to kingdom come and people will be able to get by via rwters; at worst it's going to burn out faster than a half used match as people realise they do not want to do all this training, especially in a world where it is made like 10 times harder because there is no initial supplies or gold to be had. Sure a miracle could happen, but some how I doubt a community predominantly formed of at best people who not really thought it through at worst whiny, quit at the drop of a hat, blinded by nostalgic delusions types its going to manage to sustain itself.

Of course there will be no economy at first in 07scape. Do you know what there will be lots of though? Players who do not want to grind fishing and cooking to get food. Players who do not want to grind mining and smithing to get armour Players who do not want to grind slayer to get whips Players who do not want to grind rc to be able to use magic. etc. Do you not what many of these players are likely to be willing to part with though? Money. It's a bot makers ideal setup they send in the bots grind through to the high end resources and make a killing rwting stuff to Nostalgic kids with more money than sense that don;t really want to play 07scape - they just to immediately have everything to go pking. Combine that with none of the modern bot prevention methods making bots easier to deploy and 07scape is a very appealing market to rwt botting setups.
