It's when you are in combat aka the combat stance. Also, as with most degradations, each enemy makes a separate count occur iirc. E.g. in combat with 2 hellhounds for 5 minutes = 10 minutes degrade.

They legally have to release them, but they get til like August i think it is before they start getting chased for it. Last year they were super late with it, like october.

I think the way it functions is certainly balanced, but that does not mean it isn't biased. In the vast majority of skilling situations the necklace slot is of 0 use, or negligible use (e.g. rabbit foot) where as in combat the necklace slot is highly used which does slightly bias it towards skillers seeing as they can use it to no detriment. But then again as its about the skills the quest needs I don't think that bias is necessarily an issue, though the inability to use it with dg when dg is one of the skills is a bias I think is an issue.

In general non-specialised gaming laptops will under perform compared to what their specs might suggest on gaming because they don't have a dedicated gpu like a decent gaming desktop does meaning the CPU is dealing with both running the functions of the game and generating the graphics which slows things down. Plus they are poor at cooling themselves leading to heat related lag. The options to improve fps are simple: 1) Turn graphics down 2) Get a better system 3) Get a better connection But overall just don't expect too much in terms of fps. My laptop runs at about 12 fps with the graphics turned down pretty low and thats with a 2.4ghz cpu and 8gb ram and a nice solid internet connection of ~10mb/s

I HATE when they make distributions require going to a specific store and its worse when you have to ask for a code from the staff too. It's like can't we just have like a website or something to go to to do something to get the code or just give it out over wifi! I wish they'd of made Vivillon breedable in terms of the pattern you get rather than the design being decided on evolve by the system its on. Makes it kinda impossible to get a nicely trained one with anything other than the pattern for your locale.

Unless of course you have done livid farm and then plain old trollheim was a redundant spell made somewhat useful by the swap to gwd location. Old Trollheim spell is still useful for 2 hard clue coordinations. True but it wasn't exactly the end of the world to reverse run from GWD or troll herb patch to the cords seeing as they are something you aren't likely to get all that often.

For me the biggest flaw in crystal ammy is there is no way to use it whilst dungeoneering, which seems like a glaringly stupid move considering its whole premise was help to reach the levels for elf city which includes dg yet you are penalised if you actually train dg because you can't wear it.

BA sounds promising, nows here hoping the calls are just 1 thing that always calls correctly to do away with the issue of [wagon]es who know they have to call but not how to call different things. It'd also be nice to see collector points tied in to the cannon usage more that previously especially with new egg effects just because collector always felt a bit primitive as a role since it was 'run around and pick up the right coloured drop - you don't have to do anything with them, just pick them up' Halloween my only meh point so far would be 'early fifth age' I'd of rather seen a mid-late 4th age thing just because lore wise it'd be a bit more interesting that this guy built this thing in a time before civilisation and human dominance had reformed and we are rather lacking in 4th age lore. Recent content has done nicely in plugging in some more 2nd age stuff (e.g. Zaros empire and seren coming up) and even first age has got some love (guthix shizzle) but 4th age is still rather a lore vacuum. Though this is of course a very minor niggle that won't really effect the quality of the content.

I fail to see how that tweet that says nothing about timing gives any sort of ordering to the line-up for the month.

To me in terms of requirements it is quite simple: A monster requiring gear equal to or higher than the gear it drops is a stupid design because it is supposed to be about progression and therefore you should be able to effectively complete anything supplying that next tier with 1 tier lower. @Hedgehog above I fail to see the logic there at all If Araaxor does not require level 90 weapons the player should own level 80 weapons or higher. If Araaxor does require level 90 weapons the player has to own level 90 weapons. Araaxor needing t90 1h doesn't some how mean you should own both 1h and 2h, because its not creating a use for 2hs. Also the whole point of eoc and the tiers being equal is to give the players choice - we are SUPPOSED to be able to decide whether to get t90 1hs or t90 2hs and not have a need for both. Creating a lockout to make getting the 2hs (Arguable the worse ones) require the 1hs would just be pandering to high levels, already have it alls, who want a monopoly on all the new top gear. Which is not something we should be aspiring towards, especially in a case where magic is already boned over in t90s by extreme exclusivity.

To add other examples of this: 1) Moving between university and home my laptop (and my desktop) did not need JAG reactivating whilst moving between the two locations - despite the fact both obviously had different external ips. 2) Trying to load betas on systems already JAG approved would trigger JAG again 3) Two computers on the same network (and thus the same ip as far as any external source is concerned) both required seperate JAG setups. 4) When my external ip changed needing me to tweak settings in mobile VNC to allow me to remotely turn off desktop from uni after downloads finished JAG did not require setting up again. The notion of anything security related being tied to your ip is just insane - it is the most accessible piece of information about your on the internet at any given moment and it is quite easy to use proxies and such to make it look like your using someone else's ip, which you immediately bypass any ip based security measures. And that's before you consider the fact, as previously mentioned, ISP give us all dynamic ips at the very least your ip is going to be changing around once a month, but it could be changing as frequently as hourly.

Jag isn't based off your ip in the slightest because that would be stupid since every ISP these days provides dynamic ips and thus everyones external ip is changing quite frequently, not to mention the fact it'd be horribly flawed in giving all devices on 1 network access because they share an external ip. Anyway Jag is going away soon-ish thanks to the new authenticator and if you activate the authenticator it should override JAG solving your issue. Also Jagex is useless at email responses these days best to bug @JagexSupport on twitter. But for the future the easy solution is: Don't have multiple email address for different things that you do not use and remember. That in itself is a major security flaw because if you don't know what emails you have where you cannot be sure they are all secure or that you aren't being sent important security warnings from things registered to them.

10 hours of combat i think, could be 12 though.

Nope, degrade to dust. Though they did recently make it so you can combine charges from multiples e.g. combine 2 50% bodies for 1 100% body.

I find it interesting how micro transactions have certainly hit a new stage in evolution in gaming. For a good few years it was a case of monetising and getting people to spend or lose out essentially, but now across the board players seem to be against that so there's suddenly this new culture where the game for pay stuff is non-essential or there is a way to get it without spending. I think jagex is still a little behind on this trend because the ad-thing for keys/coins is just dumb and scammy and very early 00s and there isn't really a solid in-game 0 real world money involve way to earn many keys or coins. I mean yes if you don't do quests you can horde keys in quickly, but its not like theres anything yet specifically built for only supplying keys and coins in exchange for player effort. The random spatterings of keys are certainly on the road to this more modern model, but I feel like to truly compete jagex needs to give us a game or training area that specifically gives out keys and coins to allow us to turn our grind into the 'premium' currency in place of xp and in-game stuff. And they need to throw in a few random ways to get runecoins too. That way in place of pay 2 win we can get the more popular modern model of pay 2 shortcut. I'd also think a part of this would be calming down with the th promos as well - every single weekend with the stuff only on there for 4 days is a bit much in terms of allowing us a fair crack at them without spending money (even if you made it so we could grind keys in-game) especially with how rare they make parts of it. The stuff, in general, ought to be more common or the promos more infrequent and longer. Especially when half these promo things are giving in-game benefit now.

. Ok first off that is a VERY good lore connection. I would like to know their explanation for the others. They literally just said in that update - you are reaping the souls for him - he wants strong monster souls you go get em. QBD is the only problematic one because you never kill her, you only restore her magically induced slumber.

I'm happy to see keepsakes improved for sure though - kinda feeling like I might keepsake most of the lvl 80 crystal gear - or atleast eh wand/orb, bow, shield and maybe stave and halberd subject to araaxor drops and of course their looks as a whole.

Meh rework doesn't really count as content to do in my book, I mean its nice and all but its nothing new to go explore and the rewards upgrades don't really sell me any reason to go back there again.

I have to say to me this is kinda another month of "and wheres the rest of the content..." The new boss will be good and is something for me to try my hand at, especially since I lack t90 range and mage weps atm, so they'd be a nice intermediate. Legacy mode eh don't care, so thats an 'off week' from my perspective. Promo thing with some cute rhinos, ok but its a promo not real meaty content. Twitch thing, prob took a fair bit to dev but again could not care less. At this rate I feel like when they said elf quest august, elf city 1 sept and elf city 2 nov that is like gonna be ALL the actual meaty content for those months, with halloween the only thing to do for october.

The fact 'all' and 'hybrid' both even exist is a mess. What purpose does it server other than subdividing useless supposed to be for mixed style armour into 2 separate groups of broke in slightly different ways? All class only really truly makes sense as a category for amulets and rings and maybe at a push capes aka the accessory items that can work with all classes and aren't really about hybridding - but even then its not strictly needed you could just as easily intdentify them by making them hybrid or just leaving off a class altogether.

I think void makes a nice example of the trouble with hybrid gear in eoc and Jagex's failings at really getting what players want in terms of upgrade. First it was one of the best armour sets for many things in game became utter garbage by being branded 'hybrid' - it's utterly stupid that hybrid armour is SO bad for its level just because 'oh you can hybrid with it' when half the point they up sold about eoc was dual wield hybriding (though of course this sucks for many other reasons beyond hybrid being useless) Then it slides further into the oblivion by the arrival of warpriest, a new top dog of hybrid that is actually high enough to have some iota of use left in it. Finaly they respond to calls for void to be upgraded and get people back into pc by 'upgrading' void from a dung heap of junk to look we sprayed it off with the hose a little bit, I'm sure its fine... status. If they really wanted to upgrade void they should've put a good level buffer between elite and plain void for starters - like say 50s-60s instead of 42 identical to plain. Then the upgrading patches could've pushed elite up to be a contender for warpriest

Note they said what one they do FIRST, not that the others would not happen. The entire wording of it heavily implies all 3 (and more) will happen in due course.

My main suggestion would be don't make a 1 def pure. Pures in general still aren't overly great in legacy, but some can work - but 1 def definitely isn't a workable option because defence is an important part of surviving just in terms of having somewhat decent armour. To be workable you probably want at least 50 defence for the basic welfare-ish gears.

Servers going down cannot kill a player. If a server dies thats it, everything ceases, you are not in combat and you cannot die. Server lag could kill ya, but a crash cannot. The death vs server crash thing only causes lose when you die BEFORE the server goes down, thereby meaning you have a grave up when it crashes as the grave (and its contents) are lost to the crash.
