[Runescape becoming unplayable]

With respect to the issue of lag -- I've noticed that, since the bot bust, most of the worlds have got triple-digit pings to me right now -- which goes a long way to explaining the "lag" as far as I am concerned. There's very few worlds with low "pings" and those that do have lower pings are generally more crowded and tend to lag as a result of that (like w60 penguin hunting).

 

Not to mention that, with the recent and untimely death of my home PC, I've been forced to limit my playing time to shared time on my hubby's computer, which is not much of a computer to begin with. :unsure:

 

But yes -- I've got some terrible lag at present ...

With respect to the issue of "stuck in the lobby" issue:

 

 

I got stuck in the Dominion Tower when I logged out in the middle of an Endurance trial. After that, I could not log in past the lobby.

 

I could log in on my F2P noob fishing account from the same computer.

 

I logged in on one of my son's computers, and was able to access beyond the lobby. So I got out of the Dominion Tower and banked my gear at Mobilizing Armies bank. After that, I had no more issues with getting stuck in the lobby.

 

That said, I am still not able to get into my clan's citadel using the same computer that I could previously not gain access past the lobby. I am note sure if this is an issue with "cookies" or what it may be. I intend to try tonight and see if I can gain access from specific computers in my house.

 

I'd strongly suggest to anyone that's having issues logging in past the lobby to try and gain access to the same account from another computer and see if that helps.

 

Good Luck!

 

That doesn't work for me sadly :( I can't log in on different accounts as well. Changing my graphic settings doesn't work either. I'll just have to wait I guess. Not much I can do about this.

At least you guys can still log in :P

Anyone else still not able to login ( over 24hrs later...) I feel like i should be prorated a day of membership for this cabbage

 

Nope, I still can't log in.

[Runescape becoming unplayable]

I can't even log in anymore :P My screen turns black when I try to enter a world from the lobby.

Dicking around with the website again

Dicking around with the control interface which is like minimized beyond belief to start with on full screen HD

 

Garbage month indeed.

 

And a new Slayer dungeon.

It would be nice if I could actually log in on a world from the lobby instead of getting a black screen everytime...

Jagex really needs to add a Ranged Strength bonus to crossbows. Ranged doesn't need more accuracy. It needs to deal more damage.

 

The crossbow looks epic nontheless. Any pictures of the staff yet?

[Future Update Discussions]

So there's a big combat triangle rebalance on it's way? Interesting. I hope it comes out soon.

Wouldn't magic slaying not be so much as a joke with storm of armadyl being released

In maxed gear (virtus arcane etc) using overloads I can kill monsters far quicker than people using rapiers.

Only on a few tasks

 

Suomi is missing a lot of ticks in his slayer vids.

 

Storm of Armadyl is better than Melee for everything but dark beasts, jungle strykewyrms, spiritual mages and vyrewatch.

 

Assuming 100% accuracy for both classes, Storm of Armadyl is 21% more raw DPS than a maxed meleer. Magic has higher accuracy than Melee on most tasks as well.

 

Is there a reason as to why Green does her tasks with Magic? I saw her Fire Surging gargoyles once, but why doesn't she just melee them?

 

She doesn't use storm of armadyl, she used bandos + lava staff to mage ice wyrms.

 

Haha, seriously? :P

Isn't that going to increase the price of runes a lot? :( PvM Magic is expensive enough already.

[[WIP] How to do DKs RIGHT as a high-levelled player]

Why don't you understand about Storm of Armadyl? I always use it at DKs, so maybe I can help you.

 

Edit: here is some information about Storm of Armadyl (SoA):

 

Ice Barrage has a max hit of 490 with a chaotic staff. At 100% accuracy, that's an average hit of 245. Since you can cast one Ice Barrage every three seconds, you will deal 81,66 DPS on average.

 

Storm of Armadyl has a minimum hit of 227 and a max hit of 478 with an Armadyl battlestaff. That's an average hit of 352 at 100% accuracy. You can cast one SoA spell every 2,4 seconds. This means it does 146,66 DPS.

 

Dagannoth Rex has 2,550 LP. It takes 10/11 casts to kill him with Ice Barrage. It takes 7/8 casts to kill him with Storm of Armadyl.

 

As for price comparisions: one Armadyl rune costs 1,700 gp on the GE. Ice Barrage costs 1,278 gp per cast. This means you spend 12,780 gp on average per Rex kill with Ice Barrage, and 11,900 gp per kill with Storm of Armadyl.

 

So not only do you kill Rex a lot faster with SoA, it's also cheaper. You get more Rex kills per hour, which means more profit as well :)
