Use of environmental effects - e.g. since this is set in a cave, falling rocks that kind of thing that the player has to move out of the way of. Use of defensive abilities - have the boss have something like reflect, to make players think more carefully about when they use abilities. (Nex and KK do this a bit, but having the damage reflected would make it more important) Attacks that do more damage to people wearing gear of a certain class. Locational damage - think the QBD super hot breath attack. But you could have a bit of a twist so that whilst this attack is active, if the player stands closer to the source of the damage, the player damage is also increased, meaning the player has to balance damage taken vs damage dealt. A higher emphasis on DPS in aggro calculations (if one player can tank whilst the rest of the team just goes max DPS on the boss, it makes things unnecessarily easy.) Minions/Adds that aren't completely trivial to deal with or completely ignorable. Perhaps have killing the minions be optional, but relate the boss's damage somehow to the number of minions (with a cap to) so that killing the minions will make the kill easier, but slower. E.g. if all minions are dead the boss deals 75% damage for the rest of the fight. If the boss is magic based, have it be more susceptible to normal/ancient spells in different phases so your team requires players on both spellbooks. Just off the top of my head :P [/hide]It's important to think of the things that players can use: Abilities, prayers, style switching, movement, designated roles, food, familiars and cannons. Both monsters and players should be able to use all of these - boss mechanics will decide whether the cannon is worth it. Monster health, autoattacks and defence are just ways to keep a constant pressure on the players. For example in pre-EoC Nex you saw that players were using the most tanky gear possible (Pernix, divine, even SoL tanks on ice phase) because the pressure was very high. Post-EoC Nex you see that only the tank really bothers (and helps the team, with Provoke and luring for example), the pressure is lower - also because Nex herself is less tanky, so phases are shorter. [/hide] So what your are saying is that this boss should combine the abilities use of warband NPCs, the style switching and 1 hit ko of KK, the phases and prayer of Nex, and the healing abilities of current bosses, including in dungeoneering bosses? Basically the best traits of current bosses. Just to be clear. Because if that's what you are saying that sound very tough for players to fight. I'd be scared to try it. I don't think it would be as difficult as it sounds. Would probably have to bring multiple combat styles and camp a shield all fight.

I rented this game when it first came out but had no interest in purchasing it. I recently bought Cod 4 on pc and have been having fun with that. Maybe I'll get the new one when it's released.

I have 0 :D

What a shame. I guess I won't be able to make it again. I suppose I'll keep saving for next year's event. If it's in Europe again I'd probably be able to stay with a friend until it's over.

I don't like the sound of that at all :(

You should really give EOC slayer a shot. It's pretty fast / easy and still good charms, especially at higher levels.

the only teles there I imagine being too useful are polypore and chaos tunnels just for slayer tasks.

in EE the only goal you're allowed to have is gain as much clan xp as possible

One of you generate the code, the other inputs the code in DGSweeper. Try testing it by placing a few keys on the map. Honestly, I rarely use the feature so I don't know too much about it.

Dungeoneering. Saints Row the Third. COD 4. The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing. I also purchased a humble bundle pack a couple weeks ago and haven't tried any of the games yet.

Favour FFA teams?? I can't think of anything that would make FFA preferable other than items being worth more than listed in GE, which they usually always are on release.

28018. Happy to join you.

It would be alright if people actually played it.

Yeah. Don't even think about using a deflector these days..

Not really sure why you're using Norton in the first place :?

then how do you prolong your trip? Previously you blocked all melee damage that was done by bandos, and then yip/eee would heal you back up. Nowadays you do have the heal ability, however you do no longer have the full protection, nor soulsplit. This is even more true for slayer tasks such as spectres/dragons, how do people survive nowadays? Healing and defensive abilities will help you a lot. If you use higher level Defensive gear you won't be taking much damage anyways. To get the most out of your trips then you would want to have turmoil and soul split, but you would also want a yak and unicorn.

I really, really hope that it doesn't. And I'll laugh at all the people who broke bank on the wand and book. and the kits are purely cosmetic*

Just out of curiosity, why not make your 2nd account a member as well? You obviously know more about members servers and I'd imagine you'd have a much better time there. As for the actual question, I think mining+superheating steel bars was an alright money making method with some nice xp gains as well. If you have access to the resource dungeon in the fally mines (not the mining guild) then the bank deposit box can be very useful.

soul split isn't nearly as useful as it used to be. you already have extremes and super-antifires so I wouldn't worry about overloads. Overloads were very necessary at most bosses because of saradomin brews, now that brews aren't as good ovl lost a lot of value in my eyes. If I were you I'd try to get a chaotic maul then go bossing. QBD and Bandos are both extremely easy and have an alright gp/hr rate. The hardest part of transitioning to EOC for me was learning all of the abilities. You might want to slay for a bit to get used to them before you take on some of the more dangerous monsters.

with a mainhand shield and offhand whip? something seems to be a bit fishy here

Not with a constant flux of new players who "need"/equipment the horn at certain levels. Runescape should really shed away some of those long term members and work on refreshing its userbase (Or imo a total reset at RS3). They would never do this but that's a very interesting idea. I wonder how many people would just quit if they did..

Yes, you don't want to use ice barrage because freezing them will mess you up. Also, get a bonecrusher and split dragontooth necklace. Then you can camp soulsplit and not have to worry about running out of prayer.

ctrl+down arrow key

You'll catch Catkiss soon. Haha
