There are many problems either way though, with any number of hotkeys above 3. that's a small number you might say, but that's not really the case: I have a gaming keyboard, most people don't. I can hold down 15 keys simoultaneously and have the (for example) 15 letters then appear continuously in alphabetical order. I can set the order too. Implications: with 4 hotkeys, i can do 4 actions in the same game-click, be it drinking a potion, turning on a special attack, switching a prayer and switching an armour piece (or weapon to spec with) in the same game click (or there would have to be insane limitations, rendering the new hotkeys limited in their use). That would be an unfair advantage over anyone with a normal keyboard. Thats like saying using Mousekeys is an unfair advantage. If you are dedicated enough to learn to use Mousekeys and set it up, or if you are dedicated enough to buy a gaming keyboard and set up macros, then you deserve the benefits. Otherwise, Jagex would have banned people using Mousekeys by now.

^ The reason why the Runescape community is a joke. Seriously, you've never played a game other than Runescape if you don't know what a real-time combat system is. Think WoW, think Oblivion, etc

It could be over done. Imagine hybriding: F1 switches between tank+mage top, f2 switches legs, f3 switches shield, f4 switches weapon, f5 casts ice barrage, f6 equips dds, f7 activates spec, f8 switches prayers..it'd be pretty OP. How is it OP when everyone has the same opportunity?

The fact that the difficulty of Runescape is based on menu-managing just shows how bad the core gameplay is. Having a user-friendly UI doesn't make the game EASY, it makes it USER-FRIENDLY. If you don't want Runescape to be easy, tell Jagex to introduce a real-time combat system with actual moves instead of the "click and wait" system we have now. Until then, any update that improves the UI and control scheme is very welcome.

The funny thing is that no matter how passionately you argue about this non-issue, Jagex isn't going to change their mindset. Carry on now kids, this is entertaining.

I'm a bit confused about the Twitter "no update" announcement. Does this mean the end of 4 updates a month?

Uh, Members costs 6 bucks a month. There goes your argument.

Uh, they dont. It's an end-game skill that isn't meant to be maxed by everyone. Just like Jagex doesn't "expect" anyone to get a 99, they don't "expect" anyone to get 120 Dungeoneering. They expect you to play the game. Oh, and:

Move along now, kids. :rolleyes:

This to, its a two way prejudice. When i achieved 100cb a couple of months ago, i found that a lot of people stated calling me a noob, or asking me what my summoning was and then going "haha your cb is only 96 or so then!". I think they were doing this because level 100+'s had done it to them. But i think some people who have my experience would start calling low levels noobs and make fun of their levels as a way of subconsciously getting revenge. So it continues in a never ending spiral of prejudice. Public Chat > Off Solves all of the problems with this terrible community.

I would prefer if Jagex had a week off, since the recent updates have been on Wednesdays, so they are behind on their release schedule. A nice Monday update the next week would be good :)

Lol.... It's "Lol", because you think that i am wrong, but you have not tried to prove it. But to write it more correctly this time: I think many great voice actors are within Anime field. Much better :wink:

How so? How so? I don't see an argument here; you're just insulting people, as per usual. Haha, still butthurt about me decimating your strawman argument previously? Don't worry, you'll get over it soon kid. :mrgreen: I have every right to insult people who lack any sense of judgement or common sense. Having a heated debate about a cosmetic "thank you" item is hilariously pointless. Inb4 "IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE ITEM": Yes, it is. You have no crystal ball or precedent, so you wouldn't know if Jagex is going to roll out this feature for paid items in the future. Jagex has vehemently stated that micro-transactions will not take place inside Runescape. War of Legends is a game thats only published by Jagex. Runescape is Andrew Gower's baby, and considering he owns the majority stake in the company, Runescape is never going to have micro-transactions. Hows that for an argument?

Lol....

No, we just don't hate Jagex for no apparent reason and dislike everything they do without real reason, just because of who they are. I'm not sure what they've done to you in the past to anger you, but just because we don't share that same anger and hatred doesn't mean we are "Kissing their [wagon]", that's just your overall view. Completely agree. When a person constantly finds negative aspects of every single thing Jagex does, that person ceases to have any credibility. The fact that a simple flag has turned into a debate over microtransactions and Jagex's philosophies regarding RWT just shows how idiotic the RS community really is. Psuedo-intellectualism at its finest.

I disagree. How is it fair that by accident of simply being born across the ocean from the eventual Jagex HQ that I have absolutely no opportunity to attend this event? Yes I can purchase the ticket and redeem the item if I seriously wanted to, but why would I put that money into an event and get 5% opportunity 'payback' than I would if I actually lived in England and could attend? I don't know. Call me bitter..but this doesn't seem fair. Do you have the ablility to think outside of yourself? People payed money to go to RuneFest, they deserve a nice little cosmetic item. There is no reason that this is "unfair"

I highly doubt that Jagex is going to give a real, beneficial item to people just because they went to RuneFest. Its going to be something cosmetic for sure. Even access to a beta test would be a bit much considering how uptight the RS community is when it comes to exclusive stuff. Really wrong use of the term RWT...

Then they will miss out on a purely cosmetic item...

Nice try at reading comprehension. ;) I was able to understand both his post and his point. I hate to disappoint Omali, but I have to point out that you're clearly a troll, and I've unfortunately fed you. Nice, resort to calling me a troll because you have no counter-argument. I was able to understand his post as well, and I explained his thesis. What's your point? You're one of the densest people i've ever had the misfortune of talking to. You never say anything of meaning, you just parse words and try to "one up" people. For example, your "point" in your latest post was that you were able to understand his post. How is this even a response to my criticism? Just a waste of server space. Honestly, if you are going to try to debate with someone over a forum, at least ensure that you are actually responding to the person and not making irrelevant comments.

indeed. For the surgical, efficient gamer, few things said hold true ( for example many dungeoneer although they do not enjoy it). But that can be said about any runescape activity: you can't choose what theiving to do because in reality one method is the fastest (that's the basic tennet many seem to be following). Then again, the avid, scientifically inclined gamers know relying on Jagex' public image for truth as being similar to trusting a fast food chain on healthy eating strategies. Forgetting the fun that's the main objective of any game, much of the rationale is indeed false or misleading to those already deeply immersed in runescape. However, I've dungeoneered with those of combat levels in the double digits. Much of the article is true to them (and true up until maybe level 45 dungeoneering thus far). Public companies and honesty: i certainly can't think of an example of a semi-large company who fit the bill. Lol. You literally didn't have a point in your entire post. Kids acting smart ftw. Companies try to promote their products, great discovery there buddy. I didn't know you had to be "scientifically inclined" to know that, haha How so? You can't just say that someone has no point and then not explain why. Kids acting smart ftw. Except I did explain it in my post. His use of seemingly big words didn't mask the fact that his message was simply "Companies promote their products" Nice try at an argument though ;)

Jagex fails! :rolleyes:

I suggest you read the Dungeoneering Q&A again, since you seem to lack reading comprehension.

Lol, do you have anything positive to say? If you are going to call an article false or misleading, at least quote certain sections. You aren't "cool" or "edgy" because you have your smarmy, unbacked opinions. Hopefully you grow out of your teenage angst phase soon. Damn that teenager known as Qeltar, one day he will grow up! Q is my favorite poster, he actually uses his brain when he posts and has tons of useful information and ideas Because being mad about everything is "using your brain". If he posts a lot of useful information, then why didn't he elaborate on his angsty post calling the article misleading and false?

Blame Jagex for being stupid enough to create high-level dungeons that aren't instanced. Any update can have an effect on other content in the game. If a piece of content (like GWD) can be broken by another piece of content (like a bonus xp weekend), then it seems like the original content should be changed.

It's not just about the hoarding. Bonus weekends are incredible opportunities to save tons of money and time (especially in regards to summoning; two posters said that the last bonus weekend saved them about 100 hours of charm collecting). It literally devalues skills, and not in the same way that new training methods do. Competition for GWD worlds skyrocketed after the last bonus weekend. You're deluded if you think that the majority of players will respond any differently to how I've said they would. You may be above taking advantage of these weekends, but most of us aren't as intelligent as you, apparently. :rolleyes: Again, you presume to be aware of how the majority of the Runescape population will react. Again, you don't have any response as to why this has anything to do with Jagex. Jagex should not and does not cater to immature 12 year olds who no-life just because of an up-coming bonus. A bonus is a reward, not a goal. The fact that you think you even have an argument is hilarious to me. "Some kids might no-life and it might affect the economy like every other major update, please don't do it Jagex" -------------------------- As for the devaluation of the skill, this has no real effect on players. It only has the mental effect of "oh, they got the exp faster than me". Which is no different than what RS veterans feel today. Do you think RS veterans enjoy seeing people getting 99 WC easily with ivy? No, but it's part of the game. And this is only temporary, unlike ivy.
