Blofeld

Have finally had a proper play with the alpha today, its deffinitely going to take a lot of getting used to but it really is a step up. I love how dynamic it is, especially the way you can drag and drop sub bars into other sections so easily. I still cant work out how to turn on auto retaliate is though or where the coin pouch is though if anyone can help? I went to GWD to have a go with combat and the ability bar is very glitchy at the moment and for me abilities didn't work a lot of the time, or once they were used they aren't blacked out out while they cool down. Hopefully things like that will be fixed soon though.

Yup, and I just REALLY don't haha.

Does anyone else have a glitched charm sprites daily challenge by the way?-I've had one sitting in my list for several months now. As soon as the timer gets to 1 day it goes back to 5 again. And I still get 7 challenges a week like normal.

Weird , its decided Im on a new device when i try to log on, so im having to go through Jag

So are the servers up now then? I dont see any news post, how do we get onto them? Sorry if this is a silly quesiton

The way I see it when RS3 comes around, surely theyre going to be doing to do some pretty serious marketing, getting interviews and features in game websites/magazines etc to try and bring a new generation into the game, or to tempt back people that maft many years ago. This to me is one of the key points about having a new version, to try and stop the drop in players the game has had over the years. Therefore with new people having a look at the game things really do need to be in good form and the really horrific places graphically need to be replaced ASAP to not put people off and run a mile as soon as they see the graphics in some places. I agree generally the F2P map isn't too bad because it has been gradualy updated continually over the years, that said places like Falador are no where near the standard of the recent graphical updates. Personally its the horrific places that need to be done first very soon; if they don't do Port Phasmatys soon I'm going to scream because it looks so terrible , likewise with Yanille and southwards. The current trend seems to be they are spending much more time reworking each place each time because most coincide with a quest remake;part of me wishes theyd do the graphical reworks first, then sort the quests later to get more done. One thing I wish theyd do is update all of the ships in the game, like those in Port Sarim etc look attrocious and as they already have the graphics ready to go from POP I dont understand why they havent been changed yet.

Does port score affect anything?

Im trying to get from 96-99 slayer, am 97 currently and I must admit getting a free 25k slayer xp every few days is very useful. Especially each day ive gotten that particular voyage, i've also rolled the other adventurer with a scroll voyage. XP voyages in any of the other skills , other than perhaps fishing seem pointless though. Is it me or should the xp be a bit more scaled based on the xp rates of each skill, like the daily challenges are. I.e 25k in slayer is far more significant than for 25k in thieving for example.

Are you more likely to get 10k captains as you progress to the higher regions? Up until the bowl I had only seen one 10k captain, in my first week of the bowl Ive gotten and bought three!

My best captain just died on a 70% voyage and I havent seen a hook region captain yet. Ohhhh boy, the rest of todays going to be interesting

Can't decide whether it's scaledor not. To me it deffinitely seems like it has been; my first day the missions didnt go much above 3000 and were very similar to the skull region ones.Now that I have 5/8 of the ship upgrades I've had rediculous requirements yesterday and today. It's not the single trait ones that seem to be getting higher, its the combined ones which have been creeping up each day. It could be random but currently for me it doesn't seem that way.

Hmmm, its just Im not experience minute or two drops in it. its been 1-2 hours disappearing from voyage time. Happened again for the 4th time today with my chimera mission a few hours ago. Im not complaining as it meant I finished way early today , but somethings deffinitely up with it.

There seems to be a bug with the timer; all 3 of my last voyages have finished at least an hour and a half early after I logged out and in again during them. Anyone else experiencing this?

I've spent quite a bit of time in the LRC the past few weeks and the stampede is rediculous to see-especially when they all head to a rock thats empty at exactly the same time, and are forced to charge around as a unit until new one is found

Whilst I am able to send ships out during work, and comfortably sent out all voyages with plenty of time to spare in the hook so far. I've done the complete opposite with my upgrades this time: my first purchase (after buying new crew each day) has been the new rudder. Whilst it only reduces the time minimally, by around 10-20mins for the hook voyages personally I think for me it could make a difference in sending out some extra voyages in the next few days as I get busier for christmas. I can deffinitely see how speed is going to become far more critical as we progress.
