99 Herb, AGS maybe, maybe 99 smithing too if I could fit that in. 500m used to be the point at which I could have everything I ever wanted, but now so many new items that cost in the hundreds of millions it just isn't that much anymore.

I was thinking about this the other day. What I thought of was a D&D of sorts, where traveling merchants or as I call them, "marauders", will randomly appear at places around RuneScape and sell items that have been lost by players in PvP at a certain percentage below minimum GE price to give players an opportunity to make a profit, but at the same time taking money out of the game. The items these marauders carry would be randomly selected from a database of lost items, with more expensive items being rarer. Also these shops would NOT be personalized, first player to find them and buy an item gets the item.

Depends on the monster. Some are appropriate for turmoil powerslaying, some are not. Blue dragons are not. My pack yak can only recover its special bar so fast, so if I turmoil through that task it will mean more banking, whereas just using bandos/firecape I get about 40 bones + hides per trip. Love those tasks, usually make 1.2m or so from them. :) Also anything I need to use protection prayers on I usually don't turmoil.

Yeah, I had a lucky streak with TDs. I got two claws in 50 kills when they first came out, few hundred later another one, and another while later 2 within 25 kills. But now I'm on a 1300+ dry streak if you don't count shard drops. I don't know, I don't really like luck based income. It's too bad RC isn't as good a moneymaker as back when I got 99 in it :mellow: ... it's not really fun anymore since abyss RCing had its soul removed with the removal of the wilderness.

To the vanity fair article, yeah I can see what you mean. I'd never own a party hat because it just seems useless to me. But I'm not entirely innocent of vanity. My arcane spirit shield is by and large because I like how it looks. Yes it is the best mage shield in the game by far and it does have limited usefulness to me, but I don't really mage THAT often and most of the time when I'm wearing the shield it's for an outfit. I guess you could say I didn't have anything else to do with my money (besides spending a fortune on herb which I'm not to keen on since extremes seem good enough for now).

Yeah, you know what, I am. It's quite possibly the worst RTS in the history of the genre. So dreadfully dull that anyone that claims to enjoy it is either lying, trolling, or insane (from the same ilk that claims to "enjoy" skilling :rolleyes: ). Yeah nothing I can really do about it, but that's why this is the rants forum and not general discussion.

Ugh, currently at MA and getting kind of pissed off with some of the players. First of all nobody follows the fast MA thing where blue always wins. Ok fine, be selfish bastards, I'm watching TV anyway. Or am I? No. Because about 40% of the time some [wagon] has to go trying to slaughter me before the clock hits 26. Always me. Of the dozens of times I've seen another player attack someone else, only 3-4 have not been me. They've never succeeded in killing me before 26, but if forces me to actually pay attention to the horrible excuse for an RTS that is MA. As if it weren't bad enough already. :wall: Good thing free chat isn't allowed there, or it'd probably be even more full of trolls.

MEH bone brooch is winning. How lame. <_< I wanted squeak the bat, but that's in last place.

It's for zmi, nub. I need a full bank. Why do you need a full bank? :mellow: Withdraw your supplies like pouches etc, have placeholders for all runes (except laws if you're using the lvl 70 tele) and other stuff you need to bank, fill bank, and tada, you can use the bank all button without it banking your pouches.

Meh, I had one of those razors from Verizon before I had my iPhone. Yeah it may not be as good as some of the newer ones but it dosen't fail. Especially if you jailbreak it like I did with mine. :thumbsup: Yeah I'd prefer not to have to BREAK INTO MY OWN PHONE, but it was nothing compared to figuring out how to get ringtones onto that damned Verizon. Anyway I don't think I'll be downloading this, not really that big a deal to check the RS main page with Safari.

Storywise, the Final Boss in RuneScape will likely be Lucien. All of the other bosses are more like Bonus Bosses. Nomad would be a Godamned Boss, and Jad That One Boss.

Ouch. Though he no doubt protected the divine, still sucks to loose an AGS... and all that other stuff.

Yeah, I loved using throw field on husks while playing on normal. But on Insane every bottom rung mook and his brother has either armor, biotic barrier, or shields. Including husks. If I'm lucky enough to get them in a group one incineration blast can get rid of their armor, but then again I'd rather have someone else with the same ability or drones for distraction.

I've sunk so many hours into ME2 lately. Beat it on normal first, then on veteran, and just today I finished my Insanity run. Nobody died :thumbup: It's not really that hard for the most part, but there are certain parts that are absolute HELL, from lack of cover, to enemies that like to charge/flank you, or both (godamn husks <_< ). Final boss was still easy though :rolleyes: Bit more interesting, but still easy.

Yeah it should be exactly like soul wars tbh. 3 for win, 1 for loss. It just pisses me off that when I loose I just wasted 20 minutes of my life. Though more often than not I don't even stick around for that long if I see we're loosing badly. Sometimes I actually manage to join the other team before the end. :thumbup: I do NOT think that's a good thing. You should get at least 1 ticket for a loose so less people do that.

I do, but most of the time the other team has like 5-6 or more mes. They must organize themselves somehow..,

I swear to you the last 15 games I have played have been losses. Which is 5 HOURS of my life wasted. Every one of them seemed utterly hopeless with guys who seemed to switch prayers and gear as soon as I switched styles myself, ie [bleep]ing pro pkers. So it seems less about what to do and more about what team to join. How the hell do I figure out what team to join so that I can actually get some damned tickets?

So that's where our familiars go when we get kidnapped by randoms. :lol:

Damn. That sounds awesome. I actually wouldn't mind a feeling like that. Just have to hold it off for long enough to actually go into a waking REM sleep, lol.

Well, we are discussing future dungeoneering changes. I think this line of discussion is relevant enough to be continued. Okay. Well, I explain my views and ideas further in an article on my blog. I didn't want to post that here for fear of people thinking I was trying to get blog readers, but it's really too long to cut-and-paste here without being disruptive. Alex, feel free to send me any suggestions/criticisms privately, though I don't think I can do anything about the complaint you already mentioned. :) I like everything about that idea except the xp penalty. Ok, maybe if it were really 1% penalty overall, but knowing Jagex it would work exactly like current penalties and apply itself several times until your xp is cut practically in half. Anyway I don't see the need to apply a penalty when the items are already temporary. Temporary binds defiantly make the experience more dynamic, and I don't think there should be a penalty for that.

Tried the WILD method, but once the heavy feeling came over me I got so scared lol. Kept telling myself I could handle all the night terror crap, but once I felt it working I just couldn't hold back the swarm of butterflies. I want to try it again, hopefully I'll get used to it enough where I don't freak out so much. I've also been doing the reality check thing and last night it actually paid off. I looked at my left hand and it had seven fingers on it. So I jump out the nearest window and start flying. Felt really real. Too bad I woke up soon after.

Just played a game to see if their improvements made the game more fun. They didn't. Teams are still ridiculously one sided, you still have flag holding [bleep]s, and ancienters still completely dominate everything. You'd think that it would be in the power of the gods to forbid such magic for its ties to zaros. That would make the game a hell of a lot more interesting rather than simply "whoever has the most barragers wins".

Anyone else find is strange that someone went to the trouble of building all of this massive machinery to produce what is the most fail gear ever? Body body is 17 mage defense. Even green dragonhide body has more. And this wouldn't even be useful to noobs because what noob has the attention span to solve such a godamned tedious puzzle? Oh well at least it looks nice I guess. :unsure: Hope the unimaginable feats of engineering were worth it.

Meh. Kind of a [bleep] move making it a limited number of moves. I guess I'll just wait for a guide like I did with MEPII. I already hate slider puzzles, but when you combine that with having to run to a bunch of levers and limited number of moves... yeah. Hoping it's the same layout for all players. Looking at the pics it appears that way. To the reward: LOL. 17 mage defense, nice. Green dhide body has 20 mage defense. Armadyl top has like 70. Seems like these people who built all this machinery went to a LOT of trouble to make some pretty fail gear. I can see it now: on like EWVII we'll get a soul body with like 30 mage def or something :thumbup:

Yeah the whole tooth thing was a little odd, but I can accept it given the whole fairy context. What I couldn't stand was all the secret agent crap with all of the "briefings" and pointless acronyms. Seriously, stop making factions in RuneScape like some hollywood, "Spy Kids" super secret government agency. It's really annoying.
