Just got back from Iron Man 2. Was expecting it to be a typical sequel due to some pretty negative critic reviews. Lesson learned: never trust the damned critics. I thought it was at LEAST as good as the first one, if not better. So yeah. :thumbup:

I hope you mean PvP combat... otherwise, my steel titan would like to have a word with you. (:

Right - well as far as I know not even WoW has equipment switching using hotkeys. Though that game runs on a framework that might make it possible with addons. That's not exactly what I'm talking about - more along the lines of binding keys to certain spells, prayers, quick prayers, and yes even special attack.

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. [/hide] How is it OP when everyone has the same opportunity? because it removes all skill from hybriding/pking. If all the skill in hybriding and pking is from being able to fiddle with the tedious menus quick enough, then something is seriously wrong. Maybe that needs to be addressed, rather than simply denying us a user friendly UI.

Seriously, you're saying the game would be too easy if they improved the UI?! Are you KIDDING ME?!?! How about some REAL difficulty instead of this tedious crap. You guys seem downright masochistic.

Yeah I wonder why they haven't done this already. They've already demonstrated with the orb of oculus that they are capable of showing and hiding the chat window using a hotkey, so why haven't they done this outside the orb and allow our keyboard keys to be used as hotkeys in non-chat context? As for ranters, frankly, who gives a crap. Something like this is long overdue.

The only two that drop them would have to be the occasional level 97ish warrior seen wielding one, and also hobgoblins.

Yeah, kiting enemies can be quite fun. But anyway I solo, so spear is better for me. Monsters I used to kite like level 100+ warriors I eventually ended up just maging, because even vs warriors with platebodies, maul would take so long to kill them that I might as well just make an air staff and some death + blood runes and blast them. Even wearing melee armor I hit them just about every time with mage.

Ok, as someone who has been using the primal maul for quite a while now: I just remade my promethium spear, and my god... it's so much better it's unreal. The maul absolutely dominated monsters like skeletons, shades, ghosts, and certain bosses, but on others it would hit so infrequently it was quite infuriating. But the thing is, even though the maul has 80 more crush attack, it really isn't THAT much better than the spear on those monsters weak to crush. In dungoneering it seems each monster has a weakness that is so profound that it dosen't matter quite that much how much accuracy you have. And on the styles they are not weak to... they're like a freaking brick wall. Maul is horrible against those monsters. The best example of this is mages. They are weak to slash. Maul hit so many zeroes on them it's pathetic. But once I switched back to spear and used the slash attack, even though it's less than half the maul's crush accuracy, it hits so much better... Basically I have underestimated the value of versatility in the dungeons. Maul, while it is indisputably best for monsters weak to crush, it is pretty horrible on anything else. Besides, it's slower, and cannot be poisoned.

Yeah, it was Rammernaut. The annoyance being that after he uses his charge he apparently counts as a player, making him immune to vengeance, hence the messages.

Hey everyone, guess which boss I was just fighting... <_< Nice fail Jagex.

+10 more range accuracy than rune cbow, + no spec, = about what I expected. If I were to get all chaotic weapons, this would have to be second to last. Last of course being the staff because it's basically a degradable version of the SoL with but one more mage accuracy but no spec or rune savings.

Quote from a Jmod or it's speculation. :rolleyes: They confirmed only bosses drop tier 11 And since you asked for proof, go read this Ah, well that dashed my dreams of ever getting a primal spear / platebody anytime soon... <_< Hope to hell the boss that drops spear isn't like level 90+ or something crazy like that. Wonder why KB says can only be gained by monster drops... guess that's just the KB for ya'. Also have to wonder why they have primal plate and 2h listed in KB when as far as I know no bosses drop platebodies or 2hs.

Quote from a Jmod or it's speculation. :rolleyes:

Well, thanks a lot for the tip, any idea which bosses drop spears? Or shall I just have to wait for a Forgotten Warrior to come along with one in hand? There isn't a boss that drops spears yet. High level hobgoblins and primal/prome warriors with spears can drop prome spears though. Also at least possible that primal warriors drop primal... though I haven't seen it yet. Seems a little odd that Jagex would call primal "Monster drop only" and not "Boss drop only", dosen't it?

"Secret London Venue". My god. Does everything have to be a godamned secret with Jagex? Bad enough that they stopped the BTS and have been feeding us stupid cryptic hints since then, but now they're even making the location of their con a secret. Yeah that's really useful for people who want to, I don't know, plan their trip. :rolleyes:

We don't care about you. Mean spirited comments like that are like gourmet food to trolls like him. Gg :thumbup: 7/10 btw. Get that dung level up!

Yeah, I just went back there and there appears to be a delay now... <_< I can still loot like three times, but why bother when I can just repeatedly knock out Menaphite thugs and loot them twice without having to lure them every time? Officially no reason to go back to that place now. Gg Jagex :thumbup: Honestly when I saw theives guild, I was really hoping there would be some kind of randomized capers you could pull for money and rewards, sort of like a minigame / activity of sorts, instead we get a few one off capers that give mediocre rewards and only serve to upgrade the guild, which now that they've nerfed blackjacking, is worthless.

Ah, so true. This right here is one of the biggest annoyances I had with city of heroes. In your average PuG you were pretty much guaranteed to have half the team quit in the first half hour unless you are really lucky, or doing something like farming (which is pretty much all they ever do in that game now...) I don't get it, really. Maybe it just goes along with general stupidity / lack of common sense, which is apparently extremely prevalent in mainstream MMOs these days. :rolleyes: Probably why I play RS. Very solo friendly. Class based games that require constant player interaction can get really annoying for the reasons you mentioned.

Voice overs would be a wonderful addition to the game, as long as they add a new volume option in addition to music / sfx / ambient so people can turn them off. Though before they even think about doing voice overs, they really need to start on improving the sfx in the game. The dropped item sfx are a start, but there are still so many effects that just sound so outdated when you compare them to the improvement in graphics. The foremost example, IMO, being the sound your character makes when you get hit. Sounds a bit like a bird; not really humanlike at all.

When did they let you buy seeds at the smuggler? Thought you could only buy shrooms + poatoes from him? As of today's update. Also summoning no longer requires pouches and shards, so you can make familiars with only the charms monsters drop and the resources, so no more running back to smuggler EVERY time you want to summon something. So the other obelisks actually have some use now. I really like the seed update. Before if a door required a higher level than you had, and no monster dropped seed or herb, you were SOL. Now it's at least possible as long as you have the farming level to farm the herbs and the herblore level to make the potions. Yes seed drops are pretty pointless now because seeds are pretty cheap, but honestly before this update 90% of the herbs I actually used were just straight herb drops since seeds seemed way too rare. This will increase the amount of farming and herbing I do down there significantly. Edit: Just went to ToG. The message is "You feel the mysteries of Daemonheim unravel" when you get the exp. So um... this is seriously the only dungeon intended to ever be tied to dungoneering? A little stupid. Might as well call it daemonheiming.

Is it possible to boost your herblore to make better potions? You could make a naturalist pot -> strong artisan pot -> 100ish smithing if it is. I know it wasn't possible when the skill was released though. Gorgonite spear and blood runes Yes. After reading your post I decided to try and make a promethium plate for myself. Took me a damn hour, but I did it. Used one naturalist potion to allow me to farm lycopus, and another to boost my level up to make the strong artisan potion. Air runes are 12 gp ea and I'm 99 rc so I made air runes for money until I had 510k. Protip: use mousekeys, settings turned to one button mouse, and position your air runes at the bottom while selling to smuggler. Just spam the 5 key.

Tested blackjacking in the guild, got about 150k exp in 30 mins. So yeah its good exp, but be prepared to hurt your wrists something fierce :thumbup:

Primal maul, gorgonite plate, and 125 promethium arrows p++ Need someone with 99 smith for a promethium plate. Haven't had a single plate of any kind drop, not sure if its even possible. Also wondering if I should ditch the maul once riftsplitter drops a primal rapier. Much less att and str, but it's much faster.

Muwahaha, Sagitarre just dropped 125 promethium arrows. Bought some winters grip seeds and now I have 125 p++ arrows. Making those pots got me like 2k herb exp too. Hope Jagex dosen't nerf the herb/farm exp now that smuggler sells seeds... I mean even with him selling them its still really slow exp in both skills...
