    07-Sept-2015: Patch Week

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Patch Week | Limited Time Merch Store Offer

     

     

    The ninjas have been busy this week adding a ton of patches and tweaks to the game, including improvements to Warbands and the Crystal shapeshifters!

     

     

    Warbands

     

    Warbands have been updated to re-invigorate the high-risk, high-reward aspect of the D&D. The new patches will mean that:

    • Supplies will now be converted into non-tradeable versions when exiting the wilderness.
    • Players may attack others outside of the normal wilderness level restrictions when carrying supplies. Carriers may still counter-attack.
    • Chat options on Quercus now allow players to toggle whether they receive coins or supplies when killing a victim holding Warband supplies.
    • Players can now be attacked while looting a Warbands tent.

     

    Crystal Shapeshifters

     

    Shapeshifters have been also had a few tweaks and fixes. Here are some of the changes to crystal shapeshifters:

    • Players will no longer lose focus in combat when a Crystal Shapeshifter switches combat style.
    • Crystal Shapeshifters will now retaliate correctly after charging towards a player.
    • Crystal Shapeshifters have been added to the Slayer Creature kills list in the Beasts tab of the Adventures interface.

    There have also been a few other notable changes for players to enjoy:

    • Players can now consistently use the Quick-travel option on goebies to travel around Mazcab if they have the required reputation.
    • The Ninjas have updated the Demonic skull so re-entering a runecrafting altar via the abyss will now guarantee the XP bonus, regardless of how quickly the player returned.
    • Max has been given a makeover care of the Ninjas, spot him running his skilling circuit around Varrock with his new gear.

    Read the rest of today's patch notes.

    24th August - The Light Within

    [hide]So how did you guys rebuild your Seren and what does she look like?

     

    I added Haluned's crystal, but I couldn't bring myself to sacrifice Eluned. Resulting Seren has no halo, and has a purple scarf over her mouth. She also has good words for Saradomin - any idea if her dialogue changes subtly based on what you add to her?[/hide]

    [hide] I added Haluned and Eluned's crystals resulting in both the scarf and halo and a rather cutting comment from Seren when you ask her what Eluned was "She was your friend. At least she believed herself to be ;_;[/hide]

    First quest I have done since I died of boredom trying to do Dimension of Disaster and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought the story was really good, Tarddiad was nicely designed and I really liked the new design of Seren. Some interesting things to take away from the quest though:

     

    [hide]1. Zaros and Seren have a messed up relationship thanks to their creation and conflicting ideals (I know we saw some of this in FotG).

    2. Both Guthix and Seren advise us not to trust Zaros. Guthix because he is a being that returned from the dead and Seren because she believes he craves power and will stop at nothing to get it however he's much less obvious about it than say Zamorak.

    3. Seren seems mostly indifferent towards us and did not seem to appreciate us sacrificing Eluned to bring her back.

    4. She believes that Saradomin has lost his way due to his blind belief that he is doing what is best for Gielinor and not listening to others. Apparently it falls to us to put him back on the right path if we so wish.

    5. She doesn't hold very high opinions of any of the Gods except sort of Saradomin. She doesn't have fond memories of Armadyl but accepts he has likely changed.

    6. She is full of regret and remorse for her actions.

    7. There is a 9th elven clan who stayed behind on Tarddiad.

     

    Overall she is a really interesting addition to the game and hopefully her story goes somewhere interesting rather than just having he stand in the Tower of Voices for all eternity. I am assuming that there may be event where Seren and Zaros clash over the Elder Gods since we know Seren isn't going to let him just waltz in there and claim their power. I do like that she doesn't seem overly bothered about us either.[/hide]

    RuneFest 2015 is coming on 3rd October. Jot it down and clear your calendars – you won't want to miss the year's biggest and best RuneScape event!

     

    We'll be returning to the Tobacco Dock venue in London, UK for an Invention-themed steampunk spectacular.

     

    Join us and the whole RuneScape community for a day packed with content reveals, activities, events, competition, and a truly epic after-party.

     

    Tickets will be available early July - £99* for an all-day, all-access pass. We'll let you know as soon as you can buy them. Like last year, you'll also be able to buy tickets - as well as flights, hotel rooms and spending money - with your RuneScape Bonds.

     

    More details will be coming very soon, so keep an eye on the news. Look out for blog posts on how the event's shaping up, too, and be sure to follow RuneFest on Twitter and Facebook. Any questions? Check out the FAQ.

     

    Save the date – we can't wait to meet you all!

     

    The RuneScape Team

     

    * Plus booking fee.

     

    Since nobody has posted this yet, thought I'd get the ball rolling. Are many people from TIF planning on going this year?

    [1-6-15] Tuska World Event

    in General Discussion

    I don't think anyone here is "whining" about the Godless thing, I'm not too bothered if they win I just don't think the way they're being used as a catch-all by the majority of players who don't follow Zamorak, Armadyl or Saradomin is balanced. We should have had an option to join no faction and fight for ourselves or fight on behalf of your chosen good without them being specifically represented.

     

    That being said, Tuska is seemingly going to win every day unless Jagex interfere so it might be all irrelevant anyway.

    It's great how the godless have already won because if you don't pick a side your contribution goes towards godless?

    You shouldn't be able to participate without joining a faction. Are the people that haven't joined a faction but are contributing/capping that absent-minded, or that complacent? :|

    Everyone who doesn't follow Zamorak, Saradomin or Armadyl will pick the Godless faction to stop either of those three from gaining power so the Godless will win every time. Pretty disappointing really.

    I was talking about this with a clan mate last night as I'd not really been following it at all since I have done all quests but I was rather disappointed with their plans for it. In my opinion they should have had two colours of the title, one for those who had or gained their QPC during the Questival and the other for whatever the competition is they're doing.

     

    However changing the title also works.

     

    Don't understand why people are getting so worked up about it though, it's only a title. Most "competitive" titles aren't on a level playing field because they rule out anyone with a full time job or in full time education.

    Kal'demons?

    I tend to find I get better kph with Drygores than I do Chaotic Staff, usually an extra 2 per overload dose so it's only minor but I guess it adds up.

     

    If you have spare loyalty points lying around you could consider getting the Master knock-out aura, it increases your accuracy by 30% on opponents with less than 15% LP.
