I noticed that the majority of my skills went up 10k+ ranks over night and the number of players online is ~63k half of the normal at this time. I think this points to some sort of mass banning and or bot nuke. Curious to see if jagex posts anything
I couldn't agree anymore, I'm not saying I want to go back to 2005 but I miss the company that actually gave a shit about their values and stuck to them. I can understand needing money and all but there are ways to do that and still stay true to what you've always said.
I wish they didn't pull the we'll tell you more next week bs. They should have known this would piss off a lot of people and holding out on it is only going to let the anger build.
I suppose reading it over again, that powerful item could mean anything, it may not be combat related. I still very much dislike the fact that there are items involved at all. But depending on what said items are it may not be that bad.
It absolutely annoys the bejesus out of me when people say save your xp boost for the highest thing. 250k is 250k no matter if you get it 1 xp chunks or 10k chunks. Now if it said doubles xp gains for 100 uses then it would be worth saving otherwise its not worth the effort. Edit: Ninja'd :D
At least you now know your character wears tiny underwear and isn't running around commando. No need to disinfect all the new pieces of armour you buy.
Assuming that its similar to wow in which you can either have a rotation or a priority system for abilities. general combat should end up with a set that most/all people use. There is more thinking when it comes to pvp but it seems like defensive abilities lose a distinctive offensive advantage. but that could be balanced out with a mix of defense/ offense depending on the value of a gcd (global cool down)
The problem with a change like this is that anyone with a reasonable amount of levels is going to have a huge learning cure and likely not like it. Its the same reason that when your trying to get someone to try out wow you don't let them play on your maxed character you get them a level one and get abilities as you go.
