What's gotten into Jagex recently? The Fishing and Mining updates last month and the woodcutting update to a lesser extent. While neither are as good as this they are still very good updates and the sort a lot of players have been wanting for a very long time. Previously there was no point training non-combat skills unless they were needed for quests with decent rewards, now updates like this make me want to play again despite not having the level to do any of them. If the rest of the year is as good as the last few weeks then this will be one of the best years in a long time :thumbup:

Thank you Jagex! I was requesting an update EXACTLY like this recently and here it is <3: Updates like this give people a reason to train skills and this was really the exact thing I was looking for. More updates like this please Jagex :)

There is a show all your posts button. Goto your profile then on the left under your picture there'll be Find Topics and find Posts. Click Find posts and there you go. http://forum.tip.it/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=user_posts&mid=486 Is a link to all my posts.

That's just not right... You'll need more than just luck Congrats :thumbup:

Ctrl + F 'Discussion Value' - Not Found. Perhaps if you gave some sort of context to your topics instead of just posting random pictures without explaining where they came from or what they are about. Perhaps then this topic would be used to actually discuss something. Locked.

The real question is, can they can one unsoloable without "brute force"? They can easily make one that can do a lot of damage/have a lot of health etc. but will they ever be able to make one that can "outsmart" players? Tormented Demons did a fairly good job at that and with further tactics like that then it's possible.

If your highest dps is 4.5k its really a problem. You need to do abub in one chase phase, we had problems with this at the start but once we went with 2 healers and dps knew when to switch to the adds we got close to a kill. You should also remmeber that rogues, mages and paladins can kite anub arak without breaking any ice if you are having problems with using up too many of the frozen orbs. Oh, we're not even on Anub, still on Northrend beasts :-# Did EoE10 yesterday and had 6k dps without using any sparks which was fun =P

Tried ToC10 HC again last night, more failure. think we must have wiped about 12 times or so which is slightly annoying to say the least. We can get through Phase 1 pretty much 100% of the time now which is good, we just seem to be failing on acid maw and dreadscale. I had the highest DPS in pretty much all the tries, I averaged 4.5k dps with the next highest at about 4k dps. Which I assume is why we're failing. Although it's nice being top of DPS thanks to a slight rotation change (which seems to have improved my DPS over long periods by around 300-500dps) at one point I even ended one of the tries on over 6k DPS before we died on the acidmaw pull >_<

Wow, well done there. Have 2 pieces of Tier 9 25 now which is good (legs + shoulder). I had most DPS and Damage done for the first 3 bosses of ToC25 yesterday which is good (1.9k dps higher than anyone else for the 2nd boss :shock:) We then wiped on Anub a few times before calling it. Trying to run that half pug is impossible when we can't seem to split our DPS right.

My thoughts on this. It will be a flurry of topics/posts at the start but it would most likely quickly slow down. The boards would not be popular enough for topics on individual games/teams etc. What will most likely happen is that there'd be a thread for each sport/competition etc. which would get all the traffic, which is what I believe to be the case in the majority of cases already in off-topic. Having a sub-forum just for those topics in my opinion isn't needed. On top of that, due to most sports having seasons and thus there'd be a period where there's going to be next to no posts for weeks at a time due to sports being out of season.

This is a very promising Q&A and one that might get me back into the game if some of the things they said there come true.

ToC10 Hc is bloody hard. We had three half tries at the first boss tonight and just about made it halfway through Phase 1 :ohnoes: Was meant to be doing ToC25 with another guild but they were pissed off that we had more members than them (it was would have been at 15/10 split in our favour, which seems fair when we had more people sign up and when they only had 1 ranged DPS which we needed more so they rage quit) Was hoping to get my Tier 9 Shoulders tonight for the 2 piece bonus, but I guess that will have to wait until tomorrow :(

Smelly I see you had your questions answered :P I didn't get to ask a question but I really want to know if there will ever be skill specific content (such as Potions which you need 80 herblore or whatever to use, arrows which you need high fletching to use etc.) that are non-tradable to actually give people a reason to train there skills. Hopefully someone asked a question similar to that anyway. It's been a very interesting Q&A so far.

It's better to have "too many" moderators than not enough. I don't even think we have too many at the moment, we have enough so that the board is a "safe" place for users to browse and also while not leaving too much stress on some moderators. It's much better to spread the work load out over more moderators than have only a few moderators doing everything (as has pretty much been the case in the past).

Ugh wth. I only got the first boss down so far. Need the twins to drop that gun ToC10 is a walk in the park, seriously. The guild I'm in is not fantastic, we've not even cleared Ulduar yet (although we most likely are able to) and we can probably down ToC10 without any wipes at all if we all focused and didn't make any stupid mistakes. None of the bosses are really hard, Twin Val'kyr we struggled a bit with first time round but we two shot it yesterday (first try yesterday was only a test to try something which failed). Faction Champions is easy, just have to nuke one of the healers at the start and the fight is easy from then. With Anub you need to try saving one of the adds that spawns until Phase 2 to give you more time to DPS down the boss then in phase 3 just have to leave the DPS at roughly 50% hp and he'll go down fast.

1) It's best to have a lot of moderators so more likely than not the boards are covered pretty much 24/7. More coverage of the board should make it a better place for our users. 2) Global Moderators can moderate on all boards so in emergencies they can remove spam bot/spammer posts. etc if there are no local moderators on at the time. Super Moderators can also handle some bans and signature/avatar reports. 3) Moderators leave for various reasons from personal reasons to just not having enough free time any more. 4) See 3 5) It had been a while since we had any new moderators and we felt like there were certain times when there was a lack of moderators online. 6) This happened and still does happen, however we needed more than just a couple more people. On top of that Applications lets us see who is interested in the role and gives us a clearer picture of the user in question.

Persona 4 :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Chie :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: (I only know this because I watch the Giant Bomb endurance run of it) Same, that's the only reason I have the game :P

I'm loving being in a raiding guild. Cleared ToC10 normal today, got a new ring :D Got a 232 chest as well but it's probably not worth having. (no one else needed it so I got it incase I ever need hit) Did VoA25 and got Tier 9 legs :D Tomorrow after the Faction Champions in ToC25 I'll have enough for Tier 9 shoulders giving me the 2 tier bonus :)

Ignore the mess and crappy lighting :P [hide=Setup][/hide] 360 on the left at the top (with Gears of War 2 Faceplate + stckers), PS2 in Bottom left. 37" 1080p TV which I also use as a secondary monitor (Bonus points for guessing the game :P). 19" Monitor. Have two sets of speaks setup, 5.1 setup for my TV and standard 2.1 for my PC :P Got my PC hiding behind my TV (You can see the ethernet hub and speaker on top of it). PC Specs: Intel Dual Core E8400 3.0GHz ATI HD 4850 (512MB) graphics card 4GB DDR2 RAM And yes that is my bedroom :P

The Reputation system will not be used.

It also gives a lot more user options. Such as number of topics per page etc. Although I'm not 100% sure what we're going to allow users to change, there is a lot more potential for you to customise the boards then on the current forum. It also has a lot of features that users have been requesting for a long time that were not possible on these boards. That's not going to mean we will use them but if we ever need to we have a lot more control over the board itself which should make it a better place for all people.

Yeah, more often then not in General Discussion it's probably better to make a new topic rather than bumping an old one simply because there's a "high" chance that a lot of posts in the old topic are now out dated and are pretty much of no use. For example it would be pointless bumping a topic such as "Why is Fletching so hard" (A made up topic :P) after there's been a huge fletching update that makes it easier for example. Just use your common sense and you should be fine.

I have to disagree there. I personally am really good at GH so the achieves come easy for me. Yeah, none of them are that hard. Just a bit annoying that some of them require you to be good on all 4 instruments :P
