27k off dinging 80... Then the EU servers go down :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

No update today. Quick find code: 15-16-182-59117579

Some people figure that if you're playing on a PvP server that you'd want to PvP. I know, I know, it's a crazy ideal. It's not PvP when there's about 5 level 80s camping you so when you spawn you die instantly. It was in the quest area where I needed to hand in quests, what the hell am I meant to do?

WEnt from 75-78 yesterday, hoping to ding 80 today. Is it me or do people seem to gank more at these higher levels? Had some alliance camping me at one of the quest points in Zul Drak, seriously, what's the point? :roll:

Levelling got boring so decided to start playing battlegrounds. My first ever BG I had the most Killing Blows (Warsong Gulch). Just had this in Alterac Valley o_O [hide=Picture of win][/hide] I love battle grounds :D

Yes, as Super Range potions and super magic potions are super imaginative? That's two potions that could potentially be added, however I see no need for either of them, especially a better magic potion. Smithing hasn't had any major updates in ages because it's already got something pretty much every level and it's had some high level updates (Dragon Plate and Dragonfire Shield) in recent times. I didn't say there SHOULD be a slayer update every 3 levels, I said based on the previous levels for slayer those are the ones where Jagex are likely to put it based on previous patterns. Out of those 88 in my opinion is the one Jagex are most likely to add, which is not going to add anything between the 90-99 gap which you mentioned. As for range - I think it's fine as it is at the moment, it's used more commonly then melee is for a lot of bosses and any major update would make PvM tipped even more in favour of Range. Although PvP is tipped in the balance of melee which makes updating either skill very difficult.

XXXVII is XXVIII too much.

Bump

I never get why people make that comment, the whole point to magic, and the reason there are 7 spells dedicated to it, it because you are supposed to farcast. The whole point of a mage in combat is to stop the enemy being able to hit them, which is why rangers are supposed to overpower mage in the triangle. Now it all gets complicated when you bring hybriding into the equation, but the main combat triangle isn't broken. Meleers able to wear Dragonhide without any negative bonuses completely breaks the triangle, the act that melee is the only class that does not rely on armour for it's accuracy is what makes it broken, mages can't cast while wearing armour for example and to a lesser extent rangers can't range while wearing melee armour. It's too late to change it now however as it would break far too many PvM things, but Jagex should really have put negative melee bonuses on ranged armour.

Thunderbluff confuses the hell out of me, too many different layers. I like Undercity, the bank is right in the middle and it's a quick 10 second walk/run to the auction house with the Mail box/flight path another 10 seconds or so from the bank. It is confusing as to where the skill trainers etc. are but as a mage I don't have that problem, just teleport right there =P

Undercity is so cluttered it reminds me of the Exodar. And Ogrimmar is just... so undeveloped. Ironforge and Stormwind has a grand feeling while Darnassus is just so serene. And the transport is so annoying. When I was leveling my belf I get so annoyed by the fact that I have to go out of the city to ride the blimp for UC/Ogrimmar. SW has a train and a port right inside! I've never had a problem with transport, but that's because I'm a mage :P Being able to Teleport between the cities is really good.

Finally got the Classic Dungeonmaster Achievement earlier today :D Had Stockades and Dire Maul to do, surprised I could solo Dire Maul tbh, I'm only 75 frost mage so have no tanking ability or healing ability at all which was quite hard. Although I used my WE as an off-tank for some bosses that required it which certainly helped. Also started Dual-Boxing earlier today, have a Warrior and a Priest. The Warrior is called HealBetter and the Priest is called TankBetter :lol:, fairly easy so far, first time levelling either character and they seem to complement each other well. Both are level 9 atm and closing in on 10.

:lol: Congrats on the level, uber congrats for not killing some poor innocent exploding creatures

And for those doubting Jagex will ever release a better crossbow (Don't think Dragon is mentioned however) I believe one of the Dwarves in the underground passage beneath White Wolf Mountain mentions something about a new crossbow type made with a magic log stock. This was when crossbows came out so it's not something new, but I'd imagine a new crossbow would be Dragon.

[bLEEP] YOU! Haven't got any whip sience i got 85 slayer and no im not camping. [/hide]1 whip 85-92. :-# 3 and i'm 84 slayer :lol: I had 23 at 84 slayer :P

piety/chivalry for Mage/Range aren't needed as there's only one stat to boost (range/mage) which effects accuracy AND damage already. If you then release a single 20% boost for Range/Mage instead of 15% Eagle Eye (I think it's 15%) gives, then melee will demand single boosting prayers that use less prayer individually then piety does so they can better select what they want to boost. I don't really see a super ranged potion as needed but could be added, although the normal ranged potion is already higher than the melee super potions are and it would seem out of place to have a super ranged potion which would have to be quite a high level for something that to be fair would only add another 6 levels of range than the normal range potion.

I've amended the thread title :lol: How have you had so many drops? :o

Text size doesn't matter, we'd be here all day adding up individual pixels otherwise. Although if you do use big text then yes that would be taken into account. As for the other half, if you have more than 4 lines of text ALL of it has to be inside of one set of hide tags.

Because some people's signatures were getting too big. There was no rule on what was "too big" previously and there were some signatures that were removed while some others weren't and users were complaining about this.

No, you can have either 10 lines of text inside hide tags or 4 outside of hide tags if you have images. There are no written rules on numbers of lines with no images however using your common sense to decide if it's too big or not. Although you'd purposely have to go out of your way to make your signature too big with text due to the character limit. And you can use the preview signature button when editing it to see how many lines it will take up.

As long as there's no more than 4 lines of text then the signature is fine. Even if you have for example an image that is only 100x100 pixels you'd still only be allowed 4 lines of text as well.

Discuss the new change here.

Wait, how have I let you get above 30. That's not fair.

It's hard to describe exactly what Admins do. As I've come up through the moderators I still do a lot of moderating things I did as a Super Moderator but on top of that have to make sure the forum is working correctly, any problems etc. get sorted. I assume as N_Odie came up through the Crew he'll still be doing a lot of crew related things but will be able to help out with moderator things if he's needed, as I will help out with Crew/Website things if I'm needed to. Basically we just make sure the site and forum are functioning on top of whatever responsibilities we had previously.

Why is it that we can't make a joke about MJ but we can make jokes on any of the other obituary threads in the past? One or the other man. Because he's just died? I don't know what other threads you're talking about but making jokes about MJ's allegations from a few years ago in the first place is not something that should be taken lightly, even more so that he's just died... If you think it's right to make jokes about people who have passed away then I have words to describe you as a person. Read my last post. I understand where you're coming from here, but why was it so fine when people joked about Heath Ledger and the two members of the Soul Men Group? I think that they should all be held in the same way. I'll respect your wish not to make a joke, I'm just saying I don't think it's any different than any other celebrity dying. I don't know about any of the other threads but I'd expect no jokes to be made about any one's death. If you wish to discuss this more please take it to PM with me. Thanks.
