For RS you seem to base whether or not someone has "completed" the game on if they have maxed out their levels, what would it take to "complete" WoW? im guessing....get every achievement(spread over several characters probably), get a level 80 of every class/race combination, beat every boss, etc etc No. Completing Wow Would probably entail downing top raid at that point and all achievements. Not every 80 combination. Although I find it hard to believe someone has completed WoW up to wotlk, having said that I haven't played for a half a year.... but still, has someone really completed all the achivements and killed current end game? --- On topic, RS won't end for a while yet. Being a browser game it's always readily avaliable and should stand the test of time. I can't think of a good enough reason as to what would bring the end of RS, and the end of WoW for that matter. Both games are amazing and have only grown. Other MMO's died due to a horrible change ( star wars ) or no longer an interest to update content / restricted by the way the game is played ( Diablo 1, single dungeon gets old ). Another important fact is the anti cheat systems in both RS and WoW. I think a legit playing style keeps people entertained as they have an equal chance to compete with everyone. ( I'm aware there were hacks / exploits / blah blah in RS, but they have been fixed - duping etc ).

You can just sell your rare on the grand exchange then. No one is forcing you to accumulate junk. Mis-Reply? Lol confused.

Oh ... My ... God. Take the blue, and hold it. Wear it with pride, it's the ultimate status symbol. Unless you have a lot of junk to trade you will never sell it for its true price. Plz don't sell for divine :ohnoes: :ohnoes:

It's pretty good but feels like it got cut short at the end. You're right, it doesn't fit with the momentum. It coulda been a winner.

^ Lol Nuke. You didn't even have to accept junk :thumbsup: ------- Woot, did next grand master :thumbsup: I have to admit, fun fight. Took me 4 tries, i found the final phase to be the easiest with protect from melee. I used restores and brews, tortoise, and range with diamond (e) bolts. Also refused to die, I used the hide behind the pole - logout technique. Mainly to save my tortoise scrolls :mrgreen:

You could probably sell 3 for a mid party hat. Wouldn't need junk either.

Thanks sweedish ^_^ I've been a way for a bit, as it's summer here. But now that it's nearly over I found some time to get back into it. Today I successfully leveled 3 melee stats via controlled. Now all that remains is doing it again for 98 - 99 :oops: 14 / 2 / 10 14 / 2 / 10 14 / 2 / 10 I think this will take the majority of my time, and I most likely won't be skilling till this is done.

[hide] [/hide] So good :thumbsup: Nice epic story with the pics. Now I know you are a merchant, so you would have no troubles in selling the staff with your obtained junk. However, for someone such as myself, if I were to get the staff, how would I be able to sell it for it's street price without using junk? ( as I have none ). I thought of trying to sell for an egg with cash, but that wont leave me with enough junk to move the egg on. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Sigh, pure ownage. You always inspire me to keep at my 80 + all stats goal, but this slayer update has taken me away for a while :oops:

Whaaaaa? I take it he was quitting, why??

[hide] Oh god it's like it's 2005 /b/ all again. Just take out the funny this time arround. What are you talking about? Do you have no sense of humour at all? I'm sick and tired of people trying to act all mature, when they're probably laughing their [wagon] of behind he monitor, but "Oh no, we can't have me internet-friends see that I have a bad sense of humour and that I'm so immature.. I'll post something to negate that and really show them all how mature and awesome I am." -sigh- Or maybe .... he actually didn't find it funny. Quite a weird rant. Unpspam Yer, totally kind. Or maybe.. You should not join him trying to act mature. Quite a weird comment. [/hide]

Arma can be done at your leisure, not in 2 hour chunks. And if someone goes to arma, it is because they ACTUALLY WANT to go to arma, not because they are forced to to kill a monster. Oh, and I am yet to see someone with a hexcrest equiped, anyone got pics? After this post you should stop talking. No-one is forcing you to kill a monster. In exactly the same way no-one is forcing you to kill arma. I have no idea why you think you are actually forced to kill Jad. If you don't want to be able to kill wyrms for a task, then don't, it's that simple.

Higher still? 93 is a pretty high requirement. Thats the paradoxical thinking i get whenever i see people asking for high level content. I should've rephrased. I didn't particularly mean the slayer lvl. I'm happy with 93, it gives jagex room to play with new slayer monsters. I was reffering to maybe other requirements, as it takes getting a task from Kura, only being able to kill them while on the task, needing a fire cape etc. An example would be maybe an achievement diary complete / quest complete.

^ well said. It's not like the tip it community to complain about difficulty levels in RS. After quest realeases we're usually the first to get em done, and we welcome high lvl requirements with open arms. This is a good update, and I wouldn't mind it even if the requirements were higher still.

I'm all for high level content, but I do have to agree with this. The biggest issue I have with this is people with dial-up. You can have the best prayer switching abilities in RS, but if you have dial-up internet, you have a pretty high chance of losing against Jad. The lag is so bad in some cases that you don't actually hear the sound of what to pray, until the attack actually hits you. I really wish Jagex had taken that in consideration when they designed the update. Instead they should have made it so that while wielding the Firecape you hit double. This gives those who have the cape, a clear advantage. But those who cannot get the cape due to connection issues a much harder time killing, but still a way to kill them. If jagex were to take into consideration every person on dialup, then they wouldn't have many difficult things in the game. These staffs are meant to be difficult to obtain, and the pre-requisites for getting them make it so. People on a dialup connection shouldn't complain about not being able to kill Jad, as there are many other things they'd struggle to do. Pking properly, Corporal beast, TD's, God wars, the list goes on. If you really want to take full advantage of Runescape, maybe it's time to upgrade to broadband. its always easy to to tell someone there wrong when you better off then them... also why should people who cant afford a better internet be denied the right to do something? there paying for members... so they should have full access. When it's concerned with the internet, then you never have full access. Jagex are not responsible for connection types, and they shouldn't be held back by it. If people are unable to afford to play the game at it's peak, then they should either not complain and play what they are able to, or find a new game.

Tough question on sniping off the GE, if your lucky I reckon you could. I mean, there are people selling phats on the GE, and you'd assume those guys would at least have the knowledge of street prices. And surely the 93 + slayer community would be less knowledgeable of the street price concept. I'd give it a go, I reckon you'd get one :thumbsup: As for cmb triangle balance, after watching a video of a guy pvping with one, I seriously believe mages with this staff > > > melee. But it hasn't been out for long so there may be something everyone has overlooked.

This has a lot of discussion value in it's own. And I have different ideas to most people. I think the staff will drop hard, then rise again to around 20 mil and stabilize. My reasoning lies behind several ideas. 1. Most 93 slayers with fire cape who obtain the staff will keep it for themselves. They are the best way to kill Ice Stykewyrms and it itself is a VERY powerful asset to any high lvl Runescapers collection. 2. I see the staff being used in pvp. It's melee effects are very nice, and although they seem unbeatable, naturally some users will die. This will filter out many staffs from the game 3. The requirements to obtain the staff are still high. Not amazingly high, but high nonetheless. They can also not be farmed in the same fashion whips and dark bows can be. 4. And finally, it's just a good staff. Inflation gives lots of people money to spend, and this appears to be one of those must have items. These points make it seem like the staff should stabilize around 30 mil, but I don't think they will. There are too many keen slayers who would keep this price down.

I know it's not an RS topic, but I do think it still belongs here. What is the forum you visit the most. For instance, General Discussion, Blogspot, Help and advice etc. And what is the post you visit the most. Some good examples include Monster drops, clue rewards, real life pictures. For me: Forum - Easily general discussion, although I readily view ( barely post ) a lot of blogspot / rate this. Post - Post your pictures is obviously a big one, and it's stickied. I'd throw in a worthy mention to 3rd age armor, phat, etc discussion. It's got a lot of discussion value and there's always new information. So how about you guys?

To add to difficulty, it's hard to make a game like Runescape difficult pve wise. The only thing we can really rely on here is going to be observation, for instance, if a boss were to perform some action, you would have to respond quickly. Chaining these reactions would incorporate skill, as clicking + prayer swapping doesn't seem to cut it.

It's simple really, create a boss that gets tougher over time, or perhaps has phases. Meaning it'd be impossible to solo, as your single dps would never be high enough to kill it before it starts hitting 99 + I'd love to see a boss that required "healers." Far too much goes into eating / taking pots. Creating a boss that required you to continually hit if within melee range would make food useless here, as well as REQUIRE healers. This gives magic more involvement in boss fights, and adds a new dynamic to the game.

This. More than anything :thumbsup:
