I agree with most of what you say, the only people who I believe have a legitimate reason for filtering their PMs constantly are famous people(and p mods to a lesser extent), because they WILL get random annoying people constantly. I know several people who add random interesting names such as "God" or "Santa" and the like, and they usually say something when one of them logs in/turns their chat on. Also, it's harder to make a rsof team with private chat on. You DO get random strange people pming you very rarely, but some of those rare times it's some new player legitimately looking for help, and I don't see what is wrong with that. It doesn't happen very often, but it does occur.

Also, simply showing the stats of the chaotic shield(which has significantly higher melee defense than the other 2) in the first post is equivalent to spreading misinformation/propaganda to support your point in my opinion. It would be more useful(and difficult) to compare these shields to a DFS, BSS or spectral, all three of which I assume the new shields are better than, but would have to look into it more closeley.

TDs max at/under 30. Assuming a "hit" has an even distribution of damage, ~67% of the damage is completely ignored. That is assuming that you're using a shield at all which would be stupid without one of the chaotic weapons(or possibly with, havent tried them). You seem to be saying that these shields are better, except at bosses. When else do you use a shield? I don't do PvP, so I wouldn't know about that, but they are very few non boss situations where a shield would be more useful than a defender, dragons/wyverns aside. Elysian effectively has a 17.5% chance to block ALL damage, divine has a chance to block 30% of ALL damage. The chaoic shields have at best a chance to block 20% of damage over 200 of a specific type. So for arma soloing, then farseer(10% mage 20% melee -15 range +5 mage def) or eagle eye(10% range 20% mage +4 range +25 mage def) would be best. Divine is superior in every aspect, so including that in comparison is useless. With either new shield, the MOST damaging attack, kree's very accurate magic which maxes at 20 is completely unaffected. So point for elysian(+17.5%) The next most damaging attack would be kilisa's melee, maxes at 25 I believe. Elysian will block 17.5%, eagle is useless, farseer will block 20% of 200-250 hits, which (assuming even spread) is 4%. Point elysian (+13.5%) That leaves wingman's magic, again max of 25 Elysian, still 17.5%, eagle 20% of 200-250 so 4%, and farseer 20% of 200+, 2% So elysian will either have an edge of 13.5% or 15.5%. The new shields have either 3(farseer) or 22(eagle) more magic defense. Elysian has 15/10 more slash defense(I assume this is kilisa style) than the new shields. So unless the 3-22 magic defense increase is more than the loss of 17.5% on the most damaging attack, 17.5 or 13.5% on the second most damaging, 13.5 or 15.5% on the "weakest", and the lowered melee defense(unless kilisa crushes with those claws, which is possible I suppose), then elysian is better for armadyl soloing. Again, divine is vastly superior, and not worth taking the time to compare.

I don't see how one person getting dominated by multiple people is bad or how that should even be considered along with the other issues. If ten guys jump you, assuming ten people not significantly weaker/slower than you, you are going to lose, and that is how it should be in a game. It is obviously unfortunate for the person getting ganged up on...but they should go get a gang of their own or avoid multi combat. Note: I don't even vaguely care about pvp, so I don't have much experience, but the topic looked interesting.

I wonder why they chose to keep graardor and promote wingman...it would make more sense if all of the AOG generals were different like the sara/zam ones seeing as you have to asassinate them, or...like what they said above, but I doubt that. then again I don't have much aog experience.

There seems to be one of these for every page. Cyclical threads are always interesting.

3.5m every 3.5 days looks pretty good to me. With a Divine, I'd had made double that in 1 day at Arma solos. Status item or no status item, in the end it is just a pixel hat that can not bring me any enjoyment via gameplay. The graphic is actually made up of several pixels. Blatantly off topic, but it irritates me when people attempt to repeat moronic sayings, especially when they instead release some rubbish like that.

What's the point of switching as opposed to staying at whichever one is faster?

You won't be using it's stab bonus, when you have a better slash bonus, will you. The difference between both stabs is much smaller than Rapier stab vs. CLS slash, which is the main reason why some people want CLS (increased accuracy, and str of course), however the speed difference stays the same. Well if you were only getting one of the two, then the stabbing would be nice for dragons.

Oh my god...update on a thursday...don't know if I can handle this... ...

Using piety and eagle will be significantly better but...click intensive.

I really don't see how this conversation carried on past the 6th post. Also, someone stated somewhere that dragon has better range defense, it doesn't.

Makes super antis a good deal less useful then :sad: damn progress...

What are "least harmful" and "party magician?"

I use turmoil A LOT more than I use overloads(Not much point actually getting 96, by the way). The only times when the boost from extreme to overload is really worthwhile are soloing or free for all. I would go for soulsplit, extremes, turmoil, and then finally overloads.

Has any mod ever answered whether or not rewards might become returnable at a lower rate?

the poster never mentioned where the heck he got the image of the cloak. I was assuming that that picture displayed over the page in game? Logically, it would obviously be a bit strange to find a miniature cloak as a bookmark for a diary...but stranger things have happened. All the pages are clear. So Gavati edited the screenshot, and all of my beliefs about the world are based on a false reality :blink:

I'm assuming that they decay based on the global clock, and that when you log-in, you don't actually get logged in until the next full tick...or not.

I remember seeing a test a while back that confirmed that both your range level and range bonus affect the cannon's accuracy, but to my knowledge the max hit from a cannonball is constant. So by that reasoning, if the focus bonus is applied to your range level, then yes.

If this is true, it explains the XP difference. It would also be quite a flaw in the XP system... I realize my bonus room multiplier is higher for Floor 16. I was merely referring to the Floor XP and Prestige Xp however, not the total XP I ended up getting. Although, if you are referring to Qeltar's explanation, what you are saying explains my situation. tbhthey should either not call them *bonus rooms* or not take off floor/prestige exp..the herb growing in the dungion does help alot and solves most of the problems but for people with lower skills it doesnt cut it Also there are some doors which are completely impossible for you to open even with boosts, such as a lvl 94 rc door for me while soloing, and those should be either completely removed or removed from consideration from your base xp.

Always use 3 doses, and I have been told of a trick to make boosts longer but have not tried personally, but will next time I need a batch of overloads. Put berserker on quick pray(yes, it works for non combat boosts), have 4 of each potion+4 torstols in your inventory(24 spaces), set your withdraw-x to 4, and keep stews in your remaining inventory spaces. Whenever you get a sufficient boost, immediately log out. This is meant to re-align your boost with the game clock so that you're never actually online long enough for the boost to wear off before you reset it. Then click quick pray berserker and make 2 inventories worth of overloads(8), then log out and repeat. 12 or 16 overloads might be possible but I am not sure, also I just remembered that you were not asking about overloads so... Do all of that, except you will be able to make more potions per login, but I'm not sure how many exactly.

You're much better off leaving piety on the entire time and use d mace for specs. When you're able, turmoil is obviously better and you will never need any food with a unicorn. I would advise against taking a bob and using split alone, though. If you do that, you may need food. All of that could be completely irrelevant for now depending on your prayer level. Also, your bandos/dfs setup is best for wyverns.

I tried sticking an offer for one about 3 hours after they updated 3ish days ago but no luck yet gewise...you might want to try that if you don't mind 500mish being tied up for the next what...60ish days at most?

I remember mjolnirs being included in one of the recent patch notes, so I'm assuming that method was removed.
