Forum user Soratharax reported the following issue with the Royal Trouble questguide via PM: The game claims the quest has a requirement of 40 slayer, but you seem to be able to complete it with less. This seems to be echoed on the talk page on RSWiki's Royal Trouble guide by numerous users.

I'm not too keen on relying on a single strategy. At some point, every player you encounter will be skilled enough to recognize and defend against a 4-gate push, it might just seem that at that point you'll be hitting a brick wall. The four-gate won't be as efficient as you'd like it to be, and when doing other strategies you don't play as well because you aren't really used to them yet. Against turtles, be sure to keep scouting. Otherwise you might be caught pants down when he's going to push out or when he's suddenly trying to shove a million billion banshees down your throat. If you don't belong in Gold with the new race, you'll drop down soon enough. At that point, you'll play comfortably against players of your skill, allowing you to get better at the new race without being steamrolled so hard that you didn't really learn anything at all. Sure, it might suck that you could end up dropping below gold, but hey, if you don't play at all you're not going to enjoy the game either :P

Hmm, it does add up. We were at seven new puzzles out of eight, under the assumption that the addition of the winch was merely an update to the meat-corn puzzle room. I figured not even Jagex would consider that room a _new_ challenge room :unsure: I'll add some text on the winch sometimes not being there, as the two rooms are hardly worth separate entries. Thanks :)

TB's done a fairly amusing feature on this game on YouTube:

I thought July's games were pretty good. As for Actionjesuz...

Game 4's awesome as well. Incredible finals.

TRWF fighting!

Sorry for the offtopic but... god damn was he a crazy guy! I'd almost forgotten about him(and his bunny ears, mithril chain, infinity bottoms and flippers). If anyone ever needs an example of a guy who was as inefficient as possible but a great guy with a great personality, he was the standard. I second this post.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzMhh8zhTiY, because SC2 is more awesome than Justin Bieber :P I should probably play this game more... As for Supernova, cleared it without too much effort using ye olde marine-marauder-medic squads. I only played on medium difficulty, though.

Heh, I can definitly relate to the second article. I've been back now for a few months, and I'm still in the process of getting used to how things are right now, after my WoW-break of a few years. As for the first, well, prolonged exposure to various MMO-forums kind of lead me to believe that people will complain about everything ever. As a result, I can't say I've given the subject much thought myself as I just take all the complaining for granted :P nice to see some deeper thoughts on it.

I don't know what program he used to do that. I'm fairly sure that it's legal, though. He could get the same effect by putting tip-ex on his monitor, after all :mrgreen:

Heh, he actually called them patent trolls in an official statement. I'm glad the court ruled in favour of Jagex, this entire lawsuit was a load of bull to be honest :mellow:

It seems that they've merely updated the meatcorn & grapple hook puzzle room to include these extra elements, and extra options for self-mutilation because apparently operating a winch is rather deadly. The old room (without the winch) no longer seems to exist. This has been updated in the DG guide, and I've added your name to the credits. Thanks for submitting, changes should be live shortly :)

Thank you for your submission :) It seems that a crewbie already ran into the puzzle and added it without stumbling across this topic. It's listed now, so locking this. Thanks again :)

Well, there's a difference between being an English major and writing articles of decent quality. That said, the mistakes that were made didn't really bother me and I don't see why that one poster is getting so worked up over them :mellow: I feel the same way as the author of the first article does...I really don't have anything to add to that. As for the second article, I find that I use(d) voice-chat mostly out of convenience. Performing in an intense boss battle while typing just isn't possible, but voice-chat doesn't require you to press any buttons (apart from a conveniently placed push-to-talk button maybe). I never really felt that voice-chat added personality or anything. What a person says (or types) and how he acts means more to me than the way he sounds. That said, that particular bit wasn't really the focus of the article. Like the author, I too am a bit sceptical about the referenced article's findings. I'm not in a fictional mood right now, will read those later :)

The thing is, you'll need X bars for getting your desired smithing level but Y bars for getting your desired magic level. I can image someone going "Hey, I'd like to get to 80 smithing, wonder how many ores and superheat-runes I'd need". I can't imagine someone going "Hey, I'd like to get 90 magic, let's do it through super-heating!!!". At best, I can imagine someone being mildly interested in how much magic XP doing an X amount of superheats would give him, which the magic planner can tell you just fine. Having this information in one calculator would be convenient to a few people, but I'm sure that you understand that we can't make a calculator for every little thing. Having the GE prices at your fingertips would definitely be cool, though. For the time being this is sadly somewhat impractical :(

Hello Nunsuch, welcome to the forums and thank you for your submission :) I thought people didn't really bother with cooking ranges in Daemonheim. I'll go ahead and add an icon for it. I don't understand your suggestion. The rooms currently fit 2x2 items. If you mean that you'd like to see this increase to 3x3, I can see why, but unfortunately that'd make the tool simply too large for people using a lower screen resolutions.

Hello Sdcw435, welcome to the forums and thank you for your submission :) I've corrected the mistake. The calculator will now simply state that you'll restore prayer and summoning points, instead of claiming that the potion will actually boost the levels. An updated version of the calculator will be live shortly. Edit: the change is now live, locking...

If not this, then no. I agree with these gentlemen.

Colour and color also gets me now and again :unsure: especially lovely since CSS just ignores stuff it doesn't know so you're left wondering why the bloody hell the background colour isn't working. But yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about not being knowledgeable about coding. There's plenty of resources available that help you get in the groove and which are geared towards tip.it as a site, so learning it won't be as scary as it might seem. And for what it's worth, I've been F2P for the majority of the time I've been on the crew, so don't let that stop you :P

Emphasis on 'up to', I guess. As for the guy mentioning that you can't fill the coal bag from your bank, well, I believe they stated they are taking suggestions. Seems like a valid one!

Hey Rob, welcome to the forums and thank you for your submission. It was indeed an error. I've patched it up, and the properly working calculator should be live on the site shortly. According to the fixed calculator, your max hit using that setup with the special attack would be 253.

Thumbs up for the article on F2P dungeoneering. It really is a mess right now and it could definitely use some love. The flat out wham 50% cut is just insane :unsure: I've not yet gotten around to reading the other ones, will do later!

The updating thing wasn't too clear to me, either. Quick search revealed some people mentioning the automatic silent update functionality, but that might have been related to older versions of it? Google has this to say about it. Basically, hit the wrench icon and go to 'About Google Chrome'. In there you'll be told whether or not your version's up to date. As for Safari, no idea. I doubt that a performance increase would be significant enough to use it solely for using RuneScape, and other than that there's really no reason to it. Hell, some people consider it to be worse than IE :-X
