18-5-2012 The Evolution of Combat: Beta Sign-Up
I could see some kind of special ability called 'elemental infusion' or something like that and working the way you specified. Maybe some will offer more offensive and defensive abilities.

Based on their timeliness, I'm thinking more like bug testing and final feedback. Though for the testers to cause any real changes, I would have thought the beta test would a bit earlier. It also seems that they are picking testers at random? The sign up just led to the 'get members Page'. Sign-up doesn't begin until the 1st of June. That link was simply reminding people that they'll need to be a member to even have a chance of participating. I was so disappointed.

It looks exactly like the dragon skirt... How do you miss that?! Maybe the QBD comes next week because it will be on a weekly/biweekly/monthly timer to prevent over-camping?

Maybe we'll see special class abilities like turning into elementals that do damage based on their element?

Or perhaps the dungeon is in a different dimension? (given the lack of sky/clouds) Would explain the whole "instanced" feature. I'm doubtful of that because they clearly stated they wanted a boss players could solo without needing a team or being crashed by one.

Managed to get down to 608k to 105 dg and 93k tokens. 140k tokens for t10 berserker... Not an impressive thing for me really, but I'll take it. I also am putting up miniature dg goals to see if that will make training dg more appealing and give me some feeling of accomplishment as i plug along with it. EDIT: Miniature goals only got me within reach of 110 which is a crying shame. I would never want to waste my tokens on less that desired ring classes. So I did the next best thing... I calculated, by myself mind you, the xp plus token turn in for each level and make them into goals too. I guess this is saying I'm going to be turning in my tokens for xp after 110-ish. Sad, but I might as well...

More food for discussion... Either that is water or its a crack in the foundation showing us a floating dungeon in the sky. This picture, barbecue of the design correlates with the media update pictures that we thought were adamantite dragons. The crack leading through the wall and floor together lead me to think this is an actual floating dungeon. Another thing makes me think that this might actually be the abode of the dragonkin. Maybe after the attacks from robert the strong the dragonkin decided to magically uproot their fortress and place it in the skies. This could also give them more reason to maintain the wings on their draconic creations. There are other pictures with slug-like creatures in them and I'm trying to figure out what they are for... They look awfully familiar to the slug queen/prince. I can see some dissimilarities between these 'slugs' and the mind-controlling slugs though. These ones have four arm-like protrusions and I'm willing to bet these are the wyrms of old.

The shield looks like a dragonfire shield, actually. Yeah, I think you're right. I never saw one since the graphical update. How do you not see one of those? They are the best defensive shield (cost-effective-wise).

Weren't their initially planning for her to drop a staff but scrapped that idea and replaced it for a range weapon? From the audio the mod stated that there was a staff drop. They said something about not being too fond of it because of all the other recent stave release updates. I could have heard wrong because the audio was kinda crappy with the british accent. On a barely relevant note... I can't stand rs players who don't know that 'staff' has a different plural name as 'staves'. Makes me want to cringe.

So I guess we'll be getting a new high level staff from the QBD along with the dragon kite and possibly a shield. Not sure on the crossbow and if it just comes from the quest.

[15-May-2012] Stomp the Bosses!
I'm guessing because KBD is in there we'll see a teaser for QBD? Just a hunch.

Upcoming combat changes
I was thinking they might make combat easier to train, like runesapn to rc and bonfire to fm. Oh well, better safe than sorry... Alright, now how can I get that 7 levels of strength by 100% afk? What?! Thats exactly how combat training already is...

I honestly think runescape evolving to the point of WoW is a long ways off. Considering the length of time I've played and how Jagex seems to develop their content they'll always have a watered down version of what appears in the minds eye of the community. I expect to see *some* "button-mashing," but the amount and complexity of play that you see in WoW is far, far off from what we might be seeing in the near future in runescape. I'm sure Jagex might develop the game to handle more complex actions similar to WoW such as an in-game macro creator for these buttons, but I don't see much past that.

Its just you. Every game evolves. I agree and also every game develops similar game mechanics they always just put their own twist on them.

Been a while updating, but I decided to turn things around. I bought my Greater Runic Staff, Wicked Cape, obtained esteem rank 4 AND finished another court case... I gave up on going for rank 3 because essentially I was wasting my time to obtain just xp and a barely noteworthy cosmetic reward, in my eyes at least. I'll probably return to complete these little things on my breaks, but for now a waste of time and very disinteresting. I'll probably complete the hard sunfreet fight before retuning to this just because I'm interested in doing the goliath glove tactic. Next court case up is EVIL Dave vs The People... In 14 days *sigh*.

May-11-2012 - The Evolution of Combat
Honestly I think this is something being worked from the ground up and the f2p and p2p aspects are minute.

Artisans Workshop
There was a thread I made a while back here about calculating some stuff on the artisan workshop for the Completionist trim requirements. I'm sure if you found if and took time to look over it you could calculate it from the numbers given.

Yeah it makes me sad too. I used to think I would be the lowest total xp for a maxed layer, but that was waaay before dungeoneering. Not so much that it's low for your total (xp waste an such), more that you're a solid 20m or so less than me, but have a maxcape ;-; Also:- Only need 30 pieces for poh tbh. I'm an idiot. I said it once don't make me say t again. I can't wait to leave runespan and start dging. I can just smell 105 coming at me!
