You would be surprised at what seemingly routine/simple stuff gets left out of the budget both for dev time and expendetures. Even in regular businesses too...

You probably have the trio voyages left. The three different trios have three parts to them.

That'd be a bit stupid, distance is how far your ships have travelled, in what plane of logic would it make sense for you to be able to freeze distance but still have ships travel? Part of the challenge of doing ports well is the fact things are always moving forward regardless of what you are seeking so you have to decide whether to move with it or hang back. Besides that would make it too easy for scrolls and trade goods. Besides they have the option to focus on regions.

Sounds suspiciously like that thing Scientology uses...Considering what wikipedia says scientology uses the term, but its also a neuroscience term. An engram is basically a hypothetical locstion where the memory is stored. No one really knows how memories are managed and stored in the human brain. Engrams are also thought of as places where the dead hold significant memories of and impression of themselves there. An engrammeter probably helps you hunt for memories the dead mahjarrat imprinted on the land.

I would hardmode with you... oh how I want that! Considering her drops hardmode makes me excited. Then again they could end up making her drop table 1.5x what it normally is and disappoint us. Or they could rename her current mode as an easy mode and make a normal mode that drops t85 weapons. You do realise Ambler was referring to the fact the current boss poll is for a new solo boss with a duo hard mode and not in the slightest anything to do with a duo hard mode for QBD right? Yeah I was aware. Do you remember the old qbd concept used for qbd where it showed two players facing her?

So apparently you'll need to train divination to obtain the memories to charge an "engrammeter." Engrams are hypothetically, fragments if memories. So I think we are collecting memories to charge the engrammeter. In return when we hit a limit it will have a sufficient charge to help lead us to a new memory. From there I think it might be a hot and cold minigame to hunt for the exact location of the memories.

You have to keep in mind that mahjarrat memories, as far as learning about the other gods that have died, set us up for jagex bringing us to hidden caches of god energy. I would emphesize hidden because most think once a god dies that everyone and their mother is sucking up that energy.

What if the dragonkin qyest line finale involved the dragonriders finally getting their "children" in the form of lizardmen who have the same innate ability to work with dragons and other beasts?

Has anyone considered that quick inventory should have been two inventory slots that allow us to select specifically which option to use (Option 1-X)? Maybe it would have been more popular?

So I did some research on mahjarrat memories (MM) and a lot of interesting tidbits. There is a dedicated thread on the lore forum here: http://[Use Quick Find Code]/a=13/sl=0/[Please Use QuickFind Code]?341,342,232,65285562,goto,1 Also from the way we might obtain the memories it may end up being a recycled mechanic used much like obtaining guthixian memories and strange rocks combined. I'm also thinking they might be making these memories dropable as crystals that, when used at the right locations, allow us to experience their memories. I'm guessing we should expect to kill things to obtain specific memories. From there we might have to bring them to specific locations like with jennicas ring.

Todays actually going well... I finished my abby task earning trisk fragment 2 which was cool. I'm working on remastering qbd with ability queuing, but the wifes work compiter ain't helping. I'm looking to qbd all day today and pay off octarine and earn some more gp towards virtus wand. I also upped my abyssal orb offer to 5.2m and its not selling. I think its finally settled :(. Edit: I had to bump my offer to 6.2m for the orb to buy. I'm not too irritated because I'm back to making bank at qbd. I'm at about 3.3/15m for octarine.

I think if siesmic wand ever diped under 500-600m it would start effecting virtus wand. But yeah abyssal wand did have SOKE effect on virtus wand in that it did get it to drop 20m. That isn't much, but I could see it staying around 80-90m if siesmic comes to be around 500m

What dumbfounds me is how this discussion isn't talking about potentially winning some content territory for experience prestige. While it may not be I'm everyones interest to obtain 104m xp in a single skill it should still be recognized. Also by 'it' I mean large experience milestones. We should be excited to see this as a victory. Surely the player base will complain. It is just the same as nonpvm players and completing the fight caves and kiln. How about players and comp cape? Really its all just the perspective of there being something new to be obtained. Most players just need jagex to officiate something such as 120 skill capes for it to seem new. Other players like jeremy have been using websites to help keep track of their virtual level for a long time. So really they are familiar with virtual levels already. But to see it officiated in game would be a lot easier to manage. I suppose if this poll wins its a momentous foothold for a prestige system. I foresee the next step as adding a second window for virtual levels similar to the actual skill tab. I think the prestige interface could just display virtual level. Under it we could see experience to the next virtual level and our overall experience in the skill. On a side note I feel that some content needs to be released independent of the PTTP vote. A prestige system is one of those things because it leaves most players outside of its range with a bad taste in their mouth. Some content is just not designed for the players who are voting for it. The ones who feel like they'll never reach that content feel its a waste to them will shoot it down. Then when they finally max they'll be kicking themselves over it because they voted with a shortsighted view on the game. Another side bar... this discussion shouldn't be about experience efficiency crowds. This is about recognizing players who play despite the level cap.

You couldn't without alienating the player base and depreciating their personal and community character value.
