desert one in particular doesn't really mean anything when you have a tiara

the point of being a gorilla in the minigame is just to end the game faster so you don't have to be a gorilla if they wanted people to actively participate in gorilla tactics (besides those sort of boring abilities), they would increase the point rewards for traps and takedowns

yeah, for the most part skillcapes were introduced before the higher level additions, because jagex didn't feel comfortable with releasing that kind of thing until there were enough players to actually enjoy them (besides smithing, and even then it wasn't the exclusive source of gear) one might propose that the skillcape environment made the higher level stuff more likely to be released, however there's the counterproposal that all it really did was rush all of the other levels and left them without actually useful content, such as everything in herblore below extremes being considered inferior for bossing except for two potions, up until stat boosters were made less important

ninja team's budget is an actual potato (bonus is cabbage) they get most of the stuff they need from other departments by threatening to ruin their work with minor patch note alterations and hiding their lunches

the corner snagging is part of the avoidance strategy with the risk that flames or more gorillas are going to notice you. the main risk of running is fire, so as a gorilla it's more useful to force players to choose a shitty path with cauldrons and fire and walls than the straight runs (perhaps on the ends also), so punish them by camping in the straight runs and force them to go towards the middle, or ride their asses and hope that they blew their stun early (if they're scrubs that use stun) professional gorilla trolls just click around the pillars however, it's generally more useful to just quit if you fail early, since a lot of players are able to group efficiently now, although if you're burning away the last rounds and it's impossible to hunt them all, you can just boobytrap somewhere down the path you think they'll go, and then gently "encourage" them towards it with your presence and laugh when they trigger the springloaded banana, since nobody ever really seems to catch on that you can see them all the way down the map and know where they're planning to run, and blindly harvest everything

sometimes, I think about filling it entirely with pet rocks or goldfish, so that whenever I enter my house, all of the rocks/fish have managed to change positions while I was away, but never actually move when I'm there

Yes. You can still stay in a group (sort of) if you all enter at the same time, but it's less likely. Still, players in general seem to be more or less civil these days, even with sore losers here and there. Phase 3 introduces to us the Riches passive, which grants a significant bonus over time, as it gives 10% more points every round. These points aren't actually shown until after the game is finished, but you can easily gain over 30 extra points in this fashion if you manage to survive to the end. The tradeoff is that you don't have Iron Hide in the case of a terrible group, but rarely has there been reward without risk... the other new abilities are terrible, as always, and lack the utility that stun gorillas, dash, and flameproof have, save for the potential for the instakill ability POSSIBLY allowing you to KO a gorilla twice per game, if the text in their official wiki is right, and the game is currently wrong, as it does not allow you to knock out gorilla guards at the moment, and should either be clarified to say that it doesn't do that, or patched ingame so that it does gorilla guards carry four trophies, so getting eight more trophies per game while freeing nine tiles that are filled with monkey minions from the gorilla menace MAY justify dropping flameproof if you're smart about it, and if you manage to run a good group, you can all share in the four trophy glory and stuff your trousers full of cabbages

seeing as gudrik says there's probably more mutant crab people, i guess they might still be there? would explain why my house is once again barred to entry they could also repurpose the kidnapped villager cage to hold a pile of treasure qbd style as for elf dg it's already been established that the structures are dragonkin, so we don't NEED a link to zamorak i think it'd be neat if they put some crazy shit in the area under the ape atoll temple

Doesn't assuming the adventurer starts in the sixth age sort of introduce a lot of fundamental continuity errors, such as bearing witness to Guthix's death right before the start of the sixth age?

depending on the fc, they may or may not be successful in warding off people dedicated to attacking other players

well, there's always judgment calls to be made on whether or not the group is taking an optimal path, if you see a gauntlet of pain up ahead versus camping spots for trophies versus remaining time, taking a side path is always an option and never underestimate your ability to take risks that pay off by approaching the goal from another direction or capitalizing on sudden changes in the situation, although it may take you a few tries to get a handle on your limit usually, bad situations are forced by the presence of too many player controlled gorillas, which shouldn't be an issue if you're running with an fc, otherwise it's limited to AI gorillas which get caught on things constantly and only aggro in range or line of sight, and fire/cauldrons that you can see ahead, choose to burn a fire shield, or dash if it's only one or so there's also a secret pro tactic that i will only discuss in PM cause it's so leet

depends, but if you're in a bind, the damage reduction may be more helpful in group games you're generally just tanking ai gorillas while harvesting so you can eat the damage during that time with the recovery

Might also include expensive minigame purchases.

New abilities since yesterday. I suggest considering swapping stun for dash, if you're not playing in a dedicated group. Dash evades everything (a crude fireproof, a corner cutter through cauldron squares if you shoot diagonally) and puts you significantly ahead of rabid gorillas, as long as you're pointed in the right direction and know approximately where you'll land. Since the cooldown is a minute, you can use it in the earlier rounds once per round, although later on the rounds will be ending faster, unless once again you're in a group, in which case it's better to have stuns since they can be shared. once again, the other abilities are trolling abilities or inferior

"hey guys let's all put up rocktail bubbles we're so damn smart"

naturally, but as zaros seems intent on letting the gods remain oblivious to the crisis, he probably intends to find out which god or gods is actually going to win for his own ongoing quest for knowledge of how to attain superiority and growth something something lesson only learned when earned, etc there wouldn't be any growth if the gods stopped their conflict to deal with the crisis with their untested strength and wit (which reduces their chances of surviving) and then, if they do survive, end up fighting again without having learned anything

right, the god wars (well any war) represents a conflict of ideals whatever wins will have to face the ultimate challenge: convincing an immortal being (well, basically immortal from our perspective) that mortals deserve to exist

would make the grind more interesting reminds me that those house trophies are gathering dust though

eating a cabbage or banana in the event area grants 20k hp, with a silly message to go with both was brassica prime male to begin with?

wait, why would somebody want to pull a sapling out of a pot?

the dialogue is easily worth two or three easters

I guess it just comes down to better documentation Since you pay these people to have ideas and make designs, they should have notes that anybody can understand, even though they think that since they're going to be doing it, they don't have to write it down

I think Zaros only shows up when he deems it necessary (as indicated by his history of only showing up when he deems it necessary) so unless he HAS to be there, he's not gonna be there, and will prefer sending somebody else (or just, y'know, piggybacking off of you) to do the dirty work

Some names for presets: "Bank Standing" "Invention" "Sailing" "Riot"
