I noticed that when I timed my korasi's specs perfectly (as fast as possible when she was charging) more defilers didn't spawn. I have no idea why. So basically I went through the whole fight with only two defilers ever appearing, which I attacked and stuck behind the queen. After that, the fight was pretty easy. I used almost a full inventory of rocktails, and a bunyip.

I'm looking for someone to help me complete this task quickly, PM me I will be on the next few hours :wink:

Nothing. The community wasn't good to begin with. It was perhaps slightly better back in RS1 but it degraded quickly after RS2. Not surprising considering the game is made out mostly of males in their pre-teens, teens or young adulthood. That's easily the most obnoxious age/gender slice in the entire population.

"Life is too short to worry about highscores"
highlanders replied to gremmy's topic in General Discussion
Priorities, balance, efficiency and multitasking are key. Priorities: Work and studying should always come first, having none of those and playing 7 days a week is not acceptable. Balance between work and play. Efficiency when you do play, if you have any goals, And multitasking during low-attention activities, and I don't mean watching a film multitasking, something useful like studying. Sprinkle some 30 mins+ exercise a day and a good diet and I reckon gaming is going to be fine. The problem is when people throw everything out of the window and make video games their #1 priority out of lack of self control/addiction. -
Thanks quy and blade, that was very helpful

I haven't played in years and don't remember much of anything, or know what has been going on since I've left. In any case, what type of melee armour should one be wearing for slayer? Melee stats 92/89/89

I read this whole oddly hilarious topic It's not a commemorative item when you don't actually have to attend to get it. Nor is it a gift when you have to pay for it. I know games that host 10+ events a year, and a particular one that hosts ~2/month, and those games don't even have 10% of the fan base of this game. It costs maximum 30$ to get you in any of these events. But this one: £75 and 18+? Looks like they've been working hard to alienate most of the fan base. *chuckle*

The item is the same, wether one paid 2m or 40m for it, so theoritically, you did not lose anything. But practically, that's not how it goes, because one doesn't have an infinite amount of money. Buying too soon means overpaying because of the rarity at that time, so you do lose money.

How can "hackers" be so stupid ?

My message is directed to Grasle, and only for him, not to you. I have no interest in your opinion. -

I wasn't talking about Runescape, I was responding to his general statement. -

Yes, it can. Websites that are created to exploit vulnerabilities in your system when you visit them, such as not up to date software and sometimes new tricks they found regardless if the software is updated or not. Once they find the vulnaribility, they use it to download and install something on your computer. This goes all automatically when you visit the website. The vulnerability can be anything from an non-updated browser, to a new exploit found in quicktime that is used until it is patched. There's nothing you can do except update all your applications, but it may happen anyway as long as one uses windows. Windows itself has holes all over it, it is the most used system, and as such it's the one that gets all the viruses. -
I heard that if you cut all foolish activites like eating, working and sleeping, your efficiency will raise by 1456.6%.

On the long run, it's pretty risky to offer that option. If in a few years runescape was struggling to make money, they would be stuck with a potentially large amount of players who bought lifetime memberships, and would freeload on the servers, resulting in server costs and no fresh money entering. If one made a graph out of this, assuming the lifetime membership cost is equivalent to 3 years, then one could see jagex making a profit boom at the time of purchase, then be profiting until 3 years, but after those 3 years each additional year they would lose money. The older the game would become, the more they would lose money on lifetime suscribers. This is something I would see on younger games with higher player turn-over rates. Flashy graphics, nice combat, is fun for a while, but little content so people leave fast. Player buys it, quits after 6 months, profit made. On rs a lot of people stay years, because the content and updates incensitive to stay years is there. Jag knows they can get people to pay the full price for years and years, they don't need this.

More players now, skills are easier in Rs2, the game is older. Young games with small communities don't have much high leveled people, so whichever items produced out of high lvl abilities are rarer and consequently worth more.

If you haven't personally played Rs1, then you don't know and never will be able to know if the community was better. That's really all there is to it. You don't have anything to base yourself upon when you claim it's just memory making everything better, you don't know that, you weren't there. Who are you going to believe. The person who was there. Or the person who wasn't there. It's that simple. Ideally, if you haven't seen it with your eyes, have no opinion. Why bother having an opinion you're clueless about? The community wasn't perfect back in Rs1, but it was perfect in its imperfection. In a sense that, the good balanced out the bad and the community was overall more interesting. Get in a room with 5 people. What happens? You talk, you get to know each other, it's easy when you're not many. Same room, but put 10 people, you can still communicate but it's not as private. Put 30 people in, you only hear the loud ones. Put 200/500/1000 people in increasingly large rooms: what happens? Some sort of chaos, people only go towards people they already know, and have no clue about the rest of the people. It's true that extremes meet sometimes, in rooms with huge amounts of people you are actually more alone than in a room with 10 people. You enter into a restaurant. You get seated at an individual table, and simply eat. Another restaurant, you enter and get seated at a round table with 7 other strangers à la Euro-style. What happens? You talk to them, and make new acquaintances. In this metaphor, Rs1 is an average to poor restaurant but with round tables and you get to communicate. Rs1 is the classroom with 5 or 10 people. Rs2 is the restaurant you get seated alone with no human contact, but the food is excellent. Rs2 is the crazy room with 2000 people in it. 10 servers with 300-ish people each or 1xx servers with 2000 people each. It's worth mentioning the community starting sucking before miniclip arrived, miniclip just exacerbated the problem from bad to very bad. The real cause being Rs2 of course = huge [bleep]e in population.

A 2005 survey by the European Union reported that half of all Europeans speak a second language while a resolution from the same year published by the U.S. Senate found that only 9 percent of Americans could do the same. In answer to some idiocies posted in this thread.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but English is a very easy language. The grammar and sentence structure is very simple. The vocabulary is straightfoward, and rarely difficult to write. To write well in romantic languages, you have to have extensive knowledge each tense of the verbs, which are full of subtilities. In English, almost nothing changes, you simply add words such as: have, will, will have, had, would, would have, have been. Take the present tense of any verb, in this case say: I say You say he says we say you say they say How more simple do you want it? It's the same thing over and over: say say say say say. Now here's the verb say, same present tense, in french: je dis tu dis il dit nous disons vous dites ils disent Not so simple, it is? And that's just the present tense, you haven't seen anything yet. In italian: Presente io dico tu dici egli dice noi diciamo voi dite essi dicono ----- Now here is the entire verb in english: Present continuous I am saying you are saying he/she/it is saying we are saying you are saying they are saying Present perfect I have said you have said he/she/it has said we have said you have said they have said Future I will say you will say he/she/it will say we will say you will say they will say Future perfect I will have said you will have said he/she/it will have said we will have said you will have said they will have said Past continuous I was saying you were saying he/she/it was saying we were saying you were saying they were saying Past perfect I had said you had said he/she/it had said we had said you had said they had said Future continuous I will be saying you will be saying he/she/it will be saying we will be saying you will be saying they will be saying Present perfect continuous I have been saying you have been saying he/she/it has been saying we have been saying you have been saying they have been saying Past perfect continuous I had been saying you had been saying he/she/it had been saying we had been saying you had been saying they had been saying Future perfect continuous I will have been saying you will have been saying he/she/it will have been saying we will have been saying you will have been saying they will have been saying You add some words: will/have/had/been, etc. You add -ing at the end, learn 'said', and then remember which goes where and that's it, you learned your verb. It's extremely simple. Now here's in french. je dis tu dis il dit nous disons vous dites ils disent Passé composé j' ai dit tu as dit il a dit nous avons dit vous avez dit ils ont dit Imparfait je disais tu disais il disait nous disions vous disiez ils disaient Plus-que-parfait j' avais dit tu avais dit il avait dit nous avions dit vous aviez dit ils avaient dit Passé simple je dis tu dis il dit nous dîmes vous dîtes ils dirent Passé antérieur j' eus dit tu eus dit il eut dit nous eûmes dit vous eûtes dit ils eurent dit Futur simple je dirai tu diras il dira nous dirons vous direz ils diront Futur antérieur j' aurai dit tu auras dit il aura dit nous aurons dit vous aurez dit ils auront dit Impératif Présent dis disons dites Passé aie dit ayons dit ayez dit Subjonctif Présent que je dise que tu dises qu' il dise que nous disions que vous disiez qu' ils disent Passé que j' aie dit que tu aies dit qu' il ait dit que nous ayons dit que vous ayez dit qu' ils aient dit Imparfait que je disse que tu disses qu' il dît que nous dissions que vous dissiez qu' ils dissent Plus-que-parfait que j' eusse dit que tu eusses dit qu' il eût dit que nous eussions dit que vous eussiez dit qu' ils eussent dit Conditionnel Présent je dirais tu dirais il dirait nous dirions vous diriez ils diraient Passé j' aurais dit tu aurais dit il aurait dit nous aurions dit vous auriez dit ils auraient dit Infinitif Présent dire Passé avoir dit Participe Présent disant Passé dit ayant dit Gérondif Présent en disant Passé en ayant dit The verb is very complex. Each tense, and each person has a unique writting. And this goes for french, italian, spanish, portuguese, who all function in a similar way. And that's just verbs, you're not even starting to touch the grammatical complexity of romanic languages. Romantic verbs are filled with exceptions, and grammar writting in general as well, you can rarely rely on a "rule" as there are endless exceptions to the gramatical rules, exceptions which are long and difficult to master. In english, there are very little. And this isn't just romanic languages. Other germanic languages such as german, deutsch, danish, swedish, etc, are ALL difficult languages. And that's not even talking about vocabulary itself. English has no accents, little apostrophes, and little 'catches'. All other germanic and romanic languages have accents, and several subtilies in writing. English is alone in its standing of ridiculous easy to learn language. Sorry, but that's the reality. It doesn't mean americans, or british are any way inferior because of it. But saying your language is hard is a blatant and arrogant LIE, because it isn't. Get your head out of your [wagon].

Tip it is Cliquey - Share you thoughts/Experiences
highlanders replied to Johannas's topic in General Discussion
About 1 year ago, I thought tif couldn't get any worse, but it did. It's actually impossible to communicate now. Whatever you post, all you will get in a handful of flamming and snide comments. This forum is neither friendly, or mature, as a matter of fact it's simply worthless. You definitively won't see me here anymore, because sadly you just don't deserve me here. And I urge anyone who isn't like the scumbags who regularly polute tif to do the same, and leave if atleast to go to another RS fansite community. It's going to be a funny sight to see as this forum spirals down into hell, because yes, it will. -
Several animals practice it in nature, it is 100% sustainable for months. The widespread solid 8 hours pattern is something that has appeared only in the last 100 years with the invention of artificial light. Several cultures today and in the past practiced napping, sleeping whenever it was convenient and not in solid bouts but rather in several smaller periods.

RS2 feels like a waste of time, RSC feels like im part of it
highlanders replied to mrrowntree's topic in General Discussion
Lol, there were not many people at all. You honestly sound like one of those guys who pretend they've played RSC to give some sort of importance to their opinion. RSC was all about people not being mere numbers. Skills were much harder to level up, and having 99 in a skill was very rare, and a huge achievement. Leveling up was integral part of the game, but not an ends in itself. Many players were recognized for being a positive part of the community. RS2 came and made everything easier to obtain, now if you get a 99, you're just number xxxxx. RS2 players give a huge importance to leveling up as the only thing that matters. If you want to stick out, you need to basically sell your soul to this game. Niceness, or integrity is not recognized anymore at all. -
+2 str and +1 is highly insignificant. You have to be out of your mind to think it makes you kill monsters any faster. But I wouldn't care too much about it, it's just natural selection, the dummies waste 8M.

To think that people voted for the lame santa suit over the pet reindeer. Even F2P, who wouldn't be able to get a pet otherwise.

[hide=] [/hide] That's not true. It is possible to play nearly 24 hours by using polyphasic sleep. Polyphasic sleep is the secret trick people very high on highscores list use to gain insane amounts of exp everyday. It consists of sleeping ~30 minutes, every four hours. The body, instead of wasting time at lower phases of sleep like it does with normal sleeping, goes directly to deep regenerating sleep. Meaning you can effectively stay awake 21 hours a day, and still feel just fine. Leonardo da Vinci and other known figures practiced it, and it's said to give one's a boost of creativity. It's even possible to just sleep 10 minutes every 4 hours when your body is used to it, meaning you can stay up 23 hours. This is why the length of time played a day, or the amount of exp is not incriminating, it's suspicious only to those who don't understand how it's done.

Please lock/delete/or at least don't post in thread anymore.
highlanders replied to NuckingFuts's topic in Rants
Personally attacking a user for several posts about something irrelevant to the dicussion is flamming aswell as spamming. If you had been a responsible user you would have simply reported the post, and kept on topic, which you obviously have not. This topic has not been locked yet, proves that you in fact did not report this post at all, aswell as the fact none of the posts on this thread are shown as "already reported". This applies to me aswell of course, however I have absolutely no patience for arrogant users such as yourself from whom I have never read any constructive post ever on this forum. And now, I am reporting this topic and getting it locked.
