Stupid Idea. 5 points = 3 - 4 minutes with a relay with a mate. Easy fast tickets therefore ruining the rarity of Decorative armour. Considering that it's possible (albeit extremely hard) to score 23 points in a match limiting it to only 4 or 5 would ruin cw. Instead of defending you could just focus everything on attack and finish the game very easily

Whenever i turn eagle eye on in cw its slow so i think i missed it and click again thus turning it off :x v.annoying

The "winged helmet thing" from fremmenik trials is tradable now i believe...

I notice the difference in attack and def training and as minute as the difference is it's definelty there. I last way longer at ankous on defensive

I am normally on normal for the teleports and alching, but i change to ancients for cw and lunar for pits

I'm sorry but this is such a terrible argument. Oh noes I'm level 80 I'm not allowed to beat a level 115 :( If he is level 115 and can get flag from you he is BETTER than you and deserves to win, and without flag holding he would win anyways. God forbid there be a game that favors higher levels. Like koddo said, we "worked" our way too higher combats, we can reap the benefits.

This is what i rely on in most games to prevent it, amd makes the most sense. Koddos post makes the most sense out of everyones really, if they are able to hold it as a team then why can't you get it back as a team? If they can keep it and not allow you to get it then they are the better team.

Nice guide but you've overcompliacted it. It's easy enough to do it only stopping twice, sometimes once depending on where the last elemental is.

IMO this isn't poor designing. It's an addition to the CTF style of games, in the game Geist, for example, if you capture a portal you can effectively claim the portal by standing on it and gunning anything that comes towards you. BUT this can be put aside by 2 player attacking the player from either side, easily killing him. The same is with CW, admittedly it is hard to obtain the flag on your own but even with one other person it's possible. CW is different to normal CTF games by making you work harder to obtain your flag if dropped. Considering how small a playing field the CW arena is, this IMO is a godsend (zamorak most likely). Getting to the flag is do-able in 30 seconds, and scoring will keep you busy for a limited amount of time. Flag holding adds variety and makes games closer and more interesting. If you are ahead 5 - 1 and the pther team gets your flag there is a chance for the gap to closen making the game much more tense. I enjoy knowing that not every game will be running back and forth to score and the chase of the flag is fun, be it underground or above. I don't believe it was a bug nor a design fault, i see it as tactic built into the game to further the CTF genre of games.

I like the egg ring too actually Cheap mans ring of stone

Wait, what? Since when is charging through the enemy lines, grabbing the flag, then running for your life and just barely getting back to your base with 2% HP left monotonous? Sounds pretty damn exciting to me. You want to know what's monotonous? Standing around for fifteen minutes waiting for the match to end because you can't get past the ten Barragers guarding the other team's flag holder. Bor-ing. Scoring is not that hard :-k Occasionaly i may have to cade but the general, run, grab flag, run, score, repeat is there. What makes it a challenge is the fact that you know if you die your gonna have to work hard to get it back, instead of just running to there base again and repeating. I'm not surprised you can't get past 10 barragers but the odds of those kinds of teams happening are minimal and even then it's possible with 1 or 2 teammates; Karils, Steel Skin, Melee Protect and range/melee (if you can get to them) the flag holder. It's never impossible.

I just did it :wink:

Flag holding is the only thing preventin cw from becoming monotonous and prevents it just being a case of running back and forth attacking. If one team gets their flag it's not the end of the game. It's not as hard as everyone makes out to get it back, even on busy worlds.

Help and advice ftw :D

The slowing down of the stones helps both teams, slows down the flag takers and the people chasing you. I don't support either, if anything it helps with the other problem of flag holding, preventing them from running away as easy and not allowing them to hop stones.

I think the best reward you can get is the pharoahs sceptre

I'd be so bored in cw if it wasn't for flag holding. The monotony of running back and forth for scoring and killing flag takers is nicely broken up by chasing the flag or protecting your own. CW would be too tedious without it

Runner noob in cw cos i ran away when i had my flag... as oppose to standing there being hit. Karils noob, because arrogant lvl 99 mage splashed 4 times in a row 8-) And of course my favourite, Def Noob :) Can't hit me? Your an attack noob then. Gf.

Abberant Spectres are great for herbs, ankous are the business tho (free barrages anyone?) did like a good killerwatt task when i used to train slayer - 30 nats at once, i thought i was rich :P Cheeky lil gits with both mage and melee

Cbows bad for pking as it's too slow although it does hit nice. I like karils the way it is as i never use full barrows sets so much and crossbows are slow but have effects, so i think are ok atm.

Having a barrager on one team could be considered an unfair advantage,, but thats not cheating. If you can get the flag, then keep it. Either team can do it, neither has more chance of getting it, it#s all dependant on your team.

Dargon - when the enemy gets their flag its possible to get it back. It's equivalent to the 1st baseman holding the ball and the batter coming and beating the [cabbage] out of him for the ball.

IMO, it's a legitimate way to win CW. Both teams are capable of holding their flag and losing it too. It's no easy task to get the flag either, it's not simply a case of barraging the poo outta the flag taker, i score against barragers the whole time. It takes good teamwork, smart cading and a well prepared team.

I really liked this article, i couldn't see how it was going to relate to rs then he said about pures and it all made sense. An enjoyable read and a very interesting view on jagex's views on bug abuse.

I disagree with this decision, as jagex haven't actually confirmed that luring is against the rules. Ethically it's wrong, but there are 2 warnings (As you enter the wilderness and as you trade) so it is the person's own fault. Just my 2 cents on it.
