There have been a lot of "hidden" Castle Wars updates. Do you think they are for better or for worse?

 

Here are some of the Castle Wars updates:

 

-You can't take your own flag in the respawn room-

 

For better or for worse: Definitely for the better. The other team can actually have a chance of getting their flag back.

 

-The door in the respawn room gets changed to an energy barrior-

 

For better or for worse: This is definitely for the better, because previously, only one person could go through the door. It would literally take 3 minutes for everone to get out the door in a crowded Castle Wars game. With the energy barrier, the whole team could get out the respawn room at once.

 

-The bandages get moved to the respawn room

 

For better or for worse: Again, this is for the better. Before, a person with their own flag could just go to the bandage table, grab as many bandages as they wanted, heal, get more, heal, etc. Now, with the bandages being moved to the respawn room, they can no longer do that, which makes them vulnerable to death.

 

-You can no longer skip rocks-

 

For better or for worse: In my opinion, this was a bad idea. Before, I used to skip rocks and lose a lot of people. Crossing rocks was easy and quick. Now, you have to click on each rock before you can cross it. It's annoying and takes longer. I remember before when I had the flag and I would cross the rocks with ease and lose 90% of my people. Now, when I cross rocks with the flag, everyone is right behind me.

 

-When you log out in the waiting room, you get teleported back to the lobby-

 

For better or for worse: Once again, I think this was bad. It was fun when there was like 5 minutes left until the game started, and you logged out for 1 minute to get something to eat, and when you logged in again, you were still in the room. Now, when you log out, you get teleported back to the lobby. I remember when people were saying "Log out!!! Level 121 wants to get on our team!!!!"

 

-When you log out in a Castle Wars game, you lose all the bandages and explosive pots you got-

 

For better or for worse: In my opinion, very bad update. That was pointless. I mean, you already spend the time getting the bandages. Why do you have to lose them when you log out of the game? It was really fun when you could trade the high levels your bandages you got from the game so they could get the flag. But, of course.....

 

-Barricades don't give any more experience-

 

For better or for worse: This is probably one of the top 3 Castle Wars updates I hate the most. Why don't barricades give exp??? They used to, and there was a point in attacking barricades instead of using an explosive pot or tinderbox. But, sadly, Jagex changed it, and you can no longer gain exp for attacking a barricade. Nowadays, you hardly see people attacking barricades to get to the flag (excluding the first 2 minutes of the game). Most people use an explosive potion or tinderbox.

 

-You cannot set up barricades in the waiting room anymore-

 

For better or for worse: Once again, I think this was for the worse. Yes, it kinda was pointless and was wasted space, but it was fun setting up a barricade in the waiting room and seeing 5 people attack it. That was fun, and it made time pass by quicker.

 

-Cats can no longer be taken into the game-

 

For better or for worse: I would have to say neutral. Cats didn't really do anything but follow their owner, and they couldn't attack anyone or be attacked by anyone. However, it was kinda cool to see what kinds of cats people had.

 

-Wall Collapsing can only be done one time- (thanks timmyboy1234 for pointing this out)

 

For better or for worse: I will have to say neutral. Yes, it was good if you had your own flag and your opponents couldn't get to you because you would keep collapsing the wall with your pickaxe everytime they removed some rocks, but it was cheap, especially if the person with the flag was a high level.

 

-You can no longer bring non-combat items into the arena- (thanks Misterxman for pointing this out)

 

For better or for worse: This is a very good update. Before, people would high-alch while playing a game and just stand there. Now, you can't bring any non-combat stuff, which is good, so the players who waste space can't waste space anymore.

 

-You can now range/mage people from the other side of the ladder- (thanks armadillo48 for pointing this out)

 

For better or for worse: Definitely for the better. Now the flagholders that just climb up and down the ladder have a chance to die easier, and it's less annoying.

 

If you have any other "hidden" updates to add, post here!

the only bad one was the rocks, but they need to do something about people just going up and down stairs constantly to avoid death.

all pretty bad updates....me hate them a lot

 

 

 

and some of those well...i've never seen cw like that and i have been cwing for over a year

Generally for the better but i wonder whether the new castle wars jewelerry will have an effect.

Only one I don't like is the rocks, I loved skipping across them and leaving the chasing pack.

>_>

 

 

 

I never knew the bandages were in the store room before

>_>

Wow really? They removed it because when people had there own flag they would just stay here the table and keep getting more.

Only one I don't like is the rocks, I loved skipping across them and leaving the chasing pack.

 

yeah, thats the only bad hidden update in cw that they made

Before, if you collapsed wall with a pic, you kept on collapsing it. Now, you can only do it once.

 

Bad hidden update imo, then again...

think the ones you mentioned are quite good

I just added more "hidden updates". Enjoy!

I basically agree for all except the last one. When you set up barricades in the waiting room, it took away from the max number that the current team playing was allowed to set up. So, if someone set up 10 cades in the zammy waiting room, the zammy team couldnt use any cades.

they changed the log out effect? hmm didn't notice but its definitely for the worse. when i think about it, they really have made more bad ones than good

>_>

3 hit u had a Castle Wars video that showed that. That's how I found out.

What do you mean?

Yeah, I know. But after the game ended, you still can't set up barricades.

Otherwise noobs would set up cades just to get exp all game. Wouldn't be bad exp either especially with barrage.

When you collapsed one of the tunnels underground by mining if you didn't move or equip anything you would continuosly mine the wall meaning if anyone cleared it again you would collapse it again very fast.

 

I can see why they removed it but it was awful handy when holding your own flag.

The update only takes a few more clicks, you will have to get use to it.

That is considered cheating. I'm glad they updated it so the teams can actually be balanced.

I believe there was a glitch earlier that allowed players to venture out of the team lobby area into the main lobby still holding the cwars equipment. It would explain why they updated it.

This was a very very good update in my opinion. No longer will everyone attack the cades for experience. It makes the cade set-uppers mad and generally fellow teammates.

i still wish barricades gave xp! thats the update i truely didnt like

I don't like the hidden updates. As an occasional Castle Wars player (570 tix), I liked knowing the game and its tricks, but I guess changes happen, and even if it makes the game less fun, you have to evolve with it.

I myself liked the no cats update, it got annoying as cats seem to rule over everything, and go to the top of the options list.

They didn't change Castle Wars :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well that was fun :XD:

 

I think 90% of the updates suck pretty much. Back when I used to play CW (:-$) I loved skipping across the rocks with a flag. BEST way to lose people when you had your own teams flag \

all the updates blow :P

ALL of the updates were good imo except for the stones update, only one i think was pointless and had a negative effect, all of the others were useless imo.

>_>

Yeah, I know. But after the game ended, you still can't set up barricades.

 

 

 

Before, when you collapsed the rocks underground, using a picaxe, your character would keep on mining/collapsing the rocks. Now, if you run up and collapse the rocks, your character won't keep on mining. I liked it when I could just set a cade under myself and keep on mining, but I guess that update was for the better.

K, thanks Timmyboy1234 for pointing that out! I added it to the list of "hidden" updates!

i agree with all except the cats update, i hate it when people take their cats everywhere they go... so annoying.

 

 

 

reading that list made me think of all the awesome glitches that people found when CW was released :lol:

 

 

 

but imo they shouldn't have changed the rocks :notalk:
