hoffman Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Pure ess. Exactly, that's the only REALLY bad update from Jagex I can think of :-k ... I think it's 'cause if there's one good update, everyone wants the next update to be just as good, if not better. They gotta understand that there will major updates, just as well as minor ones. What is so bad about pure ess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Firzen0 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 all the updates are for kids, they just want to make money. its turning into a kids game and thats the sad truth. if jagex cared anything about makeing the game better they would cut the kiddy crap and put in more of what everyone started this game for- dungeons, monsters, skills, weapons and pvp. jagex just doesn't get the game and are changing it into something that is way off course than what the original players started playing for. they need to rethink RS and see what there doing to it. check out my achievments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver24-7 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Infact, the worst update I can remember is the draynor sewer. Just why...? :P It was part of the release of desert treasure ;) lol They mentioned it separately though because f2pers would be like... huh :o why is this new hole here ? :P Anyways, most of the updates are good, just not as good as we usually expect after reading their BTS. And... when people say an update is BAD they just mean that it wasn't useful for them , that it didn't add any value. They don't mean that those updates make the game actually a worse place to spend your day at :P just a way of expressing themselves, so just remember "bad" or "really bad" means "not adding any value to my way of playing" and "useless to me" I'm Finally 99 mage ^^ (and cooking...) :PSilver24-7 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony8150 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I've liked all the updates until they changed the varrock guards and the goblins. Guards look like chickens and when goblins walk around it looks like they have poop in there pants :ohnoes: I is a genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't have to explain myself. The Gloves from the Achivement Diary can be quite handy, especially if you want to buy an Onyx gem. Some of the new quests have been quite good, like the Dream Mentor. I loved Barbarian Assualt, I still pop down from time to time for a game with friends.

jemathonical Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 The updates are good. The occasional one is a bit bad but we all got over it. People just want to complain.

o_knames Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 If agility were introduced to the game right now, there would be some who would complain about how pointless a skill it is. But if Jagex got rid of agility, it would be the single worst thing that ever happened to the game. In my opinion, any update that adds to the game is good (even though some may be "better' than others). The other kind of updates are those that restrict gameplay in some way (e.g. pure ess, ditch). The restricting updates are almost always introduced for a good reason, even they are annoying.

WARnold Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 The last truly awful update I can think of was fatigue/sleeping in rsc, along with soft and hard rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atestarossa Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 after what i would say is that most updates jagex makes, i actually good.. but it's a part of human nature to search for the perfect, whatever it is, so then people see what is negatively affected by the update, or what could be better, and starts moaning about it i, can of cource see why the people moan, and understand why they do it, but i'm trying to look positive at it yes: rcing might be a little slower, by some seconds per trip, but for the most updates jagex makes, i find it that the positive sides of it outweights the negative.

What is so bad about pure ess? I think people call this a bad update because nobody understood what the hell was going on at the time. It was actually a great update if you understand why. :wink: When they updated the dragon graphics they did a fantastic job. But still people went around saying "Ugh, they ruined dragons". Same with fire giants. It's just a mentality. -.- I did find the way dragons etc. took longer to die a bit irritating, but that's all part of the show I suppose. : Don't follow me.

That's not why I joined runescape :roll: . Now explain how ONE; that's right ONE update was "kiddy". And how could jagex not get the game :lol: (it's their game genious (they can do with it whatever they want with it)). If anyone, YOUR the one that sounds like the kid. [sarcasm] Want want want want. Need need need. I need all those updates so they can rush them out and I can complain about how they aren't any good because they can't read my mind! -.- .

PhaperPlane Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Every update has a purpose, no matter what a handful of players think, someone in the community will have found a purpose for it and enjoy it to their ability. In my view, I like most updates, I can only have a fair say until I have tried them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greedom1 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Yes, there are plenty of "bad" updates. None that completely ruin the game, but there are many that are either: a) not thought out well, or B) conflict with or water-down other previous updates. Some examples of the first: The Barrelchest Anchor. It seemed like Jagex was trying to alleviate the concerns of extremely disparate groups of RS players with this (having the 720k cost, then a coin drop if you lost it in wild... They got around to a compromise eventually.) Gnome minigame with the cooking was completely lost on the majority of the RS population. They completely missed the mark with the game mostly due to the fact that they didn't understand what motivates 90% of the RS population: GP, and leveling skills as fast as possible. Some examples of the second: Many of the "worthless" items that are introduced that are evidently targeted towards extreme low leveled players. A lot of the clothing updates in the last two years reflect this. I completely understand the need to market and tailor the game towards the majority of the players, but honestly very few even want that junky clothing to begin with. Most are dying to get their hands on: 1. full rune, 2. a d med, 3. barrows set, 4. d chain and then on from there. Of course I will contradict myself and say that I love my moonclan hat as I always wear it while farming (which is 90% of the time right now) Also, Jagex has a weird way of "fixing" skills so they are less efficient. When they did a silver update about 2 years ago they removed the "craft -x" option for silver jewelry (gold was always make 5, 10 at the time). They kept it without the "craft-x" for about a year or more until one of the more recent silver crafting updates. At that time, they finally addressed the silver thing as well as making gold jewelry also as "craft-x." (You may hate crafting, but when you've done 25k tiaras like I have, you'll appreciate the lunacy of a simple "update" mixup like that.) Many new quests or updates to skills (like jewellry) are great additions, but elements of them overlap or are redundant with other previous aspects to the game. One of the biggest are when tele locations seem to overlap way too much. This isn't as big of a deal since many like different mage styles and variety is nice. So overall, I suppose it's a bit of a wash... This thread really isn't about arguing the merits of individual updates (I only mentioned some to elaborate). I fully appreciate Jagex's hard work, and I realize I may hate an update that plenty more love. That said, with a little more thought, I'm sure there are a few updates that just simply never should have happened.

vilageidiotx Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Theirs only two updates that ever came out i didn't like, when they changed the world names from city to region, and when they changed the names of alot of objects, turning the simple dds into the more cumbersome ddp++ Some people are like slinkies, normally they are dull, but they always give you a smile when you push them down a flight of stairs.

idontknow4000 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Jagex is great. They know just what we want, well most of us scapers. I crave for more news i was checking every day for the 2 weeks this month were we had no news. Jagex has the updates perfect and now with the garenteed polling system it can get even better. Wait that makes no sence, meh Jagex is great, dont hail saradomin hail Jagex. Or Bob the Jagex cat of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopianflame Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 The updates generally are not all that bad, some are fairly pointless others don't have much staying power, but bad is few and far between. The problem with some poeple is they just want Pauls fabled all 99 stat lever. there are no stupid questions just way too many inquisitive idiots balance is scary to people who like things easy for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brave Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 IMO there is no sucj thing as a bad update. They are all good. That does not mean that I personally like all updates, some ore, IMO, pointless or simply annoying. However, there are people that think those updates I don't like are the best thing ever. Just remember that you can't pleas everyone with a single update, there will always be someone who complains that a particular updae is useless.
