Good Idea to keep us updated on what's going on, shows all the work that go's into the updates and the implings look cool.

 

 

 

I would say the are in order of how high they are first one being the level 17 one and the last red one being the dragon items carrying level 83's :ohnoes:

i have just been gone for 1 hour for exam preparation and look how many nice people have posted on my thread <3:

 

 

 

 

 

anyone still have doubts on the bow not being the best in the game? i sure hope not

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

i guess this rules out the idea of people saying the dark bow is a crossbow :-# =D> :-#

 

 

 

How ould the dark bow have been a crossbow? it was already said to fire dragon ARROWS, and crossbows can NOT fire arrows.

 

 

 

you forgot to look at the thread here in the general forum... it has been suggested that the dark bow was/is a crossbow.

Played since February 2001

fun to see how the dark bow is going to look... funny enough, it was about that i though it would look like :P

 

 

 

special attack did look pretty cool as well :P

idc about this update.. or what the bow looks like.. just how good it is.. and for that i will have to wait.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, you'll just have to go back to Pest Control.

The new bow looks cool... looks just like a real life composite bow that I use. Looking forward to its release now.

 

 

 

Not that interested in the minigame though... I can't be bothered working on the hunting levels now that everywhere is so busy. Oh well.

Retired from RuneScape for as long as possible.

It was a very good read, very interesting and shows how much hard work Jagex have to go through to bring out an update.

Well that bow does look tanking and I cant wait to see one in the final stage (ingame). It also shows a nice looking special which appears to be 3 arrows being shot with flame or another substance around them. So predictions about the special can become more centered. I now have two theories.

 

 

 

Multishot - The bow shoots 3 arrows at 1 target all them inflicting normal damage. This seems over powered.

 

 

 

Split Arrow - The arrow either splits into 3, or 3 arrows are fired, each one hitting a different opponent. This seems more realistic and if it was indeed this, then lurers would get another advantage and possibly a good weapon for multi pking.

Release Day - 28 Weeks Later

 

 

 

I hope these new development diaries help more players understand how difficult it is to implement an update into the game. I am pleased they released these, it will be fun to read them. :D

looks like the special will shoot 3-4 burning arrows at once :-k

 

 

 

great feature.now we dont have to make overblown assumptions

POKEMON = <3 !!!

 

 

 

anyways..

 

 

 

I really like this new diary. Gives the players an inside view on how it really works and lets you learn more about it. Kinda intresting imo.

 

 

 

Side Note: That special to me looks like the consistanct of blood or fire. Perhaps a healing special or range special with magic bonuses. Who knows.

I do like how they used kid's to represent their different deparments. Gives the impression that Jagex are a bunch of immature teens (which is kind of correct).

 

 

 

I do look forward to hopefully hitting 30's with this new bow :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Was talking to Paul in game and he said that they'll be doing other update types (Quests etc.) in the future.

 

 

 

I'd like them to go into more detail at certain things, like deciding the drops etc.

Looks very cool, i like the look of the implings, didnt know jagex put so much thought and time into every update.

Release Day - 28 Weeks Later

Very true, especially when you look at the barbaric rants acusing Jagex of all sorts of things. This disproves a bunch of theories/myths:

 

 

 

- Jagex neglects rangers

 

 

 

This dark bow has been in the making since last year so clearly they don't neglect them.

 

 

 

- Jagex doesn't care about higher lvls

 

 

 

Mentioned a bunch of times how hard it is to get the perfect balance for higher levels. Then there's the time it takes as well which proves they do care about higher lvls but haven't displayed the fruits of their labor yet

 

 

 

- Jagex doesn't test their updates (or various accusations about how they don't think before they update)

 

 

 

They've got a special team that does that for weeks

 

 

 

- Jagex doesn't listen to player's suggestions

 

 

 

Clearly they take some consideration but it's important to notice how long it takes for them to make the update. So, given the time frame, even the good ideas can take a long time to get implemented.

Finally the secrets of goal achieving are revealed! (give my guide a read :^_^: )

That bow looks like a shortbow :D

Don't forget the most likely candidate: fires one shot, drains opponent's run energy #-o
