August 31, 200718 yr This is bad....rc for abyss just got screw over x10. I could care less about autoers. No wonder 2 of my friends died.... i dont understand how this makes rc so much harder for abyss, i've never bothered with the skele's and people just leave me alone or i get away, dieing while rc'ing just means your an idot
August 31, 200718 yr I was being attacked by a skele just now when an entangle flew my way, this explains it. :s
August 31, 200718 yr Woot, just what I needed. :cry: Abyss PKers pl0x be extra nice to me with a cherry on top?
August 31, 200718 yr I've got mixed feelings about this. Emotionally, I want to yell and scream and throw a tantrum that I can't (as MidnightHarvester so eloquently put it) use a meatshield when mining. Yet, logically, I can understand and even accept this update as necessary; being able to use meatshields nerfed most of the danger of the Wild. By eliminating that advantage, the Wild is now much riskier, in keeping with the spirit of the Wild. Like flag-holding in Castle Wars, it wasn't exactly cheating, but it wasn't exactly keeping in the spirit or intent of the area. Having said all that, though, this update had better have been made to make the Wild more dangerous, and not simply as an anti-autoer ploy. The former I can come to accept. The latter, though, would be just one more example of Jagex hurting legit players in an overzealous attempt to stop autoers; Pure Essence, anyone? Part of the Star Traks network. (^^Clicky!)

August 31, 200718 yr Is it just that players can override NPC's attacking another player, or can a fight between 2 players now also been overridden by a third player?
August 31, 200718 yr lol its still hard to pk rcers over lvl 105 combat as there tooooo good ( like me :) ) just one click house tele tab before ur teleblock hits and were gone
August 31, 200718 yr Ok just got a reply back from Jagex and they said We are not aware of any bugs with [CONTENT] but if you are sure then we would ask you to send in a Bug Report so that we can start investigating the problem. Please read the information below on how to do this: So unless this is an automated one; this is a bug. I am Teh_King[My dA][My Last.FM][My Twitter]
August 31, 200718 yr This was a bug and is now fixed. EDIT: Not fixed yet? I tried out later back and it didn't work.
August 31, 200718 yr This was a bug and is now fixed. Thanks, can someone confirm this? I would have been one of the stupidest updates for a while. Pro's Easier pking Easier to autos in wildy Cons RC'ing get on in the [male reproductive organs] High level Ores shot up in price Mining becomes harder Crafting become a [female dog] to train Non pking wildy activities become near impossible to do [hide=Drops]Dragon Axe x11Berserker Ring x9Warrior Ring x8SeercullDragon MedDragon Boots x4 - all less then 30 kcGodsword Shard (bandos)Granite Maul x 3Solo only - doesn't include barrows[/hide][hide=Stats][/hide]
August 31, 200718 yr Well that should shut up the moaning noob pkers for a while. NuclearBB: Hmm, what's this?
August 31, 200718 yr Author This was a bug and is now fixed. Nah, I just tested it, it's still occurring.
August 31, 200718 yr That's not good... I hope it is a bug, else I'll have to be more careful then I was in wildy... I like killing green dragons sometimes, and sometimes green dragon atuoers... That's a pitfall for dragon autoer killing :( :( lol
August 31, 200718 yr i honestly remember it being this way for a while. more often than not it would happen when i'm on a coordinate clue in the wild, and a hobgoblin would be attacking me, but once i dig at the right spot the zammy mage would automatically be attacking me and the hobgoblin would stop. nothing new i'd say. The 2nd thing always happened with important NPCs. This inolves other players. In Soviet Russia, glass eats OTers. Alansson Alansson, woo woo woo! Pink owns yes, just like you!GOOOOOOOOOO ALAN! WOO!
August 31, 200718 yr So, can anyone confirm it was a bug ? If it is, then it won't be fixed until the next update at the earliest, though possibly not until much later. Incidentally, the meat shield tactic still works, though slightly differently; the other player can hit you if you're under attack by an NPC, but if another NPC (or player, I presume) hits them, it cancels their attack on you. In other words, if you're letting a Hobgoblin attack you, then a pker attacks you, it cancels the Hobgoblin's attack. This frees the Hobgoblin to attack the pker, which in turn cancels the pker's attack on you until the pker kills the Hobgoblin. So yeah, if it isn't a bug, then we still have a slightly less-effective but still-present meatshield tactic. If it is a bug, well, we'll just have to adjust our strategies for a short while until it's fixed. Either way, all is not lost. Part of the Star Traks network. (^^Clicky!)

August 31, 200718 yr Wilderness rune miners are going to die by the..well..hundreds. The way most of them escape pkers is attack the spiders..

That's good to hear otherwise they might as well just remove the hobgoblin mines and the runite rocks further north all together, as they will become ghost towns (not as if either one of them are jam packed with miners as it is). As long as I can lure the Pker into getting attacked by a hobgoblin and breaking his/her attack on me I guess that's fine as that will give me the time to run south a few steps and glory out if needed. Of course, any mages or rangers deciding to just attack from a safe distance from being attacked will be able to attack you freely...

August 31, 200718 yr This might make rune armor more expensive since less rune miners will try to mine the ores. Pixel sigs by me.Pixel Art
August 31, 200718 yr This will be bad for rcing . I hope they are fixing it soon. Proud owner of fire cape since 9/12/06 99/99fletching99/99 thieving
August 31, 200718 yr I made this suggestion loads of times on the forums. I guess Jagex finally listened 8-)
