jagex made "THE ULTIMATE WEAPON"

 

 

 

I feel like they dug themselves into a hole

Say hello to the lava whip which requires 90 attack and defense! This weapon is so powerful you can 1 hit Tz tok Jad with it!

 

 

 

Sorry a little off topic, but yes theres will be more deadly weapon in rune scape

The god sword will be the best weapon in rs, its a sword that can kill a god, all the gods are fighting over it, if there was a better weapon the godwars would have been focusing on it instead.

Certainly not! Im sure there will be better 1 handed weapons to come.

 

 

 

+1

 

+ 2

 

 

 

+3 we haven't got anything to say we just want to get are post count higher!

 

 

 

But i think the 2 hp's to 1 lvl would be nice :

 

+4 :D

 

 

 

+5 :lol:

 

 

 

I guess they willbut if they do i hope the don't ruin PvP, at least it doesn't effect f2p : so +6

+7 No way Jagex will stop making better 1 handed weapons.

 

 

 

+8 and if they release dual weilding bye bye godsword :lol:

Just bring out some new, hardish to catch/hard location to get to fish. We have a bit of room for new fish at the high end of fishing levels. With better food, it means hits can be recovered easier and these massive specs become easier to survive, meaning a new weapon.

 

 

 

However, I've got to agree, they have gone into a hole. By deeming the 'Godsword' as something Gods fought over and is extremely powerful, it is hard to come up with a new weapon with a storyline to it because the Godsword now is what the Gods fought over.

I can see them making a weapon equivalent to the whip, but it can only train strength and defense, since the current whip does not offer a strength training option. It wouldn't be some "super weapon" that would destroy the whip, since it would not have an accurate or controlled option per say, but it would definitely fill that strength training gap the whip made.

The slayer skill was released in January of 2005, and the whip has been unchallenged as the best weapon until now. It was starting to get close to 3 years. I'm not saying it can't happen someday, but don't hold your breath.

They will probably come out with a 1 handed weapon that hits pretty high but with that they need higher healing food.

I bet the dragonkin will drop some nice new powerfull items :)

The only way they can expand is horizontally and not vertically. Sure they can create a weapon/armor class for 85+, but that would unbalance the game beyond the current sickly proportions.

 

 

 

From what I see the only direction they can go to is making armor/weapons play more on the 3 attack styles, add more complex attacks (eg Ancients does a lot more than just damage), change specials, some anti-prayer mechanism, higher level (defensive) prayers, more unique items like DFS, that has a variety of good uses other than just defense.

+1.

 

 

 

I think that although jagex appear to have dug themselves into a hole, they have actually ended up in a powerful position. By creating 'The Ultimate Sword', they will not have an incentive to create a better melee weapon. Instead we may start to see a more 3D combat system. Jagex can now try to sort out the combat triangle, and perhaps add more complexity, which sseli has provided plenty of examples of.

With the current way the hitpoint system works no. Whip can hit almost 50 which is a 2 hit kill. (granted that would be extremely lucky but never the less)

 

 

 

Making it so hitpoints give two per lvl would screw up food and make it almost impossible to KO.

 

 

 

The only possible way I see to make mroe powerful weapons with the current system would be to make armor that LIMITS max hits.

this weapon isn't even much better than the whip.

 

 

 

What we need is a weapon the requires around 85-95 attack, and 80-95str. You would need a 3 party quest series that requires 60+ in multiple skills and requires you to kill a level 400 boss monster. After you do this, you will have to kill a level 150 or so demon that rotates between mele, ranged, and magic protect prayer. Your protect prayers will only be a 75% protection when fighting this monster. The monster would drop a cirtificate as a 50% drop (they cirtificates are stackable btw). You will need to get a certain amount of certificates (4*[you cb lvl]-150). That means you need 250 cirtificates at lvl 100, 290 cirtificates at lvl 110, and 350 at lvl 125. After you have the required amount of certificates, you trade some person at the end of the quest. You show him the certificates, and he then tells you he needs 6 shards to make the weapon. He then tells you there are 6 monsters you must kill (all of which are in the 220-280 range). The monsters would have level 70 healers that hit through prayer. Once you finish killing all the monsters, you go back to the person, who then takes all 6 shards, your cirtificates, and then charges you an additional 7million gp. You come back after 5 hours, and he will have your sword.

 

 

 

Thats quite a nice idea imo. Challenge ftw?

nah Jagex is on fire with these updates why stop now :o

omg im up to +7 :mrgreen:

 

I kinda wanna elaborate on hit tho. Its not really even a skill, its just a number that determines if your alive or dead. It would be nice if jagex made it into a skill of sorts. Like you hits level determines if a dds spec can ko you or whatever. This would be great because it would allow Jagex to continue to make increasingly more powerful weapons, without over doing it.

 

Thoughts?

 

 

 

+1 :lol:

Um.. :-k

 

There is this skill called "Defence". It determines how hard you get hit on, and thus how powerful specs hit on you.

 

 

 

However there is the idea of a food which heals % of health, simiar to sara brews, but without reducing stats and isnt in potion form. Something like this would be more useful for high HP levels, but low levels, it wont heal massive ammounts.

 

 

 

Thats why im not a Jagex developer. :roll: Does anyone have any thoughts on how hit points can become a skill?

The godsword is possibly the most powerful weapon in existence, and the last almighty battle of the god wars that created the Wilderness was fought over it. It has a decent attack rate and a hefty Strength bonus, but it can also unleash four different special attacks: entirely appropriate for a weapon that is rumoured to be capable of killing a god!

 

 

 

This quote makes me believe that the Godsword will remain as the most powerful weapon in the game. However that doesn't mean that there won't be any better weapons released. It is quite possible that Jagex may decide to make a weapon with better accuracy and str bonuses than the whip (such as 85slash, 85str) as well as it being around the same speed.

 

I quoted the same thing, but nobody seems to care. It's annoying how everyone conveniently 'assumes' there'll be more powerful weapons, and one handed no less! Instead everyone is like "+5 duhh". Why no one thinks Jagex may, just may, have put the ultimate max for weapons, is beyond me. :evil:

 

 

 

well i would just like to end this worthless part of the argument. yes it is true that the sword has the potential to kill a god, and that the god wars were fought over the weapon. But they ENDED what are the gods doing now? What are they fighting over now?

Perhaps they could add a new sort of defense system, armor, skill whatever where say if someone hit a 40 it would automatically decrease that hit to a 35.

 

 

 

Or they could be working on more high level skill updates instead of combat? :-$

nah Jagex is on fire with these updates why stop now :o

 

 

 

Most Excellent \

They should make high-hitting weapons like the Godsword work differently in the Wilderness.

 

 

 

i agree

They never ended, learn to read.

Okay read the god wars update. They completely refer to the wars in the past tense the entire time.

whoops... double post:oops:

Uh...I don't know where you got the "godswords can kill gods" thing, since I thought the RS gods are immortal to an extent.

 

If you read my post or the person I quoted any better, we both referred to a certain statement made by Jagex on the Godsword, where it was clearly said that the godsword was "the most powerful weapon to every draw blood in runescape".

 

What annoyed me is how few people recognized the "MOST POWERFUL WEAPON" part. I mean, cmon, it's not that hard to understand.

this weapon isn't even much better than the whip.

Essentially, this means you have to kill this monster 700 times?!?!?!?!?!? ever gonna happen, that's a perfect example of an impossible challenge. It would never be released, and the weapon would have to be capable of onehitting everything in the whole damn game to be worth that, in which case it would simply be unbalancing and the game would crash.

 

Why no one thinks Jagex may, just may, have put the ultimate max for weapons, is beyond me. :evil:

 

I think they have. There's no way they can come ot with a more powerful weapon, and they might nerf this one soon on the basis of it becoming unbalancing.

 

 

 

I jst realized how flamed they'd be by all the people who spent 200m on this weapon if they nerfed it. There'd be a mass qitting, and riots like never before seen. Wowzers.
