krisc6 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Whilst slaying greaters i tend to use the brimhaven dungeon second floor as my place to slay but oh my god the task is made 4x as hard because of the amount of wild dogs in the vacinity.I cant stand it i just want to slay greater demons without having torun up and down the floor till theyre out of distance to be chasing me.In fact wright now im slaying them and have 3 wild dogs waiting for me to kill this greater bfore they chase me down again :x Oh and dont say"just do watchtower quest and range them" because i cant stand range one bit. thats all i dont really get stressed over runescape but god ive been here an houur and a half slaying greaters and im only halfway through my task :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will H Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I know it's unfortunate, but there are other places to slay greaters in peace. I think if it really did make your job 4x as hard, you may not be doing it in the right place. What about Entrana dungeon? EDIT: Sorry, that was stupid. You can't have weapons there. #-o ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbington Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 They are indeed annoying, but to be honest with you I think they are there for that exact reason..... they needed to have it so that area is not unbalanced for training. I feel though to back you up a bit.... their agressivness needs a bit of toning down, but nothing more that that in view of keeping balanced.

Peronix Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Yeah, I don't mind them being aggressive, but it seems that these NPCs are 5x more aggressive than others. They agro from like 6 squares away, vs. greaters who only start to chase you when you're 2-3 away. It's especially irritating when I click attack on a greater, I instead dance around a bit with the greater..... and a dog attacks me. I say 'omfg' like 5 times every time I do greaters there... and I swear up a storm when bob teles me out after 15 minutes of being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warrager Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I have a question... Do they stop being aggresive after 15 minutes? If not, that really sucks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, that really sucks... not at all.and as others have said they chase you from 6 squares away and theyre boundaries are endless so youve gotta get them jammed behind another npc to slay a demon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solidus_77 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 They are the reason why I hate getting fire giants or greaters as a task. They just make the trip longer! Actually, I have considered using a cannon there, is there a place I can hide? and is it worth it? 76th to reach 99 Construction on 6th of February 2007379th to reach 99 Runecrafting on 4th of November 2007 Finally the secrets of goal achieving are revealed!

Solidus_77 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 i dont think it is worth it to use a cannon And now for the interesting part: why is it not worth it? because if it's considered expensive, that's not a problem for me but if it actually doesn't give exp any faster well then that is a problem 76th to reach 99 Construction on 6th of February 2007379th to reach 99 Runecrafting on 4th of November 2007 Finally the secrets of goal achieving are revealed!

WookieeMania12 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Yeah, we all hate wild dogs. But, it somehow prevents some bronze drag stealers.

Thats because you keep running up and out of their range. You need to stay there and just deal with actually killing them for 15 minutes, then you can have your Greaters in peace.

SirHartlar Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 You're right, they are annoying at first; but when they become unaggressive after 15 minutes or so it is pretty easy to just kill two spawns of greaters without leaving a zone and re-entering it which causes them to become aggressive again.

I think if it really did make your job 4x as hard, you may not be doing it in the right place. What about Entrana dungeon? problem,no weapons on entrana :x #-o Should have thought of that. I guess that it was a design feature that you can't train on Greaters without some kind of restriction: Entrana: No weapons. Wilderness: Wilderness. Ogre Enclave: Range/Magic only (Cannot reach for close combat) Brimhaven: Wild Dogs. With this kind of pattern, its obvious that this was done on purpose and therefore unfortunately it's not going to change. Sorry! ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
