Ahem.... New thing for next year is summoning...

[Verminox]

Dont see how it will work as a skill because if you summon a dog for example, it will be summoned for a period of time and if you cant summon anything else it will take a looooong time to get xp and level up. As you will have to wait for it to disappear before you can summon again. But im sure they have worked it out somehow.

[jedislayer14]

I really hope they have a "Summon Noob" spell, his name would be "Pker198482" or something like that and he has full bronze on, he will do tasks for you at very low cost because he doesn't know any better and he has several catch phrases if you kick him, such as "Phr33 St00f Pl0x?" or "0HIMG33 G1V3 M3 P33HAT!!1"

 

 

 

rofl, i like the part about kicking them :lol:

[Dazzuh]

wow, i bit disapointed by the "big" update but meh i just hope they update the servers to cope with this new lag

 

 

 

I know, Jagex never said "Possibly the biggest update since RS2!!" before for new Skills, it's either gonna be a skill with many varieties and possibilities, a complete let-down or maybe it's not even what Jagex were talking about when they previously said about something huge on the horizon...

 

 

 

Let's wait and see. :

 

 

 

I'm looking forward to it, just hoping it won't be a let down. I like Hunter quite a bit though, it's just low on my priorities for training. :P

Rofl, i really hope the skill will be more complex and have more activities than that. Otherwise the Rants board might get system failure.

Everything in the Dev diary implies to me that this is the big update they were referring to, including Jan 2008 release.

 

 

 

It's been long enough coming, so it better be good ... not that it matters for little old me :cry:.

[Triforceelf]

Dude, I cannot believe they are actually making this. Of course, now people are going to whine about it. Sigh. I hope its good, but if not meh.

[malo2]

SPAM? u need to have a topic on the thread you cant just tell them to go and look at something then post!

i forgot you were incharge of the forum posting guidelines.

 

 

 

anyway, I'm suddenly wanting to play again, I have been getting bored lately.

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't..... -.-

 

 

 

 

 

Meh, to me this is not at all interesting I was hoping for an improvement to the game....(graphics wise OR In the form of weather, night, day etc)

[meili]

 

 

 

Fair enough, it's pretty hard to tell if peopel are being sarcastic or not since it's the internet.

 

 

 

They should have released it for Christmas not New Year's, that way all the lil kids can ask their mommies and daddies for membership as a Christmas present. At only $5 a month it's cheaper than most presents. :)

 

 

 

P.S. Mmmm petscape, I like it. They could make it for 6-13 year olds that way RS could be reserved for older people.

[galindito]

I really do hope that it will help out skills in a way that we will use. Whatever happens, it will be cool. :)

[Returned3]

Well to be frank, I'm not really excited about this update.

 

I saw many threads about summoning in the RSOF and i never really thought that it would be a good skill. As for the big update, I never really expecting something like skills to be it. No offense to those that are excited, but i really hope Jagex proves me wrong.

 

 

 

Ps. If wrestling skill was released, I'd be the happiest person in my country

[winner8212]

Summoning is way kewl. I hope they release it earlier, as in the start of January instead of the later parts. And I hope that IT'S NOT BADLY BUGGED TOO. Every new skills is bound to have a bug lol.

[thrust]

so we finally get pokemons XD

[Chumley]

Can anyone think of any existing items that could be used in the new skill, that it would be sensible to stock up on in advance? For example, the price of logs went up as construction was released, and those that had stocked up in advance were laughing.

[calum12]

w000000000000000t!!!!!! can't wait!!!!!!!!!

[Ghost-Knigth]

Quite smart of Jagex releasing the summoning news now while the whole Duel-update is going on. Taking the focus away.

 

 

 

But it seems like Jagex have taking there time - for sure! - on this skill. More than a year. So, it's looking quite good.

 

 

 

And I can't stop laughing a bit of all those people that through the days have claimed: JAGEX WILL NEVER ADD SUMMONING TO RUNESCAPE

 

... uuuups :P

[Xx_Flare_xX]

It sounds good, I want that spirit wolf :

[Jabuli]

Remember NOT to hold your breath while waiting for this update.

 

 

 

At least if any of the earlier updates for this and other years have disappointed you.

 

 

 

Just hope they'll manage to make it bearable!

[jimbob9999]

Couple of things:

 

 

 

Jagex said basically it would lag the hell out of the servers if everyone had a summoned monster following them at the same time, so I'm guessing theres a time limit for summons.

 

Also Jagex said they were creating a 'life' rune for RSC but never released it, I think its safe to say this rune will be used in conjunction with existing runes for summoning, i.e: summon rabbit - 2 life runes 10 air runes, duration 30 seconds.

 

Lastly THANKS JAGEX some of us like, you know, suspense. STOP TELLING US EVERYTHING 2 MONTHS BEFORE WE'RE GOING TO SEE IT DAMN IT.

 

 

 

Edit: This is going to be a P2P update only I think(it would be a massive surprise if it wasn't).

 

 

 

Or perhaps you won't see other peoples summoned pets, just like you don't see other peoples farming patches.

 

 

 

Might be awkward how they do pvp combat with pets in this way, my guess is you can't get your pets to aid you in pvp combat, as it's already possible to one hit most players.

[baron8000]

Well I'll be damned, I never thought I'd see the day - this could be a great development.

 

 

 

What's the odds on it coming out the week I go back to university.

[warren211]

Of course, everyone's already ranting. They don't know the first thing aboutn the skill besides it involves animals, and already there's "omg summoning sucks" etc. Everyone said hunting was a "half-baked idea". Everyone thinks that since there was only a few month difference after con when hunting came out, tht must mean that was how long developing was. well now, we know they spent an even longer time on hunter then they did with con and slayer, and summoning took even longer!

[AdamRexic]

Hmm this new update skill still has unsolved parts to it. I very much want to know more about this skill. Hopefully this new skill completely covers over the dissapointment of the whole "Staking" crisis.

Make a "destroy" or "kill" option to destroy the thing u have summoned and then summon it again... kinda like construction destroy and then build
