Do you think Jagex will make NPC diagonal movement work for all NPCs?

 

 

 

Basically, eliminating all safe spots and stuff. Making Jad that much harder?

 

 

 

Just a curious question... but what do you think they'll do...

They all can walk diagonally... (I think?)

they already made it possible for certain npcs, such as jad and other tzhaar monsters and dagganoths if im not mistaken

Wait... didn't they already do that in the fight caves? I mean, people were complaining about it...

 

 

 

Anyway, I think that if it is implemented, we'll just have to find new safespots... They can't go away forever!

Can't Tzhaar monsters already do that?

 

 

 

I'm in Fight Caves right now and read some guides saying that they can and how the safe zone no longer works.

Yeah, they already did this awhile ago. All NPC's that take up at least 2x2 squares now move diagonally.

 

 

 

Something like that I think.

Yes, Jad and Dagganoth Kings all can move diagonally. I beat Jad even when he moved diagonally. So basically, Italy doesn't work if he spawns in the NW corner.

 

 

 

Kinda old news TBH.

Nothing has changed really, safespotting any 2x2 or larger monsters is still as easy as long as your monster blocking concept is still there. :roll:

how come NPC's can move diagonally yet if I try and trade an NPC the other side of a barrier I still walk sideways like a crab, or if an npc moves into the diagonal swuare to me as i click trade or pickpocket it says... I can't reach that.

 

 

 

Or if I attack someone in the wild who's diagonal to me we do a silly little dance. till we face eachother straight on.

 

 

 

Or if I want to run to something that is clearly exactly north west, i'll run north then west then north then west. Ok I can move diiagonally but if it's one square off of the perfect diagonal route, ur screwed, it'll run the worst possible way to that spot. put a couple of trees in the way and you better hope that you're not following anyone becuase they'll be gone, as you stand admiring the tree. (great in the wild).

 

 

 

they should stick to fixing player characters movement b4 they fiddle with NPC's.

 

 

 

It does seem that I walk sideways a lot less than when Rs2 was released, but man i hate it.. I still look like a .....

pretty sure all npcs can move diag....for a while now

That's right, it's a bit harder at the fight caves.

 

I wonder if the graphical update will make it even harder. Since Jads movements might change.

gah......that blows bad.tbh its new to me

I've only had ONE problem with it

 

 

 

The first Troll General doesn't stay in his little cave anymore. And he hits like 40, bad news for any ranger or hallyer who doesn't know about this. XD

A lot of NPCs can already move diagonically. I don't think that the NPCs haven't gone so much harder because of it though. There are still a lot of working safe spots.

I wish they haven't done this. It's quite annoying.

The diagonal update already came back in like June..
