Happysniff Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 What I hate the most in RS is when I click on a monster to attack, then my character starts dancing around the monster, and in some cases, the monster dances with me. Then someone comes along and attacks my monster, which I clicked on 15 seconds ago. Then I have to wait for some to respawn. Thats just a little annoyance in everyday slaying. Does anyone else have opinions/thoughts on the player-monster tango? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tishala Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I am sooo glad I am not the only one that despises this so much. This was irritating me so badly yesterday that I just went and did something else for awhile :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladycazzeh Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yup it bugs the hell out of me too. Ive noticed it happens usually with the larger monsters for me, like moss giants and lesser demons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubahman Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 It sometimes annoying me but it's saved my [wagon] so many times in DKs :wink: 99/99 Cooking. 1500+ total level. 96+ Combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yes, it's annoying. Especially if you're in a popular single-combat area where you need to attack the monster first to get it. But, you have to learn to live with it. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Try bringing some runes and hitting it with magic first. Then you don't do any "dancing." It is really annoying though. [bleep] the law, they can eat my dick that's word to Pimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingtygy Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Happens in clan wars baaddddd. You'll click on an enemy, and your character will walk around half the area before he reaches the enemy, and by that time, he's already dead.

Boris5000 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 what i'd do is turn run on, stand a few spaces away, and when it spawns you do a running attack then you do the "dance of death" Luck be a Lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scars Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I think the dancing skill is just around the corner or long overdue. At different levels you can dance with different monsters & gain exp. Imagine the excitement. :XD: Thanks to WithTheQuickness for the sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zierro Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yeah this is annoying. So is trying to talk to an NPC when you're right next to them and it says "You can't reach that". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant_Torti Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yeah this is annoying. So is trying to talk to an NPC when you're right next to them and it says "You can't reach that". I'm glad (in a way) that its not just me. Its soooo freaking annoying. I can remember on innumerate occasions when I was training fishing, "dancing" with Arnold Lydspor, being within 2 spaces of him, dancing then being told "You can't reach that" or similar. Its almost enough to make you throw a hissy fit. "Boy, sure would be nice to have some grenades, don't you think you think?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongo_man Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 i also hate when my character does double-takes when running...

The_Who Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Monster dancing and the dreaded "double take" are products of the flawed pathfinding system that's been around for years. I'd rather Jagex to just take a month and fix all of the little problems like these in the game, rather than pumping out quests and graphics updates all the time...

Felter_Laur Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I was at the flesh crawlers earlier, and it was more like I was waltzing than training strength. It was very irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilray88 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 try dance with the kq, it wont care and still shoots u. and talking about dancing...i find that it's funny when u click for example, "talk to banker", from afar away, you'll do the moonwalk or the step-slide to get there. and don't forget the follow..lots of groovy moves u can do. 6 years of playing since February 27th 2002still a classic'er Wars aren't won by dying for your country, it is won by making the other sons of b*tches die for theirs.period.

davidium Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 yup it really pisses me off when im at metal drags or greater demons on slayer assignments. for metal drags i keep dancing with them and although i try running away a few squares before attacking again it still fails occasionally and a mager conveniently takes over my dragon >.> jagex should really get it fixed...really dumb when i want to kill the monster, the monster wants to kill me and we are dancing around each other. :-w btw although this type of dancing does irritate my nerves, those people running while following each other around rock columns at castle war waiting area do look quite nice to watch lol now that dance is not bad i'll say. maxed out melee on 10/10/08, current goal: 94/99 cookinglife may be unfair, but why can't it be unfair in my favor?my fake plant died because i forgot to pretend to water it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ig we took a month off, about 100,000 kids would be going insane, ranting that the can't play the b3st g4m3 1n th3 w0r1d. And the would all go back to having a normal sleeping schedule, and playing outside, and eating healthier. We wouldn't want that, now would we.

Solidus_77 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 To solo armadyl you need to have good dancing skills. For that reason I hold nothing against the dancing around monsters 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!
