thunderg_cid Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 I'm a little confused aobut why non-members don't have fletching skills. Non-members can make pretty much all the basic armors (up to rune) but we still can't make things for our ranging abilities. I was just thinking if some fletching skills should be added to us non-paying enjoyers. Do you agree? Live and Learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peronix Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 actually... i think you have a point... F2Pers can runecraft and smith, (for maging and meleeing) but they cannot fletch therefore F2P rangers are at a HUGE disadvantage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonman14 Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Prior to the RS2 launch, I had figured that F2P would receive fletching, the reason being that the other two classes have the ability to make their own supplies. Apparently, Jagex doesn't see the necessity of relying on others to hinder a class' strength on F2P. Or just that they don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dargonhuman Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Wow, that's actually a good argument (better than your other one, anyway), but on the other hand, Rangers are so overpowered as it is that allowing them to make their own equipment would ruin the balance (again). It's all about the checks and balances. --Darg-- Part of the Star Traks network. (^^Clicky!) Irony: An amnesiac rediscovering they have an eidetic memory.

However before JAGEX does this they need to fix the defensive part of the triangle and give f2p mages some real armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 What's next? f2p p2p? Honestly, leave f2p how it is. If you want to fletch, then give JaGex their $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardsfan Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 What's next? f2p p2p? Honestly, leave f2p how it is. If you want to fletch, then give JaGex their $5.exactly. you already have shops that sell all ur stuff, and honestly, f2p ranging equipment isnt all that expensive, so fletching wouldnt be a huge advantage. if we did make things fletchable, you'd just complain that lvling with maple is too slow, or that you need more shops that sell arrowheads or whatever. will they have to give you flax and more spinning wheels, arrowhead shops, more trees, and other stuff that pertains for fletching?

fight2006 Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 i would have to agree there is a real reason why it is ( pay to play)... and (free to play) system going and of course p2p must have always a advantage over f2p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecreature Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 The reasons are, mithing was one of the first skills, and as such was made available to f2p looooong ago.... Secondly, rangers can pick up their arrows, magers cannot pick up their runes, so being able to make runes compensates for such if you wanna make arrows, make d hide body etc, just pay for 1 month, go fletching mad, make enough arrows for several months, jesus, youd think that f2p would give up whining already, ITS FREE, if some one in the street gave you ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã5, you would say excuse, but can i have that in pound coins, or criticise the way that gave it too you, and it would be rude to ask for more, SO QUIT IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathskully Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Yes, I think maybe fletching could be F2P. However, since F2P is only the demo of the game, if they did realese it to be F2P, (doubt it) they'd only make a few items that F2P's could fletch. Eg, F2P can only fletch upto willow, something, etc.. However, since F2P is just a 'demo' of the game, pay a 5$ every month if you want the benifits. Jagex ain't gonna give update to F2Pers, because they're not paying at all. (Yes I am an F2P) My 2 cents.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the matter at hand, it would be nice to be able to fletch as an F2Per, but I agree with the members on this one... If we were to get some fletching abilities, there would be demand for more, and more, and more... The balance of power wouldn't change much when you think about it, but if Jagex caves in on this one, they will start feeling that they have to cave in on other ones and then it would be chaotic...

Tetsuya Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I agree. F2P should get some limited fletching. As well as some maple trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bufoman Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 well I support but only for the arrows and only up to adimint. without makeing bows we wouldent have a great source of mony makeing and without the ability to make rune arrows f2p would still be well behind members in the art of fletching. so all would be balanced and we wouldent have to pay a fourtune for our arrows. therefore rangers would be made more equial to the other classes on f2p worlds.

distilledwill Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 One of the reasons i can see why we dont have f2p fletching is: what use will it have after f2pers reach the highest level to which they can make arrows/bows? For example, if they are allowed up to making addy arrows... what happens after that? Thats why f2pers can make all the way up to rune plates with smithing, because that way each level counts. Each other skill has a use all the way up to 99, but fletching would become pointless after you acquire the level needed to perform the top f2p fletching skill. I entirely support the idea of allowing f2pers to have fletching skills (I posted here a few months ago with the very same ideas!!) it is wrong that mages can make runes, warriors can make armour but rangers are left relying on the p2p market. But there are operational problems that would need to be addressed before the skill could be successfully implemented into f2p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomnameless Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Melle can make weapons and amour. magician can make runes. And rangers can make limited amour. If jagax makes fletching f2p. Then magicians are going to kick and scream till they get more amour. It will just go one and one till a f2p has a fair chance against a p2p in combat.

Bufoman Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 ftp already has an equal chance against p2p in f2p worlds. this is becouse only items that f2p can use can be used in free worlds. sure you can wear mystic or dragon armour but look at your stats and you will see its just costume in free worlds. also mages do need better armour as with protect from magic they can be defeated quite easely buy mele wariors who they are supposed to be a counter unit to. not to mention that protect from magic is level 37 and protect from mele is level 40 somthing which makes it even more in balanced. this is not about f2p not being able to stand up to p2p its about an unequial set of skills. if mele can smith armour and weapons, mages can craft runes, why shouldent rangers be able to make arrows? if there only up to addy they wont affect members in a negitive way. especaly as I have stated that f2p should not be able to make bows. leveling a skill, any skill and knowing that you are only reaching half of its potential as a ftper would in my opinion aculy entice more people to become members than not to, as they know they wont have to spend so much time leveling it up when they have so many other things to do.

Guest redbaron Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 if f2p had fletch then theyd need to introduce magic trees to f2p which means you introduce camelot and members places so on so on.. for f2p which makes it impossible in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The f2p fletching would just need some flax fields somewhere on the map and thats it, as far as i know. Of course, as a f2per with no experience of fletching im slightly biased, but i dont see much argument against f2p except the one i stated above and the typical "YOU DONT PAY SO YOU DONT GET!" mindlessness.
