Runners in Fist of Guthix

[Alg]

Was just in a FoG at the last TET event. At the end I was paired with someone who thought it was 'sad' that I was running away from him, telling me that he just wanted experience, and continued until he finally did kill me (at one point I did fight back, with many 0s on my end)

 

When I hunted him, he tried fighting back, bashing my lack of courage in not fighting him when he was hunting me, while being slaughtered.

 

 

 

You'd think Winning would be better than having balls over the other person, wouldn't you?

[Sinkhan]

w00t. I just noticed this rant has over 1.3 views. : :

 

 

 

And once again, running in FoG is NOT sad.

[Balazeal]

I completely agree! Sides, against most experienced FOG players running won't do much as most know just to use bind, or any similar stopping spell.

Just played a couple matches about 5 minutes ago from this post. Both times i ran and both times people called me sad. When i finally had to hunt them they ran too. Why are runners flaming runners?

Hypocrites.

[RayOxide]

It's a huge area for a reason. Plus, anyone wonder why your run recharges at an epic rate in the centre? ;)

 

 

 

If you cant live with the noobs, ignore 'em. If you cant live with ignoring 100 people at a time, put public on chat, and if they somehow still annoy you, quit :)

[Trollface]

I got flamed by a level 62 for running away from him. Later on, some of his friends start bagging on me for running, and some random level 90 follows me and tells me to get out my mom's basement. :roll:

 

From now on, I've going to turn off all chat besides clan at FOG. I'll just be satisfied with seeing their dead bodies drop to the floor with a 50-26 Blitz+GS special.

[Sinkhan]

Ah yes...where would we be without the ability to turn off chat... :roll:

[xSxqPowerx]

I hate it when people run. And yes, I am impatient.

 

The reason I hate it is because unless they're close to my level, I will still win. They can run all they want, but when they're not near the middle, they don't get many points, and as soon as I land a few hits I can ko them.

 

Then when it's my turn to collect I stand in the middle, letting them hit me, and easily last long enough to gain the points I need to beat someone who runs around the outside for 10 minutes.

 

Therefore, runners waste my time, I like my time.

Your opponent in FoG isn't just there for your convenience.

It would be so much easier if they were.

 

Sorry to sound like a total [wagon] lol, but it's just not fun to chase someone around. I don't go around flaming people or anything though when I play FoG. Infact, I get flamed a lot by opponents.

If it's not fun to chase people around, then why play FoG? I don't like bounty hunter, therefore I don't play. Simple logic. Battle robes are not worth it. Fishing gauntlets are good but for only extremely high lvls. Rc gauntlets and dragonslayer gauntlets are the only things worth it. No one is forcing you to play.

 

Oh, btw, I was against a lvl 138 when I was lvl 113. I beat him by 300 charges and he had 99 range and ARMADYL. He tanked; I ran. I don't care if you can tank and get 900 charges. I can run and get 1500 because I use strategy. If you're playing just for a rank on the high scores, then good luck trying to get to the top. People up there actually run and hide, not tank in the middle.

[Enzock]

I'm a bit between the 2 sides. I always hug obstacles, run around, and generally make a nuisance of myself in order to live as long as possible in games. But when it's the other way around I'm a bit like sxqpower in that my opponents invariably are dead within 1 or 2 hits (barrage + ags spec = bye bye) so it's a bit futile and just drags the game out if my opponents try and run too. I've lost like 3 games of FoG ever, even against people who use the same tactics as me (the guy who's rank 1 does the the same things as me, and I've beaten him in the 2 matches I've been paired with him).

 

 

 

So yeah, hiding is very useful, but it only counteracts levels to a certain degree.

[fenrir321]

but it only counteracts levels to a certain degree.

 

Levels don't matter in Fog (except strength). What doesmatter is the quality of equipment. I will splash on people with karils a heck of a lot more than black dhide. Obviously, a godsword will outdo any other weapon because of the high strength. The dark bow is the best bow besides rune crossbow + dragon bolts.

 

Although even 10 more strength lvls will increase your max by about 3, if you have the same equipment, it comes down to strategy. But yes, someone with ice barrage and ags will almost always kill the lvl 80 running around in red dhide. (Notice that I said almost ;) )

[skillerman84]

Kudos.I agree all the way.

 

:thumbup:

[thefightingmime]

OH MY GOD! :!: !!

 

 

 

someone but me that KNOWS runing is not nooby! *faints*, it must be the end of the world *faints agin*

 

my (at least) 90% win rate is purely from runing and hideing.

 

. the soul point if fog is to be skillfull. honestly anyone with an iQ over 1 knows that being skillfull is the way to go

 

 

 

unfortunately most runescapers have the IQ of a carrot (that seems familiar, if I just ripped you off, I'm sorry)

 

 

 

I run and hide its so fun watching them try to flame me :thumbsup: however I haven't played in a while and seem to have lost all my skills at running/hiding... can I get a few pointers?

[The_Maddest]

I tank at the centre every game and get around 1200-1300 charges and I use around half of the timer of the game. If I ran and hid, I would get 1700+ charges but I would use the full timer of the game. I win in both cases, so I always tank.

 

 

 

My opponent runs and hides but I keep them away from the centre. They get 800-900 charges. They lose.

 

 

 

Tanking gives faster, better, less aggravating games. It's FTW.

That's true, but only if your opponent is quite weak (at least for me.)

 

 

 

PS. Btw, this topic is "Running isn't noob", not "Running vs. Tanking" ;)

Lets see, what do people use to win games?Tactics. And what is running?A tactic. People will use every and all tactics to win a game. So if you don't like runners, don't play the game.

Now im confused...I didnt think he was complaining about runners... :?

[Trollface]

I use a run-hide strategy against most people. I tank in the middle against people level 20 or lower, because I can accumulate 5k charges by then. I use a tank-run strategy against ancienters/ddsers, because if even if you die, you still accumulate some extra charges during the dying animation. However, if you are killed on the outside, you don't get as many charges.

[Soupy17]

I love hiding. They allow me to win most matches with level 1 defence :D

[I_am_Geed]

the point of being the hunted in FoG is to SURVIVE!!!

 

 

 

of course all tactics that keep you alive are liable

[rekhyt]

Hehe. Tried running/stragey today and beat a lvl 99 ( I'm 64) by a large amount. Just shows that brains>brawns
