SomeWelshGuy Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 No front page announcement yet, but Jagex have posted this on the forum: Today, we have made a few changes to the Great Orb Project minigame: -You are now able to sign up for the minigame with any of the wizard apprentices -You can now sign up to whichever team currently has the least players -If a game lacks enough players it will instantly finish -Reward tokens will be given whether you win, lose or draw, based upon how well you've done -A number of useful phrases have been added to Quick Chat for this minigame Elriss will now also accept tiaras and staves as proof that you own the relevant Runecrafting talismans. We have also added some functionality to the run energy icon located next to the minimap. Clicking on this icon will now toggle your run energy on or off in the same way as the 'Run' button in the Options panel of the interface does. The button in the Options panel is still there, should you prefer, as is the ability to press CTRL + mouse-click to run. In other news: -The look of the dwarf multicannon in RuneScape High Detail has been improved -The Skillcape of Hitpoints and some other capes and items have been fixed Taken from the sticky in the RSOF: http://forum.[Please Use QuickFind Code].ws?15,16,391,57457906 Retired Tip.It Crew Mapper.

Ezz Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Lol, it's just a bug fix, these happen every few days. Wait until this week's update comes and then you can post a thread called "this weeks update". It will probably be the firemaking minigame :P [insert birds flying in a circle here]Yes, that sig was annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairness Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 It's a nice thing that you cannot sign in to an overly stacked as it is team now, but will the teams be necessarily balanced now? I didn't know that Ctrl+click=run, anyways. :shock: You're being watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spuriousmonkey Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 -Reward tokens will be given whether you win, lose or draw, based upon how well you've done This is nice though. I have been in several games where you just ended up 1 orb below the winner and in the end you got nothing. Maybe now you can get a decent award if you just work hard on it. It would be nice to hear from someone who played under the new conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemurian Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 ARRGH! He accepts Tiaras AFTER I've gone through all the trouble with buying Talismans with Tokens?! But I like that they've added that Run-toggle. Owner of Quest Cape since 11/9/2007 23:30! Working my butt off to get it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat666 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Great update. 1. Run on main screen is so useful. 2. Tiaras can now be used, yay! Thank god I didn't actually get another death talisman the old way. 3. Most importantly though you get tokens even if your team lose in GOP. Why this wasn't the case anyway is beyond me as it gives the losing team an incentive to play on. Something like 5 tokens per orb then an extra 25 tokens if you draw, or 50 if you win was a suggestion I made with a few friends. Trust the Gene Genie!

Kietaro1 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Has anyone had a chance to check out the way the rewards work now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mylez Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Isn't it still possible for the Firemaking minigame to come out this week though? Or are all weekly updates on Monday/Tuesday? lol Woot 100 posts :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kietaro1 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 While it is still possible, I would not expect it too much. With the wording on the ROF being that it is "this week's update" I really do not see us getting the Firemaking minigame this week. Here is to hoping though.
