Moneyna Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 It's already hard enough to hit through full rune with your rune scimitar. You could argue that the few extra pts won't make a difference (say +5 more in all defence stats) but then again, what would be the point? Rune is a good armour as it is. It is still used pretty often in p2p. In fact, rune armour is way too cheap for what it is. (I know, barrows is also way too cheap for what it is, but that is another discussion) I agree with you on this one , and about the hitting your very correct since you won't be that lucky even with 99 att vs 99 def in f2p rune (that's why high levels used to / still use to do no arming so they can ACTUALLY hit.) :) Sweetness in life - Friends Bad Friends - sourness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3hitm4g3u Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 How about PAY. Why would Jagex need to show more respect to F2P? You are given the opportunity to play a game for FREE, and if you want more, you'll need to pay. What exactly is wrong with that? And no, F2P does not "deserve" new armour. They don't "deserve" anything. Doesn't mean Jagex can't give F2P updates. Sure they can. Wouldn't bother me at all aswell. But there's no such thing as "deserving". That's just greed. Next to that, due to the fact that F2P is a demo, it's highly unlikely that F2P will get better armour, ever. Jagex would say you'd need to pay in order to access better armour. And can't really blame them for that. F2P is NOT a demo. It's a whole game just like P2P. P2P is just an expansion pack of F2P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodkay Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 If F2P is a whole game why would it have blockades to parts of the game? He's quoting what the new CEO said about F2P. Shall I find the post and QFT? Naw...I'll just let you guys find it. Apparently, most of Jagex thinks of F2P as the original game and a full game in itself, while all you paying people are simply getting an expansion. They've already said they're going to be paying EVEN MORE attention to F2P, so you can all quit whining that "F2P gets this" and "They don't have to pay for that". Deal. Aaaanyways, back on topic. I seriously doubt F2P would get any new strong armor, it would throw off what little balance there is to the combat triangle. Powering up all three combat way may even it out, though.

jakerules208 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 nope melle armor in f2p can max out near 220 def bonuses. And with 40-50 attk bonuses that takes up alot of damage. So youll be attking with your rune scimmy hit 0-0-0-6-0-19-0 and they have already eaten back to full hp. Rune armor is to good for its level requirments [hide=stats][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quelmotz Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 This is the dumbest thread ever. Before you flame me, I'm f2p so don't say f2p also generates profit from adverts. f2p melee already has like WTH 7 kinds of armor and 1 kind of degrading armor. f2p ranged? Like 2-3 kinds. f2p mage? WTH NOT EVEN A FULL SET OF ARMOR AND YOU'RE ASKING FOR MORE MELEE ARMOR?!?! MAKE MELEE MORE OVERPOWERED. As if it isn't overpowered already. Click here for an awesome suggestion to revive smithing!

sadukar123 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Range owns in F2P. With rune+scimitar, I can barely kill a level 86 without taking heavy damage. With Range I can kill him in matter of seconds. Off topic: Why complain about whip if you are f2p?

LatinII Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Rune armour is just fine the way it is. It's hard enough to hit through it with a rune scimitar/battleaxe, so if Jagex would make armour that's even stronger then rune for F2P, you'd see blue dots all the time! And you see enough of those already on a person wearing full rune. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quelmotz Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 As I already stated, why don't you shut this thread down and go make one on improving mage armor and weapons. Click here for an awesome suggestion to revive smithing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakerules208 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 because there are thousands of improving mage topics floating around out there anyway. The biggest problem is a f2per will wear full rune and rune scimmy, the scimmy will tear through dhide or mage robes. while the scimmy vs full rune is still inecective. people need to realize rune armor is WAY to overpowered for its level.

hihihi727 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 hmm probably not melee armour, unless its granite or something but up to rune arrows/yew shortbow for range while mage gets splitbark and wave/snare. I'm p2p but i still think f2p needs to updated... we get so much updates its not funny yet if f2p gets an update like explorers ring everyone starts complaining. Guys, you don't want me to start on how much more p2p has than f2p. They might not pay, but they are all potential customers. Therefore updating f2p isn't a "waste of time" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quelmotz Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Can't you see the point that mage and ranged don't even have enough armor and weps and you want melee to be updated? That's why I'm saying this thread is rubbish. And it isn't even debatable. Give mage or even range some armor before even thinking about giving melee new armor. I know range in f2p is powerful enough but look: 7 armor vs 2-3 armor??? Click here for an awesome suggestion to revive smithing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzerlord Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 f2p certainly doesn't need more melee armor Ranged? Yes. Give the kids their blue hides. why the hell not? It's [bleep]e prices for blue trimmed and gold trimmed which are staggering -.- Magic? Give them the waves and snare. 16 damage max is a fail. 5 second bind is a superfail "Don't push me; what's the hurry?" - Imogen Heap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quelmotz Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Its not extremely important that f2p ranged gets new armor, but f2p mage definitely needs some more. Click here for an awesome suggestion to revive smithing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slash11223 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 okay. respect for f2p? is that a joke? they get to play the game. enough said. Also, why should they get more armor? it's not like they need it...the hardest thing are the greater demons. rune works fine against them........and if they could, pking would become impossible. Which would lead to non-mems complaining about how they need new weapons. Finally, are we all ignoring development/server costs? I pay my membership to play the game. You f2pers don't. It's not cheap to run such a huge server. And i would resent paying my membership costs for f2p to get an update. I don't mind if they get to join in on updates that members get....but an update aimed specifically for f2p? is that a joke? sorry, I don't buy it.

F2p is a game as well, if its imbalanced, they should balance it, and technically every f2p item is a p2p item as well =S. O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
