February 10, 200917 yr I'm really disappointed with this minigame. I think they need to impliment a team-splitting mechanism similar to what they have in SC - this way, one team doesn't completely over-power the other. Now, I'm definently not a sore loser. If I'm fighting against someone 1-on-1, they clearly have the upperhand, and I die, I won't complain. But this minigame is totally unfair. The team with more lower-level players doesn't even stand a chance. The more powerful team instantly takes control of the obelisk, and it pretty much stays that way for the rest of the game. Our team (blue) wasn't even really bothering to try and take over the obelisk after a certain point... Pl0x fix nao. (I do like the 4.2K HP exp per point though :D)
February 10, 200917 yr No new or interesting equipment + a boring game + rewards that arent "worth it" = a short lived mini game. How can you decide that so quickly? Every new thing takes some time to get used to. Thats the reason its boring. There is no time needed to get used to it. Theres really no strategy at all. The stronger team will take the middle and hold it every game, making it impossible to even have the other team compete. If you pick the wrong team, theres nothing you can do to even participate in the objective of the game. In castle wars, you could definitely get the flag captured by using cades and other strategies, even if the sheer man power of your team didnt match the other team. Here you just lose and CANT even participate in the objective if your team is being overpowered. If you want mindless fighting, this game is for you. I admit I hadn't tried the game before I posted. I did now and I actually agree now, but I'll come back in a few weeks, maybe it's better then. (Not a kazilion players at the same time.) When everything's been said and done, more has been said than done.All skills 80+
February 10, 200917 yr I found the new mini game to be quite boring in only the second game I played. I agree with the above poster, I think it needs something similar to Stealing Creation to keep teams fair. I also think the way Zeal is earned needs to be different cause I think the way it currently works is 1 kill of the boss = 1 zeal.

If the enemy holds the obelisk, getting fragments is pointless and attacking the enemy avatar impossible. The only things left to do are defend your avatar or kill random people. You may be able to mitigate how badly you lose, but there's no hope of victory. Now that I've got 5 zeal for a crawling hand pet, I'll be sticking to SC or PC for my minigame fix.
February 10, 200917 yr Does the slayer helmet or black mask have any use in this game? SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.
February 10, 200917 yr Does the slayer helmet or black mask have any use in this game? Not that I know of.
February 10, 200917 yr Does the slayer helmet or black mask have any use in this game? Not that I know of. I guess hype from this new minigame made it rise a little bit. I expected this to happen, so I bought one last night for merchanting reasons. SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.
February 10, 200917 yr Since you are not assigned to kill either of these monsters, why would you think there would be? Though slayers exp for killing other people would be pretty funny. :thumbsup: This website and its contents are copyright © 1999 - 2010 Jagex Ltd.

'Your next task is to kill 199 humans." grab a pair of claws and let's go :mrgreen: 2nd troll to 840+ post count.

February 10, 200917 yr They seemed to have fixed the bug that made the obelisk completely one-sided. The game is still unbalanced to all hell, but the other team now has a chance. Jack of all trades, master of thieving. 259th to 99 thieving. All stats 75+
February 10, 200917 yr I think the requirements for the pets are fair. First off, you have to have the slayer level to kill the monster whose head you want, and second, you have to get lucky enough to get a drop. The Abyssal head is much rarer than a whip. Third, you have to spend a minimum of 9 hours or a maximum of 28 hours in order to get 85 points. It's pretty fair. damn you make this game sound so gay now.
February 10, 200917 yr Maybe we can all agree that all the whining, complaining, and kvetching done between everyone over a game that wasn't even released was all done for and over nothing? Crybaby level 99 slayers. :cry: This website and its contents are copyright © 1999 - 2010 Jagex Ltd.
February 10, 200917 yr Author Same jokes as in PoH sadly enough, all that is is a trophy room on wheels

February 10, 200917 yr Shame on you. You shouldn't make fun out of that guy; he's disabled. Instead of making fun out of him, why don't you give him a free handout instead? SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.
February 10, 200917 yr Author like i said above its the same as the PoH convo with hand :\ I can prove that if you like.
February 10, 200917 yr Mm, I got one in my house and I can't remember the last one I posted. - I'm not proud of everything I've done, but I have no regrets
February 10, 200917 yr Same jokes as in PoH sadly enough, all that is is a trophy room on wheels You are so cynical, lighten up before you turn green :roll:
February 10, 200917 yr Was it just me or was the Tutorial guy slightly odd XD Anyway after giving the game a couple of goes it's okay... nothing amazing but when the hype dies down it might become more tactics related rather than just the masses that it is right now. And I find all the hand jokes pretty funny :lol: I edit for the [Tip.It Times]. I rarely write in [My Blog]. I am an [Ex-Moderator].
February 10, 200917 yr Author Mm, I got one in my house and I can't remember the last one I posted. I'd still like abby demon one as pet once i see it but otherwise I cba camping for a head :\
February 10, 200917 yr I still got 4 abby heads and 3 hands in my bank, also 1 hand and 2 heads in my house.. - I'm not proud of everything I've done, but I have no regrets
