Well, to me the concept of a skill based solely on sailing seems pretty uninteresting. Now, if you take it one step further and make the skill "Piracy," then you have my interest.

 

 

 

I could imagine going out on raids on the oceans, on boats filled with npcs and various kinds of treasure, that you need to collect and take back to a pirate master. Sort of like slayer, but with looting and accomplishing certain pirate-ish tasks.

 

 

 

There could be different outifts that you can access at higher levels, and that affect your proficiency at pirating... similar to how hunting gear outfits work. You could start with a sort of shipmate type outfit, then work your way up to captain's clothing. And perhaps at higher levels you can assemble different/more powerful types of cannons to help with overtaking other ships.

 

 

 

And while we're at it, why not have different and bigger/better ships available to you at high levels? Imagine being level 99 Piracy and have a galleon you can keep docked at different ports around RuneScape of your choice, that provide free travel to other ports, and can be used on piracy raids that a pirate master gives you. And if it gets damaged, say you need to spend money (or pirate loot) to get it repaired.

 

 

 

Ah, anyway, just a thought...

So, you just ripped off my post on the whole piracy thing?

[3hitm4g3u]

oh i hope to zamorak its not sailing...

[JustAGamer]

Sailing would be dangerous..

 

 

"Just A Gamer, I really need your help!"

 

 

 

"I'll take you back where I found you and give you your reward!"

 

"Your boat moved away while you were in the random event."

 

"You fall into the water"

 

"You feel like you are drowning"

 

"Oh dear, you are dead"

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quite honestly, I can see ship battles as a minigame. Firing cannons at the other ships, using mith grapples to swing over to the enemy ship, etc.

 

 

 

Jagex stated in a forum post that sailing was not in development...what...4 months ago? Something like that, back when Qwertysumo's YT vid came out and the hype started. If they've clobbered an entire skill together in that short a time, I'm not entirely sure it would be worth training in the first place.

[Kilo]

Sailing! nah, probably something else. Sailing seems like an addition to construction more than anything.

[Psycho_Robot]

I don't think that sailing is in development, or that Jagex ever plans to develop it. I just think the people who say it COULDN'T be developed or who say if it ever WERE developed that it would be a terrible skill are ignorant and narrow-minded.

[deathdrow]

[hide=]

I don't see how sailing would work.

 

 

 

Seriously, how would you train sailing to 99? On sea agility courses? What would 99 give? A slightly faster boat?

 

sounds like it would take forever, and like there wouldn't be much point to it.

 

i can't imagine how you'd get exp for sailing.

 

 

 

Would you have imagined that you'd train prayer buy burying bones?

 

 

 

Would you have imagined that you'd WOULDN'T train summoning by summoning monsters?

 

 

 

Just because you can't imagine how it would work doesn't mean you should dismiss it. That's why you don't work for Jagex. Jagex has a team that does nothing but think about creative solutions to these kinds of problems. I'm sure they'd think of something.

 

 

 

excactly. All these narrow minded idiots don't realize that there is ALOT in runescape that...doesn't make sense. Jagex MAKES things work

 

 

 

What pisses me off though is that sailing DOES have a lot of potential, and I think Jagex really can see that, as they do with most of their updates.

[/hide]

 

I wasn't saying that it didn't have potential, I was just saying I can't see how it would work as a skill. But, you're right about jagex making things work.

 

 

 

I don't think that sailing is in development, or that Jagex ever plans to develop it. I just think the people who say it COULDN'T be developed or who say if it ever WERE developed that it would be a terrible skill are ignorant and narrow-minded.

 

And saying you can't see how the skill would work, Isn't being ignorant and narrow minded, It's saying that you can't picture how the skill would be done, theres a big difference.

oh man, my bad. I wrote that past midnight after being gone all night and didn't even bother reading any of the 3 pages of posts :oops:

 

 

 

if you want the credit, it's all yours... i could care less

[Randox]

I once saw a suggestion for exploration. Looked kinda cool, and would probably be alot of fun. The issue I had was that its based on the slayer skill, as in tasks. So the skill would be really fun...until you started reepeating tasks. At that point the skill would pretty much blow. The skill I would wan't? Automotive Engineering (cars ftw!). Just kidding. That would be cool for all of an hour.

 

 

 

The way the mod phrased that post "...which skill we'll be adding..." as opposed to 'which skill we would be adding' suggests that a skill is on the way. And the reference to clues means they already exist. I do wonder is this will have to do with the museum. That would be nice, though it would make the exploration skill all the more likely. Maybe the museum will just open up a new area of the map (thats what I hope for).

 

 

 

Whatever the skill may be, it will work, Jagex does make sure of that. Even the skills I hate do work, I just don't like them. I wonder if it might be a simple skill. I doubt it. Jagex has never added a simple skill to the game, the only ones that are simple are some of the original skills. I consider the most simple skill to be firemaking (perhaps HP is simpler, but personaly I don't train HP it just levels up every once in a while). Resorce gathering skills like fishing and woodcutting are also quite simple (firemaking is simpler because it can be done just about anyplace). I don't really wan't a new skill that rivals such skills as consruction, summoning, and farming in complexity, and I most certainly do not want another freaking money sink skill (I don't care if summoning can make money, I don't want another burden on my limated capital)

[obfuscator]

I just hope it isn't sailing.

[Outsanity]

I'm not going to say the obvious here, but I will be having a nice little party in my head when the next skill is released and all the haters were wrong. :)

I'd rather see Archeology than Sailing.

 

But on the other hand I'd rather have no new skill.

[TheWilch]

Archeology doesnt fit in anywhere besides kudo's island. we already know the history of rs... like hi bones = prayer anyways?

 

 

 

 

 

the only upside i see to ... being able to sail (not a skill) is maybe we could have a...dare i say it... FISHING UPDATE =P~

 

 

 

but with archeology maybe we could still have an upside to prayer? still -> =P~

 

 

 

id like to see no new skills tbh. maybe a way to work two or three at a time would be great. as for the guys screaming ninja ninja about the eastern lands. lets take a look at the people from the east already. they seems to be two combat classes combined (warriors guild MAGE+WARRIOR) id like to see more of a tech. not a skill.

 

 

 

 

 

post hi i read if you really did. (im giving up hope here)

 

 

 

 

 

but in all honesty i have no hopes in general for "new skills" in rs. i basically hated all the rs2 skills anyways besides slayer and even its just a form of melee training. summoning is nothing to me but more inv. space and rc was just a way cool idea.

 

 

 

yar flame away and raise your priate lvl +1.

Ignorance is bliss? Explain to me how that makes me ignorant.

 

 

 

wilcher these are just ideas and a lot closer in clues than sailing. After all jagex had said we might hear more about the eastern lands in 2009. Though last I checked east didn't just mean Asia.

[Obtaurian]

Ever since half a year before Construction or so it has been like this with every skill.

 

 

 

Before Construction came out everyone was like "OMG carpentry!!!!", "Carpentry will never come out...", etc

 

Before Hunter came out everyone was like "OMG hunter!!!!, "Hunter will never come out...", etc.

 

Before Summoning came out (or was announced in the diaries) everyone was like "OMG summoning!!!!", "Summoning will never come out...", etc.

 

 

 

And now it's the same thing with sailing :P

 

 

 

During the carpentry times I didn't really know what to think, and I didn't really care much, either it did or it didn't. But it sounded appealing anyways.

 

 

 

During the hunter times I thought the people's claims were a bit far fetched, I mean they based their claims on that there were new squirrels north of Falador... But I still didn't say "Hunting will never come out..." because I saw what had happened with Carpentry.

 

 

 

During the Summoning times I was pretty into Summoning coming out :D there was so much overwhelming evidence and the skill right next to it in that 2004 promise had already come out, so I was 90% sure that it would come out. And still, even though there was a lot of evidence for it coming out (teasers in Tarn's Diary etc.) people said "Summoning will never come out...".

 

 

 

Now during these sailing times I personally laugh at the people who say "Sailing is never coming out...", because I've already seen the same thing happen in the past 3 times now, and I really can't ignore that :P But I don't really know what I think of sailing myself, I'm not into sailing, thinking it will come out or anything, but I'm not into being all anti-sailing either. I prefer being open minded.

 

 

 

Exactly how I feel.

[ScottSza]

To be honest I think jagex wil retire this year and leave the game open source. Or give us a skill like unicorn riding?

Many people have come up with the idea of Piracy, thinking you are the only one is just selfish.

[TheWilch]

ok i see then. i definatly agree that the clues lean more towards archeology then they are leaning towards sailing. if it was a dead choice between the two id prefer archeology (70 pray rofl)

I don't think i'm the only one. That'd be like me saying I was the only one to come up with a clan wars arena; I wasn't, it just happened to be a clan wars arena exactly like my suggestion that made it ingame. My post just happened to be similar and was only a few posts up. Sorry if I came off as an [wagon].

[Beethovens29]

 

then here is the jagex mod reply:

 

 

 

Hi Titan Scape. Which skill do you think we'll add? Have you seen any clues which suggest that we're working on a specific skill? Happy gaming :D .

 

 

 

umm...correct me if I'm wrong, but the way i see it, it can be a rhetorical sarcastic question. "Have you seen...we're working on a specific skill?" well, take into question that the answer to that question can as well be "No". Anything we see could lead us to *think* its a clue to something. Whether it be that Sailing "leak", or w/e. It's like asking someone, "Do you think I would come to your house in the middle of the night and rob you?". It's most likely sarcastic in this case of course, but my point is that the Mod's post can be sarcastic as well.

[3hitm4g3u]

I'd rather have no new skill.

well technically, i dont think it should be called "Piracy" because in this age of technology, when someone says piracy, one of the first things ppl think of is bootleg movies and stuff...hence- pirating dvds, etc. mayb a different word for Piracy

[Misterknowitall]

Let's call it the Shiver-Me-Timbers skill then.

 

 

 

Syrsly, try finding a good synonym.

[siim]

As it has been stated before, I would rather have no new skill than have one or more skills that are completely lame, which is the case scenario at the moment.
