Sentry_Wolf Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Zanik the cave goblin has vanished, throwing the city of Dorgesh-Kaan into turmoil. Where has she gone? Uncover the truth behind Zaniks disappearance and save the city of Dorgesh-Kaan in The Chosen Commander, the conclusion of the Dorgeshuun quest series Ever since Dorgesh-Kaan made contact with the surface, the cave goblin adventurer Zanik has helped to defend the city from Sigmund's villainous plots. Now Zanik has disappeared, her fate and whereabouts unknown, and Dorgesh-Kaan is more vulnerable than ever. Captain Undak of the Dorgeshuun guard is responsible for the city's defences, and he needs your help to investigate a possible HAM attack - but this will only be the start of your adventure. The mystery of Zanik's disappearance will be resolved, and the truth behind a goblin prophecy will be revealed, as events move inexorably towards the realisation of Zanik's destiny. Your adventures will include the discovery of a new Agility course, learning more about the history of the Dorgeshuun, and uncovering the plots of the Big High War God. The Chosen Commander is the conclusion of a quest series that began with The Lost Tribe. I've had enormous fun working on this storyline over the last few years, and I've tried to give what I think are the best elements of the previous quests a final outing here. I hope you enjoy it. Mod John A RuneScape Content Developer Summary: Where to start The Chosen Commander: Speak to Captain Undak in Dorgesh-Kaan. Requirements to complete The Chosen Commander: Level 46 Agility Level 46 Strength Level 46 Thieving Must have completed Land of the Goblins Must be able to defeat several foes up to level 125 To be reminded of whats happened so far in this quest series, start the quest and then log in to the QuestHelp system youll find a complete summary of all the earlier quests, from The Lost Tribe to Land of the Goblins. To go along with the quest we're releasing a new Knowledge Base article, History of the Goblins, which is in the Miscellaneous Guides section of the Knowledge Base. We're also releasing a developer forum post looking back over the quest series, which can be found in the forums under Recent Updates. If you enjoy the goblin quests you may also want to read the newest Lores and Histories story, The Chasm of Lights. In Other News... To mark the end of the Dorgeshuun quest series, were releasing a limited-edition zip-up hoodie on the Jagex store. Its a limited run of only 2,000, so click here to get yours now! If youre logged in to RuneScape and navigate away from the game screen, you will now have to click on a confirmation box to confirm that you want to navigate away from the page. This is to make sure that you dont accidentally lose your game window. We've made a couple of changes to the party room due to concerns about abuse by real-world traders. Firstly, drop parties are now available only on two worlds (131 and 152). Secondly, players must now enter their bank PIN (if they have one) before putting items into the drop chest. We're sorry we have to do this, but we can't let real-world traders ruin the party. We've added a wave-counter interface that will pop up at the start of each round in the TzHaar fight caves. This means you should now find it much easier to track which wave you're on. Male ogres have been graphically reworked and improved to bring them in line with the recently-updated female ogres. They look tougher and stronger than ever, but don't worry; they're still not the smartest creatures around! Players will no longer increase their drop-value potential on PvP worlds if they repeatedly cast the basic strike spells. We've reduced the likelihood of your getting AMEs if you're burning incense in your house, or if you're in building mode. We've also reduced the likelihood that youll get AMEs in the Chaos Tunnels and on the Dorgesh-Kaan agility course. Email registration for new accounts is now optional, although we would still advise you to enter your email address when registering, so that we can help you if you need to recover your password. In this weeks update, weve implemented an extremely frequently-requested improvement to route-finding. This should particularly improve the playability of the game in laggy situations. For a long time (well, forever really) it has been the case that when you click to move somewhere, your character would occasionally run in the wrong direction for a few steps before turning around and going to the point you actually selected. Fixing this has been a popular request for a long time. It might sound like a simple task, but in fact it was very difficult, which is why we hadnt managed it until now. To fix the problem we have had to move the route-finding calculation onto our servers, so that the route is always calculated from the correct spot. However, before we could do that we had to upgrade all of our servers to be able to handle the extra computations required! Weve finally made this investment, and have been able to update the route-finding accordingly. We think this is a great example of a small change which should make a big difference to how the game feels to play.

Dexek Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 So, what are your opinions on the new wallpaper for the Runescape homepage. It obviously relates to the new quest, but what I am curious about is the shaded figure in the banner. Any ideas on who or what this might be? In my eyes I first figured it to be some monster; now that I look at it some more it almost seems as though it is a mechanical contraption being operated by someone in the center (a goblin most likely). Anyone have similar opinions, or different ones altogether?

Dexek Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Once it is out in 8 minutes I plan to. Although, I would like to know the reward first.

Rosanante1 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 OK so this is what you're talking about. The complimentary thread regarding the 150th Quest crosses into this discussion.

Dexek Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 It should be fun. What I am also very pleased that they made the "route finding update". It always drove me a bit crazy when my character took two steps forward and one step back. :lol: PoetryIndexed Picture 1Indexed Picture 2 Killed my maxed Zerker pure April 2010 Rebooting Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candymann16 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 seems very low reqs for the 150th quest, i was hoping for something like RFD that everyone can do but the higher you are the more rewarding the quest gets, hopefully the new agil course will be better than the other goblin course...

Lord_Shalaj Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 A bit low requirements, isn't it? I expect the Quest to be loads of fun, but can't say much about the rewards (again, assuming on the requirements). And what a wonderful route-finding update. Kudos! :D Thanks..

Dexek Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Well, I logged out at the reward portion of "Land of Goblins" last night; deciding if I really wanted 52 prayer. I think I'll get the prayer, but not finish this quest until I find out the reward. I'll just go as far as I can without completion for now.

I think it's fine like this. It's an awesome storyline, and everyone should be able to enjoy it. So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth, These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf, Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in, Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything, Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel, Tear up the book and write your own damn rules, Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got, And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut, And realise that the other world that you're always looking for, Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door, And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas, After all, you were put on the earth to do this, So shine your light so bright that all can see, Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.
