Actually i always thought most crossbows did have metal limbs, and a wooden stock.

 

 

 

They do. Which is why #19 does suck. Type crossbow into google images and look for yourself. About 60% of the images on the first page alone have metal limbs and wooden stocks.

 

 

 

I don't agree with #19.

 

 

 

And I also want to mention that while I started out liking the idea of this thread and it's original first few ideas, I think it's turning into a "101 Suggestions that don't suck, but aren't that great either."

 

 

 

Give us some GREAT ideas, not just ones that can fall into a category of not sucking. There's a lot that won't necessarily suck, but isn't great or even that "good" either.

 

 

 

I don't mean to be critical, but, I mean, if you're going to really try to go for 101 suggestions and you want me to read all 101 of them by the time your done, I want to know that the ideas will be worth the time reading into. The past 5 ideas have left me going, "Um...ok...that's cool, I guess." :|

 

 

 

This is becoming a bit like a "Did you know?" :lol: I didn't know most of the facts there.

 

 

 

Anyway, kiteshields are NOT made out of wood (even in RS). The brown part is a "sigil" or something.

 

 

 

Crossbow stocks shouldn't be made out of metal, really.

 

1) It would cost too much.

 

2) It would be too heavy.

 

 

 

Though I can't say I agree with metal limbs either...There are some metallic parts in crossbows, but seriously, how are you going to bend metal hundreds of times without it cracking? :roll: Or carry a 5kg crossbow which costs as much as your pay?

Saying you can't bend CB limbs many times without them crackin would be like saying any bow should break because planks break when bended.

 

The reason the limbs doesn't crack is due to the metal being cooled down slowly, instead of dipping it in water, causing it to be softer than normal and therefore be mouch less affected by fatique. :geek:

 

 

 

Btw: I so far support all of the ideas except #19.

Or carry a 5kg crossbow which costs as much as your pay?

 

 

 

Because we all know how much lighter a 2h sword is than a crossbow.

Its a TWOHANDED sword. You have to hold the crossbow with one hand in RuneScape. And even in real life, you'll have to hold it with one hand while reloading.

 

 

 

=D> Nice logic. =D>

:P, forgot about that.

 

 

 

A longsword is still significantly heavier than a crossbow.

 

 

 

That gets me thinking, WHY is crossbow 1 handed, i never knew you shot crossbows like a gun :P.

:P, forgot about that.

Exactly. Crossbows should be twohanded like normal bows. How do you hold a crossbow with one hand and reload it with the same hand at the same time?

:P, forgot about that.

Making crossbows 2-handed would be a significant hit to ranging. The fact that crossbows are 1-handed is for the sole reason that rangers need a weapon that offers variety and power. This variety and power comes in the different kinds of special bolt attacks that make ranging a whole lot more fun. For cbows to be made 2-handed they would need a significant improvement.

I remember the old animations the shield arm reloaded the crossbow. It looked a bit weird, but at least it made SOME sense, i wonder why that was changed?

:P, forgot about that.

I was questioning the LOGIC. Of course I didn't mean to change crossbows to be 2handed weapons in RuneScape. That will just be too much of a waste of a time just to achieve logic in a fantasy game.

:P, forgot about that.

A crossbow is actually 1,5 handed as reloading can be don while wearing a shield(yes it is worn through a leather stap fastened around your arm) or holding a small object like a defender. Also after reloading you only need one hand to fire it as the locking mechanism is released by pulling a long trigger that runns along the bottom third of the stock.

Yea, but in game, your character doesn't reload. It used to, but nowadays it just shoots it like a gun and you auto reload.

 

 

 

Automatic medieval weaponry ftw. Its not even soposed to be a repeating crossbow like karils.

i think jaqex took your idea on #10

Sorry for the lack of updates, I was busy with 99 mage last weekend, took a break after that, and am now armadyl-ing lots. I'll have 3 new suggestions tommorrow. I'll also be removing the current one. The limbs in crossbows are very thick in runescape, much too think to bend, so my reaction was "they would have to be made of wood to bend" rather than "they would have to be thinner to bend." I don't think that's substantial enough for a update on it's own so it'll probably be put into a later list of bugs.

No, I was just improving the organization of the spell tabs, I didn't suggest the system itself.

Sweet. :thumbsup:

Updated finally.

#19 (New). I guess it's a good idea, I don't know how possible (or not) it is though. I have absolutly 0 knowledge when it comes to coding etc, so I'm abstained from fully commenting about this.

 

 

 

#20. It is a good idea. I guess the Costume room fits better.

 

 

 

#21. It's more of a "request" for Jagex than it is an idea. No creativity was required for it.

:thumbup: +1

 

 

 

I'm not a member, so I can't comment on #19, but #20 really did not require any creativity to be honest. There are already numerous suggestions on weapon rooms, helm rooms, etc. You even admitted it yourself in the post. All you had to do was to take their idea, think about it for a while, spin it a bit, and ta-da! A "new" suggestion. #21 was honestly the worst. No creativity at all.

 

 

 

Sorry to be so critical, but honestly, I don't think this thread is a very good idea. It's better to focus on quality instead of quantity. You should take some ideas you like very much and develop them, instead of trying to force yourself to think of some ideas every week. This causes the ideas to be not very creative and not well-thought out.

Tbh they should just put the summoning tab back :/ Other than that, not bad =P

lol i like it

 

i agree 100% to everyone except #1 lol

 

 

 

i don't really care if a charm takes up space in my inventory but it still would be nice

 

 

 

i like the look of #2 too lol

 

i especially like the idea of a larger bank screen in HD

 

and i do believe they need something to hold rings now...lol there's too many of them

21 is a great idea.

 

 

 

Go to a boss in a not lootshare world, there almost never anyone there, go there in a lootshare world and there 2 different clans fighting over the boss. We need more LS worlds.

 

 

 

19 is a good idea as well, for the sake of convenience.

you sir, are a genius. i love your ideas

Hey I have a suggestion to give that might interest you at the point of adding it in your fantastic thread :mrgreen:

 

 

 

It's about the summoning icon. I think that when you carry no scrolls in your inventory or in a helmet holdnig them, you would not see the scroll using option when moving your mouse over the summon icon. it could lead to something else and would help a lot of people!

 

 

 

Just an idea, feel free to use or not ;)

 

 

 

Etp

Hey, I read all the suggestions and I think they're really good. Also the edited pictures and stuff were very good too.

 

 

 

Just one thing that I thought was kinda funny in your post. When you said -

 

 

 

 

 

"Random square of stone upstairs in the blue moon pub."

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm pretty sure that's a carpet, not a sqaure of stone lol :D

I highly doubt that's a carpet...

#21 is something Jagex really need to consider. I just spent the past hour trying to find a lootshare world to duo Bandos with my friend and every world except a super laggy India world was full. Honestly there should be twice as many lootshare worlds than there is now.
