timmyx50 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 well, i got to thinking, when barrows came out, it was a first for Runescape. several bosses the players did NOT have to compete with each other to kill them and/or make a profit. now even to this day (correct me if im wrong) there are no other self spawed bosses that players kill to make a good profit, and do not compete with each other to get the kill. do you think that making the brothers self spawning a bad idea considering the power of thier armor? do you think we need more like them to establish a more friendly environment? how much do you think would change if the brothers spawed one at a time, like the KBD, Granndor, or Tormented Wraith, forcing players to compete with each other? discuss.

compfreak847 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Competition is very, very rare at solo boss killing. There's almost always an open world. All that would happen would be the high level players taking over every kill, or there being enough open worlds for everyone to kill freely.

Slikfcgk Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 i dont like multi combat areas, other players take my kills i rather fight the boss alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrior5024 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I tend to solo nowadays, but I do understand what you are saying. However, barrows was intended to be just you vs the whole crypt. It's single combat for a reason. Am I the only one who thinks of and remembers Leester's words in his runite mining guide? He was arguing with people who thought it was wrong to post his guide, and he said something along the lines of, "If you had to share Barrows brothers the way you share runite rocks, then it wouldn't be as friendly of an environment. Barrows is selfish." So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMjE Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 No thanks When you go barrows theres at least 4-5 others there and it would be ridiculous to attempt to kill 6 when somebody else is killing them Also this would sugget making the tunnels a multi combat area, so suggest how would you open the door with something nibbling at you every second? null and void Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everyonedies Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Barrows is set up differently so its not the same as other bosses gives the game variety. http://www.clanhavok.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Barrows aren't a boss monster. They are a mini-game. That's why they are far lower level than alot of standard monsters let alone the boss monsters.

JoeDaStudd Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Barrows like others have said is a minigame so different rules apply (Bork is another example of player dependent spawn). At the time of release, and for a while after, they where some of the highest and most powerful npc's. This is why some still class them as bosses.

xpx Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 barrows brothers are not boss monsters and are designed to be killed alone, where as boss monsters are designed to be killed with a team(though only one monster can really be classed as a boss monster). Monsters like the corpral beast are not designed to be killed alone and thus have no need to be player bound. Moreover, when soloing a boss it's always easier to find a suitable world than when teaming- non-ls worlds are only used by ffa worlds(max 2 servers at any boss at any time) and soloers, while there are loads of cs/ls teams around every boss at every time.

Outsanity Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I think, personally, they should introduce more things like the Barrows Brothers. I, for one, am really sick of having to find a team of players to go kill a boss monster with. It takes too long, and if it's GWD you have to wait for the slow people to get KC, and then people log out and by the time you get a team together you've wasted about an hour. Now, I can solo Bandos and such, and probably get in 2-3 kills a trip, but with that low amount of kills it would be harder to get a worthy drop. You see people get lucky, but if you've stayed at a Bandos trip for more than 50 kills you start to realize how rare the drops actually are. If more barrows type games were introduced we could get some new, higher armor sets and have another single player challenge, which, in my opinion, are always the best and most challenging. |2,300+ Total|138 Combat|12 Lvl 99 Skills|99 Slayer| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren211 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Well I think we're set for "multi-combat" boss monsters for the time being. The corp beast is so hard and inefficient to kill that not many people bother, and even the big clans who do rarely get a sigil drop. No, we won't be seeing many new bosses until people find a new way to solo/duo it and drop the prices down for sigils/spirit shields dramatically. It would be pretty stupid of Jagex to release a new tougher boss when there's already one that few bold adventurers dare to fight. As for "individual spawn" monsters, those may be jagex's new boss releases for a while until the corp beast becomes worthwhile to waste time on. I'd be interested to see how it turns out to release more bosses like the barrows brothers (whom I would think are not bosses at all). [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers.

Enipeus Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I think they should release another boss like Jad where it takes skill of switching prayurs :idea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
