Calzer101 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Well I just feel completely deteriorated that I spend about two weeks constantly clicking away on my tinderbox and to my maples and now almost everyone can achieve it with no effort what so ever (except clicking X and adding number)and can all be gone in just a few more updates.. Just like prayer getting nerfed. Firemaking has long been a determined 99 Skill and so has prayer but will this mean another end? Do you think Firemaking will become what Prayer has?

Danqazmlp Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yes because its the end of runescape as we know it, the seas will boil and the trees will burn from rain of fire, all life will die. And then we will get chop-x. -.- Want to be my friend?

spooferfish Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Prayer needed that. Right clicking the bone, then clicking use got old fast. At least you can just click log then tinderbox and there goes your log with fm. Right clicking all the bones was ridiculous. I don't think we need the burn-x, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did eventually happen. These updates are nice most of the time, like in rsc, you had to click pick axe, then click the rock, and it swung once, if you missed the ore you clicked pick then rock again. Or lob fishing, right click spot, click cage, repeat. Even with action-x skills, they still require time, and money, they just dont cause carpel tunnel..as fast.

IE accidentally burying a bone, which was annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Even with action-x skills, they still require time, and money, they just dont cause carpel tunnel..as fast. This is the crowning jewel of the argument for Do-X skills. Even if Firemaking were to acquire a burn-x, you'd still have to have the logs to begin with in the first place. Only difference now is that you're not murdering your finger in the process.

fat_klutz Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Light fire-X is a little harder though because all other 'x' skills are done independently of other people. Would jagex program it so you would move around an obstruction in the way or what? Know what I mean?

Would jagex program it so you would move around an obstruction in the way or what? Know what I mean? If something interupts what you're doing, you stop. It would be the same for "Light x" logs; if something was in the square, you'd just stop lighting.

FirenLazah Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Light X would be impossible considering bumping into something would sort of ruin it. Dont people know that alter X actually slows down the xp rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont people know that alter X actually slows down the xp rate? We do know but now its AFKable which doesn't make it such a hard skill to get anymore, In other words people would rather have a slower exp rate and afk most of it instead, from what I know from my friends Thanks mods I lost all my record of my 99's GF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Dont people know that alter X actually slows down the xp rate? I gotta tell you - I don't care that the exp rate in the short term is slowed down, so long as I can get my goal level. Same with Smith-X - don't care that it takes time to smith each platebody or knife, but I'm getting 92 Smithing sooner or later. :P Linux User/Enthusiast | Full-Stack Software Engineer | Stack Overflow Member | GIMP User...Alright, the Elf City update lured me back to RS over a year ago.

Enipeus Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 firemakings a satisfying clicking beat than gilded alter clicking which is painful but I hope so cuase i'm only 90 firemakin then i'd go for 200M xp :ugeek: :ugeek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's really your choice to train prayer that way, it's not the only way to do it, if it's optional (yet seems compulsary these days) to use guilded alter to train prayer then why complain?

Sir_Kurity Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 There will be kill monster X before we see firemake X. So far all the X things have been stationary skills (you do it while in the same tile) To see someone firemaking afk would just be funny. You know what would be good? Drop x =D.

@Dan3HitU Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Firemake-X would be very simple to program, it'd be almost a complete copy of String-X, a pop-up dialog appears and you choose 5, 10, All, X.

brainymidget Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 It's not that it would be hard to program, it's that firemaking is a very different skill from these others, where you stand in one place and altar bones, or cook sharks, or fletch bows. I personally don't see Jagex implementing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormveritas Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Great question; could really go either way. I think it will take a little while, but I think it will come out. The game will continue to get easier by it's nature. They need new content, and if new content isn't more effective, it's worthless. This wouldn't necessarily be "new content", but rather trending towards risk aversion. I can't see Jagex getting sued by someone getting CTS, but apparently they can, as their actions indicate.

Bauke Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Jagex is introducing [action]-x to remove some of the notorious grinding that Runescape is known about. Therefore, they introduced pray-x, since training prayer on a POH altar requires a lot of wrist killing clicking. Firemaking is a bit different. You still click, on the logs, but it doesn't require the same clicking speed to be effective at it. So, less clicking, less need to remove any of the grinding. So I doubt we'll be seeing a lit fire-x. Twitter ||| Google+ ||| Facebook ||| LinkedIn ||| My very interesting weblog about science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilded altar is much cheaper than buruying, and much faster than the ecto thing. Nowadays it is the only sensible way to train prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedman Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I certainly hope so. It's an annoying, boring skill, and it will make all the nooby 99 firemakers whine. A Guide to Chinning in Ape atoll: up to 325kxp/h! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zierro Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I don't see any troubles they'd have to face with the coding. You already automatically move one space to the west after lighting a log, so they can just program you to light another one after you move to the space.

Hydra_55555 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Running into obstacles pretty much guarantees that there [should] never be a 'firemake - x' option. It'll also be pointless, because all of the 'hot' ( ;) ) firemaking spots will make this kind of invalid, as all it takes is someone to also light a fire on your path to stop your afking right there. Besides, firemaking is already easy and not too repetitive on your wrists. I'd personally prefer it if this remained the way it is now, since it's a steady pace already. Drop - x would be a much more popular 'x' feature anyway, and tbh the only one that's really necessary (when I say necessary, I mean is the least likely to get complaints). Just as long as the list goes: Use Drop Drop - x Examine Cancel Because sometimes you only need to drop 1 \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
