Since Pray X, Firemake X?

[Assume Nothing]

I remember making this argument in the hyt chat. If a 'hard' 99 can be ruined like this, why not make everything have a option-x? Say, there could be a 'runagilitycourse-x' sometime soon, perhaps even a 'mine granite and autodrop-x' too. To go even further, there could be a 'Craftandruntobankfillpouchesandrunbacktoaltar-x' for nature rune crafting too D=!! Imo, too much of runescape is becoming easy, even if you get slower xp, you barely need any concentration/attention to train prayer now, it's almost like cooking, pretty much afkable.

 

 

 

People talk about how offer-x gives slower xp, what most dont realise is not everyone gets xp at that speed, also, it required 100% attention, you cannot not move your mouse and get xp, until now, where you can. I myself cannot stand the thought of training prayer for 10 hours straight, but now, if I had the money, I can, why, because it's AFKABLE! Why is the mining cape hell rare and respected? Why is the fm cape not spat at like the cooking cape? Because they require alot of attention and time, which not everyone can afford, also requiring patience and determination.

 

 

 

Instead of thinking 'Wow nice prayer cape son!', I think of prayer capes as 'pfft, just a very expensive cooking cape is all' now. People like Zarfot already made a small 'rant' on how there should be a option where you CAN manually train for the faster xp, which of course, people would like.

 

 

 

Now, moving onto the idea of fm-x, I do believe this can be done, but I doubt this will be done, because there is the possibility to run into obsticles as Hydra said, also, would runescape become 'too' botlike? There are also the players who do NOT like option x's, like when stringing unstrungs got nerfed, now you only get a set amount of xp per hour stringing. Hmmm, kinda tired atm, might edit and post again. Kthnxbye

I actually thought burn-x would be in before the pray-x. :roll:

 

 

 

Seems literally everything is being made easier, so no doubt it will come. ;)

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 \

 

i like your drop-x idea...doesnt have a drop all so its not too easy. even though all you really need is to type >28 and all drop anyways but still, simple

That's cause your fantasies involve mining which requires alot of dropping =p, but back on topic, I like the drop-x idea too, it would mean i WILL get 99 fish.

I thought the Pray-X was only for the house altar? Maybe I'm wrong, haven't checked

[RawRR]

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.

 

 

 

This is true. Jagex decided that they wanted to go soft on our wrists. But for Firemaking, the logs are right next to the tinderbox, why add an X command?

[SwreeTak]

I think that Jagex will add fm x in the future. They want to make the game less grindy and the skills easier and faster to gain xp in if you get the right materials. They have already added "make x" to a lot of other skills, so why not fming?

[BiJay]

People like Zarfot already made a small 'rant' on how there should be a option where you CAN manually train for the faster xp, which of course, people would like.

 

Yeah, thats the point. Do-X kills the old method of training. Having both options side-by-side would make some people more happy.

 

 

 

There are people (like me) who like to train fm and would get very annoyed if they kill the fun of it. There should be an alternative way of training fm for those people who don't like to fm the classic way. It's just a fact that fm has very little content.

[doomy]

EDIT; I'm confused againn.

Do you realise how slow drop x will be, considering how they've implemented the other do x's. Every do x is slower than what you could do manually. Dont think they will introduce a drop-x and make it instantly.

[Asmodeous4]

I'm pretty sure this will never happen, will make FM too easy to train afk and obstacles are a problem.

I don't think the speed of drop - x is really an issue, since usually when you want to drop all of a particular item in your inventory you have the time to spare, and it would still be quicker and easier than the other methods of clearing the junk out (i.e. running to the bank).

 

 

 

Mining is a good example actually, because although players might indeed be able to drop an inv. of ores faster than doing the x option, I'm sure a bit of afk-ability in a skill that otherwise centers on concentration wouldn't really bug that many people :P .

 

That's why I would also be in favour of keeping the normal drop command, since that way people who want to do it faster still have the option to.

I don't care if it takes twice as long. It would still make powermining much easier on your fingertips.

[J35u5_M4]

Alch X would be something I'd like to see ^^.

 

 

 

OT: FM X, well, don't think so. But who knows?

[Ed_Warrior]

Why do people think that the programming for fm-x is going to be that hard everything is there from other skills but the moving but that is an automatic response anyways so all they would have to do is make it wait long enough for you to move off the log you lit. If you hit an obstacle it would just default to what it already does if there is an obstacle in the way and stops burning logs. I mean when you tell it to do X on anything it doesn't freak out when it runs out of supplies just say you can no longer do the skill it would be the same with this just instead of running out of supplies you would be blocked by something. With the way things are going I bet that this option will be available very soon.

[vadim49]

Tbh, i think getting light-x would just ruin the achievement in getting 99 firemaking. (stating the obvious eh?)

[Sir_Kurity]

Yes, but wouldn't everyone love an easy skillcape that costs 2 mill, 1 month of time, and no effort?

[umbear]

i dont mind the "x" skills. Its simply less boring. Actaully, x is a litttle slower that the manual method

[Calzer101]

Yes, but wouldn't everyone love an easy skillcape that costs 2 mill, 1 month of time, and no effort?

 

 

 

No effort = No Pride, Respect Etc you name it lol..

[killerbeer0]

I can't see Jagex getting sued by someone getting CTS, but apparently they can, as their actions indicate.

 

 

 

A phone(you know) line was sued successfully by an employee for her contraction or RSI from... well... duh.

 

 

 

Suing Jagex and winning would be plausible.

Like a cooking cape that looks cool.

Ooh, so the firemaking cape is like ... respected atm?

 

 

 

#-o

[flymi]

personally i dont think so, if you could firemake all you could get it easily within a few weeks because its so cheap to do, with prayer being 100mill + it still takes a lot of effort to get it.

 

 

 

just my 2 cents

[ultimatballr]

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?

 

 

 

Actually, you still get 200k exp/hour (I am relatively sure I do with my own alter) which was pretty much a little less than average for a medium speed clicker prior to the update. (Faster clickers and mouse key users could get 300k-400k exp/hour)

 

 

 

I personally have started prayer training again thanks to this update, and let me tell you it's still a drag like it was before, except now I can at least entertain myself with the forums instead of umm.. the RS screen? ... and I can talk to friends or people using my alter which is great.

[aspeeder]

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.

 

Its not as big a deal, but I remember when getting 70 pray griefers standing behind the altar were the worst, and now with pray-x they have no power :
