Now that theres finally an activity bar, everyone will play in the forsaken game, and there won't be anymore afkers!

 

 

 

Although... is it a good or bad thing?

 

 

 

Chances are, there won't be people around the avatar, as they need to improve their activity bar once in a while, and noone will defend ava as noone will be standing next to it.

 

 

 

Graveyards will also be easier to take over.(Unless people constantly die, nevermind, this is a 50/50 fact, I didnt even test this out yet)

 

 

 

Monsters will be crowded, though the level 50's or 40's will be easy to take care of.

 

 

 

Massive amount of people in the game fighting now, which may result in more lag.

 

 

 

Less people may go because of the ability of not afking(Is it really a good or bad thing?)

 

 

 

So in conclusion, is it really a good thing to put in the bar?

 

 

 

Personally for me, it really really is. I won't have to worry about afkers, and I can just play thinking it's fair, and everyone will be participating in this castle-war like game! :thumbsup:

 

 

 

How bout you?

How quickly does the bar go red? How quickly can you get it back green? That's the deciding factor.

I've not tired it yet but I expect it's a good thing - freeloaders need to be stopped =/

This obviously matters most, but at least they have to do something, which is a step in the right direction, and is an improvement none the less.

 

I'm glad they implemented this into the system.

Well, that factor, it may be about 30seconds to 1 minute. As anything longer it's possible to freeload.

 

 

 

And I am also glad, as freeloaders must die to chinchompas.

I think you have a point about the defending

 

If your in a clan and your job is to defend, and your clan are owning, then you have nothing to do correct?

 

Also does dieing count as doing something?

 

Or alching/cursing?

people can still leech -.-

So can anybody who's been there tell the rest of us how long the bar takes to change?

around 2.5 mins i was told havnt timed it for myself

Yea.

 

 

 

Those nazi freeloaders can go die.

im sure jagex will change it yet again

So can anybody who's been there tell the rest of us how long the bar takes to change?

 

Approx 2 minutes. Games are already down to 250 person a team from the normal ~500 per team that would be on right now.

The other half is trying the new quest.

WHAT exactly do you have to do to get the bar green or keep it green?

 

Can you be walking? Do you have to attack something? Do you have to be hitting hits?

 

I can see a flaw with the people defending having to go away from the avatar occasionaly if nobody from the other team tries to attack the avatar.

 

 

 

I agree freeloaders arent the spirit of soul wars, but it will be hard to destinguish from the free loaders and the avatar defender's on the winning team.

doing damage fills it up, it also resets if you die

I've been playing a bit of soul wars and I found it goes back up a lot quicker if you either die or do an activity like attack/be attacked/heal players ect. I suppose if you're defending an avatar for 2 mins and the other team hasn't even sent anyone across yet then you're probably better off somewhere else anyway.

It's a good update, though freeloaders could somehow get around it. They could fight the other teams freeloaders with no weapons, just armor, so their bars stay green for the game. :-#

i would run into the enemy base, exclaim "ding-dong, obama in da house" and proceed to super defense pot, pray, and defeat as many free-loaders as possible. i believe i got it on cam :D

Its a good update - no longer can you hop into the winning team, head on up to the graveyard and afk for another 19mins.

 

It is very fast to get your bar from almost empty to full. Just start whacking on someone and voila, full. Stay still and it drains quickly to empty. 9/10

Really need this in the fishing trawler like really really really really really oh sorry about spam, but yeah need it in fishing trawler. Also need to stop humidify there

you cant humidify in trawler anymore. they changed that a while ago.

1) Took long enough.

 

 

 

2) Are you [bleep]ing serious... Dying restores the bar? FAILED.

I already don't play the game because of lag. Bear in mind thats all server lag, none of it is my conection.

 

While I definatly agree the damned free loaders needed to be stopped (not to mention taken out back and shot), I don't think this will fix the lag issue, and will almost certainly make it worse to the point where the game is unplayable.

Well, if you die, your bar restores.

 

 

 

It's a good thing though, right?

 

 

 

Cause you still have to go up to an enemy to fight. =D

It drains back down again pretty quickly.

 

 

 

I was maging for no particular reason and decided to stake a spot and lower the defence of any enemies passing by, I found that between people killing me my bar reached about 2/3 of the way down at the most. I found it didn't go up when I was doing spells that were combat spells but not damaging, I think that might be a fix at some point. On the whole I didn't really notice it very much :)
