Finally, a soul wars activity bar, though is it good or bad?

[alcoolj]

I have seen people exploiting a bug in SW whereby they get around the green bar thing. They seeem to stay a 'ghost' for the duration of the game in the graveyard box thing.

 

 

 

Have sent a bug report to HQ.

[Tact]

Definitely a good thing. No more 99 str and 10 hp pures.

stil very easy to bypass the new system... not saying how though

[Aegis Titan]

Meh I killed freeloaders for the lulz, now I'll get all these level 120+ers on me -.- .

I know what your method is.... but you still can't sit around.

 

 

 

You need to get killed to restock the bar? Well, you still need to get out of the graveyard.

 

 

 

nub :shame:

Coming from a soul wars veteran: This was a long needed update.

 

 

 

Good job Jagex.

Wrong - there is a bug where you can stay in the graveyard for the entire game as a ghosty, and not be required to take any further part in the game yet still gain 3 zeal.

The game might be a bit funner now. I only play it for fun but it wasn't all that fun because you either had to wait forever to get in or go on the side that gets pwned. Now the competition may be a bit more fair, but the clans will probably dominate still of course.

 

 

 

I really don't understand why so many people do soul wars just for xp.... The xp is HORRIBLE - even slayer is faster combat xp, and armoured zombies are like twice as fast as SW almost.

 

 

 

But anyway, all they have to do is make a SC style game-joining system so the games are more fair. I hate those stupid clans who farm the game for xp even though it sucks for xp.

I like the fact the main jist of most of the moaning about the bar is:

 

 

 

1) Can't stand at the obelisk when its not under attack to defend it

 

 

 

2) Can't stand at you're avatar when its not under attack to defend it

 

 

 

3) Can't stand at a graveyard when its not under attack to defend it

 

 

 

But standing around at these areas when they are not under attack clearly does not contribute to the game and achieves nothing. So how are people who do this any better than afkers?

 

 

 

 

 

If the obelisk is under attack you can actively defend it.

 

 

 

If a graveyard comes under attack you can actively defend it.

 

 

 

When an avatar is under attack you can actively defend it.

 

 

 

All it means is you can't go "oh I'm gonna do job x for the entire game and stand around doing nothing for ages because what im defending isn't under attack and while I stand around doing nothing I'll whine and moan about afkers who stand around and do nothing because clearly by standing here at area y while its not under attack I am doing HUGE amounts to contribute to the game"

Fishing Trawler is going to be getting a similar bar too!

This will be nice when it is implemented.

I like this update because it forces people to accept more dynamic roles. No more just defending the obelisk, or just defending the avatar, or just accumulating points to weaken the enemy, etc. This means, ideally, that if everyone's picking up their activity levels, games should be more close and less of a landslide they always seem to be.

 

 

 

Note that I haven't been to SW after the update...still. :oops: So I'm just speculating, plsnoh8mi.

I agree having played withg my clans and such I always find the game is much more fun, flys by much faster and the team does betetr when everyone takes a dynamic role rather than I stand here to defend this despite the fact no-one is remotely near here.

 

 

 

You charge out onto the field, if you see your graveyard udner siege jump in and defend it.

 

 

 

If you've lsot the obelisk or are losing it you charge in and whack some noobs

 

 

 

If things are pretty stable you go collect shards to feed the obelisk.

 

 

 

If you avatar is getting pummeled you run bones to the graveuard or charge bk to defend it.

 

 

 

If their avatr is getting weaker but its health is staying high you run thru and have a pummell at tht

 

 

 

etc etc

[DyingSilent]

Very disappointed by this update. I was in w44, and lagging very bad. Hard to attack anyone with terrible lag...Bar went from full green to kicked out in 2 mins. Very disappointed indeed.

[salim123]

Free loaders can still go

 

I have a 9hp skiller im training and use soul wars for it (trying to get 75 attack for ags at 9hp)

 

All you have to do is cast curse or bury a bone (if your not a level 3 skiller)

 

If you are a level 3 skiller all you have to do is die, or heal someone with a bandage

[w0odspriteV2]

it's awesome for the people who want to play the game cause they like it

 

 

 

but less awesome for the people who look for cheap exp without doing anything... people like me : D

[Neilson1111]

Go train plx. 8-)
