May 28, 200917 yr Maybe just make the new HP bar for high def only? Wongton is better than me in anyway~~
May 28, 200917 yr I like the new 0 splat. :mrgreen: I hate to be nit-picky but doesn't that 0 look slightly off centered? I may be wrong but it looks so to me. If it is, blame Jagex. The only thing I edited on there is the transparent blue color around the shield. If Jagex removed red barring, people would rant about it not being there anymore. Since they kept it added, people rant about it being there. #-o Don't listen to complaints the few days after an update. A lot of them is just new stuff people need to get used to. I assumed everybody knew that already. When everything's been said and done, more has been said than done.All skills 80+
May 29, 200917 yr the new hitpoints bar and splats are downright ugly. they look like something out of a cartoon, making the game look even more unrealistic. it reminds me of pokemon...

Plus the level 100 Charizard you owned could take down anything, even at 1 hp. I piety the fool.

May 29, 200917 yr Not huge updates, but very nice to add to the graphical improvements of the game. Thankfully the spam filter is optional, as i find some people actually like seeing what they cut/catch etc. Ex-Wilderness GuardianEx-Solace Retired from F2P clans indefinitely
May 29, 200917 yr The new ingame dungeon maps are pretty sweet and I like the hitpoint bar. When I now visit Zaff in Varrock click on the door to open and now get spammed with something I don't want to do, ftl. "Be Excellent To Each Other"
May 29, 200917 yr I actually think these updates were pretty good. I the dungeon maps! I also think the new splats blend really well in HD :thumbup:. I don't think the attack splat is too great, but I love the poison and disease splats. It's just that they're all a little harder to read. The HP bar will definitely take some time to get used to, but it's much better than the MS Paint failure they had before. It just doesn't blend in with the rest of the graphics. The chat filter idea's genius, too! \ But there's one problem: the updates scared the hell out of quite a few screenshot fakers :o Why, you ask? Because of the one and only way Jagex will ever get rid of fakers: antialiasing :shock: I had to go through the trouble of recreating the new splats practically from scratch! I haven't done the disease and poison splats yet, but for those who are interested, here's what I did manage to do: It's funny how a small update like the splats can cause pandemonium on Sal's faking forum :o. Hopefully that'll hold for a while, but if Jagex decides to change them again... :x Aside from the new complications in screenshot faking, though, I really liked the new updates. Although the minimap flag kinda annoys me <_< They really should have fixed redbarring, and it wouldn't be too hard, either: just make one pixel of green stay in the bar until the monster's dead, regardless of % calculations. That's easy to do, all they need is an if-then, or they could just round up instead of down. I also agree with the idea of distinguishing blocks and misses. I also think it would be interesting to have a "heal splat", for when you use things that heal you, such as the SGS spec, but not for when you eat food. Previously they used a blue splat for healing, and that was only for the snowmen in Christmas '07. But they can't use a shield for that anymore, of course, so it would be interesting to have a new splat, even if it would only be seen by people using an SGS spec or something else besides food that heals. kb is already updated for the hitpoints http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewarticle.ws?article_id=1945 edit: Also found this amusing: Lol, the Chaos Tunnels continue to prove themselves worthy of the name IMHO those HP bars would look a lot better without the dark outline it just stands out way to much. They really should get rid of the line - it's a great idea Funny how nobody ever complained about the line around skulls, though: They should make it's lines a little brighter, black never blends. But the HP bars really need the lines removed! Actually, a friend of mine suggested they make the HP bars have antialiasing, like the new splats. I guess MS Paint-ers won't be doing combat fakes anymore :o Maybe I should bring my hippie digger next time I visit Birmhaven. Never did I expect the day that I would see something like that in RuneScape. I shall have nightmares for months :shock: the new hitpoints bar and splats are downright ugly. they look like something out of a cartoon, making the game look even more unrealistic. it reminds me of pokemon... Meh You can start worrying when you hear continuous warning bells at 25% hp That always annoyed the hell out of me. Ironically, in any other game that does it, I'd barely get to hear the sound before I'm already dead :?. Hey, wait a second... Turn your volume up and get very low HP in RS: the heart icon starts flashing, and you hear a continuous heartbeat :o I was trying to get all my combat stats up to 3 on Tutorial Island (you can't die), and I eventually just muted it because I was annoyed by the sound. So they do have a warning for it already. Panic mode = on :o Fake Awards:(The large number is the amount of awards I have gotten; only 8 are shown above. Click to see all of them.)
May 29, 200917 yr Lol at fakes and such. I liked this update. Old hp bar was ancient, and the new one is fine after you get used to it. I think healing hitsplats would be awesome. Good job Jagex, now more quests! :thumbup: Check out Monkeybillio's Blog of Mediocrity (07 Zerker with drop challenges)

Good job Jagex, now more quests! :thumbup: Thanks, I'm definitely addicted to faking Most my stats are nooby (thanks to major inactivity), but I am working on getting a 99: Still a long way to go, though What color do you think a heal splat should be? My friend said purple. I think white, or possibly Saradomin blue, would probably be good. I may actually try faking my own version of a healing splat soon Fake Awards:(The large number is the amount of awards I have gotten; only 8 are shown above. Click to see all of them.)
May 29, 200917 yr I'm loving the new hitpoints bar and hitsplats...Great stuff \ No, it looks awful. I mean the old one was basic, but this looks both generic and cheesy. I feel like I'm playing Mortal Kombat on my SNES with this crap. Before it looked like coral was randomly appearing on the characters, at least the blood splat and shield have distinctive looks that tell you what happened, also poison looks freaking sweet : . New world map aint bad either, tbh these are patches but at least they are pretty and distracting patches to distract me till the next quest :? . http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22 99 Necromancy since 11/22/25 Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 33 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 10 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots

May 29, 200917 yr The pokemon bar only looks the same in shape. The RS bar is better coloured and shaded. And now it would be a copy from pokemon only because of the shape? Right... Twitter ||| Google+ ||| Facebook ||| LinkedIn ||| My very interesting weblog about science

May 29, 200917 yr I'm loving the new hitpoints bar and hitsplats...Great stuff \ No, it looks awful. I mean the old one was basic, but this looks both generic and cheesy. I feel like I'm playing Mortal Kombat on my SNES with this crap. what is wrong with you? i mean seriously do u have a problem with the game actually gettting better? i hate people who have nothing better to do with their time so that when updates come out they bash them no matter what. Generic? How do u get more generic than a green block.... =D> and the splats change although minor makes it look more polished, like Jagex had taken time with it instead of rushing. The bars are now bigger and more representative of how much hp is left so that helps too. why would u even compare rs to other games what are u trying to prove? ppl say alot well rs now looks more like WoW hmm okay so Jagex should try to make a crappy game instead of a great looking and fun game like WoW. its a competition after all... btw the old bars look more like SNES u idiot thats y they are so pixelated and sharp while new bars are smooth and more colorful. tell u what why dont all u haters start bashing the GE system, the anti-RWT updates and all of the other recent graphical updates just because u hate change and progress, criticizing Jagex for trying to make a better game for YOU. :shame: gf
May 29, 200917 yr I like the new looks of the damage splats and spam filter, and the dungeon maps are certainly something useful, considering I get lost a lot sometimes in dungeons and underground areas.
May 29, 200917 yr Woops. Many believe that the 1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens was a catostrophic geological event, in reality it was the day that Jimi Hendrix returned to Earth from the next world and actually stood up next to a mountain and chopped it down with the edge of his hand.-Random Youtuber
May 31, 200917 yr Funny how I was just thinking that the hp bars could use an update. I love it. Its funny because I was just thinking how there are about 50,000 other things in rs that could use an update before the hp bar, which nobody seemed to have a problem with before. http://www.runehead.com/clans/personal. ... clan=tipit

Its funny because I was just thinking how there are about 50,000 other things in rs that could use an update before the hp bar, which nobody seemed to have a problem with before. Well, sure there is, but I'm sure there are people working on those things too, just that the first thing that was done was the HP bar, so it came out first. There will always be a team to work on graphics, if you removed that, well...then we should all go back to playing text based rpgs. ~Dan : 1437 : 173Lowest Combat to 1,000 Total in F2P (23 Combat)Check me out on YouTube!
May 31, 200917 yr I must say that these updates are a bit... light. The spam filter and Hp bar update really were not needed in any way shape or form. The dungeon maps are useful, particularly for new players, but the fact that some are not up yet slightly mars the update. Furthermore, those garish up and down arrows on my mini-map are driving me nuts. This was not what I had in mind when I first heard upgrade year. If the CORPORAL beast is this hard, imagine how hard a GENERAL or COLONEL beast would be. a corporal is not even an admirable rank in armies that use that ranking system. Yeah, it is a pking minigame, so any arguments anybody makes will probably be biased.The best way this will end :Everybody just says,"I'm not arguing with you anymore, goodbye."The worst way this will end: I don't really know, psychological warfare? Worldwide thermonuclear war? Pie eating contest?
