Alright i want to make this thread because Mobilising Armies is becoming a annoyance. So i wanted to bring some attention towards it and hope that it might make Jagex see this and that more players will go towards Mobilising armies so that we all can get those great rewards.

 

 

 

 

 

For those of you who have not been to the minigame it is a strategy game.

 

 

 

To start a game you need 20 players, and when game started 4 players will fight against eachother in a "Mode":

 

 

 

- They each get 10 squads

 

- The clan chat is covered with minigame related messages (Probably to prevent players working together)

 

- You need 20 players and 5 games are started when you got that many. Where there will be 4 players fighting each other in a mode.

 

 

 

From there based on what mode you have you gotta use your squads to win the game. Example i play Siege mode, which means me and everyone else is to break the wall of a Castle that is in middle of the map to win.

 

 

 

Anyhow the problem is, there is far to few players playing this minigame. Even in the ONLY world for Mobilising armies, there is not enough players to start games for everyone. If you are in the waiting room and finally you get 20 players, if you don't get chosen to start game within that wave of games you will have to wait more.

 

 

 

The ranks you get is +2 for winning and +1 for losing. That's very little if you compare it to the popularity of the minigame. Because it's slow to start games and when you do and finish a game you get slow ranks.

 

 

 

The minigame needs fixing.

 

 

 

Fast_Ma

 

Fast_Ma is a clan chat that have been made by someone (I do not know who) and it is a chat similar to SC non-combat, barriers, pickpocketing clan chat groups such as Sc_Claymates/Smooth_sc/Fast_sc.

 

 

 

We work together and there is 4 team colours:

 

Red, Blue, Green and Yellow.

 

 

 

Blue always wins>It's random who gets on what colour team

 

 

 

Red, Green and Yellow sends all of their squads to South-West wall of the castle in Siege mode. From there we all have our squads in same spot. Then once timer hits 26 minute we kill eachother all off with special units called "Cannons" (They hit anything withing their direction).

 

 

 

That way Blue team gets a win, and rest of us gets a 4minute game =+1 rank. Usually if you do it in the THEMED world the game could last over 6 minutes and you still get +1 rank only.

 

 

 

Fast_Ma have some good players trying to make the chat work, but it's not always easy. Often un-cooperative players join chat for no reasons and don't listen.

 

 

 

If you want to join Fast_Ma check my signature, but please read the guide by Meto1000 before you come so that you have some info on how we play the game.

 

 

 

I hope this post does not get moved or closed. I understand there little discussion value but it would be great help to everyone if this stayed here so that others could see it.

So, you made this topic to advertise the clan chat?

Is that so wrong? There is absolutely no active clans doing Mobilising armies at the moment. Even the Themed world have far to few players.

I think this should be on the guides section, not general discussion :|

It's not a guide.

Mobilising Armies was far too overrated to begin with.

 

 

 

Everyone was anticipating it as if it would be the best minigame ever created, then it blew up right in their faces. IMO strategy games like this does not belong in Runescape, there's another game for that which name I will not mention.

The rewards however is not overrated \

This.

 

 

 

And only a few good rewards which seem like they were added last minute just to try and lure a few more players to it.

(qcbubble) My rank is 313.

 

 

 

should have went in first week it was packed =P

 

and yea its overrated and everyone hates it blah blah blah

I really like MA and enjoyed playing it when it came out. The other problem for me, and others too as I can imagine, is that I won't ever play because I never find time to play minigames; I'd rather be skilling/slaying.

 

On occasion, when I find myself bored, I'll play minigames; except SC is still number one for me .

I love how people were flaming Jagex for not releasing it quickly enough.

It isn't a very fun minigame, so people don't bother playing it. Simple as that.

I don't think you can say that, cause some people do like to play it.

 

 

 

And I can't really say if it is fun or not cause I only played 1 game or so.

True. But for rewards players should play it :thumbup:

And now nobody plays it! They'll whine about that next.

It's a Team Suicide game, on the official world after the fix I came back after shopping, logged back in lagged as soon as I logged in around 500 players outside the entrance, Mod Nexus was there (the guy who's walk/run speed varies during updates).

 

 

 

Anyway longstory short because I'm blabbering, He said Jagex *Could/might* add future game modes or improvements.

 

 

 

This minigame might be a test in my opinion though, like Puropuro and implings were a test for summoning seeing if it could handle alot of free roaming familiars, I think this will open doors to future content it was an experiment sadly like Frankenstien Ma is horribly wrong but i'm sure with further refinement could be great.

 

 

 

Castle Wars had it's flaws at first but they kept making changes, so I guess it will be the case with this too.

The goal is for people to get quickly to rank 300 so they can buy imbued rings (onyx, warrior, seers, archer)...

 

 

 

I play it too, but I am planning to go for rank 400... Reason for this is that you can then play with level 5 units, and hence level 5 games... Those are the best as you can explore with 10 light dwarf units for all of the game and they will find numerous rune ores that way (i'm guesstimating they can find 25-30 runite ors in 30 mintes with 10 squads)...

I'd rather not waste 20 hours grinding away at a boring minigame just for an extra +4 to some of my stats

I'd rather not waste 20 hours grinding away at a boring minigame just for an extra +4 to some of my stats

 

Onyx ring:

 

+6 in all stats expect prayer bonus and strength bonus

 

 

 

Cost for ring: 2.4M

 

Good for monsters that's pretty safe but still require defence. Mithril dragons for example.

 

 

 

Dragonstone ring:

 

+5 in all stats expect prayer bonus and strength bonus

 

Cost for ring: 32K

 

Good for GWD and other deadly areas because of the cheap price.

 

 

 

and the list goes on...

 

 

 

The rewards are great expect the clothing. So if you don't like it i understand, but you must admit the rewards are great.

haha ya I was like "wow this game is popular." But then after the first week and having no clue on how to beat siege I decided to stop playing. Apperently I wasn't the only one lol.

Fast_Ma clan chat is currently doing good. We need few more players but it's going pretty good! :)

I played it, one of the 3 that got Fast Ma running. I personally think the mini-game is..useless. Yes, the rewards are okay in my opinion, but I'm sure you as an avid monster hunter will find more use in these things that I find useless. I'm unsure of the numbers attending Ma currently, but really rank 300 is where people stop. If they even decide to play for 30+ hours for that. I hope it's tweaked in the future, to make it an attractive mini-game rather than one that's simply grinding at something that's really not enjoyable.

I think Ive seen you SirH a couple of times. I'd like it if the cc was more full too, but I feel that whenever I play a minigame, its noobed after I finish getting the reward I set out to get. So I'll try it in a couple days.

Personally i think Jagex did right to try a new minigame type (Strategy). But like someone said, it seems like a experiment on their side.

 

 

 

However i find the rewards GREAT. So for those rewards i want Fast_Ma clan chat:

 

 

 

- To be played fair (Like Sc_Claymates)

 

- To be a place to go to for fast ranks and nice people

 

- To make the minigame fun while you are

 

 

 

So i help out leaders and advertise/remind players of Fast_Ma clan chat group.

True. But for rewards players should play it :thumbup:

 

I play games for fun.
