2nd September 2009 - Shops, RuneTek5, Autocasting, Patches

[Tim]

Whats irritable, is now theres NO use for "Magic Staff" and "Staff" in F2P. the only decent function to those was Auto-Cast feature and Looking like an old man with a walking stick for the normal "Staff". Shame F2P didnt get a 10% staff though, the magic is realy bad there in higher combats.

they talked about sky colors in the runetek5 thing, but i havent seen anything but fog. im guessing this isnt going to happen right away?

 

 

 

im still trying to decide if i like the custom cursors...theres to many of them that are used for uneccesary things, like switching to a different bank tab.

Yeah, it was with the bloom lighting and particle effects.

 

 

 

They said they were going to release those over the coming months.

I like the cursor, but I don't like all the little icons it changes to. :lol: It's a bit distracting, and it annoys me in combat. Had to turn it off.

Game crashes whenever I load a new area of the map... this happening to anyone else?

[Overdoziz]

I like most of the update but the ground blending on SD just looks horrible. I'm happy I can still change it to the old settings :)

[Danqazmlp]

Hi.

 

 

 

Has anyone mentioned it yet? The equipment stat window lists Magic Damage under Other Bonuses. Does that mean jagex is planning to make more mage weapons that give various increases to spell damage?

 

 

 

Did they finaly do away with the magic damage cap?

 

 

 

 

 

Didn't think about that, i hope they do. Maybe they could finally make mage void worthwhile?

 

 

 

SoulAttacker, i havn't heard of anybody else having the problem, maybe try the Tech area of the RSOF.

i get horrible lag anytime moving to a new area

[Emmentail]

On HD for me the screen just goes black for a few seconds whenever I move into a new area. Went back to SD Fixed screen.

[Lap]

I hope the "stop" that affects your character gets fixed soon. It really is annoying while walking around any dangerous area and getting hit all the time.

[santareaper]

Runescape is running smoother than ever for me, and I have a really weak Graphics card (can't run HD). GJ Jagex.

 

 

 

Though clicking, using, equipping items etc. is pretty laggy, Hopefully they'll be patched up soon.

 

 

 

It's lagging more than ever for me, and I, too, have a weak graphics card.

 

 

 

Yeah it's lagging more then ever for me also, I thought this update was suppose to make HD run smoother and SD look better, They made HD laggy, SD laggy, And added some meh graphic options.. -.-

Yay for nerfing Jad with the new game engine! Now I can't do fight caves... Just after I bought all of the supplies.

What is a challenge if you can have your hand held while undertaking it? It's up to you to adapt to the change or just go without the cape.

Don't think you understand...Prayer switching has been slowed down, meaning he'll sometimes hit you even if you've put up the right prayer. Thats not a challenge, thats impossible. Unless you're telling me you can kill jad without prayer?

That's dumb. You're defending a move that has basically removed part of the quality of the game, and that's apparently a good thing.

 

 

 

"Oh, so you don't have a monitor? Suck it up, fight Jad without it or play another game."

 

 

 

"So what if you don't have any hands? You should be able to do it with your feet. This other guy did it. Why can't you?"

 

 

 

"The server's down? That shouldn't be an excuse. Go buy a plane ticket right now, fly down to Cambridge, and start kicking some staff members in the groin until you get that fire cape. What are you sitting there for? Get off your [wagon]!"

Let's be realistic, though. He's killed jad dozens of times with dozens of methods. For most people, just killing him the regular way is a challenge, and now thanks to Jagex you have to be really lucky and hope the prayer doesn't take too long to switch over.

 

 

 

No matter what, Jagex has broken a LOT of the game by adding this so called improvement of an engine. They've lagged their game, all the colors in the item avatars are dull now and some items are off center (take a look at the scarecrow) and the time it takes to harvest herbs and fruits has nearly doubled. These are only just a few examples, but the game is actually broken right now in many aspects, and I am astounded that they aren't either fixing it asap or going back to Runetek4 while they work the kinks out of 5.

 

 

 

If it weren't for the fact that I want 99 Farming, I'd probably have cancelled by subscription by now. With each update it's getting more annoying and more annoying to play alongside all these bugs they keeps letting into the game.

[guzoliub]

What about the problem of clicking on a monster to attack it. Am I the only one having it?

 

 

 

I had several very annoying slayer tasks, basically waiting for the monster to attack me to be able to retaliate.

 

 

 

When I try to attack the monster I almost never have a red cross (attack) and instead have a yellow (move) and that is when I click right onto it's body. The same happens when I try to order a summon to attack - I miss.

[Barihawk]

You mean the strongest monster in the game for solo play which was designed to be almost impossible to beat in the first place but was so abused with safespots and handicaps that it's associated status symbol became a joke is now actually more difficult and that's not fair? :o

[Aslan]

Do you even know what's it about?The game engine lags when you switch prayers,making it impossible to be able to defend on time even with perfect knowledge about how you get attacked.

It's not supposed to be easy though. You just have to have quicker reactions now, which is perfectly fine because Jad was too easy in the first place.

And in a week the tactics will shift, five guides will be written, and new ways to bypass learning how to do it for yourself will be read by monster hunters everywhere.

[Aslan]

I couldn't care less about Jad.Sp mages are important to me and I can't pray flick there due to the same lag that affects Jad.

[chris1216]

The click lag is killing me. Bank screen, magic tab, everything.

[Maximusa]

I still seem to experience a slight problem with the mouse/menus. Been runecrafting and its more evident that it keeps pausing. I have to slow down or I misclick. (No problems a while ago..)

 

 

 

Its only very slight but enough to make me misclick. Its not as bad as it used to be though.. Before it literally kinda just did whatever it wanted. Now its just takes a while to keep up and seems to be more of a menu slowness.

 

 

 

Idk its do-able. I turned their cursor off and everything else that isnt click intensive is fine. Im guessing there wont be a fix for this as it does technically work.
