Sorry, but on the girl character that animation looks like you just had a particularly heavy "flow."

 

And KISS, pures suck. Jagex has stated since practically the beginning of the game, around the time Guthix did God letters, that they don't approve of pures and don't program their game for them.

 

Let's see a quote from the source then, or you can retract that. most people know full well that jagex has made next to no serious confirmed derogatory statements about pures.

 

Dear Zamorak

 

For the "pure" with no magic with member it is very hard to get to deep members areas without walking very far. Could you do something for us pures who are dying from walking too much?

Pures are an abomination to me, for they shun the thing that they should seek to find: Balance in all things.

Thou make thy pleas to the wrong god, for all true followers of Guthix hate these so called 'pures' for their ignorance of the power that can be found in balance.

Thou deservest to walk until thy very feet are raw with effort, for ignoring my teachings and trying to become something that thou shouldst not. When my plans are unfurled, 'pures' will be the very first to suffer of all the creatures of this world.

God letters 13. Back then we were talking about how this was Jagex telling people that they didn't like Pures and we were right back then.

After 2 full rounds of BA, my master horn was still only "nearly a quarter full".

When everything's been said and done, more has been said than done.

Two full rounds as in all 10 waves?

And hopefully that just means you can store a ton of exp on it? Because I don't think it has to be full before you can start using it.

I still stand by what I said. If jagex really disliked pures they would do like with merchanting clans and flat out condemn them - or try and destroy them through game updates, which many people claim they do.

I'm not defending pures by any means, most of them are immature and make problems whatever they do but jagex has changed a lot scince the god letters. if they really hated pures so much they wouldn't be in the game anymore.

Yes, all 10 waves.

You're also right this info is of little use without knowing how long it lasts. :P

I don't care what they do to Barbarian Assault. I cannot achieve any defender points over 50. I have thrown my hands up, hung my head in shame, and let those little Pennance Running jerkfaces run to their heart's content unchecked.

 

I hate the defender role.

 

Everything else sounds cool. Though I can't for the life of me figure out why they keep messing with the Abyssal Whip--it had just gotten to the perfect color pallet (it looked like the Abyssal Demon color scheme) and animations!

Jagex doesn't comdemn them. They simply don't approve of them and will not make changes to the game to compromise for their needs. They don't out and out want to eradicate them. They simply will be subject to the changes they make because of the way they limit themselves.

I used to hate the defender role, then I read a guide on it once that I thought was posted on this forum, but I can't seem to find it. That guide makes defender almost the easiest role ever. Maybe sometime I'll find the time and write a new guide replicating the strategy.

 

Anyhow, I still haven't gotten on to play it, but I must say I'm looking forward to camping at BA for quite sometime! My favorite minigame, and now I have something to work for.

I wonder if afk training with the new penance outfit is possible with protect from melee prayer lol.

For 3 Prayer points a minute? Nope, not really.

Good luck getting the prayer drain down to below 3 a minute, especially since you have to be wearing helm, torso, legs, boots, and gloves. Actually I don't think 3 draining a minute from pro melee would even be possible with max prayer bonus.

 

If you want almost total AFK training, leave your dude in bandit camp with full guthans, zammy cape, and RoL just in case. Or, better still, you could just use the zombie monkey method which requires you to check back on your char like once every few minutes. Probably less now with SW cape.

Something JagEx should add is a waiting room priority thing for the random team room like they have in other mini games, because some people who just walk in get on a team straight away yet other can be waiting there for ages. I was waiting about 20 minutes until I finally joined a team and then someone quit straight away :wall:

It's a fun game with friends, but when you're part of a team made up of people you don't know generally it doesn't go well :razz:

"Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale."


You'd have to get the drain under 3 PP a minute. Even with SW Cape, Fally shield, White Gloves, Stole, Explorer's Ring, and a D Mace I don't think that's possible.

When you go feather dragon god, you never go back.

Ok, the ranger hat still has a negative range attack <_<

 

I feel kind of scammed too, I have all 4 hats but they have the same stats...

Yeah, that is kind of disappointing. If anything I feel these should have been changed to different stats rather than the torso getting its strength bonus back.

same goes for runner boots too. For those who don't want to waste time getting a migraine for the full set they are useless. It's a real shame.

Yeah, you're right. The longest 1 Prayer point lasts even with max bonus is almost 9 seconds.

OMG is that Commie Ring able to be displayed outside BA? If it is, how do I get it?

SWAG

 

Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.

Never played BA before, since the monsters looks...........weird.

Some of the original monsters that Jagex came up with for this game have some of the weirdest looks as well. Monsters from BA and PC looks like something that lives on Mars.

 

And since I don't play the game, can someone explain to me what exactly is the link between abyssal whips and Penance eggs? Do those penance monsters come from the same plane as Abby Demons? If there's no link, II think that the favouritsm over this weapon has gone a little overboard. :unsure: The penance equipment were obviously not very useful to me, seeing that i survived the game without ever needing it, nor knowing its exact stats.

 

This update doesn't seem very amazing except for the horn that increase Agility EXP, which is similar to Stealing Creation tools: Cut down training time and spend on doing something fun (if you like the minigame). I just checked the stats of the Penance equipment, and once again Jagex has stuck to the silly tradition of making every single armour set that requires 40 def have exactly the same stats. Not even a variation by lowering bonuses in one and shifting it to another. :angry: The prayer set effect is almost obsolete since the penance set has no prayer bonus, meaning that I 'recover' more prayer wearing prosetyle and skills capes than wearing this, gaining 3 prayer points per minute, but nothing comparable to the rate at which I'm losing points.

 

I wonder how many people are willing to trade the 10% damage bonus and +15 Magic attack of Ahrims staff/Ancient Staff for this trident that comes with +17 Magic attack, no damage bonus, negligible rune saving ability and a special attack of unknown success rate....

 

Just a change to one set of armour in the game, and you see an onslaught of ranters on RSOF. I should buy some popcorn on the day Jagex "rebalances the combat triangle". =D>

In other news, they finally added Norwegian forums :D Been waiting for that since they had a norwegian mod join the team a few weeks ago =)

Lol the master horn is awesome. It allows you to easily show what you are lvl 5 in with the emote, love that feature, no more typing to advertise my mastery of healing and defending. Only one more lvl to go for attacker too!

I'm also glad that high gamble points went down so much, though since it still needs a queen kill I won't be using it for quite some time. It'll be great for when I'm gathering potential on the horn, however. One or two waves to get points to high gamble, the rest to store potential then use queen kill to high gamble.
