I'm disappointed in you jagex. You were on a roll with the nomad update, christmas update, temple of senntisten curses, and now we have this.

 

Plus you removed all the useful attack bonuses on the helms. Fighter hat used to be +5 stab/slash/crush and now it's gone! We don't need another identical defense item to rune helm or some other generic defense helm! Other items have also been changed to just have defense and be more generic.

 

You've got to be kidding me.... They took away the stats of the only useful barbarian assault helms just so it can have defence bonuses and a useless set effect? There's no need for them to change the armor. I would only dislike this update instead of hate it if they gave all the original stat bonuses back to the penance armor.

I still see the news archive link o_o

Well I can tell you haven't clicked it.

High gamble appears to be of even less value then it was before. Before I used to get stuff like 50-60 teak or mahogany planks, or like 20k cash or something. So far I've gotten 4 strawberry seeds for one gamble and 3 emeralds for another. Granted, it only costs 30 points now, but still, my queen kill should be worth more than that.

Hrm, the staff seems rather useless, If I was forced to use a 2-handed staff, I'd rather use a TokTz-Mej-Tal, as it serves as a decent melee weapon, as well as lookin' awesome, to boot.

BA and it's respective rewards will fade back into obscruity it a week or so don't you worry about that. ;)

Ugh, what was Jagex thinking adding yet ANOTHER small fix to the whip? Don't they know from experience by now that every slight change to weapons especially the whip makes their price go topsy-turvy? Seriously, whips are at 6-7m street already, and for what? a color change option? it's not like Jagex wants these prices the way they are, I understand that, it's all the fault of merchants who will use any excuse to hyperprice items they have stocked. I'm sure there are merchants out there with a stack of 50-100 whips just waiting for an excuse to supervalue them. I really think whips should be left alone by now, they have probably undergone the most updates and price fluctuations of all weapons in the game.

I agree but just wait a day or two till people realize it's stupid to pay 3m extra than ge price just to get a color change.

After getting level 5 in every role after release I can't stand BA anymore.. I want all those horn points or whatever I would have gotten :(

For once in my life I feel like playing BA :mellow:. What is happening to me...

 

Still, I want to check out all the new rewards and stuff, so I might as well play a game or two ^.^

I wonder what the max exp is for the horn. I need that double mining exp.

 

<3: the update

Yeah, I'd really like to see some tests of the new Penance Horn to find out how much experience you can get from it (when full), and to see if it's based off uses (such as burning a log, mining a rock, passing an obstacle) or if it's based off experience, so that it is done when you've gained a certain amount of experience with it. I presume it's the latter, since Jagex said it's similar to SC Tools.

 

But, how will it stack with other items? Will Mining with the Penance Horn stack with SC Pickaxes, and Brawler Gloves as well? That would be some pretty epic experience. Has anyone tried this, or have seen/heard of anyone trying this? I haven't been able to do much on RS, so haven't been able to go BA my heart out to get the Penance Horn.

research is happening as we speak. im assuming that: the normal horn takes 5 games to fill and master takes 10, since 2 games with master says just under quarter, adn 1 with normal says just under quarter

What I don't get is why merchants think that this update will make anyone apart from price speculators who does not already own a whip, decide to buy one lol. I might sell mine for max then buy it back after the crash, if they aren't crashing already.

Well of course research is happening as we speak, as it is with every new update. It's more of, I know some people have already tested it out quite a bit, and just stating a few things. So it's just a matter of time and patience to find out some results. Runescape Wikia said that at Ape Atoll with the horn, you can gain 350k experience. However... That's Runescape Wikia, and they fail with updates.

And yeah, the reason for people buying out whips is complete nonsense. People trying to make some money off of them bought them out, and then after that, nobody will want to buy any. Basically, the demand goes up for people trying to make money, but nobody has demand for the color, so it's the merchants that are making the price go up. After they're done buying out, they begin to realize that nobody wants to buy them besides other merchants, and they begin to crash. I give it a day or two at most. I wouldn't get involved, unless, as you said Aneron, just selling your whip and waiting for it to crash to make a bit of money off of just one whip.

Been using Penance set for this Treasure Trail... Just put it on in between Uri emote locations, lol.

I wish it wasn't so ugly though...

And now the helmets are useless. WOE!

 

Ah well at least the whips look neat.

Which brings up another point...

JaGEx must finally be acknowledging that Abyssal Whips are (with the exception of 3 weapons from GWD) the only good best weapons in the game by releasing new colors for just them... <_<

according to this guy he got 96k TOTAL experience from 1 full round of barbarian assault (waves 1-10)

He thinks that the horn stores 900k xp total

I'm inclined to believe 1 mil as it's a nice number

That or maybe the number is exactly 1048575 (binary ftw)

either way if this guy's data is accurate it's roughly 100k xp for 10 waves, perhaps depending on class

This is useful if u don't have access to high lvl agility courses (IE ur below 40 agility)

also useful if u can get into an experienced barb team that demolishes all 10 waves in under 40 minutes

 

ASSUMING this data is correct of course

what of mining and fm? im assuming like sc hammer for example its diff for diff skills

 

if its flat rate for all 3 its useless for fm, its its balanced it should be

 

100k per game mine, 1m total, now this is 100 waves and no easy task so this 1m xp is earned, its realy only 500k xp gained

 

100k per game agility, 1m total

 

fm, around 300k per game, or like 1k logs, and abuot 3m total or 10k logs something like that

White Whip is super. It looks so good when paired with Void set.

 

I might as well get all the stuff. I have nothing better to do, and I sorta enjoy this game.

 

Jagex needs to release MORE CUSTOMIZABLE THINGS. I've always wanted to dye my Ringermaster hat. I'm sure there would be a lot of other popular things that could be done.

Black Zamorak Godsword!! :^_^:

... Black whip was too kinky for JaGEx... :mellow:

The first thing this reminded me of:

 

 

Not quite sure why. :oops:

I just [bleep]ing lol'd irl.

 

Imo this update was sort of a waste when they could have sparked more life into Barb Assault...

Like say more waves, new monsters, etc.

oh, yes, that old mechanic of dyeing capes and goblin armours, and paining your armour...

 

but no one paints their armour, you say. Of course, dur, what member wears rune?

The only problem I'm having is finding a reliable COMPETENT team. Using the waiting room that asigns you a team is slow if you want to choose your role and the best I've ever started on is Wave 2. Not to mention, as soon as the Wave is over (whether you win or not), everyone bails and you have to go back. Also, it seems like no one really understands how BA works. Its frustrating to waste 10 minutes only to gain like 3 points because everyone else failed at their jobs. Anyone got any suggestions? I'm a decent player, 130+ Combat, 97 HP. Working on Leveling up Roles atm. Level 5 Defender, Level 3 Healer and Level 2 Attacker/Collector. I'd like to speed up this process, because its already frustrating as it is. Are there any known Clans that operate at BA around the clock?
