dugeoeering is ersatz! :(

[Low C]

Dungeoneering should be enjoyed for its content, not if it's more so a mini-game or such. It has great potential and I'd wait till batch 2 is released before ranting about the cap being only 69.

[Fairness]

Engineering skill?

 

You may have misheard Dungeoneering. Get a hearing aid.

 

Your point about it being a minigame is valid, but it's otherwise solid, with a few minor flaws and even fewer major flaws. My main gripe with the game is that gearing up is usually pointless since everything about the skill favors grabbing food then rushing through the place.

Long before name Dungeoneering ever existed there were rumors an speculations about a new upcoming skill called Engineering.

 

I love that new mini-game Dungeoneering, as a mini-game it is top class! :) And it is F2p! What I i don't like is that it is named a skill...

[Alg]

Does it really matter what it's called as long as it's fun to play?

Never got what the big deal was about whether or not it's a skill. It's part of the game, that's really all that matters.

[Bouwzie]

Are you trying to speak German in your title? As it is ist, not is then :) Also, chill people about the English.

Ersatz is a borrowed word and can be found in English dictionaries. It means like an inferior substitute or something like that.

How would I know English isn't your mother tongue? I'm very critical of people who have English as their mother tongue but write it even worse than non-native speakers - they're a disgrace to the language.

 

I am not a native English (or American/Australian/what have you) speaker for that matter, so if I can write English of a certain standard so can you.

 

 

language is the tool, not the master

 

dont be a knob abt it

 

Let's see you drill a hole in a diamond with a wooden peg.

And my dear friend, it's pretty obvious when you're intentionally not replying because you lack any solid arguments.

 

Let me ask you - are there maps of dungeons/magical areas (e.g. rune ess mine) in the MAIN RuneScape map? No. So following this logic they're separate from the MAIN game. So are dungeoneering's dungeons.

Yup, this is quiet international word. It is used even in estonian language.

most local-ish European languages draw heavily on other European languages.

 

OT as my earlier post wasn't at all: Its good content, I'll play it. However, I'm a little disappointed that its our long awaited skill, when it clearly has many traits of a mini-game. Ultimately though its jagex's game, and their choice.

awful, floored analogy is awfully floored

 

your communication skills aren't really up to scratch yourself tbh; all the words are in the right places - but i've yet to see you post anything of value, just a pile of pathetic attempts to 'intellectually' e-bully

 

ot - i dislike all 'new' skills out of habit, i'll probably get round to trying it out in a few months when someone points out one of the rewards are fun/useful and then i'll grind for it and sicken myself before reaching my goal - its all good ;)

Can we have just one rant that doesn't devolve into Grammar Nazism? Seriously, it adds nothing and just makes you look like an [wagon] with nothing real to say.

This makes no sense at all. If the 'main' game is defined by what the 'main' map says then most quests and skills take place largely outside of the main game.

I ask you - how exactly is this a "mini" game? It's downright massive! 35 floors of varying size, complexity, and difficulty, 18 different bosses, hundreds, maybe even thousands of different items involved with it, possibly all of that except maybe the items to be DOUBLED within a month or two with batch 2 - and you call this a "mini" game? Gnome ball is a mini game. This is NOT a mini game.

youre right its an activity :rolleyes:

 

Jagex said it was going to be its own game to begin with, and with how it currently is, I think it should have stayed that way.

Over time, Im sure It'll become a good skill though.

[K4ylan]

I still don't see why skills can't be minigames. Just cause you can't grind it to 99 in 3 days does not mean it isn't still a skill.

Imagine Castle Wars a skill. We'd be flooded with 99's in that.

Then it's by far the most massive, fun "activity" they've ever released. Though people Qeltar won't even give it that. :rolleyes:

the portions of the game formerly known as minigames.

[Alg]

I'm pretty sure he would give it the massive part. Just not the fun part. Which is just about the same response as a lot of others would say.

[Saunamajuri]

Making the skill into a minigame like is actually one of the major reasons why it is so damn fun skill.

[Roz]

Doesn't really matter whether its a skill or a mini-game; yeah you may lose some overall ranks, but you are limiting yourself. If you don't enjoy it, don't play it.

Explain how? Easy to spout [cabbage] without backing it up.

 

You talk about things of value when all you spout is [cabbage] and a few occasional valid points. Talk about hypocrisy. Oh I'm so sorry, you're entitled to your own opinion after all...

I've made many posts where no one has even rebutted. Talking about actual arguments, I've wrote a lot more than you. All you've done is express your opinion, which is fine, but don't try to attack people for not posting anything "real" if you haven't done much of it yourself.

 

"MOST" quests and skills? I think you got it the other way round.

 

Anyway, I'll rephrase. Dungeoneering occurs in its own dungeon, but it does affect the main game, economically. It's rewards might be limited in effect but people are driven to train to do better in Dungeoneering, affecting the economy. I heard somewhere that air runes' prices had increased recently. I'm not sure about this though.

Actually, it really only made big effects on the day of release.

 

Since then, prices are reverting back to normal.

 

Iron ores plunged to about 240gp on release day (it's usually 260-275gp), but are slowly rising back up now.

Still, it must have some sort of economical effect. For example sights on range, bonecrusher on prayer, etc. Even as you say its initial "excitement" effect is over, the rewards' effect probably have not come into effect (pardon the pun) yet, as they require quite a lot of training to attain.

 

Wow, this reminds me of how long I haven't mined iron to sell...last time I was selling iron ores for 100gp or so per piece...

[Cheefoo]

Remember rumored Engineering skill?

No. That was an april fools joke on Tip It.

Canceling of Mechcape on bad time

They didn't cancel Mechscape.

economical crisis

It makes me laugh when someone says "the economy is all bad" as if they have any idea what's going on.

loss of members and players and now this...

Where do you pull this information out from?

To me it feels that real skill project is failed somehow and to fullfill promises Jagex did changed upcoming mini game to be a skill.

Dungeoneering fits all the criteria that they've been hinting at for year(s) now.

 

I honestly don't see why people are dissapointed. What skill were you expecting? Sailing?
