21-April-10 Slayer Challenges

It'll likely be the case that a Jad task is much more worthwhile than a Duradel "slayer tower crawl."

[Racheya]

Well yeah, I guess that makes sense. So if you want a specific challenge you'll have to use the right slayer master, but I don't imagine a lot of people would do that. I think the idea is to get challenges for your normal slaying, rather than actually aiming to get a challenge.

 

People will do that because they'll want to see what the exp for the challenges is like....... and most people cba with kuradals one of killing Jad....... So it could be a good option.

Maybe at first, but after the 'new update' period has settled down, I don't think people will use a specific slayer master JUST for the challenge unless the xp turns out to be worth it.

Aye, I do agree with that. Could be interesting to find out what the exp is like though tbf :)

A new bank NPC near Musa Point can now convert your fish into bank notes, which should prove quite useful.

 

 

Throwing a bone to the free players - I like it.

[EFG]

Awesome. A new slayer update. As someone who already has 99 slayer, but still likes the skill.. I might think about doing a bit of slayer for these new updates. Hell, I still need 3 summoning levels for 99.

 

Kuradel. Hmm. Nope. Guess I'm not doing any slayer.

[Obtaurian]

I'm definitely getting an arcane stream necklace before I get a bonecrusher.

[gspbeetle]

Bone grinder here I come! Bandits + free prayer exp = awesome while preparing for my final exam :(

[Dire_Wolf]

My predictions on the market:

 

Spirit shields going down.

Farming seeds going up.

 

Anyone agree on this?

No. The Elysian might take a minuscule hit, but the Divine is decidedly superior to any of these shields, and is much cheaper to use and maintain.

That has been needed for over 4 years now. Glad they finally snapped to their senses.

Good update. I can afford ToF and BC within the first... 70 levels? Still, better then nothing - I can't wait to try them both out.

 

The voices, imo, they're good. But when I played, whenever it said "You swing your pick at the rock", she'd say it, and honestly that was annoying. I hope we can change our character's voice. I sounded like an idiot.

[Guthorm]

Not a huge update, is just that every slayer master will offer an unique challenge to players.

 

PS: Did anybody notice that they updated voice to the player too? What does your RS character sound like. o.O?

I know, I am still curious to what does your character sounds like. You bet one day they will add voices to everyone and I am trying to get a feel to it.

[Den]

Glad it isnt a big update since I have an exam tomorrow I need to study for. :P

[Unknown_Warrior]

The avatar's voice was the worst of all, to be frank. Then in order:

 

Guide lady > Sir Vant > Goblin > Roddeck > Squire

Jagex also released the "Instant Demo" version of the game - you can instantly create a "test" character and complete the entire Tutorial without actually creating a new account - this lets you quickly see what the characters (narrator, Sir Vant, level 2 Goblin :P, Roddeck, etc.) sound like.

 

In particular, I loved it when the narrator yelled at me to Run! Run! Run! once you set the pillars on fire :thumbsup:

[Romy]

I think the new demo tutorial is great. If I were a new player, I'm pretty sure I'd have that urge to go on a lot.

 

 

Also, the narrator had a female voice- is that for everyone, or depending on your gender (I created a female character)?

There's a LOT of dialogue in the game, so just at the moment we have no plans to record anything outside the Tutorial itself.

 

Apparently the voices are not present for all players. We'd like to be able to compare the effect on people who get the voices against people who don't get them. That way we can see if the voices are encouraging newbies to complete the Tutorial and continue playing. Results are currently a bit skewed by all you existing players taking a look :)

 

 

A pity, but if they're ever going to start adding voices to the main game, I think the best place to start with would be quest NPCs and dialogues.

 

@romy

 

I created a male character and had a female narrator. A mixture of male and female on the main game would be nice. <3:

Mine was female also.

[bored321]

The instant demo is nothing new been out for a few months if you loaded it using miniclip, it would always be there.

 

Wasn't expecting much this week, so its ok that its only a small one. But the reward prices are a :thumbup:.

 

Getting Gem bag and Bonecrusher before i start slaying again.

[Babyshambles]

What's the price of a Bone Crusher now?
