13-May-2010 Fairy Tale Part 3 & DirectX Support and Graphics Options

Featured Replies

While the rewards are nice and the graphics are quite good, I'm still wondering that it took over a year for this? Certainly doesn't feel like it.

 

Well there's the whole graphical update to Zanaris, including the Fairies and the Orks. Adding in some new areas too.

 

Not to mention it probably won't be a huge team working on it. So yeah, it's possible it took a year, including revisions to some parts, some original concepts can get changed at a later date for example. God..Why do you people think this is so easy?

A 30 minute quest? C'mon! It's epic. :unsure:

And not to mention actually thinking up of the story, getting it approved, finding and fixing any bugs and not to mention code it.

Seems jagex missed a few fairys in the market place :P

The one selling the dragon stuff, and the one by a fairy ring to Al khraid.

 

Oh well, was a fun quest and i nice way to end a Aging storyline..

I don't know which mod did this. I don't know why they did it. If they're looking for money, I can tell them I don't have any as I'm a student. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over 4 years of RuneScape. Skills that I have worked hard for and people like them can't take them away. If they give me my particles back now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for them, I will not pursue them. But if they don't, I will look for them, I will find them, and they won't like what'll happen

I agree, that is definitely not bloom/

The quest itself is rather... meh. I agree that the Zanaris Graphics are very nice, but I just don't feel like their time was spent wisely on this. I do know that the graphics for Zanaris were done months ago and they reworked the final battle thing twice to make it better, which is what the delay was. So knowing that and seeing what came of it... just kinda... :-|

Fun quest, meh reward. And I think this quest has had more hidden rewards than any other...

No I agree. I was trying to be sarcastic...or something. It sucks that they spend so much time on this type of thing for the game. People are going to play through this quest once and be done with it forever...its a shame so much time goes into a short lived part of the game that we are only going to enjoy once (and many of us really wont "enjoy" questing at all) The rewards are great, but I doubt a lot of that development time was spent making the rewards.

Now they just need to update gnomes and their chatheads.

Dunno, the portals from the Summer quests were a fair bunch.

especially the one in rogues castle (the lvl 51 wildy one), I still cant believe anyone found that one tbh

Well, placing a cannon in amongst the new Orks Rift area is certainly interesting.

Wow. So the big reward for this quest is to not use a staff! Did anyone REALLY care about that? Not as much as they care about having to actually GET to Zanaris to use the rings at all. Are JaGeX really SO stupid that they didn't think of some way to instantly teleport us to the Zanaris ring? That's what everybody wanted. I never use the rings because they are slower than other methods since you have to actually get to Zanaris first which is a waste of time.

 

HUGE letdown for an update that had multiple dev blogs and high potential. :thumbdown:

It was revealed a few months ago the reward would be staff-less ring usage.

you mean teleing to slayer tower and walk south to the ring? That's hardly faster (if at all) than glory tele to edge and use the ring east.

 

And neither are direct teles (which he asked for) at any rate...

Loving this update, good rewards and the new graphics look nice :D

Really, if there's any negative things to point out with this update, it's that some people persist on being negative. The quest was good, the boss fight unique in some respects, and the rewards definitely make up for the long wait. (Fairy rings w/o a staff could've been the only reward and I'd be happy)

 

I'm loving the new look to Zanaris; now if only they could put the graphics team on gnomes and trolls and we'd be relatively up-to-date with the races. I think I'm relatively safe in saying there really are no negatives to this update, and if there are, they are very small and essentially nothing to talk about. Good job Jagex :rolleyes:

No, he means teleing to the Slayer Cave and clicking the Fairy Ring there.

8 steps east of a fairy ring is pretty much the same as an instant tele...

"The Barrows has been adjusted so that when stood next to a puzzle door, you will no longer be interrupted by nearby NPCs attacking you."

DirectX addition looks interesting, sadly I don't play anymore.
