anonymous_user Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 All I can say is that I hope it doesn't come out as a tradeable item that all the greedy rich players will buy out and stockpile. Would be nice if it will be similar to other defenders, I think we need more decent equipment that requires luck/skill to own rather than just gp. Plus it would make sense to require rune defender to get dragon otherwise the whole cyclops thing would be pointless once most people could obtain dragon. I'm not too sure about it as a dungeoneering reward as none of the other current rewards seem to be 'regular' items made of 'regular' material. But I suppose you could argue that it's possible with batch 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Askthedude Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Dont know why some people think that there must be a dungeoneering requierement. I can't see any connections. The Mage prayer released as a Dung reward doesn't have any connection, same with some of the other rewards...I'm guessing it's because they think Jagex will try and get more people training Dung by putting it there as a reward. Why can't the Big Bang be done by the hand of God?It could have, but it is next to impossible because it also could have been caused by the flying spaghetti monster, or one of the other infinite number of deity possibilities.

Will H Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 People, I think that we all need to just put the Dungeoneering tokens to one side and focus more on these mini-dungeons more. I think we all agree that tokens should not be the main reward for the skill, and these so called 'reward dungeons' need 'rewards'. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, people who actually like Dungeoneering are aching to see the skill used or qualified somehow...Whatever the source is, it needs to be a bit more exclusive than just a mid level monster drop, and hopefully more instanced (two things which may contradict eachother). The Warriors' Guild was extremely crowded for a week or more, on all worlds. Nothing's wrong with some competition, but that was ridiculous.

The Warriors' Guild was extremely crowded for a week or more, on all worlds. Nothing's wrong with some competition, but that was ridiculous. I still haven't gotten used to the system and mechanics of Dungeoneering as a skill, so I'll be pretty disappointed if one of the most widely used item in the future gets dumped together with all the other 'rewards' of dungeoneering. Seriously, any new item/ability can just be attached to Dungeoneering because the skill justifies itself as the skill of skills, but what's the fun in that?

PereGrin Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Well, as long as we are putting the dragon defender in as a dungeoneering reward, why not add a zaros godsword hilt for 600k tokens. And lets make the defenders and chaotic weapons tradable while we are at it! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtaurian Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Yeah, I'd prefer there to be a little more story behind the dragon defender than just magically appearing in Marmaros' shop.

strilmus Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Well, to be fair the dragon weapons all look radically different from their human counterparts, but serve a similar purpose. The fact that different human weapons exist with similar properties (It's got a handle! It's got a hurty part! They're copying each other!) should be a strange idea to you too. If you want some confusing nonhuman weapons we can just talk about the tzhaar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
