Maybe it's only a little thing, but this makes me happy (and motivated to train construction again): "you'll be able to obtain strange rocks when constructing furniture in the Build mode of your POH"

Jagex release BTS > People whine about it > People whine about people whining about it > People whine about people whining about people whining about it, and attempt to justify the original whiners.

 

WOOOO TIPIT ROCKS WE'RE AWESOME

[blakdragon39]

Jagex isn't being very professional. At the end of the day, if you can't deliver what you say, you need to improve something.

 

Regardless of what excuses you have, a company should run focused on results. Two delays is kind of inexcusable.

 

They ARE delivering EXACTLY what they say. They never said: this month we PROMISE YOU GET ALL THIS YAY! Hence the disclaimer that is needed for people exactly like you. And two days is completely excusable! There are delays in industry ALL THE TIME, and two days is nothing. If you need new content all the freaking time, go play a game called LIFE. Updates EVERY DAY! You're still going to have to deal with broken promises though. So, tough.

 

 

What are you talking about with this "two days" nonsense? sseli said two delays. And I agree that they shouldn't keep delaying like that. It's been much more than two days blak, it's been more like 2 weeks since the clue update was supposed to happen. Oh well though, I guess I'll just keep on doing whatever until it comes out, not like complaining is going to make it happen any faster.

 

I just re-read his post, and my bad, I read "days" instead of "delays." But everything I said still stands. Two delays is still nothing.

im just gonna guess that the top occult boss drops the primal battleaxe

 

1. im pretty sure prime drops the 2h

2. since its top boss they prob made it drop some good melee weapon that lots of people want

3. baxe can use all 3 melee rings which encourages players to use more than just berserker

4. the things on each of his arms resemble the long blade of a battleaxe, with his arms acting as the handles

5. he definately melees for his main attacks, otherwise the size, muscles, and sharp weapons he has are just for show...... so i cant see him dropping a mage or range item

6. the next closest resembling item to what hes using would maybe be daggers on his wrists which is already dropped by a boss

7. the other demon bosses drop a melee weapon....specificly a 1 handed melee weapon, riftsplitter drops rapier, pummler drops warhammer, im not actualy sure what bonechiller drops because i dont do him on large teams but i think he drops dagger

8. from dagger to rapier to warhammer the weapons get slightly stonger and a bit slower, im guessing baxe just follows pattern since theres dagger (6) rapier (6) warhammer(5) and then baxe (5) and for damage dagger<rapier<hammer<baxe

 

thats assuming hes the same class as the other 3 demons...but i think he is since

 

9. theres 1 class of demon boss on each floor so he would be the occult demon

FINALLY! FINALLY! Jagex's people got their heads on straight and put a flaming disclaimer on the BTS in order to make people stop flaming them for ridiculous and untrue things! =D>

 

Hmm... "Ability to gain 10 additional bank spaces"... Perhaps a hint for the Lumbridge Hard/Advanced Diary? I wonder... :huh:

 

~D. V. "Some things gone right, and some to look ahead for..." Devnull

[blakdragon39]

Hmm I never read that it was an ability. That's kinda cool I guess. Wonder how we'll obtain that ability? I think someone already said those spaces will likely get taken up by clothing for TT clues. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

[wioneo]

Hope they can get most of this up before I leave for college and shun runescape for 4+ years(or until I get my own damn room).

If youre looking to spend your Dungeoneering tokens,

 

Can I get a show of hands?

 

I'm still saving up for a level 24 reward... and my level is now what, 56?

 

So no, no one was looking to spend them. You'll have to be grandmaster to get all the decent rewards already, probably.

[swordwarior]

Am I the only one thinking Tip.It is slowly but surely turning into a slightly more mature RSOF? The updates come when they are ready. If they're not ready, they're not ready. Is the concept REALLY that hard to understand? Do you even know [cabbage] about programming? The wording on the TT update was just changed to deal with [cabbage]kids like certain people in our midst, they're probably still going to release it this week.

 

Onto the BTS, the void quest sounds good, I liked the last one. Dung update is also arriving a little sooner than expected, I like that they're not doing both at once. And finally, the minigame doesnt sound all that amazing, but I'll just have to wait and see I guess.

 

Do i need to know anything about programming to know how stupid they are being to still be working on content the month it goes live?

 

Seriously, take a month off, get so that their a month ahead, then when you say your going to release something its already done. No delays, no complaints, just a smooth running operation. They way they are currently doing this is very poor, and will continue to put themselfs in these situations.

 

They had no problems taking out aspects of the game that was very well liked for the "better of everyone," despite the endless complaints, so take the time to get ahead of schedule for the "better of everyone."

Ya, ilm sure the Runescape kids will love having a month of no updates. Grow up, and stop acting like Jagex needs your advice. You belong in RSOF.

Because all of the people on tip.it who pretend to be mature would never complain about it. You belong in RSOF yourself. As do I, for responding. And to be honest, tip.it isn't looking that much better than RSOF after last week's "Update Delayed" thread.

[Great_one]

you guys need to chill, the content team was done with their part, which is in retrospect a lot easier coding than the graphics team has. if the graphics team isnt ready because coding for lower quality computers is taking longer than expected there is nothing the content team can do but continue onto the text project.

Void Knight Quest :thumbup:

More Dungeon Floors :thumbup:

8 More Rewards (not spending a token until they come out) :thumbsup:

Void Knight turn based activity (umm.. mobilizing armies with void knights... truely heinous) :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :rolleyes:

You and your ~D.V. "I have to say something inbetween my name" Devnull replies.

 

I'll just agree with you and say Jagex having a disclaimer on the BTS might keep the BTS intact for a couple more months until the RSOF explodes in 200 pages of rants.

Hope they can get most of this up before I leave for college and shun runescape for 4+ years(or until I get my own damn room).

 

Or do what me and lalala do which is be pro and play secretly. LOL

What's wrong with letting people know you play RS lol

[Sir_Kurity]

I can always deal with more dungeoneering XP.

 

Always been a little subpar, for me at least.

[Wingless]

I got both the Arcane Stream and Tome of Frost by level 70, after I had spent about 10K tokens on my Ring and such. 70 is hardly even master. So yeah, *raises hand*

[steviej]

Seems like dclaw prices will go up more. Hopefully the whiners will be satisfied with the legal at the bottom?

 

Does anyone else feel like the new pc turn-based game is going to be a bust?

[VonMedo]

So... We had Dung Batch 1.

 

Were promised Batch 2... Instead we'vegot Batch 1.5/1.75.... Good work there. :rolleyes:

 

I'd rather they split the updates up then waiting until they're all ready and releasing them at once.

how many people actually plan to get much farther than level 93 anyways?

 

I just think releasing the skill in so many parts is stunted.. People are already training over lvl 99! The skill was released and the max floor lvl was at 69... Fail much? People reached that in no time at all. And now we're getting up to 93.. Which would be ok for a "skill" if we didn't know this one went up to 120!

 

 

And if they didn't release skill until all was done,you would be ranting about no new skill,they released a lot of things in batch 1,people are training it,200-300 people are no-lifing it,but vast majority or RS is in 60-70 dung,even less,I'm 62 dung and my rank is 36k,so this update will benefit everyone a lot.

Just because 800 people trained it to 94 and are "out of update domain" doesn't mean that it's a bad update.

[Drazhor]

Information Update:

 

The game update will not be launched today (Monday 2nd). We had to perform a number of changes to the game engine and, if all goes well, we are aiming to launch on Tuesday.

 

Thank you for your patience!

 

~ Edited as some were getting confused.

 

Just found that on future updates on the update delay thread. (just incase it hasn't been posted)

[Viv]

now to think of a good lvl to get with this batch

 

and i like dungeon being released in different parts now people will train at lvl 93 speed and thier will be more people to do 94+ floors with when they come out :P

learn2AOG :)

real time strategy is one thing, but it's a lot harder to mess up turn based strategy.

[Range_This11]

Hahahaha. No treasure trail update but another BTS! I love it.

[Omali]

Hahahaha. No treasure trail update but another BTS! I love it.

 

They're aiming at releasing the update tomorrow.
