Bank Op and Equip Screen Update (BOAESU)

[oake]

I have a farkite, and it's really a joke soaking wise- even worse than you guys think.

 

On top of this, I'm sick of how stupid JaGeX is in general

Their QA department is even worse. This game is bugged beyond repair, every update is full of bugs (except those by Mod Ash lol).

 

"Bugged beyond repair" implies that the game can't even be compiled, let alone played. Thought I'd point that out.

No, could just mean a bug that they can't easily fix. whatever, semantics.

 

No. There's a difference between a piece of software that's bugged beyond repair, and a bug that's highly elusive. It's not semantics, it's the bastardization of a very important programming concept. But time is wasted dwelling on something so trivial.

 

"Suck" is subjective. The shields do offer a substantial amount of defense, and if you've got the 200K tokens lying around, it may be a valid investment for one that wouldn't mind having one. They weren't intended to outclass any of the Spirit Shield sets, and now we have concrete proof as to that they don't.

 

Naturally I would've hoped that the issue would've been fixed in the KB by now, but it's probably best, next time, if there is an error, to report it and let it be dealt with. Whining about things seldom fixes things.

 

No. They were most likely meant to outclass SS's (exlcuding div/ely), since they were added to REBALANCE PVP (chaotic weapons are really powerful). Jagex probably failed to do the math to realize that the shields barely soak ANY damage. now we have a PVP system which is basically broken in how powerful chaotics are.

 

Jagex does NOT respond to reports (at least within a reasonable timeframe). There are SO many instances of this. i dont expect jagex to respond to my whining, but it still makes me feel better. if jagex showed that they actually responded to reports id be much more inclined to do so. they are simply FAIL at quality assurance / quality control

 

Whether or not they were intended to outclass Spirit Shields is left for another debate; I personally don't believe that they were. Less expensive alternative to an SS? Sure. Outclass? Not a chance.

 

As for the response to the influx of bug reports - not feasible. You burn man-hours and resources replying to each individual person (even having it automated); time better invested in actually fixing the darn bugs.

 

It also seems that QA gets the short end of the stick pretty often...if they truly were fail with what they did, then the game would be truly unplayable every time an update rolled around. C'mon now, let's not overgeneralize too much.

 

So what you're saying is, instead of reporting it through the valid channels, you're going to complain until something changes about it? If that were the case, if Jagex really didn't listen to bug reports, then RS2 would still be in beta. As for your example - it only takes one request for me for my neighbors to turn down the stereo; if they ignore that, *then* the police come in. It'd have probably made more sense if you said the police were ignoring you, and not the neighbors - the deputies carry more authority than your neighbor would in this scenario.

What I'm saying is that I've reported this and many other things through the proper channels and gotten no response. Jagex simply does not read them. What would you like me to do after 9 years of reporting bugs and watching them not be fixed? What is your problem with my course of action? That I'm not 100% satisfied with Jagex 100% of the time when they make truly idiotic mistakes and then refuse to fix them when they're pointed out?

 

The shields suck for anyone who can get them. It's level 80 equipment and requires quite a lot of dungeoneering. Anyone who can buy them can likely access frost dragons, which means they can get a superior spectral/arcane/DFS by killing frosts faster than they can scrounge 200k tokens in most cases. Plus the better shields don't have repair costs. I just don't think you're appreciating how bad these shields are for their stated purpose, which is rebalancing the offensive power of the chaotic weapons. At that, they UTTERLY fail.

 

Whining doesn't fix it, but it does raise awareness that you really shouldn't waste your tokens on a shield that is falsely advertised in the KB as a good shield but is actually junk. That's the issue here- now that Jagex has admitted they know how the shields actually work, they're lying to people on purpose until the KB is updated.

 

It does not follow from your logic that, if one does not reply to you, that they have not heard your comments. It could very well be the case that Jagex has read every report you've sent in, and looked at how they could fix it. Your timeline (nine years) also implies you've played the RS2 beta; it'd be pretty foolhardy to consider that bug reports weren't listened to during the *beta*.

 

Again, I say that "suck" is subjective, because it's clear that neither you nor I would find a use for the shields, but that doesn't mean that someone else wouldn't. In regards to them offsetting the power of the Chaotic weapons...I must say I didn't see the shields doing that to begin with. Likely a case of seeing things differently, I suppose.

 

As for the issue in the KB, we agree there at least - it should have been fixed ages ago, but it wasn't. Oh darn - report the darned error and move on.
