10-01-11 God Wars - The Ancient Prison

[timmmmm83]

Going to Runefest was worth it apparently...

 

A quote from someone attending Runefest:

 

Been talking for hours with the Jagex Moderators at the RuneFest, and got some good information on ingame stuff.

 

-Got a look at the new Gnome designs. Looked kinda like chibi characters.

-Mod Zephyri, the concept artist, wished she could redesign the basic armours (bronze-rune) but has other things to work on first.

-Manskirts are hopefully going to be redesigned to look more manly (yay) - Mod Zephyri didn't like those either.

-Zombie kittens coming...?

-Testing a piece of content can take up to 2 weeks with a team of like 16 people.

-A sky is most likely going to be added, but probably after Stellar Dawn's release (taking the technique for that from SD).

-The belt slot is probably going to be added in the future, including belts based on how long you've had membership and belts based on the different skills (boosting combat or holding tools or so).

-Mod Chris L made the Strange Power event.

-The floors after Occult are going to be called Warped, which will look kinda like Hell with fire and stuffs.

-The new demon boss which will come with that will be switching weapons (including Saggitarian Bow) and also require players to switch weapons.

-There will be 2 more Dungeoneering batches and a total of 60 floors at the end.

-At the end the Strange Power will be explained, and is supposed to be one of the reasons players play RuneScape (as in how epic it is going to be).

-The Frozen Door in Godwars is -NOT- Zaros, nor Guthix related. It is not designed at all yet.

-Mod Chris L was thinking of creating a boss monster behind the Frozen Door that's supposed to be so wicked and powerful that the 4 Gods sealed it away behind it (surprisingly close to what I had suggested a while back on the official forums).

-Armour with increasing Lifepoints are probably going to be added in the future.

-Mods were interested in my idea for old skool PvP worlds (pre-2007 gear and weapons allowed only).

I think the pathway they cut was the intended underwater swim to Zamorak's Fortress.

 

The original plan for Zamoraks Fortress was to dive into the water at the ice bridge and pass through an underwater area before emerging at the boss. You can see the early graphical work by using the orb of occulus around various parts of GWD.

 

The frozen door.. Well I think Jagex have always planned to have something locked away behind it, but to just casually throw Zaros in there and go "oh yeh btw they locked away this thing called Nex long before the God Wars started and then just happened to be the place where the Avianese took refuge after forging the godsword blah blah blah".

 

RS Lore is so messed up. That's the problem with RS. There is no central storyline to the game, you just emerge into an MMORPG without any sense of game timeline or direction. The Mahjarrat quest series is as close as you can get, but even that is only accessible to members.

 

 

Anyway.. Poor Monster choice in the Zaros Kill Count bit (why need a kill count if it has nothing to do with GWD? Ugh..) And then to put a bank after it anyway? Really? Warriors, Rangers, Mages and some reaver thing. How inventive, what happened to the demons and cool creatures we were told that followed Zaros?

[Den]

I think the demons went over to following Zamorak. Could always be a demon that didn't convert to Zamorakian, but I'd say demons are mostly refered to as Zamorak followers.

 

Nex is pretty cool though imo. :P

[Krampell]

Sites said that Zaros had both demon and vampire followers.

But as Den said, they must have gone over to Zamorak because there's both vampires and demons associated with zamorak in gwd.

 

Also Den, what's with the low graphic signature?

Random signature hosting site I use is very picky about file size. ><

Haven't been able to find a way to either host a random signature myself or a site that allows bigger file size on the pictures.

Here is the actual repair prices minus the usual BS from the runescape community.

 

Add that to your 2mil chaotic weapon and thats 5.5mil down the tube every 10 hours. Yikes!

I don't call that really high lol..

 

Remember that this is only used in "boss hunting": where you'll only be in combat for like 10 minutes per hour.. (actual combat, so 0.6 seconds per hit given/hit received). - Mean it can easily last for 30 hours before repairs are needed!

 

With a profit of 3M per hour this would be 5-6% of your total profit during that time.

[SirHartlar]

Plus it won't cost as much if you repair it in your house.

[Quyneax]

Exactly, the 50% reduction in a POH puts a full set at 1.75m/10 hrs if not less, say 100k/hr.

Well but at the time when Nex was supposedly sealed away they still would have been on the side of Zaros. Just saying some re-hashed warriors/mages/rangers and one new creature seems a bit poor for this almighty "weapon of zaros".

You're not able to make 3M per hour right?

3M/hr? That's chump change now.

Correct.

I top out around 2mil/hr but frost dragons bore me easily and godwars dungeon/tormented demons got old several weeks after their releases.

 

3M/hr? That's chump change now.

Not really, but then again I see it through the view point of a player.

I don't ruin the game (merchant), I don't scam little kids, I'm not a thug (pker) or bug abuser (staker), I don't RWT or bot, and I don't make up numbers like the efficiency crowd.

So 3mil/hr really isn't chump change from my point of view.

nice hypocrisy

[ranqe]

gol still wont admit hes wrong? whats new

[SirIzenhime]

well, he isn't wrong about 3m/hr not being chump change...for about...99% of the players in RS, that's far from chump change.

[Matt_Marche]

Among someone at yours, my and gol's levels it is

[pulli23]

Yet should the very best of the best armour be used by the average player?

 

Besides, I've told several times that with the current timing mechanism (where only the half-seconds are counted that are actual combat) the equipment time is much longer then 10 hours.. (more in the range of 20 hours, maybe 30 if you boss hunt solely with these things).

No...I never implied that

(seriously.......so many times...words are put in my mouth....)

I disagree. Just because it's possible for me to make like...10-20% more then 3m...that doesn't make 3m an hour bad.

I still consider 2m an hour good, and 1m an hour decent depending on what it is you're doing to get it.

[Cheefoo]

Someone tell me how you make 1m an hour. I don't doubt that its possible, I'm just terrible at making money, and would really like some advice.

 

3.5m per 10 hours to recharge the armor sounds fair. If you have 99 smithing, its more like 1.75m/10hrs, which is 175k an hour. That's 10 hours of combat, so it probably won't even cost that much.

[green9090]

TDs, Frost dragons, Bandos solo/duo/trio, Arma solo, using fruit bat scrolls with summoning potions, farming torstol with juju pots (over 4.8m/hour but you can only spend about 5 minutes on it every 70 minute growth cycle), 6 man corp, pawya/grenwall hunting... TONS of things make over 1m/hour. Most of those things make in excess of 2.5m/hour average for an experienced player with optimal stats and gear.

[Dragonlordjl]

I heart TDs.
