Vulxai Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Let the virus flow through you? What the [bleep]? A) Makes no sense for anything in Runescape to understand what a virus is.B) Even if they did, how would a monster deliver a virus?C) How on earth does a virus flow? Seriously Jagex, that's the best you could think of? Virus? Ugh, there is so much wrong with that. A virus could be a potential poison. And there's really nothing wrong with it at all...it's a single phrase... A virus is different from a poison, really, in physiological turms it's like saying... "Let the fire freeze you!" just to try and sound cool. If you think about it, not really. A poison is something that tends to destroy, or deteriorate health. A virus, such as a computer virus, is essentially the same thing. It's goal is to deteriorate the "health" of your computer, by replicating itself over and over, gathering information it can, and ultimately harming your computer. You can't look at things in a narrow scope. You need to connect dots some times. ~ Proud Father ~ Proud (Currently Deployed) Army National Guardsmen ~ Proud Lakota ~ Retired Tip.It Crew ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star_Fox Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Just been at nex with a huge team. He certainly is tricky. We were like 20-30 maxed people, and it still took like 5-10 min to kill it. Few things: sHe drains prayersHe can make your deflect prayer unavailable for some timeWhen she says "dont fail me now, "mage name", you got to run to one of the 4 mages in the corners and kill it asap". I think it makes nex weaker after that. sHe can hit through deflect mage prayer, but not as hard, it seems (like Corp)sHe poisonssHe can pull you to her I guess Divines aren't going to be as useful to her then ever.

Funny, I had exactly the opposite interpretation - Divines will be more useful than ever. Prayer drain is irrelevant unless it's very fast, because you're going to want to use offensive prayers anyways, so it's not like with no Divine you can let your prayer fall to 0. From the sounds of it, Nex uses Ancient Curses including Soul Split, so the prayer drain isn't that bad. Making your deflect prayers unavailable, and piercing your deflect mage prayer makes a bigger case for Divine - you can't rely on prayers to keep damage off of you, so any other way of reducing the damage (Divine/Elysian/Soak) would definitely come in handy.

UserOnRS Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Cannon is allowed in the GWD as I tried a few days ago. I wanna make a clan event where they all place cannons and see who survives the longest. :P If noone has tried to take a cannon it's worth a try. Even if they're not supposed to be allowed Jagex has messed up before (at Aquanites :P). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't look at things in a narrow scope. You need to connect dots some times. A virus does not have a goal to detoriate the health of the host. It only happens to do so. It's goal is to spread and survive. As it does, it evolves, Which may hurt the host or hurt another type host. Though, computer viruses are made for the sole purpose of modifying the hosts.

Poison is generally a liquid, solid or gas purpose made to infect and damage the humanI think his complaint comes from the fact that viruses contain bits of DNA/RNA that they use to override the host cell's genetic structure, allowing them to reproduce. Poison on the other hand is much more general in that it's a substance that disturbs biological functions, but usually on a molecular rather than cellular level. This is getting very off-topic though, and I do think that the latin origin of virus meaning (Roughly) poison does help to bridge the gap of meaning in this context. Besides, it's not like rs is known for its realistic ways to solve poisoning, I mean we have 1 generic cure for EVERY poison (Not including 'disease') in the game.

If so, focus on those more than a phrase. Yep, I like the update, this stupidity just irks me to no end. Plus, the poison effect isn't linked to her saying this... I think. Either way, the diseases effect would be more suiting for the phrase. Whatever, it's a stupid argument. That being said, I need to deal with this guy. Its not connect the dots. Poison IS a virus. Just a very specific form of virus. Viruses are something that infect your system and destroy/disable it in various ways.Poison does this, the only difference being it is not a microscopic thing you pick up from touch or breathing it in. Poison is generally a liquid, solid or gas purpose made to infect and damage the human Poison and viruses work in very different ways. Please don't argue with me on this, chemical poisoning is a form of poisoning caused by ingestion of a toxic chemical agent. A virus is is a small infectious agent that can replicate only inside the cells of other organisms. I've studied this a decent amount, I know what I'm talking about. What you're saying is that since poisons and viruses are both detrimental to health they are the same. It is wrong, it is wrong in so many ways. Take biology 101 and then come talk please. It really annoys me how you present entirely incorrect things as facts. If you want to argue about this or for me to explain it please PM me, there is no point in further spamming up the thread.
