mister_moocky Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 The new cannon looks awful and all the smithing update did was speed up experience. You can now level your useless skill faster, to reach nothing. This is what it took Jagex well over a year to come up with? Smithing still only has purpose in dungeonering, this update changed nothing. quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegelstad Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Support! Atleast give the cannon some cool properties like the ability to fire 2,5%-5% faster or similar.

Helm_Lardar Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Say what you like about the cannon, but it's a darn sight more realistic. Despite the fact the cannonball storage is still a bit weird. How on earth are you ever going to make smithing worthwhile again? You won't especially not if you just focus on combat. I'm not an efficienado.

Bladewing Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 cannon looks cool, but it is damn near impossible to find small drops like herbs under a cannon, let alone seeds or charms How to Chin Nechyraels for fast XP and profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obtaurian Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Probably because you've outgrown most of the content. I don't understand how that applies to the OP's rant at all. Are you saying that he's outgrown wanting a better smithing update? How in the world does that work? It can't be that he's outgrown the existing smithing update, because for that to be the case the update would have to be useful and there'd have to be something in it to outgrow, which there isn't, so what the hell are you talking about? Also, inb4 you turn this into an efficiency argument for the umpteenth time. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lose No Hope Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Either way, before this turns into an argument, this update sucks. We wanted new REWARDS, not crappy content with exp rewards that aren't much better, if better at all, than the current methods. I'm also agreeing with blade that the new cannon look is a much bigger pain with seeds because the whole ground below the cannon is covered by the base now.

Kata_Phfract__the_slayer Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 the new cannon looks horrible. errghhhh... and it, in the end, dident change anything.this is one of the few rants i agree with. I'm a Brony and proud of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dargonhuman Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I agree the new cannon is terrible; makes me think a little too much of WoW-style graphics. For the record, I think the cartoony WoW graphics are just an eyesore and a blemish on the face of serious MMOs. Part of the Star Traks network. (^^Clicky!)

Fairness Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Who cares about the cannon's looks? I'm mildly happy about this update because if I wanted to train smithing I would now have a better way of doing so. Then again, I don't train smithing often. A pity - my early RS days were all about mining and smithing, how I kept mining to make bars to make armor to be able to make better armor... but okay, that's beside the point. About smithing, yes, what the skill really needs is new content. However, it isn't easy to make good content. I, for one, don't want another super untradeable skill perk unlocked at 95 smithing. If we went that way, then average and somewhat above average players would no longer stand a chance of doing anything eventually. If such content is to be introduced it should begin from a medium level (70-75) and should not get overpowered even at the end (example: curses are not particularly useful until 92, then suddenly it gets insane).

Fire_Hawk154 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The smithing xp isn't good nor cheap. I still didn't see any reward so it seems a bit pointless to me <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the new cannon look makes it take up twice as much space as it did before, I care a lot about the looks, and have a reason to bloody hate it. This isn't the dragon scimitar where people complain about jagex changing the looks, with people both for and against the change; by changing the size of the cannon, you change the mechanics of how they are used.

Helm_Lardar Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Oh okay. I guess that cannon problem makes sense then, although TBH I always find herb drops a pain anyway, so I click the seed then the bones. The smithing update was what I expected. i was looking forward to it. I am satisfied. I'm not an efficienado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairness Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Actually, a little look inside the Artisans' Workshop left me pretty unhappy as what I found out was that this update, once again, sucks. I'd like to stress again that I'm not the stereotypical ranter who whines about every update no matter what it is like, but lately there have been more and more updates like this. Wasn't this advertised as a free minigame? I seem to recall reading something like "you just need a hammer, they'll provide you the rest". Turns out that in reality, what we got was a more expensive and not a bit faster training method (above level 70 anyways, I didn't care to test the lower levels extensively) compared to old-school smithing. I mean, trying to create the best possible sword is cool as a minigame for a while, but in the end, this update delivered nothing and clearly was poorly, hastily planned. I blew away like 400k on iron ore (no coal or anything! Just plain iron ceremonial swords) and ended up gaining like 50k exp in the end despite the fact that I performed well. I think prayer has better gp/xp rates than that. You're being watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
