Blutters Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 My theory: They're getting too ambitious with the custom interfaces, and that's become too much of a drain on development time. They should focus on refining and reusing those interfaces in future quests instead of making new ones from scratch all the time.I agree with this in particular, but as well as interfaces, new game mechanics that it seems they use once and then never again. Although I didn't really enjoy the tracking part (respective portion of the quest aside -.- ) I liked that they reused the ship/vehicle type thing from Clockwork Syringe. They need to do this more often, and update older quests to use newer mechanics like I thought they said they were going to do a long time ago.

Danqazmlp Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I'm hearing about there being a huge reduction in bots from this update, more than the normal who get taken out by updates.

HunterDexter Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 You can vaguely see the shapes of the boobs of the mermaids, but nothing worth seeing, I mean, they're fish, and greenblue-ish blobs representing breasts isn't anything shocking.Still got a good laugh when looking at RSOF, all those prudent people being "shocked" etc about it, cmon.

Danqazmlp Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Turoths are deserted as well. Has Jagex finally released something that takes down bots or are they just unusually slow in turning back on after the update? (does this require a new thread?) EDIT: Blue dragons empty too.

Danqazmlp Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Well normally they go down after an update, but usually they are back up well before this length of time.

Necromagus Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Yeah, I was checking for Dan earlier. Besides the aforementioned turoth and blue dragons (under the ogre enclave) the banshees were deserted too. I really hope this sticks.

Could they finally be rolling out something that works?A couple of hours ago I was able to find a free spot to mine iron in the Dwarven Mine near the resource dungeon. As I'm F2P, that spot is usually teeming with bots. There was one guy just standing over in a corner for the whole hour I was there...a broken bot maybe? Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P.

LinkOlaran Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Just going to quickly comment again before heading off to do something else. The possibility that Jagex may have finally done SOMETHING to reduce the number of bots seems too good to be true, but I'm praying that it is true. The lack of response on Jagex's part since the re-release of free trade on this matter is part of the reason why I'm not playing as much anymore. Anyway... The 'dragon shortsword' Neos posted. I would be willing to accept it's just red hot still, but... Look at the hilt. The crosspiece has the same color as other dragon weapons. Plus I'd expect if the sword were still heated up, it'd be more of an orange color rather than the blood red I'm seeing in that picture. Just quickly looking at existing dragon weapons, the longsword and scimitar seem to match, hilt wise, the best. I still could be wrong, though :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this doesn't turn into the next "zomg sailing" thing.... See one picture and assume it's coming in the future even though Jagex says it isn't.

mlskid Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Where does Linza go after the quest? I looked for her at the forge where she was during the quest but she wasn't there... I haven't checked anywhere else really but i'd expect Sir Vyvin, anyone else Curious? Or was she supposed to just leave mysteriously?

Jabuli Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 "Was that a dragon shortsword she was smithing for Sir Vyvin or just a very hot sword of another metal?" Mod Tim: Nope, it wasnt a dragon shortsword. Its a custom weapon she was making for Sir Vyvin, and yes it was very hot.

gspbeetle Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 This really doesn't sound like a master quest at all. :( However I'll probably do it pretty soon as it means a Fishing level for me. The term "master difficulty" mostly implies for high level requirements for nothing good.Quest that actually kills people like haunted mine and dragon slayer are merely "experienced".
