I'll miss you, Diane ;/

[Quyneax]

no more DGS? I was looking forward to dunging with you there....

Well just remember you can't advertise floors with me in DGS :P.

 

Not gonna say much, since I don't want to start anything, but: :thumbup:

 

I assume you're maxing first before 120 DG or wut?

Nope, I'll start dg at 300m total xp, giving up the sacred RATIO of xp:level. I don't know where I'll end up before max, no plans there, but 113 would be good.

 

wats the long version?

 

o and hello, u own etc

DGS is going for its most hardcore members, the people who won't stop dungeoneering (ex. someone with a 200m xp goal was told on his application that a fixed xp goal is not what DGS is for). Now I'm sure I will do floors after 120 (got to enjoy that 4th bind) but until 120 dg my only concern is getting there.

 

I'll miss you, Diane ;/

This post must be in the wrong blog, I don't know any Diane, Gohegdeh.

[Hedgehog]

I have almost no intention of getting 120 anymore, and I'm still in DGS

[Lord Paul]

Shhhhh, don't let them hear you @@@

[DyingSilent]

Shhhhh, don't let them hear you @@@

 

I planned on Dungeoneering at least until 120, and I was still kicked. Disagreeing with Jimi is a no-no :shame:

 

Cya a year and a half of friendship, power is more important I guess...

[Sir_Squab]

Dat drama.

 

If I still played RS I'd be concerned because there are more things I want to do in RS then DG. Sure it's fun, but... eh. Like I said, rather do other things. Most of the time I DG it's with a goal in mind.

Just FYI, I only carried out the sentence. All of the admins and ranks (and yourself, incidentally) agree that you do not belong in DGS. You can be angry with me all you want, but it wasn't solely my decision. If anyone had disagreed with me - especially another admin - it wouldn't have happened. All of you need to realize that six out of eight DGS admins are active and weighing in on the decisions we make, and we rarely do anything without consulting the ranks first. DGS is very democratic. If you see me or another admin carry out any official action, you can be rest assured that it was sanctioned by all of the admins.

 

While it's cute that this blog is quickly becoming an anti-DGS shitshow, I have to ask that you don't post pictures of me without my consent. I assume that Enaid and Leik haven't seen it yet, 'cause I'd rather not believe that Tip.it mods would allow something like that. I'll be sure to contact a Tip.it admin if it becomes a recurring problem, though.

 

And on the topic of DGS - people love to get all hot and bothered when they realize that DGS is not a clan for casuals. It never has been. Look at the last few pages of our old Tip.it thread and you'll see an eerie resemblance to the last couple pages of this blog. DGS fills a very large and necessary niche, and that is keeping the dungeoneering metagame alive and kicking. People who really dedicate themselves to getting better and learning in DGS do actually get better (and as an aside, those are also the players who are able to get the highest xp/h without being completely carried by "suiciders").

 

I'm not totally surprised that this blog has become a haven for people who have left or been removed from DGS, but I have to ask that you at least have the decency to not lie about why you were removed. If it comes to it, I really don't mind outlining the circumstances so that everyone can see and judge for themselves if you were removed unfairly or not.

 

But for those people who are interested in getting better at dungeoneering and learning to maximize their xp/h and lower their floor times, and then turning around and teaching the next generation of dungeoneers to do the same, DGS is for you. Like I said earlier, DGS is all about catering to the dungeoneering metagame first and foremost. We don't want people who are just going to quit after 120 or who don't have the patience or will to teach people. If you just want 120 without all of the responsibility of teaching and helping other people, then I'm sure you can find a different clan.

This is not the place to be venting your personal frustrations. Any trolling/venting/harassment from this point will be dealt with as a 2nd warning, this being your first.

 

 

Thank you and have a nice evening. :)

[Quyneax]

^Indeed, and I would add that I have nothing against DGS, we just have different goals.

 

- DGS does not condone suiciding or fast floors for the sake of being fast; rather, members should focus on the team's overall exp per hour.

 

This stance has changed and I have decided that I do not like that. That doesn't mean DGS is doing the wrong thing. And this is the very last I want to hear of this.

[Quyneax]

Wouldn't want to bother Zaros with something like a page number now would we :P.

 

Finished all tasks but the bittercap & trekking ones, trekking will take a few more hours. 566 now.

 

Also 299m total xp and 19.5m farming exactly.

[Quyneax]

Finished Temple Trekking and got taskmaster back :).

[Dusk Souls]

Grats on Temple Trekking!

[Quyneax]

Put it this way: I want a trimmed one.

Exactly -.-.

 

Suggestion for an expansion to Temple Trekking:

 

Currently Temple Trekking companions are a bit lame and not really suited for, say, a final fight versus Drakan himself. It'd be cool to bring them more up to Crysius' level, as a counterpoison to the signature heroes. It also serves as a way to implement some of the rare knowledge we, as questing characters, have into the game.

 

It'd be a separate activity (TTv2), which adds levels to the companion in the same way that summoning in the wilderness does (e.g. Pazuzu (99+10), totalling 39 levels so you'll get 138 combat in the end. These levels have a separate xp counter, so 90+1 is as fast to level in TT as 90+38 and similarly 10+1 is as hard to level as 99+1 in TTv2. If you don't have the requisite TT level for a follow-up ability nothing happens but you can keep levelling in TTv2 and then return to TT to unlock the abilities later on.

 

Obviously these events are far harder, the end-game TT including things like vyrewatch militia and mutated nail beasts :D.

 

Mainly this is to make the companions more awesome :D. The easy companions and Jayene end up as powerful fighters (combat triangle please), the hard companions and Zachory as support group.

 

These are the fighter characters:

[hide=Pazuzu]Focus on improving magic dps.

1. Ability to donate an arcane stream necklace - Pazuzu will then use it (requires 70 TT level, 70 dungeoneering and the player must spend 30k tokens).
   
2. Teach the secrets of Ancient Magicks - Pazuzu starts using random blitz spells (requires Desert Treasure, an ancient staff and 82 TT levels, will not use miasmic).
   
3. Teach the secrets of Ancient Curses - Pazuzu starts using leech magic and soul split when fighting (requires Temple at Senntisten, an ancient hymnal and 92 TT levels).
   
4. Ability to donate a set of Zuriel's equipment - Pazuzu will use it and cast miasmic barrage (requires 96 TT levels and a set of Zuriel's robes and staff. The robes will not degrade).
   

[/hide]

 

[hide=Dean]Focus on improving melee dps.

1. Teach the secret of piety - Dean will use it (requires 70 TT levels, 70 prayer and must have unlocked piety in the Knight Training Ground).
   
2. Ability to donate a chaotic melee weapon - Dean will use it (requires 80 TT levels, 80 dungeoneering and the player must spend 200k tokens).
   
3. Teach the secret of extreme potions - Dean will use extreme potions (requires 90 TT levels, 90 herblore and Druidic Ritual).
   
4. Ability to donate a set of Statius's armour - Dean will use it (requires 96 TT levels and a set of Statius' armour. The armour will not degrade).
   

[/hide]

 

[hide=Jayene]Focus on improving ranged dps.

1. Ability to donate a scroll of rigour - Jayene will then pray rigour when fighting (requires 74 TT levels, 74 dungeoneering and the player must spend 140k tokens).
   
2. Teach the secret of sagaie - Jayene will use them (requires 83 TT levels, 83 fletching and must have unlocked the Jadinko Lair. Twin shot still applies).
   
3. Teach the secret of extreme potions - Jayene will use extreme ranged (requires 92 TT levels, 92 herblore and Druidic Ritual).
   
4. Ability to donate a set of Morrigan's equipment - Jayene will use it (requires 96 TT levels and a set of Morrigan's armour with one javelin. The armour will not degrade and twin shot still applies).
   

Requires some care into the AI to make her run away from opponents when using sagaie especially.[/hide]

 

These are the support characters:

[hide=Zachory]Focus on prayer on account of his Saradomin staff. This requires opponents using prayer of course.

1. Teach the secret of Smite - Zachory will use it to disable opponent's prayers (requires 70 TT levels and 52 prayer).
   
2. Ability to donate a scroll of Augury - Zachory will use it (requires 77 TT levels, 77 dungeoneering and the player must spend 157k tokens).
   
3. Teach the secret of Charge - Zachory will use Saradomin strike with Charge (requires 85 TT levels, 80 magic and a Saradomin god cape. Will equip Zachory with a Saradomin god cape).
   
4. Ability to donate a set of Akrisae's equipment - Zachory will use it to disable opponents' prayers (requires 96 TT levels and a set of Akrisae's equipment. Zachory will still be able to cast Saradomin strike with Charge).
   

[/hide]

 

[hide=Smiddi]Focus on healing allies, buffing allies and debuffing enemies. Since she already has Lunars, there's not much to gain there :(.

1. Teach the secret of protect prayers - Smiddi will use them (requires 70 TT levels and 43 prayer).
   
2. Ability to donate a blessed spirit shield and law staff - Smiddi will use them (requires 80 TT levels, a blessed spirit shield and Summer's End to donate the shield. The player must spend 10k tokens to donate the staff. Donated separately).
   
3. Teach the secret of Summoning - Smiddi will permanently summon a unicorn and use the scrolls to heal herself (requires 88 TT levels, 88 summoning and Wolf Whistle).
   
4. Upgrade to a divine spirit shield - Smiddi will use it. (Requires 96 TT levels, 90 prayer, 85 smithing, the blessed spirit shield donated and the player must spend 10m gp).
   

[/hide]

 

[hide=Rolayne]Focus on low-level all-round skilling and random combat. Not bad for an old man. This requires events that make these useful such as telegrabbing keys.

1. Teach the secrets of low-level skilling and magic - Rolayne will use low level curses, bolt spells and Crumble Undead, Bind, Low alchemy and Telekinetic grab (requires 70 TT levels and 50 in all stats.).
   
2. Ability to donate combat equipment - Rolayne will use all three attack styles according to his opponent's weakness (requires 80 TT levels, rune platebody and legs, green dragonhide body and chaps, mystic top and skirt and the player must spend 120k tokens).
   
3. Teach the secrets of medium-level skilling and magic - Rolayne will use high level curses, wave spells, Entangle and High alchemy (requires 88 TT levels and 70 in all stats).
   
4. Ability to donate a full void set - Rolayne will use it to tribrid (requires 96 TT levels and all regular void items but deflector).
   

The skill levels are used to do tasks such as lighting fires and cooking food. Basically, the skilling upgrades makes him provide some coins, food, potions and familiars, complete events and such. He will kill snails and cook meat in the ghast-attacked travellers event and such. This is the hardest ability to be made to work, but making him bank loot would make him popular enough :P.[/hide]

 

 

Suggestions and improvements please :D.

[A_Gardener]

I've always thought TT was a bit too undeveloped; as much as I enjoyed the rework (to the point where I had maxed all the characters ages ago), it still needed a few things IMO, like a way of checking exp gains (to judge which ways are most effective in leveling them). However, the main thing I felt the characters lacked (apart from, well, character) was AI. They all do exactly the same thing and try to attack whatever you're fighting, and don't know when to stop/safespot.

 

If TTv2 were to be implemented, I would like either the AI to be improved, so that there are differences in the way each character acts, or I would like us to exert some control over their actions. The system they used in Salt in the Wound and the Sagas (when you controlled the Signature trio) was a bit clunky, but it could be improved.

[Quyneax]

Yeah definitely I'd want to see at least all rangers/mages running away from opponents between attacks, all meleers positioning to safespot opponents etcetera. Dean should be more of a tank and try to defend the player, Smiddi should stay behind and safe while healing. And part of Rolayne's personality is that he sucks at combat but still goes zerg :D.

 

Any comments on TTv2 abilities?
