But seriously, so this is the epic hybrid armour? Unobtainable by casual players? great thinking, jagex....

 

This pretty much pissed me off. It's like they're screaming "You can only obtain this armour if you have a fat wallet, maxed skills and possess the best equipment in the game which would still probably be better then these hybrid gears."

 

If the drop rate isn't fixed soon, They're going to have their hands full with pissed off high-level casuals like me. I love CW, but im not [bleep]ing spending 50,000 hours playing everything else just for an armour set to wear.

Unobtainable and, it appears, utterly useless unless you're in certain mini-games that allow you to use the armour for PvP situations while wearing the full set ...

Any word on the Thieving gear?

Not got any or seen anyone with any yet.

"The black ibis items provide a multiplier to your Thieving XP up to a maximum of 700 XP per action. The full set gives a 2.5% bonus. This boost can stack with other Thieving XP boosts."

I'd interpret that as if what you do gives (robbing dwarf trader or thieving from the Dorgesh-Kaan chest) 700xp then you get a 2.5% bonus, if it gives you 701xp+ then not.

While I agree with the drop-rate, what's wrong with a portion of an update focussed on activities is also being focussed on activities? You're sounding silly.

 

I think a number of these pieces could very well be mixed with existing pieces to create some nice def/atk bonuses, you might lose a fifteen percent bonus but we didn't have it before so it won't hurt to do it now.

From reports I've seen the rarity curve drop off is quite steep; so after the first item from a game the later 2 follow quite quickly; which seems like a bit of a saving grace.

In his study of 8 hours of Fight Pits, getting approx 30-40 wins/hour, Godly Cheese reported a total of 7 item drops. Within these 7 items, the last 6 came within the last 50 minutes of his game time, with 2 of them even being back to back.

 

That would agree with the theory that there is a distinct drop-off point.

 

EDIT : Interestingly, Nuke, a lot of people report their hybrid tops coming in at the 35k tokkul mark.

Even if it's a dumb story, telling it changes other people just the slightest little bit, just as living the story changes me. An infinitesimal change. And that infinitesimal change ripples outward-ever smaller but everlasting. I will get forgotten, but the stories will last. And so we all matter-maybe less than a lot, but always more than none.

Pretty sure that the tokkul reward at the end of a game is the total combat levels of all the defeated. :mellow:

300 times killing a level 120? Owch :ohnoes:

[bleep]ing idiots. Get rid of the damn bots and this update would be good. Soul Wars is 100% bots, no actual players go there except now to get these gears. Pest Control is 80% bots. Fight Pits is stupid and pointless - no one goes there, everybody goes to clan wars for a reason. Castle Wars is the only minigame oops I mean activity that's only semi-decent, but that minigame already has it's special suit rewards which increase damage.

 

Make these gears available for ALL combat minigames I mean activities (including POHs) and then this update would be good.

 

Who the hell would get these gears for Pest Control or Soul Wars? FFS they are all bots. It's not fun killing mass amounts of bots for over 15 minutes.

There are several nonmacro players that enjoy Pest Control and Soul Wars. Just because you have no experience with these minigames and just because they are botted (What isn't?) doesn't mean actual players don't enjoy it. That's almost like saying that everyone who cuts Yews or Ivy is a bot.

Traded kills for about two hours now. Nothing. :(

 

Based on the fact most reports so far first item came at rough same point you need 500 wins before you get it.

So trading kills thats 1000 games.

So even at 10 seconds a game u'd be looking at nearly 3 hours.

Using a more realistic 30 seconds - 1 minute it'd be 8 hours - 16 1/2 hours
