22-Nov-2011 - RuneScape Revolution v3 & Anti-Gold Farming Measures V2

[Nero]

Pretty cool that DGS gets a big fancy logo on the clan hiscores page.

Lol yea saw that.

[Dire_Wolf]

I wonder what bosses have gotten their respawn increased?

I guess Bandos, KQ, Zamorak, etc

[NukeMarine]

Hmm, looks like exploiting f2p has been shot in the foot. Given you can still kill trade, the only way is with unnoted expensive items. Unless I'm mistaken, that's only with rares which I doubt will happen. Normal players looking to make pures can still get their "donation" so there shouldn't be too many complaints. Time to see how it'll pan out.

[Scherzo]

I just went up over 500k ranks in Woodcutting :thumbsup:

 

Great work on the trade restrictions though. I don't think that's anything that would prevent new players from starting the game (though there might be some other reasons, of course) But i hope they will give up on the stance that f2p is a separate game - it's turning more and more into a demo, but imo there's nothing wrong with that.

EDIT : THE ADVISOR BUTTON IS GONE OH GOD YESSSSSSSS

Why is that so great? I loved it, was a nice quick access to the forums or to be logged in on the homepage. It was nice. :(

[Mercifull]

How come mining golds gets a custom clan logo?

[Kirschen]

I am alright with the new interface change, but can't seem to understand why people make a giant deal out of those changes when they'll end up getting used to them within a week tops. As for the trade restrictions, I am glad they are continuing to patch up the hole they mostly covered with botting.

 

Of course, my opinion of their Hiscore change hasn't altered one bit.

 

Overall, mostly good week. Still waiting for the new dungeon.

The site/forum login process is now much smoother nand quicker, so not really a problem.

[Octarine]

"Overload potion timers are no longer delayed when an interface is opened. "

 

Even without going into the hideous new site and interface, this is enough to ruin the update for me :(

[Stewie_Griffen]

Hey look guys, the hiscores update made Jagex lose all of their fanbase. :P

 

I like the new website and I can't see the forums yet so I'll figure out what they've done there eventually. I think this means the end of RS Wiki though. The trade update was clearly very well thought out and doesn't take anything away from existing players. Once the existing RWTers are banned, it should have more of an effect.

[Scherzo]

Dungeoneering Surgeboxes can now be left-click equipped.

 

That was about time, wasn't it?

[Winarr]

I like the "tooltip on mouse" now. Also gone from 61k overall to 49k. And about 50k melee ranks, didnt realise there were sooo many inactive/banned players.

[Kirschen]

Only three of my F2P skills are 100k+ ranks now due to the update.

 

I don't feel like I really achieved anything from jumping tens of thousands of ranks because they removed F2P from it. I find it amusing they titled the top 10 "Hall of Heroes".

[Youmu]

gf stats.

[Maximusa]

Nice

 

 

 

 

High

..Can they waste anymore space if they tried?!! Even more space wasted than previously.

 

Might comment more later - Helping gf move house atm. Annoyed names are gone from HS.. I gone up two smith ranks =/

 

edit: Just quickie look at game. Hope sk removes that banner at top lol >.< My monitor looks widescreen with it. Rest is fairly interesting but cant look properly right now.

 

The players online concerns me but im not sure how many it usually is tbh. Seems ... low.

[Askthedude]

One Piercing Note is now f2p?

Didn't see that mentioned... :wall:

[Nobody]

[Den]

Really like the new website in general. Looks very... mmo-y. :P

The ingame interface looks cool, but some areas are very bulky and big imo. (Chatbox having an arrow through my private messages and the different tabs in the right corner look very big.

 

Having max in every skill, I was surprised how much I went up in some things.

Changeable in settings.

[Krampell]

Yay for new interface and boss respawn rate.

 

Meh on other things.

[Ellac]

 

Not even gonna mention the cat-puke excuse for text..

 

EDIT: Of course I figure out how to fix this RIGHT after I post a screenshot. :wall:

[The Runar]

Hmm... <_<

 

[Kirschen]

My main issue is the text itself. It's horrible.

 

Also, does anyone see the "everywhere" meme thing with their. R.A.F promotion thing?
