Nexaduro Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Seems like just a more limited version of Pathfinder/DnD in a game engine to me. If we're going to play an MMO, shouldn't we at least find one that permits some more freedom than 5 basic races and 4 basic classes?[bleep] you, Mather. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Earth Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Seriously, Mather, if you don't want to play the game then give a more valid reason than just "There's not enough choice in characters". Is there anyone ELSE willing to try out the game?

Alg Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Runescape...You're greatly overestimating the amount of freedom that Runescape gives you.It loses a lot of its variety once you get to the higher levels. Sure, you can train anything you want, but there's very little that you can actually do with most of those skills, and a lot of the time there's little more than a cosmetic difference between the way you train them.

Earth Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 So.. Alg, and Nex, and perhaps MAther, would you like to try Wizardry online or no.

Alg Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Possibly. I'm probably not going to be playing much outside of Fire Emblem for a while, though. Assuming it actually arrives <_< I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 ... Same with this one, Mather. you can hybrid between classes and learn the skills in between. It's an easy quest, too. Well not all of them, some classes are alignment based, actually.

Nexaduro Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Does anyone here play/want to learn to play MTG? There's a free online program for it. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Alg Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I have the game on Steam (Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013), but I don't think I've ever played it. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Assuming Mather still reads this thread:You have to do The World Wakes. You have the requirements (Not sure about the gear, barrows armor is enough and I can lend a weapon/food/potions if you need them).You keep bringing up how good 'Scape's lore is, this is the game at its best.

The_Mather1 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I know, and I love the quest as I'm a Zarosian-Guthixian, but I'm stuck at fighting Kree'arra and even if I bring a full inventory of food I need extreme luck in order not to be killed in a lag spike. If only the sizzeling summer rewards were stil in effect, then I could just use a dart on him.Also the basic teachings of Armadyl were just as I expected them to be. When it comes to the gear, I'm nearly as equipped as I can be. For melee I go with full dragon (plate body, med helm) with barrows gloves, obsidian cape, amulet of glory, warrior ring abyssal whip and off-hand dragon scimitar. For mage I go splitbark with crown of subjugation, barrows gloves, tok-kul-zo (until it was reverted to money on death), Guthix cape (until Guthix reclaimed it on death) and ancient staff.If I'm to defeat Kree'arra, I'll need to upgrade my melee set to Bandos (I dislike degradable equipment), something I can't afford, and for the two other bosses, I'll probably need to upgrade my mage set to subjugation. Going ranged is out of the question, as the only lower combat related stat I have is summoning. Twitter: @TheMather1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Mather1 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The Barrows set ends up being much cheaper when you start slayer, as it saves you on other consumables like prayer pots (which I assume are even more expensive than when I played).Actually, I think they're cheaper now because there are better alternatives.Also since the protection prayers no longer give 100% protection, prayer isn't really that useful. Food isn't an issue for me; I fish and cook my own monkfish, and I never use pots unless I need a skill boost to finish a quest.

The_Mather1 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I find that the time taken to activate and deactivate prayers and the need to keep my prayer points stocked outweigh the benefits of using them. Additionally if it is to really make a difference in a battle, you need to use several at once, which drains way too fast unless you substitute armor for prayer gear. The only use I've had for prayer since the introduction of EoC is the Rapid Heal prayer to speed up resting in safespots.
