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.

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?

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.

So.. Alg, and Nex, and perhaps MAther, would you like to try Wizardry online or no.

Possibly. I'm probably not going to be playing much outside of Fire Emblem for a while, though. Assuming it actually arrives <_<

Even so, at least you're not bound to choosing melee, ranged or magic at the start, you can even use either two at once now.

... 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.

Does anyone here play/want to learn to play MTG? There's a free online program for it.

I have the game on Steam (Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013), but I don't think I've ever played it.

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.

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.

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).

I got like 10 million gold a while ago.

 

But it's not on my account and I don't know how to get it there.

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.

Just a note, prayer still takes off about half of the damage from that type (And comes with other boosts, if you're so inclined), so it's definitely worth using.

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.

Least favourite Runescape memory: trading green h'ween mask for black legs (t). It's like a knife through my heart when I think about it.

Apologies if you guys think I should've been more.. Here over my local Spring Break,. burt I've been rather horribly ill from the day before it started up till now, when I'm feeling a bit better. So, yeah, apologies for being off and away, I s'pose.

Nobody believed me on the bear cavalry

 

I tried to amass a squad of bear cavalry in Napoleonic Hegemony (Dusty was the moderator), but he didn't go for it.

Are u trolling

Surprisingly, no

 

Imperial Russia + Bear Cavalry = Badass

Oh, I was getting a bit upset there. Seems both you and iconic had the idea.

 

 

Retech is Hex!

 

But on a related note, I remember that I found the idea off some idea that was reposted on this forum.
