Utopia Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I don't understand why you'd support this. Effigyscaping was a nice alternative to skills you had no desire to train, and it wasn't considerably faster. All this does is narrow the training options for players who can't open all effigies. I'm not an effigy farmer, but it's disappointing that I have to miss out on a lot of xp opening effigies through assists.

hatebringer Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I have an issue in that I can no longer get effigys while killing things. I want to earn ALL of the exp not a small portion of it going to me and the rest, almost 70k+ to other people because i do not have the requirements to open them and i do not want to simply waste them. So im stuck in a catch 22 where I want to train slayer but i cant train slayer because i need to open effigys in order to slay and earn effigy bonuses from slayer, but cant because i already have 5+... so i either train all these other skills or just dnt do anything, not to mention i dnt have the money or even close to the money needed to level up the skills i need to be self-sufficent. Why not just make it so you can only get like 1 effigy per invent or something else??

The_Fray Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I don't really see the big deal about the effigy thing.People stopped training skills legitimately once effigies came out. Now they are butthurt that they don't have an easy way out of training skills.No... It's Jagex's fault for making the game function this way. It makes absolutely no sense that I now have to go find someone with the required skills to open my effigies. This is a stupid update.I put the blame on Jagex for creating Effigies in the first place. I am disappoint about the update too, but all I see is Jagex fixing a mistake they made long ago. Except it doesn't fix that. People will still use effigies, they will just spare skills like slayer for after their 97 effigy skills. So it just makes more troublesome, without solving anything.You have heard the phrase "Don't fix what isn't broken" right? Effigies were pretty broken, and they were fixed. I agree that effigies turned this game in the wrong direction, since I think skills should be trained by doing them. However, my point is that this didn't fix effigies. I can still train my rc level by effigy-scaping, I just can't hoard effigies before I get the skills to do them. If they lowered the xp an effegy gives, made them more rare, or even took them out of the game, then it would be fixing the problem they created.But they made it to where you can't go from 91 to 99 Runecrafting in 1 day using effigies.See its stuff like this that makes me question whether you truly have any knowledge on what you are commenting on.

Aslan Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Because those skills suck yet you need them for various reasons. It's done. Maxing = kaput. No way in hell I'm going to run around for hundreds of hours when I could kill stuff and still get decent xp( no I don't mean simply farming effigies, rather slaying after 99 for example, you know doing what you enjoy.) Maybe maxing will become more respectable now. I'm playing this game for fun not respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Paul Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The problem is that nobody knew what would happen with Effigies a month or even a few months after their release. Not everyone is an Effigyscaper too, so about 95% of players are unaffected by this update and won't even know the difference.That's ridiculous, just like you're saying 'effigyscapers' are 'butthurt' I could say you are, because you are a bit unlucky with effigy drops. I'm not sure how many people get effigy drops at reasonable intervals, but it's definitely much more than 5%, given the popularity of Assist Clan, w117 Daemonheim and the number of people hunting cave crawlers etc. This isn't about whether effigies should provide less xp. It's about the way of nerfing them. This way, everyone who has an effigy right now has to dump it ASAP to get the better xp rates. It basically penalizes you for playing the way the game was meant to be played. Because playing to achieve your goal is how the game is meant to be played. I got my last effigy in November. Wanna know why? Like MOST people who play Runescape, I do NOT farm them. My life of Runescape does not revolve around spamming cavecrawlers so I can level agility. I could care less about effigies because I hardly ever get them doing the things I enjoy in Runescape. I'm sorry if you are still mad and all about Runescape not being fun anymore because it just got a little more challenging for you. Before mummies, I hadn't received an effigy since last May only because I wasn't training combat. At least there are only a few skills that I need to work on before I work on slayer. Personally, I think Jagex will change this. This screws over people who have effigies from slayer and don't like skilling like crazy before slayer.

Tasks which were good are now bad because you cannot use effigies as a justification to do them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be to fix some issues with logging in via Facebook and certain trading problems. The fix for crashing whilst right-clicking stacks of items is known and a fix is currently being worked on, and will be released in a separate system update. Apologies for the inconvenience. Mod Easty Let down. And I got excited that Jagex were going to reverse their horrible decision...

I'm not lagging, my ping averages about 28, its poor game performance I have. I click and the action happens immediately I just don't see anything happen until several ticks later. This means prayer switching is imposible and its very difficult to see jads attacks. No I don't lag in Tetris.

I mean, I was furious when they removed the trade limit (a huge update just like this effigy nerf), but I moved on. I got over it, and I suggest that you do the same.
