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.

All I see is Jagex attempting to fix a mistake they made by making a further mistake, somehow managing to make a hasty decision out of one that they postponed too long. It's like they're the master of making poor decisions.

 

They should have at least bothered to overhaul their slowest skills with something that was more...sane.

 

As for not training the skills you don't like, ever since they introduced elite tasks, that was kind of thrown out of the window in favor of leveling a whole bunch of irrelevant skills in order to be able to access certain important abilities, like increasing bolt specs, or super enhanced excalibur.

It looked as if the actual climb of waves was harder than the main fight it's self. The main fight looked alot like a quest fight...

Either way, don't think i'd be getting one for a while :(

Not a bad quest, really enjoyed the visuals. You know, except for the [bleep]tarded way they've set up the entire TzHaar cavern now. Most of it is even emptier than before, and makes finding everything a trial of patience. On top of that my world map no longer works; It loads an indefinite black screen which I can only get out of by guessing where the x should be.

The fight in the Kiln was actually a tad challenging, but only because I didn't take that many supplies to begin with and used a fair bit in the caves leading to it.

Unfortunately at the end I spent 20 minutes looking for the little shit that had just been with me when we were ACTUALLY supposed to talk to one of the mystics in the center. So. [bleep]ing. Aggravating. This is why real games have waypoints.

At least all of the monsters look awesome now. I'm going to do the old Fight Caves just to see all of them. Damn shame there was no graphical update to either of the old capes. The new super difficult to get cape looks like it was originally intended to be the Obsidian Cape.

Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.

Effigys were pretty stupid anyway, Dont get the problem. Its just like RS was a year or so ago with a little bonus for combat training now.

 

OH EM GEES NOW YOUZ GOTTA TRAINZ DEM SKILLZ.

Dungeoneering is stupid as well, we should nerf that. Way too powerful weapons. Make it so you get 20% less xp for each chaotic you have?

Slayer is honestly really stupid, could do with a nerf, you can kill those creatures way too easily with fsh boost. Maybe 20% less combat xp on task?

 

I mean, just because you think it's stupid, is not a reason to spoil it for others.

What? They are the worst comparisons ive ever seen.

I disagree with miracle's first post, but he is right here. They are bad comparisons.

 

Maybe if using a chaotic gave you fishing XP it would work, but it doesn't so they don't link.

They weren't meant to be the same sort of things, but ridiculous complaints. Which, judging by your reactions, they are. People did complain about all sorts of things being "too powerful". I'm saying that just because they are very powerful (game-changing in terms of what you can do to level) you don't need to nerf it.

I'm going to assume it'll be the festival headgear that was on the Brazilian Runescape Facebook page.

Its the 4th year thing right? +1 Day in Feb = Carnival?

It's party time......almost! Soon these beautiful hats will appear in Gielinor, ready for an exciting new update, but do you know what they're for?

I didn't see anything of the sort though. Just some weird stuff about the KBD and Kalphite Queen getting married.

They never intended for them to become so prevalent to RS. They were supposed to be a little bonus. All they did was fix their mistake

 

If they truly intended to fix their mistake, then it would have been better to lower the exp rewards and rework how they are dropped (ie hitpoints, level, etc). This just makes very little sense, and the botched, mish mashed lore coverup for when you log in is ridiculously out of place.

Not happy with the effigy change at all. There's no difference if you want to collect them or open them at once .. I feel sorry for the people that were saving to open them by themselves.

 

Instead of focusing on FPS & bot issues they do this .. Guess I can't collect 200 effigies. <_<

My guess is that the effigy rate will be slashed in half (1 effigy every 2 hrs at crawlers)

:thumbdown:

 

How long did the quest take for people that have done it? Not really happy that the cape is a requirement for comp cape, especially for people that can't afford expensive equipment, and have FPS issues, etc.

 

The cape should have some smoke or something..a golden trim, idk .. It looks somewhat boring right now.

Jagex is a bunch of trolls. It's officialllllll

 

I swear it's a contest for who implements the stupidest update.

 

- remove F2P hiscores

- remove only *some* forms of gambling, enforce others

- failed trade limit on newbie accounts

- rolling back stats/bank on botters

- allowing banned persons to buy account back for cash

- failed anti-bot updates

- reduce emergent game-play in every conceivable area of the game

 

and nowwww

 

-nerf all effigies

That's not a cape, that's...portable drywall on your back, the hell.

 

It really is ugly as hell. Not only does it look like your carrying some kind of building material on your back as opposed to wearing a cape but I'm pretty sure the weight of it would crush your windpipe.

lol@Jagex's brilliant idea for a cape. It's an upside down Christmas tree that you can carry on your back! For all your lumbering needs. How innovative. :P
