stonewall337 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Come play wow. There is actual endgame there. And leveling is fun :P But srsly effigies were implemented stupidly, but they shouldn't have been nerfed like this.

Sy_Accursed Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Quest is definitely nothing special, very short, not difficult, not that much lore at all. Only really major thing about the update is the effigy change :(. Yeah such a small amount of lore I mean we ONLY learnt that:The Thzaar were original the Tokhaar and are corrupted by merely living where they doDead Thzaar in Tokkul feel pain and thus its quite barbaric.Tokhaar were created by the Elder Gods to build the mountains of runescape.The Elder gods are supposed to return some day.Zamorak was after the power of the Kiln. There is a heck of a lot of lore there just in the Elder God things alone; more than we get in most quests even in the lore heavy series like elves or myreque.Lore says:Powerful beings we already knew are lesser corrupted versions of other beings who are otherwise much the same. They built mountains. This doesn't really mean anything at all other than that there's another power source (Stone of Jas #2 please) and another aeons-old guardian (Dragonkin #2) and another lesser version (Dragons #2). So the cliché is nicely explained.It doesn't say they were created by the Elder Gods as far as I know.Tokkul feel pain is a nice touch but hardly relevant to anything at all.Zamorak was after every source of power, so meh. The only interesting thing about it is the connection with Char, but that isn't explored at all. It says they were made by their masters to build the mountains of the land long before it had its current name; they don;t specifically say Elder Gods but its blindingly obvious.Runescape got its name (Glienor sp?) when Guthix named it.Guthix did not created the world, he merely found it.The Elder Gods made the world before they left it for reasons unknown. It's pretty clear the 'Masters' who made creatures from the 'Lava of Creation' to make the mountains of the world and who now await their 'Masters' return quite neatly ties in with the 'Elder Gods' who made the world and are now absent. Especially as they do reference making ALL the mountains from the frozen north, to the desert plains to the jungles etc. So it is clearly shown these creatures had the purpose of making all mountains in the world, and now await further instruction; not that they are just a race who were created that can make mountains. It'd have to be something pretty convoluted and nonsensical to make it so the Tokhaar Masters are not the Elder Gods being as both had a hand in making the world and neither reports of their being 2 groups to do this. Though Tokhaar lore does imply other magical races exist who must of built other parts of the world (eg the plants, the seas the skys etc.) Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jettrider Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Complaining about no more stockpiling effigies? Heaven forbid having high level stats would give you an advantage. Who wants a game that involves strategy in the order in which you do things? 2496 Completionist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Where in RS/lores/etc. does it say the Elder Gods created Gielinor (honest question)? And don't give me anything about implications, it says what it says. To me, it's possible the Elder Gods also found a world left by Even Elder Gods whose creations kinda messed up, and then the Elder Gods' creations messed up again, clearing the way for the current generation. Or with however many iterations you want to do that.

Ezkaton Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Loving the Runeshark one xD The guys are so funny. At any rate... Just heard off my friends that DG is impossible too due to constant DC's and doorlag lags peoples RS to crash... So they've destroyed one of the main things I slay for, and now they've made the game so crappy that I can't DG... I just... Words fail me at how depressing this is... Goddamn.

Cloud1924 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 @ PEOPLE DOING KILN RIGHT NOW Is melee with Torva+divine a viable option for it, or is it a range-safespot-fest? (I'd watch the videos but my bandwith is garbage.) Thanks in advance! And so the world will end. I think a victim of love rather than hate, for love's ever been the more destructive weapon, sure.

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.

Sy_Accursed Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I don't see the HUUUGGGEEEE issue with effigies.In terms of standard slaying they aren't all that common anyway.Their original design purpose was that you used them as you got them for a nice little boost to skills opposed to entirely overwriting doing any normal training in a skill. Just sets things a bit closer to their original purpose, its not like effigyscaping is entirely impossible; it just means you have to open as you get opposed to stock piling hundreds. And that perhaps a few more people with get them assisted to access the good bit (the lamp) opposed to trying to wait until they can do it all themselves.It's not even like most of the effigies are that hard to open yourself if you put the effort in, most of the necessary levels for boosting are only a day or 2 of work. mine/smith and rc/sum are probably the only 2 that are really definitely slow to get the stats for.
