I like this, letting ppl have a chance of geting to use items that i feel are being horded by ppl that have gain money from boting/ merching/Rares (there is ofc those that have saved up for these items threw painful skilling/killing, just not as many as it should be, due to the price.) (witch i feel is a middle hand taking money from those doing the work.)

 

This game is becoming less and les money/lvl focused, I like it, ofc not removing the concept of lvling total, but simply making it easier/more fun, removing some of the awful need ppl feel for barging. :rolleyes: (this is my opinion, don't troll me about it. :P )

You think?

 

1 in how many get a good item.. and still they gotta hope it is not a tribal or something but really something usefull and then it has to be one of those people you described.

Chances are low, but the effect is charming. People having a chance to win are happier than people who don't.

And here every1 has a chance.

 

A lot of research went into this update I believe, because of marketing being more involved and game analasys and more.

Me and the wise old man go way back.... he was a foolish boy back then.

So many people crying for no reason. Its no different than any lottery system.

 

Minimal rewards with the hope of huge payouts, that in the end makes jagex more money with subscribers.

 

I see this as a great update.

 

Except in a lottery you have to put something into it, and the house always win. If Jagex charged, and gave out 90% of the winnings every other day or w/e, it would combat inflation and actually not just be free items.

Silly question, but will members items expire after some time?

 

For example, if I win a godsword while in F2P, can I claim it at a later date, or will the offer expire if I don't subscribe within a certain time?

Unless they applied some special circumstances to these items (highly doubt it), you will always have the item and will be able to use it as soon as you get members. It won't ever disappear. For example, if you are a member and have loads of members items and then fall back to F2P, your members items will never disappear. They will always be available in your bank. You just can't use them until you get members.

I think they might have meant items won in the lottery which are members only.

Yeah I know :P Although I did misunderstand the situation slightly. For some reason I thought you could claim members items you won, just not use them. But it looks like you can't even claim them until you get members? I didn't totally realize that and thought he meant he would claim a members item but wondered if it would disappear if he didn't get members.

You have to subscribe to claim the item. (Huuuge dick move with obvious intentions of forcing subscriptions.) but if you do not claim it, it will be there the next day... BUT you can't take your next spins until you claim or discard it. So get stuck with one decent members item and you can't spin again unless you get members to claim it, or throw it away. (Would personally frustrate me with something like claws. Sure they're good, but i dunno if i wanna subscribe to get them, ely on the other hand is definitely gonna make me sub.

That is much better though, you can just leave the item lying there till you resubscribe. Considering how rare these items are, it isn't worth discarding for extra rolls.

Yet they removed effigies...

 

I think it's not even bad per sé to introduce untradeable variants of high-end gear. It's fun if you have to do something, but less, to gain that same benefit but not the bank value increase (like getting a fighter torso instead of a Bandos chestplate or farseer kite instead of arcane). It's just that right now, there is nothing there to promote skill, levels or commitment. This update is both extremely shallow and goes against the idea that good gear should be obtained further along in the game. The tiers of gear in the overworld are already pretty much nonexistent, but at least Torva requires a higher level to obtain (as drop) than Bandos. This update has no element like that.

There does seem to be a strategy behind where you hit stop and where it actually stops.

Hi uno dos tres:

 

"Did anyone else observe that the button to stop the flashing light has a 10 second delay, therefore defeating its purpose... Or is that intentional, meaning you cannot have any effect on the reward you'll receive?"

 

 

The outcome is totally randomised - the player's action (timing) does not affect the reward that comes out. The animation is not actually connected to the outcome, it's just fun to watch Yelp get punched in the face.

Oh. It must have just been luck that my two spins were somewhat relative to the outcome (same spot that I hit the button, one to the right). Thank you for clarifying.

Was just thinking the same. 2 exact same spins. Clicked it on the same spot and it stopped on the same spot.

Rune Platebody + Medium Lamp (any skill) -> 50gp + 1 Bronze Arrow

-> Rune Platebody + Small Lamp (any skill)

Still no new cosmetic items, on any of my spins. How are my hopes supposed to be summarily crushed if these things never show up??
