NOTE: Before reading, i find Soul wars fun.

 

why in the world do you have to play Soul Wars to get pets? It's a bad minigame for people to obtain pets. You use a BIG AMOUNT of time waiting each time to get into a game.

I got a Kurask head - but because Soul Wars seemed like a game where you waited more than you played, i stopped waiting any longer.

 

Now i want a Tzrek-Jad. But waiting seems like how the game is. For someone who wants to play Soul wars, waiting is OK for them.

But for someone like me who wants Zeals for pet, it's frustrating as hell. Not to mention i do want to have some fun in Soul wars with Dharok set...

 

This is how big of a failure Jagex is with the decision that pets should be obtained through Soul wars:

 

RS WIKI

Players in the waiting rooms may try to trick others out in an attempt to increase their own chance of getting in the game. They do this with several ways: by manually typing untrue Quick Chat in, a player can lie that "The blue team's avatar level is: 22." when in reality the blue team is winning and the red team's avatar is weaker; this may trick someone into joining the red team. Other ways involve pretending a famous player is in the other team, saying the door is stuck (to trick people into clicking it, leaving, and losing their priority), and telling everyone that someone outside the waiting room is lending a rare item (e.g. Dragon claws, Armadyl godsword) for a low price or free. Another way to do this is to do a "fake switch". This is done by having a bunch of players walk up to the barrier, but not click it, while some players say "switch." Other players might believe them and pass through the barrier. A protection prayer is often used in this method. This is the most common technique. This kind of trickery may fool a few people, but rarely enough to make a noticeable difference.

 

 

I wish they made it so that you could get TzRek in similar way as Phoenix cave, but also still keep the requirement that you need Fire cape to get it as well.

 

"You gave the Fire cape to the creature, it's grown attatched to you".

 

Something along like that.

Quite agree, the design is horrible. I prefer the Pest Control system (25 people and the game just starts) or the Stealing Creation system (can start clan vs. clan games & can't join lobby unless balanced teams).

Yeah, I've always avoided soulwars, even though it has the best xp reward by far, because of the ridiculous amount of waiting around you must do. It's just a bad system, i'd be much happier to wait less and get less reward but more action.

 

With that said, theres no reason to be upset. I can't afford full torva because it costs 600m. I can either accept that it's too much and never get it, or i can work my ass off making 600m to get it. What i can't do, is demand they give me it for less than 600m.

 

(Lol the last time i checked, torva was 1.5b... Now it's 600m i may actually start working my ass off :D)

Are you implying that's what i am doing with Soul Wars? Asking them to give me Jad pet for less than required?

Yep.

 

Yep.

Your obviously a fool then. The required time to spend on SW to get a JAd pet is like 16 hours if you win every time.

 

But because Soul wars minigame is so bad when it comes to allowing players to join agame - the time may become 10-15 hours extra = JUST WAITING in lobbies.

 

 

Again your a fool, and it's players like you that make Runescape a worse game.

 

 

You go to a game called Runescape, and go to a minigame inside the game called "Soul wars".

You wait 20 mins - and get skipped a game (20mins of waiting).

You get skipped again (+20 mins more of waiting).

 

 

Yes, "this is a genius" thing to require people to go through.

Because they do what they want, its runescape, you obviously dont play it for soulwars, but some other people do, either you respect that or remain looking like a fool trying to make someone your slave and do what you think is the right way to play runescape.

Also, many people whine and moan about runescape being too easy.

Well here you go, heres a challenge for you.

There is no difficulty to be overcome in lobby-sitting.

Boredom and the result of being logged out and losing priority/missing games/getting kicked out for empty activity bar and missing another game. All things that have happened to me. Best way to make Soul Wars bearable is to watch Netflix/Hulu/whatever.

They should take a look at how they can improve lobbies of minigames including Dungeoneering.

 

"How can we make the minigames (lobbies) flow better?".

 

Dungeoneering for example could maybe take same approach with lobbies as Barbarian Assault.

 

It may or may not make Dungeoneering better, but it's worth trying to improve the flow of the skill.

Nobody plays Soul Wars regularly, they bot it.

Massive assumption with no evidence, and plenty of evidence to the contrary in the form of Soul Wars clans on the RSOF.

You're implying that you deserve this pet but can't get it because the minigame sucks.

 

The minigame is one of the requirements.

 

You won't get your (useless) pet unless you play the awful minigame.

 

While i agree that the waiting needs to reduced and changed completely, i don't think they should let you not complete the requirements for receiving a (useless) pet. On the contrary, if they did change the minigame i think they should also increase the number of games required for the (useless) pet to take the same time as it did before the update, because others suffered that torture for the (useless) pet.

 

And it's "you're" not "your". What are you, a fool?

You're implying that you deserve this pet but can't get it because the minigame sucks.

 

No, i find the minigame fun. Read the title.

Bad explanation - your title implies that you never got to play the game properly and your main post speaks nothing to your enjoyment of the actual game itself. :P

Time to fix that :D
