rant

CCFs are never mind-twisting, they're just vaguely worded and/or poorly administered so that you think you've got the correct answer, but you don't.

It's not like it damages the game or anything to have one though.

 

Yeah the number of times they give no explanation of how a puzzle is meant to be solved and after mind-bending over it for an age to suss it out you find out some dingbat made the image up wrong so you got the wrong answer.

Runescape isn't a social network. I see no reason for Jagex to create training methods to improve the social aspects of the game. If you want top exp gains you should be willing to sacrifice something. That's why i find myself a bit unhappy about Runespan too. It would have been much better if it either cost a lot, or wasn't afkable at all. Releasing a training method with exp gains in the region of 100k exp/h at 0 or little cost is stupid. If this keeps up we're looking at 1 click agility courses and afkable bosses in the near future.

 

I entirely disagree.

Yes it is not a social network, but it is an MMORPG and the whole point of playing an MMORPG over a single player rpg is that it has a community that you can interact with and make in-game friendships and alliances etc. etc. The very definition of what an MMORPG should be is something where you are both playing the game AND being sociable be that sociability formalised necessity in team games or random chit chat while trianing.

Alright, then double the exp gain of traditional RC pushing ZMI up to ~110k/h formthe average player and half the exp from Runespan. Players should not be able to have the best exp for minimum effort. It makes no sense.

 

It's a GAME its meant to be fun, not something where you absolutely have to expend masses of effort to be the best.

I don't see why people have such a problem with being able to do gain good xp while having fun and chatting in something we are supposed to be playing for fun anyway.

 

Beisdes it's not like anything is 100% no effort, you still have to pay some attention and expend a reasonable amount of effort for even the most afk trianing methods (that aren't abhorrently slow xp)

So now because it's a game and it's meant to be fun we should be able to gain exp without having to do anything/much.

Okay then. I don't see the fun in this.

Long lines of (Willow) fires oh the memories! Well Bonfires should be nice since they are nice to make IRL. Scared of the QBD to Solo. Quest will prpbaby do it in about 1 year. I agree that Optiomus will be released without being in the BTS. :thumbup:

Hey, she has a level 60 summoning requirement.

 

Apart from that you should be able to take her on if you can do the Fight Kiln. It's less of an endurance fight than the Kiln and perhaps more similar to Nomad in terms of having to dodge attacks etc.

 

We're still tweaking the difficulty now.

 

Anyway I have to shut up now otherwise Mod_Mark is going to hit me for giving away spoilers.

 

Thought this was pretty interesting.

I hope they do something creative with the Dragon Kiteshield and not just make it a better D square.

I'm pleased to see the bonfires because it was a well received suggestion that is literally as ancient as runescape classic.

 

I am also pleased to see the QBD and am hoping to see its release on crandor.

 

I don't get why people are still nagging I about the 10 year cape. There are more 10 year vets I think than is let on.

What like a special effect or something? I kinda hope not, it wouldn't really feel like a set if a single piece did something special. I'm sure in the end the other new "dragon-themed gear" will overshadow the kite anyway.

 

What I'm wondering is if this new dungeon will actually be the rework or an offshoot of the Brimhaven Dungeon. Also curious as to what they'll do with spike/gold trim kits in light of the plate set being "complete".

Well at least a significant and unique amount of soak would be nice. No need to make it high-tier or endgame, but a practical use. Perhaps make it the chaotic kiteshield's non-chaotic counterpart, in the same way Farseer matches with the Arcane? (Loosely, at least.)

I'm very interested in the QBD, not having much playing time makes bossing with others difficult. Even if the Dragon Kite isn't that good, hopefully she drops other worth while items that make me want to stay there :thumbup: And maybe even the dungeon leading to her will be good! :thumbsup:

99 Strength 99 Fletching 99 Range 99 Hitpoints 99 Attack

99 Dungeoneering <3 99 Magic 99 Smithing 99 Herblore

99 Theving

Slayer Drops: 14 whips, 22 D boots, 27 Granite Mauls, 42 Effigies, 5 Dark Bows.

What would be cool is if Drakan and his minions kill all the sig heroes in the quest except Raptor who is wrecking. You and him team up and cave in some vampyre heads. He becomes a total bro in future quests and in a GM quest he receives a fatal injury and his last dying words to you are "Brofist, mang"

My guess is they will either add kits for the kite to the QBD's drop list or just add them to existing rewards for elite clues. That or they'll just make the existing kits work for square and kite shields which is probably unlikely.

I am probably more excited at the prospect of being able to acquire a dragon kite (and complete my full set) at some point in the future than anything else (I'll wait fro a reasonable price though, which hopefully wont be too long since the DFS should still be better). I also wish Optimus had been announced, which would give me faith it was actually coming out this month. Ah well.

 

And as always, a new quest is nice. Interested to see who this boss fight will be with, since I have no idea.

 

Not exactly a super month though, at least not for me :P

 

 

Oh, and of course the cryptic clue fest is always good.

Glad we're finally getting a quest with The Raptor, even if it is seemingly only a build-up to the QBD. Maybe he'll actually be as powerful as he claims to be.

This is probably the thing that has piqued my interest the most, Nomad is still my favorite boss fight and having a boss similar to him that's repeatable with new rewards excites me beyond belief. Overall this sounds like a pretty good month, good enough to get me playing consistently again.

Wouldn't it be neat if the Kiteshield were untradeable, meaning you needed to get it yourself.

 

I feel like perhaps they could add some kind of set effect now that there's actually full dragon. Give us a reason to go fight the QBD

 

 

idk

a range of new dragon-orientated gear

dragon c'bow! :rolleyes:

 

but really...would be kind of nice if dragon throwing knives were a common drop for guaranteed profit and then dragon kiteshield was kind of a big ticket item (think glacors, but knives instead of shards and kiteshield instead of boots)

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

QBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow parts

CR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size.
...
It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

You both have a great idea here. I am fairly certain we will see the crossbow, knives and Maybe the warhammer too. They might even pawn the shortsword off on it too. Somewhere they mentioned it would be an instanced fight which will be similar to the nomad boss fight.

Well, technically there's always the Dominion tower if you want to fight him again... twice. :P

 

This month looks pretty average, not bad, not fantastic, just okay. The Dragon Kiteshield has about a 98% chance of just being a bog standard shield that scales with the rest of the armour that is only really decorative. I'm glad they're finishing off the armour set at last, though, I like completeness.
