1. well a finnaly needed update for the games room. i finnaly snagged a chance to play runeversi. its not as fun a rune sqaues but its ok.. squares on the other hand is a exelent game. it takes skill and a good brain. making squares while not letting your opponent to make them is harder than it looks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. a good cooking update. now it is possible to make food that heals 22 at a low lvl. pkers will be pleased. but the ingridents can be a nusicence to get

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. there not the best but there drops... well they arent to good either. the best i got after a hour was addy med mith chain and steel boots.

I'm not that crazy about this update. Hopefully Jagex is taking the time to come up with a very good update in the near future, so they're just releasing these small "fixes" :)

[darkside]

true but i bet the color blind people are happ :mrgreen: y i bet before the mysterious old man was a burden. :wall:

[tewas]

No-one will make these and even if they do they will be too expensive to pk with so they help no-one.

Plain and simple they suck, bad xp and bad drops Jagex are just trying to fill out the skill.

Actually colour-blind people had no trouble with the preceding one, they are effected by opposite colours looking alike something which that box had none of, people were simply complaining for the sake of complaining. This was also when they themselves werent colourblind and just wanted something to whine about.

When you have nothing better to do, the games in the game room can actually be pretty fun. Let's say your favorite game in the world was checkers, but you could never find anyone to play with. Log in to RS world 18 and BAM! There you go.

There are other uses for food than pking with. Let's say I like to KQ. 10 of those potatoes would heal as much as 11 sharks. So let's say I have 20 slots for food on my trip. Using those new potatoes would give me an extra 40 hp in my inventory. It may not seem like alot, but it can make all the difference.

Keep in mind, there are lower lvl players in the game. Newbs need something to slay as well, so don't think only about yourself in these updates.

Actually colour-blind people had no trouble with the preceding one, they are effected by opposite colours looking alike something which that box had none of, people were simply complaining for the sake of complaining. This was also when they themselves werent colourblind and just wanted something to whine about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are several different types of colorblindness. The most common type just makes it difficult to differentiate between colors when they are placed close together. A less common form, however, renders one completely unable to see colors. In other words, certain unlucky people really do only see the world in black and white and shades of gray.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 in 10 men and 1 in 12 women have color blindness to some degree.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep other people in mind when you are considering these things. Just because an update has no use to you doesn't mean that it's completely useless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Although I will side with you on one point ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We need some slayer monsters that don't suck. Like another Abyssal Demon or something. Pity that dark beasts don't drop anything unique.

[Aus_Fighter]

I will stay f2p for another week not ganna waste money on this update :P

Yeah, my colourblind friend, who by the way is only colour blind to like blue and red had to QUIT because of the boxes! Frogmite don't be so selfish...

[Bellatrix]

The new slayer monster is a failure - Even when considering newbies needs and everything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note, that the group you need to consider is "newby slayers", and not "newby runescapers". Most players begin as f2p, and aproach the slayer skill much later, after they become p2p. So, the majority of players that train slayer, begins with at least medium or medium-high combat level.

 

 

 

If that is the case, then you advance the low and medium-low slayer levels very quickly. i was about lv50-55 combat when I began slayer.my first tasks was 55 ghosts, the next one 60+ wolves, etc - I reached lv 35-40 slayer in a couple of dayes, and then, just then, the progress became slower, and real slower in lv50+.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The meaning of all this is simple: low and medium-level slayer do not need much new special slayer creatures for "entertainment" (means: more short-range goals to make the training more interesting). They advance quickly enough till lv 40-45. as for low-level slayer creatures - the only reason to hunt them (unless you get them as slayer task) is their drops. Take cockatrice as a good example: they are low leveled, yes. they defiently dont drop rune armor etc - but their common allotment seed drops makes them good for farmers, in adition for nice amount of runes (law and nats), limps. and lv2 clues. pyrfiends are slain for their chaos and fire runes, gold ores and stell boots, banshees have many herbs and essences, and even crawling hands have somthing special - balanced, but still special.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What I say is, that the new moster missed both possible goals.

 

 

 

Drops are very similar or even less good then pyrefiends - and pyrefiends are much better for training itself (from several aspects).

 

 

 

The choise to place the new creature in lv32 slayer is the second miss. what is really required is more cretures to fill the medium and medium-high levels (45-70), when progress become slower and slower, and the more advanced and "legendary" slayer monsters are still far away. that is the points where many players despaire and quit training.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So - new creature, big dissapointment.

[Suzumori]

I had the new monster for a slayer asignment. One thing you do get a ton of is fire runes . Durring my asignment i had to kill 90 of them and got about 900 fire runes from drops.

[vicfung3]

i could probably get that amount from fire giants too =\

[Bellatrix]

or else from pyrefiends (not to mention that fire runes are bad for selling, and easly replaced by a staff of fire).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for the cooking update, I think it is a good update, from 2 main reasons:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. It gives more uses for farming crops (aside from eating them or using them as compost). I hope for updates and future options also with other crops, like watermelons. papaya, etc (I once suggested the papaya with red wine :-) ). Anything that makes farming more rewarding and more involved in other skills is a blessing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. It is balancing (a bit), the most unbalanced "food chain" - in which there are nearly fish, and fish alone. It was a bit of a problem, that the best food was so easy to get and cook (dephending only on plain fishing or/and cooking level). That situtation also helped alot to make the autoing plague even worse. I think things are now getting to the better direction - that new food still require high level cooking (gives a reason to keep training after lv60). it is not too comlictated to make, and it is usfull. whenever Im going to train upon high level monsters, I can stay there longer. It is also good for quests where medium level players must face 1 extream high-level foe for a final chalenge (grand tree, monkey madness, etc). It can also help fighting toe-to-toe against verac in barrows, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So - the new cooking update is good, and im waiting for more of that kind :-)

[jwrm22]

manta ray is also 22 hp... and about 5k each...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and all stuff you need for the tomato is cheaper?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sweatcorn goos for 1k each, buter + chees 1k, tuna 100 each

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

maybe cheaper but hard to make...

[Bellatrix]

sweetcorn goes for 1k each?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

can I sell u mine please? (joking 8) )

 

 

 

or did u refered to the seeds?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now seriously:

 

 

 

sweetcorn seed is not hard to get (kill some cockatrice, thay drop 3 in a time). butter is a headache, but still easy and costs nothing. tuna is the easiest thing to get in large amounts, if you got 35 fishing...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, It will be harder the gather 1k of those potatoes, but a normal player who wants to make 50 or 100 for his training or quest will not have much difficuly.

[Lionheart_0]

Im very happy about the potatoes, im in hopes that i can go to edgvill on a bussy pk world, and sell quite a few, i think 2k isnt a bad price... each.
