pvp scape

[jrkerr]

I watched tons of live vidding from EOC Beta testers who draw pay from ads at youtube for doing it who don't seem to know they'd get more money actually beta testing for Jagex, but then... ha ha ha... that'd mean Jagex leaves the business incubator and hires a whole bunch of customer support personnel... and why would they give up their cafeteria!? lol!

 

I think most will whine and whimper that claws changed, godswords changed, or that divine/elysian no longer reduces damage.

 

I do not care. Those are pvp concerns. They will get fixed. The reason they will get fixed is that jagex employees do not play as much of this game as we do. They might log in, walk by edgeville bank to announce some innocuous crap, and they'll never decide "oh hey maybe I should go talk to some slayers fighting cave horrors." Never going to happen.

 

I think a couple sucker punches are coming our way.

 

I think pernix boots, armadyl buckler, etc are going to be SoF rewards.

 

I don't think prayer bonus is simply nerfed for EoC Beta. I think they mean to leave it nerfed because they've never spent six hours in a day on slayer task and been forced to keep count of their kills/hours. The gall to ask slayers to absorb hits from dark beasts that pierce through prayer? Wow really!? This game will start coming with manual save files and loading like a console game!? This isn't an online game anymore subject to acts of god!? Nice going jigglyplex!

 

Guess they forgot ALL about the PRAYER level requirements of Spirit Shields! GRR!

 

*checks to make sure this is the rants forum*

 

edit: if there is a better thread/forum dedicated to rants specific to EoC Beta - please enlighten me.

 

edit 2: I am insanely angry that the full vanguard I collected for my range tab is now melee gear. WTF!? If I had known I would've collected trickster. Damn it!

I don't often post on rants, but I have to point these things out:

Firstly, a large number of Jagex employees play Runescape, and know their stuff when it comes to it.

Secondly, it's a beta for a reason, some things havn't been coded ingame yet (For example Kiln) Prayer Bonus might come in at a later stage, but for now, we have renewals, and they help a fair bit. :lol:

As for SoF items... No. Lucky versions, maybe. But a pure epic combat item, SoF only? No.

Honestly, I don't think anyone would really be surprised by that.

except you need to be 94 herblore to use prayer renewals in beta and 96 for overloads, which when you spend 70mill getting to 92 to overloads is really really annoying

[Cheefoo]

Prayer renewals don't have a level requirement. They are tradeable after all.

 

The new boots, shields etc. are pretty much confirmed to come from their respective bosses.

 

Jagex isn't going to add manual saves to Runescape. I have no idea where you'd get that idea.

 

Divine spirit shields still reduce damage, they're just currently bugged in the beta.

 

Prayer bonus is going to be added later, they just have yet to finish coding it for the beta.

when beta was first released before the first patch you did need 94. its fixed now
