Cannons

[moopymitchell182]

I've been at the blue dragon a lot in the last few days, its easy income and I get smithing exp from the cannonballs. People almost always type in lol or noob, all because of my cannon. Am I missing something here? Is having a cannon now the new "noob" trend? I like my cannon because I kill a dragon in about 20 seconds.

 

 

 

Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I picked up my cannon to crop and save the picture, enjoy the cannon i made. :P

cannons can be a tad bit annoying if you are trying to fight as well, but they are all around good exp for the cannoner so it is hard to tell someone to put it away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i dont understand the whole noob thing as it is, so why someone would call you a noob for using one baffles me.

1. I don't nkow. Why, moop?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. You're apparently a noob because the cannon kills faster and the other people are anoyyed since they get no kills. Most of the time though they're just noobs who like anoyying us.

[frogmite]

There jealous, or fed up because it means less xp for them. That is all.

[tilly]

same i got whe i'm training slayer with it,just angry because it steals their kills

[crossfire39]

If you are willign to spend money to kill YOUR blue dragon then they are the noobs for saying that. It's what I hate about people in this game, they decide that whatever other people do that they don't do it noobish. Like having a noob who has a high def lvl, pking with em, and then they call you a defence noob because they can't hit on you. I see no reason why it should affect them in any way except that you will push their crap range level even lower down in the ranks. A cannon is made for training, and you use it for that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soon to be: OMG, you noob, training with a whip. NOOOB!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lol

[bflat0]

I like my cannon but i rarely get to use it because I am polite. I understand others wish to train too... I think I killed the blue in the heros guild twice, always go somewhere else for blues. I like to take my cannon to multi-combat zones like daganoths and kalphite - fast range xp. Problem is wherever you go there is bound to be someone show up and be disapponted because that's a killing machine.

if they were attacking it i understand they may be annoyed and such but to laugh its most likely to hide the simple fact that they envy you for haveing one when they don't even have 10% of the cash to buy one

Cannon's usefulness=1/10

 

 

 

Its strength to piss people off=10/10

[vicfung3]

lol :lol: :lol:

[rambaldi]

can the cannon steal monsters like rangers can (or have they stopped that aswell where rangers could steal a hally'ers monster)

[scougre]

yup, last time when i was training slayer at dagganoths with a cannon a dude called me a noob with a froob cannon , because i was to lazy to train thats why i got a cannon :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when i said froob cannon? free player noob cannon? he logged.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i think most ppl can take anything anymore from eachother wich brings me to the question why play a online game with other people then.

Just because im playing a game online that other people are on doesnt mean I want to associate with any of them.

well, seeing as not one of your skills is ranked on the highscores, you wouldnt have the chance to use a cannon at all. maybe 85+ slayers spent tens of millions on cannon balls, just because it made getting their tasks done so much easier to do. i, use my cannon for quick kills, increasing my hourly profit. once you get enough money for a cannon, i would reccomend getting one. :)

IMHO there is a polite way to use a cannon and a rude way to use a cannon. Using it in a single combat area like at blue dragons, who cares.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Using in multi-combat areas like dagganoths, I'd propose a few reasonable guidelines for polite use of a cannon:

 

 

 

1) Don't set it up in the dead center of the dagganoth area. Your cannon will utterly dominate the entire dagganoth traning area leaving no place at all for anyone else to train. If you set it up in one corner, your cannon will stay quite busy while still leaving a place for others to train.

 

 

 

2) If you show up at dagganoths and someone else already has a cannon set up, wait for them to take thiers down before putting yours up. I was at dagganoths before and there were 6 (six!) cannons set up. It took me 3 hours to complete a stupid 100ish dagganoth slayer for all of the cannons stealing my kills.

 

 

 

3) In a smaller training area like at the kalphite guard chamber, if you walk in and there is already someone training there, its a bit rude to just walk in and say, "I'm training here now, you have to leave." which is what you're doing by setting up a cannon. If you get there first, set up your cannon and someone else comes along and complains, their problem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a nutshell, if you're going to drop an "area dominating" item like a cannon, the same basic concepts of politeness apply as they do with any other training spot. If an area is already busy, the polite thing to do is to world hop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notice I didn't say any of the above should be considered rules, anything the game lets you do is legal, but are instead guidelines for how to get your cannoning XP in a polite way. Unfortunately there are too many people in the game that could care less what is polite or rude.

[dark_hodie]

cannon in the kalphite soldier lair, dont you think if some1 is their already you should hop worlds your self?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now yes i have got mad and hopped worlds like 5 times and set it up regaurdless

[grimsaado]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. If you walk into the kalphite soldier area and there is already someone training in there, the polite thing to do is world hop until you find a world where the area has no one in it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, once you've found such a world and have your cannon set up, anybody that comes along afterwards to complain and go train somewhere else. A lot of politeness when it comes to training is respecting the "who was at the training spot first" concept.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That said, I really think the user population is at the point where more worlds are needed. Most of the time I get on in the evening now the members dallas worlds are either full or near full (1900+ players). When there are 2000 people in any given world pretty much every training spot is saturated. I'd also like to see them add a couple more "chambers" in the kalphite mound and in the dagganoth area. These two areas can be very frustrating when the servers are full to even find a creature to kill that someone isnt already killing. :(

there just jelous that ur gonna make more money than them and b more succesful

there just jelous that ur gonna make more money than them and b more succesful

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That is the exact attitude that leads to so many rude people playing the game... "I dont care who I annoy/steal from/con etc as long as I earn more gp" Just like the thread on here not too long ago, "Would you share a dchain drop with your friends that helped you kill the kq"... 1/2 the people said they'd take the chain and lie to thier friends about the drop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doesn't anyone have a sense of politeness or honor? Does anyone in RS value friends and respect more than GP?

not really... people go crazy for yellow, coin-shaped pixels :P

[RaDiVaXx]

I. Hate. Cannon. USERs!

 

 

 

Stop using them at rock crabs or something.

 

 

 

We maybe training for exp not for fun.

[1_dark_jedi]

if your using a cannon at the heros dragon, ppl are probably throwing out "noob" just because they are annoyed that they can't get a kill in. to avoid future derogitory and degrating comments try taking your cannon to taverly dungeon's blu dragons :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:twisted:

[Ycon]

the polite thing to do is world hop until you find a world where the area has no one in it.

 

 

 

I wanna see ya do that with the st00pid 30 seconds wait time UNTIL you have found an empty world...

 

 

 

I have been world hopping before and I didnt have any problem with it, but now I wouldnt change worlds even if Id get a billion dollars. In fact, a really big part of usage of offensive language is due to wars about who has to change world (can be experienced at Fire Giants all day long).

cannon is only useful in multi area slayer assignments. but it is well worth the investment
