Saradomin_Mage Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I believe they've changed all drops completely - yew logs now appear in piles of 50 instead of 100 and runes come in batches of 50 instead of 45 or whatever previously. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a shame, the yew logs were the best reason to kill it. It was alot faster than cutting them Click here for my guide on how to solo the D Kings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayc3399 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I used the insta kill darts on my lowbie account today. 100 silver ore 50 laws 250 mithril arrows and I can't remember the fourth drop. overall underwhelming.

decebal Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 As I said before, loot pinata. Got to be honest, I didn't like the price of the assassin outfit, nor do I like the price of this new suit. I'd much rather pay those 40 bucks on two decent full-sized games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I wish they'd do what guild wars does and sell runecoins for ingame coins. 10k Cash per runecoin sounds about what I'd like it to be. 5 ........::::: Rainy's YouTube Channel - Rainy's Twitter - Rainy's Facebook - Rainy's DeviantArt - Rainy's Tumblr - Rainy's Tip.It Profile :::::.........

The problem with buying them for ingame cash is it would fund gold farmers more. It would be more cost effective to buy gold and the runecoins then to out right buy runecoins 1 Quest Cape Achieved on November 14, 2007Items AcquiredCrystal Pick and HatchetBerzerker Ring x 33/28 Barrows Items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 So they increased drops but didn't change the difficulty of the kbd? Was really hoping this update would make him a challenge. Disappointed. If you watched the BTS you wouldn't have been disappointed on release day. They very clearly want the kbd to remain a mid-level boss and freshening its drop table to increase the desire to hunt it, however by the time high levels are done hoarding the kills there it will be back to mid-level dead content because the drops will be worthless.

Platinum_Myr Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 It might be more profitable than before though, as they have a good sequence of drops that will be desired which it didn't have at all before. I imagine it will be crowded for a few weeks though. Maxed since Sunday, January 9th, 2014Completionist since Wednesday, June 4th, 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazumaishimaru Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 So, did anyone notice something important in the new notes that drop? (or, at least it was important in my eyes)Pretty important lore addition and inclusion of something I thought we wouldn't see again. The Ripper Demon(s). The notes distinctly say that they are the "Empty Lord's". The prospect that we could see some real versions of them excites me. I am nice. . .

ilovecuttingyews Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Saw the dwarven warsuit ingame today. Looks alright, but not good enough to be worth the $40-50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterDexter Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 40-50 dollars isn't quite a microtransaction, more a macrotransaction. :sI wonder how many parents actually let their childs buy such things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnuGGzZ Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 so is it worth it to go through the wild for the 10% damage boost and use supers, or just tele there with ovl You can tele there then pop in and out of the cave quickly and still get the 10% but can you do that with ovls in your inven?Overloads don't prevent you from entering the Wildy, they will just only boost your skills to that of a super potion if you drink them in the Wilderness. 5b xp let's go!

The sparkle pony also has a purpose and not just used for a cosmetic item, even though it looks badass.The sparkle pony scales with your character, meaning as you unlock better flight ranks, your pony evolves into the next tier as well in terms of mount flight speed [spoiler=Sparkle Pony!] But back to RS... WoW also has a more advanced game engine. Wow uses way fewer resources than Runescape, mainly because of the lack of Java overhead. Runescape does have the graphical capability for items like the sparkle pony. They just want to "allow all computers to play" which is fine if the only thing you have is a toaster to play RS on. Maybe the HTML5 client will improve, who knows? [software Engineer] - [Ability Bar Suggestion] - [Gaming Enthusiast] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the HTML5 client will improve, who knows?The price of the dwarven suit is still not warranted, in my opinion. The point I was trying to make was that Jagex is overpricing something ( an outfit + extras) that is already considered overpriced in other games (such as WoW). Even the Sims 3 sells DLC for "only" $20 dollars, which consists of furniture, clothing, hairstyles etc. all in one pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 It's not overpriced if people pay for it. Perhaps they could make more money if they lowered the price, but, again, that doesn't mean it's overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because people buy it does not mean it's pricetag matches its value, which is what overpriced means. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they could make more money if they lowered the price, but, again, that doesn't mean it's overpriced. Typically when you say something is overpriced, that means that the price of the object well surpasses the equilibrium price, where supply and demand meets. For example, if vending machines started selling bottles of soda for $5 each, it'd be well above what is considered equilibrium price. Of course a few people would still buy it, because it varies on individual choice, condition, etc. But it doesn't make the price reasonable. ~It's Super Effective!
