Anyone have success using the organ?

It was far faster to just speed through the entire TT before they corrected the monsters too weak issue. My escorting NPCs didnt receive and didnt deal any damage above 30, while I usually OHKO them. So I threw npc attacking to the wind and did 5 min treks.

Just wait until you get to the hard NPCs, you'll not have NPCs attacking or 5 minute treks! :wall:

 

Things you can expect:

• Irritability
  
• Suicidal thoughts
  
• Timidness near walking sticks, swamps, and objects associated with construction.
  
• Broken computer peripheral devices
  
• Cold sweats
  
• Strange carvings in objects nearby your pc such as a desk
  
• Extreme openness to suggestion
  
• Lapses in memory
  

Before the patch I finished my tt off. Did the two hard ones from about level 50 to 99 in about 2 hours.

I hate you.

So, let me get this straight...

 

They've returned monsters in Dungeoneering to their pre-EoC power levels while removing the only buff in the game that made monsters' pre-EoC power levels balanced. They made the prayer changes because they were sick of designing and balancing monsters on the assumption that a certain buff was always active. And they're now designing and balancing monsters on the assumption that a buff that no longer exists at all is permanently active.

 

I really liked the new quests, the new Wizards' Tower is amazing and making a title that's actually prestigious to have is a nice start, so it's a shame Jagex had to royally screw the pooch on every other aspect of this update. The only saving grace is that with PoP bringing 90+ equipment, there's a good chance that Dungeoneering will be dead content anyway.

So where are the glowing disc weapons??

All of the NPCs in Temple Trekking are now as powerful as they should be post-Evolution of Combat.

 

 

Good. It was such a pain trying to tank with them never hitting above a 30.

I think they were talking more about the monsters, and not the characters :P

 

N.....no they weren't...... :(

 

The NPCs that you escort have had their stuff upgraded too, thank goodness. I just did a trek and the person I was escorting gained 5 Combat levels in about 5 minutes, when before I was lucky for them to get one combat level every 10 or so Treks. :D

always a fan of quest.

 

but I got serious lag on ground and 1st floor, I have to turn to minimum mode.

I can't even get it to load the tower basement. I'm on my fourth try (and this will be the second in safe mode) and it still won't load past 50%. :wall:

 

I better not have to start this whole thing over again.

For anyone having the 50% loading crash, have you guys tried clearing your Jagex cache?

Yes, twice. And if I have to watch that damn Windows 8 ad again I'm going to shoot myself (I really hate that song).

 

Edit: I got in, finally. Now to finish this before it tries to load anything else. :lol:

 

Edit 2: scratch that...I didn't even make it out of the room with the rune guardian. :wall:

Yep, me too, hard treks were no harder than easy treks. The only thing that was capable of hurting me was Tentacles, and they dont attack NPCs. Everything else couldn't even touch my NPCs unless I afk'ed for about 5 mins

FAQ is out.

 

No word about Void.

 

I am so mad right now.

The quests & rewards are nice, the Archmage title particularly. I wish there had been an easter egg involving the runes, but that's ok.

 

@Kaida: Safe mode is much less efficient than other modes, you'll probably get less lag with minimum settings in another graphics mode.

 

@Void set nerf: Void needs a (free) higher-statted version, as in, talk to quest person to recieve a level 60 or level 80 version statted at level 40 and 60 respectively.

Why does it NEED it? Why can't it just be lower-tiered armor? (Maybe someone could explain this better for me because I don't understand the current problem. XD)

I think the main argument is it's no longer worth the time invested to obtain.

Right. As it is the elite set is proselyte with about 1/4 of the prayer bonus, which in my opinion far outweighs the damage boost and the fact that it's hybrid class. For all the time and effort it takes to get the set and finish the relevant quests (One of which is grandmaster, even if it's the easiest of the tier), it's not worthwhile anymore.

The major tipping factor is really the Elite Void set. You can make a case for default Void needing to be nerfed, as it did provide really good boosts for level 42 armour, or even 60 armour for that matter due to great Defence value, lp boost and Damage increase. Even then, you could make a case it simply takes too long to obtain for it to be worth it.

 

However, the Elite Void requires at least 78 att AND str, the completion of a Grandmaster Quest with one of the Hardest questing bosses, if not the hardest, and the same time invested in gathering the normal Void set to upgrade. Yet, despite all this, it has Armour/LP Values equal to Mithril, which to any person with enough levels to complete The Void Stares Back is simply way too fragile and not viable whatsoever in any kind of situation, specially with the reduced exp rates on weaker enemies (some of the places where Void was most usefull before EoC) and the (deserved) protection prayer nerf.

 

So why would anyone even bother with Void now. People were discussing a while back how DKs would be dead content, which they never will until they introduce better rings, but thsould they not nerf Void, Pest Control will be the latest piece of Dead content in the game.

@Kaida: Safe mode is much less efficient than other modes, you'll probably get less lag with minimum settings in another graphics setting.

Thanks for the tip but, unfortunately, RS will only run for me in OpenGL mode. Both software and DirectX modes simply cause it to crash. :(

When you have to write an answer down and the space they provide is not nearly enough to write everything and you're forced to write super small and cramped -.-

Methinks you meant to post that in the "things that annoy you" thread, highlanders. ;)

Whoever's got the name Gandalf better change their title to "the Grey".

Yup, also included in that is anyone with an aes sedai name(well within the 4 colors).

at least a day after release so no more need for spoiler for talking about rewards?does the new staff completely obsolete the basic rune staffs? I remember reading that the rune staffs received a 2x damage to normal attacks does this one get that bonus as well?

Even better:

 

 

I realize some people on this forum might think Lord of the Rings is better than Grey's Anatomy, but they're wrong.
