21-Jan-2012 - Desert Tasks

Featured Replies

The combat change he's referring to is the one that occurred on 14th January, and the diaries (and rewards) were in development well before that was suddenly implemented.

 

I don't know if that makes it better or worse. :$

    People can say all they want about Jagex, but they do try to make things fair. For instance, players who hadn't logged in for a month had trouble logging in. Did Jagex sit around? No. They took action

    If you read my previous post, you'd know I was acutely aware of this. It was predictable because this sort of sillyness is Jagex's pattern, but that doesn't make it any more acceptable. They always ha

    At least the Karamja tasks have already been released. If they waited till now to release that set, they'd probably require you to spend 1000 agility tickets for elite :P

Definitely not as bad as you were making it out to be.

In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

If that's true, then what we're really saying is that in the 3+ months it would have taken to develop Desert Tasks from inception to proper release:

  1. No-one in the Desert Tasks team asked the team working on combat changes if these changes would affect their own project;
  2. No-one in the team working on combat changes was aware that the Desert Tasks team may have wanted to know how the combat changes would impact on the new weapons they were planning on releasing as a task reward.

I really don't know how that happens, given they would been in the same building, eating in the same canteen, working literally metres apart from each other.

well, only thing i really cant do is thiev....... #1 worst skill

 

rocking 1500 boss kills and everything except sunfreet... how hard is he?

Why am I getting cash for only about a quarter of the tasks?

It was easy before the defense changes, unless you don't dodge the AoE fire. Now, I'm not sure.

 

This ^ Was doable with void and minimal/0 food.

Presuming Jagex overlooked dom tower bosses tbh

And Indegestion is pretty though to say the least. I have found it impossible without eating 2 invy's of food to kill 2 bosses, then do die because I cannot heal =S. Having a shield helps, but then you lose a huge chunk of attack power and get's you nowhere really.

Decent tasks. Probably would've gone further into troll mode with stuff like chimp ice, but that's too bad. Cya in 18 months Daemonheim tasks

Beat Sunfreet. Wasn't very difficult when I used Ranged and didn't clumsily walk into fire fields.

Dual-wielded Chaotic Crossbows. Sunfreet has a 500 damage cap but Ranged thresholds hit that rather frequently.

Where is amascut temple? The only reference i can find to amascut is in the diamond in the rough quest.... Can anyone help me?

I like to think of the Dark Bow like a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) - you get one shot and then you're screwed.

Its the pyramid from missing my mummy. The statue is at the end near the queen

Fairy ring DLQ then run east. If you have completed the quest you should get the option to go straight to queen when you click the doorway.

someone was saying nex was made harde... can anyone confirm/disprove this?

Well, at least we know it's possible; Baraqiel got it done today.

For Indigestion, keep Mage pray up and dont move from starting place. Stick towards the entrance and Flambeed will wander aimlessly around. After that simply take them down one by one (Maul works fine tbh), in w/e order you fancy. Eating where needed.

 

*was done in Ganodermic w/o body + rocktails

someone was saying nex was made harde... can anyone confirm/disprove this?

 

Quite a few people on the RSOF seem to think so as well, I personally think something is up, prior to today I was doing 3/4 Minute QBD kills now struggling to do less then 5min kills while the use of food has almost doubled. I kind of wish they'd quit messing about with the game every couple days and leave it alone...

"And with the first round rapture draft pick, God selects...... Macho Man Randy Savage ohhhh yeaaah brother!"

But that would require them getting it right the first time.

Complete everything in the Dominion Tower was kind of a troll. But I'm happy because I already had it completed and there won't be many other comp capes around for a short while :)

Hopefully they graphically upgrade Mory 4 to match the set "properly"

Lol, I have now done Indigestion =3.

I have the feeling this one is hotfixed or so =/

Nex I hear was harder but QBD? IMO it's much easier, getting 3-4 min kills using about 2-3 food max.

I hit over 500 many times with thresholds. However, I never hit over 2k.. Not really sure if he still has a threshold really...

 

He is easy if you attack from a distance and know how to dodge fires. If you attack with melee, be prepared to learn how to use resonance to heal off his tail swipe special or take 3k+ each time.
