5-Feb-2013 - Sinkholes + EoC Improvements


Saradomin_Mage

Recommended Posts

There's something strange about coins, which are presumably gold, being rusty. Must be the Daemonheim taint or something.

 

If Sinkholes would provide something like a second ammo bind, they would be dead content soon enough, just like other things that are quick to get, require people and you only need it once (FoG/hybrid gloves for example). To be sustainable long-term, you need a more continuous reward. Gold would be a good one, it can be as simple as giving hoardstalker pieces alch values over 200k :P.

So I haven't read through the entirety of this post yet, so I apologize if this has already been discussed, but:

 

What effects does the D&D have on skillers?

Can skillers use it to gain additional Dungeoneering EXP?

 

Skillers can partake in Sinkholes just fine. Combat is not mandatory. The combat objective seems to be the best way to rack up points though, so you might end up on the lower half of the scoreboard often. The new outfit does not have skill requirements.

And as far as I'm still aware of, Castle Wars sucks now because most of it is inhabited by people AFK'ing to get the comp cape.

Sadly, this is true.

The top floors of both castles are full of level 200s who afk.

There are probably more people up there than actually playing the game.

Runescape does feel like it has declined alot since the hayday.

And i was getting hammered on tif for being a big opponent of this req in the first place, being over 10 times as time consuming as any other minigame req... Oh well, sucks to be right.

As for what may actually make this distraction and diversion more popular, I would simply say: More xp. For me it won't be dead content for quite some time. I love the rushing and competing nature of this d and d. It is much like fish flingers in that way (another of my favourite distractions).

Yea but then the jagex nerf hammer struck.

 

Tbf the Jagex nerf hammer struck Flash Powder Factory before it even launched when someone, somehow, thought it was a good idea to have a reward curve for playing that rather than being perfectly flat and consistent or gradually rising over time started off nice and high and then sky-dived to the bottom of the atlantic trench. Afterall whats more logical than rewards getting progressively worse for investing more time.

I think Jagex should take more time to think about what the updates do to the game and research if it would be lasting content. Else they either mess the game up a little more or create dead upon dead content. One thing as a company it lacks is good vision and strong content concepts.

Probably the same guy who thought it'd be a good idea to make Dominion Tower gloves into T80 weapons.

Not sure why/how people are complaining about this being dead content. I've had no trouble starting games in w119.

+ I've seen Ibis cards a few times, own the Hoardstalker Legs myself.

Looks like all the hot air about them changing their ways was exactly that, hot air.... Had kinda hoped they *might* be changing towards releasing less of this crap, ah well.....

Tbf it was kinda obvious it wouldn't count as when released Jagex specifically said you have to complete it in four months to get chisels opposed to just saying 'complete 4 times'
