Yoko Kurama Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 To me it's not the skill requirements as much as the quest requirements. It seems to be a blatant attempt by Jagex to needlessly ease things which don't need easing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Except that they're planning to build all future content on the assumption that it happened. I can see where there's a problem with that (Future low level quest referencing events that haven't happened yet, or locking all players out of every new quest before 140 combat), hopefully they can work themselves out of the corner they wrote themselves into. 1 I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saradomin_Mage Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 The fact that it's needed to kick off the year's god content means that it has to be accessible to as many people as possible, or it's going to be a pretty bland year for many who can't beat the other important lore quests. 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...
Birdd Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 It's like saying J.K. Rowling wanted Voldemort's return to be accessible to all her readers, so she never bothered writing books 1-4 (or whatever) and just skipped to the Goblet of Fire. It's nonsense. Wow, spoiler alert much? Voldemort returns?! Jk :DOn topic: Seriously did anyone side with Saradomin would love to hear that side of the story.And I agree with above - if they want to develop content based on the sixth age that most can access then this quest itself has to be accessable by most. They are committing this "offense" of making the story weird in order to not have to do that again when they make content that relies on this storyline.

sarg1010 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm assuming they mean any new "major plotline" quests. As in new quests will each differ for people, depending on which god you chose to side with. Everyone will have the quest available, they'll just be different stories/factions.

Randox Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Well, that was a fun quest even if I died a few times. Twice before I learned how to watch my health again (I've not engaged in combat in more than a month, and it's been a few since I fought anything that stood a chance of killing me). Turns out I love the defensive powers, though they take up a lot of room from abilities that do real damage (though in fairness, defense has a few damage dealers in the threshold range which are in their prime against crowds). [hide]Also went back to my roots, and choose Guthix, though I think me and Azzandra both had some pain with that choice. I really like Azzandra, don't care so much for Sliske. I also disagree with the idea Guthix was handing power off to Zaros. Now that we understand Guthix's motivations, and with Jagex hinting that Zaros embodies control, that would make Zaros the direct opposition to Guthix. The only way I can see that working is that Zaros was at least at one time also a disproportionately powerful God, and he alone of the current known Gods would seem to have the potential power to actually end the God wars. Sliske might also end up being oddly strong, seeing as he took down a God who was seemingly significantly stronger than everyone else put together. I really don't like Saradomin. I think he means well, but I think he has also lost his way, or simply doesn't have the regard for mortal life that he should.[/hide] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffery Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 ^ You should probably hide that post to not spoil it... I only came on here to see how good the gloves were, the quest is hyped up too much, WGS is always going to be the best GM quest it seems, although I liked ROTM that didn't live up to the hype either. Don't get me wrong I don't think it's a bad quest I just think like Jagex does a lot hyped it up too much. 2 180th to 99 Divination + 1st W36er Rambo, cannot pk call your friends bro :).

It won't be every quest that has an indirect 140 combat requirement, just the God Wars II quests. Noobs will still get their fill of fighting goblins and stealing sweetrolls and other such mundane quests.Actually, according to the disclaimer in the front page post, all content from next week on out is gonna assume that you've done the quest even if you haven't (for storyline reasons). So potentially a sequel might not even need The World Wakes as a requirement either. :-k EDIT: Of course, now that I think about it, anything that refers to what happened to the player itself would almost definitely need the quest as a requirement. (Since the overall world changes are the reason why future content will take it into account, not the player's status) So I guess that does mean it will be a requirement for any future quests in this line. Neat. The Fallen Diviner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimberly Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Don't get me wrong I don't think it's a bad quest I just think like Jagex does a lot hyped it up too much. Considering how the quest played out...I think the hype was deserved regardless if you think it was too short or too easy. The key points of the quest are just too momentous to ignore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how the quest played out...I think the hype was deserved regardless if you think it was too short or too easy. The key points of the quest are just too momentous to ignore. While Guthix Sleeps is still the most epic quest to date. Sure, a lot of it was filler, but I really LOVED all the dramatic buildup from hours of world-spanning questing. TWW and RotM were both quite self contained. While their impact on the story was huge, the quests themselves felt way too short. 1 [spoiler=I LOVE MY STATION] 01001001001001110110110100100000010101000111011101100101011011000111011001100101001000000110000101101110011001000010000001110111011010000110000101110100001000000110100101110011001000000111010001101000011010010111001100111111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoko Kurama Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 The new monsters, despite their slayer level, are hard to beat because their weaknesses actually matter -- unless you have drygores as usual. Isn't that just wonderful? My friend was breezing through them all day w/ his dual maces, killing them too fast to be attacked by their special attack. Lame.

Also, as usual, jagex- the king of balanced content just had to make the 3rd hardest boss(es) completely useless by the introduction of the ring. Next week we'll have level 99 throwaxes, just to keep the balance. First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.First to 3766 Port Score on 20. March, 2014.First to 4664 Port Score on 2. March, 2015.

He is really cool about your decision and understands your reasons. He's also very sorry about how things turned out seeing as he did not want to kill Guthix, merely reason with him.He does however say dat despite not following orders, Sliske did him a favor by removing the edicts and thus allowing Zaros' return.
