The ponies seem a bit silly to me. We all know that concept art never looks like the final product so we won't get those big shiny eyes and neon glow it'll just be some particle effects on the horn. I'm a bit worried that some of the Jmods appear to be influencing a bit too much based on what THEY like, not what's best for the community. Potential for bad things if that keeps up. It also looks too much like an April fools... this has BETTER be a guaranteed content poll that needs 75% of the vote to pass!

 

As for the macroing rules, the wording Jagex have used implies that people can't even use the built in accessability tools anymore as they move more than one pixel at a time. My asumption is that they have just whitelisted the behaviour of the official windows tool. There is a LOT of abuse using AHK and while many people use it legitimately, there are probably equally, if not more, people using it to skirt the rules and depressingly it's the high level and elite players doing it. Why?

Because xp waste is baaad.

 

Anyways I am guessing they'll get the unipegusus done jusy how they did the baby troll and work it perfectly.

Honestly hate the Guaranteed Content Polls as they are being used in Old School and now invading the regular game. Its ok if Jagex wants to put out a poll where people can vote on what minor updates they want like in the past. The quest one was even fine because its not like we'll never get the gnome and pirate finales just because we voted for dwarves. However, when the content polls are requiring a 75% chance for content to even make it into the game then its going too far. Allowing 26% of the base to deny the rest of the players content sounds terrible for almost any online community, and especially for runescape's community where individuals are so divided on what they want and expect from the updates. I could see it getting to the point where a segment votes no on anything they won't personally use. "Another boss....no we've had too many" or "A skill update...no, I only do combat". Let alone on an update like an sgs pet that really won't hurt anyone by existing.

Or a recent example: Choosing a ripoff of GoT over more original outfits like K_aylee's outfit.

You're trying to make it sound like this is an objectively bad choice just because you don't like it yourself. >_>

It's wintery, sure, but not Christmasy/festive :(

Not the first time Jagex has used other things to base RS content off of, RS pretty much has the Dark Soul's armour of black/white knight.

I think it's hilarious that after everything we've been through, people draw the line at magical horselike pets

 

frankly, since the veteran cape, i have not put much stock in the players' collective fashion sense

I don't mind bad-looking stuff, I mind that there is no alternative :(. I want a good-looking, not-so-gaudy set of mage/melee hybrid armour. The not-so-gaudy part is a huge problem in RS, and in fantasy games in general. Also it would be nice if female armour didn't look so crazy Barbie-like, I want to protect myself, not look like a prostitute with a metal fetish  :evil:.

Maybe it's to celebrate MLP Season 4 starting this saturday? :P

Or maybe it's to celebrate that the toys came out 30 years ago.

This was the last time I watched MLP

It's a shame really that anything Unicorn/Horse/Pegasus related is instantly "MLP COPYHURBLEGURBLE!" these days.

 

Jagex put in the blatant references to My Little Pony characters in Player Owned Ports, so it's easy to see the connection with other content.

We get pet unicorns and ponies before Prifddinas, Menaphos, Freneskae, Acheron, Kudos Island, the Eastern Lands (beyond what we see in player-owned ports), various skill reworks, a dozen or so quests, high-level boss content, and countless other highly-anticipated updates

Let's keep this in perspective of how these models could have been used. They could have easily been used in part as creatures from the avianse homeworld that's full of floating islands. Does anyone remember its name? I know it starts with a B.

No, but the "bbi" part is pronounced like the letter "B" so it makes sense that it might stand out in your mind.

anyway, i'm glad that people think that the way jagex content works is one single file line in a hallway that only accommodates a one person width, meaning that every morning they just cram in there in the order they got to work, and slowly push through to the end, where everybody comes out as neatly packaged tins of content

 

the thoughts that people share daily on this thread only serve to increase my opinion of them, to the point where i'm so proud that i don't even say anything when i read them

Does anyone have a transcript of the above the lore podcast for the return of zamorak?

It was rather dull as podcasts go, to sum up what they said is basically these few points:

 

1) Zamorak is not evil reiterated...a lot.

2) Zamorak won't be in a head to head fight any time soon but he'll find otherways to compete and advanced his power once more

3) Zamorak's look is mahajaratt+ With the wings and bare chest adding vampyric influence and and horns demonic influence to show his biggest factions.

4) Zamorak's symbol is meant to be demon horns based on the concept way back when he had genuine demon horns and there was not the factor of demons being Zarosian first.

5) The Dark Lord in elf quests, despite player thoughts, "might" not be Zaros or Zamorak.

6) There's a quest in the planning that explains the forehead gem of Mahajaratts

 

So yeah quite boring really,1-4 we all pretty much knew already. 5 is semi-new but isn't exactly shocking given the current events in lore makes it near impossible for the Dark Lord to be either really. 6 we've heard mention of before as well, this seems a bit more finite it is being looked at rather than 'we have the reason in our lore bible.'

I'm leaning on the side of the "dark lord" being the opposite of Seren. Assuming Zaros and Seren aren't related as in they were made by the elder gods

 

Or even, it may be an elf who is evil and gained a lot of power, similar to the Mahajarat.

Thanks a lot for the recap! Sounds interesting nontheless ^-^

 

not anytime soon... All part of the masterplan... MUWHAHA 

 

 

Someday Saradomin! 

Daily Challenge: Cavefish

Task: Cook 26 bacon stacks.

 

A sign that cavefish will be made of bacon soon.

1) Zamorak is not evil reiterated...a lot.

It'd be really cool if they could actually show this, rather than tell it. Maybe it's just me, but when your character is more visibly demonic than this guy, controls monsters and factions that are unambiguously evil, and generally encourages evil acts as a way to strengthen the survivors (if he's not just doing it himself)... Yep, that sounds chaotic neutral to me, no question about it! :-P

 

Not saying they can't pull it off, but considering their attempt to make Saradomin sympathetic... They have a lot of work to do.

They also refer to Zamorak as the evil god in multiple quests.
