I think having practice mode and instancing having a synonymous feel is a good thing. I mean I think the only difference between the two being that practice mode has no death penalty and no actual reward that real experience in fighting the boss. You'll obviously take change losses on things like the chaotic staff and supply loss which both are reasonable.

Rejoin instances????? ACTUALLY HAVING A FULL HOUR AT ARAXXOR?????

 

WHAT DID HE DO WITH THE REAL CHRIS L?

 

Oh, and there was some other Mod who was saying, just until a few days ago, that full instances was a technical impossibility. So much for that...

Kinda late to be discussing an update that happened in November, but the FAQ for Heart of Stone was posted this week.

 

Why did you waste Xenia by killing her off in her third quest?

 

Mod Raven: Personally? Because I really wanted to kill her, though my original death was far more brutal. But also we wanted to make the signature heroes more believable as characters. We felt that if they were immortal things, that just team up with the player from time to time, then they lose something. As characters that can betray you and die, they have more potential. By killing Xenia we improve what we can do with the other heroes, their lives mean more now that we know that they can die. But really I just wanted to kill Xenia, I’ve been trying for age, just as Mod Osborne.

Anyone genuinely dissatisfied by this answer? It just seems like Mod Raven, being infinitely neurotic and suffering from megalomania, just wanted to kill off Xenia for the hell of it, and explained it away with "character development". He could have done a lot of other things to build up the whole signature heroes' design (look at Sir Owen), but just took the easy way out which happened to be something he really wanted.

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

They shouldn't be "immortal", but they should... you know, exist a bit, so that you can get to know them and actually feel something when they die. And when they do die, it should further the plot. Hell, make them seem like they are immortal, that'll make the death more shocking (see: WGS). As long as it's not this meaningless, contrived "because I saw the character and wanted to kill her" garbage. Not only is it just bad writing, it's kind of creepy.

Nothing official from Jagex yet other than it being Hati and Sköll on Monday and presumably RuneLabs too. I'm guessing with Ports being the feature update of January it will be the 26th.

Ports is almost definitely the 26th.

 

BTS video said that next week it is about ports.

Next friday BTS about ports rules out it coming this week and makes it almost 100% certain it'll be the monday after video (26th).

A fact further solidified by it being a January update and 26th being last week available for January update.

 

Runelabs is already definite for Tuesday - video say it opens for submissions on the 20th

When did Xenia die?

Was it brutal?

Is it worth getting membership just to see her die?

Did any other signature heroes die?

 

This is great news

Max port score is the only thing really.

 

Youll need to get 6+ more scrolls, max out your buildings for terracotta and azure resources and complete 3 more storylines with two finales. The two finales are an assumption based on the last two port updates.

 

Golems may have been cut for budget.

You have to complete all scrolls, story lines and port score for comp. And you are right in there being one trio, but there will be three seperate lines. Last update was the hunter, architect and cook. This time its the gorajo, divine energy girl and the mask possessed man.
