Arceus 1271 Posted June 3, 2015 A new TH promotion for this weekend...Astromancer's outfit, lets you unlock outfit pieces and banners with regard to factions by allocating tokens. Oh and you can call down a meteor from the sky a certain number of times. It seems like they did it about right this time. Relevant content and nothing too overpowered.

Arceus 1271 Posted June 3, 2015 They split the group chat into group group chat and group team chat? Speaking of which, a friend and I tried to use that system to do the World Event yesterday. After around 10 minutes we abandoned it, hopped over, and did the event normally in a random group. This might sound like a crazy idea but making the group system work would be a better tweak. The only other thing I see in there is Goblin Raids appearing as a news event and more XP milestones for friends, maybe grouping them as their own toggle down under the broadcast rather than a game message? That would be a nice improvement. "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for."

Miss Lioness 631 Posted June 3, 2015 I think it is more like the total EXP announcement. The Chat denotes 3.5 million exp., but I do not think it was before.

Wkw 452 Posted June 3, 2015 Was part of the same thing. Font size wasn't an issue when I had a 17in monitor running at 1280*1024, but when I'm playing on a 23in screen, its bloody hard to read.

SwreeTak 147 Posted June 6, 2015 I look forward to the billion total xp announcements update a lot. I am not that terrible far away from the 1B mark and it would be cool to broadcast it to my friends and the world I am on :).And to hit 5,2B should definitely be broadcasted globally. It is a HUGE achievement. Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wkw 452 Posted June 9, 2015 T90 tank armor confirmed from raids. Raids confirmed DOA. They need to remove typeless damage from the game in order to make tank armor worthwhile 1 Runescape player since January 2005Ego Sum Deus Quo Malum Caligo et Barathum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alg 2522 Posted June 9, 2015 Or let tank armour have some kind of soak effect for damage reduction.Which is kind of what everyone wanted tank armor to have since before there even was tank armor I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wkw 452 Posted June 9, 2015 Power armor has 5% less soak than tank. Thank needs a lot more, and power armor needs none Runescape player since January 2005Ego Sum Deus Quo Malum Caligo et Barathum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Lioness 631 Posted June 9, 2015 soak effect God no. Soak didn't work before. Why would it work this time? The values were all [bleep]ed up, there was no effective implementation across tiers, and it was just flat out unnecessary to the function of tanks. Actually I disagree. Soak worked brilliantly in pre-eoc with Ganodermics. It suddenly became the way to go to use as magic armour. It was for example, ideal for fight caves versus Jad for those who couldn't really do it due to lag or ping issues. Furthermore it still had a hefty Magic attack bonusses to be comparable although it was still outclassed by Virtus of course. Next to that, due to the ease of accessing it, it wasn't that expensive. A couple of million at that time. If the new armour would have a hefty soaking ability/set effect, it could be actually usable for a lot of bossing and thus a valued asset to the game.

Kimberly 1129 Posted June 9, 2015 Making things easier is not necessarily good for the game. In the current case of armor, it's really not necessary. Tweak in between tiers to balance powerlevel, but making everything easier across the board does not help in the long run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Urza285 514 Posted June 10, 2015 I am hypothesizing that jagex is using raids as a means to push their pvm to new levels. I called and expected jagex to bring the likes of nex and vorago with multiple phases. Now i think jagex is bringing us a piece of content involving fights with multiple stages with different phases each.
