Tormented Demons need buffing a bit...

 

From what I can tell, it'll either be reducing the damage dealt above the cap. (So faster weapons are more balanced) or giving them a lot more HP to make kills longer.

They're easier for noobs to kill, but they aren't faster than before. Before update I achieved 120 kph, after 120 kph, so there's no difference in full manual.

You mean getting 118k slay per hr using chaotic maul vs 150k per hr using DW drygores EoC on dark beasts? I hope alot of them are taking "advantage" of that xD

I wonder how many of them are trying a new update after it just came out. It doesn't make sense to make a mark of players using legacy now unless they will compare it to future rates

legacy > revo atm

 

No, it's not even close, I've done quite a few tests, and outside of Mutated Jadinkos, legacy is slower in every way by a minimum of 7% or more compared to Revo + Thresholds / Berserk. Some differences were much larger too, just people are giving out false information without proper testing and everyone is falling for it.

 

 

I can kill four jadinkos at once with EoC ? 2H abilities...

Actually, this is really bothering me now. I can't find any monsters with combat 130+ outside of bosses (which I don't fancy camping for 50 kills).

Try some things in Dominion tower? Idk.

Ya I must admit, I didn't take advantage much of AoE attacks when I should on them, so EoC still prob faster there too.

People who tested legacy for even just one minute are included into this 30%, so I think there are really few people using it.

Legacy mode is not just good, it's great.

It has a mature interface, none of this nonsensical transparent facebook/twitter looking crap where it takes hours of customization to be legible.

It works with RS3's shoddy net code.

Yes, even though it randomly takes me 1 to 4 clicks to register an action, it isn't that big of deal, since autoattacking is back in.

Now instead of throwing in the towel with revolutions, Jagex can move both feet forward delete EOC and garbage code updates that turned the game into a dead click-a-thon.

Dharoking is back on the map.

I can 1 hit abyssal demons again.

They have a responsible and mature hp value 850. (although I would prefer 85, I can live with another 0, not 000000 cause it looks cool for the kids who can't even count that high anyway.

Also, I love that zeros have made a comeback.

Now we miss, the enermy misses, it's great.

Armour has value again. 

The game actually feels like runescape not WOW-lite.

Unfortunately, EOC is still around, but hey it's for those with ADD or have a twitch or something where they have to spam buttons all the time or they can't think straight.

He just successfully trolled you with "courtesy" and managed to get a reaction out of you. Lol

Only thing that bothers me in Legacy is that the max hit when boxing is 53. Box duels take forever.

People who tested legacy for even just one minute are included into this 30%, so I think there are really few people using it.

 

 

Which means that I would be counted, when my use of legacy was turning it on, balking at how the interface changed, then having to figure out how to change it back. Well then, good to know that the number looks good for PR but means nothing. 

 

I don't hate the idea of legacy - I like both the old and new combat system, I just don't feel like using it right now and really don't want to take a step backward when it comes to the interface/hotkeys. If they can give me hotkeys for spells/prayers/items alongside the old combat system, then I'll just switch between the two whenever I feel like using one or the other.

 

Of course, now there's the inevitable arguments and testing for what Slayer tasks are faster on one or the other - there has to be something there, and people will be changing based on the task. At the least, it should be amusing to watch.

If you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.

Can't have 2 menus open at the same time

No customization whatsoever

No action bar ... (heck even without abilities it's more useful than anything Legacy can bring up to the table ...)

 

I doubt anyone with clear head will use it ...

Positive and mature content are two different concepts

But since when has Jagex ever really cared about accurate logical statistics? I mean why go with common sense and fact when you can frame numbers with vague, not false but definitely misleading statements that make for a big pr win!

 

'200 million players' even though millions upon millions are bots

'overwhelming vote for wilderness and free trade return' even though there was 0 control on double voting and people literally botted thousands of votes.

'the vast majority enjoy SoF as they use it everyday' because using it to get rid of a flashing button tht won't stfu is the same as enjoying it.
