Huge Noob Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 This one: And yet somehow we got stuck with the abyssal fish for a replacement. I think they look somewhat similar. You can't expect the concept art to look EXACTLY like the ingame model, that's just not going to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 True, but they could have changed the color palette and use different texture materials to get a better result while using the same model and not looking like a aquanite dipped in florb. 1 Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterDexter Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Just like the kurask which now resembles a green Jad. :sI am pleased with a lot of the latest graphical updates to slayer monsters, but these seem a bit "low tech 2010 stylish".I have the same problem with all the penance monsters, they are now all green blobs. :s There aren't really good characteristics to differentiate them all (especially when they mob up in Hardmode wave 8).

V O R K Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 It does look in tune with the abyssal wand now.

Alg Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Abyssal fish xD lolStrictly speaking, it does look like an abyssal fish. Kind of an angler fish-y lower jaw, right? I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I like it more than the concept art.

Blutters Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Eh, I haven't checked myself, but did the Helm of Warping remain the same? It looks awesome in its own right, would be a shame to see it turned pink for the sake of the new model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wkw Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 So question Are any of the new rewards worth getting? Runescape player since 2005 Ego Sum Deus Quo Malum Caligo et Barathum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylpheed Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 So question Are any of the new rewards worth getting?I'd say the collector's insignia is worth it. It's a pocket slot item that acts as a ring of wealth with added benefits. It also frees up your ring slot for something more useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza285 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Are there teams getting consistent kills? Also i think the screen freeze/dc is from teleporting or moving from on location to the next. And yeah the collectors insignia is by far worth it. I think healers and attackers might be interesting alternatives for rocktail soup and cruelty scrimshaw.

strilmus Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 when the insignia is charged up, it acts like two rings of wealth man, such progress, it's like we have more than one finger or something i think the other insignias are worth getting too because if you're doing five penance king kills, you're gonna have enough rounds to max out every role and then some, and it doesn't hurt to have some combat based pocket slot items (esp when you could use some extra protection in future ba runs) healer insignia gives a big ol 10 prayer boost in your pocket regardless of being charged or not (the charged food bonus ain't really that much)attacker insignia randomly applies dot to your attacksdefender insignia adds armor as if it were an extra armor accessory piece (and doubles it if you're using a shield) edit: just checked, doesn't stack with row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorator Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I haven't played this yet; probably will soon. BA used to be pretty much my favorite minigame; I was a damn good healer, and solid at everything else (didn't att much because of low combat levels/high supply of others wanting to do that). I really like adding the option to put the horn calls on the ability bar; that's gonna be quite convenient. I think it'd be obvious that with the way Revolution works, you can't use it in BA. Just not gonna work well, heh. the ridiculous thing is that they actually required a queen kill post update when the rewards menu clearly remembers that as a requirement for buying a granite plate I don't think that's because of a technical limitation; I think that's to get people used to the changes from this update before taking on hardmode. It makes sense, I think. Obtained quest cape and base 92 before obtaining any 99s! Currently finishing out my 99s with the (long-distant) goal of comp cape.

strilmus Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 the only real thing you need to know is that eggs do different things and the monsters look different to get back into it, but then hard mode is completely different from normal mode so it's like why did they even bother when you're gonna shove the player off a cliff anyway normal mode doesn't even come close to preparing you for the madness that happens in hard mode, like enemies suddenly gaining adrenaline and the coordination to pile targets, healers that require 8+ hits with food (and being given exactly 1 more hp than it would take to kill it cleanly) getting ai that makes them run away to the far edges of the map all the way outside the view of any player (emphasis on being able to run which means that chasing them is as nigh pointless as attempting to heal a player that is for some reason, running away from you while you're trying to heal them) or stack in one spot on top of each other while clinging to an enemy, and runners self destructing without any kind of previous warning (AOOOOGAH), which will immediately kill any expert defender that stacks the runners and doesn't run out of range of the explosions (or anybody else for that matter, such as a healer trying to help the defender) nor does the tutorial board cover this, and the king manual is intentionally vague and doesn't mention things like people reading scroll words too early prevents the king from dropping scrolls for a good 10 or 20 seconds (or hell, that you're SUPPOSED to hit the invincible, not taking any damage boss to get scrolls while the game immediately says that your attacks aren't having any effect in order to distract you from the scroll's dropping), or what the [bleep] the poison meat dispenser does or that it actually exists, and that only some roles can use the anvil but the other roles aren't prevented from picking up buckets the game fully intends to kill you several times to teach you, but makes you endure an entire enemy wave every time just to get to the point where you start being able to "learn" (die) this scenario begs for people to exploit flaws in AI patterns in order to simplify the entire thing (like encouraging healers to corner themselves in a stupid location where they can't run or grouping attacking enemies into clusters to be egg bombed), but as soon as people find them it is likely that jagex will decide that it's against the spirit of the game (aka what they think is the "right way" to play based on their limited understanding of their own game and playerbase/complete lack of ability playing their own game) and screw with the design to make it annoying again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saradomin_Mage Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Good post by Mod Timbo with this week's update about the ring of wealth (and collector's insignia). Hey guys, The Ring of Wealth has been a pretty controversial and hot topic of conversation across the RuneScape community for many, many years. With loads of different theories, conspiracies and misconceptions about what the ring does, how it interacts with drops and with what you can use it with - it's time to clarify it once and for all. I will only be talking about how it effects drops from monsters in terms of PvM - the effects of it in skilling is pretty well known by now and doesn't require explanation (but feel free to say otherwise and could update it in future). I posted about it before in this forum but I'll briefly run through how the Ring of Wealth works in terms of drops. The loot system in RuneScape is a random roll of a certain number, for example 100, and depending on what number you "roll" when the monster dies depends on what loot you get from it. Typically, all of the good or rare loot in this example would require you to roll a 1 out of 100. What the Ring of Wealth does is to decrease the roll number so that you have a better chance of getting the good stuff. For example, it would decrease the roll from 100 to 90 meaning that you have a 1/90 chance at rare stuff instead of 1/100. There are two different scenarios that the Ring of Wealth does this, it is either only on specific rare drops or it is for the entire drop table where the rare drops are on 1/2/3/4/5 rolls. So for some real examples of this: The chance of getting an Abyssal Whip is 1/1024 but with a Ring of Wealth it is 1/1017 and none of the regular drops are affected. The bodyguards at Armadyl God Wars (Flockleader Geerin, Flight Kilisa and Wingman Skree) have a 1/128 chance to have another chance at the rare items from Kree'arra. With the Ring of Wealth equipped, this then becomes a 1/127 chance but it also reduces the chance at 1,000-2,000 coins because it decreased the whole drop table and not just the rare items. For this reason, I'll be splitting the list of monsters effected by the Ring of Wealth into two: one that only has its rare drops effected by the Ring of Wealth and another that has its entire drop table effected as a result of wearing the ring. Only rare drops effected Skeletal Horror - Increased chance at obtaining a Crystal Triskelion piece Cave Horror - Increased chance at a Black Mask Mutated Jadinko Male - Increased chance at a Crystal Triskelion piece and Vine Whip Tormented Demons - Increased chance at obtaining Dragon Platebody clumps Dark Beast - Increased chance at obtaining a Crystal Triskelion piece and Dark Bow Aquanite - Increased chance at obtaining an Amulet of Ranging Glacor - Increased chance at obtaining Glaiven, Steadfast or Ragefire Boots Automatons - Increased chance at Cresbot pet and Pneumatic, Static or Tracking Gloves Tormented Wraith - Increase chance at obtaining Holy Elixir Mithril Dragon - Increased chance at obtaining a Dragon Full Helm Legio bosses - Increased chance at obtaining a Crystal Triskelion piece Dust Devil - Increased chance at obtaining a Dragon Chainbody Skeletal Wyvern - Increased chance at obtaining Granite Legs Strykewyrms - Increase chance at all rare drops (Focus Sight, Hexcrest and Staff of Light) Ice Strykewyrm - Increased chance at obtaining a Crystal Triskelion piece Ganodemic Beast - Increased chance at obtaining a Crystal Triskelion piece Rare Drop Table (Super) - Increased chance at obtaining a Crystal Triskelion piece Abyssal Demon - Increased chance at obtaining a Crystal Triskelion piece, Abyssal Wand/Orb or Abyssal Whip Gargoyle - Increased chance at obtaining a Granite Maul Nechryael - Increased chance at obtaining Rune Boots Whole drop table effected Daggannoth Kings - Increased chance at Dragon Hatchet GWD Bosses - Increased chance at each bosses respective rare loot (doesn't work with WE2 abilities or warpriest pieces) GWD Bodyguards - Increased chance at each bosses respective rare loot (doesn't work with WE2 abilities or warpriest pieces) Spiritual Mages - Increased chance at Dragon Boots Chaos Elemental - Increased chance at Dragon 2h Sword Exiled and normal Kalphite Queens - Increased chance at Dragon Chainbody Kalphite King - Increased chance at Drygore weaponry Exiled Soldier and Guardian - Have no rare drops but RoW does affect drop tables Tormented Demons - Increased chance at Dragon Claws and Dragon Limbs Corporeal Beast - Increased chance at a sigil drop Nex - Increased chance at all rare drops Rare Drop Table (Gem Table) - Increase chance at Dragonstones and chance to get on to rarer RDT items I hope all of that made sense and those people who are interested in drops, the Ring of Wealth etc find it useful.

Arceus Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Improving odds from 1/1,024 to 1/1,017 or 1/128 to 1/127? Careful, that might be overpowered!
