The sad part is that most of those 'fixes' should have been done through testing and development, not 3-4 weeks after the fact, when the update was already released and people had to sit through their bullshit requirements.

 

Seriously, they are now thinking of making titles trim only instead of Comp? Or making Dungeoneering Recipes purchasable through tokens for a high cost? Why? Did they not realize there were plenty of people with 120 DG or 200M Dungeoneering with lots of tokens who would have loved to spend tokens on recipes instead of wasting their time, or going without Comp?

 

They are just now going to write up a piece on 'guidelines' about what to expect for 'Comp and Trim reqs'?

 

If they can't properly assess the implications of their own updates, then they either need to open beta servers for this sort of stuff, OR give Comp Cape a grace period, so we aren't forced to either go without comp and wait weeks until they fix their ill-planned requirements, or actually suffer through them. This stuff is infuriating.

While i think you are exaggerating the issue i do agree that jagex should have beta servers for prereleases. They should do private invites based on players willingness to explore content and offer like-minded criticism.

I don't understand the whole 120 dung/200m dung argument, if they weren't 120 dung then comp isn't a problem to start with, if they choose to get 200m xp, they choose to do that. There are people with 200m all skills, does that mean they should drop all requirements that involve getting xp?

I can see their point about textures with the elf clans, but I also don't see why they can't work around it.

Minecraft manages to make loads of different grassy terrains and tree types using only 1 grass block and 1 leaf block texture, both in greyscale.

Instead of pushing texture limitations just make the clothing texture, or parts of it, greyscale and then apply a coloured filter based on the npc type.

 

All in all I'm pleased with that change list, only one that sounds a bit eh to me is the cleansing stones - to me the issue wasn't that it was too slow it was that we were sold on a cheap, afk but slow prayer training method what we got is a method barely less expensive than d bones that isn't really anymore or less afk than altaring.

 

For me the fix would be slashing the stones to like 1/30 of their current price but making them take 5-7 minutes per stone with pretty much no change the xp rate - then we have exactly what we were sold a prayer training method that is cheap and very afk but at the price of being very slow.

Cleansing crystals are currently worse xp/gp and xp/hr than dragon bones, so yeah, they definitely need to look into altering their cost.

 

Who balanced this again?

Check this spot out and you know.

Not Mod Mark, no rune platebodies involved.

yup was a solo, not had any group cards at all yet oddly

Did you do the whole dungeon? I've found the yak recipe like 2 doors away, or in a different room near me and not the first one opened

Based on what i have seen it spawns in the next room after you use the card, once you have opened the door

 

if it is a team card, as soon as any one opens a door 1 recipes spawns. when other people open doors they spawn for them as well, up to 1 door opened per team member.

thats how its supposed to work I think, but hasn't always for me. Sometimes I'll be in base with two room exits, use card, open a door and its not there, then have to open the other door out of the room for it to work.

used in start room, cleared whole dung, no recipe

That really sucks I'm sorry, I had the same problem with my first yak card 9although i may have just missed it admittedly, not saying you did at all) all the same that sucks

 

~~~legoman187~~~

I haven't found any recipes in DG that I know of. Are they actual drops or added automatically?

they spawn on the floor with a red dot like keys

Everytime I've used the yak card in start room, it appears in the next room...could be extremely bad buggy luck for others :(

The combination potions are blessing from above. With Voice of Seren + Super Melee it's 5gp/xp or so. Cheap(er) 99 here I come :D.

Do any of the combination potions tick/refresh like an Overload ? (I assume all that use it for ingredient :D)

The requirements to get Sword Artist title... lol.

You could have posted them.

 

 

1 - Be male

2 - Have Evanstyle hair in Zamorak black

3 - Wear a main hand black longsword and off-hand adamant longsword

4 - Jump on any serenity post and perform the poses in the following order

Lotus - Bow - Ward - Crane

I was referring to how blatant the reference is.

You mean more obvious than the title being Sword Artist in the first place?

I've never so much as looked at the series and I got the reference. It makes all the pony stuff in ports seem subtle.
