July 22, 201510 yr If your clan is willing to take someone who isn't incompetent, but lacking experience I will go later in the week. I have been reading up on mechanics and it does seem like a tough fight. Maxed [February 14, 2012] | Completionist [October 25, 2012] | Trimmed Completionist [in Progress]Visit my Blog!
July 22, 201510 yr Grats! Did you end up taking my slot at that, or did you go with someone else? :pI did go with a different group, as they were much nicer. It allowed me to be as equal as the rest of the group, be part of it. That was actually the second attempt with the group as the first we had some bad luck with the servers...

July 22, 201510 yr There's basically absolutely no incentive for people to do Yaka (because of the complicated fight, costly supplies, etc.) more than 1 per lockout, unless they're selling leeches. So people who have done dozens of failed kills in order to learn and get better are sure as hell not going to take noobs and repeat all that process of failed kills for no loot/reward, unless they're leech sellers. Basically, Yakamaru is the most poorly designed boss, as far as rewards go, in Runescape history. Jagex is too delusional to see that of course. So if you're a comper who isn't the best pvmer, and you're looking to get your comp back back, your options are extremely limited, and you'll more or less have to either get with another team of noobs and do dozens of attempts until you all get better, or you'll have to pay for a leech. Experienced teams are not going to take you, for the most part, because Jagex gives them no reason to do so.
July 22, 201510 yr They should revamp the training point system, make harder bosses give more points than easier ones and put some actually useful rewards in there rather than the ever-so-popular trio of useless cosmetics (override, title, pet). It probably wouldn't help much but it would be a start. Inefficiency = fun. That's objective and can't be debated. Ever.

July 22, 201510 yr Or they could just give people reasons to do more than 1 Yakamaru kill per 48 hours. If they did that, then teams would be constantly running, and some of them would be willing to help soccer moms who don't do bossing. Right now, the majority of teams do their 1 kill and stop raiding and do other stuff until they can reset.
July 22, 201510 yr Just have subsequent kills give slightly reduced loot - 90%, 80%, 70%. Especially since Mod Ramen couldn't even get his "Yakamaru loot worth 5m" thing correct. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

No point in killing it at all imoAt worst they should lower it to looting each boss (or BM twice) every 24 hrs vs 48 hrs.
July 22, 201510 yr Just make it a roll for unique drop (teci/codex/armour) once/boss/48hrs with unlimited normal loot. Or perhaps more fun would be halving the drop rate for unique drop every time you loot with it resetting every 48 hours, so that players can still have a chance (albeit small) of a drop. best drops (reasonably accurate/up to date): 1x Elysian Sigil (LS), 1x Arcane Sigil (cs), 4x Armadyl Hilt (solo at 100m, 100m, 50m, and 5m), 2x Saradomin Hilt (solo at 25m), 5x Draconic Visage (34m,1.2m,1.2m) and various cs/ls/ffa Nex splits. Drygore Drops: 7 Longswords, 3 Maces, 3 Rapiers, 3 Off-hand Rapiers, 5 Off-hand Maces, 3 Off-hand LongswordsROTS Shields: 12 Seismics: 16Ascension Crossbows: 6 Spider Legs: 10Countless Armadyl armour pieces, Saradomin amulets, Dragon Hatchets, and Fremenik Rings.Range~Herblore~Construction~Constitution~Defence~Farming~Magic~Attack~Prayer~Strength~Summoning~Slayer~Mining~Dungeoneering~Firemaking~Agility~Magic Mastery~Summoning Mastery~Cooking~Smithing~Fletching~Thieving~Hunter~Woodcutting~Fishing~Runecrafting

July 23, 201510 yr This game does seem infinitely more fun when you don't have to play flawed content to keep a sparkly cape. Unfortunately it's major drawback is you have to do crap updates as well as anything fun. Back after a 5 year TIF hiatus. Please don't mind me too much.
July 23, 201510 yr Yaka isn't hard its just finding a team is hard.

July 24, 201510 yr The new loot isn't really much better. Ascendri bolts are useless, and they don't even sell LOL. The other common drops are decent though.
