Okay...I was wrong, but the "bug" still works.

[jessy87]

 

who said killing dragons in any manner was bug abuse? I overlooked it I guess. Only thing I saw was his analogy to dragon and wyverns.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The problem with this analogy is that dragons and wyverns are completely different creatures. Anybody can fight a dragon, no slayer level or specific items are said to be REQUIRED to do so. Dragonfire shields are only a strong suggestion... and only necessary if you intend to fight dragons for a long period of time. (I'd love to see how many iron dragons you kill without an antifire shield)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some slayer monsters, UNLIKE dragons, have REQUIRED items in order to fight or kill them. Obviously the shield is meant to be required if it is on the list, so I don't see how this thread is any different than the people complaining when Jagex fixed the guthix rest bug while they were solo-ing the KQ with it. If the shield is on the required items list, you should've been playing as if the bug didn't exist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not completely true at all. First of all...I already adressed this...but I guess I have to say it again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the Wyvern would happen to not use any ice breath, you could easily kill it. Regardless as to if you were wearing a shield or not. However, without the proper equipment for other monsters, you cannot kill them. Or, in most cases, you cannot even damage them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So many people are losing the meaning of this post. I'm not saying it SHOULDNT be this way, I'm saying they should give us a heads up on these sorts of updates. I also wish that 90% of the people would bother reading the entire thread before posting. Come on, its not even 5 pages yet...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This would be like them all of a sudden making protection prayers completely useless at Barrows and saying it was a "bug" in the first place that you could use prayer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I saw what type of damage the ice attack used, and I used the appropriate protection prayer for it, how in the world is THAT bug abuse? Thats like saying using a magic prayer at any dragons is bug abuse...or prayer switching on JAd is bug abuse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bottom line, I didn't think it was a bug, they didn't make an announcement that they changed it, and I died. All I'm saying is that they need to make more public bug announcements, especially those that can potentially kill someone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, I've never had to report a bug before, so I had no clue about that screen that listed all the known bugs. WHen did they announce this? How are we supposed to know about it if we've never found a bug before? I guess I'll start checking this screen more frequently...but it's such a stupid inconvenience.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You all act like I'm just here to complain about my death...for the love of Mike, I'm just trying to warn anyone who happened to discover the same thing with Wyverns. I wouldn't be angry if I died anywhere in the game and lost everything I had. I'm just getting very annoyed with Jagex's customer support.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

your examples have no relevance, nor do they have an logistical support.

Some of you need to stop listening to the sound of your own voice and actually read what he is saying.

 

 

 

Killing a dragon without pots is not bug abuse.

 

 

 

I can do it with just prot mage and NO pot or shield.

 

 

 

QUICK BETTER REPORT MY BUG ABUSE!

 

 

 

Grow up, seems like tip it gets more and more sarcastic know it all jerks every day.

If you read my last post on this thread you would understand that we do not need warning because only an idiot would go solo at the Skeletal Wyverns without an elemental shield. Whether you did or not isn't the purpose of this thread correct?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We don't need your warning. When that new update comes, let us hope that this seemingly pointless thread will die.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I dont think he would be using verac's (so no elemental shield) if it doesnt give a fairly big advantage. He probably kills them way faster then normal (since verac's special ignores his massive defense from time to time).

[Leesters]

I really don't understand this. When this monster was released, I went down there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I remember quite clearly that it would shoot a blue mage attack, and that sometimes that mage attack would "freeze you"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once I was silly enough to try to equip a 2 handed weapon, disarming the elemental shield, and got promptly hammered. Should be expected, as this is a slayer requirement for this monster. Just like the mirror shield, noseplug, and earmuffs, if you're not wearing it, prepare for self-carnage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the original post of this thread, it doesn't seem to have changed. It always used mage and melee.

[megakiller32]

You deserve a Darwin Award.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

do you mean the noble prize? :shock:

Yes, it LOOKED like magic. But you can trust me that it was indeed range attack. Im sure you are familiar with Bloodvelds, correct? Well, they use melee right? So you should wear full rune? WRONG. The defense that prevents damage is mage defense, while the attack is still magic based.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only difference here is that the ranged prayer actually WAS the prayer to use.

when are you going to let this thread die? i believe your initial warning has made its point.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

post is not flame wars which is egged on by you, while other people to criticize you. your mistake, you were one of few to have died or been hurt by this bug. we get it, you know what you did wrong, thread should now be locked.

[Myweponsg00d]

New info, check the first post for details.

[trunksrs]

it seems that almost everyone is going against Myweponsg00d, i cant see any reason for it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

his main point is hoping jagex to made every minor updated listed, which there is no sense we should disagree... ranting? no, framing? very yes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) he is not abusing any bug, he still need that slayer level to hit the wyvern, slayer monster are just monsters that need a particular slayer level to kill them...

 

 

 

2) slayer equipment is not a necessary for killing the monster but a supplement that helps your slaying

 

 

 

3) protection prayer is made to dodge attacks, not any bug abusing

 

 

 

4) killing a kalphite queen with full veracs or using a safe spot at any monster is all bug abusing in that sense, we are should be banned

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actually, most of the safe spots are really bug abuse, just some of the quest ones, which Jagex is quick to fix. The point of ranging and maging is to avoid the enemy. Honestly, I would like to see this hanged so that you do need the shield, but, like Myweponsg00d said, if they are gunna change something like this, they should announce it. The used to put bug fixes in the news section. Also, you guys came down way too hard on him. He was trying to be nice and warn anyone else that prayed instead of using the shield, and you guys tore him apart. We really need to cut back on the flaming on this site.

[gspbeetle]

I didnt want to make a new post about this, so I am just going to edit it in. All of the replies to this post up till page 4 are about the old topic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But, I figured out today, the "bug" with the Wyverns still works. However....I used the wrong prayer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can use full Verac set just fine against Wyverns, but you need to use MELEE prayer. I realised my mistake in school today, and went to try it out. It still works. Protect from MELEE protects from their ice attack, regardless if you are wearing an elemental shield or not. I would upload a video, but I'm still at school.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, if you dont believe me, go down there wearing nothing and see for yourself. Protect from melee with stop the devastation of their breath. I just used the wrong prayer :( :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. You still need 72 slayer for this to work, btw.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yea it works, thanks for the info
