Ranged and Prayer Suggestion

[Sinkhan]

Ranged Suggestion: Collected Shot Drop

 

 

Description: Arrows, bolts, knives, and every other ranged item will be dropped where the monster dies and will only appear when the monster is dead. If you are not the one who gets the monster's drop (ex:someone else inflicts more damage in a multi-combat zone), you still get your ranged items, but only when the monster is dead.

 

 

 

Reason and Justifications:

 

 

 

1. Realism

 

If you're firing a pointy arrow from a fully drawn back, highy tensioned bow, do you think your arrows would fall to the ground? Or maybe when you take a knife and whip it at someone? Naturally, the item will stay there. Then when the monster dies, you can retrieve your items in a simple step. Plus, if the monster moves around like moving towards you, the same thing will apply.

 

 

 

2. Simpler Collection of Arrows/Items

 

If all the items are all bundled together in a bunch, you won't have to be running around to different spots to collect each one. Although any scavengers will have an easier task, to get more arrows, it's not much different from you being behind a fence and ranging say...cows. The person will just have to dash around a bit more.

 

 

 

And to any Jagex peoples reading...

 

PLEASE MAKE F2P

 

 

 

Prayer Suggestion: Special Area Burying Bonuses

 

 

 

 

Description: Whenever bones are buried in certain places (Example: The Lumbridge Cemetary, Wilderness Graveyard) there will be a certain bonus added. (Maybe like x2 or even x2.5) In addition, at the side of every altar building, there would be a mini cemetary to bury bones for the bonus)

 

 

 

Reasons and Justification:

 

 

 

1. Makes sense

 

Sure, by burying bones, you're being respectful to the gods and laying that goblin, giant, or dragon to rest and getting experience. But wouldn't it make sense if you received a little bit more if you did it in an even more dignifying cemetary which is specifically zoned for bones and graves?

 

 

 

2. Slightly more convient for P2Pers and easier for F2Pers to raise prayer

 

Prayer has seen little change in p2p with the exception of altars in p2p houses and almost none in f2p, so it's still painstakingly difficult to raise your prayer level. This change would make a slight increase in prayer levelers and certainly make it easier on f2pers. Say a person is training on dragons, but doesn't usually use their prayer because they'll have to recharge it at an altar. With the change, they would be more encouraged to use prayer and then with the bones, if they don't want to sell, ecto, or altar them, then they can recharge and get a little bit more xp. And like a said before, this would make raising prayer MUCH easier for f2pers.

 

 

 

And also to Jagex peoples

 

PLEASE ALSO MAKE F2P!

 

 

 

Thank you and that is all.

Ranged: This would encourage rangers to prey on much bigger monsters than intended without penalty. In my view it's been fine the way it is.

 

 

 

Prayer: Though it does look nice and does make sense, this may make ecto-bones overpowered.

[Macmaster92]

it sounds cool

[darthvox]

Good suggestions, especially with the prayer ones, im struggling with prayer.

ranging:

 

Theyve already tried to make it realistic in this respect - the arrows which dont come back are the ones which break. Youd think that firing an arrow at several 100 km/h would put some strain on it

 

 

 

Prayer: Why not just make it so that you only get prayer xp from burying bones in the graveyard? It makes sense, youre not honouring them by burying them in the middle of a bank or the forest

 

 

 

2x or 2.5x is an aweful lot, prayer is hard to raise for a reason: the high level prayers are really good. Theyre trying to reward the people who put lots of effort into the skill (and it makes people become members because its really hard to raise prayer otherwise)

[Zaaps1]

people would collect a bunch of b bones from the bone yard, run to the graveyard of shadows and get mass exp.

 

 

 

I like the ranged one, but the prayer one could use some rethought

[ghostman]

With the ranged one, then I could just range some really high level monster for a long time, and still get my arrows back...It doesn't work out well that way...

[aquariusman]

The prayer idea is good, but what they really should do is that only specific monsters can be honored and give more exp. Such as Bones from a ZAmorak follower will give more experience when buried in the area of a Zamorak Alter, give less exp when buried near a Saradomin Alter, and normal when buried anywhere else, the opposite for Saradomin followers (A.K.A. any man/woman/livestock/others) Also, bones from a Guthix follower will give more exp when buried near ANY alter. Also, bones that are from a spawn should give a reduced bonus, if any, because the alignment of the living is unknown. Also for Monks and other religious icons of Saradomin should be given an extra bonus when buried in the vacinity of a Zamorak/Saradomin alter (Zamorak because it would be seen as an offering to Zamorak). Also ecto-bones should only give their regular experience, since they have been tampered with and would be seen as unfit by any god, even Zamorak. I Dragons would most likely be seen as a follower of Guthix, though some may be excluded, such as the KBD and Black/Red dragons. Green/Blue dragons should be seen as Guthix followers, especially Green. any otherworldy or mutated monsters would obviously be Zamorak followers, and Saradomin would have the Gnomes, Moss/Hill Giants, and other monsters. know what i jsut said is a bit confusing (Trust me, I myself am a bit confused) but I see it as a fairly better adaptaion.

wow the ranged idea is very good! :shock:

[krogiecom]

The ranging idea is not good. It doesnt make sense. You suggest that arrows which drop always drop in a bunch? so if youre using longrange fire, and the monster walks like 10 squares towards you, where do the arrows end up? At the spot where you shot him the first time? Or where you shot him the last time? Whichever happens, it doesnt make any sense! Arrows dont fly across the screen to make it more efficient for you.

The prayer suggestion is rubbish. P2P already have the ectofungus and the gilded altars. F2P should recieve no updates, as it encourages them to become members. They don't pay for it, why should they get it?

[sheepdean]

if you dont like arrow theifs, invest in an air staff and some law runes and grab your arrows, or *shock* walk

 

 

 

prayer is fine as it is, all we need is more prayers, not different ways of raising (next week or week fter i think)

[Wachtwoord]

The arrow idea is rubbish, this will encourage rangers to shoot on an enemy, which will take like 5-10 mins to take one down in a non multi combat area. :\

 

 

 

the prayer idea is rubbish too, whats wrong with a skill which is hard to train, but had good bonuses for training it high??

[seanite]

because it takes forever just to get to level 31 while for some people they can't upgrade to p2p because they can't spend that extra money on that and we would only be getting like a max of 30 xp every bone, is that so bad?

[aquariusman]

This update wouldn't be useful for only non-members, it would help payers too. Doesn't it take quite a while to ectofunctus bones? And what about gilded alters, you need a high level construction or else have a friend willing to let you use his. F2p should recieve updates, As long as they only involve graphics, secuirity, and maybe one once a year to help encourage others to joinF2p and eventually get lured into finally paying for a membership.
