Lack of big updates this year?

[Dalcyte]

yea RFD lol...new game engine???? can't believe u forgot that one.

[piman1053]

i diseagree with this topic. the recent graphical update was insanely wonderful and construction was probably the no.1 biggest update of all time there were also many quests and other graphical updates, and some 30 worlds added

[Shadow93]

I hope summoning or a new skill comes out this year, because last year 2 or 3 skills came out

 

 

 

pet raising would be a nice skill also, because the bird eggs have been added for a year

[Made0f12une]

Don't forget the world famous Durial glitch was discovered and fixed. That seems pretty big to me.

 

 

 

Off topic: Ancients and barrows are only a year old? How did people play c wars, much less win?!?! :uhh: Scares me to think about snaring in mystic... :shock:

 

 

 

Alongside that whips, dear good how did we ever survive?!?!

 

 

 

 

 

I dont see why your all pissing and moaning about not having enough "big updates". Think about f2p, they get an update once every 3 years. I wouldnt complain guys, they havent seen a new quest... ever.

 

 

 

Offtopic: Whats RFD? :uhh:

 

 

 

EDIT: Also, something everyones been neglecting, the fact that now mage pkers and range pkers now have prayers to give them a boost in the battlefield (I know most of you dispise prayer users)

Biggest quest ever added to rs, biggest skill ever added to rs (construction took 5 years for them to figure out how to implement), pest control which totally killed rs..

 

This year has had much bigger updates, this year has made every thing so much easier that i can barely stand playing anymore and your saying you want more?.

 

Since house alters were added the number of 126s in rs tripled.

 

Since pc was added the number of maxed melee stats chars on rs tripled.

 

Any more updates and rs will just die.

[Freshwacka]

The biggest update this year was undoubtably the MUCH NEEDED chat update. Now we can stop being scammed by 0o0o0o0o0o0 people, and we can make all the asian faces we want!!! ^.^

 

 

 

If only we could use the simple contraction without an apostrophe :roll:

They have to do some MAJOR tweaking to the chat filter. it's full of thousands of bugs.

 

 

 

You can get away with saying stuff such as ffs and wtf

[beud4500]

If your talking about biggest update as in influence it would be the pure essence change I guess.

 

 

 

Theres also tons of others though like many pointed out.

[Peronix]

I guess it all depends on one's definition of a BIG update. Your definition could be what adversely changes the game as a whole, what changes your play experience, somthing that the players have wanted, or, simply somthing with a lot of content. You might not consider all of those things big updates, but at least a few people consider what you might not a big update.

 

 

 

If you take an unbiased look at the update list, you'll find that there actually have been an abundance of big updates.

 

 

 

*Mage Training Arena

 

*Dragon 2 Handers (might not consider the weapon to be particularly good, but the update did bring about a new boss, which we have very few of, and heck, what people have been demanding is finally here. One step closer to filling the entire 'smithing table' with existing dragon weapons).

 

*RFD + Armored Gauntlets

 

*Pest Control

 

*Game Engine Upgrade (from what they said, this will open up the possibility for a multitude of things that were previously impossible for the old engine. including the next thing...)

 

*PLAYER OWNED HOUSES. Only been waiting for this one for... forever. Dosen't matter if you like it or not, it's still a humongously huge update. And that makes it big. I liked it.

 

*Warrior's Guild. Defenders rule, yo. 8-)

 

*Lunar Diplomacy. New magic class, weather it has very many practical applications, or not.

 

*New Crossbows

 

*Demon, Dragon, and Giant update. Yeah, it's not that big, but now demons and dragons actually look cool, instead of like animals. Which is prettymuch what they looked like before.

 

 

 

That's ten. If you don't count the last one, nine. That's one big update for every month, which is impressive considering they did it all in conjunction with all of their other updates.

 

 

 

And really, you have nothing to complain about anyway. As I have quit and partially rejoined runescape, I now play other online games. They get updated MUCH, MUCH less. Jagex, though, pumps out the updates like a well-oiled machine (which is kind of what makes me stick to it, however little). I guess you guys (or some of you, at least) have just gotten so used to getting updates all the time that you expect way too much of them. Making things for implementation in such a massive game world as this is a lot harder than you may think, yet Jagex seems to be doing an OK job.

you said like double what i was going to say, i was going to say graphics new skill and a new game engine.

 

 

 

 

 

those seem to be the biggest updates so far, and reciepe wasnt that big BUT STILL impacted us greatly

[lifeguard200]

last year seemed PRETTY GOOD considering i liked the following for the following reasons

 

 

 

1)Bronze/Iron/Steel Dragons- I like them for the easy mage exp and the dragon items they drop :P

 

 

 

2) Slayer- its just an awesomes skill that goes with combat, i personally like this one alot :)

 

 

 

3)dragon scimtar- help me train sooo much easier, i would have to train with a d long or dds for strength :oops:

 

 

 

4) ancient magicks- i barely use them but when i do its awesome, cause then i can get into the green dragons real fast

 

 

 

5) barrows- ive made a bit of money from there and i still go back there hoping for a spear

 

 

 

6) abyss- i made soo many runes that way.. and the fast way :wink:

 

 

 

7)Farming- helped me with herblore

 

 

 

8)cook x- cooking alot easier but yea helps me look on forums :P

 

 

 

9)Fight pits- made me go to my limits for one thing.. the fire cape

 

 

 

10)Bank pin- i never had a problem with my bank, but this helps

[Tks_Mage]

People have been waiting for construction/carpentry since the game started, so I disagree about there not being any good updates this year.

[mlopes70]

er..... construction ring any bells?

contruction wasnt all that big, there isnt too much that can be done with it that would effect the game as a whole, which I believe is what makes a big update a big update.

 

 

 

Didn't affect the game. There was a massive deflation. All prices just dropped. Whips, barrows armour everthing. Many people wished to spend mass amount of money on construction. So don't say it wasn't big :?

[Baddle_Axe]

I seem to remember, a long long time ago, Jagex mentioning official clan support... and horses... though I may be imagining the horses. There could still be stuff coming yet!

[FrankyBrown]

We've had quite a few good quests this year so I'm happy. (plus the awesomeness that is construction \)

[Unitedite]

Biggest quest ever added to rs, biggest skill ever added to rs (construction took 5 years for them to figure out how to implement), pest control which totally killed rs..

 

This year has had much bigger updates, this year has made every thing so much easier that i can barely stand playing anymore and your saying you want more?.

 

Since house alters were added the number of 126s in rs tripled.

 

Since pc was added the number of maxed melee stats chars on rs tripled.

 

Any more updates and rs will just die.

 

 

 

Exactly. We've had the biggest quest ever and biggest skill ever introduced. The biggest ever engine change since RS2 came out. The third most played minigame (Pest Control, after Barrows and CW). An update to range as big as the update to mage last year... and a big update to mage.

 

 

 

How you can say we've no had many big updates is beyond me.

dude pest control is probably the most played minigame, barrows i dont consider a minigame, but okay ill give ya the idea alot of people went their.

 

 

 

 

 

the way i mean this is, ive played 10k games of pest control i bet ive spent more time @ pest control then castle wars and ive recieve nearly 1k castle war tickets now

[lol000999]

Jagex promised POH in Decemeber 05. So I say Construction is a big big big one. It's pretty Medicore maybe Jagex will release something these last months.

[dogfever]

No this year has been pretty good in my book. Construction is a ridiculously big update. The new game engine, although it isn't really apparent in the gameplay must have taken forever to develop and is a great update in that it will open up so much more stuff in the future. RFD and the new Morytania quests are all well put together and very enjoyable. The graphics updates are all welcome (and I assume enabled by the new engine). PC is also a big update in terms of it's impact on training and its uptake in the game.

 

 

 

In addition we have had fairy rings and numerous new map areas opened up.

 

 

 

So no, I would say this year is pretty good.

[Alex2828]

I was gonna disagree with you and say this year has been great. But looking at last year you make some good points. This year does have two massive updates- Con and Pest Control.

[koma1]

theres still time for big updates just wait :wink:

[B_50_2]

Xmas + Halloween.

 

 

 

Nothing smells better than 2 updates!

[Dharockslayer]

Xmas + Halloween.

 

 

 

Nothing smells better than 2 updates!

 

 

 

Those events keep getting better too, remember Santa who gave you a yo yo? next year they have an intire department for teh Santa fairies. wich might open this year too, but with other rewards.

 

 

 

Personally i hope the halloween update will be terrorfying

 

Unlike catching jumping zombie heads :roll:

[xevocm8velexx]

Well, in my opinion construction is alot better than farming...

[bookrhino]

I sure hope they are working on somthing big to release by the end of this year.

 

Wilderness tag hasn't come out yet.

 

 

 

Amen! I thought everybody had forgotten about that update-to-be! Release it already! :wall:
