Hunter Skill!

[hellbellz]

 

 

 

 

We're probaly going to see another Durial :wall:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I doubt very much Jagex will make that mistake again. And its a non combat skill so we won't get any bug as extreme as that.

And it's a non combat skill? Construction was a none combat skill.. :|

[RSBDavid]

yeah i bet you will use construction to make a treestand and use crafting to make camo if dont have some from the random . you can also use crafting to make one of those camo cloth stands that sit on the ground. who knows?

[Ddrmaster7]

Non combat skill = NO Fally PKin 6/6/06 again ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not necessarily. I'm no expert in programming (I'm learning SQL right now), but from my knowledge, Java is sorta unpredictable, as with many programming languages. When adding new data or updating some old, there's always a chance that bugs can occur in other areas of the program. Jagex as a whole is probably very careful with this, but there's always a chance, not that a bug as huge as the Durial one will occur. It's still a possibility.

[chad8710]

As i was looking through my old screenshots to see if i had any old references of Hunting being a new skill, I noticed that i had one of them adding hunting to the pull down bar they had for reporting bugs in skills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So obviously they have been working on Hunting ever since construction was released.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think that Hunting is Jagax trying to redeem themselves from a huge money drainer skill and try to make a skill that is suitable for everyone not just the rich population.

I was talking SPECIFICALLY about the 6/6/06 bug, of course there will be plenty other types of bugs! But as long as it doesn't have pvp-combat (POHs did) there wont be a repeated 6/6/06 :)

Most probably they've been working on it from much before the time con was released. In the forum Mod Mark said they were ALWAYS working in at LEAST (least doesn't mean maximum, it means minimum, so it's NOT unthinkable) 1 skill and plenty updates (quests and so on) at a time, and as skills take a long time to develop, it'd pratically be impossible to release any good skill in just 4 months, including the debugging process. Unless they were to hire half of the world's population to do it tough :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is probaby how the skill list will be once hunting's released... Note the question mark :)

 

 

 

Now when will jagex leak the image like it happened to construction 'ey? :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice picture there, i wonder what the skill list will become if summoning skill comes out in the future. The image might be a trap picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks... Btw, I photoshopped that picture... It's by no means official. It's just one of the possibilities of how the skill list will end up as. Then when a new skill comes out AFTER hunting, they'll probably:

 

 

 

1. Add a scroll bar

 

 

 

2. Take the total level elsewhere in the same window.

[gonzlar]

Yer i think that this skill is gonna be good. New amour? nice. I hope they release some new mage armour, mystic and splitbark are getting boring now....*groans*.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If anything hunting will become a new supplier for crafting with regards to the new armors. The hunting skill will probably allow you to kill certain animals and monsters within the same regards as slayer thus providing hides to craft. Then again, we all believed that construction would have crafting involved when it was not implemented at all.

[arrowbld]

man i WISH f2p hunting is the skill of my dreams

 

 

 

i think f2p needs a new skill???

 

 

 

think about i :thumbsup: :mrgreen: :D : :wink:

 

 

 

if they do it will make my day and will donate 1000 gp to something(alot to me mr poor man)

[moose585]

a knock-off skill for slayer because jagex is blue due to zez. :shame: jagex this is whats making rs blow, quick updates without thinking them thru.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Learn to type

 

 

 

2. Don't diss jagex, they own

 

 

 

3. make a proper argument before you post

 

 

 

4. It will be non-combat so your Oppinion is useless.

 

 

 

5. Runescape most certainly does not " blow"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On topic, I think this will be a very unique skill, and it doesn't seem like it was rushed to me. :

[trunksrs]

Don't know if anyone has said this but :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4 Months since construction = rushed hunting skill = Lack of Testing = Fally PKing 6/6/06 reborn.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just a thought.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, as someone else said, the misquito probiscus can be used as a ranged weapon and would make pretty good amo for a blow gun, which would be good for hunting small animals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the probiscus was realezsed quite a while ago, they said it would be used in a future update.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, there is already Chompy hunting. It could have been a bit of experminting of implementing hunting styles into the game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jagex doesn't have to work on one thing at a time. Just because their last skill was only 4 months ago doesn't mean they've only been working on hunting for 4 months.

I completely agree with points 2-5. LoL not the first point though :P.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm gonna try to be first to 30 lol. (Won't happen :) )

[Harrington]

Remember what it was like when Slaying was released?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

50 people all trying to slay the 10 crawling hand spawns.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope Jagex design it a bit better so that we've all got a chance during the first few weeks of bedlam

That's what I was thinking while playing last night. I probably won't even try the first week its out.

[MPM]

I'm wondering how many of the people here that are complaining about this being released early actually think it only took 4 months for them to make this skill. The smallest quests take forever to make, their not weekly jobs.

[misterxman]

Agreeing with Misplaceme, these updates take months if not over a year to make. Jagex once posted on the official forums explaining that the weekly quest updates actually take weeks and months to make but are all worked on as to continuously release them. Who knows how long Jagex has been working on Hunting since, but I wouldn't doubt the fact they probably started it way before Construction came out.

[Jard_Y_Dooku]

Wonder if it'll be called HuntER or HuntING?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jagex said "Hunter Skill"... but it doesn't sound right for some reason.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

# File: Hunter.java

The computer will then tell you the facts. :wink:

[dark_ice]

After reading this thread I am convinced that Jagex should rename the game

 

 

 

DoofusScape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

^^^That was directed towards all the whiny-babies that firmly believe Jagex is making a knockoff skill of slayer, or that they just started working on this skill 4 months ago, or that this skill is gonna suck even though no one but Jagex staff knows what it is actually gonna be like, or anyone else who typed something doofus-esque...

[ashozzy2]

its definatly hunter, becuase i was speaking to a jagex mod and i asked him to give me more info about hunting and he replied,

 

 

 

its hunter we dont want animal activists thinking jagex is encouraging hunting lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i was going ot get a screeny but i was in world 2 and it dissapreared.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is everyone going to stock pile for hunter?

 

 

 

im going to stockpile steel bars, coal, all logs, opes and flax

[fgfuyfyuiuy0]

I for one am mad about this update. I think there is enough skills, and this one will be pointless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's next? Are they going to make a skill where at a certain lvl you can kill certain monsters. Oh wait, I forgot, there is one. Slayer #-o

[jamesgoh]

I think we'll get a huge update to pets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

your own imp in a box.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remember how CS was announced? 'Even chairs where you can sit on'.

 

 

 

No-one expected Construction. Jagex likes tiny references, and suprise you. This really could be a reference to hold more pets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

erm POH was said to be released ages ago...but it got delayed...

[Headnazgul]

I for one am mad about this update. I think there is enough skills, and this one will be pointless.

 

 

 

What possible evidence could you produce to back up that statement? You don't know anything about the Hunter skill, yet you already believe it's going to be "pointless"...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How can you people possibly judge an update before it is even released. People said POH's would be useless but why do you think the number of 126's increased dramatically after POH's were introduced? Skeptics never thought to give POH's a chance until they noticed they could get prayer experience several times faster with a gilded altar than they could with the ectofuntus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Secondly, how can there be "too many skills"? That's like saying there's too many fast food places to choose from. How is choice a bad thing in RS? If you don't like a skill then simply don't train it. No one is forcing you to do anything, it is all by choice. Simply because you don't like a skill doesn't mean it should go away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jagex works hard to please us because without us they're nothing. To do this they have to present us with a choice on how to play the game. Everyone in RS plays the game their own way; to force your way onto someone else is just plain disrespectful. So grit your teeth or go find something else to keep you busy if you don't like an aspect of RS. I really hope I won't have to endure any posts later this month entitled "this skill sucks, get rid of it".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry for the rant but people need to be optimistic for a change and hope for the best.

[jaklumen]

We have a sticky on Rants regarding rants on updates after they are released: The latest update stinks because... (Post here.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I agree with Naz here, mostly because there has been many other criticisms based on speculation. It's fine to guess about what it will be, but I would save the negative thoughts after release time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, that includes the sticky-- I will be removing posted complaints about unreleased updates there, if they are posted.

[whizkid338]

I agree with headnazgul, people are already saying it sucks and it isn't even out yet. I think it is cool to get a new skill, especially a noncombat one that it cheaper than construction. And new quests come along with the skill too, which owns.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good Job Jagex! 8-)

[Nero]

YOU BHAVE NO CAHCE NO SURVIBE NAMKE YIUR TINE!@!!!]]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

im sjust gonna make money off the skill the first days it comes out, then I'll train it, just like what I did with consruction :D

[Rebdragon]

I'll probably get my hunting level to one and then get bored with it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Disclaimer: I am in no way saying that I think it's going to stink (well, somewhat, but whatever). I just hate nearly every skill in Runescape, tayz boringnessful. Hunting will probably not be an exception (thus, my "somewhat").

If you think all skills are boring how come you play RS then? #-o
