jjrox32 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Would you prefer there to be no cannons in the game? It makes ranged traning waaaayyy to easy, plus everyone gets annoyed whenever you set one up. For example, I was training on hill giants, and this guy comes in with a cannon, hitting 25's. He actually got booed out. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbellz Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Why not? It helps people gain Range XP real easy, but it costs a lot. It doesn't give the best XP, but maybe one of the fastest. I would say.. Yes, Cannons should be in the game. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2007 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Actually, your forgeting something. But first, i dont like them, they but in with other people who want to battle something and bang!!! The cannon gets it first. A waste of space and money, as its cruel to young newby playas. Also, cannons are classed as guns, in a way they are, and jagex said they neva wud make guns! The alredy have!! the cannons shud be catapults in my opinion, exepct you cant steal other peoples monsters. You will all suffer under the power of my ranged, 18!!! Soon to be 99! Hope you can help by errr, helping me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomosiunas Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I bought one but i didnt use it much... Cannon is among people who know how to use it and who can afford it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrington Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I love my cannon as it's an enormous help when performing certain slaying tasks. In general, it's good for the game as it's a money sink (similar to construction), since the cannon balls are nonretrievable. I know it's a pain if you're fighting in peace then someone turns up with one taking most of the kills in the area... but that's life. You either switch servers or bare with it. It's never going to be a massive problem unless they dramatically reduce the price of cannonballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koddo1 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 The cannonball aspect of it is certainly not a money sink, as you are buying them or the supplies for them from other players. The people who buying the pieces however, that's somewhat of a money sink, though I think a small one. Anyways, I think cannons are fine. It's certainly not impossible to attack a monster while a cannon is around, and it doesn't create an insane amount of xp. Plus I think it's really the only way 99 slayer is possible in a reasonable amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just too stupid to realize that one is able to steal a monster being cannoned, unless being attacked by the owner of the cannon, before the cannon itself makes a full cycle :wink: . Hey, nothing like a free 30 on your monster before you attack it :P . *Note: I'm a noob when it comes to Hill Giants, so I'm unsure if a 30 is enough to entirely steal the kill, i.e. it hurts the giant for over half it's total hp. I myself am more inclined to kill Fire Giants :) .

Dalcyte Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 they're strong, but they don't give as much exp. But u know, i like them...every skill has a great, expensive way to train, why cut of range's?

Grim_Jokes Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Yeah, I use a cannon. And I love it. If anyone ever tries to boo me... well I'll just flip you off and make sure to attack all the monsters you're trying to kill. :) Proud founder of the Myriad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThurinEthir Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Cannons are only annoying in multi-combat zones. I don't think hill giants are in a multi-combat zone. Anyways, I love my cannon. It's the best 750K I've spent. And keep in mind, it only gives 1/4th of normal XP, so it's not that easy XP, unless you're max hit with arrows is 7-8.

anonymouse_ Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 It's not really that great for training range...I bought 24k connonballs and ended up selling 19k of them because the exp wasn't worth the cost :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about rapid fire ones ( :roll: ) but still. They didn't have rifles, bayonets and such until way later, thus why Jagex refuses to implement those. I personally think it would be better off if they weren't in the game. Yes they are a convenicene for rich players, but that dosen't change my opinion :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnslyer_15 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 personally i don't like cannons but doesn't bother me they are in the game... I got all my range exp without one so i really don't care about cannons and those who use em RSN: drgnslyer15 15 skills 90+ - 10 skills 99 - 200m+ total exp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampjedi Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I love my cannon. I can work slayer without getting too many combat levels. And yes, I cannon very well in single zones. I can quickly make a single into a multi by finding a place to hide. It's 50% of the xp, and no HP xp. My Goals and Achievements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainpoet Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I would be against having cannons, but then I'd probably have to contact Jagex and see if they'll still reset your quests and stats on RS accounts. Anyway, I don't regret spending 20M in cb to get my ranging from 74-98 or so. The xp in terms of cost isn't that great. In fact the old lvl 80 charg spell strategy for mage was worse. I recall many people using that to get from 80ish mage to 99 in under 5 hours np. Personally, I look forward to seeing rune cb being released someday. It'll be interesting to see how much people will pay just for that bit of extra xp, and bit of an advantage on new items from monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
