Back in rsc there was much less skills. 1300 total was a mighty achievement and maybe even 1000 or 1100. Now these levels are achieved by people around level 60-70 for the later of the three i mentioned. What was once great has now turned into an everyday achievement. Even I have achieved level 1300 total and personally my skills are terrible compared to combat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is the new 1300 total of rs2? How have once great accomplishments turned so...average?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With these new skills sure they are fun but how can once great achievements seem average? The moon landing was once the greatest thing to happen but now it is very good but doesn't bring that same "brilliance" that was associated with it before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What achievement can be considered good (not 85slayer but tota level achievements) if once a new skill is created they become mediocre?

(this isn't a rant) :

OT:well pking was much better in rsc so more people did it so they didnt trained anything except their combat stats

 

 

 

back on topic i guess pking isnt much of a 'skill' you need to train now so they go for high total lvls thats the reason i guess...

I think that 1600-1700 is the "new 1300".

My goal was 1800 before the release of Hunter Skill..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I still think 1800 is good but now I am going for 1800 minus Hunter

1300 = 1800 now. There was a thread about this awhile ago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also i think a 99 combat cape + 100 or more cmb = the new 100cmb.

i dont get it really :-X

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

as most games progress it gets harder but runescape seems to get easier and easier as time goes on :(

Only gets easier because JAGeX are a bunch of [developmentally delayed]s... If they actually updated right, it wouldn't be faster. In my 5+ years of playing RuneScape... I've noticed that after they took out wild everywhere, then they took out RSC in its entirety (Only listing the huge [wagon] updates), it seemed to get extremely easy... They just don't know how to do anything right, they are basically programmers without brains, if thats possible.

And you have the brains to make RS perfect and to suit EVERYONE not just individual people?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think the new 1300 total is around 1800-1900. If hunting wasn't released it would be 1700-1800. I myself have a long time to go until I am considered an excellent player.

there used to be an equation to work out whether you were "too combaty" or "too skilly" if you wanted a truly equal character, darned if i can remember it though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

total level never really concerned me to be honest, or combat i just play for fun but i guess around 1800 is truly respectable

Well.. To come back to rsc you need to remove..5 skills, is it? (Runecrafting, Slayer, Farming, Construction and now Hunting). That is 495 levels. If you look at it that way, 1795 total is "the new 1300". The highest total of that time must have been 1782. But comparing 1300 total in rsc to the highest total of 1782 is, to me, like comparing the new highest total of 2277 with a total of about 1600. So I'd say 1600 total is "the new 1300 total".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1300/1782=0.729517396

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2277*0.729517396=1661

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mathematicly, 1661 should really be "the new 1300 total".

Yup, I remember when 800 or so was considered great....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nowadays, with all the new skills, the magnitude of players, and how much easier most tasks have become, its impossible to really be "noticed" for your skills anymore. Blame all of those above factors, and the typical, highscore-obsessed players.

Patchman5000, if you're just going to be a jerk, leave. So far today, I've seen two of your posts. Both were crude and inappropriate; and both had censored words in them. Keep in mind Jagex has quite a few 'scapers, and it's impossible to have an update that pleases everyone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Getting on topic... As more and more people come into the game, more and more people accomplish what is "good," meaning that eventually it won't be special anymore. Hell, look at the ammount of the maxed out players (well, unmaxed as of today, but you know what I mean). When I first joined there was only one, and it was Zezima. Now there are 7 or 8 of them. Within a few months, I expect to see the entire first page of maxed out players, which would make the achievement less noticable. Don't me wrong, it's still one hell of a thing to do.

Do we need another "1300"? I am happy with every level I get. How about we just stop comparing between the old and new and just keep moving forward?

I agree. :)

Getting 1.5K skill total seems hard to me. Of course with more skills it gets harder. Personally I find each skill hard, even thieving though it's my best skill I find it a little bit hard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Getting 1.6K seems very hard to me. Of course with the new skills it's nearly impossible to get total max skills, but nothing's impossible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was pretty boring in RSC, not being able to drink potions in middle of battles or walk away? That's boring, I'm glad they took that out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, maybe in RSC 1.3K was hard, now it's easy, but getting higher is harder.

so whats wrong or weird about that? now 1700 or 1800 total is good, and 2000 is t3h pwn@g3!!11

im lvl 99 with like 1183... skills are lame pking is the only half fun thing in rs if you can do it... i would like a 100 cape when i evetually hit lvl 100 only 1 hp 1 str 1 att to go till 3 digits w00ot?

rs really isn't that easy, and my goal is 1783 total level, and I don't expect to get that for a few more years of playing if I don't quit between now and then.

I got 1337 today. :D

I agree 100%, some people find it easy because they are experts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not everyone's an expert, everything's too easy if you become too genius at it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Either way it's hard for almost everyone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off-Topic: I hate then people call me noob of something I find hard and they find easy.

i dont see you with the multi million pound company, and an audience of 6million. So shut your trap :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

why are you playing runescape anyway?

i dont get it really :-X

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

as most games progress it gets harder but runescape seems to get easier and easier as time goes on :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's one thing I've never understood either. Combat is so incredibly easy now it has almost no meaning. :-k

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had 1350 skill total on classic and I consider that a much bigger acheivement than someone who started on rs2 and got 1800 or even 1900 (without hunter) because most skills are so much easier now.

 

i dont get it really :-X

true, it makes it unfair for people who have been playing for a long time, especially for the ones that have been playing since rs2. But the never skills are harder than the original ones.

I agree. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i agree with that agree :P , i don't particularly care about total lvls as i do about raising lvls

i dont get it really :-X

When a new skill is released, of course there are 50-60 easy levels that come quick. I don't get how more skills coming makes the game "easier".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The game does get harder. As you train a skill, the higher it is, the tougher it is to train.
