Defender2516 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 As for me personally, i'm a Agility freak. (Currently level 81) I would like to get to know more Runescape Players Perspective of Agility and why you love/hate the skill with a passion. My perspective of agility that i love is because its a skill that affects your charater directly more than indirectly. Let me explain.. When you run in real life, your body gets stronger. Likewise, agility grants your charater to have more running time, directly effecting him. Other skills like fishing only work when your near a fishing spot.. but agility works 24/7 no matter where your at or stand, you'll always be getting that boost! Now from what I know from hearing about other players.. it appears the primary reason for disliking the skill is its lack of fun. You go around and around in a circle endlessly. I don't find this bothersome most of the time because combat is the same way. You attack 1 monster after the other endlessly. However, it did lack.. to put it bluntly, a challenge. I think most people enjoy agility alittle bit better thansk to the brimhaven course. Now, people have a challenge while training the skill. Tag the dispensers before the time runs out, always keeping yourself on your toes, and the positions are always different, even though the routes are the same. Do you think higher level agility courses should be put in with more challenges other than going in a circle? Does brimhaven cure the "I hate agility so much!!! :evil:" fad or restore some favor towards the skill? Would Agility be more popular if it was implemented into combat?

Doughnut Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I hate running around in circles. I would rather see pretty red numbers then run around in circles. Though irl running in circles is pretty fun... :oops: "A time comes when silence is betrayal" MLKJ Speak your mind, but be civil.Get mad, but do not rage.Do unto others as you would want done to yourself.

Peronix Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I think it's because it is incredibly slow to train, unlike combat; which goes significantly faster. I know in my mind I have thought "Wow, I have spent hours on this skill and have only gained 'X' experience". I think if somthing like pyramid plunder were released for it to make it easier, you would see a lot more 99'ers. But undoubedly all the current 99ers would complain :-$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikerkid Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Why are you putting words in my mouth? Agility isn't bad but it can get a tad boring. Quit RuneScape :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender2516 Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 I don't think agility is slower than combat. At the ape atoll course, you get 580 xp under a minute (120 damage) Sounds just about the same rate as combat. ~Defender~ If you love me, send me a PM. 8 - Love me2 - Hate me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defender2516 Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 If you fight monsters regulary with no prayer spots, like the prayer altar at the ape atoll, and not getting 50k a hour, this course gives you close to the same amount. Nearly 40,000 agility xp! Jagex is releases a new agility course this month.. I been dieing for it for so long now.. maybe i'll get to morph from monkey to penguin! :lol: ~Defender~ If you love me, send me a PM. 8 - Love me2 - Hate me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatshepsutLecter Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 -pokes agility level in signature- I love agility. It is one of my favorite skills in the entire game. I love the fact that training it to a high level lets you unlock all kinds of secret pathways and such so that getting around in the game is a lot easier. I think that is fun to train on account of the arena that is in Brimhaven. When I first signed up for my membership that was like a second home in the game to me. And I love it because I think that it is one of the most important skills in the game and the one that affects you the most. If you have a high agility level that means that you are able to get your energy back after running a lot quicker and this means that getting around in the game is going to be much faster. : The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and children are the FBI.First Dragon Drop 5/6/2006 -Dragon Med from Bronze Dragon :DFirst Barrows Item From Chest 2/20/2007 - Verac's Brassard :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_jamzorz Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I've only just started training agility (35 now) and it got boring. But after reading this topic it seem to lighten up again and dosen't seem so boring...Weird. But so far, gnome agility course is the most boring. Barbarian outpost is alright (I love falling in the water) and now I can't wait to try the timed agility course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbarian outpost is alright (I love falling in the water) and now I can't wait to try the timed agility course. My advice is when you hit 40 and go to the timed agility course, stay there till you hit 75 and then go to the ape atole. You can always go to the one in the wildy and the one with the wolfs, but if you don't want to be bored (or running in circles), then the ticket place is the best spot for you. The ape atoll is also a agility course that is a run around the circle.. but at level 75, you never fail it, and get the best agility exp in the game. ~Defender~ If you love me, send me a PM. 8 - Love me2 - Hate me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umega Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I like agility, but it's the repeativeness and difficulty of the skill that bothers me. No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freesia Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Well i train rc and agility together, so if i get bored of rc, i'll go train agility and vice versa. I feel better training at ape atoll if there is another person training with me :P Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(.

Happysniff Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I never thought I'd find someone I could relate to, I am also an agility freak, currently level 80. I dont see why so many people hate agility. Maybe because of the failing of the traps, but not as many complain about thieving when you fail to pickpocket or when you burn a fish, why is agility signled out? It gives a great advantage, I can take two veru handy shortcuts for hellhounds and blue drags in the members dungeon and I can run for much longer then I used to.

Jock66600 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I think the one who made this topic is singling this skill out. Change the title, its misleading, say something like, "Do you love or hate agility." Burn me, I don't care. But its very misleading, and you are leading callow minds into despair that the skill they love is hated. Thanks a lot. I like agility, fun shortcuts, can get boring so I pace myself. Trying to get your post count up? I noticed you made around 5 topics on this board, its starting to get creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini193 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 i just love it. I can't really explain, I just love going over things and going to brimhaven racing for the pillar.
