Well, the good news is that Curses are the solution to this problem. Multiple people going on one person would decrease that target's str by .9^x initially. Jagex has placed a very good prayer system that acts very much like resilience in wow but is very different in approach. I applaud them! Now, they went a step backwards by making sap curses boost str :wall: Either way, 1 itemers' threat will now be mitigated thanks to str reduction curses.

With the new fire surge giving a base of 90 exp and the (assumed) damage average giving 28 exp for a total of ~118 exp per cast, is high alching at cwars a thing of the past? Or would Avansies be too crowded o make the time efficient?

I've received 1 drop from a dust devil. that day, I sold my D sq and bought a right half form the legends guild just so I could wield the shield I made myself :D

I just checked the extreme potion boosts on the kbase, and they're 26 points boost. Last time I checked, that's the same as it was the day I saw them on the front page. I haven't been on in a while so forgive my ignorance. I'd look on the RSOF but...yeah...don't want to sift through a bunch of crap to find an answer.

Here, since Jagex's page on RWT didn't convince you, Blizzard's more emotionally driven essay should. Yes, blame the scapegoat, everyone else is. Define "broken" in context of the economy and then people can pretty much agree with you or disagree. Find something measurable or else you're arguing opinions, which by definition is not an argument.

But without hentai artists, America would lose the only thing it doesn't outsource to China D: And what would that-girl-who-hates-me-now do without her furry?! It would be blasphemy; it would be madness! You might was well add hentai doujinshi. I [bleep]ing hate it when those Guthix damned doujin artists make a story that is so anti-canonical that it makes me want to vomit. If they want to make yaoi, they can just go find their own drawings instead of stealing other people's hard work and turning it into pornography. Notice I didn't say yuri. There's this small percentage in my brain that says it's the best thing since sliced bread. I need to strap that part of my brain onto a dwarf death knight and do explosive shot target practice on him. Hopefully it will work. That percentage seems to have about 9,500 resilience. Doujin artists and anti-canonical fans... how can I forget them? :wall: That reminds me. The only other thing that I do not want is people making up couples. Some couples in other series that the fanboys/fangirls make are so unfitting, it sticks in my head and it gives me an unpleasant feeling about them. Others are just downright wrong. Few are good though, and this actually made me like the characters more. Please don't make Runescape couples in machinima, fanboys/fangirls, PLEASE. :pray: U MENE LEIK SASKAY AND WEASEL?!?!?! OMGOMGOMG LUVS DEH YAOI!!!! I doubt runescape will be pairing people up like in anime. We barely have any pronounced names in lore worthwhile to pair. Maybe Enahkra and Zamorak, but nothing much besides that. Heck, the only WoW pairings I know of are between Thrall the Orc Warchief and the Human Archmage Jaina Proudmoore & Jaina with Prince Arthas before he became corrupted.

Heh, yeah, if a WoW player is 20 years old and makes million of dollars a year, then I must be making a third of what Bill Gates is ebcause I pay yearly subscriptions to both wow and runescape. Runescape quests > WoW quests by far. Wow quests are forum threads with no indention. They're like mini-walls of text. Alright, maybe not that bad, but if I want to read a book in a fantasy realm, I'll get off my [wagon], go to Barnes and Noble, and read the damn book (like what I'm doing with Midwinter. Awesome book so far.) And I'll pick up a manga volume while I'm there. I go on wow to do three things: 1. Kill Alliance and plant my Silvermoon Banner over their corpse; the Flavor of the Month Class just got raped by my hunter, TWICE 2. Raid with my guild. WoW raids are > GWD or any boss hunts by far, I must admit. In fact, it makes me wonder why the hell Blizz doesn't just give us all 80 gear from the get go; they don't update old content at all. The only reasonable theory is to give us about 80 days to get used to our class before we get to level 80 (but that doesn't stop people from sucking...BADLY). 3. Daily quests. Simple, cash flow so I can repair my armor or upgrade gems for more dps in raids or survivability in pvp. Quests, skilling, roleplaying, hanging out, etc. are runescape things now. I got to agree Rachet. I have no idea how you're supposed to role play on WoW if you're character says absolutely nothing in quest text except for when you have to press "continue". It doesn't immerse me into the storyline at all. Hell, I barely know why Ulduar exists. Something about the old gods vying for control over azeroth or something because the titan allowed their creations to succumb to "the curse of flesh". The only way I get my lore for the most part is from wowwiki.com Without it, I'd be lost in WoW. Thre's just too much lore to bring it in at one time. Runescape's is simple and catching. The awaited denouement of the Mahajaret ritual is much more exciting than finally being able to slay Arthas, the Lich King in patch 3.3 All I can say is that WoW has turned me racist. Put me in a room with a night elf, human, or draenie, and I'll take them all on, no matter what class they are and simultaneously. Give me a dwarf or a dnome, and I'll send my giant wasp or my bird of prey to have breakfast. I don't care if I die, but that game has unfortunately taught me to hate the Alliance with a burning passion. Oh well, Blizzard needs to add High Elves to the game; they're like blood elves but there's actually a male gender. Off on a large tangent. I need to hit myself. Either way, that's my stance after playing WoW for more than 6 months. But trust me. WoW forums are much worse than rants on Runescape by FAR.

I think the first article is very well written. It has a good balance between objectionable thinking and criticism. Dealing with the psychology of a player seems more interesting to me than going on with yet another essay on how Jagex can solve the problem. The second article instead left me saying, "So what?" (which is a big red flag according ot my English teacher when writing an essay). There are dozens of microcosms in any given social gathering, real or internet. The article gave almost the same feeling as "In many ways, X is different from Y, but in other ways they are the same" which can be said about ANY two items in the known universe (well, I won't stake my life on it, but virtually any). The observation of microcosms was there. But there was nothing to really infer from such things at least as far as the article went. I believe the paragraphs about the forums was too generalized and rushed. If the author and spent more time detailing maybe only 4 distinct microcosms instead of 8 or so and then said something along the lines of "and this is how it relates to the big picture" whether that big picture be the community as a whole in tip.it, the whole runescape community, or even comparing the microcosms to maybe other microcosms of completely different games. Not necessarily rival games, but some sort of insight to other microcosm that is foreign to us in order to put some relevance in the statement. TL;DR version: First one was insightful because it had a facet of redirecting possible blame or responsibility onto us. Second one was boring because there was no compare/contrast within the article to make the thesis really...catching.

I thought we'd already talked about the whole "let's throw more HP at it" deal. Oh sorry, I didn't read the whole thread :oops:

Did anyone even read this? if implemented, it will have monsters that CANT be soloed. This is dedicated teams, guilds implement a DKP system type of play. If this gets made like its described it will be imposable to solo. Hell if i were developing this content i would have a requirement you have to have 92 in 4 of the stats mentioned in the start. Level 85 is total noob. I like where this game is going, this is the content we need. Sounds like a runescape twist on WoW raids. Quite frankly, I'd like to know why heal other must cost hp in the first place. It's ridiculous. But the synergy in this raid seems very demanding. Battle reses will be awesome.

Here's an unsoloable monster: A monster with 100,000 hp with a max hit of 1 and a 100% chance to hit with the speed of a whip. Protection prayers don't work and the monster is immune to snares and haste debuffs. The attacks hits everyone in the room no matter the range. Using sharks, that's 659 hp to eat through. That means even if a person hit 100 damage each time, they would only do a max of 65,900 damage. They would need a consistent average of 151 damage per attack.. 2 people would need a set damage of 76. 3 would need 51, and 4 would need 38. There. Unless it's bugged, that monster is unsoloable mathematically speaking. The above is quite boring since it would take about an entire inventory of sharks to kill the thing even with 4 people. So, with 8 people, it would take only half an inventory of sharks.

An umbrella to go with my toon's dress. In all seriousness, I don't feel like I need anything in runescape. It's just what I do. Ruts, clicks, and the like are what make us what we are. The minute we give up something that we have been doing for maybe several years is the moment we become a different person. I became a different person April 20th, 2009 when I logged onto an official WoW server. I felt great. And now I feel greater because I have a lvl 80 that does dailes for no reason really. Quite frankly, WoW pvp is vastly superior to runescape pvp. I don't even know why I carry weapons and armor in my bank any more. Every single day I wear red audience clothes, an addy cane, a qp cape, and a rabbit's foot. I don't need anything in runescape. I would love an arena team on WoW (damn noobs don't want hunters and don't want anything else but a 2v2 team :-| ) so I can get relentless gladiator armor simply so I can be a better pvp nerd. But do I NEED the armor? No, I'm happy with my hateful gladiator. Basically, runescape is now my chill game. I skill and do non-combat stuff; stuff I thought I would never do. WoW is my pent up pvp game. I kill Alliance or go raiding with my guild. I wouldn't switch games at all. I've thought of picking up TF2, but it offers nothing that both runescape and WoW do not supply me.

It depends if you can't care less because you physically can't (bottom of list) or you emotionally can't (it would break my heart if I did or could). I think most people tend to do the latter. I do the former for sheer practicality.
