Still waiting for the potion update. I've got 300m sitting in herb supplies.

From the 'premier club newsletter' e-mail:
""potions and prayer having added influence on combat effectiveness"

From the "Instanced God Wars" news post:
"potions that boost your combat levels have been given a new lease of life - the increased benefit of levels meaning they're more effective than before"

I'm a maxed player, and I'm not noticing any increased benefit to the use of potions, than before, they were already influenced by level, and a farming update to add to existing potions doesn't really meet this criteria. Furthermore, a whole bunch of armour is now nerfed (again), so any benefits that potions might have given will have to wait until these are re-re-re-re-re-re-re-balanced.

It'd be nice if Jagex stopped treating the players unfairly and just said it how it is, instead of spreading hype and then giving players a huge let-down when updates come out. I'm not even excited about the new skills coming out any more. So full of disappointment lately.

Also, I say this every month, but MMG, you promised that you would reduce the rate of this cosmetic crap this year because players obviously weren't happy with it.

Oh well, as long as the CEO is rolling in the piles of cash, who cares right?

I was hoping there would be a more guthix focused faction rather than just a "no god" faction, I get why he had to die but please don't just phase out one of the most popular gods.

Why not have a seren + guthix faction?

As long as Jagex is getting money they couldn't care less about the players, there just making the most of this opportunity to take advantage of loyal players.

I promised myself if this month would carry on the trend of useless, unneeded 'content' updates along with even more fixes for the combat update that Jagex ballsd up I would quit.

I guess it's goodbye from me.

As Mod Mark said, have fun.

I'll be joining up with the Armadyl Emissary right away.
I hope now (Post TWW, no spoilers) the god wars will start again. I'm talking 500+ npc battle over a huge area with many god's towering above us battling it out. EPIC!!!

Original message details are unavailable.
I am a Little concerned about the Zarosian Emissarie from God Emissaries that will come. Since Zaros was banished during the Second Age and Saradomin and Zamorak made sure that as good as all Zarosian followers were killed and all texts about him were destroyed, it would not really suffice that the NPC would be human, because there is no human alive that can tell for sure who Zaros is and what he represents. Azzanadra is one of the few that could work this role out, maybe in the shape of Dr. Nabanik, since he was there when Zaros ruled and he also has Contact with him through the communion portal that was established during the Temple of Senntisten quest. Just a Little piece of advice...


I've thought about that too. Cool as it would be for it to be Azzanadra, I don't think he's the most likely candidate. For one thing, if it was discovered Dr. Nabanik was Zarosian, there could be consequences.

Personally, I'm willing to say the emissary could be Akthanakos. He's powerful enough to defend himself. He wouldn't be compromising himself as much as Azzanadra would be. He seems to be the go-to recruiter for the Zarosians (if Enakhra and Kharshai are any evidence). And, like Azzanadra, he's actually met Zaros and follows his ideals. Plus, Akthanakos needs a bit of character development, outside his rivalry with Enakhra. He's the least developed Zarosian Mahjarrat at the moment, and does have potential.

He's idealistic, and stands up for his Zarosian brethren despite being weaker than most of them. That takes quite a bit of strength. Plus, he spent longer than Azzanadra spent in Jaldroacht, fully conscious; and he didn't go insane. Being the emissary would be a cool way to explore his character.
