@SaveJapan, Are you serious? This is exactly the type of thing long time players have been asking for. Old content reworked. I would rather they put ALL new content on hold for a year and fixed everything that needs fixing and got all the old content up to speed. I hope they focus such energy on things like Trouble Brewing next. The more new content added the deeper such much neglected features get buried. Besides, I look forward to being able to train Slayer without necessarily having a task. It's about time players were given a bit more freedom with slayer.


On another note, for those that missed my other posts, you really should take a look at the RS home page atm. Take a geezer at the still shot of Mod Osborne and compare to the face of the Hoardstalker in the promo banner for sinkholes.

HILARIOUS!!!

What are YOU talking about? I don't see forums being spammed with "Please graphically rework the entire game NOW!", so i don't have a clue what you're on about.

"I would rather they put..."

Nice English there

"I would rather they put ALL new content on hold for a year and fixed everything that needs fixing and got all the old content up to speed. I hope they focus such energy on things like Trouble Brewing next."

Clearly you don't understand that a graphical rework isn't a fix, its an improved visual reconstruction. Its not the fact that trouble brewing is broken, but rather the fact that the rewards are cosmetic and bad. Players don't give dam about rewards if its a freaking a waste of bank space with no benefit. THAT IS WHY THE EOC BETA FAILED AS WELL, YOU CAN'T LURE PEOPLE WITH COSMETICS ,BECAUSE THEY DON'T BENEFIT YOU IN ANY WAY. A good example that trouble brewing isn't broken is that if you were to put like level 90 armor on the reward list then it would have people playing it 24/7, so its not *roken, it just has no benefit.

Same with the slayer tower, if Jagex hadn't added the extra reward task thing then it would be back to being dead, because you still get the same junk as before. The problem with trying to fix the slay tower with more xp reward is that you will be killing off kuradals dungeon, because nobody wants less xp, so you are killing off 1 slayer area for the revival of another.

Also the new floor is pointless, because people aren't fighting for resource, BECAUSE THE TOWER IS UNINHABITED (except for 3-4 bots). Its empty because nobody goes there.

How often must people be reminded that GREAT GRAPHICS DON'T MAKE A GREAT GAME. I don't mind the game having graphical reworks, but AT LEAST put a piece of content alongside it.

Have you ever done slayer? You never needed a task to kill a slay monster in the first place (til strikewyrms came out), you only needed the level to kill it.

Also if you actually knew Jagex then you would know that THEY HATE it if you kill a monster without a task, that is why they made Strikewyrms in the first place.

"This is exactly the type of thing long time players have been asking for."

If you cannot see my 10 year veteran hood on my avatar, then i will inform you that im a 10+ year veteran and i claim your statement to be invalid. Of course there will be other ones that do want it, but that was always gonna be the case (not everyone is gonna have the same opinion).

Unlike you i give actual reasons why i like or dislike things the way i do.

"Its not the fact that trouble brewing is broken, but rather the fact that the rewards are cosmetic and bad. Players don't give dam about rewards if its a freaking a waste of bank space with no benefit."

To be honest, everyone has their own preferred style when playing a game, some people LOVE cosmetic stuff, some people LOVE combat stuff. Yes I admit that Combat is the biggest factor in runescape, but it isn't everything.

"How often must people be reminded that GREAT GRAPHICS DON'T MAKE A GREAT GAME. I don't mind the game having graphical reworks, but AT LEAST put a piece of content alongside it."

Yeah I know, graphics isn't a big factor in a game but it helps certain people to enjoy the content, some people actually does get put off by very poor graphics, once again, everyone have their own personal preferred style.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is just my personal opinion, please don't take it the wrong way, I really don't want to make bad terms with people as it has a high tendency to occur.

But yeah, for example if Jagex makes a graphics ONLY update then I won't enjoy it that much, it's always good to insert a new content along with it to keep the update alive for a good period of time. Le Infamous XP Waster... Part-time Demon Flash Mob Hunter; 8 titles found

This update has a little bit of new content. They didn't have to add in contracts but they did, which is a bonus. As for Graphics, I love graphical reworks. When they reworked mort myre and the ghasts I was like, WOW now we're on par with some of the modern console game graphics! It'll be great once the whole game has been graphically reworked because atm there is still much older style graphics and alongside the newer graphics it kinda looks tacky.

"Sorry, didn't realize this was a slurring contest, your Highness."

Actually my second account username was "Hinyness" a joke reference to highness.

"So, since when can you gain slayer xp by killing a *layer monster w/o it being a task?"

Well since xp lamps, but thats besides the point. The only thing i can answer to that is YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO KILL THEM ON A TASK FOR XP lame brain! Thats the whole point of slayer, to kill assigned monsters for experience. What you are demanding is like asking for a woodcutting method that doesn't involve chopping trees.

The whole point of killing a slayer monster without a task is that you still get better drops from it than a non slayer creature (bosses not included).

Im off to bed now dumbbell.
