General Discussion / Re: it's time to make a change!

« on: August 18, 2018, 03:25:50 pm »

Guys this post isn't about what made the game die in the first place, it's about how it can be revived. I would like to hear thomy's opinion on the matter.
Btw why not make a voting poll like how jagex did with osrs

Thinking about what made the game die is pretty damn relevant information. If people left the game because they grew older or moved into completely different games, you simply cannot make those people kids again or make those other games not exists anymore.

@Someone12116, I respect you and all but to simply throw out your opinions and assumption here and act like you know what will be the outcome is just ridiculous. People here are suggesting something that could revive Emps and who knows it might just work out; which is better than sitting in the current situation and just bla about how things will not work out and that people grow old. You don't know that old people can still play games too? Yes I'm old, I married to a beautiful wife and have a son. Named him "Thomy" after our developer and here i am still playing emps and other triple A games. I have had seem enough topics and players wanting OS back, yet I always see the same respond/reply to them which really kept them away from playing for more than a week. If we continue this way, it will Not be long until our player base is half of what's now.

The reason RS died before osrs released was because of EoC. The whole combat system of the game changed. Pre-EoC RS was still more popular than osrs is today. The changes in Emps havent been nearly as huge as EoC was, and thus reverting Emps World into Scape would just cut down the content in less than a half.

Thats the "small" difference here. In addition to that people would lose all their progress, and the hardest content in the game would be fucking Wyvern boss in the ice cave l0l.

id disagree with you. Jagex knew osrs would work and it would never fail them. so they had nothing to lose by bringing osrs. me, as one of many other veteran players, can tell you that problem isnt in game version. bring ing back emps scape wont increase our community at all, our community size will stay as it is right now. i do understand people want old times back, but you also have to realise you cannot rewind time back. Time is most valuable thing in our lifes that we cant change nor get more of it from somewhere. time goes on and so do people and everything else. you have to suck it up and deal with the fact that u cant bring back old community.

I TOTALLY disagree with you! bringing oldschool back would triple the current community size in a matter of week, the biggest example is osrs!

It won't triple shit because if would just remove majority of the content there is in the game and all that would remain is the shit that people have been doing for years over years. Also people who have joined back to rs would have no reason to join emps back because there would be absolutely nothing to do.

You need to understand the fact that the gaming market in general has changed. Both runescapes combined are dead compared to what RS used to be a decade ago. Peaks were around 300k players back then. Now they are at 90k. Back when emps-scape was a thing, osrs wasn't. Even if oldschool emps was brought back, it wouldn't gain much of attention because osrs is an option.

Guides / Re: Guide to the demon bosses, part 1 - Kal'ger

« on: August 13, 2018, 12:50:09 pm »

In my eyes, here's what is missing:

- You mentioned Ranged 99 requirement but not a single picture of Ranged method for Boss. Either exclude it or add up to make up for requirement.
- You can always kill Kal'Ger Boss in all three styles. I don't see how Magic is any exception to it.
- Don't forget to include other gear as well, such as Saradomin Katana and etc. 3rd age and other respective armour depending on which style it goes. As well as mediocre gear for those who can't afford 96 Herblore or weapons you showed as well as Auras and ammo/runes.

Besides these points - Amazing Guide for just about anyone.

People who are looking to kill high level bosses should be fully aware of what good gear for each style is. The relevant information here are the mechanics, because this is a boss guide, not a range/magic guide. If you don't know what good gear for each respective style is, I'd redirect you back to goblins.

Both Hitpoints/defence are certainly not that of the Boss overall.

HITPOINTS ARE NOT THAT OF A BOSS??? are you shitting me? did you even read my thread? Jesus Christ.

There is a reason why Steadfast/Glaiven/Ragefire gloves are at high prices, just as Namnori said. It's good the way it is.

I realize that the boots' prices are not normal and should be a little bit higher but cmon, 100m/30m/30m for just a set of gloves? these prices are supposed to be at least halved in my opinion.

Clearly, you don't read replies - you prioritize to judge replies by who they are made. And yes, I've read the thread. I'm giving my own feedback from personal experience - if it doesn't suit you, you can always thank me for replying at all and move on to argue with other players who agree that this is good idea and should be implemented. I never did say, this thread is pointless, now did I?

As for the gloves, they do give better bonuses than GWD ones, besides the looks. Otherwise, stead/rage/glaiven gloves would have dropped in price ever since the release. Elite Void was always good alternative there regardless whether it's slayer task or off-task killed.

Just so you know it - you can kill it with ranged/magic as well. With those two styles you can constantly heal yourself + aura(vampyrism) and you are good to go. Let's face it, as Ironman you will be at bigger burdens than this. This is nothing, compared to dry streak at Nex. Alugis can tell you story on that one.

Thanks and have a great day.

Alugis is one of those fuckbois who rage about one dry streak but forget to mention the dozens of times he has gotten incredibly lucky.

Ye, it is totally reasonable to 90m for gloves since they do not even have a single maxhit bonus over gwd gloves. Glacors were dead content since release, they were added because Charr didn't like how gwd gloves looked with Nex armor. Besides, Void is better dps anyway and the gloves cannot be used with void set. They are useless.

Plot twist: let's actually buff the other bosses that are weak and make them a challenge aswell.

The last thing this game needs is every boss changed into a concrete wall a.k.a. Chronozon.

This is done to track the actual player count over all the timezones. You already see the number of players online currently in game at the top of the page by clicking the small banner. It also works on mobile when you tap the banner, at least on Android.

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Armadyl Crossbow

« on: July 21, 2018, 03:28:41 pm »

There might be something I didn't understand.

You're suggesting adding Arma c bow as a tier 80 c'Bow to replace another c bow that is already tier 80
so we will end up with 2 c bows, chaotic and hunter as tier 72 that both has the same stats ( and people who are doing slayer will prefer to use chaotic ofc )

why not suggesting improving hunter c bow ( which i have no idea how people can get it ) instead of adding a new c bow ?

Hunter's crossbow requires level 80, yes, but it has the stats of a level 72 crossbow. They have ideal stats and the way of acquiring them is the exact same: slayer points. There is indeed a cap in the gear.

IMO Hunters crossbow should be totally scrapped, it was great when it was the only crossbow available from the slayer shop, but now it is totally useless because of the chaotic crossbow. Bunch of suggestions have been made to improve the kebbit bolts + hunters' c bow combo, but nothing was really done to them because of how great onyx bolts are.

The same model of the hunters' crossbow could be used for the Armadyl crossbow. Demon crossbow would still be BiS, Armadyl crossbow would be the cheaper alternative outside of slayer and chaotic crossbow would be BiS on slayer tasks. Now all the 3 crossbows have a use.

hunter cbow is easily obtainable, easier than chaotic, and has higher lvl requirement. should be dropped to lower tier. you get the cbow for free, you just do slayer for slayer points to buy one. i want to have some other cbow in that tier, that should be obtainable via pvm drops

Why not changing hunter c bow from tier 80 to 72
and changing chaotic to tier 80 with a bit of improving.

If you change chaotic to t80, it would make the hunters' crossbow even worse than it currently is.

« on: July 19, 2018, 02:15:15 pm »

Would benefit both PKers and PvMers alike since the saved inventory spaces are nice. Also would add a reason to train runecrafting and a proper alternative to the rune pouch that bunch of ppl have suggested.

I think that mind and body runes should also be required for the catalytic rune though.

Don't really agree with the dead content items like limestone and barbed bolts. Those don't really help anyone and getting those supplies is actually loss of xp/h if you think about how long doing those tasks takes. It's like those cake and pie tasks for cooking, waste of time and xp.

Apart from those, why not.

loss of xp/h?? think about ppl who does daily tasks and thats it they dont care any more then they only enjoys the game not grinding, if u dont want to lose xp then dont do dailies and go grind 24/7, daily tasks in my opinion are for whole day to not being bored too much so... about dead content yh too much 

You disagreed with me but then you agreed with me. I said the dead content tasks would be waste of xp, not all of them.
