Just for you to know, one of the reason why I play emps, is to train my spoken English.

I agree with Charr. A lot of content in Emps is ignored due to it is not enjoyable or convenient to do. Also making things worth of doing also gives a lot motivation.

They are not useless, with them in inv, you can straightly teleport to the altar of the talisman's rune via prismatic altar. RC is easy enough already, no need to make it even easier. There is already chaos gauntles which gives you 5% bonus exp (as well as member ticket and dxp scrolls).

A question :

Does the look of the NPC has something to do with their location? For example, Queen of Ice can only be found in snowy/icy landscapes?
Or has every NPC a random location?

Completely random.

Geez... sure is hard to find them...

Arcane has 6 strength and 5 attack bonuses over DFS. Dragon defender and Arcane still have the same str bonus, but defender has 5 more attack, but absolutely no defense. Overall arcane is still better when bossing using Void since you'll need the defense if using elemental whip. For slayer Dragon Defender is the best choice.

The ''THERE SHOULD ONLY BE ONE GOOD THING IN THE GAME PER SLOT'' mentality is fucking retarded. It's nice to see d defender have a use.

Well, I don't think I ever supported that mentality ^. As I stated the "best shields in game" before, I think you misunderstood it, or I expressed it in a wrong way. What I wanted to mean is that those shields stand out of other ones, like Spectral SS, with a special effect.

Btw, ty for the info of those shields.

We didn't have or need buyable XP back in scape and we had a decent player count.
OSRS doesn't have buyable XP and they'll more than likely will never get it, and currently there's 14k more people logged in to OSRS than in RS3.

Cut down the time it takes to max even more with buyable XP and we'll have everyone quitting out of boredom when there's nothing to do.

It is not like you can buy 25k hunter exp for 1000 EC, you still have to do something.

The fact we had more player count before was due to there weren't so many different type of games. Now everyone has either smartphone or pc, there is just simply so many games to choose, which you could play. Why should people play emps if they don't like the game system/mechanic?

I don't think maxing is the only goal/thing to do in this game. Why are we playing this game at all? Because we enjoy the process, because we enjoy the result we put effort to. Everyone has their own reason. There is so many features in this game, so that you could come up with a lot of things. On top of that, no one forced you to play emps, right?

Duh, so off topic...

They are the best shield in game.

Well, I don't have those shields so I can't check their stats. However, afaik arcane had the same stats as dfs before (maybe 1 str bonus more or something like that). Elysian spirit shield had same defense bonus as ice shield, but ice shield had more magic strength bonus, now elysian's bonuses are nerfed. How can you say that "They are the best shield in game."?

Divine as the only range shield in game sure is the best lol, it is the only one (shield that gives range attack bonus). Spectral ss is good for its special hp buff.

The only thing I have to add is that KBD really ruins the black dragon spots. I'd love to see it moved.

Yeah, most of the players do their black dragon tasks at barbarian dungeon. There could be e.g. an agility pass-through, or just a simple ladder.

I like the basic of shadowkei's idea: making every mob serving a useful meaning in this game. Basically we need different mobs for different state of our game play progress. Reworking on droptables will do the trick.

Nothing really more that I can add to this, totally agree with Charr. These are the reasons why I haven't tried to get them, because I don't see point of getting arcane or elysian. IMO, they should be somehow special (not only the vengeance effect) and the best shield in game.

TL:DR:

 - Pay to win. People from wealthy countries get an advantage over poor people. Your social status in real life shouldn't determine how fast you can progress in a videogame.

 - Reducing the duration of the currently existing tickets will screw over donators, the lifeline of the game, because the tickets that can currently be donated for are the exact same items as the tickets that were available from the EP store.

Mmh, I think this is not a videogame, is it? And I think it is obvious nowadays that those P2P will advance faster than F2P, why would you donate if you won't benefit from it? Donate if you can afford it, don't donate if you can't, simple ain't it? And being a F2P doesn't mean you can't advance fastly in Emps. You can still get maxed and make some decent bank, e.g. me.

And, no need to repeat that second point, it is not really true (some parts). I don't think that many players donated for those scrolls, as it just don't seem to worth it, and if you do donated for dxp scrolls, they must have use it already (e.g. training prayer, which is very fast, 1 scroll is almost enough). You could always use the scroll within the warning time. I am 99% sure, that out of those 8000 scrolls ing, maybe 1% were bought through donating. Who would stack dxp in bank? It just doesn't really make sense.

He spoke about 1 week warning time when there are over 8000 scrolls in game. I don't know about you, but I'd say that there could be a bunch ppl that have over a hundred scrolls. If you play 3 hours a day (which is above average), how the hell are you going to that many scrolls in a week? And why does the duration of those scrolls need to be reduced from 60 minutes to 20 minutes if they're going to stay untradeable anyway. It's not like people who join the game after the change was made will ever be able to acquire those scrolls, so they would still have to buy the new scrolls or donate for them.

As I said, as long as requesting donation back is a banable offense, donors should never be screwed over in any shape or form. Not only would donors get screwed but buyable XP is also a thing that has had an negative impact on so many damn games.

I think that the duration change from 20min to 60min was made when the scrolls were moved from EP to EC (not sure)? So players bought those scrolls for that 20 min dxp, not 60 min, so they don't actually lose anything. And after thinking a bit, I think old scrolls duration can be kept as 60 min since they remain as untradeable. 20 min is fine too, I don't really have opinions on this.

Mmh, mind explain a bit further how would it have negative impact? Just curious.

But the scrolls that were previously rewarded for EP ARE THE EXACT SAME ITEMS as the ones that can CURRENTLY BE DONATED FOR. How will you not screw donators over by diving the DXP duration by 3? I don't see how screwing over people that have donated for DXP in the past will suddenly make donating more appealing? It doesn't.

Well, why they donated for those scrolls (after update)? Obviously, they need them and will of course use it. As magecrune mentioned somewhere, making an announcement for the change before the change gives those people enough time to use theirs scrolls before the change is being adapted.

After the scrolls are tradeable, donating for dxp scrolls sure is appealing, since there is player who would like to save some money on training expensive skills (prayer, smithing etc.). Where is demand, there will be supply (lol, I don't know how to say it properly).

I totally agree with magecrune's (original was reporter007's) idea, everything is rather well explained, nothing seems to be wrong. I don't see why you are against this suggestion.

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Herb Farming

« on: January 18, 2017, 07:47:56 pm »

Would this be one of those nuisances sinks like the 1k money sink when decanting potions that does nothing or an actual sink? Tbh, I don't think stakers would care either way because they have the largest portion of all the money in the game.

True, this feature isn't a good money sink. E.G. Paying 10k * 3 = 30k per a farm round is not much at all, especially when many players are not farming constantly (after they have achieved 99 farming). If the payment would be raised (let's say to 30k per once or something else), it is not worth at all, most players would rather bank them. Farming is easy enough now, why making it more easier? You can always take 2 lvl 3 acc with you and trade the herbs to them if you feel that it is too hard/taking too much time for you to run back and forward.
