Updates - August 7th 2016 - Ancient Caves
« on: August 02, 2016, 05:10:58 am »
Hey guys,

Ancient Cave
It's finally there, our brand new dungeon with new and unique items. The dungeon's entrance is located at the western coast of Rimmington.

You'll be able to obtain 6 new items, all requiring level 80 in at least one combat skill. You'll find a set of new and uniquely combined stats with these new items. The requirement to enter the ancient caves is level 30 Agility and membership. Good luck on your killing trips!

Bosses and NPCs
I'm still not pleased with the current state of emps' bosses and other npcs. Due to the changes of the protection prayers, some bosses are still really strong. I'm therefore decreasing NPC's overall accuracy values to make higher level armours more valuable. I definitely want high level armours to be strong and good in PvM situations.

Dropped Items
Items dropped by players, monsters, etc. are now shown for a maximum of 2 minutes. When a player drops an item somewhere, it's shown privately for 1 minute and another minute publicly. The change was made to reduce the amount of junk that's constantly dropped in populated areas and to reduce the time a player has to retrieve back lost items upon a death.

Other changes and bugfixes:
  • Spectral's combat accuracy nerfed.
  • Tormented demon's accuracy and max hits nerfed by a bit.
  • A bug was fixed where protection from magic didn't decrease the maxhit in PvP scenarios.
  • A bug was fixed where all agility tasks were shown as Karamja arena rounds.
  • God bow's attack speed increased by 1 tick. They were just out-classing upgraded elemental bows completely. God bows can fire special arrows and have a higher attack range than upgraded elemental bows. To cope with their nerf, I've increased their accuracy bonus from 92 to 107.
  • Freezing immunity timer increased from 1.5 to 2 seconds. The freezing immunity timer is activated after your freezing period ends. It makes you immune to any kind of freezing spells for its duration.
  • Dragon droptables updated. They're now all consistently dropping their corresponding dragonhide armour.
  • Cannonballs can now be smithed from steel bars. One bar results in 4 cannonballs.
  • Duradal now assigns Ancient gladiators, Abyssal watchers and Ice demons.

All the best,
Thomy

all you need to do is remove GA from EP shop and add them to EC shop. 1 donation = 3 GAs.

Then items will get out of the game for sure :)


EDIT: Maybe the increased crystal drop rate was abit too high.. So many of them are in the game that nobody is buying any. Maybe you could tweak crystals abit that they always the crystal will be lost when the weapon degrades and that it lasts longer when used against npcs.

PvP: 3 hits "used" per attack
PvM: 1 hit "used" per attack

At the moment crystals are only used for elemental whips which are only used in duel arena or high risk fights in wilderness. Elemental staff and bow have no use at all.

That's the current situation...? The EC shop sells GA tickets for 200EC each.

How do you get into this dungeon? Same way as on runescape by jumping into the whirlpool at Barbarian Outpost?

Sorry, forgot to add that. "The dungeon's entrance is located at the western coast of Rimmington."

But god bows were already shit ???

You need to make elemental weaponry much less expensive to use, they're simply not worth using.

When losing a GA ticket should be a minimum  time untill you can use onther one, which can be usefull for the dropped items update.

Good job Thomy, thanks for the update.

Thanks guys! We might still tweak minor things of the new items. Giving them a little bit or less strength / accuracy bonuses. Gotta make sure they fit into everything and don't kill old content. :)
