RuneScape gets a graphical update :o

[Ellie]

They can only deal with one thing at a time though.

The main arguments against it have been the graphics and the gameplay. The graphics, they are improving. The gameplay will come, quite probably. I mean... members, gameplay is a lot better, with way more variety and stuff. It's not just about burning x amount of logs; it's about strategy and so on, for example getting the Fire Cape (beating the Tzhaar Fight Caves) actually involves thinking and careful moves, and so on.

I think the game really is what you make of it. If it's boring and repetitive, it's because you think it is, and so you don't branch out and try other things.

If they can only deal with one thing at a time (I think it's unrealistic to assume they have that restriction,) then they chose the wrong problem to address first.

 

[Verdeni]

Haha, i have to tell my brother! xD

They can only deal with one thing at a time though.

Then they should deal with making the game not suck donkey dick first, then focus on graphics.

 

[kire]

It's funny how people are like sheep. One person hates RuneScape; they all hate RuneScape. My friend at school said he likes the new graphics, but he's not gonna tell anyone because RuneScape isn't cool any more. Lulz.

(...)

Anyway, these are all subjective.

Bad, wailing and shitty service

I have had to contact Jagex numerous times, and they've always been polite and helpful. Never had a problem with them.

Their game's shitty

Again, subjective. I like the game, though you obviously don't...

They didn't let the girls wear shorts, but instead short shorts!

What... the... falafel?

I agree with you.
I used to play runescape until I got GW ( yeah I think GW is better but runescape never gived me any problem) and even if the graphics were fucked up the game was easy to understand and to, really, play.

And like someone said: "The game is good for about 1 or 2 years"

I like the new graphics and for everyone that is saying that the graphics are shitty, make some better or if you can't stop complaining

I used to play Runescape a lot, but that was when I was 12. I actually started to play it because of those little kids in the internet cafes and almost all my friends played it so I gave it ago. Once I hit 14 I thought it was total crap >_>

And even with this graphical upgrade it can't get my attention again XD

When I was a lot younger, playing on the first version of Runescape, I got bored pretty quick. The Wilderness was pretty good though.

I had a look at it the other day, and they've completely removed playerkilling. Why go into the wilderness then? Most things you have to pay for. The battling requires no thought, and the game lags like fuck with annoying people shouting "FREE RS MONEY IN MIL GO TO BLAHDEEBLAH.COM".

The gameplay sucks, the users mostly suck, and no amount of kicking up those graphics will make me want to play it ever again.

I had a look at it the other day, and they've completely removed playerkilling.

Again, if they didn't the game would have fucking died completely.

Why go into the wilderness then?

Fighting green dragons
Fighting red dragons
Fighting greater demons
Wilderness Mage Arena
Wildy agility course
Using the Abyss
Crafting chaos runes
Teaming the King Black Dragon
Fighting black dragons
Mining for ores, including Runite (one of the few spots in the game)
Fighting revenants (yes, some people train on them)
Fighting skeletons (low lvl training, good here)
Bounty hunter (PvP)
Fist of Guthix (PvP)
Clan Wars (PvP)
Farming white berries
Farming nature runes
Getting ghostly robes
Completing level 3 clue scrolls
Fighting fire giants

The list is endless.

If only all the kids who played runescape had been a little older and just played Morrowind, there wouldn't be anyone playing runescape.

 

[Ellie]

I used to play morrowind, but it was just so... boring. The graphics were impressive at the time, sure, but it just didn't sort of... make me want to play much.

 

[candle]

Same with me.  I have had it for over two years, yet have on logged 3 hours or so.  I also hate the leveling system on morrowind

 

[syphonmax]

Yeah Morrowind was great and if you guys don't mind answering. What the fuck does "you're under enjambment" mean, it ruined the friggin game for me every time I got the damn message my character can't move O_O

 

[Erichermit]

Heh Wyatt, I must say I'm completely stunned to find anyone else out here who would actually appreciate Runescape.

I know Runescape can be boring and repetitive at times, which is why you simply go do SOMETHING ELSE. I play a lot of runescape, but damned if I'll fish nonstop for a whole day (unless I feel like doing it while I work on my rpgmaker game or play someone elses.)

I'll go do what I want whenever I feel like, and yes, I have fun. Why? Because the game does offer a large variety of things for you to do. This is why their skill "Slayer" is my favorite. The person asks you to kill about 50-200 of a certain monster, then you get a new task for a different monster, and it's random. Generally I find different ways to kill the different ones and it prevents monotony from setting in.

Most people view Runescape from the F2P perspective, which is all they've played. And I have to admit, f2p is terrible. If I lost my Runescape membership and was stuck there, Hell, I'd quit faster than lightning. It is severely limited and the f2p community is filled with little kids. P2p is better for the most part, which is why I enjoy it, especially since when youre a relatively high level like me (120), you tend to do high-level things. And you don't meet many twelve year olds while doing that. You meet people your age (18) and such.

This isn't to say I don't understand why you all Runescape so much. I can see exactly why. I know Runescape has bad graphics compared to other games. I know It's got a very repetitive gameplay style. A lot of the community is filled with idiots.

But all that aside, I don't really care. There's still something greatly enjoyable about this game to me, so I'm going to keep on playing.

Also, so this post isn't totally off-topic, I'm quite excited to see those new graphics in action.

 

[Prexus]

Yeah Morrowind was great and if you guys don't mind answering. What the fuck does "you're under enjambment" mean, it ruined the friggin game for me every time I got the damn message my character can't move O_O

are you sure it didn't say "you're over encumbered" meaning you are holding way too much shit than you can carry?

The thing about the people throwing bricks at Jagex was proven false, it was taken out of context. The people there are actually using it as an example or theoretical situation or a joke or something. I can't exactly remember what it REALLY is, but nobody actually threw bricks at the window.

The thing about Maarten is very sad but, I may be missing the point, if anyone believes that he his committing suicide BECAUSE he lost 11mil on runescape, they're mistaken. He didn't care about the money, he cared about what appears to be his only friend (and a real life friend at that) who betrayed him. Runescape isn't what drove him to suicide.

 

[Dann Woolf]

If I ruled the world, I'd make a law saying if you play RuneScape for x amount of time, you lose the right to procreate and get castrated with a rusty spoon.

Two generations later, the international average IQ would fuckin' skyrocket.

 

[Ellie]

Fuck you.



[Post editted for Internet failurez]


Anyway. Someone hung themself over RS? Maybe, but there must have been other factors. Like that guy who killed someone over a sword in an MMO (can't remember which) - he must have had a pretty screwed up mind to begin with.

And what does someone throwing a brick through a window prove? That a person doesn't like RuneScape? I think we've already established that people don't like RuneScape.

Posting dramatic posts out of context and without all the facts doesn't prove anything.

And what does that have to do with "do you like the new graphical updates in RuneScape?"

 

[Erichermit]

Well Wyatt, unfortunate as it is, the thing about Runescape is that it's impossible to have any kind of discussion about it on a non-runescape fan forum without instantly being flamed and the game going off on a tangent as the many who abhor runescape feel the need to, not simply just NOT PLAY THE GAME, but try their very hardest to put down every single person who finds it enjoyable.

I know that once those new graphics come out, I'm going to try and explore all my favorite areas again to see how they look. I wonder if it'll make the fight caves any easier (maybe jad will be easier to estimate his movements?), I recently died and lost my fire cape and am thinking about regaining it soon.

 

[Dann Woolf]

Fuck you.

Awww, I love you too.
