It's a meta joke. That meme, much like runescape, is from 2005.

Is plague's end out? Also, what exactly does the exo-skeleton do? I've been eyeballing 91 thieving and am vaguely considering actually grinding out a few hundred thousand XP to bump up from 90.

Magres posted:Is plague's end out? Well, the full set gives you 25% better chance at not getting stunned while pickpocketing and looting urns in pyramid plunder, the gloves gives 5% extra chance of pickpocketing if you have 75 thief and hunter. At 25% less failing it should be a large increase in exp/hr. 30% chance of better pickpocketing, 25% less snakes in PP, if you have Black Ibis parts you can add their effect to the exoskeleton and the full set also gives -8kg weight.

And regarding the dark lord: Isn't Zaros already the "dark" to Seren's "light"? It would make more sense if the dark lord was related to Zamorak somehow, given the history of the quest line.

How Rude posted:Don't spoil it, but is it as bad as Salt in the Wound's pillar? I will say that at least the light puzzles aren't as bad as the ones in the previous quests. Soulhunter posted:I agree, the ending felt.. I guess I would say rushed? And regarding the dark lord: Isn't Zaros already the "dark" to Seren's "light"? It would make more sense if the dark lord was related to Zamorak somehow, given the history of the quest line. The dark lord is 'supposed' to be something about how Seren got a little too fascinated by death. I'm guessing that it's a side effect of the empathy thing. And it seems that Seren didn't quite like this part of her. It could be it reminded her too much of Zaros. I'm not sure how much 'truth' is behind the dark lord saying that he (I'm assuming that the dark lord is a 'he', but drat are the essentially genderless crystal beings kind of hard to tell which pronouns to use) was rejected by Seren, as opposed to being released when Seren split into the crystals as per what the elves say. There seems to be some sort of implied falling out between Seren and Zaros. I'm basing that on Zaros really refusing to talk about Seren, if you try to get more information out of him. Though if the dark lord is Seren developing a part Zaros' traits, I wonder what would it look like in Zaros? Can he even develop like that? Would he realize what was happening and stop it? Whatever Jagex ended up coming up with, there might be something in the elf city release. But I'm not really confident in Jagex having consistent story/elements. Even if this is something that I bullshitted off the top of my head.

Releasing a quest reward months after the actual quest itself, and playing the fact you don't get the reward up multiple times, as if that is a good point? :jagex:

Kgummy posted:You actually fight. So there's that. I think that the Dark Lord is Seren's dark side that she cast away to present herself as a being of light. Seeing as she is Zaros' MtF chick with a dick genderqueer sibling, it makes me wonder if Zaros has a light side hidden away somewhere or inside him. Or if his light side is what we saw during the quest and when he was all "hey lets chitty chatty and save the world and chit chat with Azzanadra" and his horrible dark side is his desire for control and former lack of empathy towards anything in his kingdom. Also the best part: They tied the selfcontained elf series into the Elder God series with Dark Lord. wow But yeah, I guess that a few months before release they realised that Zamorak is already free and fuuuuuck what should we do, another asspull???, aka standard 2010's Jagex quest ends.

After MEP2 and Within the light, PE's light puzzle was a let down. There wasn't actually any puzzle to it, you just direct the light in the only way it can travel. The rest of it was alright though.

Latter half of that had a little of puzzling, but mostly the final one. Way too much mirrors to just decipher correct route.

The last mirror puzzle was the easiest one if you didn't look at the big picture. All you had to do is look for the next fixed mirror and pick the route to it, there wasn't any opportunity to get it wrong and have to backtrack, unless somehow I got extremely lucky and picked the right solution first time by accident.

I can't be blamed if something gets lost in the midst okay?! No need to be up-tidy about it, you know? You could always check my before/after pictures to see if I actually did toss any... it was probably just one or two! On another note, I haven't been able to log into the game in any shape or form for the past few days - browser/client/OSRS all fail for me with 'Error connecting to server' and nothing seems to work. I guess garbage games and garbage laptop wifi don't mix.

I guess you could try uninstalling java entirely, and installing the latest version into a new folder. That's what you had to do with the 'black screen' issue recently. (I noticed someone also had that issue, but I guess they solved it?)

That's weird. The forums keeps telling me there's a new post, but it's not showing up at all. And it's apparently Spergminer asking 'Did you start the new quest?'. Because apparently viewing his post history is the only way to see this message. And I only knew to look at his post history because the forums said he had the last post. I guess it's just remnants of the forum getting broken earlier? Edit: Nope. Apparently me posting this post made it show up. So I'll just find something relevant/useful to add to this post. Spergminer posted:Monkey Madness will never ever get anything but an extremely superficial graphic update. Hell, rumor has it that the piss poor coding is the reason why they're still using the 2004 RS2 monkey model, instead of the newer A) 2008/2012 Summoning/Dealga model, B) 2009 Armies of Gielinor model or the C) 2012 Barrel of monkeys model or even the D) 2014 Cheeky monkey pet Model. Though Jagex would probably only do it if they create a new monkey quest. Or remake the old ones. Kgummy fucked around with this message at 07:37 on Aug 14, 2014 |

That would be a great superpower. Simply posting something makes things fixed. So far, it seems to only effect Runescape and this thread. But hopefully there's more to it than that. Out of curiosity, did Runescape work without you actually having to do anything? Also you posted just before I could get that edit finished.

But yeah, after I read your post, I started up Runescape again having done nothing different and it ran graphics setup and loaded as if never had a cache. Maybe Jagex did some sort of secret fix but it was pretty weird to read your post(s) then suddenly have it/things just start working again.

Kgummy posted:If that's the case, then they should make a 'second' Ape Atoll. Basically recreate it in it's own little area, then when that's done, have it completely rewrite the regular Ape Atoll. If that's even possible. Worst case scenario, they just leave it orphaned in, and move the quests over to the 'new' version. If runescape code is as interconnected as I heard it was, even recreating everything from scratch would take too much effort for no real reason. Either that or nobody wants to touch that mess.

But as it stands right now Jagex can barely keep focus on their grand God storylines, because the players and shareholders wants Elder God stories.

Of course that resulted in funny bugs like the boss apes from Do No Evil having 3000 lp (!) for months after EOC. I know that I like joking about rs being made from code cobbled together with used bubblegum and wishes, but when changing a few numbers can create the Rubber Chicken dance instakilling KQ bug it must be true to some degree.

Don't forget that a lot of the major codebase changes they did around the time of EoC included breaking all the stuff the RSBuddy guy knew was easy for bots to use.

The video 'Road to Elf City - Episode 4' revealed how the divination xp in elf city is gonna work. It's combat. Beat stuff up for div xp (I think?), and you purify drops from shadow monsters, from 'dark cores' to 'light cores'. Which are summoning secondaries for divination familiars. They're made more potions than the design doc has/had as well. None of them were mentioned, just the fact that there are going to be more. Crystal weapons, shields, and such. Multiple tears. Also crystal tools that increase the chance of getting shattered hearts rocks. They showed crystal picks/hatchets, among them. Also the 'catch all the implings barehanded' is apparently a choice between double drops/triple xp. No idea if it's like that summoning minigame, where it's limited time or not. But if you can only do it once, and you can't switch... Jagex. Also 100k hunter xp, and an elf outfit that teleports you to that impling wheat maze Puro Puro place.

Hopefully something nicer-looking than exoskeleton. But I just fell for Ozan pack, so that front is satisfied for now. Any word on the crystal weapon levels?
