  1. SIDENOTE:

    Checking the foes currently available in AE, it appears that the Elite PP's are only available as lvl 46-54 and 40-54, which is why we are seeing them as lvl 40. They can't spawn any lower than that.

    So either: PPE are not supposed to be in that TF at all, or their minimum level was raised.

    I'm not sure about that. Some people reported it still worked fine, while several others (including myself) had issues with it.

    For me, using the command by itself worked fine, but when trying to pigtail dialog_yes to it, it crashed me. I have not tested it recently though. I still do it the old fashioned way. It gives me time to check the forums inbetween anyway. lol

    We had grey-conned lvl 40s in our Respec#2 the other day. That TF maxes at lvl 44, but was showing -1 at lvl 43.

    Talk about a snore-fest. lol

  6. Volcanic.. I have found them harder to find once they revamped the Hollows as well, but they are certainly there. I usually make sure I, or a teammate, have some AoEs or pets to make them pop out of the ground. Another thing you can do is Ouro or EX down to the lvl range of the zone so they will pop up and try to go after you. Sometimes, changing your difficulty settings and/or having a team will help you get more bosses to spawn. (I have found 3 to be the "magic number" when it comes to team size for Zone-hunting bosses.)

    This is what the ground looks like before they pop out. It' not guaranteed there will be a Boss there, but this is what to look for:

    Click for larger picture


    Besides that, get some people together and run the Cavern Trial a couple of times. It's a very short and quick trial (speed runs often done in less than 10 mins), but the final (only) room has several of the bosses you need for that badge. Just stick around and clear the room after you finish the mission.

    Venomous.. You are right, RWZ is usually the place people go for these. You can also pick up some missions in Warburg. (The Toxics in Warburg are "Rogue" and don't count, but I believe the ones in mission are the regular ones that count.) Some people also suggest Zone-hunting RV, but PvP areas aren't for everybody.

    Personally, I used to farm the first mission of the STF to get these. It usually only took a couple of runs. You can also pick up the Mu Guardian Gladiator on that mission at the same time as well. There is usually interest in the Badge channels to go after this, so they don't mind resetting a couple of times to get everybody their badges.

    Once Ouro came out, I think the Mender Silos instanced mission in Sirens Call became a good place for Toxics/Mus as well.
  7. Yeah, there were a couple other threads about it after the last patch as well. Even if today's patch was supposed to fix it.. remember.. we were reverted back this afternoon, so there hasn't actually been any recent changes.

    On a side note, I like the lvl 40 PPEs.. it at least makes for SOME challenge with all the -1 TFs we have to run. rofl.

    Probably my favorite thing from Runescape was when someone found a glitch in the map that would let you climb up to the second floor outside the walls. I parked a number of spare accounts up there, and would occasionally amuse myself by having one of them wander around the upper level of Varrock, confusing the newbies and being mysterious. It's too bad they all got moved to Lumbridge with the upgrade to 3D.
    I found several screenshots of the server high score list (that showed #1 player currently on the server, before there were multiple servers).

    I found some screenshots of my characters' banks, back when we used "mules" to carry items we could not fit into our inventory.

    I also found a map of the Player Houses that never opened. rofl

    Another funny thing I found was screenshots from the wedding of M Oldfield and Lady Medusa, which was performed by Paul Gower (brother of Andrew and Ian, who all program the game). It's funny that weddings were later made against the rules because people started giving out personal information. lol
    I was the official photographer of the wedding, and here was the quick site I made to display the pictures:

    Hmm I wonder what's the oldest picture I can find. haha

    BTW, I was just talking to a friend of mine (who is now an in-game mod for that game), and he let me know about a Pricechecker option that tells you how much your items are worth (last traded for or something). The Santa hat is worth over 29M, which is very steep for an item that does nothing. I just killed a Black knight and only got 35gp. lol


    Also.. a far as Highscores...
    I'm still currently top 7,300 in Cooking. Out of Millions of players, I'm doing pretty good for not playing in over 7 years! lol
    I've dropped from #5 to #620,000 Overall Skill Total though. lol

    I remember I played Runescape way back when the Crafter's Guild was members-only, and members didn't have anything west of White Wolf Mountain. I was there when they introduced the thieving skill to members, with an entire town pretty much devoted to grinding away at it, full of people stealing cakes from NPC bakers, getting caught, and attacked by town guards.

    But yeah, despite the improvements RS has made in recent years, I still wouldn't recommend it.
    Yep. I remember for example the chopping wood. They changed it so you only had to click once and it would try 10 times or something automatically. It's a lot better than clicking Use Axe, then click on the Tree every time over and over, but it was still silly for them to make it automatic. What if I only needed/wanted 1 log? It ends up filling my inventory for no reason and/or dropping to the ground.

    Hmmm. Let's see what I remember..
    Crafting Guild and such would have been fairly NEW to me when I stopped playing. I started playing when they added Draynor Manor, and I made my first fortune selling the Oil Can from the basement for 100 gp to anybody who couldn't seem to figure out the order of switches to pull. There was no such thing as a members version back then, and the highest/best armor was a Steel Plate, and the Gold Pieces (or any other stackable item) capped at about 65k (65,535).

Particularly since accounts don't get deleted; hell, the account I created oh-so-many years ago before members had anything west of White Wolf Mountain (when the game was still isometric 2D, rather than true 3D) still exists, and is theoretically playable if I could remember the password (or the email I registered it with)
    Right. My account is still fully intact. 90% of my items just say "Members object" though, and I can't use them. Funny thing though is that I couldn't even play it on my main computer cause I didn't even have Java installed. ROFL!

    I still have an old party hat and Santa hat. They worth anything anymore? They used to be the most expensive thing in the game at one point. Last I saw was like 15 Million or so I think. lol

    Oh yeah, back when I started, the only way you knew what combat lvl you were was to ask somebody else to click on you and tell you (or click on foes to see if they were White, Green, or Red to you). I made a site dedicated to a Combat lvl calculator, which let you input your stats so it would tell you what Combat lvl you were. Most people used it to see what lvl of which skills they would need to get to reach certain Combat lvls and/or to "game" the system by having extremely high Strength, but a low Combat lvl.. so they would be the best in PK (Player-Killing). My site reached 1 million hits on May 09, 2004.

    Also, here is a screenshot of the last day I played seriously (May 27th, 2002). I quit after hitting 1300 skill total (which was #5 overall in the game at the time). I went back a couple of times just messing around with people or friends, but I never stayed long.


    On a side note, it's nice to see they finally expanded the game screen from that little box. A shame so many people got Statwiped (all stats to lvl 1) for using a 3rd party program that did that for you. lol

  14. MB's Respec#2 Team:
    1: PPD Hardsuit
    2: Ultra Leo
    3: Bio-Nuke
    4: Astral Projection
    5: Myrdinn Grey
    6: Siphirus

    Finished in 58:35
    1 death

    The only death was Myrdinn at the entrance to the last mission. He was inflected with DoT from the zombie invasion as he zoned in. lol

    Quick and fun run. Too easy with this -1 stuff though. I want to start running some more "Invincible" stuff! lol
  15. Does this still work?..

    I haven't noticed this. Highlighting a teammate does show me their target, though I have not tried using the /assist command on them anytime in my recollection.

    Edit:
    Just tested and though it does show you their target, but it doesn't let you attack through them. And no, /assist doesn't work. That is certainly interesting... but that just means that /assist is probably a clientside copy of your target's target to your own target, rather than your client searching your screen for the target.

    Targeting is a function of your client, and does not change while in PvP zones. I have used target_custom_next several times while hunting for Blue Ink men for a badge in Siren's Call. Even the standard default TAB is a target command for next enemy, and that certainly works. lol

    As mentioned, you can only differentiate between enemy and friend, but not between NPC and player. The only suggestion I have for the OP would be to use target_custom_next and the name of a specific player you are trying to target. That should work just fine.

There is an issue with the young people playing it because you can play for free, but if you shell out the money there are many fewer paying kids.
    I don't recommend Runescape to anybody. I started back when it was brand new (same server ran the website, forum, and game), and seeing 300 people online was a busy night. I played for a couple years and was a top player (#1 cook, top 5 crafter, and top 5 overall skill total). Then I realized all I was doing was standing in one place all day clicking the same object over and over and over and over, and there were so many other people using "Runebot" to skill their way up without any effort (maybe that's why I don't like doorsitting in CoH). It's not a game, It's a hamster wheel! lol. I just got tired of it and couldn't stand it anymore. Well.. To each his own.

    At least this game you get to move around and do stuff, and there is more of a story and a lot more action. I'm not really saying Runescape is a horrible game... but it's a certain downgrade from CoH.

    Well.. not for nothing, but since those switches kill the ambushes.. there really isn't any use of clicking them before the foes appear anyway. lol

    But you are right.. I don't remember anything in any of the dialog that mentions to click them in any specific order. We know just from doing it a few times and finding it out the hard way. lol

    I've been on (and hosted) several successful Mo- attempts that consisted of one or more Khelds on the team. We've had a Cyst appear on the platform behind the 4 AVs on STF a couple of times. We even had a WS tank GW when ours DC'd. We adjusted and things went fine.

    I don't know how you all run things on Triumph, but as long as people know what they are doing, you should be treated as any other player.

    Nobody disputed that. I was fixing the fact that there were underscores through the entire command string, with no space between the command and the power.

    In fact, the power_name itself could have been listed as Web_Envelope instead, and it would still work just fine... but in the case of powers, the underscore can only replace the spaces, and not be inserted randomly. Either way, you still need to have the space after the command itself.

    I don't remember the rest and/or I haven't claimed them yet.
