Agreed, fully and completely! Cool Although you underestimated one point. The defense level will make less difference than the armor. For example, having 60 def and full dragon will net you better defense than 99 and no armor (MUCH).

dragon sucks its so suckish noone wearing it.

Dude, defense it CRITICAL, you cannot survive without it!

Try killing a guy with 99 defense, and he has no armor, good luck buddy, it's going to take a while.

Stephanie, pay no attention to Gabbe, he has no clue what he's saying.

hitting 30s with eese

30's??? 30's??? Dude, you obviously haven't played for a while, have you? They changed the HP. Renamed it some lame nonsense name and multiplied it by 10. 30 now is equal to 3 before... Besides, 60 attack isn't good enough for a god sword or whip.

Also, pures DON'T make so much money. In fact, it's much harder to make money because you can't kill anything without a lot of skill or pure luck. Try killing mith dragons (in my opinion, one of the hardest normal foes in RS, not counting one-of-a-kinds like the KQ or KBD) at 1 defense. Getting the dragon full helm would be quite nasty there.... 

You don`t really think pures are ment to take on lvl 99 defenses do you?

This is wath pures are ment for:




Show me one of your backup claims for that a lvl 70 pure/hybrid would loose against a lvl 70 alltrainer?

I've played a couple MMOs in my day.  I think the first one I tried was Martial Heroes, but I couldn't really get that into it.  It's basically like any generic MMO, and set in ancient China.

Then I played Eudemons Online for a while, which is kinda like a cross between Diablo and Pokemon (hard to imagine, but if you played it you'd get what I mean).  I got pretty frustrated with how the PvP system works, in that somebody one or two levels higher can kill you in one hit, made even worse by the fact that paying players had such a huge advantage that free gamers like me stood no chance in PvP and everywhere except the starting map and the insides of towns are freely open to PK (without warning, too, so you tend to get ambushed).  Plus, there's a serious lack of quests and the game is in perpetual beta.  Apparently development has been abandoned in favor of a newer project, which is really just the same game with a futuristic spin on it.  The only really fun part of this game was raising and training your pet monsters.

I tried Talisman Online for a little while, but I couldn't really get that into that one either.  One of my friends got me to play Runes of Magic with her a couple times, but once again it just didn't draw me in.

Atlantica Online has been my only MMO for a couple years now, and I play off-and-on.  I like that there are a ton of quests, so it's not all that grind-heavy, and the cooperation is so much better than in the other games I've played.  There are always people wanting to form parties or inviting you to guilds, and playing with other people is always more fun than playing alone.  Additionally, the combat system is dramatically different (and better) than the other games, kind of Final Fantasy style.  Instead of managing one character, you manage a group of up to nine (you start with about four and then get more as time goes by), and you can swap them out for new and better ones as you gain levels and complete quests.  In this way, you can customize your group to extraordinary level (Want a group of nine spearmen?  Not a good idea, but you can sure do it if you want!).  The combat itself is turn-based but there's a 30-second time limit on each turn, so that keeps it moving fast.  There are also PvP tournaments several times a day, where you're matched against players of a similar skill level (based on win-loss record).  Paying players do have a pretty big advantage, but not enough to spoil the game, and you can beat players with higher levels and better equipment if you're good/lucky.  Also, the auto-move and teleportation features make travel so much easier, especially since the world is really quite big.  I've never tried running from Angkor Wat to Alcatraz, but I'm guessing it would most of an hour if you didn't teleport.  The market system is the best I've experienced, and is driven by supply and demand because you put your items up for sale and you only receive money if/when another player buys it.  The crafting system is quite nice, too.  Basically, Atlantica is the only online game I've played that got just about everything right.

Add this to the report games topic!

Dude, that guy isn't showing the part where he gets his butt kicked by a guy with defense, he's hitting newbies.

I have 630 health, that guy couldn't kill me so fast, besides, when I was a member I could hit 17's, and now I'm a lot stronger, but I don't have my cool member weapons.

You also have to notice that the guy has an awesome weapon, without that weapon he would do half the damage.

I've killed pures in the arena, they say I have 80 str, and 60 att, and I have 62 att, 62 str, and 61def, his @$$ is kicked!
The guy could really deal some damage, but I could stop most of it, and deal quite a bit of damage myself.

[Gabbe]

The point is, you have to gimme evidence, my theory is true, and since im a 90+ pures don`t bother me, except for those stupid rangers

and that guy was htting people with atleast 40 defence, look how he owned them, and having a low cb lvl helps you, not opposite...

just cause your saying that you owned him, i can say, "i owned zezima in one hit, cool?"

You also have to notice that the guy has an awesome weapon, without that weapon he would do half the damage.

Lol, a dragon dagger 50k, and a karils c,bow ? no way thats expensive, and weapons is a part of the combat, a good weapon is always handy...

Without the wep he wouldn`t be able to pk, same as you...

when I was a member I could hit 17's

Strenght level at the time? Weapon? and im sure it was on a stupid NPC

I can calculate if this is true...

that guy isn't showing the part where he gets his butt kicked by a guy with defense

All with defence is safers, and all in pvp hate safers, with defence it is almost impossible to win a pvp-match, due to your defence being high, your attack stast will be low, sorry, but if you don`t understand that i must assume your a noob...
A sec and i can upload a video me owning with my pure...

[Gabbe]

A Combat pure is an account  which is created primarily for the purpose of efficient combat. Combat pures often train specific combat skills, while deliberately keeping other combat skills at a minimum in order to excel in certain aspects of combat at a comparatively low combat level. The term "pure" standing alone most commonly refers to this kind of combat pure. Combat pures fall into four categories, depending on the combat classes used: warriors, mages, rangers, and hybrids.

Combat pures focus on training certain skills that they hold most relevant for successful combat and are usually made for player killing (PKing). The purpose of keeping an account "pure", i.e. refraining from training combat skills which are considered less effective or irrelevant for the concept of the account, is to keep the combat level as low as possible in order to excel against players of a similar combat level in PvP. Combat pures tend to generally neglect non-combat skills, although many will train a money making skill such as Woodcutting to be able to buy equipment or to meet quest requirements for a combat-related reward such as Ancient Magicks.
Combat pures are most commonly offence-orientated with high values in one or two offensive skills (Attack, Strength, Ranged and Magic), while having only minimal values in defensive skills, such as Defence, Prayer and/or Constitution. Such pures rely on a fast damage rate and/or a high max hit for quick kills, often catching their opponents off guard.

Why pures own. period.

[Omega]

True, pures do well in PVP combat, but in EVERYTHING else, what Runescape was REALLY made for (would they have a ton of skills if everyone trained only combat?) was balanced players, which make up the vast majority of players.

It seems to me that you are focusing only on PVP combat (which by the way, should NEVER be attempted by a new player) rather than the whole of what RS has to offer.

[Gabbe]

i would try to stay pure as logn as possible, but of course, quests fun, pvp is the core...

I would be happy to see how many customers jagex lost when they removed pk system lol

Too bad, NASA...   At least this time it was a balloon... sucks for the people who invested their time and who made it...     Reminds me of the other crashes...but at least this one is not so severe...  

[Gabbe]

What does a "douchebag" or "douche" mean?

That's true. Remember the challenger? (I think that was the name). 

What does a "douchebag" or "douche" mean?

It's an insult meaning your an idiot or the like. Just know that it means someone flamed you.

[Gabbe]

cause when i win at mw2 i get called a douche or douchebag in the lobby...

Bad losers. Just ignore em.

[ultifd]

Yeah, unfortunate.   RIP People...

Insults...that is what I hate about online games   

[John.d.h]

A douche is a device for cleaning body cavities, usually referring to the vagina... so basically they're calling you a vagina cleaner.  A lot of people use it as an insult.  Go figure.

OK, One of our moderators is a __________ ...    Also, he is only ___ years old... 
Joking, 
Does runescape filter this out? 

[-Archmage-]

Fill in the blanks, will you, I don't want to have to guess Arch's age.

[Gabbe]

Runescape filters almost everything, it is so stupid...

Sometimes when i try to explain things to people in norwegian server, half my sentence is deleted with *s and it is so annoying because then i have to explain ONE word with THREE sentences, and maybe he does not undertsand it, and i have to try explain it even with longer more complex sentences or even with less complexity and then i have toi use a ton of word making it more sentences and then MAYBE he/she understands it!

Game filters are stupid..

[ultifd]

Yeah, well, the good thing about game filters, is that it saves things from getting "ugly"... 
I mean, some games don't  ::)have filters, and it is kinda...uh...bad. 

I've been trying out runescape yesterday, it was ok...

FAIL, you should write like this:

Well...no.

Why not?

For once I agree with Gabbe.


Great news, got my new laptop at last.

HP Pavilion
17.3" screen
1600x900 resolution
4GB DDR3 RAM
500 GB HDD
Blu-Ray Disc Drive w/ SuperMulti Burner
1GB ATI HD Graphics Card
Full 101 Key Keyboard
Windows 7 64 Bit
Intel Duo Core Processor (2.23GHz)

Insanely nice, very large laptop that makes me feel like a kid again!!! Very good deal for its price of $1000 (with taxes and environmental fees). The processor isn't the best, but its way better than my 1.87GHz last one and good enough for me. I'd like to update to an i5 or i7 sometime. Anyone know much about how that works?

[Gabbe]

oh god, were can i get one? if i don`t mess up with the currency, thats 60000NOK

Updating laptops can be difficulty sometimes..

I would go for a i5 if you game, but go i7 if you play 5 games at once...

That was a very good laptop for the price, you made yourself a deal...(I mean not sell it to me, you made a good choice like)
