[Hidden Update] Drygores/Nex items, DG Necklace nerfed


Jake

2013-04-30 13:04:17


Drygores have had their accuracy slashed in half. (Chaotics are better)

Nex items no longer have a prayer bonus. (Prepare for the market crash)
Fixed

All 3 of the dungeoneering necklaces now give HALF of the prayer points as they used to before today's update.

There will be an update. What's the point of releasing level 90 weapons when they are worse than level 80. Doesn't work.

to be honest though, the 100 points was overkill, when the necklace first came out it was only what… 10 points for the regular bones?

I think you're confused here

Prayer points were only from 0-99 before EOC (no boosts)
Prayer points have been from 0-990 since EOC came out (no boosts)

The necklaces came out 2010, and their effects have been fine since then, until today when jagex decides to halve it. They healed the same amount before and after EOC until today.

Note how its been a year and 5 months since the release of necklace
And its been about 4-5 months since EOC came out

I didn't say 100 was overkill, I said that the changes shouldn't have been made since they were fine before todays update lol

And yes I saw that, people are taking advantage now and trying to sell those for ridiculous prices ;p

Well I sold my drygore longsword for under price… bought it in hopes of making a bit of money.
I'm not going to risk losing money like whey they screwed over spirit shields… lost 70m on them.
Waiting for them to "fix" them, no thx.

Silentcore

2013-04-30 14:52:52

Well I'm more than happy for not having any of these expensive items. I got my chaotics and I should take advantage to kill right now.
Edit: I'm mad cause Jagex had to update just when my bots were running..I was expecting to see some good xp after getting home from school but now I know I'm going to see nothing. Sad.

I personally prefer nerfs for balance rather than buffs. In the shortterm it may be worse (complaints), but in the longterm it's better.

yeah… i dont remember exactly how it worked, but i thought after eoc, they only healed/restored 10 for quite some time. i believe the necklace should be a supplement to prayer potions and not a full out substitution to potions. I really have yet to see how the new update effects stuff though, so maybe its for the better with prayer bonus having more of an effect or something?

No idea. i just play the game, i dont get too much into updates until after all the bugs/imbalances have been worked out.

No idea, but I'd imagine it would just be something to make them above chaotics again.

They should do this long before people are used to them. People will complain either way, why not just let people get used to something for once?

I can confirm what the Nex fix is. Apparently she was spawning multiple times at once for a bit after the patch, which they've now corrected.

I am pretty sure Jagex will make them better than Chaotic so other than the people who panic dump, I don't see anything astronomical happening.

Who here said they weren't getting fixed?..
We're just upset that their updates have gotten to the point where they are this bad and need another in game update to fix the system update..

it was fixed

So just like the past few updates, todays update was once again useless, and goes to show that there is no QA team or anyone who tests the updates before they get released
In other news… The Squeal of Fortune and Solomon's General Store have new items which aren't bugged LOL

If you want something with little change, go 07 ? :P
Jagex can't be perfect

I don't expect perfection, I expect a little less stupid and more common sense? Besides they will ruin that in due time. I'm usually pretty content with changes, but having an update then an update to fix the update is stupid. Waste time and resources and is not effective. If they want to cinque to be in the black they need to trim the mistakes a bit. I don't like when they rush. Like I said, not perfect, just maybe a little more forethought and testing.
