Hi everybody I'm Patrick
My personal statement that i posted on RS forums about this update:

"One of the things we realised from play-testing our game was that new players hit quite a lot of zeros while training combat, and zeros are boring." - New Developer Blog from Jagex

Zeros are boring? Really? You made the update for pure LOOKS? You think the runescape community is full of self-centered people who care about nothing but LOOKS? I'm sorry Jagex, but that is not the case. Anyone who knows proper ethics knows that its what counts on the inside, not the outside. And much less in A GAME... You really think this update was worth the trouble? Just to try and make the game look cooler with higher hits? I'm sorry again Jagex, but this makes everyone at your studio SELF-CENTERED, HYPOCRITICAL, AND GIVING IN TO THE DUMB PLAYERS.

I REPEAT: THE PEOPLE AT JAGEX ARE SELF-CENTERED, HYPOCRITICAL, AND GIVING IN TO THE DUMB PLAYERS.

I did not repeat that statement for nothing.

-My post on RS forums

Tell me what you think of what i said.

0's are boring eh? so hitting 300 the next hit makes up for it?

hitting anything 200+ just looks childish.

unneeded update, just so that new players can hit more than 1? so now they can hit 10 and feel better about themselves? thats why you level up, to hit higher.

Equally, when a new player was hit by a monster, they only had 10 hitpoints to absorb that hit. The minimum damage we can do to that player is 1, which was 10% of their total hitpoints - a hit too big for someone learning the game.


so now they have 100, and can get hit 10? still 10% of their hp?

The term 'hit points' is a term associated with typical pen-and-paper roleplaying games. Traditionally, it’s a mechanic that allows a player to track how many hits they can take before they die. When we realised that our hitpoints mechanic needed to be changed, we didn’t want to confuse our players by using the same term to describe something else, so decided to remove the old term completely.


what? i was never confused when i started as to what hit points was, but Constitution, NOW thats confusing.

They only did it so that people can hit higher which makes newer players more likely to become member, they say 0's look stupid and are very boring, well hitting regular large 3-digit numbers isn't exactly good looking now is it? I mean they are quite large and quite a bit of an eyesore...

Another thing I noticed with the log-in lobby was that they have pretty much shoved 5 links to become a member into it, everywhere you look on that page there is a big "Become a Member" sign on it...

There is only one cause to this pathetic update, lust for money.

This honestly feels more like other online games similar to RS. Which i really don't mind.

Decent update overall. Chill your nuts guys and the 2 females who read these forums. ;)

jagex can go lick mod lilys v for the rest of their "lives" if they keep on making shit updates copying other games
trying to get new players to stick with the game is 1 thing but clogging the login page with become a member isn't 1 way. On top of that how the fuck are they gonna know where to log in anyways :P
might be trying to make cash for big ticket thing but if they dont invite soso then thats a waste
they proly made 40k yt accs so noobshow would pass soso
also if you have big 4 digit #s it removes the solid feeling of hitting an 80+ hit, let alone a 3 digit hit
jagex needs to man up and dick out with these next few updates (not sure what to say for girls here sorry ;) ) bitch up and boobs out? XD

And who cares if its a ripoff, its like saying every MMO is a ripoff because they have similar things like this update, somone would list 100+ mmos that have the same mechanic if they bothered.

cause jagex is the last to do it and they are also copying the name
runescape is realy proly the last mmo people are gonna play these days ;) you almost sound like me XD
jagex proly doesnt think a few of its users/old users play Requiem or also play WoW

EDIT: Isnt Constitotion (Hope thats the correct pronouciation) a stat commonly used in RPGs?
Just because is like that on other mmo's it doesn't mean it should be like that on runescape, the runescape I used to know was original because of a pretty unique and still simple game mechanic, probably one of the closest to the first rpg's that eventually turned into mmorpg's. The answer for this is simple, Jagex is running out of ideas.
In fact, runescape was probably the only mmo left with a low rate hp mechanic (1-99), until this date.
On a second thought considering the last thing I just said, I'm not quite sure if I like this update anymore, seeing that runescape is starting to lose all the characterstics that used to make it a unique mmo, and just ripping off mechanics from other games shielding with the typical excuse of "hey', most mmo's have a similar thing".
I'm guessing that the next thing will be put combat skills as stats that can be boosted, including the "new" Constitution, or why not, let's put shorkeys on runescape and maybe make it an WASD game -.-

This couldn't be more truth, is like they ignore the fact that people also play other games, this kind of behaviour insults my intelligence. I swear if any of you go to play requiem, you would go nuts with all the similarities you'll find with runescape that jagex ripped off.
