I'd like to use mage more on the server but find it lacking compared to both range and melee. Here are some suggestions to help boost mage use (I hope). Please comment on the validity of each idea: - There should be a right-click autocast option on the spell (autocasting without a staff could be possible) much like (roughly) RS in 2009. I quite liked this. - Autocast options for zuriels staff are not correct - you can't autocast miasmic spells. - Autocast options for staff of the dead aren't right - you can't autocast flames of zamorak (without 'cheating') Personally I think the first point would be the most beneficial to bringing mage back into the spotlight. I'd quite like to be able to pk in edgy with mage (but not nhing). Cheers

What I meant by autocasting is that there would be a right click option over combat spells in the F4 magic tab, one of which (second down?) is autocast. This was a feature in RS2 in around 2009 (ish? correct me if i'm wrong)

Thanks for all the replies. Glad most of you agree. I've yet to test out elemental staff but I'll do that as soon as I find a cheapish one in TP.

Ignore my last one. Literally 2 mins after I posted Ryan fixed it

Great update by the way, but just a quick one: Can something be done about these obby rings? they have ruined edge pking for now. they seem to hit consistent 25s and hit as a melee attack. very strange. any idea what's up with that?

Think this is an important discussion point. It seems as if the retention of new players is at a huge loss (no figures to back this up - I just seem to be seeing a stagnant playerbase. Can anyone confirm?). How can we improve this? Many people bring up the 'let's make Dharok's spawnable' - however this view is highly contested. In essence there needs to be some sort of additional boost for new players in the wild so that they cannot be wrecked by players in maxed armour. Nick (@Nick - does that work?) made a post earlier that suggests that spawnable gear (barrows/whip/torso/fury etc.) are too overpowered for free items. I have to disagree, only because when compared to full primal armour, with a 3rd age bow or blood whip, the players in spawnables don't have a chance. Does anybody have any ideas that would prevent new players from being dissuaded from the game, or in PVP in particular? Cheers, Jimm0

Apologies for late reply, but I've been busy recently. Re. the whole ragging and divine SS issues. I agree that ragging is an issue, but generally you won't get ragged unless warned or similar. I agree that ragging someone with all the max gear incl. divine is relatively easy but ONLY if you have the money for BC sword or z bow or similar. It's important to note at this point that my initial post was about new player retention. New players DO NOT HAVE the money for counter ragging gear, and hence find it particularly difficult to counter. New players also don't have the money to fight someone in max gear using untradeable + autokeep items in order not to risk. If people think that there is no need to increase the amount of spawnable items for new players, how about an alternative of decreasing the amount of autokeep items for rich/advanced players. I think this will help even out the wildy somewhat. Would appreciate your thoughts

Ah ok, thanks for the confirmation. Sure it's nothing too bad then Just didn't wanna get auto-banned for speccing people out

Dragon Hally special can hit twice under certain conditions in PVP. Since I've seen a few RSPS with this same bug/feature, I'm starting to believe it might be normal. Can I use this in the wild or will I be banned for doing so? Do bear in mind it's still worse than, say, an AGS spec. Cheers

Hi all, I just disconnected when splashing at rock crabs around 15 minutes ago and I am now unable to log into my account because it’s still logged in. Can someone please log me out? I don’t want to be gaining xp whilst I sleep (which I’m about to do), as I imagine that would be against the rules too. IGN is the same as this forums name. Thanks in advance

Really think this should happen

I’ve managed to get stuck (again!). I’m on the log balance in the wilderness course. I saw a pker coming for me so logged mid-animation, and upon relogging realised I was stuck. Can anyone teleport me off? Unsure whether this is a bug - should I also post on the report a bug forum? cheers

Brilliant - thanks very much

Brilliant update Ryan - will try out the Easter stuff later today

Ace. Can’t wait. Thanks for letting me know

I think a good addition to the game would be a max hit dummy (or several). These would give no xp when hit but will display your maximum hit in whatever set up you’re using (including prayers and potions etc). Perhaps not with the addition of bonuses that would only work in pvm like slayers helm (but my mind could change on that - what do you all think?) I think these should be located in Edgeville - I imagine they would be mostly used by pkers. Perhaps in the edgeville jail building. Apologies if this has been suggested before. I have seen similar dummies in previous RSPS (and I believe some in OSRS too, but I haven’t played that recently).

How did you find all of those suggestions? Is there a search function or similar? Not new to RSPS’ but am new to these sorts of forums - trying to be more active on this server than on previous ones because I quite like it. Thanks for your response. Perhaps the devs have this lined up already. I can’t imagine it’d be too difficult to add into the game (relatively speaking)

Thanks Kellatha. If you do stumble across the percentage boost that’d be really useful to know.

Hey all, I just read that the blood and tent whips max hits are both limited to 45, when really they would hit much harder in max gear. Does anyone know why this is? I’m assuming mainly so nobody gets 2 hit with them. If so, though, that begs the question why d scim and (I’m assuming) c rapier’s max hits aren’t limited. Furthermore, can anyone confirm whether there is a bonus for obby weapons when wearing any or all obsidian armour pieces? thanks, Jimm0

Thanks for getting back to me. Fair point re. the pures. There seem to be plenty on right now.

Wondering if an autocast feature could be built into this server (other than through the attack style tab). In other servers and on RS at some point there was a right click autocast on the magic tab that would enable players to autocast magic without the use of a staff. Admittedly whilst this is of relatively little use now, seeing as though the majority of pkers are mains, it would massively help pures who (or at least I do) like to mix things up a bit more. Second suggestion is more of a wish for there to be more of an active pure community - with more players pking from low combat levels (50, say?) all the way up to low level zerkers. Personally I find endless main fights slightly repetitive and also much prefer the more fast-paced nature of pure fights. What incentives could there be for this aim? Perhaps an achievement similar to Pure I-IV, or perhaps random daily achievements for pking. What do you guys think? Please let me know, I'm curious to hear your thoughts. PM me in-game if you fancy some obscure pure/low level pking, too. Thanks all

Thanks for the reply, and sorry for late response. Only just noticed this. Must confess I auto to zerk now against pures because I’m sick of being elder - gmauled out for >99hp. Preventing this is key to fun pure pking, I think. Customs are all well and good but result in some ridiculous fights that are far removed from RS- style pking. Are there any mods that could comment on the possibility of auto casting being added? Cheers

Have noticed some graphical glitches that occurred just after 09/03 updates. When redownloading the client post-update the graphical glitches in the image below were there. Notice all the prayers are invisible and the bank items/heal etc. buttons at top right are gone. Same issues occur when trying to enter the trading post screen. Have tried reloading, relogging, redownloading etc. but no obvious solution. Any help? Thanks

Thanks for your input. Glad you support the autocast idea. I do appreciate that any un-eatable specs are annoying - part of that reason is why I was hoping for lower level pure pking. Perhaps d-scim to dds, obby mauls etc. Sub cb70. Also, important to note those daily achievements I mentioned earlier could and should be for both mains, pures, zerkers, rangers, whatever. Like 'today's daily pking achievement is to kill 5 players with a rune crossbow/dlong/halberd

Hi Ryan, Thanks for getting back to me. Have just used the repair tool and it all seems fixed. Cheers
