Hello chums,
If you use our clan chat you might of heard me moaning about a certain skill in our lovely game. The majority of you agree with me I'm sure in that it's possibly one of the most flawed skills we've seen to date. Those that do not agree are wrong and jealous.
Most threads are made for discussion and that's fine. But so I'm clear this isn't up for debate. This skill is crap. Over the weeks i plan to post evidence of this skill being ******* just cause it's more fun than actually trying to train it. And i have tried and just trying to find a group is possibly one of the hardest challenges in that game ever. Forget killing bosses or pking or grinding out 99 rcing.
SO. Why this skill is crap the evidence we have:
Point 1)
I need say no more than this. Go ahead. Click the link and look around. These...for lack of a better word retards are what make up the majority of this game. These are the tools i have to work with in order to achieve a level in this crap skill. They've got the attention of a goldfish and an
orangutan would do a better job running a dungeon with me than them.
Point 2)Finding a party. This in itself is flawed. What the **** am i supposed to do with
this mess? Trying to find a group is a pain in the ****. Give me matchmaking. Something. Anything. And record how often they quit the **** team so you can then match them up with other quitters.
3) Low levels. Theres no restriction on who can and cannot join a party. Other well known mmo's that have these raid type dungeons wont let you run said dungeons without certain requirements or levels. I'm not an elitist but as a level 129 I've got no interest in teaming up with a level 80 odd. Nothing against level 80s but you bring nothing to the table. I like to think I'm a fairly all round character. I can tank the monsters and hit fairly high. 9/10 times i bring some skill to the table that no one else has as well. I've got no interest in a level 80 who has skills but is going to spend the entire dungeon mining bloody rocks while we do all the work.
This is out of my control however cause i can't see who else is in the party very easily. And usually the
alternative is worse. I'm nitpicking a bit on this one cause you can see whos in your party it's just annoying to do and you have little say in who the party leader allows in anyway.
4) Retarded skill checks. Several times we've run a dungeon only to come across a door nobody in the group can open. This is just the most idiotic game design I've ever come across. You nerf me exp wise because i don't have a level that i couldn't possible predict I'd have needed because it's randomly generated? If i can pot to the level fair enough but on many occasions that's not even possible. Actually saying that potting to the level is **** annoying as well. Learn the difference between CHEAP and difficult.
5) Retardedly cheap bosses. I'm using the word retarded a lot. Perhaps that's a better word for this skill than crap. Certain bosses will hit you so high and fast that it's impossible to heal through it. Again CHEAP does not equal difficult.
Then theres other joys with the bosses like this
chap. Me and a mate was speed running through some low level floors on f2p (cause the monsters levels are lower) so keep in mind I'm a level 129 and hes 134 we shouldn't have any issues just walking through these floors on complex 1 size 1 or whatever. But this guy killed us both. Twice.
Not because hes a hard boss. But because hes cheap. He smashed down the rocks and we couldn't get near him. And he refused to remove them. It was a speed run so deaths hardly mattered it was the fact i couldn't physically do ANYTHING about it. This is a common theme with dungeoneering bosses. There cheap and buggy. Add to the retarded boss fights the retarded players and you get mass retardation. The amount of times these idiots have teleported out of a boss fight and sat outside the room letting me soak up the damage because they ran out of food. So i can die over and over so you don't have to? **** off. AGAIN nothing against low levels but your usually the culprits.
6) Lag. Every time someone opens up a door you get a second or two lag. If you run out a room you still get hit with mage/range attacks. When you switch on your prayer even though it's clearly showing above your head you still get hit because theres a lag delay. This is **** cheap as **** and has got me killed in the past. It's not acceptable and it's unbelivable that they've not fixed this ****.
7) Soloing is ****. Seriously. This is an MMO. Theres two things you should expect from an MMO. One is lots of people. Check. Two is freedom. Freedom to choose what i want to do, where i want to go. Yada yada.
I can't solo dungeoneering. I tried. My usual 30-40k exp got me 3k or so exp instead on my own. **** that *******. I get why you put it in. But don't FORCE me to **** team up with these idiots just to get any sort of decent exp. It's ******* i'm not a **** babysitter i shouldn't have to deal with these idiots just to progress in your game. Give me a viable CHOICE.
I can go on and on. And on. And on. You said that this skill was supposed to be part of your new game (now canceled) i can see why you binned it. What i don't get is why you put it in runescape. It clearly has issues and you've made no attempt in the year it's been out to fix them.
A few things cause I've heard the same tired arguments off people that know nothing so I'm saving time;
First I'm 22 years old. That means a few things. One of them is i generally don't know many people irl who play rs. Those that do lead busy lives and finding a time when we're all free and all up for dungeoneering is a rarity and not a viable option.
Secondly yes i can solo it and get to level 120. Technically. But technically i can get 99 woodcutting on normal trees. I'm not about to do that because it's not a viable option.
Going back to me being 22 means i have other things to do. I don't lead the busiest life ever but i can't sit up till stupid o clock waiting for online friends from across the sea to get on to do some dungeoneering. Which cuts down my ability to group up with online friends as well. So the very best solution is to find randoms. And if Jagex bothered to fix there **** skill or make soloing viable this thread wouldn't exist.
Feel free to agree with me and post your own hatred for this awful skill. I want 50 pages then I'll print this off, wrap it around a brick and toss it through there window. Love you all.
To set this topic straight this isn't a "what do we think of Creepy" topic it's a dungeoneering topic. So lets move on from me as I don't personally care.
