Hitpoints -> LifePoints = Constitution Skill?

To me it looks like a World of Shitcraft imitation. It serves no purpose in the game except now we can add larger numbers up to find out our DClaw maxes (as if it wasn't hard enough to speed-add). If anyone can give me 1 legit reason as to what this fixes in the game I'll buy them a hooker IRL.

 

D claw gonna be scary numbers lol, 370-220-190-380? Dead...

 

Are these bigger numbers just put into place to entertain the simple-minded noobs? lol

 

No, it's to make the hits more accurate, like before if it was, 26.8, it'd be rounded down to 26, but now it'd be more accurate and be displayed as 268.

 

Did anyone here lose sleep at night wondering if they still had .2 HP left?

/edit: thats a general question to anyone reading this.

 

hating on a better game doesnt make u cool

 

Haha, you came to argue about WoW? Gtfo the RuneScape section, and stay on topic please.

 

umm, i'm happy with it. now instead of hitting 0s i have a 9x more chance to hit a number if it was going to be a 0.

honestly so many people are crying about this update.. i agree with "dont fix whats not broken" but what i just said shows it was broken a little bit.

and it's not a big deal at all.. just get used to it.

 

This game is too easy already.

 

So you'd rather hit a 10 and feel better about your pixels than to hit a 1?

Your brain actually tricks you into forgetting that 10 still = 1?

 

They have an article explaining why they made the change, if anyone bothered to read it.

Yea. We read it. Did you read the first post where I linked to the same thing? Guess not.

The main question I've had for YEARS is "if jagex says you must be 13 years old or older to play" why the hell do they keep putting hand-holding updates into the game to help new players. Its really not that hard unless you're mentally retarded, in which case you shouldnt be left alone on the internet anyways. I know 13 year olds who do drugs and shoot up the block. Honestly, I've LOL'd @ just about every update jagex has put into the game for "new players" or "beginners". I personally believe they should tag their update threads with [For Dumbasses] or [Retard Update #x]. That way I dont have to waste 10 minutes of my life reading their about their failed pixel experiments. It should all be optional. I want to be able to turn off narb updates with the "Hide Narb Update" switch.

 

This is Stupid!....I seriosuly Hate it , It was fine the way it was.

 

no i would rather hit a 19, then hitting a 1, even when i should of been hitting 19

 

dislike, no need to fix it, if it wasn't broken :/ imo there was nothing wrong with hitting rounded numbers

 

No no no homeboy, you don't fully understand it. You don't hit any better. They just take whatever you DO hit and multiply it by 10.

This update doesnt make you hit the equivalent of a 20 if you really do hit a 20. If you're hitting a 20 after the update, you're really only hitting a 2.

You are still only getting 8 experience for the 20 that you hit.

And even if you hit 1.5 and it moves out to a 15. You only get 4 experience, you wont get 6.

 

and why the hell would you say 'feel better about your pixels' when this is a internet game. i'm supposed to want to 'feel better about my pixels.'

 

So by hitting a 10 you get a warmer, fuzzier feeling inside as opposed to hitting a 1?

/edit: when they equal the same damn thing.

 

This will take a little bit of getting used to, but overall I don't really care. It might make new players more interested in the game, you know how kids these days are with big numbers.

 

LOL exactly. A few posts up I talked about the age limit in RuneScape and how jagex seems to overlook it. Unless english boys are super-immature for their numerical ages?
