Fists of Guthix

The new mini-game Jagex had promised in April's Behind the Scenes had been released! Fists of Guthix was soon flocked with players from all across Runescape, I also made a trip there myself and tried the new game out. The first thing i noticed is, the overcrowding is terrible, and the moment i stepped into the game arena itself, i lagged like hell. Out of the 3 games i played, i lagged out of 2, well this can't be blamed on Jagex, and i am not trying to lol. Maybe I'll try it again when the crowd clears.

On to the pros and cons of this mini-game. I liked the general concept of the game, running from your predator and getting those charges for the prey, and hunting down that little player that keeps hiding from you for the predator. Another thing that is good about the game is that it is very simple, and easy to understand. Free rune were also given for mages who cant afford to pay for those runes for a mini-game that does not yield great returns. It being "safe" also allows us to bring all our best equipment and be able to put up our best fight.



On the other hand, the overcrowding situation is kinda discouraging, and with so many players around, it is increasingly difficult to locate your prey. Its not the part about not being to find your prey that is irritating, if that happens to everyone, it becomes a competition purely on who can get more charges in the given time, the " you are able to kill your prey " element would no longer exist. And that, might be a little boring in the long run if all you do is walk around aimlessly during your turn to be the hunter because you know full well that locating your prey is more difficult than getting killed by a flower pot that was thrown off a building on Friday the 13th, year 2313. And when you are the prey, just run and dd on others and collect charges while your predator wander around looking for you to no avail.



Some tips i found through my 3 games of playing. To give me an advantage, i normally add my opponent to my friends list, and in the event that the poor guy forgets/ did not change his p chat to "friends" , I'll be able to see that green dot running around, making it easier for me to track him down. I also found that dhide seems to give a better defense from those magical attacks you are hit with while collecting those charges. ( this tip is not verified yet, I'll make a note if it is verified or otherwise )

Putting that update aside, i am edging close to 70 farming, which i hope to achieve within the next 2 weeks, if everything goes well, i will also be getting 69 farming tomorrow. i have also been concerned about combat training as i cannot allow Kat to overtake me in terms of combat!( sorry kat if you are reading this. i must win! ) Seeing her progress so fast in her strength training, i feel happy that she is getting closer to that str cape she had been dreaming of, but i am also worried that the sheer speed she is training at with one day overtake me, something i absolutely dread. Personal desires apart, good luck and all the best for your str cape ^^ !
