pkmafia8 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 U guys told us about the ballista update and got our hopes up. It's now 1 month later and the ballista update still didn't happen while u guys added KODAI WAND which no one wants.People rather see Ballista being updated instead of KODAI wand. Our patience is running out... Ballista and pathing should be one of the first updates that should of happened.We are waiting so long for pking with ballista. Can u guys please add Ballista this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smackd Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 If your patience is running out then go use it elsewhere 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoobs Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 It's not a simple update to be done which has been stated so many times to players the animations have to be ripped into the client and as the client is about 20 years old it's an extremely hard job to do and we spoke about adding ballista but we never gave a time when it would actually be added therefore your comments are irrelevant but i completely agree with Smackd if you want to go use a ballista go use it elsewhere.

PK Guy Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I just want to say your comparison here is completely invalid. The models for said items have been added (proof is Affliction's pics), however the key difference between actually implementing the Ballista Vs. Kodai wand is that the former is a unique item and latter is an improvement of an existing one. In short, there's not much to "code" for the Kodai wand, you just copy and paste the Master Wand stuff across and amend the bonus slightly, not much to do there. The Ballista on the other hand, there's no existing item to base it off, so it needs to be added from scratch - you don't just add a model and think that's it, now it will work, there's the anims/gfx of the javs, the attack formulas, etc all need to be done. Same goes for blow-pipe, it's a unique item. Some 317 servers (that are similar in structure to Rpkz) do the cheap hax of using the glass-blowing pipe emote for it's attack, because that's the nearest existing emote, but Affliction takes pride in his work and doesn't want to release something half-assed. In the long term it is better to load real OSRS cache. Unless you can sort the client super-fast yourself, or know someone who can, it's not going to happen this week LOL. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
