Sky Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Darkscape is JaGeX's new all PVP game mode. It's a mixed system of the old combat system (no abilities/Legacy) with alot of the new content of RS3. It's completely free to play, you get all the content of members while being free to play. although members gain 50% bonus XP, better drops, double bank space & double items kept on death. You do not get to save your account's progress over to the new game mode. This in it self poses both many pros and cons. obvious cons being progress lost and you are valueless. Another big con being that since everyone will be the same level for a while, there will be just non stop barrages of attacks the moment you spawn and even create your account. There are only 2 servers so everything is super competitive. Of course if there were more than this, the game would be too easy. Pros being the game is completly fresh, new economy. The race begins! ~ingame review~ The game is currently a lag fest for many people. Upon creating account, since you spawn in lumbridge, many players sit in a black screen since it just a vast battlefield, often dying at least twice before you can even see anything. not that you have anything anyway. It's posses odd bugs, such as leveling misc skills such as cooking will give you the popup "increased combat level" The grand exchange is still there but uses the same medians as RS3. Which is completly misleading. There are not as many resources or goods in the game, and practically zero gold compared to RS3 in these servers. People are just begining to alch, and alching anywhere is insanely dangerous. if youu alch, you have to hold a good amount of your cash and items in your inventory, with the animation completely visible to all players saying "hi please kill me for my stuff" So alching to put money in the game is something you have to be careful about. There was clans or groups of people hording training locations, and even some at slayer masters, preventing you from training slayer. Same with mining locations, cows, chickens, fishing etc. This is expected though. But clans seem super op since everywhere is multi. Making the game way less fun if there were just at least some non multi areas. The 50% boosts give a pretty unfair advantage. Obviously a downside for the who are f2p especially in these earlier levels. ~My end thoughts~ Defiently a game worth checking out. it's a little cosmetically buggy and a bit slower load, but the in game mechanics work perfectly fine. The combat is basic legacy so it's easy to handle. it's a completly free game, and you can pay2win for xp. The murder hype will slow out soon once the level margin increases a bit. i do see some future problems with some things such as large clans taking over, but this is just a 15 minute review. So best of luck to you dark souls. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Hearing that it's all pvp doesn't really sound good to me. Why would I like to die 2 times before even playing that's sounds retarted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 without the EOC mechanic, making it just 07 with more skills and weapons Lots of armor and weaponry are disabled, and some even haved nerfed stats. It's more like 07 than it's ever been excluding the PVP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stixx Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) Clans are the reason that these new game modes will not work. They will take over many aspects of the game and completely ruin it for the other people playing. This type of gameplay will not last.
