So whats the deal?

[nebby]

ah yeah i know, student-submitted questions can be harder.

But who can resist Mecal? :wink2:

Well, a Mecal is pretty seck-C. Gotta admit though, being that seck-C, it would be pretty popular with the rune-duping crowd...there'd be Mecal's everywhere in dueling games!* You don't want that, do you?







* if I see ONE MORE BOTD cb/ba with a CoH in a dueling game, I'm gonna puke. too late! bmmmph. bmmmmphh. blehhhhhhhh!

this is true.

:cheesy:

lousy dupers.

Actually Hammerstein, Nef.

I heard a rumor of a new runeword - Nef Sol in a 2 socket flail ... any one care to confirm or deny? I don't have a flail .... and I am poor and have only a few sols and 1 shael and those are my highest runes.... bnet hates me and doesn't give me runes.
:lol:

 

[skunkbelly]

You know what would be really cool, while we're talking about things that will never happen? If there was a "random" sort of runeword.

A monster would drop a scroll with a randomly generated recipe on it... could be anything, though it would be generated with area level / difficulty mode in mind. The scroll would say what item is required, what runes, and what mods you'll get as a result. Then, you'd put the runes, the item, and the scroll into the cube, and kazaam! A unique rune-word item. These random recipes would only work once, of course, because the scroll vanishes in the process.

Anyway, some of the scrolls would be junky, of course, just like an imbue quest item or an Anya item or a crafted item... but some recipes would be outrageously powerful, and would be highly valued. It seems like something like this would be easy to implement, and would be big fun.

But since we'll probably never even see the new runewords, they'll never implement something this cool

Some question

where can i manage to find new runewords that blizz should have activated?? And also, where are news about runewords??

 

[weirdoctor]

you know what, skunk, i had almost the exact same idea! Not to mention it'd set of a new economy in scroll trading.

Now if they could only stop those stupid %*&$ing rune dupers in the process, we're all set.

The really funny part about the random rune-word thing is that most traders would have a really hard time coming up with fair trade values for them, so you could mebbe get some good ones for cheap!
