The Fist…… Fails?

Of course I’m referring to the new pvp game Fist of Guthix (when I hear this I hear a quote from Rush’s song “The Weapon”. “An iron fist in a velvet glove that don’t see what we’re made of.” …..sorry) You play as two roles per match. The first role is the hunted. In this role you, run around like a fool, collecting energy with your stone as you avoid and outsmart the hunter. The hunter has to find and kill the hunted. Both people then switch the roles and complete the match. The winner is the one who collected the most energy. You get rank and more importantly tokens that you can exchange for fabulous prizes.

…. The problem is that the prizes aren’t that fabulous or that the game is not all that fun at times.

Every reward item does degrade. The runecraft gloves and slayer gloves will dissolve and I’m still not sure about the shields (comment if you know what happens. I’ll edit and give you credit.) The robes, however, can be recharged with more tokens. Maybe it is just me because I did max out my mage but the benefits of these “robes” just doesn’t outweigh the vastly superior bonus I can enjoy with my Ahrims.

Now for the game itself. If you lag, don’t even try to play it. It will be hard to avoid the hunter or catcha nd eliminate your helpless prey. The biggest problem for me is that when the people are in the center, it is hard for you to see your target and his/her health. This makes it hard to see if they are healer or just impossible to hit them. It is just frustrating….

Oh well…. “Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose”….. or in English “The more things change, the more they stay the same”
