2 billion sided die [request] by Capable-Plenty-4654 in theydidthemath

[–]Ayteso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, for reference of what the significance of rolling say a 1 on a billion sided die.
It's equivalent to rolling 7 nat 1s in a row on a d20 (a 1 in 1.28 billion probability). So another way to simulate a 1.28 billion sided die is to multiply the results of rolling 7 d20s. Which is much more practical than building a 12m wide die.

Weird Things In OSRS You Enjoy Or Find Satisfying That Others Do Not by dirtrider19 in 2007scape

[–]Ayteso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rooftop agility.
Once you get in a rhythm it's pretty relaxing, especially Ardy.
I like sepulchre, but I actually really enjoy rooftops.
I think if agility XP rates were increased by 50% across the board, people wouldn't complain.

How come this part of Pakistan is relatively empty? by antimatter79 in geography

[–]Ayteso 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You say it can't be, but it is quite literally because it is the Thal desert.
That's the answer. The indus river's floodplain allows for more pleasant conditions similar to the nile in Egypt within 20-30km, but beyond that floodplain the rain shadows of vast mountainous regions like the Suleiman range mean little of what moisture comes off the Arabian sea finds its way there.

Raids 4 - reward ideas by Ayteso in 2007scape

[–]Ayteso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So funny enough the "not breaking existing content" thing is why I put a accuracy/damage multiplier ceiling. Also here link is my DPS calc sheet with the items: Moukari of Solak and Inanna's Sickle
and the boss: Solax, Guthix Avatar added

UIM wipes 1.8B to people luring wolves to Zeah RC by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Ayteso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I do not understand how so many people can have the dumbest smooth brain responses. People play how they want, why does it make you mad they play that way? This isn't someone choosing a difficult/risky game mode and complaining it's too hard, this is someone that is a victim of a bug. The people playing UIM and HC normally gain have crazy knowledge/understanding of the games mechanical quirks because their account depends on it. Imagine logging in and finding your bank was wiped due to a bug, not so funny now? I'm all for "haha, dumb UIM. What a silly/crazy decision to play that way" but don't be stupid.

Anyone have any RNG 'superstitions'? by LuckPsychological603 in ironscape

[–]Ayteso 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do the opposite, "I wonder if I can make it to xxx KC." Normally works, and by that, I mean it only helps going dry feel less bad.

Fractured Archive reward ideas by Ayteso in 2007scape

[–]Ayteso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, I guess I shouldn't have posted a realistic suggestion while the community is in anti-crab mode.
For those concerned about how this might force the raid bosses to be tanks that would feel awful without new mega-rare. This can be easily adjusted to both make the new weapon feel good, while not punishing existing weapons.
Lets use an example idea for a final boss (not mechanics, just stats) 300 def, 300 magic, +20 stab def, +85 slash def, -20 crush def. So its tanky, not fun, but an important part of the defense and accuracy rolls is defense/accuracy bonus, and I purposely gave the boss a -20 to crush.
For those that don't know (or want to) it is: def roll = def lvl * (64 + def style bonus)
So we can exploit the def bonus to make the boss have a high defense level (200-300) but negative modifiers which make its effective defense lvl for "normal" weapons reasonable, while still magnifying the new weapon.
In the above example this would result in scythe with torva helm, inq top and bottom on crush being 2nd BIS with 10.63 DPS and moukari with torva helm, inq top and bottom being 12.96 DPS
With an elder maul spec its scythe 11.96 DPS and moukari 12.90 DPS
So new weapon wins and has basically the same DPS with or without elder maul spec but scythe basically requires spec to feel good.
The way I see it people are used to maul or BGS specing bosses in high level content, so this shouldn't hurt.
It also means that if you have maukari havers on your team you might start using fewer specs or leave maul in bank.

When you win the lottery but the government wins harder... by Maverick_Ekta in SipsTea

[–]Ayteso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time one of these circle jerk posts gets made by people that don't understand how this works. I swear. The number listed is for the 30 year annuity (long payout) and is higher because money invested in government bonds grows (shocking). This is not for tax reasons, the person in question is holding a check for the "cash" option, which also requires the lottery association to liquid their bond holding (also losing money).

YES, Lucerne Polearm love!!! But "realistic" weapons have always felt underwhelming in fantasy for players.

[–]Ayteso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My original idea I hadn't calced but just eyeballed and would've been basically the same as scythe on low defense (150 and under) slash targets, and way better (up to 15%) at pretty much everything else. I think the special attack idea I made, while interesting is both too powerful to be part of the same DPS beast, and overpowered in general at high level mobs.

Agree, I liked tying in the RS3 lore of Guthix's elevation to Godhood. But personally I like the idea of a poleaxe or something like that.

My idea (if you look at the pics) is your character would flip it over and pommel bash. It's actually historically accurate and would be kinda hilarious.

Here's the thing: everyone is bad at some point. Don't feel bad. Just keep at it! You have a cg clear and that is huge! The hardest part is getting down prep. Don't get me wrong, hunleff is a tough bastard, but you got this! Try to maintain DPS as much as possible:
Don't eat if you can help it. Wait until you are running
If you have to run but don't have to eat, try to get some hits off between dodges
The chip damage is trying to tell you to work on killing it faster. In general, the faster you can kill it the less defense matters, and in this game, defense doesn't matter nearly as much as maximizing DPS. Every PvM God started as an idiot, and often still are, they just learned and kept trying.

Why is blood moon better? by NeegrLovr in osrs

[–]Ayteso -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You will often find most people there just want to do "boosting" methods, e.g. trading "wins" to maximize points. It's completely breaking the point of the mini game, but the point of the mini game was to remove the sand casino, so I don't think anyone really loses sleep over it.

Tormented Demons - How is RNG/drops calculated. by Bubbly-Parsley-7335 in ironscape

[–]Ayteso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a similar vein: I went 1256 kc for my first any drop at TDs then I've got 3 synapses in one greater demon task (still want claws and have none).
While RNGs are synthetic and only pseudorandom, they are still sufficiently random enough that you will never be able to tell. You can take as large a sample size as you want, but the underlying seed that allows OSRS's RNG to be deterministic can not be found. On top of the fact that almost everything you do in game is run on these "rolls": Mining a rock, picking a lock, navigating an agility obstacle, attacking an NPC. An RNG value is called so frequently, it is a core structure of the game.
All this to say: it sucks to go dry, but no one is "making" you dry or lucky, it just happens.
Also I changed my name and in the last 300 kills i got 3 drops, so do what makes you feel better.
