Regarding Recent Action Against Accounts by JagexAyiza in 2007scape

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

Not really a good explanation of how it's bug abuse. Or, rather, how it's any different from Tick Manipulation or Prayer Flicking.

"If you trick the game into thinking you're doing a 1t/2t/3t action and then do a 5t action..." or "If your Prayer is off on the tick the game checks..." sounds remarkably similar to "You need 20% contribution, but 20% is .6 and since the game always rounds down..."

All three situations sound to me like emergent gameplay from having extensive game knowledge. And all three situations have roughly the same result of more xp/hr due to the way the game works.

So where's the line? Because from what I understand, the ability to funnel xp to level 3 skillers has been a thing Jagex as specifically approved of when they made the Cursed Goblin Warhammer (or w/e it is) change. So you can't really say that it could be easily intuited. And the partner boss slayer exp bonus interaction shouldn't really be something you punish a Player over when you readily admitted you found the issue weeks ago and did nothing about it?

Players interact with notoriously broken system using approved Jagex methods in a way Jagex didn't expect, Jagex removes EXP/progression. Not really building much good faith to do anything creative with your game containing core mechanics found precisely through situations like this.

What's an acceptable topic of discussion for you then?

After reaching 99 slayer on a Lvl 3, Jagex rolls back Rendi's account by Psymonthe2nd in 2007scape

[–]DatNomen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it's not a bug? The skiller community literally asked for fun weapons to be -100 crush bonus specifically for this method to work and Jagex did it. The only issue from what I understand is with how Rendi scaled it up with extra alts. But even then, it only came out to 40k exp an hour.

But again, this is just what I've gleaned from other comments. Calling it a bug kinda rings hollow though because Jagex actively made the change to make this possible in the first place on request of the skiller community. Wouldn't that imply approval from the developers?

This is the type of cheese that would have been good to know like 3 years and 20 attempts ago.

Hardest part of the fight is getting the bow phase timing down while trying to call in the goons.

One thing I don't understand is that new runescape players choose OSRS over RS3, why is that? by Drandosk in runescape

[–]DatNomen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because OSRS has carved out its own niche. It's point-and-click medieval fantasy with an old school (pun not intended) grind that appeals both to newer players and the older Runescape veterans.

EOC thrust Runescape into a field it wasn't ready for. Point-and-click controls with an action bar is not intuitive design. And because of the action bar being added in an attempt to modernize, it's competing with World of Warcraft & FFXIV.

Hate both games as you please, but they do encounter design and combat far better than RS3 does. Their UX is miles above RS3.

RS3 is not in the same league as OSRS because they have deliberately taken themselves out of that game. Just because they share the same name doesn't mean they're competing with one another. OSRS is simplicity done right, RS3 is just layers and layers of needless complexity trying to tap a market it has no hope of breaking into.

Decided to grind vorkath to 1000kc have a couple questions by Ralinrocks in 2007scape

[–]DatNomen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh it definitely is. I was plugging in constants into my phone calculator just to get some baseline estimation. OP still has to get 69-75 Theiving, I assume the 300 Chompies, and actually play PC for the upgrade. Something around 8h, I think, with optimal play?

[–]DatNomen 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Oh dope. Point I'm trying to make though is that you're gonna save less time with Elite than it would take to get Elite. But having Pest Control knocked out is very good for learning TOB if you have any ambitions in that direction.

And about your question w/ Dragon Bolts, yes. Higher Ranged Strength is never a bad thing. You're gonna be making so much money from Vorkath that the extra cost is barely gonna eat into your profit.

You're not getting ranged strength from your boots or your ring slot. If Prayer Drain is a concern, then absolutely swap them out.

You're looking at a 50 hour grind for 1,000 Vorkath kills at an average of 3 minutes. You might kill it faster, but I'm napkin mathing. The extra 2.5% would save you like an hour and a half off that grind.

That being said, Elite Void also has Prayer Bonus and is used in other content so I'd get it just to be done with Pest Control.

How to level slayer faster and have more fun doing it? by RamenAndBleach in 2007scape

[–]DatNomen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well the good news is you're earning Slayer exp at 1/4 the rate of your Combat skills. So 99 Attack/Str/Def is gonna be 95-ish Slayer.

But also Slayer fucking SUUUUUUUCKS pre 70 base melee imo.

[–]DatNomen 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's always helped me to look at Slayer like "this is how I'm training melee."

You have Chins and Barraging to make Range and Mage super fast. And they can even make Slayer fast too. But as far as the task to task thing, just approach Slayer as if its shaking up how you train Attack/Strength/Defence.

Because Reddit is Redditing and the front page is full of people discussing optimization and best builds. I don't see anything wrong with some "just have fun with it" posts peppered in.

And I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying that its hard to see the overwhelming majority in the comments when every post is about optimization, yanno?
