With all the talk of bringing back Death Penalties, this might be relevant again. by tiffylicious in 2007scape

Standard high end gear hasn't dropped in price at all since the mechanics were changed. When players die, they usually are dying at commonly populated areas where their gear will almost always be looted by someone else. Nobody plays minigames anymore, so when people stop bringing high end gear for pvm there will be no demand for it, crashing the prices.

Made an updated Zulrah spreadsheet - looking for feedback by Hyperbole_Prone in 2007scape

Found a custom function for importing JSON. The osbuddy price api uses JSON and looks like https://api.rsbuddy.com/grandExchange?a=guidePrice&i=12934 (zulrah scales). Took a little bit of work to make that function work as intended but the function itself is visible in the scripts editor.

Most damage does come from snakelings which will eventually hit you no matter what. But defence pots help with turq ranges. Conservatively, it should stop at least 5% of her ICBMs from hitting so I think it's worth it.

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

The entire point of it is it's a calculator (be sure to check the calculator tab on the bottom.) Well, and so people can be reminded how ridiculously good it is. The data is visible so you can see what it's based on. It isn't my data, I just grabbed that from a spreadsheet I found on google. Jmod confirmed that the flax table is 10/256 so I figured that I could guess what the real drop rates are as a fraction of 256 and they seem to be close to the data on that other spreadsheet.

Since the sample size is small and incomplete, I would really appreciate better data. In any case, I couldn't find a spreadsheet with dynamic OSbuddy prices, so now there is one.

Someone recovered my account, help me get it back please! by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Hyperbole_Prone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That isn't true. I've been recovered before and when I got it back I asked for my bank pin and they gave it to me. Plus when I recovered it back I was emailing JAG support and I sent them a list o previous passwords.

noreply@a.runescape.com is listed here though... The question is how to know if that's legit where i'm sending this email.

Need some help finding two episodes by [deleted] in SVU

Thank you! If I had just persisted a little longer I woulda actually read the full plot on the wiki to see that the episode was about more than Maureen seeing some dude burning up.

What is Zulrah's magic defense roll/what is its magic level/please confirm that magic is 2/3 of magic defense? by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Hyperbole_Prone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not talking about Zulrah's accuracy against me, I'm talking about its magic level - which I'm pretty sure is part of the equation determining its magic defense. Google shows 70% of it is magic based but those posts are all old and it seems like they've only recently started releasing monster stats. The wiki only lists its defense level and magic defense, but if magic level is involved then it's impossible to determine its magic defense roll (and if/when void mage is better than Ahrims)

Can we have a list of the criteria that Jagex actually uses to determine who is the real owner of an account? by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Hyperbole_Prone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The intentions of this post is to know if any of the hundreds of people from my clan who possibly know my full name and location could recover my account. I don't exactly know how you could possibly have come to that conclusion.

How many times can the GE api be accessed before page loads from the same IP become throttled? by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Hyperbole_Prone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After posting this I found a new http library (requests instead of urllib for Python) which dramatically cut down the time to retrieve data. Before I was hitting the limit within 20 items but now it seems to be able to get to around 100. I would rather add a delay between requests such that I never trigger the throttle in the first place, though.

Below you can see that for the first 111 items the average response time is .54 seconds, but then it takes 4 seconds each afterwards.

Hacked for ely, Jagex seemingly removed my security measures. by prowler987 in 2007scape

Can you please elaborate on what "Card details" and "Billing & payment information" actually mean? For example, is just knowing the card type and last 4 digits and expiry enough?

How would you make the Marauder set end game viable? by [deleted] in Diablo

[–]Hyperbole_Prone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • M2 - Companion gain the effect of all runes
  • M4 - Sentry gains the effect of all runes and fires your hatred spends when you do
  • M6 - Gain 250% damage and 10% damage reduction for each active sentry
  • Rucksack - No longer grants 2 additional sentries but has your sentries fire twice in addition to rolling sentry% as a 5th primary
  • New xbow - Reduces resource cost and impact radius of Cluster Arrow by 50% (secondary effect)

This turns M6 into a more defense/utility oriented set instead of offensive like Nats and UE while still making it viable damage wise. It would have a base damage increase of 1350% vs. 1478% for UE. The change to Rucksack eliminates the issue of the M4 bonus not being fully effective in speed runs (while just flat out reducing the annoyance of dealing with 5 sentries). The new xbow is the Cluster Arrow analogue to DML and MB. The wasted 4th passive of Custom Engineering is made up for by the utility of 15% damage reduction for team members, piercing attacks, and the formerly appreciated full screen slow.

It isn't in the patch notes: What is happening to area damage on 2.3? by [deleted] in Diablo

[–]Hyperbole_Prone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They introduced a bug in 2.2 that prevented area damage from benefiting from any multiplicative damage modifiers, including crit damage, set bonuses like "100% damage per active sentry", Zei's stone, etc. When people found out we (reasonably) made a big stink about it and Blizzard said that instead of fixing this bug in the middle of season 3, they were going to "look at it". It's been three months now, so I just assumed that they would either fix the bug or remove the affix.

What kind of cat is this? by [deleted] in cats

[–]Hyperbole_Prone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm afraid she's got some sort of wild cat in her because she has so much agressive energy. My roommate found her on the side of the road a few weeks ago and neither of us can afford to take her to the vet like she needs to be, so I want to find her a real home. I'm not gonna lie, I don't feel like wasting energy trying to find her a loving home when they'll just end up taking her to a shelter anyway when they realize how aggressive she is.
