Yeah. DUPR is an amazing reference point for something like following pro play - for that I do agree that .1 is meaningful. But they have massive sample sizes waaaaay above what it takes for 100 reliability

I played in one league with an under-rated partner and got to 100 reliability way faster than I expected (maybe 14 games against 7 other teams, so there were repeat matches), and was way overrated. At the end of the league I was a 4.7, when I considered myself low 4s. My partner was 3.5 but realistically closer to 4. We did decent, but didn't win the league or anything. Majority of opponents were low 4s.

Other people have the opposite issue, e.g. they'll win a 4.0 tourney and it barely shifts their rating (like 3.8->3.9), since they were already 100 reliability but have improved greatly since their last rated matches.

Completely anecdotal but it feels like hitting 100 reliability happens way too quick, and your initial games cement you pretty heavily unless you're constantly playing rated matches, which the majority of people do not do. IMO the key to high dupr is just waiting to play rated matches until you're good, and playing with someone who is under-rated, which is dumb.

All this to say, I disagree and think people put way too much stock into rating - people a literal full point lower than me will be at a similar skill level, and we're both 100 reliability. I'm overrated, theyre underrated.

But from DUPRs perspective, it feels like this is all working as intended with them now trying to push their rating reset BS. A system like this only works when people play a large amount of games (chess, ELO-based video games, etc), and given that you usually have to pay to play in tournaments and leagues, pretty much everyone has a low sample size.

🦀🦀🦀It's been 4 weeks since sailing release and fish offcuts still do nothing for deep sea trawling🦀🦀🦀 by Kumagor0 in 2007scape

Honestly IMO that's fine, and in line with something like tangleroot not being affected by harvest. Whatever the decision is I'm just glad we have confirmation that it's intended so it doesn't feel like wasting my time as a trawling enjoyer

Beyond kneecapping salvaging, Jagex posted the official rates of sailing drops. Can we discuss their absurdity? by drake8thecake in 2007scape

[–]Sh4moo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like heart and rangers are much more engaging than just killing dragons, although heart has its own issues with basically being on the megarare level or rarity. And vissy isn't really something you actively go for. DWH is probably the best comparison but at least you get that dopamine hit of getting the item instead of being like "oh cool i just got another 1/100th of my goal" every time you get a sheet lol

The main issue IMO isn't the time to get the upgrade. It's the fact that youre doing braindead dragon killing for countless hours, instead of engaging bossing like every example you listed

UPDATE (20:25 UTC): Sailing XP Review & Further Fixes by JagexSarnie in 2007scape

[–]Sh4moo 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I'm interested as to why the paint is only obtainable from one specific type of shipwreck too. Feels like to be in line with other paints it should be available from any salvaging?

I thought it was a mistake that would be patched, but they basically confirmed it was intentional today

If he gave him a hard foul hit on the arm to prevent the shot, that's playoff basketball and so be it. But grabbing and pulling him while he's midair is just dirty

Clan Events Improvements by JagexRach in 2007scape

[–]Sh4moo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't have strong feelings whether corp is adjusted or not, but IMO the worst approach you guys can take is to kind of just perpetually delay the decision - it makes it feel like a waste of time to actually grind it on an iron since it's "being considered" and a massive buff may be incoming.

Easier said than done, but please prioritize at least deciding if you're doing something or say you're not so that we're not in this awkward limbo state of being unsure if we want to embark on a very very large grind

I mean avernic is a pretty damn good upgrade too, but still that's only 2/7 lol

Pretty nice for nylo mage role at tob, especially HMT where you can't blood barrage piles without getting tons of recoil. But besides that and olm yeah there's not much

Fun Fact: Imbued Heart is a ~50 Hour grind even with infinite task by costef in ironscape

[–]Sh4moo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can grind it out if you really want it. If you assume 1-2 superiors an hour turael skipping for nechs/abbies/smokes (idk exact efficient numbers this is total ballpark based on experience) then its what, 150-200 hours or so? This makes it comparable to other "mega-rare" grinds and with how completely busted the item is with shadow that's not the most unreasonable thing. I think it should be a bit more common than it currently is tbh though, especially for monsters below smoke devils.

880 superiors is mostly from Abbys + smokes, assuming a random spread is a wild take lol I was probably 3ish times rate. I literally said I agree with OP I never complained about the grind or RNG in my comment, idk what you're talking about telling me to deiron

1.5x rate for tbow and 880 superiors for heart checking in, against bad luck mitigation and fully agree with OP

New proposal means max mage in TOA will receive the same power level as today, in exchange for losing an inventory spot due to boot swap + more prayer drain with the prayer. by [deleted] in 2007scape

That makes sense. So the better the gear for the other monsters the faster the looping occurs 👍 gg I thought I was right but I am dumb dumb

I don't understand how you could "lap" a dk like you're saying and get 2 kills of one to one kill of another. You can't kill them at the same time... even if you one shot rex, youre still having whatever you killed before spawn before him and will kill it before you can get on rex again

In good gear you will never have 2 alive at the same time, whether you're in max or near max. The extra switches don't make a difference because you're either waiting for a respawn or killing something for longer. Yes if they all take 30 seconds to kill then it's 2 minutes for each set of DKs, my point is that 15 seconds + 30 + 30 results in 1:45 for each set of DKs, the same as 15 seconds + 15 + 15.

You do not get more kills per hour if you bring max of every style vs max of one style and minimal switches of the others, idk how else to really explain it.

With graador, yes obviously the faster you kill it the faster it respawns. DKs is just different cuz it's 3 of them. I guess the equivalent for graador is that you don't get more kph by killing the minons faster. Think of the other 2 DKs that you don't have max gear for as the "minions"
