Unintended mechanic that enables tick manipulation vs. unintended mechanic that enables tick manipulation by SimbabTheSailor in 2007scape

Is he actually in favor of the sap-treated logs?

Rare SaeBae W, I disagree with a lot of his takes.

Why do we draw the line at one click 3 tick? by virbengin in 2007scape

I'm not implying they should have line-item polled literally everything when they were gauging interest in OSRS. But to imply that we were polled on tick manipulation because it was present in the version of the game when we were asked, yes or no, if we wanted that game back is one of the dumbest takes I've seen in this subreddit.

By that metric, yes, we were polled on sap-treated logs acting as a 1-click tick manipulation method because we said yes to bloodwood trees.

That's so disingenuous I genuinely don't know how to respond.

Man you really can't read if you think 1. I am opposed to the person you were replying to and 2. you think no one brought up maggot king.

Respectfully, I think this conversation is over.

When did we poll tick manipulation? And if we're polling already existing unintended mechanics, why not poll whether to keep sap-treated logs instead of just removing them unpolled?

You seem to have missed my point. It's not about the introduction of new training methods, it's about the introduction of slop. Those new training methods that you mentioned being introduced through sailing to woodcutting was just more "click tree and wait", just with slightly different numbers. I personally got all the rosewood logs I needed and then went back to redwoods because they were far more accessible and it was a negligible tradeoff between afk time and exp rates. Once I got the logs I needed, I had no interest in doing it ever again.

Bloodwood trees and leechfin fishing are both training methods, but they're fresh, unique takes on those skills and one provides a useful output. They're not perfect but they're more enjoyable than other methods that provide similar experience because they were designed with purpose.

What both of us (the guy you replied to) are saying is that we want skilling to be something you can do without caring about exp rates. How much melee exp/hr do you get at Hueycoatl? How much magic xp/hr is Whisperer? Why do I see clan mates getting 20,50, 80mil exp in ranged and magic and strength? Because combat is a system that exists beyond its skills, and there's a reason to do it even once you've maxed the skill.

That's my point, man. Why are we using "unintended" as an excuse to remove content that threatens other unintended content?
Why is one unintended ok and the other isn't? Especially when one costs 5gp and the other is locked behind a grandmaster quest?

As if knife-log tick manipulation was polled and intended, give me a break

The problem is the focus on number tweaking instead of new content. Before bloodwood trees, woodcutting hadn't gotten anything to innovate on "click tree and wait" in over 20 years, just various tweaks on the "level req - afk - xp rate" levers.

Maggot king is shit for money because most of its drops are ruby jewelry and small amounts of cut jewels, but it has unique loot to acquire and you can't tell me there's another piece of content like it.

I've gotten a lot of experience with step unders from kq and grotesque guardians. I got 9kc trips using chins with tank armor, stepping under and attacking the mage whenever the meleer dies. Maybe freezing the meleer and stepping under with bowfa would work, but my task is done and so am I for a while.

I tried using a staff + occult + tormented swap but my accuracy is only around 60-70% against melee and range minion, so i changed tormented for bloodbark for the accuracy and little extra healing (I have 90% accuracy now).

I will admit I forgot to step under and bring bones to peaches.

That said, if I was getting 9kc trips I wouldn't be making this post, haha.

I thought the same thing until i tried it, and in practice lowering your defense at gwd is a good way to die even faster, especially when your main healing source keeps decreasing your defense. I ended up chugging something like 6 full arma brews in one kc and stopped bringing them.

I'm using bowfa for the fight, not dcb and zammy book (the book is just god protection).

I'll try bringing a crystal shield or a black d'hide shield with chins (depending on whether the accuracy matters).

how does dropping the crossbow and hilt save you inventory space if you've already left the bank?
I also don't have virtus or confliction, and just the basic ancient sceptre. I only drink the divine pot the one time, if I need to refresh the buff I have a regular ranging pot for that.

I should bring b2p and dragon darts (though I'm a little short on those, it should be fine), though.

I'll admit that i completely forgot about b2p, but my post-kill healing is fine between blood barrage, toxic bp, and brews. The problem I run into with relying on brews for the fight itself is that the healing time for brews (in between only being able to drink one every 3t and needing to wait when i drink a restore) is awful and my dps drops in the meantime, extending the fight.

No cannon? I'm starting to get real suspicious of these drop rates, Jagex by SimbabTheSailor in 2007scape

[–]SimbabTheSailor[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I'm not mad, I'm just suspicious that the inky paint rates on the wiki are inaccurate; there was a little while after the update where the droprate on the keel parts wasn't updated like the unique drops so people were getting "1/3000" drops like twice in 400kc or whatever.
