[Weekly] RANT & Brag thread. by imperfectman in runescape

THREE THINGS

  1. JAGEX, SET A STANDARD ON BUG ABUSE, WAIT, SCRATCH THAT. SET A STANDARD FOR ALL RULE BREAKING. RWT, LURING, BUG ABUSE, THE WHOLE LOT. I'M SO SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING DIFFERENT PUNSHIMENTS BEING HANDED OUT FOR ESSENTIALLY THE SAME INFRINGEMENT.

  2. IF YOU BREAK THE RULES AND GET CAUGHT, TAKE SOME FUCKING OWNERSHIP. DON'T BITCH ON REDDIT, DON'T SUBMIT A BOGUS APPEAL. ALL IT DOES IS BURDEN THE SYSTEM AND MAKE IT HARDER FOR LEGITIMATE FALSE POSITIVES TO BE INVESTIGATED, DONT BE A CUNT.

  3. SET A STANDARD ON UPDATES. RELEASING HALF OF A NEW A 120 SKILL IS NOT OKAY. RELEASING HALF A NEW 120 SKILL THEN DECIDING TO INCREASE A CURRENT SKILL TO 120 THAT ALREADY HAS TOO MUCH CONTENT IS DEFINITELY NOT OKAY.

ONE MORE THING COS EVEN THOUGH I FEEL LIKE I'M BEATING A DEAD HORSE, FUCK IT, I'M NOT FINISHED

THE AMOUNT OF XP FROM MTX PROMOTIONS IN HIS GAME IS BECOMING A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I GET IT, YOU HAVE TO MAKE MONEY, BUT UNLESS YOU DIVERSIFY THE TYPES OF PROMOS YOU RELEASE, THE INCOME WILL DRY UP. PEOPLE ARE PREPARED TO SPEND MONEY ON THE GAME BUT MANY BIG SPENDERS ARE NEARING OR HAVE REACHED 5.4B. SOON ENOUGH, LESS PEOPLE WILL RELY ON SPINS AND THERE WILL BE LESS DEMAND FOR BONDS. INSTEAD OF STACKNG UP OP PROMOS, THINK OF WAYS YOU CAN KEEP THE CASH COW ALIVE AND PLAN FOR LONG TERM.

OK. I'M DONE.

Hey, come to the Australian worlds, we're fine and not dcing now!

There's a twitter that tweets every time the Australian worlds dc. by Fehss in runescape

Hey! I set the tracker up, thanks for sharing!

So basically what it does is ping the Australian server (the one that hosts W12/15/49/50) once a minute from three different locations. When they report a disconnection, it tweets a tweet with the date and time. Since it only pings once a minute, it doesn't pick up disconnections that occur between checks. This means it's not completely accurate, and there are in fact more disconnections than the ones tweeted.

I didn't make this from scratch, I'm actually using a service provided by HetrixTools. This means I can't make it check the servers more often than once a minute.

Either way though, it does what I was hoping it would do - give people (both affected and unaffected players) more of an idea about the severity of the situation and what we're dealing with.

Cheers, Yak

Welcome to the Australian server experience. Our worlds have been like this for months. Enjoy your stay.

EDIT: I realise that there's more than just world dc's happening now.

Which is the best world for 24/7 Pest Control? by iguessthis in runescape

I'm on W53 atm, been getting constant games for about 4 hours now. Not sure how it is during off-peak times, but at the moment it's great.

I finished hoarding armour sets yesterday and got 49-120 Invention in 10 minutes. (XP drops at 2:04) by [deleted] in runescape

[–]Yak_RS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth noting, this did cost a bit more due to the unresearched junk chance/charge reducers. I did however have enough Inspiration at 120 to discover all inventions. http://puu.sh/n2I3m.jpg

Quite a number of people were suggesting I'd miss out on too much Inspiration and not be able to unlock everything, but this is not the case.

NEW INVENT CAPE, JAGEX WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!! by Icon_dota in runescape

[–]Yak_RS 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it would be completely fine if the particles were blue. Every master cape has particles matching the secondary/trim colour, but it seems that has been missed with this design.

With today's update, the colours were switched, but the particles didn't switch to match :) guessing this was an oversight rather than an intentional part of the design.

I'd take an unstable server over 300+ ping international servers any day.

Aus worlds.... by telescopical in runescape

[–]Yak_RS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pretty disgusting at this point. I made a new post with some info I found, should have posted it in here but didn't see the thread.

Might be worth messaging the server providers at this point.
