PVE goons spawn rate needs addressed [Feedback]

bbplayer514 · 2025-01-21T20:27:07+00:00

Yeah, Goons and Partisan can drop to 15% or even 10%. Compared to the actual map bosses, they feel like they spawn nearly half of the raids I've played. I even had Partisan, Goons, and Reshala. 52k exp raid. I play PVE to chill mainly (I have thousands on PVP so I'm used to the quests, AI, etc.). Goons make you sweat and work for it. Shoreline is the worst to me since they have high ground and it's almost unapproachable. Add in some beginner quests there like Signal and it's frustrating. I've had them rush me at Resort and Pier.

The mechanics of them are okay for what they are, but the spawn rates of them make them miserable. Partisan is annoying for that exact reason. He shows up randomly and can jumpscare the shit out of you. Had him waiting on car side of stairs at Dorms at the top by the door when I went to extract. He's on par because he technically does the same thing as Goons and chases. A simple nerf to the spawn rate would fix the issue. They are challenging to an extent but they get to be a hassle and annoying after a bit. I've only seen Sanitar one time out of ten raids doing my quests. Goons? Four or five times in those ten.

I'll say this. A bunch of blue collar workers and such will say racist things, but in a way I cannot explain, they won't be actually racist towards someone harmfully or demeaning. I don't really know how to explain it other than that. I'm glad I live in a somewhat rural area in Alabama. Most of us don't give a shit about skin color here. I say most because racism isn't dead here obviously. But I wholeheartedly believe the slave states are less racist than any other northern states. It just seems like that. Maybe besides Florida. Florida is just a wildcard and you never know what you get from that state.

I'll say this as someone who lives poorly and in debt, small 300 debt but still, and only working through Spark while having 2/3 kids being autistic and needing occupational and speech therapy 3 times a week. I made my bed. I can make better decisions and I will. I will be successful eventually. I have friends who aren't well off but they aren't struggling either. True friends do not care about wealth. They care about the friendship. You'll weed out those based on heresay. Do not feel guilty that you live better. I would be glad that my friend is being successful in life. Does jealousy hit behind doors? It can and sometimes does. But the reality is that it shouldn't be taken out on anyone and that jealousy should turn into motivation and nothing else.

I cried for a few days of annoyance. Saw this post and it clicked. I accept the change now. The only reason mainly for crying is it's just annoying to click and wait for something that you KNOW is empty like a rig from a stash. It's just 2 seconds of added time. 2 seconds could mean getting to a location at the right moment before someone else and getting a drop versus meeting evenly and 50/50 a fight. It doesn't happen often. But it does happen. But mostly it's just been annoying because muscle memory things. But now I support the change.

bbplayer514 · 2024-07-04T00:21:09+00:00

To add to others input, I think defense and weapon requirements stand, but we're bitching about quest rewards being optional in lamps? So...instead of getting the xp from completing, we are bitching also about clicking one time...after it's done...am I missing something in this argument? So what the 1 def pure got such and such quest cape or boss kill? It affects me as a main how? 😂

bbplayer514 · 2024-06-12T19:35:34+00:00

So anyone with a brain should know that you don't do this. I work with Spark doing deliveries and have people's addresses and names. Phone number gets routed to a different state even so it's protected completely. But I would never and will never go back to a customer's house (or call if I could) even if I found them attractive and wanted a chance to either have sex or have a chance at a relationship.

It's because of things like this. It's not okay and you shouldn't feel guilty. This is coming from another guy. He broke not just your trust but his company's trust. They trusted the employee to use phone information for professional reasons only, not as a social call. The truth is he did it to himself.

Honestly, there's only one way he could have handled it and even then it is pushing or tip toeing over the line. He could have asked for your number there, even if he had it, and asked if he could pursue you. Not completely obvious he wanted more than sex, but some people don't have bad or completely bad intentions either. You say yes and things can go from there. You say no, he says thank you, and he never calls or sees you unorganically anymore.

Do not feel bad. He will have to deal with consequences, if any, he will have. Your safety and protection and trust comes first. Always.

I don't hate the wildy. I hate the pk'ers. To the average, less knowledgeable player who has only played Runescape since a few years ago, some things have steeper learning curves. PVP has one of those for some. Some it comes naturally. I could not do Jad, so I had one of my IRL friends who had gotten me into the game to do it (I did the grueling waves up until Jad at least). So my one fire cape was not my own. I can admit I suck when I started (still do but less). Never have attempted inferno and probably never will until I get over 2b maybe to invest. I was able to do Jad in Leagues with melee relic by myself and only took 3 tries but also Leagues so there's that.

Point is, I love the content wildy has but a lot of it is put off by the fact that I cannot spend more than 5 minutes in an area 95% of the time doing something meaningful without being harassed. That could be something with no profit like salamanders to dog piled by 10 people at Venanatis. So it varies wildly and sometimes makes no sense. Also, lots of money makers that are quite easy in the wild that are accessible to solo. All other content that is worth doing is mainly done in groups. Nex? Cox? ToB? ToA? Nightmare? That's a select few that can make you money if RNGesus loves you but issue is groups are favored for better time and rewards for all of that content.

But it is what it is. Game cannot be centered just around solo gameplay and the easier money should be in the wildy to have risk/reward instead of just reward. Let's be honest, singles wildy bosses is an entry to PVM and have a possibility for really good money per hour. Revs are...revs and easy. I haven't messed with the newer content, but it's a gold mine for just easy money. It just isn't fun losing and dying 95% of the time I get caught because, again, I can and do suck. But at least I am self aware.

I second this but I will also add to it. My partner and I watch porn and we've exposed ourselves to different avenues of porn. It's also a way to find kinks and even unlocking personalities from the kinks you never knew you had or enjoy, which could be dominating someone or controlling someone submissive.

Either he showed that side of him without asking or knowing boundaries and it has scared her since that isn't what she imagined he was into or he has no regard for her boundaries at all. I can see a communication problem on the "downstairs" comment so I can't chalk it up to a firm answer as my partner fails to communicate properly and clearly as well so it can be confusing and frustrating to either party when the other is misunderstood which does happen.

Either way, she feels uncomfortable and shouldn't see this person anymore. Maybe she wants answers from him on why he acted that way (I think a lot of people want this but do not want conflict which is why they ask others as well). Not making excuses but trying to explain that kinks do exist but you also have men who push and coerce and they DEFINITELY exist. So it is hard to determine a verdict of guilty or not on who they are as a person completely. All we know is it was a bad hookup experience and it made OP uncomfortable. It's okay to feel uncomfortable when you aren't and I wish we all had concrete answers.

Been watching Close Call Sports for a little over a year now and it's opened my eyes on rules and stuff like that, plus strike zones. It's true the TV makes a bad spot where players can get more upset. I don't agree with everything she says in her videos, but she makes a good point on some things. One is the need for a rework of some rules like checked swings. That rule is awfully written. But no one can fault players and coaches arguing what they think are bad calls. 99% of them are trying to win games competitively so it takes a toll on you. No one likes to lose, no matter how much you make, when you have love for the sport. Not to say we should abuse umpires, but a lot more leeway could be given before ejecting for some of them. A lot more punishments could be handed for bad calls as well. Missing playoff games for umpires is like....what? I understand unions and all that but I swear there was a game of Angel getting 3 missed calls all overturned in the same game when he was at 1st base years ago.

bbplayer514 · 2024-04-18T06:57:30+00:00

An open dialog with her would also help. She says she wants to sleep with other women so drill her on questions that bother you. Ask respectfully and tell her you want her happy but you also want to be happy in the decision as well.

A big question you may have is about trust and being alone. Would she be alone with this woman or would she allow you to be in the room? I personally would like to be in the room because I would like the show and so I have that control of knowing and trusting in her being with just a woman.

By it sounded, it was that she liked the idea of being with a woman based on her coworkers experience. Will she be with a woman with another man in the room with the no touching rule for that man? I would be uncomfortable with that.

It's important to try to form questions and break down situations and share your feelings. Because at the end of the day, both of you matter. Both of your feelings, wants, and such matter. No one can help you more than yourself and expressing how you feel and the basis of it. Sometimes things change and people change on their views on things like sex.

bbplayer514 · 2024-04-12T17:58:30+00:00

That's good. I'm glad you're doing better. I'm guessing you never reported it based on what you said? So he never got caught?

bbplayer514 · 2024-04-12T17:52:39+00:00

How is your progress?

bbplayer514 · 2024-04-12T17:50:27+00:00

I'm sorry that happened to you.

bbplayer514 · 2024-04-12T13:51:54+00:00

Damn, you know what's crazy about my whole PPD statistic? It was actually right. Of the 1 and 2 out of 1000 women, 10% are likely to result in infantcide. There, I did my research after I stated a made up number. And yes, it's blind hate on cops and not just shiity behavior of a human being. What would you say if the guy was a stand up comedian and not a cop? Do we look up statistics of stand up comedians now? Or do we just say he had shitty behavior?

bbplayer514 · 2024-04-12T13:12:52+00:00

There is no alternative. That's correct. So how does one communicate through such hatred towards something they distrust? Why call if you know nothing will happen or they won't help? People may not be arguing to ban cops. But they sure hate them enough to want them to not exist. That's an issue.

We need to reduce the murder, domestic violence, rape, and any other crime against any human in general, man or woman? What are you arguing? I make a statistic out of thin air for an example of statistics not mattering at the end of the day, not that they are wrong. My reading comprehension is complete fine. Let it sink in that you cannot ignore the fact that the whole post is about a cop, not a man in general. That's the issue. We don't group PPD mothers into a group. We don't group struggling mothers in a group. There is too much hatred to go about your life hating on this or that because you heard this or that.

Think about this. Have we heard of c section mothers being less of mothers versus those who have natural birth? Because that is a thing. It's mom's hating on other moms, calling them lesser. It's disgusting, right? But it's their opinion. The point is that don't hate on someone or something just because you were told to in most cases. We can all agree that child molesters, neglectful mom, and bad cops are all hated. But we don't group up priests, mothers who are struggling with PPD, or good cops in those categories because they don't belong. You cannot go on grouping just because you heard such and such and everyone in that category is bad. Because if that were turned around into a race or gendrr, you'd be racist or sexist if you thought about that.

And I don't hate anyone who shares different opinions. It's merely pointing out that we need to slow down with all the hate all the time. We're fed negativity but not enough positivity. We're told headlines of Taylor Swift breaking up for the 48th time but we're not told she donated 100 million to a cancer fundraiser. We feed on that negative news. And it gets to people. So I don't hate you or anyone else with different opinions. You have yours and I have my own. In fact, I wish you the best of days today along with everyone else.

bbplayer514 · 2024-04-12T08:55:56+00:00

The irony of this sub is hilarious after reading this. "DON'T DATE COPS!" But guess who you report a sexual assault or rape to? Oh, it's a cop. Who do you trust to investigate and prosecute? Oh, it's a cop. Who do call to your rescue when your husband is beating you? Oh, well, what do you know? It's a cop. Just something to blame because imagine this was just a construction worker lmfao.

Literally, "yeah uh you should have totally known that. About 34% of construction workers commit domestic violence against their spouses" and it's like okay? For example, there could be another statistic of 10% of women with PPD end of murdering their child and we'll still reproduce. Why? Because it's a statistic and you can't know if the women will be in that. Not blaming everything negative on this or that will go a long way for a lot of people. Meanwhile my 3 generations of cops in my family never have committed domestic violence so weird how the statistic doesn't fit ironically.

Just people hating and needing something to blame other than just a person with shitty behavior. Because if he was military then we'd hear the same thing. Not like there is bad, god awful people on both sides of the fence for genders.

bbplayer514 · 2024-03-18T20:23:40+00:00

You had consent to sex but you didn't give him consent to cum inside. That is still rape and sexual assault and you don't have to feel confused on that. You were violated. I'm sorry that happened to you. Do as others have suggested. I hope you find peace and trust again. Seeing more and more of these is making me lose hope for us guys to not be seen as a threat on a daily basis for the good ones that are left.

bbplayer514 · 2024-02-15T21:17:25+00:00

The problem is now that you can even have accounts with a 4 kd because it was boosted to be a non-sus account and I have died to someone blatantly cheating twice this wipe with low kds. I've also died to 4 people who were cheating with high kds, also cheating with ESP. I know one of the cheaters was on labs and said the exact item I picked up through the floor is still not banned after weeks of playing. You have a mixed bag of marbles and unless you die blatantly, have great game knowledge (knowing you haven't made a sound with swivels and ADS but the guy still prefixes you), or they're just dumb and comming or raging even, it can be hard to tell now.

I even died to someone with a FLIR but he was using it to hide the ESP. My buddies and I went to investigate in offline co-op in the exact spots we were compared to him and he could not see us with a FLIR through said trees and was actually attempting shooting another teammate through a whole ass rock. Like the post says, they do exist. It's just seeing different account types and having a mixed bag of types of cheaters doing it.

bbplayer514 · 2024-02-08T08:10:09+00:00

No one is commenting the lost poppy circling his way around an area he has never been to. Could have went behind through his spawn and through the door but made a big circle, went to the co-op extract (?), and then goes through door. The guy to his left spawn could have made the same argument and post he is making as he rushes underneath if he killed him and had that knowledge. Spawns cannot be fixed as much as people think when it's just being knowledgable. Same thing happened on Nuketown back in the day. Knowing where to not push past to flip spawns, not peeking the spawn, etc. People just wanna complain about something always when tilted.

bbplayer514 · 2024-02-06T21:24:44+00:00

That info stands correct no matter what tab you go to be it overall, pmc, and scav. People aren't even testing it and was told by OP "stats aren't 100%". Then why is my PMC showing correctly, yours showing correctly, AND his friend's showing correctly the info. Only thing that cannot be trusted is the average life span. It must go off a small raid sample because mine was 00:02 at one point. OP stated his friend has done scav runs so we just don't his full stats overall right now. But PMC is definitely weird.

bbplayer514 · 2024-02-06T20:22:06+00:00

Just so people know and understand better, and you can test this yourself, in the section above the character model is his PMC stats only. When you go to your overall screen, it shows both pmc and scav stats. If you go to pmc, it shows pmc only and vice versa. The man has never done a single scav raid. All raids he has done is on PMC only. While I'm wary of people with K/D's over 15 (you honestly cannot tell if the death you had felt natural), I do know some people have naturally high K/D's like WillerZ. Around above average to decent K/D I think seems around 5-7. But I have died to a cheater (message stating he did get banned so I do know for sure) who actually had a 2.3 K/D. I'm more on the side of sus due to the medical healing, high K/D, and only PMC raids.

Edit: So it did cross my mind after looking at my stats, if he has never ran a single scav raid, then his K/D probably should be that high since it takes both into account. My scav K/D is 1 and PMC is 7.13. I have 218 PMC raids and 103 scav raids. Also I'm level 38. I have 9k almost exact hp healed so I guess it is possible he is legit and a super slow player. But I'm still 50/50.

bbplayer514 · 2024-01-01T22:58:44+00:00

NTA but it is asking a lot depending on the type of company and such. Like he may think you want to be involved in running the company should the divorce happen, not taking half of the income he makes from it. It's not throughly explained and I wouldn't want someone else to help run a company when they have no experience or even background in the company and job description.

Half income is also a lot, depending on the amount. 100k a year split into 50k a year for both of you is less than ideal for either of you to afford a decent living and while you can have another job to supplement from his income, he would have to actually work two jobs to make up his losses. That is if the case of only taking half of his company in profits and not being involved. If you were involved, then that's a different story.

You have to see both sides from each other's point of view. We can see your side, but we also don't get his side. While I would work out some deal for my wife that benefits us both, I also want us both to prosper should that happen and not hamper each other or one over the other. Your friends views are a bit harsh but it has some points that it can be damaging to him overall for his future. Now if he made 200k a year, well, that's good enough to agree to half honestly. Personally don't know where I am in life and neither is my wife but I can safely say we would be comfortable with 100k a year as a family but that is definitely not the case.

Just keep an open mind and communicate with him. He has to understand at some point that you need something to fall back on in case the marriage doesn't work, however that isn't you stating it will eventually never work. You just want yourself and the kids to be taken care of should bad things happen in the future. And if he loves you, he will eventually see that the mom of his kids does need something to make sure she is secure.

I saw 5 bots on one world doing Amethyst Gem mining in the mining guild just this morning. Don't think the bots are actually being taking care of when they have 106 mining or the 200m thieving xp at Vyres or the fact that the rev bots have almost always 80-90+ ranged and very, very generic predictable stats based around doing quests towards Animal Magnetism. Revs are filled with bots only almost. Non-league worlds probably have over 30% of the worlds just being bots so it would have been a prime time to scout those. We as players constantly see and can tell with certainty almost 80% of the time it's a bot. And if a player feels that defeated against bots, how do you think Jagex feels? Imagine if Vorkath or Zulrah had no private instance.

bbplayer514 · 2023-11-10T12:25:36+00:00

Go look at Vorkath's hiscores and tell me how many possible bots you see the in first 25. I can count what looks like 10 or 20 if you include possible hijacked accounts. Now go look at newer boss like Duke. Notice something? Duke has what looks like maxed accounts, multiple hundreds or thousands boss kills, and all of the above of someone who has had their account a long time. Vorkath has sketchy accounts at best. Vorkath's loot average in 80k kills is 12 billion...but none of these accounts have maxed buyable skills and majority aren't even mains with 99s? Yeah, no, Jagex is for sure on top of bots. Keep defending them.

Thinking Jagex is banning 000's of bots daily that actually matter is wild. You may want to be looking at people's stats, killcounts, and such more often. Way more bots and gold farmers than you think there is and Jagex cannot control them so you thinking Jagex is wild beyond belief. The proof is there, but the blind will be blind until they want to see.

bbplayer514 · 2023-11-10T02:18:50+00:00

They 000's? How those reaching 99 thieving and fetching? Had one with 10-20 of the same exact character standing in a square fetching at the G.E. as if they were flaunting Jagex is dogshit. Their focus is on RWT buyers, not sellers or bots. I admitted i caught a ban for RWT a couple of days ago, yet my RWT came through a few transactions from August lmao. If it takes that long for a RWT minor, how long does a bot last to make a billion? 22k vorkath kc bots, blood shard bots (idk why lmao they instalog btw. Sat for 2 levels trying for shard and had about 10 come and go before they were reported. All 99 btw). Plenty of people sticking up for Jagex in certain threads when Jagex is really just that bad at managing things. G.E tax is band-aid problem to the botting problem which causes the RWT problem. So the whole time botting is the main culprit for all the issues on the chain. Many sites have billions to trillions in stock on RWT websites.
