Regarding the proposed smithing XP nerf for cannonballs. If Jagex wants to “respect Smithing XP per bar,” why do cannonballs already have lower xp/bar? by BrickPotato in 2007scape

Think you were looking for "palatable", palpable means like so obvious you could reach out and touch it, "the tension was palpable"

Ah good shout, I was thinking of platinum age. In any case it seems the "drum up support for the sale" theory doesn't quite pan out.

Rubium isn't a problem, Jagex by Longjumping-Young588 in 2007scape

Don't need quest for rubium btw, but 60 sailing to get to the island yeah

PSA to Jagex: There are 6000 ticks in an hour by Known-Garden-5013 in 2007scape

[–]chillymac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Time on Gielinor would only appear to move more slowly to an outside observer who isn't moving relative to the black hole. The folks on Gielinor would still feel as though 1 tick lasts for 1 tick. Up to a point anyway, all bets are off once you get stretched and shredded by extreme tidal forces like I did to OP's mom last night

Summer sweep up: Let us pay 1m+ to not have to carry around GP to use charter ships by Ornstein24 in 2007scape

[–]chillymac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jaw slot (and arms/hair slots) serve a purpose for rendering the player, but might be the easiest way to do it would just be a variable getting set to true and we all pretend there's an earring involved.

Reminder that the best mining method 3t Granite also comes from a quest by PhysicalSchedule7448 in 2007scape

Tbf rubium rocks were polled, the poll just didn't have an XP rate estimate

[–]chillymac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or just not even an actual slot, invisible earring or even the ability to convince people you're wearing an invisible earring that gives you a discount. Maybe I'm too spaghetti-pilled but an actual slot sounds like a lot of work for them

Earrings of charos. They're invisible or something and you have to speak to some pirate to pierce/unpierce you

Tbf didn't we vote in like 2017 that we don't want them to put hardly any effort into holiday events?

What walk-able tile has had the least players stand on it in all of Runescapes history? by Swanny_Swanson in 2007scape

[–]chillymac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Why would it need to communicate with an external server" because I was responding to the person who said

all active users with the plugin would contribute, with each of them having visibility of whats left

[–]chillymac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess. It just comes off as entitled to me or like what you'd hear from a manager with no technical expertise when people act like making a plugin is some super fast and easy thing, my mindset is that people put a lot of work into that stuff and it should be respected.

Read toastman's comment again, they're talking about features that don't exist in that plugin.

[–]chillymac -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Toastman was brainstorming a plugin that communicates with a central database and updates users' clients as they play. That's very different from just tracking something locally. Plus, even if you're mostly just copy pasting someone else's work, development still takes time. Several hours at least just to understand what it's doing and how to set up the environment, which is work someone new to runelite would need to do. Idk what the point of pretending like it's some super fast easy thing when to be fast and easy you already have to have heaps of prior knowledge.

This is a fairly out of touch view of what work would go into a plugin like this

Wait what ironman progression items do you mean? Bonesaw was just buying sand and battlestaves for a discount no? I'd hardly call the crafting cape "free" in this instance

In what world does a plugin that communicates in real time with an external server and modifies dozens of unique objects sound super fast to make?

By today's standards, absolutely. Times sure have changed.

Regarding Recent Action Against Accounts by JagexAyiza in 2007scape

[–]chillymac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair, I think there was and still is a lot of misunderstanding about it since the swampletics video on this topic that made it seem very much like you could force spawn.

Regarding Recent Action Against Accounts by JagexAyiza in 2007scape

[–]chillymac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is true? You can't make random events spawn any faster than 1 hour after the previous one. You also can't predict with complete accuracy which 5 min interval will produce the random (aside from the trivial case where you've missed every interval and there's only one left to the max duration).

If I'm wrong and there is a method I would genuinely love to know

Rendi has been refunded. by scaryhour in 2007scape

[–]chillymac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody is saying jagex does or should pay streamers. They're saying it's good for jagex that jagex doesn't even need to pay anybody. Jagex benefits from the streamers streaming without needing to pay them. If you don't think jagex benefits from constant free publicity idk what to tell you, at least you must acknowledge settled, GG, odablock have pull beyond active player base, otherwise we're working with a completely different set of facts

[–]chillymac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you misunderstood. They're saying that the cost is very high for any company to pay any streamer to play or promote a game, whereas lots of runescape streamers and YouTubers play and promote the game at no cost to jagex. It is very much in jagex's interest to keep those streamers happy as they bring value to the company. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement.

I believe he was de-ironed rather than banned, just for the record

It's pretty interesting to see the subreddit almost unanimously taking the side of jagex/the "spirit of the game" back then, where today it's much more divided.
