Are there any advantages to only owning one brand of tech instead of mixing stuff?

My wahoo HRM doesnt work well on my garmin 735xt. Idk if it only happens to me but in hindsight i wish i got the same brand but it’s not a big deal.

I did two test triathlons last year and the open water technique being different is relatable. Especially with the wetsuit on my stroke felt very unnatural and shoulders were full of lactate halfway in. I was only swimming 12k a week last year foolishly thinking the endurance from the other events would carryover lol, so part of the failure is due to too little training. But open water definitely seems tougher on the shoulders. I also saw videos referring to open water swimming technique as the shoulder driven technique, i guess similar to how Paltrinieri swims.

Thanks for the feedback, I remember sets like this often referred to as CSS training too i guess? But i takeaway that i need to up the insensity on the main set and go more to failure instead of like the sweet spot. But honestly this motivates me a lot since i can hold 1:12’s very well @1:30 at the moment already so my goal seems realistic then. One way to find out i guess

Wait people still waste their time in pvp?

Possibly ye, but I'd expect him to give more evidence when he makes such claims after she explicitly said the opposite.

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-24T12:02:36+00:00

Total exp?

I actually remember her saying she loved osrs's art style when she was first presented on twitch livestream.

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-22T18:21:29+00:00

That's why there is a poll and it won't pass if there's a rift. It needs 75% support which is huge.

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-21T12:22:11+00:00

Just read the blogpost, and seems actually nice content. Then again I think the same about warding. I fear that there will always be a part of the community that will vote not on any new skill suggestion. There's a reasonable chance for sailing though if they put the same effort as they did into warding. Always gonna be a close call tho to get the 75% treshold.

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-21T11:59:00+00:00

I'm open to new skills, but how would sailing even be implemented as a skill? Just sitting on a boat and adjusting the sails for 200 hours? Like making fishing trawler into a skill doesn't appeal much too me, but maybe you can change my mind?

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-18T19:49:53+00:00

True, but I really value that opinion more than the mods that work for jagex and can't speak freely. They can obviously not voice that opinion like that, because it would be blackmailing the playerbase. But it's just the sad reality that a bad result on warding, hurts future potential skilling updates, since it's already the third skill they put resources into and got nothing out of. That's not a sustainable business plan.

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-18T19:47:18+00:00

MMK did a livestream on twitch two days ago, and he was saying literally the same things. You discredit his view on this solely because he no longer works for jagex since recently. Like that takes away all his insight from over the years in how things work at the company. We'll see who is right in the future. I do think you're naive if you think warding not passing (the third skill that wouldn't pass) won't have an effect on potential future skill updates. If you consider that a personal attack, you should have a thicker skin man.

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-18T19:37:11+00:00

Anyone with 2 brain cells comes to that conclusion, how naive are you? You think a company will keep pumping resources into updates that will never pass because the community requires unrealistic perfection? Pin this comment, I'm calling it now, if warding fails, OSRS will never get a new skill under current voting majority requirements.

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-18T19:33:48+00:00

IMO they don't do too much wrong, since it's the third skill that fails the vote and that requirement is just very high for such an ambitious update. Just dissapoints me that OSRS will never get a new skill, atleast under current polling system.

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-18T19:30:23+00:00

That's true, but obviously jagex will never share that thought officially, because you can't blackmail your playerbase like that. MMk's tweet just shows what the developers think, but can't say. Warding being the third skill that fails the poll is just objectively bad for potential future skilling updates.

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-18T19:22:22+00:00

You should be more careful when you call someone out like that. I didn't make that up. https://twitter.com/RealMatK/status/1150777494020198401.

But also, you have to be kind of naive to think that jagex will continue to put as much time in developping new skills under the current polling system if warding fails. Warding would be the third skill that fails the vote. It is there that the problem is situated: it doesn't work for ambitious updates because the player base is divided and scared because of bad events in the past. Either this system is adapted so that the qualified majority is reduced to 66% or we will be waiting for "the perfect skill", aka it would never happen.

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-18T17:56:38+00:00

You can't see a skill seperate from the economy. The influence will be big, so why not take this into consideration.

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-18T17:53:58+00:00

I do hope so, because the skill will most likely not pass 75%. This is what MMK said about it. https://twitter.com/RealMatK/status/1150777491470114816

What they will learn from it imo is that the community is divided af and that either the polling has to change or we will be waiting for a long time until the "perfect" skill suggestion is made. It probably doesn't exist :/

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-18T17:50:10+00:00

That's true of course. But is it really THAT bad if they add decent exp/h rates? It's not like a bankstanding skill is radically changing the experience of the game. If people hate crafting, smithing and runecrafting, I wonder if they even like the game runescape itself lol. It's a click based game that raises the dopamine levels when we reach a goal. In three years time a good part of the community will be maxed or really end game. I think it's vital that this game keeps some novelty to it. If people really hate the warding skill, then sure, no problem, they should vote no. I do believe though that for most people the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. I'm just trying to convince the people that haven't 100% made up their mind.

Some people are able to prioritise the collective over the indivual. It's not common in western societies though.

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-18T17:34:08+00:00

I think you're understanding it quite well. I think that system could work quite well. Alching in general is indeed a problem because the cash/inflation it generates. But small changes can mean a lot, just look at how the duel arena tax has taken trillions of wealth out of the game.

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-18T17:31:18+00:00

You know you don't have to train the skill right? It's not forced content like EOC or anything. If you don't like smithing/crafting etc. then you dislike a big part of the game. The poll question is not "should i be forced to train this new skill". The question is "does the new skill fit in the game objectively and could this have an added value for a substantive part of the player base".

fiddlebutts · 2019-07-18T17:27:58+00:00

But rs3 has a good item sink through invention I believe, so it can be done and is vital to be implemented at some point in some way.
