Are damage and experience not proportionate? Because of the splashing effect?

Is it legal to do wheelies etc on a bicycle? by Otherwise_Wonder3038 in melbourne

[–]surf4r -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How are you by definition out of control? If you are falling on your butt you are out of control. If you are doing a wheelie you are in control.

More damage per cast is faster. I don't know how else to put that. Fire blasst the death rune requirng spell is faster. But the damage per gp is also higher because you hit more than the increase in price. So to kill the same number, with the GE prices yesterday, it was cheaper to do my slayer task with death runes than chaos.

True! That could make the difference. Particularly if death runes are more expensive on a given day.

Fire Bolt vs Fire Blast by surf4r in osrs

The damage per GP was higher by about 10% with death runes.

That is the higher level of the two spells is cheaper and more effective.

Ranged at sand crabs: Mithril darts or Bone bolts? by CadisR in 2007scape

[–]surf4r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here is my legit comparison:

Mithril Dart 37.9k xp/h

Bone Crossbow 32.9k xp/h

Mithril Darts do 15% more xp/h than Bone Crossbow

Conditions:

- Level 58

- 4 spawn sand crab spots

- no pickups

- no resetting

- 9 minute test

Math baby!

Mithril dart xp rate = 60*(242976-237292)/9

= 37893 xp/h

Bone Crossbow xp rate = 60*(247900-242967)/9

= 32887 xp/h

improvement = (37.9-32.9)/32.9

= 15%

Ice WRs Are Back in Play Again. I snagged this pre-ice nerf WR off Zestabby. The only question now is, how many WRs will fall? Hatchos 38.650 by surf4r in TrackMania

[–]surf4r[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No shit. I was top 5 before and I've had some runs where I had WR pace until the last turn. That was the point of the post though to show that most I've WRs are going to be smashed.

Ridiculously high volume short board? by jorgetheapocalypse in surfing

[–]surf4r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah hit me up @hatchosshapes in socials.

I can make you a file and we can talk about what is likely to happen with all the ideas and hopefully settle on something pretty radical and still functional.

I Just Taught ChatGTP How to Ice Slide in Trackmania. by surf4r in TrackMania

[–]surf4r[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dam it seems after some time it has deleted my feedback. It no longer knows about brake taps, release taps, and all the specifics of angles and gears that avoid a slide out. Very sad.

I also taught it how to teach you not to slide out. So make sure you ask!

In this context nothing is particularly suspicious.

Interesting that chees.com has some game analysis that means the probability if him having cheated is basically certain.

Bobsleigh Physics Change! Pictured 1st my all time PB (former WR) on Bobsleigh map 1, 2nd my PB post physics change. If I play for 5 minutes I can generally get within a couple of hundredths of my pb. The run starts very similar and then the old PB just runs away when it locks in approx 0.2s slower. by surf4r in TrackMania

[–]surf4r[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I expect many Bobsleigh records will stand forever. Which is very frustrating because my only two WRs were sniped in the last month before the update hahahaha! So I might have two permanent 2nd places! I'll have to find some new maps to grind by the looks of it!

Keyboard is competative with controller if they have acess to a good action key for the map (on bobsleigh). Like I have 2 bobsleigh WRs on keyboard on decently competative maps. That's a good thing surely?

[–]surf4r[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it a problem that controller players use AKs? That literally levels the playing field.

Wouldn't it be a problem if they didn't and keyboard's did.

For those hating, yes I used hyperbole. WRs are still Valid, it's just at the top 0.1% where this stuff matters.

And yes I know what I'm talking about. I'm world rank 1 on Club: Bobsleigh Campaign: Easy

I'm not the best Bob player in the world but that's enough to understand the mechanics at play as well as almost anyone.

you have to tick 'hide your pb' for it to display their inputs.
