DK's, sometime before RuneTek5 came in. I admit I rarely go boss hunting as I don't enjoy it that much, however when I do there will always be someone to bless my grave in the 0% chance that I die. Always keep your HP up, pay attention to what you're doing, and have a good internet connection. Obviously if you had a powercut then there's not much you can do. Most people that i've seen die in GWD think "oh they'll never hit that high on me", and then get splatted by a few hits in a row and collapse. Almost funny. Oh and if you're really messing up, use a house teletab. You can always start a trip again. Tbh with gravestones Jagex pretty much elimated any real risk in the normal monster killing game. What's the point in dangerous monsters if you can just run back within 5 minutes and pick up all your gear again. My friend did not bother to go back and get his items back though he had 5 minutes. Why not? Because he wouldn't get it back. 1) Time won't allow it (and if you don't have a back up GWD equipment in case of death your pretty much done for timewise) 2) When you manage to get back to your grave, how will you survive? Zamorak boss will really wreck anyone apart if they are after getting their items back from grave (If your alone) and getting items back at Zamorak is a huge risk itself. Saradomin boss will also be as deadly as Zamorak, Bandos less and Armadyl takes far to much time for KC. Also GWD bosses>Higher risk but also higher reward. So i do not see how Jagex elimnated real risk. KBD, KQ and so on drops very lame items. Even if you die and run back to those type of bosses i am positive you will have trouble. Less than GWD bosses, but still trouble

Do i have to have a solution? :huh: I have no idea to be honest, only Jagex knows what is possible and what is not. I just wanted to cast some light on this issue. Will_holmes suggested FAUX alchemy price for certain items

Speaking of malware: They are viruses that have as goal to use your computer to advertise spam advertisement right? In other words advertising in a illegal way. Just checking to confirm. And i assume it slows your computer down by doing so.

You mean that you should click menu (Menu=Items kept on death?), and see what you loose to fix a equipment right? I speak for everyone who have had major loss because of this which i call a flaw. Why do i say that it should be considered a flaw? Because many players work hard (Believe it or not) for their GP, and that achievement being taken away so easily because is wrong. 1) They loose alot items from other items (over 600K+ lost, i loose over 1M usually. That's me). 2) They loose also a extremely valued item because a cheap valued or worthless item has higher alchemy price. I find it unfair for everyone who have had this. Getting a item as drop is not unfair however. Everyone has the chance to get the drop... Same thing for this so called flaw, everyone has chance of getting it. It's rare, but when it happens it takes away a big chunk of value from a players hardworked GP. And you can't avoid it! Getting a drop - is not unfair because YOU can do something about it. Losing valued items (High priced/or time taking) because a cheap or worthless item with high alch price protects over is unfair. Because you can't avoid it if you die and you have this kind of situation. Also the fact and opinion thing, i am sorry about that. I just am so fired up and wish more people helped. It's really not fair from my view. My friend planned his equipment. Also second time he lost so much money at Bandos. So he does not need this kind of treatment again. He can't just stop avoiding boss hunting or risks... Game is to be played in a fair way. Noone should keep majority or all of their items on death, or even get the option to choose items on death. But the system should not let a high priced item or time taking item be lost over a low priced item.

That would make Runescape a lot more fun. No sarcasm intended, seriously. I'll second that. Or is that third? I'm sick of these people who started this game post gravestones, and think they should be babied by this game. There is absolutely no risk as of today when you die because getting back to your grave is so easy, and not only that but people can bless it. Guys, this will end the argument. Don't die. Simply don't do it. And once you have done it, I bet you won't again. Learn from mistakes, don't let a net catch your fall like the way it does today. Noone is being babied. Games i have played you often keep majority of your items on death if not all, but i am not saying that because i want same thing in Runescape. There is a flaw in "Items kept on death". So how about JUST simply don't post? Because noone is being babied. Even if the flaw is fixed you will still loose alot items... And quite frankly i am tired of people like you who keep saying "You should know there's a risk", "Plan your equipment better", "Gravestones make it easy as it is", and other stuff that has nothing to do with the flaw. Myself and friends have lost items in a unfair way through this flaw, and if you accept this flaw as a right/good thing then i suggest one thing MAKE the whole game like this. Because if it's supposed to be like this, then why not make the system more like this flaw?

I am just suggesting it needs tweaking to balance it out. Non-tradeable items takes time, time is GP - So they matter to. I suggest use of Faux price (Will_holmes is original suggester) Use of G.E - Throw it in Garbage. The system needs tweaking, not a big change.

Double post deleted please.

Lesson learned, check high alch value of items i am using at Armadyl and the drops boss drop. That takes time, but i learned the lesson. But don't come here and say just because Armadyl plate high alch value is lower than Rune platebody that we/i should go along with it. That's [cabbage]. It's a flaw. The current system is good except for the flaws of items that is so low priced or useless protecting over high priced item or hard obtainable items. Again by saying you should check the high alch price of items it means you gotta check high alch price of each item you pick up... If you find it okey to have to do all the work, good for you. But i won't. The system is not fine. My friend lost a 20M item (Which he have worked hard for) and keeps a 50K item. Non-tradeables are as valueable as tradeable. Time>Money. Non-tradeables>Time>Money. Using G.E as part of items kept on death is not suggested by me so i hope your not replying to me with that. The only thing i find bad by the system is one i have mentioned, everything else is good. Honestly you should know the risks of what you are doing? Oh how great, another stupid lecture. My friend knew, until he picked up a Rune platbody and lost his Armadyl plate. Expecting someone to check highalch value of items they pick up is not right. The reason my friend brought Armadyl platebody to GWD is because on "Items kept on death" it said that he would keep it, so don't tell me why he brought it. My friends lost Armadyl plate and Saradomin sword not me (Go back and read okey?). And how stupid, my friend who lost Saradomin sword was in PvP about to go to a bank and he never knew Onyx bracelet would protect over Saradomin sword. Are you telling me that my friend should have stopped in PvP outside safezone and check up the high alch value of Onyx bracelet? And what good would it be to check up the price of the item? "Oh that item is worth 40K but higher alch value than my X item so i will leave the drop on floor so that i won't loose my X item!" So much [cabbage] to be honest...Can't believe noone shares same view as me. I know the system is good, but the flaw i mentioned is unfair.

It's cool Joe. I made a similar thread once and people don't seem to be for it even though it's unfair. I don't always make a good first post, it's mostly later i remember what i should have put up in it. I am a little aggressive because it's about the unfair disadvantage the flaw in items kept on death has and i hope that people focus on that rather of other things like: 1) Items kept on death being based on G.E (I don't think this will work because prices go up and down making it be unbalanced). So i expected people not suggesting or talking about such thing 2) Plan my equipment. I keep hearing this so much i get annoyed. But do you agree or not Joe? Should the unfair disadvantage that i have mentioned, using my friends situation as a illustration good or bad from your view?

I agree and like that. But really unless we always click "Items kept on death" everytime we pick up a drop then we will have unfair times where we loose items we weren't supposed to loose. Seriously i am all for losing items on death but it's really unfair that even when my friend planned his equipment he lost his Armadyl chest (When planned he would keep it) because of a Rune platebody which he and i did not know would protect over Armadyl. Bad thing is...it was his second time losing Armadyl items at Bandos. But last time has nothing to do with this topic, just saying. EDIT: Just imagine this situation You plan your equipment after 10 minutes, and your satisfied. You have used cheap items so that you get to use Armadyl plate because it is good to use for ranging and you will keep it with the equipment you have fixed. Then you go to Bandos. You realize that dieing can happen as it's your first time to solo. So you go knowing you can die, but what you know is you will keep your Armadyl plate so your releived. Even though you will loose over 600K+ if you die it's okey if you keep your valued items. So you kill boss, and you are caught off guard when he respawns again. You think "Darn i died" when you get hit 54, but you also accept it. But then your surprised and shocked, Rune platebody (50K) is kept over Armadyl plate (20M). That's exactly what happened to my friend and it's really unfair.

Your right you can get KC fast at Bandos, but in most cases you won't manage to get your stuff back. My friend was off guard when he died so what? He was not off guard when it comes planning his equipment, he did that. He died because he was off guard. However when he died he accepted that, but never did he know a Rune platebody would protect over Armadyl. I find that a flaw in the game, and i have NEVER SAID (Everyone keeps suggesting it)that when dieing 1) You should keep your items or majority of them 2) That items kept on death should be based on G.E. However i have said: That certain items that are high valued should receive fax alchemy price so that their true value is considered when dieing. Now please, stop commenting or talking about something i have not suggested. If someone else have suggested a way then quote them so that there is no misunderstanding who the comment/post your writting is to. EDIT: Even i myself when i was using my Fire cape at PvP checked my equipment and arranged it so that i would still keep my Fire cape. Then when i picked up Farseer helm and got pked, i kept Farseer helm and lost Fire cape... Fire cape is a item worth over 1M, because it takes 2 hour and skills to get it. So though there is not a price on the item, majority can agree it should cost over 1M if it did. 2 hours of time>1.5M = Green dragons (Also count that when getting Fire cape you use alot supplies)

I helped my friend and we constantly changed items for Bandos so that he would keep the items that were most valuedable to him. We put up a equipment setup knowing that death could happen. So he went to Bandos and he soloed boss and got Rune platebody. He picked up the platebody and got killed because he was off guard. We thought "OK, he died...so what?", but then he kept a Rune platebody over Armadyl chest. He did exactly what you did...he planned his equipment. How could he have forseen that Rune platebody (a drop) protects over his Armadyl platebody? So what is your comments to that? Lemme guess your comments? "He should have planned his equipment". Oh wait, but he did!

How can someone all the time know what items to drop? And how can you drop a item in a boss room and get back within 1-2 minute? And how can you know your about to die?

I was thinking faux alchemy prices for certain items.

To everyone saying that i should plan my equipment, if i was gonna do that all the time i would have to click "Items kept on death" every single time i pick up a item. Because my friend picked up a Rune platebody, and i picked up a Farseer helm. But little did we know those protected over our expensive items... Also i am 100% against a game where we keep majority of items on death. But that you loose example Penance boots on death or a other valued quest or minigame item or...a very expensive item and keep the low priced or low valued items is messed up. I am "Arguing" because just as i expected alot people would say what i guessed they would say: Plan your equipment better ... Saying that we should have a game without any loss (Being ironic) There are flaws in the system...

And who have said here that they should let you choose what to loose on death?

So what? Just because you find it okey does not mean i have to... And as a matter of fact i checked my friends equipment.

To everyone saying "Plan your death", as a matter of fact we did. But then my friend got a Rune platebody from Bandos, and then he got killed and to our shock he lost Armadyl plate and kept Rune platebody. Also how can you get back to Bandos if your soloing with 5 minutes limit...? It's very tricky.

My computer is pretty fast. I don't have much program installed :) Just asked to help a friend. His computer is slow but he have not reported anything special. I was just wondering what the options to speeding a computer up is so that i could tell him to do those. Msconfig - I told him to remove ones he didn't use. System32 or Systemfiles i told him not to touch them. Thanks. <3 Laura

Hi-jack this test? What is that?

Flaming, spamming and non-relevant posts will be reported. Items kept on death is based on alchemy price of a item. It is a flawed system because often a low priced item protects over a extremely high price item. So have you experienced this flaw in the system? Then please mention it in this thread What is the goal/aim of this topic? To possibly create a change. It's not a rant, but meant to be constructive critism for Jagex. Discuss and tell about your loses because of the flaw. Friend 1: Lost Saradomin sword in PvP, Onyx bracelet protected over it Friend 2: Lost Armadyl plate, Rune platebody protected over it Myself: Lost Fire cape, Farseer helm protected over it Lost Armadyl plate, Fury protected over it. Have lost more but don't remember them well. Please no lectures about "Plan your equipment better" or "You should of know there was a risk" or "Boss hunting has a risk" Please no suggesting of basing items kept on death on G.E The flaw i mentioned needs to be tweaked only not the entire system.

By organizing disks you mean?: Disk defragmenter (That speeds it up right?) Disk cleanup (That too??) Cleaning of components: Thanks sounds good. :thumbup:

Bravery - Run in to battle, no weapon, no food, no potions, no armour, and kick/punch the thing to death. Wait, thats stubidiy.... Never mind. Yeah that's stupidty lol. Bravery would be running into a combat situation without any data/information. Imagine fighting a high level monster you have no idea is... It could be KBD, it could be Graardor or it could be Kree or a Mithril dragon (Just a high level example). Either way would you be brave enough to accept a unknown challenge like that?

Thanks alot, but it's a friend who is gonna solo :wink:

How do you access the place where you can disable them? My brother showed me but i forgot. Was it Drive>Config?? EDIT: Drive>Msconfig? Done that. Only thingi disabled was the HP update for a uinstalled stupid printer. Thanks alot
