Eeeeediot Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I would think the databses - especially the Bestiary and Items DB - would be quite popular. Calculators too, as people would be using them repeatedly unlike the Guides and Atlas which might only be visited now and again. No chance of the staff releasing some site stats about how meach each feature is used? Even relative percentages would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Is it just me or is the poll not showing up on the main page yet. Now it's up I chose the calcs as I use them alot. Edit: Now it is, maybe i'm just too fast to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadmaker40 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I had a hard time picking just one. I really use all of them. I chose the calculators, since I use them a lot. But I use the fairy ring map a lot too. Currently working on 99 smithing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallen_snipa Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 i use most likely the calculators like the combat or ranged calc, but sometimes i read the guides too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 The reason why very few people will choose the maps on Tip.it as the most useful is because they've passed their sell by date a long, long time ago. I think the maps aspect of Tip.it is the area of the website most in need of repair, really is stupidly difficult to use, especially with Fairy Rings.

Karmastocracy Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I think that there should have been an option for the Tip.it Times. It's so unique, and I always love reading it every week. :) Guide to Everything Fletching XBL: Karmastocracy[stumbleupon]* Sits on a mossy rock with a notebook in hand, observing the behavior of the specimens dubbed "Fanboys"~"Even when the odds are against you, even when the chance of victory is bleak and your situation looks hopeless, take a look at the horizon, and think back to what you have learned.

nadir Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 when i do a quest, i look at the quest guide, and i find very usefull the maps, the quest guide and the monster guide. when i skill, i use alot the maps (dungeon maps, faery ring adress list), the bestiary (for slayer) the skill guides, the item database. i find them all very usefull in equal amounts. i use less the calculators, but i still use them. i really can't vote :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brave Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 The reason why very few people will choose the maps on Tip.it as the most useful is because they've passed their sell by date a long, long time ago. I think the maps aspect of Tip.it is the area of the website most in need of repair, really is stupidly difficult to use, especially with Fairy Rings. Most of the maps (dungeons etc) are reasonably accurate and easy to use. IMO the Fairy rings map is perfectly OK, however it is time that the world map was dropped, as it gives no real added value over the "Official" map. As for the poll I have not voted. I wanted to vote for all three databases as I use each one on a very regular basis (although I do try to do Quests without using the database).

killordie18 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Personally, I can't stand the quest guides that Tip.It makes. I prefer quest guides in single, step-by-step instructions. For me, I love the calculators. I picked that because it is really what makes Tip.It a good place to visit. They're so easy and helpful to use. I especially like the max hit calculator and combat calculator. It surprises me how many people voted quest guides to be honest. I don't like having one sentence take five minutes of game-time to complete. I prefer: 1. Talk to some guy 2. Go to this place 3. Talk to this guy guy here etc. etc. etc. etc. Tip.It's version would be: Talk to some guy and he'll tell you to go to some place where you'll talk to another guy. I know that this is just my opinion, but to me this is Tip.Its weak spot. I also know that it would be way to much work to rewrite them into a more user friendly (in my opinion) format. Thanks for the calculators! ^^ Spreadin' da wurd ^^I'm old skool baby ;) *looks at join date*Current amount of years playing Runescape: 5.5 On TIF: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshadow Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I use calculaters and planners all the time to see when I am going to get to my goals of 70 mining and smithing. Heh, I will need to do 8k more steel bars after I do my 8k to get to 70 smithing. See! I am a tip.it calculate addict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrington Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 My choice isn't on the list lol.... the forums lol. After that it's probably the skill guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentinew1 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I, too, wanted to vote for more than one thing. I ended up voting for guides, as that is the primary thing I use here, but I also use the maps & the calculators & the bestiary...you get the idea. As for the guides, I use all of them, not just the quest guides. As for which area should be worked on next, I would have to vote for the maps. At least make the interface on how to find the one you're looking for a little more user-friendly. Personally, I don't actually know what country I'm in half the time, or what continent. What would be really nice is something interactive like the fairy ring map, but instead, you can click on dungeon or quest markers to get the map for those.

elmo_killer6 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 My choice isn't on the list lol.... the forums lol. After that it's probably the skill guides. Forums is what I was thinking too... Oh well I guess I'll have to say the clacs which help with training and whatnot. That or quest guides cause I can't solve puzzle to save my life and I'm not huge on questing anyways. Oh well, I guess I'll have to decide and then vote later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosebuster17 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I mostly use calculators. They're very useful. As for guides, I'd prefer to help making them rather than reading and spoiling some fun. For example I have once and for all stopped checking Quest Guides and I don't go there at all unless I want to try to remind myself some quest I did and I don't remember anymore. Using them while doing quests ruins all fun. Other types of guides can be useful sometimes though. There are just some things Jagex won't tell me and you will. :P Oh, whole site is useful in general anyway. ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocanderson4 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I wish there was a choice called all. Because I use all of the features on a fairly regular basis. The various skill/general guides to help level or work on a quest. The quest guide to make sure I have the right levels/items needed. Maps to figure out where the in the world I need to go. Items/besteriay for the drops/items I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bludragon124 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Guides and calculators: I use guides more though, so I put that down. Noted raw mackerel drop... Wtfh?
