barrows "safespot" bug

[TheWilch]

well i dont know how many of you here barrows, but i can asume a good percentage of you have been there. well latley thats all ive been doing for the past 1-2 months because its such a huge profit for a higher lvl. ive been hitting barrows constantly with veracs and karils. meleeing most of the time unless i hit ahrim.

 

 

 

well latley somthings been bugging me. i see alot of people in barrows and i see coooountless ways to do it and diffrent tricks/tips. but somthing ive been watching has really been asking for a topic.

 

 

 

ever see some 1 ranging, maging, or halbreding a monster or brother in the middle of the room, with an invisible safespot??? Shocked

 

 

 

well latley ive been scouting out people that do this, and there replies to me about it are "yeah its where the ladder should be" ... well no...the ladder should be where you came from? it seems in the middle of everyroom, since your ladder can be randomly put anywhere it acts as a invisble safespot. so my question to you is, isnt this bug abuse? to the untrained eye its a typical room you run through to get to your chest. but it seems people are always taking advantage of things.

 

 

 

meh, this isnt directed towards mages or rangers inspecific either (notice i put halbreders) and if you use this method... how did you even find out about it? dont u feel guilty using an invisible part of runescape lol.

 

 

 

this isnt anything new either i presume, i just never noticed such a large amount of people doing it. really annoying

tbh i find nothing wrongwith this.. its there because if you ever try to open adoor and you do puzzle wrong, doors, and ladder changes. Jagex is totally aware of this and so far they have done nothing!

 

 

 

personally: the safe spot has saved my *** many times and has saved me loads of food

The ladder spots are fixed in every room, and only 1 of these appear visible to you when you enter the tunnel. To the game, there is a major difference between Not existent and not visible, this is a case where the above holds. The ladder, regardless of whether it is visible to you or not, will still be there in the game, and because its there, it is impassible, hence being able to be used as a safe spot.

 

 

 

It is merely a game mechanic, and if one really want to fix it, the only way to make it is to make the barrows tunnel exclusive to every person, and considering the popularity of the minigame, will put a heavy load on the server.

 

 

 

Making the ladder passable will create more problems as people will start reporting barrow brothers appearing inside ladders as bugs.

:D TY chenw i think that was a better answer then jagex could have came up with, thats really all i wanted to know was why this was like that.
