brave Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Has anyone else noticed an increase in the number of randoms since the latest update? I have been killing Catablepons in the Security Stronghold. In 3 hours I have got the following randoms : 3 x Scaperune (balloon animals) 1 x maze 4 x MOM puzzle cubes 1 x Freaky Forrester 1 X Leo the grave digger 3 x Drill Sergeat Thats approx 1 every 13 minutes. Perhaps I'm just unlicky. :wall: However can this be some sort of record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Yeah, today I was alching in Edge and got 3 Freaky forester and a mime in less than an hour... But then again, Edge is always haunted. :uhh: "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Me_Hate_Libs Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I think it's just you. Over 5 hours I got just 3 randoms, 2 WOM giving me stuff, i.e. kebab and 20 gp and got a Genie.

Kashi Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I think they have, and I think I know why, too. Have you been to F2P lately? It's absolutely riddled with bots. There are hundreds, literally hundreds of LV3 yew cutter bots in every world. Every yew tree has its own set of about 10 Lv3's woodcutting, and every time the tree respawns and they start chopping, about 50 random events appear immediately. It may be an attempt to reduce botting on free world. My greatest ambition is to kill every member of the human race.However I am a realist and therefore know that I probably wont be able to.

Abyssalwhip Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Yeah every time I buried a bone for space at Iron drags I ALWAYS got an event.

brave Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 It seems that some people are agreeing with me. However, I've just had a thought. It appears that those people. like me, getting a large number of randoms are those who are doing the same thing over and over, eg me killing Catablepons and Nick_6464 continuously alching. So to those people who are not getting this apparent increase I ask one question - were you doing one thing continuously? I also agree with Kashi that it could be one method Jagex has implemented to try and discourage macroers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skill_Caster Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Thats actually good for me, maybe I might get my first drill sargent in my 2 years of playing :o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 So to those people who are not getting this apparent increase I ask one question - were you doing one thing continuously? I've also noticed that...always when I'm alching (which takes 2 seconds per alch, very short period of time) I get more randoms than say fighting since the time to kill something is longer than alching. I'm guessing the more 'actions' the more randoms you'll get. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Jys Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I think there's been an increase too. When I got the mime event today, I saw about 3 or 4 other people there at the same time. (I'm NOT exaggerating.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trecool9897 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I reckon they could have bumped it up due to their new macro killings lol. In 1 hour of falconry in hunting I got over 5 random events -.- Thanks Lil_Atza for the sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithril_Max Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 i think it has increased cause today i got Freaky forester (full leiderhosen ftw!~) Camo random (already had full camo -.-) evil bobs island (never gotten before o_O) bunches of Puzzle cubes and strange plant...

halo2_rocks7 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I think you're right. When you do something that's continuous, you get more randoms. I was attempting to lvl Cons, and like every 5 minutes I'd get a random. I think I got 2 Genies, 1 Twin, 3 Rick Turpentine, and 2 quiz in like an hour and a half. -.- Although I can see why they did this, it is quite annoying for us players who don't use macros. Thanks Jason321 for the sig!^ Proud to have served the Tip.it Crew Drops: 2x D Chain, 1x D Legs, 2x D Left Half, 1x D spear, 2x D med (monsters), 5x D Med (Barrows), 4x D Axe, 2x Zerker, Abyssal whip x1, 7x D BootsBarrows items: 55 (not counting the meds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
