Randoms more common after latest update?

Featured Replies

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?

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:

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.

4 hours of playing.. 1 random.

 

 

 

Its all random!!

21 lag piles, 4 Pjs, 2 Party hat kills, 67 newbs teached.

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.

x2 maze

 

x1 mime

 

x2 freaky forester

 

x3 old man

 

x1 scaperune

 

 

 

Never had this many before.

Your name is "bet you fail", and you're starting a business with your mom? I'm not even going to touch that.....

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.

Thats actually good for me, maybe I might get my first drill sargent in my 2 years of playing :o.

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.

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.)

yes i got 2 mazes in under 20 minutes between each other! then i got a freaky forester. TODAY.

pretty weird if you ask me, i didn't seem to get more randoms than i normally do while hunting

Don't Click This

774th to 99 hunting on July 16th 2007

Yes i have noticed it! I got the drill demon twice today after just randomly teleporting. and that was in the span of like 15min

prospektssigza4.jpg

went kbd hunting, 2 randoms each trip...if u ask me, its starting to get frantic.

LOL

 

just got drill demon as i reply to this thread!!!

skyeatsairplaneph1.jpg

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 -.-

chelseakb8.jpg

Thanks Lil_Atza for the sig!

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... (i collect the fruits weee)

 

 

 

EDIT: also every time i was -wisked away- for a random there was always 2 other people there!

I'm not complaining, I need to finish my sets. Kind of sticks I dont have any room in my bank for them all #-o

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!^

Barrows items: 55 (not counting the meds)

Perhaps I'm just unlicky.
unlicky... heehee :XD:

 

 

 

 

 

On Topic: I've been getting quite a few randomw lately too (along with everyone else in Edgeville, world 99 :XD: ), though not as many as you got. What you got is just scary :ohnoes: :uhh:

> SELECT * FROM users WHERE clue > 0;

0 rows returned

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

There are only 10 types of people

in this world: those who understand

binary and those who don't.

This statement is false.

$DO || ! $DO ; try

try: command not found

YES! like 3 drills today -.-

 

 

 

and at LEAST 15 normal randoms
