Jolly-Folly Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I hate how people purposely search for even the tiniest thing that isn't 100% perfect. Seriously, they are random. Just let it be.

truffoo Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 There is a logical explanation for this. Random events are NOT random because of when they appear. Instead they are random because you never know what one will show up. True, certain actions are tied to specific events. You will NEVER get a troll event if you are alching. I am fairly certain that there are codes for when an event is to show up. However there is very little coding for what one to show up. Hopefully this will end the discussion. Btw, I have NEVER gotten the Pious Pete and the Treasure Chest event. :cry: I agree with this. Since I started RS (2 or 3 years ago), I only had 3 mimes (still needed gloves and all 4 emotes). Since I wanted to complete my mime set, I went random hunting. Over 2 hours at the minotaurs (burying bones plus ranging) in the stronghold, I had 3 mimes, along with a huge number of others. By the end of the next day, I had completed my mime set. You get to the point where you say, "Next bone I bury will be my next random". It's the same with cutting Willows at Draynor, you get to the point where you are expecting a random any second (pity the Ent counts as a random ... that's just annoying). Certain actions in certain places have higher random chances, and the random event randomly chosen is based on where you are and what you are doing, weighted (e.g., 4 ent options, 1 tree spirit, 1 evil chicken, 2 sandwich ladies, etc) and then 1 is randomly chosen. My impression is that there is a 'stand-down' time after your last random where you won't get another one, but an earlier post may indicate otherwise. For truely repetitive tasks, it looks like a 15-30 minute window between randoms.

MrBowser Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 What Jagex needs to do is make a quest that will give you something, I dunno, maybe a ring, or an amulet, or just an action, that when worn/activated, you can no longer get randoms. Perhaps, as well, some sort of device that can make you "random", so that you can get more randoms. Personaly, I like them. Except the ones that destroy my tools... That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gemof innocence inside of you that makes you wantto believe that there still exists a right and wrong,that decency will somehow triumph in the end.--Lise Hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmyk Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 You get randoms by doing repetitive actions, it's mainly random what you get although you can predict when you will get them as certain skills give them more than others Proud Retired Council of The GladiatiorzClick here for our website - 110+ F2P Combat Requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe, I saw a rl pic of him in a gold party hat! he's very royal :P Anywho, I think the main point I was trying to say was there is a chance it is not a feature Jagex programmed into the game! It may be a cleave feature that just..... happened! to add more on topic, some areas seem to be very randoms prone too.... the bottom layer of the strong hold of security is VERY prone to kidnap randoms, and apparently so is alkrid bank.

atronic92 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 The same happens when I kill blue dragons. After about 10 minutes of dragon slaying to fill my pack I teleport to Falador, and almost every time I get the teleportation matrix error random event. Free rune ftw.

flying_death_bombs55 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I hardly ever get a random event. I don't know if its just bad luck(or good luck in this case) or there is a key in doing certain things that activates the randoms programming and makes them appear faster. When you mentioned the Dragon Plates I had a sudden vision of a load of gangsters running around in fancy dress yealling "Grim Reaper in da hood!"

meili Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Ah one of my friends who is a somewhat notorious rulebreaker claims that he gets more randoms than normal people. I was skeptical but when we trained together side by side, he got 3x more randoms than me. He says Jagex tweaked his char so that it would get more randoms because of his many black marks. Hmmm I am not quite convinced but he really *does* get a lot more randoms than me all the time. The Runescape Wilderness - Meili's Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nenga Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 We know randoms are not realy random. Jagex has also increased the rate of randoms while doing anything. Every time you come out of a bank booth you get a random. (and I still can't get the mime to come. [ only got him twice in all my years of playing runescape.] Ponies!

JimmyMcNabb Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Mainly every time you do an action you have a chance of getting a random. Alching gives more of a chance of a random, and the longer you go without a random, the higher your chance of getting one. So it used to be a surefire way that if you alched while in egg form (inable to get randoms while an egg) after 10 minutes of alching if you go back to human form and do one alch, you would get a random. thus leaving it to the conclusion they're not random?

stephen7771 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 random events are meant to catch autoers or bots so if the server thinks u r a bot they will random event u so therefore they arent so random after all. read the knowledge base people lol. my mind went blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaper88888 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Since when were random events really random? The fire giants ARE evil, I've once gotten 3 shades and 2 gravediggers in about 5-7 minutes. What fun. :roll: There is no meaning or truth in life but that which we create for ourselves.

JordanGM Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Yes, I still think that it is random. But sometimes...it's just natural to think for a litle while that it isn't random. But they're, that's why they're called random events :). But for sure you can think about that discussion :P I know english isn't your first language, but for the future, they're means "they are" and "there" means what your trying to say. And 'litle' is spelt "little". :) On topic, I don't think that randoms are random lol.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chariot Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Every time i train at the Stronghold of Security, i get about 5x the normal rate of randoms.
