Random Events


DaOnLyJoSh

Recommended Posts

Have you ever gotten one of those long random events as you set your last out of 3 Net Traps down in hunting? (Example: Sergeant Damien, The Mime, Evil Bob, ect.)

 

 

 

Well, if you do, don't expect to get your traps back...

 

 

 

These random events just take too long to complete and get back to what you were doing.

 

 

 

Maybe JaGeX should remove these random event for skills like this, and just keep it to the quick ones.

 

 

 

Just a thought...

 

 

 

Discuss? :)

They have definately gone overboard to the point where they are causing large inconvenience to the normal, rule abiding player. I know what you mean, such mini games are infact ridiculuous and are far too of a common occurance.

 

 

 

Though dont expect anything to change, jagex current have something up their [wagon] right now about real world trading and gold farmers.

Uhh... They changed this many months ago so you cannot get randoms that teleport you while at the hunter spots where you lay traps.

 

 

 

If this actually happened it must be a bug.

There has been a large increase in the number of randoms, and how often you get them over these recent years. I remember back in early 2005 when the only randoms you would really get were the wise old man and a few others. :|

 

 

 

They can be a bit annoying, too. I once encountered five evil bobs in one hour; two of them being fishing, the other three (possibly the most annoying one :P ) popping balloons. I am grateful, however, that jagex appears to be cutting down on some of the old randoms, seeing as their purpose has long expired (stopping autoers).

By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it. Sorry, the sig links to nowhere :( .

the most annoying time for a teleport random atm is at the duel tourneys. it's happened a few times where there'll be 30 seconds left before it starts an i get a maze or bob the cat. there's never been randoms in the normal duel arena, so i don't see why there is in the tourney room.

I don't think that Jagex should remove any of the random events. They're a nice break from the skill, even though you can lose some equipment sometimes. But I think that Jagex should cut down on the amounts of them that you get. Not that much, but a little. Now you get them almost to fast, and that can be a little irritating sometimes.

I definitely think they should deinitely change this one, so that, for example you can't get randoms if you have under 1 minute of time left till your next tourny.

They actually already have done something about this, as when hunter first was released people kept complaining about this.

 

 

 

You may still get the occasional random thats too long to keep you from keeping your traps, but most hunters expect this and bring extra traps...

They should get rid of them all together. I'm sick of having to pay for a new pickaxe or repair it just because I looked away from the computer for a milisecond.

 

 

 

Oh no, i've just spilt coffee down me! Damn, I can't clear it up, I might get a random event!

Jagex should remove random events because they don't work. Any f2p world will show you that.

 

 

 

But if they did, a lot of f2pers will complain because they no longer have any good clothes. Camo, Lenderhosen, and Mime are the only good clothing options for f2p.

I've spent the last 50 or so gaming hours hunting red chinchompas.

 

 

 

I agree that the number or randoms is really high (almost as bad as when alching), but in 50 hours I haven't had a single random that teleports me away from my traps.

 

 

 

I get the pirate, genie, sandwich lady, MoM and Dwarf, but that;s it. Nothing that teleports unless I ignore them (and in that case you deserve to be teleported away and lose your traps).

 

 

 

So no gripes from me...

Good point, they do add a nice special touch to F2P in that way. Somehow though, Jagex meant random events to be purely for autoers (without much rewards initially), but Jagex really needs to be working on an alternative while still leaving those special items for F2p :)

Erm you do realise that capturing chinchompa's is one of the best moneymakers in runescape (when skilling)?

 

 

 

It's also VERY repetitive and thus easy to train a guy up who does it all day long in order to gain a large amount of cash in order to sell it for rl cash.

 

 

 

The teacher's class is actually a pretty good random in order to make bots stuck. (I said decent, didn't said an impossible to pass :D ).

 

 

 

O well, if they'd remove randoms while hunting you'd see an increase of chinchies being sold quite quickly afterwards
