Miner_Guy Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Quite alot of people die in rs because they lose connection while fighting. So we need a way to protect our runescape accounts, but it has to be something which people can't abuse. The best solution was by "heavyc1". Best solution: No. While it would be nice, there are just too many ways to abuse it. Correct me if I'm mistaken (back up with evidence), but there is no way to differentiate between pulling the cable and disconnecting. In my opinion, there should be an "Emergency Prayer" or "Emergency Food" slot. If you disconnect, it will automatically put on the selected prayer or eat the selected food. That way, you're using up the Prayer Points or Food you would have used anyway. (Maybe to prevent people from auto-eating by unplugging, the AI wouldn't be very smart. It would waste 1-5 HP for every piece of food, for example.) [hide=Location of Emergency Prayer and Emergency Food]Emergency Food and Prayer will be located in the "worn equipment" interface. Emergency food and prayer will be located between "equipment stats and "items kept in death". They will be 2 separate buttons. The "emergency food" button will be to the right of "equipment stats" (centre left). The "emergency prayer" button will be to the right of the "emergency food" button and to the left of the "items kept in death" button (centre right). [/hide] [hide=What Does Emergency Prayer and Food Do?]When the black box comes up saying "Connection Lost- Attempting to Reastablish your character will use his or her's "emergency prayer and food" if an npc is attacking him or her. The type of prayer you have selected to be your "emergency prayer" will activate. If your hp level gets below halfway you wil eat your "emergency food" your character will eat his or her's "emergency food" in order, the order that you have selected in the "emergency food" interface (the "emergency food" setup, read "How does Emergency Food Work" to find about it) When you have killed the npc or have died you will log out. But if another npc attacks your character the whole process will start again. When you log back in the "emergency prayer and food" will reset. You will need to set it up again.[/hide] [hide=How does Emergency Food Work]When you click on the "emergency food" button. A screen rather like the trade screen (but with out the trade limit, accept and decline button etc) will come up, one section will have the food which is in your inventory, the other section will have the food you have selected to be your "emergency food". (emergency food screen) There is a reset button in the centre of the screen, my pc for some reason won't make it show up though When you click on a piece of food, it will disappear from the "emergency food" section and appear in the "Selected Emergency Food Section" section and your character will eat that first. So if you want to eat a lobster first and a shark second you will have to click the lobster first and the shark second, so you click on them in order. If you want to change your "emergency food" then you have to click on the reset button (bottom left of the screen) and you choose your "emergency food" again. (emergency food screen, with selected emergency food). There is a reset button in the centre of the screen, my pc for some reason won't make it show up though 2nd[/hide] [hide=How does Emergency Prayer Work]When you click on the "emergency prayer" button. A screen rather like the trade screen (but with out the trade limit, accept and decline button etc) will come up, one section will have the prayer you can use, the other will have the prayer you have selected to be your "emergency prayer". (emergency prayer screen) There is a reset button in the centre of the screen, my pc for some reason won't make it show up though You choose your "emergency prayer" by clicking on one of the prayer icons (the section which has the prayer icons that you can use). The prayer icon will disappear on the "Emergency Prayer" section and appear on the "Selected Emergency Prayer, You can only use one prayer at a time, if you want to change your "emergency prayer" then you have to click on the reset button (bottom left of the screen) and you choose your "emergency prayer" again. (emergency food screen, with selected emergency food) There is a reset button in the centre of the screen, my pc for some reason won't make it show up though[/hide] [hide=How does Emergency Food and Prayer Reset]"Emergency Food" will only reset if you bank, eat (of course it won't reset if you have lost conection and you are using your "emergency food") or drop the food you have selected to be your "emergency food", or simply just click on the reset button. "Emergency Prayer" will never reset unless you click on the reset button. The only other reason for "emergency prayer and food" reseting is if you lose connection and your character will use his or her emergency prayer and food, when he or she logs out, the "emergency food and prayer" will reset and you will need to set it up again.[/hide] Here is the new signature thank you to:hawkxs.

From now on can you post if you support the emergency prayer and food idea and or Omali's idea which is the better solution (from the two below, Omali's idea and heavyc's idea). The solution with the most votes will be the best solution. Jagex would have to implement a system to tell when packets are no longer being sent from the client, as right now the game has no idea that you've disconnected. Those who have disconnected will know that the game does not disconnect you immediately, as it still believes you're sitting there at the computer. You have to wait until your character times out in order to reconnect. I think an easy medium would be, upon disconnection, your character is sent to the abyss network (Or whatever it's called) until the player hits the "play" button after he logs in, where he's transported back to where he was. No potting, no food, no way to abuse it that I can see, aside from maybe someone pulling their internet connection and having a higher level friend clear out the area so they can get away. No. While it would be nice, there are just too many ways to abuse it. Correct me if I'm mistaken (back up with evidence), but there is no way to differentiate between pulling the cable and disconnecting. In my opinion, there should be an "Emergency Prayer" or "Emergency Food" slot. If you disconnect, it will automatically put on the selected prayer or eat the selected food. That way, you're using up the Prayer Points or Food you would have used anyway. (Maybe to prevent people from auto-eating by unplugging, the AI wouldn't be very smart.

sephiroth_king Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 "OH DARN! I'M DYING FROM THIS REV!" *Pulls cable* I have made my point. Then they should have a system where it can sense the connection being disconnected from the internet, and usually if you pull the cable it would take longer for it to reestablish connection, whereas connection loses would come back pretty fast.

Yomyth105 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 It can easily be abused... agreed. just click close. i think jagex actually fixed this. before if u lost connection u would just die immediately, but now u "fight" the monster and if u survived it u log out safely.

Miner_Guy Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 i support, but it shouldnt count for BH......people dissconected themselves, and just wait out the penelty or w/e Ye i did say in the post that it shouldn't count in pvp games. Read it next time please. This could be a solution to stop people abusing it: A player is only allowed 1 or 2 "protections" (if you lose connection the npc will stop attacking you and you can safely log out only once the box with connection lost-attempting to reastablish comes up as said in post) like every 2 hours in gameplay or 12 hours in real life. So that players cannot abuse it and people with bad connection don't have to fear if they lose connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willboyer1 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 so every 2 hours you get to be protected? what happens to the people who lose connection more often than that? and this just means that the system is abused less frequently rather than actually stopping this potential art of cheating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
