Blutters Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 How exactly does the amount of time you spend in a PvP world affect your drop chances? Does the time stay with you forever or do you lose it when you log out? When you log out and switch to a normal world? Is there a time limit that you reach, to where anymore time spent won't matter? How do non-hotspots compare to hotspots in these respects? If you die, do you keep the amount of time you've already accumulated? I realize that these are very 'mechanical' questions and that (probably) no one works at JaGEx here, which is why guesses and estimations are more than welcome...

compfreak847 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 No one has the slightest clue, especailly in this early stage of the game. Unless a J mod posts here, anything will be total shots in the dark. Hey, I can do that myself. How exactly does the amount of time you spend in a PvP world affect your drop chances? It makes them higher Does the time stay with you forever or do you lose it when you log out? When you log out and switch to a normal world? You lose it when you log out Is there a time limit that you reach, to where anymore time spent won't matter? Yes, after 65 minutes the time does not matter How do non-hotspots compare to hotspots in these respects? Hotspots let you stay only 33 minutes before your time no longer matters If you die, do you keep the amount of time you've already accumulated? No, you lose it. I think Jagex even said that Needless to say, I completely made all those numbers up. I've only been to a PVP world once, for about 30 seconds. But mine are about as likely as someone who has been there since the update. Prove me wrong.

It's like asking a random person how many atoms there are in the universe. They wouldn't have the teeniest, tiniest clue (At least, if they didn't have internet access).

wioneo Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Well I can at least answer the question about losing your accumulated time when you die with a yes, because all of the respawn locations are safe zones, and the timer resets in safe zones.

Obtaurian Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Physics major here. Completely off topic, but I should mention that the number of atoms in the known universe is said to be between 10^78 and 10^81. Roughly. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

Completely off topic, but I should mention that the number of atoms in the known universe is said to be between 10^78 and 10^81. Roughly. Yeah, it's assumed to be around 10^83 Meme, your forgetting that numbers grown exponentially. So if one drop of water is 40,000,000,000 atoms, add a zero and you have 10 drops - then 100, 1,000 - add 15 zeros and you have 1 quadrillion drops of water. So somewhere between 10^80-10^85 is about right - but the upper number is 10,000 times the lower one, indicating that we really don't have a clue.

Sam Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 It's hard to say at the moment as it hasn't been that many days since it was released. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
