Flyingjj Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 The Dragon platebody does not give those bonuses. My Brother has one, and I just saw him put it on and off. It does not change the accuracy bonuses of Stab, Slash and Crush. It did at the time this Did You Know was submitted... It has since been changed... Sorry, I did not know. Anyway, I forgot to mention it was a good read. Well, unless this fact was submitted the day the quest came out and they changed the stats that same day, you have some fact checking problems. (See screenies somewhere between pages 28 and 33 of the While Guthix Sleeps update thread) As for the article, its not exactly a topic I'm completely enthused about. I don't take screenies unless I need to prove something, and that has been never. Videos, well... I've got no comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheefoo Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Besides the false "did you know", it was a good read. Well, it always is a good read, keep the Tip.It Times coming!

JRD111 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I enjoyed the read, but the person that did the "did you know..." is a bit of a noob. I have a few freinds that let me go on there account for a while when they have dinner or something. I went on one of them, and he had the dragon platebody. I wore it to see the stats. There WASNT any extra for accuracy for ANY of the crush, stab or slash. / Uhhh, banhammer much? #-o OT: Nice one caker, was a good read and a step up from the articles of the last few weeks. I still miss the editor though GT: JRD is AvT YT: hatethegamer Youtube has nothing on it atm, but getting HD PVR within a month, so watch this space.

Master_Smither Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Good read and he's right but I seem to be on the low end of the spetrum with my epic Ms paint :thumbsup: But going as far as saying the Dragon Plate is good for training is realy wrong considering there are alot of other armours that are cheaper and better.

skgbafa Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 pictures are much better to get a point across than vids becasue whenever im playing runescape, i can switch and look at a pic real quick (hehe that ryhmes) but i cant just sit there and watch a video or random comes and KOs me -If you've ever reported highwayman for killing you, put this in your signature.

green9090 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 How the HELL did that bogus fact get there? -The dragon plate doesn't have attack bonuses. -If it DID, it wouldn't be the only one- melee PVP armor has it. -If it WAS the only armor with attack bonuses, Bandos' strength bonus would still be far more useful, for a fraction of the cost. It's like somebody just randomly made a fact up and then posted it to the Times. And NOBODY NOTICED. Christ.

AndyPandy Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Inspired me to make this: So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth, These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf, Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in, Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything, Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel, Tear up the book and write your own damn rules, Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got, And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut, And realise that the other world that you're always looking for, Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door, And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas, After all, you were put on the earth to do this, So shine your light so bright that all can see, Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.

Is that like not reading the details of a thread where it is repeatedly explained that there was an update between the time the article was written and the time this was posted which removed the attack bonuses, but posting anyway without doing your own research? Like, for example, if by "fraction of the cost" you mean "exact same price" you would be accurate, since as of this morning D Plate and Bandos Chestplate have the exact same GE value of 11.5 Million.

I found the D Plate in the Knowledge Base as soon as it was uploaded, only a day or so after the release, and it didn't give any attack bonuses. There were pictures posted by people who bought and wore a Dragon Platebody on the first day, again, no attack bonuses... However, it's worth noting that +4 strength bonus can mean a lot, but it can also mean nothing. No one has a perfect max hit formula yet, although 4-5 seems to be the borderline for an additional point of damage. That means that it is possible that the +4 strength has no impact whatsoever, pending on your level and other equipment. Want to learn to Nex? The Nex Hunters are recruiting!

wab Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 VERY nice one :D something with dyk d pl8 thing is very fishy...sure some1 didn't tried to raise d pl8 prices? anyway, i use paint for pictures also, but very rarely. year+ ago while i trained for 70 agility i got lagg and putted while connection lost both friend list, inventory and show the look of character+bonuses togheter. result was for seeing few secs....lobs on my friend list and my stats (with nothing more then light things) +120 in all! :o +120 str, def things, atks can be achieved, but except my picture no1 have yet achieved +120 pray bonuse :lol: 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidium Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 the d plate has NEVER had any attack bonuses since the day it was released...probably some geniuses trying to price manipulate and get people to buy d plates after the plates started tanking heavily... :roll: no idea where the hell they got this piece of information from...and since it has already been confirmed that the d plate does not give any attack bonuses and is in fact a pretty worthless item (besides for looks and even then bandos is much nicer) you guys should update the "did you know" section instead of misleading people who read it. well this is truly one "did you know" that no one knows about...not even jagex knows this i bet :roll: maxed out melee on 10/10/08, current goal: 94/99 cookinglife may be unfair, but why can't it be unfair in my favor?my fake plant died because i forgot to pretend to water it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 This article was very well written. However, with no offense to the author intended I found it incredibly boring. What exactly are you saying here? Did you need to write all that just to say that pictures are better than videos? I'd like to see tip.it times articles that are related to issues in the game etc. This one didn't do it for me at all, I felt it a waste of time to read and wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. http://www.runehead.com/clans/personal. ... clan=tipit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leejjon Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I think we use pictures/vids to compare ourselves to others. The runescape highscores don't say anything about how good you are in the game. I'd even think you're dumb if you things like 99 firemaking because it's totally useless, not fun, and costly but that's not what this discussion is about. Things like show off your latest loot in pictures isn't enough anymore. It's fun to record your screen and show how you own your enemy's, put some nice edits, and your favourite song in it to make these things fun to watch. Then get yourself rated and get respected. Check out other peoples videos to compare your vid. Those things are a lot more impressive then experience points on some highscores that can probably be achieved faster by a bot.

Dereksmith3 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 good read, You don't take as much time to think about things when they are all answered. A pictures worth a thousand words, but you can't read them all in a thirtieth of a second. Think about those metaphors and hopefully you'll be inspired.

Lep Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I don't know how to submit something for the DYK part...but I have a good one. "Did you know that if you create a Bob the Cat icon in your Chapel in your Player Owned House and create the medium statues afterwards, then remove the Bob the Cat icon and replace it with Zamorak, your statues will become Saradomin while your icon is Zamorak? However, as soon as you leave your house and come back your statues will become Zamorak like they should have been originally." This happened to me in that exact way. If anyone wants to spend millions trying different ways or seeing if you can glitch it permanently, be my guest. :-# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
