ilovemurph2 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Think of this: your a little lvl 70 that has only 985k and decided to try your luck at pvp. You get a few ok drops that are 50k-100k, but really that only repays the costs of lobsters and addy arrrows. So after a few hours of playing, you decide to go to Fally. Because you know that quite a few people mine in the dwarvin mines have decent stuff, you go down. You see the usaul people with nothing but rune picks. But wait, whats this? You see a lvl 75 sucking up coal. The only thing thats diffrent about him is that he has full rune, and is, cant you belive his stupidity, skulled. You then make the assumsion that he has no food and go in for the kill. It turns out that you were right. He starts to run and when he has about 12 hp left..... you get teled to a radom event.:wall: Now to all of the rich and smarter (sarcasm) members, I know your thinking,"so what its only about 200k. Then I, the lowly noob, would say,"would you like it it if it was guy with full guthans? To the higher free player,"There went full sardamin." Now you that that its a little depressing. :cry: note: I dont want anyone saying,"you dont get what they drop", becuse I know that (i did have 26k). So, now that you know my depressing experience, please share you opions. (sorry for sounding like Dr. Phil) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compfreak847 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Sooo... You were unlucky and lost something from a random event? I think that belongs under http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=592018, or else we'll have to have tripsis in here for another sticky. Also, it's not like you missed out on much. The same thing as if you had killed someone with 25k. It's more of a 'lucky' story for the guy who DIDN'T die.

kingbrooks Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 R W T = their not gonna remove randoms at least now you got the choice of some naice exp or limpwurts :shock: Best Rubik's cube time solve: 27.81 seconds.Completed Facebook Tetris Marathon (670k score)2000+ total with 5 99's, fletching, cooking, attack, thieving and firemaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacTise69 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'm not sure why you are going to write off all randoms because of one instance where it didn't occur when you wanted it to. The reworked random system is vastly improved, with higher level players (i'm not sure if its everyone but i know I always have the option) getting the option of an exp lamp every time. This has made me love randoms, even when it was in the middle of getting 99 hunter when i saw someone log on and realizing that by the time I finished the random I was going to have my spot jacked. Either way I'd give it a week and you won't hate them anymore. Trolling by giving good advice since April 2011.

999134 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 this is a huge problem -.- in a f2p deathmatch the guy was 10 hp and i was about to range-2hand strike (he was out of food) and i get a random! Check it out, huge amount of effort has gone into this massive mod![hide=old sig][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Kurity Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 =S, i can understand if you get annoyed, but the "full rune" won't improve your drops at all, and removing randoms is NOT the answer, so there little you can do =S. O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moad14 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 So, now that you know my depressing experience, please share you opions. My opinion is that randoms are bloody fantastic. Each lamp I get is a trip and a half less through the Abyss to craft deaths, or I get snapdragons. Since a random event takes on average about twenty seconds, the reward is full of win. I love to meet people; send me a pm if you see me on RuneScape! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovemurph2 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 I know that all the drops are random and i am not saying that randoms should be removed. if they would stop them in combat that would be great. Also I was at the hotspot for a few hours so I would likely get something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compfreak847 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Umm, what? Stop randoms in combat and defeat the purpose. How else are AFKers and macroers weeded out? If your whining about the drop system, it's an entirely separate issue, but I've gotten a DFh before so it's certainly not underpowered.

Stonepilot Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Don't know about you, but for me I never, ever get randoms in combat. Usually about a minute after though. Hey, it's okay, just change in your 200k for 200 exp in Summoning! =D> Glad to know my homies are looking out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will H Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 There's probably some guy out there who now loves all random events because he was saved by one whilst being PK'd. :) I'm afraid it's necessary, and you have to admit, they are now far better than what they were before. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legilgalad2 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I prefer the random events as they are now rather than as they were. I seem to get less of them now but don't know whether this is a universal thing. Woodcutting does not raise your combat level because most people do not play as yew trees.

Actually, I think I was in a similar situation to the time he described... I was down to about 16 hp, no food left, I click tele and here comes molly telling me to save her from her evil twin... Worst part is that when you get done, you get tele'd back to the place you were, with the same amount of HP, you have to "click here to continue" and all the time someone could jump you...

compfreak847 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I literally just got a random. I was at demons. Killed one, got a whip. Got teled away to maze as I clicked to pick it up. It wasn't there when I got back. Slightly annoying.

John Halo Chief Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 maybe they could stop randoms in pvp? it would kind of make it hard to trade... although they still could in banks, although trade limit still stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compfreak847 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'm training in a PVP world right now. I wish they could, but all training areas would instantly be clogged with macroers trained to tele in case of a fight.

And please don't complain that people complain so much @@ I missed a whip because of a random. He missed 26k because of a random. I'm not whining. If I made a thread every time I lost 26k for one reason or another, I'd be posting half a dozen a day. If everyone TIFer did that, real posts would never see the light of day. Hence why whining about losing 26k for an unfixable reason is a bad idea :roll: Drops: 1x Draconic Visage, 56x Abyssal Whip, 5x Demon Head, D Drops: 37, Barrows Drops: 43, DK Drops: 29GWD drops: 14,000x Bars, 1x Armadyl Hilt, 2x Armadyl Skirt, 4x Sara Sword, 1x Saradomin Hilt, 8x Bandos Hilt, 8x Bandos Platebody, 9x Bandos Tassets, 4x Bandos Boots, 43x Godsword Shard, 82x Dragon BootsDry streak records: Saradomin 412 kills Bandos 988 kills Spirit Mages 633 kills - Slayer Sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peronix Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Ok, that's slightly unlucky, but I'm sure you'll have other opportunities. Look on the bright side - at least they're not nearly as rampant as before. I get them about 1/5 as often as I used to, and when I do it's worth 850 summoning exp. There will always be bad luck occurances in runescape. If it's not a random, it'll be lag. In fact, I'd be willing to bet lag causes many more losses like this than randoms. At least in the case of randoms you're relatively safe where you end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
