Dire_Wolf Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 TITLE: Changed Topic: DAS I don't why this system that is so messed up is something Jagex uses but i am frankly tired of it. Yes i died, but this is not the first time and i am not the only person who keeps items that's totally garbage and looses items that is worth alot. It takes time to earn for example 10M, and alot of players work hard to obtain that much. But then when you have a bad item like Regeneration bracelet which cost 300K and you die... If you have a Saradomin sword (6m+) then you loose it. I keep losing Fire capes again and again, and i am quite honestly fed up. It's one thing to die and loose items, but another to die and loose the most valueable items. When i died recently i lost: Rune defender (Has no currency value, but i value it alot) Fire cape (Over 300K Value) Dragon boots Helm of neizinot What i kept: Mystic robe bottom Farseer helm (as hard to sell as Phat) The death system is messed up. Even when dieing when you keep items that's valueable you still loose a big amount of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compfreak847 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 *sigh* I take it you died and lost something valuable? Sorry I haven't been in the CC lately, I did 4 days of hardcore questing to finish WGS and slay demons, and it's very hard to talk while doing so. That being said, I am SICK of the duplicate threads on items lost upon death. As per my responses on half a dozen of these threads, before the GE, high alch was the only value that applied, and even if they change it now it presents quite a few problems - what about untradable\quest items? I don't want to keep 1 GP over my crystal bow simply because it has a market value of 0. Additionally, it would throw the market into chaos - the price of all armor sets is based upon what is lost and kept.

Zaaps1 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 But you should know that where ever you go, you take the risk of losing those items. The simplest solution would be to not risk those items. But I understand why you are angry. I think the reason why Jagex does not want to change the system is because then the items kept on death would just fluctuate too much for their liking. To me, that seems the reason closest to the truth, but either way it should be changed. And what would you have if Jagex changed it to reflect GE price? You'd still lose the defender and fire cape. Btw, phats aren't hard to sell anymore. Tons of buyers on the forums. ~It's Super Effective!

Or even better, stop getting yourself killed. I have died more than 5 times, over and over.. Do you see me making a thread everytime i die? No. So i am not crying, i am ranting over a system that is stupid. So if you can't understand, stop posting. But you should know that where ever you go, you take the risk of losing those items.

As for my fire cape and rune defender, they are the ones i loose along with expensive items.. So i really am not getting back any of what i want: 1) The items i love (Defender+cape) 2) Expensive items *sigh* I take it you died and lost something valuable?

I understand that you know alot about this, but you should understand things can be improved.

The "worthy of discussion\backing up" means you have to show that your idea is a good one and worth carrying out - something that you have utterly failed to do, as all of the proposed solutions have irreversible flaws. See this thread for details on where the guidelines emerged. By your logic, I could post saying that no one was rich enough and a billion GP should be dropped every time any monster was killed. Of course, it would completely ruin the game, but that's Jagex job, right? Just because my post has no logic whatsoever behind it and has no possible solution doesn't mean I can't post it!

Zierro Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 SirHemen doesn't need to state the obvious. Although it would clear things up a bit, it's not 100% necessary. Jagex has a brain and they can infer that a player saying, "I hate when I only keep items that the game dictates are more valuable than the items I truly find more valuable," means that there should be a way where the player decides what is more valuable in the context of Items Lost on Death as opposed to what the game dictates.

There's a reason the death system is the way it is, and it involves a large corporation knowing more about the game they programmed then one angry person who died and lost his stuff at a place where he was well aware of the inherit risks thanks to the many safeguards and methods to determine items lost and elements of danger :| 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...

Not only has hemen specifically said he has no clue how to fix it (viewtopic.php?f=66&t=791116&p=6593814#p6593726): "I don't got a solution", any of the proposed solutions would have drastic repercussions that would affect far more then a few people who forgot to check their "items kept upon death" chart. I'm afraid it's not obvious to the rest of us, as no one here has posted it or demonstrated an understanding besides you. All sarcasm aside, I would appreciate it if you would tell us what you believe the solution is, as I for one (as well as the OP) am not getting it. To be honest, I don't think there is a system that would prove flexible enough to replace our current one, but just because I haven't thought of it certainly doesn't mean there isn't one.

Mischlings Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Someone said that the problem with pre-selecting is that if you get an armadyl hilt, you might lose it to, say, a granite shield. Here's my idea: pre-select the three items you keep on death, but you can change them on the fly. Example: I go to solo Bandos and choose to protect Tassets, Karils top, and Godsword (not optimal equipment, I get it, just bear with me). Before I go, I rank the three items: Godsword Tassets Karils top Then I go and got a hilt drop. When right clicking the hilt, I get the options "Keep-1" "Keep-2" and "Keep-3". That makes that drop your #1, 2, or 3 protected item, pushing the rest down one. That way, you can select the three items and adjust them on the fly. I'll work out the kinks in it when I have more time for the flaws to be found.

Adding 3 right click context menus to every item is going to vastly clutter the screen; items with multiple uses will fill half your inventory when right clicked.

I would consider having something you can turn on/off like the Assist on/off at the bottom of the screen (not sure where to put it) -- if you have this option toggled off, the Keep-# options wouldn't appear in the right click menu. I'd add the Keep-# to the equipment page as well. I came up with this about two minutes before my last post, so it's imperfect.

compfreak847 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Adding 3 right click context menus to every item is going to vastly clutter the screen; items with multiple uses will fill half your inventory when right clicked. And it's certainly not idiot proof; plenty's the time I've forgotten to pray or even pick up my drop after receiving something good, and it would be quite frequently overlooked to protect my specific items. And what about worn\equipped items? Adding 3 more menus will almost triple to total size of the right click menu, making it that much more complex and cluttered. Usability and appearance must also be considered for an update. I would consider having something you can turn on/off like the Assist on/off at the bottom of the screen (not sure where to put it) -- if you have this option toggled off, the Keep-# options wouldn't appear in the right click menu. I'd add the Keep-# to the equipment page as well. I came up with this about two minutes before my last post, so it's imperfect. I appreciate you pointing out the flaws -- maybe I could make it into something that works. It's an interesting approach that I hadn't considered, but I'm still not convinced it could be done effectively withotu cluttering up the screen, and there would be countless rants from people who forgot to protect very high ticket drops - I know I would be one of them. As it is, the very valuable drops always have high high alch prices, limiting the damage. And thanks for accepting the constructive criticism :P 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...
