Guest Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 hey people, I recently noticd while mining rune ore they very rarely give both persons that are mining a rune ore. It doesn't happen that much.... Anyone knows the game logistics behind this? Since I just saw myself getting a rune ore from a rock that had been emptied 0.5 seconds before that, :lol: it's not a bad thing, just a weird thing, and maybe does it happen because I am 99 mining? be free to discuss what might cause these slight errors :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3hitm4g3u Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I've had the same thing happen a few times on my new account with iron ore. It's happened like twice, not very often at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyderownzyou Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 it has to do with the game's timers on resources, or maybe lag on the server? It happened to me on mithril ores before now, and is highly unlikely it's caused by your mining level seeing as I'm under 70 and it happened to me a few times, although it is rare. You only live twice. Once when you are born and once when you look death in the face. Do not fear Death. Death is always at our side. When we show fear, it jumps at us faster than light. But, if we do not show fear, it casts its eye upon us gently and then guides us into infinity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadukar123 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 It's when you both get lucky and get the ore at the same time.

db300 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I don't have the level to mine rune, obviously, but it has happened to be before on coal. Don't really know the explanation behind it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Corner Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 The logic behind this is very similar to the "double ruby bolt special" event. Once in awhile on a team, if two rangers are attacking at the same exact time, and the both special a ruby bolt special at the same time, the game does not have enough time to compute that the monsters HP was lowered, thus both players hit the max special. So if 2 people both ruby bolt speced on a KBD spawn, they would both hit 48, doing a total of 96 damage. The same logic is for mining, or pretty much anything else that can be done with more than one person at a time. Your character tells the server it should spit out a rune ore at the same time as the other persons does. Your request gets there before the reply comes back that the ore is empty and thus you both get the ore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toad Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Just understood what you mean, as a player mentioned above it's similar to the ruby spec, it's just about chance of you both sucessfully getting the ore at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But good computer logic in the part where it mines the rock, it should check to see if its empty or not. Apparently, it doesnt, which means the check is earlier, so, this is why it happens.

toast647 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I have been mining iron with someone else trying to steal my rock. We both got it for like a whole inventory. With iron if you're like 40+ mining you get it in one hit, so because we got it at the same time we both got ores.

Armadyllo Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I think I'd like them NOT to fix this. It doesn't happen often enough to be a threat to the economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about getting an ore from a rock a second AFTER somebody has taken the ore. NOT at the same time. It isn't a big deal at any rate though.

Smackapotato Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I think it's cause Jagex knows how hard you're working Mauranius to get 99 pray and they wanted to help give you a little boost. EDIT - Signature far exceeds our sig limits but since it's so colourful you can keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imcleith Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Maybe a combination of both getting the ore at the same time and lagg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technologic Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Would it be possible for two people to kill the KBD at the same time and both get a drop? Real men get 99 str on cows 8-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technologic Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I wonder if it would be the same drop or different ones. Real men get 99 str on cows 8-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexek Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I don't think that's ever happened to me (except with maybe logs?) It's pretty cool though. Now I want to get a friend and continually attempt to mine ores at the same time and see if we can each get an ore. :thumbsup: PoetryIndexed Picture 1Indexed Picture 2 Killed my maxed Zerker pure April 2010 Rebooting Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 It just happened again :ohnoes: Ah well I can't complain, for the second time Iwas thinking: AMG they beated my 99 mining *joink* hmm 2 ore rock spawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_korny Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I can confirm that it happened to me with gold ore. Even got an extra ore because of my Varrock Armour 3. I've never seen Sixth Sense nor Inception nor many other popular movies and I intend to keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lagatag Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 This happened to me once that I know of, only because the other guy was a [puncture] and tried to gloat in my face how he got the ore and I didn't, but I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidd_Varrow Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 It's been this way for years. For some reason, your character continues mining for a second or two after someone else gets the ore, thus making it possible for you to still get it after they did.
