Harder to Kill Things Now

[canadiansmurf]

Has anyone else noticed that it takes longer to kill things now?

 

My hit's seem lower than normal.

 

I've factored in luck, however a string of 5 zero's in a row when I have 99 strength and attack? It's not acceptable.

 

 

The good part is I seem to be eating less food, however slower kills is annoying.

I don't really see why it would be any different...Everything was just multiplied by ten...Your health, the monsters health, and your max hit...

That's what I assumed, but it's different.

 

Just try killing things you will see.

 

I automatically take the 0's off my hits and the monsters hits on me, and comparing it the old hitpoints there is a difference.

 

I don't appreciate that it actually takes longer to kill things now. This is even more obvious when you are attacking lower level monsters.

 

 

Plus it is incredibly annoying to see 0 hits. Especially when that was given as one of the reasons for this change.

[Vulxai]

Hmm, I'll have to go out killing tomorrow, seems kind of pointless to make it tougher to kill the monsters.

[Saunamajuri]

Why can I kill everything at the same pace as normally then?

[Youmu]

How is Luck "Fail", first of all? This adds in risk in the game, which adds to the challenge.

 

Also, everything is just multiplied by 10. There shouldn't be too much changes.

Its a lot better now. Before you hit 39.9 and it would be rounded down to 39, now you hit those extra 9 points. Yes you get hit small numbers more instead of nothing. But since your hitting more you kill them faster and should therefore take less damage.

Yes it looks scarier and like your taking more damage, but in truth your actually taking slightly less.

[Guthorm]

I see no difference.

[Kalafai]

I see that it's harder to subtract the splash from the running hp total in your head now... I now can only go by the green/green/green/red/red bar (NO! the 12 pixles in the upper right is NOT enough)

I have recently finished a slayer task and the monsters i killed seemed to drop dead just as fast as they usually do !

Yes, you are taking slightly less damage per monster you kill, but you will be killing slightly more monsters over any given period of time, thus the end result is over any given period of time fighting monsters you will take slightly more damage overall.

I still kill a black knight in the same speed to me. :-?

[Obtaurian]

It's statistically impossible for anyone to be killing things slower than before. Your hits are no longer rounded down, therefore you hit higher than you did before the update.

[quelmotz]

Coincidence and chance = RuneScape's failure? Seriously.

 

Don't blame a recent spate of bad luck on an update.

[Bladewing]

Observer bias: the update is strange to you, so it feels bad. You feel like monsters die more slowly because your mind thinks it's bad. You recorded no data. It is IMPOSSIBLE for you to kill more slowly because the mathematics will show that you actually deal more damage.

In other words, your mind rejects the fact that it is now faster.

 

I can kill tzhaar slightly faster now since the poison does 69 damage and normal attacks do slightly more damage than usual.

[Saru Inc]

Surely sir, you are wrong. I hit a 335, when my previous max was a 33. So my max hit has been increased by at least 300 points, that is a HUGE increase.

 

 

Do you have cataracts, cuz you can't see the truth staring you in the face.

[Harakiri]

There is absolutely no change to the pace of fighting monsters. I don't understand what the hell you are complaining about. Maybe raise your strength, attack, and defense level and you'll be able to kill whatever is giving you a hard time?

[Youmu]

@ everyone who says there is no change: YES THERE IS.

 

Before: You hit 10. If it was 10.1 to 10.9, it automatically gets rounded down to 10.

After: You hit 100. If you hit 101 to 109, you hit that and get more exp for it.

 

So quit thinking it's harder to kill things now, because this is supposed to BENEFIT.

 

And like Ratchet said, raise your levels if hitting is such a problem for you.

0mfg i have 99 att and str i must never hit a 0!!!!! neva eva Its just not acceptable :wall:

 

if anything i thought it would be faster as instead of hitting 10.7 you would now hit 107

Please stop using apostrophes to pluralize words. It is so stereotypical of someone whose points have all been disproved.
