Urza285 514 Posted November 9, 2013 I watched the BTS an hour ago, and can't watch it atm, but from what I recall (correct me if I'm wrong) he said 'it doesn't degrade to dust. It's essentially an upgraded DG shield.' which I gather to mean that it has the same degrade mechanics as the DG shields.That is exactly correct and has already been said.It would be good to assume that the shields would either require a gp cost to repair or the use of malevolent energy to repair.

BloodAngel 175 Posted November 19, 2013 The (long awaited) Sirenic Scale drop buff and rebalancing the Chaos Giant drops should be in the next update. Let me know what you think! I wonder what they're actually going to do with Chaos Giants, can't make them any less appealing I suppose "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale."

Urza285 514 Posted November 19, 2013 I'm excited for the shard drop change coming...Yea, just remember that thats probably delayed till next week.I'm aware, but I'm interested how shards might be unevenly distributed. I guess an 83m torva plate split 7 ways might make a slightly odd number. Would jagex trunkate it or let one or two players catch a slightly larger chunk? That might not seem to be a big issue really as 83m/120 is roughly 700k per shard. On the other hand I think seismic wand is like 2.3b right? So its shards should retain 120th of its value. With a 7 man team that's roughly 21.7m per shard. That means each player will get 368.9m and that lucky oddball guy will get 390.6m. Frankly all in all its an amazing coinshare update. We WILL be seeing players whine if they aren't the 'lucky' player to get the extra shard or if the system automatically trunkates things. The next question would be if jagex has a mechanic that automatically puts that odd shard or so in the GE to sell and dristribute the cash via the old coinshare method.

Wkw 452 Posted November 19, 2013 Why don't they just have a larger number? 2400? That would work..It goes evenly into 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 10 12 15 16 20 24 25 30 32.

Not 7 9 11 13 and 14, but I can't imagine groups being that largeI would imagine that they have a slightly short sighted view on this. We have to remember their scope of mass bossing is around 10 players. They'll probably chalk those oddly divisible numbers as variation for dedicated PVMers. They probably thought players would feel more special to have received that odd shard from a new high end boss worth 21m or so extra.

If you wanted to add more options, you'd have to go up to 840 first (x7) because you'd want to cover teams of 7. The next stop is 2520 (x3) to cover teams of 9 as well (remember you were already divisible by 3). 2520 doesn't split into 11 without remainder, but 27720 shards seems like it would be a bit much, no? You have to draw the line somewhere, 120 is fine. It's easy to see how many more shards you need without a calculator, that's worth something as well.

Quyneax 988 Posted November 19, 2013 Windows mouse keys let you move, but not to a predetermined location on the screen, nor to a predetermined set of pixels. I'm pretty sure that the 'particular area' refers to the 'predetermined' part: you're not allowed to define any specific place/environment the mouse is to jump to. A regular mousekey jump requires no information about the destination - it just moves.
