Sy_Accursed Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I still don't get why Jagex takes pics in .jpg format, it's like they really don't know what they're doing! Because despite what people think they know with their ill-informed views that only have half the facts jpg is a good picture format.A high-res jpg loses so little quality its not perceptible to the human eye and is nearly always a smaller file size than a png.All good website devs and digital photographers use jpg (well photographers use RAW too, but that's not really an image format a such) Yes jpg has some limits, lower quality saves look aweful, can't do transparency etc. but all in all jpg > png when working online.

They shouldn't have size issues with their webserver, there's no reason for using jpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not about server space its about bandwidth and load time for users.Not everyone has blisteringly fast broadband. Besides I don't see any quality issue in them, yes the edges may be jittery but they never take screenshots on max graphics settings and the edges in rs are a bit jittery without anti-alias on.

So, you're saying that there are people, in civilized countries, who cannot afford to download a 500Kb TEASER IMAGE? If that's the case, they probably can't play runescape due to lag.It's kinda ridiculous that somebody would actually argue that teaser pictures should be of diminute quality in order to save a couple hundred Kb, when the loss of quality kinda defeats the purpouse of a teaser picture. You may not be able to see the artifacting in the picture, but I see it very clearly. Maybe if I take my glasses off, those 200kb worth of data will go unnoticed.

Quyneax Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 You will now stop discussing image formats. There is absolutely no need to.

civie Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Those Vyrewatch don't only look badass, they also look terifying! So far as the minigame/activities update goes, I hope we can select Talon Beast Charms as a reward (in very small amounts of course). That would be awesome (and probably totally broken).

Den Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 No Game Update Today Hi all, Just to confirm, the update is planned for tomorrow. This is due to several reasons such as extra RC time needed and the implemented coldfix last week. In order to get a better insight in to how we organise game updates, we suggest that you read our Upload Manager's blog which can be found here. Thanks.

essiw Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 What does RC stand for?

Sy_Accursed Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 What does RC stand for? (except for runecrafting of course wich made me lol, like they are bussy rcing) Release Candidate. They code updates in isolation then when they are in a raw form (eg no graphics or dialogue or sounds) they go into the test servers.The test servers are running runescape updates that we won't see for months - years in various states of completion and are the first wave of play testing and bug testing. Once content is completed there and reaches launch week it its copied to the RC server; this server contains ONLY the current game + the next update.Here they do the last minute tweaking and bug testing (as a code from something tht was on test server might of been used by mistake thus breaking content etc)Then RC server is what then sends out updated game data to all the game servers.

Dudecrush8 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'm so excited for the Vyre quest. Its my second favorite series to the WGS series (if they ever make a sequel <_< ). "300 programmers make their futile but glorious last stand against 1000000 angry players in The battle of Misthalin. They fight for honor, glory and new content sacrificing themselves so that their game may live on. This is Madness! This Is JAGEEEX!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Gamer's Grotto could use a members area that teleports you to the games as well as games having closed off waiting rooms like CW. Then if you leave, you go back to the Grotto.
