Sy_Accursed Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Or... They could release a update when it is ready. Amazing concept I know. Of course there is always the factor that updates can appear ready and then when taken from a closed test server environment to a live game where players inevitably throw thousands different permutations of hardware and in-game gear at it something goes wonky. 3 Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is simply impossible to predict how something will act when you throw it in to the live in a game such as runescape.There are so many thousand upon thousands upon thousands of different system configurations and different combinations of items & actions that even game studios much larger than Jagex haven't /got a hope in hell of ever testing against all of them. Not to mention you can stress test as much as you like nothing ever compares to real genuine stress of users all over the globe putting server requests in to do with content. It is a simple fundamental fact of games like Runescape that plague even the largest of game studios and there is no away around - stuff behaves in unexpected ways when exposed to real genuine users no matter how well tested it is. Anyone who thinks you can hope to have nothing ever break when exposed to the live game and that it is flawed testing whenever something does break is deluded about the chaotic nature of how coding behaves when exposed to real users vs test environments and about how impossible it is to even come remotely close to testing things against the endless array of different hardware/software setups computers can have - and that's before you even consider the myriad of permutations of items/actions possible within a game like Runescape. Anyone one of which could cause a random breakage or function failure for reasons unknown. 3 Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone one of which could cause a random breakage or function failure for reasons unknown. I'm fine with some odd stuff happening that was seemingly unrelated to the update, or weird niche cases causing unusual bugs. I play League, that sort of thing happens over there allllll the time, and it's annoying, but it's really unavoidable, as you said. But when a basic function of the primary feature of the update doesn't work for most or all players (loot system during combat with revolution), that's a pretty big oversight in their QA process. And when that sort of thing happens over and over, it gets really frustrating. Obtained quest cape and base 92 before obtaining any 99s! Currently finishing out my 99s with the (long-distant) goal of comp cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss_Kozlov Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 And that's the issue that is always being defended and apologized for: the chronic update breaking, if not game breaking, bugs and issues found in nearly every update. "Hey guys, we added a few nifty lines of code to help with overly mobile fishing spots. Oops, I broke Smithing." Back after a 5 year TIF hiatus. Please don't mind me too much.

Fred_S Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 This kind of seperate box would be very useful for BoB familiars, but i find it annoying outside of the pvp aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze The Movie Fan Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Honestly I don't see how this feature is even useful. There is already an option of organizing items, it's called a bank tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceus Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The looting feature involves picking stuff up off the ground - nominally, collecting a whole bunch of stuff in one sweep. It doesn't really have to do with bank organization so much as gathering the loot you have earned from kills. Unless I'm missing something?

Maybe with this feature I can collect all the steel bars I get from steel dragons without having to click them five times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strilmus Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 more importantly, you can pick through a large stack of crap on the ground without having to dig through the right click menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze The Movie Fan Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 This loot feature is great, I collect drops much faster now. My only issue is I have to click "loot all" every time, there is no box I can check that says "remember". Does anyone know how I can make it automatic? Ah well minor issue. Now my goal will be done and over with much quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceus Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 You still need to click loot all to pick up the drops. It doesn't automatically harvest them into your inventory, at least for now.

Yeah I really don't mind, as long as I don't have to click the floor eight times anymore, that's all what matters. Yes, eight times, five steel bars, the drop, the charms and of course the dragon bones I bury right away. Having to click just twice is brilliant and makes the killing much much faster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wkw Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Blaze, if you get a bonecrusher from dungoneering, it will automatically bury the bones and you don't even need to pick them up. 2 Runescape player since 2005 Ego Sum Deus Quo Malum Caligo et Barathum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gang Sabre Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I take it back. Classic was hell, not smithing. Every one was fighting for xp. Meaning the Giants and dark wizards were camped by people seeking big bones and runes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
