Smavey Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 So i was doing the new gnome cooking minigame and after about 30 minutes of doing it i had 4 loop hole half keys and 1 tooth half key. This is awesome right!? But something wasen't right, for some reason whenever i got a loop half, no message saying my award came up. I ignored this and went to the official forums to brag about my amazing luck! It turns out...loops holes are ridicoulously common for everybody! People have been gettin gin 80 trips 20 loop half, and only 1 teeth half! Now this is obviously a bug, because only loop halves are common, not the teeth. Eather it's a bug or with the new crossbow update jagex wants dragonstones to be really really common? So is this bug abuse doing this minigame? Has anybody else noticed this?

Aquashock Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 i dont think its bug abuse, i think jagex wanted the half keys to be this common, but they got a bug in how often they each appear. ^^Click For Monster Hunting Blog (180M+ in drops)^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirror Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Well with the cbow update I am not surprised there are a bunch of half keys shooting out and about, but with their being so many loop halfs and so little teeth halfs, I dont think we will be able to get into that chest still. Maybe they goofed or maybe they are messing with our heads. A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchkinmage Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I'd say that it's possible that they'll nerf it a bit in the future.. However, there's no way that they could call playing the minigame bug abuse, as long as you don't do anything that in it'sself causes more half keys.. It's their own fault for releasing it if it actually wasn't intended to give so many keys. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elucin8er Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Oh not bad, I was hoping something like this would come out. Those dragon tipped crossbow bolts look like they could just as well save range. I'm looking forward to snapping some dragonbreath onto those seemingly inpenetrable rune plates.

Kashi Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Obviously they made loop halves more common to stop tons of dragonstones from getting into the game. You can have tons of half-keys, but what good is it if they're all the same half? I dunno' about you guys, but when I get a half-key from a monster drop it's usually a tooth, and when I get a half-key from a random event it's usually a loop. Go kill some monsters or something and you'll see what I mean. My greatest ambition is to kill every member of the human race.However I am a realist and therefore know that I probably wont be able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to snapping some dragonbreath onto those seemingly inpenetrable rune plates. those won't save range. perhaps if the special was... well, a special and not random. msb is amazing because the specal can be used when it's perfectly welcome -- when the opponent is low hp and can't eat high enough. what's the point if your opponent is at 10 hp and you shoot a 3 and 4 or something while he eats to full? then you hit the 30+ that would've landed you full rune a couple shots ago? i just shot down cbows without mentioning speed. :roll: :ohnoes: give it a week prices down to 10m easy... month down to 5... :-k sum1 quote me on that and see in a month lol :ohnoes:-December 6.

Kashi Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Well whatever you have to say about crossbows, that's not the point. I think it's kind of funny to even suggest that a just because a mini-game's rewards are biased that the game could be bug abuse. Even if they found later that it was a bug, what could they do?! Ban anyone who received tons of loop halves? Even if it was a bug, it's not bug abuse. OMG! Doing PC is bug abuse because you get waaaay too much xp waaaay too fast! REPORTED! Sorry for the sarcasm, but c'mon. Change the title. I thought you were about to tell us some bug where you get infinite loop halves from one delivery. :?

SAGE Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 You may think this will help the range update the most but to be honest I think in the long term this will lower Nature runes from 350 back down to 300 per due to the lower cost of Glory Amulets and the more oppurtunity for those to Abyss RC.

toast647 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 i think loop halves are dropped more often, one time i collected a ton of them and got enough for 40 keys and at one time i had 35 loop and 15 teeth Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smavey Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hey yeah, well how do you explain that when you get a tooth half or any tip in the minigame a message comes up saying what you got, but when you get a loop half no message comes up? just i'll give you a tip and then that's it until you check your inv to see what you got. Anywayssss yeah I think it's a bug and doing this minigame in excess is kinda abusing it, but yeah it obviously doesen't qualify as "bug abuse" - something to get banned for 8-) . Just something to take advantage of before they tweak it? Even having a ton of loop halves this will still drop the prices of loop halves only, not the other half.

Dakine600 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I dont think this is a bug, I think its always been a part of the game. I keep all my half keys and if you look in my bank I have 10 loop halves and 1 teeth half lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkDude Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Loops have always been more common then teeths. Yep, so it's not surprising that you get more loops from this. But the ammount more you get than teeth is just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiddel Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 well i dont think its a bug...even if it is it isnt abuse. Ive killed well over 60k chaos druid warriors and i only get loop halfs, along with other monsters. the only time i have gotten a teeth half myself was once from a crystal key chest, and once from the gnome minigame. loops are simply more common. Which might be a bug, but not bug abuse because we cannot be sure its not ment to be how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
