sees_all1 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm sure most everyone who plays the Great Orb Project is well aware that Jagex sometimes can't count right - due to the fact that whoever wins the Air Altar wins the Mind Altar too, in the final tally. If your team wins the air altar, and stops playing, to restore run, take a break, or whatever, is this bug abuse? Seems to me that Jagex has dragged their feet on this one, and shouldn't penalize the players who recognize this. thoughts? 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will H Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 The Great Orb Project is probably the most bugged update in history. :| There's so many of them that it's not even surprising any more. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. V. Devnull Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I personally don't see restoring your run meter with the "Explorer's Ring" as being any kind of bug... In fact, it can lend to multi-round strategies, the likes of which would boggle the mind. Just when your opponent thinks they're going to be able to waste you, it's like *BLAM* in their face, forcing them to earn that win which they thought they would just have on a silver platter. If anything, Jagex has set up the perfect revenge against "bully/jerk"-type players. \ And BTW, what are you talking about, because I have never seen players getting altars for free. Every time I have played, the rounds always tally fairly, based on what happened in the round. Sure, the server is having to catch lag issues, but other than that, everything is dead-on. :geek: ~Mr. D. V.

Sorry, this isn't what I'm talking about. And BTW, what are you talking about, because I have never seen players getting altars for free Go to world 61, win the air altar, and then stop trying. If the other team wins the mind altar, read the text at the end of the game - You'll have an extra win you didn't earn. 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the other team wins the mind altar, read the text at the end of the game - You'll have an extra win you didn't earn. I'll go check this out and confirm if it is true... BTW, is this limited to only W61? I have heard that world has trouble with the strain of constantly running the GOP stuff. :-k UPDATE @ ~45 Min. Later...: You hit it square on the head... Consider the bug as confirmed... I saw the losing version, though... I was just in a round, it was 5 to yellow and 1 tied, but it acted like I didn't even manage to tie for that single altar. :( ~D.

sees_all1 Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Here's to bug abuse, eh? I know that whenever I'm playing, I stop running at the mind altar. I also tell everyone else who's playing to stop trying too, because of the glitch. 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magician_xy Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I actually made a rant about how horrible that game is messed up. Check it out here... Those are just my thoughts on the matter. Jagex definitely NEEDS to fix the GOP. I don't know why they have let it go on for so long. #-o Personally, I don't see why that constitutes as bug abuse, though. Bug abuse is using the bug to gain an unfair advantage over other players, which you're not getting; if anything, it should be the team that wins the mind altar that gets reported for bug abuse! :lol: I'm 100% free-to-play!!!

sees_all1 Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Bug abuse is using the bug to gain an unfair advantage over other players, which you're not getting But, yes, you are. You win the mind altar, and you can just stop. Not do anything. The unfair advantage comes from when the other players on the other team are still running around, playing like it matters. You gain advantage because they don't get credit, and they also waste run. I would like it if everyone reported the bug... Jagex doesn't even recognize bugs in minigames right now, so keep submitting reports until they do. 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piu Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Theres more to it than just that. It passes on to the next altar you play in. Example: You win air altar, touch nothing at all in mind altar, you win water altar, and mind doesnt count at all. So it would be 5 altars overall. If you win air altar, touch no orbs until fire altar, you win body. And the score would be 2:0. If you touch nothing in air, mind and water will be random.
