I have a question, maybe Rooh or someone more in the know can answer. When Jagex says the forums are going read-only “from January 25th”, do they mean the moment the clock turns from the 24th to the 25th? I’m just wondering exactly when this all comes to an end.

I really don't know, if I had to guess I'd say probably it probably won't be at midnight as it will require someone to "pull the plug" so it's more likely to be morning. Just a guess though.

The double negative in combat is ridiculous. how can you have a game that sets each player up for failure. why is that i hit 0s 4 times in a row followed by 4 splashes in a row, while a boss is hitting constantly. how can you have a game WITH DOUBLE NEGATIVE!! how do you expect players to enjoy the game with every instance being set up to fail.... the drop rate is also another thing to adjust. how can you have an item that is 1 in 400 drop rate yet players go over 1000 kills dry. how is that rewarding in any sense... how is getting beat by RNG rewarding, how do you expect players to continue playing a game that is designed for them to loose and not win,..... JAGEX will loose their community soon if these simple things are not addressed.

RNG is in many games. I played WoW for a decade and struggled there. Even in single player games I endured some annoying farms.

1/400 is a probability, not a guarantee.

I have insane luck with skilling pets, TH rewards, and some holiday events. It's annoying because I don't care about any of those things. My luck with valuable monster drops and clues is horrendous. But I know people envious of my pet drops / daily key luck. Those people can get a 5b dye within a handful of clues or earn a phat a week bossing xD

If you're really unhappy with a monster or something maybe give another a try for a little bit and cycle back. I wish I did that when farming my last Linza item for Graverobber.

yes its a 68% chance of seeing it within 400 drops. but that then only goes to 83% after 800, and not even 100% after 1200.... how does this math equate. ive had 2 CG pets. a 1 in 800 roll. yet nothing in the 400. just need to adjust these things.
