What is your suggestion?: Remove the need for duo slayer partners to accept task skips.


Is this in OSRS?: I don't know. I've only ever done Duo Slayer in Alora.


Has this suggestion been accepted already?: I don't know but it's not implemented currently.


How would this benefit Alora?:
Let me tell my story.
Today I was trying to help user MontrellH task skip for a boss task. He is not donor+; I am. He wanted a KBD or Graardor boss task. I wanted to help him. I task skipped fast and it broke the code [bug]. He was left with a task that he had to cancel for
30 points while I had no task because perhaps I click fast.

We tried again and I aimed to click slower. But the same bug happened again. I tried logout. I tried remove the duo slayer partnership and neither of those recovery methods recovered from the bug. I still had the message that he hadn't confirmed skipping his task. He still had a task. We gave up, frustrated, and he was left with an unwanted slayer task. [Problem].

Rather than directly fix this bug from too-fast-task-skip-clicking, I think the better solution is
remove the confirmation window altogether. Not only will that remove the possibility of this bug occurring but it will provide a better user experience for players engaged in duo slayer with a donor+ player.

From a developer's point of view, timing-related bugs can be notoriously hard to fix, however hitting the delete key on a single popup window probably uses far less developer time. In this case, it will result in a much better duo slayer player experience too.

Im all for making it just skip for both players but that bug youre experiencing isnt really a bug that person you were helping skip was clicking no to the task skip which keeps him with the task. I skipped thousands duo task skipping and thats the only reason he would  get stuck spending 30 pts . Definately not because you were going "too fast" either

The reason we require confirmation from the other party is because there may be cases where the super donator cancellation will also cancel their streak. After investigating though, there are a few things that can certainly be polished up with Duo Slayer, including smoother notifications when partnering with players, as well as improving synchronization when cancelling a task. We can also make it so that if the partner has no slayer streak then it will automatically accept the cancel, and that will make issues like this no longer possible (since if you're skipping more than once using the free skips, the partner will no longer have a streak).


Your suggestion has been accepted.
