Hey guys,

 

Today I'm gonna be running a quick little poll to help us see where the community stands on a few subjects and the direction we should go about future updates.

*NOTE* Just because something is polled and passes, does NOT guarantee it will be added.

 

I'll leave a brief description for each poll question below.

 

Should GIM be allowed to open Bloody chests and supply chests?

- Currently, Group Ironman accounts do not have access to Bloody chests/Supply chests. This was enabled for the tourney but never polled to be opened back up since release.

 

Should dragon bolts be added to the drop tables of bloody chests/supply chests?

- Currently, The price of "Dragon bolts" are upwards of 100k+each as the only source of them is killing Vorkath. Adding these to the chest would help supply some extra ones, Lowering the prices and making them more available.

 

Should the chest now give a red skull preventing players from protecting item for 2 1/2 minutes after opening?

- Currently, upon opening a supply chest you get teleblocked for 2 1/2 minutes but only have a regular white skull. Meaning if someone risks the 1m to open the chest and they get a rare item, they can simply just protect it. Changing to red skull will make it more "dangerous" as intended.

 

Should barbarian fishing be buffed slightly to make it better XP? It would roughly match manta rays, But would be less afk and not provide the food that fishing mantas would.

- Current rates are severely under manta rays which is AFK and provides top tier food. Barb fishing would be a 'More effort, More XP' method for training fishing.

 

Should Molch Pearl fishing be slightly buffed to obtain pearls quicker?

- Self-explanatory

 

Should the farming timers be changed to be 1/4th of OSRS timers? (Currently 1/8th)

- This change is suggested to make it a little bit more of a passive skill as it is intended to be. Currently, you can seemingly train Farming constantly which is not feasible in OSRS. With the implementation of yield boosting items and bonuses with the Magic secateurs, composting, and the farming/max capes we are able to yield far more crops than before. This in-turn results in extra XP making Farming even faster than it was prior. By changing the timers to be 1/4 of OSRS timers and fixing a few of the patches that aren't working currently players would be able to yield more from farming while having to do less frequent runs. 

 

Should the Kraken Tentacle degrade after 10,000 hits?

- A few updates ago the kraken tentacle was changed to dissolve as it does on OSRS. This was reverted due to community reaction but was mentioned that it would be re-polled.

This is a way to help remove whips from the eco.

 

Should Sarachnis be able to be instanced?

- Self explanatory

 

Should additional plugins be added to alora? (Examples below)

These are a few examples of possible additions. If this passes a new poll will be created to determine priority of these being added with a bigger list.

 

Should a non-wilderness version of Skotizo be added?

- This suggestion is here and explains what this would cover: https://www.alora.io.../58325-skotizo/

Very nice qol indeed, ive voted yes on every single one apart from the tent whip being degradable. Hope to see most of this implemented in the near future if the community wants it!

[oijnmukfvrg]

Voted to everything yes except the blood chest for GIM quite frankly shouldn't be for EIM either. Those plugins would be so 

[Blackpoiint]

Very nice poll. I hope almost everything passes.

[Ra]

Good poll, seems to be fair that tents degrade IMO. Also, voted no on non-wildy Skot because it sort of beats the purpose of the boss since it is a wildy boss.

Would loving farming to be same rate as osrs also also same yield as osrs like snape grass can get like 15-60 per patch and on here its like 8-15

[Champ]

Farming timers are fine in my opinion. Those plugins from Runelite would make Pvm'ing much more enjoyable. Non-wildy Skotizo would be nice. Tentacle should 100% degrade after 10k uses. 

 

Thank you for taking the time to write everything out and making these polls God.

[Vape Tricks]

Love this QoL poll. I hope to see much of this get added in the near future

[No CBs]

This is why I love Alora staff! Always listening and adapting things/reviewing things. Keep up good work guys!

At this point the GIM leaderboards for the top teams are pretty much set theres not going to be much change unless they start splitting apart, and as far as EIM having access it's been in the game for them long enough that it has impacted the pace of those accounts that have had access to it, giving them things like dfs, pvp armor acb etc removing that would give newer eim's a disadvantage in comparison to the currently stacked higher ranking irons,

 

As far as I see bloody chest and supply chests either give it to all iron modes or none at all 

 

 

I did say no to the tent whip degrading, now if we do poll it and it passes AND it does get added, I do believe we would need increased spawn locations for the demons, as I figure kourend will become heavily camped by burst/barragers and it won't take long for slayer tower to become filled up aswell.

The issue with the bloody chest for GIM is not an issue of highscores. It's the fact that the chest can, if you are very lucky, give you items that you other wise would have to grind for. As for giving it to all game mode or none at all, I disagree with that. Some game modes need their own adjustments compared to their limitations that are placed on them. Being able to trade with 4 other people is a good trade off for not being able to open a chest that can give very powerful items.

[HC Hyper 2]

Dam such a good poll. Please add the plugins!!!!

[Gp]

I would like to say yes to the degradable tent whips but I decided to vote no due to concerns about supply vs consumption.

[Billesh]

Can only pray Skotizo stays in wild only, Otherwise its gonna be even more dead than it is

[Morgen]

Polls are pretty Pog, Plugins would be great honestly.

[Stay Slaying]

It's so hard for me to go back to using Alora's client after being on runelite the last few months. If we got "plugins" or just additional stuff like ground item customization or bank tag tabs like runelite has that would make me want to play more.

 

The real solution which multiple people have suggested is to just make a version of the runelite client for alora. TONS of servers do this now and it's not that difficult anymore. Let's be honest Runelite > HD.

 

I love a lot of these questions though especially the tent degrading. That would shake up the economy for whips and would be fun to watch. Barb fishing desperately needs the buff and the farming timer idea is a good one aswell!

[GZ]

My vote is in. Hope to see some changes that benefit the community of Alora!

IF it comes in, it would be a lot diff in terms of drops

No emblems or zenyte jewellery, Skotizo would still be worth doing in the wildy AND in safezones brother.

At the point kinda pointless to have both in safezones and Wild, but deffo glad zenytes and tiers are taken out :)
