Can't wait for the much needed CoX rework and LMS revamp.

[Sassafras]

I'm excited to see these implemented in 2020 (especially dynamic Raids 1), thanks for providing this Dev Blog to the community.

[Moe]

Thank you for the POGGERS dev blog update, dad! 

[Isekaii]

Looking forward to all the new updates!

 

A question I have is for the upcoming achievement diaries, will they be taking over the current tasks we have currently? Also would this be our new requirement for people working towards completionist monkey?

[Real Alan]

Will the achievement diary rework include a rework of the daily tasks system?  Achievement diary rewards currently make up half of the daily tasks rewards shop.  Many of these items take weeks to obtain through the current daily task shop, so I really hope this topic is handled carefully.  Furthermore, the wilderness sword is also in the pkp store for 9k pkp.  That's nearly as much as the anguish and torture (on realism).  Please do not simply remove old achievement items when you launch the reworked system.

Looking forward to these updates, thanks Omi!

Hopefully people who have the comp cape already wont need to redo all achievements to get it again... ive been grinding the current achievements out for a while now and only need to do inferno and im comped.... this is would feel very de-motivating if players who have already grinded out said achievements were put in a position to redo them again, just my opinion.

[Lynyrd]

How about that ToB rework tho? 

[Ra]

I like this update, looking forward to it :)

Hey @Omicron,

First thank you for this amazing dev blog update I'm really looking forward too.

Secondly, I was discussing that diary within @Mack post, 

https://www.alora.io...e-2#entry298773

That's my comment on it.

 

Are we going to see the complete system or, it will be some of it implanted then later on more to come ?

We will try our best to implement it all at once, but the system is scalable and we can add more achievements later on if need be :)

 

Achievement one looks really nice, would this mean all current points + current rewards will be scrapped? 

We will be removing all current rewards / points, unfortunately those will have to be re-obtained, though that is the same for everyone. We are also removing any achievement items that were in the Daily task shop, but you will be reimbursed for those in points (however much you spent on them).

 

I'm really excited about these updates Omi! I do however have a few questions;

- As for the achievement diaries, will the already completed achievements be autocompleted when the update comes through? Or do all accounts start from the beginning, and have to do all achievements again? I don't think I would mind to start all over again, to be honest.

Two examples: I've killed the Kalphite Queen 25 times already. This is something Alora keeps track of in the completion log. However, I'm 100% certain I also pickpocketed the hero 75 times. This is something the game doesn't keep track of, as far as I know. This would probably be a hassle.

- As for the LMS update. I noticed the trouver parchments in the reward shop. Would this mean that untradeables would be lost on death in 30+ wilderness? If so, please notify this like 2742 times, otherwise people will be crying about their lost untradables.

- The CoX update is something we all were waiting for, and I can't wait for that one to happen. Maybe even more than the two others.To be honest, I haven't done CoX in a few months myself, I think.
A good endgame in a game as Alora is very very important!

Thanks for the blog!

Most achievements will not carry over, but the extremely difficult ones (eg. Completing the Inferno) will be auto-counted on the new system. 

 

We have not decided yet on that item's functionality and whether we will make that sort of core change to the wilderness death mechanics, but we will determine that in the near future.

[Formula One]

The achievement re-work has gotten me so keen! 

It'll be the best part on my realism!

Cheers Omi!

[GIM Flex]

Really excited about this update! sad to hear my ardy cape will be gone, and have to regain it though.
   But I understand it's only fair.

[2 Ridiculous]

Awesome work,

 

I think its a VERY good idea to keep the public posted on what ideas/updates are planned in the short term/long term so we always have something to look forward to.

[Fosho]

Is there a rough time frame from when the new achievement diarys will be out? I've been grinding them for comp but wondering if it's not worth it to continue if the new system will be in soon. Thanks mate good updates.

[Dont risk it]

That cabbage halo is calling my nameee

[GIM Flex]

Was talking to my skiller gim partner and well we really hope this "Easy" Varrock dairy won't be 100% accurate.
    Will we really have to go and get him 10,000,000GP just to complete varrock dairies and achieve varrock armour? Well thank god he grinded prospector but still!

[Kingford1956]

That looks so awesome, I cannot wait to see the new achievements.

[Ketsu]

Really looking forward to the achievement diary update and the CoX rework is obviously a really good update.

 

Might try LMS even though I've never been a fan of it.

Dan and I are actively working on it, and making great progress! Players can expect the next update to most likely have the new achievement system, however we don't give out ETA's on updates, so I couldn't pinpoint when that will be for you.

Could you give us a list of those achievement which will be auto completed upon release? Let’s just say for example the 10x Jad / 250 wilderness course / 100 barrows etc.. I’m not sure if people would like to re-do them, myself included. So I think giving us a list of which achievements would auto-completed would calm us down for a while, instead of having 100 questions regarding the new diary rework.
