Hey guys,


As many of you already know, we've been working hard on developing the recently released Raids system from OSRS to have it available on Alora. I'm very pleased to announce that it's coming along nicely, and that the progress is coming along quicker than expected. Although it won't be 100% accurate to OSRS, we're trying to get the most important parts(eg. The battle against the Olm and other bosses) to be as accurate as possible.

So far, we've got a decent system for managing the different Raids sessions that could be simultaneously active, as well as forming a team to go into a dungeon with. The interfaces for this are not yet configured, but the backend support is there.


Here's a small overview of a few features:

  • Raids sessions support
    • Capable of hosting an instanced raids map for a party(we will likely limit this number to ~20 people)
    • A map with 12 rooms, not including the final Olm room, is created.
      • Each room has it's own enemies to face. (Currently only two rooms configured)
  • Olm boss
    • We've tried to keep the Olm combat mechanics as true to OSRS's as possible. It took a long time to find all of the animations, graphics, and other configurations to make this happen, but it looks very nice at the moment.
    • This boss is intended to be a challenge, and we do not plan to lessen that challenge as much as we have with other bosses(eg. Zulrah). Olm seems to have many different combat mechanics, phases, and rotations which are being analyzed right now to make sure that Alora's Olm is equivalent.
  • Olmlet pet:
    • The dialogue is 100% accurate to OSRS's, including the proper laugh animations on the different dialogue sections.

 

This is the primary focus of development at the moment, and other updates will be put aside for the most part until we release Raids(except necessities). There is currently no ETA as I'm not sure how long some of the other aspects will take, but if all goes well we'll have it out before February 1st. I will make sure to keep everyone updated on the progress as I'm sure many of you are just as keen as I am to see this update make its way to Alora!

 

We've still got a long way to go, but this update really is huge and we plan to make it as comprehensive as possible.

Enjoy, and keep your eyes out for some updates soon  ;)

@Omicron will raids difficulty scale with amount of players? and olm having more stages with more players in he raid?

this will make them possible to be solo'd as well as not make it super easy for a 20 man team.

I'm currently working on this functionality! Unfortunately, we can't really know how the difficulty scales on OSRS(as in exact combat values for NPCs) but we can create our own system to determine the relative strength of enemies within the dungeon based on the size of the party as well as the average combat level of the party members. For our purposes, most players will be maxed out as it is not hard to reach level 126 on Alora, but we will definitely take the party size into account.

I can't even describe my excitement for this update it's going to bring such a huge jump in player growth for the server and I'm sure it will see Alora to the number one spot for private servers.

Keep up the hard work guys!
