[Ye its me]

What is your suggestion?:

Remove twisted horns from the drop table and instead make them a reward at a kc milestone.

 Maybe release the point cap/formula officially?

Potentially change weighting of prayer scrolls. They are incredibly common and now nearly worthless.

 

Is this in OSRS?: yes and no?

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: no

How would this benefit Alora?:

Twisted horns are annoying to get as a raid loot frequently. Prayer scrolls are a 2 time use then useless, but many players see 4-5 prayer scrolls before another item.

Releasing the points formula would help players know how to do the raid the most efficient way.

(challenge mode chambers maybe?)

No suport, First Prayer scrolls are okey, cuz when you stack them you can put them in well and BOOOOOM, well is 24/7 again, and with horns keep them, and no need for challenge game mode, and you need 7k pts for purple, so you can do fast games, read some combat tasks, and you can do them :) .

[Ye its me]

@HoldinAP so your argument for adjusting prayer scrolls is because its good well food? horns dont have a need or reason to be on the drop table. Im suggesting getting them from a kc milestone same as the capes. why no challenge mode? better rates more challenging? your reasons are just "no change"

support, i havent done much cox myself but it would be nice

 

- twisted horns kc milestone: makes total sense, dont see why not

- agree with the point formula thing, always good to be transparent with the community and would help people more efficiently farm
- prayer scroll changes: totally support idk why theyre so common
- challenge mode: it would add some more combat achievements, and would also lock the pet morph behind a harder version of the raid similar to hmt, but the mechanics for cox feel very outdated and janky + i believe theres a point cap, this especially the point cap thing just makes cms not even worth doing, the mechanics thing is just a personal nitpick lmfao

Okey, So for scrolls, if Omi will make it rare, other players will make suggestion to make a bit common + then scrolls won't cost 20m ish now, they will cost hella more,  on Omi now the main work now is on Sailing skill, so this may take time and finally with challenge mode, why?  just for tasks? or for extra items? for extra items buy tickets upgrade rank and you get stuff fast and you will repay your hard work in eternal.

cox is long overdue for a rework, it shouldn't be based off what rank you have. It's a huge change but it should be done, challenge mode is great and welcome! Only issue is imo i think you need to make the kits need to be only dropped on challenge mode, dust im indifferent on, im ok with changing it to a challenge mode only drop but tob would probably have to be changed then as well, support

I gotta be honest here I think you should just sit this one out, you're not grasping what is being suggested i feel. scrolls will still be common just not as common as they currently are, you are assuming they will be rare if its changed which is not the case at all

[rick99]

yea i full support doing a rework its mostly uber+ to spoon drops vs someone who has normal rank could go like 60 kc for first drop but yes adding CMs would help the game so much because i already have everything from cox but the kits and dust and im almost 400 kc we need something to break it down more getting 7k-8k points each raid doesnt do much but i full support this and think it would be doing cox a lot more enjoyable.

I would love to see an overhaul of the reward system in general. Right now it feels like I'm griefing myself if I run CoX with friends. 

The fact that Donator ranks have such a huge impact on CoX drop rates is also bad for the health of the game imo. I'm all for donator ranks giving a boost, but right now it is a waste of time if you don't have bonus rolls from your rank.

In addition to a rework of the point system I think a party system like tob/toa would be nice QoL.

100 percent support this. 

 

First, it makes sense to change the way twisted horns are factored into cox rare drop table, similar to how pets were recently changed to be a separate drop table for a few npcs. There is really no reason to have multiples of these and they certainly do not sell to reward the tenacious coxxer with a bit of coin. 

 

 

 

Second, prayer scrolls are utterly useless after 2 because unlike osrs we do not have a large enough player base or enough newcomers to handle the supply that these tenacious coxxers are accumulating. I would much rather have less purples but know i have a decent shot at getting anything other than another scrap of paper. 

 

 

Third, it makes no sense at all that cox is the oldest raid we have and is outdated in many ways, even on osrs, and yet we dont have clear information on the points system. It is so wildly baffling why we dont deserve to have this information, because what would alora stand to lose from the player base having a better understanding at how their tenacious coxxing may or may not potentially grant a merciful purple light. When I joined alora i remember wanting to know more about the points system and trying to ask and getting 6 different answers from staff, veterans and deranged coxxers alike. I have even seen this on a few old forum posts that did not yield results. Maybe the real question isn't how does the point system work but rather why is this information being guarded? The worst possible answer to that question is just that whoever is gatekeeping this info does not care to take the time to clarify.

 

 

 

Fourth and final, make cox a group raid again. It is so lonely in those dark chambers, but as a true gamer I am not going to knowingly lower my chances at obtaining the coveted twisted bow just so I can drag my buddy who i think will make it more fun but actually just slows things down and keeps picking up all the extended p pots cus his fav color is purple. In all seriousness there should be a way to make duo or group just as equitable to the aforementioned tenacious coxxer.

 

Thank you for making this suggestion, I hope we get some sort of information or positive update to revitalize COX. It might be the oldest of all the raids but its still arguably the most important raid and piece of content we have. Thanks for reading
