Chance

Thanks everyone! Next up will be an Ironman, mostly pvming and trying to progress boss/gear-wise, and maybe skilling to max a Classic on the side?

Finally achieved 200M all skills completionist status!   Took about 1.5 years real-time and 104 days played in-game, although a lot of that was spent PvMing, bankstanding, etc. This wasn't a goal I originally had when I first joined, but started skilling more and more and decided along the way to achieve it.

 

I didn't start using vote book XP bonus until the last 5 skills or so, and tried to only skill the more time-consuming or GP-consuming skills when the Well was on.

 

Least favorite skill was probably Agility because it was one of the lower XP per hour and not AFKable. 2nd place would go to Construction or Hunter because again not AFK at all but still faster than Agility.

 

Didn't get a Baby Chinchompa, Tangleroot, or House pet through 200M, but got most of the other skilling pets (besides Herbi and Phoenix).

 

Thank you everyone for all the Gzs in yell    Not sure what the next goal will be, maybe will try out an Ironman this time!

 

As long as we can decide on a good icon, I wouldn't mind. However to be consistent we would probably have to add an ex-staff icon as well.

What is your suggestion?: Add a Veteran icon in-game.

Is this in OSRS?: No.

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: Yes, it was accepted five years ago but never added. 

https://www.alora.io...=+veteran +icon

How would this benefit Alora?: N/A

Could match the discord icon that we have already. 

Hello Everyone! 

 

Name is Anzu. 

 

Been playing Runescape for alomost 10 years. 

 

Got addicted to league. Trying to break the curse.

 

 

Finally achieved a huge goal of mine & achieved the Completionist cape on my Hardcore Ironman! 

 

It was a fun journey. Closest I came to planking was being teleblocked by Rag & Daz at Mage Bank, survived with a brew to spare!

 

Next goals are to keep gaining exp and be #2 living HC behind Olivia, get a few items such as DWH, Bowfa etc then move onto Chambers & ToB.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers for reading & happy gaming!

 
 
 
Alora Mobile Development Blog
You read that right! No, it isn't April 1st. Mobile is finally coming to Alora! We've been working on this for quite awhile now behind the scenes, and have held off on sharing the news until we were further along so that we are more confident in what type of experience we are able to provide on mobile devices.
 
We're so excited to finally be able to share this information with you, I know that it is something that has been requested time and time again, and up until now it was simply a pipe dream. Even if you haven't considered the possibility of playing on your phone or tablet, we're certain you're going to love the ability to do so!
 

 

 
 

I thought mobile wasn't possible?!
This was indeed the answer whenever someone asked about mobile, simply because we do not use the OSRS client, and their mobile client wouldn't work with our server. What we really meant to say was, the complex task of rewriting a mobile client from scratch was not worth the time and resources being taken away from other updates if it was not going to be available to all of our players (both Android and iOS). Over time, we learned of some potential solutions that could provide a proper mobile experience on both platforms, and we began exploring them in more depth. While it was a tricky endeavor (especially on iOS), we managed to find workarounds for nearly all of the obstacles that we knew existed, and are proud of what we have been able to accomplish so far! We can't wait for you to experience it.
 
An important caveat: While Alora's mobile app will not be directly available within the App Store or Google Play Store, you'll be able to visit our website and download the web-app directly to your device from there (see image below). You'll also be able to play directly from your browser if you'd like (without a download), but we strongly recommending saving the app to your Home Screen as that will ensure that you can utilize the full width of your display without the browser's URL bar/UI taking up unnecessary space.
 

Features
Let's get right into the nitty gritty! For starters, most modern devices should be supported! We've developed the client with backwards compatibility in mind, and have tried our best to ensure that most devices from the past ~5 years should be able to play without any problems. With that being said, the most recent devices will provide a better experience because we can use better technology and hardware to take advantage of the enhanced processing power on those devices. If you're keen on playing on your phone and want the smoothest experience, the best thing you can do is ensure you have one of the latest devices.
 
Both iOS and Android will be supported, including the iPad and other tablets. We'd like to note that we may have to make some UI adjustments on devices that we haven't tested with, so if you have an uncommon device, bear with us while we work out any quirks.
 
 
Vertical/Portrait Mode
Completely unique to Alora, we will be including the option to play on your phone vertically so you won't have to hold it sideways with two hands if you don't want to. You can easily rotate your phone to switch between landscape/vertical mode, and the game will re-size and re-position all of the UI elements accordingly. A highly requested feature on OSRS, with many people want to use their phones as a supplementary method of playing the game, perhaps to skill or do some low-risk PvMing while focusing on other things (watching a movie, for example). You don't need as wide of a field of view for these activities, and switching to your app to quickly click on a tree or monster is a lot easier in Vertical mode so you won't have to turn your phone every time you want to respond to a text message. We've always believed in allowing players to play the game their way with a customizable experience, and we're extending that to the mobile client as well :)

 

 

Plugins

As it stands, the mobile client will release very similar to the Vanilla client, having a limited selection of built-in plugins such as:

• Enemy hitpoint indicators
• Boost timers
• Boss respawn timers

In the future, we plan to expand upon the available plugins by recreating RuneLite plugins, but our primarily goal at the moment due to the sheer scale of this project is to simply get it out relatively bug-free and with full vanilla functionality.

 

Limitations
Due to the fact that the client is running within a browser engine, rather than as a native app, we do have a few limitations. We've already managed to get pretty good performance with all of the optimizations we've applied to the client, but we're also in the process of converting the rendering engine to utilize your GPU (via WebGL) rather than CPU to boost performance even further, though this may or may not be available upon release. In the meantime, we've included many different toggle-able settings for you to optimize your client's performance and reduce battery drain / increase FPS:

• Limit map render distance
• Limit NPC/Player render distance
• Enabling low-detail
• Enabling "many idle animations" to not animate players who are idling in populated areas
• FPS Limiter (the most effective thing you can do for battery life is to limit FPS)

 

Release Date
While there is still much to do for this project to be ready for release, we are aiming for a late October release (~Approximately October 28th). With that being said, we're going to open up beta testing even earlier than that (as early as the next couple of weeks!), and for those of you who were around during RuneLite beta testing, you may be familiar with the process: For the first week of beta testing, we will allow Staff members, YouTubers and Eternal donators to access the beta client. Then, every few days, we will expand this list to include the lower tier of donators as well as other ranks (eg. Veteran). Once beta is available, we will publish a timeline of when each rank will be able to access the game.
 
This allows us to slowly provide access to the client to efficiently test for any bugs, and also to give a sneak peak to the supporters in the community.

 

$3,000+ Mobile Tournament
Along with the full mobile release, we are planning to host one of our largest tournaments ever! You'll be on a brand new, mobile-locked game mode that will have the mobile limitation removed at the end of the tournament (so that you can continue playing on your account normally). During the tournament, however, you'll have to compete on mobile, for a chance to win over $3,000 in prizes!

 

Tasks will have a balance of PvM / Skilling objectives, some of them will be "First to achieve" style tasks, and others will simply be whoever has progress the furthest in certain areas by the end of the tournament. We'll announce more details soon once we are more certain of how the tournament will look :)

 

 

FAQ

• Will we get OSRS's proposed mobile UI rework?
  • ​We are planning on porting it over once it's released!
• What if I dislike OSRS's new UI?
  • ​We may be able to add a toggle between the new/old UI, but this is TBD.
• Will the app drain my battery if it's running in the background?
  • ​The app will drain significantly less battery when it's in the background, so if you're AFK skilling, you shouldn't have to worry much about battery usage.
• Will the mobile client have RuneLite support?
  • ​Full RuneLite support will not be available on mobile, but we plan to implement some popular plugins and rework them to fit on mobile.
• Will it have HD mode or 2010 mode?
  • ​HD mode is not currently planned, only GPU support is in the works. As for 2010 mode, it will not be available on release, but could potentially come at a future date if players request it.

 

This project would not have been possible without the help of a very talented programmer (who is not a part of Alora) that goes by the name of Chivvon, so if you know him or ever run into him, be sure to thank him for his hard work!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We can't wait to share more information with you regarding this project, and we hope you're as excited as we are to be able to log in on our mobile devices soon :)

 

Best,

  • The Viggora’s chainmace/inquisitors mace now use the proper attack animations.

  • Fixed a bug where the glassblowing pipe wouldn't appear when doing the animation on 2010 mode.
• Quality of Life:
  • Players can now select multiple xp modifiers when using the Banked experience calculator.
    • Previously, if a player selected a second option, it would remove the previous option.
      • This will now only happen for conflicting modifiers (such as gilded altar and ectofuntus modifiers).
  • Players can now store the team cape I/x/0 on their POH cape rack.
  • The run energy plugin will now adjust the time left based on if the player is under the effect of a stamina potion or ring of endurance, and keep track of ring of endurance charges.
  • Players will now feed harpoonfish into the Tempoross cannons 1 tick faster.
  • Players will now only have to stand on Olm's absorption/teleportion pools for 1 tick for it to register them as safer, rather than needing to stand on it for the entire graphic during.
  • Olm's absorption pools will now spawn in a narrower range.
    • This range has been reduced by 2 tiles width-wise and 4 tiles height-wise.
      • This means it should (generally speaking) spawn slightly closer to the centre, and more towards olm.

• Bug fixes:
  • Fixed a bug where players would appear for use options after clicking on an item if they were using the transparent inventory.
  • Fixed a bug where the larger dagannoths in the Catacombs would stand on top of a player when attacking.
  • Players must now wait for the animation to fully play out to do an action after pushing through wheat in puro-puro.
  • Vengeance now properly works on Verzik Vitur during phase 1 and 3.
  • Fixed a bug where the Falador shield mole locator would not always show the hint arrow
  • PvP Armour used outside of the wilderness was reducing your total bonus by 20%, rather than just the bonuses provided by the pieces of PvP armour.
  • Fixed an issue with the low detail plugin removing the floors during the Warden P3 fight.
  • The nest hat chicken style now has a placeholder.
  • Fixed a bug where the low detail plugin wouldn't show the tiles in side of the gauntlet.
  • Fixed a bug where depositing stackable items into the looting back would sometimes use up an extra storage slot if that item was already in the looting bag.
    • For example, depositing noted cadantines into the looting bag if you already had some in there might have caused it to store them in a new slot.
  • Fixed a bug where the skills progress plugin would draw the progress overlays over the yellow box when hovering over a skill.
  • Fixed a bug where some players would be limited to 52 pets in their POH menagerie, rather than 57.
  • Players can no longer store duplicate pets in their menagerie.
    • We will not force players to remove their duplicate pets from their menageries, however they won’t be able to add anymore duplicates, and will need to remove their duplicates to store unique pets if they’ve filled up their menagerie.
  • Fixed a bug where some players' cameras would be set to their feet level when restarting their client.
  • Players must now have room in their inventory to uncharge the tridents/blowpipe/Toxic staff of the dead.
  • Fixed a bug where the antipoison timer would sometimes randomly appear.
  • Fixed a bug where entering Godwars instances (excluding nex) would not drain the player's GWD killcount.
  • Potion/thrall expiry alerts will no longer be filtered in the game tab.
  • Fixed a bug where players could not freeze barrows brothers right after they spawned.
  • Fixed a bug where the Ice barrage orb graphic was not properly animating.
  • Fixed a bug where the Keris partisan of the sun was not properly healing players when an npc was killed.

 

 

Although we've done our best to ensure that this update is thoroughly tested, there will likely be some bugs that we'll get to in the next 48 hours, so make sure to report them as quickly as possible so that we can patch them hastily. 

 

 We hope you enjoy this update!

Omicron & Chad

3 Years ago my first hardcore SG died to being afk at home while venomed while i was reading a forum post KEKW

 

 

Today SG maxed as a hardcore.

 

Yoo welcome back MT! You prob don't remember me at all nor do I play still too XD, but cool to see that you're still around! (:

 

 

Oh I definitely still remember you despite not chatting much with you haha XD

 

Thanks for the welcome back!

Greetings my friends, it’s been such a long time since I was involved with the Alora community!

To those who don’t know me, I go by Moral Truth (MT) or just Moral for short! You may have seen my name as one of the top posters in the Alora forums!

Some brief info about me! I was the longest serving server support in Alora history that you could say I was head of the server support team lol. I also wrote plenty of guides you can find in the Alora forums, and I used to do some Alora content on YouTube, too! Lastly, everyone from back in the day knew me as the vegan, which I still am to this day!

I just wanted to make this post just to pop in and say hi to you folks, as well as to see if there’s any familiar faces still around! While I’m not necessarily back into the game per se, I’ll still be around in the forums and the Alora Discord whenever I can! Who knows, maybe one day I’ll become the #1 poster in the forums and surpass Diva and Sheep lol.

Hope you all are doing well, and I’ll see you folks around!

This has been suggested in the past, but sadly it's not possible on Alora, since we don't use the same sprites for many interface components as OSRS does, and the assets used for dark mode are custom-made for those sprites.

Your suggestion has been declined, if you feel this was wrongfully done please contact a Forum Moderator+.
