Absurd

What is your suggestion?: More untradeable items should go to Lost Item Manager on death.

Is this in OSRS?: Not sure, never played OSRS.

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: Partially.

How would this benefit Alora?: Well mainly UIM type accounts would be able to purchase their lost items from the Manager at a cost. Right now many items already ARE a part of this scheme, but for example Amy's saw, Plank Sack, Celestial ring or other untradeable items from collection log are NOT. I don't see why those should be treated differently to barrows gloves, monkey backpack or crystal halberd. This mechanics goes for all accounts - in an instance that player disconnects and dies, his hardly obtained untradeable item will now be safe, and for 250k per item (for example), player can purchase it back.

I see nothing regarding Watson and master clues. previously when dying from venom you'd sometimes lose a master clue and it would be impossible to get another from Watson as he think you're still holding one. Can you add a button to either destroy the 'remembered clue' or respawn it if Watson says you already hold a master clue scroll (this option would make more sense)?

Support, #1

People play daily killing bosses the same way they have been for years then you just drop an update that makes every boss/monster in the game harder.

Bringing that much change at once is going to piss people off.

IMO the change isn't bad for pvm but the way it was just released had no thought to it. To many things in this update has effected the all round feel of the game and not in a good way.


Why fix something that's not broken?
Focus on fixing the broken things 100% and don't half ass the important shit to release updates no one wants.

 

 

I agree both with you and Omicron. Honestly I enjoyed playing alora, you've seen me online 10-15 hours a day no issue, and now it's slowly changing, having me and others think about their builds before heading off to a certain boss will just prolong the grind until the 'right' weapons/armor are acquired. Not saying I want to afk kill everything, but seriously, things were not broken. BP used to shred everything but that doesn't mean you could have afk-ed Corp or Nightmare. It was just at a perfect spot between chill out and being too serious. If you wanted to slay, you could have taken it easy and if you wanted to do a certain boss, you needed to have endgame gear to be competent, regardless of how quick your BP shreds.

 

Omicron has a fully valid point too, and i'm sure a lot of work was put into this.

But in the end, if I wanted to play OSRS, i wouldn't be here. Alora used to be so much superior to OSRS in terms of everything, non degrading weapons, good damage outputs, good economy, boss fights where you can still talk to people and not care too much about dying, etc. Give it some time and player numbers will show the results. People are the ones that carry the server forward. Personally, I'm thinking of moving on, I don't expect anyone to care, do what you feel like doing. My logic is thinking beyond maths and calculations, even I sincerely love maths.

 

You wanna know how i found alora? I typed "top 10 rsps" in google. I downloaded and stayed. We have yell option, we have announced drops, we had so much more than OSRS would ever offer us.

This really was #1 server to me in terms of everything, literally a place where you log on and play with a smile on your face, think about it.

 

Have a good day everyone, I hope it's sunny where you are

Hey, I did look into this myself, and the tested the 3 perfected variants of the weapon with nothing else equipped, base 99's and the corresponding BiS prayers (rigour, augury, piety). The results that I found was that the crystal staff had an ~72% chance to hit, the bow had an ~71% chance to hit, and the halberd had an ~70% chance to hit the Corrupted Hunllef, which isn't very far off from how it was before the re-work (within 5%).

Thanks for the reply, although with these new drop mechanics sometimes we can't get a single higher tier monster in 5x5 dungeon. Furthermore i tested the 3rd kill drop mechanics more and unfortunately even kililng 3 of the corrupted rats did not give me frame, I did get it on my 4th rat kill in one of the minigames. I just find myself having to force exit dungeon when I realize I won't get a weapon in time to still be able to complete the dungeon. It has never happened to me before and I'd guess to others either.

 

I see that staff speed is now instant like it used to be before the trident update which is a good thing, but for some reason our dungeons won't see sub 8 minute times ever again, let alone sub 6 that top 10 players had. In the last 4 days I've done 195 gauntlets and counting, will post more updates, but as of 28th, I am now unable to finish it under 9:50 and most of times 12+ minutes.

 

Also, when exiting the gauntlet forcefully, there is about 5 second delay before being able to move again. Is that meant to be there, as no animation is playing?

i'd appreciate if you could look into hunllef boss in gauntlet. There's only 1 attack style to be used against it and it only depends on its protection prayer. Right now all 3 weapons, having +166 accuracy and +132 str stats hit almost constant 0s. Avg. gauntlet time for me (having changed nothing in my gameplay) went from 8 minutes on average to over 11 minutes, mostly 12-13 if i even survive inside for that long.

 

Boss also seems to take too long to change protection prayer. After dealing 6 hits sometimes i have to wait for about 2 seconds for him to change prayer, could be the attack animation length causing this, altho it looks quick from our point of view.

 

lower tier gauntlet monsters aren't classified into low tier group but rather by name when it comes to guaranteed frame drop. Therefore killing 2 bats and 1 spider won't guarantee us a frame drop like stated in the opening post. It's still luck factor, whereas killing 3 bats does guarantee at least 1 frame drop.

 

killing same of the higher tier monsters now guarantees a different weapon sigil, but also doesn't guarantee a frame drop anymore like it used to be. Frame doesn't seem to be on the 100% drop table anymore.

 

regarding tbow update, i can't fully agree it should be weakened against vanguards and olm, it's an endgame weapon after all. Hitting 106s on olm (an endgame boss that's supposed to have high magic level regardless of hand we're attacking) and 119s on mage vanguard was alright, anyhow it's just my opinion.

 

along with kill time wipe, can we get trading post wipe, remove all active trades and leave items/gold in tp. There's too many old offers with ridiculous prices that only clog the search results page.

 

When look at a certain monster's drop table, such as alchemical hydra, we're only able to see first 50 drops (50/63 in this instance).

 

Also when using drop searcher, it will also show only 50 lines with no option to go next page. Example Clue scroll (elite)

 

thanks and good luck

good updates,

 

i see nothing about crystal pick, not sure if you've seen the bug report. Right now crystal pickaxe can not be stored in Soul Altar clue stash which it should, same as dragon pickaxe.

 

Also when storing items into stash, if a player doesn't have another 3 empty inventory slots, the action won't continue. This check should be done only if a player is withdrawing items from the stash, not when storing them back inside.

just remove those events all together, what's the point having them anyway if nobody bots on a rsps. they shouldn't be popping when person is doing zulrah or other bosses, just makes no sense to me, sorry.

Please create new game mode, a combo of ultimate ironman + hardcore ironman. Name it whatever you like (ie. Absurd mode).

Thanks.
