What is your suggestion?: Runecrafting guild minigame

Is this in OSRS?: No.

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: Yes, I am posting purposely here a suggestion which is already posted and accepted. 

No.

 

 

How would this benefit Alora?: 

 

The skilling would be less boring and some people would probably even enjoy playing the minigame.

 

A small video of the minigame -> 

 

 Rewards could be those cool items for pures as well and could add something else such as; pouches etc.

 

 And add the hats with toggles on.

 

 

PS: If this will be added Pm me for ez carry.

Had to vote no to this. First of all so many peoples banks are going to go down in price quite a bit. 2nd of all if the merge was to happen no guarentees this would revive game mode anyway because if they get a choice of a higher exp rate or lower most people will still go for higher one. Although I like the idea of a sword/cape for classics since they dont get anytihng really to show who they are in game.

 

Theoretically all of the items in Classic mode are already able to be transferred to the normal economy. Sure, more items will enter the normal eco if we do this change, but they're also bringing all of their gold with them to buy items, so things should balance out. Also, realistically there aren't that many Classic players, or at least rich ones, to truly affect it.

Hey guys,

 

It's a busy week for our content polls section! In this poll, we're referencing and polling the changes to Classic mode which have been requested in the following thread:

Original Classic Mode Suggestion Thread

 

If you haven't already looked through this topic, give it a quick look to familiarize yourself with the issues surrounding Classic mode.

 

To give a quick summary, Classic mode is far less active than it was a few months ago, and many fear that with Elite Ironman out now, and Group Ironman in the distant future, there isn't much going for Classic mode. On top of this, with less and less people playing Classic, the economy has become far more difficult to be a part of, making it a challenge to buy and sell items. So, what exactly are we proposing?

 

1. Firstly, we'd like to open up the economy of Classic mode and make it so that it isn't a restricted economy anymore. That means that it'll be identical to the Normal economy. As a Classic, you'll be able to use the normal Trading post, trade any normal player, use normal shops, stake, gamble, use the donation store etc. You would also receive the normal amount of GP from thieving, npc drops, etc if this were to go through.
   1. At this point, you might be asking: What's the difference between this and the Normal game mode? The answer is that it will be very similar, but it will keep the low experience rates and XP boost restrictions that many of you love. In a nutshell, it would become a low experience version of the Normal game mode.
2. Secondly, although the idea of 'perks' were proposed in the suggestion thread, we believe that this goes against the core idea of the game mode, which is meant to be more challenging. To counter this, we've proposed that a custom cosmetic item, perhaps a cape or a sword, be given to Classic players to signify their status.

 

As always, we appreciate your input on our content polls and look forward to hearing from you! After all, these ideas that we're polling come straight from the community -- and we're doing our best to implement your suggestions. Although the topic in the suggestions forum received much support, we'd still like to poll it just to be sure that this is what the community wants.

 

Regards,

Alora Staff Team

On my momma if this happens I will max my classic account and finish my series.

This could be done as it seems most of you are supportive of the idea, but just be aware that this would open the normal Trading post to classics and we’d close down the Classic Trading post (no need for it), and also that full trading/staking/etc would be open to classics as well as the donation shop. All of these would be opened up, and it would definitely change the game mode, as it would be essentially the same as normal just without the high XP, and perhaps with a few perks.

Hello everyone!

Thank you all again for voting on this month's Community Awards!

If you have any suggestions for future categories which people can vote on, please let king purple know!

Now, without further adieu, here are your winners!

 

 

Hello everyone,

 

The long awaited Halloween update is finally here! Along with this, we’ve added a few other things you’ve requested, such as Donator icon toggles (both the ability to hide your own AND the ability to disable them entirely on your client), banking quantity buttons, mouse wheel zooming without holding CTRL, and even some new cool updates that we thought you’d enjoy such as some tasteful, cosmetic Donator capes to show off your rank and to quickly get to the Donator Zone.

 

 

Note: You must update to the latest client to play following this update, otherwise you may run into some issues. If you aren’t on the latest client, a warning message will be sent to you every time you login warning you that your client is not supported.

 

• Halloween event:
  • This year’s, Eric’s determined to hold the spookiest halloween event for his niece and nephew. He won’t be ridiculed again, but he needs your help to organize it!
    • Speak to Eric at home to be teleported to Port Sarim, where you’ll help him on his adventure this Halloween.
      • Without saying too much, we’ll let you figure out the rest in-game, but we will mention that the rewards can be reclaimed from the lost items shop if lost.
• Alorian capes:
  • A new set of capes can now be obtained!
    • Donator capes:
      • 4 new donator capes have been added, and as long as you meet the rank requirement, you can obtain these capes from the Donation manager and switch between the colors as you please.  These capes cost 500K gp, but once you buy one, you can swap through any color you have unlocked.
        • Extreme
        • Legendary
        • Uber
        • Master
      • Notes:
        • You can use the right-click ‘Teleport’ option to get to the Donator zone.
        • You can use the ‘Switch-color’ option to swap between any of the cape colors that your rank allows you to have.
        • If you lose or downgrade your donator rank, you will no longer be able to equip your cape.
        • If lost on death, they can be reclaimed from the Lost items manager for 250k (half of the original price).
    • Veteran cape:
      • A sneak peak of the Veteran cape is included in the media below, which will be released on Alora’s 2nd birthday on November 4th. This cape is highly exclusive and is only available to players who have a join date of at least 2 years. On the date of release, only 1,325 accounts will be eligible. By New Years 2019, that number will have increased to a whopping 34,500 accounts. Keep an eye out for this cape on November 4th
• Donator icon toggles:
  • #1. Hiding your own icon from everyone:
    • You are now able to hide your own icon if you do not want to show that your are a donator or simply hate the look of the $ symbol. This is togglable by speaking to the Donation manager at home, and can easily be turned on or off whenever you’d like. 
    • Notes:
      • All donator benefits will still be active on your account, and you will still have access to the Donator zone!
      • This will not hide your donator status. This cannot be hidden at the moment, and this toggle only applies to in-game areas. (chat, yells, clan chat messages, news messages, next to username in chatbox)
      • For ironman, when using the yell channel, it will simply no longer show the color of your donator group, meaning it will use the default Classic/Ironman/etc color.
  • #2. Hiding all icons on your client:
    • You can now choose to hide everyone’s donator icons (including your own, if applicable) on Alora. This means that by toggling this setting, you will no longer see any donator icons ($ symbols) in all in-game areas. (chat, yells, clan chat messages, news messages, next to username in chatbox)
    • Notes:
      • This toggle was requested by numerous players as it will make your game look a little bit less like a private server, especially for youtube videos.
      • The setting can be toggled by going to your settings tab, clicking the “Extra settings” button (wrench and hammer) and scrolling down to the bottom.
• Banking QOL update:
  • You can now set a pre-defined amount to withdraw or deposit when banking! 
    • The buttons at the bottom of your bank can be toggled to allow you to deposit/withdraw 1, 5, 10, All or a pre-defined amount (X) when you are withdrawing or depositing items.
      • This will be remembered the next time you open your bank, until you relog, at which point the amount is reset to the default (1).
• Mouse wheel zoom update:
  • You can now use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out without holding the CTRL key. This can be toggled in your settings menu by clicking on the zoom button, and will save to your character on logout to remember your preference. By default, this option is disabled.
    • Scrolling without holding CTRL will work anywhere as long as your mouse is not over a scrollable interface. (eg. Bank interface, chatbox, friends list, etc)
• New bonus rate: Clue scroll bonus
  • Event managers can now set a bonus rate for Clue scrolls, giving you a better chance at receiving good loot from your caskets!
    • This also applies to the Clue hunter rewards and makes them easier to obtain.
    • This does NOT apply to obtaining clue scrolls from NPC loot, it only applies to the loot you get from opening your final casket from the clue.
• Client login fix:
  • Many of you have likely experienced the login screen bug where you click “Login” and nothing happens, but if you click again it will log you in just fine. This has been fixed, and players should now be able to login normally on the first click.
    • Additionally, this fixes another bug where you would connect to a login server that is not optimal for you (more latency), when your client should be prioritizing the lowest latency server.
• Forum profile command added:
  • You can now type ::profile/;;profile in-game to pull up a user’s forum profile. For example, typing in ‘;;profile king purple’ will take you to @king purple ’s forum profile (https://www.alora.io/forums/user/158352-king-purple).
    • This will quickly allow you to locate a user, whether online or offline, if you’d like to send them a message on the forums.
• Youtube shortcuts:
  • ::yt can now be used instead of ::youtube to find someone’s stream
  • ::lowkey and ::salter can now be used to link to @Lowkey and @Salter's streams.
    • If anyone would like their own stream, and has proven that they stream consistently, send me a PM to add a link for yours.
• Client fix on Linux:
  • Some users reported their middle mouse button not working on Linux based operating systems. Although untested, this should now be fixed.
• Reclaimable items update:
  • The following items can now be reclaimed from the Lost items manager if lost on death:
    • Imbued god capes (Saradomin, Guthix, Zamorak) - 500K GP
    • Imbued max god capes (Saradomin, Guthix, Zamorak) - 600k GP
• Drop notifications:
  • Similar to how you receive a purple message when you obtain a Money casket drop, a purple message will now be received when an NPC in the wilderness drops a Mysterious emblem or a Slayer enchantment.
• Soul rune crafting updates:
  • Rather than 108 essence fragments, you can now hold up to 111 fragments in your inventory (accurate to OSRS). Realistically, with 27 in your inventory (minus one slot for a chisel), you’ll only need to hold 108 anyway in most cases.
  • We’ve received positive feedback overall on the difficulty of Soul RCing, but many players believed that the experience rate should be more rewarding for an activity that is more difficult and click intensive than other types of Runecrafting. To address these concerns, we’ve increased the experience rate per rune to 59.4 experience (previously 29.7), doubling the XP/hr.
    • Although this may seem like a big jump, it is still slower experience than crafting other runes (eg. Bloods).
• Veteran yell update:
  • If a Veteran player who is also a donator yells in-game, the [Veteran] tag will now also have the donator icon of their rank next to it.
  • If a Veteran donator speaks in the Clan channel, the donator icon will appear.
  • If a Veteran donator receives a rare drop or any other type of news announcement, their donator rank will appear. 
• Wilderness loot skull bonuses:
  • PvP Armour drops:
    • PvP armour drops are now up to 30% more common when red-skulled, and 15% more common when regular skulled.
      • This applies to all wilderness monsters that drop these armours.
  • All other revenant drops:
    • Any revenant drop with a less than 1/100 rate will be 20% more common when red-skulled, and 10% more common when regular skulled.
• PvP Armour updates:
  • Exchange prices (& protection value) of all of these items has been increased dramatically.
    • This ensures that when dying in the wilderness with these items, they are protected over most other items of lesser value.
  • The 20% nerf outside of the wilderness has been removed in certain areas, providing the full effect of these equipments. 
    • These areas include:
      • FFA Clan wars
      • Clan wars
      • Battle Royale
    • Basically, any PvP area has been included, except for the Duel Arena. All non-wildy PvM areas still nerf the bonuses by 20%.
  • Special attack updates:
    • Vesta’s spear will now make the user immune to any Melee attacks for 8 ticks (4.8 seconds) after using it. Additionally, the delay between using two Vesta’s spear specials in a row has been removed. 
      • If you use two in a row, you will not receive 16 ticks of immunity, though. It is a maximum of 8 ticks from the current time, meaning you will have to re-use the special attack after 5 seconds to get the full benefit of ~10 seconds of melee immunity.
• Dagannoth Rex update:
  • Dagannoth Rex was not properly defending against Melee/Ranged attack styles, making him too easy to defeat. The following has been updated:
    • • He will no longer take any damage from Melee/Range attacks. Magic must be used to harm him.
• New tournament arena:
  • As you may have noticed with last weekend’s EIM Tournament, we have added the DMM maps to use for future tournaments (and eventually actual DMM tournaments when we get there). 
    • Event managers can toggle between this area and the old tournament ring near the Grand Tree.
• Slayer tower bank chest upgrade:
  • The bank chest at the top floor of the Slayer tower (before Grotesque guardians) can now be used to note/unnote items by using them on the chest. This will give some benefit to UIM who unlock the chest.
• Untradable reclaim update:
  • The following items will now be sent to the Lost items manager on death if lost:
    • Goldsmith gauntlets (250k GP buy back)
    • Ice gloves (250k GP buy back)
• Combat changes:
  • Mithril seeds will now move you 1 step even if you are frozen. 
• Orb charging fixes:
  • When charging certain orbs, you do not need runes if you are wearing the correct staff. This was slightly bugged, as it would not check for Battlestaffs, Mystic staffs and mixed rune (Eg. Steam) staffs. This is now fixed and should check all types of staffs.
• Miscellaneous:
  • King kurask animations fixed.
  • Barbarian assault icons reverted to being in the cape slot, as they were causing hands to be invisible.
  • Deadman’s chest (plate body) will now be a full platebody, no longer showing the arms through the top.
  • Essence blocks / Zulrah scales can no longer be ‘equipped’ from the equipment interface.
  • A few of the Skeletal wyverns were constantly hitting 0s. Their attack bonuses and max hits have been fixed.
  • Fixed a bug with insuring Vanguard pet through Probita.
  • The Teleport wizard will now face any player that speaks to him, and not only change direction when teleporting someone.

 

 

 

 

Happy Halloween! :)

Sadly earlier today, I had to say farewell to the staff team for personal matters that are going on in my life atm. I will continue to play Alora and be active on forums and reading discord, just cannot dedicate the time that is needed to be a good Server Support. I want to thank everybody in the staff team for accepting me with open arms when I was new and for always being so helpful with any questions I had regarding any issue. Especially want to thank anybody in the community that voted for me for best Server Support for the month of October and who supported me initially becoming a Server Support. I will still be playing my normal graveyard shift when the circumstances allow me to and I look forward to seeing you all in game!

Great way to tell everyone you're a vegan

The schedule resets every month, it never continues. It will always be Defence every 1st of a new month.

 

 

 

 

Dear Otto, my friend!

While this could be an amazing idea to bring more people together and make Alora more fun, this also has its downsides. 

I think that this mode would be filled with "older" players who know each other and easily would be able to shape a great group.

 

On the other hand, it would make a hard time for new players IMO. Even with EIM we saw trouble with new players trying to look for partners, who didn't have a long partnership.

Now imagine them trying to shape up a group of 4-8 people. Would end up in a disaster. We have to remember, that we as a community have a responsibility for new players and not exclude them too much. 

If this somehow could be avoided, it would be an awesome idea. 

This is just my two cents to the suggestion :) 

Kind regards,

 

 

Hello good Sir!

 

Where as I do see where you're coming from, we can't let this intervene our pursuit of happiness! 

There could be a "GroupIronman" Clan Chat where players without a team can find one or something along those lines.

 

Thanks for the feedback!

Please make imbued mage cape go to untradeable store when you die with it.

 

Now you first have to go to the sparkling pool, pray at the altar to get your cape, then use it on Kolodion for 500k. 

 

Make it go to untradeable store for 500k instead.

 

I would support.

also as a classic player from beginning, it degrades and irritates the community.  the fact that every single person that's killed by a classic gets there stuff back. but when they kill a classic player they loot every single item.
