#378172 Allow Ironmen To Take Part in the Lottery

Posted by Classic on 25 October 2020 - 07:09 PM

No support, if you wanna enter the lottery that badly drop your gold to a "alt" account and join it from there. I see it pointless to bring ironman/ironwoman into the factor and allow you to "claim" the winnings on a different account. you can drop trade gold so do that then enter the lottery. saves omicron from spending the time on something like allowing you to collect the money on a different account you actually won on.

#377811 Menues While in Combat

Posted by Dont risk it on 23 October 2020 - 01:06 PM

I've thought about that. Then don't use it at the wrong time lol. I feel like that should be the user's choice same as if they looked away from the screen. Anyway, the health, prayer orbs, and most of the screen is still visable with those menues open so if it's quick, it shouldn't matter.

I did start out by saying support, the possible dying part is more of a side note rather than a concern

Alora has something better than any other server has...the games best attribute is the community.
It must be preserved and empowered, otherwise the whole thing crashes. If you played other servers you can notice the difference in behavior and attitude on the communities..Alora is by far the best community, period.
With that being said, the polls need to be added, this game doesnt need another donator rank at all.
You can slow down the updates, but don't add a donator rank out of nowhere, and most importantly, keep your community updated on things. Make their opinions matter with polls, discussion threads etc..
I am certain players wouldn't mind longer update waits if they had a say in them, and if they were updated about it.

“The main piece of content CoX has been left in this atrocious state for over a month, so we are adding a new donator rank??!”

Eternal Donator Rank

Anyone else notice this new Eternal Donator rank? As far as myself, and many others in the community that I've talked with are aware, this rank was never proposed, polled, or even mentioned to anyone. Everyone I’ve talked with seems to agree that this is a clear cash grab, and honestly, a slap in the face to most of us. Moving on.. What perks could this new donator rank possibly even offer? Any perks that could possibly be offered to match the cost of the rank would be incredibly overpowered and game breaking. The opinion the community holds on donator ranks is already that the highest rank that is worth the cost is uber, so why would anyone in their right mind pay for a potential $20,000 (potentially higher) rank?

For an example, look at the drop rate differences from donator ranks… (While this is a very black and white example, it gets the point across that the rank truly doesn’t provide a benefit worth its price) The Corporeal Beast drops the Elysian Sigil at a 1/2697 rate for non-donors. For uber-donators, that is reduced to 1/2552, and for immortal-donators a 1/2370 chance. Estimating that efficient players can get 30 kills per hour, it would save an immortal-donator 10.9 hours when compared to a non-donator. A $10,000 donator rank is theoretically only saving the player approximately 11 hours, more than $900 per hour saved. Think about what master and immortal donators did to the CoX prices.. How much further can we buff drop rates before it gets to be too much?

What’s more realistic is that players (if any even tried) would try and buy the rank with in game gold, buying custom transfers. Considering the on-going rate for $100 custom donations is 3b gold, at a 1:4 rate it would cost a single player 150b gold to obtain the rank from scratch. The benefits that this new rank would have to provide the player to be worth the price would have to be so incredibly overpowered that it would break the game in no time at all. Not to mention… how many players could even afford to buy that, maybe 2? Even so, they would likely have to dump their entire banks to afford it.

Something myself and a few others in the community have discussed as a better alternative would be paying for rank transfers. We understand that there is a cost of running the server, and the players are willing to do that, but a new donator rank isn’t the best way to go about it. Players being able to pay to transfer their donor ranks from account to account is a service that is much higher in demand than a higher tier donor rank. Not only does this accomplish bringing in more income to keep the server going, it also fills a huge need that the community has been asking for. How many players have left Alora because they wanted to play a new account and didn’t have the option to transfer their rank to a new account? Countless players have offered $100 and more to transfer their ranks, and those same players might come back if this was an option.

Lack of communication

Take a look at Oldschool Runescape’s method for development and why the current version of OSRS is a much bigger success than its prior Runescape 2 (pre-eoc). They run 30 question content polls at least once a month, and develop content around the results. If something doesn’t pass their threshold of being approved by the community (75%), they don’t bother implementing it unless they further reach out to the community, ask what changes would need to be made to see the content implemented, and then make said changes. While on Alora, the last major content (content that exceeds the “weekly update” time frame) poll took place in September of 2017. It has been over 3 years since one of these polls were posted. Here is the post for those looking…

https://www.alora.io...d-construction/

A development focused on what the players would like to see, rather than what content the developers would like to see. This is the style of development that Alora needs to implement. The players keep Alora alive, and players won’t stay when their thoughts and ideas aren’t being listened to. While Omi can, and should, make decisions for the server that he feels are ultimately the best, he should also take into account the ideas that the community has a strong passion for (ex: reworking Olm and ToB, adding nightmare instances and an overall combat system rework). Releasing content like Castle Wars and LMS are not what the players are asking for, yet they get implemented above all else and before fixing what the players are clearly asking for.

Instead of leaving the players, in the dark when it comes to “major” content releases, create development blogs more often. There were 2 back in July and August for the Chambers of Xeric rework, and it was very exciting to see an update like that just around the corner. Knowing what updates are coming and thinking about preparing for those updates always brings back my passion to play because it sets me on a direct path for a cool new piece of content.

Maybe development blogs are something that take up too much of Omi’s time, but there are a ton of dedicated players on the staff team that I am sure would be thrilled to help with the process of testing content and putting together a development blog for the community.

Side note. What happened to crack the clue?

Stupid update delays

This is one of the things that I will never understand the logic behind... Let's look at the most recent, and probably best example of this. The Chambers of Xeric rework is probably one of the best content updates Alora has seen in a long time; not only is it a good advertisement point, but it is also the cause of many old players returning. While I don’t agree with people saying “cOx iS iMpoSsible” I must admit I don’t see any logic behind delaying crucial bug-fixes, like the scaling of the top floor or the chests randomly disappearing for an entire month.

Another good example of this would be a very long time ago, when the skilling interfaces were updated to match OSRS. This update brought a crafting bug, that made the skill impossible to level early on, pretty much rendering the skill unusable for an entire week. Whether the reason is that a server restart would “annoy” players, or rather it was better to simply delay it a week so that the update would look bigger and better. It makes absolutely no logical sense.

As a player, all of this makes me feel so unappreciated on the server. To know that cash grabs and flashy update threads are clearly more important than the player’s experience, it truly saddens me.

I anticipate all of the discussions this may start, and I look forward to feedback from everyone within the community.

#371827 Last hand update for the boys

Posted by J boogs on 08 September 2020 - 09:56 AM

I get so many people always randomly pming me asking about a update or how I am doing with my hand so here is a update for everyone that is curious :)

For those who haven't heard and that wanna catch up, here is my previous thread I released when the injury first occurred: https://www.alora.io...-for-the-boys/

Hello everyone, I'm sure majority of you know my story but about a year ago I managed to crush my hand in between a forklift tower mast in between a boat hitch of a trailer. Today we've passed monumental day in my recovery for myself finally "graduating" from Physical therapy. Since July 30th of 2019, I've been participating in Physical therapy 3 times a week in hopes to allow more movement and strength in my hand. It's been a long, annoying, painful road but we are finally starting to KINDA see the end stretch. I am considered 40% disabled in my left hand due to doing such severe nerve damage, It is un-repairable unless I undergo another major surgery which I will be participating in here within the next 6 to 8 months. They will re open my wound in my hand and remove all of my dead nerves and replace it with new stem nerves from either my ass or my thighs where i wouldn't notice the nerve loss in hopes to revive the feeling in my hand. This procedure is called Nerve grafting. The success rate that I will regain 25% of my feeling back is about 40% chance. My odds have never been in my favor or never on the lucky side but I am praying this does me a positive vs completely altar how I am feeling now. As for my overall recovery on my hand, the doctors and myself are still today amazed of my recovery. Normally something in my case ends very severe, ending in amputation or tremendous movement and strength loss in similar hand injury's. I just thank god and all of the doctors and therapists who've been apart of my recovery and allowed me to excel in recovery and come out with many positives over such a shitty situation.

Moral of my story and my message to everyone else, Nobody should ever experience what I went through, feeling yourself slowly dying because of bleeding out is not a good feeling. All of the hard-ache since the injury in recovery, pain, stress, countless hours at the hospital, you just never know when it is your time to let go, let alone something terrible happen to you just over the smallest little things. I have zero time to react in my situation of my injury and I just want to try and spread awareness to people that life is short and you should not take it for granted. I know this sounds very cheesy but when you have close life-death instance like I went through, you get a complete different perspective on life and how things go in throughout my daily life.

Don't take life or any situation for granted because you never know when something is going to hit the fan, my instance was just a casual day at work and then I wake up in the hospital 45 minutes after I arrived to work.

We went from one handed boogs typing on a keyboard for 4 months to now back in action with both hands, it's a good feeling brothers.

Thank you for all who've cared about my well being through this entire journey, you all know who you are I truly appreciate all the kind words and is always a good feeling when people ask how i'm doing since the occurrence, truly, thank you.
