Just gonna post progress and little achievements of my EIM throughout my journey to max. Gonna look into making youtube videos sooner or later, need to figure out mic arrangements and what not.

Noteable Drops

Kind of hard to see but golem drop fairly early

99 Skills

NORMAL EDITION

ANIMATED EDITION (THIS IS FOR PPL WHO WANTS TO TRAIN THEIR EYES)

ORDER YOUR SHIZZLE BRUV

Tick box: i cannot compare as i dont have osrs or rs3 accounts, but i indeed noticed sometimes clicking is very off. If this is indeed true, it should be fixed imo.

Prayer protection: i disagree on this. 99% of the bosses are already way too easy considdering you can bank in 1 min. Some bosses hitting through prayer only balances things out. Sure compared to osrs its wrong, but compared to osrs banking is also very wrong. This middleway of quick banking + still getting hit a bit is perfect imo.

Drop rate: please no, its called RNG for a reason. The whole idea of Runescape is the grind without you knowing when you get something. The milestone kc system is not in place to compensate for drystreaks, its here to show the server you killed x boss x times. The added chance during that kill is only a fun small extra feature. 
Im 99.9% sure this suggestion will never get implemented, as it is completely unbalanced and goes completely against the idea of RS. (not even mentioning it would completely ruin the eco)

First suggestion: If that's true and something can be done to easily improve it, I'd support it.

Second: Most of the bosses here don't have the same mechanics as OSRS, so they don't require much skill aside from being forced to eat a certain amount of food due to RNG. Making protection prayers 100% effective would remove pretty much all difficulty and bossing would be even more of a cake walk than it is now. No support.

Third: Partial support, I don't like the idea of threshold RNG boosts for all items in the way you've suggested (and especially for items that are only 1/243). Like it or not, RNG is a large part of the game and should stay that way. The drop rates in Alora are generally a bit better than OSRS across the board (except for pets).  However, I'd be okay with implementing RS3's threshold boosts for boss pets, as those only kick in after you've already killed a significant number of the boss. It'd benefit pet hunters without adding tons of additional uniques into the economy, but I don't expect it to pass anyway.

I could support the tick box rework suggestion as long as it isn't too intensive in terms of using Omicron's development time because I feel there are plenty of other areas that he could spend his time on that would be more beneficial. I personally don't have too many issues with the tick boxes and if misclicks happen they usually don't have that much of a negative impact. 

As for the second two suggestions, I definitely do not support them. Like @Sassafras already pointed out, bossing on Alora is already substantially easier than OSRS  due to a lot of the mechanics not being the same. Banking and getting to and from the bosses/NPCs is also much easier to do so altering pray protections would make camping and farming much too easy and thus bring more items into the game, altering the economy. If the bosses were to be reworked to be more similar to OSRS mechanics I could see the changes to pray protection added but until that happens I see this having negative effects on the game.

Like @My love pointed out, drops are based on rng for a reason. And if you want the game to be more similar to OSRS, like you claim in your first two suggestions, this change simply makes no sense. Adopting a system like the one you suggested would bring far too many items into the game and tank the economy. Not to mention, the whole point of grinding for an item is to get the satisfaction of finally receiving it. And if you prefer not to have to grind for each individual item, then play a normal or classic account and simply purchase it. The current system, however frustrating it may be at times, is fine how it is. 

First off I'm not 100% sure where to post this thread, so I'm making a post here in General Discussion. 

There are several topics I'd like to discuss about Alora ingame that I've noticed that some may not have noticed and I'm sure some have. I will split the topics into three main sections, but figured it would be appropriate to put three in the same thread because it's sort of a suggestion, but sort of a general discussion. 

The overall gameplay (tick box radius)

Ever noticed you misclicked an npc, food, any object, prayers, etc.? That's because the overall cursor box is smaller than actual Osrs and Rs3/2 tick boxes. Just put two clients side by side, you can noticeably see the difference how much bigger the tick box is compared to Alora's tick box. Ctrl + scroll wheel adjusts the zoom in/out feature, which would make it easier to click certain objects if you were to zoom in. However we as players shouldn't have to play like that considering how much easier it is to click on Osrs or Rs3/2. I'm not asking for some rework to be done here or anything; I just want to inform the players/staff/Omicron aware of this (I'm sure some if not most of the community already knows about this). 

Prayer protection against NPC's

I believe prayer protection against almost all monsters should prevent 100% damage from the foe you're fighting against excluding some NPC's such as Corporeal beast, Zuk (inferno boss), Venenatis, Chaos Ele, Thermonuclear smoke devil, Callisto, Vet'ion etc. (establish the same system as Osrs). For example: General Graardor (Bandos boss) can hit through prayer regardless, which in Osrs cannot hit through prayers. Furthermore the same argument can be brought up about other monsters such as Demonic Gorillas hitting through prayer as well. Now if this cannot be done at least adjust the drop rates for those NPC's maybe instead of 0.24% change it to something like 0.50%? 

Drop rates

Drop rates of uniques or rares aren't meant to be easy or a short task for anybody unless of course the donation benefits of those with higher donator rank. I will argue to some sense though that the drop rates should be tweaked a bit.. maybe not the item itself, but rather better chances if you have a high dry streak on that NPC. The current 100 and reoccuring 250th kc increased rarity is a good system, however I wouldn't mind seeing something better. Instead what if it was created whereas soon as you obtain a rare drop your rng(random number generator) get's reset. For example: Pvm God get's a valuable drop Armadyl Crossbow at 200 kc; his rng would then become in the 'reset' state. His kc wouldn't reset, but rather just the rng.

My suggestion: Remove 'every 250th kill gets you a drop rate increase' and implement a new system. 'Every kill your chance will increase by 1% stacking up until you've received a drop in the unique table'. 10 kc: 10% increased chance, 20 kc: 20% increase, 30 kc: 30% increase etc. If no unique has been drawn in 100 kills then every kill thereafter give an additional 1% on top of the adding 1%. Example: 100 kc: 100% chance, 101 kc: 102% chance, 125 kc: 150% chance, 150 kc: 200% chance, 200 kc: 300% chance etc. 

Example of new system: Zenyte shard is currently 0.41% chance of dropping 1/243 chance. 

With 100 kc 100% increase would now be 0.82% chance or 1/122 chance. Now take in account 100 kills no Zenyte shard and you still have a 1/122 chance after 100 kills dry already. 

Now obviously these are just rates I thought of with the examples I gave, but can easily be modified.. just using them as examples.

What are your thoughts? You don't have to comment on each section if you don't want to. These are just some things that have crossed my mind and feel like they could use some additional work or attention. This took me a while to make! Thanks for reading  :) 

So the classic bank is actually my EIM bank, I have not purchased anything since de-ironing.

*I've been one of the richest players in Alora history, and I do not want to buy any gear as I've learned having everything with no value behind it is boring.*

I will update this thread as item(s) are obtained.

Goal for NOT HUMAN's PvM bank -

Scythe of Vitur

Ghrazi Rapier

Sanguinesti staff

Justicar Set

Master Donator

Goal for Moe's PvM bank -

Replicate the Normie

Classic -

Normie - 

Well here we go again, I decided to make an unofficial HCUIM and attempt to go for max total.

The account is a HCIM and I will not be using a bank, so I'm essentially playing as a one-life UIM without a loot bag...

12/218

DEAD.

Died at Zulrah due to a DC, I'll be starting up another thread soon for my 2nd HCUIM attempt, "28 Sassafras". Finished with pretty much the same stats and gear as the November 26 update.

11/26/18

Been a little while since I've updated, I really didn't have much luck in the gear grind for Kraken until Saturday hit:

Ahrim's Top and Bottom in 75 Barrows kc was nice as well.

Now I'm going to take it slow at Zulrah, hopefully no starting over here...btw Seers Ring is a myth.

Current Progress:

Inventory:

Other:

I'm currently grinding these slayer tasks:

Zulrah (50 kc) - Blowpipe, Magic Fang, Crystal Seed

Dag Prime (615 kc) - Seers Ring

Thanks for stopping by,

Sass

Its sad for me to say this but these past weeks have been unpleasant for me, having family and school issues in my way just completely removes the time I have for Alora, which is why I'll be temporary resigning as global moderator till I can sort out my issues. My 5 months of being staff again this year was a wonderful experience and I have nobody to thank other than @Lowkey and the rest of the administrators for giving me another chance in the staff team.

I can understand why you feel they should be moved a bit further, misclicks are bound to happen lol. DZ is great for training hunter for sure, looking forward to seeing how this suggestion goes.

Very nice! My hardcore aspires to be like yours since he can't even kill Torag...
