#297291 Development Blog #6: Castle wars and more!

Posted by 3rdAttempt on 27 May 2019 - 12:18 PM

I can't wait for the glass-make spell! It's going to cut down the time making molten glass tremendously.

 

With that being said, I feel that Kraken being the only reliable source for seaweed should stay as such as far as NPCs go. It has a 1/43 chance of dropping 125 noted at a time. 2 other drops Kraken has that I'll combine for the sake of this argument is 50x unpowered orbs (1/64 chance) and 10x battlestaffs (1/32 chance) drops. The reason I put these 2 drops together is because Glass-Make is heavily used for making unpowered orbs, which leads to making elemental battlestaffs. This is a hearty crafting experience method, and I'll show as such using the HCIM exp rate of X6 with no bonuses active:

 

Making 1x molten glass = 120 exp

 

Making 1x unpowered orb = 315 exp

 

That is already 435 exp without making any staffs.

 

However, I would support a way of obtaining seaweed similar to how snape grass is collected along the shore by the Crafting Guild.

 

Can't wait for the other updates and the many more to come! Keep up the awesome work, @Omicron

#296662 Hide and Seek for Non-Donors with at least 24 hours played [update V2]

Posted by 3rdAttempt on 24 May 2019 - 04:26 PM

Hello all!

To kick off the weekend, at 12:00am Server Time I will be hosting Hide and Seek for all account types with a NON-DONOR status with at least 24 hours in-game time played. The winner will receive 1X Alora Bond (an 80M/$10 prize)! This is to help push players into wanting to dive deeper into the Alora community and discover the benefits of being a donator!

The reason I say 24 hours is because it helps prevent just anyone from receiving a bond and doing what they please with it; as I feel beginner Non-Donors who have invested that time are willing to stick around in the community. Though I am aware of plenty of alternate accounts that people use for skilling and what-have-you, I feel 24 in-game hours invested into any game is not too low but not too high for new players in the community.

The winner will have to present their time played by navigating to their game panel (Quest Tab), and clicking on their "Playtime". It must be 24 hours minimum. 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds will not count (sorry)! Good luck to all who participate!

Donator benefits can be found in the FAQ guide in the Alora Store on the left side of the screen!

***UPDATE*** Due due technical issues, I will be rescheduling the event. I will make another update here and in ::yell when I'm home and at my computer! Thank you all for your patience. There will be accommodation prizes for 2nd and 3rd place, so stay tuned!!

 

***UPDATE V2*** I will be re-hosting Hide-and-Seek at 12:00am server time. I have decided to add a 2nd and 3rd place winner to accommodate for having to reschedule. The prizes are now as followed:

 

1st: 1X Alora Bond

 

2nd: 3 Drop Boosters

 

3rd: 3 Pet Boosters

#294959 3rd King of the Skill Event - $250 + Prizes !

Posted by 3rdAttempt on 16 May 2019 - 05:10 PM

This seems like it can get people out of their comfort zone and try something new. This is definitely a challenge that's worth looking into. I'm still in the process of maxing my account, so I won't be participating. Good luck to everyone!

#294151 Super Glass Make

Posted by 3rdAttempt on 13 May 2019 - 02:22 AM

I'd also like to see more lunar spells coded into Alora. Omicron does a good job with adding new content, so I can't wait to see what he does in the future. I support this!




#293620 Regarding My Demotion.

Posted by 3rdAttempt on 10 May 2019 - 11:02 PM

It's good to see you taking your demotion as an opportunity to learn. Some people would have easily threw a fit about it and stopped playing all together. It'll be nice to still see you around, whether you have a staff icon or not!

This looks absolutely wild! Thank you so much! I literally got out of my computer-chair and walked to the kitchen and back. This is even better than spot on with the details I gave about the idea. Ridiculously amazing work @Blue Jay




#293357 Hello

Posted by 3rdAttempt on 09 May 2019 - 12:40 PM

Glad that you found Alora! It is a great community here. If you ever need any help or have questions about anything, there are plenty of people and clans who are more than willing to lend a helping hand. Enjoy your stay here!




#293087 Alora Newspaper [5/2/2019]

Posted by 3rdAttempt on 07 May 2019 - 01:14 PM

I believe there are people in the Alora community that don't realize that staff can be lenient with what people say. Everyone sees it in their respective Clan Chats and the ;;yell that sometimes language gets a little out of hand. Yes, it is just an online game and people are entitled to their own opinions; but sometimes people seem to take advantage of that and take it a bit too far and not consider the repercussions outside of "I'll just make another account" or quitting the game all together.

I believe any modifications to those specific set of rules are healthy for the Alora community.




#293058 2K Total/ Max Account/ Completionist Cape

Posted by 3rdAttempt on 07 May 2019 - 11:21 AM

Now that I (well, have been) am invested into this HCIM account, I eventually want to have it maxed. The short term goal is to get 2,000 total level for the badge on my profile. But at the time of making this post my total level is 1,991. My hunter has been level 1 since I started, so I finally forced myself to train it to get the total level up.

 

With 6 level 99 stats, and a 7th extremely close-at-hand, I still have a long way to go before I max. However, the grind is still strong, and so is my dedication to Alora.

 

As far as the Completionist Cape, the achievements are what is going to hinder my process. Though I currently have 36/54 completed, the 2 wilderness achievements and Mage Arena 2 are going to be the hardest one, for obvious reasons.

 

In time, though, I hope to be on the first page in the leader boards still standing as an HCIM. I am currently #86 including the HCIMs that fell, #77 not counting fallen HCIMS (pushed up on the boards appropriately)




#293053 Staff Update 5/4/19

A well deserved promotion for Fear7heduck. I always see him in the Alora clan chat helping everyone. He's very knowledgeable and has taught me quite a few things.

 

Congratulations to everyone else!




#292800 A Long Overdue Introduction

Posted by 3rdAttempt on 06 May 2019 - 04:18 AM

@Moral truth I'm actually sitting at 1,944 total currently. I'm almost there to the 2K badge for my profile :D

#292753 A Long Overdue Introduction

Posted by 3rdAttempt on 05 May 2019 - 10:21 PM

Hello, everyone! Since my time and many accounts/account-types on Alora since April 2017, I have never done an introduction post.

Some of you might know or might remember me from my other aliases: Jumex, ICE Jumex, or more recently BenQMonk and BenQMonkRise.

As previously said, I came to Alora in April of 2017. Since then, I've had a couple normal accounts, Elite Iron Man, Classic, and 3 HCIM accounts (this being my third).

BenQMonk fell to KBD because... Well... For those that don't know, I fell asleep as my Anti-Poison ran out, woke up seconds after death, and the rest is history.

BenQMonkRise fell to a guard dog. Yes, the guard dog in the gated house in Ardougne. I clicked to go pickpocket the Master Farmer, but I looked at my phone when what I thought was en route. Only to look up and see me at the lever. Once again.

PvM is my favorite thing to do here in Alora; as well as helping the community with questions whenever I can. PM me any time, and I'll help out to the best of my abilities!
