This month I will be interviewing: Morgen and IM Moe
Mr. Zulrah himself :DoggoKek:  and our own Arabian Knight!
 
 
Welcome to the casting couch Morgen!!!
 
Groot: If you could travel anywhere in the world for free where would you go and why?

Morgen: I'd go to Spain, I've been there before and loved it the weather was always lovely and the McDonald's is the best I've ever had, for real its great, and my grandad saw Bale out there (football player) when he went.


Groot: What do you enjoy the most about alora? (I'll guess its zulrah)

Morgen: I'd say it's a tie between Zulrah and the community, obviously I love Zulrah I've spent most of my time on Alora killing it but the community it great specifically the memes and reactions of people getting low drop items, people loose there minds including myself when someone gets a low mutagen or pet :)


Groot: When you're not playing alora what do you enjoy doing? Whether it's another game or something in the outside world.

Morgen: I think my favourite thing to do when not playing Alora is movie nights, I always love watching films and so many great ones this year.

Groot: Any of them in particular?

Morgen: Marvel films, I am a huge nerd when it comes to superhero films
I am also excited for John Wick 3



Groot: What are some of your favorite foods?

Morgen: Am a simple man, am tied between fish and chipe or pizza and garlic bread


Groot: If there was anything you could do in the world before you died what would you do and why?

Morgen: That's a tough question because there is so much in the world to do, am a simple man, I'd love to different places and try out there food, I love food. I'd go to every country and see who has the best fried chicken legit, that's sounds like the dream


Groot: What is your favorite era of history?

Morgen: In my opinion my favourite specific area in history was when the computers were made it was called "The Z1" and created in the late 1930s, I think it's crazy how far we have come since and continue to.


 
 
 
The Man, The Myth, The Legend.. IM Moe!!

Groot: What do you find the most enjoyable within alora?

IM Moe: The most enjoyable thing about Alora has to be the community and staff team. As cliche as that sounds, it is mostly just for the memes. A lot of friendship bonds have been forged, and there is always entertainment around the corner. I've never been apart of such an awesome gaming community.


Groot: What would the perfect dinner menu consist of?

IM Moe: I think it would have to be some Egyptian Macaroni Bechamel (it is the same as greece pastitsio) as the main dish, with a side of sirloin steak. I would also have some hummus on the side with some grilled pita bread.


Groot: If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go and why?

IM Moe:If I could travel anywhere in the world, I would go to Amsterdam. I've been to some other countries, but away from scenery there are things in Amsterdam I would love to try that I shouldn't discuss here. :wink:


Groot: If you had the ability to go back in time and change anything within the course of history. What would you change and why?

IM Moe: I think I would go back and stop 9/11, and also warn all government agencies of the outcomes from providing too much trust into operatives and operations. I think over the course of time, people have begun to realize the governments of all countries do shady shit for stupid results. I would love to fix that, because all it leads to is racism and violence.


Groot:What would your dream car/truck/SUV be if you had no limitations on expenses?

IM Moe:The 900hp Brabus Mercedes Benz Maybach S650 for sure. Perfect mix of luxury and sport. The fucking features are ridiculous. (Twin turbo V12:heart_eyes:)
 


Groot: What is your most prideful achievement you've achieved in your life?

IM Moe: During my junior year of high school, I was able to purchase my first sports car via cryptocurrency. I actually had to leave school early (called dad, told him to make an excuse and pick me up so I can go sell the coins.


Groot: If you could change anything or add anything into Alora what would you do?

IM Moe: I would love for Omicron to add a PK tournament NPC that runs everyday outside of the weekend events, Ive suggested it before but it was closed not declined.

#303035 Dynasty's Third Month of CoX and ToB Loot

Posted by Aritus on 01 July 2019 - 01:17 AM

This is very fascinating, you either straight up copied the layout from my clans topics, or we inspired you, either one wouldn't surprise me at all.

If you just copied it, That's really disappointing, @Eim ash . You can literally click on both Prayer Scroll images and you get your answer. We did nothing to get this in return.

Nonetheless, the loot is tremendous and i would love to see more of these topics, possibly with a more original template/layout.

I truly understand that you guys may think that Dynasty copied the whole format from your clan, but actually they got inspired by the former clan Phereus.

Here u can see that we posted our drop loots way back before ICE dropped their first: https://www.alora.io...s-loot-week-19/

The confusion of the copyright may be seen, but Ashkal clearly asked if he may use our headers to post their raids monthly drop thread. I allowed it, however we didn’t use spoilers back then.

Here is the screenshot of our conversation of asking the headers: https://gyazo.com/d0...43d30d153010783

Here is the topic that Dynasty dropped their first drop thread where you see that @iron 2ridic (ex Phereus member) suggested the Raids dropthread suggestion: https://www.alora.io...x-and-tob-loot/

So if you guys think if Dynasty copied from ICE I can tell you that they did certainly NOT copied from you guys. For sure not their intentions. Our apologize for the confusion.

OT: I’m glad to see all the drops, may there be more in the future! Good job Dynasty clan!


#303032 Dynasty's Third Month of CoX and ToB Loot

Posted by 2 Ridiculous on 01 July 2019 - 12:31 AM

@king purple

Bro I'm sorry in advanced, but who really gives a shit about copying a raids 'layout'.... that sounds so petty to me.

If anything, you should see it as a compliment that someone else thought it was nice enough to use for themselves. This hit me the wrong way. Hell I bet the pictures were copy and pasted somewhere off google anyways to begin with. There's the same 'Xerics' picture on Pherus's loot topic... come on lmao.

It's annoying watching 2 admins both bashing/posting negative comments on dynasty's recent topics.

edit: if anything I don't see why you wouldn't be professional and take this to @Eim ash Private messages to begin with.


#302959 Theater of Blood Drop rates

Posted by Detharrow26 on 30 June 2019 - 03:43 PM

Personally I think there needs to be a way to make purples more common to low donors, cos they can easily go over 100 dry and it will ruin their game experience.

 

Neverthless I went 100 dry twice, once as Uber and once as Master - and all my raids are consistent in the way I earn my points - BUT what is not consistent is who I raid with. I noticed that both by 100 dry streaks occured when I raided only with high donors/good gear players. Meanwhile I would get lots of purples (even a b2b) when i raided with low gear/low donor noobs. This leads me to thinking that the way ToB is coded here makes it so that a high points discrepancy between players in a team will lead to more chance of a purple for the MVP.

 

This "consipracy theory" of mine is even support by a post Omi made:

 

6424150558878a57a756788182ef7065.png

 

This led me to think that the code which weights drop rate according to individual performance will not work if all players were 5 Tbowers and had almost even points. Meanwhile if you had 2 tbowers 3 noobs, the factor that Omi mentions will kick in and more purples will show up for the MVPs.

@iron aritus Rapier isnt rarer than scythe for sure, it may seem that way due to rng but omi has confirmed the rate of obtaining which item when you hit a purple:

This was made in line with the following reddit post (since Jamflex hasnt said anything about it):

#302325 Theater of Blood Drop rates

Posted by Eim ash on 27 June 2019 - 09:25 AM

One point I could make is that CoX has easily 2.5x more items that run on the drop table. So of course you're going to see an increased amount of drops from CoX than TOB. But with that being said we did in the past increase and fix the drop rates of TOB though I feel it really didn't do its justice.

I personally feel that the Ghrazi Rapier is far more rare than a Scythe of Vitur. Just look at the loot threads of ICE and Dymasty. It really shows just how rare these higher tier drops can be.

My only worry is possibly overcompensating the drop rate of TOB. We don't want a HUGE influx of these super rare and prestigious items to just completely flood the economy. It almost defeats the entire purpose of raiding in general.

Should I go dry in TOB? Yes most definitely
Should I go 100+ dry without a single drop? Yes and no. Yes simply because RNG was not in your favor. No because RNG should be weighted a bit more to be quite frank.

I will remain neutral for the time being but I do feel something should be done to give us the players more incentive to do TOB. It's extremely irritating that nobody wants to do TOB at all just for this simple fact. I personally see the same handful of people doing TOB over CoX nearly every night.

true what u said and its all in rng.. tho take a look at prayer scrolls in tp.. maybe a suggestion to make p scroll rarer? its like 70m or someshit when it was 130-160m...

anyways i wouldn't mind tob drop rate to be higher as i am 53 dry and master dono :o which doesn't happen in cox, support.

#302266 Theater of Blood Drop rates

Posted by Check list on 26 June 2019 - 08:38 PM

I completely agree on this as well. Took me 80 kc for my first drop. And now I'm 116 dry atm. That shouldn't be happening because honestly osrs has better drop rates. On top of that in 84 Cox dry. I've put in over 100 hours in raids the past weeks and got no reward out of it
