Charizard

[14/2/22] Hotfixes:

• General fixes:
  • Fixed an issue with bugged ladders in the Gnome stronghold.
  • Fixed an issue with the Farmers blessing teleports only showing numbers.
  • Hitmarkers were previously only able to display a hit of up to 255, but sometimes we need to display higher amounts. We've changed this to allow us to display the correct amount.
    • For example, when Nex heals herself at the start of the Zaros phase, she heals for 500 hitpoints, which was only showing up as 255 previously.
• Nex changes:
  • Nex's primary attack projectiles have been slowed down slightly to look more smooth.
  • Shadow smash attack animation has been fixed.
  • Cough immunity:
    • After a coughing spell, you will now be immune to catching another cough for 10 seconds.
      • This should prevent players from endlessly coughing, and once you realize that you've stopped coughing you can keep your distance from other players who are coughing.
  • Players can now note and un-note items on Ashuelot Reis.
  • You will no longer be spammed with the "You have run out of Prayer points" message while coughing due to Nex's clouds.
  • Event Managers can now enable Nex bonus loot rate, providing up to a 20% higher chance of loot for all uniques and the Nexling.
  • If Nex uses Blood Siphon more than once, and there are still Blood Reavers alive in the room, they will now heal Nex for their remaining HP before they die and the new reavers are spawned.
    • Nex will display purple heal marks to denote how much she was healed for.
  • Reavers will no longer "overlap" each other when spawning, and will now be spaced out properly.
  • As soon as Nex reaches one of her hitpoints thresholds (eg. 80% hp is when Fumus fights), any extra incoming damage that hasn't hit her yet will be nullified.
  • When Nex is healed (eg. Blood barriage), the heal markers will be displayed at all times.
  • The Ancient Barrier color will now properly update (red when you are inside fighting Nex, otherwise purple).
  • In private instances, previously you would not be able to enter after the Nex fight had begun.
    • This has been changed to allow you to enter mid-fight, the same way you can enter the main room.
  • All Nex rare loot will now be announced (previously some items like the Torva helm would not be).
  • Altar changes:
    • A message to let you know that your HP/run/special energy have been restored has been added if you are wearing a Zaros item while using the altar.
  • Torva items are now tradable.
  • Torva platebody bonuses have been fixed.

Your suggestion has been accepted.

 

 

Still not quite there yet, but I'm working on it! Also have all quests done except Dragon Slayer 2 :)

What is your suggestion?: Please if on Bracelet of Ethereum, the option of removing the ether you have accumulated when the toggle to pick them up automatically, to add it so that you can remove all that ether from it and have the option to add X amount of ether to it just as the weapons.

Is this in OSRS?: Yes

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: no

How would this benefit Alora?: This will provide quality of life since many people might not know that if you toggle the bracelet to auto pick ether, they won't be able to take them back. Even if uncharge the item, it only provides 250 ether. That way you have a way to farm ether and be able to remove it to put the amount you think its wise to put. 

100% agree with this. For the longest time, I've always wanted an expansion/revamp of the highscores to showcase a lot more information such as Boss KC, Clues, Points, Achievements, and any other in-game player information. Also, no need to rain on your parade or anything, but I would label this as a website/forum suggestion, not a game suggestion

What is your suggestion?: I'd like to see "Hunters Crossbow" added to alora

Is this in OSRS?: Yes

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: Not that i know off

How would this benefit Alora?: I think this would diversify and give pkers more options in pking setups, and most likely revive the Pure pking bracket

What is your suggestion?:

add the ability to load a determined amount of ether to rev weapons. example you have 5000 ether in invent but only want to load 1000.

Is this in OSRS?:

unsure

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:

no

How would this benefit Alora?:

QOL update for all but can be a huge update for ultimate ironmen not having access to bank to removed x amount. we can either completely load rev weapons or not load at all, there is no in between unless we go out to get ether after each time we run out.

Definitely agree that clan chats are well in dire need of some love. 

 

Thank you @f1nally for making this suggestion and providing some good details with sources to clarify.

Fellow Alorians,

 

New Chambers of Xeric is under fire, so I decided to give my opinion on a slice of it, Olm.

In my opinion OSRS Olm fight is a lot easier, so I'd love to move towards that.

Besides that there are a lot of bugs that would be fixed if we would get this suggestion accepted!

 

This topic was made with the help of @GIMP Happy who has a lot more experience with raids on OSRS than me.

He helped me get the basics and I looked up the information using the good old trusty www.oldschool.runescape.wiki!

 

I'll be talking about multiple parts of the Olm fight, so I'd appreciate if you address them by number and don't randomly say no to all.

I put effort into the suggestion, I expect effort in feedback to it.

 

Some parts of this are definitely a bug. So if Omi could reach out to me about them, I can report them separately!

 

 

1. Olm head auto and phase-unique attacks

Olm head can not attack you while head running due to his blindness. If he can't attack you this counts as a skip for his attack cycle.

Attacks consists of: Standard attacks (mage/range), spheres (red, green, purple) and phase-unique attacks. (Acid Spray, Acid Drip, Deep Burn and Falling Crystals)

 

2. Olm left hand attacks

Olm can not cast a special attack unless 2 auto attacks have happened. (1 skip = 1 auto attack as mentioned above)

Olm can also not cast abilities while his left hand is clenched / disabled.

Olm can also not cast multiple attacks at the same time.

 

3. Olm left hand

Olm can not clench his left hand while the right hand is disabled. He can also not clench it in the 3rd phase.

During the 3rd phase. He can only heal after the swap/pairing special attack. (Heal replaces clench)

 

 

Why would I like to see these changes:

Suggestion 1 would make it so we would take less damage.

Suggestion 2 would make it so we would lake less damage and make the fight less chaotic and more systematic. Making it easier for people to learn.

Suggestion 3 would speed up the kill, because at the moment Olm can just heal, clench, heal, ... . Which is a bug.

 

These changes are rewarding for people that know how to raid, and its easier to learn.

 

 

Terminology:

Clenched hand means Olm is protecting his hand.

Disabled hands are hands that have been brought to 0 hp and Olm has pulled down.
Pairing, teleports and swap all mean the same. It is the attack where Olm pairs up 2 players.

Crystal burst / spikes both mean the same. It is the attack where Olm puts spikes under the player.

 

If there is anything you don't understand please let me know! 

The wiki has not logged the new drop changes yet, so I'm going to wait until they do that, since I don't know how many/which blighted items are dropped by each revenant.

A bit late, but just want to thank @17 for running this wonderful fundraiser, we've donated $500 to support the cause :)

Don't really see the need. Not like it's a rare unique or anything.

Hello Alorians and welcome to the second episode of the podcast. Due to some unfortunate brain lag complications I am a day late with the upload. Today @Hors and me will talk about our own pking experiences. I hope you enjoy todays episode!

 

He... doesn't like pizza....? Is this acceptable behavior of an alora staff member?
