First off i know this has been suggested many times and there's been many valid points however they're not shown together, so thats what i will be doing on this topic! And throwing in my own solution!
 

What is your suggestion?: Allow 250$+ rank to be transferred an extra time for a FEE!

Is this in OSRS?: NA

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: NA

How would this benefit Alora?: There's many players at the moment having very high donator ranks on their old mains, now alts, that dosen't even want to put the same amount of time into the game that they used to, cause the rank they spent days,months, some even years, have gone to waste cause of some limit? Come on, this is a RSPS, without having heard a reason why this is being declined i am only to make up my own conclusion being well. The staff is thinking that having the ranks transferrable more would make people donate less.

And let me tell you!
They won't, the strive for a higher rank or a name change ext, Is still there, currently with the highest rank ingame being Eternal theres a free transfer of rank at every 90 days anywho, the majority of people who want the rank transferred Isn't the ones who paid IRL $ For it, so for a fee, have them enjoy the game the way they used to?

The proposition i got thinking about is

100$ Custom dono= up to 1000$ rank transferred 
500$ Custom dono= All ranks are transferrable, 

Seeing as spending 1000$ to get a immortal moved, thats well insane hope you can see that since its basically half (almost) if it was a custom dono for rank,

 

Custom donos are still going to be sought after, everyday a new player gets wealth ingame, everyday a new player wants to up their rank,

If theres a rule for you staff made to be like Oh no no, this suggestion, and you've been told to instantly decline It, please give us the players a chance to have a say in this, I believe that from what's said in this post you can see that there will only be gain for all parties from this being implemented, So before you decline it, please post it in your staff chat asking if we can have it up for a week before the decision has been made!


 

 

Would love to hear some opinions on this. and maybe another proposition for the solution to this massively needed change.

Rowy.
 

 

 

We've already provided a free donator rank transfer for anyone with the $250+ rank. We've also added another free donator rank transfer to Uber+ (making it two), and Eternal donator has unlimited donator transfers. No one has ever shut down this kind of suggestion, we've always made minor tweaks for the community.

 

I believe Omicron has something up his sleeve for you guys in the future, patience brothers.

I agree for the most part. But imo it aint fair that people with a higher rank need to pay more for a rank transfer. They supported the server even more than the lower ranks and need to get rewarded for that and not pay even more for a rank transfer.

But i support this 100%. This is what most people want, and what is asked alot. Listen to the community, its a benefit for staff and players.

There are also a shit ton of gamemodes, but only 2 transfers for uber master and Immortal. These ranks supportes the server insanely. Give them more options then only 2 transfers.

Hello everyone, 

You may remember me from my post in the general section of the forum a few weeks back, asking for help on how to solo olm, I was relatively new to the game and struggled like many learners, i have since done 75+ raids where I did solo's, duo's & trio's to help others learn olm and get the enjoyment from raiding in chambers on alora.
I do truely believe this is one of the more fun and rewarding pieces on content to do, so I decided to make a short guide on an un-cut olm kill and make a written guide alongside it.
I by no means am going to claim I'm an amazing pvmer, (I'm not), I just want to show that the boss can easily be done with some practice and basic understanding of the mechanics!
Thanks in advance for reading / Watching.

-----------------

Written Guide: 

Olm's Specials overview ( & how to avoid / deal with them ):
Red Portal underneath you -> Run in a square as shown in the video with protect from melee on, waiting for a boulder to start appearing in the sky before moving on the the next marked tile while remaining on the opposite side of the head.
Green Crystal underneath you -> Quickly move away atleast one tile while not walking into the head's vision.
Green Lightning crossing verticaly on multiple rows -> To be safe, find an empty row, go to it and continue to run the head until they passed the center, after which you continue the fight.
Burn with me -> Can not be avoided, deals medciore damage overtime just eat up so you don't die if you mess up the mechanics.

Boulders falling in between phases & on the head phase -> stand atleast 2 tiles away from the impact & turn on protect from melee to reduce damage taken on hit.
Pools appearing on head phase -> Stand on them or turn on protect from magic to reduce damage taken.


Before Entering - 

Overload + Prayer Enchance if available before clicking the well - Equip melee gear with BGS/DWH - Go Downstairs 

Strategy: ( This'll go over the fight, dodge / avoid specials when possible, to read up on those, see above )
First Phase - 
Pray protect from magic & piety when entering, spec the melee hand once, put on your mage gear & magic might / augury and start attacking the mage hand until the head looks one way rather than being centered, afterwards turn on protect from melee & continue to attack the mage hand while remaining on the marked tiles shown in the video OPPOSITE of where the head is looking.
Once the mage hand dies, put on your melee gear & piety while still praying protect from melee, kill the melee hand while you keep running the head (staying on the opposite side of where it's looking).

Second Phase -

Pray Protect from magic & piety when the phase begins, double spec the melee hand, put on your tentacle/dhl/rapier/scythe and attack the melee hand until the head looks one way rather than being centered, afterwards turn on protect from melee & continue attacking the melee until the hand cripples ( it's no longer attackable / indicated by olm pulling his fingers inwards. ) Switch to your magic gear, pray magic might or augury rather than piety and attack the mage hand until the melee hand uncripples,
after which you rince and repeat by switching into your melee gear, turning on piety and attacking the melee hand until it cripples again.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not kill one of the hands until both of them are at ~10% hp, after which you start by killing the melee hand followed by the mage hand to prevent it from resetting.

Third & Final Phase / Head Phase -

Pray protect from melee & eagle eye / rigour + equip your range gear & attack the head while you continue to run the head. Whenever olm summons two pools, if one of them is nearby stand on it til it dissapears or turn on protect from magic till they disspear to reduce damage taken, then switch back to protect from melee and continue to attack the head, repeating this process til it's dead.

Awesome! Can't wait to get NOTHING at the drop party. Happy 4 Years!

Last year I made a suggestion on these transferrable donator ranks. This suggestion was left to be ignored for half a year. Then silently declined. For what reason would it be possible with a 20.000 dollar rank and not 10.000 dollar? And where does this end? Will we have 100K donator ranks in 4 years? And at what cost?

@Diva and @MT got nothing on me. Was a pleasure @Omicron.

I'll try to address all of the points you've proposed as best as I can so that you can see our side of this, as I now have a better insight into yours (and that of numerous other members of the community). Firstly, the Chambers of Xeric rework has certainly been in need of some attention to tie up the last few loose ends with it -- it was a huge update to change the raid from a single layout to a dynamically generated system and there were bound to be bugs, and while a few bugs being present is clearly not the issue here, I would like to apologize for the delay in these fixes being applied to the actual server. I know it is difficult to know exactly what goes on behind the scenes, and all of those bugs are actually already patched up (among a plethora of updates that are waiting to be pushed) but some unexpected IRL circumstances have caused us to push back the update schedule a few times this past month. Some staff members who've helped us beta test this week could also attest to the fact that we do have a sizeable update planned for this week, which you'll also be able to see for yourself shortly. Also, the idea that the Eternal donator rank has somehow slowed down the update schedule is simply incorrect, the Eternal donator rank has only been worked on the past few days, the rest of the month has been spent fixing up CoX and other bugs, as well as adding in a huge amount of new content (Tithe Farm, Mahogany Homes, new RuneLite plugins, a Vote Shop expansion, an in-game Lottery system, and much more). We know that there's no way for you to know that we're working on all of this, which leads me to my next point: communication. With that being said, hopefully you can also sympathize with us and understand that sometimes things happen in our lives that we cannot control.

 

 

Let’s go paragraph by paragraph so we make sure not to miss anything.. 

This thread couldn’t be posted at a better moment. I love this community but frankly I don’t think it will last if it’s going in this direction for any longer. From what I’ve seen people are going elsewhere, lack of forums activity compared to before, etc. There definitely has to be some changes, some points you’ve addressed are valid. Lack of communication, sudden changes like new donator status, veteran color change for this new rank. Personally I don’t mind the new rank and whatsoever. Just the communication is poorly. 

Time to say something ‘unimportant’ here too.....,

First of all @Kq head you’re a champ to express your feelings about this whole problem. I couldn’t agree more than what you have stated above.

Indeed, what noticed me this morning was the horrible ‘Veteran’ rank color imposter and I was like; What the fuck are you even doing Dan? Is this much more important than fixing up your server that has a bunch of bugs? Is this the part where you don’t give a damn about this server anymore and just want more money for your own goods? Whatever you do is up to you, but this is one of the reasons I have chosen OSRS over Alora. I think that if this keeps going on then many people will follow up leaving this server and find another place where their opinion matters.

Try to release more content polls, try to spend more attention on the small things. I’ve contacted you a month or two ago regarding the Scythe of vitur’s wrong angle. I do understand that the game has other priorities which you have said throughout PMS, but those small things only improves the server to the better one. Once again, this is all up to you.

:shrug:

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.

ly all

Couldn't have said it better.  Would love to know what Omi is working on during this month long dry spell.  Also, how does everyone know about a new donor rank coming? Where is this info coming from.
