gim holder

I can understand and appreciate why @Omicron wants this new system. I can see that if players just used a abyssal whip/tent everywhere you'd inadvertly be making weapons like the Abyssal Bludgeon worthless since you can just use the whip/tent at KQ, Cerberus, and other bosses that should require a different niche weapon to attack.

 

The ONLY thing I didn't like was the major change in damage, and/or accuracy (thinking of things like the Gauntlet, Kree'Arra, and other bosses that are taking 2x as long to kill as before). Reading the update originally it made me feel like bossing would actually be quicker than before if using the right gear, but even in BIS post nerfes bossing still feels much slower even with proper gear and that's what I hope gets taken into account more and gets tested much more from this system and the old one.

We had a look at Twisted bow accuracy again, and we did find a bug causing the accuracy to be lower than intended (not damage though). We’re working on getting this accuracy to match the OSRS calculators 1:1 and then we will push a fix. As for other bosses such as Venenatis/Callisto, those are super tanky bosses that are meant to be difficult to hit. Even the OSRS strategy guide says that your best bet for Venenatis is to us either Ruby bolts (because other ranged attacks won’t hit) or Verac if meleeing.

After matching OSRS’s accuracy system (aside from Twisted bow and a few bosses/forms that have incorrect stats), we also apply a boost to the final accuracy because it is an RSPS and players want to feel like they’re hitting more often, which we understand. We currently set that boost at 20% and for most bosses and monsters, it seems fine, but that number could be adjusted.

I know that hitting every single time is a nice feeling, but I’m hoping that we can find a middle ground where we stay true to the mechanics of OSRS (requiring you to plan out your gear depending on what you’re fighting against), while also providing a slightly enhanced/easier experience that you’d expect from an RSPS.

We’ll be fixing the Twisted bow in a reboot tonight to make it as accurate as it should be, and we’ll continue to look into the stats on different bosses and make sure they all match up. If that doesn’t cut it, we can look at increasing that 20% boost if it’s what the community wants, or we can potentially nerf a few problematic bosses (Venenatis is unnecessarily tanky imo). Either way, we’ll figure it out and find something that we’re all comfortable with.

I appreciate the feedback Omi, as far as wilderness boss's I don't think we should strive to match OSRS considering they themselves are having issues with how tanky they are and seek an adjustment in the future. I personally think we should leave those how we had it until OSRS further nerfs their version to see what they come up with if that's what the community would want. Really appreciate your looking into this though I know this whole update was done with good intention and can appreciate trying to make PvM more intertaining for us all

@ Omicron do you think we might see a hot fix soon?

No support. I can imagine this would require some custom coding and could be hard to implement an alternative would be to use the marketplace which can be found here https://www.alora.io...15-marketplace/

I don't see the excuse as 'it's too hard' valid enough to skip an update that could be beneficial for the long run of the server to keep the eco moving. Although yes there's a forums market place, the entire player base in a whole is not too active on the forums for it to be optimal. This would also help avoid cluttering it with these types of buy/sell offers and leave it for custom donations or anything else it can be used for that can't be traded on the TP. 

 

 

I believe this has been suggested in the past and declined. 

I personally would not want to see this added in because you can already see in the TP there are some items that are worth 2k gp ea being sold for 200m each which in turn will cause many issues with players abusing the plat tokens through trading post with offered for items like serp helm being put in for 1m plat tokens (some players might think it is only 1m coins causing that player to then quit because they were "scammed" through the trading post)

 

for me, its No support.

Well that should be a non-issue, we aren't going to differentiate that they're selling for plat tokens or coins, it'll soley say 1m coins or 5b coins, the game itself would pull the money either via coins or platinum tokens.

Simple but nice QoL, full support
