INTRODUCTION

The first time I discovered Runescape was back in 2008. A neighborhood friend introduced me to the website/game. I remember being in elementary and entering the world of Gielinor for the first time. It was like love at first sight. An instant connection was made and the rabbit hole continued to expand as I grew older. Fifteen years later and this game still draws me back.

Being older now with limited time due to work, I am looking to relive my Runescape experience through Alora (quicker rates). I heard nothing but great things about it's staff and community and chose to give it a shot. It has been about a month since I started Alora (10/20/2023) and have kept up consistently since then. My experience thus far has been phenomenal. 

I am looking forward to meeting as many of you as I possibly can! Shoutout to the staff and development team that have made my experience so far an enjoyable one. 

Support! We shouldn't be making dead content more inconvenient.

I'm just glad it's over lol. Wintertodt for 24 hours is not the definition of a good time

In-game name: poptart267
Timezone: EST
Discord: trillington

looking for one more person to start a NEW group with that will play on a somewhat consistent basis and can record their progress for a youtube series (I will edit it just need the footage).

If you are interested, please reach out to me!

EDIT: GROUP IS FULL

No support - the amount of logs that will be turned into planks depends on your donator rank, so changing this would remove a perk from every rank.

+1 support. Also scale for solo pls

 

DONATIONS:

I think we already have enough bonusses available, we dont need a boss drop rate boost.
Raids take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes depending on what raid and what invocs you run.
The average boss kill takes about 1 minute.
+ We already have drop boosters and donor rank drop rate bonus no need for any more.

+1 support "Get good" is a horrible argument. Waiting around for weeks to find some people in my time zone to get a group of people together to do my 5 runs for diaries was hard enough, finding groups for grinding it after was even worse. We can solo/duo the other 2 raids, why not this one? More people would be running it if you only had to find one person, instead of 3-4. I get certain individuals are proud of their accomplishments on a PS, but many of us come on to have fun without grinding as hard as OSRS.

100% agree with this. It's quite overwhelming asking a team that says need +1 tob when you aren't that good in the raid.

 

Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing the normal mode have this lower scaling and hard mode remaining the same with better loot rates.

 

This way the solo/duos can start with normal mode to "git gud" then join the 3-5 players in hard mode for better loot rates. Everyone wins! Well apart from the boosters :kekw:

Not surprising to get such a clueless take from this individual.

Nice personal attack, I wonder why you're not welcome to dissenting opinions from your own. The overwhelming majority of support on this thread illustrates a need for this.

Again "just get good" is not an argument when there's nobody running ToB 90% of the time. Why shouldnt high level players just enjoy hardmode and let newer, lesser skilled players have fun in NM with 1 or 2 of their friends instead of needing to find 3 or 4?

It's not just a lack of drive, it's demotivation from the fact that you have to keep 3+ people online for long periods of time often times with repeated wipes as you're learning. Not everyone is inside of a CC, not everyone has high level friends willing to take them.

I understand it can be hard for you and other high level players to emphasize with the perspective of a new player but if alora is meant to grow new players and those not in the high level community should have their opinions heard as they are here in this thread.

ToB is not the hardest content in the game, 500+ invo ToA, inferno, and soon™ DS2 awakened variants are.

Gnomonkeys is also my favorite streamer so at least we have that in common

No way the gatekeepers are saying no support lollllll

lmaoo Mack on a personal mission right here to fuck 98% of the Alora players, why should we cater to the wishes off one individual. If u want to sweat and 2 tick TOB by all means go play OS.

TOB isn't the hardest content in the game, PvP is

 

Also the people saying no to this suggestion don't even do duos lmao, they do 4-5 man raids with boosting service, so I don't see what the issue is here? We're not asking 3-5 man TOB to be easier

@Mack Incorrect, you're making personal attacks I'm questioning the motivating factors behind someone's opinion. We're all self interested that's not a personal attack, it's just a logical analysis of the situation and the parties within.

Again, you're the one missing the point. Making the scaling more friendly at NM WILL increase overall completions statistically speaking it's impossible for a lower barrier to complete to result in less completions directly.

You previously opposed ToB drop rate changes, are largely responsible for the major overhaul of ToB and created a discord group to profit off the difficulty people have in completing ToB (for diaries), ToB achievements, etc.

You fail to offer any recourse for new and less experienced players other than an entry mode that has highly reduced if not entirely eliminated drop rates.

I question what is it about new players, or those less skilled or with less gear being able to duo ToB that hurts the game overall to such a degree that it outweighs the sad sad state that ToB is in now?

Scythes dropped in price by 2x and no change to ToB activity caused that, most items in TP don't sell anyways bc of a lack of demand (less new players, and people doing ToB where those items are most useful).

What harm does it cause players to have to redo speedruns
