Hello everyone!
 
We are bringing back the development blogs! From now on, we are focusing on bringing the newer content to you before it actually gets implented into the game. This way the community will have a brief idea of upcoming newer content and features, in addition to bug fixes and Quality of Life updates.
 
But without further speech, lets get into the development blog. This time around we have many client-sided improvements, additions and appearance-related things, so that way people can customize their client the way they prefer to play.

 

 

 

As a first update, we are looking forward to updating game settings interface. The current version of the interface is relatively outdated and in order to give the best possible experience to players who like to play with advanced settings, we are bringing a newer, modernized version of the game settings interface.

 

 

 

 

We are also planning to give clans a little bit more features to play with. In the past we released collection log announcements for clan-chats, which have been proven to be relatively popular. Now we are amping it up by giving clan owners a chance to choose the minimum rank necessary for those messages to show, and also give them a possibility to announce completed achievements and bossing personal bests. We hope that it gives the clans a more pleasant experience and activity in building discussions and friendships. 

 

​

 

Items kept on death interface is getting an easier but modern version. That version of interface also will show the items that go to untradeable shop, giving players easier time to understand of what they are risking in the wilderness.

 

 

 

 

This one is for data lovers like me! Have you seen the player "ITEM_CONSUMER" buy your items? Have you ever wondered what items have been bought by the system? If so, then you are in for a treat! We are bringing statistical side of the item consumption device, which is accessible to every player, and shows how many items have been bought by the device. But be careful, if you see the smoke near trading post, then it is not a job for the firefighters!

 

​/>

 

 

Also, if you have been bothered by the way how chatbox is closed and private messages/broadcasts are shown, then this GIF below is for you:

 

 

 

Equipment stats have more information now!

 

 

 

No more "pc twisted bow"! The new price guide interface is showing the estimated value of certain items. And if you dont have the item yet, then you can search for it!

 

​

 

 

Presets are getting changed, now you can choose a fancy icon to decorate the way presets look, and much more!

 

 

 

 

We are looking forward to share more upcoming content in the next development blog! Make sure to keep in mind that those are newer additions to the game, that will come with plenty of bugfixes and QoL updates.

Any feedback regarding development blogs is always appreciated, we are excited to show some of the stuff we have been working on.

 

 

Wishing you a great week,

Alora Staff Team

Your suggestion has been accepted.

What is your suggestion?:Reduce the amount of damage last phase of verzik does while praying correctly

Is this in OSRS?:yes

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:no

How would this benefit Alora?:Verzik on the last phase does a lot of damage even if you are praying correctly (i think max is 18 havent been hit higher than this on pray yet). Feel like it would be better for alora if this was halved or have her max on pray like 12 :shrug:

Your suggestion has been accepted.

@mochiii It's in the works but it's turning out to be an incredibly complex technical challenge that may take years if not decades to figure out.

No support, it's abundantly clear what has happened to the OSRS wilderness after Singles + was implemented. There's countless video essays from PKers who've shown why it was a bad update. 

 

It kills an entire method of gameplay being Team PKing and kills many historic areas of the wilderness like Mage bank. Deep wild PKing has always had an advantage for larger teams but there's many adequate measures in place to protect Singles or smaller team PKers as well. 

 

As I do stand to benefit from the current way there is an obvious bias but those who are in favor of changing it also have a biased perspective as they stand to benefit with the change. 

 

Killing an entire method of PKing that literally FORCES people to work as teams and has historically in Alora seen dominant teams change over as little as a few months simply because the ones not with the advantage currently are upset doesn't make sense when our wilderness struggles to be active as is. 

 

Let's not forget it also has negative impacts on singles outlast PKing as well as all your opponent has to do is hug a wall, or freeze DD and log out and there's no counter to an action that is almost entirely RNG based. 

 

Tl;dr don't force change, just encourage other teams to become active. 

 

 

1. How was it a bad update, wildy pking is more alive than ever.

 

2. It doesn't kill team pking, thats what multi is for.

 

3. Can you name any measures in place to protect solo pkers from teams, because i can't think of any.

 

4. By working as a team you mean dumping specs and resetting to do it again, theres no skill in that. In singles people should be rewarded for being the better pker, having a larger number of people shouldn't be an advantage in an area called singles.

 

5. I don't see how wall hugging and dding are a negative impact on singles pking when the alternative is that your friend with full supplies and spec can hit them. How is that a positive to singles pking?

What is your suggestion?: Change the PJ timer to 20 ticks (12 seconds) like osrs has

Is this in OSRS?: Yes

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: No

How would this benefit Alora?: This would benefit Alora by removing the advantage that bigger groups have in singles combat; thats what multi is for. Also removes peoples ability to abuse dumping specs and resetting.

I was that HC that died in your time gone :kekw: anyways welcome back and Gl with the grinds

Damn dude sucks that you went down! Appreciate the kind words brotha!

Sup. I'm Xens.

I'm new to Alora, and I thought why not make the time I play on this server fun so I decided to
set the challenge of maxing every skill to it's XP cap..

One at a time.

On an HCIM account.

I'll be updating this post every time I hit a milestone, get a nice drop/pet, any random occurrences..

And finally hitting 200m XP in a skill of course.

I'm don't doing this in the fastest way possible, I'm going to make it fun including different ways of gaining loot via skilling
as well as collecting high kill counts of mobs whilst maxing skills out so I hope you all look forward to that.

I'm beginning this challenge with thieving so I'll be at the stalls in Edgeville for awhile, so come say hi.

For future skills, let me know ideas you have of ways I can gain XP whilst doing some fun stuff. If I like your idea, I'll
dedicate 25m XP to that idea.

Thanks for reading.

WEEK ONE

SO! We've made big progress! But we've also found a crux in this challenge..

HP will be trained no matter what, so I have allowed the training of HP alongside all skills.
 

With all that being said, I'll catch you all next week with my next update. :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WEEK SIX

OKAY! Hey guys, I'm back with week six of updates! A tad late as I've been a bit busy with work and such, but here we go!

Last week I mentioned I was staying at Draynor Master Farmer for a few days, and the results we're definitely interesting.

So all of these seeds are what you could potentially gain from staying there for 3-4 days, pretty cool honestly.
(The herb seeds being the main focus, the rest a basically placeholders)

Is it worth it for a casual player? Hell no. For a HCIM wanting to play it safe or just wanting an easily AFK method with no rush? Sure, why not.

Besides that my week was pretty uneventful, that was the main part of what I did really and once I finished the 3-4 day task I went back to pickpocketing Heroes in Ardy.

We're sitting at 120M XP right now, and climbing slowly. I'm in no rush to gain the 200M right now, and now I've done that last fun task I'm definitely not going to be doing huge updates until I reach it.

So this time, meaning it seriously not like week five.. I'll catch you all when I'm done. :)


In the mean time, be sure to keep up with the other great guys and gals posting their progress in Goals & Achievements.

Big props to GIM Clipsy for his Inferno Pet drop, and H with his incredible progress on his UIM! (Go check out their threads!)
