It Happened

Would be nice if these were added in addition to a donator zone rework that was suggested a few weeks ago.

Support.

What is your suggestion?: Adding farming patches to dz2 and dz, 2 allotments, 1 herb patch, 1 flower patch, 1 bush patch and 1 tree patch

Is this in OSRS?: No

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: No

How would this benefit Alora?: giving an extra reason to use dz and dz2

sorry for the scuffed mic settings but i did it a while back

 

I do think that a polling system similar to what jagex uses (but on a smaller scale, naturally) would be beneficial to determine what changes are actually wanted and not wanted by the community

What is your suggestion?:

Revert gwd boss mechanics to how they were. Bandos for example would not range if you were in melee distance, now it range attacks you randomly. I understand it was partially for CA's, but it made it so much worse, along with Zilyana

Is this in OSRS?: No

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:

No, and no one asked for this change.

How would this benefit Alora?:

It would make bossing as easy as it should be, considering we're on a rsps and not trying to be 100% like osrs. I think these type of changes should be polled to the community before making content more unappealing to the masses.

 

These types of changes have been happening far(TOB) more often with little consideration to what the player base actually wants. Sure you'll have a sweaty gamer liking it, but most players play Alora to not have to do harder pvm on osrs, not to mention every player who got the pet prior is lucky considering new pet grinds will take much longer and much more supplies.

 Today I've reached my "Long term" goal and that is....Completionist cape on my Elite Ironman, also 3rd time achieving completionist across all my accounts. I was playing solo for the entire time.

 

As for the 200ms, I went for Thieving, Farming and Ranged.

Thank you all for the good vibes! Yeh it will come soon enough!

 

 

Aftermath CC is an all game-modes clan that doesn't take themselves, or this game too seriously. We're here to have some fun, and not to treat this game like an Olympic sport, now if this sounds like you please feel free to apply to Alora's most popular non-helpcc at the following: Aftermath - PvM/Skilling - All Game Modes - Clan Recruitment - Alora RSPS | Oldschool MMORPG

 

 

 

Although we do have requirements to become full members, we also have a trial rank that allows you 30 days to not only complete the requirements but also to get vibe checked by the homies. Without further rambling I bring to you Alora's Finest: Aftermath. 

 

 

 

 

 

This month we have a few changes to the Higher-Ups and are excited for what the future has to bring.

 

Promotions:

 

We congratulate @saeed for his promotion to the Gold Star Gang.

 

Additions:

 

We welcome back @St8 as Captain from his brief hiatus to touch grass and lift weights.

 

 

Resignations:

 

None - Congrats guys.

 

 

 

 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

 

 

 

We have officially met with @Paragon and they have recognized their untimely demise and they made a laughably brief attempt to join our ranks before they were ridiculed and given the swift boot out after unsightly screenshots leaked of their discussions about our beloved Tekk3rs. We'd expose those discussions but they're so vile they wouldn't be allowed on Alora's Christian Minecraft Forums.

 

 

 

We here at Aftermath will be recognizing 3 of our most important members every month with honorable awards that they can wear with pride.

 

 

Now we aren't stingy with our awards and accolades and will be recognizing 1 non-cc member every single month for their contributions to not only making Aftermath great but also Alora great!

 

 

@redcar aka Dedcar has a long history of donating HUGE amounts to Aftermath even when he was among our ranks. Unfortunately he's not as quick with his logout in the wilderness as he is while gambling clan members.

 

 

 

 

Listen Up, we're more than just our sense of humor. Behind the jokes and the banter we're some of the most dedicated and impressive gamers Alora has to offer. We may be humble but we are not to be mistaken for chumps. Lets take a few minutes to appreciate some achievements made by AFM members!

 

 

I'd like to start this section off by stating something we all are thinking: what the ACTUAL fuck @Omicron how is this possible. 

 

 

Unfortunately somehow we LOST pictures of shadow drops from @McGehee. I think I speak for everyone in Alora when I say you're the absolute spoon of the DECADE. 

The Spooning Don't Stop There!

 

 

I'm glad you've made it this far. Unfortunately not all players in Alora that witness Aftermath's greatness live as long as you, many perish at the hands of our beloved demons in the wilderness. Unfortunately PARAGONE has been MIA apart from @socket and @Ransu poking their head up once in a while to score a kill on one of our many PvMers to cosplay as NHers. Somehow in their little forum post they left out all the sets they lost to those very same PvMers... Wonder how that happened, must be a glitchh

 

Somehow our PvMers turned NH Cosplayers have claimed many sets recently, although we don't claim to be a PvP focused clan we aren't afraid of throwing ourselves in the ring. Our impeccable teamwork, and team morale that's higher than @Moe and @it_happened on a weekend make us a formidable threat to all in Alora's Wilderness.

 

We wanna give an honorable mention to the Wannabe Disney star, former AFM members, and "PKers" who lose their streaks to HCIM: Alora may not be 1:1 with osrs but we can still turn your bones to peaches in our hearts. 

 

 

 

Now, if you're a little angry or upset by this point I'd like to remind you that this is just a ripoff of a 00's clicker game and none of this is serious. We'd like to conclude this volume with some funny moments from behind the scenes from this month. In the end, this game would suck ass if it wasn't for the people in it and the fun we have together.

AFTERMATH HISTORY LESSONS

 

Congratulations for making it all the way though this post. We're going to end these newsletters with some history lessons on major Aftermath events, people, misfortunates, etc. 

 

Today we're going to learn about the infamous

 

Super Restore Fiasco of 2023

 

Legal Disclaimer:

 

In late 2022/early 2023 Alora's amazing development team implemented one of the most beloved changes in history; They made super restores heal almost 50HP in addition to their regular effects. It wasn't long before players (and staff) began to take note, a new meta was forming for ALL content in the game. Anglers and manta rays were left in the bank and players across all our 1 world began using super restores instead; especially prominent AFM members. 

 

After this became known to staff conflicting reports came out about what you were, and weren't allowed to do. You couldn't use them, you could only use them bursting, you could only have a maximum of 3 in your inventory, the rules kept coming and so did the seemingly arbitrary punishments. 

 

Unfortunately Aftermath is not known for a reserved nature, and instead some of our prominent members took it upon themselves to "bug test" the super restores to explore the details of this new Alora "feature" to determine how best to file bug reports and help our development team out. Unfortunately the staff didn't see this the way many of us did; and swiftly handed out jails and punishments to the many members accused of "abusing" this new feature. 

 

Here are some of the greatest moments from this time:

Cooking NPC

Chef Mochiii

 

https://oldschool.ru...iki/w/Head_chef

 

 

 

 

Welcome to the long awaited Alora's Cooking NPC. The npc that @Lowkey has pleaded to be added to the game for the past 4 years! Below you will find a breakdown of requirements / prices.

 

I would like to note that this npc will reward 0 experience for any fish cooked and is purely to speed up cooking for pvming/pking.

Suggesting its located at the Cooking Guild west of Varrock and East of Edgeville(this can be decided)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Normal player: 4,000gp per noted raw fish.

Donator: 3,750gp per noted raw fish.

Super donator: 3,500gp per noted raw fish.

Extreme donator: 3,250gp per noted raw fish.

Legendary donator: 3,000gp per noted raw fish.

Uber donator: 2,750gp per noted raw fish.

Master donator+: 2,500gp per noted raw fish.
 

 

Requirements: 

• Varrock Elite Diary completed
• Cooking Gauntlets.
• 100m xp in cooking skill achieved
  • ​The reason this is part of the requirement is because the Varrock Diary is one that is completed fairly easily and we want to make sure that this npc does not take away from the initial part of the game and must go through say a "probationary period" where you actually have to fish/cooking everything you obtain, and 100m was a fair milestone instead of saying 200m that everyone already gets.

2nd Proposed Requirements: 22/4/2023

• Varrock + Lumbridge & Draynor Elite Diaries Completed (Both)
• Cooking gauntlets equipped
• 99 Cooking
• Remove 100m cooking xp req from 1st proposed requirements
  • After discussion the 100m cooking xp req may be unfair for game modes such as realism/elite/classic to obtain. Instead the completion of 2 elite diaries that have high level REQ and locked behind quest completion is a fitting choice. As the person who mentioned this to me we also want to highlight the "Gold Sink" factor and make sure its accessible to increase its use, increasing how much gp it deletes.

 

 

Pros:

• More bossing, less cooking.
• Gold sink.

Cons:

• No xp gain.

 

 

 

3% of all sales will be put towards my account ty @Omicron

Big support.

 

I have been pleading with Omicron for 4 years. We have all been MANUALLY cooking food this entire time! Imagine how much time that could of been put into bossing!!!!!!!!!!!!1 

 

We need a change and we need it in the next update....or else..

Excited to Join this community. 

The boss rework poll failed for a reason. This an rsps, not a training grounds for osrs players. 

I do understand the frustration of a lot of the players and why people dont like the new changes but lets be fair, the mechanics arent really that hard to learn. I know that the main issue is new players not wanting to try TOB because of its current difficulty but isnt TOB supposed to be end game, its clearly not made for new players? I feel like TOB is the only chance to make enjoyable content for the veteran players and players who want to spend time learning the game. Why are people so eager to take it from them? In my opinion letting a veteran player have fun at least in 1 of the end game content is way more important than making it easier so new players can do it more. (At the end of the day the drops arent that useful as Tauri said, which means people arent being let out of potential other content because of not having a TOB unique, so if someone doesnt want to grind them… just simply dont)

Also seen a few comments going after people that raid with experienced players with max gear, spoiler alert: i dont have max gear but i have never been told no when i asked to raid. And why is that you might ask. Its because im willing to learn mechanics and play the game as intended.
(To be fair i havent been that active lately because of irl, but cmon, learn a few mechanics and let the veterans enjoy something especially after everything else in the game is WAY easier than in osrs)

Respectfully I disagree with this. One of the things that draws players to rsps is the fact that content is fairly accessible. With this mentality because 5-8 veteran players enjoy and do Tob on the regular after the latest update then the feedback of the other 350+ players is irrelevant and they're out of luck. Really all I see is newer players being excluded from the content more and more. If these updates were to better tob and the content why are so few people running it/ enjoying it now?

 

Also no one is saying change the mechanics. Prior to this update people were mostly willing to learn them and tob was finally starting to be ran a bit more after the mechanic update (albeit still not very often and the feed back was mostly 50/50 on the new mechanics, I personally don't mind them). They're referring to the latest update which buffed verziks defence.

 

 If you prefer to melee verzik as that's the proper mechanic you're completely able to do that and it's bis with scythe (as it should). If you don't want to raid with people who use blowpipe/tbow/bowfa or whatever other weapon on verzik you have the option not to. But what does it matter if newer players are able to use those methods to complete the raid? It doesn't impact anyone else, so I'm not sure why we keep getting these updates to make tob less accessible. No one is coming to Alora and saying "Tob is bad because it isn't 1:1 to osrs" it's usually along the lines of "tob is dead content" because they can't find a team and now complaints that it's unenjoyable.

 

+ I've done 100+kc post new mechanics and maybe 15-20 post verzik buff so not all my kc is old. I've done a fair amount on every version of tob just throwing that out there.

I don't think this is true, at least in this case. This update was suggested and had overwhelming support, so was implemented. Search handled suggestions.

 

Perhaps I have looked at the wrong accepted suggestion (https://www.alora.io...lood/?hl=verzik) but I don't think that is suggested the latest round of updates but happy to be corrected if I am wrong.

 

The above suggestion which was accepted and was posted in May 22 pretty much covers ToB up to the version before last which was fine. I am unable to find any suggestion with high support for the latest changes.

 

I also think suggestions with 'support' isn't the way content should be polled, a dev blog of numerous potential changes should be made with voting of which they have to pass a % to be accepted in to the game. Going off a nearly 1 year old suggestion post isn't really cutting it as many things have changed since then.
