#487763 My Problem with Staff 3

Posted by Tauri on 30 May 2024 - 11:57 PM

This thread should be in report player section.

 

Therefore I am going to lock the thread and if you have a problem with staff, let me know or use this section: https://www.alora.io...-player-report/

 

If you want to, you can continue the discussion in the first Staff Feedback thread you made, "My Problem With Staff 4" shouldn't happen.

 

Have a nice day!




#487620 My Problem with Staff

Posted by H on 29 May 2024 - 07:17 PM

Lets get right into it.

 

My Problem with Alora Staff - Part 1

Here's how staff used to respond when people questioned why GIMs were buying/selling bank on Forums

 

4feb7a784eb139c85a86426f54a5eb0c.png

 

 

 

 

Here's how staff respond when I suggest fixing it on Forums

53a828c398b3334e4f8b4d0b6612dc7c.png

 

To add context to these two infractions:

Infraction 1 - You received a warning in a thread about selling GIM items, where your reply had nothing to do with buying/selling/negotiating with the author. The rule you broke was listed in your warning as seen in the image.

 

Infraction 2 - You received a warning in your recent GIM suggestion thread, where one of your replies was flame baiting To Gain for some weird reason and relating it to that nex penguin situation that happened a while back.

 

I'm not sure how you're trying to connect these two warnings together to be honest, I'm confused.

 

 

 

They penalize me for baiting and flaming, when in reality, they're the one's doing it.

91966722a2a6895c448007592035e2af.png

 

Here's an example of global moderator Logan liking the flame/bait, instead of actually doing his job and removing it.  The comments have nothing to do with the game suggestion regarding buying/selling ironman banks.  I reported the comments days ago and nothing was done.  They all ignored it until I left this comment, which promptly got deleted.  

image0.jpg?ex=6658acd5&is=66575b55&hm=80

 

I had to get a warning -> show proof of staff bias -> get my proof deleted -> just to get the flame bait/hate directed towards me removed.

 

I'll come out and say this was not handled well at all. We're discussing it/discussed it and I hope it doesn't happen again. Not much to add here. Apologies from the staff team.

 

 

 

On my other posts, you have people deliberately copy and pasting "no support" comments and none of them get removed even when I report them

288d0bf3d0f0e65769283b8511a4a8c3.png

9634b56860310bec202ba06baccd8bc7.pnga2759f95fe3f8b1b3a991c921ba02234.png

Why?  - They're ex-staff or friends of Logan/Not Shadow - Or maybe they just share Logan/Not Shadow's point of view - who knows?  - either way, someone isn't doing their moderating job very well

 

How is it that staff will remove off-topic comments on a Trading GIM bank post, but not hate/flame bait comments on a Trading GIM bank suggestion? 

 

I don't see the issue here. Sure, they're copy pasting a response, but it doesn't break any rules. We're not going to start punishing people because their replies are the same/similar(you might see a lot of those in introduction threads).

 

To conclude, here's a little insight.

 

Between the time you got post restricted and until a few days ago, about a year give or take, we probably punished a handful of players on forums for stuff such as spamming. 

In the past few days, literally every report has come from your threads. 

 

gRAAoVa.png

 

Perhaps some self reflection is due. Every time there's some "drama"(if that's what you want to call it) you're always at the centre of it. First with that realism suggestion thread, then that nex penguin drama, and now this. 

 

I also find it ironic how you mentioned that "someone isn't doing their moderating job very well" in regards to removing those copy pasted replies, when you were spamming bug reports in the suggestion section literal days ago and told us to fuck off when we asked you to post them in the bug report section.

 

Once again, sorry for not removing those flame bait replies sooner. We'll jump to action much quicker next time.

 

I find it cringe that it's 2AM and I'm writing essays. Everyone just needs to grow up tbh.

#486777 Development Blog #18: Fortis Colosseum

Posted by H on 16 May 2024 - 12:31 PM

F4yobMy.png

 

Hello everyone,

 

We are very excited to show you a sneak peak of something that we have been working on for the past few weeks which we are sure you are very excited for, the recently released Fortis Colosseum!

This epic arena is the setting for a new, wave-based PvM minigame. The Fortis Colosseum will pit the bravest among you against an onslaught of increasingly complex waves of enemies. Those of you who own a Fire Cape should be able to get your feet wet in the early rounds, but as the waves progress, you can expect combinations of enemies that will test the skills of even the most seasoned combatants. Unlike other wave-based minigames, as the difficulty increases, so do the stakes. After each wave, you’ll be offered a choice: swallow your pride and leave with the loot or risk it all on the next battle – you’re here to put on a show, after all!

 

  • Overview:
    • The Fortis Colosseum is a large stadium found on the cliffs east of Civitas illa Fortis. Here, players can take on up to twelve waves of opponents, culminating with the final wave against Sol Heredit. Enemies will spawn in similarly to the TzHaar Fight Caves and Inferno, though additional enemies will also spawn in during the wave.

 

  • Gameplay:
    • At the end of each wave, players can choose to modify future waves by adding modifiers. For example, players may choose to reduce their maximum Hitpoints, strengthen opponents, or alter the arena's terrain. Handicaps are randomized and will persist for all subsequent waves of the current run. After each wave, players are also given the option to end their Colosseum run with the spoils they've earned up to their current wave.

 

  • Rewards:
    • Before starting a wave, an interface will appear indicating the loot from the current wave and loot from the upcoming wave. You may choose to either continue and risk your rewards or end the run and claim all of your hard-won spoils. If you die, teleport out during a wave or log out, all accumulated loot will be lost. You can obtain unique rewards from Wave 3 onwards. Every wave after that has a progressively higher chance of awarding a unique item. Unique rewards from the chest include:​
      • ChiB5ki.png  Dizana's Quiver is an untradeable, chargeable (and corruptible) Cape-slot offering, boasting higher offensive bonuses than Ava's Assembler and a particularly unique effect which allows it to hold at least two types of ammo, automatically selecting whichever applies to your current weapon. You'll be able to earn one of these by making it all the way to the end of a Colosseum run!
      • YxJm23z.pnggKzZbQi.pngKNgYNtp.pngSunfire fanatic armour is effectively Proselyte armour with bigger numbers. In order to wear the armour, the player must have a Prayer level of 60 and a Defence level of 40. The armour shares the same stats with rune armour, barring the lighter weight and higher prayer bonus.
      • z9YJQPb.png Echo crystal which is used on a pair of guardian boots to create echo boots, which gives it an additional +2 prayer bonus and a passive recoil effect. Each echo crystal added to the boots gives it 6,000 recoil charges.
      • sLS3Bnr.png Tonalztics of ralos is a thrown weapon that requires level 75 Ranged to equip. Unlike most thrown weapons, it is not stackable and effectively provides unlimited "ammo," though it has an additional effect when charged. In its uncharged state, the weapon hits a target for 0-75% of the player's maximum ranged hit once. However, when charged with Sunfire splinters, the weapon will hit twice instead, with the second damage roll independent from the first. It can hold a maximum of 20,000 charges.
      • G6abkRJ.png Sunfire splinters are a common drop. They can be used to charge Dizana's quiver and the Tonalztics of Ralos.
      • 9vR9BPg.png Smol heredit, the boss pet of Sol Heredit, obtained by beating the Colosseum

Hello everyone,
 
We are officially back to our usual update schedule post-Leagues, and we’ve got a huge update we’ve been preparing that touches on a number of different areas of the game. The main component is that we’re partially release Varlamore, bringing about the Hunter Guild, Scar Essence Mine, the Stealing Valuables thieving activity, and much more. There are plenty of other updates that have been in the pipeline that are now getting released, such as the Costume Room Overhaul to allow you to store all of your cosmetics more efficiently and store partial sets and duplicates, and we’ve finally gotten around to adding Ambient Sounds to make your gameplay more immersive, meaning you’ll finally be able to hear birds chirping, the sounds of the ocean, and so many other sounds around you. Other noteworthy updates include the Spellbook Reordering plugin, Easter Event rewards at home, and Minimap Zooming on both the desktop client and mobile. We’ll let you read the rest below:

  • Post-League changes:
    • Trophy claiming now works for Ironman (PM me if you aren’t able to claim your trophies).
    • League Shop has been re-enabled with updated, lower prices as promised in the previous League thread.
  • Costume Room Overhaul:
    • We’ve completely re-done the costume room in the POH, boasting many new features, as well as many new storable items.
    • New Interface:
      • The interface has been upgraded to be more aesthetically pleasing, containing all the items for that storage container on a single page that the player can scroll through.
        • All of the items of the set will also be shown, rather than just 1 item, as it previously was.
        • Deposit mode:
          • Players can select the deposit mode button to either deposit a single item, or deposit all eligible set items.
        • Search functionality:
          • Players can click the search button to search for any listing in the container.
            • Items that are not in this container will not show up in the search interface.
        • Deposit All:
          • There is now a button to deposit all the eligible items into a storage container.
    • Partial Set Storage:
      • Players can now deposit parts of a set into the POH storage container, rather than needing to have the entire set to do so.
        • Previously if you tried to deposit a rune full helmet (t), for example, you need the platebody, platelegs, and kite shield to do so.
          • Players can now store each individually, as well as the variant items if available (skirts, for example).
    • Duplicate Storage:
      • Players are no longer limited to only 1 of each item/set being stored, and can now store as many of each item as they want.
    • Item Expansion:
      • We’ve added over 50 new items to the Toy box that were not previously available.
        • Many of these were items that were/are currently obtainable on Alora, so be sure to check your bank!
    • Ultimate ironman will be able to use the storage in the same way as normal players, with no restriction that requires them to have the entire set to store items.
  • Easter Event Rewards:
    • While we didn’t get around to running a full Easter event this year, you can speak to the Easter Bunny to obtain the following items:
      • Egg priest vestments
      • Book of egg
    • If lost, these items can individually be repurchased from the Lost items manager for 100,000 GP each.
  • Spellbook Reordering:
    • Players can now use the Spellbook plugin on the Runelite client to re-order their spells.
      • This works similarly to the prayer plugin, where players right-click the prayer tab to enable re-ordering, and they can drag spells around to the location they want them to be.
        • Players can also right click a spell while editing it and select the hide option to hide the spell.
  • League Trophy Awards:
    • Once this League ends, players who earn an in-game trophy will also automatically be awarded a forum award for that same trophy on their main account.
  • Stealing Valuables:
    • Players can now train thieving by robbing wealthy citizens in Civitas Illa Fortis!
      • This activity requires at least 50 thieving to do.
      • To do so, players can start by pickpocket wealthy citizens near the bazaar.
        • Every so often, urchins will cause a distraction, allowing players to thieve these wealthy citizens automatically (similar to the trickster relic), and without a chance of failing
          • Players have a chance to obtain house keys, which can be used to break into wealthy citizens’ homes.
      • There are 3 possible homes to break into (marked with a thieving icon on the world map), and at any given moment, players can break into one of the 3 homes.
        • Players must simply look for a home with a locked door indicating no one is home, and they can use a house key to enter the home, and steal from the various chests/dressers/jewellery boxes.
          • Every so often, a hint icon will appear above a thievable object, which will give players an exp/loot bonus.
        • Players will steal valuables from the homes, each one being worth 550 coins, and providing 45 base thieving experience.
          • Stealing from the marked object when it appears provides 14 valuables, and 630 base thieving experience.
          • Valuables can be sold to Oriana, who is standing outside of the bank near the homes.
      • Players will have 3 minutes to rob a house as much as they can while the owner is gone, and will be warned by a nearby urchin when the owners are returning home.
        • Players will need to exit out of a nearby window to avoid detection.
  • Hunter Expansion:
    • With the arrival of the Hunting Guild, we’ve decided to expand the Hunter skill and bring a lot of un-implemented content into Alora so that the rumours can be added to the game.
    • The following hunter content has been added:
      • Hunters’ Guild:
        • Rumours:
          • Players can now obtain rumours from various members of the hunter guild.
            • There members can be found downstairs within the hunter guild.
              • There are 6 kinds of contracts that players can obtain, each requiring a different hunter level, and providing different potential tasks/rewards.
                • Novice rumours
                • Adept rumours (from Cervus)
                • Adept rumours (from Orvis)
                • Expert rumours (from Aco)
                • Expert rumours (from Teco)
                • Master Rumours
              • The rumour will instruct players to hunt a certain type of NPC and obtain a special component from them.
                • There is a chance these npc’s will provide the rare part each time they’re caught, and once the part has been obtained, players can return it to the guild for a hunter loot sack.
                  • There is also a pity system, where if players go 2x the drop rate dry on the rare part, it will automatically be given to them.
                    • This pity rate is slightly boosted if the player is wearing the entire guild hunter set.
                • Once players have completed 10 rumours, they can claim a basic quetzal whistle blueprint from Soar leader pitri, at the top of the hunter guild tree.
                  • This can be used to craft a basic quetzal whistle, which can be used to teleport directly to the hunter guild.
                    • Players can also claim a torn enhanced/perfected hunter whistle blueprint at 100/250 completed rumours if they have not yet received a blueprint from the hunter loot sacks.
                      • These blueprints are not tradable.
          • Players can also use the hunter rumours plugin on runelite to keep track of their current rumours.
      • Meat Pouches:
        • Players can create the small and large meat pouches, which can be used to store raw meat obtained from hunter npc’s.
          • The small meat pouch can store up to 14 pieces of raw meat inside of it.
            • It can be made at level 35 crafting by using a needle (and some thread) on 4 pieces of fox fur, providing 30 base Crafting experience.
          • The large meat pouch can store up to 28 pieces of raw meat inside of it.
            • It can be made at level 65 crafting by upgrading a small meat pouch with a needle (and some thread) and 3 pieces of sunlight antelope fur, providing 60 base Crafting experience.
          • Both pouches can be used at the same time, however upgrading the small meat pouch to a large one will not transfer the meat within the pouch, so players will need to remake a small meat pouch to regain access to any meat left in the pouch.
      • Tecu Salamanders:
        • Players can now catch Tecu Salamanders in Varlamore at level 79 Hunter, for 344 base Hunter experience.
          • Most salamanders caught will be immature Tecu salamanders, which can only be released.
            • There is a 1/813 chance of catching a regular Tecu Salamander, which can be used as a weapon, similar to other salamanders.
          • The Tecu salamander works exactly the same as other salamanders, although it is stronger, and uses Irit tar as ammunition.
      • Embertailed Jerboa’s:
        • Players can now catch Embertailed Jerboa’s in Varlamore using box traps at level 39 Hunter, providing 137 base Hunter experience.
          • When caught, they provide a jerboa tail.
            • Players can use 5 Jerboa tails, a knife, some teak logs, and 5 Hunter spear tips to create Hunter’s spears.
              • These thrown spears require 55 ranged and 30 strength to equip, and use the player’s strength bonus to determine damage, rather than their ranged strength bonus.
      • Sunlight/Moonlight moths:
        • Players can catch these at level 65/75 hunter respectively (75/85 for barehanded catching), and provides 74/84 base Hunter experience.
          • If caught with a jar, players will get the following bonuses for releasing the moths:
            • Sunlight Moths:
              • Restores drained stats by 20% of the stat level + 6 (excludes hitpoints/prayer) and heals 6 hitpoints.
            • Moonlight Moths:
              • Restores 22 prayer.
      • All Deadfall content, excluding Maniacal monkeys):
        • Deadfall traps can be setup with some logs and a knife, and setting a trap up will consume the logs.
          • Players can only have 1 deadfall trap setup at any time.
        • Wild Kebbits can now be hunted in the Piscatoris hunter area at 23 Hunter, providing 128 base Hunter experience.
          • When caught, they will provide bones, Kebbit Claws, and raw wild kebbit.
            • The kebbit meat can be cooked and eaten, and the Kebbit claws can be used to upgrade various vambraces in spiky vambraces.
        • Barb-tailed kebbits can now be hunted in the Feldip hunter area at 33 Hunter, and provide 168 base Hunter experience.
          • When caught, they provide bones, a barb-tail harpoon, and raw kebbit meat.
            • The barb-tail harpoon is an equippable harpoon which can be used to fish, saving an inventory slot.
        • Prickly kebbits can now be caught in the Piscatoris hunter area at 37 hunter, and provide 204 base Hunter experience.
          • When caught, they provide bones and Kebbit spikes.
            • Kebbit spikes can be used with a chisel to craft kebbit bolts (12 bolts per spike).
        • Sabre-toothed kebbits can now be caught in the Relleka hunter area at 51 Hunter, and provide 200 base Hunter experience.
          • When caught, they provide bones and Kebbit teeth.

            • Fox Fur can be used to craft various items.
      • All Pitfall traps:
        • Players can setup pitfall traps in pits near specific hunter mobs.
          • Doing so requires a knife and some logs.
          • Once the trap is setup, players will need to lure the mob near the pit and jump over it such that the mob is on the other side of the pit, and then it will walk onto the trap.
        • Spined Larupias can now be trapped at level 31 hunter, providing 180 base Hunter experience.
          • Players will receive raw larupia meat and big bones.
          • These can be found in the Feldip hills hunter area.
        • Horned Graahks can now be trapped at level 41 hunter, providing 240 base Hunter experience.

            • Players can use this orifice to receive extracts, which can be used to gain extra runes while runecrafting; this process costs coins, so players will need to deposit coins into the nearby coffer.

                • Warped Extract:
                  • Each warped extract costs 5,000 coins and 1 tainted essence to make.

                  • The warped extract provides 60 extra runes per essence used, and works only when crafting blood/soul/wrath runes.
              • Extracts only work when crafting runes using pure/rune/daeyalt/guardian essence.
                • The extracts do not work at the Ourania altar.

      • Players can also still use items/sets on the trading post to pack/unpack them, as they could before.
      • This promps a new interface that players can easily use to view all possible sets, and easily check what items they need to pack these sets.

#485898 Community Manager Change

Posted by Omicron on 02 May 2024 - 09:48 AM

Hello everyone,
 
Today brings some bittersweet news as we will be undergoing a Community Manager change. @Moe has served us as Community Manager for just over two years and has been an essential part of Alora during that time, and so we thank him for his service in keeping the staff team healthy and active, as well as running events to keep things exciting in-game, on top of all of the other duties that he has taken on. Don’t worry, he will still be around and will be assisting with advertising related duties, so even though his role has changed, he won’t be going anywhere too far!
 
While @Moe's absence will certainly be felt, we’re confident in our new Community Manager’s ability to fill the role, as we’ve already seen some impressive work from them in many areas including taking on CM duties whenever required, handling events with ease, and handling general Admin duties with the utmost care and dedication. We have no doubt that @Tauri will be a suitable replacement and will do a fantastic job managing the staff team, and managing the community to provide you with the best experience possible.
 
Best,
Omicron & The Alora Staff Team




#484358 Boss KC Record Announcements

Posted by ironsies on 17 April 2024 - 02:24 AM

What is your suggestion?: Adding yell/chat announcements when someone beats the KC record for a boss!

Is this in OSRS?: No.

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: No.

How would this benefit Alora?: I think it'd be a fun community engagement thing, much like fastest kc announcement... This also has nothing to do with the fact that I am about to surpass the Chaos Fanatic record.................

This month we have some great interviews from Charizard & Fire. Enjoy the read!
 
HWho do you most admire in life?

Charizard: Growing up I always admired celebrities and superheroes. As I’ve grown older I’ve come to admire the adults who’ve raised and supported me in life. My father for helping and teaching me to do good business. My mother for showing me how to be kind.

 

HWhat is a skill you'd like to learn and why?

Charizard: I’ve never learned how to play an instrument and piano is something that I’ve always wanted to play. It’s the most chaotic or relaxing instrument, and I will eventually learn how to play even basic songs.

 

HIf you could witness any event of the past, present, or future, what would it be?

Charizard: Would have to be something to do with music. Going back and seeing Queen in concert is something I’ve always said I would do if I had the opportunity.

 

HTell us a little about your journey to secure 1st place in the Alora Leagues tournament.

Charizard: Playing Alora leagues was the most fun I’ve had playing a game in 10 years. I’m not one to grind anything video game like anymore but seeing my points go up gave me a reason to keep going. I had intended on stopping at T7, but I was having so much fun doing everything I couldn’t stop. I took no longer than 12 hours without at least playing 1-3 hours after each break. I’ll miss playing leagues, but I am glad it’s over. I’ll need a nice break from grinding like that again.

 

HWhat are your plans for 2024, both in real life and on Alora?

Charizard: I’ve recently started a new GIM on alora with some irl friends, I’ll likely be playing that from here on out as it’s something new and gives a nice challenge compared to my maxed gim. In life I don’t have any major plans. Just enjoying my family and friends when I can. Always aiming to be a better person/husband/father for my wife and kid.

 
Next up is Fire
 
HWho do you most admire in life?
Fire: I most admire my fiance in life, when life gets hard and is all over the place she's always my constant.
 

HWhat is a skill you'd like to learn and why?

Fire: I'd really like to learn drifting, It is very theraputic to watch and I feel like i'd enjoy it and be at home behind the wheel while sideways.

 

HIf you could witness any event of the past, present, or future, what would it be?

Fire: I would like to witness the first interaction publicly known with aliens or life from another planet. (as long as its a peaceful meetup)

 

HWhat update would you like to personally see happen?

Fire: I WOULD LOVE to see some custom bosses added with new weapons and armor, nothing wild like AK-47's like other servers have, just reskins with same stats for current weapons, give us anime katanas, new glowing maces, flaming swords, etc. Not saying new power caps but like matches for a fang/rapier that can be achieved without needing a 4 man tob party. :BONUS: please add more boss pets for everyday things, give us a slayer pet (make it like 1/50k from any slayer monster and 1/200k for a transmog crystal or something), a barrows pet.

 

HWhat are your plans for 2024, both in real life and on Alora?

Fire: I plan on working as much overtime as I can and saving for a house, in my spare time I would like to take as many motorcycle trips as I possibly can with my fiance and finally get married this summer. On alora I WANT TO FINALLY GET MY TBOW, 1115 KC DRY BAYBEEEEEEEE.
