Alora Administration Team

Currently the Bump Up Topics mod here on the Alora forum has nothing it, such as a timer in order to use it again on the same thread/all threads. If I remember correctly, the Bump Up Topics mod has many options in its settings via Administration Control Panel, some being a timer and daily limit. 

I think there should be a timer in order to use the mod on your thread again - 6 hours per thread. If the option for the mod which I'm suggesting applies for all threads, then 3 hours. I also think here should be a daily limit - maybe 5. After-all, there is a popular rule of on forums only being allowed to bump the same thread every 24 hours.

I just feel the Bump Up Topics mod get abused here on the Alora forum, especially in the Staff Applications section. Everyone deserves for their threads - important ones mainly, to have a chance at being on the top/recognized, instead of having to "bump war", etc.

I may be coming across silly, I don't know, it's just the feeling/vibe I'm getting with the Bump Up Topics mod here around the Alora forum.

EDIT: I was correct.

Thanks for having the decency to let us know you'll be away.

Best of luck.

good luck with that mate! higher priority for sure!

@Flowers Good luck at your interview man!

Alora cop turned IRL cop. There's a movie deal in there somewhere, Gz mate.

'Favourite staff member' ahahahahah

Good luck on your interview. 

Good luck with this dude :)

I'm suggesting for a new forum mod to be installed onto the forum, which is called minimized quote.

If someone quotes another Member's post and the post is a big one, it would only show the beginning of the quote and there will be an option at the bottom of the quote for you to read more of it. I noticed many Members quote original posts/first posts, regardless of how big they are, which causes viewers to scroll tons more, which as an active forum Member, I can personally say it can be irritating at times. Will make much more ease for viewers when reading debates/feedback/arguments/etc threads as well.

Note: I'm unsure if the current IPB version which Alora uses will support it, but I thought I'd go ahead and suggest it anyhow.

  See you soon jake, atleast that fiver will not be robbed at all.

Nothing more to say than what the title says. I have made a quick photoshop how it could look like (I did it on paint and I am not a designer, so no trolls please).

The black part around the name should also be the background color by the way.

Let me know what you think :).

PS: You can only do it currently when you trigger your name into the legendary+ status and not with "classic" as primary play style.

Hello everyone,

Today’s update is mostly focused on getting out some important bug fixes, including some that have been lingering around for quite awhile now. For the next update, we’re working on getting out some content that we’ve been meaning to implement for awhile as well (Fossil island content, Battlestaff crafting, etc.), so make sure to keep an eye out for another update soon!
 
Game updates:

• World bosses update:
  • Hitpoints on all world bosses has been increased.
    • The fight did not last long enough (usually 15-20 seconds max) for players to get there and participate / obtain the God’s blessing XP bonus.
    • Increase from 750 HP to:
      • 1,750 for Saradomin/Zamorak bosses
      • 2,500 for Guthix boss
  • With the above HP change, the Guthix boss (Derwen) now has better chances of dropping the pet as well as the Staff of Light.
  • The minimum damage required to obtain the God’s blessing has been reduced from 100 damage to 75. This, along with the hitpoints increase, should give most players an opportunity to participate for the blessing.
• Cooking update:
  • The cooking skillcape bonus (no burn at 99) now works when wearing the Max cape (only the red one — not the variants) or the Completionist monkey.
• Slayer changes:
  • If you have a Smoke devil task, you can defeat the Thermonuclear smoke devil and it will count towards your task.
    • Additionally, if you have a Dust devil task, you can also kill the Thermonuclear smoke devil and it will count.
  • Black mask (i) can now be unimbued.
• Staff of light fix:
  • The magic attack bonus for the Staff of Light has been updated to match the TSOTD — +25 instead of +17.
• Magic fixes:
  • Staff of the dead / Toxic SOTD can now cast Zamorak flames spell.
  • Staff of light can now cast Saradomin strike.
  • Fire surge fix:
    • When using the Tome of Fire while casting Fire surge, the max hit is increased from 24 to 36.
      • This brings the true max hit up to 49 in PvP when using:
        • Tome of fire
        • Occult necklace (10%)
        • SOTD/SOL/TSOTD/Kodai (15%)
        • Ancestral outfit (6%)
        • Imbued god cape (2%)
        • Tormented bracelet (5%) 
      • TOTAL: 38% magic bonus * 36 max hit = 49
        • The max hit in PvM with an imbued Slayer helmet could be as high as 55 with the above gear.
  • Slayer mask/helmet/salve amulet were not properly providing the magic damage bonus. This has been fixed.
• Range fixes:
  • Crystal bow bonuses have been fixed. It now has +100 Ranged attack and +70 Ranged strength.
• Vorkath fixes:
  • Vorkath fight:
    • Zombified spawn:
      • Crumble undead would sometimes splash on the Zombified spawn. This can no longer happen.
      • The spawn can no longer be evaded.
    • Antifire effectiveness:
      • Antifire potions/shield will now be slightly more effective in defending against Vorkath.
  • Vorkath’s Turquoise Slayer helmet:
    • The Turquoise Slayer helmet can now be created through one of the following methods:
      • Vorkath’s head + Slayer helmet
      • Vorkath’s head + Slayer helmet (i) (gives Turquoise Slayer helmet (i))
        • Additionally, if you added Vorkath’s head to a regular Slayer helmet, you can then imbue it with an imbuement scroll.
    • Has all the same bonuses from the other Slayer helmets.
    • Can be reclaimed from untradables shop for 400k GP.
• Farming update:
  • When farming herbs, you will now receive Grimy herbs rather than clean ones. This will give some extra Herblore XP when cleaning herbs, and matches OSRS.
  • Empty watering can added to Ironman supply shop.
• Bones on altar update:
  • You can now use Superior dragon bones on altars, including POH altars (gilded and otherwise.)
• Technical:
  • Fixed some bugs that were not allowing users to login at times (stuck on connecting for awhile)
• Miscellaneous:
  • From the previous update, the donator bonus on the Make Flax spell was not fully applied. It should now work as intended.
  • Fixed a bug which allowed Skotizo to teleport people from the ground floor near ::event up to the top. (During World boss massacre)
  • Event area “safe death” zone slightly expanded.
  • Random events disabled in raids.
  • Fixed Revenant caves entrance saying that you need a minimum of level 40 combat when it is in fact level 50.
• Yell updates:
  • Youtube icon will now show up in yell.
  • If you are a classic or ironman player but also a donator, your title in yell will now reflect your donator status.
    • For example:
      • Previously (where (*) represents ironman symbol):
        • [<gray>Ironman</gray>](*)Omicron: message
      • Now, assuming I am an Ironman but also a Legendary donator:
        • [<purple>Ironman</purple>](*)Omicron: message

Client update:

• Page-up button (or Fn+Up on OSX) can now be used by all players to re-enter your previous messages in your chatbox. You can also use Page-down to move through them.
  • This was previously broken for regular players and moderators.

Store update:

• JalRek-Jad reduced from 1500 tokens to 1000 tokens.

 

 

 

 
 
Enjoy :)

my gf doesnt want me to be a mod on a private server anymore because she knows the other boys and girls of the server wont be able to contain themselves from me

How To Make A Good Suggestion

I've noticed over the last little while that there are a lot of people suggesting things that either have

been previously added to the suggestions topic we have here, or suggest something that isn't on OSRS.

I figured I would take this time to make a quick guide on how to make a good suggestion.

Although we do have some features that aren't in OSRS, Alora strives to be the closest mock of OSRS without

losing that RSPS feel. When you are suggesting something you should always make sure it's not on the

list of suggestions that are to be added to Alora, and also make sure that it is something that is

 already in OSRS. If it is something that isn't in OSRS but you feel it would be a good fit for Alora there is

no shame in suggesting it here. This is merely a small template/guideline for posting quality suggestions.

One more thing is to try and focus on one suggestion at a time. Making a list of 30+ suggestions in one thread isn't going to

get everything taken care of any faster.

Now without further adieu, the template.

What is your suggestion?:

Is this in OSRS?:

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:

How would this benefit Alora?:

Although there is a template here, people are not expected to always use it, and suggestions wont be instantly declined for not using the proper template. Make sure you check over the OSRS Wiki and the

Suggested Topics list before you post a suggestion to save everyone time!
