Hello,
Down below you will find a list of a few small suggestions & glitches that I have came up with/found throughout the past few days. Now it's apparent to me that a few of my in-game/bug suggestions could potentially correlate with other topics and similar suggestions that have already been posted throughout the forums. If this is the case, I'd like to apologise in advance as I'm currently unaware as to what has/hasn't been suggested from the list of ideas I have, which I will now share. (I will be going in chronicle order from most important to least important)
- Adding the particle effects to max cape
Giving the max cape a particle effect can be beneficial in so many ways. For example, this will create a money sink hole where players will have to pay a certain amount of GP to be able to purchase and apply the particle effect option to any max cape of their liking. Not only will this help the Economy by creating a new option for players to spend money elsewhere (mostly known as a money sink) this will also give the cape a new & reformed look.
- Adding loyalty/donator titles
Having in-game titles gives an incentive or more of a reasoning for players such like myself to do what ever is needed to obtain the desired title you wish to have. There is two sides to this suggestion;
1a) loyalty titles
Personally at this very moment, for me the rewards that can be purchased with Loyalty points aren't that great. I'm aware that loyalty points can be obtained pretty easily by just simply being logged into Alora, how ever it would be fantastic to be able to have an option to spend those points elsewhere, for example on a range of titles provided by the Loyalty reward system. Here is a screen-shot that will give more of an understanding in regards to what titles we could possible implement into Alora.
1b) Donator titles
Very similar to the first point stated above (1a) how-ever obviously donator tags can only be purchased if you possess the necessary donator rank required. Simply do this by adding an option to the donation's manager where it will display a list of donator tags that can be purchased with in-game currency. This suggestion will also create a money hole which we all know can be significantly beneficial in the long run. Down below is a screen-shot simply providing an example as to exactly what donator tags look like displayed next to player's names. If this it to implemented, clearly the donator tag colour will correlate with our user-group colours.
- Slayer shop rewards
Recently I have been directing a lot of my time and focus in to the Slayer side of Alora, per say. It has came to my attention that the current items, that can be bought from the slayer shop need to be drastically reworked. Let me explain why. Throughout the shop there are items that cost a shit ton of points how ever the net value to the certain item(s) is lower than items that cost less but sell for a higher price if you understand where I'm coming from. For example;
Amulet of the Damned: Price = 10,000 slayer points
Current net-worth: 10-20m
Imbuement scroll: Price = 7,500 slayer points
Current net-worth: 42-50m
Evidence (Amulet of damned)
Evidence (Imbuement scroll)
- Allow user-group icons (Iron man, Hard core iron man, Donator, Extreme, Super, Legendary, Uber, Master, & YouTube) to be be displayed in PM. Currently only staff icons will show in private messages.
- The following pet rates should be increased as their rates are way too low and need to be adjusted slightly higher due to how common they are. It's great to have certain pets with low rates how-ever pets are something that should be looked upon as a milestone. I've seen countless and countless of people receive these pets (stated down below) in a matter of minutes. Even though it's based of luck and rates, which I understand, I'm still content that the odds are far too low. Please buff.
- Heron
- Beaver
- Rock Golem
- Bring back the old magic altar that was used for switching spell books. I'm unsure as to why Omicorn has replaced the altar with a pole that just lays on the ground, but if there was a specific reason as to why this was changed; please avoid this suggestion. I did a quick search through the latest batch of updates posted by Omi but unfortunately could not find any information as to why this was changed.
- When having full Graceful equipped, it would be a fantastic idea for it to provide an additional 25% chance of receiving Garceful marks after completing a rooftop lap. As you're aware not all circuits/laps provide marks but with this 25% boost it will give more of a hope to successfully be rewarded with marks every lap encountered for.
- Adjust the maximum allowed number of members in clan-chats from 200-400, at times players will find the Alora main clan chat to be full.
That concludes my in-game suggestions. I know some of my points or ideas may be shitty but hey, we're all entitled to our own opinion and in the end of the day what I have stated up above I solely believe each and every suggestion could become very beneficial in many different aspects.
Moving on to the list of forum suggestions...
- Updating the current user-group PiPs
Now I'm unsure as to how management or administration for that matter, would feel about about change, but the current user-group post bars look like they are in need of a possible makeover. They look roughly designed if I may be brutally honest. I have a list of talented GFX artist(s) who would be more than happy to create a new fresh revived batch of colourful, eye catching user bars. Here are a few showcases/examples of a potential GFX artist that we can and must utilise to our expense.
- "Member of the month" award
I believe this will serve as a great forum incentive & will give forum users such like myself, more of a reason to become throughly active throughout the forums in hoping to be nominated for MOTM. Also this could create a new forum's award given the circumstances that this already isn't a thing. Nominees should be chosen based off how much they have contributed to the forums. Ranging from; (bearing in mind these are just my views as to what quality's a potential candidate should have)
- Lending a helping hand to players who seek assistance (for example assisting through out the support section and answering any general questions that need attending too)
- Being generally interactive within the community
- Giving well constructed feedback when necessary
Down below I have provided an example of what the MOTM plugin looks like. Most of you will already know what this looks like but eh thought I might as well throw in a screenie.
- When trying to @ members on threads, sometimes it will tag the user incorrectly. For example;
- The current "Alora" text that is displayed vertically above the chat-box redirects to the lading page. It would be handy if the url link could be linked to the forums, instead of it being the home-page. Only reason why I ask is because when I want to refresh the forums, instead of having to press the refresh button or f5 I'd be much quicker to click the text as mentioned above.
- Would love to see a few more sub headings added to the nav-bar. Such as the link to the where the server/forum rules can be found and as well as the staff team thread. I feel like there could be a few more important headings that could be added but for now that's all I can come up with.
- IPB provides a plugin where user groups can be displayed in the shout-box when you @mention a user. This would be a nice feature to have as it brings more colour to the forums.
- When going AFK on the forum's for longer than 5 minutes your profile will be switched offline I think, if this is the case please adjust the timer by at least 10 minutes.
- Currently you are unable to access the rune ore that is placed in the far left corner of the mining spot located in the Donator Zone due to it being blocked off by the other rune ores.
- When trying to loot items in the wilderness after killing a player, sometimes the interface will glitch out & the "examine" option will block most of the items which makes it quite difficult to loot items. Especially when you're trying to be quick.
Example:
- When achieving 99 hunter it's not announced in the yell chat. Nor does it state that you have reached 99 hunter in the "Game activity" log displayed on user profiles.
- Once setting place holders every time you happen to log out, the items that you have set for place holders will reset upon logging out, which means every time you go to withdraw an item the place holder will no longer exist.
Well that brings my suggestions to an end. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thank-you. (:
