Hello,

 

After @Bloodchiller created a post for this topic, it got some decent feedback. The thread was a tad old when I commented, so I don't feel like everyone saw some of the feedback from the idea. After discussing different possibilities, we came up with this:

 

 

If it were to be added:

- Any sort of combat continues/reactivates the timer

- Any user input reactivates the timer

- Any exploit used to avoid activating the timer is rewarded with an account suspension/ban

 

 

Another idea for this: Locking your accounts XP stops the timer.

(I realize that this would mean creating a way to lock skilling XP. Again, if it's easy enough, I feel like this update would be a neat touch to the bonus XP.)

 

 

Or:

::locktimer command: Stops the bonus xp timer, as well as deactivating it's effects.

 

Let me know what you think about this, I feel like it would be a big +1 from players spending their vote books on bonus XP as opposed to selling them :)

I still like the idea of pausing bonus xp when you're inactive since some people are expert bankstanders. 

 

Would love to see this implemented

The lock timer command sounds really cool, you could save the time for more boring skills while still being able to take breaks

[Raudmees]

I totally support it.

Isn't there already something for this? I believe it's called the log out button.

I like the ::locktimer command idea. I am an expert at idling while skilling haha, i get sidetracked with forums etcetc and then come back to the game screen and im like oh crap lol

I'm an expert at passing out at my computer because I play even after my 12 hour shifts for at least a few hours

The only thing that concerns me about this timer lock is the effect it will have on Alora's vote numbers. I still stand by the idea if the player were to claim a vote book, the player should use it with the intention of maximizing its full benefit. Don't get me wrong. I like the idea but I feel confident that Alora will see a decline of votes on rsps list sites simply because of this alone. Then again, I could be way off and this could increase the number of votes Alora receives. I'm hoping for the latter. 

 

No support for bonus xp timer without 5-10 minute idle forced logout.

Full support for 5-10 minute idle forced logout + bonus xp timer lock.

 

Edit: No support for a command to lock bonus experience. That's far too convenient. The bonus XP lock should be locked/unlocked through the Vote Manager and should be free, HOWEVER, players should be limited to how often they can lock/unlock, may it be every thirty minutes, hour, three hours, six hours or twelve hours. We know that one vote book offers sixty minutes of bonus experience therefore this would hinder how many vote books a player can use (to increase voting incentive). Should a player want to use 10 vote books, there would be no need to lock their experience. Hate it or love, there should be a compromise.

You took the words straight out of my mouth @Wreckage. How-ever to me I'm not really phased as to how many Votes Alora receives, and this suggestion could become quiet handy at times. I find myself from time to time using vote books solely for the double XP, but I tend to get quiet easy distracted & when I do I obviously end up losing out on minutes I could've benefited from. And for that exact reason, you have my support.
