I'm unaware of how the point system works on Alora, but I do know we get a significantly lower amount of points compared to those on OSRS. I certainly hope we have a different system than on OSRS, considering the amount of points we receive per raids.

 

 

I wonder what you guys think about the point system on Alora. It has been buffed in the past, but to me, receiving such low amount of points, seems weird. Perhaps anyone who knows how the system works could elaborate.

 

Perhaps anything could be changed to improve the raids experience? I've seen some crazy drystreaks.

I would love if @Omicron could take a look at this, because we don't get the same amount of points, im sure it works in a different way.

This please since you get a percentage boost on rare drops based on points

I have done about 400 raids now and I barely feel a change in rushing a raid or point capping. It almost feels as if points are worthless. Points should determine if the team gets a roll on a drop or not.

I would definitely like to see more work put into the point system of raids.

As Salter said, it definitely would be nice to see a new raids point system.

The Alora Raids system is quite different from OSRS, but the point system is similar, in that the higher amount of points you get, the more likely you are to get a reward. It's essentially a similar system that has been tweaked(and still is being tweaked every now and then) to cater to the amount of points a player would get raiding on Alora.

Great to hear you are still working on it. I like that. The last buff you've done certaintly increased the likelihood of receiving a roll on the unique drop table. However, if you look at the amount of people with high killcount, they receive a pretty low amount of drops. There's only a few amount of people getting lucky. I don't feel like drops are consistent enough, at the moment. 

 

After many raids I feel like rushing a raid rather than collecting points etc. is best. Raids/h > points, I don't know if it was intended to be like that, though.

[4riel ftw]

more raids points? im in!

[Redius]

Would love to see raids point system being more tweaked. Support :)!

[Classic mob]

100% support!

[Pumba]

More points sounds great, i support :)

[Pira]

If it'll increase my drops at raids, then hell yeh, 100% support

[OpieOP]

More points

More loots

Support because I want a prayer scroll soon.

The main issue here is that players are in the dark, because we have no idea what the formula is for calculating drop chances. Others that I've talked to would be a lot happier at Raids with just KNOWING the best way to maximize chances at drops, but there's nothing to go on. Trying to analyze Raids loot will always be problematic because there's such a low total kc across the server... it's very hard to get actual trends, and instead we get many players saying "it seems like..." or "I feel that..." etc. This isn't dismissing anyone's opinion on here, this is just the symptom of not having a concrete guide to point to, like the picture at the beginning of this thread. 

 

I support another slight buff across the board, because the more Raids drops broadcasted, the greater the activity at Raids.. and it's probably one of Alora's best pieces of content so we want it to be active. I just wish this was more transparent, so when you do hit the inevitable Sahara dry streak you'll at least feel better knowing you're taking the best method to break it.

I couldn't agree more. There's quite a few methods people been using. Point cappers who won't do rushes, rushers who won't do point caps. If we knew how the reward system worked (Omicron already stated that it is different from OSRS' reward system), then we would know what would be the best way towards receiving the most efficient experience out of raids.

[Vespina]

Tbh pac I support this it does seem funky to me with the point system also, hope some elaboration can be done with this :)

[Watch Hentai]

I would really like this idea and would concider raiding more then 10 raids a day xD

[Steel Nogan]

i agree, theres changes needed in raids point system. lets hope omicron sees this and takes action 

[Austin Post]

Completely agree with ultSASSAFRAS' statement. I personally have yet to do Raids in Alora, but I'm hoping it will be as enjoyable as it can be when I begin to.
