What is your suggestion?: 

Give player the option to chose what task they would like From slayer.

 

This can be Unlocked Via slayer points or Simply locked behind a Donner rank similar to Price to skip

 

 

Right now as a $50 Donner you already skip any task you would like until you get the one you want this is great but sometimes takes for ever to get the task you want.

 

Making Blocking tasks Pointless besides not being Given them 1000 times 

 

 

 

Is this in OSRS?:

Yes (kinda) twisted leagues introduced the new:

 

  Unnatural Selection Relic in the Twisted League

 

 

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:

Not that i know about i did some searching came up dry  

 

 

 

How would this benefit Alora?:

This is a Little QOL update that would make slayer a little more enjoyable for players on the Hunt for pets.

I currently have a few boss pets and being assigned these tasks over and over again kinda sucks when i have no need to go back to them 

 

 

EDIT: 

 

I would like to Instead Put this up on the table  

 

TASK Choices (per day)           NONE             NONE            1 Free pIck          2 Free picks          3 Free picks     4 Free picks         5 Free picks    6 Free picks 

 

This would In turn give a Perk to Higher donners while also limiting the tasks they can do in a day.

 

​Oh course this can be adjusted to balance

Has been denied many times in the past, due to us being a one world server. However if it somehow passes, I believe the only way to make it 'balanced' would be Legendary/Uber+ (the more people with it, the harder it will be to do tasks for others).

I believe the last time it was denied it wasn't part of OSRS now that its been added i thought i would put it back on the table 

[MT]

Pretty much what @IM Moe stated. Been suggested and declined many times, but I would like to see this feature restricted to uber/master donors and up if it passes.

As much as i'd like it the reasons on this post are still the same more or less. On osrs it is on twisted league however that is a ironman locked event mode on zeah, and you have to pick that perk over other ones.

 

I doubt anything will change however I will support ONLY if it was locked behind Master/Immortal. You can cancel after super donator for free but I think it is tedious on purpose so you can't target certain tasks instantly. It still takes a bunch of cancelling if you want a certain task on purpose

[A BJ]

support but only if extreme or maybe Uber and higher can do as a perk. If all donor ranks are suddenly able to do this then everyone will only do tasks that are are already packed thus making it harder for newer players to try and kill.

[Trii]

This would be too op and not necessary unless it's locked behind immortal donor. 

[Cassidy]

Alot of good thought behind it but might be too OP if you can choose the same task over and over and over again, would also make streaks OP.

I'd be in support of high donators having a higher chances to a get a specific task (choose up to 5 similar to block list) but choosing a specific task everytime is a little too much for me.

[Foundational]

No Support

 

High rank donors are already OP in many aspects of the server (CoX shits out prayer scrolls for Uber+) and just doing the same task over and over again essentially ruins the purpose of slayer which is to explore NPC's/Bosses. 

 

Also, players with maxed out gear could camp a boss of their liking as long as they wanted with newer players not being able to have their turn. The hassle of going dry for a task you want provides that breathing room for a single world server to function.

[Mack]

No Support.

 

I don't think Donner, Rudolph or even Blitzen have anything to do with donations. Regardless, this has been declined several times prior because it would be far too overpowered and defeats the purpose of the Slayer skill. 

 

[PICKIN FLAX]

This is definitely something that has always had traction and support behind it, but has always ended up being scrapped. Choosing your task is a little bit extreme for a 1 world server, but of course would be nice to have as well. Only way I see this passing is if it were locked for Master+, maybe even just Immortal. I'm not just saying this because I am Immortal, as I've wanted this since I was a Super. Support.

[Blackpoiint]

I fully support this, and I've been thinking to make this topic myself. However, as it's been declined for so many times, I didn't make it. I did think about this quite a bit, which I will state underneath.

The best spot for this being implemented is extreme+ or maybe legendary+.
- you can skip tasks for free if you're super, hence it seems logical for me that the next upgrade is 1 - 2 donor ranks after this.
- the difference between master/immortal and the rest is growing bigger and bigger every update. It really would be nice to give the others some updates and QoL's to their ranks too.

However, I've got a few things I would like to bring up to nerf the impact of this update;
- There should be a fee, in slayer points, which would result the players in never gaining any slayer points after the task is done. (And maybe even lose a few points due to the slayer point bonuses you can activate). This could be implemented and caculated pretty easy in my opinion as each kill gives a certain amount of points.
- You should not be able to build up streaks whenever you choose your own task. This would be overpowered indeed. To tackle this, you should be assisgned a task like always. After cancelling this task, Nieve could ask the player to choose his own task in exchange for the fee i mentioned above. By implementing it like this you will never be able to build up any streak and you will be able to do slayer the old-fashioned way too.
- Konar slayer is only freely skippable for immortals only. In my opinion, konar slayer shouldn't be choosable at all.

Also, I noticed some people brought up the fact that implementing this would result in newer players to not get their turns. This is very not true in my opinion. I've grinded for several slayer boss pets right now. Usually, there were very little players who came and (tried to) crash me. Besides this, I always only had gaps of 1-10 minutes between tasks to bank and skip until i got the task i desired again. As you can imagine, the skipping part is very, very tedious.

[Billesh]

I mean it'd be nice to have in game but way to OP for people grinding out 200M's being able to get nechs/abbys/dusts . Be way more nicer to have more block lists per donor as you can get all monsters on Alora as tasks including wildy on same block lists

[Chromecast]

No support for this one. As mentioned before this will make the skill way too overpowered.

[TenFour]

Certainly see the appeal but think it would need to be pretty restrictive to not have too large of an effect on the game. I'd say minimally legendary donor + could have this option. Definitely would be helpful for players but would also cause a lot of issues of having monsters/bosses open as people could endlessly camp them.

[Cussler]

No support from me. Reason for it is a selfish one, I like the randomness of tasks. If I desperately wanted a specific a task I’d skip until I got it.

[No CBs]

No support from me. Okay fair enough Twisted League has it but original OSRS does not. Always huge disadvantages to just picking the same boss over and over again. This could lead to a lot of boss’ being a ‘First come first serve situation’. Also the slayer points, you could pick the most easiest/quickest boss over and over again and farm as many Slayer Points as you possibly could.

[Syms]

IF, this was to be accepted.

 

Only allow them to choose boss tasks which HAVE to then be completed within their own instance.

This'll just make it so they can camp certain boss tasks but at no annoyance to other players as they would also be forced to fight it in their instance.

 

 

Otherwise, no support.

[Vape Tricks]

I was going to not support this but then i had an realization that instead of locking it through donor ranks, why not make it a store item? Call it the "Slayer Selection Scroll" you have to cancel your task first, and then upon opening the scroll you get the interface that is in Twisted Leagues. Make each scroll have like 3-5 selections, then make them worth ~10-25 tokens. It gives an option but also allows for not everyone to do it and would help bring new cash flow to the game. 

 

Just my thoughts!
