Today we got a huge update, not gonna discuss the full update click HERE for the full update topic.
I took the slayer part and posted it here in this topic
Spoiler
Slayer changes:
Konar now has a chance to assign boss tasks to players who have the Like a boss perk unlocked.
Players can now attack their superior encounters with priority over other npc's.
Slayer Extensions:
We’ve introduced slayer extensions to Nieve’s slayer reward shop:
All the extensions are properly functioning, with the exception of the Scabarites extension which will be added in the future when the Scabarite task is added.
The comprehensive list of extensions can be found here:
All prices in the slayer exchange shop have been divided by 4.
This also means players slayer points have been divided by 4.
Players generally won’t notice a difference, since both their points and the shop prices were reduced by a factor of 4x, so this change is only a complementary to scale to the new point system.
Slayer streaks will no longer reset from blocking/cancelling tasks.
New point system:
We’ve re-written the slayer points system to be more similar to OSRS.
This new system will provide a default amount of slayer points based on the type of task you do.
Even though most unlocks/perks will be useful for hard slayer tasks, Hard/Easy/Medium tasks all provide the same amount of points to allow newer players to build a stronger point foundation early on.
Players will also receive large bonuses for completing every 10, 25, 50, 100 and 250 tasks.
All points received are eligible for bonuses.
Slayer point boost changes:
The slayer point vote bonus has been reduced to 15% as opposed to 25%.
The slayer point boost for the Morytania diaries has been increased to the following:
Easy diaries: 5% boost
Medium diaries: 7.5% boost
Hard diaries: 10% boost
Elite diaries: 15% boost
Point boosts:
15% vote bonus
0-50% bonus slayer points for events
0-15% bonus for Morytania diaries
10% bonus points for Konar tasks from the hard Kourend diaries
The slayer point boosts are additive, meaning that the max boost(with all boosts applying) would be a 1.9x boost multiplier.
Extreme tasks are no longer a category of their own.
They have been given a weight as a hard task, and if that task is chosen, players will be able receive a random boss task.
Gargoyles now require a rock hammer to kill.
Once the gargoyle has reached 9 hit points or less, players can use their rock hammers to smash the gargoyles.
Rock slugs now require a bag of salt to kill.
Once the Rockslug has 5 hit points or less, players can use their bag of salt on the Rockslug to kill it.
Removal of free slayer task skipping:
We’ve made the decision to remove the free task skips for super donator+ ranks.
Immortal donators will however retain a portion of this perk, and will only have to pay half the cancellation costs for slayer tasks.
This decision was made due to the fact that having unlimited skips essentially defeats the purpose of the skill, since most players ended up skipping tasks repeatedly until they got the ones they wanted.
This is a necessary change, since we want to move forward with slayer expansion, and add task extensions, and a new point distribution system more focused on actually doing the tasks assigned.
We’ve implemented changes to the slayer task selection system, and made it a weight-based system, more similar to OSRS.
Each task is associated with a weight, and the higher the weight, the more likely you are to get that task.
I like the ideas that went into this but in my opinion changing something such as slayer, the free skips and agility in particular was a bad move, why change something thats worked well for years, that you could've kept the points but changed the store rather easily, that and falador course is so scuffed, i'm not hating on this update i love the ideas that went into it, i just thing agility and slayer has been made harder, than what people are used to. People are mad. i myself particularly at the agility aspects, but i think you should go the drawing bored on this, because honestly the ammount of people talking about this negativly is not looking good, people spamming complaining about how they donated specifically for free skips and how the one thing they wanted has been removed and so forth, if a game works well why make a drastic change. I'm sorry if this came across as bashing a clearly nice update, im not saying its bad, just the changes to agility and slayer have people annoyed.
I think the reason behind the slayer update is most likely; the eco is getting destroyed by people camping certain bosses.
The problem is that the game is getting to much items ingame like (bandos tassets, primordial boots) people don't buy anything in the tp.
This change would reduce the income of certain items I think. The problem is alot of Super donators+ donated for those options.
IMO;Take free skips, or take extreme tasks option. Don't take both this is just to much. Also change the slayer points I killed 90 kurask for 19 slayer points.
We should get like 1 point for every kill. maybe 3 for boss kills to be reasonable. Then change the prices of the items in the shop again so you need to grind for it. for example make imb scroll 3500, but U can skip tasks this way.
You can also implent an amount for super donors+ of boss tasks a day Supers 5 boss tasks extreme 10 a day and so on.
The fact they made it like this without adding other slayer masters like turael for example is one of the biggest issues. in osrs you can do 9 easy tasks in an hour for example then the 10th task for the points boost. but here you have to do 10 slow tasks first making it really hard for new players to get the first 400 points for a slayer helm for example. This is one of the biggest issues besides the ones everyone has already mentioned.
Personally i only did extreme tasks and never skipped them. If i got a boss that wasn't instanced than i would pay the 4m or whatever for the private room to get the 35 kills done and then move on. I never really made a whole lot of money from slayer because most of the rare drops aren't even worth that much compared to the price of most of the top tier items you get from raiding etc, so selling the imbue scroll once i got enough points would just pay me back a lot of the money i spent on the private instances. Definitely disappointed that they did away with the old extreme task system.
