What is your suggestion?: My suggestion is returning the option of picking between boss task(extreme task) and normal task 

 

Is this in OSRS?: I don't know. 

 

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: I don't know

 

How would this benefit Alora?: I personally think it would make many players happy, not having to try to get a specific task for 30 minutes straight. 

 

It's really annoying barely getting boss tasks from slayer masters. I just thought about the time when we could specifically choose to get a boss task from our slayer masters. Those really were the good old days. I really don't find any logical or legit reasons for it being gone, and i don't  find it that op. Please think about returning this, it would really help me out. Literally ruining my high clicking "cancel task" for 30 minutes straight. Every rsps has it's charm, and this was one of the settings i loved about this rsps. Thanks <3

I mean i'll support it, or just a increased rate turned on per donator rank, so Reg donator 5% increase of boss tasks if turned on ext...

But we'll probably be denied sadly.

Neutral on this. It would be nice to choose for boss tasks but I also kinda like the variety from normal and boss tasks. Never know what you get :)

I support this & I agree it should be per the donator ranks because sitting there for an hour trying to get specific boss tasks is annoying

I like the new slayer system, i think it encourages people to play the game a little more instead of only bossing!

I see why people would love to see this implemented back into the game though.

i also miss those boss task, but it wont come back im pretty sure. lot of players talked about it and it wont change.

 

i support that they should bring back those boss task but it will be denied.

 

the only thing i can see is since eternal can choose a task they should do something like this :

 

immortal have a random 5 task they can choose between, (for every skip )

master have a choice of 3 task they can choose between  (for every skip)

uber have a choice of 2 task  (for every skip )

lower rank stay at 1 task choice every skip.

 

idk if  @Omicron Can do this but would be awesome, wouldnt be like before but would be better for donator rank and a bit faster since you have better chance to receive the task you looking for

this wouldnt be to op, but decent for every donator rank you reach.

I’m neutral on this one. Like what was stated above the new task system gives people more incentive to play instead of just purely bossing.

I was majorly against removing boss tasks when it got announced but I’ve come round to it now and on reflection it was a bit of an op option. I do like what @Fals said though on maybe introducing a % increase of a boss task depending on your donor level as a perk.

I support your suggestion. I feel some of these updates have been really good for the server but some things were much better off left alone. I feel an aspect of the past that made alora so much more fun was a lack of some mechanic's charging items ect or I.E your example of the slayer. It's hard to find the balance in fun vs pointless grinding... but I hope your suggestion is added! well back *

Im neutral on this. Boss tasks is way to OP for gathering slayer points since u just can choose to kill 3 of the specific boss and u will get your points, that way you can get an insane streak without killing to much bosses. 

I do like the idea of increasing the chance for getting a boss task per donator rank, or the suggestion @strudelle made.

Support!
This if one of the features Alora had before, that I am missing. Quality of life, spending upwards to an hour to get your desired task for Super Donators+ is just painful.

@Brambo good point. How about finding a fix/scale for this? For example getting less slayer points for 3 bosses?

No support from me on your suggestion. 

 

The root of this is in the last years Alora has been moving the game in a direction where it is more like OSRS but not exactly like it.

This means bringing more balance to the game, so they changed chamber of xeric to have different rooms make it more interesting, nerfed fishing mantas, seers course, construction (burners) and many more things to balance things out. They also changed slayer to where it is like OSRS to fit more with this direction, I feel like before we start nit-picking and suggesting reverse updates, we should ask ourselves if we actually want to go back in the old direction or keep the current path.

@Joey, thanks for your response. I personally enjoyed the good old times. It's a reason it's a rsps, with it's own charm that many are fond of. I do not like this direction, and would love some changes, in the direction of the old times.

Your suggestion has been partially accepted, we've increased the likelihood of receiving a boss task for various donator ranks.
