What is your suggestion?: 

 

1. Add profile switcher, it is very useful, for everyone.

 <------>

 

 

2. PVP Performance Tracker:

https://github.com/M...ormance-tracker

 

 

 

3. GPU Render, example here: 

 

 

4. Move EdgePvP ornate pool inside of bank:

It would match most servers just to make it more convenient. Maybe add Dark Altar so we can change spell book without teleporting around.

 

 

5. Add Dragon Bolts, Opal Dragon Bolts (e), or Dragonstone Dragon Bolts (e) to PKP Store, or literally any store...

The lowest price for these in the TP ATM is 128k.... for each, also there's only ~500 even listed ATM.

Using dragonstone (e) bolts does not compare, especially when you can look at TP and see almost 70K javs listed.

I would just go off the barrage/tb sacks for the price, no idea what they should be.

If any one of these passes it should be this...

6. Add render self command to ;;rs or ;;renderself, maybe connect it to enable entity hider (maybe add a hotkey trigger)?

Entity hider itself looks ok, I'm not sure if it shows HP bar as I've turned it on once.

It is unrealistic to open your plugins in the middle of a fight, if someones dd'ing you (standing under you) or you want to dd on them its very useful.

 

 

 

7. Fix looting bag to work at EdgePvP like OSRS PVP worlds.

 

8. Allow spell sacks to work at EdgePvP.

 

9. Emblem drops and upgrades at EdgePvP. This might make people Pking there a bit more active. I have no idea if this is a thing currently so feel free to let me know.

 

10. *maybe* Rework some of the rules.

This might make some people upset and I'm not trying to attack staff team or defend anyone who broke any rule but some of these rules are strange, very situational, or seem misguided.

I understand this is not a strictly PK server so you can't say the n word every other sentence but people having permanent mutes for years, being mac muted/banned for one offence after years of not having any offences seems a little harsh (Obviously I don't have the whole situation, context, etc.).
I've written some of these rules I could go down the list picking out each rule and what I think of it but IMO there should be a more backseat approach and basic set of rules. 

If a player is truly detrimental to the community, sure, ip/mac/uuid mute or ban them. But after playing on a lot of other servers, and 07, I don't see the rules being exercised nearly as frequently or as strictly.

This is obviously an opinion so you're free to disagree, in total there's '18' ingame rules and '11' forum rules with around an additional 68 parts in total (the a., b., etc., not even including staff discretion), I'm sure not even some staff members would know all these rules and each part of them, how do you expect new, current or returning players to remember all of these and abide by them.

 

 

Is this in OSRS?:

 Some of them sure.

 

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:

I have absolutely no idea

 

How would this benefit Alora?:

Pk updates = more pkers.

Really insightful post. From my point of view, as a player who never pked properly I feel like I don't have the competence to discuss pk related topic. But, in regarding of #3 Dragon bolts - don't support. Just the fact that you can only obtain it from Vorkath (excluding addy and rune dragons with their 1/121 of obtaining d bolts) makes it more valuable. If staff decides to add it to pkp shop it becomes much more easier to obtain and the value of the items decreases drastically(which obviously is too high atm) but that is not the main issue. Vorkath becomes a boss that no one wants to do after 50kc, atm I would definitely find motivation to do a Vorkath slayer task just because I know I can get my hands on some additional d bolts. Perhaps this perception changes if you are a normie who do not want to grind all the parts yourself but when looking into games economy - It would only make it worse.

+1 support.

 

I like most of the suggestions, they add a good qol & incentive to pvp.
 

Personally I only play on the regular client and ::renderself works however it also hides the person under you so it completly defeats the purpose of it.

 

 

Regarding #10 I strongly agree that this server has way to strict rules on wilderness.
Imo everything except from like spamming pk cringe in yell should be fine, there is an ignore list if people get offended.

Even think revisiting rules regarding: Scouting, Account sharing (unless to get benefits over others when competing for ranks or in competitions), multi logging etc should be considered.

Good stuff @Mhk , Support all of those ofc.

I checked on RL entity hider and it seems to not have this issue, however ;;renderself while using RL gives you this prompt. I cannot play on the regular client as it is drastically tiny on my monitor so stretched fixed mode on RL is the only way I play.

I wouldn't say the price being pretty high at the moment is the main issue, more just the lack of their existence in the game. Price on OSRS is a little under 1k for 1. Maybe add them to bloody chests, supply crates (add ahrims bottoms too lol), anything really. Even if just the regular dragon bolts are added somewhere it still allows people to make money off making them into Opals for pkers, ruby for pvmers, etc. Also would make use of that extreme dono gem mine I've never really used.

This is just one drop out of 60, which makes it still incredibly rare, maybe up the # received? Compared to other types of ammunition which comes in via PVM, Skilling, these are very lacking for something that should be fairly common. On OSRS there are a lot of people grinding vorkath or rune/addy drags so it makes sense there's alot more but going to include the GE tracker which shows the quantity these are being traded in / kind of shows how much are coming into the game.

Supporting this 100% as a evil player kill myself I can definitely see these suggestions bring more action to the PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER SCENE.

(also make it so loot tracker is on by default so we can actually get killpics from mob)

[fat hedgehog]

Agree with all of these, although some may take some caution in approaching properly.

Dragon Bolts are ridiculous to obtain as there is no server-wide need for rune/addy dragon loot or vorkath loot besides these bolts which is a bit unreal to expect people to grind the shit out of vorkath for some bolts. No one wants to do an hour or more of vorkath a day for one pk sesh. (which is blatantly highlighted by the complete lack of dragon bolts at any sort of reasonable price).

Plug-ins are an obvious QOL that should be necessary on any server that has any intention of retaining pvp activity.

Edge-pvp has no reason to act differently from other wilderness areas, so all the suggestions regarding it make complete sense to me.

The rules suggestion should be approached carefully but I do agree nonetheless.

Problem with Dragon bolts is, for vorkath to be a viable way of bossing. The bolts need to be really expensive and even then, other content is alot more efficient to do on alora.

I feel like maybe a gp drop increase to vorkath, aswell as atleast doubling the dragon bolt amount dropped. So that way maybe more ironmen are getting the incentive to farm vorkath over other current gp ways.

I just personally dont really feel like adding them to pkp shop would be a viable solution, considering. If you bring any other way of dragon bolts, the little that vorkath has going for it on alora, is gone.

 

Long story short, I feel like there just need to be more bolts comming into the game. Aswell as give people the incentive to farm vorkath, cus honestly. The boss drops it quiet often. Just not that many at a time. Specially not compared to the amount of bolts being used in fights.

 

And thats just my few cents, Im just a simple pvmermenz raggermenz. I just feel range is already really really strong on alora. And making super easy acces to dragon bolts might only make the pvp scene even more broken than it already is. (Maybe adding a 10-20 dragon bolt drop "Compared to archaic emblem drops" to wildy slayer would bring more bolts in, without making it a complete no effort way like pkp.)

Keep in mind they buffed dragon bolts quiet significantly in osrs. So if that happens here. No point to make dragon bolts super consumeable on everything.

 

Cus no matter how you turn it, alora is mainly a pvm server as most of the community is some kind of ironman. 

 

 

Rest of the proposals seem like pvp QoL updates mainly so support that ofcourse.

 

Rules I feel like is a rough one. Already is enough toxicity, dont feel like they should actually release the chain on some xD

[Blackpoiint]

Yes i vouch on all. Good changes.

[Horror]

yh support. frankly still kind of amazing dbolts are barely in the game when they've been pretty much mandatory if you're using dcb/acb on 07 for the past THREE years (over one THOUSAND days) ((very high number of days))

[5]

Support to all.

 

Don't see the issue with adding Dragonstone dragon bolts to the pkp shop at least. They're literally only used for pking and if you're using any dragon bolts it would be the ruby and diamond variant for pvm.

[Who is Ivy]

Support on all of these from me.

Especially the GPU rendering.

[The forgoten]

I Support all of these suggestions!

 

Currently this game has a dead wildy. Make PVP great again 2021. 

MAGA (Make Alora Great Again)

Majority of these have been added, feel free to make another thread for the pool / ::renderself suggestions.

Your suggestion has been accepted.
