HRD

Very good weekend!

Great news. There were some offers that aged back to day 1. I have no clue about what I'm about to ask, but wouldn't it be essencially having the same mode that already exist twice, with the only difference being the drop rates and the exclusive Trading Post?

What I fugired just from asking around. What are your thoughts on the rest of the list?

That's how Trading Post works. People that do that want to sell the items quickly. You either undercut or you wait. I'm guessing this happened to you. Wouldn't hurt but I'm sure they have this implemented to prevent some sort of cheating. You can already buy services in the forums for Infernal Capes. Having them available in-game for purchase defeats the purpose of defeating the Inferno, even if it's only 3 waves. I agree. Zaros has become to 1:1 to OSRS. A lot of players went back to it or changed servers due to the lack of drops for the time invested.

Im sure there's a way to make this work. Either a cap per day/week, or a total amount of items cashed in. It's not certain someone would find it. It could be hidden in a rock, and the wilderness is huge. This would make people look for it and kill people looking for it.

Quality of Life Add the correct sounds to all the weapons and effects - For someone that likes to play with game sounds, not having sounds on some weapons it's annoying. These are, but not limited to: Blowpipe normal attack & Special attack; Dragon Claws Special. Fix the Dragon Hunter Lance running animation - Currently you run as you were using a 2h weapon. DHL has a unique running animation that, in my opinion, suits one of the nice things about owning one, especially Ironmen. Add a placeholder for a completely charged Dragonfire Shield - Something unique to Zaros that would make organizing banks and tabs a lot easier. There isn't a scenario where someone would use the DFS charged attack, making this change something nice for a lot of people. This could also be possible for other weapons/shields. Trading Post & Economy Add a minimum value for items - This would allow the bank worth to be accurate and give players a idea of how much it's worth. Implement a new shop where people could sell items for the minumum value set for each item. This way players could sell the items for GP, allowing GP to flow through players and allowing them to buy other items from the TP (Items sold to this shop could be erased, helping the overflow of items coming in and no GP coming out). Add a rare drop to every monster of a huge cash stack (something between 5-10M, flexible). This would help the GP flow when PVming. Buy out the entire Trading Post offers that are new (1 week old max) for certain items. This option would give players that have stuck items in there GP, increase the amount of GP in the economy and erase a lot of items. Items to buy out (All items in the list are items that have a lot of offers in the Trading Post): Bandos Chestplate; Bandos Tassets; All godswords; Primordial, Pegasian and Eternal boots; Zenyte Jewelry; Armadyl Chestplate; Armadyl Chainskirt; Armadyl Helmet; Dragon Hunter Lance; Dragon Warhammer; Berserker, Archer's and Seer's Rings; Hydra Leather; Blowpipe; Trident; Serpentine Helm; Magic Fang; Tanzanite Fang; Serpentine Visage; Abyssal Whip; Zamorakian Spear & Hasta; Staff of the Dead (All variants); Dragon Boots; Infinity Boots; Occult Necklace; Zenytes; Barrows Items; Well of Goodwill - Add a way for people to donate for boosts. Mainly works as a money sink, but also like a incentive for people to spend their GP. Higher the amount donated, better the boost. Thresholds and boosts: 15M - 20M - 30M - 40M - 50M - 60M - 70M - 80M - 90M - 100M - 120M - 140M - 160M - 180M - 200M; Bonus XP (1.1x -> 1.5x); Bonus Pearls; Bonus Coin Drops; Bonus Slayer Points; Bonus Slayer Superior Rates; Bonus COX rate (5% -> 10%); Bonus TOB rate (8% - > 15%); Bonus Loot; Bonus Clue Scroll Rolls (Depending on the amount donated, the clue tier increases: 15M -> 30M Easy Clues, 40M - 70M Medium Clues, 80M - 100M Hard Clues, 120M - 160M Elite Clues and 180M - 200M Master Clues); Bonus Pet rate (5% -> 15%). New Game Mode Create a new game mode where you would have better drop rates. This mode would have access to Normal account, Ironmen Account, Hardcore Ironmen, Ultimate Ironmen and Group Ironmen. Things to note: Create a Trading Post for this new game mode. This would allow players that choose a easier drop table to trade instead of ruinning the old economy; Items dropped by Ironmen accounts would only appear for the new game mode normal accounts; Normal game mode players wouldn't get any loot from killing new game mode players. Drop rates would be significantly better, for people that want to have a easier time getting items. All game modes would have a 15% to 20% chance of having a item. This game mode would give OG game modes a even better feeling of accomplishment when getting items. TOB Solo Option With the current player count, it's borderline impossible to get teams for TOB. It's even worse when a HCIM wants to do it, but feels like the other players will make something to get him killed. Adding a easier option to solo TOB is something that could make players do it more, and would help people that need to do it solo. With this new mode, some adjustments need to take place: Slightly worse drop rates. Don't make them horrible, maybe a 1% -> 2% nerf; Remove some mechanics that would make solo possible, but still a challenge; Decrease the HP of the bosses and minions; Decrease the attack damage from bosses and minions; Decrease the amount of spawns from Maiden; Decrease the amount of spawns from Nylo. Make it so Nylo only spawns 2 different spider colors instead of 3. Boss remains the same; Decrease the amount of poison pools on Xarpus OR make it a 50% chance of him spawning one; Increase the damage dealt by Dawnbringer OR decrease the shield amount; Decrease the amount of spawns on Verzik; Make Verzik 2 phase only to prevent solos from being long due to the spider damage method. Wilderness Updates Remove Ancient Caskets; Every hour, 1-2 Billion GP would be hidden somewhere in the wilderness for a set amount of time (Could be hidden in a rock, piles of bones, etc). After the times up, the GP would disappear. Whenever someone finds it, a chat message would pop up so people would have a chance of killing the carrier; Wilderness Slayer keys would have a different drop table for Ironmen. This drop table would include: 100 Raw Anglerfish; 100 Raw Karambwan 100 Raw Sharks; 15 - 30 Prayer Potions; 5- 20 Super Restores; 5 - 20 Saradomin Brews; 50 - 250 Adamant to Dragon Darts; 100 - 300 Adamant to Rune Bolts; 100 - 200 Coal, Adamant and Rune Ores 30 - 60 Dragon Bones 1,000 - 2,000 Essence 1-5 Ranarr, Toadflax, Snapdragon and Torstol seeds and 15 - 30 herbs; 100 - 500 Death, Blood, Astral, Soul, Chaos, Nature Runes; Dragon Pickaxe (1/750); All Malediction Wards (1/150); Dagon'Hai Robes (1/500); 1-2 Custom Items (Maybe) Remove the Teleport to Target spell OR add a way for people to be protected from it: A Scroll that prevents teleports to you; A protection of some sort bought from Slayer Shop/Voting Shop/Donator Shop that lasts a set amount of time. Other Updates Reword Magic accuracy; Revamp the Wintertodt drop table for uniques; Add more Death, Blood, Soul and Astral runes to shops; Add Master Wand, Mage's Book and Infinity Boots to Crystal Chest (1/750 drop rate for each); Add Crystal Shards to Crystal Chest (6 - 12 Amounts); Please consider this thread. Everything is up for discussion, and more suggestions might be added in the future. Please comment down below!

What's the Seren's Tome? NVM just realised yall typed it wrong.

Most of the server are Ironman, and Death, Blood, Astrals, Souls and Chaos are runes we constantly need.

IDK what half of those are, but the crystals look like recolours for the pet? Hope the tome and the other unique are good, otherwise you and I have a very different meaning of juicy.

Well, any chance we could know what they are?

Why would you grind this? Has no drop table

Who asked for all this? Is the Fragment of Seren a boss without drops? If so, why would I risk my HCIM Status fighting it? All the shit you said would be on the next update aren't here.

Guess you're not quitting, but regardless, good luck with your IRL endevours. We had some fun times over yell KEKW

Voting is still not a thing, so you decided to put the items on the voting shop on the donator shop. Talk about money grabbing lmfao. You can't deal with bots so you nerf heroes. Not only you shadow nerf it, but you banned legit players with the nuke you did, and you just nulified the best money making method for ironman that don't train combat. (Yes, becouse Slayer is the only way to make decent money now). There's still tons of bugs in the game, yet a custom feature is priority. 3 of your mods (becouse the rest either don't play or just do fuck all) only talk in yell to type "It's time to change the topic" or "Stop advertising services", yet when Youtubers do it no one says anything, and it's perfectly allowed. Calling a mod dumb is worth a mute, yet calling everyone retard, faggot, kys and neck it IRL is perfectly fine and it's not addressed. Seems like all your staff is in 1 timezone. Theres been situations where there was 2K+ players online and no staff in sight.

@Chaflie I'd put some pressure in this matter since a lot of people got thrown away from the competition becouse of bug abuses. It's only fair to make things right.

Exactly. I didn't know about the molten glass method. It did no harm.

The main problem with Construction is the price of the planks. It has come to my attention that the price is actually a lot lower than I originally said, but still, it's a lot for Ironman. If the 10x would get removed, I'd say the problem gets solved? This would need to be implemented in the rest of the skills that require a lot of shop buying. You can't change the past, but you can make sure the future is fair and square for eveyone.

I would, but we were promised a "perfect" server, and up until now it has been everything but that.

I felt the need to make this thread since NO STAFF replies to any messages in Discord. The recent nerfs to skills and methods of training have really made a lot of people complain and think twice about continue to invest time here. Not only it's unfair to people that have a life and can't play 20h a day, but it makes certain stuff borderline impossible to achieve. We've been promised the best server ever. I can see why the hype, and even though bugs are expected, the people who are making the calls on the nerfs and buffs need to ask someone else for an opinion. The server is great, but I've written all the stuff that happened since the begging, that got aknowledged and changed: Farming - We started with a ridiculous low amount of herbs per patch. We thought it was okay since most of us didn't have access to super/ultra compost. Things didn't change after a few days, and then a update was implemented: We got more herbs per patch, things looked a lot more smoother and easier when it came to get supplies, especially for Ironman. Then, you screwed up again. Previously I got 150+ herbs per run using 7 patches, and now I get barely 60. I don't get 3 herbs in one patch in OSRS, it shouldn't be a thing here. Construction - Day one, people found out the price of making planks was just retarded, so molten glass was the best price/xp, especially for ironman. People who abused it got away with it, whilst people that didn't gotta stick with plankmaking, that costs over 100 MILLION FOR NORMAL IRONMAN. Didn't even make the maths for Elite. Crafting - Day one it was impossible to train on charter ships. All the shops being shared makes zero sense. There is no drawback to having a separate shop in every ship. Even if the shops restocks "quickly", it just takes 3 people with pid to buy all the stock. Mining - Even though this is something small, it's not right and it's annoying for people who care. Mining Amethyst is just pathetic. I needed 2 inventories and I spent 2 HOURS mining to get it. Thieving - Snape Grass was added, but it seems impossible to get a single seed. I went from 75 to 99 and I got 2 seeds. Voting Shop Rewards - With no ETA on voting, the rewards locked on the voting shop will remain there until you decide to release voting? We can't use volcanic ash with fertile soil, we can't buy the gloves to assist skilling, we can't buy scrolls and all the other cosmetics. At least make them available in the achievement shop until voting gets released, but the completed ignorance of this it's just ridiculous. Macro Questions - Why the hell am I getting 6 questions in ONE INVENTORY of fish? All these questions don't even make sense, are hard and complicated for no reason. I understand you're trying to fight the bots, but this ain't gonna make a difference. Stop with the damn questions! It's annoying. Bank Space - I get it, you want money. What I don't get is why we only have access to 400 bank space? If I want to have 1 unit of every single PVM item in the game, I can't. That's just.. Don't forget we're playing a PRIVATE SERVER. It's meant to be easier than OSRS: Drop rates, access to items, etc. I've seen this happen before and I'm sure you know, shit like this makes people leave. Please consider these topics.
