Title: Ancient Curses?
Post by: Thomy on September 25, 2014, 05:55:55 am
Hey guys,

Before I start working on ancient curses, I want to know if you even want to have them in game? If you do not want them, can you please state why?

The poll will run for 3 days. If there's a definite majority wanting the curses, I'll start working on them. The plan is that they will be a reward of some new boss monster. Simply said, same mechanics as fire cape.

All the best,
Thomy

Of course we want to see ancient curses!

I believe that this would be a healthy addition to the game, and it would bring a new level to PvM and PvP.  I remember that, on Emps-Scape, the concept of adding curses was a very popular one.

Furthermore, adding ancient curses would provoke players to strive for level 95 prayer (instead of sitting comfortably at 70).   That's a comparison of 738k experience (for level 70) and 8.77mil experience (for 95).  The demand for dagannoth bones would rise drastically, thus providing formidable income for mid-level and high-level players.

Another thing to note is that having curses might actually attract a whole new generation of players, which, I'm sure, will add to the Pking community.

I voted yes I don't know why :(

I think we shouldn't have them!! If we're gonna have curses then thomy will get all these weird armors like statius, zuriels etc. I don't want them in this game. It will just ruin the real fun in this game.

Post by: Lt Range99 on September 25, 2014, 07:09:24 am
Voted No, becouse i was waiting so much time to play the old but gold Emps-Scape, not a copy of other servers. Same opinion about Kolodion boss. Why it's gone? :/ I understand that update like ancient curses would make more players, but i can say that Emps is loosing it's name by doing this. What you think after curses, vesta?statius?torva and so on? :/

A little explanation or adding pictures for those who doesn't know what is it, would be very helpful.

I'll vote no.

Would be great to see them in-game, I hope it won't take a long time to kill the new boss (should be a quest reward which is linked to killing a boss like desert war)

For those who do not know what curses are all about: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Ancient_Curses It will be high end content anyway so the way to unlock them will be in accordance with it I assume. Voting yes.
Title: Re: Ancient Curses?
Post by: I Pk Ur Nan on September 25, 2014, 09:28:29 am
I think it will be a amazing addition, but as Fate did state the dagganoth bones will rise and be more on demand.  I'd like to see them though.

I hope you guys do realise that every game needs some kind of progress, you can't expect to stay on the same level forever, which unfortunately means that pvp armour, nex armour, curses and all that will come at some point of the game and it's inevitable when we have nothing more left to add. It's just a matter of time, but probably not anytime soon.

I would vote yes if it wasn't for soulsplit. Soulsplit is the most OP prayer ever.

Thomy,I Think the right one is ok I voted NO because many players will quit just for ancient curses so dont make it. We want old school

Post by: Thomy on September 25, 2014, 11:31:02 am
For those voting no: What are your fears? Why are curses bad? We wouldn't release OP prayers btw, it'd be decently balanced and deliver high level prayer content. At present prayer stops at 70.
Title: Re: Ancient Curses?

Yea, but i dont know, i vote no because i dont like em too.

No thank you, this server will be overrun by leeching raggers that have nothing better to do

Other than leeching curses I support, but leech will be in this game when ancients come no matter what so I voted no.
Title: Re: Ancient Curses?
Post by: Pker Bro X4 on September 25, 2014, 11:57:43 am
I think adding ancient curses will ruin the game, just my opinion, it would be a little too easy to pvm and no1 would use the old prayers.
Title: Re: Ancient Curses?
Post by: Red Elite on September 25, 2014, 12:05:41 pm
This will make the game bad, and it will be too much like runescape, and @ rock gyu, the reason why this is not really like runescape is because it is much lenient on member items like dragon, and thomy puts In things that people like. If it was like runescape dont u think we would still be playing runescape?
Title: Re: Ancient Curses?
Post by: Jp on September 25, 2014, 12:07:17 pm
Soulsplit/turmoil is not that OP as people seems to think and besides, soulsplit will only be available for ~100 players currently and turmoil for even less.

Soulsplit does not heal you that much and because boss monsters tend to hit very high it's still more effective to use protection prayers. Soulsplit on RS3 currently heals 10% of the damage dealt, lets say you hit 20 you get 2 HP. That's very underpowered in my opinion.

I couldn't agree more with this.

In my opinion Ancient Curses would bring more fun to the game especially to PvP, It's really exciting to test a new features so you would have a lot of methods using Prayer.
Due to the majority, It seems like they don't like this new idea.. I wish to have a short video to introduce this new feature, so think about recording one Thomy because it might change a few players' opinions.

I'll Vote Yes.

Just to throw my 5 cents in here.
^You do see were the last updates drove rs.
However i do agree with you. But if we could make something our own, unique ourself. That would have been cool.

i voted no because simply if you take a look at the votes distribution then you'll get the idea. it is almost 50-50 which gives us the picture of the community and the reaction players might have. it does seem like the majority is with the curses ( and i would have voted yes too in other conditions) but its not that big of a difference there. i am not sure if people will really quit because of new controversial updates but this is absolutely unhealthy. please don't split the community over one update.
 althoug i would like to note that adding new hard bosses and other content might be good to bring balance, and it will be really refreshing to see and play.

Well the idea behind voting is to get a majority passing... 55/50 split is not majority IMO something closer to like 70/30 is a majority

lol why do some admins act like we dont know anything about ancient curses? We've played other rspses, ofc we know what they are and almost all other rspses have curses, what makes emp scape different is because it different from other rspses, I voted no.

Well curses are good for PVP'ing and very easy to defeat bosses like KBD, chaos elemental etc.. Well I voted no, idk why. Maybe those are too OP for this server. Piety is good enough (regular prayer).

Precisely this.

I'm also fairly certain that there's a few players who voted "no" and don't even play. So that's technically not even fair.

@Quote from you Dylan Aka Callmedragon Aka bitchgod.

The newer graphics are actually the reason my friends and I arent playing... Just doesnt feel like emps. Would def support the option to switch between graphics styles like it used to be.
Quote
Really hope this isn't true as the main reason im not playing right now is because I don't like the graphics styles
Quote
Exactly ^ I have 4 IRL friends who wont even play because they do not like the current graphics

Why would you want skills, or monsters or quests or anything like that when you don't even play the freaking game.
Why are you going around here bitching, having your input on everything. Still not playing ingame.
This is an update that will is necesarry to keep the players alive. Small or big is better than nothing.
Would you rather get a sandwich a day, or starving rest of your life? Exactly.

Look at your quotes stated above.
You stated 2 times that you and your friends are not playing because of the graphics.
Congratulations with 4 IRL friends.
If i am acting 12 years old, then you are acting like a 13 year girl who just got to puberty and hit her first period and are insecure and thinks everyone hates her.
So yeah, congratualtions again. You are a whole year and hormons ahead of me.

Alright then, looks like curses are not going to come since the majority of the votes clearly states no. I don't quite understand why, because imho they would've been a great addition to the game.

Nonetheless I accept your answer and will forget the idea of curses.
