Update Notes / Updates 16/04/2015
« on: April 13, 2015, 01:50:17 pm »
Hey guys,

I got quite a lot stuff changed for today. Please take your time and read through it. Some changes are really important!

We're trying to make PvP more popular. The current combat system works perfectly fine for PvM, but the hits are just too high for PvP. We're therefore nerfing some strength bonuses of high level equipment. On the other hand we'll also decrease some monster's hitpoints so that PvM won't become more difficult. On top of that, we're buffing special attacks to make PvP more exciting!

Following things have been updated:
  • IMPORTANT: Untradeable items are lost during PvP fights in the wilderness. However, if you die versus a WildyWyrm without having fought a player, you will still be able to pickup untradeable items (e.g. void knight armour). Simply said: If no other player gets your item drop in the wilderness, you can pickup your untradeables again, else you lose them. You can still pickup untradeable items everywhere and all the time outside the wilderness!
  • IMPORTANT: Teleports now block incoming hits. Whenever your teleport starts, you cannot die anymore. The only exception is if a teleblock successfully hits you during your teleport animation. That will still cancel your teleport.
  • Thrown equipment and karil's crossbow are now 0.5 seconds faster.
  • An important bug was fixed which caused the (e) bolts effect occur with a 12.5% chance rather than 25% which was always intended to be.
  • A sound bug was fixed where it would only play on full volume, although it's far away.
  • Following monster's hitpoints were changed: (from --> to)
    • KBD: 720 --> 500
    • Chronozon: 1050 --> 850
    • Smoke demon champion: 500 --> 400
    • Kree'arra: 450 --> 380
    • General graardor: 410 --> 380
    • K'ril tsutsaroth: 430 --> 380
    • Jad: 468 --> 400
    • Chaos elemental: 431 --> 330
    • Frost dragon: 275 --> 200
    • Mithril dragon: 240 --> 190
    • Brutal green dragon: 195 --> 165
    • Black dragon: 190 --> 150
    • Red dragon: 157 --> 128
    • Blue dragon: 117 --> 103
    • Green dragon: 89 --> 82
    • Steel dragon: 220 --> 175
    • Iron dragon: 173 --> 147
    • Bronze dragon: 125 --> 108
    • Ice strykewyrm: 190 --> 174
    • Spectrals: 450 --> 342
    • Corporeal beast 1st form: 450 --> 304
    • Corporeal beast 2nd form: 700 --> 531
  • Amulet of str (t), amulet of magic (t) and amulet of ranging strength bonus lowered from 15 to 12.
  • Culinaromancer gloves nerfed (Barrow, dragon, rune, ... gloves). Barrow gloves now give +6 str in all combat styles. Dragon gloves give +5 and rune gloves +4.
  • Bandos, Armadyl and battle robes strength bonuses nerfed. Chest and legs now give +4 strength bonus. Boots and helm/hood give +3 strength bonus.
  • Dragonfire shield strength bonus nerfed. It now gives +4.
  • Fighter torso strength bonus nerfed. It now gives +4.
  • Third age armours buffed. Every armour piece now gives +1 strength bonus. Chest and legs give +2 strength bonus.
  • Ancient armours strength bonus nerfed (vesta, statius, zuriel, morrigan): Chest and legs now give +8 strength, helm +4 strength.
  • Your equipment screen now shows bonuses for prayers and void knight armour. These bonuses are no longer invisible to you:
  • Due to the strength bonus changes, we're buffing some special attacks: (from --> to)
    • Dragon dagger: 95% --> 105%
    • Vesta longsword: 125% --> 135%
    • Vesta spear: 130% --> 145%
    • Statius warhammer: 110% --> 130%
    • Morrigan javelin & throwing axe: 125% --> 135%
    • AGS: 120% --> 131.25%
    • SGS, ZGS, BGS: 110% --> 125%
    • Seercull: 110% --> 115%

  • Onyx bolts (e) special effect changed. It now hits up to 25 damage and heals you for 20% of your hit.
  • Darkbow attack speed reduced to 4.5 seconds down from 7 seconds.
  • Vesta spear now does 90% of its special attack immediately (used to be 70%). The remaining 10% appear half a second later as 2 separated hits.
  • Spear and staff attack/block animations updated.
  • Revenants nerfed. They now hit 10 less and more 0s.
  • God capes are no longer being dropped by any monster (zamorak, saradomin and guthix cape). They will be re-added when they've become rarer.

I've also updated the client's ::multicore command. Please check it out and tell me by how much your fps rate increases! (::fpson / ::fpsoff)

Last but not least some information for the GE. As you all know, the Grand Exchange isn't an easy system. We've been testing it during the last few days to ensure that we find all possible bugs. So far, we've already found and successfully a duping bug. I hope you understand, that I can't release the GE without knowing for sure, that it doesn't contain any major issues! That's why it takes so long to get it into the live game.

All the best,
Thomy

Suggestions & Ideas / Buff crossbow/bolts
« on: April 08, 2015, 08:52:14 pm »
Crossbows and bolts are weak. They are slow and barely deal any damage for how slow they are. The only good thing about crossbows is that they're one handed and you can have a shield with it but that small extra defence bonus of a shield is not worth it at all when you look at the crappy damage of the crossbows.

My suggestion is to make crossbows w/ bolts stronger, this can be done by either buffing the crossbow speed, buffing the stats of the bolts or increasing the % chance of the effect proccing when using (e) bolts.

Please give me your opinions.

Update Notes / Security Batch #2
« on: April 06, 2015, 07:21:46 am »
Hey guys,

This is the final part of our security update, which gives the client and server's login communication a finishing touch. Username and password are now safely encrypted with a RSA key on the client's side. That means that it's impossible to sniff your password unless you crack a 4096 bit RSA key (which is proven to be secure as of today).

Besides, I've fixed alpha issues in the client. (that requires a restart!) Alpha made any transparent action in-game appear bugged. On top of that, I'm also applying another update that tries to fix the GWD respawning issue!

All the best,
Thomy

Update Notes / Security Batch #1
« on: April 04, 2015, 08:46:18 am »
Hey guys,

Due to the recent website hack, I've decided that we need more security features. As you've probably also already seen, the entire homepage runs under https now. Moreover, I'm changing the hash algorithm that is used in our database to ensure that even hacked passwords will be completely worthless. And that hackers in the future have no way of decrypting 'easy' passwords anymore. I've decided to use 'bcrypt', which is not vulnerable to rainbow attacks (= simple password hacking) and not vulnerable to bruteforcing (guessing until you have the password). The reason for that lies in the complexity of the algorithm, it would take years to bruteforce a password! With this update, the in-game and forum passwords will now also be 100% equal, they are no longer stored as 2 different values.

There will also be a Security Batch #2 in the near future, where I'll make the game client to server connection safer. My plan here is to use RSA for the username and password exchange.

Please note that it's still recommended to change your password here, if you haven't already done so.

All the best,
Thomy

****Entry is now closed.****

Go vote for your favorite here!
https://emps-world.net/forum/index.php?topic=9251.0

Hey guys,

I've been doing pretty well staking lately so I figured I'd share the love a bit.

So, I always see people complaining that they cant afford the good armor sets, etc. Well, i'm here to change that.

Here's how this will play out. Each player who wants to enter sends me a message on the forums telling me why they deserve a bandos set. 24 hours from now, the entry will be closed. I will then go through my messages and pick the top 5 answers. I will post another topic and place the five I chose in a vote. Each player will then go vote for their best response. Whoever has the most votes after 24 hours will win first place. If your answer is one of the 5 I select, you are guaranteed something.

****Update!****
It's too hard for me to pick just 5, so there are now 7 spots for winners! Also, every person who entered will get a consolation prize!

Here are the prizes:
1st: Bandos set
2nd: 3rd Age Mele Set
3rd: Amulet of Strength (t)
4th: Dragon Claws
5th: Full DH
6th: Cyan whip and DFS
7th: Abby Whip, Dragon Boots, DFS, Stone

Let me know if you have any questions! Good Luck!
