Suggestions & Ideas / Daily login rewards (Daily events)

« on: August 07, 2015, 09:49:37 pm »

To keep people playing regularily I came up with an idea, and it immediately also includes the now relatively obsolete Event Points: Daily rewards for when you log in (very similar to the daily tasks system rs3 has).

Lots of games already implemented some mechanic or other that refers to this, but this one will not include a direct reward for logging in: you have to keep playing that day to earn it. Don't worry, it won't take hours to complete the bonus, it is aimed to give people a small purpose that they can do everyday, and they will be rewarded for doing it. Don't wanna do it? No worries, you won't lose out that much other than a bit of xp and event points for cosmetics/double xp scrolls.

Rules are as followed: Every player that signs in every day or exactly 24 hours or more after their last login, receive a notification. This notification explains what bonus you get for logging in that day, what you need to do, and what you get for completing it.

Example:




Variations in mechanics

1. The timer resets at 00:00 GMT everynight, if you are offline, allowing players to get their login reward instantly after 00:00, or twice in a row quickly. The timer will not run out if you have not logged out before and during 00:00.

2. The timer resets exactly 24:00 hours after your last login reward. This allows for a more evenly distribution and more opportunity and exactly 24h to complete your daily event, but if you log in at 5 pm the first time, you will have to log in next day after 5PM to receive your daily event, stacking up to later and later everyday.

3. Besides the popup and the reminders in your chatbox, there could be a npc to track your daily event at the Grand exchange, and you can collect your reward there. The reward could also be automatically completed and received, as you do not need any inventory space, just a notification in your chatbox saying you completed it and gained your rewards.


Variations in Daily events

Daily events can consist out of the following things (amounts and tasks will be matched with your combat and skill levels on certain instances):

• Bonus experience for a number of XP gaining instances of all skills: the next 200 logs give 50% extra, the next 200 items crafted will grant 50% extra, etc. Lower numbers if the level of a skill is lower (e.g. level <50 woodcutting only gives bonus xp for 50 logs).
• Bonus tickets for playing selected minigames (might be annoying, not all minigames are active everyday)
• Kill a number of a monster (matches your combat level with that of the target(s).)
• Kill a number of slayer monsters you are capable to kill (triggers on accounts with membership and slayer levels)
• Player killing (triggered for accounts with 1 defence and higher than average cb)
• Creating or obtaining a number of a selected item (you are 99 smithing and get a task to make 20 rune platebodies/you have to collect 20 blue dragon scales, etc). For the skills smithing, fletching, cooking, crafting, farming, runecrafting. These tasks are smaller but harder to complete, for higher levels, and grant more experience than regular 'do this skill'  tasks.
• Complete certain instances in the Warrior's guild a number of times

Variations in rewards

1. You will not get your bonus experience instantly, but after you complete the daily event. This will push people to complete their daily event, but they will return completely empty handed if they are unable to complete the daily event before the day ends. (you cut 190 logs, you don't get any xp but you couldnt get to 200 to complete it for the full bonus).
It will feel more rewarding however to complete it, as you get a whole batch of XP in one go rather than a little bit of XP with every instance you complete.

2. Your bonus experience can be a flat bonus or a percentage bonus. A percentage (e.g. extra 50% smithing xp on top of 200 xp granted for smithing a rune bar) will encourage players to complete the highest xp gaining instances (smith rune instead of bronze), whereas a flat amount is easier but can be unbalanced (flat xp is more acceptable for players who are not really willing to spend time to complete the daily event). Flat is easier to make, especially when it is combined into a end reward rather than a xp reward with every xp instance you get. It will have to be balanced on skill level.

3. You will get increasingly more rewards when you complete your daily events everyday in a row. For example: you gain 10 EP instead of 1EP for the next daily event you complete, if you completed 10 daily events in a row. This will drive people to log in and play everyday to receive as much rewards possible and build their account.

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Clan Chat Moderations

« on: July 18, 2015, 08:59:51 pm »

If I remember correctly back when I was playing staff members could /kick themselves from the clan chat and still remain within it. I did this quite a lot, however I'm not sure if it still works but it did also remove the username from the main list.

Could any of the staff members confirm?

Yes staff members can still kick people out of clans with the /kick [username] code.

Back to the topic.
I think it isn't really needed. Exactly what charr said, if they will start using offensive language again when the staff member is gone, make a screenshot and post it at the helpdesk section.

Did you even read what I posted?

Ameer122 idc if you believe or not its ur opinion

LMAO, you misunderstood Ameer, he told the guy who was asking about the kind of language that Pure Viq (the guy who PM'd you) is speaking and it is Arabic.
Ameer - as an arabian player - prefers not to translate what he was messaging you because it contains an offensive language. That's it.

Ahh.. powerful minds understanding abilities nowadays

Ameer actually told him that he doesn't believe it.

http://prntscr.com/7obnok

what language it is? arab?

Trust me , it's not a good idea to know what was he saying -_-.

Congratz even tho I don't believe you about dis xD.

I meant the arabic stuffs.

You're the one who misunderstood. Now jog on before you make yourself look more like an idiot.

Suggestions & Ideas / Ironman mode

« on: June 28, 2015, 11:58:41 am »

Probably been suggested before, but this will be an specified suggestion about it. Pretty much everyone knows what an ironman is or have an account for that.

An ironman is an account that does not receive help from anyone else, and has to do everything himself (with the exception of some multiplayer minigames). You will need to set your ironman status on Tutorial island, and this mode cannot be reverted!
Ironman accounts will receive a specific item (and maybe a symbol next to their name) to be able to display their status to other players.

This mode poses a new challenge to players that know the game throughoutly and strive to gain a significant spot of honour in the highscores for ironman. This would be a seperate highscore tab specifically for ironmen that shows the total level and total xp of all ironman players. Their individual stat levels are shown as normal in the rest of the highscores.


The rules:
An ironman account can not trade with other players (this also includes member rings: if you need membership on your ironman account you will need to donate for donator points);
An ironman account can not see the monster loot of other players;
An ironman account can not see the drops of other players;
An ironman account can not receive aid from other players (the aid on button is disabled), such as tele-other, vengeance-other and cure other;
An ironman account can not receive combat buffs from released butterflies by other players;
An ironman account can not participate in PvP situations where he might gain loot or experience by killing another player;
An ironman account can not participate in the duel arena;
An ironman account can not obtain loot from the Falador Party room;
An ironman account can not buy player items from stores such as the General store, he is only allowed to buy items that are normally in stock;
An ironman account can not buy a guardian angel.
An ironman account will not receive slayer experience from killing a monster if anyone else tagged it with damage (so not just more than 50% damage);
An ironman account will not receive items from admin-hosted events (as game and high administrators may trade through all trade restrictions).
An ironman account will lose all his items upon death;

Allowed:
An ironman account is allowed to participate in minigames such as Castle wars and Pest control, but does not gain combat experience playing it. He can however, gain rewards from it;
An ironman account is allowed to combat bosses or whatever monsters in a group, but will be unable to share his loot, or others to share loot with him;
An ironman account is allowed to use the rope down to the kalphite lair if applied by another player;


There's also been an ultimate ironman mode around that once you DIE ingame, outside a safe death zone (minigames, etc) your death will be PERMANENT. The challenge is to see who would come furthest. The rules would be the same for the rest, but you are not allowed to buy a Guardian angel for your ultimate Ironman account. I think this would also be cool to add, but that means we need another new highscores tab for this type of ironman. Also, this mode might be prone to griefing, as a hacker or anyone else quickly able to access your account could grief it by dying, disabling your account permanently.


Feedback on the rules please, and check for loopholes!

Dear Soulcist (James Hernandez),

I had a fun time reading your introduction, I hope you enjoy your stay here on Emps. If you need anything you can catch me in-game. From what i've seen you are really well spoken. I enjoy people who can speak properly! I really hope you enjoy your stay!

All the best,
Austen

Thank you! I've seen a lot of nice people on the server and site. I'm pretty sure I'm enjoying it already.

That was a joy to read, it's nice to have a new asset to the game! Are you by any chance from Soulsplit (soulsplit is shutting down for the people that don't know yet)

No lol, I am the former second owner of Ikov and was the last RSPS I played before I took a long needed break from RSPS besides being a little active on MoparScape. I could never get into S-S and interesting to find out that they're closing down their servers now. I never could stand the owner and its community (at least the few people I had came across for the little and I mean little amount of time I bothered to remain there).

I am impressed, former owner of Ikov.

Thanks... I suppose.
