Update Notes / Re: Updates March 3rd 2019 - PvP Balancing, Surge Spells and Prayer Improvements!

« on: March 03, 2019, 01:19:11 pm »

• Invention skill: deconstruction of items to obtain materials that allow you to craft powerful utilities. These could aid you in combat, improve skilling, improve xp rates, etc.
• Construcion batch #2: dungeons & menagerie
• 3D sound engine
• Quick prayers
• Fully accessible Karamja: A quest that introduces Karamja including the jungle and Marim (Ape atoll). The map would be configured with new skilling activities and a fully accessible Karamja area.
• OSRS players & nps: This would update the visuals of your player and npcs (where possible!!) to look similar to OSRS characters. Having the same map is an impossible task, because of all the differences in positions. I'd basically have to rewrite the entire game to achieve that and I doubt that'll ever be worth the effort and time. What could be done is to introduce OSRS maps as new and separate areas. We'd have 2 versions of the GE, barbarian village, etc. However I feel like this would be really confusing and also unnecessary. I've already started this project a while ago, but stopped due to the amount of issues and bugs that occurred graphically and logically. Would this still be a thing?
• Fight kiln - a new single player minigame with 3 new capes as reward.

I've listed a few things that I've thought of recently and have been planned in the past. What are your thoughts on this? What would you like to see in the game this year? Not all things mentioned above require an equal amount of development time. I'm just interested in the rough direction updates should be going.

Out of these options I think Fight Kiln would be the one what I'd like to see the most.
Full Karamaja would be the second option what I'd like to see but imho Karamaja is too far away from anything and thus not really an ideal direction to expand to.

Something that's not here and could potentially be interesting is hard mode variants for some bosses such as godwars, kbd and nex.

Events / Varrock Museum Easter Egg

« on: March 03, 2019, 09:30:24 am »

Latest update also introduced further configurations to Varrock's museum.

There's an easter egg hidden in there as well. It's not that special but it's a nice, small fine detail. You will notice it when you trigger it.
First one to find this will win 1x Member ticket and 1x Double XP Scroll.

As a hint I'd say look at the cases and what items are in them. This easter egg can be triggered by doing a certain action, it may or may not require certain items as well.
There's also Pirates of the Caribbean reference hidden to one of the cases. There's no reward for finding this but post here if you found it.

I do not expect this to be an exciting event or interesting at all to many people and therefore there is no deadline. I will post another hint tomorrow in case nobody has found it.

Good luck.

Ps. Staff, Jandar & Eryn are excluded due to them being able to review the script.

Goals & Achievements / B0NK video

« on: February 23, 2019, 12:38:19 am »

Heyy, so I thought of making bank video for long time actually but before that, I wanted to get the last demon item, which was Demon Orb. So as you can assume, I got orb, so here's me b0nk. ( Actually got b2b orbs, hhhh. Wish I had filmed that :/ ).

And for the next goal... So what's left for me is pretty much Pernix and Torva armours. Like you noticed, I don't have any pieces of those. Right now my Nex kill count is a bit over 1200, so I feel like it will be a hard grind. Besides that, I'll be working on Completionist cape of course. I have to do 55 clues, unlock like 50~ songs and do 100 E-W and PC games. After I'll achieve that cape, I will camp at Nex a lot and do hard/elite clues for shards and those rare items.

@ava @wg
I did not say one bad word about your people. All I said was that you can gather 20 PKers in the blink of an eye yet you can't get one to give some feedback. Stop being so sensitive.

Now to the topic.

Healing:

Overloads are way too overpowered in PvP. You boost all your stats to 122 and can take a full inventory of brews with a couple of prayer potions/restores. Brewing while overloaded has no consequence and I feel that should take a huge nerf. Combo eating is cool, drinking potions aswell as brews while in combat should not delay you. The overload restore effect is the key here I suppose, nerf it super hard or even remove it - this makes you think twice while brewing since brewing forces you to drink a restore, brewing twice disables you from using spells and so on.

Melee:

Long story short melee is garbage at the moment. KO weapons such as claws and AGS are terrible, claws are buggy and AGS is so inaccurate it's a joke. Only way to get a KO while melee pking is through a lucky vengeance + dh axe/gladiator maul combo where you don't die yourself. You could still say melee beats ranged 1v1 even though melee KO weapons are super inconsistent while deep pking. Say you get a big bolt, switch to barrage and get a big barrage and go for the KO - claws sometimes get the work done, haven't got a single kill with AGS. AGS should perform well atleast against range gear - it doesn't.

Magic:

Tbh magic is in a good spot. High tier spells on normal spellbook wouldn't hurt, but aren't required since it's a utility spellbook and you can use rod or zuriel staff while on it.

Range:

Now this is the big issue here. Bolts are crazy good - javs are just strong. You can't fight a ranger without having to fear the random 80 bolt.  My last experience pking against range is losing literal BILLIONS to 75+ bolt KOs cause I don't want to be an asshole brewing on 75. Bolts have way too high strenght bonus, maybe even range overall. Also the overall defence of range is outclassing others. As I said in the original post you can tribrid a ranger not switching between protection prayers while protecting range and you get outdamaged - insane. Range and bolts need a strong nerf, slightly adjusting javs will do the trick. Currently the "utility" onyx bolt is the highest hitting bolt - this should be rhe ruby bolt which's special attack lets you hit high but punishes you with losing hitpoints. Currently the only way to beat range is bis melee gear and brewing on 75.

Drugs brought out the fact that prayer isn't draining quick enough - true. Enabling you to use one combat style at once and increasing the drain rates should be nice.
PvP armors that have the smite increase are nice and all, but have really low defence compared to other armors and you can't really smite anyone since you're taking too much damage. Could be ofcourse that the nerf of range also fixes this.


Probably said a couple things twice and forgot to mention a couple things.

After all I'd say don't go for a big update changing the whole scenario. Try small tweaks in small periods and see how things work out and I belive we could fix this.

Many thanks for this! I already had a few changes ready for the next patch that try to solve some PvP issues:

• Morrigan javelin special attack nerf: 125% initial damage instead of 135% and bleed is capped at 5 damage per tick.
• Eating guarantees 1.5s and brewing 0.5s attacking delay. Can keep eating or drinking potions, but your next attack will just be furtherly delayed.
• Overload effect restores less stats in PvP: Consecutive brew drinking will keep stats down longer.
• Reworked sapphire - diamond bolt effects.

How are enchanted bolts too strong? Do they proc too often? Currently they have a 20% chance to be applied. The OSRS wiki has much lower chances... more like 5-10%. Should we also lower that?

A lot of our equipment gives good prayer bonuses. That may be the reason for prayer not really going down. I could increase the base drain rates OR improve the smite effect?

Bolts are very consistent on top of their proc, and range gear has very high magic defence.
If you're taking the route of being able to keep 3 combat styles prayers on and the same time I would think increasing drain is better?
But at the sake of pvmers not losing their precious inventory spots for more restores I would just make it so putting on melee offensive prayer cancels range/mage offensive prayer if one is already on?

edit: And what Earl said above isn't that offensive imo, it's just true. After this update lithuanians would have most data about new update and can easily give feedback. I only pk on weekends and my aim for suggesting things is to keep stuff fresh in pking, but when you're behind suggesting some drastic changes and later it comes out that people don't like it but give 0 feedback you feel at fault.
As long as Thomy is willing to make updates to the game we can all give feedback every now and then.

The more complicated you make this game the more dumb the pking gets, in the good old scape you would have very limited mechanics with set limitations.
Void was one of the bis and was noticeably the best set for pking, in Emps it doesn't matter what gear you throw on you don't really feel the difference.
You can wear virtus or third age for pking, it doesn't make any noticeable difference.

Alot of new items just eventually become part of the grey mass and one or two items become a meta of rng(and easiest rng at that, there's tons of complicated combos you can do but it's not worth it).

Best range combo in scape: Dbow to gmaul - skill level 7-8
Best range combo in world: Javelin spec - skill level 1

Efficient mage options in scape: Boots, ring, ammy max mage switch for when youre maging.
Efficient mage options in world: 3rd-range with onyx bolts (this is not a joke)

Melee pking in scape: Simple and fun
Melee pking in world: Complicated but fun

Things that ruin pking: (ask me for an explanation why if you're curious, cbf write an essay)

• Pures being able to keep all 3 combat style prayers on at the same time/mains can do same with lower tier prayer
  Spirit shield special attacks
  Brewing not being punished and players adopting their eating habits from watching My 600lb Life
  Onyx/dragon bolts are way too overpowered
  Magic is suppose to be more armour orienated
  Lack of intuition why to pick x item over y, to me they all feel the same (virtus,third mage..)
  1 prayer point drains once every blue moon

Note/ Actually eating would be kind of cool (because you can hit alot too) if people just stopped brewing when their enemy has 0 k0 potential / but they dont

Let's be fair here. Lithuanian clan is decent,because we have alot of players in our clan, Most Of us know how to fight in wilderness,we are not afraid to fight clan VS clan or 1v1 and so on. Of course we have players who hate us, because get killed in wild while pvming or just in unfair fight 1 VS 3 or so, BUT wilderness is dangerous place and by entering there u accept that fact that u can be killed by One, two or few people. Most Of players don't understand that or just don't want to and thats not our problem. I got killed many times in wild and I understand what can happen if I enter to The wilderness. I don't see a point to hate us for no reason or because you are angry abou that u got killed.
Peace and love from Lithuanian Clan 😘
