Hello everyone, I got a cool idea that I think would motivate people to pvm more. I was thinking to implement a system where if a player reaches a certain kill count for a specific monster their loot chance will increase by a certain percentage for that monster only. I've seen people get hundreds of kills and still come out dry, this should fix this issue.

For example

100 kills = 2% loot increase
200 kills = 4% loot increase
300 kills - 6% loot increase

Once a rare drop is obtained, the loot increase bonus will reset.

Please share your opinions, I would love to hear what you guys think.

not a bad idea BUT if there is a drop that it has 0.1% a chance of getting increasing that to 2.1% as u suggested will ruin the pvm, u'll have 2 many "rare drops" that will become worthless and the economy will got rekt.

It is called a 'rare' drop for a reason

Ya, I understand what you guys are saying, but I have seen something like this in some popular servers and it seems to be pretty neat to have. The purpose of this is to just increase a player's loot chance slightly, it's not like you're guaranteed a rare. We can even make it after every 1000 kills, that way player is rewarded for his effort.

Say for example, a rare is 0.1% the bonus will make it 0.2% for extremely rare drops.

this can work, but only up to 0.2% max for the rare drops that have 0.1% (doubling) and only if it will get rested to normal after getting a drop.

we can suggest all day, but idk if something like this worth the time of coding

I'll quote Thomy from Discord:


Double drops were thought out loud as a possible "special" weekend activity as opposed to double xp weekend. But it's just an idea so nothing guaranteed.

then maybe it's time to get ring of wealth back in the game and make it increasing the loot chances as it should be.

It never did that and also didn't work like that in RS. You can't just 'increase' the loot chance for every drop, you'd have to specify that manually. A perfectly random system consists of randomness, which includes drops being lucky and unlucky. The game is designed around creating random values for drops, hits, skills, etc.

im sure u can work that out :kappa:

sure why not its not like the market is flooded or something anyways

reset game 

Got 800 nex kills dry right now with 3.9k killcount. any newbie that teams up with me get the rare loots while i waste my supplies making others rich

Just because X player gets unlucky at Y boss it doesn't mean the whole economy should get littered with items that nobody buys even now.

The thing is there's nothing left to fight for anymore at this game. It's too easy and players get bored way faster.
newcomers receive loots much earlier than actual drop rate suggests while grinders reach x4 the kill counts of actual drop rate and still don't receive anything.
beginners should have a little bit more struggle and the big boys should be more rewarded.

I've seen this before: Guy plays 1-2 months, starts nexing, 2 weeks later he has pretty much everything he wants, but guess what... he quits because game is now boring..

Alugis has a point there. Unless there is something more besides getting maxed in experience, all ing items, maxed Ironman or at least main there is nothing else to go for. Thomy focuses on HD quality of water... Like any pixel on that water gives a shit about newcomers. This doesn't mean whatsoever that Thomy isn't doing amazing job keeping server alive but eventually person who has scheduled and planned everything precisely (almost) perfect - he has nothing to do ing unless updates bring yet another new boring boss along with some harder mechanics than most of GWD Bosses.

I suppose I apologize since I went a lot off-topic here and it should have been discussed long time ago...

Either way, for suggestion - I agree but seeing as Thomy is solo developer to implement it I don't expect it to be very soon(even if it gets added at all)
