Hey guys,
Today I'm presenting you minigame changes. We've tried to think of what could bring more popularity to CW and PC, because they used to be really popular. I'm therefore presenting you some changes:
- WildyWyrm HP nerfed from 761 to 307. To cope with that enormous nerf, I've made its good drops rarer. Dragon claw drop rate was moved from 2% to 1.5%.
- Kalphite queen 1st form HP nerfed from 350 to 291
- Kalphite queen 2nd form HP nerfed from 295 to 259
- Castle-Wars changes:
- Picking up your own team's flag now instantly puts it back to your castle. You're no longer able to hide your team's flag from the enemy team.
- Killing other players now rewards you with tickets too. Every 5th kill gives you 1 additional ticket.
- Scoring the team a flag point now gives you an additional ticket too.
- A CW game can now take up to a maximum of 15 minutes. If one team scores 5 points, the game also ends.
- Pest Control changes:
- Shielded portals are now marked in the Pest Control main interface. Their health is cyan.
- Portals lose their shields in a 40 seconds cycle now instead of a 60 seconds cycle.
- Lobby timer reduced to 30 seconds from 60.
- Korasi's sword added. It requires level 70 Attack to equip and has a nice special attack.
(https://emps-world.net/img/updates/korasi.jpg) - Maximum PC game round time changed to 10 minutes (down from 15).
- Overall monster defence levels reduced.
- Portal defence reduced to 60 (down from 200). To cope with that, they have their HP doubled to 500. Portal's HP increase with every additional 5 players in the minigame. Their HP are capped at 1000.
- Doors at PC now remain open or closed. They don't automatically close anymore.
- Rewarding system changed. You now need to hit at least 50 in total to gain tickets. You gain up to 250 tickets, where 50 are guaranteed and 200 come from your damage dealt. 10% of the damage you dealt is turned into tickets. So having hit a total of 2.000 results in 200 tickets. With a double XP scroll you can gain up to 500 tickets instead of 250. The ring of vigour always gives you 20% more tickets and is not capped!
- We've also decided to make some items tradeable. The idea behind this is, that we would like to offer people a way to earn money by playing minigames. So that they are not effectively 'wasting' their time by doing so. Anyway, here's the list:
- All void knight items.
- Fighter torso
- All defenders
- Dharok's axe attack speed reduced to 3.5 seconds (originally was 4 seconds)
- Comp ogre bow attack speed reduced to 4 seconds (originally 4.5 seconds)
- Poison chances increased to 50%, they were 25%. Special attacks have a 100% poison chance now.
- Morrigan javelins can now be poisoned.
- Blood spells buffed, they now heal 5% more.
P.S. The next update will be about a new beginning for new players and hopefully an open beta version of the GE (that highly depends on how bugfree it's after our tests!!).
All the best,
Thomy

A new start? renders my vid series almost useless?

New introduction into the game. Maybe edit the tutorial and show people around the actual game. It's not gonna make your series useless! People will still start in Barbarian Village. We only plan to give them more guidance.
-

-

Okay, sweet as!!

Great updates, thanks!
-
Nice work 8) 8)!! But when void sets, defenders... will go to price list in wiki? Will you put prices or it depends on the people?
-
Nice work, this actually might revive minigames! Thank you for your effort.

Players control the economy.
-
Sell void set
-
Tradable untradables, absolutely LOVE it. It's original and it brings more activity to minigames.
Pest should see a LOT more activity now.
-
Id remove the 1 ticket per 5 kills since one can open 2 clients, have a level 3 acc on the other team. He kills him, waits infront of the enemy portal and repeat..
OT: Nice updates, Thomy :)
-
Wait where do you get the Korasi from? PC?
AND I HAVE 3 DOSES LEFT OF THE CAPS POTION
-
Oh mai gad :o Definetly go to pest control now
-
So uhm... is Korasi also tradable?
-
This will be great, now pest control will get overpopulated.
It might bring us some more players, the fact that everyone can get items like void
and pk them and so on will just make PvP´ing more fun.
I think it´s time to move on with a new start for newcomers logging in for the first time.
This will be neat. Another great update!
-
Sell void set
i take it for 5m
-
Damnn, great updates thomy!
Goodluck with making GE bugfree
-
Awesome news Thomy, thanks a lot!
-
Adding that powerful sword to pc is not a good idea.
I think it would be better if you move it to Chaos Elemental.
-
Great job, Thomy!
-
Since void is traceable shouldn't it prices get lowered? It will make pking and emps alive! I"d like to pk in void :)
-
More great updates thomy, thank you, heres hoping more people want to play miniganes and get them busy again!
-
Awesome updates Thomy, thanks! :)
-

Would it be possible for people to just afk pest control then? Just stand in the boat and get default 50 tickets?

You need to deal at least 50 damage to get any tickets.

Throwing out assumptions like that on the day of release isn't smart. Don't do that. Things will always balance themselves out, it's a rule of nature.

well here's the thing...
so many people already have several sets of void and are selling them at any price they want, and overseeing the stats, it would make more sense if it was purely for pk; likewise lost and not looted upon death. As it would be used far more frequently than bandos and cheaper... it would mean that bandos and other god armours are to be solely to be sold for pvm and skyrocket their prices. Thereafter causing the eco to shift once again to hoarding players... thus causing inflation (low supply/high demand).

yay easiest way to make max 5m per set of void...
Bandos is a better armor set in general. Training slayer in Void or going to Smoke Demon Champion is just stupid wearing void, the latter is pretty much impossible without dying. Solo GWD is also much more efficient with armor set that has defence bonus.
People will get tired of PC soon and things will return to normal.

Thomy why zs swipe is changed plss..

Thanks Thomy. ::)

That's a conversative econ mindset while the keynesian theory states that there will be stagflation once everything "returns to normal" these prices are sticky causing the rachet effect[(output=same) + (price=increased) =stagflation due to low supply]. Thereafter, lets assume that there is people using it solely for pk and not pvm (disregarding raids of multiple low levels to GWD or anything of the like..); the "older" pvp armours/ ancients are going to be rendered useless as there is less risk in getting void + the few people that will have an over abundance of void sets will begin to cause a pull on eco to themselves while demand for regular god armors will continue to rise and to the point were no one will be interested in them. Since there is void, a cheaper and faster source of highly demanded armor.
TL;DR... there will so many strains prior to the release of the G.E. that will then cause the current few hoarding players to manipulate their monopolies even further until there will no sense as to what the real price is for anything, thanks to inexorable inflation.

There are a lot of people using all three types of armor: GWD, Void and PvP sets. Each set have their pros and cons, so all of them will be used. It is impossible to predict the final impact on economy, if Thomy keeps updating the game at this rate.

Too many successive economic updates such as this one, will not be good... If it continues... All I have left to say is that: Have fun trying to recover from a hyperinflated eco.

''In economics, inflation is a sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time.''
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation
We are not suffering from inflation if prices of everything are going down the drain. Next time you use the economy excuse, get your facts right.
