Title: Updates - August 7th 2016 - Ancient Caves
Post by: Thomy on August 02, 2016, 05:10:58 am
Hey guys,

Ancient Cave
It's finally there, our brand new dungeon with new and unique items. The dungeon's entrance is located at the western coast of Rimmington.
(https://emps-world.net/img/updates/ancient_cave_release.17744.jpg)
You'll be able to obtain 6 new items, all requiring level 80 in at least one combat skill. You'll find a set of new and uniquely combined stats with these new items. The requirement to enter the ancient caves is level 30 Agility and membership. Good luck on your killing trips!

Bosses and NPCs
I'm still not pleased with the current state of emps' bosses and other npcs. Due to the changes of the protection prayers, some bosses are still really strong. I'm therefore decreasing NPC's overall accuracy values to make higher level armours more valuable. I definitely want high level armours to be strong and good in PvM situations.

Dropped Items
Items dropped by players, monsters, etc. are now shown for a maximum of 2 minutes. When a player drops an item somewhere, it's shown privately for 1 minute and another minute publicly. The change was made to reduce the amount of junk that's constantly dropped in populated areas and to reduce the time a player has to retrieve back lost items upon a death.

Other changes and bugfixes:
All the best,
Thomy

all you need to do is remove GA from EP shop and add them to EC shop. 1 donation = 3 GAs.

Then items will get out of the game for sure :)


EDIT: Maybe the increased crystal drop rate was abit too high.. So many of them are in the game that nobody is buying any. Maybe you could tweak crystals abit that they always the crystal will be lost when the weapon degrades and that it lasts longer when used against npcs.

PvP: 3 hits "used" per attack
PvM: 1 hit "used" per attack

At the moment crystals are only used for elemental whips which are only used in duel arena or high risk fights in wilderness. Elemental staff and bow have no use at all.

That's the current situation...? The EC shop sells GA tickets for 200EC each.

How do you get into this dungeon? Same way as on runescape by jumping into the whirlpool at Barbarian Outpost?

But god bows were already shit ???

You need to make elemental weaponry much less expensive to use, they're simply not worth using.

When losing a GA ticket should be a minimum  time untill you can use onther one, which can be usefull for the dropped items update.

Good job Thomy, thanks for the update.

Thanks guys! We might still tweak minor things of the new items. Giving them a little bit or less strength / accuracy bonuses. Gotta make sure they fit into everything and don't kill old content. :)

Hey!

I just want's to ask about why is all new uptades only for member? Monsters, caves etc..
I know that you guys are just trying to get people to buy member ship and donate to the game for getting money and more. Is it all what you are thinking about? Money? Do something for all members, not only for members. And so you all know im not going to donate something to this game. Not even buying member ticket anymore.

Thanks //Thunder

You should have a look at this (https://emps-world.net/forum/index.php?topic=15956.0).
The majority of people agreed that we need more member features.

Is it all what you are thinking about? Money? Do something for all members, not only for members.

See if you think about it, technically everything you can do in this game without being a member is a feature to all of the players.
Think about it.

Plus, you don't even have to donate to become a member, use your brain a little bit.

Looking at the garbage drops, these should be available for everyone.

ill take a look at the drops and spawns next week, cuz honestly thomy's drops and spawns suck 9 out of 10 times (no offense thomy i still love you but youre just better at hardcoding stuff than doing the boring configs :) ). same for a couple items cuz i dont think ice shield is viable atm + gladiators have a much longer walk route than the other two

Ice shield is viable, anyone stating otherwise doesn't know how to use it.

I kinda wish it was a hybrid shield so it had some ranged and melee attack bonus as well but oh well. It's definitely one of the best, if not the best item of all the 6.
