I've recently just joined this server, been really impressed with the completeness of the server aside from some bugs/glitches I have found in this short time. In this time I noticed that the experience rates are super slow, which I find to be a problem. You might say "your not supposed to get 99's in 30 minutes," and I would say I completely agree with you. Currently for some skills I was on pace with the same experience rates that I manage to get in Oldschool Runescape, for example fletching. I don't think that experience rates on private servers should be insanely fast, but this is way to slow. After playing RSPS's for about Five + years, slow experience rates are constantly a problem to servers and from my experience they had smaller player bases. I think there is room to decide what they would be changed too, but I personally think that they should be at least doubled. Along with a change in experience rates I think that hosting double experience/double drop weekends is also a nice incentive to get players online during the weekends. I'd appreciate it if you would respond to the poll with your personal opinion, and then maybe leave a reasoning behind why you chose what you did. Thanks for your time, -Win All Day
I understand your points, but i do not agree with you. The rates are decent now, and the server is eco. The balance is perfect in my opinion currently
Aight, looking forward for peeps there decision on this. I would like to tweak some xp rates but not double them. If you would like one or two skills to be raised pleas post this here too, like fletching then I could look into them myself and see how hard it is.
Ive actually done a bit of fletching since i saw this post. If just a few skills were tweaked, that might be fine. If that were the case, id say tweak fletch and prayer boost by just another few % (5/20). I will be testing other skills xp rates and give you an update on more of my opinion.
I think the experience rates are fine, may there's a few skills which could do with a little increase
To be honest this is a RSPS and nobody like's grinding in my opinion maybe increasing it would be a good job since atm its really slow and if people wanted to grind i'd suggest to play osrs instead.
I could not agree more, RSPS's are meant to speed up Runescape because people play them to avoid the grind and get to end game content sooner.
How much easier do you want an rsps? There still has to be a reason to play. You can achieve 1-3 99s. A DAY on Sardior. I see what yall mean. But an eco means a competetive gameplay as long. Maxing out still should be an achievement. I mean? But some of the skills should be buffed but only by a bit. - this just how i feel about it.
Great, you like grinding but mate, no offense a day on Alora can get you 12x 99s you know what i mean? why would players play this if there are more populated RSPSES out there with more content & better XP rates we need to compete against them and if we don't change anything i doubt this will get far
Because thats ALORA. But thats not aloud in discussion. 12 99s in a day, thats maxed in 2 days. Not everyone wants that. But regardless of the fact, this is my decision. But i can bare with whatever is decided.
I understand all your points but I also think if the rates get changed , they shouldn't be changed alot. Yes a RSPS is supposed to get you to end game quicker, but you don't need skills to reach end game content, therefor I like skills being hard so that people who are willing to grind for it have a sence of accomplishment when they reach the desired 99. Maybe add a poll saying to increase certain low exp rates a bit?
Yes you do need skills as an ironman and as an ironman the endgame content is important so if we are getting tooslow people will jus tplaye runescape instead of this and thats what we need to not let happen.
Hmm, fair point for ironmen I didn't think of that.. Another solution could be adding more skilling supplies to the ironman store? This way you can get to endgame faster and the sence of achievement would still be there. Idk if this is something people would want tho
the exp rates are cool; makes the challenge bring it if this was pvp server i would agree with you, However nice suggestion
