    Lizardman Shaman Improvements
    Lizardman Shaman Improvements

    This week we have a number of balancing tweaks to content such as the Preserve prayer, Brutal Black
    Dragons and Elite clue scrolls, as well as a brand new Lizardman Shaman cave!

    Task-Only Lizardman Shaman

    A cave containing 8 Lizardman Shamans can now be found on the northern end of the Lizardman Settlement.

    The Lizardman Shaman found within can only be killed when on a Lizardman Slayer assignment and with 100% Shayzien favour.

    As was mentioned in the developer blog for poll 54, the 2 Shaman spawns found within the Lizardman Settlement have now been removed. Also, the safespots in the Lizardman Shaman area of the Lizardman Canyon have been removed.

    Brutal Black Dragon Changes

    Brutal Black Dragons and their combination of great profit, ease of access and simple combat mechanicshas been a common talking point in recent times. Many of you believed these dragons much too easy to farm for a piece of content with no requirements.

    Well, we agreed! As such, we've now added a level 77 Slayer requirement in order to kill Brutal Black Dragons.

    In addition to this, we have now removed the Dragon full helm from their drop table.

    Master Scroll Book

    The Master Scroll Book is now available as a rare reward from all tiers of clue scroll. It is tradeable, so it can also be purchased from other players.

    You can store up to 1,000 of each type of teleport scroll within the book. This includes all scrolls received as rewards from treasure trails, as well as Zul-andra and Key master teleport scrolls.

    When charged with any number of scrolls, the book is untradeable. It will become tradeable once again when it is emptied, which can be done easily with the 'Remove' option.

    With scrolls stored in the
    book you can select a default teleport. This sets the left-click option of the book to use that teleport immediately.

    Elite Clue Scroll Steps


    Between hard clue scrolls and elite cluescrolls there is a substanital jump in the number of steps required to complete a Treasure Trail. To bring the elite tier of clue scrolls into line with the others, the maximum steps of an elite clue scroll has been reduced from 9 - 12 to 5 - 7.

    Elites are now sat between the length of hard clues and master clues - where they belong.

    Preserve Improvements


    The Preserve prayer has now been improved to make the prayer a bit more useful:
     
    • Boosted stats now last 50% longer when Preserve is active, rather than the original 20%.
    • The prayer point drain rate when using Preserve has been decreased from 5 points per minute to 3 points per minute.

    5. You have to report at least 4-5 cheaters from the server you are applying for on the forums

     

    9. You can not apply for a position if you are currently admin on another server (double clanning).

    • We seek Members who will prioritize gflclan. over other communities.
    • We will not accept "Oh yeah I can split my time between both clans" for an answer.

     

    For #5, it depends on the server and divisions. Requirements all over the servers would cause no admins to be applied. 

     

    For #9, there is no such thing double clanning rule in GFL, and it should not be. There are multiple reasons behind this, and we have multiple admins who are already doing this. You just have to balance your time between servers.

    What reasoning do you refer to? The skepticism being used? Because if so, I don't understand why you're responding negatively.

    All I'm saying is that we don't have what it takes to build up Minecraft. What we need is to have developers, and dedicated builders. We would also need right management and team. It's just more than this reasoning you've stated. We tried this so many times, and it lacks support. Believe me, right now, if you were to do this, it wouldn't last long enough.

    I also hate hearing this shit about a "queue". What fucking queue? Why isn't this public either? Why am I hearing about a queue and not seeing any actual new full divisions being made?

    We have things that are being worked on, and they are a high priority. Building up to get division created doesn't take a week. It takes more.

    We've waited and waited. I'm tired of waiting. Fuck waiting. We lack developers probably because we don't even have a more simple way for developers to apply. We have to go straight to a division leader and wait for a response. Not very productive now is it?

     

     
     

    Waiting will work - have some patience. We're waiting on something big that'd help GFL for a long while.

    I've recently suggested bringing back the minecraft division after it's been shut down for god knows what reason (prolly SoJa) and people are shooting it down for the same fucking bullshit.

    You don't understand how this works, do you? 

     

    Yes, this reasoning is flaw, but you have to know that staff team would just have to discuss about this. If it gets approved, it will be in queue to be up and prepared in near future. 

     

    I would normally be with you to have it up, but we just need to wait. Right now, we don't have what it requires. We lack developers, and I don't believe that we have a builders.

     

    Although, other than that, I'll have to agree with you.  Reasoning for that is flawed and should be revisited by stating three reasons or more. 

  6. I'm mixed on this. 

     

    Yes, we've tried in the past, but that doesn't mean anything. We had lack of support with minecraft, and last time we've had it, the server was revealed too much early. 

     

    But then again, we don't even have anything yet for the server. We need developers and dedicated builders. Everything these day will charge for money. We don't have anything required for MC. It takes more than that. I'm mixed, as I've said. It will need to be decided by staff team members about this, as I would assume. 

     

    We have enough equipment to host the server, but we don't have what it needs.
