Roat Pkz Update - Elo Ranking System A brand new ELO system has been added in-game, this system is not meant to replace KDR but it's a much more accurate data point to see how good of a Pker you really are. This will also set apart the actual good pkers and KDR hunters. It also changes a lot, so even if you have a complete shit KDR such as 1000/2500, and all of sudden became as good of a pker as Smokey/Smackd or a high ranked player you could get you into top 50 while having under 1.0 KDR. Why an Elo System? Elo is a very popular rating system, first used in chess to rate players. It's currently being used by multiple online games to rank their players, including League Of Legends, Counter Strike, Starcraft and more. How is it different from KDR? Elo ranks you based on you and your opponents Elo, for example if I kill bad pkers 250 times I might have 250.0 KDR while another person could only fight the top 50 best pkers in-game and get 100 kills and 50 deaths and end up with a KDR of 2.0. The Elo system will rank player 2 a lot better even though he only has 2.0 KDR since he fought a lot harder opponents than the person with a 250.0 KDR. How do I increase my Elo ? It's fairly simple, the higher rated players you fight, the higher your Elo will raise. The lower rated players you fight the lower your elo will raise, if it does at all. When does my Elo lower ? If you lose a fight vs a player with higher Elo than you, your Elo will lower a small amount depending on how high the Elo difference is, sometimes you might not lose a point, however if you lose a fight vs a player that has a lower Elo than you, your Elo will drop more than if you lose against a better player. You can see a simple calculator here. Our K-factor is around 1-32 depending on a few situations. What does my Elo start off at ? Your Elo start at 1200 and goes up and down depending on your fights. You will not be able to see your Elo until you have at least 30 fights overall. Does my Elo get affected in FunPk, Duel or Tournaments ? No your Elo is not affected in the Duel Arena, Fun Pk or Tournaments, another reason why it's better than KDR. What is a K-factor and what is it set at ? A K-factor is basically a variable in the formula that makes sure than your Elo does not fluctuate a lot if you have a surprising loss or win vs a great or shit player. Usually this is set at 32, so your Elo can not raise or go down by 32 in a single fight. On Roat Pkz it will usually be at around 16 but depending on a few factors it can be lower, such as if you get rushed/rush someone. Elo Hiscores In-Game Elo Hiscores can be found on the table at Edge Bank. An Example of the current hiscores. I will add online ones very soon as well. ::KDR also displays your ranking against everyone, the lower the % the better you are If you have any questions about the Elo system please post them below and I'll try my best to reply.

Thank you very much for this topic, it helps a lot and gives me many many good ideas for the future. ITEM PRICE CHANGES SUGGESTIONS Before I reply to every suggestion I wanna say I don't agree with all item changes and making pkp methods 5-10x better while raising items 5-10x will result in same situation as we are in now ? But it's true for sure that many items do need item price changes. MAGE ARENA SUGGESTION Yes I agree with mage arena it should be better pkp hour and make kodai wand 'rare' again. We also have to add the timer so ur immune from their auto retaliate so u can't just afk 24/7 and no one can pj you there. BARROW MINIGAME SUGGESTION Yes I agree with barrows minigame, it would be great for new players who are just starting out and a decent money maker in safe zone. I also think barrow items do need a raise in price but I think your prices a bit 2 high. REMOVING BEARDED GORILLAS Removing them has always been on 'to-do' list until enough other money making methods are in-game, so I agree on that one. DEMONIC GORILLAS / SELLBACK SUGGESTION I am not comfortable changing the 30% sellback at pkp shop yet since it's one of our largest sinks atm, what I would wanna try is a trading post in-game and slap a 2-3% tax on every sale and see how large of a sink that'd be, if big enough I can reduce the shop %. A store where u can sell any item back for maybe 60-70% street value is also good. BLACK CHINS SUGGESTION I think this is a great idea and limiting combat level also very good. I do however think it should be linked to hunter skill and we should add hunter with skilling in-game, and instead of chinchompa points you'd either get 'skilling points' or chinchompas which u can sell back to skilling shop for skilling points. TOURNAMENT REVAMP SUGGESTION I disagree with making everyone have the same setup in tournaments, although that'd fix the rag problem in tournaments it'd overall not be as much fun. I think another solution must be found to fix it. More maps will also be coming to tournaments, probably 4-5, some will have hills & trees so u can tree hug and take advantage of that. Run will eventually matter in tournaments once agility & staminas are added so that would fix run/mage problem. I think that PKP atm is not bad as reward but maybe a new 'tournament points' or 'minigame points' should be applied to ppl who rank high. ELDER CHAOS DRUIDS SUGGESTION Yes great addition and good way to get elder chaos robes. DAGANNOTH KINGS SUGGESTION I think this is a great idea and could be good for novice people who are starting out. BURNING AMULET SUGGESTION Yes good addition. AMULET OF THE DAMMED Yes I think it's good idea but not so many bh points. DECORATIVE ARMOR I think it should rather be in the Minigame Shop. RUN ENERGY Yes this is much needed for the wilderness and would go in well with skilling as people could train agility and purchase stamina potions for skilling points. COOLDOWN TIMER FOR PK SPOTS Yes I will add the cooldowns shortly, probably within a week. TELEPORT CHANGE BEARDED GORILLAS -> CINCHOMPAS Yes this is a good replacement for the gorilla teleportl CHANGE HALOS FROM CW TO BH I think halos should still be in minigame shop as it would allow people who play minigames to make money by selling rewards to pkers. MAKE ALL SKILLCAPES UNTRADEABLE AND COST 99 PKP EA Maybe cheap but I think 99 a bit much. ANGLERFISH 20 PKP I think that price is way to high, people already complain that teletabs are way to expensive at 10 pkp ea. But I do think it should be more expensive. DARK CRAB / ANGLERFISH PRICES CHANGES I don't know if it's a good idea or not, and why make sharks the main food when manta ray would still be free and better? PVP ARMOR DEGRADION Yes, Smackd has told me that people would be interested in getting PVP armor back, so I'd like to poll that at sometime, if re-introduced I would make it degrade while in use. DRAGON HUNTER CROSSBOW 10% VS DRAGONS Dragon hunter crossbow already gives 10% accuracy vs dragons. MOVE ELDER ROBES TO PKP STORE Maybe in the future but for now we don't have that many items in the BH shop to begin with so I think it's good balance. ADD CORRECT OSRS DRAGONFIRE SPECIAL ATTACK Yes this is on the to-do list and would be good addition ADD LOTTING BAG Yes this is a good idea and should be added. ADD ANTIFIRE POTIONS Yes this is a good idea but 100 pkp sounds like a lot, maybe in the skilling shop ? MAKE ALL TELEPORT TABS 1 PKP EA I think 1 pkp is 2 little, tabs are already a good sink. GLORY TELEPORT IN COMBAT If you want glory to be able to teleport in combat it'd have to cost some PKP I think. REMOVE WESTS PKING ZONE Yes I think this is a good idea. ADD TELEPORT TO 35's I will be looking into a few teleports to add soon. FIX DRAGON SPEAR Yes this is on the to-do list. ADD ECTOPHIAL Seems like good idea, I'll have to look into it GENERAL STORE IN EDGEVILLE Yes not bad idea making these items 1 pkp ea. REMOVE TOURNAMENT LOCATION Yes I'll be adding 4-5 new maps soon so it shouldn't be an issue. ADD OSRS COLOR TO TELEPORTS Yes shouldn't be hard to change. ADD 100% ACTION MESSAGES FOR FOOD Yes not bad idea, I think should be toggleable in future as well cause it spams 2x more than roat currently does. FIX EQUIP TIMERS Although it use to be limited to 4 per tick because of packet firewall that has been fixed many months ago and is no longer an issue, the slight delay you notice when switching is because of the order the server sends ur client pakcets to process, I will look into this soon and attempt to re-order it so it feels smooth. I've sent an experimental client to few ppl and we found root issue about it. POISON SPIDER POISON YOU & COMBAT Yes this is good idea no harm. I will also have to look into that damage tick delay, I will also fix the location u spawn in and attempt to add the 1 min immunity. ITEM PRICES As said above I disagree with almost all item changes as it's way 2 expensive but I do agree that many items do need changing Thanks again for this great thread, I'll continue to read replies and see what ppl think.

are u sure that still happens, and ok I will check on spawntime, u talking about spawntime on demons only ?

What do u mean autistic？

Roat Pkz Updates! Hello fellow players, today I have an exciting update! Jad Pet, King Black Dragon Pet and Corporeal Beast Pet! PETS! Pets have finally arrived on Roat Pkz! As of now there are only 4 pets from these monsters, Jad, King Black Dragon, Corporeal Beast and Chaos Elemental. These pets are untradeable and always kept on death. The drop rates will be listed below and can also be seen in the drop table. Although we only have 4 pets right now, more will be added as more bosses come up, along with donation pets in the future (tradeable). Chaos Elemental Jr 1/1500 from Chaos Elemental Tzrek-Jad 1/150 from Jad Pet Dark Core 1/750 from Corporeal Beast Prince Black Dragon 1/1500 from King Black Dragon ------------------------------------- Clear Private Message History Added! You can now clear your private message history, just right click on the tab. Prayer Swaps You can now swap your rigour & augury prayers with ::swapprayer. Other Updates! You can no longer logout in the same tick as someone starts an attack on you. A warning has been added when you try to close your client while logged in. All new accounts automatically join the 'help' cc. Prayer icons not lighting up when you have the right level has been fixed. Teleblock now has the correct projectile (thing that flies in the air when cast) when it lands or not. Thanks and more to come!

Yes good idea, if anyone has any other ideas for infernal max cape implementation post it in here.

Roat Pkz Updates! Hey everyone, I've been working on an npc rework for the past week or 2. It includes a lot of neat features I'll list below. Pets will unfortunately be delayed a bit until I gather enough fight times to get a good estimate for the pet drop rate. Wilderness Monsters Almost all OSRS wilderness monsters have been added and all have working combat. These are mostly 'placeholder' monsters for now that really don't do anything apart from making the wilderness look more realistic. This includes over 600 new npc spawns. Monster Fight Times! All PVM monsters now have kill times which you can see after you get the kill, your personal best is only saved on good PVM monsters and only counts if you did more than 80% of the damage. NPC Random Walk / Wandering around When npcs walk around now they actually find a path to route and follow the path instead of just walking 1 tile in any direction. NPC Safe Spot Fix When you get out of the attacking range for the npc, the npc will now look for a path backwards that will force you to enter its attack range to continue attacking, this will stop people from "stalling" npcs or safe spotting. NPC Walking inside each other fix Npc's will no longer walk into each other or into other players, this also applies to larger npcs. NPC Data Updated! Almost all npcs now have correct max hit, levels, bonuses and attack speed with help from the wikia . The levels & bonuses will be used with the same formula PVP currently uses, so you can look at the wikia and see the bonuses and imagine a player with those levels/bonuses when you're fighting. This will also make npcs such as Corporeal Beast and Chaos Elemental feel just as strong as OSRS. NPC's added to new combat system! All npcs in-game are now in the 'new' npc combat system, it has a lot of flexibility and many neat things such as only being damaged once a projectile lands on you as seen above, it's mostly noticeable with npcs that use range or magic in combat. Royal Seed Pod Added! The Royal Seed Pod has been in-game for some time, but it's in the bounty hunter shop for 10,000 Points. It's untradeable and therefore kept for forever, it's basically a 1 click tele from <= 30 wild. Other Updates! - After killing an npc you can now instantly move onto the next one without being 'under attack'. - The Bandos Godsword now only uses 50% of your special attack. - Protection Prayers only reduce 2/3 of the damage donator npcs do. Thanks and more to come, also what do you think the average time to receive a pet should be ? Like how long would you have to spend at for example KBD before receiving a pet?

Yes mate sorry about the issue, I've added 4.6k back to ur account.

Those both are most likely related to the combat formula update we did earlier. Although its maybe exact same that OSRS uses we might adjust to better suit roat.

Roat Pkz Updates! Customisable XP Drops Hey friends, I have just updated XP drops in-game, it's now very customisable and easy to use, you can edit the xp bars position, xp drop size, speed and color. Click on 'Setup' to start your XP Drop Customisation! A Dialog Window will pop up This is the main interface to edit your XP drops. 1. Position (click on pic to expand) The Position is pretty straight forward, it's just where the XP Bar will be located on your screen. 2. Size (click on pic to expand) The size is how large the total xp text and the xp drops will be. 3. Speed (click on pic to expand) The speed is how quickly the xp drop will disappear. 4. Colors (click on pic to expand) You can pick between a few colors or set your own hex color, which gives you over 16 million color options! To select a custom hex color go to the last page of colors and hit 'Custom Color (hex)' then input any color you want (neat site to pick). Other Updates Armadyl Godsword accuracy has been fixed, from 25% -> 100% (100% = doubles your current accuracy). Risk Zone Double Deaths enabled and a 'immune' period after dying so you can loot double deaths. You now Auto-unfreeze at Edge PVP safe zone. ::getid command goes straight to the search interface. Thanks and more to come!!

tent has a 4 tick attack delay after your hit, which means your account will wait 4 ticks before starting the next hit so no matter how quickly u use mage on npc or player after doing melee attack it will wait until ur attack delay is over before starting next attack, if u can show me OSRS example gif to compare that would be great!

Hey mates, just a small update letting you know that I've updated all the combat formulas in-game, these are only the formulas that calculate if you actually hit on your player or not (accuracy), your current max hit will not be affected. I did a lot of tests on OSRS with bonuses & levels and I've gotten it so close that I was able to predict how often you would hit your opponent based on your levels/bonuses and your opponents level/bonuses within 2-4% range (out of 100+ hits sample), so I could set up a fight between 2 players with x levels and x bonuses and say player1 will hit player2 68% of the time and it'd always be very close. Although this should be very close to OSRS we can adjust it to make bonuses even more important than levels, which will make it more skill based (switches more important). Please let me know what you think, and thanks, Gretar

Roat Pkz Updates! Ancient Magic Improvements Barrage graphic now disappears when you start a new magic attack on your opponent. Raindrops now follow your opponent if it starts moving during an ancient magic attack (barrage & blitz)! Granite Maul Improvements! The granite maul attacks have been re-written and greatly improved, it's very close if not the same as OSRS right now. You can now insta spec on first hit and do the double special. You can also do very unique attack combinations such as the one below! (click for link) New Bounty Hunter Items Six new ornament kits have been added to the bounty hunter shop! Dropping rare items! You can now drop rare items in-game, you will first receive a confirmation dialog before dropping and then you can drop it! So you can host in-game drop parties now Server Support Improvements! Server Supports now have more power in-game, the temporary mute has gone from a max of 30 minutes to 60 minutes and they can now remove yells in-game (remove advertising)! Other Improvements! OSRS Swithces are now required at ::brid for the 'ultimate osrs experience' and more fair fights! ::muteyell has been added back! ::myrisk has been fixed at ::riskzone and ::meth, now shows your full risk. Jad spawn at level 47 has been moved deeper into wild. ::applyforyoutube and ::helpguide commands have been added! The freeze and hit on the same tick issue has been fixed (example b4) Fixed a Prayer Drain issue where prayers weren't being drained. Duel Arena Win/Lose windows now pop up a lot quicker than before. Thanks and more to come!

- Monthly PKP Payments, up to 5k per video depending on quality, capped at 20k per month. So you could get 0 PKP or up to 20K PKP, just depends on how many videos you upload and how much effort you put into them. Then PKP will automatically be added to your account at the start of each month.

Yes agree with many of u, we're still sorta experimenting with it, last YouTube rank we had so many complaints that it was too hard to get and people didn't feel 'motivated' to make videos for a month or 2 without a rank. So now we're handing out a lot and seeing how many keep posting or if a lot just stop uploading after the rank, the requirements will be adjusted based on how it goes. ppl get paid monthly not every time u upload.
