    I don't play anymore but logged on forums to +1.

    We have had our disagreements but generally you are very helpful and know the game like the back of your hand. I haven't played for a while but when I did you helped the noobies over yell and cc.

    Obviously you were staff in the past and from what I've heard you made bad decisions at the end but everyone can learn from them and move forward.

    I have faith you can kick the staff team into shape to be half decent to what it is currently.

    P.s, create some quality mythic & Pvm content and I might make a swift return.

    Best of luck,

    IGN.

    Little late to officially comment but fantastic thread, @Respire! Great to see the community taking initiative and making fantastic forum suggestion threads as a joint community between all the different types of PvP oriented players and others who aren't classified as PKers but a lot of these suggestions can still pertain to them.

    Would like to first point out that these items of controversy were made in much simpler times on SPK where we did not have as many untradables and overpowered items as we currently do. As any game, MMORPG's in particular you can expect buffs/nerfs/balances at any given update to adjust items as need be and a lot of the points you mentioned should of been addressed in some form currently since initial release of said items.

    1. Death pet and variants = Make these pets not able to be dropped while inside the wilderness and only outside.

    • Must come inside the wilderness with one down and not be able to drop them whatsoever regardless of activity/combat,etc.
      • Exceptions can be made for instanced areas in the wilderness such as inside the skotizo portal.
    • Shade Genie fix while skulled: Since shade genie keeps +2 while skulled for a total of three while skulled, taking @IGN's suggestion, if you are skulled but get smited with shade genie you will lose your second highest valued item and obviously your 3rd if you don't have protect item prayer up. Meaning you will not be safe if you simply have a shade genie to protect your +2 while skulled, you must have your prayer up.
      • NEW EX: Getting smited while having Avarice(i)+Skotizo Bow+Grand Ring(I) with a shade genie out will cause you to lose both your skotizo bow and grand ring(i) if you do not keep your prayer up.
      • Current EX: Getting smited while having Avarice(i)+Skotizo Bow+Grand Ring(I) with a shade genie out will only cause you to lose your grand ring(i).
    • Currently it does not matter if shade genie is used while unskulled as you will still protect your basic +3 while unskulled, additional +1 with prayer, and a +1 if it were a death pet for a total of 5, so no adjustments are needed there.

    I believe this is the best work around death pets currently, and while not completely disregarding @nopid's suggestion: (https://spawnpk.net/forums/index.php?/topic/21266-death-pet-suggestion/) a adjustment was made from the original creator to shift it from protecting the 2nd most valuable item over the first for the reasoning of it not being fair to players who risk 20T+ items such as Avarice(i).

    2. Skotizo Fuse Idea: This is undoubtedly a very overpowered pet and anyone who owns one can easily exploit this. You make this as a counterplay to death pets and its variants but the pet itself has no counterplay? This alone will create a endless loop of making future content just to counter each other with successor's having better attributes over it's predecessor's. That said, and I think it wont come as a surprise but if it pet becomes a thing there will be key players who will have access to items like these for the sake of "content" and these pets are not earned legitly. This pet would be extremely overpowered and obviously stupidly hard to get where as any youtuber or even tevin could just grab up without earning legitly and begin using for the sake of "videos" and "content".

    2a.) Regarding the increase smitage upon oneself when using a death pet variant could be easily combated with proper prayer drain via using prayers. I believe countless players such as @Doggy have mentioned that prayers do not drain as they should compared to osrs. We should start with that fix and go from there if it still needs more adjustments.

    2b.) With the shade genie reworked I mentioned above in section 1. There will be no need for this as it has been acknowledged. 

    3. Risk Protection: +1 @Purdue's values are extremely low which is possibly bias as someone in cheap gear will be on the same playing field with someone with 200b risk and that should not happen. Taking into consideration skill and possible side factors such as grudges/ragging/rushing,etc. It would not be fair to characterize a 20b loot the same as a 200b loot. You know exactly what I mean and the fact that you want them like shows motivation and bias behind wanting it that way.

    • Level 1 - 1-10B
    • Level 2 - 10-25B
    • Level 3 - 25-50B
    • Level 4 - 50-100B
    • Level 5 - 100-250B
    • Level 6 - 250B+
    • Level 7 - 1T+

    Adjusted the levels to make them more fit, also since there are 7 color skulls there would be 7 levels of risk. This can potentially open up additional PKing rewards since there will be modifications to the risk calculations.

    4. Cursed BH: Honestly tired that all the content is getting pumped into this and no where else. It's getting dull. I feel like people are undervaluing it really hard and people think it is not worth. We should start by adressing that and adjusting cursed BH instead of adding ridiculous items every update for the sake of keeping it alive.

    +1 on needing to skull to progress upgrading cursed BH emblems. This could be the "risk vs reward" over regular BH and a fair one at that since cursed BH is by far better in terms of rewards and money making.

    4a.) Blade of saeldor: What would this do besides being identical to ghrazi rapier? Keep in mind there is also Blood Ghrazi which is BiS, and further OP as it recently was buffed and also scales with elderblood ring. I honestly like the idea of branching out on crystal weapons and making items/pets that boost these items. We already have the halberd which is honestly dog shit and should be buffed hella, but if we get the sword and possibly some type of new item regarding the bow we can go from there. Would love for the blade to have some time of perk we currently need like spec giving % to ignore damage soak, % to ignore defense, etc. Not sure how I Feel about the autokeep version, and as it is, is pretty much a autokeep ghrazi without the damage soak pen and not worth to invest.

    4b.) Trouver Parchments: Those are some insane repair fees for using them deep wilderness. I imagine you only have to pay once to have Perdu retrieve them for you and not have to pay for them to be repaired as well? These are insane charges simply for using them above level 30, overkill IMO. Would using a parchment waive using them above 30+ AND waive the repair fee? If so, +1. Giving them to LMS +1, dont care for it as it's not my play style. I imagine these will always be below 5b since Risky Rick will sell them to you for that price.

    5.) LMS upgrades: +1 on everything, possibly a LMS hotspot as most hotspots are regarded trash.

    6.) RoV(i)/Elder Blood: I certainly feel this and I support. Coincidentally, these are not the only items that gives vigour effect like mythic capes and grand rings.

    • Elderblood ring should only give vigour ring ability if the player currently has a vigour(i)
      • Same for mythic cape
    • Ring of Vigour(i) could be buffed in some way since it should not be inferior to elderblood ring/variants.

    7. Clan Cups: +1, also supporting @Juicy Report's idea of having a payoff and the server doesn't pay for it.

    8. Combat mechanics: +1 osrs has it in place and should be ported here. People think it's ragging anyway, might as well give some counterplay to rushing to those who are skilled enough to pull it off.

    9. QoL: +1 on everything, except what would we need a world orb for lol

    Kellatha strikes again! Nice work :D

    Another suggestion that had arose to me by an old player/experienced player to combat death pets and/or shade genie's was to add a 33% smite effect on yourself while you're using a Death Pet/Shade Genie therefore protecting a +1 would also have the risk of being smited for said +1.

    Holy shit, nice thought-out suggestion post!

    I like the above solution, it creates a double edge sword effect which in one hand could pay off and the other if you are not careful would make you loose a valuable item.

    Edge Pking: Maybe make it so cursed orb auto-skulls you to prevent prod tektonic + divines from abusing cursed bounty hunter.

    My suggestion to overcome Shade/Death pet is a rework as follows:

    Death Pet (other variants) - Imo death pet isn't a problem because it only allows you to keep +1 item and has no other additional effects, keeping 1 item in fair enough but you shouldn't be able to drop it last min to save your item and should be used for the full duration of the fight for the effect to work.

    Shade Genie - Always protect 1 item on death even when skulled & smited + allows you to keep another item ONLY  if you are NOT smited. Same as above, you shouldn't be able to drop it last min to save your item and should be used for the full duration of the fight for the effect to work.

    Issues I can see right off the bat below.

    Nefting Shade/Death pet would also in-directly impact on certain items such as Amulet Of Avarice (I), Noc Yoshi, Void Alien, Skot Scep which is used for skotizo farming and it is so easy for a 5 man ele mace/malv axe to potentially smite you for a 10-15t amulet, I do agree there needs to be a fine balance but if this is balanced wrongly it will make items crash significantly and potentially cause dead content/items.

    This could also cause a community uproar for example back when the Yoshi was required to use blood money (imo this was a good change) and it got reverted back because of the community.

    I've never seen you directly support any player tbh, i've seen you pvm multiple times and thats it.

    Im sure other staff would say this become more WELL KNOWN to the community for helping 

    Thank you for your feedback although I do disagree with the statements you have made, please see below🙂

    Just because you don't see me helping doesn't mean it's not happening (staff team can also check logs for this if they wanted concrete evidence).

    I do disagree that you are saying I'm not well known in the community for helping because 35-40% of the SPK community are in survive clan which know who I am and help them on a daily basis (Not counting players outside of the clan that I help).

    However, I do appreciate your opinion! Thank you once again.

    This staff application made me happy to see! I have known you for a while now and only seen good intentions from you. You have experiences and knowledge about the game + staff member rank in a solid clan. Keep that up and I would love to see you in the staff team! You have my +1!

    I believe something that could increase your chances is by having more interactions with the community. Like offering help with game related questions and responding to some questions in yell chat when you have time. 

    Kind regards 

    Bsouth   

    I appreciate your support my brother❤️

    PvP hitlers can get pvp content and call it dead content 30 mins into the live update. They nag more about bad combat mechanics, pathing, overpowered/autokept gear which isn't content but all QoL which is and should be aside from any content.

    SO many updates are going to QoL changes and while I don't see them negatively, they are taking up time for actual content whether it be PvM or PvP.

    Just waiting on content that isn't in the wilderness locked behind clans to do and something new to grind in a donator zone or just a new zone in general.

    Couldn't of said it better myself!

    I've known Anthem since, euhm, lets just say a long time xD

    He's always been very helpful to anyone that had questions or needed advice, never flames or flame baited, doesn't gamble (which I find a plus as it tempts to signal stability) and extensive knowledge of most if not all aspects of the game. (I can concur that Anthem was a frequent pk'er in the past, lately he's been enjoying other parts of the game more but this does not take away the fact that he does also posses pk'ing related insights and knowledge to help ppl.) 

    Anthem has always shown a great maturity and tact in dealing with situations, arguments, etc... Always handles things very respectfully, tries to listen to all parties involved and is not above admitting he's judgement might have been wrong or incomplete and learning from these type of mistakes.

    As for you app, love how you added your achievements, really shows your goal oriented nature and the personal touches that make people have a feel for what kind of person you are without necessarily having met or spoken to you before, kudos.
    While I'm not a big fan of the usual and excessive spamming "my pm's are open for questions related to the game etc", occasionally letting people know you are available can indeed further increase the number of people you can help. I think this is especially the case for time(zones) where usually little to no mods are on and people feel a bit left to their own.

    General conclusion: I highly recommend @Anthem for this staff position, he's knowledgeable, humble, helpful and respectful. He's already shown many of these qualities in helping and managing a large cc like survive and on top of this he is in a timezone where often there is a shortage of active mods (based on recent yell discussions).

    Racc2 out

    Thank you my man for the kind words❤️😊

    I'm so happy to see @Anthem Apply for staff position! I have known this player for at least a year now, I've seen him actively PvM a ton as I believe he has one of if not the highest blood slayer rank in the game. Anthem has been in my Clan chat since pretty close to the beginning, I've had the privilege to see him progress since when I met him as a new guy to the server, to now a respected General within Survive clan chat. I can understand and appreciate that my +1 is entirely bias as I owe Anthem so much for all of the hard work and dedication that he as put into helping my Clan grow but with that being said I can 100% vouch that he is a kind guy who doesn't easily respond to flame-bait, can stay level headed in tough times and truly has what's best for the server in mind. I wish you the best of luck my friend and I hope to see you continue to help players daily in game :) 

    Thank you for your kind words my brother :D❤️

    Haven't seen you help people on yell or advertising that you can be reached out to for help, also don't see you PKing ever and I think the server needs helpers/moderators who PVM and PK. -1 therefor.

    Hi Hook, I prefer to help people through my pms and answer questions in yell, survive and help, maybe we are on a different timezone that you have not seen this. As previously mentioned I do pk occasionally but enjoy pvm content more, I can't see this being a limitation on my staffing ability as I have game knowledge on both types of content, however, thank you for your feedback I will take it on-board 😊

    Anthem is a very active player with a clean record. I've known Anthem since we first started playing (we started around the same time). To this day I have yet to see this man be any sort of toxic or flamermen in yell, cc or anywhere else. On top of that, Anthem is very (read: Super fucking) active and that's what this SPK staff team needs. Whenever he's online he's helpful in our cc, Survive.. Not a single question is too much to answer for him.

     

    Besides his friendliness, willingness to help others and his activity, Anthem has achieved several amazing milestones that do NOT include gambling and therefore are legitimate things to be proud of. 

    He has a vast knowledge of the game which would make him suitable for the helper rank +.

     

    Give this man a shot and let's see some change in SPK that's direly needed.

    Admin of Survive clan chat.

    Thank you for the kind words my man! ❤️

    5. Average amount of game-play hours per day: Weekdays around 3-4 hours per day can increase depending on work schedule, weekends average 6-8 hours per day.

    6. Why you should receive the position: Please see below.

    Introduction

    Hi All, My name is Kieran Aka Anthem (will soon be known as IGN), you may know me from the biggest cc in game #Survive! we are an all around chill clan and have members from all walks of SPK life. 

    My day-to-day life on SPK

    As most of you know I am a hardcore pvmermen! (But occasionally like to go on pking trips with the cc) I like to grind for the sort after drops and like to progress my account without the use of gambling ect... SPK is my home of RSPS as I have a great friendship base that seems to grow on a daily basis helping out new players and sharing my knowledge of the game. I am not the kind of player to give items out but I always point them in the right direction to make there own path.

    Some of my achievements to date

    • Mythic rank from pvming only 💸
    • Most of the un-tradables apart from enchanted chest.
    • 102k boss kills.
    • Rank 440 Blood Slayer, 8 blood relics grinded :D
    • Fortune Genie (Was my dream pet)

    I am the behavior manager for Survive Clan and have dealt with a large number of reports/tickets in my time of playing SPK, I believe I have strong communication and resolution skills to allow me to moderate such clan and would like to share my knowledge of the game to a wider audience.

    I always have my private chat on for questions regarding SPK and generally hop between the help cc and survive. I answer questions on yell chat to the best of my ability, if i don't know the answer I'm not scared to admit that and point them to the right person.

    I have an active forums account but as of lately I have been slacking! I need to get on the forums grind again and start making guides ect...

    My personal life

    I am educated to University level with a degree in Computer Science. I currently work for a Telecoms company called BT/Openreach, I am a site manager for planning and supervising excavations for replacement of telecom poles and fiber-optics. I have two children having my first one when I was just 17 years old, people say its far to young but it was a blessing in disguise. I've not long bought my first forever home! I believe I am very mature for a 23 year old due to my family life and commitments.

    Summary

    Now you know more about 'Anthem', I would like to say that I appreciate all the good and bad feedback that you give and hopefully if you have anything bad to say we can talk about it in my pm's :)!

    Thank y'all for reading! ❤️
