Hello Loka minecrafters.
I'm Steve5729, also known by my current IGN Orlanth. I've been playing Loka since 2016, and have been away from the server for a long time. I've only recently returned after a several-year break (despite having poked my head in a few times). A lot has changed about the server, and I have a few thoughts + suggestions for the server.
Feel free to ask me anything. I've added some of my own recent anecdotes here:
I had no idea what yellow and red zones were when I came back. Back in my day, it was effectively everywhere except conquest fights meant dropped inventories. I saw a recent post by MoistP mentioning Red RIs, and whilst I've been making good use of Yellow zones, I would like to see something like this. Also, listening to the recent SOTS, Crypt mentioned requests for capital policies. With these thoughts together, I think it'd be cool to allow capitals to dictate their continent's RI should be Red as a policy. Interested in discussing this further.
I also had a run-in with the witch hunter recently. I'll be honest, I hate this boss. He shoots 2-shot arrows through walls, randomly regens all his health, and summons scaling counts of small hitbox mobs. In my tribulation (and probably 30+ deaths against the mob), I found that it was MUCH easier to solo the boss by kiting it rather than relying on other players. The boss being out in the open makes this a bit more of a problem, since I, at one point, had to ask spectators to leave because it was boosting the boss's HP pool. (Shoutout splinian). That said, having a world boss is cool, and I'm glad it exists. Would be very fun if it got some polish.
I've really enjoyed achievement hunting in my recent return to the server, but I have to say this "Old Zyre" thing really has been a pain. Entirely obsolete with 30+ achievements. Honestly, no idea how to solve this, but I've heard Zyre revamp is desired by the community in some way. KOTH certainly sounds fun for sure.
Another recent issue has been that a lot of the quests are broken. Not sure why this is the case, but I've had a crazy issue with quests just bricking at certain points. I think over 80% of the quests in Aladra I've tried to start (waterstone worked at least). I don't know why this is so prevalent, but it is disappointing since so much care and detail seem to be put into all the quests. I understand staff are busy, though, it would just be cool if this were patched eventually.
