Hello Community,

We are in discussion(s) about reworking the Loyalty Shop! We are wanting to keep it moving in the avenue of cosmetic(s) here is a current screenshot of items inside the shop:

If you have any ideas then feel free to post them! We are looking at moving some of the cosmetics over from the Voting Shop aswell!

Sincerely,

Matt

Hello Community Members,

We are currently in discussion(s) about a rework for the current Voting Shop here is a screenshot of the current items:

The concept we was looking into was removing a lot of cosmetics and placing them into the Loyalty Shop. We want to see what items you believe would be a good incentive to vote!

Thanks,

Gepan

Pest Control Rewards

Hello Community,

I would like to first off say thank you for taking the time to vote in the Community Poll I for January 2021. We received a lot of feedback and started to path our way for the February update. I have decided to come up with a few different ideas for the Pest Control rewards and would like to obtain some feedback. We have also decided against introducing pet mystery boxes into this minigame so keep that in mind.

Herb boxes: (30 points)

One of the question was should we allow this to be a static reward or random an example would be do we allow the same herbs for example:

5x noted Grimy Harralanders
2x noted Grimy Ranarrs
3x noted Grimy Toadflax
4x noted Grimy Irits
3x noted Grimy Avantoes
4x noted Grimy Kwuarms
2x noted Grimy Snapdragons
4x noted Grimy Cadantine
3x noted Grimy Lantadyme
3x noted Grimy Dwarf Weed
1x noted Grimy Torstol

Or do we make a random generated amount of herbs based upon weight for example you could receive 20 Harralanders, 5 Ranarrs, 5 Snapdragons and 1 Lantadyme we would like your feedback on if you would like the herb boxes to provide the herbs as listed or would you like it to be random?

Seed Packs (15 points)

One of the question was should we allow this to be a static reward or random an example would be do we allow the same seeds for example:

x Harralander Seeds
1x Irit Seed
1x Kwuarm Seed
1x Cadantine Seed
1x Landtadyme Seed
1x Dwarf Weed Seed
- Then a chance for a Toadflax, Ranarr, Snapdragon, or Torstol Seed ~
- Then a chance for a random fruit tree seed ~
- Then a chance for a random tree seed ~

We would like to propose the same question as stated in the Herb Boxes question would you like this chart as listed above or would you like it to be a random amount and selection of seeds?

Mineral Packs (15 points)

One of the question was should we allow this to be a static reward or random an example would be do we allow the same minerals for example:

30x Iron Ore
20x Coal Ore
15x Gold Ore
10x Mithril Ore
5x Adamant Ore
1x Rune Ore

We would like to propose the same question as stated in the Herb Boxes question would you like this chart as listed above or would you like it to be a random amount and selection of minerals?

Sigh... I was very eager to wait for upcoming updates, but seeing polls like this for entire month... Does not give me much hope for really good things to come by.

I've been giving tons of suggestions as an ironman and irons do have to play through every piece of content there is to gather and earn stuff. Where are all the quality of life changes, where is all the golden unused content?

So rant aside I'll give some feedback then.

I do not know where You got the idea that player base's biggest problem is lack of bird pets. Well, now I know. I believe many people won't care if these birds exist or not, theyre obviously nice addon, but seeing the whole context of the poll, disappointing.

Pest Control Changes I understand is needed and having more rewards (props for pet mystery boxes, I believe those will be the only reason Pest Control will get more active players) is essential. Right now I don't have suggestions what other rewards could be added.

Mort Myre Fungus changes are the most questionable, I'd really love to see the dumbo who suggested that player base lacks of Mort Myre Fungus and truly believes adding crabs will change everything. I'll just add a video for context why I believe the one who suggested is a complete idiot, literally.

I USED THIS METHOD AND I CAN TELL YOU THIS IS VERY FAST (You also get 2x fungi with morytania hard diary, which makes it even better)

//EDIT - Fungi could be added to bosses drops if You want more of them in the economy.

I was waiting excitedly for loyalty shop rework, as right now, it is truly the most pointless shop with points. Theres literally nothing worth for playing other than imbue scrolls. Seeing the items what You're proposing to add only adds nothing to the nothing list. Atleast put something worth bankstanding for, some QoL items or anything else that is worth something.

I do not know how the COX Chest works, but as we have Statius Warhammer added and it is literally the same thing as Dragon Warhammer, I believe its reasonable idea.

I have a request... Please be more thorough when starting these polls and presenting ideas. Think things through maybe contact active players and ask them whats needed most. Proceed through the community's active players list and make the game for them.

Hello Matthu,

I will add to what Hexae said if you read my prior threads we do not have the means of completing major end content such as TOB, Construction, Revision update on a manner in which you are requesting. The two options would be to stop and halt all updates which we will not do and focus Jakey on TOB or Construction for months or we will have him work on a major update in his free time, and minor updates throughout the month.

January 16, 2021

Zenyte Community,

We have seen an overwhelming amount of support since the last update and have reached remarkable numbers on our player count. I would like to say thank you to all of our members. We had a great turn out with the PVP armor update, and it seems like this month is just breezing by so I would like to introduce the Community Poll I for January 2021. We believe there will be two polls for January 2021 at this point due to content discussion(s).

Sincerely,

Matt

NOTE: THIS WILL NOT BE THE ONLY UPDATES CONDUCTED IN NEXT UPDATE REVISION THIS IS ONLY THE CONTENT WE WISH TO POLL.

IN-GAME CONTENT

God "Bird" Pets

We would like to introduce the Saradomin Owl, Guthix Raptor, and Zamarok Hawk into the server and have them obtainable by two methods. The first method as a rare drop from using an egg on the woodcutting guild shrine. You will be able to obtain a increased amount of eggs from birdhouse runs because the "gold ring" nest would be removed and all current drops moved up in the ring table. An example would be as followed:

Sapphire Ring 1/3
Emerald Ring 1/6
Ruby Ring 1/11
Diamond Ring 1/75
Bird's Nest (Egg) 1/75

However keep in mind you will still need to have RNG on your side when you sacrifice the egg to the shrine. This drop rate is currently undefined. You would also have a overall chance to obtain a pet from a birdhouse in the rate of for example 1/1000.

Pest Control Changes

The Zenyte Events Team and Server Management has recently been receiving feedback in regards to the Pest Control. We understand that the minigame is held on a bi-daily basis so we want to give an opportunity to provide more rewards. We are proposing these three changes:

Herb Boxes (Purchased from the Shop)

Seed Boxes (Purchased from the Shop)

We would also like to give the ability to trade a full set of void without a helmet to a Administrator+ for 3 pet mystery boxes.

Swamp Crabs & Mort Myre Fungus

The Community has provided a lot of feedback in concerns to the current player base and herblore supplies. One of the ones of big demand is Mort Myre Fungus. We have decided to come up with a a solution and that would be to add onto the drop table at a chance of 1/3 (33%) the ability to drop 3 noted Mort Myre Fungi.

Loyalty Shop Rework

We have been in discussion(s) of a current rework on the Loyalty Shop we have obtained a handful of items such as:

Bone Sack
Gadderhammer
Golden Helmet
Mouse Toy
Ratcatcher Poll

However we have not finalized any specific additional or changes would a Loyalty shop rework be something we as a community would like to see if so we will create a specific topic in the suggestions board to get opinions, and suggestions.

Statius Warhammer

The Statius Warhammer was not coded on OSRS to be used during raids so we would like to propose the idea to allow it to build a COX Chest similar to the mechanic for the Dragon Warhammer.

Hello Community,

The Staff Team would like to obtain an opinion from members of our community prior to the release of the January content poll for January 2021.

The four questions are as followed:

1.) Do you think that the current donator ranks above ruby should be lowered in price due to the current player count and price of bonds?

2.) Should we allow a section for vouches on the forums for services such as gambling and services?

3.) If we add a section on the forums for vouches should we add an official middleman role on discord/forums that can be applied for. This position will require a deposit, and be held to a higher standard then a normal account for scamming/rules. For example 100% of their middleman services will be required to be video recorded. They will also have access to a dice bag. We may even implement the ability to refund players if a scam does occur by a official middleman. There will not be a custom rank in-game.

4.) Should we allow donators the ability to add a custom rank that meets guidelines set by the server's rules it would be located here :

Wilderness Slayer - PVP Armors - Community Poll

Zenyte Community,

The Development Team has been working on the update(s) listed in content poll for December and requested that we poll the drop mechanic of the PVP armors from the Wilderness Slayer the three options are as followed:

1.) This option will be to have the item** drop from the NPC after death. (An example would be after you kill 1 skeleton on a slayer task it will have the ability to drop a piece of the PVP armor)

2.) This option will be to have the item** dropped after a Slayer Task has been completed. (An example would be after 100 skeletons or whatever your full task is you have a chance of obtaining a piece of the PVP armor)

Item** = is indicating a piece of the PVP armor(s)

The Dragon Pickaxe will not be added into the store - I would like to see some opinions on adding it to MLM.

I don’t mind the majority of this, they’re mostly good & positive changes.

However, I’m against the addition of Dragon Pic-axes to the store - they’re basically the only item that make Wilderness bosses worthwhile.

& I’m really against Ironman being able to buy them from the store, that would be very “un-Zenyte”.

I would also say that adding Mort Myre Fungi to the store is a step in the wrong direction too, that’s a relatively good money maker for new starters & adding it to the store could kill that method. Definitely against Ironmen being able to buy it from the store too.

The other proposed changes are great though.

Respected response and “un-Zenyte” is not the direction we want to move into.

December Community Poll

Zenyte Community,

The Donator Store has not been updated since we have had a player count of 500+ and the prices reflect that. We believe (The Staff Team) that the players should have a fair opportunity to spend their credits. We as a Staff Team have given away over 5000 credits in November and December for different events and we don't want this poll to come off as a push for donations because that is not the case. We are simply wanting to balance all of our stores to reflect our player count, and the economy. We will be doing a similar transition with the voting and loyalty stores.

Here is the proposal for the donator store changes:

** will reflect the ability to purchase the item as a Ironman

2020 Q4 - Staff Feedback

Community Members,

I would like to gain some feedback on our Staff Team as a whole or individual basis. This will be confidential and only between myself and the submitting member. This can include feedback on our customer/community service, handling of reports, handling of bug reports, or general attitude. This type of feedback from our community is critical when our key focus is to hold a strong-transparent relationship with our players. If you have feedback for me personally feel free to submit it there will be no repercussions(s) for you sharing your feedback.

If you plan to submit some feedback then please send it to me in a private message here is a example of "how to":

Sincerely,

December 11, 2020

@Cilay

I would like to say thank you for taking time to reply to this and I do agree that player feedback is appreciated 100% however the one thing that I do ask is that people actually "give a shit" for a lack of a better term instead of just replying with what they consider "constructive feedback". I went ahead and dug into both of the accounts in this thread who shared similar views about what updates we should be implementing and the only topic they have ever replied to in a long time was one from a Staff Member from another server asking us to shut down Zenyte.

I went ahead and gave them the benefit of the doubt and said perhaps they are active in-game and I have missed them throughout the times I login and well nope there has not been any activity for months. (even prior to the time the server started to decrease in players). We won't even take into consideration that one person doesn't even have a account in game for the most part..

Ah this would explain the situation..

These two accounts seem to have been registered on the same IP and computer...

Anyway again your more then welcome to provide your feedback and I appreciate any and all feedback but things like using two accounts to validate your own points when your not actively involved in the community is a bit much. I will address your point about the manager making updates like this possible. We have to make sure all special attacks, and animations, drop rates, and different protocols like that are proper and unfortunately that type of mechanic coding is far beyond my skill set.

Your more then welcome to at least apply for the QA Team if you do wish to speed up this situation!

December Community Poll

Zenyte Community,

As I said in the December Newsletter one of the things that I want to accomplish is more transparency between the Staff Team and the Players. I have recently restructured the internal organization by breaking things down into 4 teams - The QA Team, The Staff Team, The Development Team, and The Events Team each of those teams will be led by an Administrator who will report directly to myself. This will allow things to work more smoothly as we transition into Development and QA Testing.

I want to start off by re-capping on what I said in the December Newsletter and that is as of this moment we only have one developer who is working two full-time jobs and we are currently in the process of seeking and onboarding at least one other individual. This means projects such as Construction, and Theatre of Blood would take months to go through the full-development stage before being able to be pushed to testing.

I believe that we could make better use of his time by pushing smaller updates but at the same time eyeing the future. This means he will take priority on handling minor-medium new content, bug fixes, and things in that realm however during any spare time he will focus on future major updates such as Group Ironman, Construction and Theatre of Blood. Once we have onboarded a 2nd developer someone will be strictly dedicated to these major updates.

Now to move into changes and new content - I decided that we will be polling some additions to our game to make sure that we are on the correct path. The following suggestions have been forwarded and are currently in the development stage however we want to be transparent with our player base and ensure this is something the players want.

NOTE: THIS WILL NOT BE THE ONLY UPDATES CONDUCTED IN NEXT UPDATE REVISION THIS IS ONLY THE CONTENT WE WISH TO POLL.

IN-GAME CONTENT
The following things are currently in the testing stage. However, I want to poll them before placing them into the live game to ensure transparency and approval from the community!

Clue Hunter Outfit
The Clue Hunter Outfit will be obtained by digging in the exact spots as "Old School Runescape" you will be able to obtain all the pieces and the armor will give the exact effect as it does on OSRS for Wintertodt.

Twisted Ancestral
The Twisted Ancestral Colour Kit is something that is obtained by completing the Chambers of Xeric Challenge Mode on OSRS. You use it on Ancestral to make a Twisted Ancestral - Hat, Bottom or Top.

Abyssal Bludgeon
The Abyssal Bludgeon is currently only obtained by mystery boxes making it impossible at the moment without sire to be obtained by Ironmen. The temporary solution would be to add the pieces to the Abyssal Demons. The drop rate would be set at 1/512 per piece making the total drop rate for a full bludgeon 1/1,536

Abyssal Area (ALR)
The Abyssal Area (ALR) will be coded and added in order to have more Abyssal Demons available for the hunt of the Abyssal Bludgeon!

Statius's Equipment
The Statius's Equipment including Statius's Warhammer, Statius's Full Helm, Statius's Platebody, and Statius's Platelegs will be added in game. The weapon will require 78 attack and the armor will require 78 defense. They will not degrade and will be obtained either from Wilderness Bosses, Wilderness Slayer, or a combination of both at a rare rate.

Zuriel's Equipment
The Zuriel's Equipment including Zuriel's Staff, Zuriel's Hood, Zuriel's Robe Top, and Zuriel's Robe Bottom will be added in game. The weapon will require 78 magic and the armor will require 78 defense. They will not degrade and will be obtained either from Wilderness Bosses, Wilderness Slayer, or a combination of both at a rare rate.

Morrigan's Equipment
The Morrigan's Equipment including Morrigan's Throwing Axe, Morrigan's Javelin, Morrigan's Coif, Morrigan's Leather Body, Morrigan's Leather Chaps will be added in game. The weapon will require 78 ranged and the armor will require 78 defense. They will not degrade and will be obtained either from Wilderness Bosses, Wilderness Slayer, or a combination of both at a rare rate.

The Vesta's Equipment including Vesta's Longsword, Vesta's Spear, Vesta's Chainbody, Vesta's Plateskirt will be added in game. The weapon will require 78 attack and the armor will require 78 defense. They will not degrade and will be obtained either from Wilderness Bosses, Wilderness Slayer, or a combination of both at a rare rate.

Forum (Discord) Updates
The following things are currently in the testing stage. However, I want to poll them before making them live on the forums we want transparency and approval from our community.

Priority on handling minor-medium new content, bug fixes, and things in that realm however during any spare time he will focus on future major updates.

2FA or Security Questions
You will have the ability to login to the forums and secure your account with a set of security questions in replacement of the forums 2FA.

Theme Update
We want to update our theme similar to this that was released in a recent thread. What is your opinion on a skin/theme change?

Badge for Forum Groups
There has been a proposal to add the following badges and a user group for Ironman, Hardcore Ironman, and Ultimate Ironman.

Discord Booster Role
The Discord Booster role will take priority over the donator roles up to Onyx and your name will be highlighted in pink.
