Slayer point weekend, votepage fix and forum changes

Post by Mike » Sat Sep 26, 2015 12:08 am

Updated on 29 September 2015
> The old helpcenter has been removed and replaced by our new skilling center! Use ::skilling, ::helpcenter or the POH portal in Varrock to go there! Premium members, helpers and staff members enjoy a +5% XP boost to the following skills while training in the skilling center: woodcutting, firemaking, fishing, cooking, mining, smithing, agility and hunter
There are 2 rune rocks but those are premium-only
There is also a bank chest in the wc/fishing/mining zone, but is only accessible to new players (less than 1 hour time played) and players with 80 mining, smithing, fishing woodcutting and firemaking
> Fixed a bug where multi-combat spells in castle wars stopped your autocast if a teammate was standing next to your opponent
> As of now, if there is more than one event where you can teleport with ::event, you'll be shown a list of the current events to choose from
> The whip of shadows passive effect (15% dodge chance on incoming attacks) no longer works against other players in the wilderness, as it should be
> All invalid names have now been removed from friends and ignore lists. Any new invalid names you accidentally add will be automatically removed on the next login (this may happen due to corrupt packets or typos when adding someone to your friend/ignore list).
> Fixed a bug with the teleporting crystal in bounty hunter, now you can no longer get teleported to someone outside the wilderness
> Added salve amulet and salve amulet (e) to the Grand Exchange items list as well as ::prices

> We've added all boss pets and a whole bunch of other (mostly OSRS) items to the client. These items are not yet obtainable, but will be in future updates within the next few weeks. Some, if not all, of these boss pet and item releases will also be paired with a 3-day lasting boss event (on top of our weekly castle wars and other weekend events).
These boss pets and items include:

Kalphite Princess (will be able to transform at will into either form)

Baby Dagannoth Prime
Baby Dagannoth Rex

Baby Smoke Devil (Thermonuclear smoke devil also included in the client, will be added as boss soon)
Baby Kraken (Kraken will be added as a boss soon)
Baby Mole (Giant Mole will be made available soon)
Rock (not yet sure how to obtain, but HOLY SHIT A PET ROCK)

Penance Princess (not sure if or when this will be made available)
Baby Nex (will possibly be admin+ only, but we're not sure yet)

Voting fix
Our votepage http://vote.pkhonor.net has been fixed for players using Internet Explorer (and possibly other less used browsers like Safari and Opera). However, the vote button will now look like a plain text link. In order to get the vote button back, please hard refresh your browser using Ctrl - F5 (or clear your browser cache) to reload our css file.
If you don't use a hard refresh or clear your browser cache, the vote page may fix itself within several days to several weeks (depending on the timing on your browser cache).
We apologize for this inconvenience.


Forum changes
As some of you may have noticed, we have made most of our support forums read-only, where you can only see your own threads. We had intended to make this change for a very long time, but the forums couldn't support that feature until today.

This change applies to our appeals, recoveries, refunds, donations and player/helper/staff reports. The main reasons why we have done this:
> Security: some people post transaction ID's, e-mail addresses, personal information etc. in their support threads and others could steal this data to post a fake refund or recovery or to personally identify someone
> Makes our support process smoother: these changes allowed us to get rid of post approval. Any support thread can now be instantly posted without prior moderator approval.
> Players now have a neat overview of their threads within the support forums, without them getting lost in between a dozen other ones
> Support cases were always meant for staff members only. However, because of our forum limitations, all players had access to all cases on the forums.
A select few community members seem to have taken it upon themselves to become a "judge of PkHonor", criticizing every decision and scrutinizing staff members for the tiniest of mistakes. We may be community-oriented as far as in-game content is concerned, but that doesn't mean players get to judge over staff cases and staff members - that's up to the staff management to do, and so far we're quite happy with how Billy has handled his duties. Sadly, several staff members had already been suspended or demoted due to abuse or rule breaking, but we believe Billy's judgement to be fair in all of those cases. No offense, but we don't need the community dealing with staff affairs as well ;)

We have also made the feedback section read-only, though you can still read other people's feedback. Feedback sections often became discussion threads, but this is not how the forum was intended to be used. If you want to hold a discussion about something, use the General Discussion forum for that. If you want to give some feedback to staff, supers or the server in general, you can post it in the Feedback forum.

Damn that's a good amount of osrs items :D
But no blowpipe?
I understand it would be a big update with the boss and all so I understand why not, aside from that the staff of the dead is being added so that does kind of confuse me as to why the blowpipe isn't being added.
