Yeah I dunno what the point of those is. They have a billion HP and almost no offensive ability, so you sit there bored out of your mind half-AFK killing them. They should be dangerous but take only a reasonable amount of time to kill for an exciting battle.Ok, I'm in the Cavern of Discarded right now... The ratmen bosses have WAY too much HP. They're like peerless level in HP, but are a total joke to kill. It's just a waste of time.
A lack of community and cooperation is whats wrong with UO. Don't get me wrong I don't believe in the old doom system as it was unfair. But I do disagree with anything that removes the need to interact with other players and erodes the community.Doom system is great as it is now. The original one was a nightmare where people had to cooperate so that few could get their "unique" items.
LOL, I went and made a sandwich and ate it the other day. I am looking at adding 'auto-fire' to my left click mouse - it's all hardware. I'll just watch tv till the end. zzzzzzThey have a billion HP and so you sit there bored out of your mind half-AFK killing them.
Can we have this please? I am farming these darn spawn for ages just to get certain useless arties for my collection. It horrible. Can we get a better droprate please? It's such a waste of time!Seems like the drop rate for artifacts is about 1%. For the amount of time it takes to complete a mini-champ and for the next to respawn, I think the drop rate should be around 5%. Then people will kill the renowns and adventure more in the abyss.
What I think is a better option is to overlay a doom-like point system for all mobs in the underground and abyss. You can still have your abysmal chance of getting a drop off the renowns, but then for every mob you kill you get points toward a random auto-drop.
That would be a pretty welcome change. And mayhap they could apply it to the peerless drops as well.Can we have this please? I am farming these darn spawn for ages just to get certain useless arties for my collection. It horrible. Can we get a better droprate please? It's such a waste of time!
I feel like a lot of monsters need reason to hunt them. All old artifacts need a revamp pretty much. Reminds me of the old "revamp an arti" thread I made like a year or two ago.The same Renowned Pixie has been sitting in the Abyss on Atlantic all day. The spawn with the fairy dragons has been sitting at level 3 all day. Same with a few others. People farm imbuing materials and just leave when the boss pops, because nobody is that interested in a 1% chance at an artifact worth like 200k.
Yeah I can grind through the last of the previous spawn before farming my own imbuing mateirals, but the boss is supposed to be the culmination of a spawn. Not a big worthless lump you leave sitting there for the next sucker to waste their time on.
Make the bosses drop imbuing materials, or just have them despawn if no one kills them, or something. I dunno. When the boss is just some pile of crap speedbump that you abandon, SOMETHING isn't tuned right.
I suggest asking for 30 to 50% instead, just to be sure...Why not changing the rate to 5-10 percent? I don't need a revamp, but let it rain, folks!
I noticed that before, but I love it when these old posts get resurrectedJust realized this was a post from 2011...
