All I can say is there needs to be a tradeoff. If the end rewards are too desirable and thus a low RNG roll rate, and the content is too difficult, that doesn't work. I better get a reward after going through all that crap ;D.
I can remember fights that started in Despise with the chokepoint and fields and continued on into terrakeep around the star room with one group holding a choke point and mass murder going on around. Sure it would last hours and be totally exhausting, but we just don't have the player for this type of battle anymore.
You do realize that in the pub notes it clearly states, "phase 1", right? I would suspect that after a few days of working the kinks out, maybe, JUST MAYBE, there might be a phase 2 releasing more game content? I dunno, but I'm not prematurely jumping the gun much like yourself. I can't wait to sit back and watch what you have to say after all the testing takes place and it is release on prodo shards. Maybe by then you will stick to playing other games and leave this new system that has a lot of potential to all the individuals that will come to enjoy it.
Sorry, I couldn't stop myself.
You are doing something wrong if stat is taking you completely out of the fight. Stat doesn't mean you have to log off, it just means you have to adjust your role in the fight. UO isnt other MMOs mechanic wise, so obviously its going to be different. Whether thats a bad thing or good thing is up for debate, but it is what it is.
I would imagine if a group were to do that quest, each player could end up being ambushed by separate mob groups, possibly, then again if many people are doing the quest together, what are the odds of all the group members getting the same delivery destination?
That sounds good, I always did think 20 minutes was a bit long...
You single click him, and choose the option to turn it in.Sooooo how do we complete the quest? I have handed it to the guy, dropped it on the town chest, talked to the guy and nothing.
Correct 24 hour cooldown starting after your last transfer OR character copy.Hmpf. Copied a character to Test for Testing, and then intended to do a regular character transfer with a different char on another shard to another shard for a friend with the same account.
That this is not possible for 24(?) hours was a very unpleasant surprise. Is this the thank you for trying to help testing?
*Salute*

Yes. The plan is for them to despawn after 10 minutes of not being hit.
RVR in DAoC, Wintergrasp in WoW, Ilum on SWTOR all at one point could last for hours at a time and had choke points and field equivalents. Not a single one made your character unplayable if you died.
Only because that content aged out and no one does it anymore due to it being 3 expansions old. Do you have an example of another game that makes your character useless if you die in PVP? Gaming companies want people to play more, not to stop them from playing.
why in the world are you "missing" uoam - I got it working fine and posted it to the sticky thread at the top of the uhall
Wintergrasp never lasted hours. It lasted 30 minutes max (Which has been updated for max level players). Tol Barad didnt last hours, nor did anything in MoP or anything in upcoming WoD.
Yes, but the reason for that is risk. There is no extra risk for doing the "bad" thing, so the much better reward makes no sense.
haha man I don't read stickies, that's like reading a manual
When I see faction fights the people that die stand typically stand there as a ghost, and for good reason. A character in stat loss is pretty useless, tamers can't command pets, dexers can't hit anything, mages fizzle, there is a reason we take our skills to 120. You might as well say sure you can pvp naked on a newbie char, but the result would be the same.
many fps games you get 1 life and then have to sit out if you die. theres also permadeath in some games. sometimes in hardcore mode like on minecraft, sometimes its just normal. if you die you die. you dont get your character "back" at all. its gone.
We're talking MMO PVP here not Hardcore Diablo or FPS, apples and oranges.
Luck makes it CRAZY. I posted this in the TC forum, but a guildmate (who copied his toon with a luck suit, 2260 luck or so) and I did a Melisande run in Fel and we got A LOT of good stuff. One of the items was a Talisman. I forget the other mods on it, but it gave an Inscription bonus of 43%.
Dude, read whats been posted, not what you think I should have posted! I very rarely go into stat its the waiting around for other members of your team that urinates on the party. Then people log out due to the costant waiting around due to stat loss. 5 mins fighting 20 mins down time, 5 mins fighting 20 mins down time, 5 ins fighting, everyone logs out due to down time. so nearly and hours game time and only 10 mins PvP.
Sounds good. There may be some who want to kill the leftover spawn, if they get less nasty and do have new loot. Anything that make players traveling the land or the sea seeking for something will be great. I like their slow speed, as they won't be a problem for crafters and gathers as they easy can run from them, if attended.
LOL, in that case, the boats may be camped of player brigands too. I would not park it but dock it, find Slim and then you can recall home.
I believe they said in notes that Fel is given am inherent 1,000 luck bonus. That being said, I had no idea talismans were tied to the new loot. I wonder if we shouldn't delete any mention of that, hahahaha. But wow. I mean, I thought the spawn principle was up to 30% bonus on talismans...I wonder if it's now 45%, or what? Wow.
Well...if there's no more -100 luck...there certainly are no more brittle/-100 luck/cursed all on one, so...I think I only saw antique on jewels in my small sample size. What I mean to say is, old system would give you artifact level jewels that were no durability but maybe cursed and also -100 luck, and to me, I'd rather have antique and 255 durability...but then, I guess we'll have to see just how fast antique wear out.
ok fair enough. ill use my go-to. Darkfall. you lose everything just like in old UO and cant just start playing again. theirs others out there. yes its usually a more dedicated "hardcore" type of players, but isnt that what factions is supposed to be for?
Personally, I prefer my items with durability. I'd even like that tangle, crimmys and stuff like that had durability too so that there would be a reason to farm extra of them.
I am not a big fan of "Mumm Ra the ever lasting" items.
Ps. Yes, I am a geek. I can't help it.
they cant be. i think this was to prevent all the old ephemeral (no antique) from be forted back up. I see why antique shouldnt be able to be forted, but regular jewels should be.
Yeah be nice if any "clean" jewels would still spawn without durability, or be able to be re-fortified (with the exception of imbued ones).
I have 21 characters and the only suits I had to replace due to wear in 3 years so far were the ones that I reforged with brittle and cannot be repaired for one of my dexxers when I was training her. And those lasted me a good two months, during a time when I was able to play daily.
There's a known issue with talisman property generation, they will spawn with properties more in line with what's currently available on a future update to TC1.
