Do Trammel facets have too many perks?

[Fuser606]

Felucca is the least popular part of the game. No one needs an "excuse" to not go there. The game would not somehow be better on some existential level if you could force them to go there anyway. The days of non-PVPers being subject to PVP are dead and gone. Nobody cares except the sort of people who go to Felucca, 1/5th of the population of a game most people would be surprised to learn still exists.

Also, lol @ felucca hardguys. Grats on being the baddest dudes in a doddering old game with SNES graphics that 99% of the MMO universe doesn't give a crap about.

Sounds like you're bashing UO more than Feluccans.

And as far as cheating goes, its everywhere. I come across more "farmers" in tram then fel for obvious reasons (its safe). If I had to say, I'd say that cheating in tram is higher and/or worse. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

"skill over GM is not actually necessary to play in any of them."

you need over GM taming to tame dragons, You need over GM taming to voke and discord things in this game, and you need over GM to compete with some of the monsters.

Yeah, I understand what has gone down in UO over the many years it has been around. It's a shame the way things have turned out.

As for cheaters, all shards have them. The guy cheating in Felucca can just as easily be the Doom farmer with 2 chars making rounds on the Gauntlet with a script.

I think many use "cheaters and hackers" as an excuse to not participate in the challenge that is Felucca.

But yes, I admit I have ran into some pretty fishy characters in my time.

Cheaters and Hackers could also be viewed as people who abuse the rules to win the game. Not only those who break the rules and cheat to obtain victory.

As far as a challenge goes there is no challenge, that's the problem. Look how many large UO Guilds there are. There are not many because of a monopoly of greed, which is controlled by the rule set itself and designed FOR cheaters and hackers to hide behind.

You would not have cheaters and hackers if everyone could obtain the same items equally because there would be no reason to break the rules. Small guilds are diminished because of this monopoly. Your so called challenge is faced not only by the spawn but multitudes of pvpers that come down on a small guild of 4 to 5 people, usually at the point of the spawn when it's at its height.

So, the guild is faced with the decision to destroy the guild that would be unique and join the power horde or leave UO or just become spawn bate to be endlessly abused in spawn turmoil.

I don't find this to be challenging and I don't think it would make a difference if they were all cheaters and hackers because the odds place you as being dead anyway.

I'm perplexed by the notion that whenever you cross through the red gate, you're suddenly in 'Cheater Land'.

And Hawkeye, I take offense everytime you say something along those lines.
Seriously.

The majority are not cheaters, and if you took enough time to get to know some of them you might change your mind about Feluccans.

Yes always found it real fun to be at a dead run and hit by one after another flamestrike. And after one my characters loose his bless deed and get the "hah hah" from the hack makes me want to jump up and go to fel. Enjoyed the game for over four years now fel free.

There sure are a lot of people that show up to spawns and Harrowers, you don't see those kinds of numbers 'cept at Luna bank.

On a more serious note, don't knock on the SNES. greatest system ever, they sure don't make games like that anymore.

 

[RichDC]

I dont know about your shards but fel on GL at spawns is hopping again!

Especially with the new drop system so those 4-5 people in the small guild can work up a spawn(even to 2nd level) get raided, die...and STILL come out with 120's and arties!!!

 

[It Lives]

nope it does not .

Re: Players having 190+ HP [Needs fixing asap]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahh, I see.

It's definitely an exploit of some kind then.
No doubt about it.


And see even you'll admit to cheating going on and wonder why less is done for the play style of fel. There'll be a balance with what things can be done between the lands when they start to police the game. Sure your not going to hold your breath on that either. Go back to the 190+ post and see it was all a Hoax and still got plp going. I'm not going to fall into the start of a bicycle race if someone is there on a motorcycle to race. Thats why a load of old and new players wont have anything to do with fel. Putting unique content for fel only will get no fan fare from old players. And the unstable new player may find a better thing to do with 10$ a month.

I still find this game cheeper then golf or a bass boat payment.
