Shadowlord Manifestations: Spawn timer reduced to two hours

[Draconi]

Shadowlord Manifestations will now spawn at two hour intervals instead of twelve.

That's... pretty much it, yeah, sure, that's all we changed. Heh.

 

[kelmo]

Thanks! I think... *wonders what is up the sleeve*

 

[miss uo]

I knew thats what happened.

 

[Winker]

Nice one, A wise move!

 

[Gwendolynne]

Thank you. This should be posted on the UO Herald.

 

[Xalan Dementia]

that bold part worries me ... you're too darn sneaky for our own good. there's a sus-prize in there somewhere.

 

[DevilsOwn]

yeah, it's that little 'heh' that scares ya

 

[phantus]

Ahh...good. Not only were they spawning at bad time but they were really too easy. One would assume both have been address.


Good show ole man!

 

[Maximilliean]

Excellent. Thank you.

 

[DevilsOwn]

time change just confirmed on Legends

but I noticed no change in his strength, so if there are other changes I don't know what it is

 

[Lady_Calina]

Yay! TY!

Great thanks! Now those new robes will be worth about as much as a monk's robe in about two weeks. Caving to the whiners again...... Way to go!!!!

 

[Demonous]

good, now people will probably buy blackrock from my vendor

Ahhh...there it is. Was waiting for you to speak up toolone..er..slaveone. The UHall never lets ya down. :loser:

Having them spawn ever 12 hours, real life, was just way to wrong. People want to play the game not pay those players that can play at server up and then again 12 hours later. Some folks have real life matter to care for, work, children, spouse, etc.. It is these folks that want a chance to earn their rewards in game like anyone else. I am glad they changed the times for all to be able to get a chance at getting that golden ring on the merry go round.

 

[Zodia]

The "change" Draconi hints at seems to be that they no longer spawn all at the same time at their 3 locations. They spawn randomly about 10 minutes apart. At least this is what I have experienced just now on Legends.

I don't like this change myself because previously it spread people out over the 3 locations. Now when one is killed, everyone (and their 100 dragons) goes to the next location and so the crowds aren't dispersed.

I couldn't agree more. Why give those of us that have responibilities outside a video game any chance at participating in this event. They should just let those that can afford to play all day and night have the oppourtunity. They should just make all events trigger on 12 hour real life cycles. After all, you need to have your pixilated wealth.

Sorry you're not going to get virtual rich off this event, but for those of us that have a life outside this game, we thank the Devs for allowing us to be able to participate.

Once again, sorry you're only doing this for the wealth factor. Don't worry too much though. I am sure you can find some other item to get rich off of.

No offense Grumm bet everything turns out to be worthless in the end. Dont forget the 1000's of cloaks from last event that are being turned in.

Dont forget people were getting double the robes, for hours, yesterday.

The robes were destined to be worthless.


I want a faster spawn for the other items. Dyes and Mempo.

Hopefully, youre selling your robes now while the selling is good and can buy back what you need later.

Or sell, get gold, and buy some more expensive items you might need.

There is a ShadowLord at the waste on Lake Austin. I don't think I can kill it alone. Where are you, Lake Austin people?

maybe post at the LA forum?

 

[Helfgrim]

This is a relief, my work schedule won't let me be in game at 4:30 am and pm. I may have a chance myself now!

=) I don't think that would help, really. =)

I don't like this change myself because previously it spread people out over the 3 locations. Now when one is killed, everyone (and their 100 dragons) goes to the next location and so the crowds aren't dispersed.

And the pets can't enter the house of the Waste when there's too many people. And even if they're inside, if they haven't a path to the Shadowlord, they go nuts and stand outside doing nothing.

Good luck to the players who can only play at peek hours! :/

Oh thats great news, thanks!

I normally don't whine...but there are quite a few people who do work and the times were impossible for those to participate and besides "WHO" said the
robes were suppose to be rare and expensive?

Oh and a huge to Draconi for the changes. Hopefully,
they will be beefed up as well.

 

[Lord Drakelord]

ok I love the two hours, but hate the 10 minutes between the three, when they all spawn at same time then they had three places to be at one time, with the 10 minute spawn between them, then there is time to kill one, recall to 2nd one, kill it, then recall to third location kill it.

I agree with you, I wish they all spawned at the same time.

Thank you very much for reducing the timer getting up at 4:30AM to kill them was making me cranky.

Yeah they simultaneously made it easier AND harder for people to get the cloaks. Easier because the 2 hour timer, but harder because you are now competing against far more people than if the 3 locations all spawned at once.

The shadowlord manifestations die so fast -- its a mass of dragons and then death. If they want to help the casual player (or non-tamers) make them all spawn at once.

 

[Miri of Sonoma]

*sighs*

Again I have to ask what are they thinking? The 10 minute intervals seems just plain mean spirited to me. I really dont know what to think about it. *shakes her head*

 

[twoburntfouryou]

I am not on either side but as the old saying goes " Be careful what you ask for. You might just get it"

 

[jbfortune]

Its easy with a good GD. Well, Kinda. I've killed 3 now and got 2 cloaks. There have been loads of peoplaround too

 

[Maplestone]

*looks at screenshot of swarm of players converging like piranha upon the newly spawned shadowlord*

hmm ... that whole ToT "distraction" of theirs isn't working all that well any more.

 

[phantus]

The swarms will die down once people start getting cloaks. The first week will be cramped but in a week or so everyone should get a chance.

Seems to be the method of choice...

bah its great news for siege! no trammie insurance.... I can wear my cloak now!

 

[Coppelia]

The majority of players already have at least one cloak apparently.
There'll be less players when those who want a fixed number of cloak will stop. Also a general boredom will probably come when the euphory of first days will fade out.

 

[Lynk]

How is the loot on them, and do they hit too hard for a sampire to tank?

 

[phantus]

Like a DF I'd say. I have seen or heard of any set pieces or arties spawning on them though. Sampire should be able to tank them fairly easy. They aren't quite tough enough.

Where do these guys spawn at?

I will be there when I can to kill them, because well, they are there.

I've been on hand for the death of 9 so far and I've gotten 8 dyes and a chest of heirlooms. No cloak yet, but I still have like 25 after doing turn ins.

But... 600+ drops, no mempo. Awesome. Think I'll add to my sig.

 

[DevilsOwn]

NuSair, I have a buddy on Legends that, the last time I heard, was at 740+ sumpin with no mempo.... small consolation, I know

 

[Lord Crowen]

588. You're not alone.

 

[Farsight]

Loot is Dark Father loot or Crimson Dragon loot. A lot of 8th circle scrolls and reagents, plus high end item loot (or as high as it goes).

As far as tanking goes... would you tank this?

In other words, they're pussycats. A pack horse could tank them.
