This is the kind of thing I'm talking about, a Reason to go to Tram is Balanced out by a Reason to go to fel. It has nothing to do with whether or not You are a PvPer, or a PvMer. Most PvPers have done Both...
The timing/HP restrictions are actually in place to protect your ability to get a fair shot at the rewards from Exodus. You basically will never go into the encounter and find that Exodus has like 2 hit points left, now you are left, after collecting all of the keys, with a next-to-null chance at getting a reward. Anyone who gets on the "top attacker list" (which includes damage dealt, damage healed, and damage taken) has an equal chance at the various rewards, regardless of what party you are in.
Why not show favoritism to the greater number of customers?
Because without fel, this game would become one-sided. it might be better for non-pvpers, but it could be the "End" of UO, Show no favoritism to anyone, and keep the desire for both sides.
Numerically, the end of Fel wouldn't be the end of UO.
At this point, Obviously something isn't going "as planned", Jeff & the UO Dev team, has mentioned they are NOT (at this time) working on any expansions, they are focused on retaining the people who are still currently playing UO. To me, this is a sign that If fel dies, UO has a potential of dieing with it, (doesn't mean it's true) but... Why would it be so important to them if it wasn't the case?
Not really.
They are already catering to 75% of the UO population why wouldn't they want to add on top of that? You're telling me it's not good business to attract more people despite the facet? You're kidding yourself.
Problem is though, when it is discussed it always results in personal insults, trolling, and arguing. Rarely can it actually be "discussed" without civility being tossed out the window.
Incentives DO work. Look how many people started pvping for power scrolls. Look how many people joined factions and actually played factions when they came out with faction armor?
This is true, but when we attempt you always have someone like Galen, Jade of Sonoma, swroberts, trying to trample it down. I don't recall the last time i thwarted any of their trammel content. Why should they be so content on doing the same other than they have nothing better to do.
What do you think champ spawns were?
]
What other incentives were added for Fel, that DID NOT Work? Power-scrolls have been over-ruled saying it didn't HELP PvP, is completely NOT True, it gave Fel a Purpose other than pvp. so please, ANYONE speak up with something that did not work...
You do know I play Siege almost exclusively?
I've listed the incentives elsewhere, on many occasions. My lists have been ignored, and repeating them seems to serve no purpose, they will only be ignored again.
First of all, Spawns were actually part of ilshenar before power-scrolls were even thought of.
...I like to mess around and pvp with my "wammie" sometimes, but in all honesty I think Curse Weapon is fine the way it is. -
(yes I like to pvp with my bard sometimes too)
They have not been ignored, you have chosen to ignored them, stating that the were "Failed models" because YOU weren't interested in it. Power-scrolls and Khaldun were two things you mentioned in the list you are referring too.
You also stated- that you go to fel for "unique rewards" and were considering giving them up...
You are mis-stating me.
No, I just know how walking away will be taken.
This is like saying Trammel is a failed business model because they keep dumping "incentives" into it. I've come to the conclusion your bias against fel has no other agenda other than to argue something because you disagree with it. Feel free to to let the rest of us who would like to actually see content in fel, whether its a "failed business model" or not, continue with a productive thread toward this outcome.
I'm aware, but more specifically referring to the power scrolls as a result of killing a champ.
Yes I'm aware, and yet I fail to see your point. Siege plays with a different ruleset than most shards, though they can still access most things like a normal production shard. Otherwise, I'd imagine theyd be in favor of this, but you're not since the fel ruleset applies to the entire shard and it's facets.
That's a point the fel players have been trying to make to no avail. Fel IS NOT insta-pk death. There is almost 0 risk of being PK'd.which shard do u tough mother pk reds play on??? because i run all over europa in felluca...not yew gate or the champ spawn areas ....but damn were everywere else in full visible....and iam a true blue...as u hard nuts would call me.... and have only come to grief maybe a half dozen times in last 5-6 years?...erm thats once per year??? [
So fel is not readily available to all players? It most certainly is. Desire to not go to fel does NOT mean the inability.
