Time limit on lvl 7 tmaps?

[Gunsmoke]

was doing a lvl 7 tmap in fel. and yes got alot of frost dragons!!! so in about in an hr there where 70 items in chest and POOF.. it all deleted!!! i looked up tring to figure that out but i under the rules of cartography it says nothing about a time limit.

Its not a time limit on the tmap itself, Just anything that's one the ground or in a box on the ground disappears after about 45min to an hour. I would suggest if you cant kill the dragons fast enough, drag them away and loot the rest.

You have to kill the stuff that pops (guardians) or you cannot loot the chest, you cannot just drag them off.

Yikes. Theoretically possible to get 8 frost dragons at once, I suppose. I've had 3 at once, and that map took almost 40 minutes to solo.

I think if I'd encountered that many frost dragons I'd have put out a call for some help, either in Alliance chat or general chat.

Why solo-ing in a mmorpg?
Play Ultima 7 if you like this.

if your using a dragon - a trick for frost dragons is to keep him from flying crazy when he gets low on health is to constantly click him attacking him with your character. that will keep him in 1 place for your dragon to finish him off. (personally I use WOD to finish him)

That's a bummer to lose the chest, but at the same time... Level 7 maps are probably not meant to be solo'ed. Gotta come up with a plan to attack/segregate spawn and then share some of the booty accordingly.

As a "change of pace" the guild I belong to will have a T-map dig as our weekly guild hunt. We all kill the spawn, but we go down the list, with each chest in order "belonging" to someone. It works out pretty well.

We used to do something like this in UWF as well as an unofficial guild hunt, whereby one member would usually have a handful of level 5 and level 6 t-maps and just go run them with the group... each person getting their own chest. It's a good learning experience too, as maps will often put you in places you hadn't known about or been to in a long time, in addition to having younger players develop an understanding of the entire treasure hunting process.

Personally, I feel the loot could use a little tweaking... although that goes to be said about a lot of areas about this game. It's still a fun process for everyone to learn.

I agree about the loot. It would be nice to have a little better shot at a few "high end" items with each lvl 6 or 7 chest. Especially the Tram and Fel ones!

Play Ultima 7 if you like this.

Because the loot in chests - even L7 - isn't good enough to make a group hunt worthwhile. There are solo activities in this game - look at a lot of abyss spawns

Because I like soloing t-maps, been doing it since 1999. Buzz off, killjoy.

Not everybody has the luxury of playing in groups. I get 2-3 hours each week to play games, usually at 6-9am Saturday mornings.

That understandable... but we shouldn't simplify everything to be solo-able for that reason. Otherwise it would take the challenge away from the people who do want to do these higher level maps in a group.

You mean there's *nothing else* that requires multiple people to accomplish? While I solo L7 maps, I've never been able to do "the roof", shadowguard, myrmadex, and champ spawns.

And where did you read that we should "simplify everything?" That's a straw man you setup and knocked down all by yourself. You shouldn't be able to solo your own logical fallacies, you should be forced to do that in a group.

Not grouping has nothing to do with the difficulty of the map. You can't do groups with t-maps anymore because the loot is so ****ty no one wants to do em!!!

You might have a hard time soloing Scalis as well - a great group endeavor with loot that makes it worthwhile

there aren't enough people on baja to get help to do a level 7. You have to solo most things...it's just the way the game is going.
