Sorcerers Dungeon turned off

[Pawain]

I thought we have extended time. @Kyronix @Bleak

I have Jacks room to myself and was running from a paragon and the rest of the dungeon popped up...

Jack still there.

Things are still spawning in groups. Scratch that. Just Lich types and blood eles. No more drops.

Turn it back on @Larisa

 

[Dot_Warner]

Same on GL. But the drops appear to have stopped as well..

 

[Dot_Warner]

Not going to sugar coat this, it's a major when they can't get something as simple as an end date changed in the code.

 

[DevilsOwn]

well this is pretty poopy

 

[Riyana]

Are skeletons and pumpkins still on?

 

[Pawain]

Are skeletons and pumpkins still on?

I got the last pumpkin on LS from a grim in sorc dungeon. The fields are off.

 

[Dot_Warner]

The cemeteries are still generating named skeletons on GL.

 

[Pawain]

I just killed all the skeles at Cove. No new ones appeared. But maybe no one is dying since the dungeon is off.

Jacks bag still works

Trick or Treat still on.

 

[Luc of Legends]

After 20 YEARS ....Did you expect them to



PANCAKES NO! Please, what makes you think this Dev Team is special?

They ALL lie.

Once Again its Rares Community 1 - The REST of Us 0

 

[Sweetpeez]

Da Skellys still going on Chessy but not da dungeon. Demz probably hab it set to go off and furgot aboot it. Meez tinkz wif all da angry emails demz wakez up tooz it will be back on soon.

 

[Luc of Legends]

Is it me are the only people that BENEFIT from these events are the Rare Sellers? I mean seriously, everyone had pancakes getting drops.

I promise you in 24 hours there will be no less than 10 turd blossoms selling the event items for no less than 1 Platinum a piece.

Oh, and GOD FORBID anyone do something totally selfless and get a set for someone that wants one but can't eat-sleep-breathe and POOP UO

for a solid month. I personally think that ALL Event Items should be available for sale in the store, after the event at least that way there is revenue coming in for UO.

 

[Cinderella]

maybe they switched the wrong code off
trick or treating was supposed to stop, not sorcerers dungeon

you can still trick or treat and spawn skeletons on Sonoma

 

[Tildi Daintree]

Terort Skitas has the regualar spawn turned back on.
But the 2nd level is insane now....
Not only is the regular spawn back on, but all the Halloween spawn as well.
While you are fighting in front, 8 things re-spawn behind you!
& drop rate seems reduced.
Is this intended @Kyronix @Bleak ?

Please don't make excuses for them. Honestly as someone getting her Bachelor's of Science in Business Information Technology I find their actions embarrassing

I am having to take this Ethics class for IT Majors, and from what I have been taught their ethics are questionable.

All they have to do is find the end date for the counter in the code. The worst coder on the planet could do it!

This really, Really, REALLY irks me.

 

[Philly]

And 1 hour later ATl has not come back up =[ =[ =[ =[ Wonder how big of a revert today? been losing 15 to 30 minutes in reverts every morning.

 

[Pawain]

Is it me are the only people that BENEFIT from these events are the Rare Sellers? I mean seriously, everyone had pancakes getting drops.

What events? I have over 300 points and have chosen all the physical items except ring and boots. I gave someone a set of the jacks bag goodies last night because they were sad the dungeon turned off.

Make some friends. Thats the best way to get what you dont have time for.

Now if you are talking about the pink spider, ignore this post.

 

[Drakelord]

Sonoma was turned off this morning as well, full-size normal spawning inside the dungeon, pumpkin patches are gone, there are named bones at the GYs but no Butchers so I am assuming that is off as well.

 

[GarthGrey]

I can't be the only one surprised by this ? I know I keep saying this, but it keeps ringing true. Unless it's a M&G , this dev team does not look at this game from a player perspective.

Nothing surprises me anymore. Glad we got what we wanted and a few extra. Didn't plan on that extra two weeks anyway to be honest.
But how hard could it have been to change a date in a line of code?

"I am having to take this Ethics class for IT Majors, and from what I have been taught their ethics are questionable."


Very very VERY "mildly" put. My IT ethics class would have called their tactics "horrible". Using the "spaghetti code" excuse is as lame as can be, as well. Once you are hired as the subject matter (code) expert, its your JOB to get to KNOW the code, inside and out, upside and down. Even the high school level IT classes teach one to do the work before posting about the results. Posting about the extension without actually coding the extension......amateurish wannabe's......at best.

After many years of Halloween in UO I made sure I started the content as soon as I could, ended up only playing maybe 1.5 hours a night. I now have more Halloween stuff than I have ever gotten in previous Halloween events. I actually stopped doing the content two weeks back I have so much of it.

It just amazes me when content is turned off early or not, how soooo many long time players are (surprised) If you do not know, this happens every year for any content drop.

 

[Tina Small]

Took a gander in the Sorcerer's Dungeon on Arirang, since it was one of the shards that had a big delay in even getting the content there. What I found is that the normal dungeon spawn is occurring and there is still a nightmare fairy in her normal room. Researcher NPC is still outside.



Balhae is similar, except that I couldn't find any of the bosses from the Halloween content. Ran the whole dungeon and none of them were to be found. Researcher NPC is still outside, though.

 

[Uriah Heep]

If they do like the did for doom and kotl, the researcher will stay there for turnins until next halloween event.

 

[Cailleach]

On Europa, Jack is in his room & the usual dungeon spawn seems to have joined him for a meal. Main course being 'player surprise' ...

 

[Tina Small]

Pretty shabby deal for the shards that got the content two weeks late.

 

[Mene (DF)]

This is no longer a Bug-Fest - this is meanwhile a really fat Worm-Hole!
And I'm sure that Endless Journey will become a black hole

Same on Drachenfels again - normal spawn is back, no longer bosses, NPC is outside.

 

[Capt. Lucky]

Not going to sugar coat this, it's a major when they can't get something as simple as an end date changed in the code.

Pushed to get my last item, the Jack in the Box, yesterday because I actually assumed it would screw up.

 

[Capt. Lucky]

Mistakes happen. I think BS will make it right. Might not be normal till tomorrow though. Just my guess

i think he means the actual "of enchanted origin drops". as a collector, i didnt bother with the turn rewards. the individual items will be alot harder to find, and personally i think they are alot nicer. good name and 2 tone color.

Greetings All,

Starting with European shards on 11/1/2017 the issue with the drops in the Sorcerer’s Dungeon will be resolved with this evening’s maintenance. All other shards will receive the fix during regularly scheduled maintenance period.

Jack was out and I was the only one there on LS. One more batch of group spawn happened and then normal spawn. Jack was still protecting his space.

So if the boss was not out, you wont find it on a shard.

Lets see what happens when they turn it back on. Will it reset everything and start fresh or will there be an issue with that extra boss.

Glad we have more time!!! Maybe the Artisan Festival will start right after that.
