I brought that up. Its a daily rotation of some Mobs. They will be back. Thanks for the info.
I haven't bothered with any of these events because I know they are just a grind and a very boring one at that and poorly designed to the point where the power gaming script running bots will be the only ones getting stuff and everyone else will be bored to tears waiting for the 1 thing to spawn every 5 to 10 min (at which point someone will come running through and kill it before you even know it's there, because you became so bored your off watching youtube while you wait)... and you will get maybe 30 drops in 30 days... these things are designed to be "fun" but really for the average player who doesn't cheat... it is just nothing but frustration and dealing with a massive amount of griefers... I am done with that sort of gameplay... in my opinion, it's a toxic environment... which I just don't need at this point in my life. Not to mention the fact that they will run through drag all the paragons onto people to grief them... and disappear while you are left to kill all the paragons that don't have any better chance at giving you a drop than the tiny hell hound... or a slime... It's a joke.
I have a hard time connecting the dots here with these types of statements. You don't bother with the events... but it's a grind.. and poorly designed?
This simply isn't a true statement.
The spawn rate was constant in almost all areas of the dungeons where these types of events have been held. For the Deceit event, getting 20-30 drops in two hours of consistent play time wasn't much of a problem if you were a skilled player. Especially with the potion the developers released to increase the drop rate.
Massive amount of griefers? That is a massive overstatement.
Your opinion would carry more weight if you did not start off by saying you don't bother with these events - yet then give several examples of how bad they are.
In the last two events, dealing with the paragons was a challenge. That's what made it fun. People weren't intentionally dragging them all around on purpose the entire time. The example you describe is something that would happen rarely at most, and usually only because someone was near death and running away and spawn just happened to follow.
Simply not true.
Simply not true.
You are the one who has no clue about things... I've played on my shard for over 20 years... I know who's on it and what they do... they are the same people who script 4 and 5 characters either archer bots, tamers, or whatever at events much like the invasion events... who grabbed all the mages in the first 10 seconds with their bot scripts running and then use one character to start luring everything else onto anyone who tried to fight one of the mages... these are the same people who used the luring tactics in Khaldun... who would run in pull everything in the area down to the front watch everyone die and then bring in their packs of characters and gather up all the drops killing everything while everyone else had to go get rezed... THEY are the reason I don't bother with this **** anymore because I know they will be there.So in other words, you've never tried it, don't know what you're talking about - but it's boring and poorly designed?
Unreal.
These events have been a breath of fresh air over the last couple of years. Moving them to different locations has been a challenge. The rewards have been worth while... maybe not every single on of them... but definitely some game changers that have contributed to template diversity.
Another false conspiracy theory you believe in only because you didn't do any of the other events
Again, you open up with how you don't even bother with these events, but then claim to know everything about them and rip on them.
A statement that only exists in your fantasy world.
Considering you also hate on Atlantic and don't play that shard, whatever other shard you're on shouldn't be a problem to farm these events.
Your opinion? You mean the one where you don't do these events at all but have a comment about how terrible they are?
In the last event, dealing with the paragons was a challenge. That's what made it fun. People weren't intentionally dragging them all around on purpose the entire time.
Just another one of your negative hater statements based in no reality considering you claim you do not do these events.
Simply not true. You don't know what you're talking about.
Simply not true. More talk coming out of your back side.

@MalagAste - One of the most pathetic and misleading posts I have seen in a while on Stratics. I am not sure why you are here on these forums. Very little truth in much of anything you said. You are complaining just to complain before this event has even fully released.
You react too personally, and get too emotional about it all, just play your game, stop worrying about what you perceive everyone else to be doing.
You realize you sound just like Keith sounds about RMT right? "If you enjoy it, you probably cheat or are a griefer" lol.
I will contend that the green-yellow for this event reminds me of GoT, but Solaria is a Dark Monk from the original game. Her earrings are prominent:
Same....i just want a plate and a bone set
You do realize that it's very likely that the accounts you are upset with, probably belong to a gold seller, right? Just sayin'.
I'm not sure exactly what similarity there is, but do you realize that RMT's ARE still against the UO ToS?
Fire ants and lava elementals added for day 3.
Am just saying we did not ask for your opinion. No one mentioned Gold Sellers or RMT in this thread we all know you have a thing for them.
It is directly related to the subject. You indicated that you were upset with the scripters in the event dungeons. I simply gave the probable reason for them being there. PS Kevin brought up my Anti-RMT stance before I mentioned it (his post #61).
Dungeon is on lets go kill stuff!yooz must own uh glue faktory wif all dem horsies yooz beat to death....
Lol. Too funny. Fire Dungeon now has significant Opposing Slayer Group monsters. Lava Elemental Paragons (get your Para Chests from them while you can) would be fairly powerful, are vulnerable to Elemental Slayer, while Paragon Balrons and Succubi can also spawn there, and are vulnerable to Demon Slayer. Get a Para Lava Elemental and Para Balron/Succubus on you at same time, you're going to be taking double damage from one of them with a Slayer equipped. I'd rather take double damage from the Para Lava Elemental, than the Para Balron/Succubus.
So wanting to see this. Devs please release the hyper-pyromanic fowl.Just wait until they introduce the Paragon Phoenix
You aren't lying. I think they used a paragon of a paragon balron... I'm 75/75/80 phys/fire/energy resist and while riding a paroxy swampie I'm getting hit for 50hp with a single hit (not including spells). Very nasty.
It is very sad that the good part of the event that the rewards are "meh" enough where you do not have to do it if you don't want to. This has been my experience as well - we either get good rewards and then I have to contend with mind-numbing daily grind which makes me sick of UO for many months. Or the rewards are lame enough where I can feel relief that I don't need to bother. This looks to be the second kind. The ostard is so gimped on points, it is not worth the 120s, much less the points.I personally like the rewards not too overpowering like the first Deceit event, players not really forced to do the event if they don't bother with the rewards. My 2cents
I went overboard with the deceit events but didn't bother too much with the Ice ones... so.... I still think it's a good thing
Soloed a Para Fire Daemon and Balron at the same time last night on my Macer/Paladin. Stagger FTW. -60% SSI debuff for 10 secs on melee heavy enemies is huge. The Fire Daemon Paragons deal 60 damage Firebreath to 70 Fire Resist. They also have a Fire Aura, which will make them target switch to any Tamer that tries to vet heal their pet. My Macer actually has a harder time against the Para Succubus, since they have a more aggressive spellcasting AI, which Stagger doesn't neuter.
