Invasion in the Solen Hive

When does it end? It's already been 3 days since we can't enter, I've already died several times and lost my triton. I have to get the powder of translocation, should I buy it? It is unacceptable to block such an important location for so many days. In the cities one can go to the bank in another city but not down there. I've been there at all hours of the day and night but it's always the same and there are wizards who cast spells on you and kill you in the blink of an eye. I am tired. When will you vacate that place? I'm almost tempted to go back to the Catskills, some things wouldn't happen there.

The invasion will be around for a few more weeks.

Are you not entertained?? :eek:

These events have always clicked on a bit too long. This particular thing will probably be around until the next publish.

This is usually the end date, or close to. So right now it's showing we still have a little over one month.
But that is a place where there must be many, and even many, I died several times. It's not like a city, where you can run away and go somewhere else if you need something. I have to go there to get the powder, I certainly don't buy it. Blocking a place where you can't escape is absurd. It will mean that, since luckily I still have the house in the Catskills and some good characters, I'll go there and get what I need from the other server. And then I decide if I stay there again.

But it's also in the Catskills!! And of course I died there too. They are not normal monsters, they cast spells on you and even if you are with a pet they will kill you. Let's hope this time we don't lose the triton. I don't play anymore. I'm fed up

You can do the quest in Fel, if you need to.
I read the publish notes and stocked up in the days before it started.

I don't read much mainly because I don't understand English well. However, I saw that everything is calm on Europa. I'll do the quest there. However, the Solen Hive are special, you can't escape like in the cities. Once you enter the Lich Lords it only takes a moment to kill you and you can't escape anywhere. I don't like it at all :(

I understand your connection might not be great but you could be mounted (or gargoyle flying) with invis precasted and run through if you absolutely need to. Another option would be to go to Fel where there isn't any spawn and if I had to guess would be empty from any other players to grief you or PK.

You complain a lot...and every time someone responds with trying to help you, you shoot it down with another complaint as to why their solution wont work for YOU. Might be time to take a break.

I apologize if that sounded harsh, but maybe re-read each of your two topics. Multiple people have tried to help you. In fact you've gotten more traction and help than Ive seen on this forum in awhile yet its not good enough in your replies. Get some fresh air friend. You are playing a game with alot of other people, its not going to be exactly the way YOU want it. And you know this, you've been here a long time which makes the complaining all the more puzzling.

Sorry if I'm bothering you again but there's something strange that I would like someone to explain to me. On Europa I thought there wasn't an invasion in the solen Hive but there is. Very few monsters, I could do it alone. But suddenly a red guy came and immediately cast a spell on me. I ran away but I wondered why a red character could stay in the solen hive of Trammel. He wasn't a monster. I don't remember what it was called. As soon as he saw me he turned around, I saw him casting a spell on me (so it was a person, not a monster) but I ran away immediately, I was almost next to the exit. So can the reds also stay in Trammel? This sounds new to me. And I was in Trammel for sure. Shouldn't it be impossible for a red to stay in Trammel? Have things changed with this invasion?

I searched a lot but I only found Neira the Necromancer. Who is the Necro Boss?
Next week I can send a guy over to lead you around the hives, I need some drops on Atlantic and would like some colored plants.

What are drops? The translator tells me 'gocce'. Do you mean rare seeds?

Is the Solen Hive constantly populated with event enemies? I've done a number of invasions now and the town criers always direct towards one of the main cities, never to the hive, so I've not been down there.

It seems when the current town invasion ends, the underground invasion ends too. Small break before it starts back up again.

@Ivory Norwind I think it would be a good idea if, when there are publish notes on uo.com, you put them through the translator so that you have some idea what is going on in the game.

Catching up on threads...this didn't age well! They played a great game against ASU and held their own against OSU for about 2.5 quarters but OSU was too angry after losing to Michigan to be beat again this year lol.

For once I decided to go to a city that was being invaded. But as soon as I try to kill one monster another comes along and takes it out from under me. But do you have so much fun acting like idiots???

Translates to:

you only have to harm, not kill, to get credit for drops, everyone runs around doing a little damage, everyone gets drops.
After about 2,000 drops, this is good to know! (part time also). :)

I can't even make a drop. I don't know how the translator translates but I can't even TOUCH a monster :(

Melee is different. You need a macro for hitting monsters. Classic client, or Enhanced client. You will have a lot deaths but you will learn how to use they keys correctly. Also you need to fight some paragons, for more of a chance for drops. Also touch the luck statue to get your luck up and this will help a bit. You just got to persist.
:
Il corpo a corpo è diverso. Hai bisogno di una macro per colpire i mostri. Client classico o client avanzato. Avrai un sacco di morti, ma imparerai come usare correttamente le chiavi. Inoltre devi combattere alcuni esemplari, per avere più possibilità di drop. Tocca anche la statua della fortuna per aumentare la fortuna e questo ti aiuterà un po'. Devi solo persistere.

Stop complaining. Except that sometimes I feel so bad about it that I can't stop writing. But sorry everyone. Next time I try to write I'll cut my hand :(

No. Many of us do not know what the event is like on Atlantic. Yes others hit what you are fighting. This is a fast paced event where we run from mob to mob. I see undeads, I run to the grey targeted mob. I don't notice other players. So, I hit things others were on, but I go in a different direction after that.

I have not been on Atlantic for this, the item prices dropped so, its not worth the time to miss things on LS.

On most shards there are so many mobs that you can find spots to fight alone if you want.

I noticed you want to play a Tamer.

In cities find the location where there are players coming in and out. Go 1 screen away and set up a base. In Skara it is the Docks. You can stay there with your pet, kill things on your screen, Attack things chasing the other players above.

Players tend to use the same route if it is profitable, so you leech off the ones running around being chased. They will be happy also. Help with paragons and players will bring them to you, its more profitable to kill 10 horses and hundreds of other mobs than stand there pounding on a Para Drake.

Britain has many spots, I use the bridges in different spots depending on the players.

So I have to learn a few things :) However you are right because there are always places semi-free from monsters and I can go there. Thanks for the advice, they are useful and always welcome :)
