How about they just make a all fel shard where good pvpers can ACTUALLY just transfer to and get off the shards filled with tram people wanting scrolls to drop in tram?
Why would a new player need a powerscroll, if they're new they're not going to be power training any skills to the cap because they firstly wouldn't know how and secondly wouldn't have the money to.
There is a huge gap between being a new player and needing a powerscroll.
I'd be up for that... And NO, Siege is NOT the answer.How about they just make a all fel shard where good pvpers can ACTUALLY just transfer to and get off the shards filled with tram people wanting scrolls to drop in tram?
Somethings you need to consider, not all players want to buy things, they like to get the items/skills/experience for themselves. They like seeing it pop in there pack and going NICE that's the scroll/artie I was looking for, and yes they even enjoy the DAMN what a junk scroll/artie.It sucks to be on the receiving end of a raid, believe me I’ve been there many times so I sympathise with you. That being said, I’ve learned that there are ways to avoid this, the main one being, speed.
If you got raided in the lost lands on a quiet shard then there’s a good chance you were too slow.
Again though, are you missing the fact that you can farm arties/gold/items/replicas in the safety of Tram to get your PS? Is this something that people can’t grasp, or are you just choosing not to consider it as an option?
Do some spawns in Ilsh till you get some nice replicas…sell them…pay for powerscrolls needed… Easy.
Or, continue to spawn in fel but improve your technique, recruit a few more bodies and get in and out before the reds even know your there…
That’s really your two options.
Option 3 where we just tramelise powerscrolls like every single other aspect of the game isn’t available. Sorry.
It's broken for some, and not for others, age old arguement, neither side will win. You can say it til you're blue in the face, in the end, most won't care anyways.power scroll system isn't broke, and this post is just a troll to get people pancakes one way or the other.
Why do they need scrolls?Thing is, that it does not take much time to train a skill up to 100.0.
Therefore, as I see it, it will not be much time before a new player needs to start looking for a 105 or 110 which, with the current status of things, after scrolls of binding, can be a nightmare to be found.
correct,there is no such thing like pvp in uoOnce more this morning on Drachenfels, I popped Rikktor when an american guild (or so they said, they couldn't spell even their name right, go figure....) popped in and stole the boss.
I'm REALLY tired of being jumped when I spawn the boss and it doesn't matter if I'm alone or with the whooping 3 people in my guild, we do not stand a chance, there is NO PvP, it's plain stealing, period.
Do you think people are going to pay their monthly fee to be stolen from?
This system is broken. It's being exploited like everything has been exploited in UO for 12 years.
Only fools mention risk vs reward, there's no RISK for who steals the spawn and there's no reward for whom worked to have it spawn.
Beyond silly!
So they made tram for all the cry babies that don't want to get their pixles killed, now it sounds to me that you all want your cake and eat to too. I really hope all them tears your all shedding don't ruin your keyboardscorrect,there is no such thing like pvp in uo
surrounded by a bulk of monsters,half of hitpoints and bam a red jump out of the nowhere and bam dead.
what a hero,those people say that uo has the best pvp system,lol, only those people can say this![]()
Why do they need scrolls?
You can attack the same at either.Perhaps because so they can enlarge the number of MoBs they can attack at 105 or 110 versus 100 ??

Hmm, isn't a sign of dictatorship. Stifle anyone that raises up a topic that might cause discussion for change. Then again I didn't expect much from a group of people that want to monopolize a part of the game and are afraid to give up a tiny little bit.QFT. Wish I was a Stratics Mod, I'd just ban people like this OP on first offense, haha.
LOL I just had this hilarious mental picture of groups of pvpers in identical clothes and armor goose-stepping about fel. Not that the pvp community could ever get that organized or go more than 3 whole seconds without attacking each other! Still...LMAO!Hmm, isn't a sign of dictatorship.

Its not about buying them, when will people understand it. Also good luck finding them that often now.105-110's cost like 10k....
ive been getting, finding, and selling them more than EVER now that scroll binders exist.Its not about buying them, when will people understand it. Also good luck finding them that often now.105-110's cost like 10k....
And because these people would prefer to see an item pop into their pack we are supposed change the game for them and deprive PvPrs of the only items they have to fight over in game? Very thin argument.Somethings you need to consider, not all players want to buy things, they like to get the items/skills/experience for themselves. They like seeing it pop in there pack and going NICE that's the scroll/artie I was looking for, and yes they even enjoy the DAMN what a junk scroll/artie.
So you’re saying here that Tram players are not very good at doing spawns and refuse to learn game mechanics so they can improve? So why should we feel the need to pander to them? This is a game and you have to play it to win, easy mode is available, they can sit in tram, farm and generate enough gold to buy scrolls. If they want the pleasure of seeing the scrolls drop in their pack, as you have inferred in your point above, then they will need to step out of their comfort zone.Now for the speed aspect of the game, I don't know if you noticed but a lot of Tram players are not that quick with game mechanics and play. Some don't care to learn all the aspects to make things faster others can not, it might be disabilities or a number of things. So for Tram players to get together and defeat a raid its almost impossible.
That’s fine with me, as I mentioned earlier on in the thread I’ve not got a problem with the Tram ruleset spawns dropping 105s and 110s.The idea of putting 6 minor scrolls in a Tram spawn is not going to effect anything for it will take along time to get the ones they need to make what they want. Its no big deal, and the low chance drop of a replica hasn't worked in keeping those champ spawns active. Which in turn does not train people on how to do things and want to venture to Fel.
Edit: Oh... I see... you mean... BUY them off from those who jump me?Again though, are you missing the fact that you can farm arties/gold/items/replicas in the safety of Tram to get your PS?
I fixed that sentance for you Mr Closed-Minded.Fel players in general have always enjoyed doing Champ spawns and certainly dont need power scrolls.
Thats very funny & hypocritical.I fixed that sentance for you Mr Closed-Minded.Fel players in general have always enjoyed doing Champ spawns and certainly dont need power scrolls.
Depending on your shard, you don't have to buy the scrolls from a raiding guild. I'm pretty sure, depending on the shard of course, that there are other vendors selling powerscrolls that didn't come from a raid.Edit: Oh... I see... you mean... BUY them off from those who jump me?
Are you serious?
Powerscrolls are a part of the game, i want to take part in all parts of the game (including PvP mind you).
If I can't, I move to a game where I can.
Simple as that.
P.S.: I just did a champ and got 6 scrolls 110![]()
if youve ever had 2 non allied guilds both do a spawn together that have both reds and blues in them you wouldn`t be saying this.Sure it can be done but it is a huge headache especially if the champ does indeed get raided.Tram guilds could also set up something with a Fel guild. Say Fel guild "protects" them while they spawn. The Tram guild gives the Fel guild something in return. Could be a cut of the scrolls, could be skulls from the champs, etc.
.
Yeah there are a few tricks to getting your scrolls even after someone has raided you and taken the spawn.....Actually EoO, there is another way even if you do get raided to keep the scrolls, even if they do kill the champ. Its worked for me twice on other shards I am on and am sure its not a glitch, but you still get some of the scrolls. Worked for me solo.
I didnt say have the Fel guild spawn with the Tram guild.. I said have the Fel guild protect the Tram guild and yes it does work. Yes, it takes a little bit more patience and it can give you a headache if done wrong, but once you figure it out, its easy as pie.if youve ever had 2 non allied guilds both do a spawn together that have both reds and blues in them you wouldn`t be saying this.Sure it can be done but it is a huge headache especially if the champ does indeed get raided.
Many pvp guilds are not willing to protect tram guilds like this but i am sure some are.If "protecting" they would get the protection scrolls and usually do want the skull depending on which champ it was [oaks = yes,,barracoon = no]
Which are?Yeah there are a few tricks to getting your scrolls even after someone has raided you and taken the spawn.....
Pap's wonderful post, you put into words what I was thinking for the most part and did it much better than I could. The only thing I would do differently is 105 and 110 from tram. I think that is fair for trammies. And the 120 and 115 coming from fel would make things better on fel. Also helping fel would be to up the percent of replicas dropping by like 3-5%.I personally wouldn`t mind if 105`s dropped in the tram champs,,however i also think that they [tram champs] be limited to 6 scrolls total per run. Regardless if one group has a `majority` of the scroll market or not.105`s dropping in tram could eventually get some trammy a 120 however it will take a very long time,which i.m.o. it should if they are not willing to try to go to fel and risk possible raid/zerg/gank/pvp. Two necro-mages and one dexxer can take out a Barracoon in under 30 minits [start of spawn to champ dropping--on toons NOT scrolled to 120 either] There are over a dozen champ alters in the lost lands that could be the ratman champ when popped.
so i.m.o. as someone said risk vs reward
HOWEVER having the 105s drop in tram could give the option for the player whom wants to make it for himself and is not willing to pvp and also not buy it from the people that would gank him/her if they could the abilty to get a 120,,,,,,just it sure would take a long freekin time.
i think the 110`s 115`s and 120`s should stay in fel personally
I`d like to point out a few things here though,,part of the argument for all scrolls to stay in fel isn't what anyone here has posted at all,,it boils down to this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"non consensual PVP"
people who do enjoy PVP and[notice the and this is not all pvp`ers] like to do
ganks
zergs
hax
pwning newby players [or anyone whom obviosly cannot pvp]
these people merely cannot stand the fact that tram exhists
they cannot stand the fact that they cannot force "non consensual PVP"
onto people....these are the people who say "get rid of tram"
now if 120`s did drop in tram then indeed there would be no reason for the tram only players to step into fel at all and therefore there would be less easy targets for the PK gankers out there and `hurts the fel side of the game`for
these people as they could not continue to prey on trammies.
HOWEVER
there indeed should be a reason to be in fel in the 1rst place,,,the powerscrolls ARE that reason [that whole risk vs reward thingy]
and if the only reason for the trammy to go to fel is removed then pvp in UO would become as pointless as the Yew gate fighting
Factions in theory was made to give some sort of `meaning` to pvp but in practice most guilds [including my own] lost complete interest in holding a town/sigils after they get their faction warhorses.
Get rid of fel???,,,,,No way,,,bad idea
Get rid of tram??,,,,No way,,,bad idea
120`s in tram champs??,,,,,No way,,,bad idea
105`s in tram champs,,,,,i could deal with that,,,but i don`t know how many
others like that idea.
Massive quantities of beer for Paps,,,,,,,,,,best idea i think i`ve seen on stratics.
Well, for one.. when you die, come back .. dont go right to the alter or anything, but come back to the area. If you are within a certain range you will get the scrolls dropped in your pack.Which are?
Why so close minded? Don't buy them off the raiding guild buy them from the Blues that are sneaking spawns in the lost lands like you should be doingEdit: Oh... I see... you mean... BUY them off from those who jump me?
Are you serious?
exactly.Why so close minded? Don't buy them off the raiding guild buy them from the Blues that are sneaking spawns in the lost lands like you should be doing![]()
How many 110s would it take to get a 120? Just curious.Just a question.....
What do you think would happen to the scroll market if even 105's and 110's were available at Ilish and Tok spawns???
The market would get flooded. People could stay in Tram chaining the hell out of the spawns and use scroll binders to get the 120's. Great for those who need the scrolls, but extremely bad for the market itself.
In Fel theres a chance to lose the spawn, whether you are a pvp guild or not and sometimes those spawns dont even get finished. In Fel theres a check and balance for scrolls.
Well,,i`m not saying that random trammys in fel are whats keeping PVP alive,,,,i think that would be best a topic on a new thread.Indeed on Atl shard if your wanting to find a fast fight,,,yew gate or despise champ is where you go to. There are several people whom play either exclusively or almost exclusively for PVP either solo or group,and no not all of these people go after the easy kills or obvious trammys.Givin i think the Atl shard has a lot of problems regarding pvp in general [speedhacks,pot thorwing/chugging scripts/uninsure enemys items hax,faction-non faction alliances] and the common chit talking of many fellies really does keep more people away from PVP just your avg PVP`er cant see the forest for the trees in that regards.And if the only thing keeping Fel and therefore pvp alive is preying on Trammies who like you said cant or dont pvp, then there is a problem. One would think you would want a real challenge. Its like Tyson only wanting to fight low end minor featherweight class.
It takes 12 110s to make a 115 and then 10 115s to make a 120.. but my point is, if you can get the 110's in Tram, there are people out there who have the time to chain spawn all day and all night and some guilds are big enough to have people doing this 24/7.How many 110s would it take to get a 120? Just curious.
110 X 10 = 115How many 110s would it take to get a 120? Just curious.
You know, most of the time when they say this they are full of it right? Thats what my old guild use to say to ppl too when we stole their spawns on Origin.110 X 10 = 115
115 X 10 = 120
So 100, 110 scrolls to make a single 120. And there are people whinning like its the end of the world or I just suggested that they completely remove pvp.
EoO, yep thats exactly what I was talkin about, quite funny actually isint it? Especially when you get a 120 magery and throw it in their face in Luna "Yea you raided and killed me but I stealthed back, heres what I got, thanks!"
I doubt 110 being in tram would hurt anything that much. The people that do fel champs now would probably still do it. I know my guild will. So saying the market would die isint accurate and its not like all guilds everywhere would be farming tram champs. Sure maybe at first, but I will bet they get tired of it within the first two weeks to a month and move on. Just like peerless.
Yea but I put it in a trade window for Dread to seeYou know, most of the time when they say this they are full of it right? Thats what my old guild use to say to ppl too when we stole their spawns on Origin.
rofl they deserve it, but thats getting off topic lolYea but I put it in a trade window for Dread to see![]()
