I think you are being just a little presumptuous of the scope of these changes honestly. I really don't think things are going to change very much. The people who like
t-hunting will keep doing it (solo, as people have been doing on test, and even more so when the barding thing is fixed), people who don't regularly t-hunt probably will for a month or two, or less, then go back to what they normally do. As it is with all new changes.

I don't think anyone will need new templates (might need to work mining, which isn't such a big deal), and I doubt highly that the loot will ever get adjusted down because its already way less quality than what you can imbue. But it's a nice boost for those who do like the treasure hunting system.

As for templates changing once they get popular, lots of times when things do get overly popular its because they are overpowered, or imbalanced in some manner the development team didn't anticipate. These things happen in an ongoing game, things change and evolve.
Hope you're right:)

Somehow, I doubt that barding has been turned off for treasure hunting. Seems to me that just because spawn in some regions isn't effected by barding abilities doesn't reflect an intent. It is merely representative of the monsters selected that are common to the region they exist.

Please actually go test it yourselves before rambling on about how much you got screwed. Or at least be willing to accept that due to templates YOU CHOSE, there are some aspects of the game you won't be able to solo. Get friends together and go do it.

Either way, I'm tired of this nonsensical whining. I pity people that pay to play a game and then use their invested funds to just come here and cry. If you don't like it, you are cordially invited to invest your money elsewhere. It matters not to me.

Ok ....

To enter into popps debait, I Solo lvl 6s. This I do on Origin,Napa,Oceania. My Thunter's are not 120 anything and did fine. That was till the new changes..... (Each has different template so its not just one style that was able to solo.)

On Origin I have my second T hunter, Vip can do anything - he is a glutton for death if it comes to it. So with that said ..... here is the exerp from last nights 3 lvl 6 maps.
(note to all: Maps to the new areas are few an far between just yet so I am sticking to Tram for this report)
First map:
Had 4 players with, 3 of which can cast EV's, one bards also, Necro/mage, and Tamer w/Greater Dragon in tow.
Now the not so fun part. apon getting the map location pined down we set up for the pop up of the initial spawn of guardians. Holy Cow!! In the pop up came not the usual set of critters.
3 Greater Dragons
2 Anchient Wyrms
1 Titan
1 Poison Ele
1 Blood Ele
1 Collector of Souls
Can anyone say ouch?? I have never seen that many Dragon style critters pop up on first wave all at once! Shall we say death was not on holliday.
Map 2 and 3:
both were lvl 6 but normal spawn and not so deadly the Greater dragon was able to get back a chunk of magery pts after the first map. The last one pulled after the inital critter spawn 6 more Abyss and Souls but was handleable.

From the 3 maps:
137k
2 maps- 1 for Malas (yipee)
1 pardons
2 vines
2 shields Brittle ones
Nice amounts of Essences, few gems, regs and reasonable amount of junk.

Over all the maps were great. Just watch out for that mega spawn thou..... its a doozy!

I think it's as intended, and another installment of a forced playstyle they think is so good for UO. Solo no more, sorry

Please clarify that sentence, I'm feeling rather dense after reading it 5 times.



So you got a Malas map from a Trammel chest?
ah let me clarify.

the Inital spawn for the map #3 was:
2 Titans
2 Blood Eles
1 Poison Ele
1 Collector of Souls
after this mod was killed and the chest being looted the following creatures that came were 4 collectors of souls and 2 lord of the abyss along with the occasional blood and poison ele.

Yes the 2 maps I got were from the maps we did and one was a Malas map. You have a chance to get next lvl up maps from the chests.

@Lady Storm - thanks for the clarification and that's great news that we can get maps for facets other than which we were digging in.

● Added some Imbuing Ingredients (On level 2+ maps)

Do "ingredients" include ALL of the stuff from the mini spawns we had to fight for? I hope so. Such 2nd source provides other type of fun when we dont feel like killing or chopping trees.

Thanks for the report!! :thumbup1:

I've monitored the reports on Stratics carefully, though I haven't looked elsewhere. The only imbuing ingredients I've seen mentioned are the various virtue essences and I got one map with abyssal cloth.
