I'm going to call you out on speculation for that one with there being zero information about Halloween at the moment. That being said, it does come back to dev communication.
I agree there needs to be a goal for players to work towards in order for it to be successful. They've said the goal is to "build your legacy" but nothing else about what that looks like. I'd also agree that something like a sash or some other deco piece probably isn't enough of a reward, but even that would have questions like does the reward change based on your path/hours played etc? From my perspective, what's the reason to play most of my time in UO on the NL shard versus Prod if I'm just getting the same sash/boots/etc as everyone else that logged in and played a couple of hours?
If this is just a main pvper game I understand they can reset yearly but not uo which most of the players are likely to collect things, decorate their houses
Don't remember Farmageddon, but I do remember the Abyss shard for Halloween and the Xmas shard (could run around as a reindeer). IMO those shards would have been all that was needed instead of NL; a test shard that you can adjust your skills however you want and play as a change of pace from Prod.
Go on official forum and ask for any info about what happens. cost if any what you can bring etc see what kind of radio silence you receive
Some folks have just drank the kool-aid hard.
Nah, shes got to release it. The community tore her apart when she backpedaled and pushed the timeline last time. She’ll release it broken
For sure. It will likely just be a "shortened season" and 75% of the things about the shard will be incomplete or a mystery; like how long the season is intended to last or how something is supposed to work.
and once again, you show your ignorance by failing to understand the concerns we have been trying to voice. But hey, you sure showed all of us, didn't you? You "won" the argument. Good job man!Beta is done Stress test next week.
Looks like NL will be coming with yall kicking and screaming But but they wont ever finish. Looks like it takes 5 years for 2 coders to make a game. More coders = less time.
Exactly how much marketing do you think the 3 main employees are going to do and with what budget. Yall keep moving the bar. First it won't happen then you see movement, so it's now vaporware. Now that it is coming, it won't be GoOd EnOuGh.
After being ignored by developers and attacked by you and violet why would I bother to test more.
Mr my Focus won't raise. I told you how to make it raise. When you choose the new skilling method you have to use a skill to raise it. How do you make focus or meditation raise in UO...
None of the skills were raising properly I'm willing to bet the divergent path still broken
Again, show me where I have commented on anything to do with NL as its features have been implemented. I don’t have to justify to you who my beta characters are to have an opinion on business management concerns. If that’s the best come back you have, then you’re a poor troll. You’re losing your touch man.
They did not make a new game, they modded an existing game. Should not have take 5 years and 2 months to mod the existing game to change a few mechanics and add some new art and quests. The core of the game did not change.
We enjoy the game just not you
Ah yes, you're other go-to once the "teLl mE wHo YouR ChAraCTer iS" doesn't land. Well, here are a couple of things for you to remember since you can't handle anything critical being said about the state of the game.
Bonnie was clear that NL would bring the largest audience to UO since its launch. Those are her words, not mine. Where is her plan to accomplish that goal? So you are right, the bar has moved. It's moved because Bonnie quietly changed the narrative and lowered that bar.
Yup. The goal/narrative shifted from "bringing the largest audience" to something like "delivering a new shard people can play". Smart people know that these two things are vastly different.
