Lets start a feedback thread for the new event.

[Taylor]

I set rarity of these items with a casual player in mind.

Thank you.

 

[T-Hunt]

Nice work on the event Mark and gang..

But im getting frusstrated trying to get any loyalty points with the spamming of All Kill..

I am using a warrior and can not get a chance to hit anything before a ev or GD kills the area.

You would think since ophedians are reptile that any form of reptile would not attack them..something like earth eles and golems..

Also...PLEASE make the stew crafteble by a cook....even if you need to be GM..

Other wise this is going to be no beter then someone selling rare items or EM items for zillions in gold..

Even put black rock to use in this would be nice..

And is there a time limit on this? I dont have much time to play during the day...

Thanks again and keep up the good work....

Hmmm ancient wyrms come to ophedians help..hahaha...

Not enough spawn and covered in Greater Dragon pets... and here I THOUGHT I might check it out tonight... now, not so sure.

Bleh, if true.

Disheartening

You need to take what you read on Stratics with a huge grain of salt. On my shard, Catskills, when I was playing the event there were maybe two tamers with greater dragons, and far more non-tamer spawner templates.

Again, greater dragons are a big fat target that certain people love to shoot at. I also love it when tamer haters start off their rants against tamers with, "I'm not anti-tamer, I play one myself."

Again, you will do far better in the event if you don't choose a tamer with a greater dragon. Sampires will do better, and any non-tamer template that does well in the Riktorr (spelling?) spawn will also do better in this event than a tamer with a greater dragon.

And there are far more effective pet choices than greater dragons for tamers as well in this event. If you see a lot of greater dragons there is a good chance you are seeing a lot of less experienced players who aren't getting as many points as most of the others playing the event.

To be quite honest I'm 100% against Greater Dragons being in the game as tamable pets. That goes for Cu Sidhe having healing as well. Fire and Forget pets are bad, they promote maximum reward for minimum activity. Against High End mobs they are worthless, other than as a meat shield, against low to mid end spawn like the Ophidians they are devastating and are totally not suited for use during an event like this their strengths outweigh any negatives in this case and nothing was put in place to balance them.

To top is off yesterday I got licked by a Yak....

Which got me to thinking, why don't we have Yak running around in UO?

 

[Crysta]

Its still easier to kill the ophidian side than the bane side. Repond isn't enough. You need to mix in non-reptile monsters (or a berserker or two) with the ophidian side to match the fact that the bane side has non-reponds. Sure we can kill the human ones just as fast as the ophidians can be killed now, but then we hit a massive speed bump with the high HP hell hounds and annoyingly tough bane dragons that is pretty damned difficult to recover from unless we have about 20 or so people fighting, if not more. And we never do. Because everyone is killing the ones that are easier to kill.

I'm jealous, you are clearly a more accomplished tamer than I. I've never been licked by a yak. I was bitten by a mildly poisonous snake once though... But that still doesn't beat a yak licking...

But any advanced pvm template is devastating against mid to low end spawn. I'm not sure I understand why you are singling out greater dragons.

Why wasn't something put in place to balance advanced mages, or necros, or mystics (although you did complain about them as well, I'll give you that), or sampires, or... or... A tamer with a greater dragon doesn't dominate low to mid level spawn any more than any advanced pvm template does.

I took my tamer to the event with a beetle and a mare, but to to be perfectly honest, I would have done better with my lumberjack with a reptile or ophidian slayer. I didn't take my tamer because my tamer is "easy mode", I took my tamer because I enjoy playing a tamer.

Oh I do agree that things all the way around are too easy vs the Ophidians at least in this event, and I'll give it to you that a Decent Sampire is the way to go, but with them you still have to do more than set guard cast an Earthquake then invis or for some hide... They require much more attention than tamers do and to be quite honest I complain about anything people show up with Greater Dragons at. They are horrible, horrible pets bettle/kitsune out damages them, but requires more effort since you actually have to vet them if they get ganged up on. My complaint about Greater Dragons is more that they promote maximizing reward for minimal effort, they are totally imbalance factors in most aspects of UO.

And yaks were only one of the many creatures I faced off with yesterday and gained their affections...

not all war is fair and equal, perhaps the bane chosen are just better than the ophidians, initially.

 

[Llewen]

Well, I managed to die once, and bought both my beetle and my mare one death robe each... or death carapace and mane...

I don't envy the devs. They can't make everyone happy. If they make an event too easy, the vets complain, if they make it too hard, the newer and less advanced players get shut out. I don't think the balance is too bad in this event.

I would think though if you want more of a challenge you should choose the ophidian side.

I'm not really trying to argue with you. I just see too many threads where tamers and greater dragons are mentioned where it becomes a major troll fest and "let's smack the tamer piñata". So I will get a bit defencive at times.

However, I see that isn't where you are going with this, and I understand what you are saying. I don't agree, but I understand what you are saying. My only real beef with greater dragons is that their taming and control requirements should be the highest in the game.

In fact I think you should have to be 120/120 to have a 99% command success rate. Then maybe they wouldn't have had to be nerfed the way they were.

 

[Smoot]

Can you imagine the heart attacks if this happened? While Origin has a publish that hasn't gone to any of the other shards yet, you can't transfer from or to Origin. Imagine the cries of outrage if Atlantic was left off the shard transfer list for even a day, let alone a week.

To be honest it would probably do the shard some good. It's over crowded.

I totally agree with this. If you couldn't transfer to or from Atlantic, more shards would have higher population, and people who did want to play Atlantic would have to start new characters, which in my opinion would be a good thing, as there would be more "beginner" characters that could hunt together, fight together, gain skill together. Right now its basically impossible for a person to make a fresh start on Atlantic. Theres really only established guilds, and most are pvp oriented or rp oriented. Theres really only 1 decent pvm guild on the shard (i dont count the syndicate because of their strict guild policies, deceptive propaganda)

Also, it would prevent merchants from continuing to transfer to low pop shards, buy everything, and resell on Atlantic for 10 times the price. So the rich wont just easily get richer.

Rare collector wouldnt be affected anymore because of the new cross-shard rare vendors / houses (as far as i know these are still in operation)


In regards to the event, i think its boring, and way too easy. Anyone remember the Ophidian inviasion of Vesper? That was a challenge. The Brit Invasion was alot better too. This thing, while a nice idea, is a joke right now in current state.

So basically your post was a veiled attack on Greater Dragons, not an event feedback...gotcha

GD's are fine, they're 5 slot pets and you can't even ride them and they do terrible damage compared to other pet combos.

Basically it's an opportunity to point out how when they design global events they aren't considering balancing play styles.. Greater Dragons being as commonly used as they are make them an easy target.

 

[Salya Sin]

I'm not sure what shard the majority on here play on... but I can tell you that on Napa... the Archers and Sampires are the killing machines. I don't even have time to hit the "All kill" button before they have cleaned up. And there were two GD's there last night... they were having the same issue.

When an Archer can one shot an Ophid and take over half it's life... while my Dread is trying desperately to get enough pts on it for me to gain loyalty... I have to disagree with the "tamers dominating the spawn" mentality. I am just barely over 1000 pts now... and I did this spawn over and over last night.

On the last wave... I never get a single loyalty pt... too many Archers and Warriors there and everything is dead before I can get more than a couple of hits in. Even keeping an EV casted did not help...

So.. no... a tamer could never dominate this spawn with all the other templates there one hitting for the majority of each creatures pts. I did notice one trend starting late last night... the Archers hit everything once... so they get each kills pts... GOD I wish I had an archer. Too bad I don't like playing one...

SO... Rock on Archers and Sampires... lol It just means I have to do the spawn a few more times than them.. ok.. well.. a lot.. but this doesn't bother me. I'm sure Mythic will allow this to run long enough for everyone to get what they want.

Problem I was seeing folks having was tames using AoE spells to concentrate the spawn then when 2-3 GD's get on it no one else can target because all the mobs were obscured by the mess, leaving the mob to be wiped out by the GD's.

 

[T-Hunt]

BINGO!
There were so many WW and GD on greath lakes you could not see anything to tag before it was dead..

Plus ev,s all over the place....yes i know shift/ctrl works but when the spawn is dead before you do it..its to late.

I have a 120 accros tamer and to me its borring.

They need to spread the spawn out and add more , same set up as DOOM for amount of people in area...be kind of nice....

 

[aoLOLita]

I am enjoying the event alot - but then I am on a small shard, legends. Our problem is getting enough people involved to advance either side

I chose Bane originally because my archer has a couple nice Ophid Slayers. I sent my Stealth Mage-Mystic to scout out area, and haven't played another char there since! RC's make short work of the Ophids, but you haveto keep an eye on approaching Allies, or you lose alot of points.

Took me an evening and the next day to gain the 2,000 Loyalty points, but on second try at chest I got the bone bracer arti Six further chest tries turned up garbage...

I tried taming a bane dragon, but wound up killing it with an EV by accident. My stupidity, so I backed off and gave the next Tamer a crack at them. Fortunately, I was in game when someone was giving away Bane Dragons (thank you Demon Wind!) so have one fed with Black Rock Stew and hibernating in stable for seven days.

Good Luck, all! I certainly had my share so far ...

 

[Yalp]

Not sure if repond slayers now work with the bane killing, I'll try that in a bit.. but I see the Banes still attack your pets.. disappointing.

 

[Nexus]

They do but it's a case of a being almost too late. So many folks threw in with the Bane killing Ophidians few are willing to change sides. From what I've seen before most folks can get Bane up to middle of the 2nd wave then the Ophidians have been pushed back starting it over at wave 1.

WOW! That's crappy... well then please yell out "Greedy Player!" Because not all tamers do this... and the GD can only do what the player tells them to. That's part of the reason why I chose to take my Dread and leave the GD in the stable. I try to never monopolize a spawn.

but I see the Banes still attack your pets.. disappointing.

There is another thread on that topic. Marc said he would check back with it but I don't think he's done so yet. There are a TON of replies there stating their Bane loyalty number and what pet was used. I can't remember if you posted there or not. I hope they fix this soon... I ghosted my Dread a few times yesterday due to this... can't handle getting attacked by 3 3rd tier mobs... and several Bane... ugh!

I'm not sure if you are quoting someone else or posing questions and then commenting on your own quote.

The same could be said about sampires and 50 other playstyles, including high damage tamers. You really weren't looking to give feedback, only moan about GDs.

 

[Metalstorm]

I wouldn't mind seeing the Ophidians boosted up a little for the higher levels but I could never side with them no matter what.

Those reptilian bastards raided my fair Vesper years ago. I shall never fight for them.

I am giving them a fair chance however.
With exception to a slayer weapon and the special move that comes with it I am using nothing but sheer brawn.

No chivalry, no bushido, no necromancy, no magic of any sort. Just my sword and my shield and a deep profound dislike for ophidians

Agreed.

I have toons playing both sides. As stated numerous times. .its crap to take ophid side.. but I want to get my loyalty up to 2k.. so i can claim some pots. (OR something so utterly fantastic that everyone is gonna cry cause they have to burn 10k negative points to get the reward).

 

[Adol]

Got to agree with those pointing out the hideous bias against Greater Dragons which is blinding some to the real problem, the fact that my tamer gets way more reputation credit if he leaves the Greater Dragon at home, and just drops Energy Vortex and then spams Earthquake... like almost everyone is doing now on Europa. In the time it takes me to tab onto a target that ISN'T an energy vortex (or skeletal dragon, or...), send the pet off to kill, and for it to land enough damage on that one target, I could have just hit one key and damaged up to 10 targets at once.

I do the same with my bard now too; I tried earning credit the honest, bardic way, hiding at the back so I could provoke creatures and whittle them down, and then either an archer would just plunk off my targets in 2 hits, or a particularly annoying warrior of some kind would just run by and blast a small AoE off which would instantly kill either one or both (not sure what attack he was doing) meaning I got bugger all credit at all. So it was off to the front line flag with the bard too and, yes, Energy Vortex and Earthquake.

So what these events really, really need is for there to be some other way for characters to get involved, using their specific skill set, rather than the same old powergaming methods... for instance, why not have a little catapult at the back where crafters can use their skills to forge rocks (or firebombs etc for alchemy) to throw at the enemy and aid the fight; one meteor animation at the flag, one subtraction from the flag spawn count! As for tamers, why not have some of the mobs have a "fear" value, which the presence of such majestic creatures like Greater Dragons in the fight causes lesser enemies to run from the field full of fear... and subtract from the spawn count that way. And these lesser ones are too small and agile however to be easily hit by warriors; However, there are also big, BIG enemies which have no fear, huge magical resistance etc and the usual anti tamer code that most Paragons have, but are particularly prone to a good stabbing with cold steel...

Can I point out that the "Bane-Chosen" are murderous rogues? And have you ever raided the lands of the Ophidians? I'm not saying you have, but all is not as simple as a personal vendetta, sometimes.

 

[RawHeadRex]

I dunno about that ... remember how much difficulty the Ophidian's gave us when we wanted one of those rare roses growing on the side of their t2a temple ?

 

[Metalstorm]

I only ventured to Ophidian's fortress once.

I happened upon it by chance when exploring the new lands. I came upon several ophidaians or rather they came upon me.

I did not attack, only stared at them with wonder as I have never seen the likes of them before.

They, upon seeing me, attacked me with savage viciousness. There was no warning, no "you are not welcome here" or anything of the sort. Just "SssssssKilllllll".

I'm sorry their artifact was stolen but perhaps they should have sent ambassadors to speak to us about resolving the problem before waging bloody war upon us.

I have no love for the bane either but they shall be dealt with in due time. For now my sword for hire goes to them. I mean hey, I have a mortgage on a large tower to pay.
I don't trust the Ophidians enough to to believe they'd pay up.



Terathans on the other hand, I did spend much time raiding. Spiders scare the bajeebus out of me so my first reaction is usually to crush them.
I'm not saying it's right. It was probably wrong of me to have done it. I am definitely flawed when it comes to creepy crawly things

 

[Phineas le Monge]

On Atlantic the constant shaking in the ec client from 10 mages spamming earthquake make it impossible to target anything individually...
Please make a way in the ec to turn off the shaking. Unless I spam earthquake with them I can't get any points...and forget using a warrior.
I like the event. I could like it better if I could see it...

 

[Yalp]

I definitely see that some people play in a very selfish manner. Some people don't. I played the invasion alot yesterday. It wasn't until the evening, when 2 people on our shard, in particular, EQ, EV's and wither.. I could not even get kill rights on 1 target and they were dropping the entire group. Its worthless to play around with people like that.. some were even in my alliance.. which makes me question how "cooperative and teamplayer" I want to be with them in the future. Most of these players NEVER even bothered to loot their kills. At least it was profitable for me to go back and collect all their blackrock.

The more I play the war, the more frustrating and NOT fun it is.

They need to scale the spawn based on numbers. Unless you have a very advanced character, and you are very good at playing that character, you simply won't get any loyalty points if there are a lot of people on. I've been trying to help a less advanced player with that problem, and I know it is frustrating.

Same old problem, unbalanced as ever. Until they realize that the most fun thing to do in this game has this problem, and it's because they cater to powergamers with extreme's in power differences, it won't change.

 

[Taylor]

They need to scale the spawn based on numbers.

Good idea and doable, as demonstrated by the Doom Gauntlet. If there are 20+ players in the area, most casting AOE spells, it is hard to find anything to kill.

 

[DevilsOwn]

perhaps I've not been very observant the past few days, but this morning it seems as tho the Bane camp is increasing in size? more tents and wagons? this is on Legends, where the ophidians take a beating every time

This!!!!!!!

 

[Jon the Fisherman]

Same complaint as everyone else. My main is a fighter so i dont get kill points. I'm not against the tamer/mages. More power to them. If I enjoyed taming or magery I would do the same. I participated. Now I will wait till next part.

 

[olduofan]

the way the bane dragons spawn is lame the rest is ok tho

 

[[JD]]

Hey Y'all, Griefing will be gone soon we're told!

I was taming Banes and this guy shows up and ebolts one mid-tame. Ho ho ho, so funny. I forgot to laugh!!

I informed him, do you really think you're going to tame one after you ebolted mine?

He asks if he looks like a Tamer. Let's see, Stratics says Legendary Mage, Meditation, and resist. Hrmmm. And oh yeah, his guildmates showed up later on and joined in the "fun", roleplaying between "kill kill kill the dragons", and asking me if I lived in my mom's basement. Yeah but it's a really cool basement! There's shuffleboard and shizz, yo!

Then he says Some players are just "jerks" - wait - he uses another word in a strange language I don't speak.

Then he tells me: I didn't come to tame - I came to **** with others trying to tame

No, really?

This is so cool. The UO experience.

I'm sure players like this haven't caused you the loss of respectable paying clients in the past, have they Mark?

It's over an hour (actually it might be 90 minutes) since this began and I asked him to stop, and I'm still #6 in the queue on Sonoma..... I guess someone is just reeeeeally stuck in a wall!

Not really complaining here, but making a point : In UO, the bad guy(and I don't mean the good kind of bad guy) exploits, breaks game mechanics, chases paying subscribers away.... and gets away with it.

Prove me wrong, Mark... prove me wrong.

This guy "won" in the game by preventing me taming. (and wasting a real life hour and a half of his in the process)

However did he "win" in real life? Well, my girl just came over and I'm on my way out for the night with her and some best friends while he's angrily griefing players in UO.

Good luck lil buddy! May you find a fulfilling life.

This topic made me start to think about how the spells are set up in UO..

Earth quake should not do damage but stun i think..

And spells like wither or hail storm..should do most damge to one or 2 mobs , but as the amount of mobs in the area of effect the damge should be lowered to cover said mobs..

1 to 2 monsters more damge , the more youe hiting the damage should be spread out..

I wish they had a shrink pet spell in UO , dam dargons and WW are to dam big..haha

Also ive noticed that the Ophedians do not dispell ev,s?
If you were to hunt them at a champ spawn they would, the mages anyways..

And i have been seeying alot of people just waiting at the end for the flag to move there, then they start to kill last of the spawn.

Isent there a point were if you dont start, theres no reward for you?
Or is it based on how many you help killed?

The event is greath, its just to bad your ev,s and other spells dont do 10X the damage to the mob your helping..

Ya im waiting for the flames, and i have GM mages in every class...but i used a warrior for this event ,seemed like more fun.
