Please delay the end of the Event

[Basara]

THP, that's the point I've been trying to make.

Europa lost a day from a revert.
Origin lost a lot from its crashes.
EVERYONE had severe lag issues due to something at EA, upstream from the UO servers (most likely tied to the early days of WAR and the server load)

I don't play either Europa or Origin, but those two events, by thesleves (let alone combined) is why I support an extension.

Not greed (I got the 3 spinnerets I want, thank you - and LOST a medium web that was looted from me by a Skeletal lich that got GUARD-WHACKED by an NPC in Jhelom when I was returning to my corpse, as I watched! - and yes, I killed the one in the graveyard, to make sure it wasn't just a teleport back to the graveyard)

Not gimmee gimmee (the only thing I've got left on my event checklist is trying to get begging to GM in time to attempt to get a web)

MAYBE a desire to see the event wrapped up through player actions (use the venom sacs, people! And, EA, GIVE us more sacs to do it with, even if it means leaving the graveyard spawning on a "Grim reaper" schedule every 2 RL hours/in-game midnight schedule until the totems are brought down!)

More and more, the ones pushing for a quick end show not a desire to "get on with the event", but greed as they see the value of their event stuff drop day by day.

Why would someone WANT to force the next publish out without testing, anyway? Look at the issues this one had from having to be rushed...

I vote for it to end, lets move on to something new.

I forgot, when is Halloween in real life?

That's not fair. If you will recall, this publish was pushed out to the shards only *2* days before halloween. By that reasoning, it should have stopped 2 days later....
It's really not anyone's fault that something that they should have had much of the month doing, they got very little (and mostly lag filled) time doing.

Maybe we need to start the Christmas one on Thanksgivng. That way we can get it out of the way by New Year's day.

that would actually be nice It's a tad frustrating to not get the fun stuff for the holiday when it's actually still a holiday (not that I'm putting down the dev team mind you - I do understand that pub 56 was huge and just took a long time to push out), so yes, I'll agree with you there .

How is more time going to change this?

how?
maybe i'll have more time to get at last 1 spiderweb?
i dont think its so difficult to understand!

or maybe it is...

Who does it hurt if the event last a few extra weeks. Some people dont play the game 24/7. They spent a time making the event and it not like we are getting a new one when this one goes away. It not like it going to ruin any one game play by not being able to go to a cemetery and Kaldaum doesn't even exist on trammel side after the event.

Spree has the right of it, although I think he's defending me, mostly. I have been trying to get a talisman (just a talisman, don't even need the book!) on Siege for the last week, and UO lag + RL just hasn't let lady luck shine upon me.

I too would like to see the event extended, but I'm being selfish. I have the entire week of Thanksgiving OFF! (woot!)

If they have the next event in the series reday to go in on the 17th or 18th then fine end it, but if not, I just do not see the harm in delaying the end of the current event. For me it is just very nice to see content in the game i hate to see it leave so early.

 

[Radun]

yes, it's been laggy since this publish went in, please delay the end of the lag

 

[Yalp]

Extending the event for the people who need to do so hurts Who exactly? Those who are yelling to turn it off on the 17th seem, to me, to be quite selfish.

We have no event content for months on end, then at the same time we are thrown halloween trick or treating, magincia rebuilding, a new quest, faction activity, city invasions and cemetary spawn. Throw in serious and significant game lag for a portion of that time.. no wonder some people need more time.

Extend it for those who need it. If you are bored or done with it, then avoid those areas. Or maybe try thinking about others for a change.

 

[CatLord]

Hum... what about...

Let the players decide when it ends... by not removing the Bone Totems unless they are destroyed INGAME...

Cya on the Field.

While not apropriate for seasonal content, I'd like to see this concept used more often.

i see it the other way around... it's the people yelling for them to extend the lag issues past the 17th who are being self-centered.

p.s. i was sick on oct 31st, and i've been caught up with other stuff since then, so i'll have to interrupt your thanksgiving dinner so i can trick-or-treat your house.

 

[Kensai Tsunami]

the event is a blast
i wouldnt care if they left it on til feb like they did last yr
it aint hurtin a soul
it would only make ppl cry
boo hoo

 

[THP]

Its got to be delayed at least 1 week...

 

[NewThunder]

Well nothing in the FOF about a delay, that's too bad, the lag at times makes the game feel slower then when I was on dail-up

 

[THP]

Bumps back to top for priority Dev ATTENTION....

1 Week would be fine i guess....

 

[Katlene]

id be happy with a week more. i had a massive thing happen in real life that took me away from the game and id love a bit more time to try things out. hell i only had a go at invasion spawn for the first time last night and visited sicaraii for the first time aswell but they cant cater for the individual.
cudos that something even happened!
