Plane items are by far the least bang for your buck.

And the "angels" you get them from are MUCH harder than the low level ophids you could get rations from (and the rations stack!)

Draconi, when you say "random" amount of time is this measured in minutes, hours, seconds, or days, or a combined randomly generated number encompassing all of the aforementioned?

Thanks for divulging.

I'd really like a set of the armour but I'm going to fall short by about a million points. Is there any way I could get this together, or possibly a revision of the points scale in the near future?

I gather the armour's meant to be rare, but .. I don't know, I just get a little tired of the item-elitism when UO's best quality is personal choice. You're not forced into using class- or level-based items. I don't want the knight's armour to be elite, I want it to play a knight.

I think I've struck a reasonable balance between pack-ratting and living simply. I've about 40 coins, a few dozen weapons, stacks of rations (I have a chef so they seemed collectable at the time), and a whole pile of rubble because it's decorative. But yeah, going to fall short of that armour set.

Anyhow, don't mean to whine, just sayin'..

" New mount: Dread Warhorse

* More powerful than a nightmare

* Special radius poison attack (when untamed)

* Special display "trick" for owners (when tamed)

* Requires 3 control slots"


Now can we get an increase to stable slots? Sorry had to throw that in.
Also, I do feel for those that couldn't play 24/7 to get turn in items,
I have participated a great deal and I think I can get a shirt...was hoping
for earrings. Points do seem low on most if not all items or too high on
what we get, however you want to look at it.

Draconi, can we please get the Trinsic-Magincia teleporter pads on TC1, at least in Fel, so it's easier to test factions stuff?

Also, how long do we have to test the factions stuff on TC1? We want to make sure the quitting and rejoining process is thoroughly tested. Will we have enough time to test that? I don't really know when you start counting that a character has quit factions and when they can rejoin factions.

If I put a character in factions tonight and then have her quit tonight, will she be out of factions exactly 72 hours after quitting, or does she get out at the next server maintenance period? How soon after she quits can I expect to have her try to join a different faction or re-join the same one? If a guild leader leaves factions, does everybody in the guild quit on the same schedule, or does their quit schedule start at their next log-in. (I assume everyone gets out on the same schedule.)

In order to test the quitting process, I think we need to have until at least late Thursday night or into Friday to have sufficient time. Are you going to hold off the publish until then, or is this going live before Friday?

When is TC1 scheduled to go down for daily maintenance? (Can you please translate your answer into a couple of popular time zones for those of us that have difficulty figuring out time zones? LOL)

Also, if we find problems or have questions about the changes that we need to have answered in order to do good testing, what's the best way to post those questions or issues for you to review?

Thanks.

Any chance of scaling down the points requires for the knight armor? For a 6 piece suit, it cost 1200 000 points. That's quite a lot compared to the amount of points from the turn-ins.

Ok so one needs 60k planeswords/shield or 160 berserker scythes or 240 cursed arties or 800 vorpal blades/pyro staffs to exchange a set of 6-peice knight armor. Or 'simply' just donate an inavlis burchette.

removed 30 day character age requirement for factions.... i dont get this, thats only encouraging spies, im so confused, wtf???

Saying “I wish to resize my house” demolishes your house, i hope there is a gump to confirm you are demolishing your house or you will have people loosing their houses left and right complaining.
Will there ever be a feature to combine and resize multiple houses at once? say i had 2 plots that could fit a keep, i could drop them both and have the entire area safe.

Must now wait one hour after building a home before demolishing it (previously 15 minutes), what is the reasoning for this? i've always thought the 15 minutes was too long myself, i always run into this problem trying to fit the biggest house possible into a spot, of course i measure but nothing is always right, especially uo itself, gotta place the house lopsided/incorrectly to fit in half the spots, most players dont even know what im talking about for that one.



Obviously you guys realized that people have mass quantities of rubble, im guessing thats why they are worth so little on the points list?
But cursed artifacts... everyone in my guild had atleast a few chests full after a few days of the magincia event... come on now, this is rediculous, the cursed arties are just as usefull as rubble, people are trading/decorating/selling whatever with both of them in some form it equals out.

btw i do like a lot of this stuff i just dont understand some of these other decisions, its the bad things that will stand out, the good go unmentioned,
i really like the sound of the new "trick" for the new mount though.

Sorry Draconi - the points are a bit borked.

Planeshields and Swords only 20 points? I managed to ammass something like 250 of these. Thats about 5,000 points TOTAL. Now that took many hours to amass. That is roughly 3 vorpal blades or staff of pyros that could have been obtained in the last event in like an hour.

I'm not trying to sound ungrateful - but that really puts the smack down on any of the work people put into the most recent event.

Something like 100pts each would be more reasonable at least.

they are trying to create rares like the original cleanup did, the high end hard to obtain items only grew in value over time creating something everyone wanted.
letting people just buy the items with gold straight from the source not only ruins the whole point but destroys the idea, then again cursed arties are worth so many points that it wont matter anyways.

Guest

Guest
I would suggest 400 points per planesword / planeshield. Turning in 500 of these for even the second least-expensive reward item is not practical. 25 would be about right.

And, perhaps 2000 points per journal.

Everything else looks good to me.

With the current numbers, I have around 695K points, with an entire house and several banks filled with items.

After adding all these up...

Cursed artis and gold crowns are out of proportion as well, considering the majority of my points are made up of those two items alone.

Thanks for the updates Draconi, looking forward to the changes!

A couple of questions if you don't mind:

1) House resizing - this looks like a demolish house code combined with a new reserve plot code. I suspect that placing the replacement house will condemn other grandfathered houses for players with more than 1 house. If so, any chance of looking into a way that us old folks can resize our old houses without condemning our other houses? (Not in this publish of course)

2) Will demolishing the house instead of using the resize command also result in having the plot reserved?

3) Can a confirmation gump be added for resizing if there isn't one now?

4) It'll take 5000 planeshields/swords to get a pair of night sight earrings. I have about 4876 more to go, may I know how much longer will these continue to drop? Fallen Ones aren't exactly easy to kill... Or maybe add the arties from the legacy dungeons as turn-ins and keep the the collection NPCs around for good?

5) I second the request to bless the earrings


6) Any chance of adding a Mystic weapon (1 each for archery, maces, swords, fencing and maybe mage weapon) into that list of rewards? "Britannia thanks you for your heroic fight against the hordes, Avatar. From the strange new weapons we recovered so far from the hordes, the Royal Britannian Smiths have been able to forge new weapons that replicate their Mystic properties. And we now make them available to you, to further your heroic efforts - for the low low price of 9.99"


7) Can I have snakeskin sandles that have my name, have the resists and are dye-able like the AOS ones? Blessed, erm, maybe +1 resist to each and I'll use a clothing deed to bless it myself? Or let players choose what kind of footwear &amp; resist they prefer.



Superstang - I sold a coconut tree for 20 mil...That makes each piece of the Knight's armour worth 5,000,000,000 *grins*

I think the points for rubble pieces should be scaled to the amount of weight of the rubble piece. So the heavier pieces will get more points than the lighter pieces

the threads (thread of life, thread of fate) aren't included in the trade-in?

like others, i would also like to know the details of house resizing...is the footprint of the plot the only area that is reserved for the 1 hour period (meaning the 5 tiles in front of &amp; behind the plot are not part of the reserved area)?

It seems in line with the difficulty of the original Clean-Up's phoenix armor.. at 100k points per piece, randomly given.. it was quite a lot of work to imagine getting a complete set. I don't think anything at that time gave nearly so many points either, nothing in the thousands range anyway. Just little 20-100 point increments..

Draconi, thanks for the update! I appreciate you giving us more information about the things to come. I am looking forward to the progress of the event!! I hope that this time not-so-skilled characters will be able to contribute to the event, too. There are some mateys in my pirate crew who are quite young, and I don't like to leave them behind.

About the turn-ins: I'd have favored Sherry the Mouse, but with all the things collected during 2 weeks of fighting in Moonglow, I will hardly be able to afford a t-shirt. And a pirate wouldn't run around in such a t-shirt, would he? So I guess my box full of plainswords and plainshields will go right into the trash barrel. *shrugs* We'll have a regular town crier in our pirate headquarter then, methinks.

Anyhow, great news, great patch! Keep going, landlubber!

Suggest the following changes for the redemption values...

Turn-in items:

Multiply these by 100 - not only were they rare, but as a book (though random in contents), they are desirable for museums and libraries as display items.
Ophidian Journals ............................................. 100pts


Multiply these values by 10 -

Ophidian Rations............................................... 10pts
Planesword .................................................... 20pts
Planeshield ................................................... 20pts
Copper Shilling ............................................... 50pts
Ophidian Orders ............................................... 200pts


Multiply these by 4 or 5 -
Slippery Snake Skins .......................................... 250pts
Silver Crown .................................................. 400pts
Power Weapon .................................................. 500pts
Vanquishing Weapon ............................................ 650pts
Mystic Weapon ................................................. 1,000pts
Staff of Pyros ................................................ 1,500pts
Vorpal Blade .................................................. 1,500pts
Ophidian Weapon (Power) ....................................... 2,000pts
Ophidian Weapon (Vanquishing) ................................. 2,500pts
Ophidian Weapon (Mystic) ...................................... 3,500pts

Leave these as-is -
Magincia Rubble ............................................... 800pts
Cursed Artifacts .............................................. 5,000pts
Berserker's Scythe ............................................ 7,500pts
Gold Sovereign ................................................ 10,000pts
Ophidian Berserker's Bardiche ................................. 25,000pts
Inavlis's Burchete ............................................ 2,000,000pts

Suggest for Publish 53 turn-ins-

Suggested Turn-ins:
The excess threads of life and fate at about 1000 per.
Minor artifacts at about 1000 or 2000 per.
"rarity-level" stealables at 100 * Summation of level (100 for level 1, 300 for level 2, 600 for level 3, up to 4500 for level 9)
Smith and tailor rewards (other than cloth) at the point value that they are first available. For example, sturdy tools and stretched hides would be 10 point items, colored sandals would be 150 points, gargoyle picks and prospector tools 200 points, and so on - would encourage filling of lower-end bods to get collection points from turning in low end tools, odd rewards and lower-end crafter powerscrolls.

suggested Rewards:
Replica Ophidian Orders and Ophidian Journals that make Ophidian noises when locked down and turned on. Reward value would be 10 times the value of the "original" items.
Replica versions of Invalis' Burchete and the Ophidian Berserker's Bardiche at twice the originals' turn-in value (and blatantly labeled as "replica" like the museum rewards).
Coconut and Date Trees (and have them bear fruit) for 800,000 points
Veteran Reward tokens for 800,000 (redeems for a veteran reward that the user is eligible for, of their choice - unlike other tokens, is account-bound even in token form).
Lottery tickets for 10,000 points, with a "replica" of one of the massively duped event items being drawn for every time that 1000 tickets are claimed (ticket claims stop at 1000, until the next daily maintenance after that point is reached, at which time all the tickets are deleted, and one of the ticket holders gets the item (random) in their pack, account bound like a soulstone.
