<ul>[*]Added info about rations and snake skins spawning on regular Ophidians from now on[/list]

Does this mean the turn-ins will be a long-term thing so we will always have the chance to claim these rewards? If not, why are the rations and snake skins spawning "from now on"?

[/ QUOTE ]Ah, someone's thinking ahead, but that's Publish 53 territory.

Draconi, I knew you had a trick up your sleeve.

Thanks for hinting enough that I know you're going to extend/expand upon this concept and not make it just a limited-time thing.

That makes the points for turn-ins much more acceptable.

 

[Avalonia]

<blockquote><hr>

Righto, the turn-in will be limited. It just won't end at Pub 53. Pub 53 will introduce more turn-ins and rewards, and that's the last phase.

[/ QUOTE ]

So this is just phase one of the turn in. We have no clue what will come in the second phase of the rewards, so until we find out maybe we should just hold onto points and wait for the best. I know I am getting a Sherry statue but other than that I am waiting for points. It seems that you can go farm the hell out of ophidians between the publish and the final turn in if you want turn in items though. That should be fun...farming ophidians was one of the funest parts of the game in times gone by.

For the love of all that is holy or evil for that matter, I really, really hope they learned from the nightmare that was ToT. There is no reason for any turn in system to be short time only. I am still mad that they didn't leave the ToT on and just remove the dyes from it. Anything that promotes hunting in Tokuno would be a plus. If they turned ToT back on it would give us reasons to hunt in Ilshenar, Anti-Virtue Dungeons (Tram/Fel), Doom, ML areas, and Tokuno outside of just the normal monster loot. It would also lower the prices on these items and that would keep those people that everyone complains about from becoming rich off of them.

Draconi...
This talk of "first round"s and "publish 53"s is making us wonder if we should save our sheilds and swords for the next round...
Or is the next round going to be something completely different?
IE: There's no need to hang on to the current trade-inable items for any reason other than keepsake value.
Danke.

[/ QUOTE ]Pub 53 will mainly implement lower point rewards, except for the mouse hole. So, saving your points will be less necessary, and we'll post more details about how the armor set will act soon.

 

[mdacc#one]

ok now iam confused again.

If this system will NEVER be turned off, then whats the point of creating these sytems? Why even bother creating 4 new NPCs why not just add items to the current library systems? The whole idea behind this is to offer something limited or at least thats what I thought.

 

[jaashua]

When resizing a house, will you get a moving crate in the new house or do you need to clear it out first?

Are we going to hear about any more of the Pub 53 rewards before Pub 52 goes live so we know wehter to hold on to our tickets or not?

[/ QUOTE ]Sorry for the confusion. It *will* be turned off. Just not in Pub 53. Some things will be made available outside the collections, etc.

Some items, like the Ophidian rations and Snake skins, are gaining actual uses in 53, and thus will continue to spawn.

Thank you for everything - I for one have enjoyed the event and look forward to what is coming.

BTW, If the armor suit isn't all 70's+ with 1000% SSI, damage, hit/defense, regeneration mods and doesn't deposit gold into your bank account while wearing it I you will have some people here complain - oh yea, and don't forget to add a shield that has mountable potion sippy cups you can drink while fighting. Oh, and is there a God mode switch on the tunic? Well, hopefully at the very least there will be a place they can put their tissue box. Geez.

Actually it seems to me a fairly interesting idea. Right now, the motivation to hunt or even loot lower end mobs is nonexistent apart from the fun of it which diminishes without some reward.

As someone who dates back to '97, I remember the bone armor economy. 7xGM character killing skeletons for a chance at some bone armor. Of course, back then plate weighed you down and there were reds popping in to the undead dungeons all the time to spice things up, but still, it was enjoyable hanging out with friends and bashing mobs instead of having to figure out the formula for defeating this uber mob or having tamers have all the fun.

Particularly, I like the idea of creature type specific rewards. Turn in ophidian drops for ophidian rewards or undead drops for undead rewards. Etc. Get people back out in the seldom used dungeons and back to the above ground crypts and cemetaries and over to the Lost Lands and buying terathan slayers and persecuting lizardmen.

Ok let me make sure I understand *laughs*
The snake skins and ophidian rations will have some other use post publish 53?
As in... don't turn them in now save them up a little longer?

 

[Larisa]

Karth that seriously made me laugh tissue box indeed *grins*

no on the 1000% SSI though huh? That bums me out *frowns*

The housing thing....strange..inconvieniant to those who wish to only upgrade their homes a few tiles and have to move over 5000 items OUT of it first....where are we going to put it?? Like...say my 18x18 is in a spot big enough for a keep...it holds 6000 items...I want to resize...where do I put 6000 items while I do that????

I don't know about the rest still playing UO but even if I turn in everything I have I will not be able to purchase the full set of armor. And farming snake skins will take 2666.66 of them to get a full set of armor. If the armor is required for some upcoming event you might want to reconsider the cost of the armor. And for that many points the armor had better be worth it as it stands right now its not worth it.

[Guest]

And they will spawn again, I guess

Which isn't so bad, because they spawned for a long time on many shards anyway.

So I guess thats fair!

<blockquote><hr>

I'm a bit confused, we can get the items on test now? Or? I just can't find any of the NPCs.. or i'm blind and haven't read properly..

[/ QUOTE ]

Nods ... I musta missed that too ...what with the rift area being gone and all.

That and one other "command/NPC/gate" ... the one where the housing tool doesn't give a new character (shard WAS wiped ... right?)
give a new character a Working house placement tool.

As for the turn-ins ... nnnnnnnope ... ain't seeing the "valuation" as being ... mmmm .... workable.
The "idea" was to "get rid of junk" ... or in its most basic form: "Free up lockdowns/storage".

All in all ...each item IS "an item" ... ONE lockdown/storage slot
1Inavlis's Burchete = 1Copper Shilling .... either = 1 lockdown/storage
instead of each item = some points
each item IS a point ...
25 item points = 1 "new" item.

Thats my veiw ... and I'm sticking with it.

As it Still Stands(new list/values) ... nope ... ain't buying into it ... especially IF there's no "gp item for item" scale put in ...
A) to get rid of gp piles item counts ... B) as a "filler" for missing points.

Now ... IF an item stack for one item ratio was put in .... ie. 25 items = 1 different item ...

golden ...
For 150 items (S&amp;S) ... I get 6 pieces of armor ... 1 set
For 250 items (any items) ... I get all 10 pieces of armour ...

that I can only wear/use 6 pieces at a time
At a 50 - 1 rate ...
STILL can get a full 6 piece set (300 items) ...

Shrugs ...
we'll see ... and no ... no "problem" disposing any of my stockpile ...

just sail it all out to sea, lose the keys ... finished ...

Miss Larisa, you are a packrat! And I feel no guilt in saying that cause I'm pretty sure I've seen you allude to it yourself.

Seriously though I do not relish manually emptying my wonderfully deco'd house to resize it. So am in agreement with you. BTW, are you feeling better

today?

so u that ask for such do u realise that then everyone has then so u will get no advantage??
maybe this is the patch to not give out over powered items and lead us back to where so many want to be?
lets have no, I WANT VINECORDS STANDARD STUFF AND PRE AOS!!

 

[^Wolfie^]

I personally do not want a pair of vinecords. But I would of happily given up all my event items to have items like vinecords deleted from the game.

And for those that aren't aware, ALL vinecords are duped considering the ONE original pair from Sonoma are forever on a perma banned acct.

Well I guess that won't do a lot of people any good. I'll have to place a temporary house to put my stuff in so I can demolish my primary to make it bigger.

Why couldn't we get a temp moving crate or even a 2nd bank box to hold all house items while we demolish or house. When we replace the house all items move automatically to the new house moving crate. Make it so items are not available until new house is placed and new house must be large enough to hold all items.

Update #3

Hey everyone, we're going to have to move house resizing to Pub 53. The feature list for resizing is complete, but we're going to be running more test cases that don't fit within Pub 52's schedule.

On the bright side, Pub 53 isn't that far behind 52

To me personally, not too much of a big deal, the other fixes for housing are the more important ones. Besides, it's better to have something work properly than have people lose items or use the system for exploits etc...

 

[Larisa]

Mel you have NO idea....my 18x18 is FULL....

Okay out of 2924 available storage in my fel house im down to 105
and out of 1863 in my luna house im down to 157. When I sold my castle I left over 3000 items in it for the new owner, including all my ophidian items DOH! And about 30 staff's of Pyros....lucky girl that is! And I had to stuff my banks full of crappola too....I really really am a packrat I LOVE it!

 

[imported_Ylias Tendris]

The list looks better now, but i think the ophidian journals are rarer than ophidian orders and thus should give more points. Also the Scrolls seem to be to expensive for a one-time 15mins of use item.

 

[Guest]

oh also, ok say you have points in the turn in box, if you don't use those points, will they be valid to pick rewards from the pub 53 reward list?

[imported_Evilminion]

Larisa, we should start a packrats' guild.

I just did some mental tallying, and assuming that I'm right about how much junk I have stuffed into every container in my 18x18 (with storage upgrades), plus bankboxes on all my characters, plus the backpacks of Mulus Asinus and Equus Asinus, I should be able to get four pieces of that Knight Armor, possibly even five. And that's mostly just on stuff from the Magincia invasion; I'm pretty sure I salvaged about half the forest.

I don't know what I'm more excited about: getting the new goodies, or clearing out all my storage and inventory!

Oh, and Draconi? You rock.

Thanks to all of you guys for the point adjustments; I'm looking forward to having even part of the armor set!

Is it really that hard to believe that new players come to this game? I mean, come on. I would have loved to have been doing Tokuno when it first came out but I was playing DAoC at the time. I would have loved to have done it the second time but I was playing WoW at the time. The mistake was ever turning off the event in the first place. It should have ran from then till now non-stop with just the removal of the dyes. Items that are competively some of the best items in the games for players that want to make suits to play with should not be hard to obtain and they definately should still be obtainable by legal game mechanics.

Umm...I'm pretty damn sure that is kind of the point of all the posts. Currently dupers have them and if they keep duping them anyone willing to pay real life cash for them will have a pair anyways. Everyone seems to be asking that items that go towards bettering the improvement of your characters be given out in game not as rares. Rares should be house decorations not suit pieces.
