Town Loyalty : shouldn't we know more about it before committing ?

[Frarc]

For scientific "Research" Dark Angel being doing some killing on Rioters.​

Bad:​

Good:​

One Rioter killed dropped Loyalty one step .
Three Rioters dropped Loyalty two steps.​

It takes many rioters captured alive to move it upwards.​

So think well before you kill one!​

Side note from Dark Angel: No Daemon was harmed during these tests!​

Kept workin on Loyalty in Jhelom:

And it shows nicely that as long a town is unknown the loyaly don't change. But on a town, i also helped like Skara before , that town loyalty start to drop faster down then i could work Loyalty up on Jhelom.

Did not to anything besides helping in Jhelom and did not do anything bad in Skara.Helping Jhelom made Skara unhappy.​

Yes hence the *Pick a town and stick to it* thing

I am Adored in New Mag...seems that is the highest it can go.

Poor Maharia...she's so confused...all she wants to do is help and since Yew is fairly quiet she decided to travel to other towns to help put out fires and pick up trash. She hasn't arrested anyone, just put out fires and picked up trash in New Mag because Devious was having a hard time keeping up. BEFORE we got the new publish she was commended in Yew, Respected in Mag...now she's Respected in Yew and Unknown in all the other towns including Mag. So I'm confused on that, I think the re-publish we got messed things up a bit on that.

Another crackpot thought:

Is it possible to have a scenario where the virtues work against one another? Could lead to something catastrophic?

By the way, is it a Town loyalty tied to the one character or does the whole account get tied to a chosen Town as far as loyalty goes ?

Bottom line is, can different characters pick different Towns for their loyalty ?

Also, does defending a town affect in any ways Bane or Ophidians' previous loyalty ?

In such a case, if a player wants to preserve either the Bane or the Ophidians' loyalty previously accumulated, how should they behave in regards to this new invasion ?

Thanks a lot.

I was also thinking that two or more towns might be "opposed" to each other, so that a gain in one town might not necessarily lower another town unless that town was "opposed" to another.

Also kind of makes me wonder why helping out one town would ever cause another town to dislike you more. It is not like you are hurting that town, just not necessarily helping them.

Trinsic.

I don`t need to know more,I`ll deal with the consequences when the time comes. Trinsic is where I started and have always gravitated to that town ever since.

Some mystery is nice,we don`t need to be spoon fed every little scrap of detail. At least I don`t. *shrug*

It's by character. Maharia my Tamer is respected in Yew, Devious my Archer is Adored in Mag. They are both Unknown in loyalty to every other town.

I wasn't around for the Bane event so I don't know how that would effect the current event.

As far i can test that is not the case. It seems as long your status is unknown in a town it won't drop if you rasie in my case Jhelom.
The next part i'm testing is that if all downs drop Loyalty when i raise Jhelom. For i can do that i'm going to raise all towns loyalty and then work on Jhelom again.

 

[Frarc]

I can say for certains, as long you don't get involveld in a towns "politics" and it stays unknown it will not change even if you raise one towns Loyalty.

But if you ones moved a town out of unknown and then move one towns loyalty up, every other town (that is no longer unknown) loyalty will drop fast.

Skara Brae all the way. I liked Skara in the old Ultima titles, did live near it in UO in the late 90ies on Drachenfels and still come back today for several purposes.

It's about time Mythic tries to repopulate the virtue towns. Nowadays everybody hangs out in Luna.
