My mule just fell to his knee's weeping with joy!
Siege need Fel bonus!!!!!
Based on the Dev comments, it takes exactly the same number of digs under the new rules as it did before... you just get nothing in between. I suppose that means you can did the same 8x8 tiles longer, but really doesn't make two ****s worth of difference if you need 4000+ granite. I don't see ANY reason granite needs to be any more uncommon than ingots.
We need the dbl resource bonus as well as the Luck. Devs, is it not possible to actually show the Felucca luck bonus in the status ? I would have way more faith and confidence in this system if that were added. @Kyronix @Bleak ? Simply telling us its there isn't enough, it should have always been a visible bonus, also, those of us on Siege know that we don't get either a luck or a resource bonus, can one of you at least tell us that's by design ?
Well people are saying they have been getting double the amount of granite per number of digs, so...
Haven't seen that posted in this thread or in the publish notes.
I suspect this change was introduced to try to decrease the ghost spawn problem on the EC.
I wouldn't think so. The ghost spawn can show up anywhere, not just champs. I've had them in the myrmidex pits, in the void pool and on Friday I had one in the shadowguard bar. Amusingly the same ghost pirate showed up in my instance of the fountain. It must have been created in the same space. They seem to somehow be related to things you've attacked but which die while you are off screen from them. I set my EV on that one, but had moved a few tiles away to provo the other pair when it was at very low health.
The ghost spawn seem to happen on areas with a high amount of spawn, like the ones you mentioned.
Plus it just drags the time frame out considerably. I find it ironic that the places where spawn overruns people (the Queen's nest, for instance) is working as intended, but places where no one is raising hell about spawn gets the spawn decreased...I rate this bug fix right up there with the change of runebook artwork and randomized ore and wood. WTG guys
Yeah that's odd. Does dex apply to vet again (please no), are they mistaken on it applying to tinkering, or does it only apply to tinkering?
I agree and ALL of Siege needs it not just "Fel" on Siege...
And on this we are in complete agreement
The theory was to make it as much like pre tram and bit more difficult with the higher prices and no shop selling. But all of the imbalances added overtime made that segment of Siege simply untenable for most.
Whoa whoa whoa, you guys dropped the spawn rate at champ Spawns?Still more to come to TC
We are speaking about Siege, not Seige
Again - my understanding is that this is supposed to be a shard with all-around higher difficulty. That is the reason it should not have a bonus. If they give Siege the Fel bonus for resources, it wouldn't bother me.
I certainly understand your effort of wanting to bring your home shard back to life and give you tons of credit for always promoting Siege with passion. But it's going to take more than a resource bonus to be shard back to life, although I suppose ever little bit helps.
I think people who don't play there shouldn't voice their opinions.
Still needs to be shorter. A few seconds at the maximum
No. The spawn rate has not changed.
Spend a full year on Siege and get back with us.
Come on Garth you expect to be treated like a paying customer?
It looks like it was a scheduling error on our part and apologize. Stay tuned to UO.com for an updated time in the near future.
I used to play Siege, but didn't like it and left, so my opinion is as valid as any, especially when considering all the people that whine about wanting UO to return to the pre-Trammel days. My understanding has always been that Siege shard was created, in part, to be more difficult and challenging and represent some of that 'older UO' feel. Having the various bonuses of the prodo shards, i.e. Fel bonuses, should remain on the prodo shards.
I've already spent more time then that on Siege.
Recently, like in the last decade?
It means before the change the champ spawn mobs would be created until they hit a cap. With this change, the cap has been reduced. The rate at which the mobs are being created has not changed, only the maximum number that will spawn.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh okay that totally makes sense now, so if you kill spawn super-fast it will take longer for new ones to spawn, thanks for clarifying that!
If you kill spawn super-fast, the rate at which they respawn is the same as before the change. The rate has not been changed, only the total number of mobs that will spawn before spawning stops.
Can you shed some light on what the performance issue was? I've done every spawn there is and never saw or heard anyone complain about performance... EM events are much more of an issue than champ spawns in my experience.
No matter how you spin this it reduces the amount of spawn you can kill in a given time, increasing the amount of time to do the spawn.
Maybe I imagined it then, but I seemed to have many less targets to hit and it took a long time to kill enough to gain a candle. Yes, the spawn rate is the same, but it seemed to me fewer of them spawned when that happened?
Similar code for similar functionality?? What did you smoke before that post??
It was, but years and years of bleed over code and no shard/siege ruleset specific development left it a mess, and because of those unintentional changes we need some adjustments to balance things out. Fel bonuses would help, at least somewhat, and I assume would require little to no dev time.
