Sit in one spot and spam any AOE spell
turn ins appear in pack
event over
yes, theres always scripters but this event is best played AFK. its basically impossible to even play a normal character because of the lag caused by automated grinders.
i wouldnt want a new player or a vet coming back to even see whats going on.
We do not have that issue in Fel, Oh wait they did not add Fel this time so looks like this event is over for me.
plus the eggs, which 90 percent are sucked up by rail accounts. this is the most script friendly event ive ever experienced.
I would have to agree that at least 50% of the players doing this event are using an illegal program.
I haven't stepped one foot back in Destard since the Curio Collector came...Eggs I can get lol, competing with what is happening in the dungeon I cannot.
Maybe change the spawn? Having it all spawn clumped up in one area over and over might not be the best idea.
Otherwise everything else I have enjoyed very much!
Yeah it’s really bad. It seems like a failure on ATL.
I don't play Atl, but every shard I went to Destard on last night, we all had a blast. Even if there were scripters there, it didn't stop me from getting tons of turn ins. I died like a thousand times, but still good solid fun. I think I got around 15 in an hour, so there seems to be plenty of time to get everything you want out of the event.
looks like the spawn rate, at least in some spots has been adjusted. Thankyou devs for your quick response. lag isnt nearly as bad now.
Spawn rate was fine. The issue was everything in one spot. The spawn area and both water ele areas had very few spawning Feys.
For me it's still laggy (on ATL) and honestly it's the same amount as it was before if not worse. So now instead of lagging out and getting rewarded for dealing with AOL Dial Up lag in 2022... we get to collect death robes and hopefully come out with 5-10 drops per hour?
No thanks.
If they can't severely reduce the lag (ie open up Fel or spread the spawn out) or undo whatever change they did to cripple the spawn rate then I'll probably just take a break for a few weeks until people get fed up with it and the bots get all their drops and just buy anything else I need from them.
I don't know why they wouldn't open up fel to begin with, at least on ATL. Horrible rollout and execution by the dev team. Space out the spawn and most importantly open up fel on ATL. This will limit the multi-boxers ability to sit in one place for a lengthy amount of time.
WELP I've asked for these drops/rewards to become account bound numerous times but everyone says "no thanks", blows me off and refuses. So now you all reap what you sew.
Account bound, NOT shard bound, was/is the way to go.
I got 69 drops from an unattended scripter I'm guessing. Was just a bag on the ground. I'm guessing they didn't want to lose them when they inevitably died and didn't insure.
I used a Mystic-Mage-Spellweaver yesterday on ATL and got almost 100 drops, but my butt will attest to having played for 6-7 hours. I played near the entrance on the fringe of what in call "Reaper Valley Destard" and cast Reaper summons and Thunder and Wind spells and Faerie Fire. Tons of peeps doing the same - if they were BOTs, I don't really care, for they were likely targets for the monsters to attack instead of them attacking me. Tomorrow I will try again and see how I do with th eslower spawn and drop rate.
He twist his own words to start trouble if pressed he replies afk doesn't mean unattended..we've seen this before
if you afk , at least on Origin, you die. No way it can me managed without use of a brain, so I don't believe you are afking, as much as you'd love everyone to believe yet another of your tales of heroics.
RE: Fel, perhaps the next event should *only* be in FEL.
That would sure mix up the dynamic. Or perhaps the reds would go extinct.
“the deceit and fire events, actually had an advantage to doing the event in fel as you got a lot more drops at the champ spawn.
but this actually still did not produce any pvp as the drops were insurable, none of them were prized or cursed so no reason to kill other players, just more profitable to kill monsters. Even if you kill the sampire bots, you went grey and all the legit players attacked you as they thought you were a danger to them.
Personal opinion removed”
“I am checking my PC at least every 3 hours or so as my char gets too full with artis so…
it is not the players fault their attendance is not required
if you want to report me in game, I am the guy stood next to the other 50 afk guys”
Some players like to play against other players, some prefer to play against the computer and some are ok playing both. UO learned a long time ago players can choose from various alternatives so UO provided them in game. That dos not say anything positive or negative about those that choose to play one way or another. Thought most of these events held in Tram were also held in Fel. Maybe they should be in both or in one of the other areas that does not have two facets.
When they put them in Fel in a dungeon with no champ spawn, no one goes to Fel. It is about the greed of wanting more drops from killing low HP mobs in bulk.
Remove the dungeon tag from spawn mobs and then let it be in Fel.
Honestly, I will never understand why, rather then addressing the root of the AFK issue by detecting whatever account is using unauthorized Third Party software in order to be able to run the account automatedly, and banning these accounts which, to my understanding are in breach of Ultima Online's Terms of Service, it is preferred to change, modify gameplay mechanics....
Personally, I think that altered gameplay mechanics as a counter to the use of scripted Third Party ultilities, in the end, penalize, perhaps sometimes even more, also the legittimate player who does not use Third Party utilities to script and run accounts whether AFK or multiple at once.
I would very much prefer, instead, if the Developers addressed this issue by going to the root of it, that is, detect the use of not allowed Third Party utilities, and ban the accounts using them and, possibly, if these are just EJ accounts but in the end there is a "main" subscribed account that benefits from this practice against UO's TOS, ban those "main" subscribed accounts too...
That is at least my opinion of it.
