What is everyone doing now?

Just wanted to see what everyone else has been doing now that is has been a week since the event officially ended. I started doing other stuff probably mid treasures event due to my overall disappointment with how it ended up so just wanted to see how others were passing the time to see if maybe I've overlooked something to do. 

Providing a poll of things I've kind of done over the past month or so but also giving an "other" option for something I might have missed. I'm sure people have done more than one so when you vote just pick the option that has taken the most of your time (ie best fit)
#1
Resource gathering mostly - mining for saltpeter & ingots, goblin spawn for goblin blood, citadel for spellweave scrolls and really good chiv/mage gains on a variety of pets. Stocking vendors and crafting stock, catching non-tamer pets for my pet stall, building up Sacrifice on all fighting chars so I'm ready for the next event. Digging up the maps that piled up during the event.

Sometimes I spend a little time in Void pool gathering points to spend on maps and talis from Vela. As a group, I've been on hunts to Blackthorn's too.
#2
Playing less but when I do...Some resource gathering (need feathers and arrows), a bit of treasure hunting, a little decorating, probably going to do some pirate hunting soon.
#3
I don't have time to play a lot weekly and it takes a lot to retain my attention so i put other. I have 6 hours in this event at best. 

I do little things that bring me consistent gold and building a goodie bag when i finally get shard shields. 

I've really been thinking about starting completely new on another shard and working my way up. 
#4
I always start my day with trying to clean my houses.
but then i get easily distracted.

example: I came across snake charmer flutes
so I went down into the Abyss to try to get Medusa eggs.
when I went to put up that stuff I needed to pull out my crafter
so she could put that stuff away.
And since I was on her, I remembered that I hadn't checked my stumps and sheep.
I put that stuff away. And then had to take my miner to collect my ore from the ore cart.

then I decided to go back to trying to clean house.
I came across a SOS and decided to stop cleaning house
and go fish up the part I needed for zipy.
then realized I had about 100 MIBs, so I opened them.
I got about 5 of them, so I went out to get the white nets they provide.
(now about 100 SOS later, I finally drydocked my ship)

next time, I might try to clean house
but usually when I start to do that
I just switch to doing BODs

=======

when I pay attention to the time
I go to guild events
last event I attended was shadowguard

#5
Restocking vendors and shopping. 

Then some of the hundreds of other things that you can do in UO.
#6

Need an all the above choice below #5.

It is a good list of things to keep you entertained for hours and hours.

There's a million other things to do. It's just most aren't worth doing. 

Besides farming for gold and resources, the problem is the team has almost made it where nothing is really worth doing anymore but a few select things for decent armor. Now i can understand the rewards being limited.

To give you 1 more thing to complain about?

The announcement will follow. I yelled out on LS and will continue all day.

Also we find stuff before the devs are ready.  These were probably put in by hand and they are not finished. So they will announce when complete.

Why do you always label asking for communication as complaining?

Awesome! Thanks, Larisa and Pawain. :-)
#17
I’ve mainly been using my scribe. Making spellbooks, filling them, putting them on a vendor. I don’t really need the gold but I find it rewarding to make things that people actually buy.

Well just as I stated, once all shards got them, they were announced.

The new lanterns are great. Thanks for the tip. Many times the messages do not show up during the patch prior to sign in, so I miss notices like this. As for what I have been doing, Thieving through all the different spawn locations.
#20
We should pay attention to what @Cinderella says. When UO.com is down between events you should look for goodies.
#21
I see @Larisa collecting hers on Legends.

I would like to work on Bulk Order deeds also to reduce my stock of BODs...

But then, I think about the issues related to having to continuously move resources in and out of my backpack, to have to fill crafted items in the BODs 1 at a time and I get deterred and abandon the idea....

I wished, that there was a Working Station available whereas one could lock it down and it could store unlimited amount of resources as all locked down containers can do BUT, this one Working Station special container, the crafter could use the tools in one's own backpack on the unlimited resources that the Working Station can store and, the BOD in one's own backpack would automatically detect the crafted item and, if matching with what the BOD needs, it would automatically be filled into the BOD without the crafter having to do it 1 item at a time...

This way, filling BODs would be way more player friendly and way less annoying...

Just set the tool to craft X items using the Working Station stored resources, and watch the BODs in one's own bacpack self-fill without needing to do anything else...

A dream come true and a much more player friendly BOD filling.....

WOW Who fills BODs one at a time other than you.  Maybe you should read about all the new tools that are on BODs.  Guess you haven't done BODs in what over 5 years.  Maybe you should just ask the DEVs to fill them for you.

you keep asking for a work bench to store resources.

I actually would prefer that you could create items
with supplies from your bank
(this is done in other games, so it is doable)
of course, it might be a little bit trickier if you have different colors of cloth there

I actually use EC to do my BODs though
because you can create a restock feature
(you can use the miner & lumberjack satchel for the destination container)
1 click and it refills

[they really need to add a tanner satchel for the different leathers)


#31
Hoping the cap on doubloons will be raised and black market will get new items
#32
Finishing a couple of characters and reducing inventory.  Created a character on Atlantic just to see what things sell for there and to look around.  May explore a few other shards.  Maybe do a few treasure chests on my home shard.

You can collect the Pixie Lanterns on all shards and sell them for 5M or so, or trade them for one on your shard to collect more.

I log on once every 10-12days to refresh boats, log out, then go play Elden Ring, Warframe, Battlefield, or whatever new high rated game has come out. Occasionally I try whatever new free ps+ downloads available.

I lack the technical skills required to create, modify, or run all the 3rd party scripts and 3rd party clients needed for competitive play nowadays. 

**Sarcasm there... I have the skills however imho any game you have to cheat to play isn't worth playing. I keep my account active in hopes of a brighter future.
#39
Watching everyone, bash each other on the various forums and eating lots of popcorn. 
#40
For what it's worth; with 24 votes right now the highest percentage chosen is "play UO less" at 37.5% which is at least 20% higher than the next highest choice. It looks like I am not alone.

Hopefully more content is on the way soon before people start to find other things to do outside of UO. I know that's why I stopped playing for about a year way back because Xbox came out with Call of Duty and I bought it because UO was getting a bit stale; it was more fun playing CoD than UO so after a few weeks I stopped logging into UO and played CoD for a year or so (eventually getting bored of that).

Sit there all day spinning a wheel?  B)

Jk - but all of those would essentially fall into option 2 (hopefully that is what you picked)
#44
yeah, I picked #2.
That wheel is not ALL I do, its just what I spin every week to pick a hunt when I am not stocking vendors/crafting etc.  I just find its super helpful to remind myself just how much content there is out there to do.  UO is far from boring.

Its funny that people aren't playing as much.
Everyone complained when the events were too close together, "it was too intense, we need some downtime".

Many of the many things there are to do have become outdated with rewards that no longer have value....
#46
The risk vs reward factor just is not there.  And, I now don’t see a lot of the players I used to see a couple of years ago. And, the inflation has gotten so out of control if you don’t have a house and a vendor to sell the drops and rewards you get, you can’t get enough gold to buy any thing.  I am playing less too.  Yes there is a lot to do agree with that but am losing interest in doing it.  Sorry.

It’s the summer. I’m glad we’ve got a lull in content for a bit so people can enjoy themselves away from the computer.

Ironic this post (likely from the computer) is about "away from the computer".  

As you and many others know, when it comes to UO it's all about choices. I'd prefer to actually have new content to do. If you want to be away from your computer during the summer then feel free to do so. Nothing is requiring you to be at your computer playing UO; that is just your choice.

Also if the event went on the next 45 days there would be plenty of time for you to go enjoy the summer for the first half and enjoy the event the second half (or vice versa). It should be plenty of time for you to do both since you seemed pretty good at Destard (when everyone else was saying drops were slow you disagreed). At least at that point everyone has the choice to play new content compared to now nobody has a choice because there isn't any. 
#49
If you want to go down the spiral of personal choice when it comes to the game, one could easily suggest it’s also your choice to be disappointed that there is no content right now as opposed to you just doing something else. That’s why that’s not really a strong argument in my eyes. There’s always a “well why don’t you do this!” rebuttal.

So instead, let me rephrase my position. I understand why, from a business perspective, the devs aren’t doing a summer event as likely the regular player base is engaged elsewhere. Why invest a ton of time into summer content when historically engagement is low? 

I’m also glad that the spring event has ended because, unlike arguments on the internet, everything in this universe is finite.

Constant new content would be madness and would create, on normal people what is known as BUNOUT! 3 yearly new contents are well and enough for most people, after which one needs to take a vacation from UO

I don't think I ever said we needed new content implemented now. Jepeth kind of made that assumption with the whole summer break thing. 

I will clarify what I said. I hope that there is some more content soon. What I meant is that I'd be fine with just knowing what to expect for the rest of the year so I could plan accordingly. I don't think giving us a quarterly or even semi annual (H1 & H2) roadmap is too much.

Based on when we would have new content they could sprinkle in older events like town invasion or Yukio etc just for something different than the usual everyday stuff people have already become burnt out on. So we would get the idea of what content is to come and get some older stuff added in hit or miss. Aka more content soon. Going another 3 months without anything different to do or even a glimmer of hope isn't helping the subscriptions.

I would agree that 3 new contents would be plenty each year, but I'd consider the Spring Fever event we just had 1 event. I personally think the Devs go too long without new content (ie Jan-Mar this year before their first global event) and then once they start leave them on too long (ie Spring Fever Apr-Jul). I've said this in previous post - a full dynamic event should be 3 months total with a month in between as a break before the next one. That would give us 3 per year.
#55
To clarify we have not had actual new content since eodon everything we've gotten is recycled with shiny new pixel crack.  the whole point of the new  of systems was easy deployment so they could give us things to do while they focus on NL

exactly, and it was communicated as such. I fully understood it to be that way and I'll wait for NL to be released before passing judgement on it. as far as the rest of it, the game is fun as it is and I enjoy it. if that ever changes then @McDougle and the rest of my friends will know it because they'll have full mailboxes and FB IM's saying to come get the rest of my S**t.

Well, I didn't have any archers before the event that I played regularly, so I am doing more things with them and seeing how they fit in my world of UO.  Fun fact: they can do everything lol...So I have spent some imbuing resources making sure they all have full sets of slayers and high end gear to crush whatever content I decide to use them in...but mainly for future events because Sarkon loves slayer talismans that don't come from the roof.

Archers are fun and you can fit it into almost any template. I have even used -mage slayer bows on casters for some free archery and some really sweet extra damage.

I did that too.  I have a Mystic/Mage with a suit designed to make use of the -20 mage weapon.  I changed out his usual leaf blade to a magical shortbow...way better.  It has become part of his offense rather than just his defense.

Smart! I had a discord mystic i used a -mage (not spell chan) slayer shortbow with mana leech. People don't realize regular hits without specials can do some really good damage.

After all these years, playing off and on, I finally settled into the Test shard to see what I can do besides design a castle or keep for the contests. So far I am actually enjoying it and can see how valuable it is. Right now I have been going to work testing a lot of what I have been reading about on the thread about Enhancing, and reforging and Imbuing in general. I can see this would have saved a great deal of time and effort had I came here a long time ago.

I have, and I did. I suppose in my limited time playing in years past I never wanted to spend it on Test Center. I have quickly realized how much time and effort I would have saved had I been patient and come here before.
#66
Test Center is Awesome.  I have skilled new pets to 120 skills in between the time they are on TC and released worldwide to test them in advance.

Done lots of crafting.  Figured out many game mechanics.

Example.  Battle chicken lizard stats are determined when the egg is opened, you cant take eggs to TC to see the stats in advance.  Same with Triton Statues.

Update from me on what I've been doing... most things related to UO unfortunately have not been in game but rather the forums.

I did do a Piper and Rikktor spawn this week out of boredom. My thought was to chain a few spawns in the AM but I stopped after the first spawn and they ended up being done on separate days because I became bored with the killing the first few levels of spawn.

I think my new thing will be to do one different spawn each day until I have a set of skulls. I've solo'ed everything already except Oaks. I'm thinking it shouldn't be too hard given the new Fey tali. Anyone have any pointers on how to be the most efficient at doing that spawn (most other spawns take me around 30min)?

Test Center is Awesome.  I have skilled new pets to 120 skills in between the time they are on TC and released worldwide to test them in advance.

Done lots of crafting.  Figured out many game mechanics.

Example.  Battle chicken lizard stats are determined when the egg is opened, you cant take eggs to TC to see the stats in advance.  Same with Triton Statues.
Too bad, that there is no <setLuck> command available on Test Server to also Test worn Luck....
Because copying your character with thier luck suit is impossible 
What if you don't have a luck suit but you want to test results with and without luck?
Well good thing you have unlimited crafting supplies runics and the ability to set crafting skills not to mention most of the luck arties

When the last event ended I vowed that I would start emptying 5 full Davies Lockers. Woe is me, I had forgotten that almost every chest that's done has another 1 or 2 in it like y'all mentioned. Other than that growing cane, cocoa and flax to be prepared for the Artisans Festival, doing a few bods here and there. Blunder beacons, a few Stygian Dragon runs with some good folk. And the last couple weeks haven't been in game much as the garden is doing what gardens are suppose to do. Take up all your time and energy.

So lots of gardening and canning is being done in my spare time. But I'm taking off Friday and Saturday to go camping up in MI. My son, whom I never see often enough, is running in a marathon that's in the woods so mama is going to go cheer on her loved one and stare into the fire at night and appreciate the time spent with him and his lady.

The next phase of the game is not about nostalgia. It should be designed to connect the oldies to the young. The 3% who is left in the game shall guide the 97% new players that will once again full up all the shards and free housing land shall be scarce again.

They need to upgrade the game to attract new and young players, while keeping us, the ancient ones, around to guide the young. 

They should finish up NLS quickly and then focus on a completely revamped game that can go viral quickly... NOT to please the pathetic few of us left but to ATTRACT NEW AND YOUNG PLAYERS!!!!!!

Oaks goes slower because many avoid the karma loss mobs. Fey slayer should wipe the spawn out pretty fast.

Yes been awhile.  But remember you don’t have to kill everything when doing Oaks.  You don’t lose karma if you don’t kill the right things that don’t attack you if you leave them alone but have forgotten which things not to kill. Think you lose karma on Oaks though but not on the other things that attack you.  Fey slayer works wonders for my mage.

Not super worried about the karma loss - I use my sampire to kill most things so I feel like I could work back the lost karma pretty quickly. If by killing everything I will be able to complete it in 30min I'd do that over picking things to kill and it taking an hour.

I farmed Miasma to bring my fame back up.  Took a break. Then started doing t-maps.

If they are still too busy NLSing, then they should make the final 2022 event a real blast... say put all the Mondain, High Seas, Doom, Abyss, Shadowguard etc new bosses inside one dungeon or city, enable all leeches, all non shard bound, and let us have a really good time killing all the bosses together at one go... wow the best dynamic event ever.

And a new 7-in-1 slayer cameo Talisman as a rare drop.

I have been working Sacrifice on demons. I only recently learned the connection to resurrecting self by watching Rabid Sniper's sampire tutorial on Youtube.
