It's the 16th so right at mid month and with people already clamoring for it to be extended the longer we  wait the more It's gonna drag into other things 

normally stuff like this goes live on tuesdays so im guessing tomorrow

Relax, take a deep breath. You will have at least 6 weeks. 

I'm getting bored playing with my little wizard toy. Let's get it live!

Yes @keven2002 I also feel those are the only things that need addressed. Then let's get the thing rolled out to the excited players!

I think anyone who noticed the drop rate saw it is a lot lower than other events. @RonFellows brought it up also on the first day, I commented that Garth is gonna hate it after I played 30 minutes.

We don't plan on adjusting the cost of any of the items at this time. 

Reactive holy light will cast holy light when a non-PvP aggressor attacks the wielder.  It works like other reactive properties and casting power is based on casting holy light as if it were done via chivalry.

Certain areas of the overland are excluded from the event, as are certain creatures.  This is done intentionally.  The overland spawn areas can spawn any combination of creatures - remember Treasures mobs are randomly chosen each server up.  There are some mobs that will always be included, and some that will never be included.

We can dynamically adjust the density - we won't be making these adjustments until sufficient observation period on each shard.  Based on results the drop rate is in line with our intentions.  We will be dramatically increasing the rewards points that are awarded from paragon mobs. 

Stay tuned to UO.com for publish updates and thanks for all the feedback.

Well, I hope that you will rethink this...

This Event will have a quite short span time and there is several desirable items that many players will want to get... the Ozimandia's Hiryu alone takes 150 points and many players who have a dexer and do not have a Paroxysmous mount might want to get it...

Not everyone can spend hours upon hours daily playing UO.... many players have only a limited time to play in a week, often only during the weekend..... and to earn close to a thousand of points if not more, in little over a month, might become impossible for many players...

Gargoyles get nothing for damage reduction buy a swampy and some armor for it 

Thanks love the paragon boost. Disappointed that Hiryu forest is excluded and the Tsuki Wolf spawn at Yamandon peninsula is not included.

Also think the deco hiryu is too expensive. 

very disappointing the cost of the Hiryu will not be adjusted

The Deco Hiryu was such an unexpected surprise.  We all want one for use or deco.  The price is high.

I want them for my Zoo!

ya 1 for each deco and use but 300 is far to much so just deco for me

Will the Potion of Glorious Fortune be available in the UO store?

Yes 

Skett said:

Yes 

By yes he means maybe because sometimes it's yes and others no and a few time in the middle then not so really maybe soon

Did you play it on the Test shard? How long does take to get 1 item drop?

Paragon change isn’t live yet on TC1.

What was your total luck?

Then add today for testing and live tomorrow?  Maybe if the goal was mid month starting testing on the 10th a better plan

I think this confirms 2 things.

1. Luck will matter for this event.
2. It is not going live today, possibly not tomorrow neither.
   

Luck has mattered for a while 80% of my characters wear max luck functional suits i won't be adding the new items no matter how fantastic they are 

I was averaging 30-35 drops per hour before paragon change

Yeah I was testing the *I'm not a power gamer, don't have a lot of time to play, just want to be casual and kill small stuff and not get stressed out* kind of person. Most people testing are in the I GOTTA GET IT ALL!! Category lol.  I don't wanna be stressed out trying to mass grind all the hard mobs trying to get as many drops as possible.  The Waste is going to be nice for the casual, I really don't want to spend my hour or two of game time dying over and over kinda person.

They usually don't to changes like that to TC. Those are done when it goes live.

They just don't put minor tweeks in TC.  They put major changes.

We tested the basic operation. And had a record number of comments.

Testing is done.  Notice he has not replied in the Test Center thread since last week.
Except to tell us Frost Mites are not included.
And he Thanked everyone for the feedback.

Lets Roll With This!

How did the testing go? Were there too many issues?

That would explain the long awaited patch not happening today. May be they need few more days fixing bugs?

Testing went well, no bugs associated with the event that would cause issues.  There may be small bugs that get thru or are introduced.

Where are you getting your info? You 100% made this up.

There are still several questions/concerns on reactive holy light that I have yet to see be addressed. It's hard to actually test a 10% random reactive property so some info is kind of needed here.

Another person has also posted that their reactive holy light has fizzled which I think is a defect/bug... a reactive spell (ie not actively casted) should never fizzle... can you imagine how many people would complain if they "fizzled" their hit lightning spell on a weapon?

Until otherwise answered by Kyronix, I think this is a potential bug that would be an issue.

That doesn't even touch on the fact that my other questions were never answered so we can't even properly test the functionality. If Chiv/karma factors into damage or if it doesn't completely changes how the spell should work and if there is a bug (depending on the answer).

I mean at the end of the day, it’s a 10% reactive chance for holy light.  What does that do, 4-5 damage?  Hardly a show stopper imo.

He can tell us formulas later.

How was I wrong? The publish rolled out 10 seconds later. Testing was done.

They can fix minor issues on live shards. 

The fizzle issue should be resolved.  I already said in another comment that it functions just as if you were casting the spell.

Thanks Kyronix

Same here for me - the Waste and Kappa, quantity not quality. I'll rotate characters to take advantage of Luck Statue rub (my 1st account chars get 1350 w/rub so I don't need to modify suits).
