why is the harrower loot so bad? It should be comparable with shadowguard, you have to slay every champ boss (which even those you get the odd legendary from).
The harrower is definitely harder than the shadowguard roof bosses.
absolutely in favor of this! +1
ALL loot is bad now, you can litterally find lesser artifact junk just lying around on the floors these days. Mostly mob fighting is pointless now also as the junk that comes on the body is just....meh!
Well I’ve stated before a solution to power creep, simply return brittle to what it was (75 durability)
They made a mistake in the first place by raising it to 255 as brittle was new and people wrongly thought it made armour lose durability faster than normal so requested the raise.
Now that we are better informed, I’m sure a lower durability is now welcome.
The most recent content will always give the best stuff to entice players to upgrade their accounts. Marketing 101
While I do enjoy the new content this strategy doesn't bode well for overall gameplay in a platform as complex as UO's.
What they should do is make the newest content loot different or unique, not 'better' so that theres a reason to go to both.
Unfortunatly they are thinking in terms of "modern" MMO's when it comes to loot in this game. The thing they forget is this aint a level driven game where every 12 months they poop ot some new expansion and "up" the loot to a higher level for content.
This is a classic MMORPG and what's happening is a loot divide where loot is increasing so to "even it out" they make the mobs have harder to compensate but this doesn't help the lower level player who now has to find arti quality loot to be able to stand a chance in "group" fights or PvP.
It was a BAD design choice and dare i say, a lazy one at that but this is what we have now so we are now at the point where you give a new player an outfit of "lesser artifact" and they are like "what?...can i even wear this cheap thing, you not got any legendary stuff?"
I made a thread about this on stratics before. I totally agree. When you consider the “risk” the reward is terrible. Yes you get stat scrolls but most players have had these on their characters for years. Give harry an uber loot bump and make fighting over it a big deal again.
I agree that it needs a bump. Give it the loot of the roof encounter with a couple of new artifacts that could drop.
I got a cameo and a hawkwinds robe in a single roof run lastnight, not to mention a ton of artifacts... way easier than harrower or fighting all the champs.
yea, and you could easily do all the champs and a harrower (if no one raids) and there's a very high chance you won't even see any legendary items in the loot on any of them.
Along with the loot needing upgraded they also need to update the harrower itself. I think the harrower is too easy to kill right now. I know its supposed to be more about the pvp, but there are people who run them on dead shards and farm them up. I posted about it before, but update the harrower so it can not only move in both forms but also spawn more tentacles then just between forms. Just my two cents.
I agree. Harrower should drop the best loot in the game, not Shadowguard.
I think stat scrolls is pretty good loot..that's why we do the Harrower, isn't it? Not for loot..for stat scrolls..which you can't get anywhere else in the game....if you want loot go do something else...my opinion anyway, sorry I'm the odd man out here 🙂
Stat scrolls have lost most of their value and don't sell for much. Regular power scrolls are way more expensive than stat scrolls now
With new and returning players they might need those stat scrolls you know?
You cannot give stat scrolls to pets so they have remained low value.
If we add stat scrolls to pets, then the Devs would have to increase the stats or difficulty of many different monsters to compensate for the increased power of the pets.
People are acting like power creep is an ultimate evil. It's not. Without power creep, there would be no need to keep playing once you get all the best stuff. Every good MMO has it. Every great MMO has it calculated and planned.
