town crier might yell out a set of sextant coordinates that don't mean anything to me,

I mess with a sextant last month for an IDOC, I was about to give up after 15min when i spotted 2 red.. followed them and voilà.

Before the event even start I was saying: no way i'm gonna rage on the sextant hunt event.


As far as I know 2 manifestations were summoned on legends today.. i'm not missing much.. it was fun beating down portal trying to help tamer running for their lives casting an lor xen on the only manifestation I did.

If I ever gonna do another one.. I'm going dual account.

LOL NOOB.  We dont feel sorry for you not knowing what a sextant is or how to use  it.  The boss sits there 5 min before it turns red.  Plenty of time to run there.

I've done two, got the bow and some cards.

Wallow in self pity somewhere else or take the dang gate and quit whining.

Lots on LS think:

The new event is so much fun!

Lore page of Boss:


Cu works fine.  Resists so high any pet would work.  I have yet to see anyone die from him or the adds.

Warrior:  Another dismount Boss...  Disarms too, but like a pet does, not often.

If you are using EC, and in Trammel, when you get the coordinates set up a midpoint on the map and give it a name like yu.  Then look on the map for the red midpoint marked yu.  That’s where you need to go.  I keep my map pretty clean so it’s usually the only midpoint on the map.  I use a rune book containing about eight runes for various landmarks around Trammel so i can recall to quickly to be area closest to the midpoint.  I will use a gate if someone casts one, but most of the time with events like this one, I am somewhere else.  Know CC map has some kind of limitations but this method works pretty good for EC.  Will start doing this event tonight.

Excited to see how we do on baja tonight with the off sharders gone

Came here to talk about these intended features that give other templates a chance to do events.

Kinda like u not knowing how to use a sextant, works as intended tho.

Eodon manifestation? fuck me  🙁

KroDuK said:

Eodon manifestation? fuck me  🙁

Yup.  Wherever the map is done that brings him up.  Cant gate there either.  😂

This has not been a good night for me, on Atlantic.
3 manifestations.
1st. I could not get there in time.
2nd. The boss died so fast I never even saw it.
3rd. I made it, I attacked boss, I never got looting rights. 

Bug report - Eodon Manifestation text is so long it cannot actually give the co-ordinates so it is pure luck to find it.

A lot of wasted time waiting around for nothing, then achieving nothing.

At least on Europa, I'll have my treasure hunter, and be able to get around faster.
But for a day 1 experience, this was as bad as it gets for me. Did not enjoy it, felt I should have done. 🙁

So the event is so popular, you have to do a lot of damage on Atlantic to get a drop.

get insta-killed by script-targeters

I feel you on that one, such a shame of fun wasted content, stupid cheat engine went mainstream cuz of mismanagement.. just had the third one on Legend.. this manifestation wouldn't stop disarming unlike the first one I did.. I just decided to deal portal on the paladin, and lure the creeps into my thief for EV's support.

Was a solid 10 min of fun.. both satchel were disapointing tho.. I got a murder mystery cursed despair bottle.. nothing in the patch notes and i'm scared to dbl click it.

I can't enter eodon, i'm not paying for free stuff.. the infuriating part is the most worthy map are all eodon if i'm not mistaking. 

I can't wait..

Yeah it's "popular" because it's so good, right? Everyone's having so much fun stumbling around while monsters they can't see get insta-killed by script-targeters once an hour. Good job devs on making such a "popular" event.

God you're pathetic.

You choose to play on Atlantic.  We all get drops every round on LS.

So according to you, they can make an unpopular event that is so crowded that yall cant get drops.
Sounds like genius development!  Id hate to see a popular event then.

your so disingenuous..

Not a huge fan of the recycled content of the Krampus mechanic.

However, it sure beats the mind numbing killing of stuff for turn in points, aka the TOT mechanic.

Best part though is all the "press play and go to sleep" bots are incredibly salty they can't afk farm this content. That's priceless, and for that alone, A+ event

Who cares what you and the other five people on your dead shard get? Are they paying you to be a stooge or something? They could attach limited-time items to any piece of garbage content and get a bunch of multiboxers to show up on Atlantic.

Instead of banksitting, I kill butchers and Grimms. Then go to town when they make gates for the boss.

Maybe think out of the box. And not just copy what others do.

Lord_Nythrax said:

How did the person who thought of this system even pitch it to everyone else?

"So tmappers do all the work, right? Everyone else gets enforced banksitting if they expect to participate. Then when the boss pops, we don't put it at a fixed location or offer gates, we have everyone run there on foot. Running and clicking a sextant counts as fun gameplay, right? Yeah so anyway we have everyone on Atlantic converge on like one boss per hour tops so that it's a total trainwreck where the boss dies in one second, while dead shards barely see the boss at all."

They probably envisioned this as some grand collaborative effort, but they have a very difficult time predicting how their designs will actually translate into human behavior, because they're not very good at this. When one of these events turns out to actually be fun, it's basically a coincidence.

@Lord_Nythrax I saw at least one treasure hunter on Europa ask for volunteers to help with the spawn on his Trove map. You could offer to help with spawn? You don't have to be a treasure hunter to help kill the guardians any more than you are forced to sit at the bank with your glass of wine.

@KroDuK I'm really tired of reading your nasty comments about Boardsword. Learn the name of the damn company! it's BROADSWORD. B R O A D not B O A R D.

PS: mocking dyslexia ain't cool 

I agree bank sitting is boring, so I don’t do it. Personall, I take my trapper out. Complaining about not having one to take part is sort of like whining you can’t get drops without a sampire. It’s been said in other events not everything is fo or every template. Just because you choose not to have a tamper doesn’t mean others aren’t enjoying the change. So take part or don’t but for gods sake stop whining.

that was me, ive spawned 4 bosses so far on Europa and will always open gates for anyone wanting to join in

Lord N, you can also use this site - it has rough co-ordinate maps for each facet also - https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/world/facet-maps/

gg, but keep in mind the OP is on ATL.. this seems to be a shit show.. cheaters and scripter auto aiming when he can barely move cuz of the lag, and things die instant.

Pretty sure if u were hunting on ATL and missing on the manifestation cuz of multibox scripters.. u'd do your best to keep low profile and not open gates and praying the gods.. when in fact these cheaters got automated coordinates on top of auto aim free loot on your effort.

Overall, I can see why someone with no shield transfer would be piss on ATL for this event.. personally I'm still salty CC need to use a compass made with rock and water and other personal reason (a me thing) -.-

you just highlighted why ill never play on Atlantic :-) but they also arent getting any of the nice deco from the chests

Without ATL goal longterm.. I would have never return on UO (ghost botted town on legends)

A living shard is the best, once u get your thing straight.

@Fenriswolf did you have the balls to dbl click one of those potion?
And how much for the white shield?

Europa is lively enough.

Didnt realise you could click on the potions what do they do? Ill have plenty more of the shields by the end of the event will probably give them away. Already given away 2 bows

no idea if it does anything. I didn't had the balls to dbl click it.. it look like a satanical ceremonial item mine is a cursed cruet of despair.. i'm worried my toon could be eternally depress.

I was just assuming it's an item not a deco, since it came from the satchel. some type of beuverage that does something specific.

On legends except luna bank or my house.. i've seen & talk to one dude doing a spawn.. cross path with 3-4 person since june.. but i've seen multiple time the same 10 multi-box bots farming suff like oni & ararat.. and i'm seeing daily the same 4 bots on the heartwood grind 16/7.

yea i didnt get loot rights off the last boss, pretty sucky wasting all the maps for no main rewards

If we need to recycle content, next time can we just do a champ spawn as the boss content please? The whole champ spawn deal is more predictable and fair than the pseudo-Krampus.

The extra goodies for treasure hunting and taming are great, but tying the boss to t-maps is pretty lame.

oooo

They saying size does not matter.. but c'mon bro hide that thing! 

just realised one of them is 2 slot already, bit disappointing as stats arent much better than the 1 slot one. But i did manage to just get a 3 slot Dragonwolf out of a trove chest :-)

never knew of their existence.. they look great.. then I've seen the repond slayer stuff.. still gonna keep that in mind for PvE.. a personal cool looking WereWolf assistant.

Something similar but a bear could be dope.. not much PvPer running around with a bear slayer tali or a personal vampire (flapping wings/big bat form) for the same PvP reasoning.

Ya I'm so inconvenienced by them not sending the gate to the boss right next to me.  Sometimes I have to walk around and look for the gate.

am training him up atm, he is pretty solid. He also appears to be poison resistant? It doesnt note that on UO CAH?

what they could do is drop a map like the vendor maps into all Thunters packs when the boss spawns...

"Oh but if you attach this addon and then go to this website for reference..."

For what it's worth i've been using this website suggested by fenris: https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/world/facet-maps/

I mean yes, it feel like the dev team hates legit CC users.. but it was very helpful..
One thing i'm lost tho.. maybe i've read to fast the NPC was yelling 2 set of coordinates 23o 23n the second was like 41o 23n.. the second one had a yellow manifestation that just despawn on me 

The boss is the most huge boss ever.  Get there earlier and he is yellow and can't be attacked for 5 mins.  Grab the bar then.

Atlantic experiences a horrendous amount of lag when the boss spawns, and dragging the healthbar from the model, despite how big the boss is, doesn't work very well (at least on EC). For example, you can't drag from its wings. I suspect you have to drag more from the center, but it's frustrating to do so because there are so many players which conflict with the dragging. Additionally, I used the Murderer mobile healthbar dockspot, and the boss doesn't show up. I also tried to set a filter on the dockspot, and it also doesn't show up.

Pawain said:

Do you understand that you can show up on Atlantic, watch the entire thing, and walk away with absolutely no idea what the boss sprite even looks like? Stop talking about what you and the other four people on LS do like it's the least bit relevant.

Players on Atlantic do have a point, it is like this for you.

But the thing is also, it is your choice, you should spread out to the other shards, you've all chosen to be there, and do this to yourselves, stop complaining about it.
If the mechanics are working on 25 other shards, there is a bit of a clue for you.


In terms of the event itself - yes, the mechanics are not as good as I would have hoped for in general.
There is a disconnect between the treasure hunters completing the maps, and the people killing the boss and getting the rewards. It is hard to get to the boss fast enough.
I am not a fan of events at a set random time, that require the playerbase to be sat around watching like hawks, then running in, and quite often ending up disappointed.

I prefer events where you work for your rewards, not rely on luck. I prefer no disconnect. I prefer to be able to log on, and play in my own time, at my own pace, when I am able, not to be a slave to a 2 minute blink and you miss it event.

The one great decision about all of this, that is probably the only thing that can redeem all of this, is that the drops are not shard-bound. Ok, this event may go very badly for most players, but at least we will be able to shard trade, and balance out obtaining the drops we will want. It really would make sense to go to a quieter shard, and get the drops there, in that sense, the Devs are forcing a certain amount of game balancing.

Cookie said:

Ok my bad.. u clearly can do irony.. even if it's unintentional.  😂

For anyone new wondering Cookie is going after Nythrax here.. cuz Nythrax did denounce cheaters like biscuit using auto aim script/illegal client. (he's part of the problem for this event)

Just read my signature.. this is what Cookie thinks of the game under BS management.

So for the record, I am not going after Nythrax, I agree with him on a lot of things, I agree with quite a few of his points re this event.
I do think he tends to go overboard on the negativity. So I am pointing out, he does have options, he chose to be where he is.
I think the Devs may get some things wrong, but in general, I know they are human, I am not having a go at them.
Where I have what I think are good ideas, I try and put them forwards, I hope they get looked at, and if they fit, added. Otherwise, I keep on trying.

The truth is, in our Discord, I am raging, I am getting pissed off at this event, but we carry on - the guild help me get through this 🙂

I love the fact you quoted me in your signature, I get quoted a lot, it makes me laugh, especially as I was trolling you 🙂

I do believe in being transparent, it helps people know where I am coming from, so my "agenda" can be taken into account. Very often, you get no names, putting forwards poor suggestions, purely because they have an agenda to make money, or to profit from game mechanics - but they do not disclose who they are, or what their agenda is.
I am purely playing, my motivation is to have fun, I may not be doing everything 100% as the Devs would like me to, but If I am not, I try and explain why to them.
I am a pvper, I play in Felucca, I play in a team where I can. I do not think many of us have a voice, so I try to be one of those voices.

This is by far the weakest boss ever for an event. Please make it significantly stronger. Its killed in less than 10-20 secs on a dead shard. omg. Did you just put a lizard man specs on an event boss by accident?

How about I take your precious little opinions about where everyone else should play and put them over here in the garbage can, and the developers create content that entertains people properly in the game as it actually exists? I couldn't care less if the content works great on 25 empty shards or 2500.

How about you take your precious little tears and sit in a corner somewhere until your brain figures out a solution. 🙂

And that's enough!
