[Development] The event The Rifted Crown is in urgent need of modification

The event is in urgent need of modification. 

The absence of crafters without explosive ingredients causes the event to stall, which will lead to short-term disinterest when crafters with ingredients get tired or get the items they want. It is unrealistic and pointless, that the wall can take a blast from a crafter but will not accept a blast from a mage or can take hits from a weapon. Please correct this urgently 

Failure to modify this factor may result in the event being considered a failure. 

Picture of players waiting approx. 15-20 minutes (and that was one player, possibly longer) waiting for someone with ingredients to come and destroy a door.

From the time I took the original photo to this one, even longer, more people, totally blocked. 30 minutes wasted.

Yeah, the entire event belongs back on TC1. This was decently thought out but POORLY executed. 6 hours between rotation at minimum (if you can even get past certain stages!) is too long. 
#2

40 minutes of my capture and possibly 1 hour waiting for players because when I arrived they were already waiting.



I attach one minute snapshot to prove that it is true.


1 = 20:05
2 = 20:45

And it's still blocked, about an hour and the first day!

#3
now at 21:05 an hour ago with the door unopened, this is when one wonders for whom this event was developed, minorities or majorities? I am very, very disappointed and dissatisfied, 

honestly, I was expecting something entertaining.

how this major failure could not be seen in a Test Centre, unbelievable.



#4
@Parallax and @Kyronix ; agree 100%
A lot of shards are reporting the same thing, people sitting for hours and hours and nothing, the fact that you need to rely on someone to log and help crafting. good luck   Europa shard we were sitting for 4 hours until someone finally help.   Will be a goo idea maybe for very low population shards to keep the gates open all the time?
#5
Players asked for more templates to be involved in events, they do it, yall complain.  I guess yall did not do the Khaldun event.  You could do no damage without a crafter making your cadellite infused weapon or pet treat.

Would it help if I told you I got 25 drops and so much rubble from breaking walls and had to go drop it off before I wanted to finish it.

Posters say, bring back the bots!!
#6
How is it possible that, among so many players, none of them have crafters with 40, 50 Alchemy skill and Blacksmithy 75 ?

It is not like dedicated crafters with high skills need to be available to open the gates...
Not to mention that, every Template can operate the equipment, crafters are needed just to make it... why don't people get a stock from crafters or look up Vendor Search to get the Siege Equipment kits and the bombs ?
#7
Crafters haven't had time to build up a stock yet! Help them by farming reagents?

This.  Crafters should make a killing from the rubble alone that they get, but they do need the ingredients.

As I stated on discord either bring your own crafter or farm supplies your sense of entitlement is off the charts 
#10
It really sounds like this thread is made and endorsed by players who want to monetarily profit  from the events.

They can't be bothered to play UO.

They could lower the catapult requirement.   120 to 140 shots is a lot.   With the leeches waiting for a player who plays UO to break the walls.

I hope LS has breeched the city today without me on.  They do have resources. 

Great. Discord, another place to whine and complain until they can profit instead of have fun.

You are one of the wealthiest players in the game, you've got this 🙂

It was deliberate, I recognised all the botters waiting in that queue.

Thirded. I brought what I had for ammo to the event yesterday and my (very small) supply was depleted fast! I spent last evening farming crystalline blackrock but it is slow. If you are bored go kill void creatures and/or shadow/ dull copper eles for those sweet void orbs and crystalline blackrock. I don't think I will go back to the event until the weekend but when I do I am willing to help craft bombs for all; I simply don't have the ingredients yet
#13
Funny how a lot of these posters complaining are the ones asking for the devs to upgrade the Peerless etc drops.  ALL of those require gathering of "resources" before you can enter.

Devs, update items, posters complain they have to do something to get to those items.

Lower the amount of bombs and catapult hits should be the only modification to the event.

I told Popps he could have a lucrative business from crafting these items.  Drop runes at the city gate when the crowd is there. Someone will pay millions for the Bombs and Catapult kits.
#14
I have a couple hundred thousand crystalline blackrock, I get it mining a lot and surprisingly to some - I enjoy mining, lumberjacking.


I think this event is crazy awesome, haven't been part of the walls yet but everything else has been fun - very pleasantly surprised.

I don't seem to have a stock pile of void orbs though, and I think I need them. Where do those come from?



A request. Can next event have some sort of running around cutting down special events trees for the crafters do build something with? A boat, maybe a giant wooden horse to breach the city, or even a wooden captcha structure that makes you identify which of these pictures contain a fire hydrant.

@Community Manager  While doing the dungeon just now I noticed a way to solve the resource issue.

The Void Wraith has a bunch of necro regs on it, like 20 to 50 of each.  Solves the need for Daemon blood.  The void slugs have reagents.  Others have resources.

In the Dungeon part.
The Voidspawn Horror has nothing on it but some gold.  Put a chance of 5 or 10 Void Orbs and/or Crystalline Blackrock  on those.  5 Blackrock on the Void Slugs.

This would prove if the feedback is legit or just from lazy players that want things for free.

We can only loot the paragons there.  So its not like we will get too much.

But we will have to fight to earn them.

It was a bad idea to use Void Orbs.  Every crafted weapon can use up to 30 of those.

If this is feedback, the dungeon is too Easy without the Rift Daemons!  Ours were replaced with renamed Cocoanut Crabs,  They are ok but not tough enough.  Every other dungeon I notice when my Dragon Barding wears out,  today I did not, even in a crowd.

Yep, this is definitely the hardest spawn I have seen so far.

I think the others are easier than this.
#19
l’m shocked at people being unhappy with this event. I logged in right after server maintenance with my stealther and took out both the first two walls to get to the catapult pad then took out the city wall. Then stealthed into the city and hunted for chests. I had a blast. 

When fighters logged on they mopped up the spawn between the catapult pad and the city wall then entered the city and cleaned up in there. It wasn’t too long before the city was cleaned up and we could blow a hole in the north wall to make our way to the dungeon. 

How is it possible folks can’t find crafters to make supplies needed for this? Anyone can use the explosives and catapults. All you need is one well rounded crafter to make what you need. 

Anywho, I’m enjoying the event very much. And I’d like to thank the devs for their creativity on this one.

completely false and a comment made in the deepest ignorance and wickedness.

I didn't know you were another deceiver too, I'm glad the mask has fallen off and I've come to know you for what you are, I'll keep that in mind for the future.


Cookie said:

Another one of your fallacies, provocative and deeply evil comments, which is what nests inside you.

I already know you, there is little to add when the person has already been portrayed, exposed and humiliated for his shamelessness.

The biggest scammer, botter as you say and deceiver of this community I have ever met, is you.


1) For the recognition and publication of unofficial customer photos (illegal, even in this forum, which were removed).

2) For publicly acknowledging the use of scripts

3) The use of bots for resource exploitation.


Like in this event, you with your two automated gargoyles exploiting resources in an automated way.



There is nothing more to add in the face of someone like you, as usual, you can laugh as you always do, your provocation achieved what it wanted, to upset.

Too bad you are so rotten inside to continually think “how can I upset, provoke and make others feel bad”.


That said, this feedback can be closed and deleted.

If it helps, I am not going to reply too much.
However, I did also recognise 2-3 of your characters.
You cannot go round acting like this, with no consequence.
(Calm down, stop hurling abuse at everyone, and I will stop).

Another one of your lies, there was only my tamer who I use as a tank for the enemies.

That's a completely legal thing to do.

What is not legal is using 3 characters where automatically your 3 clients attack continuously.


I have told you in discord to stop bothering me and you come here to this publication to bother me with your comments, to provoke me, to want to harm me.

There should have been consequences with you a long time ago and nothing has happened yet.

So, the same thing I told you on discord, please don't even comment on my messages, you only want to hurt me.

you are only in the business of harming

speak in the singular and those who tell lies and accusations as was the case with Pawain.

I don't know Pawain, I agree with him sometimes, I disagree with him sometimes, I don't personally insult him.

I don't know you, I disagree with you sometimes, I don't personally insult you.

You however, insult people a lot.
You cannot expect me to sit there and take it, because I react to bullies automatically, call it my character trait. 🙂

I saw The Avatar, Elf Sampire?, and Elf Tamer. I believe they are yours.
(If you had put names on the screenshot - I would have identified them all for you - I almost did that myself).

I have said, calm down, stop insulting people, I will stop. I am still happy to end it on good terms.

Cookie said:

The name Elf Shampire no longer exists, because I used a renowned deed with it to create The True Avatar.

How many lies, inventions to create evil and provoke.

So what did you see? NOTHING

What you are is happy that someone is playing along and answering your nastiness, that's why you are happy.

I hope Mariah can close and delete this quickly.

All is said and done, as usual, you are portrayed in your lies, frauds and provocations. There is nothing more to add.

I did in fact say somewhere, I believe I saw 2-3 of your characters, I was not sure.

I'll let the rest go, as being part of your character.

It must be the translation, or I don't understand it, or you don't understand me, or you just want to provoke and laugh.

Let me put it another way, I can only have 2 accounts simultaneously, because I only have one with a subscription and the other is EJ.

There were no 3 characters, neither logged out, nor logged in. Stop posting 3 because it's not true.


And the thing about insulting everyone is not true, another one of your lies.

Saying to someone that provokes or what I tell you, is not an insult, it is a fact based on some actions, very different.

And so, I act like this with you because it is already a long time, I recognise you for a long time and I know your actions, that's why I am like this with you.

Because you have earned it with tenacity.

The day I see that you change, that you don't just see how you can screw with others, I'll consider being less hard on you.

It is translation - I was saying, I thought I saw 3, but it may have been 2.
I accept it was 2.

Have a look at your posts.
I can give many examples, of you insulting many people.

I admit I have earned it, but then in my eyes, you deserve it 🙂

You don't need to be less hard on me - nothing you say can affect me - I am trying to help you, by helping you get to this point, then you will take offence less, and then you will react less badly to things.

let's stop this

if i've spoken harshly to someone it's because i've seen something serious, i don't act like this at random.

you've had your daily dose of nastiness, let's call it a day.

And if you really want to help others:

1) start by not lying or making up things that aren't true.

2) think about how to serve the other person, not how to provoke them and make them feel bad.

@mis & @cookie - Kindergarden-Discussion??? Something we don't need 🙂 

I remember it was first said when the event go live on TC that Blackrock and Crystalline Blackrock was not a good idea for crafting the bombs - because it's almost very rare to get this resources. It was suggested to use void core which you get easier and much more often by doing this Farmer Nash-Quest in Holy City for example. But that's a point we know for years - we complained about for years and none of dev's side ever listened - maybe till today? Perhaps they can see this now - the the best result i know about was getting blackrock cristaliline once from the gold elementals in Blackthorne's dungeon, but one day someone complained farming this elemental hunting and it was decided to close the dungeon - because of maybe this one-man-complaining - that was fact! If you kill posibilities to get need resources you have to live with that, that there's maybe no other change to get what you need. And what we urgently need - are a dev team that communicates with the experienced long players  - and not with a pvp/rp whatever kindergarden 🙂 

just my two cents

I understand, but some people need that dose and until they get it, they don't stop.

I honestly doubt it, yesterday I saw how on discord Kyronix was putting on a face icon with hearts to a sycophantic comment and saying other things and yet he ignored my comment that I told him it was urgent.

Such was his disinterest that he didn't even enter the feedback I posted (being the author he could see the list of all those who enter to see it).

After a certain person entered, to provoke and see the 0 interest from Kyronix in particular, I directly deleted the feedback, just as I want it to happen with this one.

I don't do any more feedback on this event until I see a change.

I am very disappointed with some parts of the event and certain people I don't want to name here (who are connected to this).

Think about the players who like to do crafting.
Make friends with some, build your team with some crafters in, they are a valid playstyle like everyone else.
It's not all about what you want.

You need to beef up ways to get these resources. And players need to work together. 

Despite the complainers, using crafters in this event adds a whole other layer of interest and fun for many. I'm sorry non crafters are bummed and instead of pitching in are standing around with their thumbs up their butts outside the walls of Mistas. Like it or not there are players who love building and crafting. It's bs for fighter classes to resent crafters finally being made useful. 

That said, don't frustrate us all with making resources overly difficult to get. Put items on npc menus. Or give us ways to craft the blackrock items like we can the void orbs. That makes sense long term. In the meantime seriously beef up the drops of these items so crafters can get what they need and fighters will stop whining.

And for God's sake let us peel off a 500 count stacks of reags at the shops.

First of all it is quite a nasty thing to accuse people of being a cheater or using bots without a proof. I was a target of such abuse in the past, unfortunately I lost my calmness back then. This is why I think I am at my 13th account on the forums. I think accusing people of being a bot user without a proof should be a against the code of conduct of the forum for trolling. Not everyone that is asking for changes are using bots. 

With that being said, we are on the 3rd day of the event. I suggest we wait at least a week before we ask the developers to make changes. It would be nice to see how things fall into place when people have more time to figure out things in the weekend.

I like the current event structure. I hope the devs do not change it. On the other hand, if this becomes a painful issue for everyone, then maybe they can add an NPC that destroys the doors at quarter speed. So players have a chance to collect the rubbles but fighters don't have to wait 2 hours for people to come online? Or they can add the required resources to the NPC for the event. Like enough materials for 10 bombs for 10 drops? 

This is just my $0.02.

It’s the waiting for crafters thing I don’t get. Why are these players who are waiting outside the walls not planning ahead? Why don’t they speak up in chat and call out for crafters ahead of time?

Fighters, talk in chat. Ask crafters to make you the barrels of explosives, the siege kits and the ammo kits. Buy the items from them. Trade for them. Offer resources.

Use vendor search and see if crafters are selling the kits. Plan ahead, stock up. Blow up the walls yourselves and get a bunch of drops in the process. Honestly you’re missing out not doing this.

I don't know about you, but in Europe there are moments of standstill.

It wasn't until 14:53 that Petra arrived to break the wall with explosives.


I took the screenshot at 14:40, but there were already players standing there, who subsequently left. Which means that people were already waiting, possibly for 20 minutes.

I notified by chat and as I said, it wasn't until 14:53 that the attack on the gates started


This on day 2, when there is no interest from the crafters who have the ingredients, end of the event.

Do you want crafters to be used? Perfect, let me buy the ingredients from an NPC and I'll make it (if that's the goal, let them use the crafter).

I don't want to pay vendor search speculators, the goal is to use crafter, ok, let me buy a set of ingredients from an NPC, not from speculators.

Keep it simple and think for everyone.

I add:

Although Nelly throwing balls with the catapult at the door, for some reason he left, as there was no one else, the event was paralysed without being able to pass to the city.

15:22 I leave because I have to go and the event without crafter with ingredients to continue.

End of the event. Game Over.


As a song by Héroes del Silencio says “And how easy it is to open your mouth so wide to give your opinion”.

@mis so you have multiple accounts but not one crafter out 14 + toons?  Interesting.

I'm sorry the pictures you posted hoping to gather support only make you and your shard look entitled

You didn't express yourself well or the translator doesn't translate it well.

If a change is made it benefits other shards, not just Europa. You want crafter to be used? perfect, ingredients you can buy from an NPC or you can with an alchemist make blast potions for example.

And of course, I post pics from Europe because that's where I am, I'm not in another shard.


But as you can read on page 1, I'm not the only one reporting problems, in sparsely populated shards there are also problems.


It is very comfortable to say that everything goes smoothly when you are in a shard where for whatever reasons, be it population and a large amount of ingredients, the crafting part is taken care of.

But in Europe there is a lack, happened this morning too, although I haven't taken pictures, so it's not an isolated case, it's a lot of times already.

But this event was developed for minorities or majorities, that's the question, because not all shards have the same number of players.

Mis, I think the people here are confused as to why you are not participating in the crafting portion of the event? If you have two accounts, even with one as an EJ account, you don't have a single crafting character? That's 8 characters and all fighters/mages/rouges? 
Or are you saying that you do not like crafting and don't want to do it? So you are suggesting the entire event concept be changed because you and a handful of others don't like to craft. Meanwhile, many crafters are happy to be included.
I think in the end if you want to do the fighting portion you should invest in creating a crafting character and collecting some resources to bust open the gates yourself OR become friendly with your Shards crafters and ask them how you can help them.

It’s the waiting for crafters thing I don’t get. Why are these players who are waiting outside the walls not planning ahead? Why don’t they speak up in chat and call out for crafters ahead of time?

Fighters, talk in chat. Ask crafters to make you the barrels of explosives, the siege kits and the ammo kits. Buy the items from them. Trade for them. Offer resources.

Use vendor search and see if crafters are selling the kits. Plan ahead, stock up. Blow up the walls yourselves and get a bunch of drops in the process. Honestly you’re missing out not doing this. 

I don't know about you, but in Europe there are moments of standstill.

It wasn't until 14:53 that Petra arrived to break the wall with explosives.


I took the screenshot at 14:40, but there were already players standing there, who subsequently left. Which means that people were already waiting, possibly for 20 minutes.

I notified by chat and as I said, it wasn't until 14:53 that the attack on the gates started


This on day 2, when there is no interest from the crafters who have the ingredients, end of the event.

Do you want crafters to be used? Perfect, let me buy the ingredients from an NPC and I'll make it (if that's the goal, let them use the crafter).

I don't want to pay vendor search speculators, the goal is to use crafter, ok, let me buy a set of ingredients from an NPC, not from speculators.

Keep it simple and think for everyone.


I’m at a loss as to what to say that your whole shard has to depend on one crafter that didn’t finish the job. Not a soul on the shard could pick up where he left off? 

If the pics you’re showing are all different players waiting to get in, are you saying none of them have a crafter that can make the kits?

Is anyone using chat to talk to crafters and order the kits that you could use yourself to knock down the walls? 

Do you not have a crafter yourself that could make and stockpile the kits so you can use them for yourself and get drops at the same time?

I'm not trying to give you a hard time but it does seem silly that you can’t get these tasks accomplished on your shard. I’ve soloed blowing up the walls to get into the city 3 times now. My crafter makes what I need and I pass the explosives and kits to my stealthy rogue. If someone else is there too they take out the spawn at the first two walls. 

I can’t take out a he mobs but I can get fighters where they want to go and I make out with drops for doing so. Then I can stealth in and work on finding chests. I’d like to see a little more player cooperation when it comes to helping a crafter get resources but such is life. 

Like I said before, players are missing out by not working a crafter for this event at least once in awhile. The drops for taking out the walls are pretty darned good.

@ mis so you have multiple accounts but not one crafter out 14 + toons?  Interesting.   


I don't know where you get that I have a lot of accounts, because the only information I said is that I was with two accounts in the event, a tamer and the warrior.

Sure, I have crafter, but I already explained my point of view (read above).

I feel the same Lily. This is just stubbornness at this point. 
#51
The thing is....it was on Test Center for awhile...then on Origin for...how long? That's the time you get on, look to see what ingredients you need and gather them before it goes live. Take advantage! 

Say HEY GUYS! We need X amount of these ingredients...lets get as much as we can before it goes live!

Yeah it takes a lot, but I know you have to have crafters on your shard, work together!

You didn't miss, I didn't write it previously so you didn't have to know if I had or not, I just said it in response to a comment.

You didn't waste time, you gained time for the future by learning a great lesson.

Then make a crafter? You had at least 10 day with knowledge to prepare crying time over go kill shadow elementals go mine go kill the void creatures in ter mur if I recall your native language is Spanish?

You saw that no one was there. They are not just words, they are deeds (photos).

LilyGrace said:

Yes, and many players as you could see outside.

I don't know if, apart from Petra/Nelly, the rest of them had a crafter.

And as you could see, it was only one person who did all that and it couldn't even be finished because he left.

I hope it is finally understood, that not all shards are the same and not all players are the same.

There are the facts.


Therefore, the event does not work equally in all shards; what may be a success in some shards is a complete failure in others.

To correct a few misunderstandings.
I brought bombs to knock down the first wall. Then I swapped chars. I forgot about the wall at the other end of the bridge, so I brought my first character back

Then I brought my crafter to operate the catapult. When the catapult collapsed I didn't have another deployment kit and I was almost out of ammunition kits, plus my pet had died, and I needed it to hold the kits, as they're rather heavy.
I went home, sorted all that out, then returned to finish knocking down the gates. Also I wasn't the only person operating a catapult.

I have a squirrel mailbox at my castle, if any impatient warrior would like to throw a few crystalline blackrock and void orbs in it, I'd be happy to use them to make more supplies.

I find it funny to read you, how you focus on it in the singular when clearly it is not something exclusive, but, as you can see in the images, there are many who are in the same situation, blocked without advancing.

Everyone will have their own reasons why they don't go for those ingredients.

I've already said mine and I've even exposed them in discord.

I see very false that a door can be broken only with crafting explosives and does not accept explosions of mage or blows of a weapon, and I add, nor potions of great explosion.


Just because of that falsehood, I won't collect a single ingredient.


In any case, if it is stated as it must be a physical explosion of an item created by a crafter, if it accepts blast / big blast potions or the ingredients were freely available bought from an NPC, then yes I use my crafter, not before.


Why don't the other players who are waiting go and look for ingredients? I don't know and honestly, I don't care what the reason is, everyone will have their own.


Spanish, but I guarantee that even speaking the same language we wouldn't understand each other, just reading your way of thinking is something that is clear to me.

Well you go ahead and pout see how many drops you get

It takes 4 kegs of bombs to get through the first two walls. Two kegs on each wall. I don’t know if it matters but I throw the bombs at the same panel in the wall the whole time. I can carry 4 kegs no problem. 

The catapult kits and ammo are heavy as you say, Petra. After I knock down the first two walls I head home, drop off the loot and grab one siege kit and five ammo kits. I return and fire away. 

Once I’ve burned through 5 ammo crates, I go home again, drop off loot, grab another siege kit and five more ammo crates. 
 
Two of the times I took out the city wall it took 2 siege kits and 10 ammo kits to breech the wall. 

This morning it took 3 siege kits and 15 ammo kits. I’d like to speak to the management about this.  😂 I think that’s overkill.

@mis so. you are one of the people that talk BS all the time about scripts and this and that but looking at your screenshot, that is a nice picture of the O client. so I guess everyone really use.

I suggested on discord that having a gypsy bank wagon drift down to the bridge would be helpful to crafters

Of course, it is the official client and as an exceptional thing I kept shift+control to show all the names because a user commented on the first page that why the names were not shown, making speculations that they are bots, that it had several characters that don't exist, etc...

This would be ideal and the same conditions for all.

2 × 7 = 14.

Is my math wrong?

So you have a crafter but you want someone else to open the walls and gates so you reap the rewards.

I think Mc Dougle is correct. Entitled.

I clicked the wrong reply.   Meant to reply to @mis.

Come on, I'll give you the snack, your dose of evil you crave, I'll answer your ignorance.

You stick to writing in the singular, when I'm not the only one who was out there at the time (several players).

Such speculation and accusation of yours as implying that I am a freeloader (where as I explained, you would have to speak in plural according to your theory because I was not alone), is a product of the evil you have, because as I said, above I explain the reasons why I do not look for ingredients.

Therefore, this new provocation that you launch is to provoke discussion, bad being and to feed you.

You already have your snack, I hope dinner is not with me.

By the way, you dropped something on the floor, that ugly pumpkin mask you're wearing. You have nothing more to do with me, you were revealed.

@Mariah Do you understand why I want to close and delete these posts?

They just come here for breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner, their dose of nastiness they need.

Joke: But how you like to see how I give a sledgehammer to all those trolls.

Ok.  A bunch of freeloaders?

The crafter just makes the items.  You warrior can use them.

Last night I shot 7 ammo kits, got so many drops and rubble that I had to bless myself and go drop stuff off before I could fight.

Your stubbornness is costing you drops.

And besides being malicious, he lacks understanding.

You're the one insinuating, indirectly saying that I'm the one taking advantage of others.

I don't know if this is true and you're just doing it to troll or because you don't understand anything.
