Please create a deco egg turn-in for mature egg reward

+1 on this request. A limited time high demand item like a rideable dragon should NOT be based on RNG. Maybe I just have a bad taste in my mouth from Mistas and steadily grinding it the entire time with multiple accounts to never get an obelisk, but at least the obelisk is just deco. 

@Community Manager - Are we able to get an update from @Parallax about the deco egg "collector" he mentioned 2 weeks ago?

Since Parallax's update 2 weeks ago I've been saving my eggs I get from the nests or the matriarch and I'm reaching max storage on all my houses (even a new one I just placed with an account I resubbed). 

It hasn't been a month yet ..

I said the same thing during Mistas event.... then proceeded to go the entire event without a single Obelisk. I said the same thing for the "Purple/pink" mares and it took over 2 months (and many totems) to get my only one.

The hatching idea is actually pretty creative and would be cool. I do think that might be more coding to do but I like it.

This is an assumption but I'm guessing it's less work to throw a vendor up that accepts eggs. I think a good happy medium would be to treat these eggs like the fractured veil points we got from doing the event on NL.... you have a chance at getting a mature egg by doing the event (ie chests / nests / matriarch) but you can also collect points (eggs) that at X amount allow you to buy stuff. 

What about have a damaged/cracked egg that you can incubate that has a rare chance at a mutated color?

While doing Matriarchs on Atl, I've gotten over 600 drops, At least 400 eggs. Scores of trees, 5 Clothing, 1 Mature egg. 

Maybe 1000 eggs gets a dino skele.  If they are just giving away rewards, why do I bother playing?

This whole event is rinse and repeat.  What are you talking about?

I like the Matriarch on Atl.  I can shop, get a drop, shop get a drop, Rinse and repeat.

Some rewards should be rare, it is fun to have things like that in game too. Also those items are not account bound, so you can buy them anyway.

1 plat is price for basic purple egg now on Atlantic. 500 drops is the cost for Umbrascale Ryuuma. Ryuuma is 100 mil currently. So you need 5000 drops. 100 drops (even more) is possible in 1h. So it is 50h of farming

I'm not sure how many accts you are using to do the matriarch but if it's just 1 or 2 that's 50-100+ matriarchs which is probably more than some shards have seen in total, period. 

This event seems like it definitely suits you if all you do is "shop" / bank sit because you will see every matriarch compared to someone like me who is actively playing the game in the dungeon or elsewhere and have no idea if/when the matriarch spawns unless someone spams in GenChat offering a gate to the boss. Sitting around waiting for matriarch coords isn't really "playing the game" in my opinion so I'd say the exact same thing as you with a slight tweak... if there is a (decent) chance I will never get the grand prize, why do I bother (actually) playing the game?

It's funny how short sighted you are and your tendency to put the blinders on without considering others. If you don't experience and issue, there isn't one and if you get a drop then the event is working fine... you don't ever stop to think about the majority. You play hours upon hours and have decided to spend that time playing a non-home shard... and from the sounds of it you just sit around shopping until the matriarch spawns. That doesn't work for many people because they don't have the hours upon hours to play or maybe don't play ATL or want to sit around for hours a day waiting for the matriarch to spawn; they want to actually play the game. So what about the people who don't subscribe to your playstyle, they are just out of luck even though they are actively playing the event but only getting deco eggs? 

The Matriarch spawns on Atl every 30 minutes.   I've had quite a few 12+ hour days.  I use up to two tamers which cycle on and off Atl bringing the goodies home.

One of my guys is using a new Ascedent, it is at 80% training just from the Matriarch.  That guy came over this week. 

I've also gotten 3 new pets to over 105 chivalry since this began.  I can watch him on LS while waiting for her gaze on Atl.

Yes that's why I'm doing it on Atlantic, more chances for the main drop, and I find the laggy fight fun.   Don't worry,  this lasts till February.  

I'm the gate maker, which allows you nest hunters to pop in Luna and take a Gate to the boss.

I like how you call the Matriarch lag fest on Atl, actually playing the game. 😂  

They need to decide sooner rather than later on the eggs, just dropped more on the ground.

Im all for some type of turn in for the eggs for a mature one, but I agree they would need to do it soon as alot including myself are just dropping them after collecting over 200 of them. I dont mind a bit of grinding for rare stuff but there should be some sort of guaranteed return, as in yes you might get lucky and get one soon, or have to grind it out but you will get one in the end. To put in ALOT of time and face the possibility of getting nothing isnt good. As my main is a tamer im totally focused on getting myself a Juvenile Umbrascale and no I dont have 500 mil or 1 plat to buy one.

I have been doing this for 3 weeks straight now almost for 8-15 hours a day (I work from home and hurt my leg so stuck just relaxing not obsessed with gaming or anything  ) and I've 0 mature eggs to show for it. 

I've done chest, nest, and the boss (high and low luck) and nada... I think this is the first time I have ever not wanted to log in because I am so burned out on trying to get this one item from the game (I would like all hues to display/use but that's seeming less likely at this point)... and like others are saying because it's limited it stinks and the fact on small populations shards I've seen the boss spawn maybe 3-4 times since it started so it makes it harder unless I'm logging in and out constantly checking Atlantic for a boss spawn because I don't really want to just sit in town on Atlantic just waiting around/wasting my day.

For those saying "you can just buy them with gold" A. where is the fun in that?  B. not everyone can afford the 1-3p+ price and I'm sure some reseller with a ton of plat is going to buy them all up once this is done so they can just resell them at an insane price as well.

There is talk of the nests being permanent,  You can casually get mature eggs any time you want.

What about having a damaged/cracked egg that you can incubate that has a rare chance at a mutated species or rare color?

Also (asbestos suit on) why not have the matriarch on a timer on Atl, kinda like they did with Mistas.  Only allow one nest per hour on Atl.

From 5 on Friday:

• A reward vendor will be introduced to allow players to exchange decorative Dragon Eggs for rewards,

These changes will go into effect with Publish 122.

So, where can we store them now?  This is dumb.

The problem with making items like the Mature eggs so hard to get, is to risk players to alienate wanting to play the game... it only benefits those power gamers who script, multiplay with various accounts and use those unofficial clients which permit controlling multiple accounts at once.

These power gamers get these items just fine and sell them for lots, benefitting from their scripting, multiplaying and using unofficial clients that permit to do things in the game which the official clients do not allow players to do.

Casual players ? They get the short end of the stick... spend countless hours of repetitive farming and end up with empty hands and, if they want that item, they then need to buy gold with real money to be able to afford the ridicolous price tags that these items fetch in the game.

To me, this is all wrong, dead wrong as it has a risk to eventually drive players away from the game.

One thing is an item being reasonably rare, an entire other is making it absurdedly rare so that a player needs to resort to scripting, multibotting and using unofficial clients to use multiple accounts thus to multiply their chances at such ultra rare items. A type of gameplay which casual players are not interested in... they just loose interest in the game and just migrate to play other games...

And Ultima Online looses players...

Casual players, to my opinion, should have a reasonable way to earn items in the game and not have to use their real money to buy gold so as to be able to afford items in the game which cost too much because of their absurd difficulty in getting them unless one can run at once multiple accounts.

That is at least the way I see it.

You still have 3 months to get stuff you want and sometime rare should be rare to get. Play instead of complaining you probably have one in that time I don't script and have limited time and I got one. 

My thoughts, which may not be accurate.
IF the matriarch is staying in, and the nest maps are staying in, then the nests will continue to contain eggs for us to turn in? 
Therefore, there is no pressing need to store thousands of them now. Store what you comfortably can and then add new ones to them when you have traded those in?

Friend, first gratz for you to have limit time and got one mature egg at the very early in the event, I though everyone has this god blessed luck will say the samething, not sure how many "non-script" players still at this situation, spend tons of massive maps or running thousands of hidden chest and got nothing, yes they remember they got almost 3 months trying to get at least one rare item like previous Void obelisk, and most of non-script players never seen one till the event ended, they always tell themself : we got 3 months for one obelisk 🙂

Not a script player, got 4 Obelisks from the prodo event, 8 from NL.  Yes, the more you play, the more you get.  

You have 0 chance at drops on the forum tho.

Sure thing, you never know how many non scrpit players participate event till the end and didn't get at least one 🙂, but if you thought they are on the forum all the time, I respect your thought

Need to turn in trees also, I'm up to 60+ of those.

And what about the necessary Dragon Nests Maps ?

They currently come from either Hidden Chests or the Turn in guy but neither, I understand, will be available after the Event ends.

So where will players get the Dragon Nests Maps from ?

Yea this was my thought too; where will the maps come from (ie what sort of grind will that be)? Right now the 20 drops for a massive isn't a bad price given each nest you find has like 7 or so items, but once that goes away is it going to be like regular T maps (Trove for example) where it's going to be a random drop? 

I hope they intro Pub 122 soon so we can start turning in our eggs bc I'm starting to run out of room in the (smaller) house I placed for egg collecting. Telling us to toss other things that will be worth something is literally going against every fiber in 99% of UO players body...you know the ones that hoard save every single item with the thought of them being rare or worth something in a year lol.

I read the post from Parallax, so I know that he told us there will be additional methods to acquire Dragon Nest maps.

Perhaps read what other people have posted so you don't need to ask questions that have already been answered?

Additional methods as in what type of methods ?

As I said, hidden chests and the turn in guy which are the main source for Dragon Nests Maps will be gone when the Event will end.

So what will these "additional" methods be to get Dragon Nest Maps when the turn in guy that gives Maps for points as well as the hidden chests will be gone at the Event's ending ?

OMG really we don't know yet! Give it up man.. 

hmm, i'd imagine there would be this system, whereby players (a person who plays the game) could receive items. Possibly by searching a fallen foe, or by magical, instantaneous appearance in said players pack, once a creature of sufficient renown was slain. Quite possibly, they could be found inside of a treasure chest, or perhaps, shadily acquired from Suleiman, in the alley behind the Cat's Lair Tavern in Britain. 

My imagination and previous game experience suggests a circular route by which eggs are traded for maps, which supply eggs to trade in for more maps?

It wouldn't be a circle but a spiral.
Just saying.

Edit: just in case.. cuz you know.
Here is the drawing: a spiral u start big end up tiny or on the contrary.. what I believe gonna happen u start small and end up big on the nest map supplies. (this is why they do not announce it now but at the END of the event)

Cuz the supply gonna spiral, on the higher ends I believe.. and some people could get mad to have invest that much energy into them during the temporary event missing on other stuff for nest.. instead of playing fair game with the fully, late, announcement.. they gonna be like too bad, when it's going be too late anyway.. so cry me a river.

Cuz yeah.. announcement during; btw those eggs.. btw this is perm content.. btw no one knows on the details *wink wink* DURING the event. It's an Alpha; they already know.. now, figure out why no one else does.. no way u can half ass something like that DURING the event.

PPS were already telling them in 2024 that Manifestation of Evil was good perma content.. to enhance a "dead" treasure hunter content... no way this was not prepare.. it was LIVE testing this time knowing it would be perm; they have a plan or this is VERY alarming.


TL;DR announcing it now they would pretty much kill the matriarch content for the pleb DURING the event.
They prefer a cry me a river scenario when it's too late, over ruining a major part of their temporary event and getting call out where it matters to them.. doing good temporary NL event. The MAIN content of UO.
