Valentine clickys are up!

Pawain 2021-02-12 06:54 #0

1 per account per shard. - karma gets the nicer one.

😂

I feel a novel in the works when they find out where the clicky is.

What do you mean ?

That the clicky to get the Valentine gift will be in a place much hard to find or where it will be quite inconvenient for players to get their Valentine gift ?

Seriously ?

For a VALENTINE gift ?

Furthermore, will the place be the same for any and all Shards or will it be a nightmare for players who play on more then 1 Shard to have to find the place for all the Shards that they play on, not to mention having to take the time to get there and get the gift on all of the Shards they play on ?

Also, is it going to be 1 gift per character or 1 gift per account ?

JackFlashUk 2021-02-12 09:25 #2

there you go again, speaking for the masses.......

Why do you care? why are you so interested in what everyone else has to do?

He also clearly stated how many per acct etc.

How about you just READ what people say.

You could actually answer most of your questions above if YOU DID IT FOR YOURSELF

Ivenor 2021-02-12 09:34 #4

Well, putting the Valentine Gift Clicky in, let's say in the lower levels of the most dangerous Dungeon, could be in character with the Love the Devs lately showed to a certain part of the UO Players...

😂

Cookie 2021-02-12 11:03 #5

Heartwood Felucca. 🙂

Absolutely brilliant, that's put a smile on my face, how the game should be played!

Cookie 2021-02-12 11:14 #6

There it is, there are little thiefy's, put hiding on your character to be safe, go close, click while hidden, insure it, it is insurable 🙂

AnneNomilly 2021-02-12 12:45 #7

Honestly, this one, after the whole Christmas "gift" thing, boggles my mind. I would understand putting it in Fel so reds have a chance too. However, one teensy problem, reds can't get into Heartwood. I don't understand this as, in my opinion only, and someone educate me if I'm wrong, the only thing that will happen with it here is griefing. If there's another view, please explain it. And I'm not whining or being sarcastic. I just honestly don't understand the point here.

Hippo 2021-02-12 12:56 #8

I got 3 dark ones and one positive karma Cupids 🙂 I like the negative ones better, the postive karma one looks too "cartoonish"

My opinion is it promotes far more interaction and gameplay. A little bit of extra thought is required, it's not just point, click, receive freebie.

The No reds point is interesting, but tbh, that probably helps blues a lot, they only really have to deal with blue thieves, so they won't in theory be on the receiving end of anything too bad, if they think about it, and prepare themselves properly.

It gives thieves a little something, it promotes activity. Players actually having to play the game.

Stinky_Pete 2021-02-12 13:54 #11

Great idea! Clicky season on Siege is one of my favorite times of the year. I'm glad they made it available to all players this time around!

Stinky_Pete 2021-02-12 13:57 #12

Also, "Stinky Pete's stealing advice hotline" is closed during this event so don't DM me asking why you keep getting revealed or why you can't steal anything. Any other time, I'm more than happy to help though.

I already told you, I'm not currently taking any questions. Also, you are taking my quote out of context. I meant that they made the ability to steal clicky gifts available to other players that aren't on Siege.

What are negative karma players getting? I got the Donald Trump Cupid.

EDIT: Besides other people's cupid. LOL!!!

I can check to see if my guild can get one for you. I am certain we will collect an abundance of them. Not sure about Chessy though.

Feigr 2021-02-12 15:04 #20

You and your guild can keep ya'lls left arms to yourself.

But seriously, thank you, I'm okay with my comb over cupid.

Captain_Lucky 2021-02-12 15:23 #21

So is that the same cupid as last year? Can't remember. The negative karma gift, is that a floor tile, painting or what? Thanks! 🙂

No last year was a teddy bear. The shadowy one is supposed to be wall art though if you have dark walls you can't see it!

EC vs CC not much different, but if you do get the silhouette one,

it needs to be on a light surface.

Captain_Lucky 2021-02-12 15:56 #23

Thanks! I'm a collector so I need one of each at least lol. Ok ... bear .... yeah now I remember. Never figured out how I could fit that into UO either lol Probably more fodder for the storage chests.

Captain_Lucky 2021-02-12 15:59 #24

With the Valentine's Day bears, cupids and mini wizards I'm thinking the artist doesn't play UO 🙂 Now had they made that with a granite cupid on a granite pillar or something... maybe.

Arnold7 2021-02-12 16:18 #25

Is this thread some sort of joke? I don’t really care much about these gifts, but I do care about crap like this. Now you have to be a thief or ninja just to get a free gift that is deco only. You have got to be kidding. Hope that you are.

Larisa 2021-02-12 16:33 #26

I am neither a thief or a ninja and I got my gifts just fine?

On 4 shards so far. Just have your backpack open when you get it, and insure it right away. Don't stand there if you're worried about thieves....click and run! Down further into heartwood, not out where the big scary reds might be

It makes it challenging...I like it!

Cinderella 2021-02-12 18:11 #27

I didn't see a timer on the clicky.
@Kyronix how long do we have to claim the gift?

Pawain 2021-02-12 18:35 #28

You can get one on each shard per account.
Use a crystal portal. Say fel yew mint.
Kill a cat or dog in yew for neg karma. On new toon.

Put last object on a macro.
Dbl clk statue from a distance.
Click self --- toggle item insurance
The target is there.
Walk to statue use the macro
Click the Cupid
It's insured

EC may have a bag of sending macro.

Go in groups if needed. I lost one on Atlantic but I was just standing by statue and chatting.

I was writing my own macro for the EC when you posted. Beat me by 2 minutes!

Cinderella 2021-02-12 18:55 #30

in EC
i recommend putting the "Toggle Item Insurance" icon in a hotkey (i used F9)
also have a key set up for last object (F8)

I click on the cupid, when too far away.(too far away, it won't go in backpack)

then while running close to cupid, hit F8 & F9 almost at the same time
and use right hand on mouse to target your empty slot.

(I do this on Siege, with Siege Bless)

Ivenor 2021-02-12 19:01 #31

Well, after having been mugged 3 times at the Clicky, 2 times at the ATL Fel Yew Gate and once KILLED BY A BUNCH OF DAMN WANDERING ORKS trying to escape the mob of unsavory Reds that CRAWLS OUT OF THE FOOKING WALLS like FOOKING ALIENS (not even in a Imanewbie 'toon I have ever seen something like this...

😂 ), I got at last my Trump Doll, after having BEGGED the thieves to let me have at least one.

What can I say... ah, yes:

Dear Devs, you are a bunch of rotten to the core nogooddoers that enjoy having the players suffer, and THAT IS THAT! 😂

Have a nice Valentine Day and... fottetevi.

Kisses

I.

Ya they noticed that on LS right away. They also think the other one has his hand in his pants but I think thats the bow they are seeing.

TimSt 2021-02-13 01:16 #36

There are several phallus looking things in the game. Some that come to mind are the remove trap icon, one of the teleport pads, and for a split second the gateway to Heartwood.

JohnKnighthawke 2021-02-13 02:15 #37

In Fel and negative Karma gets the nicer reward.

Not the best decision from the health of the game perspective but meh.

Oh well.

There are many other things that are both better and worse for the health of the game going on at the same time so I'll just shrug it off.

Aayla 2021-02-13 05:37 #38

Pawain 2021-02-13 08:56 #40

I've got all I am going to get from other shards. Only lost 3.

Invis pots are at the alchemists. Can't you use one to help you not become a victim. I thought of trying one but just decided to stop and do them late. No one is by the clicky right now.

TimSt 2021-02-13 09:50 #41

I got all 12 of mine including three on Atlantic without major problems. Only time I encountered a thief was on my first attempt on Pacific. My thief while stealthing up to the clicky bumped into someone else who was invisible. A quick use of Detect Hidden revealed the other thief. After that I just walked around the other platforms trying to bump into invisible players.

twizag 2021-02-13 10:05 #42

Very strange..he writes to me that I can't get a gift right now...And so on all the shards...

Mine didnt even make it into my backpack. I double clicked and I didnt even see it go in my pack, this was on atl. Beware, I'm assuming thief, but who knows.

Jepeth 2021-02-13 19:44 #45

ZekeTerra 2021-02-13 21:41 #48

@Xris if you had negative karma the black one is impossible to see in your packpack, at least in EC. I don't recall seeing a message when I received the gift and even the most talented thief can't steal it b4 it gets in your pack.

MissE 2021-02-13 22:56 #49

Considering the artwork was stolen from google I guess the whole intent was to have your gifts stolen to get rid of the evidence. Sad day when after waiting for months for our non existent xmas gifts we now get stolen art for valentines day. I mean seriously, our artist is doing this? We gonna get pilfered art for Easter too? I am sorry but don't you think this is a bit off? No doubt this post will be deleted as it is pointing out something that shouldn't need to be pointed out.

As Larissa noted on the 'other' forum this is the first thing that pops up when you google, although I had already seen it as I looked it up when the newsletter went up when I was trying to decide whether or not to post about the lack of imagination that we have stooped down to and the fact that as the gamers here get older are we still seriously into this kind of thing? It is a pity the gifts haven't kept up with the age of the recipients.

When you consider previous years gifts we seem to be getting worse and worse as time goes on. In 2018 when we got the table and chair sets I thought things were getting better, finally a gift that was not only useful but in keeping with the theme of the day and nicely presented. Since then, it is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Go look at what we have had in previous years and then come back and look again. Now we get a simple static lockdown, does nothing, has zero use and isn't even in keeping with the overall 'theme' of ultima.

And before anyone jumps in with it is just a 'gift' that is rot, it is NOT a gift it is what other games call seasonal content. We pay for it and should expect better. They don't have to just dump it on a clicky, that is the devs choice, we would be much happier to run a quest or do anything more exciting to get valentines content than just click stuff but that is ALL they offer. So if they aren't gonna bother with anything but a clicky they could at least give us something useful with it.

Pawain 2021-02-13 23:13 #50

We had the pre Valentine event on LS. We were trying to get Arrows for Eros I think.

Only a few of us finished it because it was a Oracle quest like the Dark Forest. You use keywords and go from Oracle to Oracle. Gave them a couple items and the last pop up told us where the gift clicky was located.

Cupid is pretty generic. The cartoony one goes with the bear from last year, the silhouette looks good.

MissE 2021-02-13 23:36 #51

@Pawain we had zero event as per normal. Not all shards are equal, you know that. Funny how we all 'pay' the same though isn't it?

As for them being generic, seriously.... even blind freddy could not fail to see the similarity.

Still it goes nothing to the quality of the things to start with nor the total lack of any kind of inspiration or even the slightest effort to actually impress the customers with well thought out and useful content is there?

Have you not noticed that we are getting into generic everything... Season time, valentines, easter, anniversary etc oh yeah dump a clicky down call it good.

Other events, get mobs to dump something called 'of the ...........' onto existing mobs, just make a few of em paras, hand em in to get a 'reward' cookie cutter dungeons, just to make 'less' work to implement them. Shard bound rewards of items no one wants to start with, I mean table legs? Seriously? For the past 18 mths really only one new great useful item (the pixel made ssi/mana epaulettes), that is not a bad investment for my 580 bucks I currently spend per yr on this. Sure some players may be happy to get stuff they missed out on, all good, however that should not be an excuse to fail to provide new content for everyone else.

Pre xmas from Halloween on we have had rerun butchers and pumpkins, rerun trick or treat no new rewards, rerun Krampus no new rewards, rerun Artisan festival with a couple of new bits of deco the rest just dump a new graphic on.

Lets not even bother with Christmas gifts for the first time in UO history.

You notice the pattern here?

Pawain 2021-02-13 23:51 #52

They told us they designed a new engine to make events. They will be Oracle quests, spawns, or dungeons.

The Pirates Life may not fit into those but I bet the other three will.

Tis what we have. NL will be out someday.

I think it's consistent. Check the number of useful artifacts vs trash in entire game inventory. It's like pareto rule, 20 - 80. It's unlikely to get 10 new rewards all game changers like the epaulets.

Bilbo 2021-02-14 02:19 #54

NL will be out someday.... that is supposed to get anyone in the southern hemisphere excited when you ping on average 280-350 to any usa server? Good luck with that.

I am expecting the 'pirates life' to have mobs spawning like serps etc toss aka para serp into the water, get drops 'of the pirate....' which you hand in to some dude on a dock. I guess we will see.

The ONLY reason I still play (sometimes) is due to the nostalgia and all the 'stuff' that is hard to just toss away and the couple of mates I ally with. Plus the basic game is still there so yeah some days when bored I will jump on and do some bods, or go with some mates and do a shadowguard run or whatever. I pretty much only bother with supply and cache fel tmaps now as the rewards on all the others are not worth the bother so tmapping which I used to do regularly has also been borked. Pretty much 99% of the stuff I do is stuff that has been around for years, nothing in the past 5 yrs well in fact since SA came in has really added much to the content. Not much happening in Eodon, one of the worst land masses and content ever introduced.

The only pretty good thing that is still 'content' ie not put in and then removed, has been the pirates and beacons, and taming revamp, can't think of anything else but that is all since about 2009 when SA came out. Shadowguard is OK but a total grind, I mean how many times do you wanna do those rooms that give bugger all in loot or drops to have a shot at the boss? As for Doom, that was borked too and made so instead of it being a pretty good fight that all templates could enjoy they nuked that too to make it so much more specialised and the drops so few and far between that it is also a grind even IF you can find someone to do it with.

I have shut down 2/5 accounts and am tempted if there is nothing new in the next 6 mths worth logging in for to gradually put my three fully paid up accounts to 90 cycles until such time as I log in to play or decide to just give it away. Hate to see the best game online gradually being dumbed down to where there is absolutely NO incentive for new players to join, that is what this game needs and NL will NOT do that.

Arnold7 2021-02-14 07:34 #56

Keep looking fo reasons to continue playing this game. How about a holiday event that rewards players that prey on other players. Yea, that should do it. Guess you know what I think you can do with your gift so I won’t spell it out.

Ironic you say the game is being dumb down on a thread where so many people are complaining their V-day rewards WEREN'T the typical backpack reward where everyone just "push the button get a prize".

Heaven forbid people actually have to brave the fel facet and use a little thinking to claim their gift.

I just hope they are worth some good cleanup points so I can throw away all of the extra cupids I've amassed the past few days.

Petra_Fyde 2021-02-14 13:02 #59

I think my favourite Valentine gift in game was the vase of roses, but after all these years I can understand if the team are running out of ideas. Perhaps instead of complaining about what we got this year people could offer suggestions of the kind of thing they'd like to see next year? Bearing in mind these gifts are not meant to give us an advantage over other players, but simply 'nice to have'.

Cinderella 2021-02-14 22:15 #60

@Petra_Fyde i sent them these pics in Nov 2019
wanting something like these for wall art.
the response was it was too late for this valentine's (2020)
but she likes it for 2021.

i was inspired from the wall art from Christmas (the trees)
but wanted hearts for Valentine's... with made by glassblowers of (insert city here)

==========

they wouldn't have to be just like this,
but pretty close would be awesome.
red & pinks, maybe purple

i was thinking hearts, because we have other stuff with cupids
but i do love this years gifts, just not what we have to do to get them.

Well don't think I am being 'ironic' given I don't give a toss where they put the thing. I went and got the one on my shard, didn't care it was in fel I play 90% of my game there normally so it was no big deal for me.

(However, that being said, for seasonal gifts I do not believe FORCING people to go to a facet they are NOT comfortable with is particularly intelligent and if you insist on doing that given it is one per account they should of been blessed. I have always been against the devs FORCING people to go into non consensual pvp areas/or areas where they can be stolen from, it just shows a lack of respect for their player base, but that is beside the point of my posts.)

I actually don't think people WANT it to be a push button get a prize either. Facts are that is what the DEV team has offered us up on pretty much every valentines, easter, and other 'days' for years so what are people expected to do? They get used to it. In the past there was always neat stuff to do to get rewards, devs didn't dump down clickies as the FIRST resort.

If you think dumping the same 'clicky' thing in a guard zone in fel is 'mixing it up' or making it any more enjoyable then sorry it isn't. It is still a clicky and the only 'extra' work you need to do is get a hotkey yelling guards, and to insure and then finding a way to get non-built toons on other shards to the location. Just more a pain than anything else to get your piece of junk, which is why I didn't even bother on other shards, not worth the bother.

I think people would much prefer some kind of neat event to get their items.

Put the blame where it lies on the lack of imagination of the devs NOT the players.

You don't need to do a 'dangerous' thing to give gifts, remember that puzzle thing they did with the 'Candle of Love' event way back when where you followed clues with a quest chain and ended up in that maze where you fell in the lava but you could do it over and over until you succeeded? Once per character. There is nothing to stop them doing stuff like that.

LOL, but you wouldn't actually bother with it to get the 'prize' on offer this time. I mean it is even worse than the table legs that everyone was 'thrilled' with. It actually doesn't DESERVE more than a clicky to get it in all honesty.

My actual issue is with the 'gift' to start with. I mean it was a serious question and something I really would like to know other peoples input on. Are you really satisfied with a copied cupid that does nothing, looks like a cartoon, has nothing at all to do with UO, has very little chance of being implemented into any realistic deco scheme and is just another totally useless item?

I mean most of us have been gaming here for over 15 or more yrs, is this really what you 'want' after all this time? I mean I would consider that a suitable 'reward' or 'gift' for a 7 yr old, not for those of us who are mostly over 30 if not 40 now. And if you are gonna give such a lame looking item then at least make it 'do' something. Give a mana refresh potion once a day for 50 points of mana, or just anything to make up for the crap cartoon art.

I honestly do not know why any of you are satisfied with this kinda of thing anymore. If you LOVE this item please say why, I am really interested to know if it is just me who cannot see the point in the devs wasting any time at all to produce this thing unless all they wanted to do was shut people up given they didn't even bother with xmas so they had to toss some junk out for Valentines?

How about next year we get something like this? If you seriously want to encourage people to play together and have a community event. And make it enjoyable. (this is only a toss together but you get the idea).

@ Xris if you had negative karma the black one is impossible to see in your packpack, at least in EC. I don't recall seeing a message when I received the gift and even the most talented thief can't steal it b4 it gets in your pack.

I've had that problem many a time in the past with dark objects. Someone finally told me you can change the shape/color of your pack. I use a white fur one.

"The Pirates Life may not fit into those but I bet the other three will." I'm hoping it will be a repeat of the Rising Tides event - with new rewards at the BUCs Pirate - so I'm out collecting cargo again!

@misse To be fair, I understand a lot of your frustration, and for a long time, I said the same sort of things - I myself am a very gear and equipment orientated player. I like useful things ingame.

For the sake of these gifts, I don't think this is the place to take out this frustration.

For content going forwards, yes there is stuff I'd love to see, maybe in events and stuff. My best suggestion for you, is to come up with some ideas, and try and communicate them here, we have these forums, hopefully they see some of it.

I wish we could get the valentine tree with the animated hearts, I seen these and other really nice valentine deco around the banks. It would have been nice to have another dungeon kill for a few nice items.

Yeah I get it but I don't need stuff to be useful if it is tasteful, I am just as much into deco as the next person. If it was even somehow slightly related to UO overall graphics it would be fine, why not a Crystal Lattice Seeker cupid or Ethereal Warrior cupid made into a painting or something? I am not into junk and kids toys and stuff really suitable for 7 yr olds. How can anyone get excited about this? I really wanna know.
