Will the Holmes' Abomination spawn end when the Wildfire quest begins?  I noticed that the deco at the "Where's Yukio" quest turn-in spot was removed but you can still run the quest.

I'd love the extra time, especially since getting a full set of pages is almost as hard as getting earrings to drop :P

Pawain - what is your guesstimate on how many additional drops you got in that potion hour, please? Additionally, what character type did you use. Thank you!

The most important here is a system with no bugs.

I rather wait a week or two extra - for a bugfree content.

Take the time it needs, please.

The dynamic dungeons have been used 3 times now. Nothing to test. The only thing that happens is spawn gets stuck in walls and such.

Yes @ Kyronix potions please.

It's very noticeable. If I had to guess, I'd say it almost doubles the amount of drops in that hour (when comparing same time / play styles with/without potion).

I still say that is intended since it works on the spawns.  But not a big deal, if you want to spend 10 minutes killing each thing go ahead.

I hope the armor is the color of the Wildfire Ostard!

If intended why does it say my music succeeds and you start a fight...
Not to mention @Kyronix replied to a thread in the bugs section saying it was being looked at...

This leads me to believe it's not intended..

“According to Mesanna (source: Europa Meet & Greet transcript) Wildfire will be active in fel on one east shard, one west shard and one Japanese shard. I believe this to be the exact correct action to take.”

I hope this will not be a 4 week long event - the list ist dammed long and and so at the short first overview there are many nice things to get .... I also hope the drop of the armor parts are much more better than the drop of the pages of lore - i wish a much better drop than the two ToT-Events we had before ... and I plz plz hope, there will be no masses of paragons spawning ...

Lets not give them ideas.  I doubt the pet is shard bound,  The Statue could be.

Would be a mess if things in our stable were shard bound.  Cant shard transfer with pets,  not a good idea.

I think the weapons being Antique is very disappointing.

I can {almost} get it maybe with the pvp bokuto…

I do not get it with the Kryss.

But - the Gargoyle Soul Glaive - that really needs to be fully repairable.

Gargoyles have a few items in that reward list - but none of them are actually usable.

2 weapons, that are Antique - an antique weapon is literally unplayable. And some Earrings - that take up a valuable slot, that is just a bonus to other races - so Gargoyles have been really shafted by this reward list.

I would really ask @kyronix - that you make the gargoyle soul glaive fully repairable, give them something nice from this reward list.

@kyronix ;

I think these 2 together, seem very nice, thank you. 🙂

These 2 are winners. Extra, balanced, and not OP.

{Well, the additional HCI 10 maybe OP, making the whole DCI HCI equation easier, but not outlandish}.

They already did that with Power Scrolls. Had book with some in it about 200 of them I found at a idoc had to place a house then take each scroll out until I found that ONE shard bond one,

You can take scrolls out of a book OUT of a book while in your backpack. Also, I didn't think shard bound scrolls could be added to power scroll books? When did that change?

The newsletter does not speak of a "Switch on" to Drachenfels  - but to Origin - and it shows a list of the rewards that logically will be set to all other servers  -  logic or not? ..... *rolleyes*

Popps is not the only one who will complain about mechanism... others also will find out later that later  - but this people you'll never hear here because they’re too cowardly to say anything here or don’t dare  .

... this is Bedtime for Germans and all European folk (Danish, Swedish, Frensh, Italians, Spains and so on)  if you're not a nightowl. We have the Middle of the Night here  and - also logic - that at this time  00:27 you can shout what you want  - you'll get no answer!

But i kick your ass again if you say once more that DF is dead Pawain We have another Prime Time!

So... i'm going to bed now, but I'll have a look on Origin when I wake up in the morning.

@ McDougle - re: Provocation, that will be addressed in a publish later this season.

Jepeth: Will the upcoming treasures event in the Fire Dungeon be available in both trammel and felucca on all shards?

Mesanna: no sir
Mesanna: Fel on a very few shard
Jepeth: I assume Atlantic again for sure
Mesanna: do not assume anything
Mesanna: lol
Jepeth: Is this something your team will be watching in the first few weeks with the potential for an expansion if neccessary?

I just want to express that I am INCREDIBLY disappointed with this decision. It should be in Fel on ALL shards.

   Is this really how it's going down? 

  If all shards aren't getting equal content, what's the point in the rewards being shard-bound?

AlreadyDead said:

I share the sentiment that it'll be rubbish if shards are treated differently but if shards aren't getting equal content then there's even more reason for everything to be shard bound due to different playing fields.

Pawain said:

@ Mene_Drachenfels  The first thing I said about the Dynamics spawns was  The participation reward drop is too little.

The first thing I said about the Dynamic Dungeons was there are not enough mobs to kill.

Neither of those have been addressed.  Now we on our third Dungeon not counting the test.

I have not said any of them have been difficult.  Just too difficult to get drops even when you have hours to play.

Hi Psycho,

Couple of comments, I get what you are saying on most.

The Weapons being antique, yes, I completely don't understand. Maybe for a pvp bokuto with splintering, but even that, is very weak compared to your average pvp bokuto. The flame slayer kryss, that can only be for pvm, it does have some weird stats, and there is no reason why that cannot be fully repairable, to be a nice little slayer to add to the kryss range. The Soul Glaive, just has to be fully repairable.

The Earrings, yes they are seriously good. But not for Gargoyles.

The Mask - not everyone can afford a Leurocians Mempo (starting at 100m, with less other properties) - I am using standard Imbued in this slot, and the Mask beats anything that can be crafted. I consider the Mask great for most players.

The Ring, yes it adds to the Bracelet, and again - a top Antique ring for pvp will set you back 250m for approximately 6-7 correct mods, and be destroyed in 6 months, requiring another 250m to be spent - again, not everyone can afford this level of wear and tear on their armour. This ring along with the bracelet, maxes you out on 4! PvP mods, and adds a nice contribution towards 2 more - ie 6 mods. Agreed top end would want more, but these 2 in combo, add a very nice Clean option, for those who cannot stand the stress of the Antique merry-go-round. They are like a PvP version of the Novo Bleu Set.

The Talisman, I did not understand, and Deco is Deco, nice if you like it, I quite like the look of a couple, and the Book of Lore is nice.

The Ostard - yes that is expensive. There are 2 months for this quest. You have to choose. Ideally, I'd like 6 rings, 2 Masks, 2 Earrings, an Ostard, and the Book, maybe even some of the Deco - that is looking like 2,500 points almost - not even possible. Cutting right back, to 1 Ring, 1 Earring, 1 Mask will equal 500 points for me, which will take some work, but be doable (I also got around 800 from Deceit - where I worked hard for me - my work is so busy, I may not be able to repeat that), then spares into Book maybe. Yes, I'd like to be able to get more than that, they do seem to underestimate how many characters we have, and may be trying to equip. They do seem to make these grinds too hard. But at least this grind, I understand and can do, and I don't have to rely on RNG for...

Yoshi said:

"i disagree that the items are weak, the 200 luck hat, i know anyone with a lucksuit will strive to get even though it is only 10 luck more, the 10HCI earrings are in extremely high demand. 

I would be interested to know if some of the other items have uses, perhaps the lucky abomination skull for 150 points works like a luck statue but better?

I however agree about the antique weapons, especially with splintering, i'm not sure i would even want the weapons even if they were not antique"

Yoshi said:

"does anyone know if they successfully fixed the hand in artifacts to be cursed? or they remain insurable?"

We do not even know the Felucca shards yet - only 3 will be.... I'm praying for Europa 🙂

The small increase in gargoyle armor's "Base resistances" is very far from enough to justify fewer equipment slots for them.

Pawain said:

@ popps  You have a real valid complaint about the prices on the items.  Get your writing materials out.

Most of the things they are trying to pass as weapons are just deco.  There is a lot of real just deco.  All of those are way too much.  None of those should be more than 25 points.

Wildfire Ostard 300 Points!!!  That should be 150.

@ Kyronix need a potion in the store.  No way to get that many points on a busy taming shard like LS.  The dungeon will be packed and we will be finding 1 mob every minute.

---At least it says it lasts till 9/01/21 So two months.---  Still too pricey.

Gargs have the same amount of slots. They have kilts with stats. Human kilts/skirts do not have stats. Human earrings do not have high resists.

@ Kyronix - Is there any reason behind the weapons being antique? Especially when it comes to the soul glaive; it's a 100% fire / fire area weap that won't have huge impacts in fire dungeon (maybe if it were cold instead) but could have some use... that said it being antique pretty much makes it a waste of a pick.

Sorry to disagree, but they don't:
Human helm - gargoyle earrings
human gorget - gargoyle necklace
Human chest - gargoyle chest
human arms - gargoyle arms
human legs - gargoyle legs
human gloves - gargoyle kilt
human cloak - gargoyle wing armor
human earrings - gargoyle ???

They just added human earrings with some stats.  They do not have high resists tho.  They could, like some suggested make Horn rings for gargs to even that up.

My dexxers only wear night sight earrings if they they are human so they do not see a difference.

Pawain said:

Like I said,  someone came up with the idea of Horn rings.  Make an appeal to someone who can make that happen.  I can't.  And I would not be against it.

Kyronix said:

@ RonFellows - likely rolling out tomorrow, keep an eye on UO.com
@ zima - the wildfire ostard is almost a 1:1 re-release of the Bane Dragon, which came from a player request (with a much more BA hue if I do say so myself).  Some of the other artifacts came from the ToT reward thread that's been out for a bit, and items that fit thematically with the event series.  There's a lot of review items go through before release, and I share all feedback for future releases with the rest of the team.

As always, appreciate the feedback.

Wouldn't brittle accomplish the same thing? There is not lasting forever, and then there is not lasting a month like an antigue weapon would.
Following the idea that antique items get higher intensity, shouldn't they at least be a little more powerful (imbue weight wise) than something I can get from a low level mob? From my experience, brittle splinter weps don't last very long. Antique makes them useless.

Comments like this have no place here, whether in jest or otherwise.  Happy to have an exchange but essentially advocating violence against me, I'm sure we can find a better way to communicate feedback.  

That being said - the problem with equipment lasting forever is that it breaks one of the fundamental gameplay loops within the game world.  By equipment functionally lasting forever, there is no need to replace it, hence there is no aspiration to acquire more and engage in further game play.  This results in a scenario where we have to release increasingly more powerful (desirable) equipment to replace existing equipment in order to keep the loop progressing.  This is how we end up with power creep, and encounters that become increasingly difficult.  

If the equipment isn't worth collecting from your perspective that's understandable.  Hopefully you'll find one of the other items appealing.

Ouch, call that one lost in translation!

I forget your culture, you have an issue with that comment, for us in the UK, that is a throwaway line. 🙁   Apologies there, did not realise.

I sort of disagree with the rest of your premise though.

In this game, we collect sets of stuff, we have multiple characters, we have multiple accounts, we play multiple shards, we need different items for different tasks. There are also multiple ways for items to drop out of the game, we collect so much, we bin it, unravel in use it for clean-up points, players leave the game and houses go IDOC.

It is not a case of we find 1 weapon, and that is it.

To use Stygian Abyss artefacts as an example, they are all fully repairable etc, are they causing issues? Or for example - Blackthorn Kryss from clean-up points?

I do get your point, it can happen, but actually, the chances are pretty slim in UO these days.

Thank you for answering anyway. 🙂

Edit - in the case of those weapons - it really is a case of why put them out in that format - it is expressly the Antique property that will put absolutely everyone off. Whereas without Antique, they could be usable.

AlreadyDead said:

Interesting insight into the issue although i think that the problem still exists regardless of the need to replace it. Aspiration of grinding towards an item is lowered knowing it won't last forever and also the desire to replace it over a lower powered longer lasting item declines.

Personally antique items are my most hated aspect of the game, the constant need to be repaired and the essentially added cost per use variable, makes me value 5 mod imbued or clean legendary jewels a lot more and resigning all my antique uber legendary jewels to chests in my house. In saying that, PvP is almost non-existent on my home shard similar to the use of anything antique.

100% agree.

With/Without these Negative properties - the wish for power creep will still exist, and does.

And, also amongst my most hated aspects of the game.

Sometimes, you have to look at it from a players perspective.

Adding negatives into a game, is just not fun. It wastes my time, and stops me actually playing the game.

Guys, not every item is gonna be amazing. Some people will want to collect every item available, others only want deco. Don't like that? Then there is plenty of OP stuff to grind. Earrings with 10 HCI, Bane Ostards, 200 luck mask. I'll take it.

It isn't that it isn't amazing.

It's actually pretty much unusable for most gamers.

These are equipment weapon items, they are meant to have a purpose.

The fact they are not amazing, is not even an issue, at that point you can say "take it or leave it" for sure.

But you cannot put something that is meant to be usable, out as unusable, and say "take it or leave it".

Deco has a separate purpose 🙂

And quite often, if people don't like the art - the purpose it is there for, people do mention it.

And I am not rioting, I am giving feedback - that probably 95% of the players are thinking, to try and help the Devs put an item out that would be more appreciated.

I see it as usable from the perspective of a new player. It is rather easy to obtain because it doesn’t require many turn in points. I can then use this cheap weapon with decent stats to obtain a similar, or better, weapon that will be more permanent. 

Even for a new player.

It is worth 75 drops. Assume you get 5 drops an hour, like many players - that is 15 solid hours of gameplay - for an item that will have zero value ingame, and will wear down very quickly, probably quicker than it takes you to find a replacement item.

For 75 points, it is up against one of the truly remarkable, new, unique items in the game, that will be worth millions - the 10HCI earrings - why? Because this property has never been done before for this slot.

It is not rather easy to obtain in perspective.

It is your game, but I am not sure even a new player would value this weapon.

The cost was bumped down to 25 points, which I felt made it more accessible to new players. It is a flame slayer fencing weapon with spell casting properties splashed in. While it’s obviously not an endgame piece of equipment, it may prove useful to players that have recently started the game attempting to get a foothold in the new event.

Didn't see the new price sorry, I tried to verify it before I made that comment, but took someone's else word for it 🙂

Understood.

And anyway, we are all up and running, good luck all 🙂

I see it as usable from the perspective of a new player. It is rather easy to obtain because it doesn’t require many turn in points. I can then use this cheap weapon with decent stats to obtain a similar, or better, weapon that will be more permanent. 

Even for a new player.

It is worth 75 drops. Assume you get 5 drops an hour, like many players - that is 15 solid hours of gameplay - for an item that will have zero value ingame, and will wear down very quickly, probably quicker than it takes you to find a replacement item.

For 75 points, it is up against one of the truly remarkable, new, unique items in the game, that will be worth millions - the 10HCI earrings - why? Because this property has never been done before for this slot.

It is not rather easy to obtain in perspective.

It is your game, but I am not sure even a new player would value this weapon.

The cost was bumped down to 25 points, which I felt made it more accessible to new players. It is a flame slayer fencing weapon with spell casting properties splashed in. While it’s obviously not an endgame piece of equipment, it may prove useful to players that have recently started the game attempting to get a foothold in the new event.

@ Kyronix  There is a bug with Antique items they do not allow PoF to the 3 levels they should.

It would be different if they worked as intended.

But, even if they worked as intended, I would not use an antique weapon or armor on a Melee toon.  Wear out too fast.

Also if you want to make disposable items they should cost a disposable price.
