with Hythloth coming soon

any word from Dev about Fel side or not?? @Kyronix ;

thought was supposed to go live today?

Define soon. 🙂

Current situation on ATL as people line up waiting for the event.... 



Just occurred to me today that we only get about a month for this event... we need all the time we can get!

hmm how many multiboxers can you spot in that picture <span></span>

I don't know about multi boxers, Whitewolf. It looked the same on Chessy with folks combing around looking for an npc and popping in and out of the dungeon giving their heads a scratch.

Nothing on Origin...

...and the crowd grows... 

And still no comment on if it's fel side as well in cases like this Atlantic really a victim of it's own success 

well communication with the player base has been the worst in the history of MMO's for several years now and this is a great example of it.

yeah, nothing on Catskills either. 

Now that server up has happened can  they put out turn in guy without talking server down again?

Soon?
@Kyronix ; wasnt supposed to be today?

Idk but on Origin server has gone down and up both it and pac around 515ish Pacific time 

I have been guessing a universal start time after all daily maintenance. The first sign might be a heads up in news at start up of game.

I have said time and time again i can accept not the answer i wanted but silence makes people feel ignored which breeds anger resentment etc  @Kyronix @Mesanna

I had no idea, I do apologise. 🙂

Not on Europa Felucca. Or Trammel, thought I'd better check that also. 🙂

I woke up at 6:00am for this! I don't do that for nothing...

You people should know that it doesn't automatically start with server up. They have to manually place all the NPC's and flip the switch...usually later on in the day.

When has it EVER started first thing after server up? How long have you been doing this??

Silly people....go kill butchers!

A simple starting at 8am and in alphabetical order we shall place turn in guy...communication isn't hard 

Approx noon EST has been more typical on opening day, right?

All of these events require manual activation.  Keep an eye on UO.com as we work through setup today.  Happy Hunting!

I was thinking perhaps a noon pacific time, but I would look for first indication in news.  As to alphabetical, I would agree if the alphabet starts with L A K E S U P E R I O R.

Now he just said exactly what I said....and it's been like this for how long now? Ya'll should know these things by now!

And they have said it in the past....so if I were ya'll, Screenshot his reply because it won't change.

I understand it's the same but fail to understand why something that takes 30 seconds and appeases the player base is so difficult they could even script it...

Thank you :-)

Well, I didn't know.  And if you already knew, from participating in earlier events, that Dev's need to do this manually for each shard. And that these things never start at server up. Then not saying as much was a disservice to everyone.

You like to hear yourself talk. Why not speak up and tell folks what you know about how these things kick off rather than just throwing in "Nothing on Origin..." ? How was that helpful?

My thanks to Larisa, Kyronix and others for the clarification.

I shall be more communicative in the future whether I am unsure or not...

Not correct . I always go to Europa to see the color of the armor. They have had the dungeons begin at their server up every other time. Theirs should have began almost 10 hours ago. 

Seems like a really small dungeon for a major event.

Preeeeeeeecisely! 🙂

Yea I thought the same thing (especially on ATL). Hopefully the spawn is at a good rate so that we can get enough drops to get all the items we want (I want the balron armor in human and garg so that's 300 pts right there). The potion should help with that but I'm hoping they let this event go a little longer than 1 month (til the end of Nov would be nice but might encroach on the next event).

that potion should not exist to fix a problem of their own creation.  because you have to pay cash for it that would be... well that would be a scam.  it's pay to win in that case

The problem is there have been occasions where both shard up and later starting times have been used.  I would say that it is a legitimate observation that communication could have been better and 24 hours or greater notice could, and should have, been posted.  Even if a starting time had not been finalized, a notice to check back for that determination would have been appropriate.

It should happen at server up as does all else now with manual set up
A. We wait with no clear times (imagine having bought a potion a using at server up only to waste it)
B. Did mention lack of communication
C. Now rather than the server up times we all know and expect they have to play favorites because i of course think my shard most important why wasn't it first..
Did I mention how important communication is...

@Kyronix - This might be a long shot but given the shortened timeline on the Halloween event (assuming about a month) and the smaller dungeon (compared to Deceit last Halloween); is there a way to decrease the cost of the higher end items like Balron armor / spellbook (assuming the values on TC1 were desired costs on live shards)? Maybe 125 for Balron armor & 150 for spellbook?

New drops are the yellow/red color.... thanks @Kyronix! Like the new color and was glad it wasn't beserker red
