My losses

Grimbeard

I have estimated 18k an hour I will lose please x this by 40 hours a week for duration of event add in current shard market value of undying flesh and deposit in my bank please @Kyronix ;

Violet

And to think, not spending that time looting gold, just one additional drop from that time saved will nullify any of that lost gold for the week.

Grimbeard

I've always gotten more than I needed and all that gold I don't like Atlantic issues punishing me

720k a week?

I got you.  How many weeks is this, let’s pay the tab out now so we don’t have to keep seeing this.

Violet

But you can simply sell a single drop and get more value than spending all the time looting gold.  When people intentionally try to make issues or problems where there really are none, they then lose credibility in other arguments they make. Especially when they immediately dismiss solutions.  

Pick your battles, this doesn’t have to be an unending war against the developers and enjoying the game.

Was alright when I could loot corpses that had over 1000 gold.  Could pay for my death robes.  Now mostly just a piece of crap.  Not enough players on this morning to take on the boss and only the third day.

LilyGrace

Well, it must be nice to play UO in ways that have you not needing or wanting more gold by looting the mobs you kill. Ya know, like we’ve always been able to do for the last 20+ years? This fix for Atlantic is a punishment and big disappointment for some players. Period. But feel free to take a haughty attitude towards others as long as you’ve enough gold for this hot”fix” not to bother you.

This pretty much sums it up.

i can understand some entertainment value and some of the items are hard to get but basing it on the loss of gold from these vs just selling 1 drop?  Crazy. 

 If it takes me 10 mins to get the drops for these to offset the costs, time/money well spent. 

LilyGrace

And if you’ve limited time to devote and you want to keep the drops you get and turn them in? 

This only acceptable to those of you who are getting what you want at the expense of those who aren’t. I give up. Let’s normalize not being able to loot our kills so Atlantic doesn’t lag. Great idea.

How much are you out?  I’ll pay that too.

I’m a casual player, but  I’m willing to help out.

what shard do you play on?

Get bent

Well, that’s rude.

The typical Atlantic attitude says it all the developers ignored feedback and the beat goes on...

I don’t play ATL either and had zero issues with lag.

I have 500k on Violet.  I’m far from having a lot of gold.  I don’t play the game to make gold, I play the game to enjoy the game and use my knowledge to teach others about the game.  I also understand looting gold during treasure events has an opportunity cost.  And it’s much more efficient to kill mobs and get artifacts than to spend that time looting gold. You get more drops and if you need gold you can sell a drop or two and then you will have gold.

I understand not everyone wants to be efficient, however The Devs made these changes due to very real server stability issues.  Those issues may not affect you now, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t in the nearly three months this event will be live.  Sometimes we need to look outside ourselves and think of how the changes serve the greater good, a game that is more playable for all on every server.

Also, like OreoGL, I also don’t play Atlantic.

This event is about getting drops not items from corpses. It is as simple as that. Go farm gold in other places.

A.for one server stability issue 
B. Maybe some people's play style involved looting

Easy fix.  The gold we would have gotten from a Mob goes into our bank.  I can't believe we are still having to loot what we earned after 27 years.  I had hoped this would be taken care of in NL.

Having to look at the other items is fine and should be our choice to do so or not, but we should get our gold automatically.

Grimbeard

What's gonna happen when that lich dry loots some one and they lose multiple drops 

Pawain

The anti pifer statue has too long of a cooldown to use again. 
I did that, Killed by one looter, and a lich res killed and looted some more.   That's the life of a UO player tho.

Good god you dead-sharders live in poverty. Yeah this comes out to like eight or nine mil or something, add me to the list of people who'll pay that much just to not see this dumb thread.

Now see, this is a reasonable issue to address.

you can fix that for a little while with the anti loot totem. 

Violet

@Grimbeard it was more than just Atlantic, it was multiple servers.  

And I’m sure the devs have already thought about the rummaging

Then apply it to said servers not Origin and Baja that had zero issues..
