@popps do you see how many eggs I am getting? When it is live there is a special egg that gives unknown points. Are you getting drops or eggs right now? I don't live on Atl, I'm taking these eggs back or bringing LS eggs here depending on shard bound status.
Just for the record, this is Atlantic... the rest of the shards where most of the players play, does not have the Matriarch popping up every 15 minutes or so...
The "permanent" content to turn in eggs and get a Mature egg will need to also work on lower population Shards where the Matriarch, if lucky, spawns 2 or 3 times a day if even (and one needs to be logged online at those times... obviously...).
If on lower population Shards it will be necessary to gather some 4,000 Flawless eggs and thus do 8,000-9,000 Nest Maps to get them (my finding is I got 1 Flawless egg over 30 normal eggs gathered), on lower population Shards it will take an ridicolous high playing time (and repetitive farming) to get the necessary eggs.
It definitely needs to be rethought, to my opinion, as permanent content, and require way less eggs.
No time to complain about it you better get on you 300+days plus days without eating or sleeping to get one!
You come across incredibly negative and entitled about this. Most of us aren’t treating the game like a job where we expect a paycheck we’re here to relax, have fun, and enjoy the content at our own pace. If you look around this thread, everyone else participated, got some rewards, and came here to share their experiences. You’re the only one turning it into “It takes too long, I want everything, and I want it right now.”
I am only saying that, to my opinion, those numbers look too high and seem to ask for a playing time that I see as too long.
I am not saying that I want it right now, "some" time to get an in game item I see as reasonable, I just happen to not see that time that the numbers on Test Server show, as being a reasonable time, to my personal opinion and liking.
Perhaps, I imagine, I have a different perception about how much time may or may not be considered as reasonable to get an in game item.
Throughout this Event, I have read quite a few posts from fellow UO players lamenting how they were upset about not getting a Mature egg... and they tried and tried be it helping kill the Matriarch, or doing Nest Maps, or doing Hidden Chests... apparently, I am not the only one lamenting that perhaps it takes too much time to get a Mature egg...
Sure, at least turning eggs in will guarantee a Mature egg (contrary to during the Event when the RNG was the only one to decide it...) but at the cost of how much time, I am asking, if a players needs, even for the lowest cost (hue 0) Mature egg, 10,000 points which means, at 20 points per Flawless egg, some 500 Flawless eggs. If one gets 1 Flawless egg every 30 eggs (this is at least what happened to me, on average), to get 500 Flawless eggs means having to gather 15,000 regular eggs or so, moreless.
That is still quite a lot of Nest Maps to have to do. Many, many hours of repetitive gameplay doing Nest Maps.
To some, all of this time might still be reasonable, I happen to see it, instead, as too much time which will take gameplay away from being able to play other content in UO.
Personally, I would rather much more prefer to have a varied and diversified gameplay in Ultima Online rather then have to repeat, over and over and over again, the same gameplay because, in order to get the item from that particular content, it takes too many hours of the same gameplay due to how it has been Designed.
Of course, this is just my personal opinion.
Honestly how many eggs have you collected since you started the current biatch thread??
