[Development] The event The Rifted Crown is in urgent need of modification

edited June 18 in General Discussions

The event is in urgent need of modification. 

The absence of crafters without explosive ingredients causes the event to stall, which will lead to short-term disinterest when crafters with ingredients get tired or get the items they want. It is unrealistic and pointless, that the wall can take a blast from a crafter but will not accept a blast from a mage or can take hits from a weapon. Please correct this urgently 

Failure to modify this factor may result in the event being considered a failure. 

Picture of players waiting approx. 15-20 minutes (and that was one player, possibly longer) waiting for someone with ingredients to come and destroy a door.

From the time I took the original photo to this one, even longer, more people, totally blocked. 30 minutes wasted.

    Yeah, the entire event belongs back on TC1. This was decently thought out but POORLY executed. 6 hours between rotation at minimum (if you can even get past certain stages!) is too long.

    40 minutes of my capture and possibly 1 hour waiting for players because when I arrived they were already waiting.



    I attach one minute snapshot to prove that it is true.


    1 = 20:05
    2 = 20:45

    And it's still blocked, about an hour and the first day!

    now at 21:05 an hour ago with the door unopened, this is when one wonders for whom this event was developed, minorities or majorities? I am very, very disappointed and dissatisfied, 

    honestly, I was expecting something entertaining.

    how this major failure could not be seen in a Test Centre, unbelievable.

    A lot of shards are reporting the same thing, people sitting for hours and hours and nothing, the fact that you need to rely on someone to log and help crafting. good luck   Europa shard we were sitting for 4 hours until someone finally help.   Will be a goo idea maybe for very low population shards to keep the gates open all the time?

    Players asked for more templates to be involved in events, they do it, yall complain.  I guess yall did not do the Khaldun event.  You could do no damage without a crafter making your cadellite infused weapon or pet treat.

    Would it help if I told you I got 25 drops and so much rubble from breaking walls and had to go drop it off before I wanted to finish it.

    Posters say, bring back the bots!!

    How is it possible that, among so many players, none of them have crafters with 40, 50 Alchemy skill and Blacksmithy 75 ?

    It is not like dedicated crafters with high skills need to be available to open the gates...
    Not to mention that, every Template can operate the equipment, crafters are needed just to make it... why don't people get a stock from crafters or look up Vendor Search to get the Siege Equipment kits and the bombs ?

    Crafters haven't had time to build up a stock yet! Help them by farming reagents?

    This.  Crafters should make a killing from the rubble alone that they get, but they do need the ingredients.

    As I stated on discord either bring your own crafter or farm supplies your sense of entitlement is off the charts

    It really sounds like this thread is made and endorsed by players who want to monetarily profit  from the events.

    They can't be bothered to play UO.

    They could lower the catapult requirement.   120 to 140 shots is a lot.   With the leeches waiting for a player who plays UO to break the walls.

    I hope LS has breeched the city today without me on.  They do have resources. 

    Great. Discord, another place to whine and complain until they can profit instead of have fun.

    You are one of the wealthiest players in the game, you've got this :)

    It was deliberate, I recognised all the botters waiting in that queue.

    Thirded. I brought what I had for ammo to the event yesterday and my (very small) supply was depleted fast! I spent last evening farming crystalline blackrock but it is slow. If you are bored go kill void creatures and/or shadow/ dull copper eles for those sweet void orbs and crystalline blackrock. I don't think I will go back to the event until the weekend but when I do I am willing to help craft bombs for all; I simply don't have the ingredients yet

    Funny how a lot of these posters complaining are the ones asking for the devs to upgrade the Peerless etc drops.  ALL of those require gathering of "resources" before you can enter.

    Devs, update items, posters complain they have to do something to get to those items.

    Lower the amount of bombs and catapult hits should be the only modification to the event.

    I told Popps he could have a lucrative business from crafting these items.  Drop runes at the city gate when the crowd is there. Someone will pay millions for the Bombs and Catapult kits.

    I have a couple hundred thousand crystalline blackrock, I get it mining a lot and surprisingly to some - I enjoy mining, lumberjacking.


    I think this event is crazy awesome, haven't been part of the walls yet but everything else has been fun - very pleasantly surprised.

    I don't seem to have a stock pile of void orbs though, and I think I need them. Where do those come from?



    A request. Can next event have some sort of running around cutting down special events trees for the crafters do build something with? A boat, maybe a giant wooden horse to breach the city, or even a wooden captcha structure that makes you identify which of these pictures contain a fire hydrant.

    That is a great idea. :)

    @Community Manager  While doing the dungeon just now I noticed a way to solve the resource issue.

    The Void Wraith has a bunch of necro regs on it, like 20 to 50 of each.  Solves the need for Daemon blood.  The void slugs have reagents.  Others have resources.

    In the Dungeon part.
    The Voidspawn Horror has nothing on it but some gold.  Put a chance of 5 or 10 Void Orbs and/or Crystalline Blackrock  on those.  5 Blackrock on the Void Slugs.

    This would prove if the feedback is legit or just from lazy players that want things for free.

    We can only loot the paragons there.  So its not like we will get too much.

    But we will have to fight to earn them.

    It was a bad idea to use Void Orbs.  Every crafted weapon can use up to 30 of those.

    If this is feedback, the dungeon is too Easy without the Rift Daemons!  Ours were replaced with renamed Cocoanut Crabs,  They are ok but not tough enough.  Every other dungeon I notice when my Dragon Barding wears out,  today I did not, even in a crowd.

    Yep, this is definitely the hardest spawn I have seen so far.

    I think the others are easier than this.

    l’m shocked at people being unhappy with this event. I logged in right after server maintenance with my stealther and took out both the first two walls to get to the catapult pad then took out the city wall. Then stealthed into the city and hunted for chests. I had a blast. 

    When fighters logged on they mopped up the spawn between the catapult pad and the city wall then entered the city and cleaned up in there. It wasn’t too long before the city was cleaned up and we could blow a hole in the north wall to make our way to the dungeon. 

    How is it possible folks can’t find crafters to make supplies needed for this? Anyone can use the explosives and catapults. All you need is one well rounded crafter to make what you need. 

    Anywho, I’m enjoying the event very much. And I’d like to thank the devs for their creativity on this one.

    completely false and a comment made in the deepest ignorance and wickedness.

    I didn't know you were another deceiver too, I'm glad the mask has fallen off and I've come to know you for what you are, I'll keep that in mind for the future.

    Another one of your fallacies, provocative and deeply evil comments, which is what nests inside you.

    I already know you, there is little to add when the person has already been portrayed, exposed and humiliated for his shamelessness.

    The biggest scammer, botter as you say and deceiver of this community I have ever met, is you.


    1) For the recognition and publication of unofficial customer photos (illegal, even in this forum, which were removed).

    2) For publicly acknowledging the use of scripts

    3) The use of bots for resource exploitation.


    Like in this event, you with your two automated gargoyles exploiting resources in an automated way.



    There is nothing more to add in the face of someone like you, as usual, you can laugh as you always do, your provocation achieved what it wanted, to upset.

    Too bad you are so rotten inside to continually think “how can I upset, provoke and make others feel bad”.


    That said, this feedback can be closed and deleted.

    If it helps, I am not going to reply too much.
    However, I did also recognise 2-3 of your characters.
    You cannot go round acting like this, with no consequence.
    (Calm down, stop hurling abuse at everyone, and I will stop).

    Another one of your lies, there was only my tamer who I use as a tank for the enemies.

    That's a completely legal thing to do.

    What is not legal is using 3 characters where automatically your 3 clients attack continuously.


    I have told you in discord to stop bothering me and you come here to this publication to bother me with your comments, to provoke me, to want to harm me.

    There should have been consequences with you a long time ago and nothing has happened yet.

    So, the same thing I told you on discord, please don't even comment on my messages, you only want to hurt me.

    you are only in the business of harming

    speak in the singular and those who tell lies and accusations as was the case with Pawain.

    I don't know Pawain, I agree with him sometimes, I disagree with him sometimes, I don't personally insult him.

    I don't know you, I disagree with you sometimes, I don't personally insult you.

    You however, insult people a lot.
    You cannot expect me to sit there and take it, because I react to bullies automatically, call it my character trait. :)

    I saw The Avatar, Elf Sampire?, and Elf Tamer. I believe they are yours.
    (If you had put names on the screenshot - I would have identified them all for you - I almost did that myself).

    I have said, calm down, stop insulting people, I will stop. I am still happy to end it on good terms.

    The name Elf Shampire no longer exists, because I used a renowned deed with it to create The True Avatar.

    How many lies, inventions to create evil and provoke.

    So what did you see? NOTHING

    What you are is happy that someone is playing along and answering your nastiness, that's why you are happy.

    I hope Mariah can close and delete this quickly.

    All is said and done, as usual, you are portrayed in your lies, frauds and provocations. There is nothing more to add.

    I did in fact say somewhere, I believe I saw 2-3 of your characters, I was not sure.

    I'll let the rest go, as being part of your character.

    It must be the translation, or I don't understand it, or you don't understand me, or you just want to provoke and laugh.

    Let me put it another way, I can only have 2 accounts simultaneously, because I only have one with a subscription and the other is EJ.

    There were no 3 characters, neither logged out, nor logged in. Stop posting 3 because it's not true.


    And the thing about insulting everyone is not true, another one of your lies.

    Saying to someone that provokes or what I tell you, is not an insult, it is a fact based on some actions, very different.

    And so, I act like this with you because it is already a long time, I recognise you for a long time and I know your actions, that's why I am like this with you.

    Because you have earned it with tenacity.

    The day I see that you change, that you don't just see how you can screw with others, I'll consider being less hard on you.

    It is translation - I was saying, I thought I saw 3, but it may have been 2.
    I accept it was 2.

    Have a look at your posts.
    I can give many examples, of you insulting many people.

    I admit I have earned it, but then in my eyes, you deserve it :)

    You don't need to be less hard on me - nothing you say can affect me - I am trying to help you, by helping you get to this point, then you will take offence less, and then you will react less badly to things.

    if i've spoken harshly to someone it's because i've seen something serious, i don't act like this at random.

    you've had your daily dose of nastiness, let's call it a day.

    And if you really want to help others:

    1) start by not lying or making up things that aren't true.

    2) think about how to serve the other person, not how to provoke them and make them feel bad.
