It's a little frustrating that the only weekend there will be Fel game play for ATL, I will be out of town. While I think Fel should be open the entire time the event is active on ATL given the sheer numbers of people always on, I would settled for a full week (ie ATL - 10/14-10/21) for each shard. That way the people that aren't around on weekends would still be able to partake.
Thanks.
**EDIT - Also please make BOTH Fel/Tram open during these weekends so people that scared of Fel do not have to step foot in the facet
I'm usually one of the 'glass half full' voices here that tries to find the silver lining in all decision making, but it's frustrating and disappointing that Atlantic is only getting three days. 80%+ (if not more like 90%) of the population of UO has their houses on Atlantic. Fel Deceit should have been opened on Atlantic for the full duration of the event. It’s fine and dandy that some of the other shards should get some time, but Atlantic really should have had the longest period.
I mean really… one weekend? Not even a full week for the most popular shard? It would be appreciated if the developers could atleast provide some color as to the reasoning behind this... or better yet to give this some reconsideration to open longer on Atlantic @Kyronix ; @Mesanna ; @Bleak
Just a guess.
There is no risk since your drops are insured. Only reward.
All I say is the champ spawn should not have the of the Archlich tag and let it be in fel all the time.
So I am for it being in fel all the time with 1 little change.
I wouldn't really call anything in Fel "PvP" on shards like GL/LS/Pac/Drac... I'm guessing there is enough population to warrant them getting the weekend event versus shards like Baja but I'd be curious to know just how much more population or "PvP" really happens on those shards. It's more likely people from ATL will transfer to those shards just for the PvP and whatever native PvPers there are on those shards will not play that weekend.
Still, it would be more straightforward to have the event in Fel at all times on all shards. The devs suggested that they don’t do this because the event is more fun when participation is at critical mass, but I disagree. A PVP event can be even more fun when there are just a few people and it’s not a zerg fest. I don’t understand why population is a consideration at all when most shards are dead in both Tram and Fel.
