  • Seems like after wave 75 things start to lag heavily when you are around the pirates. Once the pirates are all cleared the lag seems to lighten up until the next wave spawns (this is even around the piles of gargs spamming chiv spells and reapers).

  • I think it's back to being not good... last couple rounds on ATL have gotten very laggy after level 50ish @Kyronix
  • Petra_Fyde said: I don't do spreadsheets, but I can tell you it's variable. I've had 1 in a hoard and 4 in a cache. Best I've had was 5 in a cache, but I didn't half work for that. It was an Eodon map in which 3 of the 7 initial spawn were Di…
  • Violet said: Lord_Nythrax said: I'd just stop participating before I bothered caring about the pitiful low level of hats from everything besides the void pool. It's all about how efficient you are at those other tasks. I can get over…
  • We don't need account bound - we just need the lag on ATL in Cove to be fixed. Like I said, it seems like it's probably partly the bots just spamming their same spells non-stop but when the void pool ends and all the pirates are gone, I suddenly d…
  • @Arnold7 - You have had better luck than me with the supply chests. I did a few more supply chests as I'm clearing out my Davies a bit and out of the additional 4 maps I did I only got 1 more hat. In total the 16 maps I did (although spread across 2…
  • @Kyronix @Bleak- Come to Cove level 2 and tell us if the lag we are all experiencing is something you think is what it should be. I can barely cast an arch cure spell on myself to get rid of poison before it kills me because the lag is so bad. Check…
  • I think each chest should have at least 1 hat and higher levels should scale (maybe even if it's a max of 3 per chest at the highest level). I did 12 stash/supply maps this morning and only got 1 hat. That seems unbalanced to me.
  • I don't think it gets much more obvious than this... it's 7am EST and the void pool cycle ended 3minutes ago and people are still spamming reapers/wildfire/EV/chiv spells. This is just near the entrance; there is another spot with the same stuff g…
  • I just tried to test the store from CC and I received a message the store is currently down. Maybe they are fixing it?
  • Kyronix said a week or two ago that luck suits will not increase the drop rate. You are better off using your best (killing) suit to improve the speed of doing things.

  • Whitewolf said: not sure how to tag a dev in a post so if someone could do that for me id appreciate it, but i think an item that produces 1 set of peerless keys a week would be really neat, like medusa, travesty...etc, also a redeedable 1 ti…
  • Lord_Nythrax said: That whole era was the absolute peak of embarrassingly bad item rewards where it was really, really, really clear that the developers didn't play the game at any kind of high level. All kinds of different content went in th…
  • I'm glad there are multiple ways to get the hats for rewards because the amount of blatant botting going on at the void pool on ATL is stupid. If the rewards weren't 50% of repeated items that I already have (and even out of the new rewards there ar…
  • What time did the server go down? It's back up now. Also - roughly how many people (accounts) were there? I had a feeling ATL might break the game with the number of people hitting void pool; impossible to test that on TC1 though given how little p…
  • I'm not familiar with EC but isn't this limit to essentially prevent unlimited "looping" of a macro which could be used for unattended macroing? The limit ensures someone needs to be there after 10 to hit the button again?
  • Welcome back! Post back here with any questions you might have. The wiki here is helpful along with UOGuide (all round info) / UO Stratics (other popular forums) / UO-Cah (newer events userguides)

  • username said: Tried out the void pool last night on Baja. The Pirates spawned and just sat there. They would only move when agro'd on a player and once again stop when de-agro'd. Now I haven't done the void pool in a while but last time I sw…
  • Looks like the squeaky McDougle gets the High Seas grease. Congrats.
  • That's a great question... I'm done testing on TC1 since it seems like at this point the publish is what it is regardless of what I test but I will definitely see if this is the case when it goes live.
  • Pawain said: UO has so few players when compared to all online games.  Why do we have so many cheaters at every opportunity? I don't know if I'd consider hanging out in Cove getting "free" drops "cheating". They were taking advantage of the…
  • popps said: The Glorious Potion argument that you bring up is very on spot, I think. It cost real money, and it lasts for 1 hour, that's it. Collection Methods for Pirate Hats which have dead times, be them sailing to find a Beacon, Dread P…
  • Radst said: The attitude is obvious. What a PRO. It's unfortunate that the Dev team is selective on their feedback; some of which is a direct question which is about testing the new publish on TC1. I thought this would be community mana…
  • popps said: Lord_Nythrax said: Everything but the Void Pool sounds like a waste of time as far as drop rates go. The Void Pool has nothing of all this, just wait for the waves and kill, kill and kill some more and get Pirate Hats. …

  • I think you are going to be disappointed. On Origin there is no deco and no lore pages. Also disappointing is the Orc helm was left untouched AND costs 100 points (the most points out of all other items). Sorry Dev team, I think you completely wiffe…
  • Quick update - I was able to find the jewelry box I had (only had 1) using EC. When I removed it and secured it my lockdowns jumped up by 250-300 items. I also removed a couple of BOD books (thought it might be them blowing out my lockdowns but it w…
