SHOULD EVENTS BE REMOVED OR LIMITED

[Bong Hit]

I have heard alot about era accuracy and the events but i think noone can argue that osi did everything they could to make the experience fun new and exiting. No there where not events like we see with ctf because if there was the whole damn server would crash can you imagine 1000 people showing up for one of those things??????
A logistical nightmare we dont need to think of this as taking away from field pvp but as to adding to the pvp and types of pvp i know i bashed tg with my last comment but the fact of the matter is people do not forgo field pvp in order to prepare for a ctf or dd. There are alot of 1v1 and 2v2 3v3 4v4 tourneys in a row but come on none these fights would ever happen in field it gives us more oportunity to fight with and along side people we normaly might not get a chance to.
Thats like saying server wars takes away from the last hour of pvp time on the server cause everyone is geared up waiting to test out shit the normaly would not apreciate to die with.
Now back to why tg members dont like this its because they cannot manipulate them the way they do with all their other fights.
If you all wanna bitch about era acc theres plenty of shit that didnt go on back in the day.
AND THANK GOD! or derrick as we come to know him on uosa

This is untrue.

OK matron lets take all things into consideration for a moment;
Why am i afraid to die and lose my shit before a ctf or dd or free use tourney all i need is 1 of each reg pot and baid.
Now maybe there is less people for the 15 minutes of event time but whats all that wrong with that i think alot of farmers love it when they know the pks are busy.
The original comment why this was posted was because it was ruining field pvp i think the biggest complaint about field pvp is;
WHAT FIELD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT DESTARD? BRIT GY? WRONG? A SPAWN LOCATION?
The fact is noone goes to the same place to fight all the time thats what makes this game great its unpredictable. This is also what is great about the events it provides contrast to natural occurences like order vs chaos and adds a random twist to it allowing you to play with some of those big name guys you only get to see while ur wearing a hooded robe with a grey screen.
I remember the first time i got to play with the big fellah known as matron de winter! Why i was just tickled and it cemented my place in uosa! Even though we lost cause chumbucket and guardian knight had to keep blocking her in a corner with boxes faster than the big felllah could pick em up! o a terrible defeat for the big guy it was, try as i might i was no help for madam of winter and perished he/she did over and over, o the humanity but i still hold on to this memory and cherish it as the day i was able to fight along side of the person i usually just say HI THERE BIG GUY as i fall over.

RIP comes out maybe once a week at best.

We are not "PVP'ers" in most cases. we are STATLOSS Pk's. we kill blue farmers for fun and enjoyment and keep the economy in balance. RIP has never stated we are anything elce.

So when my PK dies from TG Gank squads you are right.. we are only going to field together once a week becuase half the time any number of us are dead.

at this point i'm going to side with the removal of events. what do I care about events, Tamers are not a "Pvp template" apparently.

Who knew!?

Derrick did something similar to this before and it basically destroyed the "casual" playerbase. Leave events as they are and pk bucs after if ur so upset.

No one is forcing you to go to the events. The problem you're seeing is no one wants to fight pussies like TG that do nothing but run off screen and hide behind archer bots.

You wanna talk about archer bots there luca? You can't even use them effectively. Does anyone on the server know that you have archer bots? I bet not. The reason you hate ours is cause you get worked by them good and proper. Seven of yours failed to kill George and Denis and you still lost one. Get real noob, you use the same tactics as us, it's just you ain't good enough to win.

Instead of hunting down two murderers. You, felix and matron pulled out archers. Now if you call us lame for using archers then i don't what you are.

^^ what did that last post have to do with this topic...^^ dont ruin the thread (staff should kill all archer bots!)

Personally i don't like 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 tourneys and when there are 3-5 of them in a row it makes the whole server die for a few hours. I agree with matron, it makes me just want to log off.

I do like the CTF's tho and other games like it, but for me most of the CTF's are scheduled at times that i rarely play... which makes me wonder how many people are actually active at these hours.

So IMO i think that the tourneys should be limited.

Casual player base, yeah? Like who Choppa and Spanky? Comon man, this server has never relied on players who slag off the game and jump ship whenever the server gets hot or cold. It's people like them that pose a miss representation on actual player base.

Now that these events are non-free use, it has filtered out those who don't play here on a regular basis. This "Casual Player Base" that you represent means nothing. Grab your “Causal Player Base” and go duel on test if you want to prove you are the better ebolter. This server doesn't need you and never has.

Why don't you ask Derrick to bring back the Jeholm Duel Pit system? Maybe that will bring cause to the "Casual Player Base" to play more frequently. Perhaps then some of us will be able to roll the “Casual Player Base", cause how it stands now, guilds like ours can barely get our hands on you meely low life crotch peasants while organized duels are scheduled.

The problem we see with events is a gold mine waiting to be assaulted. Groups of people standing around, mostly AFK half the time. The opportunities to stage an attack there are endless, yet you’re all safe from sinister guilds like ours.
What does this remind you of? It’s a seven letter word that begins with the letter T and ends with the letter L. Figure it out. We aren’t the only guild drooling at the mouth waiting to attack an organized event.

Oh but wait, you’re defense is we are “Casual Players” What does a casual player really mean, Pro? Does it mean someone who plays for a specific purpose? Like duels? Why? Cause they don’t agree with the mechanics of field PvP? Please explain.

From how I see it Pro, you're just waiting for another server to open that caters to your generic PvP method. ‘The Ultimate Sync’ isn’t that the name of your fantasy server?

You’re on standby and you have been for sometime now. Your guild status shows this in many ways:

What happened to –F-? Right it turned into MyM. But what happened to MyM? It merged with Cr3w and ‘toss-about-slags’ from T-B like Vanette. And yet you ally KA for whatever reason.

The fact of it is clear; you have lost the true meaning of your identity and you’re fed up with the PvP mechanics of this shard. And so are your “Casual Player Base” buddies. Until you wake up and realize this, you will still be as ignorant as the day you came here.

Good fights, you faceless bastard.

Choosing to fight TG is erroneous. The fact is we rarely even see but a very small population of pvpers. For instance your guild Luca, does not regularly field, guild fight, or chaos/order fight. RIP comes out maybe once a week at best. Im talking about going out and making pvp rounds and running into others doing the same on a regular basis.

Luca's right, no one wants to fight TG, if you're outnumbered then you run, you guys have always been this way. Even when it's even you guys mana dump and then run back to your "drop spots".

Events have created a form of pvp that most tank mages and fearful players have now come to enjoy far greater than normal field pvp, which is the entire concept of UO in the first place. Instead of logging on and engaging in random pvp, people now look forward to preset, FAKE, pvp with no risk involved. Similar to wow arenas and/or duels, the pvp is set up with little to no random events taking away from what field pvp is, adapting to the situation at hand.

My opinion is to remove or limit events so people will log on and enjoy the game the way it was supposed to be played instead of logging on for events then waiting for the next one to start. So many times have we seen zero people fielding, yet an event will open up and 50 "pvpers" magically show up. By removing or limiting events people will actually be forced to go out and pvp or set up networks of fighting.

I understand by removing or limiting events, a new way to supply trophies to the shard population is needed. I suggest this be done by random monster attacks on towns, which will create pvp in itself.

I was just talking to another player about this and completely agree with you.

I think that events should be special and there should be far fewer of them.

I don't remember seeing any quests or "raids" during T2A. The quests I've done on here lately have all been (no offense to whoever put them together) extremely boring and were basically 200 trophy giveaways to whoever exploited them the most. The quests that were on here a year or so ago were genuinely fun and exciting. Especially the necromancer/Nu'jelm GY quest and the miner quest, which, sadly, are no longer on here. I was really dissapointed by the scavenger hunt and the fact that it turned out the same way the server birth rare giveaway and CUB did (whoever was on the first few days exploited the shit out of it and made millions, everyone else got jack).

miner quest is still active that miner is still on that mountain lookin for help

[BlackFoot]

i can speak for myself and about 10 maybe of my guild mates (i can only guess this translates to more players who play the way we do) when i say if you remove events we arent going to go start field pvping.
We play events for fun when they happen but they aren't taking us away from any fielding.

Wrong, If I archer-botted you, it would work. This matron your talking about is not me.

[marmalade]

i can see the argument, but i think events are relatively good in that they build confidence for people who wouldn't ordinarily fight for fear of losing loot. if it was true that no events = more field fighting then i would be 100% in agreement of stopping them, but i dont think it is unfortunately.

either way, i dont really care. i get my pvp fix whether events are hosted or not most of the time. people can whine at tg because they run all over the place, use archer bots or are fucking pussies and are too scared to die, but to be frank, all of that makes it slightly more challenging and at least they fight.
