Title: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *ended*
Post by: GM NollKoll on June 04, 2014, 07:42:57 AM
Ok, not only you guys had a small drawback during the crash, had to remove the special spawners i did so far.
This time there is no town that is under an attack, its a dungeon. Various gargoyles is slaughtering the unprepared orcs in this dungeon, but just becouse you will arrive and kill off the gargoyles, do not think a second a orc would target you.

This invasion will be located in the orc dungeons in Felucca, so you need a strong group of players to dare venture into the deep mining caves of the Orc Dungeon.

This is how it works:
There are 3 levels of the orc dungeon, the main focus lays on level 2 & 3.
In the second level of the orc dungeon, you will notice alot of different gargoyle's picking off stray orcs etc. (and you ofcourse) There will be a continous spawn of various gargoyles in all the levels.
But! Here comes the fun part:

Level 2 - Apart from the regular gargoyles, there will be white named ones, the Excubitors.
Kill around 8 of these, and you will summon the commander on the third level of this dungeon.

(works kinda like a champ spawn, wished that i could create so you had to kill a random amount of excubitors from a range of 5-10, but i noticed too late that it was not possible if i wouldnt do a complete redo of the whole spawner system >_>)

The excubitors & commander both got "common" and "rare" loot, the common loot is a piece of decoration, and the rare loot will be the weapon elemental damage deeds. The Excubitors will drop the 100% fire/cold/poison/energy deeds (you will quickly understand which excubitors that drops which deed)
And the commander itself will drop the other mixed* elemental deeds (if you are extremly extremly extremly extremly lucky, he can drop all 4 of the mixed elemental deeds at the same time, or a variation of the 4, but chanses are ofc that he will drop only 1, if he drops it at all, that is)
*Cold/poison 50%
Fire/cold 50%
Fire/cold/poison/energy 25%
Fire/Poison 50%

Beware: i also added some flaming skulls, they can ofcourse attack and blow up a orc instead of you, but i thought i would be kind to mention that the orc dungeon level 2 & 3 are occupied with flaming skulls aswell.

Enjoy!

p.s. this will last until Sunday or so, depending on drops.



*old bit of information[outdated, but ill let it stay for fun]*

One of those things again, yea...

But first.. I wont be online that much during later this day and a few days onwards, but should be free again on saturday..
My Mother is coming to visit me (& annoy the living crap outa) due to its my bday tomorrow etc.

On to the fun stuff again, if i get an agreement from mr king kong and the lot of you, i might have the weapon elemental deeds as a super rare/rare loot from some of the monsters/bosses. (the deeds that change the elemental damages on weapons), also some decos, and stuff like that, but the deeds, we will see if ill add or not! (depending on what you all think & what mr king kong thinks)

Post by: GM NollKoll on June 08, 2014, 12:53:21 PM
ok seems that the weapon elemental deeds is a ok sign on those, got clustered today, got some coding done, but i will prob. be done tomorrow (monday).. sorry for the delay, but partly becouse i couldnt see if any players wanted it, then the wait for mr king kong.. I think the elemental deeds could be a neat feature for future large events / invasions... 

For those  that have missed reading about em, they are deeds that change the elemental damage on weapons to a certain fixed amount, there are several deeds that changes to different elements. (example: could change any sort of elemental damage to 25% in fire/cold/energy/poison)
They were first a donation idea, but after they were made, we understood that it might ruin gameplay for non-donators, thus never released to donation house.

Post by: ieshabones on June 13, 2014, 09:46:10 PM
can you tell us what the drop rate on the elemental deeds are?
also how many different deco items are going to drop? I got 4 so far if you count the special colored wep (soul glaive) that drops.  A robe, a surveyor scope (4 different colors), and a strange geode.

The boss drops the elemental deeds at a higher rate, i think at 1% exactly, but do have in mind, that it is 4 deeds at 1%.
The excubitors have 1 deed per element that can drop, and i think i placed it at 0.7%.
Feel free to tell me if anyone got a deed so far, i want em very rare, but i want em dropped, so yea feel free to give feedback, might move this event to the trammel side for a few days aswell, and ban all the red players access ^^.
And that also summurize all the different deco items, there are 4 hues the geode can drop with, same with the scopes. (but not the same color)
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated invasion thread*
Post by: Tyrone Biggums on June 14, 2014, 11:24:51 AM
So far I have 18 robes and Kendra has 6 and we have got 3 geodes and no deeds. Ive done it for 8 hours in the past 2 nights and not even got deco. So yea it's rare.
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated invasion thread*
Post by: GM NollKoll on June 14, 2014, 05:09:32 PM
yea the deco was the geodes and scopes, sorry for being unclear
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated invasion thread*
Post by: Tyrone Biggums on June 14, 2014, 06:09:36 PM
What I meant was the first night we did it for 3 hours and got 3 geodes. The second night I solod it for 3 hours and got nothing. Last night Kendra and I did it for 5 hours and again nothing.

Post by: Christoph on June 14, 2014, 07:27:51 PM
ok, here's my peace on this subject.....

I really think it should be moved to trammel, im really tired of being ganked by "greedy" guilds, and its just not fun when you get the commander up, and your fighting it, and get mob ganked, and any other player who wants to try it has no chance when this happens... it would be all around better in trammel for ALL players

Also, i don't think ANYONE has got a ele deed yet, i've done it quite a bit, even through the ganking, and not got a single one, if you're making this a "short" event you'll need to step up the chance on those dropping slightly, or no one will even get one :)

i was waiting for the first cry post about being pk'd in a fel event....

when i came back after a 2 year break it was the easter event. i wasn't geared up or anything. Grim killed me every chance he could.

I didn't even mention it on the boards. The easter event wasn't transferred to Tram. Jus sayin'

I'm pretty sure you haven't been getting ganked everytime you go down there. And its fel you have to expect to get killed every once in awhile.
And you will still get mob ganked in tram. (those flaming skulls hit super hard)

Besides if any guild actually worked together they wouldn't be getting "ganked" all the time. I've seen plenty of times where people are fighting in fel and the rest of there guild didn't even bother to help. If it was me I would leave that guild and find another who would help.

You're funny, no one's crying, but if your buddy's didnt have your back you wouldn't be saying that, oh also, turn off your spell macros and fight me, because as of now, thats not even pvp, hitting a button and letting it run is easy to do, and having your guildys gank... i was here when "real" pvp was happening............

i was hoping this would get changed for "EVERYONE", not just me, but of course the guilty minded gankers would get on here and post negative about what i said
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated invasion thread*
Post by: GM NollKoll on June 15, 2014, 10:42:35 AM
Chill out everyone!
Changed the droprates to 2% on excubitors and 2.25% on the commander, and that is 2.25% per deed, so 4x2.25%, meanwhiles the excubitor only drops a his type of elemental as a deed at 2%.. Let me know how that works for ya!
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated invasion thread*
Post by: Christoph on June 15, 2014, 09:24:29 PM
alrighty, got a full day to test out the new rates, and still no go sir....
was there literally all day by myself, and still no ele deeds, not even from the excubitors
and for some reason now it don't seem like the geodes are dropping, i still don't have a single one of those
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated invasion thread*
Post by: Ladibug on June 15, 2014, 11:25:33 PM
Got a geode drop tonight. 2nd time in there. Thanks for the event btw, it is pretty fun! I like the suicide skulls. Makes it actually a bit challenging than just having something have high hit points.

Can I make a suggestion about robe rewards? They are really useless. They are basically deco to go on the floor of my house. So it makes no sense that it's a robe. Can we get deco rewards that look like deco? Things we can place in our house? Ex would be a plant, lamp, chair, table, etc. Or if it's a wearable item, maybe have some special ability on it? Things like that make more sense than a robe that's unwearable.

Post by: GM NollKoll on June 16, 2014, 05:16:48 AM
When i move it to trammel, i might add more decos. And quite odd that you still havnt got a drop yet. the boss should have a total chanse of 5% to drop A deed, and there is 8 excubitors per boss, so total of 16% there.. Noone got a deed yet?
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated invasion thread*
Post by: d35tr0y on June 16, 2014, 10:04:23 AM
As far as I no there has yet to be a deed drop I have spent some time down there as well and so far got a geode and 2 scopes all last night other than robes
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated invasion thread*
Post by: Horns Nigel on June 16, 2014, 12:32:28 PM
I got a scope on the third one I killed, Id say thats pretty good odds...Nigel
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated invasion thread*
Post by: Christoph on June 16, 2014, 01:11:34 PM
no, no deeds yet, i was there a straight 8hrs or so yesterday and nothing, got almost 4 sets of scopes, and no geodes....
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated invasion thread*
Post by: d35tr0y on June 16, 2014, 01:57:39 PM
IMO even tho the odds seem slim from what players are saying they ought to stay this rare one it definatly has kept people hunting and two this type of item has potential to change a lot just my 2 pennies tho
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated invasion thread*
Post by: Tyrone Biggums on June 16, 2014, 02:48:42 PM
I suggest if your goin to make it tram cut the drop rate in half and keep the fel side going also
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated invasion thread*
Post by: Johana on June 16, 2014, 07:30:20 PM
i Just tried this spawn out, its cool.  Any way of leaving it going forever? (adjust rare drops as needed).  The orc dungeon just has no reason to visit other wise unless you orc mask mine that is.
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated invasion thread*
Post by: GM NollKoll on June 17, 2014, 08:22:24 AM
i could switch it from tram to fel for a while, then back again.. ill just wait and see how many deeds that drops etc..  And no, i wont actually change the dropchanse in trammel, i got other plans for trammel ^^

Post by: GM NollKoll on June 21, 2014, 02:15:14 PM
the invasion has failed to find what they were looking for, or you have driven it off.. The gargoyle invasion is trying their luck on the trammel side of orc dungeon. Same dropchanses, slightly different rules =P, you will notice!

Will add more decos to it later tonight, or tomorrow.. Pretty beat after midsummer here in sweden, which we the nordic countries celebrate alot more then the rest of you =P

Enjoy!
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated (again) trammel now!*
Post by: GM NollKoll on June 28, 2014, 03:51:59 PM
totally forgot about the new decos, they are in now. The excubitors got 1 new item (2 if you count that it could face 2 ways)
and the boss got 3 new items.
Also increased the chance of deeds slightly.

Got plans on making something simular, but permanent in a place i know is free. So enjoy this invasion as long as it lasts (a few more days due to my forgetfulness about the decos), since it wont be completly simular later ^^

No need to be offensive, the location of the more permanent site will not be trammel rules. And there might only been 1 person on this thread that wanted it in trammel, i got a few pms aswell.

I didn't think I was being offensive. He's rubbing it in that he got his way and then camped it all day yet I'm in the "greedy" guild? So he calls me greedy and an ass and I'm offensive for proving that he whines until he gets his way. Even if the new one is in fel he won't do it cause he got all the deco he wanted. Score one for the trammies.

there are non stop pvp events all day long pvm events should benefit us trammies once and awhile... Some red tried to kill me while it was in fell I just switched weapons and sent my 2 killer pets on him trammie won that one too...

Post by: Tyrone Biggums on June 29, 2014, 10:44:47 AM
If u killed a red like that he shouldn't be red. There is PvM events a few times a day so don't try and say you don't get anything.
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated (again) trammel now!*
Post by: d35tr0y on June 29, 2014, 02:54:33 PM
as well as most of the event's are non pvp so this one at the time being a pvp type of rule set to me was actually neat considering there are not many these days just my thoughts sometimes things should go both ways but for someone to say "I got my way didn't i ***" i mean really? greed eats us all at one time or another but only we can make the difference if it does or not


on a side note noll thanks for the event's has been alot of fun at most of them

He hates the event in Fel...complains. It gets changed to Tram for him....he complains some more. Now he's happy about it? Even gloating? Pathetic.
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated (again) trammel now!*
Post by: Tyrone Biggums on June 29, 2014, 06:16:00 PM
He was gloating because he got to camp it for a full day without anyone bothering him. As soon as I walked in he talked shit and asked why I was there.
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated (again) trammel now!*
Post by: GM NollKoll on July 01, 2014, 11:34:24 AM
been thinking about this during the day. I will add a bit more story into it all.
Will be working on a "journal", that i will rip apart, like the books you can find from some monsters and areas. Will deliver half of the journal to the event in fel, then move back the event to trammel for 2 days or so, then deliver the other half there.
(the books will be unique, so a true collector would probably really want the whole book)

I will personally deliver the books to the monsters, one at a time, when noone is hunting, i will place it in their packs. So next time a player ventures down, they will find a book part in the first monster they find. (I will mention when i will start doing this on the forums). If the place is cramped whole day long, i will find other means to distribute it.

Then after im done with that, i will close down the gargoyle invasion, and there will be a quiet time until i get my monsters scripted, with some help from the keyboard smashing god, i might make a really interesting boss :3 (which will drop the deeds, among other things perhaps.. thinking about powerscrolls that aint dropped by champions etc)

Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated (again) trammel now!*
Post by: Christoph on July 01, 2014, 03:46:38 PM
not too interesting if you don't get loot..... which brings us to the next problem in the event!
got "someone" not saying who, but they want to come in on the boss, and actually "steal" from the boss' pack, while "US" others work to even get the boss to come out, then we kill it and find nothing. i've actually known about this since it was in fel, so i guess others "just" found out about it and decided to actually use it when other players are trying to do whole event...

so, noll, i think you should change it from being a gargoyle, to another form of garg that you cant steal from, or disarm

on another note, got all items from event, not all colors, but still NO deeds :P

does anything at all make you happy?

1. If you knew about it and they where doing it to you, then you knew you could of done it back to them.(makes it even doesn't give anyone an advantage)

2. Fel is non-consensual pvp. ( it says so right in the rules)

3. Only person I see whining about every single thing is you christoph.

4. You are in a guild act like it. The rest of us should not be "punished" because we actually play together and do things as a group. (there are plenty of single player games out there if that's what your looking for)

no see, thats where "you people" are wrong im not giving up on my guild, i have too many strings with them, if thats what YOU look for in guilds thats cool with me, it seems like when any of the other guilds fall, everyone just runs to the biggest ones, and then turn into the most arrogant, big-headed people out there, and i complain because things need FIXED, its what a forum is for, its called FEEDBACK, and i wish others who feel the same way about this, like i do, so they could back me up....

im one of the coolest people on here, but you guys are making me turn to the complete opposite....
its YOU GUYS not me....

Post by: ChickeN on July 01, 2014, 05:57:05 PM
this is plain and simple.. if players are sitting in the bosses cave waiting for players to work to get the boss to spawn, only to Steal from the boss and leave those players who work to spawn it with nothing.. that's just BS.. no crying no fighting needed.. and to say.. "I didn't see anything saying I couldn't do this.." is just dumb on the part of the person using that excuse.. Noll worked a long time on this event, not for players to cheat others out of the loot they work for.. if your not into working for the loot.. rely on your guild mates to give you items.. like they geared you up.. lazy is as lazy does.. and btw to tell someone to go find another game to play.. theres no place for that kinda attitude on Pandora.. we need every player we can get.. even you lazy ones.. I'm sure Kon wouldn't take kindly to people suggesting one of our players go find a single player game to play.. no matter how many of them are out there..
Title: Re: The Invasion of the Orc Dungeon *updated (again) trammel now!*
Post by: Tyrone Biggums on July 01, 2014, 06:03:32 PM
I called you a kid because you act like it. You have done nothing but critize this entire event. I killed you myself a few times so don't cry gank. I'm not guilty minded. I'll admit I stole from him. If it's in the game why not use the ability. That's like saying you have every skill but don't use some of em because u don't like it.  When did you run me off? The night we stole the deco then I logged to watch a movie with Kendra? Yep good job running me off kid.  The point of the screen shot had nothing to do with whining. It was proof you were bragging about getting your way and rubbing it in before you called me an ass.  So yes KID you have no t given any worthwhile suggestions in this thread all you've done was piss and moan till you "got your way". Let's recap. In fel it was to hard cause SOUL killed you. In a fel zone. You cussed me out a few times then it got moved to tram. You cried again because SOUL partied up and tried to prevent anyone from getting a deed. Then on a Saturday during the summer (when some people are outside) you had the ability to run it all day unbothered. I show up with a guild mate (we do things together unlike most guilds on this shard) and the first thing you said to me is "your not running me off" what was the point of even saying that. I was hoping you would attack me honestly but you didn't so we left.

So to be clear your a kid who is mad that I'm in an active guild that does things together so you complain on the boards it's not fair. If you look at  my last post I put sounds intresting and you were quick to comment flaming my post.

P.S. I didn't run to the biggest active guild. I've been in SOUL for years. It just happened a few of us started playing again at the same time. When I came back WSF was the Zerg guild and we wanted to stop them. As it looks now we did.  What needs to be fixed?!? All the SOUL members have played together for years. If not here sometimes on other shards. If u don't like it recruit ppl to your guild. I never said leave OSS. mass recruit like WSF does. Just stop complaining at every single new "problem"

Also stealings ALWAYS been apart of uo. Been stealing since 99. To tell me not to steal is like sayin don't steal from a person cause he worked hard for the item.

I'm jumping back in on this one about stealing from the boss... if your working the lesser's to spawn the boss then steal from it... I got no beef with that.. but for DwayBeDroppn and his Alt IT'S Him to camp the boss only to steal the loot other players worked to get to spawn is just BS, lemme say it again so theres NO mistake.. IT'S BS.. steal anything you want.. just don't camp and only take what players work for.. if that's your only game play for this event.. that's weak as hell

Just so everyone is clear and has the whole story the boss has to be 5k under the halfway mark of hp to even be able to steal. I think his hp is 90k? If it is you can't steal from him till he's at 40k hp so it's not like were running in stealing and leaving. I mean we can hide till he's under half but whatever. Also I consider this the same as when I stole event items off players on other shards because even though they are blessed if they are in a bag you just steal the bag. I'm not defending Dway but yes I do this also. My reasoning is the event was takin from fel so I might as well keep my "red bad guy" rep somehow. I camped the event for days and days and all I got in fel was 3 granites. It got moved to tram an now everyone's gettin cool deco. It woulda been nice if we had that before we got burned out of doing the event but hey whatever it happens. I'll justify my stealing as I've done the event so many times I'm sick of it so yes I'm goin to steal the deco. Is it WEAK? Sure as hell is. So is the fact that awesome deco was added in tram. Ya can't please everyone but Noll tries. Some ppl don't like parts of it but it is what it is.

From the begin noll has been tryin to work the event out.  When it was moved to tram it wasnt instantly awesome.  Took some time to work it out. Ur attitude sucks sir. So what u didnt get shit the first time... why ruin it for everyone? Cause u can? I personally cant remember an event in tram other the ones the gms host...  noll said it wasnt set in stone in tram.. yet u continue..

not too interesting if you don't get loot..... which brings us to the next problem in the event!
got "someone" not saying who, but they want to come in on the boss, and actually "steal" from the boss' pack, while "US" others work to even get the boss to come out, then we kill it and find nothing. i've actually known about this since it was in fel, so i guess others "just" found out about it and decided to actually use it when other players are trying to do whole event...

so, noll, i think you should change it from being a gargoyle, to another form of garg that you cant steal from, or disarm

on another note, got all items from event, not all colors, but still NO deeds :P

If you knew about it from the start, you should have informed me asap. Atleast asked me if this was intentional or not. coding the monsters with all the loot possibilities etc, is quite alot of code. And overseeing that you can steal from a paperdoll monster is something quite easy.

Then we come with tyrones comment

Which could be something sympathic, that you got no deeds from it, and not an insult.
>Dont suspect the worst of players, and we wont see the worst in you.<

The glaive/boomerang wassnt an intentional drop aswell, made it unmovable. Then when i found out it still dropped from the corpse, i checked the code to see it wassnt a mistype. Then i remembered that boomerangs and throwing weapons work in a mysterious way, making them invisible and unmovable for a short period of time when you throw it, to get the "throwing" feeling. Then making them visible and movable again. Can't get everything to work as you want the first time.
But i want you all, to say sorry to each other. This is a competive game, but try compete as gentlemen.

Also since the snooping has been a general knowledge among players, i got a report from a player that found a deed in the backpack, but alas not in the corpse. So i got some good news and bad news.. The good news is that noone has stolen a elemental deed from anyone. The bad news is that they were blessed (i know this will lead to ALOT of rage, and im sorry for that. Nothing i can do now... loottype doesnt show up on the deed as it does on most other items (saying Blessed), so they are secretly blessed (not newbiefied, but blessed).. And as far as i checked, i respawned monsters until i found they had deeds in their packs, but never tried to kill the monster itself, just wanted to see if the loot code works, as i do with all items)..

On another note, ive greatly increased the dropchance of all deeds to make up for this, so going a whole circle aught to give you atleast one deed. I will try finish the journal as  fast as possible, so a possible future is that the event will last for 2-3 days more in trammel, then move to felucca for 2-3 days.

And again with the insult my attitude sucks...

I'm sorry my play style differs from most. You think I'm trying to ruin your game where as that's how I get my enjoyment.

I'm done with my comments on the thread even though this was the mot activity the boards seen in weeks

Sorry to whom I offended

I don't think it was stealing (skill) from the boss that was happening I think it was more of a camp till the boss spawns then kill it and loot the reward, but who cares now. Can we get a mod to put a kibosh on the trolling in this thread pls.  I know it can be done and has been done in the past.  Noll you got the jist of the exploitation here.  May we file it under a lesson learned and trash the posts with hard feelings for a more positive postings.  (idea: maybe collect keys to summon the boss and recall the party away from the campers to a protected zone would work for these types of situations)

Jo I respect the thought.. but you cant kiss and hug away some problems.. if this was never brought up.. and never posted about they'd still be camping and stealing your, mine, and anyones loot that tried to do the event the honest way.. Noll fixed the issue.. problem solved.. be in the event for a few hours tonight had a great time with soul guild.. Great Great Great event.. Thanks so much for all the work Noll.. this didn't happen overnight and you could have stopped adding deco items at the first part of the event.. but he didn't went back then back again adding more content for us greedy dogs... your a beast Noll.. a beast!

Ok, books done.. Spent far too long on these..  Hope those that like story and mystery will enjoy!.. 13 parts, which i will deliver ~half to trammel, via loot from the monsters. One of a kind each book, so be sure to check the loot! i will take my opportunity to place it in the loot when noone is doing the event at that time.

If you got a journal you can spread the joy, but to make it a tad easier, tell me which chapter you got in a pm, say the first 4 words or so, so i know its legit, and ill do a reply here containing all chapters that players wishes to share. Hopefully noone will grief and atleast try sell the books.

And a advice on reading the books, read it a bit more phonetic (just prenounce whats written), add a bit rough and a tiny tiny bit evil to your throat (think gollum).

Ok this will be the journal's post. I will fill in all the chapters players want to share and their name as honorable mentions. (publish it means just that i publish the text, the book itself is theirs to keep. And do not worry, i got the text in a notepad, so just tell me which chapter you got, tell me the first words or 2 so i know its legit and ill post it.)

Ok, the final chapter has been looted, and that ends the invasion, which obviously took longer then planned, but i felt that i had to make up for the countless hours players spent in search of the deeds, and they were infact undroppable due to blessed status (which aint showing on the deeds)
