[And as far as I know Peerless have been fixed already]

A few weeks ago I was in Bedlam and it was already spawned.

Edit:

And as far as I know Peerless have been fixed already.

Fixed what? I'm freshly new here, so just started to learn this server mechanics.

There was a bug and now it's gone... lol

But there still is a problem. Some people can't defeat their summoned Peerless and leave the place with a trick. So mob stays spawned and new people can't start...

Yep, same here.

It is right: You have to decide (now more than ever) which prop is needed for your own special style and needs. But it is also right that besides LMC (you can find it on a lot of runic armors, yes) there are more props needed. I'm not talking about relic stuff. Relics are easy to get (from Champs who have not been boosted into infinity and other sources or vendors). I am talking about unique materials - and they are a pain to collect now. I've talked to new players who really don't see any perspective in getting their armor done in the next months.

I am in the lucky position to be able to provide new guildies with Imbuing and all mats to do jewels. I was in the position to also imbue their armor, specialized on priorities. We bought runic armor with max LMC and good or max LRC (to save up fairy dust). Now this position is gone because at the moment it seems not so possible to get these mats in a way you can say it will be done in "the next weeks". I can't find any Vendor who is selling seeds of renewal or fairy dust. And that's because there is no more hunting, it seems. Or: Everyone has to hunt for himself and bunkers mats (I understand this completely). Or: Drop rate is too slow atm:
If you kill (mathematically, in theory) 200 Korpres to get 2 to 6 void orbs (if you're lucky, and depending on group size), this isn't funny. You start asking yourself why you shouldn't buy these things instead. But there is no source to buy from. Last week I started asking in trade channel for those mats - no one had. Vendors don't have.

That's why I say:
Please let's have a look at the coming developments on "imbue market". And please turn up drop rate a little bit if it turns out badly.

I have faith in Kon, no question. I am just a little worried - not for myself. I understand the necessarity of a functioning economy, no question. And I really see those points in Kon's measures to force this. I only think it's too hard atm. Not concerning the strength of mobs, spawns, mini champs - with strategy everything can be done. But concerning the time frame...

We have to see where this might end. We (guild) and also I myself don't go hunting at the moment, because it really leads to nothing more than a small amount of mats if we're lucky. We bought a lot of them now, but it seems that Luna vendors are almost done with mats now.

This is not to complain. But I really hope the drop rate could speed up just a little bit, at least to have a perspective.

Well i wasn't exactly sure. But why should it be a problem? Most "mage weapon" items are crap, i wouldn't imbue them at all.

I don't miss "Mage Weapon" or "Add Skill" because it has no use on Pandora. You can skill everything you like so why add options with no effect at all. "Mage Weapon" is a disadvantage here, so let's be happy that there is an option to remove this property with runes.^^

If a +skill is on an item it does not count as weight or property. So if u want to imbue a jewel with + 5 Healing (before imbuing) don't worry.

Imbuing was and is a high (if not THE most) important thing on Pandora. I can see the point why the drop rate has been lowered to force group hunting. That's why the mini champ spawns and champs themselves are now harder to fight. I also do see the reasons in terms of economy.
I think the most obvious reason is to avoid new players having fully imbued items after a few days or one week.
It's right: You can buy mats from other players. It's right: You can hunt in groups and speed up the drop rate. Everything is okay.

But I really think that no one can say now if this new system works perfectly or not. It's too early to see this. I myself will hunt for mats like I did before, together with my guild people. If a material drops too slow we will collect gold for the guild and buy mats in Luna or trade channel. There is always one player who has the required materials.
It's frustrating, yes. But it's also a challenge we have to take now. Materials indeed drop not really fast and I had my moments too, where I said: "Crap, let's stop hunting and spend money on this!"
Maybe it's too hard to get the mats now, maybe the market will collapse because most people will buy their stuff now and no one goes hunting again. This is the long term thing: If there still are people who hunt fanatically materials there is a place to trade. If not, the drop rate has to be boosted again - just a little.^^

There are materials like fairy dust or seeds of renewal which are very important to imbue armor. And these materials are hard to get now (low drop rate, buffed fairies) but the creatures spawn now everywhere in Ter Mur - there are better chances to find them.
It's a controversity, yes, but we have to deal with it!

Try pet and range weapon. Frost Orc is a nasty coin mob, indeed... Better to do it with two people / two pets (but it does work with one guy one pet).

Really? oO

Okay, then better take Kon's advice and cast whatever works...  :lol:

I found some screenies and infos about battle chess in UO. Sounds like a really cool thing for events.
I already have a vision: "Battle Chess Insula, 5 more needed." ^^

Global chat actually is not standard. It's a script created by Knives from the RUNUO community and is custom and not included in any UO engine.

IRC is coming, will be a ton better than the global chat was, will be a window right off the website you can just keep on your screen. And yes you can connect it to UO, many many things we will do with IRC.

I hate WoW too

@Standard:
Yes, I know. What I wanted to say was that it's somehow standard for a freeshard, in my personal opinion.^^ (At least on a shard with 100+ players online.)

@IRC:
I am very excited to hear this.
Maybe that window could pop up as a gump?

@WoW:
You're my man.^^

Nether even fails with nearly 100.0.

To gain skillpoints cast Cleansing Winds up to 80. You have to be wounded.
80 to 95: Hail Storm
95 to 100+: Nether Cyclone

Should work.

I think this isn't a script. It's a "live chess game" with players representing chess pieces, right?

(I found something, message @Kon)

Is there an IRC channel now?

@Worldchat:

I liked worldchat, it made it much easier to communicate, to trade or "only" to know that you're not alone. Well, something of feelings...
If it's not up to date it sounds like a wise decision to work on it - because I am sure that a big freeshard like Pandora needs it. It is standard.

I've got no big wishes concerning a new world chat. I need to type and to read people's thoughts, offers and whatever. I don't need a battlechat or something else. Just a system which can help us all to find each other, sometimes to trade or simply ask gameplay questions.
I think if world chat would become something like in WoW it also could eat up resources or can get a little annoying (--> *hates WoW*).

There is also an option to connect IRC with UO. You could type and read in IRC AND simultaneously ingame.
