Scalis revamp
So I'm hearing Scalis is going to be revamped?
Anyone can tell what the problem with this encounter is? The soul forge too cool? The loot too good? The open groups on sundays having too much fun?
The public net throws on sundays are pretty popular and so are the soul forge and the loot. Or are the devs just changing stuff for the sake of change again? What do they want to improve?
Or is it just a rumor? If not, would be great to have some discussion up front this time, so they dont waste time going back and forth like on the t-maps again.

for Charbydis they are going to provide "additional means of acquiring bait & the Oracle of the Sea, and enhancing the loot drops"
Corgul and Scalis… adding additional items to their loot drops
this next publish is also about anniversary gifts, Halloween content, new rewards for huntmasters challenge.
so I don't really expect them to change Scalis & Corgul too much. Charbydis is currently hard to do cause of the current rate of getting the bait from the fishers quests. so they are giving us better odds of getting them.
not to mention what they want to do with giving us different looks on popular artifacts...
I hope they have a look at the feedback here.
I'd hate to see it come up on a ship!!!
And I agree @Minerva_Foxglove it takes way too many nets to pull it up

Treasure Hunters
Scalis just needs fewer nets. If you can solo it then you deserve what you get.
Corgul needs the encounter easier to get the bait and oracle.
Then if they want to add more drop loot that is fine. We do not need to use the old skills from the beginning. Just remove Camping etc.
Those are two different encounters.
Oops. I I'll change that to Finding Corgul is fine the way it is. Just add new items so more groups will go.
Ill stay away from the Oracle since others don't want that easier.
I dont think the oracle and even the baits should be this hard to get, But instead of giving another way to get them , making fish monger quests even more pointless, I suggest making the trades less cumbersome so we could do more of them would be a better idea. Like improve lobster fishing . Cheaper traps that lasts longer and gives only named lobsters and crabs would help. Shorter the time for the bob-ing a little. Make the other rewards worth something , like atleast working as intended and the baits to actually catch the fish they are ment for. Maybe add something new..like water tiles you can walk on and in different shapes for edges
If they are going to cut Scalis loot down to 6 items per person, I can tell already they should not even start implementing it.
If they are going to limit the number of people to at tops what a party can fit, they should not start implementing it.
If they are going to require being on a ship ...
If they are going to make camping a requirement ...
That's what I mean with up front. Once the revamp is implemented and pushed to TC1, it's only cosmetics but no way to stop the overall thing.
Some posters pointed out that white nets are a pain to aquire. I understand that. Beyond that I don't see much problems with the encounter. I hope they just up the spawn rates on white nets and don't overengineer a dozen of problems into this encouter that never existed.
There is no other freely accessible encounter in UO that draws such a crowd in the open world. Sure, there must be a lot wrong with it.
If this thread makes them reconsider at least one of their ideas before implementing it, I call it a success.
