Atlantic new event just started and this is the BOT situation

King · October 29

I mean, Wow look at this BS

Fenriswolf · October 29

they are mostly BOTs? thats pretty sad or they could be non-treasure hunters waiting for the boss to spawn?

psycho · October 29

Any free lunch online?

I wouldnt call them bots, but even devs must understand its more valuable with players contributing towards acutally spawning a boss than to hang around at bank waiting.

This is Krampus allover again

If reused content please improve it, not just add new rewards.

So if I want to do the new event I have to go sit in Luna in a crowd of 400 people, put my thumb in my butt, and wait for someone to drop a gate when the thing happens? It's like they imagined some big fun collaborative effort but were too dumb to grasp the obvious outcome of their own design.

This can't be what they wanted, yet they're doing it for apparently not the first time.

Tim · October 29

Or you could go do maps
I don't plan on popping gate to anyone but friends unless we need more killers.

Lord_Nythrax · October 29

I don't have a tmapper. I'm so tired of everything in this game being developed by incompetents.

Someone who uses the cords to get there is not just bank sitting and waiting for someone to push the easy button
They are welcome.

So is everyone in Luna once one of them throws a gate.

But hey maybe they won't, people like being greedy. You might get to hog everything to yourself. Screw everyone who didn't roll a tmapper, right?

I was able to play for a bit this morning and enjoyed using my treasure Hunter that I haven’t used in years.

I forgot that it wasn’t fully developed and was grossly unprepared for some of the death robes I received.

it was nice to see a crowd on Great Lakes jump on the Manifestation of Evil. Cool looking “boss”. Going to try and do some more in a few hours.

Cookie · October 29

I do not think these are Bots, I think they are very bored players.
(I'm in that screenshot).

Don't be calling Bots all the time, it gets very boring.

Rhombus · October 29

I have to move my T Hunter off Atlantic tomorrow as my PVM/Event toon can't get looting rights there, kinda crazy.

PlayerSkillFTW · October 30

Yeah, the boss dies within like 20-30 seconds of going vulnerable on Atlantic due to all the bots script targeting and AI spamming. Didn't get looting rights at all. Everything that comes out of the Daemonic Gates is instantly killed by script targeting bots as well, so there's virtually zero chance at getting a Shadow Hound.

On the plus side, i was the first person to do a T-Map on Napa after the Publish (the Town Cryers made no mention whatsoever of the Evil until i completed that Hoard map)...more than 17 hours after the Publish went live on Napa. Can you say "Ghost Shard"? Maybe i can solo spawn the Manifestation of Evil on Napa, and tame all the Shadow Hounds i want then. Otherwise, Shadow Hounds are going to be ultra-rare due to all the script insta targeting bots.

This is so sad.. so freaking sad.. BAN WAVE IS NEEDED ON ATL! Boardsword i'm talking to you.. you have a game to manage.. u pushing us to cheat, script and bots.. this is a shame!

As for the shadow hounds i don't believe they very popular.. i did 2 manifestation and both time I had 1-2 shadow hound following me around (I was avoiding them for tamers)

I was killing the manifestation with mostly tamers on my shard and none would tame them.

PS: i'm serious for the ban wave.. send a GM out there give 3 days ban to those auto aim low skill lazy sucka.. clean the shard.. players will LOVE YOU for it.. (read my signature.. this is what cheater think of your game)
This could a be fun little community event.. only IF...

Fenriswolf · October 30

lots of leeches at Luna now on Europa, spawned the first boss, gave me co -ordinates...wasnt prepared so didnt know wtf it was...missed it. Basically T-hunters making bosses for leeches to kill. Second boss spawned, used the map below to find it, by the time i got there the boss was already dead, no one had bothered killing the portals :-( sad event. Should give people more time to get there

Fenriswolf · October 30

for anyone who cant deal with the dumbass co ordinates like me use this - https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/world/facet-maps/ may at least give you a chance of getting there

Fenriswolf · October 30

heh so finally got to hit a boss, but only because i spawned it where the chest was i was opening. It seems to count when you remove the trap off it and spawns at the location of the T-hunter

King · October 30

I tried for about 2 hours, I give up

By the time the town crier give the location, I enter the coords , few min riding like hell to location. 50% the time, when I get there the Boss is already dead. the other 50% the boss died SO fast, so many bots auto attacking that i got NO looting rights. so I guess we get back to the PAY to WIN or PAY to PLAY. the only way we can get anything in this game it is if we pay the farmer bots, since they get all

Grimbeard · October 30

No one has mentioned not shard bound

Or as a group of non T mappers did last night come along with a T mapper and help with the chest spawn. A fun time was had by all and I only died once.

Bark_At_The_Moon · October 30

The treasure hunter should get the same rewards as any "leech bot" that was gated in.

This promotes community play and rewards the treasure hunter.

Lord_Nythrax · October 30

I'm not going to cry about anything being stolen from tmappers. There's no reason for an entire event centered entirely around one particular niche template in the first place. If you don't like doing all the work just for a bunch of people to run up, maybe these items should have just been put on monsters somewhere.

Also I still have no idea what any of the mobs involved in this event even look like.

They just need to address the older one.. and limit the power creep to bring back theorycrafting with all the BIS heresy.

A lot of Tamers (especially ones that don't frequent the forums) are unaware of how much insane damage a pack can inflict in certain circumstances. The Shadow Hounds are a top tier Pack pet, with only the exploited 1 slot Blood Foxes (no longer possible) exceeding them. Not to mention, most Tamers that are at the Manifestation of Evil, are there with a 5 slot pet, and so can't tame the Shadow Hounds on the spot. They'd have to stable their pet and come back to try.

Yeah, i was thinking that all T-Mappers that contributed to spawning the Boss, should immediately qualify for looting rights, and a chance at a drop (the more points they contributed to spawning, the higher the chance), no matter where they're at. That way the T-Mappers don't even have to go to the boss, they can just keep doing T-Maps and feeding the shard more Manifestations of Evil. Would definitely get more people contributing to T-Mapping then.

Fenriswolf · October 30

ive been at 10+ boss spawns today, only saw 1 Shadowhound and it dropped in seconds

Grimbeard · October 30

This a simple fix make boss on Atlantic only 1000x more powerful with regen problem solved

Thanks to the 3rd party programs and auto attack hostiles they will never stand a chance. Guilds even mass dispell all the EV/RC but it doesn't matter.

@Kyronix - Is it possible to "beef up" the ATL (only) boss; maybe 5x more HP? I wasn't getting any drops with my Tmaper (who helps spawn the boss) even when casting WOD so I started switching to my tamer when the boss gets close...even using a fully trained chiv/AI Cu AND casting WOD with a max SDI suit (almost 1k dmge) isn't getting looting rights.... and this is around now (ie 6:30am) when it's not even close to prime time play. I'm to the point where I'm not even bothering to dig up maps now because I don't think I'll get looting rights so 'why bother?".

Howdy, Stranger!
