No new encounter ? No halloween spawn or shard of the dead ? Where's the creativity at, besides revamping the style of already existing artifacts ? The only artifact players wanted style revamped is that horrible Hawkwind's Robe by the way , no one care about the others
Fellowship Coins & Castle Blackthorn related content will be available when we move into the production cycle. Putting on TC1 right now spoils the narrative arc.
Jack o' Lanterns, Skeletons, Trick or Treating will have new items added for October and November, however its not October or November yet so you wouldn't see them on TC1.
The new encounter leverages our ongoing event and introduces a the new soulbinders by adding new value to the High Seas bosses through a variety of updates.
We have no plans to release Shard of the Dead this year.

This claim is not supported by feedback we've received, but appreciate your opinion. Thanks for the feedback!
As for the rest of the mysterious content, alright thanks for clarifying it will be only for the next arc.
I also hope you can appreciate that people have different opinions and motiviations as to why they equip an item. Some do it for utility. Others do it for style. Whatever those motivations, its ok. Our goal with the new equipment was to leverage existing stat combinations that are commonly used and offer new stylistic choices without having to deal with balancing against power-creep and the seemingly endless cycle of better players, harder mobs etc - which we are trying not to fall into. The Hawkwind's Robe is ripe for new stylistic choices (just like Leurocian's Mempo) was so look for that in a future publish. We are also open to suggestions on new equipment styles so long as they fit in the same slot.
Thanks for the feedback!
Shard of the Dead?
is that what you called the zombies in the graveyard?
looking forward to the next publish & all the holiday content.
keep up the good work.
In a perfect world, a lot of people would enjoy seeing something like the Crimson or Mempo able to be turned into other items that take up the same respective slots. Via crafting or some sort of transmog potion?
While we'll probably not get that... this is definitely a step in the right direction in allowing for some diversity.
I know I could place it from shore, but I prefer to place it from a ship.
@Okami - as I've said, they are in fact mysterious!
Okami, I suspect that the mysterious fragments have been fully functional since Pub 105 released to Baja, Izumo, and Origin. I have nothing to support this other than my own gut instinct and a couple random bits.
The development team has always before answered questions as to whether something was active or not, or if they refused to, whatever it was turned out to be active. The fact they won't now leads me to believe mysterious fragments are fully functional, but the dev's don't want to give anything away.
It seems probable some players already know how to use the mysterious fragments, from examining the client or figuring it out in game, but that information has not been shared.
A number of well known voices, who are normally at the top of the heap for this kind of puzzling out how things work and helping other players, have been suspiciously silent.
The devs always keep things like this silent. It is part of a jump through hoops to get something story line.
if you want the game handed to you (to all the people crying about not knowing what to do with the mysterious fragments) then go play farmville....
explore, tinker, play!!
is what a SANDBOX game is all about!

Last years event started with detective work, now we have mysterious fragments, detectives solve mysteries....maybe not so much hoop jumping as puzzles to be solved (or content, depending on what you enjoy in game).
It seems unlikely they allow us to destroy puzzle pieces trying to figure out a puzzle which isn't there yet. If they "turn it on" now, people will feel they have wasted valuable items and time. That would be a sure way to make people unhappy. (Or in the case of UO, more unhappy than usual!)
I was just hoping to pry a direct answer out of Kyronix, as I've used up about 25-30 frags trying to figure out what they do. If there is no purpose to the frags yet, and I (and others) was just wasting my time, and no one on the dev team was even nice enough to tell us to wait, that's not content, that's just being a jerk.
I don't think that's their intention. I think mysterious fragments have be fully usable the whole time. Again, I think someone somewhere has figured it out, but prices are still low, so maybe not?
Mine is not hungry.
Is like those "hungry" coconut crabs on TC.. that eat leather (like goats)
