Really like the egg alternative. I do both. When I get to the point where the mouse becomes unpredictable due to the users inability to control it anymore, I head out to collect eggs. Don’t have to worry so much about getting killed collecting eg…

Glad I don’t play on Atlantic my eyes could not take that much action in such a small space. Honestly, can you see what you are doing or do you just rely on automatically targeting. As a mage seems like you would not kill much using direct damage …

Think Great Lakes is about right now when a half dozen or so are playing. Players gang up the bigger paras and do ok on the rest. Played for a short time in the main spawn area and it was pretty exciting. It is much better playable than it was t…

I think personal items a player uses should not be shard bound for those players that can travel from shard to shard. Account bound makes sense for personal equipment as opposed to shard bound. But believe shard bound other items is fine. Not all…

Yes delete it. Know it is suppose to keep players from changing avatars in the heat of battle but don’t know that is that important in pvm. It just delays me from doing vendor search and logging out.
-
Yes, targets my summons too. Invis. breaks the lock.
-
Same thing happens in EC. Never know what or who it will target when the action gets heavy. Getting use to running away from angry pets.
-
Yes, take JackFlashUk’s advice if you play as a tamer. Get a partner. If your partner is a ranged fighter, warrior or a mage, pet holds down the monster and ranged fighter kills it. Very effective combination. Plan how to split drops ahead of t…

I see players with pets that can take on everything in the dungeon. Don’t really think it would be fair to change pets on the fly. Used to do treasure chests, actually still do, have seen some pets solo cache chest and higher chest spawns in less …
-
Goal of these events should be to encourage players to work together to kill higher end monsters so that we can all succeed in getting drops and that the drop means something. I think most of us do that even though we might never see each other ou…

Think the shard must make a big difference. Last night with about five to seven of us on it was pretty playable even with most of the spawn in one place. Players teamed up on the big ones and had plenty of targets from the others for every one. D…

Maybe will give earthquake spamming a try. Will just keep my eyes closed. Thanks.

Mages can play in here if there are enough other players. I can kill most of the stuff in here solo except for the larger paras. On those I usually help other players to kill them. If the para is concentrating on another player or a pet a mage ca…

Seems much more playable tonight. No big mobs at the door. Spawn mostly near the steps downstairs but very playable. Thanks
-
Glad it was not just me. Thought I had killed and helped kill more than enough to get at least a drop. No comparison between this and the Wind event. The Wind event was balanced so players with reasonable skills and willing to make the effort coul…
-
Drop rate seems worse on my shard too. Maybe it’s just me but seems like it is down quite a bit. Only played about an hour so others that play more would know more about the rate than me.
-
Hang around at Destard and help players kill things. If you have a dragon slayer it will come in handy.
-
Some players like to play against other players, some prefer to play against the computer and some are ok playing both. UO learned a long time ago players can choose from various alternatives so UO provided them in game. That dos not say anything …
-
Note I stay mostly on the fringe of the action now so I can keep about half of the screen free from action. If you have a ranged fighter maybe that might help a little.
-
That’s the way earthquake works screen shakes and shakes. I am old and it bothers my eyes and thought processes a fair amount when there is a lot of other movement going on and earthquake is constantly being cast. It makes my visual experience qui…
-
Agree that personal equipment a player uses should be able to travel. Goal is to prevent players farming items on one shard so they can sell it on another.
-
Hate to say it but that’s true. Not everyone has a shard shield.
-
Not sure what you are trying to damage. Don’t use this spell much but usually three of four attack stuff, at least in Tokuno they do. They don’t do much damage and you can’t control them with the mastery so I don’t animate very much. Agree it is …
-
Just a note in the enhanced client two screen resolutions are available. One is full screen and I forgot what the other is. But one is much better than the other. Remember when I was first starting the one was pretty bad. Can’t tell you how to u…

As previously mentioned it is easy activate keyboard macros when you are chatting in the enhanced client. Always try to be aware of where the cursor is when you are chatting. Glad to see I am not the only one that has that problem.
-
Are you sure you want to do that? Putting blessed items in a bag in you back pack can result in their loss if you are killed. The same may be true for insured items. Forgot just how it works but putting blessed and maybe insured items in a bag ca…
-
Area damage spells for the first wave. If you are a mage stand in an open area surrounded by as much as possible and cast earthquake twice and then use lighting strike to mop up any survivors. Find another spot and repeat until the second wave of …
-
Don’t mind shard bound since it’s unlikely I will ever travel to another shard. But I think account bound is too restrictive. The only way to make enough gold to get what you need is to have a vendor selling those hard to get items. Would not min…

Think it will be in Destard and it’s name begins with Fey so dragon and fey slayers should come in handy. Maybe, head there ahead of time to familiarize yourself with the layout and to mark some runes. That’s what I did anyway.
