Insted Of TC1
Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2007 12:40 am
Okay this is going to be a kind of long post but i mean it could lead to pretty good innovative things that could bring our server to life and possibly attract more players than we need. But than again this is all just throwing it in the air and things that could happen or might.
Okay i think we should seriouslly all consider ridding of a public test center for player use. It's great and a i know a lot of people use it but its not like were on all day long and it's something we have to have to play this shard because we normally just try n find a bug or something which is helpful to the staff but finding them in game works the same way lol and they also can test it at anytime because they have private test centers. Heres my idea for this thread. Recentlly ive been playing a shard called Supremacy 25.. previouslly known as Legacy 25 which went up for a few months but than left because the owner had stuff to deal with blah blah my point is that could literally happen again at anytime but the way he is running this server is so good its crazy i mean everything is like perfect as far as how to run a fel based server and if you guys take the time to read this i think we can make this possible. Nothing on RUNUO is like patent to where it says omg ONLY valor can have this because they thought of it and ONLY Demise can have TOT's because they are runuo Sponsered! Only they can make a pvp arena thats 10x10 so with that said heres my ideas for a second server insted of TC1.
Okay their server is set up to where you start at Ocllo which is Haven. Ocllo is a safe town not even factions can attack each other its all region controlled to where u cant do certin things like heal other people including your pets its that strict as to who can do what.. On the out skirts of the town Orcs , just regular orcs no captians or anything like that spawn. The orcs consist of armor that is 17% LRC per piece and Cursed each piece has a total of 15 resist and when you wear it , it gives you 30 resist in each catagorey. So basically it gives you 100 lrc but no resist to work with but perfect for a newb cuz you can train your skills right there in town. They also drop cursed training weps with self repair 4 on them and a cursed staff with -29 mage wep and spell channel for training. And finally a 1/2 ring and 1/2 bracelet making you 2/5 the cap is 2/5.9999 for balance they say.
So thats what the town is like and its a good set up because its the main area everyone goes to its a fel only shard but it was renamed to the town of Haven because thats where new players can go and vets any reds can walk around in town of coarse.
Now how to aquire arties and such on a fel only shard?
Well this is where i got the idea for the champ arties on our shard.
All gauntlet arties and doom arties have a chance to spawn in a locked gray box on the champion of which the person who gets it must Unlock the box for it cannnot be moved and they must grab the artifact. The artifact than becomes cursed for 3 minutes and the carrier becomes a criminal for just normal criminal duration time as if they healed a red or something. And over your head everytime you pick up the arty in its cursed duration it will say * Nosferatu has picked up a Beserkers Maul * letting everyone know who got it so right there its a massive promotion to pvp. Theres only champ spawns in the normal dungeons and a Faction Only champ spawn in the Orc caves which spawns a random champion. So factions is HUGE on that server .. when you die you only get stat loss for 5 minutes so your able to get back in the fight in a short time. Also the faction that holds the most towns gets a faction bonus when killing spawns which adds damage to the faction that has the bonus when killing champs and spawn.
So were all set on how to get artifacts.
So now you may be asking well what about tokuno dyes and shit like that?
Well this is a Publish 25 server hence its name. Everything from Publish 25 and below is in affect so the old guild system and everything its used on the client from UO GOLD if you download it from fileplanet youll know which one im talking about.. it was a great publish. So no tokuno dyes but theres a black rock event going on where u can mine up black rock randomly from any spot which u give to a quest qiver which gives u a chance at like pigments of ore colors which u can dye metal or leather with which is cool.
So no paragons or minor arties?
Not so fast the addition of paragons are definatlly here!
Paragons spawn eveywhere but in main dungeons they have spawns like ancient lichs and lich lords and elder gazers in random places in fel where you can hunt but only 2 ancient lich spawns making them highly desireable so when someone farming em an un expected pk knowing theres only 2 spots may very well come and ruin your fun :>
A few items added to the paragon list were lucky necklace, and ember legs.
All the monsters are on instant respawn basically so you can camp the area and wait for your monster and the loot packs are great not too uber not too bad.
So what about bods i mean it will take forever getting kits and hammers and stuff like that its still not worth it to make that kind of server right?
Wrong!
This is another part of their server which i thought was amazing!!
Barbed Kits, Val Hammers, BeardDye, Hair Dye, All the Dye Tubs, Crafting Skill Powerscrolls (120) Reward Robes, Reward Cloaks, Ethereals, Clothing Bless Deeds, Hooded Shroud of Shadows, Bags of Sending, and Powders of Translocation (10 in a bunch per) all spawn in Shame dungeon in what they call risk vs reward.
Impalers, Shadow Knights, Fleshys, and Bone Deamons are spawns all trhoughout shame on an almost instant respawn making camping a spot possible.
Out of those bosses i just mentioned the high end items like kits, hammers, shroud, cbd, dyes, tubs, and 120 craft ps's all spawn in the corpse on a 1/10 chance everything but the shroud are cursed and the crafting items such as kits and hammers have 10 uses for val and barbed.
Evil mages spawned throught the dungeon have a chance of spawning ethereals, vet cloaks and robes, sending bags and powders. Also wands with spells such as weaken, feeble, heal, stuff like that.
So champ spawns thats just a waste of scrolls i mean itll be like valor anyway.
Not exactlly true, theres not virtues on this shard, no protection, no valor its just a 15 min spawn on every champ when you finish it. And they have made the great idea of a power scroll leveling system.
Quoted from the admin "If my skill cap is 100 for resist in order to progress i would have to use 110 resist followed by 115 and then 120. I would not be able to go from 100 to 120 with one powerscroll it was designed this way for econemy purposes and you have to spend more time working towards your ideal skills."
Which is a great idea there are no 105's to waste time so u need essentially a 110 eval 115 eval and 120 eval and have to eat them all to get to be 120 eval so you cant just eat the 120 and ditch the rest.
Only 6 scrolls per champ makes it hard to come by!
So the caps are good? Or are they insane? =[
Well take a look for yourself the pvp is very very balanced!
FC2/FCR6 Mage *Balanced at FC2/FCR5.9999*
FC3 Chivalry Cap.
SDI Item Cap is 15.
DMI 100.
LMC 30.
DCI 45.
HCI 45.
LRC 100.
Mana Regen 12.
HP Regen 12.
Stam Regen 12.
Str,Dex,Int, Max Cap 150.
Total Skill Cap 720.
Swing Speed = 1.25
Enhance Potions = 40
Reflect Phys = 100
Dex Based Healing Cap = 4 seconds / 150 Dex
Luck Cap = 1000
Features:
Pets Bonding time is 1 Day.
Faction Stat Loss is 5 minutes.
Implemented power hour gains, no anti macros code.
Felucca only no Trammel, Luna, Malas, T2A, Tokuno.
Haven will act as a trammel town also to the north of Haven Bank there are training dummies and archery buttes.
Artifacts acquired from champ bosses are cursed and will remain cursed till the three minutes has expired.
Faction System including a Top 20 Facton Player Leader Board.
Improved Loot and Luck System.
This is an all fel facet so it wont have as many mobs and stuf to lag it down with it will be a totally seperate shard and give AOV a true opportunity to have 2 faces attracting players of all genre it could be a work in progress.
Supremacy did a good job with their shard and im not trying to promote it.
I may have used them as an example but think back to UOG days.
How many shards had supply rooms? Hue Rooms? 4/6 Pvp? Everything was like the same and everyone played them all.
This is a chance to get all these players that rapidly join eye candy shards to join either one and when they play one they play the other on defiance i played the t2a, the aos, and the pre uor.
Like i said it could just be a work in progress kind of thing, not everyone likes ML , SE, all that but than again some do that just havnt seen our primier shard i really really think this would be a good idea and we dont have to copy everything it could be new differnt ideas but this shard is the cream of the crop of pvp pretty much right now TONS and TONS of people are quitting demise and moving to it and wanting to trade demise stuff for supremacy stuff i mean if we make a move for something like this the ppl that start to hate supremacy and find bugs on there we could promote them to come to our version of a shard like it and whatever bugs they have we could fix because our staff is so fucking excellent at it.
And if you say you dont want to copy or make a shard look bad or make us look bad.. everything we base our shard off of honestlly is directed at demise trying to prove were better than them so literally this shard will be LOW matinence one simple facet and will attract a variety of people.
I really hope this thread is considered i can help do it if you dont have the time or you can hire who you think would be good for the job.. give this a chance even if its a host issue ill play it people will play.
I really feel like this is a good idea.
