End game content

Post by Octavius Thorn »

Reading the past few days above about the age old debate on relayers got me to really to think the big question about all of that.. When you get double digits in relayers, what in the world do you do with yourself besides sit pretty afk at town center and there are a few of us who that is all we do??? That, some might say that is a great problem to have, no it isn't.. Granted we are in the minority but something could be done for us.

This shard is a great place for new, casual and mid range.. There is very little if anything for end game, no not referring to vets.. As there are plenty of vets who don't fit into this category. I'm talking 7 or 8 and double digits in relayers..

We have 2 places currently that could use some sprucing up, Wrong and Sgail. Wrong is a perfect candidate to be given some end game stuff as rare 5% drop whatever that may be.. I really thought Spectre Dungeon stood a chance at being a good end game since the tiles were originally grand auction items but instead allowed mid lvl tamer types to farm the heck out of the keys just so they could sell em.. Now taming is another issue all together as I'm not a fan of it being reduced to newb/casual only status as it is currently. But I think some thought could be put in to add to the end came content. An example is OSIs "shadowguard" encounter that is quite well done and very difficult for even well skilled player. Again I think Wrong is the perfect candidate for some endgame content. Something mid ranges could aspire to.

Just to clarify, this NOT a post about "new content" as we have Elysium coming very soon.. This is about endgame

Once your Relayers are all done, you find the best weapons, you collect a whole lot of money, decorate homes, and spend hundreds of millions on items at grand auctions. Then give to the poor I guess? Or hoard billions.

Melkor? really? slated for release when?? All the info we have is for new stuffs with Elysium... Which is coming soon. And largely involves mid range to lower which I love btw. Cant wait for Elysium. But my post was about the few of us on the high end of the spectrum and just involves some upgrades to existing places like Wrong... we need skies the limit not well ur done here u have 8 or so relayers...

Hey I hear you but I don't think you're going to get a better answer than that.

I have a full suit of relayers, my biggest excitement is seeing if the two houses near mine have dropped and waiting to get my 8 year mount in February. Other than that I'm waiting for Touria and Elysium to come.

... this post still holds true for me. I'm greatly disappointed and feel like things are just being mailed in at this point. I have resorted to logging in just to check the vendors and keep my acc. active. this place needs some serious end game love instead the focus just continues to be on mid range to new player.. Where is Elysium??? very disappointing.. Where was a real tailoring update why was it just stuck with a mechanical upgrade? mechanical upgrades are not ok without eye candy to go with them and that is all that was handed out.. i had hope for the bod update... again all mechanical.. so very disappointing across the board.. I had such great early impressions of this place instead it has let me down for the last yr. I hope things turn around.

where i can see your disappointment with all the new changes as they arent the ones you want, you probly havnt even noticed them, since you just log in to keep your account live. the changes that are being made are being done by the person that owns this shard. its his priority, to make them, when and if he chooses.

i am one of those vets you speak of in the first posting and have been around for ahwile, and no i do not have any relayers, but i can hold my own in most places. and i am perfectly fine without them, itll probly be another 3 years before i get one. and i am still enjoying this game and this shard. if you are so dissatisfied with the 'endgame', take off your relayers and start playing again. its alot more enjoyable with the fear of death, as are most things in life. :D

ahh going backwards is not an option, thx for the reply though.. I worked hard to get my relayers.. i spent countless hours at titans hammer chests and doing doom before some of the changes.. the system is set up for that, you know relayers ect.. I have nothing but love for the staff and the work they have put in.. Doesn't change my long term disappointment in keeping me playing everyday... There are plenty of already ingame stuff that can be tweaked for end game (wrong, sgail and others).. I am also not completely thrilled with the "all or nothing" approach to Elysium/Touria as i beta tested a bunch of stuff for Elysium.. I want the best for uoex but my kind seem to be of little value and that shows more and more with every rare little update.

Yeah, I think wrong, despite being awesome, came up a bit short. Mocha originally said the following back in 2011:
+Mocha on Tue Feb 22, 2011 3:53 pm
I'll address some of the issues here, right now what I'm seeing is lots of people attempting to solo/duo the place and while it CAN be done by some of our most advanced players that is not what it was built for, so if your soling just understand that you will die....lots.

Death traps /insta death is very easy to avoid if you pay attention. This place needs some tactics to survive so if you go in there and simple attempt to whirlwind everything your going to die.
Unfortunately Mocha underestimated how potent players with good WW weps and endgame equips are. The main strategy IS to simply whirlwind everything down. Apart from accidentally treading on the green stuff there's nothing very difficult in there. As such I kinda agree with Octavius, the end game stuff becomes routine after a while. That said, I offer no solutions, just observations. I only play part time anyways so I don't mind too much.

Hello :)

Just a serious suggestion as I have seen time and time again many of the vets getting bored and having a vent, I'm not having a moan at ya but rather trying to put foward a positive suggestion to helping find a solution, I will use myself as an example - I have free time on my hands so I used my obsession with plants and created a museum to help educate and show the shards planty content to people who may be interested in this activity, this keeps me very busy and rather poor at times :lool: but it is an ongoing project

Now not suggesting you all go make museums hehe but you may have a specialist skill like weapons, crafting, pets, monsters, decoing etc... why not take that knowledge and do something that will grab the interest in newer younger players and we can help coach and inspire them in one way or another :)

I am happy to help too if you have any ideas so drop a pm any time - *hints - octavious I want to see a great big elven tree platform city or some kind of mega deco project

My feeling is that after years of almost no progress, things have been going forward for the last year or so. I believe the changes are the foundation for the rest of the updates. As for Elysium, I believe +C said that the coding is done and it's basically up to +Nyx but she has been sick and got married March 17th. Sometimes life happens. I guess my point is that in the arch of my time here, seems like things are happening now more than ever. Personally I feel encouraged.

P.S. congrats +V and +N, and get well soon +N

Oh dear... I promised myself I wouldn't debate anything this Sunday.. welp whats that about best laid plans???

This endgame content people chomp at the bit for, how exactly do you tune for a 500-700hp high str high resist to everything high proc return/rebound factor, high regen speed demon of a player bearing down on your endgame content. lets hear the magical solution you have now that can drop in like loading a software update off a floppy disc.

shard when you start to whine about how long stuff takes keep in mind your gear, stat level, play technique, etc etc etc all add up to the shard admins having to invent, reinvent, repurpose and tune to what amounts to statistically a shard minority. so if you were a staff member making such content how does whinging about the length of time an excessively complex thing is taking to gestate help?

Which do you want quality tested content, or hasty lame rubbish? its difficult to have both. As for the mechanical changes over fluff, fluff and content can follow the structural changes of course.. well hurr durr you need the shelf before you can put books on it..

summary calm down and support the people trying to give you new and exciting content, or i will be less polite..

not all of us have the saint like patience of Melkor
