UOG: Demise

Could just do a player run event where there is a buy in and the winner gets it all? I know lots of people on this server are paranoid and untrustworthy so itd be hard to take cash from others and let them hold onto it. But if it worked properly and people werent trolling, it would be interesting.

Player run events are fun and all but you can't match the power of actual scripted events. You also can't just screw people over in them.

Yep! Thats why its rarely done sadly. People dont play fair 100% of the time, so its hard to host a player event. Heck I found a major flaw in an old event I did just recently, not its discouraging me from even trying it again because I know someone will take advantage of it just to get ahead.

Say, 1kk for a 500k payoyut.

Could be an interesting method for making events more frequent and also reducing gold in circulation.

Make it like a poker tournament. EX:

100k entry+10k gold sink fee. Payouts to top 3 if theres at least 10, top 2 if 5-9 players and top 1 for 5 or less participants. For example, with 10 players: 1kk prizepool goes 1st-500k, 2nd-300k, 3rd-200k with 100k in fees in the gold sink.

I agree with yah because demise isnt only an pvp shard seriously i would prefer gm put better loot pack in all dongeon....why an balron paragorn or succubus skeletton dragon paragorn and missing droping nothing good if you compare to an afk farmable miasma or coil or ....
I Vote for loot boossttter that my type of automatized event!!!

I agree with Will here.

The only "Boost" we need is boosted loot.

I farm up to 30hours a week sometimes and never see a decent item.


That would also boost the economy with people constantly spending gold on other things besides runic kits/artifacts.

Loot does definetely need a bump. I'd even PvM again after about 5 years not doing it.

But the pay-per-event thing would be very nice as well.

Loot boost would be a great idea

That’s a stupid fucking idea. Don’t give automated bots better items. Archer jewels are already insane, they don’t need to be more insane. Loot is fine, be patient, it’s not like any of you fucks actually farm.

#afk scripting isn’t playing the game

<----- attends his scripts

Would be lovely to get this, but the automated looters are killing the server, and there is almost no way to get rid of them. Only way I can think about it, the staff need to be more harsh when checking people, people get away with their scripts way to easily.

as for the automated events, pretty sure it could be done, it would just be basic events though.

negotiate features on steam and break the commands people are using. This won't get rid of 100% of scripter pvming bc runuo exists and there are work arounds but it will substantially decrease the amount of afk farming.

I mean I'm not asking for a loot bump in line with pest but loot should definitely get bumped. I attended my sampire at lich's when i first started and looted 300kk in gold and didn't get a single usable jewel in that entire time.

That's roughly 176,000 kills without a single decent item with 1100 luck suit and 400-600 extra luck from honor.

You going to tell me you want to sit there and manually click to kill 176,000 monsters manually loot each corpse manually send each stack of gold?

No you don't which is why you probably don't farm at all.

Don't make every piece 5 mod 100% intensity like pest was but a slight loot bump should seriously be looked into.

It's really not that hard, I did it on pest. Also, I do spawns for money primarily if I'm low on funds. I do not farm though you're correct, don't really need anything.

Also, I highly doubt you didn't get a useful jewel. I used to farm poison elementals with 600 luck and about 7-800 luck from honor for a lot less time and I got a few decent jewels.
I farmed miasmas and got a di hci dci ep brace once too (low intensity on ep or di, cant remember).
But i think the farm is fine. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Doing it on pest and doing it on here are 2 different things. On here the loot is so horrible you have to kill over 200,000 high end mobs and still wont loot a single item worth looting. On pest where everything was 5 mod 100% intensity you can loot perfect jewels manually farming in a few days.

On pest 1 the loot was actually 5 mod 85% intensity max very consistent. On pest 2 they made it so it was actually more random but they made it so you could get 5 mod 100% intensity which wasn't possible on pest 1 it capped out at 85% which is why so many people had 13 hci 13 dci 22 di 20-25 ep jewels. some even had perfect 5th mod stats. On a server with less farmer and only being up 1 year that goes to show how easy it was to get gear there.

Fyi the same 4 mod jewel i just listed sells for 400-500kk here was a common drop on pest.
