I was watching some duels the other day and there were players dying in certain duel boxes because they would run out of regs and since there was no Reg Stone near the duel box, they happened to die because lack of regs. I think that we should have Reg Stones placed in several parts of the Duel Stones so that every box should be able to purchase while they are inside a duel. Just an Idea.
Since when was being prepared not part of dueling? If someone isn't prepared they deserve to die and if two people are fully prepared and evenly matched, the one who is more reserved and cautious with their supplies should be the victor.
Also, as I stated in another topic, I am not fond of the idea that you can simply resupply in a safe area. Having to leave to restock may in turn cause some action and fun for more players. Duel stones really shouldn't be the place where you can hang out all day until you log off. That's the type of thing that makes the shard seem dead and boring, too many people not out in the actual world. Things like that make players get used to not losing their gear, even when they lose and end up never fighting where they could actually lose their belongings.
Quote:3) Deathmatch: I suggest that now since the shard is up and there are quite a few players, I am still seeing a major problem that I have ALWAYS seen with UO and that is the lack of activity and interaction at this specific time of the day. There is never anything going on. I was thinking maybe since we have no staff at these hours, maybe that automatic DM GAte would encourage players to stay active and maybe a Monster Bash just so that the players could entertain themselves without a Staffmember having to be online as well.
I'm all for automated events but we can't have too many of them honestly. There needs to be times of the day where you players can entertain yourselves. As it stands now we probably have more events then any shard in existence, sometimes as many as 15 a day. It wouldn't hurt to have some mini monster bash hit ocllo or the bridge every few days but if you guys can't handle the tomb of kings Eru made, I don't see that going over well either.
Running a DM every 6 hours automatically would be fine I suppose. I used to have a spawner that did this awhile back and it could be brought back.
Seriously though I don't like that players are so dependent on us for fun... It's almost as if its a kick to the ass because it makes it seem like the shard sucks unless staff is there holding your hand while you play.
