no one is stopping you from running in seeing the champ spawn is up and alerting your guild, but now you can't have someone hide there till it does and do the same alert.. so it shouldn't be this big a deal

because i see other solution like balancing the skulls, why only one skull is hard to get, other are like garbage for me

It's the only shard, game where i saw a critically area to camp and not because of champer camper, but because you can be put in jail camping around afk, yeah afk the devil abbreviation!

and i know i will have lot of opposition for the skull decay timer, because lot of mid-veteran player think they can show their ego supremacy in possessing one, two or eight of this skulll... what is wrong with sharing, that don't destroy your ego. That's only make you a better person for a better world...

it really shouldn't affect you how many of something someone has or doesn't have the decay wouldn't accomplish much...

what you might have missed from alejandros assertion is this

he has 6 skulls from participating in 20 of the last 25 oaks spawns.. that means 14 of them went to other people

I know you weren't suggesting it was corruption, but the fact that he has 6 skulls, well maybe he will gather a harrower party one day the thing about those is with people's different timezones etc and work schedules, lives outside of uo it can be difficult to gather an appropriate harrower party without a lot of pre planning, so adding a decay to said champ skull would in fact be punative on many levels, when the reason you are asserting mostly is "because Alex has 6 that he hasn't used yet"

This has been discussed before, it would need to be a 2 week minimum on the decay timer...

The problem, yoda, with him having 6 skulls is that there are players who actually need stat scrolls and can't get them because they can't get the skull because the same people do every week, like him and dramoor, who just put them in the bank.

If they had a decay, then there is no point in doing oaks to just put the skulls in the bank for them to decay 2 weeks later, so maybe they wouldnt bother, and others would have a shot at the skull.

People would still do them and just let the skulls decay in their bank. Either that or they would get the skull, and the same people who had the champ on lock would get all of the stat scrolls, thus giving them control over the market and allowing them to raise the prices however they see fit.

I don't see where the issue is with the campers unless you want to do exactly what they were designed to prevent. They save you running all the way up to check the spawn.

Quit being lazy and complaining. I check the thing all the time and at most get hit by one arrow before I teleport away. The GMs don't want it camped so they made it so no one can do it. The campers only hit for 175 or so damage, if you can't take that then you can't do the champ anyways.

As for the skulls decaying that's some of the dumbest stuff I have ever heard. If they decay then guess what, Alejandro will do all of them and keep the stat scrolls in his bank to sell at his own leisure. As for getting the stat scrolls, you are selling some right now, Aryanna. If someone says they are buying in global I have a box with about 35 of them in that I sell. Alejandro sells, Dramoor sells and the list goes on and on.

The fix may not be perfect, but it sure keeps people from standing there afk at the champ. I've never camped it because I'd rather play the game, but everytime I'd run to check it and hit track there was about 4 different people always standing there, now there is no one. Sounds like what they did worked like a charm.

I hope there are some business majors on the shard. People that do lord oaks are typically mid level to vet players and the occasional newer player. Have you guys seen the price of the stat scrolls?!?! You can make much more gold by hunting and farming other areas than waiting seven days for lord oaks to spawn and have a 10% chance to receive the skull. That's just one.

the reason why I have so many is because I dont do them alone and need to find a time that is suitable for everyone. We are grown adults with a real life and sometimes its just hard to find a time suitable for everyone. I have done with guildies and friends 4-5 skulls at a time.

How does decaying help? I'll do them tonight all 6 of them. Not very useful.

I am all for the camper champers and as V and others said. if you see them run, if you see a wisp be happy and stay. This was a good quick fix to the camping of Oaks solution. Also, if you guys think about it, the people complaining on this thread are the one's that benefited from the alerter most. Just saying.

Cornbread, Dramoor, Alex, and other knowledgable players, what are your opinions on making stat scrolls rarer? Would it be smart to make oaks spawn less frequently, like say once every three weeks or maybe something like that? Just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on it. Honestly I could care less about the decay or CC's. I think it is a smart measure to prevent the annoying pages of people crying about it

Hi everyone, I would like to speak about. I do not like to point the finger at me and that combines with action that is interpret as (bad)

I happen to be at the head of this group you are talking about ...

It is true that we have built our reputation in the past about Lord of Oaks but we lost many of our brothers this past year. That is why we had a break. but after train new members I restart operations ...

Indeed, in 2011-2012 we perform 64 weeks of Lord Oaks concecutive. it is designed to help our members of course, it is logical that the merit goes to those who work hard

I totally accept that and I take full responssability !

but the things I can not accept is that you could be convicted for it.

you judge our ingenuity, you judge the respet that we give us, you judge our faculty of organization.

I do not see this as a regression, but as progress! and I am proud of the people around me !

we even had one Host Harrower public for the shard where everyone was invited, but you understand that we can not do that every week...

Perhaps we could set up a system of invitation 5 person outside our guild to allow some players on dificulty to receive a small fortune

I have often heard players say "a guild is useless .. you never do anything in guild"

it's up to you what you could accomplish if you will take the trouble, a guild is used to bring people together, to learn to play with them and be able to count on one another in any situation

you have the opportunity to do something interesting with your guild. choose your specialization ! make sure that your guild have a good reputation !

the slightest vision of something that scares you choose you whined about your plight and demand a change in functionality for these things is finally available for you.

you all mostly over 25 years, do not make me believe that is your only weapons facing adversity ?

Fight against those you condemned ! appointment the game more interesting for us and for you !

Thanks for your attention :)
