  1. Hello, I haven't played in a while and I've decided its time to sell my STA. I have some other good gear as well High Hit Lindcray, Glide V0 etc.... As I'm not playing much anymore, I'm not looking for DT's. If anyone wants to offer anything other than in-game items or DT's I'd be happy to trade some of my gear.

  2. So during the Christmas event last year 1 of my noob/hp was lost in the common bank, I made a post in this section but nobody responded. I didn't care too much because I still had 4 left. Just recently however, all 4 of my remaining noob/hps evaporated after putting them back in common bank. PLEASE HELP!

  3. Unfortunately, during the last event I was unable to obtain a MR with hit. However, I was able to obtain other good event items. I am willing to trade all 3 (Slicer of Vengence, Glide Divine v00, and Lindcray (all 0 hit)) for a single MR with hit.

    looking for an MR with 40+ hit.

    PM if interested, thanks!

  4. I actually really liked this event. Yes, event drop rates were steep (especially MR and LS, considering what they are worth) but it beats farming TTF or RT 100 times a day. Also there was a wealth of different event items worth getting so any time I logged in I felt like there was always more to get. I definitely had more fun with this event than I did with christmas event, TY Ultima!

  5. So my home internet is very shotty. I often have to use my phone's hotspot to get good internet. When I do this my internet is great! but when I boot up PSO, I can usually connect ok, but when trying to join a room it always crashes. Sometimes it will say "Server is full" before I even get to character select, and sometimes it will crash when selecting a ship. Whats the issue?

    ^ Uhm lol.

    To the main point, I feel like this is just going to go on forever almost. I mean, yeah, the biggest con about the drop is that it's a drop rate that's for a 1 time a year boss. I mean.. I don't think anybody that has an issue with this rate would mind it so much if its a year-round drop. If people were complaining about it then, that would be absurd, but the fact is we're not. We are complaining about how it takes forever to get even if it's a 1 time a year thing.

    At this point what does Larva have to lose making it a easier rate? What do we have to lose? This is a 15 year old game and we have a small community here playing it, you're telling me that it's so much of a problem making it 1/50 or something low without HH is really going to bust the game up? If anything it'll lower prices of the damn things like I expressed in my shitty economy thread.

    But that's what it comes down to right? Money. Larva doesn't want the drop rate to go down because if they're easier to get the prices go down and if the prices go down Larva doesn't get as much donation money. Tell me I'm wrong. I almost want you to. Larva, if I'm wrong, please tell me the main reason why we can't have an easier drop rate? It would just be nice for you to please the community that has stuck with you on this 15 year old game. The priority should be "whatever the community is happy with" mentality and not "what gets me more money" on a game that is 2 generations old.

    I didn't want to bring that up because I wasn't sure if there was another motive that would justify such an unbalanced rate and I wanted to see if Soly or Larva would chime in with any substance. But I agree, it definitely appears that way.

    Sorry @Chriscal lol the fact that it's 1 and something means there will always be a chance of luck and a chance of it to drop so either way it's available to all. Everyone has a chance of it dropping lol. If you decide to not play during the entire event that's the only way you don't have a chance of it dropping. Even if you did 1 run you might magically see a red box. Might be a pd though lol

    Thanks night, there is no reason to be sorry. I understand that luck is involved. Statistically speaking though, luck is involved less and less as the rate becomes closer to 1/1.

    And even then you would not have it guaranteed... if you ran every single minute of the event you could still not get it... that logic makes no sense

    It does make sense, I have alot of respect for you and as such, I would never patronize you, so please don't patronize me. What it appears that you are saying is that the rate could be 1/2 and you could still technically never get it. Thank you, I do in fact understand the way rates work, but that does not justify making an absurd rate of 1/341.

     

    My point is that a rate should be something you can expect to achieve. 

    For example, if the rate was 1/2. You should at least be able to complete 2 kills of "Insert monster here" by the time the event ends. That doesn't guarantee everyone a drop, I know, but at least the average person can expect to get one if he puts the effort in.

    @chriscal something like 170 hours? if you can make well timed runs at it.

    So you are telling me, if PGF is available for 21 days, you would need to farm 8 hours a day for all 21 days in order to 'expect' to get one by the end of the event... AND only assuming you are able to make well timed consistent runs?

    8 HOURS A DAY!? and that's just to an average! God forbid you spend 8 hours a day and still not get one.

  10. Let me get this straight, on average it will take someone 341 runs to get ONE PGF? Is it even possible to farm RT 341 times with non-PGF assisted gear during the course of the event? My point being, noone can 'expect' to receive this item in the given time even though some will get lucky. This is even more unreasonable especially during the holiday season. I feel like its important to state that other PSO servers have the rate faster than 1/100 and its available year round. Don't get me wrong, I love Ultima and will preach all day that it is the best server in existence by leaps and bounds! As much as I am grateful for all the things this server does for its users, 1/341 drop rate is just a mistake. Why shouldn't Ultima strive to be the best server in every way and have a reasonable rate? Shouldn't the rate be even higher if its only available for 1 month out of the year? I'm sorry Ultima, 1/(anything above 100) is unreasonable and is fitting an agenda that does not benefit its player-base.

  11. If you guys are still looking for more members I would be happy to join your ranks! I've been playing on Ultima for a few years now and have never joined a team lol. I think its time.
