    so if you change a mags type does it change its triggers as well?

    Like if i change my nidra to a preta, will it still have nidra's 3x invinc triggers or will it have the preta's triggers? :o

     

    socks tiny rt contest thingy

    So, as im sure a bunch of yall already know im doing a tiny rt contest thingy.
    Rules are:
    DUO RT only
    Must be on ultima server
    Uses in game timer from quest start to the moment the "pgf"drops (or whatever oga decides to fork over)
    No weapons unobtainable to the public (DM for hucast, etc)
    MUST be duo, no solo

    The winning peoples will each receive a stack of pds from mr sock himself

    My hope with this event is to try and encourage two things: 1, good players to still choose to play the easier of the pgf hunts, to potentially help out newer players. 2, encourage the newer players to also want to go zoom

    I chose duo because, well lets be honest the DAR. I figure its still worth a run even if ya carry someone with a duo drop rate rather than a 4 man.

    so far the submissions have been posted in sockland discord here: https://discord.gg/gRh7GZhuZ2

    but feel free to post your submissions here also. I will post the winning times from the discord here also :x

    Once again this is a smol time thing. If the reward isnt exactly appealing to whoever may be reading this, then i ask you to not go too hard with a submission. I'd kinda like the reward to go to a group of players whom would actually benefit from the pds :x Feel free to submit a submission and withdraw from the prize tho if you dont want the pds. I think that made sense? lol Just dont want the pds to go to waste.

    Hopefully this can be a nice way to have some speedrun fun while STILL hunting the event item :x

    Good luck yall :D

    @jdhenry124 i deeed it :D

    just wanted to say to everyone, I appreciate yall.

    the game, the community, all of it.

    I'm sure I'm not the only one having a, less-than-normal Christmas. Ultima and its community have helped it feel a bit more normal.

    always great to see you guys, i truly cannot even think of almost any times ive regretted logging on to this game. yall make that possible.

    -sincerely, your stimky fren Sock.

    cmode hypeeee

    I vote for nakas card giving s-rank without special but also dont want to upset people.

    I also have opinions on SS (🤡) but that seems to be the pandora of all boxes.

    Im hoping to make some tools with saith ( and any other cmode prozsz ) to help make cmode more accessible to newer players :x Hopefully that can increase some of the traffic in cmode, It's definitely a game mode that once you know it, you see its value and fun. However before you know it, its quite daunting.

    Hmm. Is there a way to alter the numbers or code so that some item drops are affected by changed dar and others not? Cause my first thought would be create a seperate 'rarity class' for the incredibly important items (pgf cbat sta). So that most items dont have the dar reduction, except the ones that would cause people to go full blown cheese on the hunt for.

     

    Another thought i had is a monster hunter style drop rate cap. So like if an item has a 1/100 drop rate, if you kill, lets say double that rate, so 200 of that creature, the game will by default give you the item on the 201 drop. I find this idea would be incredibly confidence boosting for new players. 

     

    I know ive had to have the conversation more than once where i basically have to say "look kid, we have way better gear than you and we actually know the quest, and we didnt find ______ last event. So honestly all you can do is try your best and pray"

     

    Personally i can move past that thought and accept the challenge / grind. But i know i feel like im walking on egg shells everytime i reach that cross roads.

     

    Just kinda thinking aloud at this point.
