    I just wanted to say that a 4 player TA is difficult to coordinate. I personally tried to make a submission. I joined 2 different teams. Unfortunately, do to life and work, things did not work out. I thought at the beginning of this event that UPS was the only team on the server who even had a chance at having enough people that were able to play together for enough time to make a submission in such a short amount of time.

    Even in our own team, where most are in the same country, it was still difficult to get 4 players to participate because of conflicting schedules and family/jobs obligations. I can't imagine how difficult it would be for a team like Triforce or Terror where everyone is in different time zones and have responsibilities of their own.

    Sure I’ll bite one more time. 
    I specifically wanted public results to encourage improvements. 

    Which, whether purposefully or not, would stop anyone below the best time uploaded from posting their own, resulting in not having enough submissions. 15 dts is not as attractive as a DF 100h

    I don’t know what to say the 3 submission minimum was added before runs began taking place. Not an unknown caveat added randomly. 

    It was added right before the runs began. The problem for me is not that it was added randomly (it wasn't), but that you should have added that rule near the beginning and taken the registration of the teams at the end of the vote to see if there are enough teams so that people don't waste their time working for a nonexistent reward (getting your score on the leaderboards is not a ''reward'').

    Another thing to note for bob. I’m not giving away GM items.

    I never asked for that. Jdhenry did.

    I was giving away my own hunted or traded items from my real account. I cannot just make up some participation award. 

    Most of which you can part with because you'll never use them anyway. I'm not asking you to empty your entire bank, but to give an item to those who actually spent the time for your event as a sign of appreciation for their dedication.

    The other remark about crediting the others is pedantic as hell. They will all get credit on leaderboards and obviously all took part in the run but I reference Shiida because she is the leader of the team. 

    They get credit on the leaderboards but not from you. While I have a lot of respect for Shiida and her abilities, everyone worked together as a team and saying it's HER team and HER times and commenting that their times were just ''alright'' devalues the effort they all spend those last 2 weeks.

    I won’t reply about this anymore. 

    I will stop as well. It's clear that we're both wasting our time because we will not come to an understanding or at least a compromise. Have a nice day.

    I said it at the start about 3 submissions minimum. I don’t know why people are acting as if I suddenly decided to say that after the time was up. It was a known risk and I’m sorry that it happened. I truly thought people would play for a 100h Dark Flow and that just wasn’t the case. 

    If you have a limit of submissions, then you take them before the running begins. Then you cancel at that point if there are not enough participants. You don't add a limit WHEN the running starts, but before.

    I think people are just upset to see those that chose to invest the time in your event get absolutely nothing. This seems like an easy fix as you are a GM and can offer them something for the time and effort they put in. And it would also encourage participation in future events you organize. 

    Hit the nail on the head there.


    Also unrelated but:

    It may sound like a petty remark, but R-78 wasn't the only one who participated in that team and tried hard to get the best scores. At least acknowledge the other 3 participants. It's not her times but theirs.

    It was just a prank, bro

    So because there are not enough submissions, you don't want to give any prizes, even with the amount of gear you'll never use? That's just a dick move. At least acknowledge their hard work and time spent through something aside from a spot in your leaderboard. Imagine something like the Powerball pulling that off ''Oh we didn't sell enough tickets this week so we're keeping the cash prize even though there's a clear winner. Better luck next time''.

    Not only that, but even with the proposed changes by Lipelis and 3Psy, fewer people would want to participate to whatever TA event you want to host next by fear of having wasted their time for no reward aside from a ''good job'' (which not even that, which is the bare minimum in politeness, would have been given if not for the people's rightful outrage at your complete silence), when they could've played on the main server to drop gear they wanted (it's not like there was an event going on at the same time where people wanted to farm some pretty useful items, that would be an insane thought /s). The Ultima TA community is already bare as it is, this situation doesn't help its case.

    Just wanted to suggest that IN CASE competitor teams are not able to finish Realms of War (which is a really hard quets by itself, let alone the fact you can't start with PB), then instead, you count the everyone's team performance at this quest by the number of spawns killed when time reaches zero, which is given by a NPC right at the quest counter.

    Now if teams are able to finish them given the new items added to the server, you can probably ignore this idea.

    We have a lot of talented people on the server, I don't think that'll be a problem.

    And my personal prediction for the enemy that will drop the ss in ep1: some form of rappy.

    Disproved by me (Bluefull El Rappy got Angry Fist and Pal dropped HP/Revival, their normal drops), sorry to burst your bubble.

    My prediction since almost the beginning of the event: Crimson Assassin

    Spoiler

    Note that a lot is speculation.

    Ruins is the focus of the next 2 events.
    No way is such a strong weapon in Forest (though it'd be hilarious).
    Except for Valentines event and cards, nobody farms in Caves (TTF doesn't count).
    Like the Sorcerer in Spaceship, he's the second strongest in the second zone of its episode and he doesn't appear in the last area.
    After farming a lot there since the start of this event, every monster dropped something for me except Pan Arms (I farm in Caves 2 where they are absent, I may do some Caverns of Gloom more in the next few days) and Assassins.
    Centurion/Technique on Nano Dragon when there are no event drops in Cave (for now), while most other useless cent are where there are some interesting drops.
    This:hint.png.09fe34e57ef4b40f2a048ca60547398d.png
    Guess who doesn't appear in TTF because he's absent in Caves 3.

    New version

    • Fixed bug where 4th player wouldn't appear at the right place in a certain area.
    • Locked a door in a room near the end to not make people think there's actually something there.
    • Some npcs are now practicing social distancing.
    • Changed direction of a piece of rubble facing the wrong way.

    Thanks @R-78 for helping me with bug testing.

    Fun quest, bab. I like the humor of the NPCs throughout and I liked that confined laser fence battle in the first stage. Lots of rappies should be good for hunting for the remainder of this event, but unfortunately I didn't seem to get a single egg rappy :(

    Thanks for that, I spend a lot of time on npc dialogue. A shame about the rappies.

    But as GM @Lipelis always says, be honest. You named the quest this way so that you can see your name on the list when you go to the lobby counter....

    Noooooo...maybe a little bit.
