New Year's Card 2023


R-78

Recommended Posts

not knowing what the rewards is, or even if there will be an event around NYC is part of the gamble of actually hunting them. Its sad to see people getting upset about an event that doesn't even need to happen.

How on earth do you miscalculate the number of gulgus that can be farmed?

Because I don't know every single quest that exists on Ultima with all their monsters count by heart.

If I asked you "what's the best quest to farm Goboomas, Pal shark, Canune, ep II Arlan, Ze boota, ep I boxes etc...."

Can you tell me exactly and respectively which quest it is best to farm each of them?

For example some of us just learnt not that long ago that some government quest is more efficient than any other quest for Dark Gunners because it had a very early room that had some. Before that, everyone would always run PTS because they wrongly thought it was best. Did you know that? I bet not.

everyone has been doing the same max attack mission for years to farm these

Yes. For "years". More precisely, one year. (christmas event 2021 => christmas event 2022)

There's no way there are enough nyc in circulation for that raffle to benefit

There are more than enough to reach the highest threshold. And that's not even counting all years spare drops.

This is definitely something we should have known about. I can only vouch this year and last year but the rates from last year to the first part of this year's event seemed the same to me. I grinded all my New Year's Card with coman5. We got to like 400 or 500 before we noticed the drop.

Proof that you didn't read after all then... I did say "this year". Not "this christmas event".

And also proof that this was ridiculously easy: you've made 500 new year cards in a single week.

Keeping this rate for more than 4 weeks of event means you could have made 2,000+ New year cards in a single Event.

2,000 NYCs = 1,000% hit, which is a 750 dts worth.

And you think... That wasn't enough?

That's what you would get from selling 2 PGFs.

Most people who farmed the PGF all the event got only one (if not zero).

 

A couple last words, I should not even have to justify myself.

NYCs have always been a risky gamble that you take.

No one ever promised that they would serve godly purposes, so at least be grateful that you can redeem hit, because it could have been something worse or which you don't see the use (between mags, armor upgrades or whatever, you hardly "don't need %hit").

 

 

Now I am asking you to keep the drama away from this topic.

I will not repeat.

Feel free to send a PM if you want to keep arguing but save other people from reading drama here.

I don't mind people giving their opinion, but now you are just being toxic.

Woops ><

Anyway you might have to edit your post, I'm considering decreasing all the tresholds to make it easier to reach.

This event is really cool and I love wiping the field clean every year. Makes it more fair to the new players and prevents hoarding. There are some people here with literally 4 posts on the forum who I've never seen before (no, seriously, who are you?) and all of them are in this topic. I'm gonna ignore them and focus on everyone else who seems really excited about this event.

 

Absolutely hit it out of the park @R-78, you're too good for this community and I will never take the work you do for granted.

Thank you founders, developers, administrators and GMs for your dedication. Offering so much of your free time without much in return is truly honorable.

 

R-78, you really set the standard what leading by example means. Thank you.

 

You all made this old game feel as new with fresh ideas and polished quests. I didn't even need a hand crank to start this relic of PSO automobile up on my computer! Cudos!

:gem1: SUPER RAFFLE :gem1:

 

It's been since the first NYC event in 2018 that we didn't do a raffle.

But unlike that one, this time there is NO LIMIT on how many NYCs you can bid into the raffle, however you are allowed only ONE REWARD MAX per person.

 

 

POSSIBLE PRIZES

 

Spread Needle [0/0/0/0|100] (4,000+)
Arrest Needle [0/0/0/0|85]
Asteron Striker  [0/0/0/0|90] (4,500+)

Slicer of Fanatic [0/0/0/0|100] (7,000+)
TypeME/Mech [0/0/0/0|90] (6,500+)
SonicTeam Armor (1,000+)

 

Parentheses mean said number must be bidden by the community for the prize to be available.

Example: Slicer of Fanatic 100h isn't a possible prize if the community bid less than 7,000 NYCs.

 

The total number of bidden NYCs will not be public, so it is pointless to wait and see where this gets before you bid.

 

Whenever you hand NYCs to us for the raffle, make sure to tell us your Forum name.

If the profile does not exist, you will not be able to claim your prize.

You will automatically get attributed a range of ticket numbers.

On March, I will roll random numbers live on Ultima official discord between 1 and the last attributed number.

The order of these numbers decides the order from which players are to pick their prize.

If a generated number lands on a player who already won something, it gets ignored.

This goes on until all rewards are depleted or there are no more participants.

 

CONSOLATION PRIZES
You will receive some Donation Tickets if you bid more than 77 NYC but were not lucky enough to get any of the above rewards.
Consolation prize is calculated from the following:

DTs = ⌊(X-70)/8⌋ with X the number of NYC you bid.
Examples:

- You bid 63 NYCs, got no reward. Not eligible for consolation prize.

- You bid 524 NYCs, got no reward. Receive 56 DTs as consolation prize.

 

 

You have until February, 28th of 2023 to place bids for the raffle.

You have until October, 31st of 2023 to redeem hit or specials.

ATTENTION: All New Year Cards will get erased after these, so make sure to use ALL OF THEM.

 

Feel free to ask a GM (mostly Fyrewolf5 or R-78) for NYC redeems.

(Remember I'm much more responsive on Discord R-78#0078)

If you wish to redeem Donation Tickets as well, let we know so we can do all at the same time.

 

Do not wait for the last day to redeem your NYCs with a GM, we won't be responsible for your loss if you cannot catch a GM in the last minutes.

We're adding a rule: it is not allowed to have someone else bid your own New year cards, unless you really can't do it by yourself.

 

___

 

Also, as @Flerbert noticed there was a missing reward, I decided to add a possible prize and let the current highest bidder decide what it would be.

 

@777 picked Psycho Raven, so I'm adding that to the prizes list.

 

Finally, reajusted all thresholds to be more affordable.
