Is it worth to come back?

HypatiaCade1 · July 2018

removing the 1 hour escape time is just an announcement you have no choice but to become a PvP player. Its a shame really this is otherwise an excellent and actually unique game.

cages01 · July 2018

Most retarded thing they ever could do is removing pvp restriction and they doing it... Amazing job... Not.

purplepirate · July 2018

you people kill me. You keep complaining about pvp but all you have to do is just use blue flags. In an earlier thread i showed that 24 hour no war pact only costs $1.50 and it's not as if you really need them on all the time. If you use them properly then you save them and just go about your business. If a pirate starts to harass you and/or tries to port camp THEN you activate it, only as necessary. Also with the new rules in this expansion i'm sure PPP will be releasing alot of them in rewards (like login) but well see. Blue flags are also sold regularly in game from other players so anyone can get them. \

Plus it's not as if the seas are crawling with pirates, i wish they were so i could get my honor up lol. I do think the new rules are to encourage more co-operative play having to as BH's to escort you now. Personally i think you all are worried about nothing, but we'll see how it affects the game.

Oakflesh,

Just make sure to come back and find out for yourself either if it is worth it or not.

Flo!

You're not forced to do pvp if you like crafting, but if crafting isn't paying well then you would either choose something else to do, or play another game. There are lots and lots of options on this game, some are better than others, and that changes over time. This is not a static game. You can either play or not, but it won't stay the same regardless. This is a complex game with many inter-related parts that affect each other and the game will continue to change. If you are Rainman and can't handle change, this is not the game for you.

Traders dont worry, this changes will only make the pirates cry in the end . Because you can always stay and euro and chat with company mates xD.

it will be a nice chatting game :D

Yes. papaya is doing a MUCH better job than OGP. The game is moving back to it's height of excitement and danger that a certain player/Gm in OGP removed.

The CA's and GM's imho are very knowledgeable and responsive. The population is not as great as NM days but if things stay on track and we get some STEAM love, I can see that improving fast.

SailorPapaya · July 2018

It is a statement that is pointless to point out. I just read a post that they mentioned there won't be a reset from Papaya.

:\

Of course there won't. It is either continue or close down.

The player base now cannot be described as a "smaller" group. I can't assume how many left, but for those who played inside the game, there is emptiness everywhere.

I stop playing like 6 months because of real life, and now when I returned, I notice an obvious emptiness in server. So I ask around. Some told me that the last 2 patches have pissed even more players away. Though I do not know wtf Papaya did again to piss them off.

That is what Papaya is good at. Always pissing people off. It is time for players to show them that not you, Papaya, but we are serious too. We are pissed, angered, and we will quit.

For me, I do know myself now why I am quitting for good. The new incoming patch is going to let the pirates to farm on any non-pirates unlimited on sea.

This is something so ridiculous. I cannot accept any games that enable someone to farm on someone unlimitedly. They can reset the server. They can change other stuffs. But this is my borderline. You do not bias on a party that obviously until you destroy the balance of the game play.

I am coming to uwo to play. Not to get farmed. Is that clear enough?

Some people in the forum will tell you " it is okay", "more risk more profit".

How does keep getting raped okay?
What kind of risk is worth it, to let yourself sinked and plundered unlimited outside the sea, for profit?

You went outside you let someone plunder you 10x, WHAT KIND OF PROFIT WORTH THAT?

That is all bullshit!! Nonsense!!

It is true pirates want to have their glory days.

But what they demand, they do not give any space for the traders to survive.

So I ask myself. Do I still want to stay in this game?

I never even hesitate a bit.

Once the patch is confirmed to allow pirates farm on anyone non stop. I am out.

And Papaya can kiss his own ass goodbye.

CrzyPsycoChick · July 2018

Ok I know everyone is mad at Papaya right now but I don't want to be too harsh on them... I mean everyone makes mistakes that's a given but its not if you mess up but how you fix it. Papaya is still actively trying things to save the game that I do Appreciate. Even though farming sucks royally maybe a compromise can be made obviously the pirate's ringleader who started all this crap won't even attempt a compromise and will just whine endlessly at least the majority will be happy.

I appreciate them trying to do new things and they didn't automatically just assume they were right a forced a permanent change on us like Coolwind did and if you spoke out you'd get banned. So for that I appreciate Papaya more than OGP I just think Papaya and Mr Pirate Ringleader need to compromise as his dream of returning to farming traders WILL FAIL if the remaining traders QUIT.

Compromise I think maybe lawless needs these changes or...maybe lower 1 hour to 20 minutes that's super fair or maybe do these rules maybe 1 week out of the month. I dunno

viennas · July 2018

Certainly not under the game rules they adopting now. It's obvious that this game company is obsessed with piracy, already before the current armageddon they did a close minded pirate event, they don't seems to realize that this game is more as just a braindead pk game, and this alone is very scary since such incompetence will never bring so badly needed balance to this game. Maybe this game will make a better come back under some other game company, but papaya is doing a mockery out of all adventures and traders.

OwvinII · July 2018

Don't give up, especially if you want to:

Chart land areas & sea areas [ what other MMO game allows for such more mentally stimulating activity? ]

Astronomy discoveries, especially the 3-day player-named ones [ ditto, although I haven't made any such yet, though ]

Make Weather Phenomena discoveries [ some of which are unique to UWO, and not found in any other MMO game ]

Make other discoveries [ quests & maps w/ educationally valuable information ]

Academy card game [ even nonadventurers w/enough discovery cards can play - I remember showing TommaHawk how to make a player deck back up to 30 cards again after each match loss from years ago, remember? ]

Grinding Oxford skills & Boston Skills, including opening the associated jobs via job-change quests - again, plan accordingly depending on what waters are Safe, Hostile, or Lawless.

Now before you all moan, groan, & comploan about pirates, ask yourself:

Shouldn't you be ashamed of yourself if you're too stinking lazy to craft your own Fine Tribute Goods (Large Ships) [and also grinding the associated trade skills relating to its ingredients, etc.], buy blue-flag items, sail non-obvious routes, use liners to go to different regions of the UWO world to do different adventuring quests/discoveries there, after first checking the sea maps for presence of Safe Waters & Lawless Waters, and planning accordingly?

Besides, you can grind some adventurer skills & some trader skills [especially Storage, Spice Trading, & Food Trading] in safe European waters.

& Cocoapuff, et. al.: Stop being so pessimistic, please. It's not the end of the world.

SailorPapaya · July 2018

Fine tributes cannot defend yourself from getting farm non stop. It they could, for what I complain about? The full loaded ship will always slower than the pirate ship since they will usually sail in lesser cargo or no cargo at all.

To outrun the pirate ships, it cannot be done with ANY moderate ships in the server. If you are sailing with SLS or RLS, yeah, maybe that pathetic few minutes are enough for you to outrun them. But not everyone is sailing with RLS isn't it? Even you have an RLS, make sure you are activate with the 50%, else there is NO WAY TO OUTRUN A PIRATE SHIP!!!!!!!!

Fine tribute can only used once or twice. It reduce half of your money and you need money to sustain your aide loyalty.

So what happen if I got hit by a pirate outside the sea far away from the port? There is no hope to escape at all. Either I logout and revived in nearby port with empty cargo.

So let's say. I only 2 hours to play in a day. I buy NPC from cash shop, using my real money, and I went to trade in nanban. And I met a pirate and get sunk on sea.

So? What am I going to do in the free 2 hours I got? Logoff and wait until the pirates dissappear? I got 2 hours to play only and that is what I am going to do?

The pirates may spend a lot of money to buy their ships, yes. I may spend a little to buy my NPC. Yeah.

So my money is not money? Their money is money? Are you telling me I am going to spend a few usd buying the NPC, exchange for nanban and just to get sunk and forfeit all the cargo that I used the NPC to trade for?

Some even said you should grind maritime to fight pirate. You should play dungeon. You should play this, play that. Avoid trade!

Why should I do so? I can pick whatever I want to play! That is my money, my choice, and my preference!

If you are telling me that I can't even play trader if I want to, then it is not my fault. It is Papaya who make the traders unable to play?

EVERY CHANGES been made in the past, whether it is NM or OGP, is all PROFIT DRIVEN. The publisher will NOT change something just because someone whine and complain.

Why uwo is changed from non stop farming to 24h? Because there is the reason that harm their profit. Use the brain and think for a second. Why would they change it if it does not affect their profit?

Bring a balance!! Why everything go to the extreme???

Non stop farm, so extreme!

24h, so extreme too!

What you cannot find something in the middle? You must either make the pirate cannot play or the traders cannot play only you are satisfied?

From server reset until now Papaya want to piss us how many times? Is it enough? Not enough? Non stop farm this kind of ultra-ridiculous change they even dare to do it. What will happen next?

Hey, how about next time, when a pirate sink a trader, don't deduct the money they carry...

DEDUCT IT FROM THEIR BANK!!!

Do you think this is not possible? Of course this is possible! Now Papaya already surrender totally to the pirate players? The pirates demand them to sit, they dare not stand. The pirate players demand them to stand, they dare not walk.

I still stay in this hopeless environment for what? Wait to witness the final moment when papaya close down uwo?

Sry dude, I am out~~!

purplepirate · July 2018

@SailorPapaya you dolt, if you say you spend money on npc then why can you just buy a bloody blue flag as well? You don't even have to spend money since you can buy in game from other players. Really your arguments are weak since you keep avoiding that fact.

SailorPapaya · July 2018

That npc is an example. Some traders I know, they do that. Buying npc further decrease their profits so they just spend on npc. They don't mind about speed, and they are lazy to ask in markets since when in OGP's time, there are always lack of npc because some resellers buy them all.

I have 3 toons. Blue flags work on per toon. If I could played 8h, calculate for me how much money I needed. For THAT DAY.

I would rather play a monthly subscription game which cost me $15 dollar a month.

It doesn't mean when you set pirates to farm non stop, I have to buy blue flags to play. Many of us have a budget in games. And we are rational because we do not spend thousands in games. If I have that much money to spend on a game, I would take a loan and buy a property for that.

If you don't like players like me who spend with a budget in your game? That take all those who can spend thousands only. Why I need to stay in a place where they do not appreciate my money? Pirates who pay thousands is the key. Ask them to support your server then.

No, it's not the end of my game world; I have dozens of other games that I actually enjoy, including realistic Flight Sims. Yes, it is the end of my Unfettered Woe Online world. In preparation for the New Server, I had bought and modded (thanks CPC, for nothing it seems) a Dragon Ship with Nanban Trade, bought bag expansions and storage expansions and Skill expansions for 3 Main Characters, and Nanban Certificates. I did not buy blue flags, as I was going to Nanban without them. I would have been good for $40 / month. IRL, we are 65 and 60 years old, disabled / retired on a fixed income each. It took 7 years to get my levels, as I did not play 24 / 7 to get to levels 80/80/80 like you. After they WIPED OUT and STOLE all of MY hard work, that I EARNED, I vowed to never give them a real life dime ever again, unless they return EVERYTHING. I will not grind 7 years all over again! So, I play this game casually, alone, and like Farmville. However, I will not quit; I want to be here and ride that U-WOE bomb, Reverse Cowgirl style (YEEE HAAAAW), Like Major Kong in Dr. StrangeLove, to get my money's worth, and witness their self Destruction >>>
