Ulgror, the tar spirit

[shadowblack]

A new MP scenario that is not yet available. But the text makes it clear that it will be a multiplayer one. So far no further information is available.

[Arakin]

Ulgror has an interesting entry in the Sryth Encyclopedia here (http://www.sryth.com/ci.php?f_c=showinfo.inc&f_infoid=ulgror).

Can't wait.

[Oldschool]

Wonder if the inaugural battle will be heralded by a timer display?

[shadowblack]

From the latest updates:
Ulgror is Coming...
An all-new challenging and rewarding multiplayer combat scenario is on its way. The battle against Ulgror is set to begin in 3 days (6/15).

The mighty, immortal guardian spirit of Tar Lake doesn't take kindly to adventurers poking around its ancient abode...and the fearsome tar beast is about to make that point abundantly clear.

It should be noted that adventurers in possession of Varkyn's Ring of Motley Wonder will begin to discover that the events and places in and around Tar Lake are, in many ways, connected to the great 'Trickster' Mage.

[Arakin]

I wonder what weapons would be most effective against Ulgror. Would Ulgror be considered an elemental. Despite possibly being an embodiment of the spirits of Tar Lake's victims, I don't really expect that Ulgror is one of the undead.

Since the raffle for Goraphtor's Savage Weapons (http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_Marker_Raffles/Gorapthor%27s_Savage_Weapons), I've wondered how useful a weapon with a rare bonus against elementals (http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Weapons_vs_Elementals) (like Gorapthor's Fearstaff) would be. In contrast, several other Gorapthor's weapons help in the other MPs -- the anti-dragon and anti-demon ones.

[Young Ned]

Hmm, hadn't considered that he might be an elemental. Storel has the Enchanter's Dagger, so I'll have him try it out against Ulgror once he debuts. I'm thinking tar probably isn't considered an element, but it's worth a try.

[Snake]

I'm thinking that he is a shadow type because "I am what was". A shadow is something that was there before you died. This is my guess there because are no spirit type creatures in the game. Although the GM might create one. Still lets keep wondering.

[Oldschool]

Could be as we don't have any known shadow types for Trielra's Staff.

But I seem to recall mention that some first run creatures might be shadow types but to my knowledge no one's tested that theory.

[scout1idf]

I don't know how the "Boss" will be affected, but I tried different powers on the Tar Men and both Elementalism (81) and Necro (82) did quite well, better than Gating (85), (Scout's power choice).

It could have been lucky shots with them and unlucky ones with the other powers, could be that the same thing won't work on the boss.

[SiannaDey]

thus far it is not listed as AG....but might be when put in.

But like the Battle Markers....even if non-AGrs are able to participate....they would not be able to collect the rewards behind those doors.

Just wondering what tomorrow will bring...:rolleyes:

[Oldschool]

Well since we don't have the usual screens at Tar Lake yet who besides moi is waiting (and hoping) for the stroke of midnight.

Also I just had a thought as I just cleared out the lower level of Sword Island. What if that level is like our basement and we have to clear it out x number of times?

[Oldschool]

Get ready.....

Several dozen yards from shore, the thick, roiling surface of the bog writhes and ripples continually... Edit: If there's any changes in the text I'll edit them in for reference just in case it's similar to Tarramyre. First text noticed at appx. 12:07

Edit2: May be because it's the inaugural run but interesting to note the other typical screens are absent as well as the timer.

Edit3: Looks like the other screens may be coming online. I doubt the few amount of adventurers are accurate considering who's active in game and viewing this thread. Maybe they/you won't show until you leave and come back to the screen since the adventurers screen came online.

Edit: Several dozen yards from shore, the thick, roiling surface of the bog writhes violently, spewing columns of molten tar many feet into the air... Text change at 12:30 I'll try to update with times and note the battle time for reference purposes just in case.

[Dariel]

Click..Click...Click..Repeat. This is driving me crazy :(

[Oldschool]

Check my edits I'll delete this after a bit.

[kaffe]

Change in altar message.

[scout1idf]

Oldschool,

Is Hawk's SP really only 125 at the moment? If so, you better heal and save before this starts!!!

[Dariel]

Several dozen yards from shore, the thick, roiling surface of the bog writhes ominously...


oh boy.

[Oldschool]

Ermmm..... :o Yes it was and thanks. The Hammertongue's on me.....

Forgot to heal after clearing the lower level of the tomb which now has a text difference btw.

[Oldschool]

Just a friendly reminder - may wanna leave and save if you get any drops.

[Dariel]

Once more.

Several dozen yards from shore, the thick, roiling surface of the bog writhes violently, spewing columns of molten tar many feet into the air...



EDIT: LET THE FIGHT BEGIN!

[scout1idf]

If it's a 30 minute count down timer, it should be any minute now.....

[Oldschool]

Good point I noticed it at about 12:07. And if it's similar to Tarramyre the text is on a 30 minute timer iirc.

[scout1idf]

The battle is over...for now...


Please Note: Experience awards for this battle have been recorded for each participant and will be available at the "windowless building with the blue door" in Hawklor, Trithik, or Talinus. There is a delay between the end of a battle and the availability of the Experience awards.

Ulgror is no more. The fearsome tar beast was valiantly engaged by a brave band of Sryth's most illustrious heroes in a brutal battle that lasted 0 hour(s) and 10 minute(s).

It was ultimately the illustrious adventurer, Lancelot (texlaw1992), who brought down The towering tar beast.

Wielding his trusted weapon (Shadowfire Sword), the valiant Lancelot ended the menace of The towering tar beast by dealing out a total of 583 point(s) of damage in his final engagement with the fearsome tar beast.

Here are the names of some of the bravest adventurers who stood against The towering tar beast, and the damage they scored against the fearsome tar beast...

Adventurer Damage
1. Kaizer (dariel) 8,562
2. Spencer Lionking (Durgin) 8,440

5. Hawk (oldschool) 4,520
6. Ard (kaffe) 3,733
7. Shatterskull (Padraig) 3,018

[spencer]

Congrats Tex and Dariel!!

Edit: No blobs of tar for me. Did anyone get a drop?

[Dariel]

I got nothing. I'm waiting for the experience from the blue door, hopefully they'll have an item for meh :D

[texlaw1992]

First to get the KB against Ulgror!

However, there's a bug - after the KB, I get zapped to Ildaria's lair. I need to email the GM.

Did anyone get any tar? I did not.

[scout1idf]

Scout died 4 times during the battle, including the first round.

Every time Scout would flee, he took major damage as well. I don't think there was one time that he didn't take a hit on the run.

I missed the final round while saving. Scout got a blob in his last round and didn't want to take the chance of loosing it.

EDIT:


Quivering Blob Of Tar (Use) Item ID 1781



* Class: Misc
* Encumbrance: 0

This quivering, fist-sized blob of black tar bears an unnerving resemblance to a horror-stricken human face.

[kaffe]

Did anyone else suddenly get transported to Ildraria"s cave and get the text that comes at the end of her battle?

[Dariel]

Scout, could you try it out? Hopefully it'll unlock that hidden power of the ring :o

EDIT: The Tar Beast - Ulgror

XP +1,571 You've been awarded a total of 1,571 Experience...
1,571 xp applied to general...

ITEM You've acquired: Battle Marker


You've been awarded a rare and valuable Battle Marker! Be sure to SAVE YOUR GAME right away!

Oh well...

[Oldschool]

First congrats Dariel and Texlaw.

Two drops will add descriptions item numbers later.

I also got transported to Ildraria's lair on the first exit screen actually where you are fighting the trolls leaving her lair. In gamed the GM from that screen as well as from Talinus advising him I got out.

I also noticed the battle results were completely different before I was transported to Ildraria's lair - probably her last mp results.

Also did anyone else's repeatable clicking on restoro option disappear partway through. And it's probably related to it being the first run but I wasn't getting the typical 3 adventurers round by round breakdown.

[texlaw1992]

I emailed the GM about the bug - I'm sure he'll fix it before the next battle.

I would imagine you need a certain numbers of tar blobs to activate the ring's power. Let us know what happens when you put the blobs in the altar.

[scout1idf]

Scout just used his blob....


New screen 1

You put your item (Quivering Blob of Tar) to use.

Re: the bug.


Hi, thanks for the report! There was an incorrect setting that caused the
glitch. It's now corrected, and the ending of the battle will present itself
correctly next time. The Experience rewards for the battle will be accurate,
and if you visit Tar Lake, you can view the results of the battle with Ulgror.

Thanks again for the report. It's much appreciated!

As always, all the best,

Kudos to the GM for a fast response.

[Oldschool]

OK now that I'm done atm with the Sword Island thread some observations re: the mp.

Any help/corroboration would be appreciated just use spoilers please.


On the initial foray I encountered several tar men similar to the wolfkin and armoured trolls. However I got slain and had to come back a handful of times in the first handful of rounds and never fought them again. Never saved until later when I got a drop btw.

I did encounter them again later so I'm thinking they are random on APPROACH.

Also again on approach (at least four different times) I had a check to avoid a tar fountain (paraphrasing btw). Could use Ele or Fort at the same level - 60 I think or SM at 70. Sure of the xp awards though - 16xp for Ele and 24 xp for SM. Also could do a stat check (can't recall specifics).

And those Tar Fist specials are NASTY.

Scout encountered the Tar Men on approach as well, both in groups and single combat.

He only used Ele (16xp) on the tar fountain all successful. Seeing the XP reward for Shadow Magic, I think next time Scout will be using that.....

I wonder, you said that you only got one drop, but did it say tar blob X 2 maybe? Just a thought that the quantity may be random.....

[spencer]

Three times I was hit with random attacks before going into the fray. You have the option to use Fortification (60+), Elementalism (60+) or Shadow Magic (70+). If successful you get 16 to either Fortification or Elementalism and 24 to Shadow Magic. You can also dodge (my bonuses were 40, needed 75) but you get no xp. I passed every time, so I don't know what happens if you fail.

[Oldschool]

@ Scout. Shoulda worded that better. Actually I got two separate drops - I just didn't save till I got the first and then the second.

And I'm guessing you're right in that you need to save after you use your drops as well as getting them. Similar to KB rewards and Battle Markers in that if you don't you lose 'em or in that case credit for 'em as they still stay in the pot so to speak.

Guess I'm the not so anonymous absent minded benefactor. :rolleyes:

[scout1idf]

I know that MP's aren't as popular now days as they were in the past, but I am surprised at how few people played in the opening battle.

Adventurer Damage
1. Kaizer (dariel) 8,562
2. Spencer Lionking (Durgin) 8,440
3. SCOUT (scout1idf) 4,696

5. Hawk (oldschool) 4,520
6. Ard (kaffe) 3,733
7. Shatterskull (Padraig) 3,018

And yes I know it's a week night, but still...

[wolfman10]

Does anyone know if there are any pre-req's for this? My ring is maxed but I haven't been near Sword Island yet. When I go to the MP though, it has no time until the next battle showing and nothing shows up in my AF. Help!

Thanks.

[Oldschool]

Was thinking the same thing. But the time may have affected it and no timer as there were several "active adventurers" I was expecting to see. But I don't know the exact mechanics of that list so they may have been logged off as well.

Also anyone else wondering why there isn't a timer on the adventurer finder or a countdown when you go to Tar Lake? I'm guessing the GM's still working on it?

And Scout it seems as if it is on a 30 minute timer once the "tar starts boiling" as you predicted.

EDIT: And I noticed the lack of a three adventurer battle result screen as well. But considering the number of times I got Hawk slain I'm not complaining. Plus it's probably coming.

Nothing showing for me either and I fought in the first battle.

My guess is that the GM hasn't finished everything yet (live bug testing probably, it makes it easier if everything isn't turned on). There wasn't a battle record showing what was happening during the fight like the others either.

[shadowblack]

I see no timer either. Guess the Gm must still be testing things.

[paladin]

Hopefully that's all it is. I'm not one to wait around on location for the beast to show itself, especially since to be quite frank most of the time the wait times are rather riddiculous. Eight hours?

[racey]

Ulgror stretches wide his dripping, cavernous mouth and unleashes a long, mournful bellow as his tremendous, flowing bulk begins to sink slowly into the bubbling tar bog.

The brave adventurers closest to edge of treacherous mire swiftly fall back to firmer, higher ground as the mighty spirit of the bog guardian swiftly disappears into the roiling, black depths of Tar Lake.

In a matter of moments, all that remains to mark the spot where Ulgror fell is a broad ring of churning tar two dozen yards from the stony shore.

The beast of Tar Lake is gone...for now.

The battle against Ulgror is at last over...and it was YOU who struck the final blow!

Ulgror is no more. The fearsome tar beast was valiantly engaged by a brave band of Sryth's most illustrious heroes in a brutal battle that lasted 0 hour(s) and 11 minute(s).

It was ultimately the illustrious adventurer, Trent (racey), who brought down The towering tar beast.

Wielding his trusted weapon (Shadowfire Axe), the valiant Trent ended the menace of The towering tar beast by dealing out a total of 994 point(s) of damage in his final engagement with the fearsome tar beast.

Here are the names of some of the bravest adventurers who stood against The towering tar beast, and the damage they scored against the fearsome tar beast...

6. Sebastian (jendrik) 1,408

And I got a blob of tar on the KB round (which I placed in the altars maw)!

[shadowblack]

Looks like Ulgror is not yet in the Adventure Finder so I'll have to check manually for the next battle. :(

Have you done the Aldvarian Amulet quest, yet? That would be a prerequisite, I believe.

Sorry if this has been pointed out, but... Randomly, he will throw tar at you. You can use Fortification (60+)/ Elementalism (60+)/Shadow Magic (70+) or dodge (Agility half of body and Luck 75 needed). You get 24 XP to SM. Fail to dodge and you roll again (Body, need 50+). Pass you lose 26 SP.

Also there's no "progress bar".

[shadowblack]

4 minutes, lol! Some beast that was.:rolleyes:

Naturally, I found nothing. Hopefully next battle will be longer so that I can find the items others mentioned...

[spencer]

Anyone who got a drop ( I did not), please go put the tar blob in the maw at the altar on Sword Island.

[racey]

So does everyone have to fight the tar men on the way in for the first round?

[paladin]

I will once it starts showing up in the Adventure Finder. I'm not waiting around Tar Lake all day LOL.

So does everyone have to fight the tar men on the way in for the first round?

I don't remember any. But, it was going so fast, I might have and forgotten.

[shadowblack]

Don't know about the rest, but I had to fight one when I first attempted to attack Ulgror.

By the way, it's a bout to start again:
Several dozen yards from shore, the thick, roiling surface of the bog writhes and ripples continually...

[racey]

I don't remember any. But, it was going so fast, I might have and forgotten.

@TG You wouldn't have forgotten. You have to fight quite a few and you get from 3 to 9 xp for each.
@Shadowblack Yes that was what I was referring to. On your first attempt in to attack (2fights in a row for me now).

Well, that part seems to be random, because I had to fight exactly ONE. I even copied the text, so I'm sure I made no istake about the number:
Suddenly...

Risen out of the boiling depths of Tar Lake, a vast legion of tar men, loyal guardians of the bog -- and servants of Ulgror -- are now engaging the adventurers who are attempting to attack the mighty tar beast.

The path forward to Ulgror is now clear...
* Move forward and attack Ulgror...
* Retreat from the edge of the lake...

[spencer]

I had to fight 8 tar men and they ranged from 5 to 18 combat xp for each. I believe that they were 3+, as they did not do a great amount of collective damage to me.

Unable to continue with your valiant attack against the mighty tar beast, you fall back from the edge of the bog before swiftly retreating beyond the range of the monster's deadly reach.



You managed to deal 939 points of damage to Ulgror before you were forced to retreat.




Suddenly...

On the ground nearby you spot a small, quivering mass of black tar. Much to your horror, you note that the blob of tar bears a disturbing resemblance to a horror-stricken human face.

Despite your initial misgivings, you reach down and take possession of the tar blob.



ITEM You've acquired: Quivering Blob of Tar


And, after traveling to sword island


You're standing directly before the black stone altar. The top of the altar has been carved to resemble the massive head and gaping maw of some hideous beast.

The 'mouth' of the altar currently contains 7 blobs of tar.

Since discovering the altar, you've placed 1 blob of tar in its maw.

Step back from the altar...

[smv1973]

I got 3 Quivering Blob Of Tar from the battle.

[thingirl]

I'm guessing 100 balls needed. Maybe 1k.

You're standing directly before the black stone altar. The top of the altar has been carved to resemble the massive head and gaping maw of some hideous beast.

The 'mouth' of the altar currently contains 12 blobs of tar.

Since discovering the altar, you've placed 1 blob of tar in its maw.

[shadowblack]

This time I had to fight two tar men. Most likely there's a predetermined number of tar men we have to kill together instead of each character having a set number of opponents. I got 5 XP for first and 9 XP for second. Fleeing from either was not allowed.

Enemy special:
Ulgror staggers you with a devastating blow from his massive fist of tar...

13-33 damage observed.

Regular attacks:
The towering tar beast swats at you with his black, bubbling fists
Ulgror bellows with rage as he swipes at you with his massive, molten fists
The towering tar beast swats at you with his black, bubbling fists

This time I also got one blast of molten tar unleashed at me. I now have the text for Fortification. Three more such blasts until I have all the texts.

P.S.: No blobs of tar for me.

[Draxas]

during the battle it said i aquired a blob of tar but it is not in my inventory, am I missing something, this was my first battle

[Doolipalally]

It should be there - at least, mine was! Are you sure? Look under 'Quivering'.

[thingirl]

Draxas, did you die after that? If you die, you loose all MP drops. Go to your inventory drop-down from the stats panel and scroll all the way down. It should be the last item.

[racey]

Should be under quivering blob of tar.

[spencer]

Five tar men this time

[thingirl]

I forgot how many tar men. Lots though.

[Draxas]

Should be under quivering blob of tar.
Thank you Racey there it is

[Doolipalally]

Eight tar men for me.

I'm not used to getting a KB going in at 18%. This tar guy is definitely popular!

I finished the battle and thought, 'Well, that was fun. Now, where do we wash?'...

[smv1973]

The 'mouth' of the altar currently contains 15 blobs of tar.

Since discovering the altar, you've placed a grand total of 3 blobs of tar in its maw.

[scout1idf]

Where were you guy's last night when the 7 of us were fighting him for the first time?

Just kidding.

We did ok **counts Scout's remaining RoL**

[thingirl]

I was sleeping. I wanted to be up, but dad wouln't let me... :(

[shadowblack]

The wiki page (http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Ulgror) about Ulgror has been created. Feel free to add the missing details (mostly about the blobs of tar).

[thingirl]

Several dozen yards from shore, the thick, roiling surface of the bog writhes and ripples continually...

[racey]

From the Adventure Finder...

Tar Lake
There is currently no sign of Ulgror ...
...0 hour(s) and 8 minute(s) remain...

[shadowblack]

So it's been added at last. Yay!

[thingirl]

Yay! And it counts down to 0, not to 31 and then a special message.

[racey]

Congrats Shadowblack!

Ulgror is no more. The fearsome tar beast was valiantly engaged by a brave band of Sryth's most illustrious heroes in a brutal battle that lasted 0 hour(s) and 5 minute(s).

It was ultimately the illustrious adventurer, Shadowblack (shadowblack), who brought down The towering tar beast.

Also, I finally got one of these:

Unable to continue with your valiant attack against the mighty tar beast, you fall back from the edge of the bog before swiftly retreating beyond the range of the monster's deadly reach.

Despite your initial misgivings, you reach down and take possession of the tar blob.

ITEM You've acquired: Quivering Blob of Tar
Double yay! I just hope doing 1000+ damage is not required for getting a blob...

[thingirl]

I fought 11 blobs on approach.

[shadowblack]

You mean 11 Tar Men, right? I didn't fight any, but it's possible you guys had killed them all.

Also, I think i saw damage fo 42 and 44 by Ulgror's specials, but I wasn't paying attention, so I could be wrong. Can anyone confirm?

Last night I saw 44 damage when Scout fled.

[paladin]

Ok, I went through all that trouble to be present for a battle an hour or two ago. I was right there and I still somehow missed the darn thing. I believe the proper phrase is...D'oh! I really hope it starts appearing in the Finder son. As I said I refuse to wait around Tar Lake all day.

Ok so it's now listed in the Finder at least. And it's got almost two hours before the next time. I only hope I don't miss it this time.

11 Tar Men on the way in. 7 a little later.

[shadowblack]

2 tar men at the start, and 2 more later in the battle. First time I had to fight tar men after the start.

[Oldschool]

I seen at least one 71 special and then two in succession that took Hawk out when he was around 150ish - maybe higher.

[thingirl]

Almost missed this one. My grandma called. :)

Oh, and I came in late and fought the tar-men on my first round.

I found 4 more blobs of tar. This time I ran to Talinus to save after each one.

All four were found when I did less than 1000 damage.

[spencer]

I found 6 blobs of tar. Every round over 1000 damage netted a blob. (5/5) Only one round on <1000 damage netted a blob ( I think it was around 725 damage). Also, during this fight, I encountered four tar men at the beginning and then 4 more tar men in the middle of it (first time this has happened).

[thingirl]

I got 3 tar blobs, all with damage <1k. Total 1>1k, 4<1k.

[Oldschool]

3 blobs of tar deposited then saved - don't want to make that mistake again.



The check to avoid the fountain or whatever it is described as is Agility, Body and Luck mine are all 20 and I got bonuses of 20, 10 and 10 respectively.

If you fail you do another check. Was spamming too fast to catch it but I'm guessing to reduce the damage. I'm guessing I failed that check as well since Hawk got hit for 40 some damage.

[thingirl]

Oldschool, I think you passed. I have the numbers here somewhere...

EDIT: Randomly, he will throw tar at you. You can use Fortification (60+)/ Elementalism (60+)/Shadow Magic (70+) or dodge (Agility, half of body and Luck, 75 needed). You get 24 XP to SM. Fail to dodge and you roll again (Body, need 50+). Pass you lose 26 SP.

[Oldschool]

@ Glowworm. They're random drops. Advisable to save after getting them and to save after depositing them as well.

@ Racey. Got sidetracked by the Tar Men on the last round as well. And here I thought all that cursing I was doing was echoing. :rolleyes:

And came in late and still managed two tar blobs.

Question? Has most of the resets been one hour? New I shoulda called in sick, lol.

[Oldschool]

Not a complaint but since we don't have them here (yet hopefully) I definitely like having the combat results displayed between rounds.

Nice to have the timer go all the way down to zero though.

[racey]

Question? Has most of the resets been one hour? New I shoulda called in sick, lol.

Yes.

[Oldschool]

Figured so by the looks of the thread and now that I'm off work real life BECKONS..... :rolleyes:

Just wondering how this would play out for characters without VRoMW. I'm guessing they can participate and get drops but have to hoard 'em till they get access to the lower level of Sword Island.

And I wonder if we'll awaken something or get sucked into the tar at some point. Or some other dreadful thing.

EDIT: Lulz ninj'd

[Oldschool]

We wait I guess.

On a lark I tried lighting the tar when it got over 100 in deposits - nothing.

[texlaw1992]

Got my first tar blob - nothing exciting so far.

Somehow I think when we accumulate x number of blobs, some creature is going to form on the altar. We'll see.

I presume the rest of the 113 blobs are those that were placed by all the other players who've gotten blobs?

[scout1idf]

On my way to the first round against Ulgror, in the last battle, Scout had to fight 7 tar men.

About 3/4 of the way through he then faced 9 tar men before fighting Ulgror.

At first I thought I was stuck in a loop and thought I wouldn't get to the battle. Glad I was wrong and I think 7 or 9 tar men during the battle is a bit extreme.....

[Oldschool]

Think I got it figured out....


Seems the Tar Beast Ulgror is a color changing chameleon and we're nothing but unsuspecting surrogates. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvaJ7Y1Bsjo)

Then again maybe not..... :cool:;)

[thingirl]

This battle that starts soon was originally 5 hours. It got reduced to one hour.

[scout1idf]

Scout's been killed so many times today fighting Ulgror, he actually still has one QS heal left for this battle. (and his QS resets in 1hr 20min)

It's nice that they reset on your death.....

I like this new one, but I think there may be a bug. I got one tar blob on the very last time, I know for a fact. But it's not in my inventory even after saving, quitting and reloading.

[Dariel]

Paladin, you could try finding it by pressing ctrl+f and typing in "blob". If it's not there then, you should probably report it to the GM

[spencer]

No drops for me in the last fight. Every combat was less than 30 rounds and also less than 1000 damage. I wonder if the number of rounds impacts your chancd to get a drop?

[Doolipalally]

No drops for me either, but with 4 out of 6 KBs today I'm not complaining! :)

Congrats on top damage, TG - very impressive going.

Re when the drops happen: I'm going with my usual theory of 'it's just random'. It always seems unlikely that the GM would bother to hook it up to anything like round length or damage when it would be so much more straightforward just to make it a percentage chance when you leave the fight. Also, if it were linked to how much damage you do it would be unfair to lower-level players.

(Also, come to think of it, I had a number of 30+ rounds and got over 1000 twice, and still no blobs...)

[spencer]

Thanks for your feedback, Dooli. I think that you're probably right and it is very, mostly, kinda random :)

[thingirl]

I got 5. :D

Sing a song of random,
A pocket full of cry.
Four and twenty tar balls,
Shoved into the alter.

When the alter's open,
Ring's powers are found;
Isn't that a lovely gift,
To give adventurers?

[paladin]

We don't even really know what's going to hapen. Heck, we don't know the magic number yet as far as I know. And since I'm slated to go out job hunting later on today I won't be able to devote as much time to it as I'd like. We'll see what tomorrow brings...

[thingirl]

Good luck, Paladin!

[Glowworm]

Finally got a blob--technically I got two but I stupidly didn't save and killed myself. So I have one.

[spencer]

I got five of those pesky, random buggers. I think that I had to fight the tar men either 3 or 4 times.

Thanks and Congrats back atcha Racey.

Got a tar blob on the KB round for a total of two. Was trying to figure out the empty altar mouth when I noticed the MP was 2 minutes away. Just cleared all the tar men and couldn't throw the levers to get past the force field. I'm sure this is mentioned in the other thread but I'm staying out of there (hopefully) while I figure it out. I'm hoping the levers have reset while I've been out.

[texlaw1992]

Got to the battle just in time to use SM, but he was dead before I could land a single blow.

Oh well, try try again. I want a few more blobs to put in the altAr which may altEr its appearance (that's for you TG, lol).

[Oldschool]

Question that I've failed to test. And pardon me if this is specifically answered as I don't recall the specifics.

It's been established that using powers during an mp will nerf your subsequent melee attacks for awhile. I can't recall if the power use was specifically on the combat screen or if it was even "broke down" that specific.

Just wondering if anyone that has used a power to avoid that has noticed the lower melee damage?

I've been dodging lately just because I'm not sure if it affects the melee damage or not.

[spencer]

Any power that you use during a combat round (i.e. while you are fighting) will nerf your melee damage for 70 rounds.

[Oldschool]

Thanks Spencer I figured you'd know as I was/am feelin' too lazy to necro it.

So since that check is out of combat it shouldn't affect things. Correct?

Now it says I got the killing blow , but I fled from my last round was over so I would not steal a killing blow. I never got the screen that says you got the killing blow, and I never got the XP for a killing blow. Very strange. Has that happened to any else?

[texlaw1992]

I think Ulgror is a metaphor for BP and Tar Lake is a metaphor for the Deepwater Horizon. That's why we're able to get a "top kill" against Ulgror (lol).

I never even got the screen that says that you have got the killing blow. I only found out when I looked to see who was fighting in the battle. That when I saw that it had me listed as getting the killing blow.

[Oldschool]

Yeah sorta reverse of my experience. Considering Spencer's post in the "general" mp thread it seems the GM's doing some "serious tweakage" to the mps along with the BOG.

Maybe it was a glitch associated with that and a one time thing.

[Oldschool]

Just thought I'd mention this because it's "got" me a couple times as I'm not used to it.

If you choose to rest during the mp you get some text and a continue screen. If you do not hit the continue screen and actually get to the rest screen you won't actually rest.

And if like most folks you also use restoro while resting you go back to the continue screen. It seems (pretty sure although very limited testing) you do continue resting but it also seems (less sure) it throws your timing off in relation to your uses of restoro unless you go back to the actual rest screen. And it goes to the continue screen every time you use restoration.

Just thought I'd pass that along.

Got 8 tar balls in two MPs - not bad at all.

I added two to my altar total, making a total of 100 with me personally adding 10 - the number felt right (lol).

Sorry for the kill stealing, racey. I was hoping to get my first tar ball, but no such luck. Well, at least I managed to actually get a shot at it this time.

2700 damage is not exactly a killsteal, in my opinion. Welcome to the forum and game Terook.

@Racey, holy mackanoley!! Serious damage there. I think with damage that high, then 3 BOG will be the limit.

[racey]

@Terook- I agree with spencer. You fought a couple of rounds there and I do not feel that you stole a KB and welcome to the forum and to the wonderful world of Sryth.

@Spencer- That is alot of damage so 3 may well be the limit. It was also the first time I used the gem so maybe it had built up some "frustration"! ;)

Your 3 black octagonal gems unleash their combined, deadly might upon Ulgror...Ulgror takes 6,375 damage!
Ulgror is stunned!

You managed to deal 7,752 points of damage to Ulgror before you were forced to retreat.

KA-CHING!!!! 'bout doubled your damage with one combat cycle. I've been using mine before the KB rounds so if I don't get the KB the damage amounts aren't "wasted". I went in one mp earlier today for one cycle and used the BOG and WoD and left and managed mid rankings in the damage list.

As for myself, thanks but congrats probably ain't the correct word as my score isn't indicative of my involvement. Take a look at my KB damage compared to my total damage. :rolleyes::o

Was foruming away when I realized "oh _____..... Ulgror........... "

Got there late so I hit him with my BOG and WOD thinking that would get me enough damage to score some decent xp. Plus I figured I'd get another couple rounds in when I realized I got the KB in one round.

Sorry folks.

[shadowblack]

Ulgror stretches wide his dripping, cavernous mouth and unleashes a long, mournful bellow as his tremendous, flowing bulk begins to sink slowly into the bubbling tar bog.

The brave adventurers closest to edge of treacherous mire swiftly fall back to firmer, higher ground as the mighty spirit of the bog guardian swiftly disappears into the roiling, black depths of Tar Lake.

In a matter of moments, all that remains to mark the spot where Ulgror fell is a broad ring of churning tar two dozen yards from the stony shore.

The beast of Tar Lake is gone...for now.

The battle against Ulgror is at last over...and it was YOU who struck the final blow!

Just to let everyone know, *strains his muscles while patting himself on the back*, I don't typically use the BOG against Ulgror so that we can fight him longer and get more tar blobs.

[Doolipalally]

Now there's a good thought! I confess I did use it once during that fight, but then it was the first MP battle I've been in since getting it and I wanted to try it out. I was duly punished by getting three blobs and then dying...

NOW you tell me..... Never considered that either - nice strategy which I'll follow. At least until the BOGs are maxed.

[racey]

FYI- Do not store your blobs of tar in your cottage at Durnsig. I was messing around this morning and stored enough blobs there (3 MP's worth) to reopen the portal now however after I stored them I went back in to pick them up and as I picked them up the right hand side text that indicated that I picked an item up showed up each time I clicked on a blob but the blobs never showed in my inventory. I sent an email to the GM and am awaiting a reply.

[hgphibbs]

Hello out there in Forum Land:

I have a quick question. It doesn't exactly deal with the Tar Beast, but it does deal with multi-player battles in general.

While I know that I'm far from the top ranks, at last peak, I breached the 141st mark, I just can't believe how some of you can manage to dish out so much damage in a fight. Now that I have the 3 black octagon gems, I can usually average between 5,000 and 10,000 points by the end of the fight, but I routinely see someone who has dished out 30,000 and more points. How do you do it? Is there some trick to it or is it processor speed or what?

Before the gems, I would be lucky to hit the 4,000 mark if I was in from the first swing, and I would just love some pointers on how to improve my performance, and damage. I do know that a number of you have raffle weapons, but they don't appear to make that much difference in these totals, the weapon is as often as not my own Shimmering Silver weapon.

So, any hints? Any sage advice from the old timers? Any suggestions from the road wise?

Thanks,
Harry (ryan McBride

[spencer]

Processor or connection speed is a big chunk of it...the less total time you spend clicking the more rounds you're going to get in. And some people are very anal about not wasting any time between rounds...go heal and wait until you can run back in...refresh yourself instead of waiting for the screen to refresh...lastly, sometimes the big totals will be from people who fight a lot of the fight alone...they are the only one there...when others start to join they have accumulated a lot of damage already.

[texlaw1992]

Sometimes an MP starts with only one or two people hacking away for a while, with others joining closer to the end. That's often the case when you see two or three people with very high damage scores and the rest with significantly lower scores.

[thingirl]

Click fast. And have a fast conection. And be very anal about getting back on time. (I almost always go back while I have to wat 3-5 seconds or more. :))

And the BOGs really help too.

[shadowblack]

And above all - RANDOM LUCK! Randomness affects things more than anything else:
- if you keep getting killed by enemy specials you do no damage, and the damage each special does is random
- the damage of the BOGs: doing 6000 or more damage is one thing, doing 2000 or less is another
-- there's also the little detail that you do no damage when you get stunned by enemy special, even if you take no damage (I'm looking at you, Talderus!)
- Battle Rage, especially if it activates for 10+ rounds
- getting extra damage from your weapon's special
- the duration of the engagement - 25 rounds is one thing, 37 rounds is another
- crappy rolls - if you keep rolling 5 or less you will do hardly any damage; if you keep rolling 18, 19 and 20 you will do some serious damage

[Clubfinance]

Although what's mentioned makes a little difference, don't forget to never use a power in an MP battle! If you do it stops you getting the high damage attacks.

I was trying all different techniques until I found out about not using powers and it was only really this that made a real difference!

[hgphibbs]

Thanks for the advice everyone. Although some things still escape me.

I have been on hand when the first blow is thrown, but the massive point differences even between first and second can be significant. I can understand how processor and connection can make a difference, and of course, if the character is stunned, he's not going to do damage. (I try hard to leave Red Thorn alone as he can knock me from 195 to 0 in about 5 rounds if I'm really unlucky). I can usually jump from combat and back in within a few seconds, and I've gotten a cycle down to about 15 to 20 seconds. I seem to average 600-900 with a cycle, as much as 6,000 with a lucky black octagonal gem(x3). I'm just blown away that I'm still managing at best a third of that high schore on a goo day. My calculations of what damage I've done and the final totals don't always line up, but that may just be my math skills.
I'm not sure that I understand the comment about magic. Do you mean only during the actual combat, or while you're waiting to return as well? Is it better to "Rest here" than to use Restoration and reenter the battle?

Speaking of the Black Oct's, what happens if I have 3 of them, and try to reenter the portal again? Anything useful? I have over 10 of the blobs that I don't really know if I should dump them in the idol or not.

Thanks for the help! I appreciate it.

[thingirl]

I'm not sure that I understand the comment about magic. Do you mean only during the actual combat, or while you're waiting to return as well? Is it better to "Rest here" than to use Restoration and reenter the battle?

When you are in combat, do not use powers. One of my favorite tricks is to "Rest here" and use Restoration while resting. Speeds it up a little.

Speaking of the Black Oct's, what happens if I have 3 of them, and try to reenter the portal again? Anything useful? I have over 10 of the blobs that I don't really know if I should dump them in the idol or not.


Once you have 3 BOGs, you can go back through for combat XP. I would put the blobs in if only to get the general XP. Also, once you deposit 8, you don't need more to enter.

[Oldschool]

First since I think I missed it on your first post, so....

Welcome to the forum hgphibbs.

While this is mentioned in game it's easy to overlook - if you flee before 20 rounds any damage you've inflicted won't count. And a couple other things.
Whatever damage you inflict on the killing blow round only counts if you actually score the killing blow. And if you do score a killing blow make sure to save asap. While damage xp won't be lost if your character is slain or you reload the AS&P award for the KB will be.

Sorry to all those who were working hard on Ulgror, and I got the KB with only fighting one round; when I went in he still had 10% health left, so I didn't think I could do enough damage with one BOG to finish him off . . . Didn't realize there were so many people working on him.

[Chareos]

Hi all, back for a little while before hopefully being back for good :-)

Just fought this for the first time and was happy to see that he is an elemental (+10MR with THE MIGHTY SKYRAGE HAMMER), once got five tar men before engaging and second time seven! Is that usual?

Picked up two blobs of tar and put them in the altar but then what?

Cheers for any info and hopefully I will be back on the boards a bit more regularly soon.

[Oldschool]

Good to see you back Chareos - glad to hear 'bout the impending "for good".

The Tar Blobs are used to get the Black Octagonal Gems. Once you deposit around 8 blobs in the altar you gain entry into the portal. However for the portal to be opened there has to be 200 blobs total (a community effort) deposited. Then the portal stays open for a random? amount of time. Each 200 blobs opens it once which allows you to get a BOG (3 max). But even after you get the max BOGs the portal is a good source of combat xp the same as the lower ruins are a good AS&P mini grind.

Suffice it to say the BOGs are an uber MP weapon and have at least one use in single run content.

Once you get your eight or so blobs deposited you may want to hold any additional ones so that you can take advantage of their numbers towards the 200 since the portal only stays open for a limited time.

Edit: The tar men en route are normal but appear to be random.

[Chareos]

Woo Hoo :-)

You managed to deal 1,284 points of damage to Ulgror before you were forced to retreat.

Suddenly...

On the ground nearby you spot a small, quivering mass of black tar. Much to your horror, you note that the blob of tar bears a disturbing resemblance to a horror-stricken human face.

Despite your initial misgivings, you reach down and take possession of the tar blob.

ITEM You've acquired: Quivering Blob of Tar

Yippee Kai Yay Muddyfunster ! Also managed to pick up seven blobs of tar! Thanks very much for the help Oldschool et al. I noticed there's no combat commentary of the last three attacks any more. Is the GM going to fix that?

EDIT: Ty Oldschool guess I'm too slow on the typing too lol

[Oldschool]

No problem I deleted mine - after all KB and TD gives you first posting rights as far as I'm concerned. ;)

Again - double congrats. Always interesting to see Ulgror's battle results since rounds don't post in game like the others.

EDIT: Re: combat commentary.

Ulgror's mechanics are different than the others and the GM mentioned MP updates fairly recently so that's anyone's guess.

[Chareos]

Just a quick one...

I have now added 10 blobs to the pot and it is currently on 154. How do you know when it reaches 200? Do you have to keep going there and checking? I wonder, because if the 'portal' is only open for a short period of time there seems to be a fair chance that one could miss the opportunity????

[Oldschool]

Unfortunately you're correct. There's no way besides checking. However this may help. If it's close and you post the numbers here or in the Sword Island thread folks that may be holding blobs might dump theirs in.

Good luck. Also don't know if I was clear on my earlier post but the individual entry of eight or so is a one time thing unlike the 200 community pot.

[Chareos]

Cheers mate, yes I understood that part :-) Thank goodness for that lol
