    Thanks for your cookies, I fed them to my dog. I try to be positive, cause nothing's more annoying than some grown ass men whining publically about an online video game.

    So will these boss monsters be there all the time. Or spawn randomly with kills?
    Also are they going to take a team effort or will a tamer with two drags do the job?
    Second Halloween here and first I was just getting going. Any input it appreciated. Thanks.

    Random spawn (kinda, spawn is pretty fast and chainable historically speaking)

    A tamer takes a long time. Pet damage has been nerfed. It is doable but a dexxer with a slayer is "faster". A tamer/dexxer hybrid with a slayer is arguably optimal.



    There are many ways to go about hunting the overland spawn (in this case graveyards). The gist of the game is absorb damage, deal damage, and bug out or fight other other aggressive players.

    Lol so sounds like doing it solo isn’t the best option.

    Awesome @Chris!!

    Are the dungeon gates already spawning at cemeteries? I went out for a while this morning and killed a couple of bosses and several mini-bosses and no gate popped up. So not sure if unlucky or inactive.

    Note: The dragon dyes can only be used on the darker variety of dragons. Only if the dragon is bonded. They can also be found inside the high risk new instanced dungeon as very rare drops from certain creatures. More details will follow in the patch notes.

    Found a few small things to balance out before the patch. So going to get it finished up in the morning.

    http://uorforum.com/threads/night-of-horrors-2-the-city-of-the-dead-event-guide.37479/

    As for the questions about development. We have committed to our holiday events since the first year of this server. Every year at least 2-3 months of my time is devoted to updating, altering, and changing these events to provide new experiences for our players. Halloween for instance is on a 2 year cycle. This is the 4th major update our Halloween celebrations have received.

    Given the success of our St Patrick's day event we wanted to take a great opportunity to build on that and provide a nice high risk expansion to what is normally a fairly safe and profitable experience for the average player. A great deal of the top tier rare spawns were moved into this new system to provide a nice balance between risk and reward.

    And much like the Christmas expansion last year we have high hopes that this new system, with only minor tweaks year to year will have a shelf life of 5 years.

    The other projects will get done as soon as I can manage. I've been here for 6.5 years without much more than a week break at any point. I love you guys and this place and am not going anywhere. Things just take time and depend on my ability to psych myself up for the work involved.

    That said I am looking forward to getting the new dungeon live so I can return to actually sleeping and seeing my wife.

    The plan is for that to go live tomorrow. Given the slight delay on getting it running I will let it run for a few extra days longer than planned.

    I finished the rough guide for the new event as well.
