I think this would make idoc events much better:

Refresh - Demolition: random time 30-35 days
slightly stage: 1-2 days
somewhat: 9-11 days
fairly: 9-11 days
greatly: 9-11days
Idoc: 1h-3h
awaiting status: removed if possible

this will have following effects:
-pks cant get in the last stage opening gate and take over whole idoc without much fighting
-ppl cant script idoc´s demolition
-no more time wasted clickin the sign without scriptin
-more activity at idocs
-no bored ppl at idocs
-more loot for new players
-"fake" idocs that gets refreshed impossible

Honestly this idea sounds like a recipe for more horrible boring idocs.

No way to tell when it will fall = blues only at the idoc. No way reds can hold down an idoc for 1-3 hours.

IMO idocs aren't meant to be 'events' where new players go to sit in silence for hours in hopes of getting rich quick.

Idocs should be for high level players and groups who coordinate to find and monitor them. It should not be scriptable (@Adam and @Bryce both have ideas for this). New players, or players who did not properly monitor the idoc should have to wait longer than those who did. Equal opportunity for all at idocs is bullshit.

The idea of hours of pvp at idocs is a pipe dream. It will never happen unless they can make idocs a 'all gray/open pvp' area. At best you currently get a couple of skirmish type fights, we need massive 10v10v10 type fights!

Go back to the old way (set timers on all stages including idoc [MAYBE a 15-30 min window for idoc] and take away the ability to script world runnin/sign checking.

Boom: solo players and organization can compete with the big zergs, full out war style pvp before the drop, no more being forced to sit for hours doing nothing.

I can personally think of a better system but nobody would listen so what I have to say is the current system is better than the old system, so there aren't any complaints from me about it. With the current system one can actually get a few, or if lucky even more than a few IDOCs in 1 single day, which was next to impossible unless all IDOCS fell almost back to back. The 8 hour max time is nothing, it's literally a breeze, walk in the park compared to the 25 hour thing so I'm cool with it.

As an IDOCer from the beginning of time I would say no to 'more fun less boring IDOCs', an IDOCer surfs youtube and does other things, no need to stare at the screen, for a true IDOCer who is one with the universe can sense where the IDOC is located and sense when it's about to fall, no timer needed, heheh.

I've gotten up to 5 w/the old system, but I'm a solo idocer, never been a gate idoc guild in type of player, i joined a noob idoc guild once, wasn't worth sticking around, they cause more problems than they solve, they pretty much announce to the whole shard here's an idoc let's have a pvp battle, and it becomes all about the pvp battle and not the idoc, that's the brute way to go about it but isn't my style, because while they're busy pvping I looted 3 idocs and they had no clue, my way is the more profitable way been doing it for 16yrs, on average though, average, I choose not to have books stacked to the max dedicating my life to idocs so 1 a day is average w/ old system, got 2 in 1 day on here on 2nd day not even trying, just barley walking around for a few mins, new system is good, the pros outweigh the cons from what I've looted.

I agree new system is good for people who just go around randomly sitting at idocs for hours and hours.

It just sucks because that is the only option. Can't time them for shit so sitting for hours is mandatory. I like being able to put in the time on my own schedule before the house is idoc.

i agree with karl i love having exact time and dont mind putting in the work to get them.

The new system benefits only 1 type of person. lazy people who have alway sat at idocs for 8hrs + and cry way to much on forums when organized groups/solo players show up in last 5 mins and take the loot.

eh you can partially time it, 4 random hours isn't that bad when sometimes it ends up being 1 second i haven't seen one go beyond 2 hours yet but i'm new to the shard, so i haven't been waiting around 'hours and hours' yet, 2 tops so far, not bad, i've looted about 6 idocs in the past 3 days, but 2 did have pks, but i like when pks rez you after they pk you, and don't rez pk, they are actually nice, pretty rare to see that on other shards

4 hour window is insanity, 2 hours only slightly less so.

Need a small window. People have lives. I mean unless it's just catering to unemployed 20 hour a day players, in which case I'm not gonna be involved anyways.

Keep the random timer at 4 hours. Timing IDOC's is way too easy.

Hey Gaylen exactly the type of person i meant you have always just shown up and camped it for 8 hrs even when it could be timed to the min it suits your playstyle perfectly you can just camp it with 20 odd people.

On a side note i guess you have time to practice your badass raps on the 247 mumble server.

So hang on we dont have time for 8 hr random timers due to rl/jobs/familys you have plenty of time to camp/play UO for 8 hrs a day in your parents basement on your parents ISP drinking beer paid for by your parents and we need to go outside?

hahahahaha

oh and less insults please raged you already cried so much you had R&F removed.

At least i know why you always take the piss out of me and call me a "sad donator" for supporting the server its cos your parents draw the line at buying dono coins for you?
