Blades And Shields!!!@!

This just from the UO.com patch notes for origin:

Obsidian Blade 2,500pts
Chaos Shield (from Vanguard) 2,500pts


So, I will be killing more vanguards apparently.

So....basically they threw what they were worth in last minute.

Meaning there was 0 plan for them in the future and they are completely winging it.

Alright.Giggidy.Giggidy.

Are you talking about them being worth 25k on test? I don't think they were just winging it.

I see two possibilities for them making them worth 25k on test.
A. Human Error. An extra 0 in the code happens.
B. They did it so that people on test had something to get the points from, and a lot of points fast on top of incentive to test the changes to the invasion.

Although, it could have been winged. lol I for one am pretty happy with the points being rewarded for the shield/sword, although 25k would have been really nice too!

I agree, this very well may have been their 'incentive' to do the invasion, since a cursed arty would technically not be worth it to turn in because of the shield/sword's high frequency of spawn.

However, the extra zero theory is sound as well. Too much coffee and not enough sleep will lead to some weird occurrences, especially when the coffee stops working.

i believe he meant that they were putting the swords and shields as yet another turn-in instead of giving them an actual use.

Ah ok. I can understand that then. I personally think the "winged" some point values, so thats the direction I was thinking.

Re: Blades And Shields!!!@!

Well, for those of us who don't play on test, no one knew that they would be part of the turn in. This is the first time we have seen them on an official shard patch notes.

And yes, I think they just 'winged' it on this one. I think they said "Wait, we have all these floating around, wth".

Haha, sorry I fail

But, there were a lot of threads around here wondering if we should hoard these items or not. As far as I know, no one had put forth this information yet. I only glance at patch notes, and never for TC. So, I was suprised when I saw this information.
