  • Tram despise is the worst revamp of all the dungeon revamps so far, that being said, some of the rewards are still nice though..    I'd rather the first 2 levels in despise have something else to do in it besides 'possess pets' to fight the boss on …
  • Mariah said: I don't think that will be the case. The bard skill data we have is that a slayer instrument increases your chance to bard the creature by 20%. It would be interesting to see if the figures stacked while attempting to bard a cre…
  • Garret said: P.S. it is almost 50% for arachnid for me so if it bug would be cool to see compensation xD if the damage bonuses stack (they do for weapons)  blood ele + demon would work on the Dark Father in doom, due to a bug. specific…
  • fey slayer works on cu's too. honestly, the 'best' versions of these instruments would be a super slayer with an additional slayer under the same group as the super slayer.* for exampleReptile SlayerDragon Slayer(This assumes double slayers stack fo…

  • Mumbles said: I personally have enjoyed the fruits of their labor so I can appreciate the lack of enforcement by our dev team.      I'm sure the people running the bots appreciate the lack of enforcement as well.
  • keven2002 said: I played a few weeks ago and saw someone teleporting in a way I definitely can't do so I asked him how he did it and he straight up said "I'm using Oxxxx" while we were in the game and we don't know each other. People know th…

  • Cookie said: I believe, players being forced on foot, would actually raise the excitement level, rather than the current being ganked to hell lameness. An EQ spell, has a much slower cast time than Bolas, and gives a lot of warning unlike m…
  • Cookie said: sibble said: Can you explain the scenario where you think an EQ-type spell that dismounts every one would be helpful to you? If you're 1v2 and you go on foot to attempt to dismount them both (yikes), spell goes off and the…
  • It'd be funny for a bit, but it also wouldn't take long for scripts to be updated, so the bots would end up doing better than legit players again. I say that, because in some instances, a 'pirate' npc isn't exactly easy to see when you've got severa…
  • Pawain said: Let vet rewards drop in IDOCs again. Statues are my favs.    Agreed,   they made 'reasonable' and 'fair' changes to the idoc system, then removed some of the best items you could hope for when participating in idocing.      the…
  • loop said: Genuine question: What's the purpose of PVP in UO today? Like, what exactly is at stake? Isn't the "real" PVP on private shards anyway? I'm legitimately ignorant here. The only thing I know about PVP today is what I see in general…
  • there's a big difference between your opinion (what you think happened) and what actually happened.     you count everything as a  dexer unless it's the template you're playing for some reason. most everyone else, would say,  If it uses Magery+Eval-…
  • Cookie said: CovenantX said: The only time in history parry was nerfed was in Publish 46.and it was only nerfed by adding the stat requirements of 80 dex to gain the full benefit. It was done in order to reduce the effectiveness of Mag…
  • The only time in history parry was nerfed was in Publish 46.  *publish 43.  -46 had evasion cooldown/spec toggling while casting & tactics requirement for weapon specials. and it was only nerfed by adding the stat requirements of 80 dex to gain …
  • Cookie said: you must be the only one who thought it became more fun. i think losing pure mages was bit of a killer blow to pvp tbh. except now that you can easily reach 100+ dex without giving up HP or enough mana to make the difference, A…
  • Pure mages were all over the place when Parry was nerfed for mages the first time, wtf are you talking about lol
  • pvp became much more fun when parry got nerfed, that's what happened.     I mean, are we just going to keep adding new properties like Sparks & Splintering, until the only  'dexers' that are relevant are ones that stack 40 damage ticks worth of …
  • Cookie said: CovenantX said: Cookie said: Deleted. Trust me, you wanted this deleted.    I didn't want it deleted, cause now I don't know what your response was/would have been! ahh, the note was not to you, it was to the…

  • Cookie said: I do not think we can keep talking about Cheating anymore. It is progression in todays world. as long as it's against the ToS, and players can be banned under any part of what these programs allow you to do, clearly there's a …
  • Cookie said: Personal Favourite was Mondains Legacy - I had always felt my magic users and archers should be elves. The Peerless bosses were cool. Second favourite, Stygian Abyss. Underworld, and Stygian Abyss are in fact a work of art with …
  • Smoot said: @ Kyronix the issue with giving out the best armor in the game for extremely cheap / easy, is that no one bothers to do actual day to day content anymore.  why would someone loot legendary gloves, chest, arms, etc now that we h…
  • Pawain said: I turned a Bone helm into a Dragon Helm and it still gives me 3 LMC extra.   Maybe it just has to be the same basic type of material and it takes the original items LMC properties. yea, it does keep the base material as far …
  • Pawain said: CovenantX said: an Orc Helmet would be bone armor, +3 lmc if 'mage armor' is removed. Yes I used wrong number.  Least you get 2 more LMC compared to metal.  Should have said it that way. So, you could turn it to a Bon…
  • an Orc Helmet would be bone armor, +3 lmc if 'mage armor' is removed.
  • I couldn't agree more, the bots need to be dealt with. the game would be so much more fun if everyone had to play by the same rules. or face the consequences for breaking those rules.. Personally, I'd rather cheating (all forms) not be legal a…
  • Violet said: The only real problem with this event is all the blatant multi-boxing in the void pool, but that has been an increasing problem the past several years.    I agree,  I feel like the drop-rate for this and even the previous even…
  • When is the ban hammer going to drop on multi-boxers or has multi-boxing become legal? cause it sure as hell looks like it's tolerated.
