    The first Legit prodo shard under BoardSword Studio management.
    So rather than recognise the effort the botters went to, to set all that up - for the benefit of the players, to help get certain items, something you could never be bothered to do, you would rather drag people backwards to your neanderthal world?

    You can have it. :)

    I actually thought, New Legacy would be the place to enforce that, as it was starting from scratch, and would be the logical place to put their efforts.

    If all the shards is too much resource, focus on the 1 new shard.

    I'd like to see a shard without bots. Or to have the scripting software posted here so we all can use them together, fairly. I want a bot too if everyone else gets em.

    More consistent communication and timelines?

    How about a vendor search feature that doesn't lay around broken on the game's one populated shard for years on end while you guys blatantly ignore post after post after post about it?

    It may surprise you, Europa in general is quite a clean shard, apart from a minority.

    Hi Fenneko,

    Thanks for soliciting input. I think the increase in community engagement leading up to the NL release has been a good thing. I hope that 2025 is a very good year for the game.

    For 2025, I would be interested in seeing what the long-term roadmap for the game is, and I would hope it might include:

    -A plan to address issues with, unify, or modernize the official clients. Authorizing the web client was a great step forward. Weirdly, the web client made me appreciate the EC's ease of use even more, which I never thought I'd be saying. I wonder what the team's plan for the clients is going forward?

    -An allocation of resources not dedicated solely to seasonal events. It would be great to see a focused effort on fixing bugs or developing non-combat-oriented content. For example, how about the ability to sell your house design and buy one from others? How about more emotes? Compose your own music?

    -Porting over of quality of life features from NL to the regular shards.

    -Streamlining of the skills to either remove useless ones or make others viable to open up new ways to experience the game.

    -Increased access to UO through other platforms like Steam and Mobile. Perhaps "pocket editions" that let you log on, check your vendors, search vendors, etc.

    -Cloud-based macro settings and character profiles. Perhaps even an official "scripting" agent which allows the creation of complex actions that can be shared and rated by others.

    -Updates to the forum to help with authorization issues.

    ^^^

    Some of these things are beating a dead horse and are either technically infeasible or certainly could not be accomplished in a single year :P. Really, I'm interested in hearing where the team things UO will be in 2030, 2035, 2040, etc. and how they plan to keep such an historic game alive.

    1. I would like to see Classic client improved - it can go beyond even Enhanced client.

    The WebCUO is genuinely nice, and plays well, the FPS and screensize are a fantastic way forward, and have been needed for a long time. I would like the Devs to tick, and allow some of the blocked out options in the interests of moving forwards. It is great they moved the dial a bit there, I would like it moved further.

    I would like to see quality of life features, and customisable features built into the client - especially for pvpers. Tree foliage gets in the way, buildings get in the way. I actually think under the Options tab - a specific PVP option menu should be given, for pvpers who want to adjust their screen to play in a better way for them.

    If the Devs would like more details, without me having to post here, I am happy to feed one thing at a time to them. :)


    2. I would like to see some specific Mage content.
    I would like a mage spellbook with offensive options on it. ;)
    HCI/SSI/Hit Lightning/Splinter or Sparks.


    3. I think the Veteran rewards should be reviewed, and some pulled out, and placed ingame in various places statues to mob drops - some to BOD rewards etc. Again, happy to go through a list :)

    You're pretty much asking for high sea to be free, not a paid booster.. If they do all that.. they wanna get the maximum pool of buyer possible.. Is it a good business move tho?

    It would if they would sell an illegal third party clients or scripts.. never seen a single legit CC user saying good stuff about high sea (just the navigation is..) but i've heard plenty of time how rewarding it was from trammies; usually followed by a pocket alt on the auto heal.

    I see, we got ourselves a real pirate or a commodor?.. I respect that. Anjin san!

    Personally I can drop 200 in a month on PoE.. but i cannot buy high sea.. I'd need better tools to consider this heresy on CC.

    As for ToL.. I don't pay for free stuff  :p

    I would like to see rare's in events stop going to those who have everything cause they have 11 accounts 1 Sampire and 10 Garg throwers. Specially right in front of the EM like it's not obvious and they still get the event rares . 

    A new Xpac with a new map, new monsters, new content and quests new tamable pets with a tie into the origin of the Ultima storyline.

    Guild halls and guild revamp with guild points earned by doing things together that you can buy cosmetics, items, and resources including a Guild BOD system (I.E go kill 10 dragons bring back scales fill the guild BOD and get rewards). Part of this restructure Order vs Chaos making point system for that placing a vendor at both locations 1 for order 1 for Chaos points spent on helpful consumables and guild war items (This simply to appease the pvp crowd) and to spark some fun Role playing guild wars like we used to have back in the day.

    New skills would be nice too I was thinking something like a duel wielding barbarian type, or a summoner (Summoner can be super quest driven like spellweaving hard to get top summons can tie that into some high end game content).

    And my pipe dream having a monthly event where pvp is turned off at the champ spawns just to see how many people show up to that on those special weekends and event weekends in general maybe double drop weekend or increase pet training weekends or double chance taming weekend, city invasion weekends that drop items for clean up points ect ect so many fun weekend ideas that can draw both vets and new players back to the game.

    a new set of doors for the game, ones that only approved apps have keys for

    and if the current Dev team are incapable of ridding us of the cheats, then a complete set of new devs

    sorry guys but you its just embarrassing that bots are so rampant and you are doing NOTHING to stop it

    choose an option below

    1. Incapable of stopping cheating programs
    2. Cant be arsed to stop it
    3. Enjoy your wages to much to do anything to challenge cheating
    4. The boss tell you to allow it

    There is simply NO acceptable excuse for the lack of action against cheating

    I'd like to see y'all get rid of shard bound items/let people turn shard bound items into account bound. It's antiquated and just makes playing with friends more complicated.

    Every year. My new years wish list. Same list every year. Some of these things have been long standing problems of over 15+ years, mostly QOL implementations. But nothing gets implemented, just more things added to the list, so pay attention: 
    • ADD a +skill tool PLEASE for carp/tink/bowcraft or something that allows lower failure repairs. They are only only 100 skillcap so repairing is extremely difficult, fail 3-4 times commonly, compared to blacksmith where you can get 120 skill or 180 repair contracts that NEVER fail. 
    • ADD rental contracts for new commission vendors 
    • ADD auction safe show full name of winning character to owner of safe
    • CHANGE Idocs: items poof or in owners bank. Some system, perhaps they need to pay to recover them when they come back?
    • CHANGE idocs: house plots. Raffle or something, I don't know.
    • FIX VvV items: simple solution make them not usable in tram/no stats
    • FIX Pets path through people/other pets in tram.
    • ADD gold/plat amount visible on character's status bar. I'd even accept the item insurance menu showing actual amounts instead of "1,000,000,000+". Seriously, just show the actual amount, what's the point of not?
    • FIX HP bars more smooth, instead of large % increments, make it every %, and add actual % either overhead or at end of name, ie: "A monster [55%]"
    • FIX Jewelry box itself item count similar to bod books, not 1:1 (ie each piece in the box makes the box itself count as one more item) so you can move and pick up a full one.
    • FIX Context menu trade only works if both chars are on same Z axis 
    • FIX Party bars mess up when a member relogs/adds new
    • CHANGE Transfer timer- at least lower to 18h-20h
    • ADD option to turn off animations (spells mostly) and spell particles
    • ADD Filter for ctrl/shift object handles, monsters/objects/etc.
    • ADD all standard functionality of uoassist added to cc/ec (if not already in ec)
    • FIX Targetting system, filtering, make it better/overhaul
    • ADD 'Toggle Item Insurance' macro for CC
    • FIX vendor search poor performance
    • FIX city lag in invasions, an actual fix, not 'hey spread out'. We need better servers, or whatever is causing the issue, going forward so this isn't an issue in the future.
    Again, most of these are general quality of life features that no one can disagree with, and they have been long standing. A few, like IDOC stuff, ok whatever I'm sure I'll get push back from the bot RMT sellers.

    (I play CC so these only apply to CC, but if it's broken in EC, fix it there too)

    Oh here's one.

    When you buy from a vendor in town, at the bottom of the gump it displays the amount of gold you have on you. But vendors haven't charged the gold in your pack since back when checks were still a thing. They charge from your bank account.

    More than once I've had day one newbies ask me why they can't buy anything even though it says they have money. I have to tell them to go put their 1k in the bank. It's not a huge problem, but it's one that smacks people in the face five minutes into starting the game.
  • UrgeUrge Posts: 1,291
    This one has irked me forever.

    Organize and separate the cast spell macro list instead of just having it all run together. 

    Fix VvV where I can't use the UOstore to hide at the inn and collect points while other people work the town. 

    Auto replenish all resources sold by NPC. There's zero reason these days to have a wait time.

    2025 is near, and we would like to hear your input on what you would like to see in the new year.
    You can suggest a specific bug to be fixed or particular content to be included!
    Post all of your suggestions below for the team to see!
    I suggest a 3 points plan:

    1: You have to close the gap on cheating, make is less profitable, this is pvp and pvm, scripting and clients, idocs looting and placing, everything.

    2: Bug fixing.
    A quick example is having a resource, say arrows in backpack, put half of them in tradewindow with someone, cancel the trade, suddenly the arrows are no long stacksable. Other items ive noticed not stackable I can try stack over and over and woah, on the 6th attempt it suddenly stacks.


    3: If you really want to make something new and fancy, you have vast areas of Malas "sea" that theres room for new content, make a new island, new dungeon, new area for housing and or monsters, new tamables, new items, new puzzles. You can even make a new expansion including new game client, long term project? yes for sure, but something interesting for new/returning players.

    I recall this occurring rarely. My peripherals are Bluetooth (not ideal) so most often it’s an issue on my end.

    Another EC bug that’s been around for years:

    Approaching players will often appear naked and on an invisible mount. I found this to be problematic in Fel because I could not recognize murderers by sight as they came on screen.

    The EC clearly doesn’t factor into the team’s long term plans, so I get that fixing issues with it might be a slog that gets in the way of other things. Now that the team has brought in the web client, it would be great if they could describe their long term posture towards the clients. My concern is that the UO population is an aging one. We don’t need the best graphics etc, but we do need an accessible, charmingly old school, streamlined experience that is available on as many platforms as possible (see OSRS). Would love to see attention paid to reducing the number of clicks for all actions, like what we see with some conveniences on NL.
