    New system works great!  Everyone at an IDOC can get items.

    The getting rid of Vet rewards and deeds is the bad part.  Which is separate from the new mechanics of how items are distributed.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    yea then did not want to hut for them any more or time them. then did not have time to do both.we try it and its not working, price are sky high and people are quiting the game. no one spenting 500 bucks to come back to a game, 150 1plt for a home 2-3p for a  suit. with no guilds and noting to do. ranger clocks 175m used to 20. i can list 100 items then were 5-25m now 100-175m now. no one going to do that. new players are like um no bye.  old way items cheap and keep people a round. its up to here make $$$ or lost people and game go's a way.

    If the Devs would have just banned the IDOC scripters and gold sellers (generally one and the same) instead of hurting EVERYONE, then this situation wouldn't exist. Just my opinion of course.  ;)
    If you sell UO items for R.L. $$$, you need to quit playing UO , and get a BETTER R.L. JOB!

    New method leaves it up to chance as to what you get.  Everyone has an equal chance of getting something good.  Much better for my player.  Under old method my player was lucky to get anything.  Don’t do many idocs or care much about them.  Game has already lost to many of the players that helped me along when I was just starting out.  Don’t think the idocs change had much to do prices increasing on my shard.  Prices on key items unnaturally dramatically increased as did the number of those items for sale at the much higher price over a very short period.  Pretty sure this occurred long before the idoc change.

    I actually agree with Pawain on this.

    The new system is working and working great. Before you had a handful literally sucking everything up into their packies within 30 secs or less. Sure, they now have bots that follow each other and get alot but they no longer get all. The old way I did few idocs cause it was no fun waiting hours to get goza mats and plants. Now, there are many idocs at which I have filled my backpack. Just a few days ago, I got a large rubble palm tree. I NEVER would have gotten it the old way. Is the new way perfect? No. Is it better for the general population? Yes.

    The extreme housing cost is an Atlantic problem. A lot of people play Atlantic cause they say it's the only full shard with people doing things. Well with so many people there 'doing things' of course housing will be scare and expensive there. There are other shards with cheap to even free housing. (And we even have players that do things on these shards!)

    I can never agree with deleting the vet rewards. What was the reason again. 

    Ranks the top in my list of worst decision ever made in UO history on par with Shard Bound. 

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    Actually the vet rewards would get deleted before
    IF they touched the ground when the house fell.
    (all ground floor vet rewards would poof)

    the other stuff would hang in the air
    and you could grab it, if you were standing in the right spot.

    =============

    I don't like that they made them all deleted now
    And of course, all the stackables
    because it made them outrageously overpriced now
    example: 60K shadow ingots for 50M now 
    (I remember when I thought 6M was too high)

    but I do love that you have a chance to get stuff from an IDOC now

    The new system work perfect. We dont need Idocperson back. The scripters are mad,because now they cant gate their 10 toons and vacuum the place, now at least everyone get something.

    As with the real world prices don't go up due to just one cause.

    Inflation can't be traced to just one thing. To my thinking IDOCs aren't a real cause.

    For example the increases in the price of shadow is more likely fewer people running mining bots or that pirate ships don't have large amount of low to mid range ingots.

    few things happened that cause the inflation

    They Nerfed loot of high end Legendaries
    They Nerfed Roof
    The fact that all resources and rewards are gone from Idocs
    Everything now is Shard Bound

    I think they want to bring crafting back and since they have no idea how, may as well nerf all mobs and drops to make all loot similar to crafted.

    Resources are easier to get with pirating so can't blame that ...
    Acknowledgment and accountability go a long way...

    There's only one thing that disappointed me with the changes that were made and that was the decision to have soulstones poof.

    Deleting souls is just plain wrong for so many reasons. So many have gone eventually back to their owners. When you think of the items that don't poof and the lack of importance of those items why the heck pick on soulstones? That makes absolutely no sense to me.

    Yeah,  agree. @Mesanna, we really need to talk about deleting veteran rewards and soulstones.

    If you are not aware. Some of our production shards are heading towards a "clean install". Very soon it does not matter even if you decide to reinstall an entire shard since... there was basically nothing worthy left after the last player is gone.

    @steven

    Not sure I understand what do you mean, by "hell hound mount" or "deed box".... in what ways are these 2 associated with IDOCS if I may ask ?

    only thing u need to add to that is the scripter's place ever one in uo. no one beats them. so them 5 things have kill uo.  bring back old legendaries, make roof and even old peer less better loot. bring back vet rewards at lest in idocs, dont make shard bound stuff dumb, make home placement fair.(stone up for 2 hours get your one ticket per acct. end of 2 hours winner gets plot.) u do this and uo will be great again. SO Make UO Great again . oo and fix vs went u can. that thing is buggy as hell

    Most of your complaints pertain only to ONE shard. On any other shard you can place a house at the regular NPC price. I have never paid for a vet reward - I claim them by being a veteran player. 
    Furthermore. Developers don't set prices, except on npcs. Player set prices. Less greed would help the economy considerably.

    ever thing u say is right, but some people live off gold sells and item sells for cash here in the game, then do any thing to cheat and raise prices to make more cash. low prices on ever means no cash for them. but went developers make stuff harder to get or just poof it all together ( vet rewards from idocs) or make stuff shard bound. then can change that kind of stuff

    The new IDOCs are way better than the old way. Price of vet rewards is ok, get 100m to 220m selling a reward for playing one year. Now players that chop trees can make more than 100k for 60k in boards. If they cant put soulstones or shard shields back in owners bank then they need to get deleted. I really like the new idocs and i hope everyone on every shard goes to as many as they can.

    Yeah it's great that they deleted vet rewards ONLY because they were having problems with them packing and sticking in your pack on test.  I was there through all the testing.  Vet rewards would have never been taken out had they packed up right and stopped getting stuck in peoples packs. Kyronix backtracked the next day when they removed them on test and said they were taking them out because that was the general consensus of the people at the last rl meet up. And I was also ask why I thought I was entitled to them anyway, to which I answered same reason why I'm entitled to everything else that drops on the ground.....they stopped paying their bill, I didn't.    So taking vet rewards out was a happy side effect of a rushed patch.   People still run scripts, I know of 3 different ones. One cycles thro the items at Uber speed while the toon is hidden...u can literally see it..any gm or dev could see it..  now the newest one can target barrels with specific items.. example, say the item they want is a deed " because that's all I can remember the I'd for" they simply put in the 3 letter I'd TVH and the scrip scans and finds the barrel with that item....now will they get it with multiple people hitting, who knows but their odds are good with 20 of their own bots smacking it...so look no matter what they do scripters gonna script cause it's just the easy thing to do and because their either gonna get away with it, or they will just change the system again and they will find another work around. Because it's always the same people and nothing ever happens to them ....and these same people still hold huge stocks of vet rewards and resources from the way idocs use to be..and with those no longer dropping in idocs, the same people that everyone's complaining about are still the same people controlling prices on everything... I swear I wonder some times if our team is just blind to common sense or if they have something to gain from all this ......    But yeah my last rant of the year, I'm gone till fall....y'all have fun
  • MerusMerus Posts: 656
    Dixie is absolutely right on why Vet rewards get deleted… the team was too lazy or incompetent to fix them correctly.  The idea that other players aren’t entitled to other accounts vet rewards is complete BS since the vast majority of vet rewards aren’t account bound, as such there is absolutely no proof that the account whose house fell actually claimed those rewards instead of buying them for gold or $.

    I would advocate that all of the items be added back to the barrels correctly.
