  • ahh - I missed the end of factions, I quit for a few years, when AOS was launched, so I actually missed its tragic ending, a bit like Barney did.

  • Tim said:That assumes everybody likes PvP. The overwhelming majority of people I've know over the years on UO PvP rarely or go to great lengths to avoid it. Look at the length they have to get the average player to even go to Fel (Luck bonus, doubl…

  • Barney was one of the cleverest opponents I ever met.

  • keven2002 said: Mariah said: I do wonder why there is so much consternation over the sea-based combat. Why do you believe it will be so much worse than the Rising Tide event that first introduced us to beacons? I don't want to get …
  • sibble said: OP suggests new items get added to buff mages, I simply mentioned if you nerf parry mages then I would be OK with it - the thread strayed when you and cookie delved into reasons why parry mages shouldn't be nerfed. I want to …
  • Oreogl said: Sorry for hijacking the thread @ psycho. yes new mage items would be great. Ha. I do agree, more Mage items could be useful - in pvm and pvp, I was just expressing my pvp preference. I'll apologise in guild if I have to.
  • sibble said: Cookie said: No-one agrees the dexxer has no chance vs a parry mage, most players think Dexxers are completely out of control. Then I will end my debate with you here because I'm obviously having a discussion with s…
  • sibble said: Cookie said: That equals - Mages have to stand still to cast. Therefore giving you the chance to be within that 1 tile to hit. We have 1 completely equal trade-off there. The difference is a dexer has to chase the m…
  • sibble said: Cookie said: Except where you give me 1 point - I can give you 5 with no possible response - because, it IS that unbalanced. @ Cookie it's because of the impact of that 1 point where I'm trying to save time by not both…
  • sibble said: Oreogl said: Miss and interrupted are the trade off mechanics. Agreed, it is a trade off mechanic. However, mages can decrease the chance that they are interrupted. Warriors have HCI cap and that's it brother. …
  • sibble said: Cookie said: When you think about the Mage, and the Warrior concept, how do you see it? Do warriors have unlimited stamina, hacking ability and damage output in battle? Do they vastly outperform mages? I believe, in t…
  • sibble said: Cookie said: Mages cannot get anything like as close as warriors do in pvm damage... That's the thing about trying to balance PVP or PVM, one will always affect the other. Yes I agree with you that it's easier for a warr…
  • sibble said: Cookie said: Ask why the mages need parry. I didn't say remove parry completely from mages, I simply asked for a decrease in block chance if you have parry + magery.  This isn't a game breaking change. I'm talking -15% -…
  • Ask why the mages need parry.
  • keven2002 said: Understand where you are coming from Cookie and I'll default to you (and others like Covenent) on what's what for PvP but from what I've seen/read there really isn't any such thing as a "pure" PvP mage anymore. I think they pr…
  • My favourite head item is the Elf Circlet. Royal Circlet even - as this has a jewel in it. And........ any chance of a Back Transmog item - the cloak gets in the way a bit, and the quiver, while nice, isn't the best look for a mage - any chance o…
  • Either way, 90% of what has been mentioned, is Mage PvM gear. Hook's shield, is lovely for pvm for example. The Spellbooks are also great for PvM. Pure Mages could use some upgraded PvP gear. Jewels. Shield. Spellbook for starters. Jewels - The c…
  • creampie said: since everyone is tagging @ kyronix for nothing i will. I really dont think we need to get back old items from past event on this new mini event we need new one please. When you've had about 15 new players join your guild,…
  • @Kyronix - Hi, any chance of adding Solaria's Earrings back into the reward list please. On Europa, we have a drastic shortage of these, they are already selling at 500m a pair, and we have a lot of pvpers back, trying to gear up. And of course the…
  • I had actually noticed you went missing for a few days, I hoped everything was ok. Good luck rebuilding
  • username said: I guess it's not worth discussing the specific topic as we can't. I would like to delve further, but nevermind. Unfortunately the scope of these clients for PVP, well, they extend way beyond that as you've surely seen at the To…
  • username said: Really sad the more I think about it, hope I can be out of this game soon. Already closed 2 accounts last year. We had 10 players join the game from a freeshard, the second they even mentioned pvp balancing. I would stil…
  • Unless you have any proof that removing these clients would 'kill the game' I offer to you that removing these clients would 'save the game' as people that don't PVP, would, and massive amounts of players that have quit due to them would come back. …
  • username said: I understand the EC may have features the CC doesn't that may give it an advantage, but since it's officially supported and not illegal, I don't follow how it's a 'cheat client'. Anyone can download it freely without any risk. …
  • Addressing/disabling/banning of 3rd party clients, part of PVP balances This conversation has to start with Enhanced Client, the original cheat client, that everyone else is only trying to match. So until the Original Classic Client, which looks an…
  • Hello. I'm not going to go onto TC1, because it does not do me much good, I'm not good at testing, I'm a player, I need to see and feel it ingame against real players. So I will only know for real, when it is implemented. In the meantime however, my…
  • @username - pvpers grow orange plants for orange petals by the ton. It's a huge weekly task for me to harvest petals, the garden shears is such a potentially useful item, I did not even think it was worth mentioning it is so good. T Hunting Pirates…
  • Pawain said: I don't PvP but that seems like a very low content thread to base changes on. Not sure if normal pirate hunting and beacon killing will yield hats or are hats only from the pirate brawl. Either way. I need to stock up on arrows…
  • I logged into Discord today, and fell off my chair... This newsletter is doing the rounds, then I get told we have an entire group of pvpers joining us... (New to official UO). I am excited
