  • AlreadyDead said: I share the sentiment that it'll be rubbish if shards are treated differently but if shards aren't getting equal content then there's even more reason for everything to be shard bound due to different playing fields.    y…
  •   Taken from another thread... Jepeth: Will the upcoming treasures event in the Fire Dungeon be available in both trammel and felucca on all shards? Mesanna: no sir Mesanna: Fel on a very few shard Jepeth: I assume Atlantic again for s…
  • Nerve doesn't break unless you box it late in the paralyze, If you box too early in the paralyze, it doesn't break until the duration expires. Paralyzing blow, Infused Throw & Riding Swipe from wrestling or any other weapon in the game, breaks …
  • just a pic of all equip-able rewards from This event.
  • quite a few interesting rewards on the list.. but since the items are shard-bound, why are the reward weapons "Antique"?
  • 5/5 properties you want (Imbued), made more powerful by crafting/looting/reforging a base item with 1 or more over-capped mods, below 5 total properties. vs  X/8 (weapons & jewelry) or X/13 properties. (Armor - counting resistances) randomly…

  • LearnMe said: You also still have refused to touch on why you will cry parry and evade constantly, but aren't in favor of an ability that will take away someone's ability to parry and evade while attempting it.  You're only argument is "SWORD…
  • Harpy, because of the sound they make when they hit something  -it annoys just thinking about it.
  • George said:And as for your 2h-weapon logic, and why something that doesn't exist (2s STUN, not PARA, STUN.) shouldn't dictate nerfing something that does exist (Parry influenced by bushido). And this is crazy BUT. Imagine that instead of giving…
  • Cookie said: CovenantX said:   it should break no matter the timing, as long as you're 'stunned/paralyzed' when the 'break is attempted.    It's not the case with any other specials in the game that I'm aware of.   So we are ad…
  •  @George     You (and others) seem to have implied nerve-strike  is no different (in terms of the stun/para mechanic) than any other special with paralyze affects,  I point out that it's not the same because it's unbreakable at times.  it'…
  •    Do you want me to record the same thing using a different machine? George said: In my experience when a box doesn't break a nerve strike,   That's all I was looking for.  acknowledgement from an opposing view.
  • both of them sounds were exactly the same...  the Dser was not using UOAssist.I didn't hit my other character in the video, but why would i bother lying about this?  I kinda feel like there's some more just grasping at straws going on again, but w…
  • One thing..  if # 1 proposal is being considered. it might be worth while to make 'Assassin Honed' count as 1 property.  Bane seems to also be a property that doesn't count against imbuing's # property limit cap.
  • George said: In my experience when a box doesn't break a nerve strike, it's because the box was used too quickly and UO is very subjective to problematic latency, both with high and low pings. Also, @ CovenantX could you try the test again b…
  • sibble said: Which shard and what is/was your ping to the server you were testing on? (for reference) Also, can you do test without UOA? The reason I ask is because this message pops up when you hit the box: at the exact time where the "yo…
  • Cookie said: The difference being, he did it by hand, and you used a macro, assuming you are both recording truthfully. Are you sure there is not something wrong with your macro?     I used UOAssist, trap box macro (the same macro in both r…
  • here's one demonstrating both breakables & unbreakable nerve strikes..https://streamable.com/b8cbcs as soon as I move, that's when the stun has either ended or has broken, as if there aren't "sparkles" showing you I'm staying stunned despite tak…
  • LearnMe said: https://streamable.com/4xaa3v I'm sure I'm violating some rule by posting this vid in response to something in a closed thread, but I think it's important to qualify the level of understanding (or lack thereof) that some of the…

  • LearnMe said: It's cheap and easy entertainment for me.  I knew the bias was there, but I didn't realize they didn't even understand simple mechanics that have been in the game for over a decade.  Kinda takes the fun out of it     That's e…
  • Cookie said:I'm not sure that argument really works.Mostly unbreakable? It either is or it isn't. In my experience, I trap box out of it every time.When you say mostly, what percentage are you quoting {Edit - I note you are saying 80% unbreakabl…
  • Lynk said: I PvP every single day against people who nerve strike.  You can easily box out of nerve strike.  The fact that you don't know this is really concerning considering how much you comment in PvP threads. Well, you clearly don't k…
  • there would probably be more discussion of this topic if the rules for UO were enforced... but most people just use a program to keep the night-sight effect without wasting a mod some  where in their suit instead of doing it the intended way.

  • Lynk said: Cov you lost credibility when you said nerve is an unbreakable stun.  It is breakable.  Just stop you look silly.    Test it, you'll see it's Mostly unbreakable.   you never noticed why most people don't box out of it?   please…
  • Cookie said:Haha. It's really frustrating isn't it I cannot argue with a block of wood without wanting to burn it    Trust me, you have no idea.
