  • skree must use 'healing stone' (mysticism) if it makes the healing sound over and over while poisoned, only the first 'use' of the stone would be a noticeable amount healed anyway.. repeat uses of healing stone, heals only a few HP (the hp bar may n…
  • resisting spells reduces the amount of stats you lose from curse (not many npc's cast curse), feeble, weakness & clumsy as well as reduces the duration of debuffs.  you become immune to paralyze (spell) from anything with equal or less eval-int …
  • not a fan of that.. I'm also not a fan of casting focus... at least not in pvp. I do feel like (and I've posted it before) Casting Focus, should spawn in increments of 5-25% (like LRC, as well as the cap 12% be increased to 100%)  But, should only w…
  • I think the only Pay-to-win item in UO (currently) would be the "Forged Metal of Artifacts", -only because there are certain items that have a 0% success chance to enhance without it.I'm sure there are varying degrees of opinion on it, especially si…
  • username said: Direct-to-backpack drops (as far as I'm aware)Allowing them to receive rewards from repeatable quests is inconsistent with current EJ policy. Want to do such activities? Sub up. That's their stance on those already so let's m…

  • Prices haven't been low since like 2004. when you could realistically farm enough gold in a few hours of grinding to buy most items. now if you don't sell items to other players you won't be buying much of anything from anyone.
  • Grimbeard said: Now imagine through all this a new player trying to get into pvp     Yep, won't be much new blood in pvp with the way things are.... most "new pvpers" aren't new at all,  they're the ones that come back from free shards her…

  • Cookie said: @ CovenantX - Who actually 1v1's?    Now?  no one, that's the problem     everyone's got so much damage mitigation, and no one wants to spend 20 minutes chasing bad pvpers.   parry/evade allows you to survive 5+ people, what …
  • Pawain said: If these were not random. A player could find the vendor that buys Apple's for the highest price and make apples constantly and sell them without having to buy and sell from a different vendor. A player would stand at the Zoo …
  • Tim said: As has been pointed out  Companies much larger than Broadsword haven't been able to stop people using "cheater programs"As every good officer knows it's really stupid to give orders you can't enforce and know will be disobeyed. So o…
  • Still small on large monitors and higher resolutions, but... most players don't know about it because most of them haven't been using the official clients for that long.   these guys are just spoiled with features that are not part of the official (…
  • yea, I believe Calvin Crowner (the previous Producer, minus the short stint that Jeff Skalski had) mentioned it more than Mesanna ever has.
  • most of the time when UO.com is down the forums are unaffected.  but I guess some people (i used to) go to UO.com then to the forums from that page since most news is on UO.com before anyone posts it here... anyway. if that's the case, it is annoyin…
  • So, if third-party-programs are detectable, what's the point in going after the books written using the those programs?      I'm 100% sure anyone can immediately write a book and drop it after character creation...    What's to stop them from star…
  • shootgun said: Thanks everyone for their replies. I appreciate your time CovenantX said: I've never had any issues, and depending on what I'm doing I use anywhere from 2 to 10 characters at a time. I can manage 3 monitors at a time, I onc…
  • AmberWitch said: Are you controlling more than 1 character at a time with a single command other than following? (Multiboxing) Are you ignoring 1 or more characters that are doing something while working another character?(Unattended macroing…
  • Urge said: I did forget if SDI works with hit spells on a wep. With the level of items out now it may benefit to know this.     SDI does work with hit-spells on weapons,  but the damage from them is lower due to hit-spells functioning as if th…
  • 10 lmc x2! even with at  just 1x it would be best in slot. Though I do love me some +magery items,  parry would have to be like... completely removed from the F-ing game, to make it better if stuff like that comes into play.   the only skill tha…
  • Urge said: I know they don't want to but pet dyes would be fantastic. Even a pet dye tub.     even if it was a limited selection similar to the 'special dye tub' would be nice, imo.   I'm actually kind of surprised they haven't added that ye…
  • ----- Also, there was literally never a time, when Mages weren't more powerful than dexers.  -except in those instances where a person completely inexperienced with playing a Mage, started to try it.   Btw, it's never been easier to play a mage than…

  • I assume the OP is referring to New Legacy, in hopes that it would be a true "Classic Shard". That's what I was hoping for when NL was announced, but It doesn't seem like its going to be.  (only time will tell, but based on the info we read, it's no…

  • Pawain said: Please explain what was wrong with the last event.  You know players that did not get drops that tried? Where was your feedback or guide on how to get drops in any event?    I don't know anyone who didn't get drops that tried …
  • If there were only some sort of detection system in-place & Terms of Service to guide GMs into what types of actions to take to deal with this issue...  There wouldn't be any need for account-bound, or even shard-bound (though I do like the id…
  • the diminishing returns with evasion should be triggered by every 'evade' regardless of what triggered the *evades*, to me, it feels like the devs are trying to make some 'under-used' spells more appealing, but only to fight the 'meta' template, and…
  • Tim said: Just out of curiosity in what circumstances would you not want to use invulnerability?    Mostly for pvp, suits use refined fire,energy & some poison (mostly to reduce the effect of Corpse skin, since that reduces your cap resi…
  • Oreogl said: hands down still probably one of the better templates, which is probably why most dismounters turned into gargoyles. Guessing it’s still this way.      most dismounters are gargoyles because you can toggle on dismount while …
