  • Curious interpretation on whether the animated undead are undead.  Noteworthy the generated animated undead generally seem to match up with those types that are subject to "command undead". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_test
  • Anybody using animate undead, per #1, will interfere with the targeting abilities of other players in the area.  There are some good ways to use the undead. A variation of #1 is summoned rising colossus.  Similar notoriety and bad target handling (…
  • New door craft-ables should be added.  (requested in the homes subforum a while back).  it's indeed strange that most custom castles/etc have open doorways, and the current limited craftable doors look janky at best when placed in those spots. The …
  • It seems that pets are readying themselves for combat by casting beneficial spells on themselves like agility, strength, etc. The question is, are the pets doing this needlessly (wasting mana or a spellcasting move) before the buffs wear off?  If s…
  • You want: "Target by type" -> select instrument in pack "Use Targeted Object" Note the color/hue of the instrument needs to match what was selected at "Target by type".  (This can be used to good effect, e.g. if you are using flutes of renewal, …
  • Plenty of suggestions have been made in this forum to reduce the time-grind factor.  e.g. things like not requiring the roof rooms to be rekeyed everytime (say valid for 4-8 hours), etc.  Those suggestions have been met with crickets so far. The ti…
  • If there is "pay to win", examples are already called out here: https://forum.uo.com/discussion/comment/66619/#Comment_66619 Not sure what the objective of this new thread is. A alternate question is why doesn't the pet coloring totem works for C…
  • It'd be strange if your neighbor gave you $50 for a defective cable modem leased from an internet provider.
  • 3/31/2022 - had a philips wooden steed go to the player backpack, rather than the bank.  Stealth bugfix since 3/25, or just chance?

  • I think the broader question is what is the best ways for customers/players to get bugs acknowledged, "fixed", or affirmatively closed "won't fix", "not a bug", "need more info for repro"< etc. I've brought up bugs here, in meet and greets, and …
  • Arnold7 said: Also, think bird and bear slayer books are quite rare.  See the talismans for sale but don’t ever recall seeing a spellbook.   See my earlier comment re: town invasion should be enabled again, for weekends periodically.  That…
  • PlayerSkillFTW said: The Salivas are not vulnerable to Bird Slayer. They possess the Conductive Blast ability, which halves your Energy Resist, they can Teleport to you (even over walls) when they *flap wings*, and they will also drain your M…
  • Archangel said: Arroth_Thaiel said: Yeah, I tried in default and it wouldn't accept multiple filters. At least for me, maybe some else can get it to work. don't you get the option "add filter" after having added one already?  In…
  • This is still happening as of today, 3/25/2022. This was brought up at a meet & greet several months ago, said it would be fixed next publish, though that hasn't happened.
  • Another case, seen a few times now: 11. Client crashes.  This happens around luna gate on some shards, and at other random times while playing normally.
  • If you're using EC, make sure the mobile bars is activate, the boss simply pops into the list there, and you can target it, single click (to keep distance up), etc. You can also set an object handle filter, name for the boss, so ctrl-shift only bri…
  • Use EC, it tells you the distance to the selected target.  Single-click the boss, and watch it's status.  For melee, distance of 0 or 1 and you're fine.  Learn the distances for other things like magery, throwing, etc, as well as note the non radius…
  • Try staying on the outskirts of the spawn area, to avoid getting swarmed and trapped. That also helps to avoid sampires that aggress the whole screen dragging a dozen+ of those behind them.  The swarm of saliva usually gets "abandoned"...
  • Use a "bear slayer" book (*) on the various bears at the spawn. use a "Bird Slayer" book (*) on the saliva. (*) from the old town invasions, which should be periodically reactivated for weekend fun.
  • "changing server" sounds like an implementation detail.  The above is all from a user perspective.  If it's "changing server", could also add that just wandering around the country side could lead to this, then? I'll also add: 9. Logging out / log…
  • So, here's a list of the cases I've encountered with the command undead followers being deleted: Using moongate, with followers standing next to me, one or two deleted, say 20% of the time.Entering a dungeon, one or two deleted, about 20% of the tim…
  • The UO team should be able to see all the query data-- e.g. what queries users are executing, and which are timing out, and for what reason(s).  This is a case where log data should help direct, if that's really part of the problem/solution. I see …

  • Several issues are covered in that thread.  Anybody can PM me if clarification is needed. At the end of the day, if the paralithodes were made more "usable", as well as matched the current uo.com documentation, all this talk about stray pets underw…
  • Hopefully, the issues covered here get fixed before the whack a mole continues... https://forum.uo.com/discussion/10133/underwater-bugs
  • Perhaps the vendors should just "retire", running off to some far away remote island, abandoning their owner - if they are holding max limit of gold for more than 2 weeks. BTW, is the max limit on holding gold going to adjust upwards to account for…

  • It would be interesting to see some hydras and paragon hydras at this event. Also, is it coming to test center so feedback can be provided on the event and event rewards, before it goes live? Thanks!
  • I think it would be fine if monsters used healing capabilities more aggressively.  Afterall, they have hundreds of higher INT than the lowly players.   With such high powered slayer books/weapons, upping the anti seems fine. The lonely shadowlord u…
