  • maybe my first post was too long. you can get looting rights on a thrower, archer or tamer with an imbued suit and jewels and 110 scroll.  cost of gear is really a non-issue. i do agree that lack of knowledge of they system and how to easily get rig…
  • Ive done many many events for a long time now.  So would like to share my thoughts. First off, i loved the old system.  top damager.  UO has very little "endgame" and playing a well thought out character well (one character, not the 10 plus some are…
  • Stumbled across some new construction going on just now. https://gyazo.com/d1683623100a01442654a8d14f177004  
  • @Bleak there was no point to fixing the bamboo tile bug if you can just build the entire first level out of stairs, level it out with stone crafting and build the house on top of that.  essentially all this did was make people build their house up…
  • i also dont mind gear not being equal between caster / noncaster and the different races.  keeps things interesting, and lets item slots hold desirability in global loot. 
  • i dont think id add anything to Despise at this point.  its a weird encounter.  interesting, very popular for about a month after released but in terms of a new item id rather see it in new, newly revamped, or at least more popular content.  seems o…
  • @DJAd one of things i tried but didnt fix it.  it was issue with video card driver.
  • @Tanager thankyou.  its fixed! no more map taking over entire screen.   uninstalled the driver then re-installed with latest driver. didnt try at first, still not great at efficiently doing stuff in windows 10.  i can do stuff just have to work on i…
  • https://forum.uo.com/discussion/3565/trying-to-get-into-ec-again#latest
  • @Mariah yep thats it.   at least i know im not only one having this problem.  i didnt have this issue on my 8 year old computer, now EC runs very fast, but has the map and backpack issues.  Fine if i never move them, but just really frustrating.
  • ok found how to uninstall just the driver
  • Tanager said: Do not update the video drivers... re-install the updated drivers. ill try that next
  • Bilbo said: If you get rid of the Grids, does it go away? Is it all containers or just the bags? Does an empty container do the same thing? Does it matter how many items are in the bag? What happens if you use the scroll up and down on the ba…
  • Tim said: I haven't had any of your problems but could it be a problem with "DirectX" not sure.  things ive tried so far: updating video card driver (nvidia 1070)disabling "grid legacy containers"hitting the "reset UI locks" button in sett…
  • @Captain_Lucky im assuming no issues like mine? not going to mess with it anymore today but does appear to also have problem with backpack.  not as bad as the map tho. http://gyazo.com/2e9cf8ac60ea2d1f3e7354a811c65cb3
  • i would reduce number of items, but increase item intensity for peerless like dreadhorn, lady mel, travesty etc. maybe same intensity as roof or exodus, but only 1/4 the number of items.  i feel this would be a good balance in keeping those encounte…
  • just updated the driver using g-force experience.  no effect, so i could try re-intalling. workaround is i can lock the map, and just never touch it.  but would be nice if i could actually fix the problem.  its just the map that tears like that.  no…
  • Is your hardware acceleration in game options on? I had some tearing issues on my older PC similar to this but only happened when I died. Sure is strange looking. do you know where i could find this?  this is in game settings or video card s…
  • Petra_Fyde said: The best guide I know of was produced by a player named Semmerset.  I got permission to re-produce those tables on the old Stratics site, but the player left, so it is no longer possible to get permission to re-produce them e…
  • i love gargs.  yeah not great for everything but have there place.  no need for mount (yes this is also drawback, but was especially good before pet trained cus)  the bonus 5 hci is nice, dont have to imbue balanced, and overall much cheaper to make…
  • keep in mind speed of killing.  will always trump luck.  in max luck suit you get like one extra roll for quality, and a roll for a few possible more items. if your killing things twice as fast in non luck suit vrs luck suit, your essentially gettin…
  • theres well known bug with all settings where if you change something it cant be changed back.  only way is to delete all your character folders.    id suggest paging a gm if all else fails.  thats what youll be told.  had this issue for the backp…
  • sorry you had to learn this the hard way, i realize not everyone reads warnings, or might have language barrier.   the only way to save your house is to trade it to another account.  depending on how much you value your house and time it took to dec…
  • good luck, (but dont blame me if some break) chances are good, but still possible to break, and theres always rng.  maybe experiment with stuff you dont mind breaking first to get an idea of chances.
  • AmberWitch said: If I understand it correctly you can engrave clothing with text. My personal opinion is that it's a very bad idea. I foresee it being used for all the wrong reasons. i think it'll be fine.  we've had armor, weapon, and s…
  • i agree thats a horrible description.  it should at least mention the plus skill blacksmithing hammers.  probably unintential but could use a better description.  its true that higher property intensity does mean lower chances, but at 500 chances ar…
  • well i guess id say that too if i were selling forged metal tools lol
  • just tested to make sure still possible.  if you were making a max luck piece, you would reforge for 150 luck first, then imbue / enhance.  but this is still 500 imbue wieght so same chances.  not trying to "prove you wrong" or anything, its just a …
  • @Bilbo ive been doing it for years.  leather no, metal only because of the plus 60 skill from the hammer.
  • Mervyn said: Oh you can buy them for gold? Or do you just mean players purchase them for real money and sell them for gold? yeah just from player that has paid cash.  i dont have a problem with the UO store, if it helps the game stay in bu…
