  • Urge said: keven2002 said: @ Urge - I see that the temporary thing is one of the most commented on things people touch on (most dislike it). I'm also struggling to see how a "classic" type shard with "classic" templates & gear wi…
  • @Seth - I think there are a lot of details that need to be worked out but I don't know if they are really going to push the new graphics piece given that, as you said, there are so many other things that need to be cleaned up or fixed and we only ha…
  • I agree @Bilbo since Legacy seems to be more of a shard for new/returning players to kind of get their feet under them before a shard wipe; I don't think there should be large homes like castle/keep because after all they will only be temporary. Ano…
  • Zed said:      The main thing is that other shards develop too, and if we will have at least something listed in the first post, then I do not mind. This pretty much sums it up for me. @Kyronix - as long as prod shards are not completely b…
  • I agree with you @Marge Maybe we are in the minority here but I already have a crafter and I did the whole building up from nothing and while it was quite the experience (and kind of a PITA) to mine my own ore and chop my own wood to build him; I …
  • @DJAd - What was your luck at when getting these items as loot (if I may ask)?
  • ZekeTerra said: I just hope that they continue to work on the Production shards while they do this.   From the sound of it, the new shard is going to get most of the attention from the 6 person team with a handful of Champ Spawns/Treasure …
  • Here is the rock and hard place the Devs put people in when creating a temporary "classic" shard: I'm a veteran: Let's say I'm looking for a change so I see this shard and I will try it out for nostalgia reasons. I start from day 1; assuming that …
  • Petra_Fyde said: Why would any vet create a character on the Legacy shard?  Maybe to mentor and recruit newer players for their shard and/or guild? At the end of the season of legacy they need to choose a shard to move to. Some people will wa…
  • Yea I kind of thought the same thing. Shard bound items are designed to keep people on that shard... they literally just made a quest item shard bound when they planned on creating a new shard which will inevitably pull people off some live shards. …
  • Petra_Fyde said: Victim_Of_Siege said: I think I am starting to get the idea of this shard. It appears to be totally for new players to build their characters without having to also figure out how to buy the things they need since they…
  • The other thing that will come into play for the character transfer after the shattering would be how many chars can we transfer (it sounded like we would have more than 1 available (but maybe not 7). In the event it's 3 (room for a mage/warrior/cra…
  • Well this is a first... I actually agree with @popps on this. It's a real concern from my end as it seems the team was super excited about their "new baby" which might leave the live shards feeling like the stepchildren (since this Dev team didn't c…
  • One question I'd have about the transfer off of Legacy would be is it free or do people have to buy a transfer token? @Kyronix ??
  • I wonder if the Devs are reading everyone's guess and laughing at how far off most of them probably are 
  • @popps - Given your extreme lack of UO game play knowledge and just overall understanding of things I take pretty much anything you say with a grain of salt. Also to set the record straight, my post is not my point of view, but actual fact as I actu…
  • @Kyronix - While I see your theory, I do not agree with it for two reason that I will list below. You previously said: I disagree this would be incentive enough to play on a lower pop shard.  You are relying on the assumption that an item can hav…
  • Very good point @MissE. I will only be doing this quest on my "home" shard that I live on because there is no need for decoration (shard bound) on the other shards I play when I'm looking to get away from the high population shards. One could also …
  • I'd agree with @Pawain. Also like you said if we are talking about most weaps (that you will actually want to use); a NPC weapon has enough points to do the trick.
  • That's a bit disappointing to hear but I do appreciate the honest feedback! Thanks for responding!
  • @Kyronix - I saw the release notes today for the new shards and saw there were a few teaks to the Black Gate event (step in the right direction) but it still only looks like 1 quest per character. That said, with the event having 8 rewards (and th…
  • **Update - @Mariah gave me a raw ginseng so I could complete this part of the quest (Thank you). This should still be addressed though in the event someone can't complete the quest in 24 hours after picking the root.
  • @Kyronix - I believe I've found a bug.  I started doing the quest for Mariah (raw ginseng / compassion sage). The first thing I did was get the raw ginseng because that was easy. Then I tried to gather the compassion sage (I'm using a pretty basic …
  • I was a little disappointed to see that the items are shard bound/random/1 quest per char.  There are 8 virtue stones but you have a max of 7 chars on an account (with all paid slots etc) so even if you get lucky and got every virtue stone you need…
  • Well this will depend on your shard but... If you can't quite do the roof yet then I'd suggest doing things like champ spawns or maybe try to participate in public net tosses (or join a guild that does them) or even join someone else doing the roof…
  • Yes... let's make it so thieves never become revealed ever and can steal everything in the game; that way you don't even need smoke bombs. While we are at it, lets make it so Shadow Jump works like a recall and will teleport you anywhere you want...…
  • Peacemaking is really only useful for the mastery in my opinion. The regens / reduced harmful durations / reduced damage buffs can be very useful.
  • I agree with @Seth here. It depends on your ability but the classic dungeons are "ok" but if you are able, Shadowguard (aka "the roof) is where you will find a good challenge and worthwhile loot.  Also if you play during times that aren't super bus…
  • McDougle said: why do people not like the bracelet of primal consumption ? with 200 luck and 20 in every resistance i use on all my luck suits who wants crappy resistance??  Main reason I don't use that or Compassion Eye on my tamer is be…
