  • “This game sucks I might just cancel a few of my several dozen accounts” — every post on this forum — right next to “hey can you add xyz to the uo store”
  • When you say fireball should be 19 - 22 damage but you can do 18, does that mean you casted the spell on a target expecting to do 19 - 22 damage but ended up doing 18? Could your target’s resistance have played a factor in the discrepancy? Was the r…

  • Ehh think sun is setting on the EC. There’s a reason the team didn’t lead with the EC in any lead up to NL, and neither client is particularly relevant until they can get to one that looks half decent and is reasonably modern such that they can star…
  • I don’t really play the CC much, but I don’t know that I’ve ever really ran into very many bugs with it. There are a lot of quirks and design flaws for sure, but a lot of that’s server-side or just a result of the client’s age. The EC, on the other …
  • On the latest interview, they mentioned updates to the “renderer”. I presume this could mean better scaling art, a resizable window, and higher fps. I doubt UI updates are in the cards right now, but it would be cool if they opened it up for easier …
  • Three gotchas here Gargoyle will be harder to gear off the bat since New Haven critters won’t drop gargoyle gear. Gargoyle melee is even rockier, mostly in the long term due to imbalances with its slotting. Stealth ninja is pretty niche and me…
  • Raised this issue here after it got me killed: https://forum.uo.com/discussion/14314/door-teleporter-security-settings-reset-to-anyone-when-publishing-a-house-design#latest It’s an oversight that should be changed, but it’s been like that forever s…
  • Focus is only necessary for mystics. It has no impact on Chivalry. Generally speaking, neither meditation nor focus should be used on a warrior. Meditation requires mage armor, so you won’t be able to overcap LMC. You should be using a mana leech w…
  • Maybe, but it’s an even better opportunity to complain on the forums. :P Organizing a shard-wide Easter service (He is Risen! He is Risen indeed!) just ain’t the same as an official event where bunnies poop out tokens that you can redeem for leet g…

  • Every time Cookie responds to one of KroDuk’s easy-to-follow-and-not-at-all-meandering posts >xD
  • Yikes, y’all, I regret having paraphrased Kyronix on why we ain’t gettin’ Easter goodies. :P Who cares about Easter anyway when you could have Cinco de Mayo instead? UO is missing sombreros and maracas. Add a taco recipe!

  • You mean selling luck potions! They want prodo players to feel like the distracted boyfriend meme this month!

  • Ehh I wouldn’t read too much into it. Kyronix even said something to the effect of “well, I guess we do Halloween” :P. If you want to associate Easter broadly with the Spring season, then the answer is there’s an NL publish coming up. So the real r…

  • Gotcha, yeah, those would be some pretty big revamps. You probably won’t see them ditch NL anytime soon. Anyhow, that’s the roadmap for the near term. Some updates to the CC are underway but wouldn’t expect this until the end of the year, per the r…
  • https://uo.com/2025/01/21/2025-roadmap-update/ NL publish soon. Event this summer. On a recent stream, Kyronix indicated no “Easter content”.
  • Hey now, username. I was being cheeky
  • Per the stream the other week: New NL publish. There won’t be an Easter event. Kyronix mentioned how they wanted to get away from holiday-specific things since UO is cross cultural and holidays have very specific deadlines. Likely some event in t…

  • Some items from the stream: 1. They are updating the CC. Mentioned specifically were “updates to the renderer”. 2. No list at this time of which systems will be ported from NL. 3. New NL shard in Japan. 4. Team won’t discuss efforts to combat bots …
  • One hand or two hand, shield or no shield doesn’t really matter. In the end you’re going to be playing all warriors basically the same in PVM with double strike, armor ignore, and whirlwind. Doesn’t matter if you’re using a double axe or a pool nood…

  • Should be EC only. Been a problem since at least Sept: https://forum.uo.com/discussion/14736/ec-login-hangs-on-consecutive-attempts#latest I swear it sometimes fails the login even when the password is correct. As another poster mentioned, you can …

  • For sure, perhaps it makes thief too magical whereas UO treats it more “low fantasy”. Beyond the skill itself, there are opportunities to introduce thief-specific content following the pattern of trade routes and fish monger quests. Perhaps you mus…
  • Perhaps “steal skills” from a player or monster in a limited way and apply to yourself as well. Sort of like discord in the sense of weakening your opponent.
  • Wonder if more simply the snooping skill could be removed and the ability to peek into a person’s backpack could tied just to stealing. Perhaps too imbalancing if the whole template gets more love. Think permitting a thief to steal with one free ha…
