  • This needs moved to the new legacy forum. 
  • Maybe, but you also don't know how they've structured their dataset.  Keep in mind, this is a 30 year old game with tons of developers in and out over the years.    I doubt its a simple 1=1 with items.   Theres probably a base table for items (…
  • Drago said: While I wish VS could be optimized further, its a sad pipe dream. I don't think many understand the scope of a project like that.  It would require a huge re-write of their backend.  VS is basically hitting a database with billi…
  • It affects combat everywhere. This happens crossing server lines as well.  If this game is not about combat than what is is about?    I had a long response here but what is the point?  Can't even get a dev to respond in any fashion to anything.  Ra…
  • Can I link to stratics from here?  I wrote a pretty extensive expose on how I track my blacksmith bods and sort them.   https://community.stratics.com/threads/guide-managing-blacksmith-bods.420084/
  • keven2002 said: RonFellows said: Meh.  Yea I never had that much of an issue with it myself; especially on a Sampire which appears to be pictured (one or two hits replenishes all). The only potential problem recalling in with half …
  • Yup that thread is 4 years old and still broken and still sad today. 
  • Yup. Crafting in general is broken. Add up Runics, reforging and imbuing and you can’t get an item 35% as good as Greater Artifact or Legendary Artifacts. The only use for crafting is 190 luck (cause luck loot is broken - can’t get 150 luck on named…
  • Agree here. Respawn should be when the boss corpse decays. Plenty of time to loot it then kick it off again. In fact all champs and content should be like this.  
  • NuSair said: Nevermind- figured it out... the pieces were brittle.....  you realized your mistake but go on - report the actual issue - the pieces you crafted are like 75 or 35 durability making them useless as reforged pieces.  This is st…
  • Popps Said : But how much time is necessary to invest, using banked points, to get a Valorite Hammer for around 60k gold ? With banked points the number of BODs needed is very high and it takes time to seek them, to buy the items to fill them a…
  • creampie said: is it a joke this thread seriously none want large smith weapons bods. 20 6 except large weapons bod give the same reward than a small bod 20 excep dull copper or 10 except shadow iron small bod. Bods can be turned in for re…
  • Honestly it’s a real problem.  Blacksmith larges have too few weapon larges.  It’s been this way for a long time.  Their might be some sweet spot of smith skill to get them but honestly I’ve always though they should sell larges for gold. Like pay 1…
  • If I ran UO here is what I would have done -  Same champ but respawn as soon as boss corpse decays.  Sanctum turn in rewards still active.    Turn in Spawn boss items as sanctum points.  1 point for lore pages and 5 points for weapon/shield/etc.  …
  • Ah the RNG discussion.   As a statistics minor in school I’m well versed in what Random means. As a former coder and software executive I also know how a binary computer can only simulate true randomness.  Every RND calculation needs a seed to work …
  • Larissa I also love that your sig still has an ICQ number. You are dating yourself now!  Lol
  • I agree on these silly statues. Do some metrics on what people claim.  Simply having a new pick every year allows more soul stones, rideables and house add ons. I’d be shocked if even 1% of the selections are statues.  You are wasting your time! Foc…
  • Haha. I love your enthusiasm Larissa. 
  • Few things - First they could catch the bots if they wanted. Just track number of drops per toon.  I played a lot. Got thousands. I’m nowhere near the script players.  They have tens of thousands. They are on all day every day.  Look at your top 75…
  • I really hate the way they implemented the bank box stuff.  They should really have not limited to 20. It’s too little to play the game. You can’t hold a house.  Or be friended to one.  EJ accounts are just scripter helper accounts.  Not really for …
  • You need the scroll in your pack.  Buy it up and it uses the scroll. Use whatever scroll you want to max at.  If you pay for a 115 then go to 120 you will also need a 120 scroll as well as the original 115. So - do it once with the top scroll level …
  • The funny thing is after you read all that and do all that work you realize crafted armor and jewelry are crap.  Only 5 mods means it’s so crippled even loot from fan dancers is better.   I’m a 20+ year crafter.  I agree crafting is too complex and …
  • Hopefully this is good news for all of us.  Maybe less New legacy boondoggle and some game fixing and enhancements.  I mean we’ve gone about 5 years without meaningful updates to UO.  So many things with just a moderate amount of tweaking could be g…
  • In this case popps is correct. People have way more armor than dyes. By 5 or 10x imbuing?  Cmon Jack do you even play the game?  Imbuing gives you 5 properties. Monster loot drops with 10-12. No one wears crafted armor besides luck suits. No one.  
  • Thorakh said: Here is some robes I generated with Adobe Firefly Wow dude. Forget Uo. Where can I buy these in RL? I want to wear these out tomorrow. Haha. I want to roll up to Home Depot in one. 
  • lol at first I didn’t understand the constellation client being a synonym for a well known illegal client. For a second I thought we had another client named Constellation Client to be worried about.  At some point can you just add encryption to the…
  • If you updated the dark father/doom rewards, void pool, and/or the community collection rewards it would add two areas of gameplay. Seems like an easy way to add things to do without much effort. I’d love to run some doom runs again but for what? Wh…
  • Mariah said: While Jack's post could have been phrased better *shakes fist* a list of items you'd like to see stacked would be helpful. Bearing in mind that some items can't be stacked for various reasons. Some simple searching should be …
  • lol. It’s just bad coding. Like how paragons will latch onto someone outside a house they shouldn’t even be able to see. You are in a house fighting it and someone outside walks by and the paragon goes and hugs the wall. 
  • What they should have done is never invested 4 years in New Legacy and instead shored up the classic client with many of the features people go to other clients for and add in some real security to the log in so you cannot log in with other clients.…
