  • CovenantX said: At 0 DCI you are completely immune to HLD, (currently Active)  Additional note - your unmodified dci needs to be 0 for immunity to HLD.  currently the only item that this includes is Shanty's Waders (-5 DCI +10 HCI) Thigh …

  • Cookie said: CovenantX said:  but, everyone knows mages are more lethal and since they can't miss Can we just address the Fallacy of this statement please. I'd like you, and everyone to stop saying this, I'd like an apology for how you have…

  • popps said: But, probably, the very first thing which could probably stop the use of scripts would be ending for good the ability of players to sell in-game items for real money.... without the ability to make real money off of in-game items I …
  • Garth_Grey said: 2 days later To put it into perspective, Skara has had more completed trade runs in the past 2 days, than Moonglow has had since it's inception.    The devs are probably sitting back, thinking Wow, people really enjoy the…
  • Hehe, they could get rid of account bound completely if they did like....anything about bots. Mesanna said they could detect third-party programs, unless that was a lie.. why the hell aren't they doing anything about it? 'direct-to-pack' reward ite…
  • tbh, those vendors with lots of shadowguard drops were probably people like me that farmed the hell out of it while you could double the drops, actually at one time you could get upt 6 chances at a drop for each character there with a minimum of 4 c…
  • They already made a change to HLD to have a reduced duration when applied via Ranged weapon, (which were the ones that could have used the nerf at the time) when they removed the over-capping of DCI, they also reduced the amount of DCI HLD cuts off,…

  • Most skills can be completed 0-120 in less than 24 hours, without the use of pink or blue scrolls, all skills can be completed 0-120 in less than 72 hours.   and with some of the programs people use, they could easily run 30+ characters at the same …
  • Cookie said: I'm done with discussing Parry with Covenant, we have both said our piece, I cannot say anymore without going around in circles. I did also try to cover all points on the original topic. I was against it.    You're no fun.    I …
  • Cookie said: Not forgetting the obvious of course, Mages have to stand still like sitting ducks to cast anything - which is basically giving away free hits, which then equals, bleed, so no more casting, splinter, so forced walk, more hits incomi…
  • Cookie said: A. So you are not prepared to carry the consumables that would help your situation - but instead want to force Mages to carry 8 stacks of reagents (as well as all the other consumables we do carry)? Bit hypocritical? Because you …
  • Cookie said: But finally - for the REAL fix. How about give an Attractive proposition for Mages to not REQUIRE Parry, then we can drop it, and get everything that has been taken away from us back. 1. 20% SDI reduction. 2. 35% Manapool reduct…
  • Cookie said: Who said we want Parry on Mages? 1. Mages have LOST 5% SDI. 5% out of 25% possible PvP SDI. 20% of our Damage Increase - Possibly Warriors should also lose 60 DI out of their 300 DI Cap if they run Parry? It's tough to hit accu…
  • Cookie said: I completely agree power creep is the cause - in fact both Covenant and I are saying this. We are reading the effect of it differently though. I am saying this power creep has benefitted warriors to a point, it's forced a maj…
  • Cookie said: Parry needs to be taken off the Focused Mages prohibited list, it is as simple as this, this should never have been implemented. As I have said from day 1 - all PvP classes are using Parry for a reason, and it is not because …
  • Rorschach said: Several posts have been removed. Please be mindful of the terms of service when posting, and please use appropriate language.    Question for you, other mods & Devs....  Why are the forum rules more strictly enforced (an…
  • Pawain said: When you request changes you should put in the effort like this guy did. https://community.stratics.com/threads/please-add-dancing-to-the-game-picture-heavy.176064/    We had the ability to do like every single one of those…
  • Pawain said: Ok cant be undone.  How would you get a refund for still having it?  Cant be undone means the pet will have that ability forever. so make an educated choice!  Sometimes it is over written but it is still there.    I'd imagine …
  • I feel like each time they update the  'turn in rewards', they should wipe everyone's points just before adding new rewards. It's gotta be frustrating when they finally get around to updating rewards and everyone has points to buy every single new t…
  • Most of the time, it seems like the posts that cause a thread to be locked, are removed. That leads people that go over those threads to believe it was wrongfully locked, because we don't always see the 'offending posts' that have been removed.  and…
  • Just to add too it... It also doesn't help that Character copy to TC1 is often down... so you can't rely on that to be there if you need it for anything. the TC1 "Give" commands haven't been updated since masteries came out, what do they expect you …
  • Pawain said: Trying to dis me and you repeat my opinion about reading up on a topic and learning before doing. I guess I passed the the smoke to you, it makes you see clearly. There are many abilities a pet can get, which are best? Use a d…
  • That too, and it's a big one.

  • Pawain said: Kinda yall are the same posters who are saying Powerscrolls should stay in fel and others need to stop being lazy and learn to PvP.  Where is the PvP instruction gump in UO? This Cossack quote fits this topic well.  I wouldn't t…
  • Pawain said: So how many text boxes would UO have to explain every detail. That's why UO Guide and others were made. UO is not the standard game that has a beginning and end. How many instruction boxes and icons do we need because players…
  • Pawain said: So players should learn how to do things? Is that bad? If a player that knows the basics of UO wants to do other things how would they know what these other things are? Are we born with the knowledge of where the different quest…
  • popps said: The thing is, that the argument was NOT about adding 120 Powerscrolls to Trammel but, rather, a very, ve r y , VERY , reasonable request to add 115 Powerscrolls to Treasure Chests.... guess where ? In FELUCCA which it is where Pow…

  • That and the amount of time lost, when you imbue an item with something you didn't want, vs adding skills/stats on a pet you didn't want, though the systems aren't that different, the costs are much greater for pet training mistakes,  Pet mistakes…
  • The control slot thing was the dumbest part of the pet-revamp, but i guess i could also profit from it because I do have tamers on pretty much every shard with Pre-patched pets, some of which are worth far more than you can get from a currently spaw…
