                Yoshi said: “It is worth noting that select next/nearest hostile will not select your own summoned red drone, therefore it is already entirely possible for the classic client to distinguish between hostile and non hostile using factors other …

                If you use/switch to EC, you can filter out all the summons in the mobiles bars. (animated [un]dead don't count as summons, and really need an "undead" tag or somesuch). You can also set an object filter, set to the name(s) of the boss and pre-bos…

                In trammel (say all non felucca ruleset area), the server should simply stop sending this spell text to all players (*) in the area. That's a step towards reducing lag at EM and other populated events and may save a little on the ingress/egress net…

                Join a guild on your shard -- there are always guild members that will do shard xfers for free/nearly free in the larger guilds. I did an experiment - claimed a popular 50 item archlich drop on a less populated shard, and sold it for 2x what that i…

                Yoshi said: " @ ForeverFun on EC the spell casting speed depends on whether you have cursor target or a set target (EG last/self) for some reason you can cast spells in faster succession when not using cursor" That's not strictly correct.…

                @Mariah Did you hear anything back from the developers to confirm the values in this string of threads? A custom spellsinfo.lua could be posted for EC users, to address the client side spell timings as well as the mis calculation of protection pe…

                More spawn would be welcome. You can vary it a bit day-to-day, to get feedback, too. Let us use valor, say on the artifact trader, to dial up the spawn. Add ancient liches into the mix. Add Juo'nar into the mix, including possible paragon versio…

                Just have the developer reply on the original bug report "fixed in publish XXX, thanks". Looking at the volume of bugs filed/fixed in a given week, it should only be a few minutes of copy+paste into / out of a proprietary bug database each week. T…

                Yoshi said: “No I don’t think it’s queued spells, seems to be continuous, unless they have unlimited queued spells, dragon breath continues to hit and don’t think that is queued” Probably an implementation detail that doesn't matter. W…

                This is very similar to how monsters appear to queue up spells and can hit players when the player is far out of range of the monster. (see thread demonstrating this with the underwater shipwreck hold). Seems there is a check that prevents damage …

                Pawain said: Tell me step by step what to do to make your theory trigger. But spending 20 mins on a floor while getting drops does not trigger anything for me or others on LS. If you aren't getting impacted by things covered in this th…

                Pawain said: And only players in EC get time outs? Not true. CC also gets a drop message. ForeverFun said:If you recall to a new floor in the dungeon after getting an artifact drop, you should generally be OK. If you miss the notification t…

                Pawain said: ForeverFun said: The notion this is being triggered by players paging is 100% nonsense. That's based on my own observations. So how is it done? It is not from standing afk with a pet or without. What are your observ…

                In reading the last meet and greet notes, one of the few sensible replies was somebody saying they wouldn't tell you how the logic works. Your bank won't tell you how the fraud detection logic works, when it goes awry when making a $2 purchase at a…

                This seems a dupe of the thread here: https://forum.uo.com/discussion/11584/afk-out-of-control There's an important detail in a reply in that thread, if you read closely. Expanding on that, in deceit, perhaps people should recall to a new locatio…

                Mariah said: Apologies. the 'found on' section of the magic items properties page was edited at Mervyn's request. I took it on trust that his information was accurate. I will edit. @Mariah, can you check with the developers first, to rule…

                If you recall to a new floor in the dungeon after getting an artifact drop, you should generally be OK. If you miss the notification text regarding getting a drop, and you're using EC, see this thread (link). It's quite possible the GM's don't eve…

                Pawain said: During the lock down process it counts the items inside. A few things: The statement above is not true. If you release a full (500 jewels), in a house that is at/near capacity, there is no problem re-securing said jewe…

                A wild guess, in EC textparsing.lua, 1063357 may notify you of what you want. 1112472 also popped out of the RNG.

                Pawain said: Should we also reduce the amount of BODs in a BOD Book? Not easy to carry a full one that is 125 items. Are you not intelligent enough to stop at 125 items since this would solve YOUR issue. You are welcome to file a bug "or…

                Pawain said: Not a bug. They were designed like this. You can stop at 125 items if you prefer that cap. This is not the make UO conform to my play style forum. I'd label this one a "usability bug", with no obvious user friendly work-around…

                This is an nVidia 3000 series card, I don't think it's a user problem - it's a generic issue manifesting elsewhere for other people too. Asking others to check for the problems may not produce much feedback, as users may not know what to look for. …

                Win10, supported directX major version is 12 (12.1). The message implies the EC UO client is using certain DirectX9 functions. The nVidia forum post implies nVidia may be / may have deprecated certain DirectX9 functionality. Other posts suggest t…

                If you're talking about Niporailem the thief, my guess is your backpack is going over > 125 items. due to sand/fake gold/etc. If you cast recall without holding a mage weapon / shield, the item(s) are force unequipped, and overflows the usual …

                It'd be appropriate to fix the underlying issue causing client / server crashes. It's unlikely that whatever may be causing what you've stated is unique to releasing large numbers of undead followers. It wouldn't be appropriate to band-aid try to …

                Area effect spells or capabilities that hit you from paragons can cause a re-target. That's usually why proximity of a few spaces helps.
