A lot of these guys don't realize that they're paying to play the absolute worst version of the client. Like it's not even close. Once you see the CC artwork actually moving around on a properly sized screen with a fluid framerate, the retail CC is …

I'd settle for the same FPS the game used to have. At some point it actually got worse and became more choppy than it was originally. Some fix required to keep it running on modern Windows messed something up.

By "cheaty stuff" I mean it's got all the usual scripting crap built in. Lots of people who aren't especially interested in scripting nevertheless use it because it's just a much better experience overall, even if all you do is smack ettins and bank…

The client he's talking about is sort of like a painstakingly cleaned up and improved EC, but with CC graphics and a ton of quality-of-life improvements even outside of the "cheaty" stuff. It's the client everyone here wishes Broadsword would have m…

DeadThing5 said: FYI setting the play area to 1200x800 and playing in windowed mode at 1920x1280 gives a decent size screen, and that doesn't solve any of the other problems. I've tried that but I find it makes all the UI elements like the…

Yeah the EC isn't anywhere close to a viable solution. Their internal EM/GM clients are CC, as are all the promotional videos they make. It's an ugly pile of crap and even they don't use it for anything.

Mariah said: Just in case anyone isn't aware, you do know that you can scroll down in the display tab of CC options menu? and that the maximum resolution is 1280 x 720? Which cuts off the bottom of the screen if your PC resolution is also …

They need to do something, the retail clients are not viable products at this point.
-
A whole new generation of players going "Why is the play field three inches across?" and logging out to play something else. It's one thing to just give up on client updates forever, it's another to expect people to use them. If I set my PC resoluti…
-
Being forced to substantially lower your PC's resolution just to have a gameplay field large enough to see is unacceptable. Having a framerate lower than it was 20 years ago is unacceptable. I'm not even going to comment on the EC, even the develope…

Pawain said:This is not a public forum. Only people with accounts to UO can post here or come to the event. It was dang easy to read. You're a real winner.

Pawain said: It's called role play. Never heard of a role playing game? UO is a MMORPG. This is the forum for a MMORPG. I'm glad I'm here to explain gaming basics to you. Be nice. Their knees do not bend. When communicating with the publi…

Pawain said: I guess I am unique here, I play games with content I like. There are thousands of games out there. Maybe you can find one you like, or make your own since you know so much about it. Let us know when its out. If you're thi…

Why on earth would someone post a public announcement in the form of total gibberish?

Pawain said: Maybe just Maybe they do not want to automate UO. It sounds like the PvP community does not want to. I would be shocked if the devs even mention using that client in their meetings, much less us using to enter UO. Sounds like you…

Adapting it would probably take their one programmer another two years.
-
Broadsword has completely abdicated client development and it really, really, really shows. I can name multiple freeshard clients vastly superior to the obsolete dilapidated retail clients.
-
Yeah there's the title bar, and now the client works too. Riveting thread.
-
EC needs CC graphics and also an overhaul of the text and chat. Pretty much everything in it is ugly and hard to read, menu headers with black text on grey backgrounds and crap like that. Need to be able to mouse over speech text to pull it to the f…

Metrican said: That said, the classic client in particular is in dire need of updating. The recent video released showcasing New Legacy was, quite frankly, embarrassing to watch. It looked like a choppy slide show in parts. Compare Classic of…

Both of the existing first-party clients are embarrassing ill-maintained abandonware garbage, and neither constitutes an acceptable commercial product in 2024. No, not even by the standards of a quirky throwback game with retro pixel graphics. The c…
-
I can't believe they let their actual commercial game languish as essentially abandonware for several years just to put out baby's first freeshard with some very basic K10R tutorial quests, half the interesting skills removed, and some appallingly u…

I kinda liked the void pool. I wish there were any reason to still do it on occasion but the standard rewards are pure "I don't know the game I just work here" garbage.
-
Wow you can really feel the sheer excitement for this project coursing through this thread. What a great way to have spent years worth of extremely limited resources.

I dunno about my favorite armor, but my least favorite are the Mondain's Legacy armor sets. These things were unwearable garbage when they were brand new, and there's absolutely no way they should still be on the Doom Gauntlet drop table at this poi…
