username said: Or, and hear me out.... I know this is very complicated and convoluted but how about... ban accounts that attempt to connect to the server with unapproved clients? They would really need to get at least one of the retail …

These guys don't seem to have the ambition to make meaningful mechanical changes anymore, so instead we get this kind of cargo cult version of game balance enforced through content updates. Whenever they add something that involves PVM combat, they …

Sure, there were a number of games that touted themselves that way, all with a heavy focus on unrestricted PVP. The most prominent one I can think of was Shadowbane. That one lived a whole six years. There were several others but I can't even rememb…

LOL Charybdis. They added a boss with a complex summoning ritual and loot consisting of armor with unique one-of-a-kind properties, but forgot that nobody was going to wear a suit that needed to burn half its imbue slots just getting resists up to s…

This has absolutely nothing to do with using the stealing skill, against players or otherwise. What a strange tangent to bring up in defense of scamming. Be a big boy and just say "I think scamming should be allowed because lol" instead of trying to…

LBR was kind of a crappy expansion thrown together from leftover chunks of the cancelled UO2 project (at least partly in order to avoid EA being sued by Todd McFarlane) but it did mark the period in which I maintain that the game was at its all-time…

I've literally never seen anyone in-game even mention NL. It's a boondoggle with zero hype. They've squandered effort that could have gone toward getting at least one of the clients into non-embarrassing shape.

Pawain said: Tamer/ cannon user 16 Tamer/cannon user 14 Archer/Bard 14 Tamer/bard 14I mean maybe this makes sense on LS, but this is less per character than I get spamming summons at one Atlantic void pool.

Yeah it's awful again. Shard crashing must have cleared some sort of cache. The entire dungeon server is unusable. All the legacy dungeons are effectively shut down. This isn't acceptable.
-
Yeah it's pretty awful. I notice if you're in there and then leave, until that void pool ends, your journal is slow to open. That makes me think the system is constantly communicating with every client in there, and every client that was in there at…

My favorite example has always been the epiphany armor. They went to the trouble of adding a new unique item property to the game and then literally no one ever wore it because the developers didn't realize that nobody wanted armor with NPC trash le…

-
Game desperately needs a first-party client that isn't a huge mess, yeah. The CC runs worse than ever, and the EC is an unsalvageable trainwreck.
-
The event is seemingly intended to have multiple avenues of gathering hats. The fact that only one method is actually viable thus seems like a problem, regardless of how happy you are personally to also get some small gems and assorted mib trash.
-
I'd just stop participating before I bothered caring about the pitiful low level of hats from everything besides the void pool.
-
Yeah the rewards are just a couple of mediocre artifacts made worthless with the antique property, and some resource harvesting items that should have been low-tier BOD prizes. That whole era was the absolute peak of embarrassingly bad item rewards …

Victim_Of_Siege said: it'd probably be best to take it to 100 and let it go. take the 15 minute break to turn in hats, repair, Bio break, resupply and hit it again. I do like that it tells you that it's over and gives you your score even w…
-
I think the event is overly focused on the void pool, but I can't complain otherwise. The bots parked near the entrance are lame, but the event gives out enough goodies that I'm not really bothered. I'll be able to get what I want and more besides. …

Because that would cost millions and millions of dollars and wouldn't make sense even if you were willing to spend the money. The games have virtually nothing in common other than being RPGs where people fight things. Writing a new 3D engine from sc…

The total rate of acquisition absolutely craters once you get up past 100, yeah. We're at 150+ on Atlantic as I type this and we'd have been better off letting the spawn win half an hour ago.

Neat, maybe I'll buy one. What, is your investment portfolio full of Balron Bone Armor futures?

I've been to a couple over the years. There's three kinds of weddings in UO: * The kind where the couple are already together in real life and this is just something fun for them to do that involves their shared hobby. * The kind where the couple ar…

Everything but the Void Pool sounds like a waste of time as far as drop rates go.

RonFellows said: This isn't a new game mechanic. It's a part of the challenge to work as a team and trust your healers. It's a lot easier to just solo, and if any randos show up, leave them to die. And not just a little easier; much, much…

"Any time something is removed, someone will complain." Then go put these items on Drelgor the Impaler where they belong, not the Dark Father. "If they intended for us to get halos every time, they would modify the formula." They can make t…

The classic client is in extremely embarrassing shape and literally runs much worse than it used to years ago. The enhanced client was never ready for prime time in the first place. The fact that widespread adoption of third party clients is a probl…
