JollyJade said:Ivenor said:JollyJade said: UO is NOT "any (...) game". It's a SANDBOX game, and, IMO, its only chance to stay open for many others years (as we all hope!) is to base its revenue mainly on the FIXED INCOME that derive from subs, plus…

I prefer the simplistic movement Ultima Online currently offers. "Debilitating collisions" already exist in Felucca, you have to push through other players and will take a hit to Stamina as a result. Adding further physics adjustments such as accele…

DapperBadger said: Hello all, I've been away since the tail end of AoS. I was hoping all of you could list some popular builds. I'll be 100% PvM, either solo or duo. I'm interested in doing tougher more rewarding content(is doom still a thi…

I have several pets with full XP bars but they are only partially trained because I have not acquired the needed Power Scrolls yet. I receive constant messaging on the pet's XP gains even though the bar is full. Would love a "disable messaging" opt…

Events I have participated in on Pacific and Origin have been very heavily attended by tamers and mystics. Players seem to enjoy letting their pets do all the work these days. An archer might perform well since it has range, but good armor pieces w…

Cookie said: ...On Stratics, I challenged Mesanna to show me her playing a Mage, to solo 80% of the games content - she never did. One of my friends uploaded video's of him soloing 80% of the games content on a Sampire as my side of the challeng…

Cookie said: Hi Thalon,I accept there will always be instances of one template is better than another template for a specific event or boss, if it happens here and there, that is fine.My Thrower is ideal for soloing Navrey and Stygian Dragon.…

Cookie said: Good post. I'll bite.1. I'd like pure mage, and pure warrior to become more effective in pvm. For pure mage, everything out there is designed to disturb their spells, or monsters have huge resist so they cannot even do any damage…

Basara said: I have never understood the fascination with the worthless (to me) Resist Spells skill. I've got it at 120 - on a soulstone. It made ZERO difference in the field for me. As with the others, I agree though that the 30 Anatomy is…

Your post shows considerable thought, but I do not think the power creep is a big deal in Ultima Online. I am not saying it doesn't exist: - Top gear drops are definately more powerful now than in 2000, 2010, or even 2015. - New expansions release n…

Yes, Eval and Anat do still combine for defensive wrestling. Since you mentioned you are going PvM that is generally a waste of points since several weapons have Spell Channelung + Mage Weapion 0. Very few monsters use disarm and your template shoul…

No date set. The upgrade will happen when Publish 99 on TestCenter goes live. It is likely you have less than a week to wait. Current information says end of March. A newsletter was released February https://mailchi.mp/broadsword/ultima-online-ne…

I like the Lost Lands. City of the Dead, Titan Valley and northern desert were my favorite places to adventure before Ilshenar was created. Still visit often.

While not a video library, there is a section on uo.com dedicated to returning players: https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/a-summary-for-returning-players/

I did not realized that the poll was 1 answer allowed only, so two answers are not possible for question 3. I will also outline an example for improving the traditional Warrior template. To figure out what the Warrior is lacking, let's compare the S…

Okami said: How does your post relate to improving the information flow in game to steer new and returning players to appropriate areas for character progression? You're acting as though this was a personal appeal for advice, which it is not…

I have never used a Nox-Mage. Might have to try one. Must remember to stick with the template I decided on. Too many game hours retraining half-finished characters, although with New Haven around not nearly as much time is needed.

Greetings!

Okami said: I should point out, I'm not discussing "higher level" content, my strict concern at this time is the fact the 50-100 skill range game for combat seems near nonexistent. So was I. You were given several suggestions in my previ…

Okami said: While I know for the experienced veteran player base with guild contacts and such, it's less of an issue, I've attempted several times to blind build a character based off the Haven tutorial and the island itself. While the tuto…

Some games have flourished under Free2Play, others have not. I played both City of Heroes and Lord of the Rings Online. Both went F2P around 2011. LOTRO is still expanding, but CoH was closed down by the developer. Rumors were it wasn't that CoH was…

Far as I know the same has been true for years: 1) The fastest a character can swing a weapon is every 1.25 seconds 2) Swing Speed Increase reduces the weapon's base speed. Ex: 25% on a 4 second weapon means the weapon now swings every 3 seconds. …
