One problem with this patch... you've pretty much condemned anyone who does not have a GM Cartographer yet to never actually GM the skill.

The chance of decoding a level 4 map at 98.5+ skill is so high, it's nearly impossible to actually gain a point of skill from it. I've done about 25 of them so far, without a gain.

Due to the changes in treasure maps, and the requirement that the character who decoded the map be the one who digs it up, all existing non-completed treasure maps have been un-decoded.

Some a'gun...thought I'd have until Monday to hit 99.5 with cart...oh well guess she'll stay at ~97.

I hate patches that make it harder for up-and-comers compared to how it used to be here.

All whining aside, nj Derrick

The "heat seeking" pots really are still the same, I used em this morning just fine in the 1v1.

Theyll still chase your target and blow up on them, but the dmg is delayed 1sec, mind you the dmg is still done to the target its just delayed, not the explosion itsself, so runners can still get hammered by pots. It just makes dueling and healing through them a tad more easier.

What is up with these extreme stamina loss changes?? This is what i mean by consistent changes to discourage player base.... the changes to stamina on mounts is very extreme derrick... i couldn't even finish a fight in town today without my mount being fatigued after 3 minutes of fight time after buying a brand new horse....

I don't necessarily mind the change all that much since its going to be the same for all players.... but now you cant feed mounts to recover stamina either? I'm so confused.... :shock:

You can feed them to regain stamina as before, but it's not necessary, see: http://forum.uosecondage.com/viewtopic. ... 617#p98617

Derrick, any word on this? The new changes pretty much assure that the only people who can work a level 5 map are the ones who already have GM cartographer. Having to gain 1.5 points of Cartography off of level 4 maps is about as close to impossible as you can get.

Whats the basis for weight decreasing mount stamina more quickly? I dont remember it like this. Often 2 people fighting would have to do all follow me near each other and I doubt they had the same weight.

I'll look into the actual difficulty. I don't really know what to say to this yet.

We'll look into this too. The basis is simply that the horse is using the riders weight and capacity, this may be incorrect. I'll look into this further as well.

There is an question regarding pack animals too, having only about 85 str they are losing stamina fast at over 3XXish stones.

All I can say it's not like that in the demo. The horse ignores the riders weight.

it wasn't like that in t2a era, overweight on a mount walking forward you'd fatigue, but chug a refresh pot and you could walk again- mount didn't need to be fed or spam'd with all follow me.

Thanks for this, though they're *too* slow now! I don't know what kind of values RunUO accepts for speed (is it in total time? fps?), but a good reference would be swing speed for lower stamina values. At first I thought it was when stamina was below 100%, but it turns out there's a hard coded number value that when above, animations play 'full speed' (which is far too fast) and elsewhere they play the correct speed (at which all animations, incl. bow and salute, should play at)
