Patch 150 - Dec 14, 2012: Anniversary, Help, Vendors, React.

Post by Derrick »

  • Happy 5th Anniversary! Players logging in today will receive a gift bag if eligible.
    • Gifts vary on account age, but accounts must be 14 days old with 24 hours of play time, and be fully registered to receive any gift.
  • Password command checks for valid password length: Max 16 chars
    • This is believed to be the primary reason why people have been getting locked out of their account after changing their password occasionally
  • Help Menus for Account Support and General Questions updates with an intermediate menu with browser links for Web based support.
    • We hope that these self-service support options will help players get help much faster.
  • A custom name for a docked boat now properly overrides the display of the boat type
  • Reactive armor spell has been rewritten to use the original OSI script from the UO Demo.
  • Bug Fix: All multi tiles were blocking EV's and BS's, due to a bug in a previous patch.
    • This was not correct as they should be able to be placed on Boats.
    • This was also effecting regular summons in houses.
  • Recall spell requires a surface at the destination.
  • Significant vendor restock changes based on UODemo:
    • Vendor restock default 50 mins (from 60)
    • Vendor restock quantity goes back to default quantity when not bought out
    • Vendor restock quantity increases by 9 if bought out.
    • The amount and max for vendor items will now persist through a shard restart.
    • Quantities of animals from the stable masters do not increase.
  • The plague in the stables has run it's course.
    • Rabbits, cats, dogs, rats, goats, etc are now available from the stable master.


Reagents spawning in the wild will be significantly increasing to match OSI levels, it was meant for that to be in this patch, but it was missed this morning. Look for it tomorrow.

I am anticipating some concern over the vendor restock changes. The UOR era patch (Design 353) which adjusted the restock to be more like what we had previously was here: http://update.uo.com/design_353.html (link currently broken Copy here: http://www.uoguide.com/Publish_12)

Completely missed a line item for the patch:
  • Bug Fix: All multi tiles were blocking EV's and BS's, due to a bug in a previous patch.
    • This was not correct as they should be able to be placed on Boats.
    • This was also effecting regular summons in houses.
Updated.

This means you can't recall into the air. The destination must be on a "surface".

does this mean that - once the vendor reaches 999 amount it'll be that way forever?!

I'd imagine it stays that way until it is not bought out completely..then it goes back down to default starting amount.

Correct me if im wrong...It used to be if you bought out a certain item at a vendor (lets say black pearl) it would double its value on restock. its default amount is 20 but if you bought them all out it would restock at 40, then 80, then 160 etc. Does it only go up by 9 each restock now instead of doubling?

This occurred after the changes to restocking during UOR. Before then, the restock amount was +9 per period when the vendor was bought out and reset to the base number (10 at the time) if the vendor was not bought out.
