UO Second Age

can this be changed back to the way it was where we could log 3 tiles in if secure and locked up?

just logged in and lost about 200k worth of gear. i've left my guys on those tiles for 2 years and they've never been killed. and a whole boatload of players have spent countless hours camping my doorstep just waiting for me to slip up.

update: players in IRC are reporting that this is a bug that was discovered 2 weeks ago. apparently you are not safe anywhere in a tower, but are in a small house, keep and castle (if secure). please look into this. i like my tower and playing uosa, hate all the clicking to restock when i died cuz of some bug.

This has been happening a lot recently, from what I hear its related to purple pots as most people have noticed a countdown timer before they die.

I can only assume it's done by targeting the roof of the tower so the explosion will hit everything on the same Z axis, but truthfully I have no clue. It's unfortunate that it happened to you, and it would be great to find out the trick to it, as Abbot has had a house killing coming for many months.

Purple pots only attack vertically and its very limited (if you were standing next to a table and threw a purple pot into it, it wouldn't hit you. You can't hit people from underneath the roof, either.)

Did the journal log say anything regarding your death? Were you afk while it was happening? I would think he either casted an EV on the roof and walked it down into the first floor, or he was using chain lightning to hit you since it has a great reach inside.

i have the roof of my tower AND the hallway blocked w/ locked down furniture. there's no EV in any of the death-shots. for two years previous to last night, you could not chain lightning or meteor swarm or purple a character standing in that spot. all it showed in my journal was my chars dying.

it looks to me like it was EQ because the character still alive is stuck on 0% while the other is dead. but that shouldn't be possible..

Bug Report Posted, this is accomplished due to some problem with the line of sight from a few tiles away from a house. Seems to work in towers/keeps and castles.

Are Bug Reports being addressed any more?
I have not seen any signs of Derrick for some time now.
I hope all is well and that he returns soon.

We Miss You Derrick!!!

I've reported quite a few valid bugs and era inaccuracies in the past few months that have no comments from staff on them and I just assumed that staff handles them as they are able and does not feel the need to reply to every post.

And good news - I was in contact with Derrick just a few weeks ago regarding my subscription to UOSA. So he's definitely around
