Re: Thoughts on the latest Patch

The old system was practically AoS 2/6 casting with the addition of 2 second hally hits and insta hit ... You may have enjoyed it more because its a more recent version of UO to some extent and bc it allowed for faster casting of spells overall, but that doesn't make it better. It just makes it diff...

Re: Thoughts on the latest Patch

It is your choice to not play your mage is my point. Just because you aren't playing it doesn't mean its ineffective. Infact, its just as effective, if not more effective now. Under the system we have, if you are a player that knows what they are doing and is "skilled" in pvp'd, you will k...

Re: Thoughts on the latest Patch

If that's your preference of play, so be it. Nothing wrong with what you choose. That is part of old school UO. There is no "template of the month" ... choice of what you want to play bc they are all effective.

Group fighting ...

Mage = ability to cross heal and synch on command
Dexer = run and chase, can't cross heal effectively, can't synch on command

I know you know that ...

Re: Thoughts on the latest Patch

I personally don't see a problem with anything on live. It's very easy to see that people on this server are very 1 dimensional when it comes to fighting. Before this patch, the choice of spells was an ebolt, a debuff, harm, maybe a lightning, mini heal and maybe gh. Then add in the abuse of the hal...

Re: Rares

or just phase out rares. zero risk and high reward does not add to the t2a feel. plus these just add more items to the server which have no purpose. You risk being killed by monsters in many spots. You risk being killed by a pk in certain areas. You risk losing everything you are carrying on you. Y...

Re: Revisit Trophys vs. Economy

In order for trophy points to be a "gold sink", the gold would have to be removed from the player base ... in a sense deleted. All that is being done is 1 player is giving another player gold for their trophy ... it is the same as if a player kills 6 dragons and then uses the gold for regs...

Re: Revisit Trophys vs. Economy

Would I give my mask in? ... Sure ... only if you give all the gold back that you got from trophy points that you've sold, since you don't have anything to show for the amount of events you are at ... Long before I had my mask was I trying to get rid of the amount of events that we've had, and also ...

Re: The E-bolt and Halberd Theory

Yeah, the people that used the game mechanic knows that your swing was ready soon as the target was up not after it dealt damage. The evidence in itself is the 2 second disarm delay in the article. There is only one mention of this delay period. It was clearly stated to be 2 seconds not 2.25, 2.5, ...

Re: Revisit Trophys vs. Economy

Well, I know for a fact it happens, which is the reason I'm saying it. I've seen it happen for a long time, and that is one of the reasons the amount of events has been getting lower and lower ... Making them non-tradable is pointless only because all of the items on the list can and are being imple...

Re: The E-bolt and Halberd Theory

On a side note, if you ebolt, let the damage hit and then go for swing, you can do it everytime, and it is ready "AFTER" the ebolt ... maybe not after the cast, but after the cast and damage it is ... ... is there any evidence that supports that you could get a hally swing after an ebolt c...

Re: Revisit Trophys vs. Economy

I dunno how the there is a comparison for rares and trophy points since they are on 2 different ends of the spectrum. Rares require countless hours of trying to find the spawn spots, spawn timers, and competing with a bunch of people that know where and when they spawn. Those people are out in the w...

Re: Revisit Trophys vs. Economy

No one is saying to stop events. They are saying, including myself, that there should be no rewards given for them. People on this server, including yourself say that there is no group field fighting, or fighting on the actual server. Well lets see why ... instead of that new player or any player fa...
