UO Second Age

Hello:

I've recently come back to UO Second Age and have been having a great time. However, there is a major feature addition that I do understand and very much do not agree with.

Double Hits

The ability to strike twice in quick succession can be described as nothing but a bug. It was never a feature contemplated by OSI, but an accident of programming. Although this may have been era accurate, it is still a bug that was eventually fixed.

The best way I look at the situation is comparing this to a duping bug. Let's say for arguments sake that there was a way to dupe gold in November of 1999 and the issue was not corrected until UO:R was released. Would we demand the gold dupe be implemented for accuracy sake? Obviously not.

It's a broken game mechanic that should be corrected. Halberd Mage is the best template for PVP as it is - does anybody really need that double swing as a crutch?

I need it as a crutch.. Come on now..

Yes, it would be demanded, because it would be era accurate. However, Derrick said he would not implement such a bug.

I too need "the crotch".

tbh i don't see anything positive about having double swing on the shard

Only bugs 'deemed' game breaking are excluded.

I haven't really seen a conclusive argument to suggest that double hits are game breaking in all honesty.

random insta death to dexers sounds pretty game breaking to me

double hit is definitely not game-breaking

Stop getting your tears all over the keyboard, it is sending strange messages through the client to the UO server and causing the game to break.

And you'll need a new keyboard
