[Arrgh]

No doubt, thanks for the info and update Robert!

 

[Evilminion]

[Deb]

I didn't notice anything.

 

[Loqucious]

I don't think anyone complains that Jeremy is not a nice person or doesn't work hard, our issues are with the way things are done with both EA and UO.

There's a machine that needs fixin.

Best of luck.

[EnigmaMaitreya]

Boo, Hiss .....

I was hoping to have GM'd Magery by the time I got home.

 

[Ender]

So far Siege, Mugen, and Balhae are up. Come on Great Lakes...

Servers are starting to come back online. They will be coming up individually, so some patience may be required for your particular server. We will get them all back online as quickly as possible.

Quick reminder: For those inquisitive people, remember to mark any SPOILER posts you make regarding events.

GRRR Dang it Bob!!! Tell me's please!!!!

Ori

PS BTW you're doing great don't listen to the nay sayers!!

 

[Crysta]

Guess that would be what was added yesterday...

 

[Ender]

Guess that would be what was added yesterday...

Yeah, the stuff that the devs lied to us about.

 

[Crysta]

How did they lie? Event stuff would be part of the updated clilocs. Is it a crime that they didn't want everyone knowing everything beforehand?

 

[Ender]

How did they lie? Event stuff would be part of the updated clilocs.

Oh well I consider saying "cliloc updates" and nothing more lying.

 

[Prince Caspian]

Yeah, the stuff that the devs lied to us about.

But they WEREN'T lying to us about The Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and Orthar the Tooth Collector.... right?


RIGHT???

 

[Gwendar-SP]

Any word when the changes in the publish notes will be out? Am concerned about the alliance changes wrt faction.

Also, i think Buford is MIA on Siege.

 

[Robert_EAMythic]

All shards are back now.

I'm making the changes to the patch notes now, but they are very minor.

Add the following:

• Sherry the Mouse now has access to the Town Crier system.
• Players should no longer retain summoned pets on their follower list after summoned pets are eliminated.

 

[Magdalene]

Thank you, Robert.
Sorry for the disturbances, I'm cleaning up.

 

[Barry Gibb]

Publish 54 notes state that the NPC, will not want escorts to Magincia any more. This is not the case. I found several NPCs that still wanted to go to Magincia, after the publish was rolled out today on LS. I reported this bug, using the form.

I originally decided not to post this in Bob's Pub 54 thread, since it would likely get buried. Now that this thread has been clean up, I copied this over.

Stayin Alive,

Whats up with the change in the stranger drops.
No chest. See the post that just came up.

Thanks Barry, good catch. Obviously that was not fixed in this update and it should be removed from the patch notes. Will be addressed sometime in the near future.

 

[Nok]

Thanks for the updates Robert. Good stuff.

 

[Spellbound]

Robert, you may want to add Gauntlets of Valor and Helm of Spirituality are additional turn-ins for 10,000 points.

 

[J.B.]

We just logged in 5 characters in the prisim dungeon, (6 Spell Weavers). And we only got a focus of 5 instead of a 6. Is this a permanent thing or is the prisim circle bugged.
I asked if all characters were 100 and above and they were all 100 + Spell Weavers, (With in the 20 range).

Shard Lake Superior

 

[Connor_Graham]

I don't know if this was intended or not but the Mininova Fireworks wands aren't being accepted as turn in items. Every other type of fireworks wand is but that one.

 

[Lord Kynd]

see... ya'll complained and complained, and now they pushed another publish out full of bug's

 

[Lord Kynd]

Boo, Hiss .....

I was hoping to have GM'd Magery by the time I got home.

umm so your at work. and by the time you got home ... scripting ? or unattended macroing ? blah maybe they will revert the shards and you'll loose all the points from the day for cheating.


pointing out the fact that you didn't say 'when' you got home you where hoping to do this. but BY the time you got home.

 

[phantus]

Like it is the fault of the posters that quality assurance sucks and the community relations team can't get patch notes right. Please....

 

[DarkScripture]

Thanks Barry, good catch. Obviously that was not fixed in this update and it should be removed from the patch notes. Will be addressed sometime in the near future.

Can a Dev out there reply and tell us about the change to the summons being igonered aswell? This was NOT in the patch notes.

 

[Hildebrand]

Why doesn't Robert's name show me that he posted when I click it on "developer feedback" on the main UOstratics page? It shows me the other developers posts, his just takes me to the main forum page.

 

[DarkScripture]

Any word on when the other turn ins that are not working will be fixed? I don't understand how this got a publish with so many pending fixes.. Origin was a test and it needed tweaks before a full release. Yet here we sit.

 

[Bazer]

Lol i was about to say the excat same thing lol.

 

[Alizaren]

Where'd the collectors go? The ones on Siege are gone again. Is there some special turn-in rope award one can use to tie them down so we don't have to use a level 3 T-map to find them every time we want to turn something in?

 

[athos_uo]

Quick reminder: For those inquisitive people, remember to mark any SPOILER posts you make regarding events.

This is my first time to hear this kind of statement from a member of the UO team. I think that other members think in the same way but they don't post it so directly and clearly until now as at this time.

I don't mean that it is not good, on the contrary I agree with you perfectly in this point.

So I'd like to ask you about it: Is this official views of devs? Does UO team think it preferable in general?

Again, what events? The strangers are gone it seems... I saw nothing out of the usual ingame today other than a crowd of people in Brit trying to get pixel crack.

hmmm, go to the test center for retribution? Read the book.

 

[kennykilleduo]

As everyone has noticed, Publish 54 did not go out when we intended. We are looking at pushing the patch out later today. Check the UO Herald for the latest info. Players in-game will get notification prior to the servers being brought down.

My apologies for the late notice on this. For those of you that may erroneously believe that Jeremy doesn't do a ton of work for you guys, I can say you are quite wrong. I'm sure we will all be happier when she returns from her well-deserved vacation.

Also, could a mod give me official status please?

Does this mean we are going to get a EXTRA special Five on Friday?

 

[athos_uo]

I have one more question regarding your last post on Herald.

Notice to Builders
Robert Mull
10 Jul 2008 17:54:53

As part of our effort to make the lives of home builders and interior decorators simpler and less stressful, we offer the following public service announcement:

You cannot place mouseholes on exterior walls

We thank you for your attention and patience. We now join our regularly scheduled broadcast of "Guards! Buy Me A Bank Box!" (already in progress)...

Could you tell me what the last sentence means?

 

[GalenKnighthawke]

I have one more question regarding your last post on Herald.

Could you tell me what the last sentence means?

It appears to be a joke, playing upon how people tend to speak elaborate nonsense sentences instead of just saying "bank" in order to access their bank boxes.

For example: "Vendor, buy the bank guards some recdu recsu and tell me thy destination so that i will take thee."

He apparently plays UO. Or someone told him "you know what'd be cool dude, if you _____." And that doesn't feel likely somehow.

-Galen's player

 

[Basara]

My favorite is

"For the love of god, will the vendor buy that man a new bank guards macro? I'm sick of hearing recdu recsu all the time"

 

[athos_uo]

Thanks for your replies!

Hmmm...Yes, that is a possibility or the right answer.

But "....a bank box! ( already in progress)" reminds me of the last item of Cal's interview by UO Forums once again. I'd like to citate it(many thanks to UO Forums!):

24) Regarding commodity deeds…What good does it do to place the Items in a deed when the only place you can transport them and “cash them in” is to a bank???? Why can’t we “cash them in” at home? What about making a strong box we can buy from the bank that allows us to “cash in” at home?

Be on the lookout for this during our re-introduction of Vet Rewards.

Doesn't the said phrase of Bob have anytihng to do with this statement of Cal?

 

[phantus]

He apparently plays UO.

-Galen's player

So that makes what? Two of them?

 

[spoonyd]

I think focus is all messed up now. We shouldn't be able to cast alone but you can't get a level 5 at a normal circle. You can only get em in Prism and there are no sixes anymore. Devs please anything? This is a big problem.
