[*]Group Bracelet of Binding ; This item allows you to bind with 10 people at once. Handy for those times when part of your group is lost or has issues with running into trees and being left behind.
Even as a non-PvPer, this immediately screamed "PvP ambush squads" to me....
As an occasional Solo-PvPer this immediately screamed no more 1v1s/1v2s/PVP to me.... Who needs an Orny or nice imbued bracelet when you can wear 10 of your friends on your wrist?

Thank you that was driving me crazy. Spell check = professional.

The trial account only being able to use the help channel makes no sense. If a noob needs help the LAST place they are going to find it is in the help channel. Besides, global chat is something someone should be able to use and learn about before deciding on buying the game or not.

Most likely because of the goldsites spamming in general chat.

I think many people set out to help newcomers/returning players, will listen in the Help channel so I don´t think there will be any problems with that.

Only concern I have is that the goldsites might snatch some of the new players from the start with their offers and "rob" them of their starting experience...

I wonder if you have to have it locked down in a house to use it?
It will be interesting to see how much they have thought about "return trips"

I guess we will know in a few days :p

You can look at it this way.....

Could also work in favor of the victims of the PvP ambush squad if they have more friends with more bracelets :p.

PKer clicks ring *BAM!* 10 PK's there instantly.

PvMers click rings *BAM!* and 30 + friends show up.

Just make sure you have more friends and different friends binded with more rings :p

Why can't the Blessed Statue for Reagents be like the Sheep Statue & have the reagents keep building daily (even to a hundred or so) instead of stopping at 1 days amount (usually 6 to 9 of 1 reagent)? Never could see why this didn't keep adding daily instead of stopping. Seriously kind of a useless item IMO.. could we get it changed by chance?

Re: [UO Herald] Publish 73 Comes to Origin

Wow this one really surprises me.

We have gone to hey lets look at what we can do in Shame, right to hey lets push it to a production shard. There wasnt even the question of, should we do this.

People honestly must not be paying attention to Origin, because the item intensitys are rolling like those on the shard of the dead. Is this what you want for you? To remake your suits again?

We as a community have already in UOs history had to completly remake our suits once when we went from powers/vanqs/invuls to our current system.
Then basically a secound time with imbuing. The first time out we lost basically half the community in 3 months. The secound time people treated it a little different because lets face it we could all make the same things anways.

Now your going to tell me i have to remake all my suits AND farm in Shame to stay competitive? Have you seen the items on Origin? You really dont see this in your future? LOL

Honestly i read this thread and i see a whole bunch of concern over item transfers LOL. Oh boo hoo it was the first time EA let you get an item that they ONLY sold for cash, but instead of being thankful you want to cry.

It kind of makes me laugh, because this will be it, there will be no returning back to having active pvp on active shards. This will be the deal breaker, the end of pvp we are not talking about losing some of our pvpers lol were talking about losing half or so of them.

If you are not concerned and are only concerned about shields (LOL) then you are a trammy and shall inherit whats left of UO.

Youll get everything youve ever wanted fel free mining, able to chain despise, the only problem is youll have no one to trade with. I hope getting that cool item was worth it LOL.

Why does everyone see this as needing two of these rewards to go back and forth? It says it gives you a transfer token. So why not just claim your transfer token then just transfer to another shard with the shard shield? I can see that you might want two of the rewards if you don't want to wait a month but otherwise I don't see any other problem.

It all depends, as I see it, with the actual way that these Shard Shields work...

"If" their Shard representation is variable, i.e. it changes, for example every day at server maintainance, and the shield can work off of a bank box and does not require to be locked down in a home, then you could be correct as the player who is, say, on Pacific, picks a Transfer Token on the day that the shield represents, say, Atlantic.

Then moves to Atlantic carrying the shield and then off the bank box on Atlantic, over the course of the following month (only 1 account bound token can be generated per month...) checks out the shield for several days until it represents Pacific. When the day comes, the player picks the related account bound transfer token for Pacific and goes back to that shard.

But if the Shard Shield does not work this way, and it is fixed for good on a given shard without ever shifting onto another shard, or it needs a home to be locked down to generate the account bound token, I hardly see this as possible.

So, it "could" be a cool and handy thing for players, but it really all depends on how it truly works as to be really cool and handy it needs to be capable of shifting shards (I would say daily since there is a LOT of shards out there before it selects the wanted shard...) AND be usable off of a bank box.

Back to the 'does it need to be locked down' though - so far the only folks who know for sure have not told us, but I can't think of any other 'item generating house addon' that doesn't, from the cat statue in the older gift tokens, through the tree stump, mining cart, and pirate/dolphin rugs in the vet rewards scheme. I'd be pretty confident this shield is going to work the same way, but we really could use someone at EA clarifying.

Re: [UO Herald] Publish 73 Comes to Origin

What exactly are you asking here? Unfortunatly I have to do further testing in Trammel because there are a few nubs in Fel pk'ing everyone in Shame right now lol.


But while I was still able to kill the mobs in fel, I got nothing above greater magic item, a few minors and a lessor. Gonna head back in Tram with my luck suit and do some more testing.
Sorry I wasnt clear,, my question is whether in Tram or Fal,,did they do anything to change the fact that every worthwhile item (artifact level) seemingly always has brittle (25 dur), cursed, and no repair, which essentually makes them worthless? Did they add the missing things like slayer etc? Did they modify the armor so that at least some of them have reasonably high resists or are they all so godawfully low? What about the jewelry without durability? Basically,, all the feedback that the player based asked to be modified before the patch was deployed. Thx in advance

Well, let's take Soulstones which are also account bound, shall we ?

The first step, the token which generates them which we "could" alike to the Shard Shields, can be openly transferred to any other account.

Only when the token is actually used to generate a Soulstone (as the Shard Shield would be to generate the transfer token), the resulting item becomes "account bound".

And, in order to generate the second item (the account bound Soulstone), there is NO NEED WHATSOEVER to have the token be locked down in a home. It only needs to be in the player's backpack and it then generates an account bound Soulstone into the Bank Box.

All this, to basically say that IMHO, the Shard Shield could very well work the same way, that is, not be account bound and be capable of generating account bound transfer tokens while being held in one's own backpack (or within one's own Bank Box) with the generated transfer token, account bound, appear in one's own Bank Box.

Of course, this is merely guessing from me using the account bound Soulstones generated from a not account bound token.

Re: [UO Herald] Publish 73 Comes to Origin

On a 97 month old account I saw the sheep statue, the bracelets, and the seed box. The bracelets and seed box were sandwiched between the corrupted crystal portal and the weapon engraving tool in the miscellaneous section, so I'm not sure how old your account actually has to be to claim them. The sheep statue was the last thing listed for my 97-month character under the house add-on section of vet rewards. Don't have any other accounts with different ages that are currently eligible for vet rewards.
The patch patched, I am showing 7-0-19-1 as of this morning after it patched. BUT NONE of the new vet rewards offers are showing on ANY of my 4 accts. :( No clue why that is !

3 of my accts. are stuck not aging this fall but if the patch patched shouldn't matter we should then SEE the new rewards on lists of accts. that range from 10 yrs. and up at least even on the ones they didnt age this yr./fall.

I'm sad, not seeing the rewards at all, the patch PATCHED I should see em !

Red soulstones, claimed as a vet reward, do not come as a token. They come as the soulstone itself and is account bound as soon as it is claimed.

That is true but in that case, the final item comes straight as the reward while, in the case of Shard Shields, there is another step before the actual account bound item is created.

This is why I thought about the Token which generates account bound Soulstones, because I saw it, being in 2 steps, closer to the Shard Shields rather than what the one step period Red Soulstones might be......

Hi Folks...I probably should have clarified that shot a bit:

I was using one of the characters on Origin that I claim gifts with on that shard to check out the menu for the new rewards. I did not select any Shields on Origin, either; it was simply a look at the selection.

I was in the Inn when I took the screenie, however, those Shields are on the last page of House Lock Downs that can be selected.

I am hazarding a guess that these Shields will need to be Locked Down in a House, as that is where they appear on the selection gump (House Lock Downs). Then, as long as have a Shield for a shard I want to visit as well as a return token that I would get from a "Home Shard" shield, in my case, and the available empty slot on the shard I want to visit, I think it should work fine.

Based on the selection, a person will need one of each to visit all shards, I am thinking, but i could be wrong, for sure.

Why would we? Tokens for anything do indeed work in banks, and without being locked down - and that is absolutely irrelevant to the question about how the items produced from tokens or chosen as veteran rewards, function. The soulstone does not itself generate any resources or items, whilst all the examples I mentioned do.

How does one find out "who" to return it to (ad where to find this who...) ?

Also, I have read posts saying that the Honesty Virtue is not worth the time it takes to build it up since the advantage goes away pretty fast (i.e. dots get used up really fast when buying...) and, therefore, a player's time might much better be spent just hunting something else for gold or items to sell and then pay whatever NPC good at full price without bothering with the Honesty Virtue, entirely...... Is it still so or has this been addressed to make this Virtue more worth the time it takes to build it up ? If so, how ?

Were there any changes to the new loot system in Shame since the release on TC last week?
I assume that test center has the same publish as Origin since the dyes have been added to the spring cleaning on Test. The hunting I did yielded the same results as last week. If they made some changes, I was not able to identify the changes. I still didn't see anything with mage armor, spell channeling, etc. I don't know if it's the RNG or if they flat out don't spawn. I did find a labeling mistake, an extra space in the title of some items. Hopefully this evening I can post a screen shot of it.

Using Forensic Evaluation on a lost item will tell you the name of the person who lost it and the town in which they reside. The higher your Forensics the better chance you have of getting the name, though at roughly 60 Forensics it's possible with a few tries.

Before the publish, time spent getting to knight of Honesty was insane, and the decay rate was even more so. I have yet to test this since the last publish.

Popps, this thread is not about the worthyness of things.

At least now the item could have value so :

it means something to return it for honesty...

you see ?

But if you do that devs, please make it so when you keep a artifact or higher, that you loose ALOT of honesty should you choose to keep a powerful item, that would have a nice touch to it.

Muah.

I can just imagine the discussion at UO HQ.

"Hey guys, yeah, we need to cancel the new loot/item system. Yeah I was reading the forums and replacing equipment once every three-to-five years is just too much for SugarSmacks. Look, he doesn't want anyone else being more powerful than him, but doesn't want to ever have to replace any gear either. So no new items ever."

Yeah everyone in Trammel totally notices and/or gives a crap about you guys. Sure. What ever would we do without those five guys at Yew Fel gate to trade with?

Re: [UO Herald] Publish 73 Comes to Origin

The items are still usable even though some dont think. Big deal if you have to change suits here and there. Nobody is forced to use any of the new loot.

With imbuing and artifacts already most wont but these items can be used for other purposes. Just like some players dont have all their characters decked out with high end armor. I know my mules just have decent suits to get around in. They are the sames ones that they have been wearing for years.

I lived in fel, played in fel, gathered resources in fel, and all about fel but I am the biggest trammy you will see. PvM is just important as PvP is. How did I make those hundreds of millions of gold in the game? PvM of course. PvP was just relaxation :) . Plus I have a slight fetish for RP when it suits me :p

I was just talking with someone on Origin about this bug in which any old item placed in a 2nd container can change while in Shame...and I honestly couldn't understand the details of the supposed bug, but just wondering if there is a specific thread which lists all the bugs--aside from the EV bug, which is fairly obvious--which made it onto Origin. If the 2nd container bug is real, I haven't been able to replicate it yet...but if it's real it's a fairly serious bug.

By the way, I must have missed it cause the EV bug is def on Test, too. Hm.

Something else interesting, thanks to Frarc for asking the question.

Lost items have the new item properties it seems AND they now have a timer that shows how much time you have to turn them in.

Very nice!

Wait so does that mean they still just spawn off the ground randomly? Not found as loot on new mobs? Lame.

As an occasional Solo-PvPer this immediately screamed no more 1v1s/1v2s/PVP to me.... Who needs an Orny or nice imbued bracelet when you can wear 10 of your friends on your wrist?
You can look at it this way.....

Could also work in favor of the victims of the PvP ambush squad if they have more friends with more bracelets :p.

PKer clicks ring *BAM!* 10 PK's there instantly.

PvMers click rings *BAM!* and 30 + friends show up.

Just make sure you have more friends and different friends binded with more rings :p
Key word: Solo-PvPer

Sorry. I meant to post the whole quote not just yours.

Solo pvp is far and in between in UO anymore anyway. Its gank or be ganked 99% of the time.
