[Mesanna]: Stoner are you there?
[stoner]: sorry sec
[stoner]: okay i emailed my question first beCause of the Complexity
[stoner]: Currently on EC it’s possible for a mage to be near invincible by setting a potion/apple/trapped box etc to target self/last, as
[stoner]: doing this prevents you from losing a held spell (EG Gheal). Is this a bug you’re going to fix?
Bleak says: With the steps to repro we can look at it and get it resolved
[stoner]: they are listed on the bug report on uoforum
[stoner]: full repro
Bleak says: We will take a look. Thanks for the report
[stoner]: link was in the email
[stoner]: okay thank you

Bereg Strongbow: Hey y’all.
Mesanna: good evening
Parallax says: Hello!
Bereg Strongbow: Just a quick feature request.
Kyronix: Ahoy!
Bereg Strongbow: Could you extend the red leaf functionality to include cartography created maps for RP purposes?
Bereg Strongbow: That way we could seal the map so it is uneditable, pass it around for stories between us with noone accidently overwriting it?
[Mesanna]: we can probably do that
Bereg Strongbow: It’d make a bunch of folks really happy
Bereg Strongbow]: Thanks, looking forward to Alpha starting!
Rav: Good evening!
Mesanna: greetings
Kyronix: Goodmorrow!
Parallax says: Hello!
Rav: I reported a bug in the forums a while ago about Cache treasure maps in a davies locker.
Rav: At GM Cartography, if the coords show as Unknown on a Cache treasure map, when I drop it to my pack it comes out as supply.
Rav] This only happens with Cache treasure maps and I can reproduce it every time.
Rav: Is this something that made your radar?
Bleak says: We will take a look into this
Rav: Thank you!
Rav: That was all I had Appreciate all your doing
Mesanna: night
Mesanna: greetings
UO Simp: Hi , I’d just like to suggest a few small additions , will do a quick bulletpoint!

UO Simp: to make or craft
UO Simp: Please add 1166 hue dye for arties/weapons (cloth and hair dye already exist)
UO Simp: Returning player and faction enthusiast, I fully understand that factions have come and gone
UO Simp: but was hoping for a little rememberance, if I could suggest the following.
UO Simp: Faction banners to match their old symbols/primary colors, bat, cross, spellbook, crow. Similiar
UO Simp: Order/Chaos banner vet
UO Simp: “Legacy” dyes and cloth to match primary and secondary faction colors. 1645, 1325, 1254, 1109

UO Simp: ty for keeping uo alive
UO Simp: all I had
Mesanna: greetings
Elizaer: Well that scared me
Elizaer: Hello!
Kyronix: Hullo!
Elizaer: I was curious if the season type system for NL was influenced by the recent uptick in battle pass type games
Elizaer: and, as general as it may be, with new stuff coming out like NL. Where do you see UO going in 5 years
Mesanna: no we are not basing it off battle pass type games
Kyronix: The primary goal with the seasonal play was to provide a fresh start so we can do some exciting and new things to encourage
Kyronix: engagement
Mesanna: UO has lasted for 26 years
Mesanna: I am not worried about UO
Elizaer: Ty all
Elizaer: That was it for me
Mesanna: walk to the teleporter please
Vanecrox Seacreu: Hello, would it be possible to include a button to disable screen shake which comes from EQ spells and some EM event monsters, without disabling all spell effects? It can be headache inducing during events and champ spawns.
Mesanna: ‘what client are you using
Vanecrox Seacreu: EC
Mesanna: we will look at it
Bleak says: I will see what I can do to target just EQ
Mesanna: anything else?
Vanecrox Seacreu: Would it also be possible
Vanecrox Seacreu: to increase the UI scaling to a higher value
Mesanna: I am going to say no at this time
Vanecrox Seacreu: Ok thanks, even at max UI scale it looks small if you use higher resolution
Vanecrox Seacreu: Thanks
Mesanna: most welcome
