Pet Res Deeds

If your server is that dead then SERVER TRANSFER. I wish EA would finally either cluster or combine the servers so that the populations could even out.
maybe its because winker is from Europa? which is hardly a dead shard unless your talking around 1am GMT onwards, but why cluster us in with the American shards isn't that the whole point of Europe having a server that's closer to us? and some of the other posters that are making this into a pvp related thread, a miner with a blue beetle has got nothing to do with tamers in pvp with greater dragons, you have already got a thread for that, use it!

an NPC veterinarian that can rez 0 taming requirement pets would be a great idea for a cost, if an NPC healer can rez me when I'm dead, then why can't an NPC veterinarian?

Having some form of Ressurection "Tickets" purchasable at Healers and Veterinaries would do no harm to balance at this point.

Say each ticket costs 10k and the price increase is large. For instance purchasing a second ticket within 20' would cost you 20k and so on. If your pet dies you can double click on it and target the ghost of the pet.

Or they could be player-crafted as proposed. They could even be Cursed to increase risk of having them.

I might as well add that I'd much prefer to buy such tickets for myself instead of looking for healers(and red ones are hard to find) and begging for ressurection.

It's an excellent gold sink and will help a lot in PvP and PvM.
They could cost x2 the price down in Doom, that greedy old man could sell them.

That, or have Wandering Veterinaries..

Crafting already has a similar system with its repair deeds, everyone has a crafter.. It harms player relationships but it does not harm the template and so the players themselves are responsible for the "damage" so to speak. They could choose NOT to create a Crafter if they only want deeds and instead seek other people.

That's the honest truth here.
Also consider how nice that would fit in if say, EA was to implement penalties for dying. It would even it out being able to pay to get ressurected anywhere, anytime.

or you could give more use to some of the shrines out there and let them be able to rez pets just like they can rez players, could even include a gold sink in that if you so want, so you have to tithe to the shrine for it to rez your pet.

Try going to Luna. Make a tamer (or two) as a friend. Lets not destroy the last vistage of the game where you actually need to rely on other players.
If the players were actually around you might have a point, but since they're not, you don't.

Why should i move? Why should i give up my castle and everything else i have worked for over the last 9 years?
Make a choice...keep your castle and stop whining about your server population or dump your castle and go to a server with actual population. Its your choice.

In DAoC, they clustered the servers so that you could move freely among the servers on your cluster. I'm not sure how that would affect UO though.

They could always scale the vet/lore based on the taming needed to control the creature. That would mean that you would need 0 vet 0 lore to res non tamer pets but you would need 110 vet/lore to res a dragon. Then make it so that other players can't res your pet at all.

I play Legends which is probably one of the most unpopulated shards, but everytime I go to Luna I see at least 10-12 people and at least 2-3 of those are tamers.

A couple of months ago I was going to make a post about alternate Vet/Rez needs. I was going to make that post beause of the lack of rezzers on my shard LEGENDS. Obviously you are more of a primetime player. I have spent a number of times wasting my valuable game time spamming for a rez. Luna is often full of pvpr's burning counts or it may have the infrequent crafter but Tamers are not in large quantity.

I agree with NPC's rezzing "non-combat" pets.

1. Put vet in your template.

2. Mine without a pet.

3. Mine with packhorses the way people used to do before there were bonded beetles.

4. Hang around and maybe even interact with players.

I do all my mining on foot on just leapfrog it around.
1. Put blacksmithy on your template.
2. Fight without a weapon (wrestle)
3. Change templates to a Mage.
4. Hang out and interract with blacksmiths.

Oh wait, they have repair tickets so you don't have to worry about any of that.

Which does prompt the question, how often do you guys try ICQing tamer friends or PMing tamers you know on Stratics when your waiting on a res? Do you not have a single friend who would change to their tamer to res your bug?

On Europa, we have a very friendly tamer population, numerous boardies, several who will come to aid someone if only they asked. Whenever there's a big event, everyone seems to have a tamer, yet in threads like these it's like the tamers are an endangered species. It would suit some if EA helped with some NPC vet method, but until that happens, I wouldn't just sit at Luna bank and wait. I'd call someone. Or ask people at the bank, not for a res (it's kinda obvious your pet's dead anyways) but, if they know a tamer who can res pets.

Yeah, i know the above constitutes stating the bleedin' obvious, but as I've not heard mention of calling friends etc, I decided to mention it.

Yes it would. For example, the tamer, able to go without vet skill, would take up a combat related skill in it's place.

You could argue that the same thing can already be done with the use of soul stones. This isn't quite so true: These can only be used once every 24 hours, so you're limited according to the amount you own.
Its totally possible for a tamer to go without vet now. Just rely on others to rez. So there's no imbalance issue with PvP. The only issue left (which I totally understand and support) is the lack of Player to Player interaction. But honestly, in most cases there isn't any now. I can't count the number of times I've been on one of my alt chars and see someone at the bank begging for a rez and either being ignored, or there not being a tamer around to help. That's why I always make it a point to ask them to wait where they are while I switch to my tamer so I can rez their pet. Despite the fact that deeds would remove some of the little PtP interaction we still have, I think deeds and NPC's are a good idea. With the population in constant decline something needs to change. Or at least allow us to log out with a dead pet, and rez it with another char on the same account. I am (and for just about all my UO career have been) self sufficient for the most part.

I'm referring to times when people that I know are either at work, asleep, or simply not online. The Tamers that I know of on Stratics are all on a different shard than I am, so that's no help. I'm against a deed, but I'm all for an NPC that can perform the function for a nominal fee.

The player interaction excuse is just that, an excuse. I don't know how many times I've seen Tamers walk OVER someone with a dead pet and not even bother to stop for 10 seconds to perform a rez.

The easiest request ever made, just add vet. The trouble is the larger issue of committed skills vice return. There is no more capable offensive investment than taming/ lore, and no greater sustainability investment than taming/ lore/ vet. If anything, an additional skill should be added to attain the offensive ability inherent to pets. I have a fully developed tamer, as does the wife, and we enjoy the characters - I see no need for any form of nerf. But seriously, enough already. Just add vet. For a ressurection NPC, fine, charge a ton for it, the final voluntarily neglected skill should require that.

I don't see much of a difference between a deed and an NPC. After all existing deeds have to be used at an appropriate shop anyway, so people would have to travel to a stable to use it vs NPC standing there.

For the reasons people have pointed out already, I think if either is put into game it should be limited to pets that non-tamers use such as horses, swampys, beetles (blue and fire) and lesser hiryus. And I am all for that as it is at times rather difficult to get a pet rez for these kind of pets. There have been times my mage had to buy another horse from stable master and run around with a ghostly horse following him. Other times my crafter had to stop playing cause his blue beetle was killed and there wasn't a soul in sight let alone a tamer. So I am all for a method for rezing pets that require 0 taming, but anything that requires taming should have to be rezed through a player using Vet skill.

In other words (says the Tamer) everyone should convert their chars to Tamers because the current Tamer population is too stuck on themselves to admit something that can be seen as a fault in their uppity class.

Sorry, my Meleer, Archer, Mage/Necro/SW, and 2 Crafters have no room in their templates to have Vet on each and every one of them, and suggesting they get vet simply to rez a mount that requires zero Taming to use, is nothing short of arrogance, not to mention quite obnoxious.

Want us to stop complaining about not being able to find a Tamer?

Then get your Tamer asses out around the banks and actually rez people's pets instead of ignoring them.

As a tamer and a profesional benksitter i would hate any other sort of pet rezzing. Sitting at the bank rezzing pets is my main source of interaction with other players. I refuse to rez unamed pets etc... makes it quite fun. Theres quite a few animals in oceania called "Ok Jah" or "Im NamedJah" etc. heheh.

Why cant tamers make pet res deeds like tailors or smiths repair deeds. You know how hard it can be to get youre pet resed some days? I have spent an hour standing at brit bank shouting for a pet res.

With the population going down on a weekly basis its just going to get harder to get youre pet resed.


Come on Dev's Pet res deeds cant be that hard to code can it?
This is a problem I face a lot. I play on Origin. If the ten people that play there (sarcasm do not slam me) are not around, then I just have to wait and wait and sometimes log out. The rez scrole would do but I would prefer a stable master or healer that will rez pets. I am glad that you brought this up. Thanks

I have a 9 year old tamer. With a stable full of pets. 2 of which are both 9 years old....long before bonding! Each one has name.

But my miner is a worker. His pet is a pack mount, a blue beetle. Which is still called "a blue beetle" coz its a work horse not pet! So there-for you would not res it!

This enforced the need for this to be taken out of youre hands

You mean that if Jah asked you to give it a name... You'd rather just sit there waiting for another tamer?

It's been pointed out that some tamers can already drop vet from their template and get their friends to do the ressing for them (meaning that a vet deed wouldn't give them further advantage).

But if it's already so "easy" to get a res then the deeds are redundant, aren't they?

I'm not saying it would be the end of the world to introduce deeds/NPCs for pets that have a 100% control chance without taming skill (though I don't like the idea). But it certainly should not be an option for the high end pets, at least not without some hefty penalties (skill loss/gold) attached.

I mean, let's face it, you don't all need to run around on swamp dragons and beetles. The stables already sell cheap expendable pets that serve more or less the same function. You wanna move at horseback speed? Ride a horse. You want to carry massive amounts of ore around? Buy some pack horses, you'll actually shift more then a blue beetle allows.

Nothing is stopping you from playing the game if your bonded pet dies. Leave it where people will see it, go buy a replacement, and go out and have some fun. More time spent in the field is more time learning how to stop your pets dieing in the first place (hint: if you're dead, log out on the spot).

Better yet, find some friends who'll be online at the same time as you are. If your shard is so unpopulated that this is impossible, then you should ask yourself why you're paying for a MMORPG in the first place. There are better single player games out there.

I mean, at the end of the day, I'm doubting the devs will seriously consider this idea. They're behind on updating enough stuff as it is. You might as well think of ways to make the best of what solutions are already available, not sit around daydreaming additions to the game.

I think we should restrict this method of resurrection to non-fighting pets. If a tamer loses a fighting pet, they should have the skills or take responsibility for finding a res.

If we included pets that needed say 50 skill or less to control, in the NPC res list, that would cover beginner tamers who wanted to res their polar bear etc.

Wenchy
i agree with Wenchy on this. Make the cost higher for the rezes. 250 gold is nothing for a noob to make. 1 escort in haven gives her/him 2 rezes. Make it more expensive so that they will learn methods of keeping their pets alive.

the pet rez deeds are wrong for this. having a npc "Veterinarian" who rezes like the healer in doom would be a better solution.

No, your missing the point!! Why the hell should there be an easy way to avoid 170+ skill points just so YOU can get a pet res??
He was asking for a res for a non-tamer pet. Please post a pic of every one of your characters, showing that they have enough vet skill to res their horses/llamas/squirrels/etc


If your on a dead server too bad. I'm sure that even you have a second account. Fire it up and put a freakin pet rezzer on it.
My legendary vet is quite capable of ressing his own pets, but is on the same account as my miner. Please give simple instructions as to how he is supposed to res my miners beetle.


OMG its the end of the world and we have to tie up dev time just to get a pet rezzer in game.
It would be developer time well-spent


Sheesh. No thank you!!
Move along to something else. This idea has been poo poo'd a few times.
Unless you can honestly say that you have NEVER used the services of an NPC healer to res your character, you are being hypocritical.

Ok, fair enough. I'm simply suggesting that people who regularly struggle to get a res could find out the names of a few tamers and call upon them if they got stranded. I realise not every shard has stacks of tamers, but I'm sure a lot of players know folks with tamers without realising it.

I haven't used player interaction as an excuse at all. Remember that some players pass by your pets for a reason - they have too little vet skill, no bandies, feel they'll take too long if you're clearly in a hurry, or don't actually have any vet skill for their pets, let alone yours. Don't just presume a player is being antisocial when they may have good reason to pass by. I'm not saying all tamers are wonderful, just to be aware that we can't all help you.

I finally got sick of depending on the whims of others and now have plenty of soulstones to swap over multiple skills, so I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Not everyone has this luxury. I know a lot of Tamers, but the problem is trying to find someone that's online during non peak hours.

That wasn't directed at you, but towards the other posters that use that flimsy excuse as a reason to deny this request every time it comes up. Funny thing is that there are more antisocial Tamers than there are social ones, so I'm not getting where they're seeing all this positive player interaction at.

You wanna move at horseback speed? Ride a horse. You want to carry massive amounts of ore around? Buy some pack horses, you'll actually shift more then a blue beetle allows.
Pack horses and llamas slow me down. I want to be able to load up my ore in my beetle and head off where I need to go. I don't want to stop every half a screen and wait for the horse or llama to catch up. When it comes to regular mounts, I don't worry about getting them rezzed. The only thing I am concerned with are my miner's beetles. (For the most part my char's all ride etherals anyway.) It's not always easy to get a rez for the few pets on my non tamer chars when I need one.

Nothing is stopping you from playing the game if your bonded pet dies. Leave it where people will see it, go buy a replacement, and go out and have some fun. More time spent in the field is more time learning how to stop your pets dieing in the first place (hint: if you're dead, log out on the spot).
So the fire beetle that I paid some guy 10k to tame for me should just be left as a grey eyesore and I should just go try to find another tamer to tame me another one? Wouldn't it just make more sense to get it rezzed? Oh wait, that's right, no tamers to rez is whats causing the need for scrolls/npcs to do the rezzing for them. Might make it hard to just leave my dead beetle and get a replacement for him. Kinda one of those catch-22 thingies.

Better yet, find some friends who'll be online at the same time as you are. If your shard is so unpopulated that this is impossible, then you should ask yourself why you're paying for a MMORPG in the first place. There are better single player games out there.
I started on Catskills, I 'grew up' on Catskills, I still live on Catskills, and I will most likely play there as long as the server is still up. It's my home. I started back in 2000. In the last 8 years the population of UO has dropped drastically. Shards that were once fairly populated are now almost ghost towns in some cases. Yet those shards have established players who call those shards home. Why should they quit UO and go find a single player game to play just because their shard population has diminished?

I mean, at the end of the day, I'm doubting the devs will seriously consider this idea. They're behind on updating enough stuff as it is. You might as well think of ways to make the best of what solutions are already available, not sit around daydreaming additions to the game.

Nice. My taming ass is out there, actually. I will rez any pet. Usually without even being asked. If I see someone standing there for awhile with a dead pet, I will also usually change chars to my tamer and go rez. Many other tamers I know will do the same.

But I'm on Baja, maybe we are less "anti social" there. rolleyes:

I hope you don't think I'm trying to get down on the tamers. I'm a tamer myself, but I don't bank sit. But when I am at the bank, and I see someone in need of a rez I head right over even if they don't ask for a rez. I've also been known to log off the char I am currently playing, and log back in with my tamer to give a rez if there's nobody else around. The sad fact is there needs to be another way to get help if theres not another player around that can give it. I don't see why we can't have NPC healers for our animals.

I think he maybe thought you were calling him a lazy good-for-nothing-so-and-so when you were meaning a pet. Though maybe it's against the TOS to insult one's pets as well as fellow players :D

I don't know, maybe some do. There are jerks in every group of people. Don't think most do however. If for the vet gains, even if nothing else.

You do have a point, too. I could defintely see the need of NPC vets when there is no one around.

Which is exactly the point. Tamers DON'T sit around the bank all day and night waiting to rez other players' pets. They're out playing the game. Yet we have some of the Tamers in this thread saying that everyone else should wait on them for a pet rez instead of being able to play the game themselves.

Sounds pretty hypocritical to me. :coco:

I agree leaving your pet dead and buying an expendable mount isn't viable. For one, it would take up more follower slots, which you need if you summon evs, elementals, familiars, etc. Plus it's just a pain in the butt. A few times I've been on my non taming characters, had a pet die and had no one rez it. Usually I'll just get frustrated and log into another one. Shouldn't have to, I agree. An NPC would be nice.

I don't think it's not hypocritical, some players just saw what repair deeds "did" for other professions and don't want to go down the same road and lose that interaction. I can see that point of view. While you as a pet owner can see the inconvenience of having to wait for a res, I know I'll either be camping the vet shop or losing a lot of interaction. Which I will miss. I think the tamers and non tamers will have much less need of each other, which suits some, but again, isn't great for some of us. That reliance meant you had to momentarily befriend a tamer to get a res. If the NPC does it, folks can (and will) treat tamers like crap all over. If that makes sense at all lol.

I think most will agree that repair deeds in general were a large backwards step in player interaction and need for working together. People used to line up at certain forges where blacksmiths would sit and do work for people. I think people are spoiled now in their argument that we need pet rez deeds. The main argument they have is, why should we wait? Well what did you used to do if there didnt happen to be a blacksmith there for you? What if you desperatly needed repairs and couldnt get it? You had to wait... people are far too into the 'quick fix' and drive through service. Not everything will be braught to you on a silver platter. Sorry... wait... no im not.
