It's cute how people who PvP think they're the only people playing this game.

Maybe because that is all you see in Felluca?

Loss of bio-diversity is putting Felluca near extinction...

Snip the umbilical and dump it already. Nothing of value is lost.

WidowMaker... on Drachs there was a guild that would cast flamestrike and hit us when we came in range... 6-7 flamestrikes on the same target. After we got 7 jamies on the battlefield... that same guild would consistently lose connection and would die in a matter of seconds... ultimately they left Drachs, beaten by a name... jamie.

What was going on?
They were using a targetting script... the multiple names made them lose connection or freeze... or most of the times attack the wrong target.

The cheats are real...

Sad.
Just because people can organize and synch spells they are cheating?

That's how good players PvP together, synch spells on one target.

And no, they probably weren't scripting. Because if they were scripting their targetting having the same name wouldn't throw them at all.

It would, however, make it difficult to call targets. When people come at me like that I'll identify them by a weapon type or artical of clothing that separates them.

Anyways, your post made me lol.

UO isn't spiraling the drain.
True. Though UO loses subscriptions everytime dev actually takes one of these crazy forum posters suggestions. Could be the Reason stratics removed
The ideas forum and never brought it back they realize the people killing uo are the same people who believe they know whats good for it :)

That's just stupid, there are A LOT of people here that know programming and don't script and know how scripting works. For some reason, UO has always attracked the geek type. Now how a program works is simple all you have to do is learn the syntax of a particular language and off you go.

if(posioned) {
drink cure potion
}
if(hitpoint < maxpoints && (timer >= lasthealing + timetoheal)) {
apply bandage
}
if (hitpoint < potionhitpoints && (timer >= lastpot + timetopotl)) {
drink heal potion
}
if (stamina < targetstamina) {
drink refresh
}

That's very simplified and wouldn't really work in any language as is, but is just for an example how ANY programming basicly works.

You act like 3rd party scripting is some very mysterious thing that can't be understood unless you do it. That's either just really nieve, or some really lame defence of 3rd party scripting.
If you understand programming then you would have understood what i said. You can not know how something will react in an environment with out testing it out (do you think QA testing in programming is for fun?) honestly, its not naive nor defensive since i don't agree with anyone saying what it can or can not do, since i have not tried to do it personally i don't know if it would react the way i *THINK* it would, at the same time I'm also very sure a good programmer can in fact make a script that would have nearly no hindrance to them (as i stated, thus giving everyone who scripts the benefit of the doubt that they all know how to program and well) My status had nothing to do with anything being mysterious it was a fact. you have to in fact test something in programming to know what it will do. so if you HAVE done it, and it did or didn't work, does it really matter? my point was "why do it in the first place". I don't even know how you concluded that i assumed people didn't know things when in fact my entire post would imply they did (as i didn't explain the part where in programming you have to test it to know it "wont" work). Heh, i think i mentioned this in my last post as well but "flame on"

and I must agree, people who cheat lose to people who don't cheat, people who don't cheat also lose to people who do cheat, fact is you lost because you lacked the skill to kill that person in 'THEIR' element, change tactics go back try again. enjoy the good fight and have a good time everyone[/QUOTE]
You impied that people that do programming use scripts if they can tell how a script works. Also you inplied that people had to know how to program to use scripts

I suppose you can say every one scripts or knows how to program because they use programs, UO window, Word. Any one using a computer therefore is a scripter, eh?

By the way I have never lost a PVP fight, because I never PVP. Although if I did PVP I am sure I would lose plenty.

No I implied everyone saying that a script is a hindrance has to have programming knowledge AND have used the script, if you simply use a script written by someone who CAN'T program well, then it will most like hinder. If you know programming and have NOT used the script, you can't know it is a hindrance. And my pvp statement was not to you, I am sorry you took it like that, I should have quoted the guy it was to, either way your assumptions to my implications should be left at the door. If someone tells you what they are implying you can not say they implied something else, are you in their head? Oh well all my statements still stand.
