They never added any slots at Samurai Empire OR Mondain's Legacy. If they had, I might have agreed. I still go back to my original argument, other skills don't have to choose or pick what weapons or magic they want, tamers shouldn't either, at least not as much as they do now.
Yes, we ALL play the game JUST LIKE YOU. No one plays different AT ALL. We all have to have what you have or we are playing wrong. Yeah ok.I have to be missing something here. This stable slot issue comes up constantly around here. I have a tamer, and I don't use the stable slots I have now. I have a greater dragon, a dread mare, a cu sidhe, and then a few token pets like battle chickens and such. If you need more stable slots, then
I said it before, I'd rather have 0 then 2. Like someone else said. Adding 2 seems like, "oh they're complaining here's a nickel and leave me alone." it can't be that hard to change the 2 to a 5 or 8.
You have a terrific attitude.
No there was absolutely NO limits on the number of pets you could stable originally and YES there were NO limits on the number of pets you could have out and NO there was NO pet bonding. And just to inform you there WERE NO LIMITS ON THE ITEMS IN A HOUSE ORIGINALLY. Now there are the FACTS YOU HAVE BEEN LACKING.
Becareful what you ask for. There are always issues when the Devs play with housing and tying a Char to lockdowns = Nightmare (and not the horse)
I'm aware of the circumstances and the context and my comment still stands. Disagreeing with my viewpoint does little to undermine it; perhaps you mean to attack Kiminality directly?Whilst terrific in the right circumstances it seems a little strange when we, the paying customers are grateful for whatever bone we're thrown.
You have a terrific attitude.
They just did that. They're offering 2 more slots than we had a week ago. Is this not enough? We got our extra mile, must we push for another?
What's wrong with saying, "Thank you", or perhaps, "We acknowledge you're terribly busy working on the expansion and the new client, trying desperately to ensure the longevity and commercial viability of the game for the future, but thank you for swiftly meeting a completely arbitrary demand that you could have easily postponed or ignored like so many before it"?
Absolutely not.
I dont think we did get our extra mile. A couple of hundred yards maybe ... but not a mile.
So ... which 2 SA tamables are you going to go for? And if more than 2, which pets (which you may have spent months searching for and months training) are you going to release?
First off enough, extra mile etc are subjective to the individual. So the question of asking for more is rather rhetorical don't you think? Besides what better time than now to ask for more? People express an interest and someone on the UO Team changes the 2 to 20. Is that really a product delaying action?
Absolutely nothing wrong with it and I believe there are several threads here that do just that .... and not to mention severl posts in this thread that do just that
?" or should we see if a compromise can be made.Awesome points. I wonder what would happen if Warriors got a "bonus" that they could add to a favorite weapon of 50% di that also upped the cap on di. Even if they got 3 for each 120 skill. Would people persieve it as a nerf or really a bonus?
Yes because sicking them on a shadow ele is extremely difficult.
I don't like this because they'd have to find a way to balance everything else.
How about because the SA expansion gives us LOTS of new in game items. Tamables is one of these new items except to get the new tamables you have to give up your existing ones. This doesnt apply to any of the other in game items that are being made available. Surely that cannot be right?
I don't see why the game should be modified to fit specific wants. If they did increase the slots 2 more, it still wouldn't be enough to fit the amount of new tamables.
Where did i say it was difficult? It is very boring though. I'm sure if i decided that i wanted my warrior to use a different weapon i wouldn't want to spend days hitting one thing just so that the weapon was effective.
We're not asking for pets with the best stats/skills. We're asking for more variety.There is no reason to give an argument against extra slots when no one can provide a feasible reason for more pet slots. In reality I'd like 100B in gold and a bunch of bows with every mod possible on them. I mean we're not asking to use two of them at once right?
You do switching from macing, swords, fencing etc. However the increase in skills from a pet should take more time. Especially with a greater dragon.
None of my bows give me extra skill.
But you can have as many as you want, right? We are not talking about the type or quality of the bow/pet ... just how many you are able to own.
Remmember this is only about storage not skills that helps out every template in the game not just tamers. My sampire has a lesser hyru and a swampie is it hard to ask that I can't get a ferret, bonded beattle, a golem, a group of packies bonded for me so i can loot when idoc hunting, And new tamebles for 0 taming that I can get? Without me having to play stable swapping all day?
Technically speaking, archers don't need the reduce weight benefit that quivers give them. I mean, you can always recall back home and get more arrows, right? So let's remove the weight reduction benefit of quivers.
Probably a spare mare or three, or a white wyrm or four, or a dragon or two, or I could sell of some of the dread mares stuffing my stables, or gawd knows I have far more cu sidhes than anyone could possibly ride at any one time.
I dont need the reduced weight benefit. I carry several quivers.
I'd agree, they could remove it and I'd be ok with it.
When an item gives me the equivalent skill of an animal, or the carrying capacity, I'll agree.
Point and case?
Please do not confuse stable slots with control slots. Please?
I wasn't.
Nope other characters have there own animals including my collection of bunnys. I really don't see what anybody could have against this. I though everyone wanted tamers to start using other creatures? I'ts only storage thats it.
?? There is no violation of roc. ???
In that case I ask EA give me 100B gold because this would make the game more enjoyable for me.
So what repercussion would there be to be a tamer? Where is the balance?
Actually You are the one that doesn't have his facts straight!
I respect an argument like this. It is more thought out than some of the other arguments I've seen here. I do see one flaw, however. When you say a mage has to make a choice because they don't have the gold, this doesn't sound like a game limitation of the mage class. It sounds like a player skill limitation. This is akin to a tamer who doesn't have power scrolls to be able to tame and control some of the higher end pets.
They have other characters as well. Tamers now are limited to only using the most powerful pets even though they could use pack animals which deal as much damage more so than any of the high end pets just weak defensively unfortunetly they don't have room for such things so many haven't even experienced such command and tactics which is sad.
Berethrain, I don't put any stock in your arguments because they are all flawed. The tamers aren't asking to be given a token that would give them a max trained/max stat greater dragon. They are asking for the ability to attain additional pets. Now if you asked EA to implement the ability to possess 100B gold (I don't know if it's possible with lockdown limitations and what not), then that would be more similar to what tamers are asking for. You use an example which doesn't prove anything.
Pack animals take up 1 slot, let alone I've seen only 1 person actually use them versus a greater drag. Even if they increased slots I highly doubt anyone would use them then either. But I dont get why you'd go into a situation with the wrong animal?
I like it when you pick out part of something and do not respond to the whole part. You want balance the you may only have 1 of everything for all of your chars. Your wep better be UBW and your suit better me mage so all your chars. can use them and I will just keep my GD.
