You can hold instruments now.



Well there is an image to for lute, flute and harp. Does not mean it will happen.

Also there is a new spellbook.







If you find some more info or pictures, post it here!

The instruments have been in the client for a while now, just not implemented...

The book is the 'Book of Bard Masteries'

I haven't looked at what was in there for a while. :(

The only other thing I see is the new boats. But those are cut up into 100 pieces.

this means they had a good use of resources... there are a lot of items on uo that if propely colored can be reused for many purpose :p

And those instruments are the bard mastery talismans, arent they?

If you want real pics, give me a minute..

Not all of it, but i'm out of time here. There are also thousands of ship pieces. I'll see if I can get pics of the ships before I go, but no idea on that..

Unfortunately it seems they've messed with how multis are displayed enough that InsideUO can no longer render them, so no new ship pics sadly. :(

On that note, if there are any that you want pictures of, i'd suggest making them before this gets patched out to everyone.

Looks like they only made the movement smooth. If you try to move when a ship is moving you get jerked around.

Looks like it'll be one big rush to get the good parking spots at the Floating Market. :D

So basically, smooth boat movement was just a clever way of luring people in to believing you would actually be able to move while on a boat. *Is not surprised in the least bit*. What a joke.

Hmm, I don't get why existing cannon ball graphics aren't used!

Knowing that the hold can hold up to 12000 stones are we going to have refresh the boat everyday like the old ones?? And are they going to build more docks for all the new boats.. "I can remember a time when you could not get within 20 tile from a dock anywhere..." And I would like to see something like dock rentals so when you get a spot at your local dock you will not have to worry about not having a place to dock when you get back.. I know I will be getting one of these boats when they come out.. And one more thing will we be able to hire NPC deck hands or not?? Just curious..

any reasons to pvp on the boats? I foresee trammel players invading fel if they can dominate the seas.

The ship I left at dock town disappeared! =[

It says the ship cannot be located when I try to use the recall rune. I went to the dockmaster and he says my ship is too far away to drydock.

I remember them saying something about making it where people can't just part and keep boats parked all the time around the market.

Screenshot from tonights Scalis.



Favourite part is the boat bottom of the pic, every tile occupied by an eel and the tiller man is yelling 'Arr, we be scuttled!'. :D

Ter Mur was never underground. It was basically on the other side of the world/plane/shard, similar to how people talk about digging a hole down to China. That's how it is portrayed in UO and that's how it was portrayed in the original Ultimas.

It is funny how the ships/graphics look way better in 2d than in the EC.

If this creature is only going to be in the water, than it is going to be a lot easier to kill not having to deal with any type of melee attacks. I could see him being insanely easy if you get one guy to tank drinking cure potions and have 2-3 people with healing skill constantly bandaging.

Or what if a tamer has a Greater Dragon and tells it to stay in the middle of the boat?

I haven't fought him yet to know what his special abilities are though.

I don't know about harder, but there's a distinct lack of being slapped with fish in that screenshot; He needs at least a "Whale Whirlwind" attack, where he spins across the screen holding said deep sea beastie...

When at sea why not increase the power of Water Elemental, & weaken a Rising Colusus. There basically opposing elementals. Heck, introduce a Greater Water Elemental ^^ or a Tsunami Elemental. You could even make Sea Dragons........

I think they need to hire one single person who actually knows something about the game they are responsible for because everyone on their team is clearly clueless.
