Official Bioware Mythic Ustream Channel

 

[Babble]

Deja vu

 

[Viper09]

Ooo!

Good topics.

 

[Mapper]

Looking forward to it, Would have been nice to see the EC in the chat list, But never mind.

Well, I am figuring that the SA Update topic will include the EC. Hope so at least.

The Ec came with the Stygian Abyss so should be a valid topic! I believe I am going to be helping with modding the discussions and questions and sense I also mod the EC board we will see what we can do

Wouldn't count on it.

 

[DevilsOwn]

this is the same channel/webpage/whatever that the Town Hall was broadcast on? did I have to sign-up for that? and if I did, does anyone remember my login?

 

[Storm]

here is the link and all you should have to do is use the forgot login name option

BioWare Mythic Live on USTREAM: The official UStream channel for all BioWare Mythic Games..

 

[Vlaude]

classic shard

 

[Tjalle]

Ask them why they chose to ignore Siege...

 

[Shelleybean]

Will this be recorded so that those of us can't make it can watch it later? It sounds a lot of cool things will be discussed.

I believe that is being looked into!

 

[Dermott of LS]

...

On the one hand, I'll have to miss it due to work (business trip)...

...

On the other hand, without anything said about doing ANYTHING on the EC (outside of content support), can't say that I feel like I'll be missing much.

Yeah, call me a "one-issue" player at the moment (no worse than the "classic shard" people really), but that's where I'm at right now. Had the EC not been such a graphical step backwards and then currently and effectively abandoned, maybe I'd be more interested in other facets.

So here's hoping for SOME information about the EC... either work to be done on it, or simply tell those of us trying to help the game forward that our efforts are for naught... one of the two (and no anti-modern client trollbois, I'm talking to the dev team here, not you "people").

 

[Babble]

So anyone want to bet they say anything about a classic shard?

 

[Lady Tia]

We will definitely be recording this barring no probs.

 

[Amren]

Can't make it.

Raiding RS10 that night.

I'm sure I will check in here later and see how horrible the Webchat is. can't help but wonder if they ignore all the important topics, and try and dodge questions they did not plan for.

 

[HD2300]

So anyone want to bet they say anything about a classic shard?

Yeah they will say they need another 12 months to make a decision. HAHAHAHAHAAAaa suckers!!! :loser:

 

[Shelleybean]

Cool,thanks.

 

[Babble]

Yeah they will say they need another 12 months to make a decision. HAHAHAHAHAAAaa suckers!!! :loser:

Pfff, I at least expect a soon or 'at this moment there is no intention of opening a classic shard, but that may change in the future'

 

[Beer_Cayse]

I'll just sit back and see how many folks relate that it's the same old song. <shrug>

 

[Merion]

I won't make it as it's going to be in the middle of the night in europe, but to those who attend: please grill them about the EC! It really needs to get out of beta!

 

[unified]

Oh, rats!

I really wanted to sign up using my Stratics username.

Whoever has it, I want you to cancel that account immediately, and check with me first before ever doing that again!

 

[MalagAste]

Hum.... sounds ok..... however what about the EC and Housing??

 

[Pinco]

This stream is for real UO Players... at midnight GMT... 1.00 AM here in the middle of the week :O

 

[I Play UO]

Awesome, everything I don't care about will be covered and the only thing I do care about won't be.

 

[sevan]

Can someone please ask the devs for an update on the Magincia rebuilding story arc/event?

 

[Gilmour]

I won't make it as it's going to be in the middle of the night in europe, but to those who attend: please grill them about the EC! It really needs to get out of beta!

it doesnt neseserelly needs to get out of beta, but it is overdue for some TLC

 

[MrWilliams]

Pfff, I at least expect a soon or 'at this moment there is no intention of opening a classic shard, but that may change in the future'

Sadly your probably right, they'll just keep stringing us along to prolong income from subscriptions.

 

[Whinemaker]

Will still be at work and can't make the webchat, but for the High Sea Fixes portion could someone please ask them to stop allowing legacy ships to be "scupper-able" when the account itself is not upgraded?

Thanks.

 

[Lady Tia]

Please post your questions here. I'm continually refreshing checking this post.

 

[jack flash uk]

stream not working

 

[tink'r_toiz]

With the current live story arc, it was decided that the Council of Mages Faction base would be moved to Moonglow. Do we have an estimated date that this will happen?

 

[jack flash uk]

can you see the feed?

 

[Storm]

we are monitoring the feed so we can still get any questions you have in

 

[woody]

i can not either

 

[woody]

will someone tell me some of what happening

 

[jack flash uk]

nice black screen TELL THEM TO SORT IT OUT

 

[Nyses]

you have to hit the Orange "join crowd" button in the top right corner. Then you need to sign in, or set up an account.

 

[woody]

i got a checkmark and says logged in

 

[JC the Builder]

I think this format of Q&A will improve in time. The sound was way too low, I had to turn my speakers up to 100% to hear everyone.

But it is confusing why they would say they would talk about Veteran Rewards and Holiday plans, but then say they are secret.

 

[Kylie Kinslayer]

And then at the end they say if you dont want the spoiler of what they are leave now. So you sit an wait... then the volume goes out on the broadcast right as they are starting to make them known

 

[Sellingahouse]

I missed it could someone please tell me what they said about fishing quest.

 

[TMC Crowley]

I like the dude in the back in red shirt the Fishing guy didn't even know fish don't stack at lower level . Did he ever try fishing or did he set it at 120 in tried it from there .

 

[SashaSeeks]

I missed it could someone please tell me what they said about fishing quest.

They said the repution drop problem should be fixed in pub 69. But they did not go into detail. Mark Mythic did not seem to have a clue on any of the problems that we have been reporting in UHall, or fisheman's board.

 

[Apetul]

I think they dont have a clue on alot of topics because, posting on UHall or any other stratics forum isnt exactly the same as "reporting bugs". They didnt know about the field spells problem, and there are thread with more than 100 posts about that topic.

 

[Uriah Heep]

But back in the day when we had a community laison, or rep, or whatever you want to call it, they read the forums and passed all that along.

I mean a UO dedicated rep, not someone who just drops over once in a great while from WHO.

 

[Skrag]

Yeah. Cal does his best to hang around here and read his PMs and stuff, but the lack of a real day in, day out community monkey is felt.

 

[kelmo]

*nods* The Dev Team is not paid to read Stratics. A post on a fan forum is not the same as an official bug report. We are fortunate the Devs spend as much time as they do here.

Ya, it's too bad we cannot post on the UO official forums............... Oh Wait, that's right Stratics now, IS the official UO forums.

You'd think if they actually cared about UO,(and not just the paycheck it provides) they would stop by and have a look once in a while. Or God forbid, actually log in and play once in a while. Call it continuing education, lots of professions require it.

Edit: and apparently they do not get paid to read bug reports either. Sorry I had to.
