By fixed, do you mean the old graphics will be back?
Also bring back the old daemon graphic and the old lich sounds, while you're at it ;P.
Aye, I also hope that this means that the old 2d grafics of the sheeps will come back to the 2d-client.
I don't care how they look in EC, because I don't play on EC, but please old grafics for the 2d client.
And the old daemon grafics are still present in 2d. I thinks it's only the summoned daemons which have the newer grafics.

yeah they seriously need to leave the 2d client alone...if they wanna go screwing up the looks of things do it in that new client,,u know the one Dev's spend all their free time working on, it will come out, 10 people will like it then it will be forgotten like that 3rd dawn crap and everyone will go back to the 2d client that we already love.....this is not WOW, its never gonna be 3d, hell it wouldn't even look right in 3d so just quit screwing with it!
Yup. As I mentioned, the animations for Legacy were never meant to be changed, that was an error on my part.By fixed, do you mean the old graphics will be back?

Before you do Grimm, could you arrange an invasion of demon-possessed sheep?

Off topic, but in High School (I went to a Catholic school) we had this young priest who was pretty cool. He put together a special feast catered at a local restaurant. This was a special deal and as close to realistic to the time of Jesus as possible. Other than the mutton and bread and wine, I don't remember what all we had. But none of us liked any of it. We just weren't used to it. And the wine was as bitter as it gets. The food was very forgettable, but the event itself very memorable.
As far as the mutton, not only did it taste very different from the hamburgers and fries we were used to, but it was very fatty. But this was even cooked a particular way to be true to those days, so it might not be a good representation.
Oh, and we wore togas.
Well I play ONLY 2D and I think the weirdo new sheep are still cute.
Besides once I fleece em they forget they got redone, and return to normal as if losing a lot of fleecy weight or something.
Either way, I think we LONG overdue for a SHEEP vet reward statuette.
I will take one either way yall make one 2D or extra poofy whatever it is they are now till we fleece, cuz they're CUTE CUTE I SAY no matter what client, we are lookin at em in !
I wouldn't call these bright sheep ugly, but I do agree 10000% that they have absolutely no place in the classic client. They are completely mismatched in every possible way and stick out like a very sore thumb. The worst part is the completely different lighting which is much brighter than our lovely murky and Ultima themed world lighting. Secondly they are sheep. Just generic normal sheep, where as the old sheep have the endearing Ultima character in them. Thirdly, the perspective is too much from the side, and weird at that. They almost look like they're going to topple over. Just compare to the dog that looks securely footed on four feet. Fourthly, they are missing the dark stroked edge. And I know I know, the edge was never intentional and only a side product of rendering the original 3d art, but it's still an important part of why legacy UO characters look nice the way they do. And besides, didn't U8 actually have intentional stroked borders? I checked and it did it did! That's the stuff I love! That for me is Ultima. Not this generic blob of glaring white fluff.
2D ... like we have no serious problems with UO ...
The old sheep were cute .. now they are huge and ugly ..
Good grief, why do I get the sneaking suspicion that they are gradually trying to ease those EC graphics into the classic client until it's so overrun with the new stuff that they will FORCE people to move to EC? Grrr...
Ok I should have clearly read through the whole thread before HAVING MY SHEEP HEART ATTACK! Haha *facepalm* Thank goodness... I'm so relieved. I was actually stressed out for a moment there. Someone needs to lock this thread
.Yeah it's just a sheep, but that endearing little creature -represents- our beloved classic artwork. Take one itsy bitsy sheep away, and you've just stabbed the soul and essence of the original Ultima style.
So Grimm, no sneaky slipping of EC graphics in until we're all fooled? You did however urge people to make the "give sheep love" thread... so I wouldn't be too sure. Folks we'll need to keep an eye on this. Pixel police unite!
Well I'm glad you didn't!
Since there was a call for some sweet sheep lovin', I decided to take up the challenge, just to show how endearing our original classic sheep is.

Those sheep themselves look decent imo, but they don't look like their edges blend properly with the background. The outline of them contrasts too strongly with it, and they seem a touch large.

Pretty cool. But what would it look like 10x larger, and polished?
Hahahaha Boura-sheep! 15th anny ethy...aww...saph even gave the new sheep a little smile face and an eye...so adorable
saph, your sheep looks awesome. but i think larger sheep, whether realistic or not, just seems weird in the CC. maybe for high-rez though.
i vote for Saphireena as the new UO-Lead-Artist.
I really think EAM should hire Seph
The first thing I thought when I saw the new sheep was "they look like they need a good feed" If any of mine looked that lanky, I'd have the RSPCA round lol.
This is an old pic of my sheep gathered in a pen. I'd love to see these in the farms at Yew...

Hihi thanks guys. And G.v.P no no, those are in fact the hi res versions (a continuation of my hi-res graphics challenge). So not that size for the current client. I like the classic sheep just the way they are and at the size they are. The point in making a hi-res version was to simply "reveal" why those sheep are so adorable. I just draw in the missing details that the big bulky pixels eat away, but I'm hoping that I am envisioning the details right and how the original artist saw them.
Oh and that little line at the sheep's muzzle ain't supposed to be smile, but in fact his nose or snout or whatever you call those for sheep hehe.

Awww how cute are those! A couple of years ago I went to Wales for my summer holidays and one of the most memorable things was how lush and green the grass was, and how cute all the sheep were, round little balls of fluff. Everywhere you looked, it was green velvet specked with round white balls. I'll never forget it.I really think EAM should hire Seph

That's ok - I've done that a few times myself.Ok I should have clearly read through the whole thread before HAVING MY SHEEP HEART ATTACK! Haha *facepalm* Thank goodness... I'm so relieved. I was actually stressed out for a moment there. Someone needs to lock this thread
Ok, I think we can talk artwork and style without bringing soul stabbing into the conversation.
The only animations in the legacy client that I'd love to replace are the hideous polygonal creatures like the Hydra, the Kraken, those kinds of things that are obviously below where I think they should be. But that will ever happen, so nobody has to worry about that.

TheGrimmOmen only stabs souls in private. Mind your own business!
More seriously, isn't there a possibility to have an outline (stroked borders as Saphireena says) on all the models (mobs and stills)? All the original 2D models have it but not all the following additions. To speak about recent stuff as an example, the new ships don't have a clear separation between the planks like the old ones, it's smooth and feels blurred.
Ok, this has gone too far.

2. "Stabbing the soul of UO. Really? If I were Grimm, I'd be upset. This team has poured its heart into this game. They ARE UO. You might as well be throwing knives talking like this.
