[UO Herald] Publish 78.0 Comes to TC1

[Zosimus]

Just to get my two cents in:

I'm one of the "nostalgia" players...
I feel like I've been chased away from dungeon after dungeon.

I know there is nothing I can do about it but shake my head sadly and walk away from Despise forever just like I did for Coevetious and Shame and Wrong.
I'm starting to feel that nobody want us oldtimers around anymore.

For the first time in my life I can imagine a UO with everything I love about it being gone.

I can relate to what you said. The thing is most dungeons was not being used anymore and adding more landmass was not the answer.


So changing the dungeons and updating them to more of todays standard was much needed. They have to compete with todays MMO's and something had to spice it up.


You just have to choose what you think is fun to do and truly what you love about UO.


You can always just wear plain armor with no mods, no insurane and no jewelry go hunt in fel and if you get pk you almost feel like it was the old days


Or just move to Siege

Don't get me wrong I like some of the changes... just Despise had a great function for training up all kinds of skills... and finding the right monster for the job... now I'm just annoyed.

I hate the ephemeral junk.... No use for it at all and if Despise turns out anything like Cove I may as well not bother.... after spending tons of time in Covetous I've yet to get a drop at all..... totally reminds me of Doom which also hates me still.... can go there over and over and over again and come away empty handed every time..... for awhile after they made some changes there I could usually get a drop once very 4 or 5 times thru... now back down to non-existent. Waste of time.

 

[Uriah Heep]

The problem with Cora in Covetous is for a mage, in all 70's, she still one hit kills ya. And to be honest, when I see one hit kills, Im done with that, period. I don't mind tough so much, but if ya cant jockey and joust, just get wiped out with one spell, what's the use??

 

[NuSair]

I guess if anyone who currently plays UO wants to try to recruit friends and family into the game, the best advice we're supposed to offer them is to spend the following amounts of money to get themselves into the game and kinda, sorta up and running and ready for adventure:

• $30 for the Stygian Abyss expansion and one month of playing time.
• $30 per character for advanced character tokens.
• $15 for the High Seas booster so they can go hunt pirates with us and try fishing.
• $12 to get their own large boat for when we're not around to play with.
• $30 to bump up their house storage and have access to 7 character slots.
• $10 to get a raised garden bed, be able to brew their own liquor and puke it on the floor, and buy pre-tamed pets at the bazaar.

They should offer a package deal.

All that for $30. And drop the advanced character tokens to $20.

 

[Delbrie]

So how do you get the arties? Can you get it just by killing stuff and hoping for the rng or do you have to do the wisp war quest?

 

[Lady Storm]

While change was needed in alot of the dungeons most of the changes are aimed at large groups.. When was the last time you saw enough players on say ... Sonoma to go run the mess at covetous? or have enough to do the mess at Wrong... dont get me wrong in this I wanted change... but this was not it. I have quit going to any other lvl of shame but 1 its not worth it. Covetous... well I use to go for feathers and have fun with the spider... now forget it not going there. Just dont have that many friends left to do anything. Now the changes to Wrong... well its alot more dangerous, and stupid. That maze thing is a pain in the Bloody tush. Who ever came up with that p.o.s. is in serious need of training. Some of you might have it figured out but for the rest of us who just wanted some change this is far beyond what we wanted. Now I hear the changes to despise... omg! Where do you expect me to send with some asemblage of safty any young to kill and gain exp???????? Not to mention my leather hunting....
Word of advice to the DEV .... Keep your bloody fingers out of Destard. The only thing we need in there is the damn G dragons to spawn in the far room not the main room so you can get in the bloody door and not loose your socks to a fire breath. Kapesch?

...wow

First off, Covetous is easily soloable if thats how you want to do it (Considering you don't need to do Cora to get the arties). In fact, if you WANT to kill Cora, shes easier in a small group. Secondly, Wrong is easy as well.....I dont see how you can say its hard. The maze, is SUPPOSED to be challenging (Its a damn maze), but really is useless since Assassin Edge weapons suck. Shame increase in difficulty as you move levels (as it should), but really is still easy, and is no way requiring a group effort.

Now for Despise, it is even EASIER than every other dungeon revamp. The monsters in despise are REALLY easy to kill. Not only that, but the final boss gives interesting new arties, everyone has to use their pet (Thus putting everyone and a pretty even playing field), and at max you need like 3-4 people.

You bring up a point of, where are you going to farm your spined leather?...Well lets see........

Leather - UOGuide, the Ultima Online encyclopedia

Notice there are some prettttttty easy to kill mobs on the list for spined you can farm. Lets also mention that if you REALLY want to kill nothing but Lizardman, you can get ALOT of them @ the sleeping dragon spawn, or you know LIZARDMAN VILLAGE. Ya know the whole village made up of Lizardman in Ilshenar? Or is a paragon lizardman going to be too much?

God forbid players are made to actually go out and play/enjoy other areas of the game.


Final thought, Kapesch? I guess you mean the Kepetch in Ter Mur...Not sure what that monster has to do with it.

 

[Ludes]

I totally agree with MalagAste here.. I like most all the changes.. EM Events.. The new craftiing skills.. Even the new story lines...
I just feel that were a lot better places to add this new stuff. None of which I am disparaging.

I'm not saying new stuff is wrong for UO, I'm just saying don't trash everything old.
There are many people here that choose their own style of gameplay to a point of customization that no other game offers.
Oh, and a lot of these people are the ones that have many many moons of payments into it.
So many people above have shown other areas that this could have been done with..

I try so hard to see things from the "other guys" viewpoint.. But I still can't see why it had to be Despise.

Despise should have been left alone.. In My Opinion only of course.


P.S. Oh and Crap! I never got my Peace/Archer up to the Ogre Lords... Too late now.

P.P.S. Yeah sure I'll go to Fel but than I have to change armour and all that..

However... I do spend more and more time on my Siege char....

I bet you're one of those players that enjoys training up ninjitsu 0-120 on ish champ spawns.

What and you train it in despise?

Haha actually I do :/. Lizard men respawn fast... and you can mana leech from them.. Are you spying on me?

Is that bad?

And you still can

** and I know Puni doesnt train on Lizardmen...

Yeah I know.. not disagreeing with ya.. but it's not the same...
I'd rather have gone to somewhere unused at all to play with the new stuff.

 

[Ludes]

Just so you know I've never played a tamer and I have no idea how to get something else to tank for me.. I'M always the tank.. so the new Despise is pretty much not gonna fit into my gameplay style..

I've always plainly stated that I only have time to worry about my own gameplay style.

So that being said... the "new" Despise isn't gonna work for me.. but that only applies to me.
But "new" stuff is still cool...

I'm just curious? Will there be anyplace left to go feel "old"?

Im guessing you havent even tried the new Despise. Playing a tamer doesnt matter, the "Pets" so to speak dont react to commands. It follows you around, you literally have to do ZERO interaction with it (That is if you just want it to be defensive). To make it attack stuff, all you have to do is click a statue in your backpack.

If you dont want the pet to tank for you, YOU can still tank for it. You be the tank, and pet will attack automatically and be your DPS.

 

[Ludes]

Actually I been on the Test Shard all morning..

I'm not seeing anything wrong with it.. read my post more carefully.

To reiterate.. I don't like using pets.. I like to attack things with my sword.

It's kinda fun but I wish it wasn't Despise.

Are you still confused?

The only thing you cant attack yourself is the final boss....

 

[Ludes]

Are you on now? Lemme make a brand new guy and come hit it wit ya?

My normal TC guy sucks what should I try?

You got ICQ?
I have a Vent channel you can jump into if your serious...
ICQ 110373412

 

[Promathia]

My normal TC guy sucks what should I try?

I am not, but anything you make pretty much works in Despise. You can kill everything yourself (And since your pet attacks with you, it will level up as you kill stuff). When you feel your pet is high enough, just choose to conscript it (single click the statue). Fight your way to the island (where OL's used to spawn). The boss has a wisp with him (You can kill the wisp), but he WILL resummon it after awhile. You can either try to lure him away from it, or you can tank the wisp while your pet attacks the boss (Again, the boss being the only thing you cant damage). On the flipside, you CAN attack the boss, but you wont do any damage. So if you want, you can tank the boss yourself, while your pet does the DPS to it (Most likely you wont be able to kill the boss in time solo).

Any playstyle works:
Want to be a tank? Tank the boss while everyones pet does DPS. (Tank the wisp when needed)
Want to be a mage/healer? Sit back and heal the pets
Want to just DPS? Just sit there and let your pet attack (kill the wisp when needed)


Everyone is literally on an even playingfield when it comes to the final boss and getting the new arties.

 

[Ludes]

When can you log on and show me?

It's all so new to me..
But I can be on anytime you want I'm retired and I'll set my alarm clock to match yours....

 

[MalagAste]

None of you have ever farmed Lizardmen in Illsh have you?????

First off the way to the Lizardmen is LONG... also unlike despise you can't recall into it... you have to go there from the gate.

Then once you GET there yes there are always paragons to deal with... and then the spawn rate and level of spawn there is TOOOOOO LOW..... Once you kill all the lizardmen there it takes FOREVER for more to repawn..... One at a time.... you can run around and around and around the village waiting and waiting and waiting for something to respawn BORING. Whereas in Despise you could endlessly go round and round and round in a circle killing and killing and killing NON stop..... far better to train that standing about waiting...

There is NO comparison so YES I'm ticked off....

Yes there is the desert in Tokuno where you can kill stupid beetles that have ZERO gold... that's great for a newb with no money. NOT..... they can kill the orcs there ..... again the spawn rate is too slow. You kill the orcs and once again your left standing about picking your nose waiting for them to respawn one by one... NOT good for training... when training you need to be constantly hitting and hitting and hitting to work the skill not standing around.

So once again I'm angry and upset because they took a dungeon that actually DID see loads of use and ruined into something I'll likely never use. Because I don't care to waste hours and hours and hours doing that to not get any drop at all over and over and over again... I know how Cove works, I know how Doom works ..... and I don't ever get squat from either of those places. After watching others get stuff over and over and over and never getting anything myself I get a bit fed up with BS like that and I lose all desire to even try. So if I'm upset its because they have taken away something good and replaced it with another steaming pile that is going to only serve to irritate me and remind me again what a waste of time things like that are because "I" never get jack squat from stuff like that. I'm happy for all you who have no problem with the RNG but the RNG does NOT like me... EVER. Tired of walking away empty handed.

 

[Ludes]

Doesn't matter where else you can hunt the same spawn...
Totally beside the point.


Besides I agreed with you several posts back about the Paragon thing...

 

[puni666]

And you still can


** and I know Puni doesnt train on Lizardmen...

Actually I do :/, but for poisoning. It goes faster if you can mana leech off of your target imo... I would assume ninjitsu or anything that requires mana would go faster that way.

 

[Ludes]

Anyone else on that wants to start a raw char and hit Despise again on TC? Wouldn't want anyone to say I didn't try it. I'm gonna try a mage next....

 

[O'Brien]

So changing the dungeons and updating them to more of todays standard was much needed. They have to compete with todays MMO's and something had to spice it up.

Are we playing the same revamps? Just wondering...

 

[Xalan Dementia]

So how do you get the arties? Can you get it just by killing stuff and hoping for the rng or do you have to do the wisp war quest?

you have to use a pet and have it fight the boss in the last area. artie drops are pretty solid so far, at least one per fight for someone in the groups ive been with.
the last boss can only be damaged by a possessed pet from Despise so you gotta level one up high enough and probably get a friend or two with despise pets

paragon Lizardmen...oh dear...

First off, I mentioned that in regards to comments of "Where am I going to farm leather now". Im sure a newbie would be fine there too...

And secondly, too far? A newbie wont have runes...the run to the village is shorter than despise is lol And if they DO have runes marked, well they can go to the orc caves instead, you can mark runes there!

 

[Promathia]

Anyone else on that wants to start a raw char and hit Despise again on TC? Wouldn't want anyone to say I didn't try it. I'm gonna try a mage next....

I really hope this isnt an attempt to say "A brand new character cant do despise". A REAL brand new character is going to do New Haven first, among other things. You cant just make a character, run to despise and be able to survive (nor should you be able to).

In WoW, you cant just make a character and go to the first instance, you have to atleast be level 10/11. I know the games are vastly different, but its the same principle. In UO you do New Haven, you do your skill quests, you skill up on the undead and youll most likely about around 50 in your skills. You will also ideally get some armor upgrades (Rewards from the quests/loot).

Let us all also remember, a NEW PLAYER, WILL be "young". Just sayn...

 

[Ludes]

Ummm... on TC thats kinda a given..

I said the spawn rate there was TOOOOO SLOW..... but whatever.... You don't read anything thru anyway.

I believe that "young" characters get a warning gump when they try to enter a dungeon which tells them that they can be attacked by the monsters in the dungeon, so presumably "young" characters running around in the updated Despise are subject to attack just like every other character in there. I haven't had a young character in quite a while, so I have no way to test it. However, I remember this coming up in 2008 when one of the publishes (Publish 56) added the warning gump for young characters when entering dungeons in Ilshenar.

 

[Zosimus]

Are we playing the same revamps? Just wondering...

Yup!

The issues of dungeons have been brought up many times before even before the change. There were posts about it for years.

"Do something with the current lands or dungeons."

" Bring life back into these dead places."

Posts like those and many others has influenced chages and when they do change them then some players do not like them. It's impossible to make eveybody happy but life works that way.

 

[G.v.P]

I'm going to have to read through all the responses. While I like the small wisp shop, the cost of the items is def too high at current. It becomes mindless once you get a LVL 10 pet, that's for sure, but still, grinding 1,000-2,000 kills just for one item is pretty stupid.

I guess the only balance would be if killing the boss provides a lot more than 1 crystal point.

 

[Xalan Dementia]

you can farm the evil side spawn in the lvl 3 boss level for more dungeon points per kill, i was gettin like 22 per kill of a lvl 9 or so side spawn creature

 

[McDuck]

Anybody have previews yet?

 

[Frarc]

Anybody have previews yet?

Like this? Despise Re-vamp and Steward

 

[blinkdog]

Yeah the 1:25,000 drop rate was awesome fun....

Look at the bigger issue with the tents.

* UO has gypsies in the wilderness for 14 years or whatever.

* Some genius dev goes "Hey let's bring back gypsy tents for no reason!"

* Gypsy tents delete crap out of towers when they spawn and are a big disaster.

* This disaster goes unaddressed for months.

* When they do address it, they do so by deleting gypsy spawns completely.

Congrats on making the game just that tiny little bit worse, devs. Why wouldn't you just get rid of the tents and return to the status quo???

 

[Reth]

Not sure if this has been answered or not, but is the revamped dungeon coming to Siege or?

 

[Lady Storm]

Promathia I had a stroke, now for those of you who dont understand what that entails let me clue you in.
Sometimes I loose control of the hand on that side of my body the stroke hit. It puts a strain on the other side that trys to make up for the lack of use.
Eyesight has changed and at times if I concentrate soo hard it can go totaly out of focus. (I had a brain stem blowout) So it Effects the eyes alot. I loose feeling or hands fall asleep for no reason at the drop of a hat! Sitting too long is at times painfull. I can play but not as I use to. To top it all off it is very veyr hard to find friends to play with at my times that I can play due to the above. So I play alone and at weird times. I am not alone in this... I know quite a few who have the very same troubles I do. Some have heart conditions that limit their play to minutes not hours, where they need a nap to catch up their body from all the strain. An old friend of mine i use to hunt with passed away a few years ago and loved UO had such a condition. Many more I know have various levels like my friend. I am 55 years old and started playing UO just before i turned 40. I know you think its soo easy, but that is easy for you not all. Remember one day you will find that thing that once was so easy will be a mountain the next. There could have been changes that would have been fitting for all lvl's of players ..... I am not saying no change as I liked the changes... I just cant go too far on them.

 

[Petra Fyde]

Lady Storm I'm just going to address a couple of your points. Feathers. The dazzed harpies in Covetous level one are absolutely fabulous for them There are far more of them than ever spawned in there before and they're not aggressive till attacked, so no young character is going to get overwhelmed with trying to fight too many at once. If you like playing with dread spiders the pair in the Solen nest are ideal. They're near the Trinsic entrance of the nest.

I'm finding the new Despise quite interesting, though I haven't fully got the hang of controlling the creature through toggling the options. Sometimes I have to abandon the creature and recall out because something comes up, but I've still got the putrid hearts adding up which will eventually let me buy something from the wisp outside.

 

[Promathia]

There could have been changes that would have been fitting for all lvl's of players

Listen, im sorry about what happened, but I have to address some of your points:

1. Despise is DESIGNED around being fair to anyone no matter what template. The main thing people will be going for is the arties off the boss. All you have to do is have your pet level up, and the pet hits it. A sampire or other templates get no advantage, everyone is on an even playing field.

2. Wrong - This dungeon was designed moreso with certain people in mind. It added stealables, and stuff for lockpickers to do in the maze. If you do not want assassin honed weapons, you do not want to do the maze. The second level (with more mobs, and the Ogre) is definately more powerful.

3. Shame - Levels 1-3 are pretty simple, but if you find the harder mobs more difficult then stay away from levels 4-5. You can still get good loot from level 3.

4. Cove - Alot of people seem to be doing the void pool, but if your shard is more dead than others, you should be able to do the beginning waves pretty easily. The level before Cora is more difficult, and Cora herself is definitely not soloable.

As ive pointed out, each revamped dungeon starts out easy (or atleast easier than other levels), but gets harder the deeper you get into dungeons (generally how "dungeons" work). Despise, is the only one that breaks the recent mold, and has to be one of the easiest dungeons in the game. The only thing you really want to look out for is your PETS health, and just make sure it doesnt die.

It takes me about 10 minutes to rank up my pet. Once you are ready, just conscript it and go to the boss. The boss itself may take another 10 or so minutes with the group. (And im not talking about a large group, we did it on TC with about 3-4, and again it doesnt require you to do much besides heal your pet when it gets damaged).

 

[Cyrah]

All this sounds real interesting and a place this pacifist might actually go (someday). "awesome fun" just cracked me up, ty!

But! What about the rare color vanilla plants? Will we be able to grow any from seeds gathered at Exodus? Or will the only way be from the Naturalist quest?
I'm on my llama knees now Dark Lady Mesanna... please tell us.

[Basara]

I don't understand why some people are obsessing about lizardmen.

There's MANY places to get spined leather quickly that aren't Despise.

Monsters Yielding Spined Hides

Alligator
Centaur* (Oaks & Serpentine passage)
Dire Wolf
Giant Ice Serpents
Giant Serpent
Giant Toad
Hellcat (small)
Imp
Lava Lizard
Lava Serpent
Lizardmen (plenty of Lizardmen in swamps and champs on 4 different facets)
Lowlands Boura (SA)
Predator Hellcat
Ratmen (all)
Ridgeback
Ruddy Boura (SA)
Stone Slith (SA)

* The Centaurs of the Twaulo (Twisted Weald) Champion Spawn give REGULAR leather, not Spined. Twaulo himself does not give leather.

And, trying to claim that paragon lizardmen (or ratmen) would be too much for a new character is being deliberately obtuse. Characters that trained up in New Haven would be more than capable of handling them.

And as I also noted before, the earth elementals that were the Shame excuse for this same hypocrisy are found in the same Ilshenar area as normal ratmen, inside the cave behind the more dangerous ratman ruins at Sacrifice - and a mounted or flying character would have no issues getting through there to those caves. All they'd have to do is not go into the wyvern level, and not go into that one tiny area in the NE part where one would run into the sole rat mage in the cave.

I NEVER trained in Shame. I NEVER trained in Despise. That one Ilshenar mini-dungeon is where all my characters trained, and I never had an issue, even with characters that I trained after Paragons were introduced, as equipment had improved (and has continued to improve) more than the buff to the Paragons.

 

[Lady Storm]

Mesanna said you can get the different colored vanilla seeds from the solen quest. So I think you will need a good handfull of thorns and a tiny bit of luck.
I am not Complaining Petra. Just explaining how difficult it is at times to do what should be relitively easy tasks in UO. I do enjoy the dazed harpies... the silly birds do give nice feathers and I did send a deciently set up newbie there other day and watched over him till he got the hang of things. (I must admit I got a good giggle from the silly mongbat, all I could think of was that silly cartoon of a vampire bat who had trouble sucking blood from his intended target the pink panther)
Promathia, you do point out the best parts of the changes. Yes most of the shards I play on are that (I am looking for the right word.... I cant say dead because they are not dead just players are working on their own things and not chatty or too busy doing what they do to be registered as there. It would surprise you how many are on Origin or Napa, or any of what looks like a "dead" shard. ) underpopulated? I have Sneekies.... Love to pitter patter around the dungeons. Your points are well made they do have some redeaming qualitys I am just too cautious at the changes I guess. But I do think Destard only needs the spawning of the Greater dragons to be a bit more away from the entry.... and perhaps cut back in number.... went in on my tamer and had 6 of them sitting at the entry! Let's just say good thing I had on my flame retardant undies....... and a vanishing spell on the ready. I use to love going in there and hunting the dragons and wyverns for leather and my bard doing the Shadow wyrms on lvl 2.....
Change is good and keeps the mind working I know..... just I am not after arties.... I just want ot have fun. (oh if you see in my typing letters out of place my neurologist said its the stroke on how my brain sends signals some dont move as fast as the fingers want and vice versa)

 

[Sevin0oo0]

Alignment of areas, wonder if they'll extend that to a property on weapons? could be the new super slayer

 

[Cyrah]

Thank you Lady Storm. Getting a rare vanilla hue seed off the quest is fine. But...

I just so wanted to plant my own seeds, tend them and wake up some morning to see a wonderful new color among the many plains.To try for the white and black vanilla plant mutants from the new color as I do with the old seeds.

Is this too much to ask for? I like to garden most of all.

But I do think Destard only needs the spawning of the Greater dragons to be a bit more away from the entry.... and perhaps cut back in number.... went in on my tamer and had 6 of them sitting at the entry! Let's just say good thing I had on my flame retardant undies....... and a vanishing spell on the ready.

If you want a safer entry into Destard, mark a rune in the lower corner of the room to the far East of the entrance. I have only seen a dragon in there a couple times. They are always at the entrance, because that is where we all run to save ourselves.

n still get good loot from level 3.
4. Cove - Alot of people seem to be doing the void pool, but if your shard is more dead than others, you should be able to do the beginning waves pretty easily. The level before Cora is more difficult, and Cora herself is definitely not soloable.

Depends on your definition of solo. Single player running two account is totally doable and not too bad at all.
