Grrr...same goes for the lobster dinner. You cannot "use" it (i.e., see the message it gives) while it is locked down.
Can you redeed it (then replace it after you finish customizing) and relink it that way?Another problem: Customizing your house seems to break the lighthouse. After leaving customization, the lighthouse seems to forget that it has been linked to a specific account and clicking on it just gives you the message, "Your account is not linked to this lighthouse."
Yes, if you redeed it, customize, and then place the lighthouse again, you can click on it to make it find your account's ships again. But the next time you customize the house, the link seems to be lost.Can you redeed it (then replace it after you finish customizing) and relink it that way?
Don't really care about debating, but I oppose this strongly enough I will put my money where my mouth is. If this goes live, I will be shutting off all of my accounts. I choose to play mostly on a smaller shard rather than Atlantic, and I have seen its hard enough getting a full Council. Now you are going to place even more limits on them getting people into those seats, BRILLIANT!City Election Changes
- Each account may now only vote once per shard.
- In order to cast a vote a character must be at least respected within a city.
I agree, we have to pay monthly but yet still have to pay for items for the game, i don't get that, other games are free and have to pay for items, that's understandable but why do UO have to be both? they need to sort something out, but i guess they wont while people still payingHopefully it's just not listed *Dreams* and it's a rechargeable: Forged Metal of Artifacts, even if it makes items enhanced with it become account bound!
Monthly Sub- should be enough not to have pay-to-win be a part of UO.
i think them Rez Ankhs should be useable! some people dont res and dont have time to res when killing and they are small areas to be trying to kill and res, so maybe they should be useable....more testing on dungeon, cant teleport around ,intended? bagballs a no go for this now that its in a dungeon? either way im cool with it. sampire capt. isnt all that bad, he likes to spam spirit speak. some parts of deungeon have rez ankhs,but they dont work or is it just deco?
It's buggy or either someone is on some good stuff @developers cubicles, go to test and try it before they make it "live" on all servers.wonders about the new dungeon hardness... i just hope its levelled out in good stages/levels to suit everyone from a noob player to the great all powerfull Mr banksitter
Nice, thanks for the confirmation.Just got one from a Brigand took a ton though, but they are easy

I know it's not what you want to hear, but that's an option in the EC, certainly with the pinco mod. You can also flip any container to List mode so it shows the name of all that's in there. But for classic... well, I hope you get what you want there eventually.I requested if it was at all possible to lighten up the inner bag like was illustrated in a pic sent him from "other UO'ish shards" The inner bag was so nice and bright you could see the tiny specks of black rock with out using a 20x magnifier!
Why were they right?Yes...you're voting for a "character" which in reality is a person though and then you and they, and everyone else that supports them can bring all your RP characters, non RP mules and alts, and other such characters and skew the results. It's not the best solution but the devs we're right in putting this restriction in.
see, if we had a dislike button......Put me on the dislikes snow list.
Reminds me of the scene in "Charade" where Cary Grant takes a shower in his suit. "Drip dry!"Good Lord this made me LOL. Hat and cloak and all eh?
well that what test is for i guess.???...this dungeon needs to be accessable and useable .....to the new player levelling up at level one and the billy no mates, bling bling, rich kid bank sitter at level five
here we go again............jesus.......give it a rest.....u trying get another thread locked i see......[whatever]No this dungeon does not need to be accessible to the new player, this dungeon drops the best loot in the game, there for its for the more advanced player.
Some kind of fix in this area was needed, and needed fast.Game

City Election Changes

I don't take much interest in elections other than using the trade deal on characters when it suits. However I think this is a ham-fisted solution to a problem and is right up there with Adrick's wild "One Red All Red" solution for pks.Some kind of fix in this area was needed, and needed fast.
I know it might only have been visible to those heavily involved in the city election system, such as candidates and their inner circles of supporters, but as it was this system was ticking time bomb for widespread player discontent. Even at the last election we all saw how this system was being abused, and how it caused a lot of negativity in the community. It took a full month for the drama to settle down, and there were a lot of unhappy campers.
Players who get involved with a city, work hard for their city. They take pride in what they create and become attached to it. If you are involved in a city you know what I mean.
However the old system made it so the largest group on the shard could take the governor seats in any six cities they chose, and it would have been impossible to stop this once they had decided to do it. Even if you had a hundred players working hard for your town, but the top group on the shard had more, if they wanted to add your governor seat to their collection, they could. They could keep their own city with no risk, take your city, and four others just like it.
Now think about the city after the election is done. Its true citizenry is absolutely livid with what has happened, and it is represented by a puppet governor whose own town hates him, and who sits on a farce of council with the King.
I can understand the complaints about not being able to RP voting across all characters, and it does lessen immersion. But they had to do something, and this was the best anyone could come up with. Heck, it was the best I could come up with, and I spent some time thinking on the problem after the last election too.
The only thing I would have done different in the above changes, would have been to make it follow the housing rules and have it one vote across all shards. The current changes will fix big shards, but small shards elections are going to remain as skewed as ever.
No this dungeon does not need to be accessible to the new player, this dungeon drops the best loot in the game, there for its for the more advanced player.
I'd rather have the water color changeable. Blood for the vampire types... Muddy for the Orcs and Goblins... or maybe a slimey-green.I'm glad the mat is dyeable... but it looks horrible with spots. I'm sorry Devs, I know you tried. I think it would look better as a solid. It looks silly with the elegant look of the bath. I appreciate the extra effort, but there is no way I'd dye the mat with the spots. I know they are gifts and I appreciate we get them... but I also feel I have to voice my discontent.
I still would like the metal tub to be dyeable or least a couple other color choices... a pewter/silver and a bronze? What about doing it in ore colors? Then at least folks could have a few different color choices. I love the graphic... but not all of our peasants are going to be able to afford a gold plated tub.
I don't know about "Ham-Fisted", but I do note that yourself, and in fact others on this thread complaining of this change, have posted no suggestion in place of the current one.I don't take much interest in elections other than using the trade deal on characters when it suits.

Yes, normal dungeon rules apply.I have not been on TC yet, but can mages cast summons in the new dungeon? Mages were of little use without a tank in the cities. My hope is that there are no guards so EV and RC can be used.

Now, that I would like to read. It needs a solution, not complaining about what is already known.
No self respecting vampire would bath in blood unless they are insane. That would be wasteful and disgusting. Blood is life. That would be like humans bathing in mashed potatoes or in creamed corn. Evil can be beautiful... and have good hygiene... it doesn't always look like it lives in a pig sty.I'd rather have the water color changeable. Blood for the vampire types...

Who said anything about a blood-bath? I was thinking more of a feast with friends. After all - there are plenty of pools in the blood Dungeon as well.No self respecting vampire would bath in blood unless they are insane. That would be wasteful and disgusting. Blood is life. That would be like humans bathing in mashed potatoes or in creamed corn. Evil can be beautiful... and have good hygiene... it doesn't always look like it lives in a pig sty.
While I'm at it... any vampire that leaves corpses around their house is also gross. Seriously? They should be on the BNN for their hoarding conditions if they do. Do you guys leave your leftovers on the floor? No... you dispose of it or feed it to your pigs.
*shakes head with a slight huff* Such uncivilized manners has no place in this world, kindred or kine. Any who act as such should be culled from the population and put down as you would a lame horse. *lifts chin slightly* Such misconceptions are ill-suited to your intellect, I would suggest you purge them.

this is a really bad idea. if its meant to be so hard that you need bagballs (the current invasion you DO NOT NEED bagballs) then it would be a better idea to set up an npc that sells "rocks" or something in unlimited quanities. that way it would be an actual, apparent aspect of intended tactics for this dungeon.Can a Dev verify that the bagball blocking in the new dungeon is going to be allowed still like in invasion towns?
f**k a bunch a dragon tamers. All they do is clutter up everything. We dont need no stinking tamers we have bag balls. HAthis is a really bad idea. if its meant to be so hard that you need bagballs (the current invasion you DO NOT NEED bagballs) then it would be a better idea to set up an npc that sells "rocks" or something in unlimited quanities. that way it would be an actual, apparent aspect of intended tactics for this dungeon.
If blocking is allowed, everyones just going to put a line across the entrance set up an archer and go afk or semi afk. might as well just add a permanant wall to the entrance with a door.
I believe that's already been covered. Mesanna said here : http://www.stratics.com/community/threads/clarification-from-a-dev.306718/#post-2324160Can a Dev verify that the bagball blocking in the new dungeon is going to be allowed still like in invasion towns?
Ok so let's settle this discussion for good. Due to the fact this invasion is in towns such as Magincia and various other towns, the mobs might be a little tougher but the players were given the leeway of being creative to fight them in various ways.
PS Do not call a GM if you see a player using Bagballs on mobs in this invasion in towns. In dungeons is another story *winks*
That tactic will no longer work. The captains will actively destroy anything that blocks their path and the normal rules applied to blocking a mob's path are as you would except them sans the invasion (to say, it is not allowed). The reason we lightened up for the invasion was two fold. For one thing, we didn't want to risk the destruction ability in an area where there is housing (New Magincia) and also we wanted to give the ability build barricades and the like as a means of "defending the city".Can a Dev verify that the bagball blocking in the new dungeon is going to be allowed still like in invasion towns?
I can't test it just now, but if you can stable it, you might be able to put it on a New Magincia pet vendor and 'trade' it that way....(2) If you try to make another golem on a character that already has one in the stable, you get the message, "You cannot build another golem at this time because you have one in the stables." Again, needs further testing to confirm if this is a character limit or an account limit. I have not yet tried
Maybe they should make it so the captain doesn't spawn with the initial mobs. When they are all defeated the captain spawns red. Forget the invulnerable yellow period.Ok. so bagballs are not allowed. (good)
with the cramped area, i dont see any other way to be able to kill the captains without carefully luring them out of the mess of spawn and other captains by invoking honor virtue.
killing a captain 1vrs1 is very doable. however even 2 in pretty much insta death. i would suggest reducing the number of captains in an area at least slightly if people are actually going to go there.
On the other hand bathing in milk (life giving liquid for mammals) is actually a thing and humans bathing in milk is no different than vampires bathing in blood.No self respecting vampire would bath in blood unless they are insane. That would be wasteful and disgusting. Blood is life. That would be like humans bathing in mashed potatoes or in creamed corn. Evil can be beautiful... and have good hygiene... it doesn't always look like it lives in a pig sty.
