How do we see the new artefacts? Doesn't seem to be a globe to get them?

 

[Ender]

Clothing artifacts? Neat.

How do we see the new artefacts? Doesn't seem to be a globe to get them?

But if we can't see them without getting them to drop, booo. I kinda want to wait until the publish is live until I do any of the new stuff.

 

[Kyronix]

TC1 hasn't gone down yet for publish, when it comes back you'll be able to use the "Give Arties" command to get a bag of them.

 

[Vor]

Thanks pal!

 

[Podolak]

@Kyronix

Thank you for making it so shadow doesn't reveal you. With 40 LMC it is 8 mana per tick. However if you have 12o weapon skill it is 5 mana per tick. Is weapon skill also supposed to affect this? It isn't a matter of the 300 weapon skill points mana reduction bonus either because 120 Ninja, 120 Stealth and 60 weapon skill = 300 points and it is still 8 mana per tick. However, change weapon skill from 60 to 120 and its 5 mana per tick.

• “House Only” doors can only be placed in non-customizable housing.

@Kyronix This seems an artificial limitation; is there some reason we can use these doors in keeps and castles and such, but not in an 18x18?

• “House Only” doors can only be placed in non-customizable housing.

@Kyronix This seems an artificial limitation; is there some reason we can use these doors in keeps and castles and such, but not in an 18x18?

Yes. If you place a house only door on the edge of the house and open it, it opens out into the world and is no longer on a valid foundation, which means that it is no longer locked down. This issue doesn't occur in pre-fab housing because there are walls on all sides. Since you can place doors through the house customization many anyway, we removed house only doors from being able to be placed in customized housing.

Since you can place doors through the house customization many anyway, we removed house only doors from being able to be placed in customized housing.

The problem is, between gozas and other things that re-deed when you go into customize mode, when I build houses, I generally set the design, then forever forbid myself to go back into customize mode. It'd be entirely awesome if there were some way to customize and set deeded items to NOT redeed. Lol, but lacking that, rather than outright banning doors in customize-type houses, could not the logic of multi-item deeded items (tree stump, ore cart, etc) be used instead for crafted doors, to allow them to be used, but not on that outer ring of a house where they would cause the issue you describe?

 

[Victim of Siege]

@Kyronix I am curious as to why the new quests from the Time Lord are using the older quest system, The one that's on your context menu?

 

[Cetric]

wow some of these artys are OP as hell hahahahaha @Kyronix

a -0 1 handed mage weap with 25 ep?

a robe with 10lrc/10lmc/2mr/5sdi?

shoes with lrc/lmc?

shoes with 10hci or dci?

adding 5ssi to a conj trinket?


hoolllyyy shhiitttt....

 

[MalagAste]

@Kyronix So I guess we aren't getting the E/W and N/S both versions of the stone doors? Left right?

 

[Promathia]

hoolllyyy shhiitttt....

I'm going to have to actually play the game now aren't I?

 

[Dot_Warner]

@Kyronix I am curious as to why the new quests from the Time Lord are using the older quest system, The one that's on your context menu?

 

[MalagAste]

Liking the robe and the Talismans...

However @Cetric did you notice that some of those shoes are Minus HCI or DCI??? IMO that is not OP that is..... just negative 100%.

Nice spellbooks too.

 

[Gamer_Goblin]

If you say the game is going to release in September and you're just pushing it to the early release shards on September 29th, to me that's bad. Other than that, really enjoying everything so far.

I just think the communication should have said October. Speaking about the email we were all sent that said the release would be in September.

 

[Cetric]

Yea I did see, like +10 hci -5dci. When our best shoes currently are things like 4 stats, 2 eater, 2 resist... And they make some that are LRC/lmc or capable of adding 10 hci that is sort of crazy. Adding 5ssi to a talisman that is already one of the nicest is also crazy. But that robe and the mage wrap are probably the craziest.

 

[Kyronix]

@Kyronix So I guess we aren't getting the E/W and N/S both versions of the stone doors? Left right?

Currently dealing with a door issue (you'll notice there aren't any doors in the Armory of Shadowguard). It'll be resolved before Origin/Izumo.

 

[Catskills Al]

So if artifacts are so so, people complain that the artifacts suck and the devs shouldn't waste pixels creating such crappy artifacts...if artifacts are actually good and useful, people complain that it's OP. Seriously...people can't be happy no matter what.

Being released on Origin/Izumo on the 29th that's september still

 

[BeaIank]

I wonder if those spellbooks are random slayer ones.
On the bag I got, one was a daemon slayer and the other dinosaur slayer.

And that is one pretty nice obi. 10 str, 10 stam inc. Wow.

 

[Tjalle]

Thanks for part 4, devs.

Should cap durability at 150 on all new artifacts and make them non-PoFable so there will be a more lasting need to go farm the stuff.
In fact, this should be the case for every artifact except for "limited time" ones.

 

[Rimeny]

I wonder if those spellbooks are random slayer ones.
On the bag I got, one was a daemon slayer and the other dinosaur slayer.

Yup I got repond and dinosaur

 

[BeaIank]

Yup I got respond and dinosaur

Sweet. So it is seems Anon book is dinosaur and the other is random super slayer. Sweet!
Precisely what we needed.

And I agree with giving those artifacts durability.
Gives people a reason to keep returning to do this part of the new content.

 

[Cetric]

Lol, rather than find a common ground d they either make them junk or make them op. There's a simple way to tone down some of them without making them worthless. Like the talisman, as a trade off for having 5ssi it should have like 10 di or no regen. Putting LRC or lmc with Mr on a robe isn't a a bad idea, but that much with SDI? That robe becomes hands down the best robe out there rather than an option instead of conj garb or SDI/DCI/hci, etc.

New artifacts should have a use, but not be so good that you supplant anything you had before to use them.

Don't get me started on the mage weapon or the 10lrc 10lmc shoes...

[Ender]

Talisman is a random slayer too, mine was demon.

 

[Promathia]

I eagerly await @Spock's Beard to review the new/changed artifacts

 

[Dot_Warner]

@Kyronix

Leg armors and boots are no longer visible through the evening gown while an avatar is running in the Classic & Enhanced Clients.

In the EC, the avatar's butt still randomly pops through the evening gown, and there are multiple odd white bits that appear around the legs when in motion (dye the dress black and you can't miss them)

Partial hueing on the kilts has been adjusted to better show the hue.

The gilded kilt still looks awful on the avatar in the EC, especially when in motion. The dyed bits overwhelm the gilded bits...the other kilts don't do this anymore. It also still looks weird in the CC.

Also this house tile:

Needs opposite facings for consistency's sake (Connected line going to the LEFT side). You can't possibly achieve an pleasingly symmetrical design without it!

 

[Dot_Warner]

@Kyronix

A mastery quest has been added to obtain the first level of all skill masteries, visit Hawkwind the Timelord near the Valley of Eodon Moongate to learn more.

While I appreciate the quest... I'd strongly suggest you pick a mob somewhere in a Trammel rule-set. Few people are going to want to deal with the headaches of Fel.

 

[Kyronix]

@Kyronix

erm...it is a Trammel rule set?

 

[Dot_Warner]

erm...it is a Trammel rule set?

Primeval Lich? No...

 

[Kyronix]

Primeval Lich? No...

Ah, you are talking about the actual quest objective. I thought you were talking about the NPC that kicks off the quest, which is in the Valley . It's randomly generated from a variety of encounters. I will pass along your feedback about Felucca.

 

[Dot_Warner]

Ah, you are talking about the actual quest objective. I thought you were talking about the NPC that kicks off the quest, which is in the Valley . It's randomly generated from a variety of encounters. I will pass along your feedback about Felucca.

Hmm.. I cancelled and reacquired the quest several times for different masteries... It was always the Primeval Lich that it asked me to kill.

 

[Spock's Beard]

@DJAd you are a god among mortals, thanks for posting all those artifact stats.

All I really have to say is that I'm really happy with the buffs to these items. A lot is going to depend on just how valuable these new slayer (and protection) properties are, but I'll trust that you guys have big things in store for them given how prominently they're featured.

I love love love all the new clothing artifacts. When it comes to statted clothing I feel like you either need to not do it at all, or go all out with it so that you don't end up with everyone in the game wearing the same two items. For basically ten years now UO has been in that zone of everyone wearing the same few things, but hopefully this will change that up.

Basically yeah I'm really happy and I can't say those guys don't ever listen. I'm still not sure exactly what niche that obsidian sword is supposed to fill, but I do kinda want one.

Also, random, what if there was a Tactics Mastery that caused you to leech stamina and mana but which did not stack with leeches on items? That might be harder to code than it sounds, but it would be basically the "learn to survive off me and you free up two item property slots on your weapon!" mastery and maybe make it so items can be a little more diverse without being underpowered.

Edit: Left out the word "at" in a sentence.

 

[arkiu]

Agreed. Really like the new artifacts. Not to be greedy, but I want more loot! Any chance the devs can revamp some of the older artifacts to make them similarly useful? Don't wanna get burned out in the new land.

 

[Uvtha]

GREAT artifact boosts. That shield went from being meh to top item for me. Psyched to see a must have item out there, and there are several!

Sad that wrestling is still worthless, though.

 

[Obsidian]

I love the new artifacts! Thank you for making a reason to adventure in Eodon.

 

[Spock's Beard]

Agreed. Really like the new artifacts. Not to be greedy, but I want more loot! Any chance the devs can revamp some of the older artifacts to make them similarly useful? Don't wanna get burned out in the new land.

Or even other stuff that doesn't revolve around stats. For real devs, next time we're griping about being bored, just like take the Charger of the Fallen, hue it in all the ore colors, and have them drop from like Doom Gauntlet, higher colors more rare with valorite being almost unheard of. That's like almost no dev work but it would be a blast. There would be people running around down there forever.

Make it an event, call it CHARGERS OF DOOM, buff some of the bosses, then just leave it permanent.

 

[Miri of Sonoma]

Spock's beard is finally happy!!

 

[Parnoc]

Well I will tell you, I am amazed that for the very small dev staff we have, that they have put such a project as this in our hands, or close to being there. Kudos to you guys!!! Kyronix, you are the greatest, you listen, you reply, you react and make it happen, sooooooo many things I saw complained about were changed, so many items made so much better! And I know it wasn't all just Kyronix, I salute you all! Oh and by the way, the night on test when our guild got to personally test the Shadowguard encounter was right up there with the most amazing things in UO I have done in my years, thank ye for that!

 

[Merlin]

The new artifacts are a somewhat-improvement, a move in the right direction...

But still a lot of slots still underserved. Should still be more belts, more earrings, more robes, etc..... still work to be done.

[Drowy]

Its a Cyclone with the name Halawa's Hunting Bow.

 

[Vor]

@Kryonix

How come the human/elf Wamap's Bone Earrings lack the resists of the garg version?

 

[Sir_Bolo]

@Kryonix

How come the human/elf Wamap's Bone Earrings lack the resists of the garg version?

I guess because Gargish Earrings have resists as basic item stats (they replace the gloves armor slot) while human earrings don't

 

[Uvtha]

Sleeves. So few sleeves.

 

[Vor]

Hmm. In which case.. it makes the garg ones even more terrible than the human ones

Still. I really like some of the new arties. Very interesting.

 

[MalagAste]

Currently dealing with a door issue (you'll notice there aren't any doors in the Armory of Shadowguard). It'll be resolved before Origin/Izumo.

Good to hear looking forward to it. Just didn't want it to be forgotten.

 

[Low]

Is there a way to macro injecting strike? So u don't need to open the book or click the icon each time? Didn't see it in the macro list in CC.
