[UO.Com] Publish 90 to Origin & Izumo

[UO News]

We are excited for the Origin & Izumo release of the Time of Legends! You will need to patch your client to the latest version to log in to the game. We’ll also be updating TC1 to the latest version. If you have any feedback please send it to [email protected]. We will be pushing this afternoon so expect Origin, Izumo, and TC1 to go down for a short period. Please keep in mind that until Publish 90 is deployed world wide character transfers on Origin and Izumo are limited to only those two shards. Character transfers between all other shards will function as expected. […]

The Animal Taming mastery title has been changed to “The Beastmaster.”

THANK YOU! I did not want to be Maharia the Beast :'/ lol

Added a copy of the Dragon Turtle Champ spawn to Felucca. The Champ Spawn can be accessed via the Ancient Wyrm’s nest in Destard. The Time of Legends entitlement is required to access the Champ Spawn.

Again, thank you....glad you added this to Fel

Can't wait to start testing

 

[Vor]

Oh what. I was so looking forward to "Lowell the Beast" title

 

[Larisa]

Hawkwind is not talking :/ Is he broken?

 

[Larisa]

Okay he talks to everyone but me...and some people are not able to get into the valley.

 

[Lord Arm]

cant get in, looks like 6 month payments accounts screwed lol

 

[Lord Taliesin]

@Kyronix , ya'll mentioned at a meet and greet that Fey Slayer was slated to be imbuable in Pub 90, has this been bumped since Pub 90 became the expansion? (not that there isn't enough other awesome new stuff to play with!)

 

[Sinder Shayde]

@Kyronix Would it be possible to get a healer/ankh or something a safe distance away from the dragon turtle champ area?
Oh and will the Dragon turtle have better loot? As it is now, although shared, you get a few gold and 1 piece of armor

 

[Dot_Warner]

@Kyronix

Could you add masonry tools to more NPCs? They are pretty much constantly sold out and are likely to remain so for the foreseeable future on all the shards with a decent population. (let's not have a repeat of the saltpeter fiasco!)

Better yet, make them craftable!

And I'd like to know where Fey slayer is on the Imbuing menu

 

[Tina Small]

@Kyronix: "Players who are not involved in Vice vs. Virtue will not receive champ spawns in Felucca as an objective in the Mastery Quest." Is this true for individual guilded characters that have not elected to join VvV, even if someone else in the same guild with that character belong to VvV?

 

[Ender]

Fey Slayer should be such a piece of cake to add to the menu, why isn't it there already?

 

[Uvtha]

Make the wrestling mastery better dammit!

 

[Lythos-]

Make wrestling better dammit!

Fixed that for ya.

 

[PlayerSkillFTW]

Fey Slayer should be such a piece of cake to add to the menu, why isn't it there already?

Adding Fey Slayer to the imbuing menu, would cheapen the value of Artifacts like the Defiler of Virtue, Ironwood Composite Bow, Wind of Corruption, and the Pixie Swatter. Those artifacts would cease to be used if Fey Slayer was imbuable.

 

[Goodmann]

Dragon Turtle Loot= Broke, We did one and everyone got 1 piece of armor and roughly 180 gold on corpse

 

[Sinder Shayde]

Ya, I mentioned that in an earlier post about the Dragon Turtle loot ..or lack of loot that is

 

[Ender]

They're also all kind of terrible, anyway.

 

[Goodmann]

Loot from another Dragon Turtle Champ Spawn (this is once it went public, solo it had 1 item and gold)

 

[PlayerSkillFTW]

They're also all kind of terrible, anyway.

The Defiler of Virtue is actually pretty useful, especially on a Whammy/Sampire. Corpse Skin the victim, and spam Double Strikes or AIs, drops Lord Oaks like a rock. Good for farming Cu Sidhe colors too. Between Pixie Swatter for first and second level of Oaks spawn, and Defiler of Virtue for third and fourth level of spawn, as well as Oaks and Silvani, those two weapons are actually fairly useful.

A new Time of Legends splash screen has been added.

The Time of Legends splash screen is a bit too "cartoony"... it doesn't impact gameplay but it's the first thing that new and returning players will see.

But he gets it done quickly you aren't supposed to care about the quality.... it's the quantity.

 

[fajico]

Fey Slayer..., yes just add it to Imbuing, doesn't hurt anyone in any way when we already have almost full lineup of slayers in imbuing (and those special slayers found on talismans. Bear/Flame/Ice, etc.).

You know what... I asked at a M&G a few months back that Velocity should be imbue-able on throwing weapons too because it can be imbued on bows. Mesanna said there's no reason not to do it, a positive answer, but it didn't happen yet.
I guess Imbuing menu might be a sensitive part of the code so they don't want to touch it but I don't know...

I made a post about the login screen but they soon buried it in Off topic rant section.........
How its 'off topic' at the moment I have no idea, but I get the feeling nothing will be done about it so they just want it to go away.

 

[Minerva Foxglove]

I could not get Hawkwind to give me a mastery quest until i cancelled the solen quest I was on , via my context menue.

[Dot_Warner]

Bowzer has really let himself go...

 

[Sir_Bolo]

I could not get Hawkwind to give me a mastery quest until i cancelled the solen quest I was on , via my context menue.

This is "expected", since Hawkwind's quest is using the old (pre-Mondain's Legacy) quest engine which allowed only one active quest at a time.
The real question is - why did they use the old engine instead of the new ML quest engine?

 

[R Traveler]

The QUESTION is - does quest reward applied to char who did quest or reward is item useable on other chars and allowed to trade?

For second there.. I thought it was 1993 all over again!

 

[Minerva Foxglove]

Agree with your post. Its just it happened to other ppl around me as well, and they were surprised so I checked if it was the issue and posted here .

 

[Minerva Foxglove]

Has anyone find out yet what drops the clothing recipies? It cant be the turtle drag spawn but I didnt get any from the tribal ppl eighter.. I just lost karma..were I just unlucky or are there some other place I didnt fins yet?

We've all been wondering that... and why don't they go back and fix all quests so that they are all using the same system instead of having 3 different questing systems. Which IMO is confusing as all get out for many new and returning players.

The Herald reads :
New Crafting Recipes

• This feature requires the Time of Legends expansion entitlement. This entitlement will be applied for free to all accounts active during August, September, or October 2015.
• New crafting recipes are available that will allow tailors to craft the following. These recipes drop as loot from creatures in the Valley of Eodon and are placed in the player’s backpack. Luck increases the chance at receiving a recipe.

I killed creatures and tribesmen well over an hour and did not receive any recipes in my pack.
Come to think of it, I also did not see any of the new Aloron’s Armor in any of the loot...

 

[Uvtha]

, I also did not see any of the new Aloron’s Armor in any of the loot...

Well thats an armor set, so probably compare the rarity to the other sets. In other words, crazy rare.

 

[Goodmann]

I just noticed my new splash screen, I like it

 

[Lord Arm]

got the aloron legs while doing turtle champ, no recipes yet. better to be rare than give out like candy and make worthless in a month or so.

 

[Larisa]

Just a side note, for those of you visiting Origin to test the content and are in need of a rune library, there is one amazing one here, thanks to AV



And gratz Lord Arm, I have yet to do that spawn, was there though to see it die...I giggled a little bit...looks funny when it dies.

Anyone get a dragon turtle egg yet? I am really wanting one of those!

i have recieved 2 eggs so far. drop rate not to rare. personally i think it needs to be turned down more

 

[fajico]

New recipes should be a rare reward of a new quest that crafters can do. They shouldn't be a rare drop from mobs in Eodon (crafters can't fight dinosaur.)

 

[Lythos-]

I know I'm awful for not testing but are there any new housing? Is there a loyalty requirement like TerMur?

 

[Goodmann]

a couple new housing tile sets/wall sets but no new housing area

 

[Mervyn]

With this new splash screen i can't help but call this UO land before time

 

[Mervyn]

When can we enter?

 

[Flagg]

Is this how one announces release of new expanion?oO I'd expect some more hype..
I'm not expecting or hoping for some major full page adds in NY Times, Origin front page, major gaming site banners..
But it'd at least be nice to see mention of this on game's launcher? More bells and whistles on UO.com?? Anything? Anywhere?

Who the heck releases new expansion on live shards and and just settles on calling it " publish 90" :O
Call it MOST AWESOME THING UO HAS SEEN IN 8 YEARS instead. (no matter how true or untrue.)


ps I still have no clue if I should see something new or different on Europa or not.

Besides new expansion not being really visible there, I gotta say the new Uo.com looks really awesome. Pure class.

No. Dragon Turtle Hatchlings are meant to be an event-friendly alternative to Greater Dragons (no huge bodies and wings blocking view). They have the exact same Stat/Resist/Skill range as a Greater Dragon, meaning a wildly differing range. Due to the method of acquiring Dragon Turtle Hatchlings, getting a good "rating" one is already much harder than getting a good rating GD. If you make them any harder to get, noone will use them, people will instead just farm out a 4.3+ rating GD to tame.

If anything, make them hatch with higher than average stats to curb player disappointment. i.e. Keep the same caps on them, but drastically increase the likelihood of them starting with what most plats deem "useable" stats.

Remember how annoying it was/is to break a vollem out of the crystal only to find it is pathetic.

Haha, I hope that was irony. It's a **** embarrassment

 

[BeaIank]

I just saw the splash screen and immediately felt like I was back to the old days of 320x200 256 colours VGA graphics.
It can't get more 90s than that.

 

[Dot_Warner]

Sooo.. has anyone found a clothing/armor recipe scroll yet?
