So what is your least favorite task in game?

[Tyrath]

My personal least favorite is making fuse cords and all of the steps to actually get to making the fuse cords themselves.

Not looking for fixes or what would make it better just what is your least favorite thing to do, that you have to do in order to play the UO game you want Perhaps the Dev team will see this thread and without a lot of do this and do that will have a better feel of the pulse of what people don't enjoy doing but have to if they want to do the things they do enjoy. Given the huge diversity of what we do individually in game this could be a lengthy list or a lot of us might have the same pet peeves.

 

[Tina Small]

Sort jewelry.

 

[Aran]

Dealing with all the stupid people.

 

[MalagAste]

Packing up a house or two or three to close an account or two or three or more... It's like there is a death in the family and you have to sort through the stuff and sell the house... It looms over you like a giant dark cloud of gloom.

Getting killed by Irk in the twisted weald and having to walk all the way back to the moongate for a rez

 

[Kylie Kinslayer]

Waiting on the dang Blaze Cu to spawn while I am there...

 

[Victim of Siege]

Getting Mongbat blood off of my armor . . .

 

[temu]

Farming crystals to make gorgon lenses

 

[Lady Michelle]

having to look for things I need to decorate with

 

[Merus]

Looking through 7 houses and god knows how many bank boxes for that 1 item I know I have but can't remember where I put it.

This would be right up there in #2 or #3 for me. Closed 12 accounts a few months ago and it took forever to sort things out.

[Aran]

I have three houses on Chesapeake and three on Siege. One on each server is packed to the brim and the other two sit nearly empty.

I don't know why I keep them other than land hoarding. I have like 30 pieces of land in ArcheAge just for farming trees on. There's something wrong with me. That is not a lead in to comment further.

[Eärendil]

Waiting for years for one single artifact to drop and accepting that luck isn't on my side. Why do I have to kill hundreds of these goblins while my stupid neighbor gets a pair of Obsidian Earring in his first encounter?

Ah, and training certain skills. Imbuing for example.

And finding out, that certain deco ideas don't work because of bad programming...

But worse is seeing people stocking their vendors with tons of stuff they earned via scripting...

 

[BeaIank]

Getting the dreadhorn keys off the two spiders.
The drop rate of keys on those two are atrocious.

Also, the very weird artifact drop rate in this game. Ever since Eodon, I haven't seen Dreadhorn drop a single crimmy, and I kill him 5 times per week on average.

you sure you don't weigh the same as a Duck?

 

[BeaIank]

you sure you don't weigh the same as a Duck?

At least as of April, I didn't.
I swear those weird knights and villagers show up once a month, wanting to burn me, so I am weighed against one fairly often.
But since I have always weighed more than the duck they use, they assume I don't float, so I am not made of wood and thus I don't burn. Therefore, I am no witch.
I am just as ugly as one.

Dealing with all the stupid people.

Dealing with all the drama caused by seemingly intelligent adults that insist on acting like children!

 

[kelmo]

I won't.

Well that's ironic.

Totally agree, I live in fear of that email that comes and says your account has been suspended when actually all that was needed was an email saying you need to change the date on your credit card knowing you have to go thru the horrible task of logging in with crossed fingers and hoping you will do the right clicks in a total maze of gibberish.

 

[Tyrath]

Amazingly I have no problems at all with acct management........... Me either really smart or really lucky...... I am betting on Lucky

I know kryonix has said they did not nerf drop rates but the rate at which I get drops contradicts that I loved training imbue on Siege just unravel a major every 15 minutes to 120 I HATE SCRIPTERS!

 

[FrejaSP]

The thing I hate most is Imbuing suits to all 70 resist. All want all 70, so why not just increase the basis resist with +15% for both crafted and new loot items, at least on Siege. It may not be a problem on normal shards where you rarely lose stuff.

Just this little changes would help me stock my vendor with PvP and PvM suits and to a price my customers better can afford. It would also make it easier for poor players to put a suit together from loot.
Also I could sell imbued pieces easier to put together with loot. This would help Siege a lot as right now, it way to hard to replace special PvP gear.

Siege sure need a increase of artifacts drop together with Fel bonus on all facets

 

[OREOGL]

the worst task by far is training skills.

I would rather spends millions on pink scrolls (and I have) than waste my time training skills.

I think taming is pretty close to being the worst skill to train. Instead I buy the mythic token and use jewelry for those.

 

[Archnight]

Yeah for sure this, were all older now and don't have as much time to play with real life obligations. Training skills was fun at the beginning when got your first few GM's/120's but after 18 years of on/off playing you dread training any skill past 80, so glad they implemented SoT's

 

[Melchiah]

Filling spell books! Doing ten at a time is a sure fire way of getting RSI...

 

[Tyrath]

Yeah that one is wayyyyyyyyy up there on my list as well. Gotten to where I just keep a full spell book in the pack and hold whichever prop empty spell book I want to use.

The bad thing is, it is not hard to get all 70s but it is tedious and time consuming. And on Siege expensive!

I love those maple trees we got as gifts a whole back. I thought these will look really cool in my garden house......... Until I found out it takes a act of god to put them where you want them.

 

[Capt. Lucky]

It's very hard to get my head around going out to do some mining. I tend to buy ingots when possible.

throw them in a crate and place crate in desired spot ,then ax crate

Yes Devs please @Kyronix We definitely need a house search...............purty please with sugar and honey!!!!!!!!

No begging is actually worse...

I wouldn't know I bought that skill out.

 

[Victim of Siege]

did you try putting them in a box, putting the box where you want the tree and axing the box?

 

[MalagAste]

I wouldn't know I bought that skill out.

Silly me I worked it not only just once from beginning to end but 3 times now...

I think taming is the only skill I have never brought to completion. I've gone to 115 in Taming and then said forget it that's good enough. Otherwise I have GM'd or 120'd every skill there is by hand. Without macros or blues or pinks.

 

[Tyrath]

did you try putting them in a box, putting the box where you want the tree and axing the box?

Errrr no I got mad and threw them away

 

[Yadd of Legends]

If you find them for sale on Legends

 

[Tyrath]

If you find them for sale on Legends

No kidding.

 

[Aran]

People play Legends?

 

[Tyrath]

People play Legends?

No those of us that play on legends are somewhere slightly below Gods But higher than Demi Gods. But without question well above mere people.

That is not entirely true!

Mongbat actually but close enough
