[Pawain]

There is a new Clicky for the Kitchen set. China Cabinet and Pie Safe can be in opened or closed position.

 

[Cyrah]

The kitchen is nice, cannot place my own china in the cabinet or pies... darn!

 

[Fridgster]

New veteran rewards have been added to the veteran reward system!

Can I assume this does not mean world wide? They do not seem to be appearing in my gump even after patch.

Ya that part is old. Still on TC. This a TC update. The changes and store items are new.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed any existing ranged weapons that had the Use Best Weapon property.

Is this a good fix, as in archery UBWS will now work, or bad fix, as in the property will be removed?
Not clear on the context.

 

[Mene (DF)]

I love it - so cute :

 

[Eärendil]

Wow, thats cool! Pretty nice artwork!

 

[Delores D]

The tile sets are nice, especially the trap door looking one. The kitchen set is fantastic.

 

[SugarMMM]

Wow those look really nice can't wait to get them!

 

[TheGrimReefer]

Talk about UGLY. These housing contests are a joke. Everyone was worried that people would make cubes, but thats exactly what we are getting. Im not sure what people are finding appealing with these designs or any of them for that matter.

 

[Dot_Warner]

The extra counter pieces in the pack should really be storage. It's a lot of floorspace to give up for for only two containers (and stacking them as in the image above will make them clip into the next story )

 

[Maximus Neximus]

Are the vet reward teleporters changing as well?

 

[Ruby Knight]

I notice 2 things right off the bat with the pie safe and china cabinet. First, they stick up through the second floor if places on a counter top and second, the pie safe doors won't close after it is opened.

 

[Great DC]

We need content!!!!! Not kitchen sets.

 

[Dot_Warner]

We need content!!!!! Not kitchen sets.

To some, the kitchen set is content. It's also a $-maker for BS which is coming out with content (and QoL updates). So chill.

I think a few are at least improvements over the last batch.

LOL not gonna be a $$ maker when peeps find out they were tested AT ALL...or else they would have known they stick thru the ceiling and wont close. Do we even HAVE a QA dept still?

I got mildly excited about them. But then I realized they're going to be sold and not craftable. So any excitement I had is gone.

This is what is being tested.

Test Center Release 4

We are testing it. I dont think we need a degree in computer science to test a cabinet.
Give your input in the correct area and it will be heard.
One of my favorite online game posters was Willing Lab Rat.

For some of us testing is part of the fun in UO.

From the official Website in reply to my comment on broken content:

I said:"I notice 2 things right off the bat with the pie safe and china cabinet. First, they stick up through the second floor if places on a counter top and second, the pie safe doors won't close after it is opened."



WTF?

 

[Parnoc]

How do we open the Maritime Cargo chests looted from the lighthouse?

 

[Basara]

How well do the kitchen parts mix with the bar parts?

After all, they are of similar design, the bar sink also can be filled with water, and there are container parts in the bar as well.

 

[Ruby Knight]

Followup, @Kyronix says the cabinets were not intended to sit on the countertops. So, My bad!

 

[Val-Tur]

Exactly. Everything like this should be obtainable in game instead of having to pay extra. 20 yrs of unbroken monthly subscription (on top of paying for expansions) is starting to mean less and less.

 

[celticus]

WE WANT MORE FURNITURE!! YES!! Hmm.. now we are convinced..

 

[Swordsman]

Never seen China items before, it is something new to me. I will definitely get one.

Broadsword has to make the bottom line EA demands. And for every player quitting, another player has to make up the lost revenue. Like putting new colored soulstones or some furniture in the store and they good for another 3 months.

Do you know how the Triton stats were adjusted?

 

[Pawain]

HP lowered a little and Str lowered quite a bit. Also has a nice thing added.

Will make a good pet if it stays as is.

We have both old and new triton stats in our bestiary on our webpage so you can see exactly what was changed on it.
