Wow two hours to kill the boss?? I am not a fan of that tiny house shanty town but then there are plenty of ugly housing areas on prodo too. I didn't get very far, mostly because of my lack of direction sense and some quests that didn't seem to work properly.

lol
i'll just stay over at the i nn
their rooms are already furnished with everything a person would need!
also, the timer on the job board timer is really punishing. having to wait 20 minutes to gain 2.0 skills from crafting is not really inspiring. it takes a lot of time to mine ingots and they go very quickly by having to do all these repetitive quests for weapons and armor to deliver to the soldiers. it feels more like a job or prison sentence than an achievement for my character ....

Did you figure out how to put your medals on it? Forgot to take a picture of mine. I do believe it will be transferable and you can show off all your achievements on it.

like the idea of a sash with your achievements pinned on it.
also wonder if they are open to the idea of letting us type in our "house name" rather than the random ones they give at the bard. most of the preset ones are not what i want my guy to be associated with, would prefer to customize it .

And you can mix and match skills as you like? (given you have the points to learn though)
Or do you have to buy them in "packages"? (i.e. Taming comes only with Animal Lore etc...)
And then what's next? How does the endgame look like?
Also would I would like to know, is anything rebalanced for melee combat? As a warrior do you still need someone to cross-heal, if you take on bigger mobs? Or can you solo bigger mobs too?
That gets complicated. Let's say you choose taming, you lose healing. Then you can choose bard, you lose other skills.
So, best to see our options when we see the whole game.
There will be no 800 skill point templates.
If you have reflexes like me, yes there are tough mobs. Cross healing is good.
Others could solo all but the end boss.
I got to him when others were about to pop him. So I killed him with them. But like a dummy I did not have his quest yet, I didn't read where I should have gone first.Wow two hours to kill the boss?? I am not a fan of that tiny house shanty town but then there are plenty of ugly housing areas on prodo too. I didn't get very far, mostly because of my lack of direction sense and some quests that didn't seem to work properly.
So I stayed and waited for the next spawn, so I was alone for a long time until I got others to come.
But his loot is like corgul. Wait till it goes public and there will be a lot of items and nice items. So I think the loot will be a draw when this is live.
That means, you can't choose, which skill to replace?
I was hoping, you can set any skill to your liking to down and when you spend points on taming, the skill set to down is lowered....
Nope it goes by predetermined groups.
Remember this was a limited look. We do not know what the game will be. Skills are just what you do to get ready. And they made those only take a day or a few days of play.
Thank you so much for sharing. It really helps.
I asked for for info on the Quaderac. I got a reply.
So get over your issues with repeating a few quests to get to GM skill. That part is just the means to get to the real fun stuff.
@Thrakkar your tough stuff will be from this thing. Not the stuff we kill to get to the point of being able to really fight stuff.
I did ask if our guys will stay, and explained we needed them to get to use this item. Ill post his reply if any.

There is a new place on the official forums to post NL related stuff.
@ShriNayne and others.
I found this on Cah.
They are limiting the amount of stat modifiers within the legacy rule set. “There will not be Swing Speed Increase (SSI), Lower Mana Cost (LMC), or Lower Reagent Cost (LRC).53 The ‘Mage Armor’ item property will not be found on New Legacy so “don’t get your hopes up if you want to be a mage and wear plate mail, that’s not happening.”54 Faster casting is currently not featured on gear.55

@PlayerSkillFTW or anyone that noticed.
What does this mean?
Combat
I saw the special move needs 10 Mana. I also only have 14 mana. So I get the mana part.
What is the Stamina part? There is that Stamina Protection % you can see on the buff bar. All plate armor makes it 100%.
Does that mean you will lose that % less Stamina when you do a special?

- How do special moves work?
- The initial toggle to activate a special move will consume stamina based on the special move. Mana will be consumed when the special move is performed.

Like I said, you craft bandaids with a sewing kit. It requires 0 skill. You are crafting.
OMFG LMMFAO Cutting up Band-Aids is NOT crafting, what a stupid thing to say.
Confidently incorrect.

No stealing... I'm out. I remember them saying this was going to bring in new players and other garbage during the live stream some years ago. I was laughing then and I'm still laughing now :)

For someone complaining about crafting, it seems you did not do much of it.
What other things in the crafting menu have you decided is not crafting?

Are you doing the Tailor quests, NO you are not. I bet if you bought a smith hammer you could get the menu up, does that mean you are a smith, NO. Everybody can make aides no matter what they are because it takes ZERO skills, does that mean they are a Tailor, NO. Go back to your Taming and stick to what you know> What a joke, I can make aides so that must mean I am a crafter, NOT.Confidently incorrect.

You are going to have a heart attack getting so worked up over this. If you use a sewing kit, you are crafting. Skill requirement is irrelevant.

The resource pack allows you to go mine and make ingots that have 0 weight in it. Same with leather and feathers, etc.Why change the way bandages are made? I just don't get that! I remember when I started playing gathering wool to make bandages and accidentally killing the poor sheep!
Is that not an improvement? IMO it is. Notice my guy is carrying 750 feathers with no trouble. That would help me make arrows. Tailor can have lots of cloth on hand and take 0 weight.
The miners I saw were able to stay in the same area for hours. They had their horse next to them. No need for a Beetle.
Posters asked for changes like this.
Seems like script Miners would love this
And since they can only use it for their own crafting, who cares? You can't remove the items from there. They are used when you craft. Crafted armor is very low resists.
At this point all I would use someone else for is repairs. But the 2 stats on weapons are so lame, I just dropped my damaged swords on the ground and grabbed another identical one i found.. Tailors could sell clothing accessories.

Not really, you can't stack up 60k ingots, when you hit 2,500 your pack is full - and you can't sell them to anyone, only use them yourself.

I can see how that would be very helpful, running back and forth dragging heavy piles of stuff to my house used to really annoy me! Well that's certainly one thing they have improved, there are a few other areas that need a bit of work though.
5K Ingots for each color and 5K logs for each color. Not sure what happens if you get more than the 5K. Sucks because ingots cost 31 gold and you can NOT sell them to any NPC.
Petra clarified something Kyronix said. A crafter can repair an item to its full potential. Many things start with 20s 40s durability.
When repaired, they go to 255 durability.
The mace I got for changing to making, was a decent item but it had low durability. Unfortunately it is a wand so the specials are not great. But at the time I could not use specials.
So that gives crafters a needed chore.

A Small % post anywhere. I saw a lot of names from these forums that have not posted in years. Many of them played a lot during the weekend and were seemingly happy. But I have seen none of them post here. I don't want to tag names but some were prolific posters from the past.for a chapter that is supposed to bring in alot of new players, i am seeing a lot of the same old posts from the same old posters
Come on back guys, the water is safe. ShriNayne stopped biting a long time ago.
What new players are even going to know about Stratics much less UO when there is no advertisement.for a chapter that is supposed to bring in alot of new players, i am seeing a lot of the same old posts from the same old posters
I didn't think EJ could play NL, so where are all these new posters? As far as I can tell it is perty much the same people just posting more is allA Small % post anywhere.

I said old stratics posters that posted years ago. That have kept quiet. That's why you have not seen their names posting. They were some of the most helpful players in Gen Chat also. You really did not notice a lot of stratics and official forum names in NL?
I think Discord offers instant communication so most probably use that form of media more than a forum.

Also, to be fair, Stratics is not the official forum, and even then, a great many people never post here--or there.A Small % post anywhere.

I suppose actually new players would use the UO official forums, and I would not imagine new players would even know what Stratics is.
EJ gets 20 banks slots, can't start a guild and wont be able to place a house. I ended up subbing

Also EJ players were getting BODs for coloured ore that they couldn't gather due to the restrictions. I think for the purposes of the Beta test it would be better to let everyone play without restriction, a lot of EJ accounts are people who used to sub then the account went EJ when they stopped paying, they are more likely to sub again if they like it. Totally new players to UO will be a much smaller number I would imagine.

NEWS - [UO.Com] New Legacy Beta Test Weekend #1
7/26/2024 Greetings, We are pleased to announce the Ultima Online: New Legacy Beta Testing Weekend #1 will commence today at 12pm ET and conclude Monday, July 29th at 9 AM ET. In anticipation of this release, a new patch is available for both the Classic & Enhanced Clients. The patch is...
community.stratics.com
So far restrictions I found for EJ on NL:
limited set of skills
limited bank
can't use BOD books
some NPCs have grayed talk menu - is it for all or just EJ?
Yeah, but that's nothing new. That applies to all shards, not just NL. So it is pretty safe to assume, that anything that applies to a regular shard also applies to NL. The full list of restrictions can be found here: Endless Journey – Ultima Online
Yeah, that's the only new thing we found so far, which only applies to NL.
As a Mage, I wonder what primary skill I would lose if I chose Alchemy. If it's Focus, I will prob do that. If not, will just buy potions from NPC or PC vendors.
