The Phoenix Ultimatum.

[Slayvite]

So she's not very happy at all at the lack of movement on getting her "old skin" back.....
....so she has instructed me that she will be causing servers to go offline each day and every day henceforth........
A bit severe but desperate times and all that.
The following is the times each server can expect to be offline......(all times are GMT)
------------------------------------------------
Atlantic,
Catskills,
Chesapeake,
Great Lakes,
Lake Superior,
Legends,
Siege Perilous will all approx 11am (GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
Baja
Lake Austin
Napa Valley
Origin
PacificSonoma will all be approx 1pm
---------------------------------------------------
Asuka
Hokuto
Izumo
Mizuho
MugenSakura
Wakoku

-----------------------------------------------------
Arirang
Formosa
Balhae at 12am
-----------------------------------------------------
Oceania at 9pm
-----------------------------------------------------

Again, sorry for the lack of 20min play this will cause but the UO Devs refuse to listen to reason so it's time to take more forceful action.

This obsession over the phoenix is mind-boggling... does it really affect your game play that much? I can see ONLY the hue being reworked abit, nothing else

only closed to you, we prefer the old and are entitled to voice our displeasure in the artwork of the Rainbow Puke Turkey as vehemently and often as we want to. is there some reason you don't want us to voice our opinion?

 

[Slayvite]

If you knew my history with the Phoenix you would understand.
Think i once spent over 5 months in her dungeon in battles without ever leaving, after those Phoenix armour parts that made my first 100 mill.

Me and the Phoenix have a long history. lol

Closed to me and the dev's as per Mesanna's comment above, you are both entitled to your opinions however how many times must you be told "we have no plans to change it back" before it starts to sinks in? Plus some prefer the new phoenix as it's more true to what it should have looked like in the first place...

"We have no plans to to change it back" is not final. "we will never change it back" would be a final.

 

[Slayvite]

They "had no plans" to ever put in a jewelry box....
They "had no plans" to re-do enhancements.....
They "had no plans" to change Animal training.....
They "had no plans" for UO to ever go F2P......
ect....
But in answer to your question, NO. I'm like a dog with it's nap time toy.

 

[It Lives]

I agree the new phoenix is absurd, the ones for the turtle spawn can stay but the tameable phoenix should be reverted. Speed and all.

 

[sablestorm]

I prefer the new phoenix over the rust eagle. Keep it as is.

 

[omukai]

Actually made me wanna tame one right now.

Anyone got a good template?

Probably not worth the effort : I think its still 4 slots? Have not checked recently..Prolly best temp is peace tamer? Then the dang thing flys all over the place, and most importantly on inaccessible places, rocks etc, and it STAYS there till the cows come home. Then you invisi, flies out of the spot and repeat the process. Doubt it is worth it with all the efforts and better pets to train, i.e. fire beetles, Cus, etc?

 

[Slayvite]

Oh they are the strongest pets in game now.
Infact you could say they are vastly over-powered now...

Take it along to fight a mob and said mob takes one look at the Phoenix and dies of laughter.

They are magery pets.

We heard that phrase for months about the sudden change to runebooks too...flat out told it would enver be changed.
But persistent pancakes and complaining got it reverted.
The difference with the runebooks tho, that got them reverted, is that even some of the started howling about them lol.

A phoenix is not an eagle and was too small, hence the change. If anything the hue needs a minor fix, but that's it

 

[Pawain]

I found the troublemaker.

 

[Fridgster]

Perhaps a compromise? How about they make a vet reward of the phoenix in it's original form? Kind of a memorial.

 

[Uriah Heep]

Phoenix under glass? :/

 

[Uriah Heep]

I know, and I won't argue the point. Just seems kinda off to me, of all the ugly-ass art ingame, the two they "improve" were runebooks (reverted) and phoenix.

How about making the Nujelm gardens pretty again? or making stair railing actually sit next to the stairs instead a tile away? you know, real stuff lol

 

[Lord Arm]

i tend to agree with poster. thoughts,
- i dont remember anyone asking for this, no imput was asked for on this change.
- i feel the devs time could of been better used on others things such as bugs and improving game cc and ec.
- i personally dont like the change but maybe some people do
- reminds me of the rune book change that no one asked for and many hated but thank god devs listened.
there maybe a reason for change that we are not aware of. maybe a different design/color then this rainbow phoenix.

PvPers complained that it was too small to click on. They made it bigger and made sure they could see it. Then they nerfed all pets so PvPers only have mounts to kill.

 

[S.P.A]

I couldn't care less about the Phoenix but dear God I want a FacePam.

Allright, so you want a pink eagle? It sure is awesome, isn't it?
Hate to burst your bubble, but an ultimatum only works if someone actually cares...
But good luck though...

 

[Slayvite]

I have to laugh that nobody cares about the daily disruption to game play.......

guess you lot are all just too old and wise to fall for it

 

[Mr Bug]

Simple solution is revert the phoenix back to the Pyre graphic, you know the little blaze eagle that lives in the Labyrinth. Easy to see and hued like a phoenix. Problem solved. After all the phoenix and greater phoenix are two different birds. For those who like the rainbow pigeon go hang around the dragon turtle champion spawn. I'm with Slayvite on this issue.

As long as they are dark red and not multi-coloured.

Only a Sleestak would accept the new Not a Phoenix.

 

[Cymidei]

I think they should change the phoenix back. The new phoenix looks like a Big Stick Popsicle that someone has sucked on too long. Garish colors, too stretched out...bleh.
