Hidden in the newsletter was the fact that tonight on Chessy at 7pm est is the meet and greet.
Just letting ya know, it didn't get much advertisement.

Come ask your questions, tell em your troubles.

And see how many times we get told no, later, and thats a good idea for sometime in the future (we will look into it).

But the transcripts have been a bit iffy lately, so if you want to know the deal, come on down in person.

And tbh, unless they are just ashamed of not ever having anything real to say, I don't understand why they don't post a transcript on the 'official' boards.
Maybe someone should use their question to ask this; I'd be interested to see what their answer is. Since they mention policy issues in these events, there should be an official transcript someplace.

I wont be there as its in the middle of night Europe time,
But I hope someone can transcribe this.


If I could have been there Id ask them again about IDOC and tell them to put all IDOC on hold for X month untill they have a solution.
I probably get flamed for this around here :eyes:, but Id say it anyways.

the second question would be "You guys dont get paid by EA for doing bug fixes, do you?"

For future reference, how do I save my journal?
use the EC....there's a way to do it in the CC but it's a bit complicated...in the EC under user settings > Options you check the box for Save Journal to File

But that would require EC
Yep..it's the only reason I still have the EC client installed on my computer. All I wanted was a Hue ID tool and a Save Journal to File option for the CC....they got one done :) Now they just need to make the save journal option as easy in the CC as it is in the EC...just check a box and you're done....keeping my fingers crossed!

I swear there is a setting somewhere for that... but I think I used to use a program... UOJournal Converter or some such... for the CC... you had to go into the code and change something to yes... if I recall that was ages ago though I haven't used the CC in years.

In uo.cfg for each character:

JournalSaveFile=UOLaura_Journal.txt
SaveJournal=on
JournalSaveUnicode=off


There are bugs. If you change characters during a session, it doesn't close the previous character's journal and open the changed-to character's.

This was from the M&G on Oceania back in March

[19/03/12][12:02:32] [MissEcho]: hello
[19/03/12][12:02:36] [Mesanna]: Greetings
[19/03/12][12:02:38] [Kyronix ]: Hello!
[19/03/12][12:02:48] [MissEcho]: I just have a couple of q's re player run stuff
[19/03/12][12:03:02] [MissEcho]: i asked this about 4-5 yr ago and was told it was possible
[19/03/12][12:03:13] [MissEcho]: but seems it fell in the black hole :)
[19/03/12][12:03:17] [MissEcho]: currency wall safe issue
[19/03/12][12:03:26] [MissEcho]: The safe would be much more usable for the players if there was a Deposit ONLY setting for the existing safe.
[19/03/12][12:03:35] [MissEcho]: Or failing that a NEW deed that lets you place a 'DEPOSIT ONLY SAFE' that you can set to 'anyone' like the mailbox.
[19/03/12][12:03:44] [MissEcho]: This way anyone can deposit (like a mailbox) but ONLY the house owner/co-owner (or other per set security) could withdraw.
[19/03/12][12:03:52] [MissEcho]: That way you can use it for player run events, at auctions for both the auction house on sales
[19/03/12][12:03:54] [Mesanna]: the safe is on our list
[19/03/12][12:04:10] [MissEcho]: ok well good as right now it is pretty unusable
[19/03/12][12:04:22] [MissEcho]: it seriously needs to have a deposit only function
[19/03/12][12:04:31] [MissEcho]: my next issue is game books
[19/03/12][12:04:36] [Mesanna]: thank you for the suggestion
[19/03/12][12:04:42] [Mesanna]: working on them
[19/03/12][12:04:43] [MissEcho]: for yrs we have been complaining that they don't work in both clients
[19/03/12][12:04:50] [MissEcho]: any eta ?
[19/03/12][12:04:55] [Mesanna]: we are working on them
[19/03/12][12:04:59] [MissEcho]: I asked about 10 yrs ago
[19/03/12][12:05:02] [Mesanna]: 105
[19/03/12][12:05:05] [Mesanna]: if all goes well
[19/03/12][12:05:12] [MissEcho]: 105?
[19/03/12][12:05:15] [Mesanna]: yes
[19/03/12][12:05:19] [Mesanna]: next publish
[19/03/12][12:05:21] [Mesanna]: 105
[19/03/12][12:05:26] [MissEcho]: oh had no idea what you meant lol
[19/03/12][12:05:36] [Mesanna]: when I said we are working on them I meant for the next publish
[19/03/12][12:05:42] [Kyronix ]: FORGOTTEN TREASURES! Treasures treasures .........


Guess we shall wait til 106 or 107 or 158 .....

somehow after more than 10 yrs I am not hopeful lol

I am smashido. Did you notice when I was explaining the issue, I typed like 5-6 times before they even responded as if they are completely dumbfounded by it. I don't think they understand how the code works and when adjusting something it ruins other things and they have no idea. Oh and Im replaying Shadow of War now on PS4, I already beat the game but I decided to restart a new game since Pvp is broken and now Pvm is broken. There is no reason to login anymore now. Until they fix this Im done with UO.

I think a lot of their pauses are them talking to each other in person about issues. Mesanna, who does the majority of the talking, doesn't know everything so she has to refer to the others.

Honestly, it sounds like a RNG issue to me. It could also be what you're hunting. The roof is notorious for having mage items and Exodus for dexer. It could simply be what you're hunting.

I also don’t think this is across the entire loot generator. The devs seemed to lean toward this being possible with some of the treasure chest kits but abandoned that line of thought when the person asking the question indicated otherwise.

Its not a RNG issue, it started happening after the carto glasses got fixed, it doesn't matter what I hunt in the game. Like 50% of the loot has the fortified / Of defense on it every single kill without fail. They broke it and it needs to be fixed ASAP. Last Corgul I did had like 20 items per account (40 total). 24 of those items were fortified of defense, its that way every time Ive done it since the patch. This includes tmaps, champion bosses and the roof.

I don't even understand how the Carto glasses work if you are already at GM, if 100 is the cap and there are no power scrolls how can you be 105? Even at GM I still got rusty chests. Maybe some smart person will take pity and explain it to me....:D

Supposedly they are supposed to work like miners gloves which you all know how often you fail at smelting down Valorite into ingots with or without gloves so yeah... it's like that... not quite as bad as the stupid fishing bait and suit but pretty close.

They stealth fixed the glasses. They show above 100 cartography skill now. They have horrible resists and no luck so I don't wear mine anyway.

Imbuing only makes them Meh... certainly doesn't give them something suit worthy...
Depends on whether you care if your suit is uber/perfect. personally i can get past an imperfect suit with my experience in this playstyle. i have a couple of imbued ones that work well for me.

My T hunters helmet has the bulk of my resists. Not worth changing everything else to get less luck and 103 carto. I could build a new suit around imbued glasses if I wanted to spend the hours reforging luck and stats then paying for enhancements.

They didnt stealth fix the glasses, it was a hotfix which they posted on uo.com Forgotten Treasures Hotfixes – Ultima Online and announced before applying the hotfix.

Stealth: cautious and surreptitious action or movement.
Well apparently I'm not the only one that did not see that hotfix notice. Too bad Tokuno beacons were not Hotfixed. Stealth fixed would be fine also.

It was my understanding that the problem only applies to Tokuno beacons? Are Trammel ones affected too? I've done all mine in Felucca, so I haven't had any problems.

Dunno I only do them in Tokuno... trying to find them in Trammel or Fel is like looking for a needle in a haystack... The problem in Trammel is sailing to the stinking dock in between pirates is a snooze... it's a 30 min trip... 30 min of doing nothing... sheer boredom... If that stupid dock wasn't 200 miles from the area of the spawn it wouldn't be so bad... but it's so freaking far away that it just isn't worthwhile. In the time it takes to do 1 pirate on the mainland I could do 2 or 3 in Tokuno.

Well just move the F'ing thing over near Jhelom... plenty of freaking water over there... whoever's whacked-out idea it was to put it all the way in freaking timbucktwo in the first place should be flogged... I mean seriously why would anyone do it in Tram or Fel unless you had to? It's seriously snoresville to do it there.

We need to have bugs fixed that affect the normal gameplay. We do not need a workaround for bugs that were already fixed on Test Center. As others have said, Doing the Tram or Fel ones are quite boring. I only attack Beacons, the Beacons in Tokuno are very close together and two of the areas are close together if one is all ships. A 2 minute sail or off load and recall puts you in the next area. For a while we would use two ships to finish them off faster, it is too difficult for two ships to hunt in Tram and find each other when one gets a Beacon. In Tokuno you always see land and we made up names for the land. "I'm east of Florida" The other knows exactly where to go and will be there in a minute. You could travel for 5 mins between Beacons in Tram.
