Which is just the opposite of what players have been told for years. Players have been told that luck affects the quality/intensity of an item, but has ZERO affect on whether an item drops or not. When @Kyronix stated that it did, on the "other" forum, I questioned him on it, and he promptly shut up, and wouldn't even reply when I asked again, and "tagged" him.
Probably because he had already answered the question. Also likely because you are... well... you.
Says the guy who doesn't even play UO!
You'd think that even if he'd answered it elsewhere, he could give you the courtesy of a link, or mention he'd answered it elsewhere. Better yet, they could set up a little UO.com page on luck to tell everyone definitively. Luck never affected frequency for a lot of years, so has it changed? Do they know for sure? They're the ones who should know how their own code works, but a lot of time I have to question how much they even care to look. I suppose
I agree with this for the most part; I'm not sure why certain things are kept secret from the general population. Things like luck / loot tables / treasure of or Doom "points" til next drop should all be public knowledge IMO. Perfect example is that there are certain things people can kill (I'm sure with certain luck) to get things like a clean 10SSI / 35DI jewel over and over (albeit possibly days in between); it's easy to come to this conclusion when you go to certain vendors that has like 3 of the same exact jewel...at that point it's not coincidence.
This is wrong..there's a clear difference in the quality of loot when you add in a good amount of luck..I personally dont think luck is working as intended and never has. I don't believe in the mythical Felucca luck, or the mythical Perfection Luck...there's no reason they couldnt have coded those to show on the status bar the way other buffs show like lrc/fc/fcr etc....
The fel luck bonus works differently to the luck in your status. Creatures have double the fame which is part of the final loot table calc, plus items have 1 additional property.
Yes you can see luck work on mining Niter. You can see it increases in fel.
How many hits does it take to get max luck? Should we kill the paras in Fire slow? Not using weapon specials?
There should be zero difference between clicking a luck statue, and entering a felucca ruleset, both are simply events that have taken place. I can sort of get down with your Perfection comment as that makes sense and I wasn't thinking about anyone honoring something and killing something else although if you think about it, perfection is perfection and shouldn't matter who you're attacking..imo.
