Gargoyles flying ability

Gargoyles flying ability should really take up 1 control slot (considering it takes some concentration to control your flight), to offset that it actually allows you to move around like you're mounted and more.

This means no more cheating with Greater Dragons, as you wouldn't have enough control slots to fly at the same time, so you'll have to walk like the rest.

Gargoyles are more than enough overpowered as it is, so nothing wrong with nerfing flying just a little bit.

They have some pretty good racial abilities. Not to mention they can fly. Which currently means that they can run around with a GD without the limitations the other two races have.

Ok.

They get 20 Throwing

5HCI and 50 HCI cap

30 mysticism

2mr

Berzerk

Flying.

small imbuing bonus

Humans

2hpr

20 all skills (they get 3mr/2sr from this)

higher weight capacity

Crafting stuff

Elf

20 base mana

75 energy resist cap

night sight

Harder to detect

passive detection

crafting stuffs

Humans and elves can MOUNT

mounting gives increased movement speeds, tamers to care around a decent pet with them (dread, nightmare, ki-rin, whatever)

a possible 20+% Damage reduction in PvM.

Gargs can't.

Flying is the equivelent of Ostard form, but with a longer casting time, and the ability to be disrupted.

Move on.

Do you just make this stuff up?
Where does it say that it takes concentration for gargs to fly?
Why do you think it's cheating with G. Drags? I do the same on my ninja tamer.
Does that mean I cheat?

And if gargs are so overpowered then why doesn't everybody play them? Right now they're the most underutilized race in Sosaria.

Those are some very ignorant comments.

Doesn't flying drain stam quite a bit? To off-set this I'd imagine you would want to have either Focus or a lot of dex. I would think a ninja tamer would be a heck of a lot more powerful than a gargoyle tamer who relies on flying.

Before gargoyles actually made it in there was a ton of complaining about how people thought gargoyles with their flying would be terribly overpowered. But ever since the release all I hear now is how underpowered they are due to their racial abilities and penalties.

Flying isn't as good as it's made out to be when you actually try it out. I've tried out gargoyles on test to see what it's really like and at the moment I am not entirely impressed. Some people like them but they're just not that great for me. Humans/elves at the moment are a tad better. Armor is a heck-of-a lot easier to come by and they can actually ride mounts.

Yes it does. A gargoyle with low dex, no focus and no sr items can get about half a screen before running out of stamina. I tried it during beta. To move around on my gargoyle crafter I imbued SR2 on each piece of her armor.

The limitations the other two races have? You mean having 70 ninja so you can be mounted all the time with your gd? People have pointed that out, but seriously. Also I have gone over the racial abilities before, side by side. You have mr 2, Humans gets mr3. You have flying, removing the ability to be mounted plus needing excess amount of stamina and stamina regen. 20 throwing? humans have that.....30 mystic, 10 more than humans..... what else? oh right, the last ability. Beserk, ok this one is decent but seriously, are you going to allow your health to stay low enough to benefit from this? if you are a dexxer type, soon as you take damage you start healing (assuming you have healing) if not, you wait till you are x and use a pot, or any other way you heal. If you are a mage, you are spending the entire time running away trying to heal, not doing any damage.

the 5hci over cap.....gives you a 2%chance to hit your opponent over what their chance is, not very "overpowered"

....Know what, I have gone on long enough considering the intellect presented here.

No, they don't. Throwing is Garg only. Humans can't use it.
I hope this is a sarcastic remark....Humans have 20 in every skill they can use, seeing as how throwing is only an equivalent I do not see how it matters if i said gargoyles have 20 anatomy, and humans have 20 tactics. Sure the skills are different in name, and slightly different in use.

My point has nothing to do with the specific skill, it has to do with 20 throwing = humans 20 archery or humans 20 swords, or how about humans have 20 in every fighting skill while gargoyles only have 20 in one?

Jeez, are you just trolling? Ninja tamers take up a whole skill set, gargoyle flying ability is for free.

Why doesn't everyone play them? Lack of equipment in circulation, shared equipment on accounts, they look ugly as hell and not everyone has upgraded to SA.

Yes it does. A gargoyle with low dex, no focus and no sr items can get about half a screen before running out of stamina. I tried it during beta. To move around on my gargoyle crafter I imbued SR2 on each piece of her armor.
Will have to test that again...though I moved around flying for a long long time without any SR at all. Perhaps that was removed in the latest big patch that tweaked gargoyles?

Not everyone shares your opinion. Not everyone thinks they are overpowered (proven here so far). And EVERYONE would upgrade if they thought gargoyles were overpowered, so yea.....2 out of three of your answers do not even make sense, and the third is a standpoint of your own and not a point of proof.

This happens all over the board by many people. It is a fairly overpowered ability to by default have a 0 control slot mount that you can't get dismounted from. (afaik, you can't get dismounted or knocked out of flying)

Just because not everyone thinks they're a bit overpowered in that department, doesn't make them not so.

And no, not everyone would pay 20+ dollars per account to get gargoyles. Gargoyles can't wear human gear, so if you share high end gear between chars, then you can't really just switch to Gargoyle. That they're ugly is not a point of proof, but simply a reasoning for some to not switch, there are few I know or even myself that wants to change certain chars to gargoyle, even if it makes them better, simply because the gargoyles are ugly.

Uhm....No, if they were overpowered everyone would spend the money, if they were overpowered everyone would change them despite their look. I suppose I should not say "everyone" but.....hmm no real good way to put it how I want to say it, so im going to stick with everyone. Also, as I said it is not point of proof as to why you don't see that many.

Nvm, I do not even care about your crusade enough to continue this.

The second part of your post though, Are you saying a lot of people complain and cry nerf? It would be true, but I was just wondering if it is what you meant. Also...not being able to be dismounted? since when? I have not played a gargoyle since beta, and have not seen a single one in pvp, so can't even begin to try and test your theory on that.

You forgot the issue about gear. Like if I have 4 chars that share a Crimson for instance and I change one into a gargoyle, that gargoyle wouldn't be able to wear the crimsom (if they can wear that one directly, then take any other artifact)

I definetly wouldn't switch to Gargoyle (neither would most others I know) on my main chars, even if Gargoyles were a lot more powerful. Its not all about power.

You said humans have Throwing. This is an incorrect statement. It was corrected. If you meant something else you should have typed that instead. You didn't put "but I really mean this..." in parentheses, you simply said Humans have Throwing, and they don't. Additionally, Throwing is in no way comparable to archery. Sure, they're both ranged skills, but so is Magery, and you wouldn't say Magery and Archery were anything alike.

Chaos...that answered the question about dismounting gargoyles in like 4-5 consecutive FoFs' before the release of SA. Each time the devs confirmed that you CAN indeed dismount gargoyles with a bola and every other item that can dismount players. Perhaps you're the reason they had to answer the same question repeatedly in FoF! Clearly it still didn't get through though, lol.

So here's an idea. Go play a gargoyle. Go play one to get an idea of what you're trying to argue. Know what you're going to talk about before you talk about it.

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Do you know what AFAIK means??

Even if you can be dismounted (its not like I PvP, so I don't really get dismounted as a garg), it still doesn't alter the fact that its like a free control slot mount. The whole balance point for Greater Dragons was that a basic tamer couldn't ride a mount and as such would have to walk around with it, balancing out its power. This can be helped with animal form, but that requires you to have an additional skill on your template, its not just for free.

So here's an idea. Go play a gargoyle. Go play one to get an idea of what you're trying to argue. Know what you're going to talk about before you talk about it.
I already have a gargoyle. They're ugly as hell still.

hmmmm. Looks like Lord Chaos has been killed by a Sampire and a Gargoyle Tamer in rather short order. Yes, these two templates MUST be nerfed immediately if they are able to so easily defeat such a mighty warrior as Lord Chaos.

Please Lord Chaos: make a complete list of all the rtrest of the templates that own you on a regular basis. Then we can have the Devs nerf them all at once for you.

\Sarcasm

Gargoyles, after this last publish, are finally moving int he direction were they are usefull as mroe than mules. There is still a bit of tweaking that can be done, but a nerf is not in order, and control slots is not something that needs to be looked into.

As it takes concentration to ride a mount (lest you fall off), perhaps horses should require 2 control slots. ;)

This thread isn't, I am of the opinion that it should be balanced by taking up a control slot when gargoyles fly. Nothing I said in the post was mistaken. And people wouldn't be opposed to it if it didn't affect them, but since they oppose it, they know its a problem, but don't want a slight nerf to it being gargs themselves.

You seem to make a lot of very gerneral statements about everyone with very little concrete evidence to back it up. I do not think Gargoyles are overpowered, but do not play one, so your statement that everyone against a nerf is a garg who likes being overpowered is wrong. Just like your statemetn in another post that looting script downloads are high so everyone in UO must be using them. It is a very small tweak to the script to have it work on freeshards, and although I still play UO excusively, I have a large number of friends that enjoy freeshards and play there most of the time, using auto loot scripts they have downloaded and tweaked.

And as far as being mistaken in this thread, you stated that flying gargs could not be dismounted, but they can.

You really do seem to be Popps Jr. who refuses to listen to any counterarguments to your opinion. Excellent observation Connor_Graham. :)

I didn't say everyone against it is. I didn't say Gargoyles are overpowered, I said that it should take up a control slot, thats all, thats merely a tweak. If gargoyles truly are ok with their abilities, then them taking up a control slot wouldn't hurt them.

It is a very small tweak to the script to have it work on freeshards, and although I still play UO excusively, I have a large number of friends that enjoy freeshards and play there most of the time, using auto loot scripts they have downloaded and tweaked.
First of all its counted how much its used on EA shards for the most of them. And if you compare the usage rate to the actual amount of people looting, then its a large portion of those that use it. And your statement that omg, only freesharders would ever "cheat" is silly to say the least. Most likely you're a scripter yourself trying to downplay how much these programs and scripts are used so EA won't do anything against them, lol.

No staffer here I have had contact with have not used one, everyone except one I know use it, most people I see use it (its not that hard to spot people using it, especially the EC looter)...you on the other hand have NOTHING to disprove my statements.

And as far as being mistaken in this thread, you stated that flying gargs could not be dismounted, but they can.
lol, either you're trolling or just don't read so well. I didn't state that, I stated that AS FAR AS I KNOW they can't. It is however irrelevant to the main issue whether they can be dismounted when flying or not.

Because its balanced by it taking up a skill slot. Gargoyles flying ability is racial, so they don't really have to sacrifice anything for it.

Though that said, it could be argued that Animal Form should take 1 control slot too and I would not be adverse to that.

The June 26, 2009 FoF Q&A about dismounting as it relates to gargoyle characters is here: http://www.uoherald.com/fof/?fofId=161.

Also, this June 5, 2009 FoF shows that the developers did discuss internally the issue of whether or not gargoyle flying should take up a control slot: http://www.uoherald.com/fof/?fofId=158. Since they made no change by the time SA was released over three months later (ample time to program a change), I think it's safe to assume they decided against initially releasing gargoyles with such a limitation. They may have decided to take a wait-and-see approach and implement such a limitation only if/when it became necessary.

What exactly does reading comprehension got to do with knowing what AFAIK means? You never explained what it means in this thread at all therefore it has nothing to do with reading comprehension. Keep in mind also, not everyone is up to date on the current slangs and abbreviations, lol.

Of course knowing what it means also has nothing to do with the fact that you are still completely wrong about not being about to dismount flying gargoyles. In addition, saying as far as I know before stating something inaccurate doesn't excuse you from being wrong when you're trying to use it as proof.

And of course gargoyles will also need focus or some careful work to compensate for the draining of the stam whilst flying. At the moment at least unless the devs do some tinkering.

A racial ability should not take up a slot, As been said they can't run for long unless they have alot of Dex, And a GD is very slow anyway, So running ahead is pointless because your GD will be stuck fighting stuff you can't see.

Well really if we want to look at balance it really stinks that I have to waste an imbuing spot on my armor/jewels for night sight when elves have it as a racial ability and do not have to give up anything for it. (I do not feel this way, makign a point to LC)

Different races, different abilities. Strengths and weakness to all 3 depending on your play style and your personal skill set. Perfect balance between every little thing in UO would make it very boring.

This means no more cheating with Greater Dragons, as you wouldn't have enough control slots to fly at the same time, so you'll have to walk like the rest.

Gargoyles are more than enough overpowered as it is, so nothing wrong with nerfing flying just a little bit.
No. There's no need for this.

"Cheating with Greater Dragons"?
That statement's laughable at best. The issue was thoroughly debated throughout Beta testing. The devs are well aware that Gargoyles can Fly with Greater Dragons in tow, and they have been aware since long before SA was released.

Gargoyles aren't overpowered, and this change is unnecessary.

I personally play a garg tamer and love that I can run and use a Gdragon at the same time, but a gdrag is slow so it wont keep up with you if you are running at full speed you constantly have to stop and let it catch up so no help there the only thing it helps with is being able to run away and that is for a short ways as flying eats up huge amounts of stamina. as for berserk I get no help there as I am a mage and dont use the bonuses it gives. Flying aslo has a casting time and can be interrupted as you are trying to get into the air and since you cant use a mount it means if you get dismounted you are basically stuck walking unless the person attacking you is distracted. The comments you made leave me wondering if you ever tried a garg tamer or just saw one running around with a dragon. Try the character out before you complain about them.

Do you own stock in Kleenex? Cause you sure to cry a lot. I think every post you have made in the past two weeks has been some whine about something you feel is overpowered.

Cheating with greater dragons? How is it cheating when you can just as easily turn your tamer into a gargoyle and do the same thing?

Just because you choose not to doesn't make it cheating.

Will have to test that again...though I moved around flying for a long long time without any SR at all. Perhaps that was removed in the latest big patch that tweaked gargoyles?
You're full of crap. I had to rebuild my mage/tamers suit because at first it didn't have any sr on it.

Now I have 40 sta, and about 8 sr and I still can run out of stamina while flying. Put this into prospective in Fel, when you push through an NPC it can be very hindering.

Yeah, you also didn't mention that gargoyles CANT MOUNT. Meaning I can't ride a nightmare, ki'rin, unicorn, dreadmare, cu sidhe (BTW Pads can be converted now, not that its useful...) Horse, faction horses, ethereals, do you want me to continue?

Yeah... he called every garg tamer who uses a GD a cheater. No offense, but accusing people of cheating is pretty inflamatory.

Not to mention he didn't offer any supporting evidence of WHY it should be changed, and he left out key information about how Gargs are actually balanced, or... underbalanced to the other races.

We do have rules set in place to promote community, but last time I checked, accusing people of cheating was against those rules?
