From the Newsletter

Starts soon!


Sorry for the late post!
I am going to work at that time , please someone later post text of what was discussed.

2 things I want to ask
1- if it is possible to give fast speed weapon (krysses , Tekagis , Tessin , etc...which have low damage) some meaning in PvM , like increase critical chance when you have lots of stamina and SSI
2- make use in PvM or let us block pets from using useless abilities : like dismount , disarm , concussion . Let them be like crushing blow or AI. Let us wipe dragon breath to pick another ability or plug that breathing hole, possibility to remove bleed on Cu Side .

[Mesanna]: if it is not needed yes I will delete it
[Meowdy]: oh they are all over
[Meowdy]: with mesanna holdings
[Meowdy]: ill be sure to start logging them and emailing

[Meowdy]: thanks
[Meowdy]: spit in the face of the dead you did
[Meowdy]: shame on you
[Mesanna]: good evening
[Xyience]: hello
[Kyronix]: Greetings!
[Xyience]: 2 things
[Xyience]: have you all givin any more thought about VVV arties on Siege
[Xyience]: to increase the shards population
[Xyience]: it would draw alot more ppl
[Mesanna]: not everyone on siege agrees
[Xyience]: and create more interactions
[Mesanna]: thats the problem when we addressed it before
[Xyience]: the ppl who are agent it dont leave there homes
[Xyience]: against
[Mesanna]: lol
[Xyience]: it woud really populate and make it easier for new players
[Xyience]: and create more interactions in towns
[Mesanna]: we would have to repoll before making that step
[Xyience]: please do and see how many of the accounts are owned by a few ppl
[Xyience]: 2nd question
[Xyience]: the EMs are doing a prettyu good jon on events
[Xyience]: good job*
[Mesanna]: the sad part is there is no way to know if everyone voting is from Siege
[Mesanna]: or a friend of someone there
[Xyience]: i hear ya there
[Xyience]: just try it
[Xyience]: can always take them out
[Mesanna]: we will see what we can do
[Xyience]: and the 2nd q
[Xyience]: like i was saying t he EM'sdo good jobs
[Mesanna]: thank you I will pass that along
[Xyience]: but do u think its ok for a EM to middifiy a boss so WOD doesnt work on a final boss for a drop
[Mesanna]: everyone tries hard to be creative
[Xyience]: it makes some templates not able to play
[Mesanna]: have you spoken to the EM
[Mesanna]: and voiced your concerns
[Xyience]: I have before
[Xyience]: and the responce was
[Xyience]: they think WOD is over powered
[Xyience]: its not for them to change the mechanics of hte game
[Xyience]: does that make sence?
[Mesanna]: I understand what you are saying
[Mesanna]: we will see if we can't make adjustments
[Xyience]: make it so they cant turn odd WOD is all it would take ot balance things
[Xyience]: off*
[Mesanna]: we will look into it
[Xyience]: that is all
[Xyience]: *cake for everyone*
[Mesanna]: thank you
[Mesanna]: lol
[Mesanna]: Good evening
[Dragula]: Good Evening.
[Dragula]: I dont have much
[Dragula]: just please take a look at the Tabard I am wearing
[Dragula]: It cannot be repaired
[Dragula]: Suaron over there is my Mule and I have tried to repair it with all skills
[Dragula]: I had to purchase a Transmog potion in order to Transmog but now I cant repair it
[Mesanna]: one sec
[Dragula]: np
[Kyronix]: We can look into it, thank you for the feedback
[Dragula]: Thank you
[Mesanna]: good evening
[Tejnik]: Good evening!
[Parallax]: Hello!
[Kyronix]: Greetings!
[Tejnik]: This one is more of a comment, which I'm sure you hear a lot
[Tejnik]: But I wanted to take a moment and reemphasize about since the line was short.
[Tejnik]: The lag and attendance at EM events have been considerable lately. Which is kind of a good thing cause it shows how popular it i
[Tejnik]: But it's become overwhelming. Anything the team can do to support the EM events in this way would be welcome.
[Tejnik]: The crowd basically drowns out everything. The story, the fight, etc
[Tejnik]: And again, this means you all are doing a good job, which is great
[Tejnik]: Whatever can be done to lessen the load especailly on some shards would be wonderful
[Mesanna]: we are always looking for tools to improve the experience
[Tejnik]: Excellent, thank you!
[Mesanna]: No one else
[Mesanna]: Good evening
[Sauron]: Hello, Me again
[Sauron]: 2 part question
[Sauron]: Could we get another invasion event? and
[Sauron]: instead of artifacts like turn ins. we would just be able to get very good gear. Such as the gear labled as Prepatch gear nowday
[Mesanna]: Well first part we can look into something for halloween for sure
[Sauron]: taht would be cool
[Sauron]: also there are so many mobs in the game that would be cool for the event
[Mesanna]: sure monsters and fat loot
[Sauron]: letherwolves look like werewolves
[Mesanna]: check
[Sauron]: werewolf invastion
[Sauron]: tuskis too
[Mesanna]: Anything else?
[Sauron]: Thank you for your time, and may the UO Gods bless you
[Mesanna]: thank you

[Kyronix]: Thanks everyone for attending and asking great questions!
[Mesanna]: We got a few nice suggestions so thank you for that

I would speculate the answer about possibly adding stuff to the Halloween Dungeon means that NL will not be up and running in October.

to summarize?

#1 answer - no.
#2 answer - will look at that (even for problems reported long ago, like non repairable items).
#3 good evening.

btw, EC you can already export all info on vendors.

Yes, you can open the paperdoll and look at the item count in the backpack...

BUT it would be nice to be able to have that either in the vendor context menu or a mouse over of the vendor itself so you don't have to open the paperdoll and mouse over the backpack.

To those who aren't aware of the item properties display, it's located here:

The sarcasm really isn't necessary, a simple explanation is all that is needed, some people might not realize how that works.

I just taught someone recently that you can turn off the flapping animation so that gargoyles aren't so annoying, and this person has been playing for YEARS.

Not everyone knows everything so a little kindness and compassion would be nice.

I thought Meowdy was spot on... especially about the desecration of memorials in UO... I know several who share the sentiment. As for the Mesanna-owned properties... well... there are quite a few that I know of. The interaction was certainly interesting.

That was a very small group attending. Great that the Dev's showed up an interacted. The day and time certainly was not set to engage the largest available base of players.

I forgot all about the M&G (to be honest I don't really log on much at night anyway though).

I'm really very surprised at the lack of questions on anything related to NL and lack of any questions on the upcoming events/vet rewards. I guess maybe others also forgot or figured similar canned responses would be given. A huge question that I have is whether or not we are actually getting a Treasures of event for the spring. Just because we have a vendor doesn't mean there will be a treasures event.

How many folks have tried the random spawn from the Deceit brazier? Anything from a slime to a dragon might spawn if you activate it. can get interesting. I just got a daemon.

That didn't work for me. Either there's a bug somewhere, or the item count display is dependent on something else too.
You have to set it to *single click* then open the paperdoll and single click the backpack.

Yes, that works.
It's puzzling, though, that mouseover doesn't.
I should mention that this was in the wish list, don't remember whether 2019 or 2020. Oops, I'm not allowed to mention the wish lists.

LOL yes it's rather cumbersome which is why I think it would be a nice idea to have the item count either show in the vendor context menu or an easy mouse over of the actual vendor, not sure how that would work.

Just what I was going to say. If you play on Siege at all you'd know...I play there sporadically and even I know!

See, you would know if you were a Siege veteran... ;)
I joined Siege on day one as RacerX, played for about 6 months and went back to LS. Stayed LS til around 2002-03 when I and many other from the Ianstorm website created I^A. At that time I played as Ru'ura'Pente, Toejam, and a few others. After a couple years I joined Waka and played as Blazin Wakayama, Shokka Wakayama, and one other I cant recall. Played with Waka about 2-3 years until maybe 08-09(?) and quit with the rest of them. Recently returned with Waka, in 2021, had a falling out, and joined Hi-5 as Roo across *all* characters. Still never heard of you, sorry. Just not as popular as you think you are I guess. Who tf are you again?

You are aware that a forum name is not ALWAYS the same as an in-game name?

Why are you so rude?

I have 7 character slots on all shards except 2....not every one of my characters is named Larisa.

So think about it...is Tjalle her in game name or just her forum name?? Hmmm...food for thought.


Just gonna put this here.... ;)

I refer you back to my original (dodged) question then. Full circle.

Check my edit above ;)
...whoopie?

IDK why you think my status as a Siege vet relies on knowing who some no-name is, but I can honestly tell you I've seen the name Xyience on Siege (2 days ago) alot more than I have Brutus (never) That pic is 2014 where is Brutus now?

Like I said @Tjalle maybe you're more renowned amongst your own people, but I dont know you, and your opinion doesnt weigh more than anyone else's, regardless of game time. Look at Larisa, she admittedly almost never plays Siege but here she is because apparently you need a cheerleader. Keep it in mind.
