New Legacy Beta Test Weekend #2 thoughts

yeah. i cant post on official. i get some login barriers and im not interested enough to jump hoops. maybe later.

here are some of my NL thoughts ~

overall extremely enjoyable.

i went a little too full steam ahead the first weekend.
i tried to resist rushing the 2nd weekend.

i loved seeing magincia again.
i loved being out of control and redlined on the first part of mage quest.
i had wicked fun with - delucia incubator brigands, moonglow building burning, bucs den boss fight.

Serpents Hold - cat lady neighbor. LOL!!!!!!!!!!
i cant find my screenshots/video. ill keep looking.
im with lindaelives - more weirdness please.

i like the idea of the resource pack.
im not sure i like the idea of being able to carry around enough supplies to make 1000 of each craft-able.
i didnt like skinning a corpse and not being able to gather some meat for pet feeding.

not sure i like some of the locations being introduced differently than how they manifest on the prod shards.
i forgot how to get to delucia. T2A passage north of minoc didnt work (for me). i did see a corpse of pawain there. :)

glad i used inscription during the mage quest lines to scribe my books to 57 scrolls before i undertook taming and it reset inscription to 0.
:( wah.

balance passes. things progressing too fast. folks having runebooks, houses, vendors practically on day2 seems like too much too fast.

wheres the virtues?

boats please.
i did like the yacht club travel options.
i think when i first started in '97 boats may not have been immediately active but came online soon after. idrc.
i do remember boats being integral to my early playing. im looking forward to open water sailing possibilities down the line.

---

i think i have these right -
i used itemid but the statreveal never 'stuck' and for each piece i had to constantly re-id cause it didnt keep being shown and i couldnt remember.

Guarding - DCI 6

Accurate - HCI 3
Surpassingly - HCI 6

Ruin - DI20
Might - DI35

---

i hope the encryption keeps changing so that theres more opportunity to identify, inhibit and action unauthorized clients.
just wish it was done more unannounced and unexpectedly to catch/deter those who havent, yet, been swept up.


peanut gallery perception -
when i told my wife, and daughter, that i had some exciting news, they both could see the twinkle in my eye and knew it was UO related.
neither play uo. they both guessed the newest thingy was "a new cu sidhe". LOL. hmmmm. not sure what i expected, but that was their perception.

looking forward to an opportunity to try some more beta and the eventual rollout.
thank you to my fellow players for making my UO experience so enjoyable!

delucia incubator brigands
I loved the death by Chicken Lizards. (from Taming quest in Del) I was , Oh **** how am I gonna fight all these with an Ostard.

Did we do a few quests together? I read the name as Frogsbane tho lol. I was on Allen the Troll.

Guarding - DCI 6
I think that is shield only. Armor just has higher resists.

Thanks Petra.

That's how I got there. Was in the quest instructions. I did not see an entry below Trinsic Passage.

@Petra Fyde are you sure there is a hole there? Its called Brigand Camp in NL.

in main it's passage to delucia - in NL it's Trinsic passage, sorry I don't currently have access to NL map

The map wasn't intended to show the way to Delucia, sorry, I guess I read it wrong, my bad. Del you get to through Magincia, as stated. Several people asked me where Trinsic passage was.

Its though a trap door in Magincia now. Same path when you go in and you end up in Magincia when you exit.. You can not exit the city because it is barricaded. Painted caves is in the same spot, Lurg is in there but Grobu is not, he is somewhere else.

Shame entry is a large hole in Trinsic passage. There are some deserters there and maybe a sorceress.

We do not know if these places shame and Delucia, will be in NL. They may have used the graphics because it was already there. Notice Cah is not making guides, we do not know what parts of the maps will be replaced by new graphics.
They only need the mechanics tested.

But we know that NL can take us to other areas to have fun.

Agreed, I only really wanted to show people who didn't know where to find Trinsic passage, as many seem to not know it by that name and it is a destination on many quests.

There won't be any guides on the wiki either until we know what's staying and what these tests will lead to being changed.
