Question

[Vandetta]

Every time I try to use a skill it just say "You must wait a few minutes to use another skill" Thing is I haven't used anything.

I tried different computers, different clients, different facets, killing my self...

any other ideas?

I've seen this posted a few times and the end result is that you have to page a GM. Explain in detail on whats happening and they should be able to help you. If the first GM blows you off, try it again. They can fix the issue.

Thanks. Ya the first one hung around for 2 secs and then ran. I will try again.

If you are in the 2d client - check your macros.

If you have one set to the same key - you might think you are just using one skill but you could have two macros to the same key or to the space bar. This can then give you that message.

Its usually when I make a new char and it copies the starting macro's from somewhere and then I collide them with new ones I set. I have to go back and delete the unwanted ones.

This just happened too me last week,when you page for a GM put in the message "skill timer is stuck".hopefully you get a smart GM like I did.

More and more people are having this issue. I wonder if we could manage, between us, to work out what's causing it.

iv had it happen a few times , i used to just log on and off for me it was allways when using embuing skill

Try use the 'Help - Im stuck' option.

That should cancle all pending skills you have and teleport you.

It's a server side bug most likely due to many incoming packets.
UO designers are not known for great programming skills so don't hold you breath on a fix for this fix.

Seems when people have this problem they get help by using the help gump & paging a GM to fix it.

I have 1 more option for you. It has worked for me.
Using the tinker skill make a spoon or knife.
It requires zero tink skill. As I mentioned it has worked for me before.
It also has been reported that it doesn't always work.
I'm not sure what code changed this.
It used to work every time.
I believe its worth a try. GL

hehe - people used to do this on purpose to bypass the peacemaking timer

you can't do it too easily anymore - if you can figure out how you're doing it, it would be very helpful *wink* - jk - hehe
