Yes, in this cry thread, they further polarize the Community. Their refusal to honor the majority will have them feeling justified in their relentless quest to grief all who disagreed with them. They cannot Board PVP for lack of linguistic ability and creativity, but they sure know how to press those "easy buttons" UOA provides them while wearing the Superman suits. One of them even went so far as to say that they would try to stalemate progress with the devs because they cannot convince anyone of their point of view. I guess they've been spending so much time in Trammel, that they got used to passive detect helping them out of danger, and now want to implement it on Siege too, because there is no insurance here, stealthers are too risky for them. Its pretty funny that the "elite" want this added buffer in the form of a warning shot.
Read into it how you like. I dont see it that way at all. I dont see them wanting passive detect to protect them from DS, or other suprise attacks, but rather when they go to kill someone, even if they detect, they instantly hit thier little "easy" macro to hide, if they are slow, and get attacked, and are not 8 tiles away, thats ok, let me use a different finger on my keyboard, poof a cloud of smoke fill the screen, and....they are gone again. Then they have to wait a timer out to try and reveal again.
How many times would you like to rinse and repeat sir? Most washing machines only offer a second rinse, but this is UO, and the amount of rinses is unlimited.
And just because you dont use UOA, an approved program since the early days, doesnt mean others who use it, have easy mode. So what if someone has 16 available macros to do something, that isnt easy to configure in UOmacros, or a few keys that are not possible to use. One that instantly jumps to mind is the mouse wheel. I use it, almost everyone does. if you dont, oh well, your issue. Either swap to the EC where you have more than enough power to make similar macros and have similar keys available, or go out and buy a gaming keyboard, or USB version (i have a G13 I have not used yet other then to check it out). Where you can use Function keys and apply them to keystrokes to help you out. Want to target last, but cant use the mouse wheel in 2D? Dont want to be one of those people that casts 35 spells in a sentance? Hit the old G1 key, which is mapped to cntrl+alt+shift+A. And be done with it. If you decide to play yourself at a disadvantage, thats your choice. No one is asking you to use a cheat program, or anything illegal to keep up with the "elite". But use the tools that are available to help you to better yourself.
Your UOA argument is ********. I dont care if you dont use it, but dont cry about it. Thats like complaining that anyone on these boards can get more done in a day then you, because they have new cars, that can go 150MPH, with super resistant door panels giving them ultra protection against all the elements, and evils in the world, while you doddle down the steet on a unicyle, at 2.6MPH, and you eat **** when you hit a pebble on the sidewalk because you dont have 4 wheels and suspension, then scrape your elbow, and scream out for your mother to come and put some polysporin on it, and your favorite, "I play at a disadvantage", colourful bandaid.
And board PvP sir. I havent read every post in this thread, cause well I have a life, and I work, and work a lot, but you would post one liners of complete and utter childhood style nana nana boo boo ****, and they add "dismissed" at the end of the post, like it means something. Come on. I dont see exceptional board PvP from you, so until you spend 20 minutes a day on a bowflex, and are in the best shape of your life, dont point fingers at others who are not looking like a verbal version of 8 pack abs from the movie 300.
This thread started out as a request and opinion of stealth and its OP. You and many others have turned it into a personal war between eachother, and complete and utter disregard for anything but your own opinions. Civil discussion is not available here, so whatever, continue on. And go to war, all its gonna do is get siege overlooked again, since we cant agree on anything, because we are out only for ourselves with every issue, instead of coming together, and trying to better the shard, and try and make it more appealing to come here and play with us. But I forgot this is the hard shard, where 175 skill points of 220, is enough to get it all done. Cause we are hard as **** like that!
