Suggestions for vet rewards and anniversary gifts

[flappy6]

how about making a weapon that you can have in your hand(s) when stealing,or maybe just let you steal if its balanced or one handed weapon.....

 

[flappy6]

purple llamma that you can ride(4 or 5th year maybe)

 

[flappy6]

an apron that is worn raises your poison one level higher

 

[Smoot]

14th year - ethy mongbat.

yes... same size as regular mongbat, maybe a small saddle tho

 

[movebrightly]

I'd like to have a REVERSE Box that I could send stuff FROM my bank to my house.

that.

 

[Jirel of Joiry]

How about some items so you could have a realistic player run castle seige expirence:

Catapult that uses those damned doom rocks for ammo you could fire on people attacking your castle/keep!

Trebuchet same ammo as Catapult and same use.

Kettle of Boiling Oil- you can tip it over and instant fry some people outside your castle/keep.

Make the current vet Cannons actually damage people and let you aim em!

War Elephants with howdahs that would hold ten people and would require a 120 tamer as a driver (Mahout).


That's all I can think of right now...I'm sure I can come up with more later.

 

[Radugast]

My suggestion is to stop offering the current out-dated Vet cloaks and Robes and let them float around as they are... Bring in new clothing that would be more in line with Conjurers Garb and Rangers Cloak. Give them colors that are more rare and new, not the old dull colors. Give the clothing pieces good names, perhaps relating to the champions and bosses of the realm. Such as a Navrey Hide Cloak.. maybe not that but you get the idea... I love that spider!

Add different clothing articles with stats while maintaining the typical equip slots of the boots, sash, and half apron. Ideas would be sandals, Obi, Waraji & Tabi, Jin-Baori, ect..

This would be a great addition to the game and useful for most people that fight either PvM or PvP or just want to bank sit their lives away in style.

Agreed, they are pretty outdated now.

 

[DevilsOwn]

tack I can craft for my ponies

 

[MalagAste]

I was asked to add another suggestion.

Reward idea for vets..... A surcoat with an ankh....

and a Surcoat with a Snake....

I'm thinking one with the Chaos symbol would be nice too....

Something Elvish and something Gargish...

Make them an alternate to the Robes with the 3% physical bonus or even better give them something new like... 5% DCI or something.

 

[BluDjinn]

1. A set of unsinkable crab traps that catch ONLY named crabs.

2. I like the house cat / pet idea.

3. Rune books with more pages / charges.

4. Book to store 50 or so opened SOS / treasure maps.

5. A way to fully acsess my bank box from my house.
Hummm....maybe this should be number one.

6. A way to Bless my super fishing rod so it will not break and go poof.

 

[NuSair]

1. Form fitting female robes.
2. House Moongate (we pretty much already have that with the crystal portal)
3. +5/10 to the total stat cap
4. 160 individual stat cap
5. Silver Steed
6. Crystal Ball of Luck to let us know when luck works and what it effected
7. A Rune Book/Spell Book that is Black with the UO symbol on it
8. A Statue that can become a pet
9. Portraits of famous Ultima Characters

 

[Charin]

Remember the ferrets.. they were supposed to be a house pet.. you could leave.. then they changed their mind.. and are uselss and take up stable slots only.

 

[Goodmann]

2 Tone cloth Dye tub

 

[Exxon]

1. Bright colored runebook dye tub. (Runebook library nut )

2. Two tone cloth dye tub.

3. A bank chest of sending. (Connect the House chest of sending to it.)

4. A Treasure Map book

5. A S.O.S. Book

 

[flappy6]

how about white horse(like old unicorn)white stallion horse statue?like polar bear

 

[whiterabbit]

A wagon pulled by goblins that you can whip

Dis is unaccetable. Wees no slabes, wees free goblins. yooos wants a war wees kins gibe it to yoos.

OZOG
Pitmuck

 

[smip]

muti-page runebooks

EXCELENT idea here. Multi-page runebooks would be soooo nice. Would have more room in my bags. I can't complain too much though. I remember the days when we didn't have them.. or when we did, they were not blessed.. LOL

 

[Gorbs]

Rideable gorillas with banana cannons strapped to their heads.

...

Carnivorous Plant trashcan. "Feed me more" etc

...

A working catapult that fires frightened orcs.

I think these are the best suggestions in the thread.

As a 14th Year Veteran Reward I'd like to see :
2)
Another 14th Year Veteran Reward I would like to see, is a 0 followers' slots ethereal mount. Not unbalancing since ethereal mounts cannot fight and yet handy to have.

I don't how you can see this as not unbalancing? Effectively eliminates the Gargoyle class [and it's essentially one good racial - Flight] and allows you to use Rising Colossus, Greater Drags, 2/3 Pet Combos without walking or being a goofy gargoyle. Humans & Elves have so much better racials with JoAT and +20 Mana respectively, that the 'on foot' balances it out. Say nothing of the inability of Gargs to use a majority of the pre-existing artifacts.

I see this as completely unbalancing in a "can have/have not" sort of way and something that if offered as a 14 year vet reward at the very least should be offered on uogamecodes for those not old enough to be able to use.

 

[KoolAidAddict]

snip....and something that if offered as a 14 year vet reward at the very least should be offered on uogamecodes for those not old enough to be able to use.

Sorta defeats the 14 yr vet "reward" purpose, no?
But ok, if its offered on uogamecodes, then my 2 cents say its offered for a price commensurate with the cost of a 14 yr vet account.....roughly what....$1500 ?
Thats balanced....no?

 

[MalagAste]

Now that is something I'd like as either a vet reward or an anniversary reward.....

Personal Bless Deed. We got them once many, many years ago.... a FEW of my characters still have one... most never got one... one has one... but can't use it since her name was changed.

I love the carnivorous plant trash can Idea! What fun!

Also love the two tone cloth dye tub idea too.... but I still would prefer a two tone leather dye tub as well and I'd like some two tone DARK colored metal dye tub!

I would like a black runebook... Maybe with multiple pages!

I'd like a dark permanent boat paint tub. With some dark greens, Blues, Reds and black/grays.

I'd love a Silver Steed!

I would like black horses too....

I'd like to get some new portraits as well ....... I think the idea of famous person portraits is cool..... Dupree, Blackthorn, Mondain, Lord British, Queen Dawn, Queen Zhah..... Gweno, etc.....

House tele tiles were already done this way.

Vet rewards are not meant to give unfair advantages to vet players. A 5/10/15/20 point skill advantage is not going to make/break a template or character. Neither is all the other vet rewards, but... allowing a character a free 100 points [ala no ninjitsu] or not having to take a gimped race [Gargs] to allow mount speed and 5 slotters isn't going to make anyone short of the 14 years happy and going to **** off the rest of the playerbase. I highly doubt there are more 14 years than younger accounts.

And I love those tears, so tasty.

Just so, you know, we stay with the facts here.
House teles were NOT done this way.
The vet rewards do NOT have charges.
And obviously your "gimped" comment is your justification for having what was discussed, which was a TAMER who can fly at runnning speed as a garg vs walking speed as a human or an elf, which BTW since were on that subject, PER YOUR COMMENTS, the 20 points complained about as the racial mod is NOT going to make/break a character (your words), so back to the original intent, which was someone suggesting the slot be done away with for a vet reward.
PS....just so you know....I didnt say I liked it...I said sell it as an equal to the vet reward.....14 years worth....you just seemed to need someone to spat BS too.
Ok, you did that. Bully for you.
Now... the tears comment......hehe......fail junior.

 

[Mandrake of DF]

k so in the Q&A they said they're looking for suggestions so lets give them some!



I'll go first
I want a house pet. It's been asked for before and we got crummy parrots
I want a house cat I can name Mr.Mittens that wouldnt need to be tame and wouldn't leave my property. Or maywe we could have a Item that we could use to bond an animal to it that we then lock down onto our property where the animal will be attached to, not a large animal liek a dragon though, mayeb just small ones .. birds, rats, cats, dogs, horses , cows, bulls ( for ppl that want their hoem to be a stable or farm) 1 animal per stone and the stone would need to be soemthing not big and bulky sicne soem ppl may want to have several and don't need it being an eyesore.

I vote for this one too!

But, what i'm looking at is that it will be any low tamable animals or squirrel that is tamed. You will have a deed that turns it yellow, so it cannot be attacked. But you can tell it to follow u inside house or stay, or just walk around where it can pathfind.

The animals im looking at is the natural house pets, like dog, cat, rat, bird, squirrel or ferret. But also cow, goat, sheep, bull and horse - for thoose who will turn their house to a farm.

Once its turned to a house pet, you cannot undo that. But you can, like char maker statue - unlink it, and pet is gone. Or just deed it, and place it back.

 

[Miri of Sonoma]

how about white horse(like old unicorn)white stallion horse statue?like polar bear

I like this idea. I trained a tamer years ago just to get one of the old style unicorns (they were so pretty!) and then they changed it *frowns*

 

[KoolAidAddict]

I vote for this one too!

Perhaps the vet reward would be some sort of "leash" that you can put around the pet to keep it in the confines of the house, or possibly just that floor of the house.

I wouldn't let you look after a mongbat. When your silly dragon killed me , a guildmate, in the Trinsic invasion of 2000 you laughed and did bugger all as I was looted dry. I say no Mr. Mittens for you.

 

[Moonstar]

I have a suggestion, though this came to me at Halloween, and would (I guess) be most useful for Trick-or Treating...
I would like to see a vendor-like person who would stand at your doorstep (or in your house) and would distribute one item randomly from his pack to anyone saying "trick-or-treat" (or "Gee what a nice house" or "GOD, I need a drink!" or whatever). We could then load him with candy and goodies, and one or two nice things. It would need to limit by either character or account so someone could not just come up and take it all (just one now...leave some for the other little ghosts and witches), and be refillable and somewhat mod-able by the owner. This could help in letting us create a player-driven experience at Halloween, along with some of the recent fun game-driven events.

I like this idea

 

[Percivalgoh]

How about an imbuing ingredient chest. When secured in house every day it will give you random imbuing ingredients.

 

[olduofan]

How about an imbuing ingredient chest. When secured in house every day it will give you random imbuing ingredients.

I like this also what about a ingredients chest that only counts as 1 lock down instead of im guessing 300? including all peerless from SE the older stuff like regs and mining wood leather cloth etc.

The amount of resources we have to have to make things is getting insane...ha

 

[Miss Smoocher]

How about a wagon to hook up to your horse or a pet. Maybe a chicken or what ever pet you bond or tame. To use on the roads again? You cant recall with them only drive it around like a beetle. Also how about some Victorian furniture sets. Even a broom to fly around on would be cool.

 

[Schuyler Bain]

Remember the ferrets.. they were supposed to be a house pet.. you could leave.. then they changed their mind.. and are uselss and take up stable slots only.

Aye - I have a few in my stables as well. Tis a shame not to be able to use them for anything.

 

[Beastmaster]

The ultimate 14 year vet reward which shows EA's appreciation...

...a special symbol attached to any GM page letting them know they have 5 minutes to respond.

 

[Wizal the Fox]

Something I would really like would be an a special bookcase where you can put the special books (Collector Editions, Limited Editions, First Editions) without eating over 100 lockdowns. A bit like the BOD books

 

[flappy6]

thought of another good one....

how about a crystal or shrine of some sort and you can summon a champ boss at your house,you get random champ boss(harry,rikki,coon,may ish champs,maybe dark father,harbringer,or turkey) but could only get scrolls if your in fel and maybe higher chance for artifact, and for sure only like 1charge per month and be a high vet reward

 

[flappy6]

maybe some kind of dirt patch or pot that spawns a rare seed once a week or month to get a rare tree or some new plant (maybe dyeable)(or has resource)

 

[flappy6]

how about a blessed item that can go in your backpack that give you 30% lower reg but is non-faction(would be cursed if your faction)

 

[flappy6]

how about an item that goes in your pack that you can double click and you can turn someones pet to stone for 10 mins but you have to be on foot only works once a day? or every hour

 

[flappy6]

i hope a dev looks at this page because i have put alot here plus i have more ,i have an idea for some new 120 scrolls but id rather them be stuck to fel champ spawn to keep that worth fighting for........
120 cooking- make food items that turn you into a animal or monster,only last 5-10 mins,can be knocked out of form(dismount or bola),maybe only once a day,maybe each form gives some kind of bonus

120 poison -higher poison dah! and at 120 cant be lesser poisoned

120 inscribe-more spell damage,more casting focus,

120 carpentry-craft new house stuff.....animated fire place,new small boat,new house deed design for keep or castle

we need balanced axes! recipe,reg crafted,artifact somehow should get that in or just any 2 handed melee weapon

 

[flappy6]

oh ya bring back choas/ order but cant be in faction and make stuff they can wear or use maybe like that lower reg 30% item i spoke of,or a surcoat that has like 3 charges that defend you from dismount or bola

 

[flappy6]

forgot
120 inscribe you could maybe add new spells that only 120 scribe can make or recipes for new weapons

 

[flappy6]

how about a token that lets you get 1 artifact that you been trying to get for the last 10 years,like it would bring up a list ,you pick one and thats it,maybe add rare stuff that dont spawn like the 140 luck garb or those sandles they deleted from dupe

 

[flappy6]

oh and with that choas /order thing you could add an armored horse so you dont have to ride around on those ugly swamp dragons

 

[flappy6]

i also think they should add stat scrolls for pets to the harry to make him alittle more interesting to fight for(i notice not many as interested in raiding harrys)make it like 50 hitpoint stat scroll,or 25 dex,nothing to crazy that would make a gdragon over powered but enough to help the smaller pets be more usefull,or even skill scrolls for pets,so i could put 120 resist on my pet imp lol

 

[Eyes of Origin]

Ok dont know if this is on the list anywhere and I'm sure they already have it planned, but for the mount this year or hell even next year, would to be to have an ethy drake/dragon mount << would be awesome, just saying.

 

[flappy6]

what happened ?

 

[flappy6]

no more suggestions?

 

[ECO Director]

I've been playing since day dot with one of my accounts and they deserve a castle or larger house they they can customize.

 

[Aerodice]

I would like to suggest a runic crystal portal. Following the crystal portal tradition, this portal would teleport you to a location by saying the name of the location but would act similar to a runebook:

- Mark runes to your most popular/favorite locations
- Name the runes and place on the crystal portal
- Crystal portal holds the same number of runes as a runebook

Then when locked down in a house, when you say the name that's on the rune, you get teleported to its location. For example, if you wrote down "Guild House" you could teleport to the location of your guild house from a marked rune.

I would also like to see a rune marking tool. Numerous classes can recall now but only a mage can mark recall spots. Introduce a tool that allows you to mark runes and holds a set of charges. The tool would be rechargeable at an NPC scribe and use brilliant ambers.
