Looks fantastic still have zero interest but I hope it's successful

 

[JohnnyO]

I'll preface this with the fact that I'm not a big fan of the current dev team nor have I been overly enthusiastic about new legacy, but this looks pretty cool, and I can't wait to try it.

 

[JohnnyO]

I guess there's been no no indication when beta will actually open?

Soon.

 

[JohnnyO]

Soon.

hopefully sooner rather than later, looking forward to it.

 

[Yadd of Legends]

Lots on comments on the Youtube video, mostly positive. Looks like a lot of people are interested. Good effort to get back to the look of the old Ultima 6. But years have passed and DOS has come and gone, and I'm not sure if I can get used to that tiny play screen now. I wonder if it will have a bigger view option?

 

[Omnicron]

Hmm. This looks like a new twist. Ill at least give it a go. Like I said, there is always something to do on UO.

 

[VariableMaria]

It reminds me of the nightmare that was Ultima X: Odyssey, which had its development halted about 20 years ago. Well, I don't personally hold any grudge against the devs, so I'm hoping this attempt will be successful. If not? I guess UO will finally be reaching its finale.

WOW, sounds pretty fatalistic : Translates -- either the NL will launch and be successful, OR it is doomsday for UO?
By the way 20 years ago some well-wishers the death of UO way back then..Did not happen, and now we are 25 years later.
NL is irrelevant to the rest of UO as a whole success etc. It will be just a novelty item, a new toy to play with

 

[Merlin]

The part I am most looking forward to are some of the obvious quality of life changes. From my limited knowledge of free shards, some of them have really done a great job with basic improvements that feel like they're miles away from OSI. Its my hopes that if some of these are successful on New Legacy, they will find a way into the main production shards. One can hope!

 

[ShriNayne]

I have to admit whoever made the video did a pretty decent job. I personally don't like to play as zoomed in as that, I like to see more around me. It was still pretty basic information and they don't seem to want to give much away even at this late stage. I agree totally with what Merlin said, it's the quality of life changes that will make or break New Legacy. I really want to see a proper UI with built-in assistance like the free shards have had for years, I'm getting too old to be doing all that clicking! I'm willing to give it a go if they actually do a good job.

I hope that happens. But the video showed multiple clicks, drag and drops, and similar things for a single item identification. I am not sure how much QoL can we expect from NL.

 

[Pawain]

They are not going to make NL to a point where we do not interact with items. They are not going to automate UO. Buy pads for your keyboard and use a game pad that puts your hands at an angle where you can click for hours if needed.

The new mechanics will get rid of some of the major clicking. Like mining and lumberjacking. But we will still have to grab and drag items and interact with loot.

 

[Anon McDougle]

So we take away things that made UO (skill gain vs quest) permanency vs seasons so it's a bad version of wow.

 

[Veldrane]

It looks neat, but it's about six months too late. This should have been part of an ongoing campaign to keep interest and communicate. The trailer answers many questions but implies a significant departure from classic UO that it leaves unaddressed. This is poor communication; a follow-up series would have cleared up any confusion.

I wish them the best, but Bonnie missed the window to revitalize the community due to poor management skills.

I'd say a good version of WoW, since it's based on UO. Just Sayin . . .
