[UO Herald] Origin Server Downtime - Publish 63.0.0 Release

[altarego]

I have done a small amount of Imbuing this morning. It appears to be functional with no glitches. after training it on 4 bracelets, I was able to go from 97.6 to 98.1, so the gains seem to be better. I haven't unraveled anything yet but I was having an issue with my thief so i didn't try long. as to the thief problem when i logged her in to get the Christmas ticket, she was still in llama form but running very slowly. so i tried to change forms and got the message you cant cast that in this form. i tried to cast other spells and could (recall, flamestrike any magery spell) but coundn't change forms. Had to kill her to change forms. (actually considered leaving her like this lol)

*edit ok logging in to my thief again I am in human form but it still says "you cant use that ability in this form" while i am trying to change into a lllama or any other form i cannot cast polymorph either (it is the only magery spell i cant cast so far)

*Jumps up and down waving arms frantically at Devs*

I was in vent yesterday with an alliance mate who got himself stuck in lich form as well and had similar issues. He was in lich form as the shard went down for maintenance and when we came back up he was still in form, could change into other forms but his *base* form appeared to be lich. Casting lich form had no effect.

I think it'd be hilarious if the devs told us the 'fix' was to put a costume in your hand and commit suicide.

It would certainly generate free entertainment.

 

[altarego]

Is anyone compiling pictures of the new costumes? It'd be nice to see if it's worth turning in that extra wyrm costume I have towards say, an ethereal warrior...

Well I tested the tickets and turn ins, my imbuer on Origin is a joke, so I can't be of any help there. Maybe Eyes or Yen could tell us a bit more about those things, and I do get the impression we got other stuff that hasn't been talked about. In downloading the patch on the EC the patcher spent several minutes uploading files to facet one and zero and briefly to facet 2, then proceeded to spend quite a bit of additional time on strings. *shrugs*

Can anybody think of anything else?

Leashing of the renowned monsters in the Abyss. Is that fixed? I have very little time to play today but it's one of the things I'd like to check on if possible.

I have to step away for a bit but I will try to do this later.

When will the rest of the shards get this?
Sorry to ask but I cant find it posted.

Unfortunately, a definite time hasn't been posted. Possibly later this afternoon, or even tomorrow...

Sorry Tina I was unsuccessful in testing luring mini bosses.

I found one up in the cavern of the discarded, but the folks who spawned it seemed less than enthusiastic about allowing me to make tests. *snickers*

So, maybe I can check again later.

I went to the cavern of discard and the rat bosses there were on very short leashes. Distance also seems to be related to whether you are fighting them or not. I noticed if the archer boss spawns at the very east end of his area, he will bounce back before you get to the west end of his area. I could get two bosses at a time on the same bridge, but after a short time one or both would bounce back to their spawn point.
