The custom UI's are easily fixed from what I am hearing. I'll have my Legacy II skin updated in a couple hours, as I am still stuck at work. Patches borking up custom UI's will happen even after the client is out of beta.

Wow talk about a big patch.. nice fixes just wish they included putting Elwood back in New haven on Catskills in that Pacth.. he's been missing since the halloween event and yet to be found.

 

[Maplestone]

Just a quick clarification on publish numbering terminology - is this intended to be publish 62.3 or publish 63? (just seems like a larger number of changes than normally come in a minor publish number)

Relic frags effect mostly dexers.... don't suppose you'd notice not needing them if your not a dexer.

So a "nerf" to the dexer again by "mages online"...

A friend and I went to kill Navery last night. Took a tamer with a greater drag and a necro/mage 5 minutes to kill 1 Navery!....Considering her loot I think that she has been upped just a little too much! I agree she shouldn't be super easy but we killed 5 got bored and left with our measly loot.....Why would it be necessary to make her this hard? Her loot isn't all that!

There is actually a little more in the Cliloc... About Santy's Hatz... Yes, Hats.. with a z...

Please tell me 'Santy' is a bad joke... Slang and words with a z at the end have NO business being in an RPG.

The last Santa reference was in '97/'98 with Lord Nicolas... Why are is that being tarnished with 'Santy'?

Please change this to be appropriate to UO, not South Park.

I`m sure I read somewhere in the past they were adjusting Navery`s difficulty to be more in line with peerless strengths. Along with the difficulty change they were supposed to readjust the loot as well.Maybe they are waiting to redo the loot for Nav until they are happy with the strength of that mob. No sense giving it peerless loot when it ain`t as hard as a peerless to kill.

I've been curious about this tidbit here:
Players are no longer able to destroy Skull Totems in players houses.

Are these the reward totems from the trapped puzzle hallway? I thought they were just deco, but do they actually have a use? Thanks in advance

 

[Crysta]

I have a guess what that means but i'm not going to say what that is until everyone gets the publish.. don't need people doing what i'm thinking.

UOP is the file extension used in EC... MUL is 2d, unless that's been changed.

With SA we updated the legacy animation system to handle two animation formats. The older more restricted format that is packed into mul files, and the newer EC animation format which is much more flexible and packed into uops.

All animation files pre SA expansion and any human/elf wearables use the old system.

New mobs and gargoyle assets use the uop system.

That's why you see animation files in both formats.

You need to update classic patcher to better handling UOP files.

You need to update classic patcher to better handling UOP files.

We are actually aware of this issue and are working on plans to address it in the future. For now, we've split up the large animation uop files into smaller chunks. The smaller the file, the better the classic patch can handle them.

And while you at it, make that classic patch window minimizable!
Downloading a 300MB patch and having that annoying window sitting in the middle of the desktop doing nothing for 1h kinda sucks, really...
