Video HOC Questions list

[Fayled Dhreams]

No poll needed
In no particular order

The only one that matters. Are they dropping everything else and drastically revamping the graphics in the EC?

...

1. A mention of high resolution artwork was made in the (short) video, is there any update on that or plans we can be made aware of?

2. Can the graphic for Hatchet be changed? They use the same one as Battle Axes.

3. What about long standing bugs in the EC, do we have an update on some of those? Examples: "You cannot pick that up" when moving items; During melee combat, the character tends to "jump" a tile randomly and occasionally. This is not a lack of client-server synch as the mobs involved also move when this happens to accomodate.

Any changes to old dungeons to revitalize them and give them purpose?

Spring cleaning.....

Any idea on what we can turn in.
Can we turn in the current piece sets from black rock golems for the pieces we want (gargoyle for human)
Any idea on point values....similar to 2008?
When can we expect it

1. Can we finally get a fix for party status bars in CC?
2. Can we work on getting towns populated again? Give incentives?
3. Dungeons too
4. Give a Rare Collector title based on...something or another? Lol
5. Reconsider Classic Shard

A person who has never played uo comes across uogamecodes, and they want to play how are they going to purchase Stygian Abyss New Account Code? when they need a valid user name and password.

Can we please have rideable gorillas with banana cannons strapped onto their heads?

1. Can we have the gargoyle robe (paperdoll) artwork finished on EC? (actually is colored shape put in front of the character, looks like made in Paint )
2. Can we have the "PlaySound" function to the UI code/script commands? (this could have lot of uses on custom UI)

Are Luck Blades/Adventure's Machette ever going to be fixed? Currently, when you craft one of these items (they have an innate +20 luck bonus) and roll the luck property, the innate +20 luck is dropped. I've sent in a couple of bug reports on this.

1.) Will the spring cleaning reward creation keep in mind we can make most thing better than the last via imbuing and not give the same rewards they did the last time?

2.) Will there be EC only content to draw those of us who won't switch without incentive to the EC?

3.) Knowing the conditions on the ground in felucca on most shards will the rebuilding of Magincia take into account both facets? That is if "evil" decides not to rebuild in fel and they do in tram will the result be different or will it be shared?

4.) Will vet players have access to the new player area to help players along or will the new player have to leave that area first?

5.) Woodchucks. How much?

Here's my one question (in two parts):

Has there been any thought to offering UO as a Free-To-Play game, and if so, what if anything has been decided?

My question will naturally be about Siege. And now that the classic shard idea is scraped, will that mean they will never devote time/resoucres to Siege Perilous?

I hope to ask the question but I know it probably won't be chosen. Just a hunch

A couple questions

Are factions still being looked at?

Can we have a faction point wipe as points are all messed up with some shards in the billions?

Last but not least! Mesanna I'm still waiting for the Bod Cloth Reward Pink Sandals! (Reward c

What do you guys plan on doing on Siege, stop telling us people are just stealthing because they are not it's dead.. do something about it. Allow housing or start allowing npc vendors to buy and sell stuff or something, anything, you have been ignoring for so long, I bet Siege won't even come up on this chat thing.

Limit it 7x7 maybe? Otherwise people would just put down a big foundation and have something automated refresh it in hopes of selling it.

I'd love to be allocated a specific amount of plot tiles and you could place them how you wanted.

It really stinks to have to completely abandon one server to play on another.

What is being done about the renowned creatures spawning in inaccessible locations IE flying creatures that get stuck, rats that spawn where they cannot be attacked, devourer that spawns in lava, goblins that spawn in the water, Navery that spawns in the water etc.. There is alot of times creatures spawn and cannot be killed, and paging a Game master sends a reply in the corner orange button message stating that items cannot be replaced, instead of simply moving the creatures, or *gasp* make these particular spots non spawn points, curious about certain spots? Visit some of the listed ones at server down roughly and see for yourself the spawn that builds up that is inaccessible.



*edited part* not sure what language fahyled speaks or why they refer to a quataloo, as it is a troll in my eyes, the psycho babble that particular poster spouts about other things that do not refer to a specific topic and the use of the smiles/broccoli. this person needs to get professional help and should NOT be starting threads for questions asking or directed to the development team, had i went with my instinct and put them on block i would not have seen this thread and possibly would have received a warning for opening a new thread

1) When will UO Stygian Abyss be complete in terms of unreleased land masses (the 1/4th chunk of ter mur overworld that is inaccessible) as well as unused ingredients/possible quest items such as the vile tentacles, slith's eye and lodestones.

2) Will more commodities and items be added to pirate and merchant ships and will we see different difficulties of ships and crews?

3) Will Scalis' item drop rate be improved and will there be a way to convert a fabled fishing net so that you have an option to summon Scalis or Leviathan?

 

[Sir Mastermind]

I think you missed the one about Factions and Arena pvp.


Will we be seeing more changes to Factions?

Are we going to see Arena pvp?

 

[Neutron Bomb]

Bump

 

[Trebr Drab]

1) Related to the FTP question, will the new newbie lands be FTP to draw people in for a test drive? (It would be a perfect place for FTP)

2) A vanity question. In the EC, can we get our shirts (under our tunics) to show when wearing bone arms?

3) The question we all want to know. When will Trebr Drab be finally handed the crown and throne to rule them all?

How many "Video HOC Questions" lists are going?

Devs, I hope you locate all of the threads, because all of the questions aren't in this one. You probably noticed, but just in case...

BlissMarie

 

[Vlaude]

Devs already said what they will discuss.

From what I have seen, the devs always take questions from the players during HoC meetings. I suspect they will this time, too.

We are working behind the scenes to compile all the questions into one spot from this thread and others!

 

[Slickjack]

WILL the small soulforge ever be able to be placed on the Brit Ship?

Good deal. =) Thanks Storm.

[Viquire]

When for the love of British's beard will we have crimson dyes for our armor and thongs for our Avatars!?!

 

[Zosimus]

Four questions...

1) Is UO games code store going to be more and fairly reasonable from now on?

2) Will there be improvements on the UO game code store for future decorations items that can be updated more and changed frequently?

3) Are there plans to change the amount of gold looted on monsters to be lower then the current amounts so we can get a better in game economy?

4) Are there any plans in the future to add new currency to the game?

 

[Woodsman]

They should drop the price on HS and SA both. I have ran into plenty of people who don't have either because of the pricing. Some of the items also feel too expensive.

 

[MalagAste]

Just one question:

You gave us the ability now to be co-owned to up to 10 homes. However each home can only have 10 co-owners making this change good but not very useful. Will you please make a change so we can have as many co-owners as we can Friends? 70 or so would be good.

 

[Wojoe]

You made it seem like vet player's are the problem with UO...care to explain?

 

[Storm]

We are about to start people!

 

[Woodsman]

We are about to start people!

Oh hey they talked a little about the art.

 

[Woodsman]

Lucitus, I missed your question about weather, can you repeat it in the live chat?

 

[Vlaude]

Well done. Got my two questions answered though not what I was hoping for.

Factions? No plans.

Arenas? Moving forward, slowly.

I know I had a list of about 50 questions from the threads here and I believe I got them all in adding one of my own toward the end ! We tried to not duplicate questions and so tried to sort them as best we could ! there were still a couple that you heard them say "wasn't that asked already"

I know I had a list of about 50 questions from the threads here and I believe I got them all in adding one of my own toward the end ! We tried to not duplicate questions and so tried to sort them as best we could ! there were still a couple that you heard them say "wasn't that asked already"

I hope you have in that list :

1) - Now that the Classic shard is no longer viable, can players at least get Siege/Muegen to new life allowing accounts to place a second House on them ? Having a house on a production shard and thus not being able to place on Siege/Muege is a strongly deterring factor for many to play on those shards;

2) - Can we get a serious revamp, like a focused publish, on optimizing storage in UO ? That is, finally make as stackable all items that "could" be made such but are currently not (like for example MiBs, Focus Sashes and Focus Crystals from the current bane Invasion Event, as well as many other items which I could name here just as well...), and also introduce new containers (I'd prefer to see them introduced as new craftables) of the like of Bulk Order Deeds capable of storing up to 500 Treasure maps, Bank Checks, Jewellery (cases), Armor and Weapons (Armoires) and so forth;

3) - market Vendors' themed areas in all Towns to attract players into towns and thus bring them again to life. Themed, as like Market Vendors in Trinsic only able to sell weapons and armor, Market vendors in Moonglow only capable of selling spellcasting related items etc. etc. So that players will have to visit all towns, not just one, to find what they need;

4) - Soulstones purchaseable as codes but for stats (intelligence, dexterity, strength). A new source of revenue for UO and a handy addition for those who like swapping skills on characters and often need to rework stats accordingly (while a Mage needs lot of int a warrior needs lot of strength/dex.....).

5) - An account "search tool" that can be purchased as a code or given as a Veteran Reward (14 years vets can claim but all can use ?). Such a tool will allow to find within am entire account, any given item indicating on which character's possession it is, whether in the bank box, backpack or within a blue beetle being rode, or whether it is in any given secure in the House or locked down.

6) - How about a one time kind "freebie" per account/per shard (trial accounts cannot apply) of a Transfer token (1 token per shard/per account) to allow players, even those with less means, to transfer at least 1 character of that shard to another shard of their preference without the worries of the costs involved ? Given a limited free offer of just 1 token per account/per shard, I do not think it would be a big deal, really, and might really help lots of players wanting to transfer to another shard but being deterred by the cost of the transfer.

thanks.
