Your Biggest UO Pet Peeves

[Serine]

Many of the above .

Gorgyles remaining in flight mode at bank/trade areas . Is it so damn hard to land
and stop flapping the wings taking up 3 character spots

 

[OxAO]

Why did they make fel look ugly?

 

[TopCatt]

Out of all the issues I have with uo, I'd say the thing that really bothers me is the fact that every expansion they add TONS of land, while making all of the other landmass totally unused... Why don't they just work with what they already have? I mean Brittania is big enough as it is, with enough spots and dungeons as it is.

Yep, because they didn't add Scrolls of Transcendence to Fel, Ilshennar, nor did they recently reintroduce the ToT even, nor did they add Replicas to every Champ spawn (Fel, Ilsh, Tok, Malas), and they don't have Anti-Virtue artifacts in the anti-virtue dungeons, and most recently, they didnt add crystalline blackrock drops off Ore Elementals, including those spawning in Shame and the Yomotsu Mines.

...and I must admit, they did add a huge new continent for ML.



Though the Lost Lands in Trammel could use a little something. Terathan and Ophidian special drops maybe?

I think he means more permanent changes like new monsters for trammel and fel and maybe a randomly spawning monster in Ilshenar that spawns every like six hours that gives something special maybe even something like a week long 500 luck buff for everyone who contributes to killing it (Non-stackable of course). To give people a reason to scour Ilshenar besides looking for the roaming gypsies for cheap gems since the towns are all broken.

Oh broken vendors whose prices don't reset.

Also I didn't know the Ore Elementals that aren't mined up gave crystalline blackrock.

 

[Martyna Zmuir]

1) Misspellings of ridiculously easy words.

2) Spammers of any kind.

3) 'Children' at EM events - Its not open mic night at Jr. High.

4) People who are too lazy talk in complete words/sentences, i.e. they talk like they are texting.

5) That suped-up faction artifacts can be used in the Trammel rule set.

6) The agonizingly poor communication abilities of EA/Mythic over the last 10 years. Lack of In Concept and In Development pages. We don't need firm dates on things, but actively talk to us.

7) The seemingly ignored 'beta' EC client - work on it or dump it, stop dangling the carrot. (Yeah I know they said it would see an update 'soon.' Will believe it when I see it, and its not full of fail.)

8) The complete BS that the scripter/speedhacker/cheating issue is being "worked on."
Sorry, they've said it for years with zero results - and thus have zero credibility.

9) How nearly every knee-jerk-reaction patch inconveniences the honest players more so then the cheaters.

10) That patches have been going out with an unacceptably high volume of bugs and KNOWN issues - even though they were "tested" on two shards. If they know there's a bug, fix it! We'll wait, and they will look all the better for it! (Note: Unbundle event and holiday content from patches that introduce other systems or bug fixes.)

11) That mages get the shaft in nearly every meta-fiction combat scenario, even when using slayer books and having high SDI.

12) Allowing there to be a PvE/PvP combat uber-template (i.e. sampire). Damage outputs should be relatively balanced across each weapons/spell 'class.' (Yes, some mobs may be slanted more towards one 'class' then another, but these should be the exception not the rule.)

 

[Nystul]

1. The endless crying & complaining from the player base.

2. All the amounts of anger, hate and ambitions to grief each other that exists everywhere you go ingame.

 

[kelmo]

Vampire bats. *nods* Hate 'em.

 

[lilbunny]

My only pet peeve is that i am the smuck that is paying for high speed internet so my kids can woop my butt in this game...its one thing to get your bum kicked by someone but let alone your kids and foot the bill to boot... sigh.... but i get to loot their bank box muahahhaah

 

[Coragin]

Came up with a few more...

1. People comaplining about faction arties in Tram. (Guess once your in a faction you should never PvM ever again)

2. Luna vendors and well, yea just mostly luna vendors. No one sells repairs anymore? Too good for that?

3. Raiders that wait until champs spawns to *cough* pvp raid. Hey heres an idea, try fighting when you first show up...

 

[Fink]

I know a guy who calls Luna "The free rune depository"

This would be in part why Luna has a strangle-hold on the market. Everyone complains about Luna but few people venture out of town to shop, and runes to those out of the way places are dumped, sold, or ignored. Gating people to your shop is considered spam by those same people.

 

[Hunters' Moon]

My Pet Peeves...

1) Elitist roleplayers that have the "my way or the highway" attitude. You know who you are. That one is more than a pet peeve. That makes my blood boil.

2)Kill-stealing tamers. For the life of me,I can not understand why a tamer must bring a g-dragon into a ettin/earth ele spawn for "training".

3) afk gollem training in luna...

4)Spamming cash-for-gold sites in the new chat.

5)There's no brewing option in the game.

6)The Dev answer for everything is "Thats a nice idea,but it's not on the radar" Get a bigger radar!!!!!

7)There are too many character slots in the game. We no longer have an mmo,it is now a console game where we are all independant and self-sustaining.

 

[hawkeye_pike]

7)There are too many character slots in the game. We no longer have an mmo,it is now a console game where we are all independant and self-sustaining.

This actually is a very good point. While I am 100% certain that the number of slots will never decrease anymore (you'd also have to abolish soulstones), I ask myself what characters I would focus on if I only had 3 slots...

 

[Hunters' Moon]

This actually is a very good point. While I am 100% certain that the number of slots will never decrease anymore (you'd also have to abolish soulstones), I ask myself what characters I would focus on if I only had 3 slots...

It is my feeling maybe even 3 slots are too much. Tamer for hunting(pvm);crafter for repairs,then the latest gimplate for pvp.

 

[Miss Smoocher]

everything poisons why does so meny things have to have that cant they come up with something else to kill you?? so lets make most things poison you.
luna drives me nuts the lag is nuts there but people stoped using brit.

 

[Konge]

It is my feeling maybe even 3 slots are too much. Tamer for hunting(pvm);crafter for repairs,then the latest gimplate for pvp.

Siege? 1 Character slot. Yay.


Pet peeves.

1. People who get annoyed over spelling errors.
- People who misspell when they get annoyed at spelling errors.
2. People who ask questions without taking the time to look it up... consistently... about the same thing...
3. Hardcore PvPer's who use the same insult line over and over again to where you're 98% sure it's a macro.
4. PvP speak. "LOL AS A MAGE CUZ I ARCHER MOVING SHOT FTW!"
5. People who over price things.
6. People who don't think before they speak.
7. Stopping on an Odd number.

 

[Crysta]

Vendor bags marked "esc," what the heck does "esc" mean anyway?

They're telling you to run before you consider buying anything from them.

 

[Coragin]

Came up with some more, although some have been mentioned.

1. People with names with alternating caps. Devs, please just do what they did in Everquest, only the first letter can be a capital and always will be. All others will be lower case.

2. This is an extension of 1, people with dumb names, yes "Lord Paris Hilton" Im talking about you! And anyone with any other stupid name that dont belong in the Ultimaverse.

3. Monsters that para you and cant hit you!! So you stand there with your thumb up your butt till it wears off.

4. Devs

5. People that plop down an 18x18 and leave it vacant for months. Or on Origin, the same guy owns half the Luna houses, no vendors, no walls, just a floor. Ugh, moron!

6. Anyone who plops down a 8x8 house right in the center of an area where you can place an 18x18, keep, tower, castle ect. *Slap*

 

[Dr Poth]

Those stupid player names like "God can't kill me" on Europa.

Also all the vendors who sell over priced JUNK.

People who moan on this board about tram/fel.

 

[mutau]

biggest pet peeve:

trammies who bank sit afk all day on expensive mounts wearing expensive suits and believe that all of UO revolves around them. lol. this drives me nuts. why pay for a game if all you do is sit there all day?

Burn off murder counts?

You can sit your character there while at work, stay logged in because endless guys run by, auto refreshing your screen for you, come home, look at your screen and "ooo wow, 1 short term count burned away while i was at work today! ".


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My biggest pet peeve:
1. People who tame all the bulls everywhere, rename them something stupid and leave them.
2. People who think that pvpers and reds are horrible and malicious people.
3. Game stalkers and those drama queens (male and female)

 

[Splup]

I don't get why people get so upset about spelling... I can understand that some words like n00b etc. can be annoying, but normal spelling mistakes... I mean c'mon, not all of us speak english as motherlanguage.

I speak finnish, swedish, english and spanish. My grammar might not always be perfect, and I also probably do spelling mistakes, but you can for sure understand what I'm saying.

What frustrates me to the most is definitly speed hack.

 

[shulginist]

My biggest uo pet peeve are people who have stupid uo pet peeves. Looks like I just put myself into my own pet peeve.

 

[Mitzlplik_SP]

I agree with ya about grammer on the interweb. Anyone who feels the need to correct ones grammer in game or on a forum needs to be directed to the closest can of STFU. Who gives a shiny rats ass how someone spells words as long as you can understand what their saying. Correcting ones spelling or grammer on the net is just stoopid,save your intelect for RL...... where peaple still don`t care. I`d like to see how a grammer/spelling cop would do in a RL setting. I`m pretty sure someone would get dragged off the couch and showed to the door.

So I`ll hafta ammend my previous reply and add this pet peeve as well.

 

[Gowron]

Here are my pet peeves (in no particular order):

1. The stealing of semi-rares from the tinker and smithy shops appear broke. (the tinker doesn't reset, and the smithy is stacked so incredibly high that I fail every time with 120 stealing)

2. Loot from higher end monsters in the anti-virtue dungeons are crap

3. Getting ganked by 5+ reds and then seeing them talk about how great they are, yet they will never fight 1v1.

4. People who take this game so seriously, that it seems that their UO in game life is more important than the real world.

5. Vendors that go unstocked for multiple weeks at a time.

6. Luna. I just hate that town, and miss the good days when banks in every town had folks there.

7. People who complain about spelling and grammatical errors and, during the complaint, make even more errors.

8. The 90 day rule on house decay allowing someone to only pay 1 month fee to maintain a house for 3 months. I say let that house fall a week after the account has expired.

9. With all the water space in Sosaria, that nothing has been added to the maritime arena since at least 5 years ago.

10. Crappy customer service, removal of 5 on Friday, and inept GM's who very rarely respond in game.

 

[hawkeye_pike]

I forgot:

Players who hijack every thread to advertise Siege Perilous.

 

[Coppelia]

Biggest pet peeve:
Highest subscription fee of the market + expansion you must buy + cash shop.

The more they add to cash shop, the more it's tempting to play a free shard where all these things are obtainable ingame.

 

[Kratos Aurion]

Finding an IDOC in the middle of no where, camping it out, and then right at the last moment before it falls, 3 guilds recall in.

 

[Cruxshadow]

I forgot:

Players who hijack every thread to advertise Siege Perilous.

Come to Siege! You'll understay why!

lol

 

[Restroom Cowboy]

*listening to people beg for new stuff soon after an expansion...ugh.

*people being more concerned with eye candy than in game issues...

*people posting a new thread after getting pwned for no legit reason...

to name a few...

 

[Black Sun]

The damn streaky RNG!
When I'm training fishing I pull serpents left and right, yet when I'm out fishing hoping to pull a few they don't come up.

 

[Tek]

It seems most complaints are about other players.

 

[KalVasTENKI]

The list would be endless but I'll give a few minimal "Pet Peeves"

1. Aggro timer between character log outs.
(Example- Recalling to your house and an ogre flags on you while opening your door and you hit him.. Now you have to wait 5 minutes before logging onto another character.)

2. People who cry at EM events because they didn't get anything.

3. When you're selling an item and you say " Offer please " .. Then they say " I don't make offers " ... You then say " (x)m " , then without even trying to haggle they walk away like D-Bags they are.

4. People who agree to money duels and do not pay when they lose.

5. People who get ganked or lose a fight and post the whole story detail by detail on Stratics.

 

[Connor_Graham]

People that pick up the runes non-Luna vendor house owners drop so people can actually buy the same items for less than what is found in Luna, then give the excuse that they "annoy them sitting on the ground". If you're a neat freak UO is not the game for you with it's randomly spawning regs all over the entire game.

 

[Ally Oop]

The Gargoyle beds and cots are craftable. Gm Carpenter 75 think it is tailor and useing a malat and chissel, granet and cloth

 

[MalagAste]

Oi!........ This may be long so I'll apologize in advance. SORRY!...

Alrighty then:

1. The agro timer! Recalling home on my archer and auto shooting at some stinking monster before I can get in the house to switch characters real quick... and having to wait 5 min! Recalling home and knowing I want to swap characters really quick so I don't kill that stinking <insert annoying monster here> then having to spend the next 2 minutes listening to the stinking thing make noises ever 2 seconds... wishing I could just kill the dang thing but not wanting to wait the 5 minutes to do it.

2. People who own vendors but shouldn't be allowed to because:
a) They put stuff in bags and don't label them.
b) They dump things in bags stuffing them sooo full you can not see what the heck they are selling
c) They overprice things so much it's almost insane when 4 or 5 other vendors in the area have the same item for half the price.
d) People who sell duped items.
e) People who claim their vendor has "Uber" items... so you look... and you can get better junk from a Mongbat.
f) People who claim they have the "lowest price in all of Luna" only they really don't, infact they are next to the highest price in town.
g) People who never ever update their vendors... leaving them empty for months at a time... Or they are still peddling the same thing 10 months later at a vastly overinflated price that is now selling at 1/10th that.

3. Special Faction Arties. Factions should be made fun again and you should be made to actually really participate to get special items... but the special items shouldn't apply if your PvPing against someone who ISN'T in Factions. They shouldn't give you an UBER advantage over other players who DON'T play factions.

4. People who come to EM events only to "Get stuff" and then act like total jerks the entire time, asking 400 times "When do we get stuff? Can you give me one of those robes? I want your sword." And other similar crap thinking they are sooo smart no one else has ever thought to ask that and the EM will just give them something.... because they "asked".... thereby wasting everyone else's time, when everyone else came there just to have FUN.

5. Tamers who bring their pets to the EM events and other players who think they have to stand RIGHT ON THE EM... so no one else can see what is going on or where the EM is.

6. People who play UO as if they are playing a solo console game... NOT a MMORPG.

7. Those who are forever forgetting that UO IS a RPG.

8. The fact that the one time they gave out personal bless deeds it was so long ago most everyone no longer has theirs... and numerous bugs and crashes and things have caused many of them to be permanently lost. And the DEV's give everyone the 5 point bonus again for AoS launch... but they have never replaced the personal bless deeds.

9. Monsters can cast through walls, around corners and from 3 screens away... yet I can't cast 2 tiles away because I'm standing on a bridge (in the Underworld) and my character "Can't see" them....

10. Decorating my house to look totally awesome and then walking upstairs to realize half the deco items are poking up through my floor!

11. Having Kegs.... but not being able to brew drinks for them.

12. Going to stable my pet only to be told I "lack the funds"... and having to go back to the bank and cash a check out making a mess outta my bank box just so the stablemaster can draw 30 stinking gold out.

13. No longer being able to Co-own all my characters to all my homes because they nixed the KR client..... yet they REFUSE to give us the same abilities in the new EC.

14. No longer being able to place deco items along the edges of my homes.

15. Going out "shopping" and finding a super cool and very beautifully designed home in Tram or Malas with ZERO spawn around and wanting to see if the inside is a beautiful as the outside only to find that it's set to Private!

16. The fact that Luna has ruined all Vending anywhere else... and drawn everyone away from all the other towns that used to be popular for various reasons... forcing everyone to go there.

17. The fact that Hackers and Scammers aren't treated like the criminals they are.

 

[GalenKnighthawke]

1. Trammel

The fact that the UO team insists on keeping Felucca despite the fact that people won't go there despite many incentives, in order to cater to players whose bad behavior necessitated Trammel to start with.

-Galen's player

 

[GalenKnighthawke]

biggest pet peeve:

trammies who bank sit afk all day on expensive mounts wearing expensive suits and believe that all of UO revolves around them. lol. this drives me nuts. why pay for a game if all you do is sit there all day?

Fellies who think that not PvPing means "sitting there all day."

Fellies who go to the Luna Bank to smack talk to one another.

Fellies who smack talk in global chat.

-Galen's player

 

[Konge]

Fellies who think that not PvPing means "sitting there all day."

Fellies who go to the Luna Bank to smack talk to one another.

Fellies who smack talk in global chat.

Fellies who call people trammies in tram.
-Galen's player

I think you should just say Fellies, but that wouldn't drive home the point... I agree though. A having anonymity in a game doesn't give you the right to be an ass. I also added one!

 

[KalVasTENKI]

Fellies who think that not PvPing means "sitting there all day."

Fellies who go to the Luna Bank to smack talk to one another.

Fellies who smack talk in global chat.

-Galen's player

Friendly chat is always fun..

Drama is always lame : /

 

[Stupid Miner]

Losing higher level Arcane focuses for lower level ones when someone with less skill recasts, or someone recasts after people have left.

 

[Mitzlplik_SP]

The fact that the UO team insists on keeping Felucca despite the fact that people won't go there despite many incentives, in order to cater to players whose bad behavior necessitated Trammel to start with.

-Galen's player

I`m not even a pvp`r and that statement still makes me wanna tell you to STFU.

Maybe it wasn`t the bad behavior as much as it was the stupidity of the peaple KNOWING your in a world of thieves and pk`s but yet do nothing to protect yourselves from the dangers of the world. Instead of taking care of yourself and your belongings, I guess it was easier to **** and moan that a thief/pk/whatever took advantage of poor little you.

 

[mrrippletip]

The fact that the UO team insists on keeping Felucca despite the fact that people won't go there despite many incentives, in order to cater to players whose bad behavior necessitated Trammel to start with.

-Galen's player

rogl

if you don't play in Fel why do you care if it's there or not?

just so you can sour grape some people out of something they like?

what a horrible world view


some of the rudest people in the world are found in Trammel because they can function without the fear of repraisal...i cannot tell you how many times i have been griefed there just trying to do something simple like train parry or tame bulls

PVP is not "bad behavior". It is a means for a lot of really cool, generous people to mutually scratch their competitive itch. Your very presence in Fel means you are consenting to PVP.

 

[Connor_Graham]

The fact that someone complained about Trammel and Galen merely flipped the coin over seems to have gone right over the heads of people defending Fel, proving exactly what was said to begin with.

How ironic.

 

[twoburntfouryou]

People at the rares fest trying to pass off things as "Rare" putting a high price on them ....example the Chirstmas Gingerbread cookies almost every vendor at the rare fest has 1-8 of these. Or the ones that say there are only 1-4 of a certain item in all of UO asking 10ml or more for this item when you know at least 5 or more other people who have the same thing

 

[Gowron]

rogl


PVP is not "bad behavior". It is a means for a lot of really cool, generous people to mutually scratch their competitive itch. Your very presence in Fel means you are consenting to PVP.

While I concur with the bulk of the statement, I shall still add this to my pet peeves:

-People who don't know the difference between "risk acceptance" and "consent to PvP".

 

[Coldren]

1) Ninjas, Samurai's, and Tokuno. Sorry, I just don't think they fit the theme of UO. I'm a total hypocrite and I will USE at least Bushido, but I'd rather it not be there at all. Thank god there are no spaceships or guns yet.

2) No world political system (Beyond Sigils) - Why can't players or guilds govern a town yet? Declare war on other towns? Taxes? Select NPC's? Declare citizenship? Vote for council/rulers? Siege other cities? Put those old cities to use!

3) Large tracts of land you literally can't do anything with (I'm looking at you, Malas). Can't place houses, nothing spawns there or at least nothing worth killing/taming, no trees.. What the hell?

4) Virtues? What's a Virtue? Oh! The 5 skills that do small things, take forever to gain through convoluted means, are quickly lost, and few recognize as anything beyond trivial? Yeah. That's the spirit of Ultima!

5) Titles - Not clear on how you get them, can't set them if you have several titles available (I think.. not sure.. not even really sure I have a character with more than 1 title!), and IMO, not used enough. It's a great carrot on a stick to give people something to work for that they can show off, and it can should be easily selected with a gump or drop down menu.

6) No Sub-Specialization - I liked the idea behind the specialization system that was dropped (Can't remember what it was called). I'd like to see ways that beyond just raising up a base skill, you can specialize to excel your character in certain areas. Example: Max Swordsmanship, but specialize in 3 sword types and get unique abilities or do more damage with them. Take GM Parry, specialize in defense with 2-H Weapons, Shields, or Evasion (Simply dodging, regardless of weapon). Magery? Jesus, that skill line has too many different types of spells to start.

7) Saphireena hasn't been hired to completely redo all of 2D's artwork. I don't care if it takes her a year of doing nothing but redoing pixel artwork - The improvement that would bring to the game alone would be worth the base pay of a graphic artist.

8) A stable, new client that actually functions like UO 2D + UO Assist (All of it's functions).

9) I don't have enough time now that I'm an adult to play UO like I did when I was growing up. Not a peeve about the game, really, just generally something I'm pissed about. Damn you, adulthood!

10) UO2. Seriously. This is a goldmine of a franchise and it needs to be brought into the 21st century. New clients simply aren't enough - The world needs to be re-envisioned with modern coding practices and technologies.

11) EA. *Points to Sig*

 

[GalenKnighthawke]

How ironic.

Makes me smile for sure.

*chuckles*

People don't like it when the tables turn. Quite funny.

I'm also wondering what "rogl" is.

-Galen's player

 

[Hunters' Moon]

Siege? 1 Character slot. Yay.

Give me one character slot without me being forced into a constant pvp situation,or settling for always staying in the gz.

the first poster said Trammel was a pet peeve, not that it should be eliminated


nice try tho


rogl = Rolling on Ground Laughing

 

[Mitzlplik_SP]

Give me one character slot without me being forced into a constant pvp situation,or settling for always staying in the gz.

Just an FYI...if you spent any amount of time on Siege at all you`d know how false the bolded part is.

I don`t consider myself a pvp`r at all but I like the aspect of it and like being around it. Eventually I will get into it when my money and skills are at an appropriate level.

I play a tradesmen atm on Siege,I`ve spent almost 2 months there so far and I have been pk`d 3 times. I shop in faction towns(for regs/resources etc) where there is no guard zone. I think alot of peaple who think they know a lil something about Siege actually know very little. I mean how could you if you`ve never spent any time there. Try it before passing off false or mis/uninformed information.

Siege is nothing like you say it is.
