Flaming bagpipes achieved.  Need to download some bagpipe ABC music when this gets into game. Jimlit posted:I'd have dropped $5 if it was like, "will finish unfinished scenes" That's been in the highly visible roadmap for a while now and you can see the ongoing progress in the Dev+ forums

I mean they're rolling out 3 or 4 this month that we know about. Spite, Estgard, Port Graff, and I've heard that Elad's Lighthouse is getting a little bit of love too, some random player owned town.

So I made sure I was sitting ready to claim when my time slot came up. Got the row spot I wanted in Estguard. Seems there was no competition at all :p

Same. I got one of the middle ones on the row of 4 next to the town center. We're probably neighbors. Hopefully when they come in and redesign I don't end up somewhere less convenient.

Lots shouldn't be moving at all and if they do it will be only a few pixels to accommodate scene deco updates, so you'll be safe. (re: livestream comments on the topic) If you want a vague idea of what to expect in a few days take a peek at Valhold, North from Estgard. It's not a completed scene either but it's still a good foundation.

The lots won't move, but I'm thinking more along the lines of the stuff around it moving. I'm right behind the bank, next to dock, etc. Is that stuff still going to be there? Are the npc buildings considered to be "lots" as well?

Xenos is the best case study for that - the main hub didn't move at all but all the buildings were replaced. Might be worth checking it out if you like. Bear in mind it was also once a clone of the same map Estgard is based off, so before getting updated they looked identical apart from map rotation.

Worst case scenario, I'm off on Thursday when 33 drops and can run around and move lots if need be. Do we have any crafter specializing so far that I should horde mats for? I'm thinking I'm going to focus on tailoring, tanning, and textiles, I think. Hopefully that pays off and we eventually get a load of craftable pretty clothes.

I bought into this awful game because I am a sucker for nostalgia and UO ruined my childhood. Right now I'm building my char into a Polearms + Heavy Armor dude with Healing and Water spells cause I guess those combo with polearms. Is this a dumb idea? How viable is it to make money gathering resources? I'm guessing I have to have a house if I want a vendor?

Is there benefit to focusing on a few skills rather than just doing everything? I guess that applies to adventure and crafting, but I'm thinking of craft specifically.

Does anybody have a link to a weapon/armor guide? I can see all the different stuff via recipes on the wiki, but it gets really confusing. It seems like weapons don't really get that much more powerful as they get better? Also, how the hell do you make a +1 etc. weapon? Is that what masterworking is? What exactly does the + give you? Is it random?

Auction houses want 10% of the sale price up front, house vendors you can list things for free indefinitely.

This mainly concentrates on the right way to do adventuring: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zl6SMCoiFY79STI3fyPuK7CdXioYUjjpmBPjXtOCX-Y/edit?usp=sharing You want to concentrate on a few things with crafting because gently caress masterworks. Leveling masterworks costs an obscene amount of silver to be remotely useful. Getting entry-level crafting so you can process your own materials & produce cross-competency basics like metal bindings and bow strings only costs crafting XP so if you're planning on stripping all resources in sight it's not a bad idea. But fuuuuuuck masterworking. You will need to specialize for that, specifically. If you get to the point where you're useful as a masterwork crafter and for some reason want to level a whole nother masterworking skill then I guess you've given up on life and can do anything you want.

Is it random? Weapons and armor either get made or not, the only things that your basic crafting skill determines are: (A) odds of success and (B) odds of exceptional. Success for all crafting things caps out at 95% and success for exceptional might(???) cap out at 22%? It caps out in the mid to low 20's. When you're first starting out, the big deal cool guy thing is that different materials have different bonuses that they offer to your gear. You can easily put together a fortified supple/hardened leather set that gives you like 14% crit and 5% weapon damage, IF you can get the materials, which is very hard to do. When you make a piece of gear there's a chance of it being "exceptional", that's where the +1 comes from. All that gives you is +50 durability which is trash until you start masterworking/enchanting. To masterwork, you combine a piece of gear in the crafting grid with 5 silver ingots. There's a chance (high at first, then lower as you level) that it will be destroyed when you do this. If it's not destroyed, you get to choose one of 3 "masterworks" to apply to the gear. These are all garbage at first, then they become less garbage as you skill up. Each masterwork adds a +2 to the weapon, reduces the weapon's max durability (better masterworks reduce durability by more, which is why +1 is actually really good), and increases the chance that the next masterwork will destroy the gear. For crafting (i.e. not alchemy) skills, you've got one main masterwork ability which, when leveled, increases the chance to succeed on masterworks, and then you've got 2-4 sub-abilities that unlock when your masterwork ability hits level 40. These sub-abilities are hyper-specialized. You have to level these up to get access to masterwork options that aren't trash. Alchemy has enchanting instead of masterworking. It takes gold and mandrake instead of silver, can be used on any gear, and immediately has access to all its top level options without having to level a specific skill. It stacks with masterworks without disrupting masterwork success chance so we're supposed to work together, but gently caress alchemists, they didn't earn this. Also they can socket a gem into your gear and there are special gem-specific enchants that have a chance to pop on gemmed gear. 30.5 Days fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Aug 24, 2016 |

When the expand permissions, I'll let you guys use my vendor and just pocket a low percentage (used to buy obnoxious amounts to drive in more business). It's only a matter of time until we get neon signs at this rate.

I'm getting nice increases in Encumbrance, so I can keep carrying more and more each time. My focus is generally on harvesting crafting materials and XP more than a time/loot $value equation but the swords and bows elves drops are an excellent weight to value ratio. If you just want money fast and have good carrying capacity kill bandits with halberds & warhammers in Serpent's Spine Foothills. They weigh about 7 "units" each though so make your looting choices accordingly. Good place to get maple wood too.

When the appropriate permission systems are in game for "renting" rooms (it won't be too soon, lots of other things higher priority on the roadmap) I'm happy to look into giving people individual rooms in my multi story basement with personal storage containers and so on. Free of charge obviously because the amusing idea of people living out my basement is payment enough. I'm sure others will likely be happy to do the same with their own basements / spare rooms. No interest in flagging my lot as a guild house though. Because of how guildhall access permissions work that would involve me needing to start caring who has what guild rank, define access rights by rank/individual, etc. Down to each deco item on my lot. Really don't care for the hassle. I'd rather wait for a system which is basically "Hey you, this bit is yours to do with what you want".

What do the green numbers next to the skill icons that are leveling up on the right side of the screen represent? It isn't how many times you need to perform the action to level it up. I can't figure it out.

Is there a way or a place I can see the interiors of the Shingle Village House with Overhang, and the Small Old Keep? I'm trying to decide between the two, and every time I see a player owned one, its locked. Portalarium sent out an email with R33 notes, and they sound nice. Path of Love stuff is getting the most attention, although Estgard is getting a makeover, as planned. I like how certain areas of the game that are PvP flagged will not be able to be circumvented by playing through Single Player or Friends Online. It sounds like they know the risk of PvP was one of the essentials that made UO great. Although they will allow people to go quickly through these areas, like the teleporter dudes at the passes. Loot is going to be more interesting too. Smashing crates might give you something, high level elves have a chance at dropping elven weapons, bosses have loot. Pretty impressive stuff. Are releases planned to happen each month? If so, this game is headed in a great direction.

Anyone who didn't pledge high enough to get a house: in-game lottery for property lots starts with this release tomorrow.quote:Lot Deed Raffle: Players can now buy raffle tickets with in-game gold for a chance to win Taxed Lot Deeds. There are two raffles, one for each lot type: Place-Anywhere Deeds (PAD) and Player-Owned Town Deeds (POT). Raffle tickets grant the holder a chance to win a deed of any size (Row, Village, Town, or City). Raffles will be held monthly and we will have multiple winners for each lot size (numbers will vary each month). Place-Anywhere Deed raffle tickets are more expensive but will have fewer deeds in each raffle than POT raffle tickets, which are more affordable and will have many more deeds in each raffle. This means your chances to win a POT deed are much greater. The following are the numbers we will be releasing in the first raffles:
