Can you describe clunky here? Smooth isn't exactly the adjective I'd use for the combat in UO to begin with. I haven't played the game at all, and if the combat is somehow worse than the original UO, then I'm definitely not interested.

It's significantly less clunky than UO (i personally wouldn't call it clunky at all). Best I can compare it to would be Baldurs Gate/Icewind Dale/other AD&D games of that era. If I'm right in what I'm assuming, it's like rolling a dice to detect hit chance etc

So I guess custom assets for server owners is becoming a thing meaning the game just got a lot more interesting.

quote:

12:21 PM] Andi: custom assets were impossible for so long, we could never really find anything to do for artists
[12:22 PM] Andi: but even with this partial opening, we can now start to work on that
[12:22 PM] Andi: get some people on board, maybe make our own art team
[12:22 PM] Andi: even if the members just do some stuff from time to time
[12:22 PM] Andi: noone expects anyone to be as committed as gorgan and me
[12:32 PM] Andi: So, if anyone is interested, let me know. I'd invite you to the staff Discord, for NDA reasons, have you sign the NDA, get you approved modder status with CS, so we can hook you up with the loa unity toolkit and their tutorial videos
[12:33 PM] Andi: Don't worry about the formalities, all our staffies went through it, i'll handle it
[12:33 PM] Andi: If you just want to make models, this isn't needed

I'll give it a try when I can make my own server and just me and my friends can run around for a few weeks killing poo poo. Zero interest in their official servers.

Yes, just started a character on one of the east coast servers but haven't really done anything yet. Legends of Aria truly is a spiritual sequel to Ultima Online. Everything about it feels and plays like Ultima Online.

It was actually pretty good. I really enjoyed playing it and the community was getting there. Then we got hit with a triple whammy of broken updates, extended downtime, and butthurt admins.

Ya it was pretty fun for a while despite garbage everything mechanics and virtually no content, but holy poo poo it went off a cliff fast.

I had been following this game the whole time, waiting for them to actually, you know, finish it and implement things like stealing, and the actual drat world but apparently this flamed out like every other custom UO server

I don't know why most people hate it, but I don't like the lag and rubber banding. I was fighting a bear with my wizard, then it lagged, then I was almost dead fighting two bears, DEAD. The lag happens too often in a permanent item loss game. Maybe they are going for the authentic 14.4k baud modem feel the old UO had.

Honestly this game sucks and has nothing redeeming about it. Just getting over the new user experience is not worth it as it's so painful and slow.

In the same boat as you. Play Albion instead. The devs for LoA have done almost nothing in that time to improve this poo poo show. It’s another failed crowdfunded project.

But in Albion you can't put up stupid crap shack with trash strewn about your lawn for the public to see and carefully rotate/place each piece of trash :(

I got this a couple weeks ago and have just been fooling around, but I started on the other US East server. I might just reroll on Azure Sky. PM me your in-game info and I'll friend you when I get on again.

I'm usually on my melee, called Alois. I joined some newbie friendly guild called Skara Brae Trading Company.

The grind here is brutal, and I can't even use my Logitech gamepad to macro, they seem to have blocked it from working somehow.
