Re: Mount Stamina

Yeah I used to tell people I won whenever they ran away and every time they did it, I'd count and be like 6 nil to me you ran 6 times, same thing as dieing, I dont care about your insurance money. Also its definitely worth giving Dismount abilities a rebirth. I hated how AOS pvp became about the ble...

Re: Personally..

I do think repairs are fine - and a big part of the 'smiths @ brit smithy' community aspect. Could increase the max durability reduction perhaps? Have to remember that we're not just talking about sexy weapons, but individual armor peices that can be impossible to replace and require a whole suit r...

Ok I've done some more reading here of your walls of text Calix and you've already said most of this stuff. Great :D

Re: @ KoKane

Bump.
Do you want me to gather a bunch of people to come here and brainstorm random stuff related to an L25 style enviroment?

I'd suggest a new subforum for them and keeping this one as private-to-them forum but definitely recommend any and all ideas from people.

Re: Random thoughts/Braindump

Make a use for +5 scrolls~~~~~ In fact - going to +20 should require the use of +5, +10 and +15 beforehand 100% Hey, I had that idea on Defiance and they never did it (basically because the shard had been around too long for it to work past hurting new players) Those ideas are exactly the ones you ...

Re: The achievement/progression cycle

This is a big deal in a PvP version of UO, like what L25 was or tried to be. You trim away the fat and this stuff is lost in the process.

I think it boils down to tapping into players natural lust for wealth or power.

Re: Bugs/things that need fixing.

Well, you could simply change the colours used. They are the brightest in their range for the neon effect, so just adjusting the hue value for what the darker colour would be (dark green for 40% poison or whatever the % was) and so on to the highest. Bah I dont know if I made sense there. Its been a...

Re: Mount Stamina

Tab out wont break it, its similar to the runebook cooldown and shit, when you've been in warmode. Also, in razor now most people including dexers use auto flag hotkeys to effectively double click in warmode, the nearest or last combatant. I dont see a problem with people having close to infinite st...

I dont think anything should be repairable. Referring to the original L25.. The tools to make the good stuff became abundant, they always will. If you couldnt repair your stuff... yes it would suck to see it break finally, but its the type of thing players have to overcome, like having no insurance ...

Re: Mount Stamina

What's the solution? No-one wants Marathon-man PvP, but it's also incredibly frustrating having to stop to get stam back when you're spawn scouting, idoc hunting, or whatever? Capping mount stam also doesn't prevent people constantly off-screening, just stops them running miles... Warmode If you're...

Re: So far:

seriously fucking impressed. I want to get involved, what do I need to start editing/testing scriptz? Maybe I can put my limited PYTHON experience to use! edit: also, make sure you keep track of absolutely everything you've changed, and different versions/editions of code for easy revert too.

Re: This forum/the plan

Already accepting that you cant have the job done over night or in a month or two is a good sign. One of the things I never finally did was put my time and effort into creating/running a shard. I think you're spot on with designating all the time between now and the official servers closing, as deve...
