[Mesanna]: Stoner are you there?

[stoner]: sorry sec

[stoner]: okay i emailed my question first beCause of the Complexity

[stoner]: Currently on EC it’s possible for a mage to be near invincible by setting a potion/apple/trapped box etc to target self/last, as

[stoner]: doing this prevents you from losing a held spell (EG Gheal). Is this a bug you’re going to fix?

Bleak says: With the steps to repro we can look at it and get it resolved

[stoner]: they are listed on the bug report on uoforum

[stoner]: full repro

Bleak says: We will take a look. Thanks for the report

Amber Witch: we miss you all

Bereg Strongbow: Hey y’all.

Mesanna: good evening

Parallax says: Hello!

Bereg Strongbow: Just a quick feature request.

Kyronix: Ahoy!

Bereg Strongbow: Could you extend the red leaf functionality to include cartography created maps for RP purposes?

Bereg Strongbow: That way we could seal the map so it is uneditable, pass it around for stories between us with noone accidently overwriting it?

[Mesanna]: we can probably do that

Bereg Strongbow: It’d make a bunch of folks really happy

Bereg Strongbow]: Thanks, looking forward to Alpha starting!

Rav: Good evening!

Mesanna: greetings

Kyronix: Goodmorrow!

Parallax says: Hello!

Rav: I reported a bug in the forums a while ago about Cache treasure maps in a davies locker.

Rav: At GM Cartography, if the coords show as Unknown on a Cache treasure map, when I drop it to my pack it comes out as supply.

Rav] This only happens with Cache treasure maps and I can reproduce it every time.

Rav: Is this something that made your radar?

Bleak says: We will take a look into this

Rav: Thank you!

Rav: That was all I had 😀 Appreciate all your doing

Mesanna: night

Mesanna: greetings

UO Simp: Hi , I’d just like to suggest a few small additions , will do a quick bulletpoint!

UO Simp: A necklace version of Leurocian’s Mempo of Fortune, and SC luck wands (currently impossible)

UO Simp: to make or craft

UO Simp: Please add 1166 hue dye for arties/weapons (cloth and hair dye already exist)

UO Simp: Returning player and faction enthusiast, I fully understand that factions have come and gone

UO Simp: but was hoping for a little rememberance, if I could suggest the following.

UO Simp: Faction banners to match their old symbols/primary colors, bat, cross, spellbook, crow. Similiar

UO Simp: Order/Chaos banner vet

UO Simp: “Legacy” dyes and cloth to match primary and secondary faction colors. 1645, 1325, 1254, 1109

UO Simp: benefit to pvpers to equal playing field

UO Simp: ty for keeping uo alive <3

UO Simp: all I had

Mesanna: greetings

Elizaer: Well that scared me

Elizaer: Hello!

Kyronix: Hullo!

Elizaer: I was curious if the season type system for NL was influenced by the recent uptick in battle pass type games

Elizaer: and, as general as it may be, with new stuff coming out like NL. Where do you see UO going in 5 years

Mesanna: no we are not basing it off battle pass type games

Kyronix: The primary goal with the seasonal play was to provide a fresh start so we can do some exciting and new things to encourage

Kyronix: engagement

Mesanna: UO has lasted for 26 years

Mesanna: I am not worried about UO

Elizaer: Ty all 😀

Elizaer: That was it for me

Mesanna: walk to the teleporter please

Vanecrox Seacreu: Hello, would it be possible to include a button to disable screen shake which comes from EQ spells and some EM event monsters, without disabling all spell effects? It can be headache inducing during events and champ spawns.

Mesanna: ‘what client are you using

Vanecrox Seacreu: EC

Mesanna: we will look at it

Bleak says: I will see what I can do to target just EQ

Mesanna: anything else?

Vanecrox Seacreu: Would it also be possible

Vanecrox Seacreu: to increase the UI scaling to a higher value

Mesanna: I am going to say no at this time

Vanecrox Seacreu: Ok thanks, even at max UI scale it looks small if you use higher resolution

Vanecrox Seacreu: Thanks

Mesanna: most welcome

Mesanna: Greetings

Orenda: Salutations from Origin Shard. Want to thank Mesanna again for her help with our souvenir shop at the Summer Solstice.
