Developer Meet and Greet – September 25th, 2023

 

[Kyronix]: Hello!
[Mesanna]: we will get started in just a moment
[Bleak]: Hello Everyone!
[Mesanna]: Good evening
[Parallax]: Hello!
[William]: A few quick questions please
[William]: First, can you please make mysterious fragments from treasure chests stackable?
[William]: And second question…
[Kyronix]: Unfortunately not, sorry
[William]: Can you please create a bottle that we can use a shield transmog potion on?
[Kyronix]: Like an equippable bottle?
[William]: An equipable bottle that is, like the ones currently in the game like a rum bottle for example
[William]: Yes, so we can use a shield transmog potion on a bottle that we can equip.
[Mesanna]: There might be some issues we will have to look into it though
[William]: Ok, and lastly one more question please.
[William]: Can we please get a portal that will allow us to go to different areas of the underworld and abyss?
[Mesanna]: Not at this time
[William]: Ok, thank you so much. Have a great day.
[Mesanna]: you also
[Mesanna]: Hi Stoner
[stoner]: hi
[Kyronix]: Greetings!
[stoner]: thank you for fixing the issue i talked about last time
[stoner]: was a very important fix
[stoner]: who was responsible for fixing the eC invinibility bug?
[stoner]: v good job
[Mesanna]: we work as a team
[stoner]: okay so you get to take the Credit haha
[Mesanna]: no
[Mesanna]: my team
[stoner]: normally i ask about bug fix but today i won’t
[stoner]: before we used to use reagents
[stoner]: now we have 100% lRC whiCh is okay
[stoner]: but i think there is some middle ground
[Mesanna]: good topic to email us
[stoner]: if you have 100% lrC, you still need to have tithing points
[stoner]: even though they are not used
[stoner]: so how about you must Carry 1 reg
[stoner]: and it just not be Consumed
[stoner]: to take the game baCk to its roots
[stoner]: its madrake roots
[stoner]: what you think?
[Kyronix]: Probably not going to go back on the 100% LRC ability at this stage in the game
[stoner]: i think maybe you don’t understand the proposal
[stoner]: you just don’t use the reg, but you should need to Carry 1 reg
[Kyronix]: Thanks for the feedback
[stoner]: same as tithing and lower ammo Cost work for quiver
[stoner]: okay
[stoner]: *shrug*
[stoner]: thanks

[Kyronix]: Since you can’t recycle tinkered or carpentry items, unfortunately not
[Mesanna]: We will not be putting those in
[Mesanna]: what he said
[Yeva]: bummer.
[Kyronix]: There’d be far too many splinters
[Kyronix]: It’s a liability issue sadly

[Yeva]: fabulous! thank you!
[Yeva]: that is all from me this evening!

[Kyronix]: Greetings!
[Parallax]: Hello

[Robocop]: What improvements are you guys working on to combat the massive amount of botters. The test that GMs ask (1+1, name an animal) is not stopping them. Obvious botters are not being stopped no matter how many times they are reported.
[Mesanna]: We know the frustrations on this issue, but understand
[Mesanna]: we would not talk about what we have planned to you guys
[Robocop]: ok thanks, I wish you the best of luck and hope it works

[Okami]: Hello!
[Okami]: I have like, 3 very different questions.
[Mesanna]: short ones
[Okami]: Will the new legacy beta be expanded or start taking applications from experienced testers?
[Mesanna]: from the sign up stone yes
[Mesanna]: where it randomly picks names
[Mesanna]: what is your question
[Okami]: So names are still being chosen?
[Mesanna]: no
[Mesanna]: not for this stage
[Okami]: Ok, will blackthorn’s dungeon ever be repopulated with content?
[Kyronix]: We would update it completely
[Kyronix]: But have no immediate plans to do so
[Mesanna]: anything else
[Okami]: Ok, last question. Is there any plans to revisit the “Event Creation” concept mentioned during the 20th anniversary meetup?
[Okami]: With D&D popular now adays, it seems a good thing to generate content for other players to do
[Mesanna]: we do remember the conversation
[Mesanna]: we do not have time to do it at this time but we think it is a good idea
[Mesanna]: we just have to find time to do it justice
[Okami]: would you be open to emailed suggestion about implementation?
[Okami]: Done sorry
[Mesanna]: we love reading suggestions
[Mesanna]: email me and I will share with the team
[Okami]: Thanks for your time!
[Mesanna]: night
[Hammersmith]: hello!
[Mesanna]: good evening
[Kyronix]: Greetings!
[Parallax]: Hello
[Hammersmith]: i would like to ask for a couple items to be added to the UO store
[Hammersmith]: one would be like a token to protect your pets when training
[Hammersmith]: so if we screw up a pet it will revert it back to that point
[Hammersmith]: because it really sucks to screw up a blaz cu or something like that
[Mesanna]: We have been against this in the past
[Hammersmith]: ok
[Mesanna]: we put in a planning mode to assist
[Mesanna]: and of course tc1
[Mesanna]: so no we are not going to be making a free retrain
[Mesanna]: so no we are not going to be making a free retrain
[Hammersmith]: second thing is what about adding in an option to buy one extra vet reward
[Hammersmith]: per year of an account age
[Hammersmith]: there are so many nice things to pick
[Hammersmith]: and it would be nice to be able to get a few more
[Mesanna]: lol that is a no also
[Hammersmith]: aww
[Hammersmith]: and parrot costumes
[Hammersmith]: thats all i got
[Hammersmith]: thank you for your time 🙂
[Mesanna]: that is a can of worms I do not want to open
[Mesanna]: thank you
[Mary Jane]: Howdy Team
[Mesanna]: Good evening
[Mary Jane]: so remember when spamming the combat mastery was all over the place
[Mary Jane]: and in journals
[Mary Jane]: and then yall fixed that
[Mary Jane]: is there a way to add on cc that we can block like chiv spells and such?
[Mary Jane]: I get why you would want it in pvp
[Mary Jane]: but the spam makes it really hard to follow em events
[Mary Jane]: any way you could give us an option to toggle that on and off?
[Mary Jane]: preferrably on cc
[Mesanna]: we will add that to our list
[Harry Potter]: Can you lower the amount of zoogi you need for bag of sending quest, takes so many and not enough on corpses.
[Mesanna]: umm we can look at the rate
[Harry Potter]: when you kill one you get 3 or 4
[Harry Potter]: you need 200 for the quest
[Mesanna]: I said we would look into it
[Harry Potter]: you must kill 7ants
[Mesanna]: risk vs reward
[Mesanna]: we will look at it
[Harry Potter]: ok thank you
[Mesanna]: greetings
[Elladan Faeryn]: Hiyas
[Elladan Faeryn]: May the Ankh neck item be made Imbuable???
[Mesanna]: I am not sure we want to do that
[Elladan Faeryn]: argh
[Mesanna]: we will look at the item and how special it is
[Mesanna]: before we make any decisions on that
[Elladan Faeryn]: Bless You All
[Mesanna]: thank you
[Mesanna]: good evening
[Jirel of Joiry]: hello

[Bereg Strongbow]: Good evening!
[Parallax]: Hello!
[Kyronix]: Greetings!
[Bereg Strongbow]: I very much enjoy the regular updates to the Huntsmaster Champion. And it looks like another one is coming from the recent
[Bereg Strongbow]: newsletter.
[Kyronix]: indeed!
[Bereg Strongbow]: We would love to see similar updates on the roadmap for community collections. The Library, the Vesper Museum, the Moonglow Zoo.
[Bereg Strongbow]: New rewards could be even as simple as new titles and it would get folks filling out the collections again.
[Mesanna]: would be nice to get them a facelift
[Mesanna]: lol
[Bereg Strongbow]: I agree!
[Bereg Strongbow]: Even if that Silver Steed in the zoo got a companion!
[Bereg Strongbow]: That’s more of a suggestion than a question, but I appreciate your time
[Mesanna]: thank you
[Bereg Strongbow]: Thanks
[Mesanna]: have a good evening
[Mesanna]: good evening
[Cogniac]: Hello!
[Kyronix]: Greetings!
[Cogniac]: Most here will probably consider my question extremely inside baseball, but…
[Cogniac]: …I was just curious if you guys are still using Wombat for all the backend scripting?
[Cogniac]: Also how it’s holding up over the years, if so.
[Bleak]: Yes, we still use Wombat
[Mesanna]: Yes we use wombat and may I ask who you are
[Cogniac]: Cogniac, obviously.
[Cogniac]: Say so right over my head.
[Mesanna]: ok thank you any thing else
[Kyronix]: *chuckles*
[Cogniac]: Nope. Happy anniversary!
[Epic Lute Gaming]: howdy team
[Mesanna]: good evening
[Parallax]: Hello
[Epic Lute Gaming]: Any idea how long this phase of NL beta will be?
[Mesanna]: couple of months

[Mesanna]: and open it up
[Epic Lute Gaming]: ok cool ty and have an epic night
[Mesanna]: yes sir
[Mesanna]: Good evening
[Rain]: Hi good evening!
[Rain]: I will keep it short and sweet 🙂
[Rain]: I was wondering if there was any chance
[Rain]: that we could make the player made baskets engraveable?
[Rain]: I LOVE to use them for gifts and rewards
[Mesanna]: oh that is a good idea
[Rain]: and it would be GREAT to be able to engrave them 🙂
[Kyronix]: You can never have enough baskets
[Rain]: right?
[Rain]: you should see my Moms house
[Mesanna]: its a good idea
[Mesanna]: I like it
[Rain]: thank you 🙂

[Rain]: you too
[Mesanna]: evening also
[Mesanna]: good evening
[Corathan]: Hello
[Corathan]: Few quick questions
[Kyronix]: Greetings!
[Corathan]: 1. dungeon chests and tmaps
[Corathan]: Could we get a chance for these, when opened, to spawn as say a Mimic mini boss
[Kyronix]: That would be deliciuos
[Corathan]: 2. The old armor sets, any chance these could be made imbuable
[Corathan]: annnd the trickiest question of them all
[Mesanna]: are you talking about the phoenix armor
[Corathan]: no
[Mesanna]: or the ranger armor
[Corathan]: like the assassin armor set
[Mesanna]: we would look into how detailed it is
[Corathan]: ok
[Corathan]: and back to the tricky question
[Mesanna]: not sure how many have those sets
[Corathan]: has the team considered borrowing ideas from other uh, servers…that are best left unmentioned
[Corathan]: like say an aspect idea from a farout land
[Kyronix]: While others have no problem infringing on intellectual property
[Kyronix]: It’s not something we do
[Mesanna]: no we are not doing what other imitation UO servers are doing
[Corathan]: just wanted to know, they do have pretty solid ideas
[Corathan]: have a good night
[Mesanna]: you also
[Mesanna]: good evening
[erfygh]: hola

[erfygh]: some em have try to run the spawn where black gate was
[erfygh]: but each time it was amess
[Mesanna]: then the EM should not do it there
[erfygh]: could you fix that ebcause it s a neat idea when the em cant eb there to run a spawn all day for the em event
[Mesanna]: you should talk to the EM
[erfygh]: so people working morning evening can participate
[erfygh]: each time a em have try it it went not repaswning
[erfygh]: respawning

[erfygh]: but now people say they are illegal?
[Mesanna]: yes they are
[Mesanna]: if I see them I will remove the hue

[Mesanna]: good evening
[Yoma]: evening
[Yoma]: uh I guess two things
[Yoma]: Can you give the Grizzle Mare the same stats as the Paroxy swampy?
[Yoma]: that would be awesome and make it more desirable
[Mesanna]: we can look at it
[Yoma]: ok
[Yoma]: and
[Yoma]: How about a spellbook strap but for talismans?
