Developer Meet and Greet – TC1 – March 18th 2024

 

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: Right now, Gargoyles are missing 125 luck because of the missing earring/horn ring slot.

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: We also cannot enhance our earrings, neclaces, and amulets due to a bug.

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: When we try to enhance, it wastes a point from the Forged Metal of Artifacts but item does not get the bonus

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: Would it be possible to fix this before the coming event?

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: So we can atleast get extra 120 lcuk from the enhancement?

Mesanna says: We will look into the enhancing issue

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: Awesome! It would be great. Thank you.

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: So my other question

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: can you guys please add +20 scrolls to carpentry, tinkering, and fletching?

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: As well as +60 items for them as well? Is this possible?

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: Failing to repair items, and 60% non-exception rate when filling bods is too much IMHO.

Mesanna says: We will not be doing that

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: What do you guys think?

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: Hmmm, do you mind if I ask why?

Mesanna says: we can look into a hammer that gives you the skills to repair

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: That would be amazing! I really appreciate it.

Mesanna says: We all misunderstood what you were asking at first

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: Ohhh, my bad.

Mesanna says: no worries

Mesanna says: anything else?

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: I just want to be able to repair without many misses. and craft exceptional with more than 40% chance

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: Thanks for this amazing game

[Crystal] Mesanna says: understand

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: We love you

Lord Xen’Rin of Kern says: Take care

Mesanna says: we will thank you

Mesanna says: Good evening

Mervovingian says: hi

Mervovingian says: we have a problem with the new weapon storm lord’s steel

Mesanna says: would you like to be a little more specific

Mervovingian says: it is massively overpowered because

Mervovingian says: it is bugged

Mervovingian says: in publish 96 is states that

Mesanna says: we are aware of the sparks

Bleak says: The Spark property is being adjusted in Pub117

Mervovingian says: sparks will not activate

Mervovingian says: but it currently does activate with frenzied whirlwind

Mervovingian says: its a mistake

Mesanna says: Thank you anything else?

Mervovingian says: actually i have a little problem with spellweaving mastery

Mervovingian says: mana drain

Mervovingian says: sorry

Mervovingian says: mana shield

Mervovingian says: if you have more spellweaving skill

Mervovingian says: its supposed to be better than less spellweaving skill

Mervovingian says: but the mana shield is consuming 50% mana

Mervovingian says: and you can’t mitigate it at all with lower mana cost

Mervovingian says: so if you have high spellweaving skill

Mervovingian says: you end up draining more of your mana

Mervovingian says: and it makes it worse

Mervovingian says: should be less mana consumed with higher skill, not more mana consumed

Mervovingian says: so at 90 skill for 1000 damage received at 10% shield, it consumes 100 mana

Mervovingian says: at 105 skill, for 1000 damage consumed, it consumes double the mana 200

Mervovingian says: no amount of mana regen can sustain this

Mervovingian says: so you have to drop your spellweaving to 90

Mervovingian says: to use mana shielf

Mesanna says: One moment

Bleak says: The skill modifies the chances for it to proc

Mervovingian says: yeah but it doesn’t modify the mana it consumes

Mervovingian says: so at high skill it just drains all your mana

Mervovingian says: so then you literally can’t even have enough mana to heal

Mervovingian says: or do anything

Bleak says: We have no intention to change it at this time

Mervovingian says: okay

Mesanna says: Thank you,

Mervovingian says: thank you

Mesanna says: Have a good evening

Mesanna says: Good evening

Kyronix says: Greetings!

Okami says: Hello! Is there any progress made on the tools for content creation for players since the PEC is gone? Making it easier for players to set up and run events/stories?

Mesanna says: Hello?

Mesanna says: No there is not

Mesanna says: we are not looking into that at this time

Okami says: And the PEC program is pretty much dead?

Mesanna says: Yes it is

Mesanna says: they were not being used to fill their time

Mesanna says: anything else

Okami says: welp. thats great to hear, lol

Mesanna says: sorry

Mesanna says: Greetings

Offred says: Hail and well met!

Offred says: My question is kindof pertaining to the future of Ultima Online in whole

Mesanna says: ok

Offred says: with the (hopefully) soon release of NL

Mesanna says: correct

Offred says: will there be any advertisement or discs in stores, or maye a release on steam

Offred says: in order to bring in new players?

Mesanna says: no we do not produce discs

Mesanna says: and UO is not on Steam

Offred says: I realize that UO ISNT on steam, but it could reach a massive audience that way

Mesanna says: We have a Community Manager that is producing videos to post

Mesanna says: Yes there are alot of fingers in the pie

Offred says: right now i feel like unless you KNOW about Ultima Online, there is no new blood so to say lol

Mesanna says: We are 27 years old I think we might be doing something right

Offred says: Even a snippet in Game Informer or something to put our name out there

Mesanna says: I am sure it will be picked up by a few gaming magazines

Offred says: 27 years old with a dedicated player base… But we are lacking new players… Just old players making new accounts 🙂

Mesanna says: thank you

Mesanna says: Anything else

Offred says: that was all.. thank you

Mesanna says: we understand

Mimi says: hello all

Mesanna says: Good Evening

Mimi says: I’m wondering if there are any plans to create a large ship’s hold for CC

Mimi says: *wiggles eyebrows*

Mesanna says: lol

Mimi says: lol

Mesanna says: we could do that

Mesanna says: but we might be held up by art

Mimi says: oh that would give me such joy

Mesanna says: we will see =)

Mimi says: can i have a follow up?

Mesanna says: sure

Mimi says: Would you, could pleeeeze put granite as a resource on ships that we pirate?

Mimi says: seems odd we get all the other resources but not granite

Kyronix says: Would probably make the ship sink like a stone

Kyronix says: Would put the captain between a rock and a hard place

Mimi says: ah ha! but it wont!

Mesanna says: omg

Mimi says: I even looked into the history of shipping stone

Mimi says: like back in the day

Kyronix says: I’m sure those history books were quite dense!

Mimi says: not my day, mind you

Mimi says: hahaha

Mimi says: you funny

Mimi says: last one

Mimi says: anything new for rogues?

Mimi says: up and coming?

Kyronix says: We have some exciting rogue concepts we’ll be looking at in New Legacy

Mimi says: that would be almost as nice as granite on merchant ships

Mimi says: awesome

Kyronix says: Just keep your fingers out of my pockets!

Mimi says: thanks for all your time

Mimi says: much apprecieated

Mimi says: g’night

Mesanna says: lol Night

Donavon says: I would first like to thank all of you for the new systems over the last 5-7 years

Mesanna says: most welcome

Donavon says: the new taming changes were a real homerun that brought endless joy and research

Donavon says: My question is about an old spawn that was removed about 10 years ago because

Donavon says: players wre using it to solo the slasher

Donavon says: I speak of the bane dragons

Donavon says: might it be possible

Donavon says: to find the spawn a new home

Donavon says: so that other might enjoy this amazing pet

Mesanna says: Not likely but we can talk about something different

Donavon says: I understand

Donavon says: I saw you were making pvp changes

Donavon says: might you be able to lower the amount of pet damage reduced by players

Donavon says: from pets from 50 to 40%

Donavon says: =D

Mesanna says: we can discuss this

Donavon says: thank you, I know the pvp tamers and those that just do spawns

Donavon says: would enjoy it greatly =^-^=
