in the latest newsletter the devs have mentioned that 1 slot rideables from the UO store will be resurrectable with bandages reguardless of skill. I like this but I would ask if this feature could be extended to the 16th anniversary mounts.
I haven’t read this, please can you post a link.
so this is the end of war horses and VvV then?
I see it now. This does not look good for VvV now.
So there will be less people joining VvV, this will mean more people will need to go red to kill opposing guilds, but will not have an advantage over blues as will have the same mount but -1 Faster Casting.
I can see a lot of bitterness coming from this when some people who don’t want to play a red feel they have to stock up on forged pardons cos nobody in opposing guilds is orange.
this is very bad.
(Doesn’t bother me as I have over 2k murder counts on all my chars but not everyone is like me)
I am misunderstanding it? They are not proposing you can self res windrunner and lasher? So why would people use a VvV war horse that dissapears after 8 deaths when they can self res one of these lashers/windrunner that lasts forever.
I must not be understanding it correctly then...
or you can only res/ride them in trammel?
The Lasher and the Windrunner are WEAK.
I do stand corrected that they are trainable up to three slots but they are so weak that they are not worth wasting the power scrolls. I know someone who trained a Lasher. At three slots if you SNEEZED on it, it woulld promptly keel over and die. I doubt it will give anyone a PvP advantage unless you LIKE running on foot! LOL
They give no bonus or anything. They "look good" that is it. Total bank-sitting fodder.
The VvV horse/ozzy/llama do give some sort of bonus, the down side is it disappears after 8 deaths.
If you want Mervyn buy yourself a Lasher, and PvP on it. I'm telling ya it's REALLY HARD to take a PvPer red, blue or otherwise seriously riding a Unicorn with a Rainbow mane and Tail.
They have the same hit ponts and resists as a vvv Mount no?
even if they had 1hp, it doesn’t matter as vvv horses die in one frenzied whirlwind too, the ability to res it is why people use it.
as long as you can only self res it in trammel, it shouldn’t affect the bank sitters as you say that never come to Fel.
if you played my shard, you would also know that my online reputation is not one that would be affected by choosing one mount style over another.
I'm with Mervyn on this one. Allowing the pets from the store to be resurrected with bandages and no skill will detract from the VvV mounts.
Ok I think I get it. He thinks this will reduce the number of sheep for Pkers to kill. If they want to attack other players they should accept the consequences. (oranges = sheep)
The colored horse is still a nice perk.
sentence removed by Mariah
VvV is already forced on everyone and giving store mounts the benefit of self res will not change this. Also it has been mentioned one of the next content patches is going to be a VvV update which will hopefully do its job and give players further incentive to participate.
If this will not affect VvV, then what is the harm in only allowing this to work in trammel?
With regard to my credibility
I complained that when they release shard transfer shields, it would ruin the market for powerscrolls. And I was right, fel became dead for years and powerscrolls were being dumped in the trash for cleanup points.
I’m still waiting on a thread for everyone to congratulate me on correctly proving everyone wrong...
^^^^ The way this forum does quotes is horrible.
Thanks. No wonder ppl are complaining about VvV if the incentive is a colorful horse and not gameplay.
No, the incentive is not a colourful horse, the incentive is for a horse you can res. Colour is not an issue
LMAO. if people are joining VvV just for the horse, the problem isnt with the horse and what it can or cant do.
I’m not that against the idea at all, so long as you have to be in vvv to be able to do it, or you have to be in trammel, or there is a few minutes delay on the pet dying and being able to res it.
Render to Caesar the things that are Caesars.
In pvp, there are massive advantages to having a horse you can res compared to riding an ethy. This is why people ride war horses and not ethys.
that you can mount after you're dismounted. You can't mount any other single slot mount as it will be killed before your dismount debuff is over. You can't mount an ethy as you get disturbed. In a group fight.
If this were not the case, everyone would pvp as a gargoyle. (which is quicker to fly than an ethy)
You think people keep buying new horses and resetting their macros (on 2d) everytime it disappears after 8 deaths just to look cool? When in some battles the horse dies like 8 times a night, you carry a spare in your bag just to look cool?
