UO 2024 Wish lists

I think I've posted this before but here is my simple wish list for UO in 2024 (assume CC for client related):

• Carp/tink/bowcraft only 100 skillcap so repairing is extremely difficult, fail 3-4 times commonly, compared to blacksmith where you can get 180 skill repair that NEVER fail. A +20/40/60 skill tool for each skill PLEASE!
• Rental contracts for commission vendors
• Auction safe show full uncensored name of winner/bidders to the owner of safe
• VvV items-simple solution make them not usable in tram/no stats
• Pets path through people/other pets in tram
• Gold/plat amount in visible on status bar
• HP bar update: updates every 1% and shows % health either in the bar or overhead of the bar, i.e.: "A monster [55%]" (follows your target in the 'New Targeting System' option if above head)
• Jewelry box itself item count similar to bod books, not 1:1 (i.e. each piece in the box makes the box itself count as one more item) so you can move and pick up a full one. 125 to 500 jewels in a jewelry box cannot be picked up.
• Context menu trade only works if chars are on same Z axis, allow any Z axis
• Fix party bars messing up when member relogs/adds new CC 
• Transfer timer: lower to 20-22h because sometimes transfers take way too long.
• Option to turn off animations/spell particles (spells, SUMMON REAPER WHO THOUGHT THAT SPAM WAS A GOOD IDEA, etc.)
• Filter for ctrl/shift object handles, monsters/objects/etc. Maybe add a macro for different things? Only hostiles, only friendly, only objects on ground, etc.
• All functionality of UOAssist added to cc/ec (I haven't used UOA in a long time so maybe it's obsolete anyways?)
• Targeting system better/overhaul
• 'Toggle Item Insurance' macro for CC
• Ban 3rd party clients/players that used/abused/benefitted from them

I've been wanting a majority of these things for years. They're really non-controversial and are simple QOL updates to make playing the game easier. I'm not holding my breath, we've gotten ZERO of them and will probably never get them.... UO players wanting minor QOL updates be like:

Feel free to post your own wish lists below!

Most of this just seems like a waste of development time and doesn't improve the game for anyone? Auction Safes displaying the full name improves your QoL how? Lowering Transfer Time by 2 hours makes what kind of difference? Toggle Item Insurance Macro like what are you even babbling on about.

Please stop requesting to waste Dev time on a bunch of meaningless changes.

You never repair gear?
You don't sell items on auction safes or commission vendors?
You don't use HP bars?
You don't use parties?
You don't insure items?
You don't transfer?
You're right, no one in the game uses any of these features. Thanks for your wonderful insight A+ buddy

The things I wish to add is Water Tiles, similar to the grass, snow and sand we already have from a gift in the past.
All the Trades should have a Bulk Order Deed reward of power scrolls and tool that increase skill when equipped, such as the +60 Ancient Runic Hammer.  Thank you.

Simple ? I take it you'r not a programer?
I'm not really either but even I can see most are not easy and/or have a high probability of breaking something else.

Updated black market rewards 
Remove doubloon cap
Updated fish monger quest rewards 
New ships 
Custom sails
Fishing skill based weapon, harpoon? (2 tile range)
Sea slayer spellbook/bow

• Pets path through people/other pets in tram

Why? This would give really poor optics with every pet stood on the same single tile and ontop of other players also, would look horrible at events. And good luck trying to grab the healthbar of someone’s damaged pet or trying to target it to heal. 

A bunch of pets standing around because they are being blocked by 1 player and a wall but are unblocked on all other sides gives what sort of optics?

And yes, as you [didn't] read, my suggestions come with an update to the control-shift object handles and targeting systems.

1) - To have more UO items be made stackables.... there is still a lot that are not....

2) - Then, to see these "Treasures of" format Events have their Monsters NOT loot players' drops or, at least, only have Paragons be able to loot them since their corpses stay around for longer, the other Monsters' corpses decay way too fast and the player, usually, cannot get in time back to retrieve the drops looted before the Monster's corpse has decayed... it takes time to get drops, when they are looted and decay with the corpse, that time has just been wasted all for nothing...

3) - To have insured items inside one's own backpack to go back to their original container once a player double clicks one's own corpse to retrieve the contents.... I do not mind dieing in UO but I really HATE having to re-arrange time and time again my character's backpack because everything that is insured pops up in the main backpack and does not go back to the container which it was into...

4) - Bulk Order Deeds books be made counting as 1 item when holding 500 BODs, not 100.
And for good reasons.... the way that BODs have been Designed, banking only gives little points so, it is necessary to use Large BODs in order to get better Rewards. Yet, Large BODs are very scarce and hard to get so, lots and lots and lots of BODs need to be claimed in order to get some Large BODs, and they pile up and need storage space...

5) - Two containers, one for Armor and one for Weapons/Shields whereas they can hold 500 pieces and would count as 1 item towards lockdowns like the jewellery boxes do. And, please, with a sound and good search filter so as to find and retrieve more quickly whatever armor or weapon/shield one is looking for.

There is plenty other things which I would like to see but these, are the most important for me.

A single double click on a bee hive to get all of the jars of honey in the hive. It is not like you have the chance of getting a special jar of honey is there?  So why double click up to 10 times.  Yes, I use a macro to do it. But not having to use a macro would be nice.

1. BOD system update.  Large Tailoring Bods are almost non existent. Maybe some new addon rewards for doing them.  
2. Fishing quest.  My friend and I were doing the endless fishing quests in trying to get a fishing 120 scrolls.   After weeks and weeks neither one of us even got a single Power Scroll.  This should be accumlative.  After so many runs, you get a 105, then 110, then 115 and finally after 100 runs 120 scroll.  This seems completely random.  We both just gave up.

My only wish for UO in 2024 is the release of New Legacy.

One day doing the event without bots

being able to choose which direction to bribe up a bod. if i want an Exceptional piece, let me choose it, rather than the number jumping up or it switching to a higher leather type. 

example: i tried to bribe 10 leather shoes and wanted 10 Exceptional. out of 60-100 bods, none went to exceptional. they all jumped up or switched leather type . 

Single use lore book dye matching the colour of the previous events themes.   The lore books all look the same and quite drab, a visual variation would be amazing. 

New skills 
Dancing 
Singing
Maybe they could change up bard gameplay in some way, maybe add a single skill dip into buff/debuff "spells" with a few dances/songs that could be unlocked through quests like the summons in spellweaving.

Could result in some interesting templates for people who aren't interested in the whole "pocket bard" thing.

I see this as a token sold through the UO store or given out as a seasonal gift.

• Please put Spell Channeling on the Hildebrandt Shield. I haven't waited for 25 years for the shield to fall out of my hands every time I'm recalling. Thank you.

Can you not use it as a destination object for a shield transmog? and put whatever you want on it.

It was made as a transmog target. It keeps the graphic and spell It has and takes the properties of whatever shield you transmog it into.  Great item.

• Filter for ctrl/shift object handles, monsters/objects/etc. Maybe add a macro for different things? Only hostiles, only friendly, only objects on ground, etc.

This would top my list
Ctrl/Shift in Classic client is, for lack of a better term, broke when a lot of content is on the game play window.  Usually in my case, all of the handles except for the one i'm looking for will pop up lol.

adding alternate options would certainly help
Ctrl/P = player only handles
Ctrl/N = NPC only handles
Ctrl/M = Monster only handles
Ctrl/G = items on ground handles
Ctrl/C = Corpse only handles

Scroll Binders should be be able to make 1.0 scrolls of transcendence along with the existing ability to make 2.0 and 5.0 scrolls.  Getting enough small scrolls to make a 2.0 takes time and increases the number of items the server has to keep track off.  Being able to make a 1.0 scroll will reduce the server load.

Covfefe said:

10 scrolls what is takes for powerscrolls, its very unlikely you will get 20 x 0.1 in a row.

Well, the Fire painting from the King's Collection pack, only generates scrolls of transcendence that are 0.1 of value, to my knowledge.... 

I also am of the opinion that it would be a good thing to have Scroll Binders being able to make 1.0 scrolls of transcendence in addition to 2.0 and 5.0 scrolls.

I just want a feature where I can pay to have my own customized keep in the server.  I feel like there should be enough space these days to do something like that. I'm sorry...I just don't like the custom keeps there are available.  Some are close to what I want...but if I've been playing off and on for over 20 years and worked myself up to a keep (long ago, but still)...shouldn't I be able to customize it the way I want.  I'd even be happy with the exact same thing only 4 levels high at this point.

crabs and lobster, 120 fisher should NOT be catching worthless un-named crabs

I agree. We should be able to customize keeps and castles. It could even be tied in as a veteran reward option if necessary.

I could definitely get behind these. You could make it where #4 works like power scroll books and can only be used when locked down in a chest. Would be fine with me. 

I would add to 5 to have these items work when they are other containers. I like the function of the jewelry boxes, but they are ugly IMO and do not match the themes of décor I prefer for my houses. I still have them, but I hide them behind walls and out of site when I can.

I saw someone else post about them being store items (more likely), but if the developers wanted a good gold sink, keep the items shard bound and have a way to buy them with gold in game. I know some people would be upset as the value of items they ahve paid for would go down, but if they reintroduce via another event, they go down as well. At least this way they can continue to add new drops but also take some gold out of the game. Keep them at 150-200m each. 

Any way they do it, it would be great to get some of the items back in the rewards list. 

One thing I would add would be the ability to craft a "First Aid Belt". You can make this belt do 30% weight reduction, no heal bonus (not sure I have ever seen anyone wearing it) and make the recipe a drop or reward from something. This is one item since I have been back that I would love to get my hands on quite a few of. A lot of the armor pieces I missed out on while I was not playing I can live without. They are nice, but I can work around not having them. The first aid belt is game changer for characters that use bandages and can put you at a disadvantage in fight without it (PvP and PvM).

Sitting for a moment and thinking about what I want to do, I would add one more thing. Have some of the spawn rates for monsters increased. In some cases I can kill a monster is 5-7 seconds and then have to wait 60 seconds for it to respawn. Even cutting that time in half would be great. Make it worth spending the time to go kill high end monsters other than the named ML bosses because they spawn at a decent speed.

I'd like a Stat Stone that let's you set your stats.  Stats can be cheesed fairly easy and I like the idea of having a bunch of soulstones and just one character.  Then I can just adjust my stats to whatever I want without needing to bounce skills up and down for an hour.

ECUI  EC/CC graphics  pick ec look or cc look

I'll get behind all the wish list items because none of them will impact me and will help others. 

my very # 1 wish is that they'll separate the casting spells into magic groups when trying to make a macro in CC. This is probably THE most annoying thing in game to me.

# 2 ban the other client
# 3 see my numerous other posts begging for more clothing options (peg leg, king crown ect ect)
# 4 maybe more housing opportunities
# 5 new ridable pets and colors

For a 25 year reward, the item is quite underwhelming and useless for any spellcaster. Regardless, I will get one to two in December just to hang on wall,
EDIT: just saw Pawain's comment about it being a transmorg target, may just do that 🙂

Let's see, from most most important to least important:

• Runic reforging for tinkering.
• Horn color/ring/etc socket for gargoyles.
• +60 crafting items for tailoring, carpentry, tinkering. (I want to be able to repair without stressing).
• +20 scrolls for carpentry and tinkering (45% fail rate, with max talisman, when filling bods is too much).
• Bane dragon
• Ability to add something like pet castle, etc to Britannia ships. (Tamers should be able to swap pets without going to the city/stable)
• Fix the animal taming/pet bugs listed here.
• Fix the VS and scamming on VS with item descriptions.
  
• Buff up imbuing and runic reforging.
• Open up Malas for castles, keeps.
  
• Something like runic reforging for scribes but I dont know how should they handle the craft table.
  
• Mount that gives luck (if we have damage reduction mounts, then why not luck?), corresponding item for gargoyles (must have).
