Well it's two days past Easter.......
#1
Kyronix did say "in the coming days" last week which I assumed also meant this week, but I can't remember the last time they implemented something on a Monday so I figured it would be more like Wed or Thurs.

He also said they were wrapping up QA on it so that might of hit a snag and the release to TC1 might be pushed back some. That said, they've had 3 months to develop and do QA so I can't imagine there being too many issues at this point and that it should be released to TC1 either by the end of this week or Tues/Wed next week.

Bring it on!

 🙂

If only there was some sort of manager.... for the community... that could keep us posted on what's going on with the new event. I'd be willing to guess that would be such a popular thing they could probably get a job doing that... we could call them the Community Manager!! ... oh wait.. :/

Was hoping the Mark of Wildfire (Luck Mask) would also make a return.

There is a "Fortune's Visage" (Orc Helm) which might be a luck helmet. I'd guess for a warrior maybe?

Is it a little curious to me that they brought back the Ranger cloak (again) before they brought back the Wildfire mask though. We have the serpent quiver for 5% SSI and Jumu's for 5% SDI - I'm not sure where the ranger's cloak would fit in these days.

EDIT** For those that missed it - they are going to prevent people from giving descriptions on power scrolls / trans scrolls / alac scrolls. That sounds like they've listened to what people have been saying on those.

This might help with scripting IMO. Having to sail to a place (even if they park their ship and row boat) could interrupt the bot trains who typically would just recall in to turn in their drops and recall out back into the action.

I assume there is nothing yet to see or uo.cah would have data mined. this either an "accidental" leak or another mistake..
#21
Adding lobster and crab to ships a nice work around but doesn't change the fact that catching no names like missing with your weapon or fizzling a spell should be tied to skill level

I'll give credit where credit is due - I think the Dev team is sticking to the deadline they gave. Release notes for TC1 were posted (yesterday late afternoon I'm assuming) which will be followed by the content sometime this week (my guess is today or tomorrow).

Also - Uocah datamines from a patch and is typically getting the new tags/art. If they haven't put something out then everything is likely using existing artwork / titles / tags. I don't think they've ever put out the reward properties before they've actually been released on TC1 or Prod.
#23
Without a sparkle or gate to the Sea Market people can be blocked from getting to the dock by bad actors filling up all dock-able places in a denial of service type of attack.  The devs could make the sparkle or gate not usable by EJ accounts.

The good news is they are adding pumpkin cannons and rowboats to the black market. Yay

From personal experience not if there is an active character on board.  Have a character recall around all to of the ships to keep the ships at the someone is on board state. (Mods please remove the previous sentence if it violates the TOS)

Apparently not.  They said after Easter.  That was a vaque timeline that still stands. 

Probably be on TC today or tomorrow. 
#30
Would be cool if today but it’s almost 6pm so highly doubt it for tonight 
#31
It's nice that there's already something in Pub 117, even if it's not quite live on TC yet...

I very much welcome the fact that there are new statues again, but there's still one thing I'll criticize ;)


@Kyronix: Do we really need another Hiryu statuette? I mean we already have 4 of them in more or less large graphics:


1. Etheral Hiryu Statue
2. Sahkran Bird of Pray
3 Ozymandias statue from the last event
4. Huntmaster Tophy
So I've had enough with Hiryu ;) - and with the Lady of Snow as a statue, which you can already earn at any time and for a long time as a reward in the Vesper Museum - why then another one as a Veteran Reward????

Please think about whether you could swap it - my suggestions here would be to take Reptalon instead of Hiryu, for example, or Revenant Lion and swap the Lady of Snow with Fan Dancer or Oni. Or maybe even better and much cooler: with Lady Melisandre ;)

I don't like the idea of statues that are a non-rideable version of ethys. If you check VS on ATL you will see some people trying to pass off llama statues for ethy llamas. Also for someone not super experienced, they might buy a llama statue for 75m thinking it's something the can ride
(and way cheaper than the 175m going price) and quickly figure out they wasted their money (and 75m isn't quite chump change even by today's standards).
#33
why not add the missing ore/ingot color vet clothing or at least dye tub so we can dye cloth leather and furniture those colors @Kyronix
#34

Even if they gave a vague one the bitchers would still bitch and GOD forbid that something happened and they could not meet that vague date there are people on here that would go off on the DEVs because they have done it in the past and we all know who they are because they constantly still do it.

Bullcrap because you are complaining now because they gave a vague time frame and it wasn't good enough. We are 3 days after Easter and you are whining already.

That was a statement and no date was stated it was AFTER Easter and as normal you start start your pissing and moaning.  Well guess what today is after Easter and so will tomorrow and May 1st and June 1st and July 1st are all after Easter, there I just gave you more to Piss and Moan about.

Sorry but that would be terrible project management and awful customer service. If you don't mind being told "after Easter" and don't need an update until something comes out in October then good for you and there is no need for you to make any post about timelines (go play the game since there is so much for you to do).

It's 2024. People can track their packages/flights/food/family & friends (if they let you)... with the first 3 there are updates when there is a delay. It's pretty basic I don't think it's asking too much for the Dev team to keep us updated on a game we are paying to play. Arguing that the Dev team shouldn't be held accountable to the paying customer is a baffling argument to me. I'd love for someone to explain that.

While I agree 36 hours after Easter was a bit early to be asking for an update, we are closing in on the end of the week without the updates being added to TC1. I think the players deserve some idea of what to expect. To be clear, I'm not saying "the publish should be in TC1 by now because they told us it would be". What I am saying is that if it's not going in this week, they should be telling us that. Even a one liner saying "Ran into some issues in QA so will need to push back the release to next week." would suffice. Right now it seems like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing; which isn't a good look.

In 2023 people could do all that and it did not change a thing in the way UO doers business.  FACT Mesanna will do what she wants to do and has done for many many years and you people think that all this whining/bitching/ranting/raving/bashing will change her mind, no what it does is piss her off more.  The OP did it intentionally as a bash and he knows it no matter how he tries to spin his BULLCRAP. but you people go right head and keep defending him.

  There's an idea,  make all statues have an ethy version (for those that don't have them already) then condense them to where they're both, ethy & deco, different functionality when locked down than it has while in your pack.    -this would make all (deco-only) statues more valuable because they'd also be an ethy, and may even reduce the price of some ethy statues.   -of course non-animal statues woujld remain deco-only (like virtuebane, and others etc.

as an additional result,  that potential scam you describe, wouldn't exist with those items anymore.
