What is the Emberwing?
I haven't played NL since day one. Can you share a pic?
4 slot dragon that does Fire damage, it works great in NL.
The 800+ str White Wyrm would be interesting on prodo shards if they could be trained to 5 slots..
I totally agree with you. There are a lot of points that make NL stale and boring. Its main focus is giving tammers some pets to carry to prodo shards. The crafter life is totally miss understood. The congiarium system is garbage and not needed at all. The sole purpose of NL it was screaming was 'join this new world of an old game and forge a new legacy, as a warrior, mage or crafter' and i couldnt make the crafter i hoped for. I really hoped i could make a crafters life, being a renowed blacksmithy and selling my hard to craft valorite katanas and it was never close to that.
About the rare items and such you will be able to bring to prodo shards i am not sure, but i cant see anything with the same value as the tammer pets. They really missed the point on what they promissed and what they delivered.
Specific about emberwing, it may be a good pet on production i think, but its main appeal is the fact it is a 100% fire dragon, with fire breath and inferno abilities and 4 slots. Also the colors they spawn are unique to prodo shards.
Emberwing actually has a few hues, some lighter, some darker. The big pets to transfer from NL are going to be the Manticores, and the WWs. The WWs on NL have higher STR/HP/Resists than Prodo Gen 4 WWs, with only Gen 1-3 having more intensity at 5 slots, and Gen 1 able to have up to 825 STR. NL WWs will basically be a way to get stronger WWs in Pub 97 colors.
Do we know how many people are playing NL not characters created but actually play ?
I've almost given up on NL until new content is released. It made me come back to UO after 20 years, but after not even 3 months i'm considering canceling my sub because there's really not a lot to do on NL, it kinda feels like a huge lie. There's also the fact that, no matter which way you look at it, the developers seem to be COMPLETELY IGNORING their PAYING customers. There's little to no communication from them and no way for us to talk to them other than this forum, which they seem to be giving very little attention (aka pretty much ignoring us).
An update or comment here and there to legitimate complaints and suggestions, from a developer or a representative would go a LONG way to keeping NL and UO in general, alive. The silence and the disconnect between what players want to see and the lack of any information at all, as to what can be expected to be added, is killing the game, for me anyway.
If/when this new content gets added, if it's just more boss runs and a pet or two, there won't be much reason to carry on playing UO if i'm being honest.
We need events, quest lines, new skills like necro/chiv, better artifacts that are actually worth using. Crafters need to be worth making, they need a purpose other than repairing other players gear and feeding the congiarium BoD's for no proper reward. We also need better 4 or 2 slot pets that are actually fun/interesting to use. Guild houses need a better use and we should be allowed to easily relocate our houses to near our guild house imo.
Most of this seems like it would be INCREDIBLY EASY to add to the game, since it's already there in some form? Just change a few things there and there, and turn it on? Right? Like why are there only 4 champ spawns? Why is the lost lands 90% unpopulated? Why can we only mark runes at Obelisks/town? Why are there not more obelisks? Why why why? All we get is radio silence...
