Tonight will be our first Roadmap Roundtable – an opportunity to hang with the UO Dev Team and ask questions and talk about all things Ultima Online!  You can tune in via our Twitch and YouTube channels and also join us on TC1 at the Barnacle Tavern in Minoc.  A gate will be provided from the Britain Commons in Trammel.  Join us from 6pm – 8pm ET!

Excting! Looking forward to the first ever roadmap roundtable! ^_^

Doubt any of the complainers will join. Easier to complain. 
Thanks for doing it!

Hard pass for me.. the CM invited me to DM her, once..


Anyway, you will give us the TL;DW 

PS: i'm not only complaining, or I would still be actively playing.. plus I dropped more ideas than you will ever will, in the last ~5months. 

I'm good to go, they fixed/explained everything I wanted fixed/explained. Life is good . . .

@Community Manager  I won't be able to make it tonight, but i do have a couple questions, if you don't mind. 

1) Can we talk about undoing this house tool delay timer?
 
2) Since vendor search was introduced, Atlantic has been plagued by influx of players making it the unofficial vendor shard of the game. This has caused housing prices to inflate to a plat or more and a severe lack of housing even down to 7x7 plots. With so much completely unused landmass available between all the facets, would the team be willing to open more housing areas up to give the players a little relief? 

3) When can we expect additional items added to the list that give cleanup points and when can we except to see more rewards added? What rewards are in mind?

4) Will we ever see vet rewards for sale in the store?

How about a complete gear wipe and reset the powerlevels. Item's have close to 30 lines of text and all it says is the item is junk and worthless.

Join and do or ask what ?

are you going to do anymore expansions ? 

are you going to do anymore booster ? are you going to ever focus on bugs ? 

are you going to dumb down the crafting system ? 

are you going to stop wasting time on nl and focus on your core players ? 

are you going to stop all the botting  and scripting ? 

are you ever going to band people for using 3rd party add-ons ? 

can you step outside your pom pom cheerleaders club and listen to others for once ? 

hmm im guessing the answer to everyone of those questions is a absolutely not !!!

But plz feel free to ask those question on my behalf tell them skett is asking not a friend....

You won't know until you ask.

You are delusional if you think they listen to me.  Every event would have 5 new pet types.  We could change damage types on pets.  Big cats could get Chivalry. And many other things I have asked for and not received.

I asked if they'd add more races, and one of yours about a new expansion. Think i got the 'we ain't really gonna answer answer' but, I did ask.

I don't know when you say politicians I think ..



 And no, I don't think that low of many people.

😂  im sorry

damn, i would like to be there, too busy at work for this round

I'd ask them if they have any plans to revamp VvV a little, it does not even need much.
I would boost traps from damage, and turrets, I would boost rewards.
I would increase the caps, to make rewards harder to get.

I'm not that interested in NL, I have nothing against it, but it is not for me, I wish them luck on that.

So my questions would be more around upcoming events, when will they be roughly?
Any clues of giveraways.
I thought they did really well bringing the Treasure Hunters in, then they sort of let it down when they let Sampires just bundle in at the end and take away from the T Hunters, but they did balance it a bit by the end.

I thought recent rogue content was great.

I think my point/question would be, will new events continue to involve more character styles, rather than botted sampires, which I think went down very well. A grind always works of course as well.

I'd love a Mage specific event.

And you say no one plays NL.  Those juvenile Manticores and Ember will be popular even if can't be trained.

The WWs will be instant hits if we can train them.  850 strength!

thank you 🙂

I just showed up at this moment 🙂

Hey got a bit more concrete answer about booster or xpac, may not be the answer anyone wanted to hear particularly, but I'm still glad to be playing the game.

aye it was just asked bc pawain said i wouldn't ask we all already knew the answers was no more boosters no more expansions but far more NL for those few players

I'll need to rewatch it. It was good to see them all, thank you all for doing it, good to see people.
Timings on the next event was mentioned - important, because I plan my annual holidays around these - kick the family off to some exotic holiday location, and find an excuse to stay behind and play UO 🙂

someone brought up about updating loot from old bosses.

I would like to see new hair dyes added to Lady M
(some examples that I think would be popular: wildfire, demonic forces, Rawiya pink, Calista Blue)

And some footwear. You know she's rocking some serious footgear to be living in the swamp like that.

You're offended? @Community Manager Fenneko completely ignored my controversial question of:

Fried pickles. Yes or no?

This means war @ Kyronix.

I am so upset, I'm canceling my sub. Then, out of pure spite I'm going to renew my sub and cancel it all over again. Bet you didn't see that coming. Take that, Broadsword Online Games!

... Other than, it was a 10/10 Roadmap Roundtable! ^_^

They must make excellent bait and he wants all the dungeon chub for himself

Was sick over weekend but ready to hunt now 

I didn't watch it all but it's well done and the communication we've asked for I think increasing the visibility through streaming between the CM DM Wyvern and others is a huge win

I would like a more visible presence on the forum but again huge thumbs up

You mean I out clicked you? Dang, i'm getting good.

Skett really out clicked me yesterday.. on another post about vanity mount (both post at 10h17m) we were saying the same thing.. here it's 12h49 and 13h30. 41 min apart 

Try again

TLDW. So I'm guessing the roadmap wasn't anything terribly interesting. If they announced a UO Furry Fiesta expansion or something there'd be threads about it.

The roadmap already been announced.. it's a round table discussing the announcement.

I could be wrong.. hvn't watch it.. maybe something new.. but like u said, by now Paiwan would have made a post.

They had better start porting NL crap to prodo and fast. They spent five years developing it while leaving the game so derelict and starved for updates that, by the time they checked back in, client development had been completely usurped by third parties. Now everything they made is sitting on some questionably-populated gimmick shard, while everyone on the regular production shards have basically been playing abandonware for the last six years.

What % of armor do you use that's more than 5 yrs old?

ForeverFun said:

Two of the most popular mage items (scholars halo, cuffs of archmage) are quite old.

Yes. They haven't done head gear yet, other than luck ones.  Most melee use event armor that is less than 5 years old.

My halos are transmogged, that's less than 5 years old.

Armor ?  

Pets ? 

Rares ? 

Most the stuff I do /did does require high end armor 

Then why are you complaining about getting that high end armor during the multiple events in the last 5 years.  You don't realize  all the dynamic quests, spawns, and dungeons were made by the developers?

Instead of making a new land mass that few will go to, like Abyss and Eodon, they have been making fun events that are so popular,  some make bots to sell the popular items to others.  I don't see bot armies in Eodon.

As far as new land masses go, not everyone plays like me.  When they made T2A, I lived in the Papau bank.  When sanctuary was added, I logged off in the safe area behind the fence.  And pretty much the same for every new area they have added.

Oddly I rarely saw another player in those areas.  New lands and areas don't draw crowds, why do them when dynamic events are much more popular. 

Shadowguard scripted to death .and auto follow turned it into an easy solo 

psycho said:

Game dont need more land mass, theres already alot of it.  But rather the existing land mass should be used better, make new quests, new bosses, new rewards etc on existing landmass. Its totally possible.  Players are spread out enough already.

I agree totally, we don't need more land, we need more reasons to use the land we've already got. I believe there has already been one small step towards that with the change to treasure hunting, now using all facets instead of just Tram and Fel.
Also the various items like the jawbone, which make the areas of Ilshenar more accessible

We can possibly make suggestions to achieve that, but lets try for simple, easy to implement ideas, not flights of fancy that would give Nick and Stephen nightmares?

You guys totally ignoring the past.. do not give them idea they going to ruin even more dungeons with their rework.

Just make sure to be specific in your demands.
Step 1: give us back some of of our old dungeon like Despice Tram.. then do more moundain legacy stuff. ADD content. Do not revisit old popular dungeon to kill them. thx!
