Or they could just do it for the CC and make everyone equal. You are the only one that has a huge problem with this while the rest of the player base accepts it, so who should UO cater to, you or everybody else.
Surely equality is what is best for the game? I play the EC and I rarely use the dress/undress macro, but why shouldn't they put extra macros is the CC if they can do it?
Hopefully dress / undress will not be allowed during combat. its been abused too long by pvmers and pvpers alike. defeats the purpose of the loot system where more properties should be "better". should not be able to get 100 plus free skill points from a macro. should not be able to get 3k free luck from a macro. those are obvious abuses and were probably never thought of by the developers when the EC macro was put in.

Some people’s “chosen play style” is to dupe, not everyone’s “chosen play style” is without consequence to the community as a whole.
There are too many to list, here are a couple more examples:
chivalry is capped at FC2 with magery over i think 70 without referencing, you can bypass this restriction by simply swapping to +Magery skill items when casting magery spells and back again when casting chiv spells.
focused mages etc get 25 sdi, meaning if you have 60 necro to cast evil omen, you’re supposed to only have 20 sdi cap. However you can just have 29.9 necro and don +necro skill items just to cast evil omen and retain the 25 sdi cap.
Non medible armour gives +LMC at the cost of not being able to med, but when you use all mana can just switch to medible suit.
I could go on but no need, pretty much any and every game mech/cap gets bypassed.
It would be a good idea to disable it while in heat of battle or at least put some kind of cooldown timer on it for both clients
What Cobb said
also need a skill cap of 750 as well
They’ve said they’re introducing an undress macro, so let us hope for the best as currently the “undress” feature in EC is obsolete.
No I did not dupe them, I got them from a fel idoc, i'm presuming they were duped due to the volume (although they are vendorable).
Phew! Sorry I get very terse when someone says the word DUPE I have seen too much of it over the 21 years in the game. I feel its the worse cheat anyone could do outside of hacking another persons account.
I am glad dress/undress feature is being added to CC. But they still need to implement some restrictions to prevent insta suit switching in middle of combat on the EC and CC. If not I can see this causing a lot of problems. There are a lot of ways this could be abused. Mervyn pointed out a few examples, but there are many more ways.
Also in pvm, i'm not a fan of ppl switching to max luck suits right at the end of an encounter with insta suit switching. It pretty much makes functional luck suits (good mods, less luck) obsolete. Why bother using a functional luck suit, when you can insta switch to a max luck suit?
in pvm this feature limits the amount of gameplay. Why spend dozens of hours farming a functional luck suit, when you can bypass all that using insta suit switching to a max luck suit?
Even if insta suit switching is allowed in middle of combat (which I would highly advise against), there needs to be a 5 min cooldown at least
It only causes a problem for a small minority of the minority playerbase known as PvPers and like someone has already pointed out this has been in game with the EC and now all of a sudden it is a problem, priceless. What do PvPers say to the PvMers when they say something, "deal with it".
Another example of how this feature can be abused is through the damage eater setup. Normally it is impossible to have 30 eater of every damage type. But with insta suit switching, you can basically bypass this. If you are fighting a mage you can switch to your 30% fire eater and 30% energy eater suit. If you run into a dexer, you can quickly change to your 30% kinetic eater suit. If fighting a necro, you can insta switch to a 30% poison eater and 30% fire eater setup.
You do not express facts you express your opinion and your opinion is always right according to you but nobody else. Where are your statistics at, oh that is right the only people that require them are the people that disagree with you. Your opinion holds about as much water as your autostable soapbox rant, both are you opinion only NOT fact.
We wouldn’t want to disrupt anyone’s game mechanic bypassing. So inconsiderate..
I think everyone has now expressed their concerns on this topic, and the conversation is becoming much too personal. Further discussion may be relevant when the entire scope of the planned change is revealed in future publish notes.
