LOL well yeah you know if I say it, it has to be bad right?Garth_Grey said:It was quite refreshing to see you say that Larisa...thank you :-)
Boreas may refer to:
If so, that would make sense...couldn't find a solid definition for Carthax, Moriens means decaying or withering,Tenebrae is the term used for the 3 Holy Days before Easter celebrated by christiansUriah_Heep said:They said we would see parts of the elementals again. Maybe this was referencing last years wind ele...did the other 3 perhaps have anything to do with Fire, earth, etc etc? But even so, that wouldnt help in the quest...just a loose tie-in
I think you were looking at the wrong clues.
The main clues are: character count, righteous, shifty character. Which leads to shift characters to the right by a certain count. The hard part is determining the count. Personally I just brute forced it.
The actual static cannot be changed once it is in game. What will happen in a future publish is an alternate version with access available to the areas you currently cannot access. In order to do that, the entirety of the footprint needs to be checked for valid conversion, hence the change here.Captain_Lucky said:Weren't we told these were hard coded static imagines that couldn't be adjusted when we wanted to add doors and such from stone crafting? I guess they actually can add customizing to castles if they really wanted too.
When players make requests it often takes a bit of investigation to determine the feasibility of making those changes as it relates to performance, return on time investment, available technology, and so on. Nothing is really "impossible" and I, at least, am pretty careful about using that word. Improbably or impractical are probably more accurate terms. What I find is that when players offer well reasoned and respectful feedback or requests, we try to act on it as best we can, and if we can't immediately, put it on the schedule for the future. When feedback comes at us from a place of sarcasm, hysterics, and shade - it makes it pretty difficult to want to sort through that to find actionable items.Uriah_Heep said:After watching some of the impossible tasks due to code be done, I have come to the conclusion, as have others, they can do any danged thing they WANT to. Gold shared shardwide? Impossible. Whooomp! Dere it is! Fooling with the static housing code? Never gonna happen. Ooops... Turnin points shared by all chars on a shard? no way. Oh wait, here's a ticket system to let you do just that!
I really feel at this point, most of these "can't be done" things are self imposed...

Given the entirety of the quest was solved roughly 24 hours after it went active, and a full guide was available shortly after that, the quest went as about how I expected. As far as explaining the clues, and how this all played out I'd be happy to do a post-mortem write up when some additional time has passed after Publish 101 went live. I also don't want to hijack this thread to make it about the quest, so I'd encourage replies and comments in other threads more suited to the topicLarisa said:Dear, dear Kyronix...PLEASE explain how your mind works!!

I was looking for a valid reason *smiles*Larisa said:
Captain_Lucky said:I was looking for a valid reason *smiles*Larisa said:
My reply is somewhere between no and never. Kyronix on one hand says that "nothing is really impossible" which leaves the fact that it's ok to be completely unfair to castle owners. That is unacceptable. This lag issue is a joke. I have zero lag and if you need a new computer you should get one. If your ISP sucks I'd replace them too. Running around the general housing areas of the map I have zero lag problems. So people with problems need to upgrade their equipment or get it working. My computer was well under a grand even after upgrading the power supply and video card etc so I don't know what to tell you if your having problems. If your buying off the shelf do your home work and start with a great processor. You can build from there. If your using a laptop what did you expect? lolXare said:Captain_Lucky said:I was looking for a valid reason *smiles*Larisa said:Just because you don't like a reason doesn't make it any less valid.I've got a computer that can run most modern games fine, but UO is such a jumbled mess of code that it even slows me down.Either accept the reason, or leave. Either way, you have an answer.
I still have my floppy drive. Can't find my tape drive. It might not have survived when my parents retired and moved 20+ years ago.

I don't find it a mature statement to say like it or quit. I don't want anyone to quit UO even if i secretly hate them or strongly disagree with them. But moving on... there's only 2 factors to lag. Either your isp or your processor. Pretty much. I have zero lag so it's gotta be something if you experience lag. Is that a reasonable statement? Speed has never been an issue in modern times. It's always packet loss and that might be something to look at. I had WOW internet for a month and was routinely disconnected from UO ever 15 minutes. Went back to Comcast (who I think are a major rip off but have great service) and that never happened again. I had lag spikes happen to me and my ISP couldn't see any problem on their end. They finally sent a guy out and when he unscrewed the outside coax water poured out of the main drop forever. Needless to say after that repair things have been peachy. So take it as some sort of insult or someone honestly trying to help you out as you will. I'm just offering suggestion and maybe your computer does suck. I don't know. What processor do you have? I know mine just took a big hit for a security issue that effected a huge amount of people. But even with that I'm all good. Maybe I should play another game, I could be a God, lol, since I run UO flawlessly.Xare said:Captain_Lucky said:My reply is somewhere between no and never.

Either way, you have an answer.So, my computer sucks. Ignore the fact that is runs pretty much any other game without a problem. Or that I have UO installed on the SSD. Good to know.Oh my ISP sucks too. Well they do, but my speedtests are generally over 100 Mbps, well exceeding what's need for this game.Its been stated that the trade-off is not currently acceptable. Not that it was impossible. Deal with it. If it is SO unacceptable, then speak with your wallet and cancel.
Xare said:I believe there was an extended discussion regarding people crashing on TC while designing a house.I'll accept you at face value that you didn't mean to be insulting. My apologies for imparting that feeling into your text.Can we get rid of the CC now?
Minerva_Foxglove said:The TC crashing was related to the tool , so the crashing was as bad out on the shards. I had as much trouble on Europa as on TC. It was insane.
I also have the answer to where the phoenix fella went. To a new game hes beta testing . He also happened to have a tree in his courtyard and that was the final straw. He gave me the task to distribute his belongingss among the helpers of new and returning players on Europa. The WBB banksitting group . The hardest working of us all, Gauge, now has a castle with a tree in the courtyard. So he was a good guy, We will remember that if..or when.he returns!
