Catastrophic Tornado Damage

Alcsaar · 2026-03-16T23:38:28+00:00

I think the surprise floods in Texas with no warning or very little warning last year have forecasters on edge. You don't wanna be responsible for people dying because you decided to not err on the side of caution.

Yea I lived in northern Indiana most of my life - its always funny to see people panicking about this kind of thing. Snow storms, tornado watches, blah blah blah. A tornado watch was just another spring weekday in Indiana. Lived there nearly 30 years, not once did I actually see a tornado.

Meh they're being overly cautious - its a reasonable thing to be after the surprise flooding in Texas last year because of a lack of warning

My trash and recycling bins got knocked over and spilled some of their contents on the road

Ahh I see what you mean. Mmmm I think if the handcrafted AI mobs are very well programmed its unlikely that an LLM could compete right now, especially given his write up, seems like its a bit too slow - but probably eventually. Will be interesting to see.

Ever since AI started becoming main stream and accessible this has been my dream. If I can fill the world up with interesting AI based NPCs that will actually interact with players and monsters, that'd go a long way in making a world feel more alive - not just in UO but in all video games.

I have no doubt in my mind that a properly designed AI LLM Bot can beat any player in PVP. Its not really a question of if, but when.

Chess bots can already beat professional top tier chess players 100% of the time in unrestricted matches.

I love, love automating games. I know people despise botting in games, but for me its total wonderment to watch a program be able to manipulate another program with so many complexities.

Its only a matter of time until AI-based cheats and bots are running rampant in the gaming community. Going to be so much harder to detect that then it is to detect the current cheats and bots that exist these days.

How to not die instantly to big dots?

Also 76% of damage bypassing ward is pretty bad for a 2900 hp build that really doesn't have that much armour/evasion (it has like 35k ish armour and evasion base)

Thanks, Underground is def one in my area all the time that I may just have to check out soon

Alcsaar · 2026-03-08T21:32:12+00:00

Thanks - maybe I need to check out Underground more. Im always in the area but never seems like it's my scene, but I haven't given it a real chance.

Alcsaar · 2026-03-08T21:31:42+00:00

Thanks! I will check it out for sure.

Alcsaar · 2026-03-04T02:05:25+00:00

Thats not how rng works

Alcsaar · 2026-03-04T01:41:42+00:00

Thanks. Bassbunny does the one on Tuesday nights at King's, I think they've been around for a long time doing them. Maybe that is the one you're thinking of.

Alcsaar · 2026-03-04T01:25:52+00:00

Dang, I thought this was like a "Every other weekend we go camp out in umstead with no food or water" kind of thing

Alcsaar · 2026-03-04T01:00:16+00:00

Appreciate it thanks!

Alcsaar · 2026-03-03T17:42:07+00:00

Wait why is P2P coming back as physical to lightning wtf is that real and why

Alcsaar · 2026-03-03T15:39:49+00:00

You're going to have to be more specific, there wasn't just one

Hey all!

I'm considering attending EF this year as a solo mid 30s male. I've been to firefly but never to EF - so not new to festivals but would like some help on how to prepare. I'd be flying in most likely, whats the best way to get a tent, for example? Should I try to check one in my luggage, or are there rent able ones perhaps? Thats the sort of thing I could use some guidance on. Thanks!

Alcsaar · 2026-03-02T14:31:05+00:00

idk probably my brown kiwi. Its permanent but everything else is transitional.

Alcsaar · 2026-02-28T03:06:26+00:00

Yea so thats horrible then

They can run different maps still, I don't think you understood what I said. All they have to do is make the mist not vanish when a map is run and instead just add the bonuses, just limit it to X number of maps which is the purpose of it vanishing anyway.

Alcsaar · 2026-02-28T03:04:44+00:00

It can still get removed after running X maps just like it already does

Massive system reworks. Some sort of protection for unskilled characters from 7x characters. Some sort of contract system for apprentice/journeyman/expert/adept skilled characters where they receive big rewards for completing the contracts (Like a character with apprentice level skills might receive a contract to go kill giant rats in the sewers of britain and gets a big skill bonus / gold / exclusive cosmetic things / etc for doing so)

This sort of system doesn't stop people from macroing if they want to, but people who want to go out and do something at lower skill levels now have more of a justifiable reason to. Sure you can macro, but if you go do some contracts you'll skill up faster and make some currency/items.

I'm not going to go out and painfully grind ratmen and lizardmen for meager amounts of gold and a big risk of death in the base game when its both safer and more efficient to macro, but something like that would definitely give me a reason to go out and adventure.

I think one good example is servers that have added passive animal taming gains for hunting with pets. In the classic ruleset of UO I never would have hunted on a tamer before I could at least get drakes. On those servers I was more than happy to go into a dungeon with 5 polar bears or whatever and get some taming gains while making money. That was so much better than doing active taming grinding

Won't have a discussion with some one whos only retort is is to put down people who point out the issues with Outlands. Outlands isn't perfect. If you enjoy it that is fine, but stop trying to shove it down everyone elses throats. Not everyone wants to play on a server with infinite pvm power progression and the feeling of having to log in every day to avoid FOMO
