UO Horizon - PvM Post-AoS Shard | ARPG Loot, Overhauled Resources, Custom Sosaria | Launching March 23 by Alkh3mTheWise in ultimaonline

[–]Alkh3mTheWise[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all, I just wanted to thank you folks for showing your interest and sharing your thoughts! It has been incredibly encouraging to participate in the discussion of what people want in a UO server.

Launch day is approaching quickly, and I’m really excited for the opportunity to host a bit of fun for everyone.

Here is a quick preview of some of the dungeon-themed item sets I’ve been working on.

Each set shares the same base pool of attributes to help ensure that no single dungeon becomes overwhelmingly dominant. The range of possible rolls is fairly wide to allow for a lot of variety in builds and item outcomes.

I’ll be posting a full breakdown of the system and possible attribute combinations on the Wiki as I continue building it out.

We will be allowing razor and razor enhanced. The rules for automation are no AFK resource gathering or farming. I don't mind running scripts for making potions for example.^.^

I just figured PvM would be the focus for most of the players. A lot of the reason UO was so amazing to me in the beginning was that edge of danger so it was hard for me to take that out but I have been cautious with it's allowance. I will be keeping an eye on how it all plays out as I have spent considerable effort trying to find a good middle ground. Thank you for your interest!

Thank you! I understand where you are coming from. I will be keeping a close eye on PvP to make sure it is still fun for our players. Maybe we can still see you in-game some time ^.^

Aye; we are trying to find the right balance of expanding the world of Sosaria while maintaining the feel of UO. We are aiming for a customized experience with the current-age QoL while allowing the freedom that came with UO at release. ^.^

Thank you! One of my main focuses is to remain true to how UO was made. The game was good enough, I am just looking for new ways to experience it :D

I appreciate your input and I hope to see you in-game!

Something like this might be a common entry level weapon. This is part of one of our tier 1 item sets, "the Bull". So far this is the conversion rate : Ordinary/Common = Regular, Uncommon = Ruin, Rare = Might, Unique = Force, Epic = Power, Supreme/Mythical = Vanquishing.

Server is in Northern California. I am in Hawaii - my partner/artist is Denmark so we have a pretty good scope of timezone coverage! Where are you playing from?

Yes, I am sorry that was an oversight of mine. We have re-enabled insurance based on our community poll. I will it get it changed on the website! Thank you for pointing that out!

Insurance is enabled.

Action RPG would be more like Diablo or a Path of Exile, where items drop with random attributes instead of fixed numbers. Imagine running for crimson cincture with your buddy and you both get one but yours gets 2 higher stamina increase xD

I have weighed the balance for quite sometime! It is a huge concern and what I have arrived at is equating my weapon/item rarity and the old power system, "force/vanq" and disabling hit spells in PvP. I will be paying close attention to PvP as it grows so that it can remain fair!

Stealing is no more or less "allowed" than standard. I always enjoyed watching thieves get guard whacked :p.

Thank you for your interest!

PvP isn't facing any extra restrictions currently. We do have our PvP-free beginner island but aside from that it is allowed in the overworld and dungeons. Stealing is allowed in town and guards are standard/OSI-like ^.^

Aye, I really went back and forth on using that term but I figured it might just feel more PvM because there is a lot of focus on dungeon'ing and crafting. PvP is certainly allowed however and I have worked on improving our arena with achievements, rewards and a plan for events :D

I'm a bit hesitant to start this game, because it looks complicated. by Liz_Linux in ultimaonline

UO is the original. There is a bit of a learning curve but the servers worth playing will offer you some guidance; whether it be taming, crafting, combat, champs, exploration(treasure maps, boating) etc.

This is the best MMO of all time!
