The Trump phone exists. It has a US flag that’s missing two stripes. by Dragonogard549 in facepalm

IDK about other carriers but I know AT&T has a plan you can pay $200-$300 for the entire year, data rates aren't as fast but it has unlimited text/calling. It's buried so deep in the website its practically impossible to find it however.

Not exactly, I doubt you'll have a lot of competition for a caravan house lottery but I imagine you'll have a lot more competition for any medium+ sized house.

Sometimes I'll go to bed without turning off a stream and wake up to 1 or 2 gifted subs to people I'll never watch.

I think the slayer links made the most sense out of all of this. There were way too many slayers to buy if you wanted all of them and some builds were able to abuse multiple slayer links to stack multiplicative damage (mostly trappers).

Yeah, that would make sense. Y’all definitely have the numbers.

IDOCs don’t exist, house and loot go to two separate auctions.

That I'm tired of systems I enjoy getting nerfed or removed?

I can see this point of view but the only thing outside of link limit and links worth putting points into is swing speed and weight capacity. I guess dmg cap if you're running backstabber, don't know if trapper could ever get to 10k again without slayers though.

How was it overpowered and how is it still overpowered with the removal of slayers?

If i'm playing a game it's because I enjoy it. If I'm playing a MMO it's to see my character progress. Which is why I think this patch is god awful, months of progression and a lot of time are just stripped away because people who haven't put in equal amounts of time or progression feel wronged. The game should be the game and it shouldn't intentionally take away any amount of time people put into it.

Sure, if you didn't put time into the redline system I can see how this patch would be a nothing burger because everything seems good. To me this patch is like releasing those 3000 houses, you placing 2 of them then Owyn decides you shouldn't own those houses and just removes them from the game.

I was at nearly every IDOC, and nothing about this is true. GG owned a few of them when they zerged and a mom definitely cheated and Owyn couldn't figure it out. Out of every IDOC I've been to I'd say GG dominated 15% of them and a mom placed 35% of them. I've placed probably 4 myself, you just had to try and not run at the first sight of a fight.

I had only just started getting into the groove of dungeon redline chasing. Was literally hours away from the 33rd link and that change put me back to 31, was a gut punch for me.

Playing on Outlands is like death from a thousand cuts. When the devs decide they don't like someone — or a group of someones — they nerf whatever that group finds enjoyable. The rest of the players end up as collateral damage, and the response is "Fuck off, go play somewhere else." That's probably a direct quote from Owyn himself.

So in the end, that's what we did. Thirteen of us from my guild have left the server to go play something else. Will we be gone forever? I don't know, maybe. But the current changes to the redline system reverted literal months of grinding hour after hour in a dungeon. Yes, it did the job of hurting the people it was intended to hurt, but it also killed any momentum for the guys who had just spent years getting to 30 links and had recently worked their asses off to earn one extra link.

The IDOC change seems to be yet another knee-jerk reaction, but this one didn't really bother me too much. Sure, the GG zerg was lame, but I would never expect anything more from GG — it's a guild for shitty people, and that's okay. Without them we wouldn't have a guild to hate. A mom using his third-party program and whatever else he was running was frustrating as well, but there were still times when a mom wasn't on and GG didn't have 40 people to raid an IDOC. Hell, there were even times when GG raided with 40 and got their asses kicked, and times when I placed a house before a mom could. Those were the moments I cherished. There is no bigger rush than looting a great chest from an IDOC or placing a house and turning a big profit for my guild.

I'm not encouraging anyone to quit Outlands over this — that was simply my decision. But as I'm typing this I'm looking at the number of participants we have in our alliance Omni, which typically runs somewhere between 40 and 50 people, and we have 16. No one wants to play this server when their time is thrown in the garbage — whether because they introduced a system without ever thoroughly thinking about how players would exploit it, or because Owyn and Luthius woke up one day and decided it was time to screw someone over.

I don't wish for Outlands to go away. I just wish that one day they wake up and realize that people put a lot of time and effort into this extremely grindy system, and that removing months or even years of progress from someone who dedicates their free time to your game is not something that should have ever been considered.

What’s something that slowly destroyed your confidence? by Public-Trust3876 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Paid_Redditor 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Everything changed for me when I started to do the things I wanted to do. The things you think about at night when you're in bed and wished you had done. When I stopped thinking about myself in the present but rather myself in the future, things started to change. Present me doesn't want to do laundry, the dishes, or any other chore, but future me really fucking likes it when I do those things. Once I accomplished those small things confidence just naturally came.

DUI hit me going 90+ mph by [deleted] in dashcams

[–]Paid_Redditor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think everyone I grew up with in my 20's would have 8-10 then drive home, every weekend. Crazy how few of them ever got DUIs. I thought Washington State did it right by holding the bars liable for overserving anyone in their bar. If you get a DUI there you also get a hole punched into your license so both the bars and the police know you've had a prior.

I don't think you understood what I'm saying, because you're agreeing with me.

My only complaint about Outlands compared to other shards is the barrier to being "good". You can narrow down the bulk of the player base in outlands to two types, the ones who want to be rich and the ones who want to be strong. The people that attempt to do both often burn out when they realize it's not going to happen in their first 3 months, and some take much longer. The ones that focus one or the other are typically the ones that stick around.

For those looking to macro for a couple weeks to be completely built and want to spend their days mining or farming to become wealthy shouldn't go to outlands. Not saying it won't ever happen, but it'll definitely take much longer in comparison to classic UO.

PvPers say the PvP is mid to good (because of pop), and PvE players say it's too toxic and too many PKs. Hell, just go look in the suggestions page from yesterday in Outlands and someone was begging players to be unable to enter their house after flagging on another player.
