    How to use deceit as a thief.

    Do not have any light items that can be lifted out of your pockets when you log out. Or Lashaniqua will surely find and take them a split-second before your logout timer runs out. :)

    Pepper spray

    Looking at the first two posters' forum profiles, both were created on the same day two months ago, both made only two posts, and all two posts were in response to each other's threads about gambling addiction and pepper spray. I'm sure it's pure coincidence. :LOL:

    Rework mastery system and switch it off meanwhile

    I also dislike the new Mastery system, the clade system was good enough as a grind, the last thing we need is more of it. Also, the amount of powers that one can get from maxing it out is a little excessive. I feel that it is turning MO2 into a different kind of game.

    A Very Old Ultima Online Ad - SV Please Take Note

    It may look that way, but all SV really needs to do is add a whole bunch of social and 'life' features such as tabletop games, musicianship, town message boards, more world interactivity like in Ultima 7: The Black Gate. The players will do the rest and make MO2 that little closer to what UO...

    Any Thievery Skills On That Mastery Tree?

    Thievery needs to be the first item on Sprint 1 of the next roadmap. They've kept all of us (thieves and non-thieves) waiting long enough. They can simply lift thievery straight out of MO1, make some tweaks and improvements to it, and release it.

    A Very Old Ultima Online Ad - SV Please Take Note

    It was an interesting time for the PC for sure, I saw computers having a 3.5 inch floppy drive, a hard disk drive around 200 mb, and an 8x speed CD drive.

    A Very Old Ultima Online Ad - SV Please Take Note

    By today's standards it may be. But keep in mind that this was back in the day when not many people have played, let alone know, what an mmorpg is even. An Internet connection was still a relatively new household item, running on 5-6 kilobytes per second.

    A Very Old Ultima Online Ad - SV Please Take Note

    This was purportedly an ad for UO from way back in 1998, some of us were probably not even born at that time. But something about the ad caught my eye, how the narrator framed the whole concept of what UO was. It talked about a world of player interaction, creativity, relationships, emotions...

    RMT

    There is no quick fix for RMT, it is a rampant industry that affects every mmorpg I know of. The best SV can do is active monitoring and cross-referencing of player activity to detect and ban those who engage in it. The fact of the matter is, if there is a demand for something, human nature...

    FPS HELP! please

    Not saying this is the root cause nor that it will fix the problem, but another thing you might want to do is check for any signs of thermal throttling. Too much heat might force the system to dial back the performance.

    Glory for Other Than Kills?

    Would be a good idea. Maybe when gathering ore or wood, if we receive a precious gem or rock, can also gain ~100 glory. Other ways could include taming dangerous wildlife on a one-off basis per creature. After all, we do have to take them down to mercy mode first, which may be challenging...

    How much int needed to do decent heals?

    Int is worth it if you're into crafting or related skills that give bonus skill points based on the attribute. Coupled with the insane amount of clades designed to give humans even more profession skill points, you get to play semi-self sufficiently on one character. But I digress.

    Weapon Durability

    The threshold for melee weapon damage reduction has been reduced to 20% durability in the latest patch, down from 50% previously. "Balance Changes Bows now start to lose damage when below 20% durability. Like melee weapons." Source...

    Why I Don't Play MO2

    I think for your first point, we already have that. On my character, for example, I can make soft armours, shields, blades and horse gear. I could specialise, or be a generalist. But not be both. For Your second point, the higher tier gatherables and materials require specialisation, so that...

    Need help with character build

    Solo player here. The game has preset builds now, though if that does not help, pure Tindremene could be an option, as they can be hybrid fighter mages. Alvarins may be another option, they have some nice abilities and do well as mages.

    Give option to change character voice

    I think having a voice selector of variations based on your chosen race at character creation is fine, as is a one-off change for existing characters. But changing the voice at will and to different racial voices is a bit too jarring. Changing of names probably isn't something that SV will...

    Foraging Tasks Are Broken

    While I appreciate the new foraging tasks, the system is broken in its current form, in my opinion. Take for instance, gathering sea dew is 6km away from Fabernum, and the reward is something like 30 silvers and 20 glory. That is not rewarding nor worthwhile to any player, veteran or newcomer...

    Announcement | Monthly Dev Stream Change

    I think it would be good if Henrik can continue to stream bi-weekly but keep them shorter instead of going for hours on end. People like myself simply don't have the time to watch such long livestreams even if he were to do it once a month.
