Bolas?

Can we see these implemented?
* We aim to replicate the T2A era as best we can and within technical limitations as a whole.
* We do not intend to ever change any aspect of normal gameplay to particularly favor any playstyle or to protect or further expose any players to the in-game risk that was a large part of this era.
* We will especially not pull aspects of other eras into this one, even with an overwhelming demand of players.

It was before UO:R for sure, because people were farming moonstones like they were going out of style.tekai wrote:Honestly though becuase our Era date was moved to Nov 99, when exactly did the Orcs with tribal green masks, trammel stones with no use (at the time) and bola balls drop?
it WAS before UOR, becuase it was a teaser, our date is only a few weeks from UOR.

Moonstones will be found on various monsters. The exact nature and functionality of these items will be detailed at a later time.

The all follow seems to work right though

The patch note for this has already been listed in the past and definitely isn't a stealth nerf..April 10th 2000 - http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.computer.ultima.online/browse_thread/thread/151d404b09a8df9e/73325b202b05bc5c?lnk=gst&q=%22all+kill%22#73325b202b05bc5c wrote: I will tell you there is a bug with the 'all kill' command, it only works on
one pet no matter how many pets you have. You could have a 1000 dragons and

That the ignorant GC SOBs, don't know this kind of stuff makes me think it
is a faked screen shot.
So even if the screen shot wasn't faked, IT IS COMPLETELY POINTLESS TO HAVE
THAT MANY DRAGONS! I can't put it any plainer or more emphatic then that,
the dozens of dragons thing DOES NOT WORK!!!! It is a fake, it is a hollow
threat, it isn't real. I fall back to my original comment that this is just
a hysterical response and add: Pobably doctered screen shot.
It is that simple, tame two dogs, give the all kill command on a rabbit, see
how many attack.
I can accept a certain level of ignorance, I can accept a certain level of
disagreement. I draw the line when something is a demonstrable as checking
out the all kill command being broken that can be done in 2 minutes is
ignored so people can say the sky is falling. All guard does work, but
anyone that is guarded has that appearing over their head.
Kaivan mentioned before that this list of commands denote all targetable commands since those function only works for your closest pet when the command is spoken. The google comments above is from June '99, November '99, and April '00 which are before our cutoff , on our cutoff, and after our cutoff before the UOR publish in late April '00.New tinkering menu, pets, auto-stacking, and more.

For example, saying, "all follow me" will make all your pets follow you. The list of commands this works with is:
all follow me
all guard me
all come
all stay
all guard me
all stop
This was written inside of the t2a reputation FAQ back in '98.Reputation Guide - http://update.uo.com/repfaq/pets.html wrote:How does pet guarding work in the new system?
Issuing the guard command sets you as the pet's controller for the duration of the guarding plus an additional 2-minutes after the pet stops guarding. Guarded items will have the word [Guarded] put over them. Using a guarded item (like a door) or taking a guarded item will flag the perpetrator as a Criminal. The pet guarding the item will automatically attack the perpetrator flagging both you and your pet as Aggressors (to the perpetrator). If the pet kills the perpetrator you cannot be reported because the perpetrator is a Criminal.
like that quote for example.It takes a monumental effort to raise taming to the point where Kill orders are
obeyed quickly. So even All Kill now works, and if a pk could get his 7
dragons to all follow him into a gate at once, and see you before you tossed an
EV into them (in which case they do not see you as the attacker, so they fight
with it instead) and you KOP'd, and he ordered ALL KILL, you'd have a pretty
good chance that half or more would ignore the order, and just get in the way
of the others.
Teleporting bears please!No, 1 bug with taming, the teleporting bears. Take them away and game
> is pretty balanced.
Heh. I had my tamer/ranger on SP a few nights ago. A twink was screwing
with me so I had my griz kill him. Damn if the griz didn't turn around
and kill me. I'd say it's pretty balanced but I'd like to see that bug
removed alright ...
