UO Second Age

There are many known required changes that I personally think take a couple minutes to implement each, I know there are more maybe you guys can help me list them. I think they should all be done at once, as I said they are easy, some require core changes and don't really fit into other major patches.

Remove party and guild chat to eliminate inaccurate pvp bots.
Snooping should reveal while stealthed.
Remove guild titles and abbreviations when incognitoed.
Refreshing a boat/house should happen on the double click function instead of actually opening the door.
Action delay needs to be 1 second instead of 0.75s.

Please only post small, confirmed required changes.

Clicking on your character while hidden should display your name.

Seriously? Snooping revealed during this era? That sounds utterly crazy. I've never heard of that before. Not saying it's inacurate, but I hope that never comes true.

I found it here.

But it's listed under stealth. So If you rehid before snooping will it still reveal you? Because then you wouldnt actually be stealthed.

If random small things are to be added please dont forget dyed bolts on tailor NPC`s.

I don't recall snooping ever revealing.
Agreed, there was no party or guild chat back in T2A
Yeah, not sure why that was set so you couldn't click yourself once to see name while hidden, but it should be there.
Correct again.

I thought we confirmed it, I will remove snooping revealing for now and link the old topic in a sec when I dig it up.

Interesting, I just don't remember it being like that when I used my thief. They must have changed that late into T2A right before UO:R came out maybe?

Not that I have any love for thieves to begin with.

While I agree its inaccurate, it wont eliminate pvp bots. Its trivial to send commands to other windows; slightly more complicated sending them to other computers' windows.

I only remember failed snooping attempts revealing you...

Any other form of communicating with clients is deemed illegal (and most are incapable of it anyways).

I know there's like a hundred other 2 line changes that I just can't think of right now, anyone?

A member of the thieves guild should not show their "professional" title to other players.

It should say "The scoundrel Somebody"

If they are level 4 fame,

"The Glorious Somebody"

but a member of the thieves guild should never display "grandmaster something"

Currently we all show up as newbie characters, no pre or post title.

- Refreshing a boat/house should happen on the double click function instead of actually opening the door.
- Action delay needs to be 1 second instead of 0.75s.
- Default tabbing throttle needs to be removed including the same one that was added to the action delay.
- Equip casting needs to be added.


I know there are plenty more that isn't coming to me right now, but will add them as they come.

Huh? I'm specifically talking about 3rd party hotkey programs, its a real stretch to consider those illegal.

Again, the party/guild chats are not accurate. Just don't expect removing them to have any impact on bots.

I'll add the first two, the other two I'm sure will fall under the upcoming PVP overhaul. Looking for small changes that don't really fit into any upcoming big patches.

Fix it so NPCs don't act like you *always* have negative karma. I have multiple chars with positive karma that get the "thou hast strayed from the path of virtue" message upon res. Two of those have +5 level karma/4th row fame and NPCs do not react accordingly.

I think it has something to do with the fact that at some point I had negative karma, from raising dex with snooping.
