UO Second Age

My friend summoned a daemon on his boat that killed me. When he cast dispell on it, it killed him. Shouldnt he have poofed and been gone?

dispel can be resisted, ev's and higher summons resist it fairly test it out. even has a spell graphic when its resist

yeah i kinda figured thats what happened, but I thought for some reason that the one who summoned can dispel it 100% of the time.

You can just release it.

release it

hahaha, the things that can happen in UO.

On a similar note, at what point did summoned creatures start saying "Summoned" by them? I know at some point summoned pets didn't say that because I would rename my Deamon to scare people off.

That's a great question. I don't remember them having this tag in era either. Will look into this.

This is what the demo shows:

after we were both dead, i told him to release it. It didnt work. He tried renaming it even and still didnt work. Apparently they dont take orders from dead masters. they must have low SS lol.

On this note, I never recall (tame) tags either...or things like (guarded) poping up.

Is this a client thing perhaps?

I agree. The (summoned) and (guarded) and (tame) tags are NEA according to my memory.

I am skeptical of (frozen) as well.

Frozen is another that isn't. For example, corpsers never said 'frozen'. In fact, these 'labels' are something I don't recall seeing until I started on free shards. So I would even be willing to bet they are post UO:R (or late UO:R).

I scanned some patch notes but didn't find anything

The tame tag as show in the image above is from 1998 OSi, but other screenshots from era have verified these tags. I'm not sure about (summoned).
