UO Second Age

so apparently swing on the run was patched in yesterday for both dexers and tank mages was this a accidentally thing like when we had 0 object delay for like two years? or is this going to stay ? not complaining just currious

Well i dont see a patch note.

Best change in a while, many people have already come back to play and I'm sure many more will as word gets around.

I hope it's not reverted back to the old way, if it is all the people who came back are going to quit again.

Is this for real? I haven't tested it yet cuz I am powergaining all my lil men that need it but....you can hit while actually moving now? No more having to trap someone in a corner or constantly trying to "cut them off" and get in front of their path of movement?


If so...cool. I think it is a good change even though I usually play a mage guy.

It's good for warriors AND mages.

Now warrior aren't useless and now mages are less painful to play as well. People with low ping will do better with this change too. It has something to do with run/stopping a lot causing desync.

"It has something to do with run/stopping a lot causing desync." i have like 20 30 ms ping or so sometimes higher and well i desynced alot yesterday this is also a huge annoyance for people with higher ping and i am not sure how i feel about this connection advantage now definitely can swing on the run and move before someone else does

Someone please translate this to English, I cant tell what the hell he is trying to say.

Swing on the run is an excellent feature. I am very happy to see it implemented.

How is this any different for people with poor connections?? They already had trouble catching up to hit someone, which was made worse by the fact that they had to stop to restart their swing timer. Tank mages can still do the horse-trot around dexers to avoid getting hit (due to teleporting), so nothing has changed there. I'm also not desyncing anymore than normal...

i am saying i noticed how i was desyncing a lot more and heard of a lot more people having desync issues yesterday.

I talked with Derrick about this briefly today and there have been no intentional changes to combat. If anything has changed, we should expect that it will return to normal soon.

This affected the server's pvp community in a positive manner, please don't revert it back or people are going to quit again and we're back to square one.

There was quite a bit of action last night and early in the day, we shouldn't take that all away by bringing this back in.

This happened to save the server, please don't revert it back or people are going to quit again and we're back to square one.

No pvp population, no one playing dexers, everyone just playing tournies.

There was quite a bit of action last night and early in the day, do you want to take all that away?

Unfortunately, the issue, as always, is the accuracy of the system.

there are some things that may not 100% proven era accurate but a huge misstake by staff back on osi.
why on mother earth should derrick change it back when there is clearly 10x more action on the server since SOTR happend?

i used my dexer the first time after 1 1/2 years and had fun playing him, its also way more fun to play a mage now and a good balance between ppl with laag and ppl with good con.

if you rechange this, ull do nothing but hurt the community with a hardcore asskick.

also gj lelouche your mom would be proud of you

Sick change! Dexxing actually feels right now.

? why is everyone so mad i asked a simple question if a change that had gone in place was intended or not, are you suggesting that i should say nothing and let said change happen with 0 patch notes ? sounds like bunch of people that don't report mistakes / exploits and bugs if i didn't post this someone else would of and consider the majority of you dislike me i figured oh i don't really care either way but i am not going to waste my time adjusting to changes and adjusting my templates for said changes with 0 patch notes and no guarantee they are staying in.
