Coming from UO: Forever

[irNathaniel]

Im sure most people will be playing 2+ shards.

As you can macro etc... Multiple clients, I do, But UOSA is my favorite and the one I'm currently putting most time into.

Well man, all I can say is this, back in osi days, I played from late 97ish to early early 2002ish. Without sounding conceding, I was really good at second age pvp/mechanics, but when uor came out I probably became one of the top 2 fighters on the shard with those mechanics. BUT, I thought they sucked, it was so boring. How many fights can you spam harm magic arrow and poison? I just thought it was retarded. Now, granted, dexxers were a ton more fun, but other than the lumberjack axer I thought they got boring as well. Yes here its MOSTLY hally mages, but its just a more fun fight style. Not to mention, the last tournament that was held vinitrex won with a hybrid and he beat 3 top tier haly mages to do it, so you can play other templates that are viable. Uor was te beginning of the end for uo, IMO. Trammel was obviously a huge part of it, but so was the shitty mechanics that were also a big part of the downfall. It can get stale here without events, without expansions etc; but, I'm a pvper, and you won't find better pvp style then here at uosa. So honestly if your a pvper come here. If you like trammy style pvm, crafting n crap, then maybe uof is better for you.

Good post. Thank you.

Can someone refresh my memory on how magic reflection worked in T2A? Was this before or after the spam-magic-reflect-after-every-time-a-spell-is-cast time? Here, every fight is led off with Magic Arrow. Are there no "Circles/Levels of Magic Reflect" based on your Magery, Resist, or Inscription? That is, magic reflect would block partial spells.

No one spams reflect. Cause in this shard, 1 magic arrow will remove it. So spamming reflects a waste of mana

During the T2A era, reflect would be removed by a single spell, unlike UOR where reflect would protect you from a certain number of "circles" of spells before being brought down. Also, unlike UOR, it is possible to have reflect, reactive armor, and protection on at the same time.
