UO Second Age

This is an unofficial "to do" list of changes for the shard. I will edit consistently to add/remove items approriately. Players are welcome to reply with other confirmed upcoming changes that have pre existing topics and a link to that topic. This topic is not for discussing changes, just simply keeping an organised documentation of things known.

Items highlighted in orange are still up for further discussion.

I'll work in categories etc. for further organisation once the list grows.

Pack creature AI
Pack creature spawns should all have the same target when attacking (hell hounds, ice isle orcs)

Ressurrection limit
Should only be able to resurrect a maximum of 5 times in 20 minutes. Every 20 minutes a ressurection count is removed.

Forensic Evaluation and Perma grey
Should be able to use forensic evaluation to reveal if a thief is perma-gray.

Weapon qualities and Vendor Display Price
All weapons should vary slightly in qualities (even exceptional to exceptional). Vendor's prices would depend on the item's damage, accuracy and durability. Players would be able to find out more about an item used the Item ID skill

Skill gain
Skill gains should be affected by the amount others are trying to gain in a similar skill.

Perma red
After going red a certain number of times, players should become permanently red.

Remove party and guild chat systems
http://forum.uosecondage.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8003

Incognito
Guild titles and abbreviations should not display when incognito.
http://forum.uosecondage.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8335

Radiating damage
Certain monsters should damage you when you stand too close.
http://forum.uosecondage.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8674

"You must wait for that spell to have an effect."
This message should appear during a spell recovery delay.

"You are already casting a spell."
This message should appear anytime a spell target is active when trying to cast a spell instead of only while the casting animation is active.

Stables
Stables are suppose to "virtually" stable the pets with in the closest stablemaster(unless you use "name" stable instead for a specific stablemaster) instead of the stable itself. All stablemasters should become invulnerable.

Murderers kicked out of O/C
If you are a member of an order or chaos guild, and become a murderer you'll be removed from the guild

Guild alignment flagging
All members of guilds of the same alignment will appear green, and can also be freely attacked.

Can you add guildchat and the party system to the list, theres a thread about it somewhere in suggestions.

There is no need for further discussion about Guild and Party chat.

# Added guild and alliance chat

* Use “\” for guild chat
* Use “|” (shift + “\”) for alliance chat
* Guild and alliance chat color and ignore toggles added to options gump

It's pretty clear why it shouldn't be highlighted orange and the only reason one would say otherwise is for contentious purposes only. Thanks.

This is a great idea Hemperor! Here's my addition to make the "Unofficial To-Do List" better!

I think that this:

Should be highlighted orange, only because that thread has a total of 5 posts, and the discussion seems to still be in its infancy.

Also, I know you already stated that you plan on organizing this list by category once it gets larger, but just to add to the pool of ideas; What about an overall oganization of importance, and speed/ease to implement certain changes? We all know certain suggestion will take longer then others.

Keep up the good work this is good stuff!

Skill delay should be 10 seconds.

Isn't Poisoning still under debate??

Man i wish there was a website that kept track of the stealth patches.

• Stables are suppose to "virtually" stable the pets with in the closest stablemaster(unless you use "name" stable instead for a specific stablemaster) instead of the stable itself.
• "You are already casting a spell." message should appear anytime a spell target is active when trying to cast a spell instead of only while the casting animation is active.
• The "You must wait for that spell to have an effect." message should appear during a recovery delay.
• Spell animations needs to be slowed down being adjusted to the demo speed.
• Cutting cloth into bandages should only create one bandage at a time instead of the whole stack the scissors are used on. - http://update.uo.com/design_321.html

Also, the replies in this thread related to the items in the main list should be deleted after being written down in the original thread to keep it from getting too cluttered to read.

Can we see the resource/citation for this?

I think all things on this list should have a citation and/or the link to the UOSA discussion.

Bottles should stack in your pack upon use and not go on the ground. .

I will run that by Derrick, majority of the changes already have been except for the ones Faust just posted. It is sort of general knowledge, however I would prefer if people would make topics first about changes that way I have something to link discussions to.

I can't find the old thread that had the stable talk in it... However, Derrick knows that this information was brought to him a long time ago. Here is a post that I written in trash talk several weeks ago. I don't think it's appropriate to link trash talk URL's.

Faust wrote:I'm assuming that you meant if localization was transfered from the stables to the stablemaster, right? Stables are already localized in UO Second Age for accuracy.

Here is some info in regard for when stablemasters were made invulnerable...

Probably the best thing to happen to stablehands since they were all made invulnerable almost a year ago. It will make searching for a lost stablehand much easier once it gets put on a live shard.

Stablemasters were made invulnerable because people would kill them in town wiping out entire inventories of stabled pets. The stablemasters inside of town is accurate, but the stablemasters outside of guard limits in player towns should not be invulnerable.

I will look for the information and edit this post if I happen to find it...


Also, the casting messages was verified through "general knowledge", screenshots, and the demo.

Okay, Faust I'd recommend you open a topic with what you just posted here for the stable thing. Might as well, that way I can have a link there so there won't be any further discussions about it here.

I believe another thing on the docket is that Reds aren't allowed in Chaos/Order
