idk i've played on prolly all the big time shards on Gateway and shoot even all the small player base shards so i've seen just about everything... I'd like to see the ML dungeons active soon cuz i've never hunted or seen in any... heh.. been playing uo b4 Aos even came out and idk its just a fun game to me... but anyways...

-1 handed bows, where you can equip a shield also with it

and is it not possible to have 2 accounts ever?

I don't think there was ever a bow that was created that has a shield attachment. The only one I ever saw was an assyrian chariot bow that had a cover for the drawing hand....And that was no bigger than the hand and wrist....So could never be called a shield for your purposes.
Archers would situate themselves behind cover to act as a shield.
That would be the best you could do

As an aside....A shield is technically a weapon in its own right.
The Boss on most shields from the time of the Romans onward was used as a punching weapon.....on many later shields sharpened bits of metal were fixed to parts of the rim to act as a second blade that could be sashed at close enemies

lol... didnt mean to have a history lessson.. i mean "feature requests" meaning.. i was requesting that maybe they could put a custom script in where you can equip a bow and a shield... either yes or no thats all i was looking for

well, maybe, if it's a non-levelable non-repairable, but does half the damage a regular bow does, maybe with swing speed decrease? I think it's technically possible to have a shield&bow in your left hand, and fire with your right hand... but you'd probably completely miss half the time, because the shield is heavy and you need a light arm to hold the bow.

Hmmm....Apologies all round there folks....
No idea why I put the 'Brief history of the shield' lesson in there..

Call it a brief los of sanity.....Thats what I'm going to do....

lol its kool.. idk im just throwing in ideas to maybe make this shard more unique so people ( like myself ) will stop comparing it to others

This shard is still very new and I believe it more important to get the basics down first before making it more unique. Whats the point of it being unique if the basics are crap? Wouldnt be fun at all then. Colibri, I bet, has great ideas already cooked up to make this shard unique. Stuff just takes time, especially with the somewhat small staff and even smaller scripters that are here now. There is hardly a week that goes by, two at most, that something is added to this shard to make it more fun.
No reason to compare it to other shards, let it come into its own.

considering Fel was made for pvp... why not make it pvp? I understand that this is a non pvp shard but UO has always had pvp in it and Fel was made for pvp... lmao what the hell is the point in having Trammel and Fel without either one with pvp???? its pointless remove fel if you cant pvp...

and factions?? if factions are not impleted why have the faction stones where you can steal the sigil??? pointless again

Post by **+Colibri** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 12:24 pm

well as soon as there exists the ability to attack a player, people are going to do it. And i believe people are going to camp spawns and then kill whoever comes near, which will lead to alot of anger.

There's the PVP dungeon - go southwest of brit bank (1 screen) - the guard tower - go thru the gate there. Read the rules. If you agree to them, you can proceed to the dungeon. We picked an extra big one so you can have some fun hiding and such.

for factions... if there's no pvp (in general) i dont think it's any special that we have that... but well if there would be a moderate number of people that would want it, let the staff know and we'll reconsider.

That links to the answer I got when I asked....

Since then we have had a couple of monsters added....
The Umm in Fel...
The abomination and the insane Bioengineer...

And we now have the new champ spawn that has a unique champ ot its head....

I daresay that in the fullness of time will may see more.

unique champ spawn?

Post by **+Colibri** » Sat Jun 03, 2006 5:36 am

yep, a new champ spawn, it's called "frostbite" (copyright Colibri bla bla)

cant tell you where it's at, but well... if it's a champ spawn it's probably in fel. And since it's frostbite it must be somewhere cold :p
