What I hate about UO!

Post by Tribecca »

Even though this is, by far, my favorite game, there are things that so [anger] me sometimes. So I decided to start a thread.

1) I HATE IT when a drop has these super awesome mods like Damage Increase 47%, Life Leech 50%, Mana Leech 50%, Luck 95, Swing Speed Increase 30%, +15 to all the resists, Spell Channeling, Hit Chance Increase 25% etc. and it ends up on say, A PICKAXE or a SKINNING KNIFE! grrrrrr. Granted, a pretty worthless item, but gets me anyway. :P

Anyone wanna share?

mmm i do like this game, have come back to it time and time again over the years.. OSI was the usual spot but Excelsior has become my home now.. however i do agree there are things that i can't stand about it.. my biggest one..

1) i hate it when your out fishing up SOS and you pull treasure after treasure before the chest... thinking "yay" its a level 3 (cause most level 3s have lots of sunken treasures before it) and it ends up being another level 1 .. UGH!

I absolutely understand. There is a way out though!

If the weapon actually turns out to be a great one, that's what the 200 ED weapon type change is for.
When you think about it, 6mil is really a small price to pay compared to the luck involved in getting another copy of a truly perfectly-statted item, especially if we're talking 58%-magnitude peerless drops.

On top of that, you don't see certain weapon types drop (like the yumi for example, of course there are crafted/artifact versions of it but never random magic statted dropped ones), so the only way to get a 6x58% item of that type is to get the stats you want on any normally dropping weapon and then change it.
