possibly removing public chat

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Sun Dec 30, 2007 12:41 am

As I don't really have time to start moderating that, and its open to various nasties, such as vulgar language, or people advertising, I decided I will remove it. Just giving a heads up before. That can be done in game so it wont require a reboot.

Man, that thing was awesome, and alot used by everyone.
Big loss to the playerbase if youre really going to do this

in my oppinion it benefits more than it does harm, so keep it

i agree. when people log on, they usually use global chat to try to get people together to pvm, or pvp. without it its harder for some to communicate, and i think it would put us at a loss. It's true that people can be vulgar or spam for other servers, but that is on every server regardless of global chat, and I think it should stay.

The thing with chat vs forum is if someone logs on to the shard for their first time and they see that, they'll be turned off. On the forum Doc was referring to someone using it, so its a bit different. Normally on the forum I would just delete the post if someone was using it blatantly.

I'll see how hard it is to put a filter, but people will just find ways around them anyway so it may last a whole month, if that.

ok here's what I did, by default new players wont be in the chat channel, but I added a book at gate library to show how to join the channel, and theres a warning that its unmoderated. I also added some filters, but those only go so far until people start doing nigg3r and stuff. I don't have time to sit there and think of every possible l33t way to spell each bad word.

Also I just did a cleanup. Lets just forget about the "incident" but at same time this is a warning that harassment, racism etc... is not tollerated.

Archers still need slown down. How many people can shoot a bow as fast as they can swing a weapon?

Archers swing speed cap is currently 0.5 seconds slower than a dexxer (1.75s vs. 1.25s).

actually melee is 1.5 But I would love to have it 1.25 TBH. Makes up with having to get right next to someone. It is the only PvP skill that requires you to be 1 tile away.

actually I had an idea for melee, swords, fencing and mace are pretty much the same but they have different weps, but they all hit hard, and they all hit fast. So what would be neat is making swords hit hard, but slower - so keep the cap at 1.50, have fencing hit less hard, but faster - so cap at 1.25, then could figure out something for mace, maybe keep cap at 1.5 but remove damage cap, so they'd be good for the damage, but slower. Maybe even 1.75 considering you'd get rediculously high damage hits out of those weps.

Something to think about more deeply though, and I'd run a poll and what not. I was reading a post on stratics about that and it peaked my interest.

How many people can shoot fireballs at their hands?

Lets not start comparating game and real world, as it obivously wont go that way.

I can do MA spam with a paper clip and a decent amount of voltage.

If you slow archers down then make it mandatory to have tactics to use all weapon specials.

You should thank God that you can not shoot 3 arrows at once on UO every 2 seconds.

Was kinda talking about IRL. It's fun to triple shots like that. If you are well trained, at least two of them will hit.

the native americans were told to be able to have 6 arrows in flight before the first one hit its mark. For reference, read Ishi, it is a true story of the last real native american. In the end it has some documentation on the amazing archery ability that the native americans had.
