Anti-Macroing
 

it seems to me that there have been some changes as far as skill gain....if u read the forums then u know what i am talking about.....for some unforseen reason it has been switched to anti-macroing....which basically is really GAY.....i have seen this on other shard....might i add unsuccessful shards at that i really hate this macroing set up and i belive that if this is not a bug and is how the skill gain is going to be here i don't think this shard is goin to take off like some and i hoped it would and i can certinally see this not going towards more pvp but just like regular UO.....the skill gain here was the reason pvp was so prevelant here cause u could make char extreamly fast......but without the help of a skill stone like most test shards have....i really hope this is changed back to the way it was or i can see alot of ppl leaveing really fast......

Well if its true I certainly wont be playing much anymore, if at all :-\

I would continue to play if the playerbase continued to increase because all my desired characters are practically done... But I don't see the playerbase increasing with this new skillgain rules. People want fast an efficient, and if this is no longer possible then I can kiss this shard goodbye.

omgooses you mean you might have to work for something?

its enabled, deal with it.

gg we lose uo >_<

Bad move Majere. Seems every shard I play on has some serious downfall that causes people to no longer want to play... I thought this shard was the exception. What is does this remind me of.....? Oh yea! UO Gamers. I quit after skillgain was made extremely easy - to the point where it was only delaying the inevitable - 7x GM in a couple hours. This shard did exactly the opposite but literally did the same thing.

A better solution would have been to make skill gain slightly harder. If I would have truely known what I was signing up for I wouldn't have invested any of my time here. Then again, its free, so what am I complaining about?

If you want a successful shard give the people what they want... unless its absolutely outrageous. I propose you takes votes on this subject, and see what everyone really wants.

Oh yea... And the other reason, Ryan really was a corrupt bastard :)

Skill gain is still mega fast til you hit 70 and then its normal skill gain from there. Only really diffrance now is you can't stand in one spot or use the same traget over and over to gain.

i am going to have to diagree with u there i have been trying to gain arms lore and ss and we all knwo how easy those r to gain but i gain up to ten in a flash then i don't gain for a long time after that or even if at all......the anti-macro seemts to be right but the skill gain has no bases behind it....i have been trying to do arms lore the past hour almost and i have gain form 0-10 skill points to arms lore and only one stat point.....thought u migth want to know....

i like the new change, cant say the same for my roomie roxan, shes al pissy about it, but oh well, i say deal with it, you gona quit over it? good we dident want you then anyway.

Who is WE? You and the frog in your pocket?

lol that was the funniest thing I've heard all day nice one kyuss

"Who is WE? You and the frog in your pocket?" Omfg you make my day everytime I read one of your posts. I love you Kyuss :)

And another thing about the skill gain: I was hit with over 20 flame strikes, 10 energy bolts, and 10 explosions at 84 resist, and I only gained 0.1... And this was while moving around the whole time.

"we" meening the current player base who is not crying about the Anti-Macroing

GDSMFBS!!!!!

Well, that is freaking great. Every freaking time when someone complained about making the shard harder, Majere/Raist went ahead and do it. Skills, Loot, Spawn, and now macro. Why didn't you just make it like on Siege from the start. Why wait?

same reason why OSI left in the server line skill gain bug?

And all this happened just before I could make my mage. Merry Christmas Kyuss :<

You guys are making a big deal out of nothing. Oh its so freaking hard to move a few tiles or use differant tragets after each gain. Its not like it slower just differant way of gaining.

Yeah, but now those of us who don't have a lot of time to actually play, have to spend it ebolting newbie creatures instead of just being able to go out and explore without worrying about being para ganked or some shit like that. I like exploring when my character can hold it's own, not when it has 66 magery. :(

Especially when I was able to convince a few of my friends to join here because you can macro up yourself a quick start with some hiding, and anatomy, only to have the quit, disappointed.

I agree, skill gain was too easy, but it just shoulda been slowed down at 70+, because, being happy that you finally got 5 or 6x GM on a character is a good feeling, but reliving all the YEARS I spent building characters on OSI shards is not. :(

Whoa, I think you should take a look at your skill gaining scripts, because skill gain is NOT the same. I've been moving lika mofo while trying to gain resist and magery. I casted over 30 flame strikes only getting .2 in gains with magery at 86. I've gained only .2 in resist after hitting myself with all those flame strikes at 75 resist. Before i gained .1 in these skills every other time I casted a spell corresponding to my ability. And after macroing resist on a boat for three hours i've only gained 1.0 at 95. Skill gain is definitly not the same.

I love this. Keep whining and acting like babies. Kyuss, you were gonna make a mage? why? you suck on a mage and on a dexer do yourself a favor and be a faggot merchant it suits you. I hope you all keep pissing and moaning so much that you make Raist mad and he wipes the shard muhahahaha.

after thingking it over i have acceptedthe fact that yes soemthign needed to be done about the macroing....although anti-macroing i personally wouldn't have done......probally jsut slowed it down.....and yes rasit the gainin is not right to say the least i have a never ending boat path and all i do is sail around the world eval my horse and a packey then doing arms lore on 5 or 6 different weps and still no where near the "mega skill gain" it used to be :{

not using even close to enough objects.

Sometimes pissing and whinning is the only way to get what you want... You fucking moron. I think your one of those people that thinks their ego is boosted if they tell other people they bitch, or your one of Majere's bitches. But if you dont piss and whine at anything, all power to you... Hey, having a lifestyle like that reminds me of a person with down syndrome; never mad - always happy. Do you have down syndrome?

whining and bitching is the way to get what you want? thats your philosophy? you sound like one of those spoiled little faggot rich kids that used to get their ass beat all the time back in school. are you still in school? 5th grade? you kids make me laugh.

Does anything really get changed if you dont complain? Think about that, and post again, you dumbass mofo. Lets all accept it and not bitch when the president decides to declare war on his own country.

Lets complain about the price of reagents. Whoever complainted about loot, spawn and macro please make complaint about regeants. Maybe Majere/Raist like you guys and he will change this too. No wait, maybe you guys already have million in the banks, house, bankbox full of reagents and maybe 7x GM so it doesn't matter to you them. Too freakin bad for the new guys.

Majere, if it is not a big deal then why did you put in the anti-macro script?
