I have to agree with Blaise's previous post, I have two dexxers, one of them has 50 magery and the other has zero. I knew full well what the implications of each build was, my zero magery dexxer would struggle to get around, while my 50 magery dexxer would be more or less fine, given a handful of fizzles. That being said, playing the zero magery dexxer is a lot of fun, you have to run around, use moongates, or ask players for a gate if you do not have alt accounts to gate you around. Knowing that you can recall with a scroll is nice too, though most of the time I don't even carry a rune around on that char.
Do you really think that's viable on a felucca-only server that wants to sustain a healthy playerbase? The lameness of recall goes a long way in making FFA PvP in a full-loot game possible, in my opinion. How about making Gate Travel a level 4 spell and Recall a level 7 spell? At least then you'd be able to follow people unless they used 40 mana and didn't get interrupted casting a level 7 spell. I always thought disappearing without a trace was more powerful than the ability to take others along anyway...
Exactly. My MAIN on UOSA was a Swords/Archer with Parry. I accepted my choices and rather enjoyed the tedium of travel as it brought more random adventure and unexpected interaction along with it.
change the vote to add "bonded pets also recall with you" and hear most these birds sing a different tune
It just seems that dexxers always have to make adjustments. What if it was the other way? What if you could only cure deadly poison with bandages? See how that works?
I'm with Blaise on this; I'd much rather see attention to hit% and AR than recall. Also, buff archery somehow. And moats/CUB
"I want instant travel, WITH my pets, while spending ZERO skill points, and, and, and..." How about everyone plays on their own instanced shard except for Ocllo with Trammel rules so people can trade rares, ffs?! I'm with Larloch. This game having Recall and Gate is bad enough already. (the spells, not the shard. UO:R is awesome)
Rumor has it if you hold a travel gnome upside down, shake them, and utter the magic word they'll "drop" a recall scroll and marked rune.
Seen a guy yesterday in despise where the recall macro failed him and the reds ripped him from limb to limb... I would have helped but my button was stuck and I couldn't come out of hiding.
I should add that I don't know if the guy failed his recall becuz of a fizzle or because the reds came in prepared. I just know I saw the words kal ort por, then I saw him taking a nap. Maybe they had para precast, or maybe he was just not fast enough, either way, I didn't want to get involved. I was actually a little upset cuz I had been watching the guy farm for a few mins and felt he was my mark, and they took my theft victim.
