=Custom and Not AOS=

Our shards have always been custom shards.  One of the things that my husband, Mithril, and I love to do is design new game systems.  Consequently, you should be prepared for any and all of the functionality to be changed at any point. We change things for all the normal reasons; balanced, fairness, equitability, and gameplay.  We also change things because we want to do something new or interesting.  Here are some common guidelines we follow for design:
+
{{:Custom and Not AOS}}
  
−
# Combat skills should be for combat, craft skills should be for crafting. Any cross over of this, such as magery bonuses from inscription or ax damage bonuses from lumberjacking will be removed.
 
−
# Equality in builds: We don't like "weird exceptions" that force a player to make a min/max build over a role-playing build simply to be equitable.  That's not to say every weird build a role-player comes up with will be effective, but rather that the lumberjack/ax build is not equitable as it penalizes any character who chooses a sword over an ax and lumberjacking.
 
−
# Quality of Life: Our shard community likes a difficult and rewarding game but there are a number of annoying designs in the UO code that need to be hunted down and murdered.  We'll get to them, but other things are a priority.
 
−
# Doesn't fit our fiction: Like most games, UO was written to fit ''it's fiction''. We will change or remove things that don't apply to our fiction, like the UO virtue system and the elven and gargoyle races.
 
−
# Anti Min/Max and Twitch Gaming: As a rule, we like games that provide fair choices, builds that are easy to setup, and combat that does not require extreme feats of dexterity. Too many options in combat is not necessarily a good thing and rewards the quick-fingered.
 
−
# Streamlined functionality: UO is an old game, and it has a lot of systems and ability, many of which break all rules of good design and are effectively little more than skill, ability, and spell bloat.  AOS itself was the beginning of this downward trend.
 
  
−
Consequently, we have AOS (Age of Shadow) changes DISABLED on Sanctuary.  We are not using any of the elemental resists or elemental damage options now standard in Ultima Online. Instead, we are using a blend of new stuff with the elemental aspects turned off, as well as a return to the old magic item options for power, destruction, etc. We understand that some of the screens (gumps) still show elemental resists, but they SHOULD NOT affect game play. (If they do please report it.).

==Known Issues & Pending Changes==
 +
;Update 7/22/2020
 +
* [[Forensic Evaluation]] is a combination of Item Idea, Forensics, and Taste ID.
 +
* [[Devotion]] (was Chivalry) and [[Precision]] (was Bushido) have been completed.  [[Deception]] (was Ninjitsu) is still broken but a design is pending.
 +
* [[Camping]], [[Focus]] and [[Meditation]] have been given an upgrade/review.
 +
* There was a [[Weapon Combat|melee]] and [[Mob Combat|mob combat]] upgrade/review on June 6th, 2020 that effected a lot of functionality: [http://www.sanctuaryshard.com/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=CC%206.20&fulltext=1 CC 6.20]
 +
* The first two of the new magic skills [[Evocation]] and [[Druidry]] have been released for player testing.  The next three are begin designed and thus [[Necromancy]] which is broken will be replaced.

This means that many of the skills in-game are not exactly like standard UO; so when reading UO Stratics or UO Guide, please keep this in mind. We are working on rewriting many of the systems heavily influanced by AOS.

Latest revision as of 18:28, 14 October 2020

We will be using the last set of Serv UO scripts that we built. The user manual will contain only those aspects which are non-standard additions. To those who have never played UO before; this wiki does not teach you how to play UO, rather it assumes you know how, and only need to know what is new or different from standard game play. We will make an effort to provide a selection of other websites for players new to the game mechanics.

Custom and Not AOS

Our shards have always been custom shards. One of the things that my husband, Mithril, and I love to do is design new game systems. Consequently, you should be prepared for any and all of the functionality to be changed at any point. We change things for all the normal reasons; balanced, fairness, equitability, and gameplay. We also change things because we want to do something new or interesting. Here are some common guidelines we follow for design:

  1. Combat skills should be for combat, craft skills should be for crafting. Any cross over of this, such as magery bonuses from inscription or ax damage bonuses from lumberjacking will be removed.
  2. Equality in builds: We don't like "weird exceptions" that force a player to make a min/max build over a role-playing build simply to be equitable. That's not to say every weird build a role-player comes up with will be effective, but rather that the lumberjack/ax build is not equitable as it penalizes any character who chooses a sword over an ax and lumberjacking.
  3. Quality of Life: Our shard community likes a difficult and rewarding game but there are a number of annoying designs in the UO code that need to be hunted down and murdered. We'll get to them, but other things are a priority.
  4. Doesn't fit our fiction: Like most games, UO was written to fit it's fiction. We will change or remove things that don't apply to our fiction, like the UO virtue system and the elven and gargoyle races.
  5. Anti Min/Max and Twitch Gaming: As a rule, we like games that provide fair choices, builds that are easy to setup, and combat that does not require extreme feats of dexterity. Too many options in combat is not necessarily a good thing and rewards the quick-fingered.
  6. Streamlined functionality: UO is an old game, and it has a lot of systems and ability, many of which break all rules of good design and are effectively little more than skill, ability, and spell bloat. AOS itself was the beginning of this downward trend.

Consequently, we have AOS (Age of Shadow) changes DISABLED on Sanctuary. We are not using any of the elemental resists or elemental damage options now standard in Ultima Online. Instead, we are using a blend of new stuff with the elemental aspects turned off, as well as a return to the old magic item options for power, destruction, etc. We understand that some of the screens (gumps) still show elemental resists, but they SHOULD NOT affect game play. (If they do please report it.).

This means that many of the skills in-game are not exactly like standard UO; so when reading UO Stratics or UO Guide, please keep this in mind. We are working on rewriting many of the systems heavily influanced by AOS.


Known Issues & Pending Changes

Update 7/22/2020
  • Forensic Evaluation is a combination of Item Idea, Forensics, and Taste ID.
  • Devotion (was Chivalry) and Precision (was Bushido) have been completed. Deception (was Ninjitsu) is still broken but a design is pending.
  • Camping, Focus and Meditation have been given an upgrade/review.
  • There was a melee and mob combat upgrade/review on June 6th, 2020 that effected a lot of functionality: CC 6.20
  • The first two of the new magic skills Evocation and Druidry have been released for player testing. The next three are begin designed and thus Necromancy which is broken will be replaced.
  • Changes to an inscription, cartography, artistry, gate and recall are planned: Forum thread here
  • Intonation replaces Peacemaking, Provocation, and Discordance.
Please Report
We are sure that there will be a number of things we find that will need to be fixed, as it stands, between now and Go Live (9/1). Staff reserve the right to fix/confiscate anything they think is either unbalanced or just plain ugly. Please help out and report any of the following things:
  1. Glowing or spangled colored items.
  2. New or unexpected drops on mobs -- especially if it's a new mob.
PvP Balance
Many of the new skills have not been balanced for PvP. There will be a massive PvP balance after all the other skill rewrites are complete.

Resource, Craft Skills & Utility Skills

All crafting on this shard is restricted to one of the six town crafting halls, a handful of NPC shops nearby those craft halls, and player owned buildings set as shops. Some crafting stations have been used as static deco but do not function. The most commonly used location is near the Evervale bank on Summer Isle (starting location).

Most of these skills function like the craft skills from Grimmwold except where the Grimmwold craft skill was nearly identical to OSI/Base UO anyway; in which case, we have used the updated version of the crafting skill from ServUO circa 2016. If you discover NON-AOS updates available on OSI/Base UO, and you'd like us to investigate adding them, please put the request on the forums.
