プロデューサーノート

Pub108 の第 2 弾リリースを TC1 に展開したことをお知らせします。
このリリースには、IDOC システム（家の腐り）の大規模アップデートが含まれています。私たちは、誰にとっても公正なシステムを考え出しました。第1弾リリース内容をチェックしていない場合は、ベテラン報奨、Ultimaストアアイテム、PvP戦闘の更新など、パッチノートに記載されている内容をチェックするようお勧めします。

加速減衰プロセスはTC1にのみ適用されることに注意してください。

・家の腐敗に関する情報は、City Trade Ministersを訪問することで得ることができます。 City Trade Ministersは、クランプスの出現時と同様に、近づくとこの情報を叫びます。
•接収された家は、最短で5日間かけて6つの段階を経て崩壊します。
Like New -> Slightly Worn -> Somewhat Worn -> Fairly Worn -> Greatly Worn -> In Danger of Collapsing
新しい – > 少々くすんでいる – > くすんでいる – > 老朽化してきた – > とても古びている – > 今にも崩れ落ちそうだ
•家が接収状態に入ると、家はプライベートになり、すべてのアクセスが削除されます。フレンドリストと共同所有者リストは削除されます。
•レンタルベンダーを持つ住宅はOSI所有になり、ベンダーの所有者に通知されるためには2回目のサイクルを経なければなりません。
•家の崩壊タイマーは”In Danger of Collapsing/今にも崩れ落ちそうだ”の段階になると家の看板に表示されます。このタイマーは、家が崩壊するまでの時間を示します。
•家が崩壊すると、コンテンツ（セキュア等）が樽に詰め込まれ、その間、家エリアがフェンスで囲まれます。プレイヤーやペットはフェンスで囲まれたエリアに入ることができなくなります。コンテンツが樽に入っている間、プレイヤーはフェンスで囲まれたエリアにテレポートすることはできません。
•すべてのコンテンツが樽に収容されると、プレイヤーは樽を破壊でき、パンチすることができます。樽は、非エンドレスジャーニーアカウントによってのみ攻撃することができ、プレイヤーは非武装でなければなりません。樽の破壊をするには唯一素手だけです。
•50個のアイテムと100ストーンをバックパックに入れることができない限り、樽にダメージを与えることができません。
•騎乗生物とペットは、このエリアから制限されています。樽は攻撃破壊されるか、次のサーバーのメンテナンスまで残ります。

テストセンター特有の注意: 効率的なテストの目的のために、減衰サイクルはテストセンターでのみスピードアップされました。これは、減衰サイクルがそのまま適用されることはありません。 TC1 が最新のアップデートで公開されると、家が崩れ落ちるまでに約 9 時間かかります。これらの特定方法やサイクルなどは上記を参照してください。

Q&A

1.バトルチキン鶏小屋入るとスキルがリセットされています。これは意図したとおりですか?

前回Dev Meet and Greets時、プレイヤーに、これは実際には意図したとおりに動作していることを応答しました。さらなる調査の結果、これが当てはまらないことが判明しました。私たちは、この問題を再検討するためにバグ追跡に書き込み、鶏小屋に確認ガンプを追加予定です。

2. 動物園コレクションのリストに新しい動物を追加したい。

動物園コレクションに今後追加を行う予定です。すべての新しい動物を収容できるように、動物園をもう少し拡張したいと思っています。

3. 魔法のカートは幸運の影響を受けていますか?

幸運は任意の影響を持っていません。幸運の詳細については、UO Wikiページをご覧ください。

4. 味見スキルなど「役に立たない」スキルのアップデート予定はありますか？

ゲームに新しい機能や更新された機能を追加する際には、使用の少ないスキルを再び価値のあるものにすることが理にかなっているかどうかを常に考慮します。特にクエスト関連のアクションでは、検死スキルのような調査スキルをできるだけ頻繁に利用しようとしていることを理解していただけると思います。

Producer Notes

Greetings,

We are pleased to announce we have deployed the second release of Publish 108 to TC1! This release includes a major update to the IDOC system. We have come up with what we think will be a fair and just system for everyone. If you haven’t checked out what was included in the first release we invite you to check out the vet rewards, Ultima Store Items, PvP combat updates and more listed in the publish notes. After listening to feedback we have come up with what we think will be a fair and just system for everyone. We have accelerated the house decay process and put a production shard backup on TC1 for testing the following changes. Please note the accelerated decay process only applies to TC1.

Information regarding the whereabouts of structures that are in danger of collapsing can be obtained by visiting City Trade Ministers. City Trade ministers will bark this information when approaching, similar to how Krampus’ location is relayed.
Condemned houses will go through six stages of decay which will take at least five days,
- Like New -> Slightly Worn -> Somewhat Worn -> Fairly Worn -> Greatly Worn -> In Danger of Collapsing
When a house goes into the condemned status the house will become private and all access will be removed. Friend and Co-owner lists will be cleared.
Houses with rental vendors will become OSI owned and have to go through a cycle for the second time to notify vendor owners.
The house collapse timer will appear on the house sign as it nears the “In Danger of Collapsing” stage. This timer will indicate how long until the house collapses.
When the house drops the housing area will be fenced off while the contents of the house are packed into barrels within the housing area. No players or pets will be able to enter the fenced area while the contents are being packed. Players may not teleport into the fenced area while the contents are being packed.
Once all contents have been packed away players will be able to punch their way into the housing area for a chance to break into the barrels. Barrels can only be attacked by non-Endless Journey Accounts and players must be unarmed. Unarmed damage is the only damage that will break barrels.
Players may not damage barrels unless they can hold 50 items and 100 stones in their backpack.
Mounts and Pets are restricted from this area. Barrels will remain until attacked or next server maintenance.

Test Center Specific Notes: For the purposes of efficient testing, the decay cycle has been sped up on Test Center only. This is not representative of how the decay cycle timing will work on production. Decay cycle timing will remain as it is now on production for Origin etc. and WW release. As of TC1 being published with the latest update, it will take approximately 9 hours before houses begin to fall on TC1. See the notes above on how to identify the location of these structures and how that process will play out.

We thank you for testing and look forward to your feedback.

We would like to invite you to our Dev Meet and Greets for the month of March,

Monday, March 16th, Napa Valley @ 9pm ET
Monday, March 30th, Drachenfels @ 2pm ET

The following are actions taken on accounts that were banned or suspended during the month of December:

36 – Macroing
10 – Solicitation
31 – Multiboxing
8 – Disruptive Behavior
2 – Naming Violation

See you in Britannia,

Bonnie “Mesanna” Armstrong

Question & Answer

1. Battle chickens skills reset when they go in the coop, is this is working as intended?

Originally we responded to a player during a Meet & Greet that this was, in fact, working as intended. Upon further investigation we discovered this is not the case. We have it written up in our bug tracking to revisit this issue, including adding a confirmation gump for adding chickens to the coop.

2. I would like new animals to be added to the list of zoo collection.

This is something we are going to do when we revamp the Zoo Collection. We want to add a little more space in the Zoo so it can house all the new animals.

3. Is the enchanted wheelbarrow influenced by luck?

Luck does not have any influence when it comes to the enchanted wheelbarrow. To read more about luck, visit the UO Wiki page on Luck.

4. Do you plan to update the “useless” skills like taste ID etc?

When we add any new or updated features to the game we always consider if it makes sense to update and make the less used skills valuable again. You may have noticed, especially in quest related actions, that we try to utilize investigatory skills like Forensic ID as often as we can.

EA ORIGIN – ORDERS, CODES, AND THIRD PARTY RESELLERS

Sovereigns Coin Codes purchased from EA Origin have to be redeemed on the Account Center; you cannot enter these in game.
Sovereign Coin Codes that have been redeemed are bound to the EA Account they were redeemed on and are only usable by the accounts linked with that EA Account; Sovereign Coin currency may not be transferred.

If you are having issues with your EA Origin purchase, follow this link to resolve the issue.

CODE PURCHASE DELAY
You may have noticed that Origin Store purchases made did not arrived as expected. The Origin Store enacts reviews on all transactions to safeguard against fraudulent purchases, and these reviews may take up to 72 hours. Unfortunately our Billing department is not able to expedite or circumvent this process. However, players who have questions or concerns regarding a store purchase can contact Origin Support for assistance using the below steps:

1) Go here, https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/?product=origin&platform=pc
2) Select topic* – select Orders
3) Select issue*
4) Click on “Select contact option“
5) Sign in with your EA Account or click on “Get help from an advisor without logging in.” if you’re having trouble signing in.

THIRD PARTY RESELLERS
We would also like to reiterate that the Origin store is the only guaranteed provider of codes for Ultima Online. The validity of a code purchased from a third-party seller (be it a friend, in-game acquaintance, or recommended site) cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, any codes we find to have be fraudulently obtained will be disabled and an account that applies any of these codes will have that code removed from said account. This can result in the loss of game time, character slots, expansion access, Sovereigns (and the items purchased with them), in-game items and more. Please be advised that we cannot assist with any issues stemming from codes purchased via non-Origin means; you will be required to contact the vendor from which you purchased the code for further assistance
