Pet Skill Loss Upon Death - Idea

[Josh D]

My steed had 66 resist, it happens when they die, but never tank damage to gain resist back.

Fortunatly they lowered the required exp, so that wont get as bad again

Why don't we just make the game have zero risk? Everyone starts with maxed out level 7 dragons or spiders with unlimited pet ball charges. Everyone gets a powerscroll for just stepping into a champ spawn area (drops in bank, of course). Relics are handed out at Brit bank every Thursday morning just like methadone at the clinic. Everyone wins! No one EVER loses! We can call it Trammel!

Or we can play Ultima Online where the risks are great, but so are the rewards.

Its 1% skill loss for making a mistake or taking a chance, and you'll get it back eventually (meta pets roll over, everything else can be trained in a few hours). The alternative to this (since that sting is too tough for some people) is to join factions. Yes, factions increases the risks (pvp) and the rewards (faction bonuses), but your pet will always be maxed out. They changed the meta steed by lowering the exp needed for a rollover, which was the only change needed.

The problem, as I see it in UO is people not wanting to take risks (after they've been burned a few times), but suffer nothing for the failed attempts. This isn't the game for that. You need risks, punishments for failed risk assessment need to stay a part of the game, and you need to group up if you want to take on those risks and mitigate the negative effects.

Oh that's coming in future "Special one time only donation bags"

Oh well, I must be really good at PVM without even knowing it or something. Like seriously, my pets never die more than 10 times before a re roll, you guys must be going ape shit with them metas, like throwing them in the middle of rdas and logging off

All shards I have played on since leaving OSI had pet stat loss, it is a good idea and adds value to 7x pets for tamers who train and sell pets. It is a great way to earn $, tame max stat creatures (mares/drag/ww) train them to 7x and sell for mills!

Happy hunting mother chuffers!

That's like 40-50 deaths lol how did that happen?????

I really don't need to explain myself, but if you insist on caring. It's because I actually use my pets and don't play scared. Also because I don't care. I was only PK'ed one time, lol.

I have been farming a lot using remote desktop from my phone. You try farming with a touch screen. Even with your best oh shit macro you're still gonna end up face down a lot.

But again really who cares about a few skill pts I can play UO any time any where and that is huge.

Damn playing on a touchscreen with remote desktop is seriously hard core! Congrats on that one, i should try out of curiosity

It's a game changer and yet sucks ass all at the same time.
