Players Jumping to Nerf Conclusions

As for mana regeneration, as it is now, some players have item/skill combinations that pretty much make mana a non-factor in combat for them. They never need to actively meditate, and rarely have to wait for their mana to regen in order to cast the next spell. That shouldn't be the case.

Mages should have to actively med sometimes, and they should run out of mana if they chain lots of spells one after the other for long periods of time. (Nor should reagents be a non-factor either, but that's for a much later discussion.)

So its not just Mana Regen and Lower Mana Cost he is looking at nerfing, its Lower Reagent Cost as well.

Goodbye UO mages. [/tear]

Wilki: This is EXACTLY why you don't see developers out here discussing things openly. I talked about some things that could be changed with mana regen, lrc, etc. Now we're going to have a rumor spreading through the game, "OMG! The devs are nerfing mages! They all play archers! UO sux!"

:-(

When I get asked why we don't talk about changes theoretically as much as we'd like to, I'm going to point to this thread as the reason why not.

he has a good point... damn people always half reading things and spreading the nothingness they think they know....

You are gonna get these rumors whether you post on here or not. Someones always gonna play the "he said, she said" game and it will be a dramafest just like any other aspect of life. Personally I could care less if they nerfed everyone because honestly PvP sucks right now.

I never complain about the devs, as I know they have a very hard job trying to please everyone. I mean everyone has different play styles and there is NO WAY they can please everyone. And UO is like life things always change

I've never figured out how to be gracefully humble without appearing weak. Nor have I figured out how to be gracefully passionate without appearing arrogant. In the end, I always seem to be arrogant and weak instead of humbly passionate.
