Bag Ball
AoS has arenas. Great. Wonderful. A PvP arena in Malas, the new facet
with the Trammel ruleset.
But, and check this out, they are pushing an in game 'game' called "Bag
Ball".
Want to know more?
So, someone, please tell me, why were hours spent on putting together a
piece 'touting' this in game 'game' as opposed to talking about Doom? More
about Malas? More details about Combat Changes? How blacksmiths will be
making their enchanted items? What 'cool' and 'neat' moves the weapons
will really have? How Battle Focus will really work?
Note: My 'source' tells me he was on crack when he told me it wasn't a
skill; next time I see him, I am kicking his ass...apologies to the
readerbase for that--but remember something else, if he was wrong about
that. Oh, while we are talking about Battle focus:
Whitefangs: "Will Battle Focus work in conjunction with Meditation? In
otherwords, if I have GM in both, will I gain mana back even faster than
with just GM meditation?"
Yes.
Cheers,
Fertbert
120 Battle Focus Powerscroll anyone?
So, they put out roughly 21 paragraphs worth of information about THE
'game' within the game and ignore everything else that everyone has been
talking about for this new release of Ultima Online. Ooh. Ahh. You got
me excited. Oh wait. This is OSI's OCR team we are talking about right?
I forgot. I must've been reading too much of Shadowbane's and Neverwinter
Night's OCR team remarks and thought other companies had their shit
straight too. OSI's OCR's priorities are different than other OCR
teams...
Let me leave you with a conversation I had with a friend:
[18:57] : HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH A tennis court
[18:57] Nieves: THANK YOU
[18:57] : hahah
[18:59] : Uo the alternate Sims online you too can play tennis
Oh yeah. Phag ball. Feel my excitement.
Note: this is not to insult the creators of the 'game' within the game or
those that play it. In fact, I think it's a good thing that OSI is pushing
a player created in game 'game'.
This is to merely point out that: "Does OSI REALLY think that most of the
playerbase gives a fuck about this?"
Edit: OMG! I am so right on about this! Even the uo.com regulars
recognize what a crock of shit this last AoS update was.
A snippet: today =(
OMG we the people have serious Questions about AOS and our skills that will
become useless in AOS.I posted a few hours ago and the tread was locked and
I was told they`ll be another upodate.so i foundly found that
update.BAGBALL!?! Who in tha Heck cares.totally useless info...Glad yah all
know how important this game is to us.Especially how important my time was
raising resist 4 yrs ago,or those that have GM`d ID Item.
And greywolfe go ahead and lock it ahead of time.
And greywolf's initial response: I understand that you
feel frustrated over what seems like a wasted update to you. But there are
a lot of people in our worldwide community that will find this feature of
Age of Shadows to be both interesting and fun. Not every player is
interested in just the combat aspect of UO. There will be more updates and
more information to come; please let others enjoy this information, if they
feel inclined to do so.
Yes. Pink is back! I was going to be nice and color everything red this
year, but damn. Anyway, I digress....
So, care to show me where Bag Ball is listed as a feature of AoS?
Oh wait, let me put it in the words of another player: How is bagball a feature of AoS? It's been around for years.
The arena, even by your site's own description of bagball, is not the ideal
setting for playing the game anyway.
Owned.
You can read that thread here (yes you
need a damn UO.com board account).
ALSO! This just in! You can read Jade's thoughts here, and discuss it in UOPG's boards here.
Hasta.
Most people aren't stupid. They are just uninformed idiots.

And to think, I actually pre-ordered this game AND paid extra for faster
shipping. Maybe I'll just pretend I'm not associated with this game
anymore.

Ok, so first the post a tool in which has already been found a couple days
ago. Now they post an update on a game which has existed in UO for years.
Is it just me or is OSI one step behind it's players?
If you don't put in your 2 cents how can you expect change?

Bagball...
...is OSI running out of AoS stuff that is worth to advertise?
Last weeks ad errr feature was kinda weak and consisted of stuff already
been answered long ago.
What about dungeon doom or the changes to resist, etc?

I got it figured out
There whole reason for adding this bagball stadium. It's so there is at
least one thing that WILL actually make it into aos at release. Well... If
they fuck that up, then...

I never knew about bag ball before this update, but I have to say after I
read it!.....well now I went from not knowing it exists to not careing it
exists. Honstly I'm not shocked by anything OSI does anymore, if all
weapons where replaced by Nerf bats and guns, and insted of dieing you
where just tired and could only walk around untill you got a glass of
lemonade. I would simply shrug. Honstly if they would have not posted
anything it would have been much better then that bullshit that was. It's
still beyond me why we are getting an expansion when some of the things
from are last expansion are still inactive (where are all the vitures?)
...but hey I don't need to worry about how this expansion is going to fuck
the living shit out of my Lumberho, I can just get in a hooded robe, sit
back ,and enjoy a game of bag ball...

Bagball is not a OSI thing, it was invented on Europa and Drach, and works
well (if you are interested in it) lets see how OSI can fuck it up.
I played it once and ran away screaming

Bagball is even more dependent on having a good connection that UO PvP is
at the moment... we do have a stadium on Europa already, west of British's
castle, over the other side of the moat. I've played a few games and it's
not all that bad, certainly worth a go if you're bored of everything else
UO has to offer...
