Nope you have to be 1 tile awaycan still box it?
The changes to peacemaking really suck. Please tell me these aren't permanent.
Wow. I just check it. With stool, no clear path message after taming starts. Can only tame from direct NE,SE,SW,NW corner... Now, peace has its value in taming.Nope you have to be 1 tile away

yes peacers may be help full but thats for the established player.. just think if you started and are out trying to get your first mare or dragaon..i think this part of the patch is a negative one .. the 2 or 3 tile distance u could have was good enough.. to me i have my pets and very good ones .. and enough summon balls i wont have to attempt to tame another again so it dosnet bother me the least bit.
but i can see major complicatons for new players trying to get their first pet.. imagine sitting there failing to tame a dragon attempting 20-30x before u tame it. teh entire time its beating on you....
even training taming lets say on bulls that are moving is gunna be a chore now.. all around this is notta well thought out idea in my opinion.
they shoulda left well enough alone on this one.. or atleast make it where you cannot foot stool (foot stools are broken regardless should be removed from the game) them .. so the player can atleast paralize them and attempt to tame.. ive sat there 20mins trying to tame one mare and im sure anyone reading this post has been there also.. and its a bitch with paralize and peace.. now its even worse.. for a new player its gunna be basicaly impossible
Taming was meant to be hard and challenging
so have you tried to tame a dragon, mare with limited resourses .. regs/pots/armor.. have u sat n failed over n over for almost 30mins
now imagine being a month old to this game and failing for 20-30mins on your first pet.. the entire time you tame it you have to let it punch you..
sorry i dont bank sit, sit at the duel pits,i actualy play, and i know how bad this sucks for newer players.. i think failing 20x+ in a row tryin to tame something was shitty enough for taming..
now try it now and see how bad it sucks.. like i said i have 2 sets of great hunting pets about 10 summon balls and antoher 10 charges of translocation.. so this change dosent bother me one bit..
but this change is for the worse imo..
and if tessa your refering to my post.. its not giving the new players shit.. its giving them a CHANCE IN HELL to tame a pet.. some people didnt pick this game up and been playing it for 15 years.. i think alot of people overlook that aspect of Ultima espicially here on hybrid.. if you want the shard to grow.. us old vets are not making the population higher only the new players do that.., and to make shit harder for them defeats the purpose of trying to get them to play here and not elsewhere..
it may just be me.. but if i cant get anywhere really in a game i dont play it.. and this taming changes makes it 10x more challenging.. and taming is the best way to make decent money.. so if i came to this shard. and taming sucks like it does now.. id move elsewhere why waste my time here when there is umpteen different shards that help me being new.. instead of being told
"I love new players but new players are New.
They shouldn't be able to do everything, or have everything, from the word go."
its not like we are taking away a command that gives them a free pet or regs.. we are making it practicaly impossible for a newer player to tame a hunting pet.. we are not handing them nothing but a chance..
im thinking you guys are forgetting what it is like to be a NEW player here..
Nah you can see the creature from a cliff, the problem is that you are 2 tiles away. You have to be within biting range. For taming swampies it doesn't really matter because they don't do much damage, but this might raise the price of mounts a bit which would be really cool, considering that a lot of tamers will make some spare change by selling mounts to people asking for them at the banks. But with how long it takes to tame a beetle or ESPECIALLY a swampy, it isn't worth the amount of gold that people usually want to pay, about 2 or 3k, since you can farm 5k+ in that time at any spawn. This isn't really the point of my post but I think it would be cool if people started charging/paying 5k minimum for mounts considering how long it takes to tame them and also that it is now slightly harder to do so. Also, hopefully people will start charging/paying more than ~10k for freshly tamed mares. You can make that money back so quick with the mare, and think about how long it took to tame that goddamn thing! Anyways, on to the main point.So not to make a long post or anything..
When I tame, i usually attack it til it has super low health, then i para the creature and start to tame. I dont use stools and i dont clifs or such.
And I usually tame from 2 tiles away.
Has this changed at all?
I thought all that changed was you have to be able to see the creature (i.e cant be on a cliff)
You are missing the point.
With runic weapons around, Vanqs aren't what they used to be.
I highly doubt that you actually farmed for all of those weapons/armor, most likely found at idocs, and cashed in.... and if you did actually farm for them recently, well then you are one of the 10 people left that still enjoys farming for magic weapons/armor.... the rest of us are bored.
