Steven	hail
Mesanna	Hi Steven
Steven	so idocs are falling at weird times not on the 5 10 15 mark, some times they fall early, why is this?
Steven	osi are the worst. i seen a osi grealy just fall never go idoc
Mesanna	OSI houses are not IDOC houses, if we get them they are way past the recovery stage
Mesanna	they either have to be manually deleted due to the fact that some are bugged
Steven	but some reg one still falling early
Mesanna	are you saying they are falling maybe a day early? or is it hours early
Steven	no hour to 2 some times
Steven	like a 3pm go idoc should fall 8 and some time it falls at 6 or 7, its bugged
Mesanna	so it is a matter of a few hours
Steven	was told it was 5 10 15
Steven	if u can look in to it be great
Mesanna	sure but there are alot of variables, server maintenance etc
Steven	ok
Mesanna	but we will look at it

Ice cold	like a thing in bag bless kinda like a quiver but for aids
Mesanna	are you asking for a container that hold bandages so you don't have to pick them up?
Ice cold	nope just to stay on your body
Mesanna	we will talk it over
Mesanna	hi Britannic
Britannic	Good evening, Messana and all the developers.
Mesanna	Good evening
Kyronix	Hello!
Bleak	Hello
Britannic	First, as a fellow software developer, thank you for all the hard work you do. I understand the position of trying to please everyone and not being able to do so. So kudos for all that you do do.
Mesanna	*nods*
Britannic	My question: Can you do something to address the graphical gliches in the enhanced client. Specifically, the bleedthrough of special effects from floors below to floors above.
Mesanna	yes we can look into the special effects, that is actually something that bothers us also
Britannic	And second can you fix the color of dragons in the EC as well? They are all "red" in the EC even through they may be red or brown in the CC.
Mesanna	working on the dragons for the pet revamp
Britannic	Awesome! Thank you.
Mesanna	batting 100 so far
Britannic	That was all for me. Again, thank you for your time. It is appreciated.
Mesanna	most welcome
Mesanna	we are happy to get the dragon fixed also
Britannic	=) Me too as a tamer it drives me nuts
Mesanna	agreed
Mesanna	hi Nia
Nia	Hail Developers!
Kyronix	Hello!
Nia	Also, I would like to thank you for all your hard work.
Mesanna	thank you
Nia	Would it be possible to make it so that unmarked recall runes can stack? It's a pain to have to move them around one at a time to the top level of your backpack if you working on runebook, etc.
Kyronix	Perhaps. You wouldn't be able to mark a stack of runes
Nia	No, but when you cast mark on a stack just pop one off and put in the backpack if there is room. If there is no room it drops to the ground.
Kyronix	Targetting the stack could be problematic. Would have to look into it
Nia	Just a thought. That was all.
Kyronix	Thanks for the suggestion!
Nia	Again, thank you for your time whatever comes of it. Have a great night.
Mesanna	You also
Drowy	Hi
Mesanna	hi Drowy
Kyronix	G'evening
Drowy	I got 2 questions
Drowy	First one: Will we ever see the gargoyle versions of the shadowguard artifacts
Drowy	or at least a way to alter all of them, maybe except the hawkwinds robe because there wasnt a gargoyle version?
Kyronix	Sure, this is something we can look into. There's an issue in our system already
Drowy	ok
Drowy	Second one: Can we get a better way to acquire Iron Beetle Scales? At the moment there is just one spawn of 3 and it takes about 5 minutes for them to respawn. The drop rate is about 25% and you need 200 of the scales if you want advance from tier 2 to tier 3 from Zosilem quest. This takes like forever and there should be some tweak to it, please. Ty.
Mesanna	that seems like a lot, we will look at it
Drowy	tyvm
Mesanna	welcome
Drowy	Thats all for today :)
Mesanna	thank you
Silent Bob	Hail Lords and Lady of Broadsword!
Mesanna	Hi Silent Bob
Kyronix	Well met!
Silent Bob	With the advent of new BODs, has any thought been given to their storage?
Silent Bob	I am terribly concerned about how much BODs already impinge on storage.
Silent Bob	And is it legal to store BODs on books on vendors?
Mesanna	yes it is, you can store them on a vendor
Silent Bob	I worry with the proliferation of bods that my house will be full of nothing but. Will the new bods have their own books?
Mesanna	we are not going to be changing the storage at this time, we want people to turn them in not horde them
Silent Bob	aye but if u get a new one fore each u turn in you end up with alot of bods
Mesanna	we have not come up with a good solution to be honest
Silent Bob	thanks for your consideration, have a great evening
Noah	hi
Mesanna	hi Noah
Noah	i have a question about account age
Mesanna	ok
Noah	could we pay to age an account that was lets say started in 98 but only gets vet rewards for 4 years paid
Mesanna	we have talked about it, just have not come up with a fair solution as of yet. not really fair to the vets
Noah	can you buy a token to age your acct?
Mesanna	as stated we have it on our discussion board but have not come up with a good solution
Noah	thx for your time
Mesanna	welcome
a tiger	*hi there*
Mesanna	hi Tiger, sorry didn't mean to pass you up
a tiger	*i just came back from 14 years off and i wanted to say thanks for keeping the game alive*
Kyronix	Welcome back!
a tiger	*no worries. i do look like a pet*
a tiger	*thanks*
a tiger	*i dont have a question. just wanted to say hi and meet you guys*
Mesanna	ahh nice to meet you
a tiger	*thanks everyone*
Mesanna	and hope you are enjoying being back
a tiger	*i am fun so far* *thanks again*
Mesanna	most welcome
Mesanna	hi Muchi
Muchi Muchi Munn	Hello my Queen, I wanted to ask two small things about pvp.
Muchi Muchi Munn	1) will you make a mastery for alchemy ?
Mesanna	how about this, right now we not have anything on the plate so why not do this for me. email me your ideas so we can have it when we start discussing it again. I have been getting a few great ideas in emails which really help
Muchi Muchi Munn	Ok my Queen I will. My second question
Muchi Muchi Munn	I wanted to ask if you have any plans to make town buff for reds to revamp the pkers again
Mesanna	That is in discussion also
Kyronix	It's something we've talked about, no concrete plans yet, Still in the concepting phase
Muchi Muchi Munn	great. Thanks a lot for your time and for all you do for uo
Izaya	Good Evening!
Mesanna	hi Izaya
Izaya	I was wondering if EM bosses could have a more lethal skillset implemented into them
Mesanna	the bosses are set up per the EM's and can have alot of scripts on them
Mesanna	I will say this, they have made them harder and I got a call to come debuff them
Mesanna	are you talking about on Atlantic? or a different shard
Izaya	yea... some of the bosses just die in like 15 seconds and that's due to the unattended macroing just having a free ride on them...
Izaya	I'm not just refering to atlantic
Mesanna	you are mistaken, if you do not hit the mobs they do not get a reward or a chance at one. Healing also of course
Izaya	I understand but there's a lot of throwers just following after one character at these events lately so I figure if everyone is dead at some point at least it will be a much fairer playing field
Mesanna	so you want stomp on every mob, thats a good way to die every time
Izaya	I wouldn't say stomper but an opening stomp wouldn't be to bad
Mesanna	lol what shard, are you talking this one or all shards
Izaya	well I can say for example lake austin on saturday that must've died in less than a minute
Mesanna	I will talk to the EM's, thank you for the feedback
Mesanna	remember some of those are new EM's also
Izaya	I'm not faulting them
Mesanna	they have to see what works and what doesn't
Izaya	I just figured for future bosses to make it more fairer it would be nice if they were harder
Mesanna	I will talk to my EM's and get their feedback also
Izaya	=) thank you for your time, have a good evening
Mesanna	thank you, you also
Hysteria	Greetings, I have two questions for you.
Mesanna	hi Hysteria
Hysteria	Are any of the changes that are written on stratics finalized regarding archery finalized?
Hysteria	err I mean are any of the changes set in stone*
Mesanna	We do not control Stratics
Hysteria	Any confirmation?
Mesanna	we do have our own Wiki though
Hysteria	It's been said that swing speed would be capped at 1.5 now instead of 1.25?
Bleak	That thread is only a discussion, nothing is final
Hysteria	Also, coke or pepsi? I'm more of a pepsi kind of guy myself.
Mesanna	I like coke
Kyronix	Definitely coke
Hysteria	Hm thx
Mesanna	pepsi is sweeter =P
Mesanna	hi Return
Return of Ron	Howdy :)
Return of Ron	I just returned and transferred here becasue there was no pvp on Sonoma, Do you have any plans to entice former pvpers to return? Obviously there are still alot of pvm players :)
Mesanna	yes we do
Return of Ron	Can you get into specifics?
Mesanna	yes we do have plans so keep an eye on the newsletter for more details
Return of Ron	Thank you
Ma Nerva	hi
Mesanna	hi Ma
Ma Nerva	i have concerns over mibs, seems its getting worse, i can open a hundred and get no white ancient sos. We used to get 5 ish per 100 opened
Mesanna	we can look at it
Ma Nerva	thank you
Mesanna	but we have not made any changes to the delivery rate
Ma Nerva	it got worse around hi seas
Ma Nerva	also can we get a pie dispenser turned
Mesanna	lol no
Mesanna	wait a pie dispenser?
Ma Nerva	its hard to host a pie fight with no pies, this would of been perfect for a pie fight
Mesanna	your EM's can make them
Ma Nerva	ill ask him thank you
Mesanna	thank you
Mesanna	hi Kozilek
Kozilek	Hello can we get a mouseover display for pets that has age/owner & a craftable spittoon deco & can we get more health healed when a wondering healer res's us
Mesanna	the pet request for age/owner, we have had a request to hue something on the pet to show its theirs like a blanket, saddle, something along those lines, is that what you are talking about?
Kozilek	i mean like just move the mouse over it and it has it where it shows the name
Mesanna	we will look into it but it would depend on the owners to display it
Kozilek	how about spittoons added to tinker menu & more health when resed by a healer
Mesanna	not sure about the spittoon and we will talk about the healer
Kozilek	thank you all for everything
Mesanna	most welcome
Blessed	*removes hat* Hello Mesanna

Merlin	Hello. Thank you for coming to Atlantic. I hope you and the development team can get to this shard more often.
Mesanna	hi Merlin
Merlin	First question for you… something I would ask you add into the next newsletter.
Merlin	Can you give an official explanation of how the Eater properties work on armor and gear? Something that has a formula and example possibly?
Mesanna	yes I can do that
Merlin	The publicly available examples on the internet are few and far between and not quite clear or concise.
Mesanna	I can do that
Merlin	Comment for you: Thank you for allowing some developers, like Bleak and Kyronix, to reach out to Stratics for comments, such as those regarding changes in PVP. It has been a hot topic of discussion lately. I hope your team finds the feed back from the Stratics crowd to be valuable.
Merlin	Next question... regarding Shadowguard roof encounter. Will you be adding bosses to the roof encounter any time soon? so that the final four bosses would always be different rather than the same four?
Kyronix	Not in the immediate future, but Shadowguard was built to be expanded on So the oppurtunity is there
Merlin	Ah. Thank you.
Merlin	Last question… any sneak peak or new information you can share about upcoming publishes, specifically the pet revamp ? =) Alot of people are buzzing about it .
Mesanna	I promise as soon as we get final details we will give more information. I will say that the first big publish of next year is a pet revamp
Merlin	Good to know. thank you for the confirmation.
Mesanna	specific details will be released at a later date
Merlin	Well thats all I have. I hope you enjoy your time on Atlantic and plan to return soon.
Mesanna	thank you
Mesanna	Greetings

Patriarch	ello mah lady
Mesanna	Greetings
Patriarch	curious to know if we can make turn in points account wide like other currency
Mesanna	this has been brought up before, we would have to rework the system
Mesanna	so its time vs reward honestly
Patriarch	is it possible to make a garbage can bigger then?
Mesanna	? explain?
Patriarch	like more than 125 items at a time or one that can instantly delete items like at the bank that we can lock down at home
Mesanna	well we have to protect people, we can toggle it to delete immediately but if someone puts something they want in there its gone, no way to get it back
Patriarch	you can insert a menu similar to imbuing
Mesanna	you mean a warning gump
Patriarch	yep
Mesanna	like are you really sure you want to delete this
Patriarch	you are about to do something dumb do you accept?
Mesanna	we will talk about it
Patriarch	if they agree to it then its a done deal. cool thanks
Mesanna	but we would not accept any responsibility for trash
Patriarch	wouldnt expect you too, there are many ways to lose items in this game
Mesanna	yes there is
Patriarch	well thats all I have
Mesanna	ok have a good evening
Patriarch	thanks for letting us play another year
Mesanna	anytime
Mesanna	hi Hobo
Hobo Joe	hello, so I got a couple for you. Some are related. I noticed a few bugs with ships. the powder charges when removed from deed but to 10 stones each you have to unstack and restack to fix.
Mesanna	stacking issue what is written up was brought up earlier, we are going to look at that.
Hobo Joe	the logs you get from ship loot dont show type on commodity deed and magincia vendors dont reconize them
Mesanna	wait, they do not recognize the logs or the deeds?
Hobo Joe	nope, not the ones from merchent and pirate ships
Mesanna	which one
Hobo Joe	they reconize normal logs from the ship but any other type they dont show wood type just says logs
Mesanna	ok we will loook at it
Hobo Joe	not ash or oak and magincia vendors wont take them
Mesanna	ok we will look into it Hobo
Hobo Joe	then want to know if we can get more custimazition on ships, not as crazy as house but things like decals for ship sails and sides.
Mesanna	we will review that when we redo that system

(Missing the final part of this meet & greet.)
