This is an emergency, people. If you haven't played with the new changes on test center...STOP EVERYTHING you are doing in UO right now.
1. Copy your favorite Sampire
2. Go fight some pretty modest spawn
3. Watch yourself die. And die. And die again.
Repeat for ANY melee character with high dexterity.
Now, repeat for ranged characters.
This change is going to destroy EVERY non-mage, non-tamer, non-bard template. You like soloing anything in this game? Forget it. You have an...ARMY...of characters? Won't matter anymore.
If you experience the same things I just did, please go to the below website and post up some feedback. I recommend you go to stratics, cut/paste some of the more detailed posts, and submit that.
