I didnt know if I should have posted in my first bug thread or to just make a new since they are a days post apart:

I cannot see guards, the guard's name appears off screen but I can't see them.
The guard's name also appears grey to me.

Children are grey. Also they give no loot, not even clothing.

Orcs are pretty easy to kill, I don't know what difficulty they were on pre-alpha.
(Just stateing that they are very easy, killing 3 or 4 orcs one at a time back to back on a newbie wasnt much of a challenge for me, a small group of newbies could clear a large section of the main orc fort out no problem)

On a 2nd note if I should have posted this in the first thread I apologize the guard issue is fairly urgent, effecting game play, getting whacked by a guard that cannot be seen sucks

Try installing this patch and see if the guards show:

Patch I Download

Im having an issue with the children, not sure if u seen them spawn in masses last night. Ill have them fixed by tonight.

My initial idea was to keep majority of the orcs in groups of 2-3, so i kept them a little weak. I watched a couple players run thru them also. Ill buff them up tonight.

The guards didnt show for me either until i installed that patch. Drac you should probably include the fix in the main client so new comers can be setup right away.

I havent messed with the children much but i noticed that they are blue, but when u attack them they turn grey and you stay blue. They dropped 200 gold which obviously is too easy to farm.

I agree on the orcs as well. I took down a group of 3 no problem. With just 40% battle defense, 70% melee and a suit of plate you couldnt touch me. I havent tested it though since the plate armor change.

I tried the patch it doesn't fix the guard issue for me.

Yeah I noticed the cluster fuck of npc kids had me laughing

I also noticed yesterday the kids gave 200gp a pop + clothing. defiantly an easy gold farm.

A few more I found.

A skeleton spawned a bone helmet in its loot.

When you kill a dog the corpse displays as, a corpse of a AlphaDog.

When I log onto First Dawn my PC speakers turn down. If I'm listening to music it lowers the sound drastically.

• Very odd haha! I'll look into it.
• Fixed.
• This could perhaps be an issue outside of the client, i have not experienced this but i will ask other players and do some testing to replicate. If you don't mind could you tell me a little about your pc spec?

I moved about a year ago I had all my belongings shipped UPS, when they finally arrived the UPS man literally rolled a box off the back of the truck. That box contained my PC and Monitor, sadly I didn't pay the damages insurance fee so there was nothing I could do about it, I literally payed them to destroy my shit.. lol.
The computer worked oddly, for a few months then died not too long ago. I gave up on getting it repaired and I figured I'll just buy another gaming pc.
Needless to say I haven't come about doing it yet. My friend gave me his old 2001 comp we used long ago to play OSI on and its a total pos for even UO. It searches the web fine but other wise its shit. I've swapped a few parts from another older computer that doesn't run, The video card, Sound Card, I replaced the Hard Drive 2 weeks ago also, the original only had 14 GB on it!! Jesus Christ..
Eventually I'll buy another comp, meanwhile I planned on replacing the antique SDRAM on this pos, its hard to find someone still selling that out of date junk. I do think although upgrading the ram will allow me to play UO a little more smoothly.

Anyways, moral of the story is never ship without the damage insurance. no joke

Some more bugs:

Orcs rarely spawn gold.
(killed an entire orc camp and only received weapons and food)

If you lure a knight into an orc camp the orcs dont attack him, but he will attack the orcs one at a time until they are all dead.
(kind of an exploit, let the knight do all the work then loot)

I'm able to walk over the Mage shop display cases.
(just documenting this)

Daggers are bugged.
(I don't gain any melee with them and also they make no sound, swing, miss, hit, none)
