Recently in the saga :
A new day (January 20, 2005)
The Kitins' evil invasion plans came to a terrifying finale with midsummer. As the days lengthened and Homins strove to find some normality in the rituals of the high summer harvest it became clear that the Kitins were building strong, fortified war camps to consolidate their gains.
Their mighty war leaders Kipuryk were ruling the camps, directing the war in each land and surrounding themselves with the restlessly pacing Kinreys in great numbers. To those few that make it back from scouting trips alive, the glistening giant leaders were a terrifying and awesome sight. The Kitins were expecting their numbers to be sufficient to overwhelm the puny Homin troops and ensure final world dominance.

No offense my friend but it's really time for you to take a break and try another game.

[vinnyq]

*muffs laughter*

Danu, I think it's a sign when Raynes start telling you to take a break.

Seriously, I know it's been rough, but we are still enjoying what we have (some of us) and future looks good (albeit not as the pace we like). You should take a break or at least try not to dwell on it too much. THEY KNOW THEY NEED MORE CONTENT. Don't beat a pony to death.

[trenker]

Yes, the January event was great.

[amitst]

i just want another event like the one wher ei go tmy kami champion title, it was a special prize that doesnt disrupt game balance....but i can say im the only tryker with it, thats so cool!!!

Well, I'll take a chance here and say I agree. Yes, they do need to work on all of this, and yes, they've had more than enough time to do it. I love SoR, but since joining, I've only seen a handful of events that I found truly great. The stuff about a lost box and all that stuff is good for story, but little else. If one were to read the Ryzom manual it says the following regarding invasions, one aspect of some of the events:

Although some invasions will be used to drive the game storyline, many others will be triggered by player actions. The kitin do not like their scouts, workers, or nests being attacked, and will begin to retaliate against homin outposts if continually harassed.

While it does mention outposts, shouldn't this be happening now as well? I mean, we go out every day and slaughter them, yet they do nothing. Invasions upon the citites we now reside in would be something truly in line with the story. We survived a massive assault by the kitin (barely) and now they're just content with hanging close by the cities?

anyway, on to the other subjects:
Armor: 12 per tree is fine by me. Thats just short of 50 total with all the races. It might be nice to see a few more, but honestly, if you can't find something you like in 50 different patterns, you're prolly being a lil picky

Eleweapons: agreed. No point in having them other than looks. Love to see the price of these rocket once they actually do some added dmg.

Bugs: yep, lots of those..... still.

Outposts: no rush on those really. Yea, they might be fun, but something so critical to the Ryzom universe should probably be done right. Especially since many people will base the worth of the game on them.

Sys Specs: eh... not much to say here... I'm sure if you turned everything down, 512 would be fine.

Lag: Not that big of a deal really. I thought it would be, but its more just the occaisonal spike for me. What really gets me is the server crashes, the random drops, and the data errors that seem to still be around. I can understand it happening once. We all make mistakes. However, after that first time it should have set off warning bells.. "maybe we should fix that permanently so that people don't have to lose the characters/guilds that they worked so hard to create". Yes, I know making a game is not an easy thing. and No, I couldn't make one. Thats why I pay them to do it and for me to be able to play it. If I pay for a good, I want something decent. If we went and bought a loaf of bread, only to take it home and find its hollow, I think we'd have to say something about it. Well, the SoR Loaf of bread isn't hollow... its just not finished baking yet.

So at the end of this rant, what is it exactly I'm trying to say? well, when you bought the game (or if you got it on-line, downloaded the manual) it comes with a manual. For the most part a lot of that content is in the game. However, a significant chunk of it is not there. The manual is supposed to represent and expalain all that is in a game. Usually it turns out there is more in the game than the manual describes. However, for SoR its the exact opposite. The manual goes into outposts, guild missions, and diplomacy... yet we don't have that in the game. If SoR were to get the game up to what was in the manual, I'd be a happy homin.

I think it was their biggest mistake not to edit the manual to what was there, but to leave those things in that they thought they would get in quickly. I guess the manual was made by the marketing department =P
