This is really unacceptable

[raynes]

I logged in and did the new Zorai rite and I have to say I'm very unhappy. I'm not unhappy becuase of what the rite is or what it involves. I'm unhappy because there NO reason why a rite like this should take 5 or 6 months to make live. Without telling exactly what you do, I will simply say it's the same thing you would do for an ordinary task, just a greater number.

Nevrex, Dev, Jessica all of you. Get your act together. If you have rites like these you should be putting them in the game at least once a week. Saying you can't put new rites in the game becuase they are complex or add new behavior to the game is completely understandable. But if you have rites where you simply have to visit places, kill things, or harvest items then they should be in the game.

This game news new content badly. Having to go 6 months without anything only to have new content be simple stuff that could of been put in months ago is frustrating and annoying.

I believe the reason they said the rites are taking so long this time is because they are not only making the rites but making the system for making the rites actually efficient so that they can produce a rite a week or so. I don't believe it is the rites themselves that are taking the time (which by your description of what it is, i doubt it in itself did take that long.)

in short: read xavier's articles(pay attention to the filters), they basically rewrote large portions of the game and the ritesystem was one such portion

Agree 100% with you Rayes this is unacceptable waiting over 5 months for this patch, I just imagen how long the outpost are going to take place to get here over 5 months too?

The outposts wont take too much longer. They are being tested now. They were presented at E3. They just want to make sure all the bugs and kinks are out of it then it will be released.

Same with the rites they were over 5 months in ATS, they are tiny compare to outpost plus on ATS only 30% of outpost are going to be there.

Remember that Xavier mentioned "it will include a few content elements". So, they threw in some simple rites that would have no be so simple that they do not require lengthy testing. I would not be surprised if these rites were implemented this week to have some rite content to this patch. Hope that the actual meat is coming soon without lengthy delay.

i tink one of my guild members did a new rite and the reward... *drum roles* u can put more markers on ur map!! yay..

[mmatto]

Well, given the complexity of current rites, I think rewards are quite acceptable

Not sure about it. Made them all but 3 crafting rites (2 fyros and one zorai, but working on it - need more crafting SP ). To me, maybe 10% of rewards are ok, but it's not about it. I like changes and something new and those rite missions give me that. Never had reason to go to Maidens Grove (what Matis needs to do in lvl100 area in Zorai? Ok, maybe start jungle harvest ), so it was nice change for me. Even ppl who tested that "lightning aura 2" say it makes no difference in combat, it was still nice way to spend some hours on something else but mindless killing and grinding (or leveling if you call it that way). Even stupid rite mission like "extra landmarks" (in last beta there was limit around 30 landmarks, but after i started to play again after patch1 i did'nt saw any limit, my maps are full of landmarks and this reward makes no sense) can give you some pleasure (and fame points). Day after i started lake forage to level ranged craft (tryker ranged rite mission made me to craft tryker ranged). I only wish they can put at least 4 new rites every 2 weeks.
