Lost Guild of Atys has been quite generous with me I really don't need any other material assistance.

The one form of help that I think is vital is that if someone sends a Regional tell asking for "rez", ALWAYS respond to it if you are in the area and have "rezzing" ability, even if the request is from a stranger. I think "rez" should be given free -- there should be no expectation of getting dappers or items in return.

XP penalties for char death in "Saga of Ryzom" are harsh, and giving "rez" will save a fellow Ryzom player quite some time of needless grinding.

Unfortunately it appears you get generous magic XPs for healing, but zero magic XPs for "rez". Perhaps the Ryzom devs could change this. Give some decent amount of XPs for rez -- so long as you don't rez same player more than once in some reasonable time frame (30 mins?).

I don't think anyone will disagree with what you said, Amphiaraus, except for what you say about XP for rezzing. It's true that raising healing magic in ryzom is a team only possibility, and that sucks, although it's logical on the other hand. Getting xp for healing would mean tons of XP more that we can now get, so i think this could again be a unbalance in the game.. Don't really know, though.

Someone said the skill tree in Ryzom is well balanced, and that's a very hard job in my opinion.

Well, if you happen to ever need res in zorai lands... just drop me a tell

Giving xp for a rez would create too much of a potential exploit unless they added a limit to the number of times you could rez a given homin in a given timeframe. i.e. You and head to a high level area. I taunt a nearby non-predator and he kills me quick. As he walks away, you get to rez me for full xp and the mob doesn't agro on you. Later, rinse, repeat. XP with no risk.

I understand your desire - put some sort of reward in the system for rez's to encourage people to do it more often. Personally, the biggest reason I rez people is the "golden rule" reward. It's not in the code, but it's in the people around me. If I rez you, then one day, I might need a rez and you'll remember that I did for you. Surprisingly, that actually seems to be the way most people play it and it works pretty well.

Is it possible for a Ryzom harvester to be so successful that his or her activities affect the entire server?

In SWG I had multiple accounts allowing for a permanent fleet of 80 heavy harvesters. These were always on high-stats resources I had surveyed for with endless hours of effort, I despised static harvs. All my profits from resource sales went to the Rebels on the SWG/Flurry server - I had 24 resource vendors on seven SWG planets!

I was repeatedly informed ingame that the tens of millions of credits per month I was giving to the Rebels was affecting the course of events on the entire server.

This would be the ultimate form of "help" in Ryzom -- doing something that enhances the game-play of many other players on the server as opposed to helping a few.

Thanks,

You gain a lot more from running to Rezz someone than the devs could ever give you in XP, fame, or honour points.

Think of it as Real Fame.


Noin.

OOC: If you had multiple accounts and computers here and could manage to dig with all of them and them sell your mats to the local vendor at reasonable pices... then maybe you could make an effect. Having bots that dig while your not online isn't really the same...

However, if you owned an OP and sold your mats for a reasonable price on the vendors you'd come as close as possible to your scenario. It is nowhere near the same as having to actually dig vs. logging off and having multiple machines do your work. SoR is all about doing... if you wanna be a mage/fighter/harvester/crafter, you cast/fight/dig/craft.

The DP here is pathetically easy, 10 actions (with good to max XP) using your highest skill will typically clear your DP. The last thing we want is for this game to be like all the others (SWG, WoW etc.)... keep your bots, pets and rats that drop armor... I kinda like that you have to earn things here.
