FKC, welcome Melinoe !!!

If you're going to discuss gamebalance and mechanics, wouldn't it be best to open a new dedicated thread to it, where everyone can have their grown-up say in it instead of hijacking this thread where you know nothing good or constructive will come from it due to people's bias towards virtual property?

* nods, blushes, shrugs, steps back * -- but no point creating a thread about game imabalances, outposts and spires concerns, etc. it's like talking to a wall. Last post from me in this thread (although I reserve the right to further explain myself if what I wrote was misinterpreted )

Well done all for keeping a potentially flamefull thread civilised

[kaetemi]

We didnt invent the words Kamivan

No, that was me, for an unofficial trivia bot, long ago.
And the original meaning was: "Someone who worships both the Kami and the Karavan",
not someone who fights against his own faction, or whatever it's used for these days

Also, A female tryker is called: ...
by phone.

[...]

Whose fault is it? would Outposts that gave no significant rewards be worth fighting for, for the sake of fun and PvP only? And I have similar concerns considering the upcoming spires. I am aware and I have voiced these concerns about imbalance, lack of fun for the losing side for long.

The fault we all see.... :/
I overall am happy I am here and I appreciate Ryzom much more than I have ever appreciated SWG mutatis mutandis.

One thing I am still longing:
You go and scout an opponent base.
You prepare an attack.
Do the politics, gather allies.
Declare, fight and (maybe lose but let's accept you for once) win.
Then a team of crafters has to work to set up the base while the fighters protect them both from NPCs and players.
And finally you all run, it will blow up and it does!

A whole town is defending it, several guilds attack and defend.
It was a big battle.
And it was all for the fun, for the honour in battle, for the pleasure of strategy and the pleasure of using your skills.

I do hope to have again that pleasure.
I do hope to see cats as cheap as dappers.

Melinoe is attacking Whirlng Stronghold @ 2300 GMT, 1900 EDT Sunday !

We play to have fun as most of you do... when 3 times within 2 minutes members of Nexus (who claim to be Karavan and include Kye, the Kami attack master during the last battle) dragged Kinchers to us IN THE OP and died at our feet, I got a bit hot headed... Zerlin's ignoring of the CoC and our rights as paying customers only made it worse... I made a call out to some friends to see if anyone would support Melinoe (we have had enough) in an attack on these guys.

We want to make a point as well as take their virtually uncontested OP back into the fold of the Karavaneers not fighting for the Kamists. We had enough support to go it with those that said "Aye" within minutes. I intend to attack any Kamivan that continue to claim Kara and play Kami until I am broke (I been playing awhile). For now I intend to attack Nexus (and ANY guild claiming karavan and fighting karavan) until they lose their OP or play the role they prefess in the forums and elsewhere.

Melinoe does not want this OP and there are others we will transfer it too ASAP. We WANT to remove it from Nexus and give it to a Karavan guild. One that supports the Karavan in more than words...

[Off Topic Kinda] I think Zerlin and some the CSR team are not supporting those of us who try to play their CoC properly by proper enforcement of the CoC. Unless more speak as one voice we will be muted and told to stop whining as some have been told. If our guild members are acting foolish and griefing I ask that we police them... I also ask that you expect the CSR team to do the job of enforcement they are empowered to do. If they don't enforce ALL of their rules, NONE of their rules matter. [/end rant]

Some may think it folly to publicly post our plans, but the wrongs here are not a secret and we all need to make ourselves heard by our actions. There are 2 wrongs here and we can control both on some fashion if we stand together. We should expect players to be what they say and we should absolutely expect to get service by the support team that is part of what we pay for. It's typically the same poeple getting away with the same things, and the same CSR folks not responding. Is it worth $15 to have to deal with the peeps while the support team stands by idly watching ?

Now i guess the speculation can stop?

As allways seems KA using time zones against europe players...so early in the morning on monday...mmm...giving a chance to the kara american guilds outnumber the battle again...jeez that must be a coincidence. Luckly in Barcelona 11september is not a workable day and at least spanish players will be there.
As for the OP situations, good job to all the matis guilds trying to make an Empire in atys and make lose interest to ret of the community
Ofc Nexus will have the support of the Riders btw

I would like to point out to you, that the kami do the same to Kara. 11am on a week day when most kara are working? Hmmm...must be a coincidence. Before you start pointing fingers of blame, take a look at what your own faction is doing. This is a war, it's not ment to be fair.

No, I think these things need to keep being talked about. People take silence to mean you approve.

The Kara are more numerous. 'Underhanded' tactics are more understandable, if not excusable, from the underdog. The Karavan also has a greater round-the-clock presence from what I've managed to ascertain.
