So, are other races helping out the remaining ones?

[beaut666]

If so, is there any plan as to where to go first?

I was able to dig the mats for the Tryker, but not delivery (the mobs ate me.) So, any groups or plans?

TRUDGE has moved to the forest regions as it appeared they needed the most help. As of yesterday they needed the 110q, 160q, 190q, and 210q mats for deliveries. They mats do not have to be dug from the forest area if you can find them anywhere else. We are running the deliveries but try to make sure we have something to deliver.

See you soon,

thank you,

I do not know of any maps for PR spots. You can find a list of the needed mats here though http://forum.ballisticmystix.net/jforum ... t/583.page. If you do find a map or find the spots, please forward onto the Ballistic Mystix forum and we will get it added to the thread.

No and a little bit.

Yes, I do delivery runs with my level 50 alternate Character in Witherings.
No, I don't think that helps when nobody provides the mats required.

Technically I could help the Matis, but I don't. Technically the Zorai don't let me help them, because Trini is a Tryker Citizen.

But the main reason why I lost interest in this event is the change of the delivery rates during the event. The raise of 0.14% to 1.25% per delivery felt like a slap in the face to all people that invested time to bring the Desert and Lakeland Surveillance camps into existence.

I like the fact that there is an event that allows to do things other than the normal 'day to day business'. But I don't like the implementation. It's immersion factor is - in my opinion - close to zero.

I helped the zorai today. Helped digging q60 mats, together with Mercellus. But it looks kinda grave for the zorai, cause there are only crates ready for the first 2 towers...

I agree with Trini about change of delivery rate. I was online thursday, didnt log in some days, and suddenly fyros AND tryker were finished on saturday. Please next time, let the players finish it at their speed, cause this feels like cheating.

What I don't agree with Trini is that the immersion is close to zero. Yes, it could have been better, but beside that, I really felt I was rebuilding the civilization again, and the last time I felt that on Atys was a long long long time ago.

My lack of immersion issue is based on the lack of transparency in the construction of the surveillance camps, the concept of the delivery runs, and the fame requirements of the missions.

The foraging of raw materials is fine, I like that mission mats were brought to the attention of a broader audience in a global scale event.

What I don't like are the delivery runs. I think it is stupid to carry one parcel of building materials from one surveillance camp location to another. To me it would have been more logical if I had to carry one pack each to the surveillance camps. So one to Winds of Muse, one to Bounty Beaches, etc.
And the delivery then should have advance the progress the same percentage per delivery, until the camp is completed. I don't understand why one parcel first provides a higher percentage than the same type of parcel at a later time.

Then why do the delivery missions have such a high cool down time? Aren't the camps needed to be build fast?

I can understand the fame requirement on the delivery missions, as I understand that no one would like to give the precious building material to an untrusted homin. Now I don't understand the fame requirements on the foraging missions. What would be bad, if someone with a low or no fame provides building materials?

There are things that were done great in this event and things that need to be improved. The dynamics of the event were really put together quite well and the time frame in which the world events are being given to us is to be applauded. Many of us want more events, many of us beg for more events, let's try to remember to let the devs and event team know that we do appreciate the events and tell them what we liked and didn't like so they, and we, can learn from the experience. I would think a new thread should be started about that on its own if the Ryzom team doesn't post one after the event is complete.

Though there have been frustrations, I have, within the big picture of the event, enjoyed this event very much. I have found if I did not dwell on the tracking list that I could remain immersed in the event for what it was given to us as. As I look around the forest region it saddens me that not more homins are coming to the aid of the Matis (and I assume Zorai). Within the immersion of the event, the kitins are threats to all of us, no matter where our homelands are.

Can you explain this? Because I dont understand what you mean.

Sx isnt a tryker citizen, (yeah shame on her!) she has become a homin without a homeland... But i could do the tryker missions (digging and delivery). And yesterday i did the digging for zorai too.

(then again, because I am without a homeland, I have positive fame for fyros, tryker and zorai, and most likely for matis too, although i don't know why...)

Delivery missions require 10 racial fame and digging 15. You do not have to be a citizen; however, if you are a citizen then you recevied double(ish) the honor points.
