Warning : Launch of a Major Event Play Role in Ryzom !

[ldjaggy]

Ryzom is like the movie "Starship Troopers".
You have, time to time, to fight to save your life instead of gaining levels...

So where is the Brain Bugs? Take them down, and we can slow the hordes of Kitin!

Oh, and I want a hand-held nuke too.... It would be an awesome sight to watch a field of Kitin get wiped out in one single blast!!!

The "Brain Bugs" in this case are called "Exterminators" (how Ironic, for a bug )
They can be found spawning in every land, every few hours.

You can´t have a "hand-held nuke", sorry. But you can get a rocket launcher, that goes "BOOM" too

All else would probably be some kind of copyright infringement

I am sure Tomaas is not around to read this but maybe for others feeling the same frustration as he is.

I was in beta and have pretty much been here ever since. So I have seen stuff come and go.

This too will pass. My highest level is 187 even after all these years. But then I play game to enjoy it not to see how high I can go and how fast. I have a lot of newbie alts. So I do understand Tomaas. But saying that, each time I make a new one I learn something new.

Tomaas, I have no uber stuff. None what so ever. But I do manage to make it through. Because of the community.

I am glad you communicated with the Devs. But don't get mad cause they didn't immediately change everything cause you did'nt like it.
they are learning, and I am sure will get better in future. Giving ideas is what they need, not telling them you are going to quit cause they are not changing things NOW.

Just hang around and it will get better. But I would gather you don't have the patience for that. Maybe some day you will return. Enjoy AO, personally I hated it. But I also didn't post in any forum about how terrible it was. I just slowly slipped away. So see everyone has different opinions.

But of all games out there this has got the best community ever, you will see someday.

Good luck

Tomaas brings up valid points and is 100% correct in what he says, sad that some of the older players have the attitude they have.
It will be one of the factors that ultimatley kills the game "again"

Bottom line is ryzom needs regular new players to keep it alive and this event with the horrific communication and construction is only damaging ryzoms rep.

Even as a long time player myself i can see how almost impossible it must be to start playing ryzom during this event.
As for the "get a team" comments.... ryzom is vastly under populated who you gonna team with >.<

Too any new players out there cancel your sub and come back in a few weeks this really is a beautiful world with years of very enjoyable content for a new player.

I have been playing the game since beta
this kitten invation (again since they cant think of new things) is getting silly & this time you cant do anything else but kill the kittens (not like last time those that remember it ).
You have to use your equipement & team up with others to kill them (this using the life of your equipement etc and you cant even go and dig mats or kill bosses etc to replace your equipement due to there being so many ) . this making game boring not like the game is ment to be (kill kittens , kill kittens - boring boring and cant do anything else )
Before anyone says i beleave the devs have beenhaving so many complaints about this thats why they have come up with the brain wave of having on Thursday an event to get rid of some .
I am not surprised so many players have left the game if they think such a silly idea is so great . Hope next time they think of such a wonderful idea they think about it a few times & dont just take game over (you cant do anything but it ) with there silly idea (enother words if they do an event etc then let players have a choice if they want to do event or do something else in game .

Yeah! Really great constructive post! That must really help the devs.

That’s funny… My pathetic less that 100 combat / magic butt was grinding my jewelry crafting in one of the 200 – 250 surface zones last night. I could tell you which one, but I enjoy the peace and quiet of having the place to myself.
Does the kitin swarm make things a bit harder? Yes. Not impossible though, not by a long shot. Honestly the hardest thing for me since the invasion is to find a group of players in the 70 to 100 skill range that want to actually go hunting the swarm.

Good look getting more mats & glad you had peace crafting what mats you already had.

Yeah! Really great constructive post! That must really help the devs.

take it dont have kids then as the best way to stop kids making the same mistake is to tell them that they have done wrong BUT not all can understand that if they are kids them selves or dont have kids And they weren't sacastic remarks unless you think voicing your apinion is like alot of others have in various posts .

Anyway they hopefully are sorting it out on THURSDAY with the event so others & myself will be happy again to be able to do other things aswell as just killing the kittens .

I think everyone has some valid points, the event might or might not be everyone's taste, but that's always the case. I don't see the massive exodus with players leaving due to the event, if you think about it maybe more left if there were no events at all.

What's important to me is the fact Atys is breathing again, I know the other shards have a slightly larger event team, so communication etc might be better there. If you think the events "sucked", you are invited to apply for the Arispotle event team and make your own ideas and suggestions come true.

Killing the kitins can be a task for the players, but it doesn't have to be. Exploring all the new welcomer missions for example is lots of fun too, plus you get nifty plans as reward. I believe the devs added already to many different aspects of the game, the Kitin killing is just one of many things to do. So let's wait for thursday and give the Kitins a good spank
