Will we be getting raids back? [Submitted by martinr (EN)]

Ahh, another question regarding events! It's always touchy to answer such a question without spoiling the story (and I'm not even talking of having to face Ravna's wrath ). So I'll only discuss a technical side-point here: one of the reasons why we haven't run invasions lately was a stability issue. We have created some hard-to-catch server crashes with the last invasions, and we were reluctant to launch new ones before we had fixed the problem. Some work is being done on it currently and as soon as we have nailed the crash bugs and tested the fixes, we’ll start holding invasions again.

RAID engine displays mobs. If it wasn't on, no mobs would be displayed.

Grove of Umbra, Fount, any other sightings ?
have done a very quick run around tunnel of woe in knoll of dissent (couple of purples but with normal titles), hidden source, and fleeting garden, but wasnt 100% thorough, so good chance I might have missed them..

come on... you know what I mean

a RAID is for me an invasion, like we had a looooooooooooong time ago (October 2004 or so)

Actually, I would say the AI engine displays the mobs, and RAID is just a part or function of the AI engine. I would also think the AI system in general can function without any of the RAID functionality getting in the way.

As I understand it, RAID is just a label for the section of AI code that controls RAID-specific parameters. In other words, when a Capryni is drinking from an oasis, RAID is nowhere to be seen.

December 2004.

They drop claws and secretion so far. There is a new structure sighted in Fount Porch, still have to check it out.

And I can join the group that goes: "Told you so".

Also I wonder what the respawn rate is. Lets all group in Fount and the Grove to kill this infestation tonight. Show em who is the boss on Atys!

Good idea, I'll try to be there.

except to display the mob drinking

"Part three : The RAID engine – The art of mass combat
David Cohen Corval Creative Director on The Saga of Ryzom and CEO of Nevrax

One of the USPs (Unique Selling Points) of The Saga of Ryzom is undoubtedly our RAID engine ( Real-Time Army Invasion Deployment) which can depict up to 255 creatures on screen at once, and even more if you have a particularly powerful machine!"


Quoted from here ... http://www.mmhell.com/news/1/773.html

RAID - is not about displaying the mobs or the mob AI (both of these function independently)

We have had AI crashes - Mobs stand still or behave irratically
We have had mob display crashes - server stays up (landscape and Homins present) but NO mobs displayed.

Anyway - if this is an invasion as a result of joining the amber pieces, (Did I mention that it was a bad idea to do this? Oh yes, TOLD YOU SO!) to arms homins ... sure beats hitting each other with sticks fighting someone elses war.
