free xp for crafters ? in which craft tree ? ;-)
it's all good.. the last we want for fighter to start whining about getting xp from PK's too.

xp may be related to your highest forage or whatever land stanza you using.
need to wait and see.

There will also be a compensation for the Karavaneers, since the desert raw materials were giving an advantage to Fyros land foragers (mainly Kami followers).


How we will proceed : for each server, we will use the Kami sanctuary that is the most advanced as reference (which happens to be the same for all the shards currently - the Fyros one). We'll look at the percentage of construction items for each part of the building (Root, Trunk, Core); then we will transform a part of the Karavan Pedestal item stock to Column and Column of Justice items, to obtain the same ratio as the one on the Kami sanctuaries in Fyros land.

How is that fair ? , what about the Zorais or Kami Aligned Matis/Trykers ?

It should be all the Temples/Sanctarys get a bonus except for the Fyros based ones , Faction has nothing to do with the problem

My first thought exactly when I read about the patch... I know lots of Zorais who cant dig desert very good and none of them is aligned with the karavan.

would be nice if we got honor points for just rezzing someone

oh.. and why if i use a protection shield aura, when someone casts a spell just before i activate the aura, but the spell only arrives after the aura has been activated, do i still die, resulting in my aura being useless?

there seems to be few sec "kick-in" timer ;-)
or (just quessing) because dice is rolled when spell is cast, not when it arrives. (sometimes, sys info will give "spell resisted" before it reaches target)..

or blame lag, works every time ;-)

And also... the classification of homins as friends/enemies should follow the same rules as the factions, at the moment i have both friends and enemies in my faction, which is a little bit odd...

Also, some indication of amounts of mats held in storage would be nice, but that's probably a more complicated one. (unless the no mats left reply was changed to "i'm sorry, we have no resin/shell/whatever left.")

And i second the comment on the craft mission clickfest. It really is quite annoying.

Hmm, so Karavan gets yet another leg up and Zorai get yet another kick in the pants? Guess the blue guys are still too popular of a race :p

No seriously, the desert mats was one of the few things I think really isn't broke and doesn't need fixing so long as there are plans to add other environment types. Matis already got high quality excellent mats right next to Yrkanis and all of the Nexus. I was hoping Desert, Lake, and Jungle foragers might get a little come-uppance and usefulness.

I also enjoyed having a good reason to raise desert forage for once. What forage skill will I be raising now?

This reminds me of patch 1 and I hope Nevrax soon realizes that it takes more than a series of bandaid patches to stop another player-loss disaster from happening.

I only hope to can still get xp in any harvest tree... dig for hours just to get honour is not so fun...

about all other:
Me and Xyreen experienced as well the same problem of Katemi, hit magic protection aura but died anyway by magical attack/damage... blame lag? good point... but we died anyway...

Should be also an healer missions giver for the healers (off and def affliction too i guess atm don't give u any honour...) is not right who wanna heal or affliction (cuz prefer as role, cuz is too low level on fight skills or something else...) can't get nothing by it... healers are a proud class, why they can't get honour as well?

I like the work Nevrax did, even if I'm not a desert forager, don't love (different from "don't like" or "hate") pvp and much more... but if the digging in the old lands will not give ya any xp I'll start to be disappointed...
The Kami tolerance there was nonsense instead the fact the Kamis send us there to dig, lol...

try to think that:
Proud XipetotecPrime go to the kami representative camp just out of Zora to get his brave missions in the name of Ma Duk and all the Kamis... the mission giver order him to go in the nasty old lands to collect some resourcers to build up the mighty temple of the inner, holy, beautiful, super Ma Duk...
...few minutes ago the proud Xipe, after sneaking some damn kitins and eluded some Karavan people... well hidden in a fertile terrain begin to extract some raw materials in the name of Kami, Ma Duk and bla bla bla...
while he's diggin a blinding light appear in front of him, an unnatural voice says "U bad homin, u're getting materials!!!! ahhhhh uuuu!!! u damn!!!! die in the name of the Kami 'cause u didn't respect the nature...."

at this point the poor Xipe, still smoking after the blast, was at Kami tp trying to deicide if he should buy the inner mega galactic holy fantastic breath of the mighty holy.... Ma Duk 4 erase his dp or f**k all that and go to listen techno music under the stroboschopic light of the Karavan spaceships...

:D

have fun, see ya in old lands.
