Hey, I'd just be happy if they actually completed them. I think that would be a major milestone (not a timetable) for Nevrax.

I know that I have completed rites (which have unlocked encyclopedia entries) BEFORE I completed the initial amber cube mission, so I can't see any problem at all. I think it is a splendid idea, especially since it does not just disclose the locations of all of the rite missions.

Boy, for a community that brags about how good it is there are sure a lot of jerks around. The suggestion is simply to have the computer keep track of things that have been done. If knee jerk is the best response you have to offer in return then wake up and smell what you are shoveling!

missions definately need to be updated, although more needs to be done than just this.

while only a few bits and bytes more (ok, well it does add up) I would be concerned that the server was storing too much unecessary information about each account. Perhaps it would be better if it were stored on the client's computer.

I'm already wondering if the game keeps track of every enemy you encounter, as my newbie who's been to every land doesn't have the same monster and map selection in the Ring editor that my high level character has... and it's fairly selective. one or two lands for my newbie just don't have any new monsters or bosses.

What is unlocked in the Ring is based on your Knowledge of Atys ratings - this is simply a count of how many respawn points you have discovered in each region.

:rolleyes: Welcome anyway...

Taking a quote out of context, there was a post before about it and saying someone is a jerk is a very good entrance into a comunity. You have now started name calling, I think your post say's more about you then the quotee.

There are a lot of new players coming in these day's with all sorts of suggestions that older players react on. We all like to see new faces but sometimes it feels like somebody walked into your house and started redecorating, so you get less positive reactions and sarcastic remarks.

Once upon a time, in a land far away... Players made their own maps of places and notes were taken on their progression.

Now everyone wants to take all responsibility out of playing and have the game point them in the direction they need to go... My response was hardly knee jerk, it was spot on !

I've killed whole forests with all the graph paper and notes I used to take on games and maps that I used to create for myself with scribbled notes over every spare bit of white on a page keeping track of things. You are certainly entitled to your opinion Vguerin and you don't hear me bashing back at yours, so lighten up a little. It is a basic record keeping suggestion that games have been following for over a decade now to help eliminate the use of reams of paper and erasers and pencils and keep people more immersed in the game itself. If anything, you should be pleased that it would save so much environmental waste, considering the world we are playing in... :D
