and possibly a filter mechanism for your map, ie show only : mobs/nodes/beer/whatever etc etc.

That´d be a bit out of perspective here ;)

What you refer to as "sky" is actually clouds surrounding the mesa of Silan.
These "clouds" inGame I´d dare say are mists rising from the bark beneath the plateau,
and in OffGame words are something akin to the "mists of war" known from many Strategy Games ;) Covering what we´re not supposed to see yet.

hmm, fog of war and strategy games?... there will be enemy base with barracks of goo-soldiers and goo-tanks factory?...
Just kidding =)

And if a patch will be not only about marking layers, but about the location indicated on the map, than these are my wild ideas:
1. (and most unlikely) - they are going to open the way to the branches... (but there are no branches at that place ); )
2. there will be a "rainbow portal" (Elias Tryton, where are you?) from Silan to the mainland.

You are not quite optimistic, are you? :o

For the first patch after going pay mode, one could guess that this will be something more than the ability to sort / filter / color landmarks, if it takes them a few weeks don't you think?

Joking a bit, I must admit, that at least with regard to "dev screenshots" and "check what we are working on now" it's quite a step back: we have gone from uber karavan troopers and weird snakey-like Kami soldiers (do you remember the http://ryzom.com/images/devshots/devshotxx.jpg and so on? -- don't bother trying, link not working-- ).... to an R in a map drawn with flags :p . At least now it is easier to deliver what is announced :P

Yours,

No, not so much any more unfortunately. Got no reason to be. :(

I don't expect it'll be anything major... This is Ryzom after all. :p If they can't come up with stuff with several months I don't suppose several weeks will be anything like long enough. Perhaps by the new decade? It's not too far now. :p

Oh well, guess they've got an excuse this time. They were busy with billing. Though what they've been doing while waiting for it, I really don't know. >.<

Clearly the flags spell R for Ring. The number of different colors of flags represents the number of different severe Ring bugs. And the R being in the sky represents that I’d be dreaming to think they fixed them. :p

Yay for billing! :D

Regarding different colors on markers: excellent! :)
Now you can have different colors for mats, bosses or whatever you want. :)

Yeah, now I can mark Moyaku's trekking paths to remember which way not to take ;)
