Ryzom

Playing solo is possible. I've done it for months now. Yes, it's slower, and more difficult, but certainly not impossible.

After a point teaming tends to become annoying. Why? Because people are selfish. They are not looking for teams, they are looking for healers. Or for ele's. Or tankers. I've been there. Sounds familiar to you? "Need healer lvl 100-150 for hunting in FF". "Ele lev 130 needed in timmi spot" "Team looking for tanker at ocix place"

So what's the point of teaming in that case? To heal peeps who dont give a bodoc crap on you as long you dont heal? And even when you heal, they are too busy rasing skills to throw a heal to healer. To pull for peeps who allways forgot to heal you?
Imo this is the worst. People who does not need a team member but a profession. I refuse teaming whis this kind each time, and when I find out that I am part in a team like this, I quit, sometimes without explanation.

So if i ever refused teaming with you ingame, guys, or you saw me quiting your team, now you know why.

And back to the tread. There are no major changes in game.
And multiplayer not necesarry means you HAVE to team with peeps. It describes multiple players interaction. Could be social interaction, pvp, teaming, guilding, etc.
In this game, unfortunatelly, you have to team to advance. If you want to be a lone wolf you have to cheat (to kill shallahs :P ) or to have a huge pacience. Regenerating 3k of sap is quite time consuming imo :)

A team where the healer has no SAP/HP is a dead team so they never last long anyway. If you ever quit a team i was in because you were a healer and no one ever kept you recharged, then i'd say you made a good decision. The team would quickly die in either case.

Can i suggest teaming with friends or guildies? There are many, many good teams out there and i've only had problems like you describe a handful of times.


Now back on topic. There have been heaps of changes. Some of the stuff on the box is *STILL* missing, but the changes they have made have improved the game no end. Hopefully they'll get another 50 or so rites into the game soonish...

Well so far the teams i have been in have been great
Ive mostly healed, in fact that is what i prefer to do, i usually play a healer in mmorpg's anyways



About the changes, i was mainly wondering if for example daggers had been made a viable choice in melee, if heavy armor had a use now, if there had been introduced new skills in the higher lvl game, etc.

(yes i know some ppl claim daggers are a viable alternative, but when a pike costs the exact same amount of sta each hit, yet hits 4-5 times harder, id say daggers are pretty damn underpowered)

And about the soloing, no i dont play mmorpgs to solo but there was never easy to find teams in this game, theres not many people playing, theres no way to find out where people are other than a /who list for the zone you are currently in, and there are ALOT of lone wolfs out there for some reason. I see more people soloing than teaming.

Not really.

Useful at lower levels. At higher levels only for the HP and Parry bonuses (IMHO). Oh, and to look good.

Nope.

Put Turke in your friends list and /tell me when you're up for some teaming

your timezone is way off :/
im gmt+1

lol, only now did i notice ive been posting on my trial account all along...

Read back though some of this thread ....

Daggers vs Pike

Dagger low damage + fast hit
Pike high damage + slower hit

When fighting a caster .... dagger rule cas of the spell interput.

Dagger x 2 vs Pike x 1

You can equipe 2 daggers therefore more damage.
High stats drain can be overcome with good editing of stanza, and if you have a healer, it doesn't matter anyway.



Not finding a team....

1. got to a region of the level, you want to level. there is usually a team about.
2. hang around towns and build a team. (stables are the standard meeting place)
3. join a guild, the idea of guilds is to join people together.

maybe im a bit harsh but it seems you only came back to say it sucks and then leave again.
every question they answered you answered back negativly sounds like you are not interested in seeing the positive things.
and well as they all say soloing is possible but in most mmo you need a team to really advance. in my experience anyway.
also seems like your social skills are below zero because the ryzom communtiy is the nicest i have ever met you hardly need to be nice to them or ask anything they will help you out.
