Race's unable to meet

[toadus]

Well i love the game but this bit is really annoying me.

All other MMORPG's have lots of different races all hunting together - it makes towns interesting.

Why oh why have the made it impossible for us to get together.

I have 7 mates all on teamspeak and we are split 3 ways and are going to be for a very long time - if they had stated that it was impossible to get together, then we would of all gone the smae race - a bit boring but worth doing so we can hunt together.

at least have a direct teleportal link to each main town - at say a cost of 50k

that would open things up.


all you've done with the patch is made it even harder to get united.

iits like 3 little games with thier own little lands.

not impressed.

please sort this out its ruining the game imo.

Eh I'm in the same situation, friends prefer Matis, and I play Fyros/Tryker. So we play our separate ways... but I prefer that than having the whole achievement of meeting with other races going down the drain.

Dunno if you noticed but Ryzom is NOT like all others... which is probably it's biggest strength. Besides, how would that fit with the background of the game? The background here is much more important than it is on EQ/DAOC in my opinion.

Ummm - OK, getting to other continents is difficult and should be considered a major achievement when you do it.

But then again - people in our guild have managed to do it in less than 2 weeks of play.

Frankly, this is a major feature of the game rather than a design flaw!

I'm afraid if you want multi-racial teams etc then it's something you will have to work at .

Also remeber once you have reached a place, you never have to go through the pain of the first Journey! Teleport Tickets - mean instant transport after you have been to that place yourself.

I agree that Travel to other places should be a goal and worthy of praise.

I am a lot jelous that all the races, except Tryker, seem to have easy passage to the roots/other conts.

I'm in the group with Toadus and I'm sorry but its a pain in the ass.

I agree it should be difficult to travel but putting multiple monsters which do 1000+ damage by entrance ways just makes it ridiculous - and we've tried to meet up a lot. Sneaking is all well and good but everytime we've tried it there are so many mobs there its physically impossible (not hard - impossible) - and we've tried a LOT of routes.

This wasn't clear in the background of the game otherwise we'd have played the same race - and I'd agree that the plot shouldn't be compromised for this but its VERY annoying. It doesn't help that I hear rumours of it being made easier etc so we carry on with the same characters - and then find its actually been made harder in the patch.

If you think passage to the roots/other continents is easy you're having a laugh. Unless you spend your life playing this game or have an exploit to power level you'll be in the same situation we are - spent nearly 2 weeks playing and still can barely get out of your area.

Personally I'd place even one more difficulty to this: factions. I don't see why a Matis would be welcome in tryker land considering the background of the two races, if that character didnt work a lot on his fame with trykers.

[krone9]

thats a totally different issue - and one I agree with actually as its consistent with the plot.

putting spawn points of horrendous monsters by the entrance/exits to each region as a way of preventing people travelling is pretty crap imho

Just a correction, not all MMORPGs have all races hunt together, just look at DAoC where it's even impossible to communicate with players in different realms.

The only advise I can give to you and your friends is to re-roll your characters, it's early enough in the game to do that.

Yup but that's clearly stated when you create your character; the problem is similar but not entirely as you can still group a lurikeen with a celt, firbolg, shar or elf... But even if you look at EQ and go back to it's release, at level 1 creating a barbarian char, and your friend creating a troll, and a high elve wasnt necessarily easier than the current situation in Ryzom; running from Kelethin to Halas with a level 1 char was tricky, long, and dangerous (and there was also the faction problems with races like trolls being KOS to elves and the rest of the world)

Well seeing how some people are already in 100+ skills I guess a few of them wouldnt want to start over. Besides there's always the problem of prefering a race and disliking others; my friends play Matis, but I can't stand the Matis look or land... One of them finds Trykers look silly, and the other one doesnt like the desert. I play my Fyros alone

[toadus]

well we are all going to re-roll and start again so toadus will be no-more even though i've managed to get him to 62 fighter - i'm looking forward to meeting up with my teamspeak friends - we have to go tyker as its the only race none of us are currently playing - so it makes sense to all start with a new race - even though we are going to look silly and childlike.

MY only anger with this race not meeting thing is it should of been stated in the game details so 3 weeks wasted leveling could of been avoided.

redhawk and Ehlil, and all the other members of Circle of Light - it's been fun hunting together and i will miss you - but this game has forced me to start again. Maybe we will meet one day
