Ryzom

Tryker to Matis is a reasonably difficult journey. One must go via Lagoons of Loria a L250 zone. Ballistic Mystix has been sponsoring a Trek Tuesday event 7pm-10pm US eastern generally. You are welcome to join. Contact myself or Inifuss ingame if your intrested. As to the swimming once you have the teleports in Tryker not to much swimming is needed.

The randomness of the roaring, and the fact that it is isn't tied to any one particular mob, makes it grating on the senses. It seems you can only turn down all the SFX together, which means you loose the lovely ambient environmental sounds.

No sounds are random in Ryzom. If you hear a special "roar" somewhere, it is tied to a mob. Sometimes the mob is behind a hill, not so close so you doesn't see it.
It think the roaring disturbing you come from kipees, just move far from them. (sorry for my poor english).

As said the roaring animals sounds aren't randomly triggered, there is likely a kipee nearby producing them. It is indeed annoying when you have to be in a place near kipees though.

Also know that the swimming everywhere is really only in the level 1-50 zone of the Tryker environment. Above level 50 the Tryker zones are mostly open spaces too, more open than the Matis zones in fact.

There's no way to change capitals once you've chosen, the only way to get to the other capitals for the first time is to travel on foot, which is much easier if you join a trek by other players.
