I have not, but I rmember reading somewhere that either the kami themselves will atack you or they will send beasts to attack you.

i do believe a guildmate or two of mine had that happened to them. they were harvesting in front of a teleport and the kami bar dropped to 0. the kami asked them to stop, they didn't and the kami smacked them around a bit.

ok replace a bit with 3k points or more per hit and it's more accurate a description

We tested it a few weeks ago, in dyron. When the bar is almost 0, the Kami starts spamming around with warnings about the land... Finally he says "Me very angry, take this!" and casts a spell on you causing 6000 magic damage. there were some screenshots floating around

Sometimes I just want to die. I'll have to get my guildiees to help me do this. Were you guys doing normal harvest, or strip mining?

At the beginning, normal harvesting, but I guess there were quite a few high level harvesters. When we saw the bar go down, we went for it,, but I'd say we kept on normal harvesting. Later we learnt that clouds and explosions may make it go down faster

The higher the Q of the area the more likely the bar is to drop, Dyron has a history of the bar dropping, but I tend to mine with a bit more finese than full out aggressive stanzas, so my bar tends to end up more than half full.

I would also assume that if your kami fame is low enough, your prospected nodes would possibly start out lower than someone with high fame. Not sure about that...but it would make sense.

Hello,

I am not sure we are talking about the same thing. We were referring to the Kami (last) bar, which is per harvesting area, not per player. We were using exclusively gentle actions, and the bar would move less than 1 mm per pull.

As the game stands now, the fame has nothing to do with harvesting or, as least IMHO very, very little noticeable effects.

when the bar reaches 0, the entire region is flooded with gun toting mektoub elvis impersonators (ala 3000 miles to graceland) and l337 noobPwnzors.
The region becomes a freefor all arena of massive death and destruction.

well that is my theory anyway.
there could always be kami nature activists...

that's be kinda nice, but what happens is this: first all harvesters who are active get spammed on each action, and when the kami has had enough everyone get's killed
