This current invasion, dispite some of the 'issues' is helping the Devs evolve the game in to what we all want it to be.....

This just my opinion based of what I have seen happen in the past in the world of Ayts.................


we started with very simple missions

This lead to a stable mission system:

Take mission->do mission->receive reward
Take mission->do mission->give item->receive reward
Take mission->get given item->give item->receive reward
Take mission->talk to another person->next next mission

Then we had raids

Hordes of mobs spawn and attack
Fight through multiple lands with trigger NPC and camps


Then we had the Easter Egg Rites missions

Do a mission get something extra - information

Now we have it all rolled it to one event.

An ongoing event:

Mission that require you to collect stuff, give stuff, swap stuff for other stuff.

Actions that create results -> NPC generation

From what I have heard on the ATS, missions will also give SKILLS (stanza) as rewards as wells loot, dapper and fame.

This event has shown that an 'event' can run in real time, and for a long period.......

The old raids we fired, and then stopped suddenly, no after effects!

If this event continues to run after the next patch ...... one of the QL200 harvest areas in each land will now have NPC guard protection, which it is up to the players to maintain..... A LASTING CHANGE TO OUR WORLD!

and where am I going with this .....

This is all just the ground work to GUILD OUTPOSTS. We are play testing our future.

Form what I understand about outposts is:

They are player 'owned',
They have NPC guards, Traders, Trainers and mission givers,
They can be built upon buy the players,
They need to be protected from raiding Mobs.

I have not had much chance to fully get involved in this event, I have to work so with limited time in the evening, finding a balance group that can all get to the same place is difficult.

But what is event has shown me is that ..... the future of Ryzom is a great one.

Actions and reactions with a lasting effect.

Well spoken!

I wish to say that i think this event is awsome with the exception of the clicking maybe..

I bet you 1m dappers that all the event stuff will be gone after the next patch and rightly so.

No after effect. No evolution. No consequences.

And as for the guard protection: LOL.

The kitin managed to wipe out all guards at the event outposts in a single night when nobody was looking.

The only aftereffect we will see is that many high lvl fighters will run around with uber items for a while.

GD!!!!!!

You ar right. that would be nice, walking up to yor outpost and giving mats to create yor guards. In time they can even impliment super guards/turrets. I hope we can chuse in time what kinde of guards (magic, melee,rangd). This gives plenty of opportunitys. WoW and all the other mmo's dont have this (exept maby lineage2 but thats a bot infested stinkhole of a game)

If this is the game i'm looking at in the following months well you can be sure i wont eaven get in to the comp store ennymore for the next 6/8 months

Well it would be nice to see some new plan for a tool crafting skill.

You get a % of succes with it and can enhance it with Stam/Focus/HP/Sap. This would give the crafters nice tools and in ones give uber quest loot to crafter/foragers.

Edit: Posting it on the sugestion forum

@Sky I will take you bet what a million dappers between crafters we could even make it a sportsmans bet of 1 dapper as neither of us really need grinding cash ;o

I think you will win it because this like all the other things have been testing grounds .... each one about 40-60% right but huge holes that have spoiled the end result.

But you have to admit that each attempt gets better than the last..... if raids had always been

Server stall
Loads of kitins appear near town
DP mode off
kill frenzey
Server stall
Everything back to normal

I for one would have carried on playing in the sand.

But each event is growing in complexity.....

This event I think requires the player base to become better organised.

A single healer+fight can move between the BB camps give enough time and patience .....

I wana look to what good can come out of each of these things.....
You, and I respect you for it, look at them in a more realistic way.

However to me its a glimmer of what the game can do for it players, with more practice and feedback.... the 'click fest' can be resolved....

The fact that I am tryker and told to go to the MATIS MoR really annoyed me!!!!!

Nervax need to learn the Devil is in the Detail and work much harder on getting the detail right!

What they have acheived is great, I have played no game that has got me so addicted! However the shine so fair has always been dulled by little issues that drive me mad.....

I think they, Nervax, just need more experience and to grasp the understanding that our expectations are getting bigger than they could have ever planned for.

@Azal

If only a little bit of what I hope for gets implemented .... the 'big boys' had better watch out the this little French company.

Wel said! It is getting better, I think we where totaly unprepared for even this kind of event, shaped up and got busy only to be thwarted by bad design and implementation, lack of information and consequently understanding by players. The idea of this invasion was great! Some more testing on little details would have made this a much smoother ride.

The future looks exciting

Very nicely said. The events are changing each time. Nevrax is trying new things, things that involve everyone. Not just fight fight fight, then its over. That can get boring fast. And while I have made a couple suggestions about what they could do with this type of eventin the future, overall I like the idea and I like where they're going.

I want to see more of this kind of thing. Things won't get boring if the dev's stay this creative.

It is hard to reply with all things said above.

I agree with Neun that Ryzom is evolving. I like that! One thing why I lost interest in some MMO was that the world was standing still.

But I sure hope the Outposts wont work like this, otherwise I hope Evolution doesnt take one. I have been trying to provide guards in BB, but like Sky says, its hard when they disapear when you look the other way.

But most of all I agree with Geezaz and Neun that Nevrax has to work on details. (Yes Nevrax DETAILS!) Next time test it before bringing it online, because I know I heard a lot of frustration. (Including me!)

Maybe I will send in some more tickets about it today. Not to burn down the event, because the idea is good, but just the way it has been implemented...

Events occuring
but meaningless, and trivial
