Mezix the Enchanted

Virg — Sun, 20 Apr 2014 22:45:01 +0000

Well in light of the recent events i think now would be a good time to make her a LA/MA NPC boss.

She could even drop either LA or MA, making her use double-fold.

Casual Roleplay

Naema — Sun, 20 Apr 2014 14:27:45 +0000

Hi. Forgive me for being so mentally dense on this subject, but I was wondering exactly what you meant by "Casual Roleplay," and Im asking for specifice definition.

What is the difference between 'Casual RP' and Hard core RP? or Casual RP and Light RP?
Would getting involved with the dev team, setting up an event, living, breathing the event be considered hard core? I think yes, but is it casual too?
Is writing a story in forums for some time and adding to it every several days considered hard core RP? Or is it casual? Does it become Hard core role play when the dev team adds to the story like the one on "Capturing a kitin?" or some other story?
is Casual RP just engaging in pvp for a while, then going back to your regular business of leveling after the pvp is over? Or is that light roleplay?
is it casual roleplay to go around using the emote: " warns Naema of her impending death?" Or is that Light RP? Same with attending a politcal meeting 1 time?
Just looking for clarification is all,
Thanks

yeah, there seems to be some problem receiving mail to gmail address.

it worked before, but now I too have email stuck somewhere in gmail

The mail that got stuck was received by gmail server .69.27. mails going to .69.26 get thru ;-)

I used email forwarding by my own domain so mail was received from forum and sent to gmail by my server and I got to see the logs.

Maybe it works tomorrow ;-)

Just a follow-up. Still no verification email.

More pvp?

Victoriacamper — Sat, 19 Apr 2014 04:37:31 +0000

It was a different situation when those players left the game: a merge had just happened and all OPs were on stake, the faction balance had not settled yet.

Its not easy/nice for some to be attending battles every 2 days with no rest in between, that is what burnt out most, including me.

Lowering the cost for a declare is not the solution imho, as i personally wouldn't want a low level guild declaring constantly on my q250 OP whenever they have raised the dappers for it, the way i see it, it would only increase guilds 'harassing' one another by constantly declaring to no avail, and again, endless battles can burn out players.

As Bittty mentioned in another post, and i completely agree with him on this, something that would trigger more OP wars could be more balance between the factions, because if you have a better chance to win at something you will likely risk it: e.g i wont craft an item with 5% success rate but at 50% i might consider taking the chance. How to make the factions more balanced though? RP? Changing guilds? I don't know, personally i don't like people who change factions as to me they don't have loyalty towards those who helped them become what they are now; I'm not much of a strict roleplayer either.

...Another thing to consider for increasing the frequency of OPs is the actual cooldown period on them, i don't remember what it is but when an OP is declared on, it is blocked for a certain period of time..

Anyways, just my thoughts.

The games future

Elvanae — Fri, 18 Apr 2014 21:20:47 +0000

Like I touched upon in my last post, a lot of people got "burned out" for a number of reasons and during the period where there were a great deal of back to back OP battles, a lot of people left.

I would say overall that a lot of Kara masters have left the game when I compare it to those master who remain from Ari. Right now, I believe the main issue is that the rest of us who remained realistically need to work on a lot of skills to be able to match the Kami (who I feel have retained more master players).

And that is what I believe the situation to be at the moment.

I don't feel it has anything to do with the "value" of the OP decreasing. Armageddons hold a Q100 OP and I would hate to lose it just as much. To me, ownership of the OPs doesn't just provide your guild with the cats/OP mats (of which I feel cats are still very important if you have low lever players in guild - in fact being a HO, I have to find multiple source for cats) but is ask a symbol of your status and who can say they don't feel pride about what they own?

The OP mats have just as much relevance if you want to provide your guild with the best gear possibly, from Q50 to Q250.

I like Irfidel's idea about the lower Q OP's costing less to declare, but it would still be a faction vs faction thing I believe which would not help to your idea of lower level players fighting over them, especially where there are some guilds who have a mixture of level players.

Re. Rotoas, Rangers, and Roleplay

Zorroargh — Fri, 18 Apr 2014 17:41:12 +0000

I disagree with you, Ozwomen, I consider me as "Rangers" and I always defended the mix of our points of view, searching any win/win solution for both communities.
I was a "ranger ambassador" in Matis meeting, sharing their anxiety, suggesting to work together, for instance with rotoas, and even with the study of the kitins, a very interesting project.
But, sure, I was not present in the English event because my English is not sufficiently fluent.
Trust me, I am very unhappy, more as player than as "ranger" about what happened.

Would you like to know the bottom of my mind? I think that the rangers faction is dying, same as it passed with trytonist...
A lot of of us are too tired, waiting for so many years without nothing at the horizon, and now are going out.
Therefore, you can come back... a win/win solution is only a ranger's dream.

Stranded: The story of a lost Tryker

Halie — Fri, 18 Apr 2014 17:01:44 +0000

[OOC] This story was written for fun and posted in the hopes that more people will become interested in casual roleplay. Personally I'm not too into politics and faction stuff, and I just can't get into all those complex discussions enough to participate.. I want to do rp that is just fun and simple that anyone can do without too much effort. This story will be updated periodically with Halie's ongoing adventure as it is played out in game...If you happen to see Halie around, feel free to say hello to her! She has had a rough start to life and could use some friends. I hope you enjoy the story :) [/OOC]

Halie awoke with her face pressed into hot, dry sand. The sun blazed down on her tiny body, and she felt pain everywhere. Her head throbbed as she slowly sat up, wiping sand from her cheeks and crunching grains in her teeth. Everything ached, especially her hip where the handle of a small dagger had been pressing into her side, but she didn’t seem to have any real injuries. Looking around, she saw nothing but dunes, a cloudless blue sky, and a small herd of four-legged, horned creatures wandering over a hill in the distance. She tried to spit out the sand from her mouth, but her mouth was too dry.

A large travel bag laid a few meters away, its contents scattered about in the sun. She tried to stand, but the pain in her head was too great, and dizziness brought her back down to her knees. She took a few deep breaths and slowly crawled over to the bag to examine its contents.

Scattered across the sand were pieces of clothing and armour, a number of small packages wrapped in rough brown leaf paper labelled “Exc. Gen. Raw. x999”, and a long staff with a rounded hook at the end. Inside the bag she found a small axe, a few more armour pieces, some tools, a large bodoc horn, and a package of dried rendor meat. Halie immediately grabbed the bodoc horn and opened it up, spilling cool water down her chin as she drank eagerly. She wiped her face with the back of her hand, spreading the precious spilled water across her burning cheeks and forehead. The water helped calm her pounding head and clear her whirling thoughts.

She couldn’t remember what had happened, where she came from, or even her own name. Tears welled in her eyes as panic rose up and threatened to overwhelm her, but she fought them back, taking deep, shaky breaths.

As she capped the horn and put it back in the bag, she noticed a small leather bound book tucked inside. She reached for the book, but the sound of clinking armour signalled the approach of guards from over one of the dunes. Her heart raced as she stuffed everything back inside the bag and closed it. She stood up shakily and lifted the heavy bag onto her shoulders. The guards marched closer but were not walking directly toward her. They were enormous in their full suits of heavy, intimidating red armour with angry full-faced helmets, and they carried menacing weapons.

“Where am I?” she whispered to herself, her heart still racing.

She stood frozen in place while the guards marched past without even glancing at her, and disappeared over a dune. It was only after the last one vanished over the sandy hill that she realized she could see a pillar of smoke rising from somewhere over that hill, distorted by shimmering waves of heat.

The hot sand was soft under her feet, making it difficult to walk up the hill. Every step forward was half a step back. She used her hands almost as much as her feet, and the effort was almost too much. When she finally rose to the top she fell back down to her knees and stared in awe. A city sprawled under the burning sun, enclosed by massive, impenetrable walls. Squinting, she could just make out a path leading up to a heavily guarded entrance, and a small building just outside the city gates. She stood up again and began walking towards the city. Maybe someone there would know who she was and where she had come from.

As she approached, she could see that the small building outside the gates had a corral and what looked like stacks of feed bales piled up behind it. A few large animals with long trunks and small, intelligent eyes were tied to posts near a front window.

“Mektoub,” she mumbled to herself with a small jolt as the memory surfaced. She knew she had seen these creatures before, but it felt like it had been in a past life.

Just as she reached the path, Halie looked towards the gates of this huge city and saw that the entrance was surrounded by guards and blazing fire. She started toward them, but fear overcame her and she fled to the stable instead and hid in the shade between feed bales, desperately hoping nobody had seen her run.

How could she enter the city without knowing her own name? Who would listen to her plea for help? She would be considered a homeless beggar and thrown out like vermin, or worse. She shrugged off the travel bag and opened it up, rummaging until she found the book again. It was a diary.

Scrawled on the inside of the front cover in smooth handwriting she read the words: “Happy birthday, Halie! We are so proud of you. Fill this journal with stories of your adventures! With love from Mom and Dad.”

“Halie,” she whispered quietly to herself. The name, like the mektoub, gave her a jarring sensation as a memory snapped back in place. “ My name is Halie, and I am 12 years old.”

She began to read.

To be continued...

Binarabi's Uncles

Binarabi — Fri, 18 Apr 2014 14:37:42 +0000

Bina picks up her Igara quill pen, dips it in Stinga juice and, in fine green ink, writes a hasty letter to her Auntie

Dead Auntie Birra
I am quickly writing this letter to ask you to send at least two of my uncles over to help me out.
Preferable ones who are sober.
They will need to be ready for any fierce battles and must not use any foul langauage whilst they are with me. We will need to go on quite a long and dangerous journey with a very big battle at the end ... this does not mean they can pack their bags with barrels of beer or bottles of Stinga Rum!
Do not worry about clothing them - I will make sure the look presentable
Yours with heaps of love and in haste as always

Bina
(Daughter of your sister Mac'Doughan Cerveja in case you've forgotten)

PS. I hope the nasty kincher bite on your leg has healed over, though I hear that the O'Biroy Clan make very modern peg legs.

PPS. I might need them for a wedding so they will be here for some time, I'll provide the guns.

*Bina ignores the smudges she has made and folds the letter in half, tucks it into the folds of her pet Izam and throws it up into the air in Temple Hall Area, Zora City*

open poll for server's feelings on camping

Talkirc — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:58:53 +0000

i still say just put all mat's on sale at raw matireal merchants, then the only reason to kill anything is for the fun of it, provided they could be limited quanties and insane prices, say a Q250 sup mat is 250k dappers per mat, and the supply is say 10000 mats per type per month. kills many things at one time, creates a "fast" way for campers to get what they want, and let the hunters of the game have fun hunting, gives us something to waste dappers on (for those of us that can afford to) and give everyone something new to complain about, (much like my post will surely do anyway, lolx)

Any regular treks?

Irfidel — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 15:55:41 +0000

Of course it's always good to join a guild for the company and the fun. But imho the reason to join a guild should be because one likes the people (that requires to get to know them beforehand), and one likes the in-game attitude of the guild (emphasis on roleplay or not, encourages or discourages PvP, kami/karavan/marauder/ranger/trytonists/neutral alignment, etc). It's always good to look around before joining any club.

And, like Bitty, I'd encourage you to just ask around. There's a long weekend coming and if you ask around in universe channel or in your language channel (english/french/german), it's quite likely that folks might organize a Trek. Just be aware that a single Trek from one city to one other easily takes an hour or two. If you want to stop in between to admire the scenery and maybe get a bit of storytelling it can become a full evening. So don't be alarmed if noone has the time on the day you're asking.

During the Easter time, Atys usually celebrates the days of the light. There might be fun events, spontaneous things happening. There'll surely be a bunch of eggs all over the place which are worthwhile to crack. But should the event team plan some bigger things - which I don't know - then, again, possibly people don't have that much time for Treks. If that's the case just ask around, what's happening, and if you could join the fun. Check the forums and channels for announcements.

Many people also team up irrespective of guild membership.
That aside, Phaedra's Tears is definetely a very friendly guild and fun folks to travel with, so a good choice anyway, especially since the date befits you :-) (No disclaimer required, I'm not a member - I'm guildless by choice)

Welcome to Atys! Have fun and beware of the Yetins!

Leaving Silan too early

Talkirc — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 15:55:22 +0000

i've found after making some f2p toons after the merger that doing missions in silan have nothing to do with fame, what i was speaking of was due to the resets at merger, thus nothing you do in silan has any effect on your fame.

i agree that those would be good guide lines for requirements though, as those are things that always seam to be an issue with players that leave silan too soon, because we always seam to be telling people how to do those things if they have left silan too soon.

Of Goo, and Weapons....

Naema — Wed, 16 Apr 2014 04:27:57 +0000

Something was strange....
She woke up outside her apartment about 100m away, several Gingos were dead around her. She decided to leave the area before the rest of the pack came back. She returned to her apartment.

She reopened the box and removed the corrupted igara skins and paused for a moment...I am going to try to craft with these. I must know more about how they affect crafted items! She began to quietly inquire to her guild about what kind of items take stuffing to craft, it seemed to make sense armor would take stuffing, since she mainly crafted Range weapons....

"Range weapons?"....she said outloud as she pondered the thought.
"I bet i could take out all of Pei Ruz's corrupted Igaras with one shot with a goo Launcher!" she chuckled.

But maybe they were resistant to Goo? She pondered on the thought of accidently spreading goo with a launcher, what a disaster that would be, and yet she knew corrupted animals had superiour strength, so a weapon made of corrupted mats could be strong indeed! She could not keep these thoughts from reoccurring in her mind, though she knew how dangerous the idea was. The Zorai had already banned any crafting of the Goo into anything!

'But this was not the land of the jungle.' She thought. 'In fact, apparently some of our scientists have one or more samples they are researching on. So why can't I do a little investigating of it myself?' 'I Bet my father did a little researching himself!'

Another avenue she would persue would be to ask around discreetly if Matis scientists found out anything about the goo. After all, her father said he supplied them with a sample. (or more?)

She wondered how to go about finding out more information about the goo.

The only thought was,

'I must ask the members of the Masters of the Goo tribe if they know anything. I know they will probably tell me nothing, but i must try.'

She had just returned from Grove of Umbra after investigating how they captured a Kipesta. She hoped they were not infecting them with goo, but the idea how they captured it intrigued her.

She also wondered if there was any other tribes that know anything about the goo.

"Hmm the Black Circle have some in their camp!" I can try there too. There was another tribe that escaped her memory for the moment, but she would recall it later.

She shut the box with the igara skins and diabolical feelings crept over her, she decided to don her heavy armor on and go out and kill somthing, She didn't know what, but she put on her brightest clothes and weapons to even challenge any homin who dared look at her the wrong way. Some even tagged her as a warrior not to mess with, and she had the look. Certainly some homin would want to test their mettle against her.
She went down to the bar...

Насколько я знаю дело было так: ками пообещали NH ОП -> NH ушли из игры -> ками отдали ОП другой гильдии -> NH вернулись, почему-то обиделись и стали караван. Eikichi наверное сможет больше рассказать.
История с заставой (Demon's Crossroad по-моему) случилась задолго до моего прихода в игру. Как я помню из рассказа Норба, ее им обещали за участие в какой-то войне между альянсами, но не дали. Вот он и обиделся на тот альянс. Переход в караван произошел сильно позже и не был связан с этой заставой. Вообще лучше спросить об этом у самого Норба.

Hunting the sorcerer and the sorcerer's hunt

Baboc — Tue, 15 Apr 2014 19:39:30 +0000

# 43 – Jazzy

Fair Haven...
Winter morning…
Cold wind… freezing even…
Sunny weather…
Dawn is quiet indeed! Jazzy, back from an end cycle rest, treads once again upon the capital’s surface.

Something’s wrong… but what…?

And then… it’s settled!
He goes towards the prisoner to have some talk with him, same as he had done already to immerse himself a bit in the Demon and understand his insanity before taking action to transfer the marauder in a place safe for him and for the lakes inhabitants.
Jazzy was walking confidently because he had already found the perfect place where he would have Ezek imprisoned…

Something’s wrong… but what…?

Jazzy got the answer very quickly.
He stopped dead, fixed glare, wide eyes, without shivering, he saw… he discovered… in short, he had his answer: why the capital was so quiet this morning…
Ezek wasn’t there anymore!!!

A quarter of a second had allowed Jazzy to observe the place in all its details, a thing that wasn’t usual for him (Bai Nhori Drakani could still bear witness for it!)

Breathless, eyes now empty, body tensed, arms seemingly inert along his body, Jazzy was thinking at full speed about what had occurred. His mind filled with flashbacks: Ezek’s capture, the interview with Xiaomei, Anonyma’s pains, the talks with Sovyc, Nizyros’ threats, the involvement of the Awakened (…) and… what he now sees before him:

A sap puddle, whose appearance could only reflect the illness of the prisoner because of all sorts of drugs, poisons or kind of goo. The dull green of the puddle, already quite disturbing by itself since the sap of any homin is normally shining and glow the sun light, was stained with dark glows!
The two chains which had hold the prisoner are on the ground, cracked at the level of the wrists, the sand still bearing the marks of Ezek pacing up and down all day long.

Ezek is hurt, for sure! He may even be dead!
But his body isn’t there anymore!
Who has done that, who has removed Ezek?

How could such a thing be allowed to happen?
Or, rather, how such doings can occur without Jazzy being informed?

He couldn’t let all this story disappear as the corpse of the prisoner!
If only for Anonyma’s honour…!

Two weeks later, Bittty, in dented heavy armor, takes off his helmet and calls for a stinga rum from Ba'Naer Liffan. He takes out his letter-box, checks the ink in the flask and puts pen to paper.

Winderly 18, 4th AC, 2577

Nair-Wilk --

It is with some discouragement that I must report that my worries of the previous letter have proven to be true. The kitins have pushed through again and resurrected the Mounds in Witherings and Verdant Forest. I had intended to patrol somewhat earlier, but guild matters intruded.

The terrible and atrocious white kitins are as agressive as ever an there is still no visible sign of the rotoa plants. I can only hope that Cuiccio Perinia is studying what has happened with them.

I trust that the beginning of a fresh cycle finds you well.

- Bittty

Bittty seals the letter, and attaches it to one of the mail Izams. For a moment he forms a link with the tiny but effective brain of that avian, and it flaps off headed towards Almati Wood.

Arispotle Syndrome

Mjollren — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 02:32:30 +0000

(by the way, I think we're rehashing arguments made in Daomei's thread...)

Exodus (atys)

if you do no faction role play, you will make all the others go away.. in the end.. because you will win that shiny armor (just an example) by all means necessarily and they dont, because they relay on you to be a part of the faction and you are not, because you dont see it that way.

What you describe is roleplay versus powerplay (or even normal playing, for crying out loud).

Some people like playing personas, some people like playing themselves. One choice requires you to willingfully look away from mechanics and posibilities in order to build your persona; the other choice forbids you nothing in terms of gameplay (and in fact, powerplay means actively searching every nook & cranny for a way to get ahead).

There is no question that powerplay kills roleplaying. It always will in mass games, because it's a lower common denominator, people first play a game because they're interested in the actual game (objects, mechanics, artwork etc).

It's not about how people see things, it's about how people prefer things. These two player categories don't really mesh, and as such they'll always come to a clash. There's little way to bring together Fluffy Bunnies (whose motto is almost literally "We do not provide an alternative world to live in") and Seve Noir (or whoever said "We treat all communication channels as roleplay").

Bring a game master into this and force everyone to RP under threat of expulsion (actively filtering, hey, it works). Or make a very compelling case that events can bring together role and mechanics, by actually organizing events that tie things together, and hope this catches on. The event where Matis-aligned players were allowed to help the Fyros nation was however a very weird experience for some of the people involved.

As it stands, your proposition is just a dreamy wish that a coherent player base will materialize out of thin air with no external intervention. Zero chance to happen.

[Multiple responses] PvP/PvE rewards and ideas

Virg — Sun, 06 Apr 2014 14:13:08 +0000

Hello once again devs who are hopefully reading this.

I will ask again and hope a dev responds. Having thought long and hard (and argued even harder) for my ideas to be put forward and listened to I got 2 responses from Tamarea. I was initially thrilled. The forums actually work! 11months down the line I see no change. It was said they were set for "long term implementation". How long is a piece of string I guess springs to mind. My issue is not with this.

Instead I want to see the progress that is hopefully being made. I doubt it would take much to to add these to the dev roadmap yet my request was ignored. Why? I offered to read through the forums myself and help the devs out in this. That was several months ago. I was told the devs would get back to me but they haven't. Clearly the devs don't need help reading the forums then. So what is it? Why can't such a simple task of adding things, things that you agreed would be implemented, to the dev roadmap be done?

Furthermore some ideas were put under consideration. Can I have the results from these? Dare I ask have they even been considered??

Can these subjects be added to the dev roadmap please under the following headers:

In progress:
These ideas were set for long term implementation. As such I would like to see their progress after nearly a year.

New NPC bosses
PvP trainer

Verification of possible implementation:
These ideas said they would be considered. If they have been turned down I would, at the very least, like to know that. At the very best I would like to know why they have been turned down. If they have been accepted could they be added to the dev roadmap. If they are still under consideration could they be added to the dev roadmap.

Addition of PvP points as an alternative to crafting or dropped NPC pieces.
Improving the stats or dropping the price on the kami/kara/marauder/neutral skirt.
Finishing the kami/kara/marauder/neutral armour sets.
Special Civ faction armour.

Thank you,
Virg

Karu (atys)

actually 'tries to execute' statement is true.

Gosh, I must admit you're right, thanx for the information ! *_* Even if the program does not run normally, it's still executed. I would never have thought it would be implemented this way. Even on FreeBSD and OpenBSD where it's written in C, it still execute the program.

Respawn in marauder camp

Talkirc — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 19:34:55 +0000

thinks about the upper branches project he's been working on as he reads sub's last post :)

that's right i'm still alive, though no in game these days, lot's in life keeping that impossible.

still think the mara's should have a respawn in their camp, at the tp location would work (hint hint)

Kitin Studies - Capture a Kitin

Naema — Fri, 04 Apr 2014 06:03:26 +0000

The young female Matis warrior dropped her sword, then dropped to her knees, bowed her head then started crying.

"We fought so hard!" she thought. Why have they returned?

She slowly looked up at the mound constructed by kitins of the deep at knoll of Dissent in the forest. It brought sorrow to her heart. A feeling of despair emanated from her that she could not get rid of. Even all of the Kings soldiers have left! Where were they now?
The kitins of the deep have returned, several types running all around attacking homins. Maybe not as many as before, but still, they were very aggresive.

"I thought our solution of planting Rotoas trees on the mounds would work for sure! Those thorns on the roots were a sure solution, and very nasty!"
But apparently they were not. What other solution did the Matis have now?

She was very sceptical of the rangers because she was scared of termites in her forest. But she heard reports of it helping in other areas of Atys, so she comptemplated it for a while.

'If it is the only solution, and it seems to be working, then why should I be opposed?' After all, the rangers helped her out so much In the Starter camp where she first recieved her training. They meant to help us to defend ourselves, not be sinister to us.
If they did something that got out of hand, then all homins would help out to protect against the threat she started to believe. They only meant good for homins.....

Naema left the knoll of dissent to reflect upon her people and the Rotoa tree, the beautiful flower that so adorned her apartment, and why it wasn't working on the kitin mounds. It had such thorny roots! It was so hard to keep alive as a house-plant. She wanted another so bad to nurture.

She wanted to know more about Ser Erminantius's research also because she wanted to help, but alas, she was not a vassal nor a noble. She decided to keep on helping the Matis in any way possible if they wanted help.

In the mean time, she decided to keep a wary eye upon the Masters of the Goo. This idea kept creeping inside her for some reason....'A goo weapon....? What can we craft with Goo...?'

She tried to dismiss it, but she was Matis after all

"I must learn more!" She thought.....
