About 10 minutes ago, I had tried to interact with New Horizons. I get a "Please wait" message, and I don't know why. I have closed the dialogue, walked around, came back, and Still get this "please wait" message.

What's up with that?

It has been broken / bugged yesterday too. Raise a ticket, I don't think GMs keep an eye on the forum as a form of bug-tracking :p

Thank you. I will have to send them some offline email, then.

i think tickets and IRC are the best way to get the attention of the GM's but the forums should also be monitored for things of this nature given that it's also a way to report issues (i believe there's a dedicated section to issues...)

let's hope that they're rolling back the last change they made to NH, and maybe apply one that would minimize the previous issue like upping the "full" limit to 30,000 from 3000 (so that there's no danger of a friendly homin or homins "using" the systems to help reduce the dead-lock of always full systems)

based on bittty's 5 wares per tp (or my test results of 4 per tp, likely a fractional amount between 4 and 5 given that both me and bittty tend to enjoy testing things indepth to get an "idea")
600 teleports will ware the system down to 0, where if set to 30,000 it would take 6,000 tp's to ware out (and even i wouldn't spend that long, prior to the last "update" i would "tp" once a week in jungle about 200 to 300 times, taking about 30 minutes to open the system up to turn-ins for several days for everyone that wanted to {mostly doing this for myself but also for benefit of others that like the no hassle approach})

anyway, it's hard to tell what the issue is from the player side of things, all we know is that it's not working as intended.

Odd. My experience puts it at 3 with a chance of it being as high as 3.5

You have to test it at a quiet time in the server so that your tp's are the only ones in the system and no one is stuffing the mektoubs.

another thought has come to me relating to the amount of ware, i do my nh testing in jungle, i'm guessing bittty is doing his in lakes, it would be odd to find they ware differently in each land, but ryzom's been known to keep us guessing so i guess it's possible that each land wares differently...

Talk -- I have tested the usage in Lakes primarily but also in Jungle and Forest. As Siela seems to be able to tell...

I think you have a fair idea of my normal hours, so I'm a bit surprised that our experiences are so different.

ok to let the cat out of the bag, the spoiler that siela shared is the exact ware amount in the NH ark script. why we seam to get varied results is anyone's guess, i call that "the ryzom way", meaning that not everything is as it seams to be.

it's clear that the ware could be increased a little, given that the turn in limit is 36, a ware of 5 per tp means 8 tp's to turn in if the system is at 3000+, where if set to 10, it would reduce to 4 tp's, given not all systems are used as much as they are helped this would help to reduce the time spent telling NH to take me from point A back to point A so i can give you things.

i'm still firm in saying revert the last change and simply add a 0 to the 3000 making it 30,000. then when changing our mind the ware is still there, but the risk of hitting the bottom is far less likely. (should also note that while the change made forces us to tp, even if you change your mind, you still loose the 3,000 dappers if your fame isn't high enough to travel for free. to me this is more an issue then the system getting ware from changing your mind. {yes NH will charge you the 3000 as soon as you click on "transport me" regardless of what option you choose on the next bubble, if in doubt, create a f2p, run him directly to ML, find the Nh guy and with your 0 dappers try to see the tp options, and laugh at the fact that your broke and only wanted to see the destinations list.})

anyway, like anything there's good and bad parts to it, and getting it tuned right is a pain in the neck.
