IDÉES POUR RYZOM

+10 Yes! As well as more multiple stage missions like "The Dagger of the Lagoons".

+1 for completing them (somehow, see below)

As far as i remember the reason why most rites are unfinished was that the original rewards have been considered not well balanced. And indeed, balancing is a very complicated issue with rites. If they make rewards powerful (like fyros story 2, no serious crafter will want to be without it) they encourage civ neutrality / hominism - but devs clearly don't want to do that.

There are 2 alternatives imo: Making new rites that are not civ based (see kincher and kizoar rite which are based on rangers). The downside is that those need to be created from scratch, the existing rite texts are bound to civs/tribes.

Or removing high fame requirements on rites. Reducing it from 3X to 24 would at least allow 4/6 civs to complete them (neutrals, 3 aligned civs, no enemy aligned, no marauders).

Hmm... maybe there could be enemy aligned npc offering the same mission? Imagine a matis in (or close to) pyr: 'Hey, i got a good buddy at barkers. Go find him and tell him i sent you if you want to learn how fyros make more durable items. He's patrolling in oflovaks oasis. Be careful, the barkers must not see you talking to him.'

@ Ulykus

High Fame requirements are not the issue. Even if a Rite would require 100 Civ Fame - you can always become a citizen of this civ, do the rite, renounce citizenship and go to a diffirent civilization to make another 100 Fame rite.

There are people who wouldn't want to renounce their civ, quit their guild and become aligned to their former civ-enemies just to get a minor advantage... it's not sincere and clearly not meant to be that way.

The same answer would apply to all marauders who say they were missing some rites or npc from their camp.

Might be a way for the power player who doesn't actually care for who he is aligning with.

Nakari and I have been discussing this and she presented the start of an idea during the last Assembly of the Awakened to provide scholars of each nation a way to study with all of four nations rather than just two as they can now.

We don't know if anything will come of it but will give it our best efforts.

They did make a great new quest system where the WebIG stuff just looks like normal text baloons (and it's fast aswell), they also added a great "random dynamic" wich I loved during the marauder rite.
So I'm pretty sure new missions/rites are coming, I can't imagine them doing all that just for marauders.

Explination of the "random dynamic":
The new system gives ppl doing the rite a random guard name from the database of new guards in each city, when lucky you could get an easy guard in for instance Fairhaven (a guard easy to pick off), when unlucky you could just aswell get a guard in the middle of pyr to go assasinate (don't forget at that time every guard is agro on you).
I can see that same dynamic being used delivery quests and probably other types of quests, the random element could add to ppl having to explore more instead of brain dead folowing guild chat over and over to do a quest.

I've enjoyed doing the missions in the Encyclopedia because they build up to rewards etc. It is a real shame that the quests are incomplete.

I know some players play differently but for me missions that give rewards for completion is what I enjoy most.
