Encyclopedia
The current encyclopedia is still unfinished and most of its rites are impossible to finalize with the means at our disposal. Thus we have opted for the creation of a new encyclopedia, based on the ARCC tool, which will be much more flexible and quicker to implement. Its content will be designed by the event team and deployed in game by the devs.
When will the new encyclopedia be implemented in game?
The first rite of this new Encyclopedia is scheduled for March. Other rites will follow on a regular basis. The new Encyclopedia is the first dev priority after bug fixing.
Will I lose bonuses earned with old rites?
No, you will keep them. However, they won't be stackable with new bonuses: A bonus given by an old rite will not be obtainable a second time by a new rite giving the same reward.
For exemple, if you have a +50 focus bonus from an old rite, you will not be able to gain again a +50 focus bonus with the equivalent new rite.
We will tell you beforehand which new rites have the same rewards as old ones.
In practical terms, how will the transition from old to new Encyclopedia proceed?
Both Encyclopedias will coexist until the new one covers all old rites, after which the old one will be removed. You will still keep earned bonuses and be able to read Lore texts from old rites.
What advantages will the new Enclyclopedia have over the old one?
The new Encyclopedia will in time offer more content and missions for players of any level, in any field (geography, history, foraging...).
Moreover, it will fit into roleplay needs: Aside from rites open to all, there will be specific rites for Citizens, Patriots, Vassals or Initiates, but also for factions (Kamist, Karavanist, Marauder, Ranger, Trytonist...). Some rites will require prior completion of other rites, or will be restricted to some specific fame ranges or combinations. We aim for a flexible system, allowing everyone to enjoy specific content besides the one avaible to all.
What if my character is rewarded a bonus, but later on he does not meet the given requirements for the rite anymore, does he lose the bonus?
No, unless he completes a rite from another faction. For example it is not possible for a character to have bonuses from both the Kami and the Karavan rites simultaneously.
My non-reckless character seems to have lost its pre-merge bonuses, is this intended?
It's a known bug. Non-reckless characters have kept rites and earned stanzas, but not health, sap, stamina and focus bonuses. We are working on fixing this.
Miscellaneous dev news
We also give you the following news:
- All PvP item sellers will return to active service within two weeks.
- Kitin outpost towers and package delivery missions will be back soon.
- We are no longer feeding kitin patrols in Prime Roots, be wary of their return, as they will be starving! :-D
We wish you a good game on Ryzom,
