Marauder Almati Teleport - IDEAS FOR RYZOM

Bones

Well many view PvP in general a failed experiment on this game so while we're at it let's get rid of Karavan and Kami too.

I wouldn't say PVP has failed, just its voluntary and doesn't occur very often. The playable marauder faction has probably made PVP even more scarce, since so many PVP'ers went Marauder and now are rarely heard from... :( And you don't see many PVP expansions or improvements planned, as it would benefit so little of the player base.

And Marauders ARE NOT the villians in this story! As you mention for all other homins we likely are, but for Marauders we are the heroes. Of course this is relative. But for us the villians are the Religions and Civs. They are the evil to be countered and making us go to the Temples to get to Almati is a complete joke. We can't have our own system becuase the Lore need to be verified but it is ok to send us to the Kami/Kara to get there? It is idiocy like this that makes players leave, not that Marauder life is hard.

I understand the Mara point of view, but the reality is still that there are 4 nations, 2 religions, and maybe the Rangers that at some level view Marauders as bad. This is so unbalanced that even if the marauder faction received the development (and implementation) that it desperately needs, they would still be mostly isolated and unwelcome...

I think the point of any game development would be to make the game more enjoyable and to attract and retain players- on these 2 criteria the playable marauder faction is a 100% failure. It is partly due to the lack of implementation and development, but also due to the unrealistic expectations by players of what playing with all fames at -42 or below would be like.

I would recommend taking the playable marauder faction out of the game, marauder NPCs make a much better target for discrimination and they can drop nice loot :P But most importantly the playable marauder faction is costing us players- our most valuable resource.

I didn't mean to hi-jack the thread, but I am sick and tired of losing friends and friendly enemies because they got bored and wanted to try being a marauder, then got frustrated with how incomplete it is and just stopped logging in...
