IDEAS FOR RYZOM

Talk -- you have one misconception. The Camps may NOT get built. There is nothing to guarantee that. If we do not build them they will not get built. At some point it will be too late.

Even if you run a few of the early runs -- do them. You don't have to be able to run all 6. The mounts are pretty damned sturdy. Put on HA and you can blast past almost all the aggro. Just be sure you leave enough room to shed them before you get to the next stop. The only mount I've lost is one I lost when I went AFK in Fount Porch Workshop and Djambi happened by.

perhaps i'll give the missions a shot, but still this isn't directly what the thread is about, sure those missions pay faction points and dappers, but if they get built, or don't get built, sooner or later those will end, and it will be back to NH to make dappers again (jeweler's are poor toons)

still think much of post #1 applies after all this time ( 7 months stale, lolx)

The supply missions are still there. 60K for a couple of hours work if you do the whole run. 10K per station, even if you only do one or two stations. Reliable, unlike NH, do not require running around to get stuff.

In short, I disagree with your evaluation.

60k and ~30 minutes (that's in desert, others are longer), less faction points and you risk dying in the high end regions which makes it difficult for newcomers and f2p to run them.

In short, these two devices are different. Improving NH is a valid task despite the existence of camps runs.

But you can get 20K in 20 min. and not hit the high level areas at all. You don't have to complete the full set of outposts. You can return to base camp and abandon the mission without losing rewards. With a bit of guidance it's trivial. Plus you don't have to run all the heck over creation to get your supplies to turn into mission results.

New Horizons is not and as far as I can tell was never intended to be a primary source of dappers. It is one of several, and the "improvements" strike me as nothing more than cosmetic.
