IDEAS FOR RYZOM

+1

++++

+1 against camping again

+1 to merge both forums

+1 if only way to get a boss is to be camped then this mean start an alts war in ryzom and no1 want that.

Merged the two threads on boss camping.

Trees should be removed, the egregious camping going on atm is just pathetic.

+1 camping is far too out of control. please bring back the KP in PR to kill the campers ?

I would change my focus from running bosses to agro dragging on boss campers....

Messing up everyone else's fun is not the way to go.

Maybe changing the /target range to 10 when you're sitting in water? That solves part of the problem, although the person still can briefly exit the water, run the macro, and go back in.

Kp was the only thing that made Prime Roots different from above ground regions, High level areas are supposed to be difficult, right now there really isn't much difference between the roots and other 250 regions. This was content that was taken away from us and it has made foraging and bosshunting stupidly easy in the roots, bringing the patrols back would even up the odds in PR by disabling the camp alts and making it more difficult to camp the forage spots at season change. As for fun, what is more exciting than than having to deal with a KP or 2 while trying to kill a 270 boss? I just think PR supremes should be earned, not camped.

Daomei, Arugula --

I've chatted with each of you before, so you know my thoughts, but I'm putting them out here in public.

I have not seen any q250 sup mats of significance since the fusion. The only source I know of for q250 sup zun (admittedly one of four, but the only one I have verified) is already under aggro most of the time.

I dig solo -- and I am not an adrenaline junkie. In fact, I like digging and crafting because I have time to think and don't have to twitch; there are mats on the surface that I don't dig for that very reason. I'd love to have some sup mats to play with and make good stuff from, but it probably is not in the cards unless I dump PT and join a guild that has a lot of people online in my time slot. I'm not quitting PT -- it fits me. In addition, I'm not at all sure there *is* a guild that matches the stated criterion.

The KP activity before the merge meant that effectively I was shut off from almost all sup materials (I found a few places). It's still the same due to campers and the jumpstart claim rush at season change. So I guess what I'm saying is that we don't need KP to keep sup mats rare for solo diggers. It certainly doesn't look as if the market is saturated even after a year and a quarter since the merge.

If the KP are reinstalled, I would hope that they would be fewer than before. Having to worry about one coming by every once in a while is way different from being pretty damned sure that they would be coming by within five minutes. Further, because of their near-instant respawn speed killing them doesn't give you any particular respite.

Still the devs will do what the devs will do, and the Dev Timetable says the KP are coming back.

As a solo digger, I found the KP were much easier to deal with than all the player competition on the q250 nodes. I rarely get q250 supreme without KP. I'd like to see the portal guards back too.

As a solo digger I don;t feel that I am at a disadvantage to those who dig in teams. If anything I think I have an advantage, as I am used to digging aggo spots on my own, and can do so without waiting for others to be ready or willing to help. I really dont try that hard atm, but I have no problems getting sups, and dp, at season change and after resets. I might not get what I want, or as much, as I want, but hey ho. The only issue that I have with teams is the dragging, whether accidental or otherwise, and I fail to see how kp could help with that.

I would like to see KP return, but not the as they were. Diggers should be paranoid and face down dead in the mud, but we should also have the slim chance of escaping. Personally I would like to see a new uber kitin that wanders throughout PR, in small packs, and that you could not tar, and also was not always present in a region. Make us paranoid as well as dead, a bit like when on follow with Binarabi:P
