IDEAS FOR RYZOM

i think everyone is seriously missing the point here..

Who's owns the OP , who gets the mats..etc is not an issue, the complete lack of OP battles is the problem and one of the reasons many players are leaving Ryzom, me included.

OP battles are FUN and without them one of the best elements of Ryzom is missing.

Unfortunately the needs of individuals or guilds is being put ahead of the game as a whole and that is slowly killing the game.

I truly believe that getting OP battles back into the game takes precedence over everything else and that unfortunately is player led and that's where the problems arise.

I hope that you guys can sort this out as it may attract players back and keep a game that I have loved playing going for a long time to come..

Altering game mechanics to FORCE something has rarely been a Ryzom thing.

If you want more OP battles then get involved in your guild / alliance / racial / faction politics and make it happen.

Ever since OP's were put in a point of equilibrium was reached, GL's worked together to distribute, share, and maintain a general state of fairness with OP resources.

If OP battles are THE thing, in your opinion, that makes or breaks this game i'd suggest you start leveling the most important skills in this game..... making friends and having fun.

Bones,

We have guilds that all they do is complain and whine until someone intervenes and gives them what they want.

Anyways +1 Cramer and -1 Newtronious (whose name I remember well *grins*)
We need something other than the dominance of game, with no battles, by a very small number of guilds

And if I declare on anything ('cept gvg declares) then kami come out to support and whoever is fighting us is wiped - not fun!!!

Making an op belong to a guild for limited time would at least get the circulating a bit ...

I agree with Cramer to a certain extent. In my opinion though it is not just an issue of a lack of OP battles. A lot of players are giving up on the few OP battles that are taking place. In fact, the factions are now quite unbalanced. There's only so much effort one person is able to put in and infact, when there was a period previously of a lot of battles, people left the game. So an increased amount of battles with unbalanced factions will not necessarily make the experience fun for a lot of people on the weaker side.

For me, iwe are faced with a large unbalance of the game which this idea will not solve. I think that if implemented it would only act to widen the rift between PvPers and non PvPers, the latter of whom would not bother with the battles and the former might suffer from players leaving and thus their numbers dwindling... not good for the PvPers and not good for the game.

Where is the French response to this one - posted it to French forums and they had a load of ideas

post was pre-forum merge?
