IDEAS FOR RYZOM

Wow - there was?
Why?

An i too late to derail this thread even more? Out of curiosity:

Is it really impossible to decrease fame without the magistrate npc? I know that homins prefer that way because it is quickest.but can't you kill some Trykers somewhere outside of cities to lose fame? Or is this just to tedious to do?

I'm neutral in religion and citizenship, so i wouldn't know.

To my understanding due to Mara's disrupting Taliari meetings. I wasn't there; I know this only second hand.

you could kill guards but it would take an awfully long time to drop fame to -42. plus the regular tryker guards are quite tough anyway so you'd need a healer and/or nuker or a team i suppose.

Just to drop in a few points about some things I have noticed in this thread.

Firstly Shvet this has absolutely nothing to do with ganking, something which occurs on both sides of the coin sadly.

Secondly I think the Tryker guards are way too strong as it is. You actually run out of stam before killing them which is just stupid. Normal homins don't have tons of hp, Tryker guards shouldn't be an exception to this. Especially from a roleplay point of view Trykers have never been especially strong as a fighting race, why should their guards therefore be harder to kill than the Fyros? Also Bittty I wonder how long the marauders have been putting in petitions to have actual working guards. Perhaps that should have been prioritized over making the Tryker guards have more hp, which seems more like a personal favour than actually anything to do with game mechanics.


Thirdly I would actually be in favour of a small group (say 5) anti-marauder guards IF a few requirements were met and the guards were somewhat interactive:

• Location: They would have to be placed deep within the city out of the way of the places marauders usually go to. So not near the guards we have to kill as part of our rite, away from occupations and of course away from dear Subo's favorite sitting spots (Stables etc). The idea is to make them a fun thing for marauders to do rather than just piss them all off.
• Interactive: In terms of the guards being interactive this means that the marauders can actually get something positive from them, rather than just making the french tryker players happy. This would be an opportunity to introduce "civ points" for marauders, say you get a certain amount per kill.
• Difficulty: Not a ton of hp and incredibly hard to kill. Looking at it in terms of civ points, the totc run for normal nations is a walk in the park. However I do think the new guards should be social with the old guards so adds the interest of a patrol joining in the fight.

A discussion about this was had taking in feedback from all angles, and the results of that can be seen here

As mentioned in any additional feedback is welcome!

Holy .... Jena! The Event Team not only listened but did something and communicated.

(joking tone of voice) I guess that Mjollren and Subo have to re-sub. (end joking tone of voice)

Seriously -- this is a very good thing!

Thank you to the event team - the changes meet everyone's needs I think :)
