5.1 Métier de pêcheur

5.2 Matières premières

Q PtitBill : Je voulais vous soumettre un projet (qui ne sera pas traité dans l'immédiat). Actuellement les matières pour le craft proviennent soit de la chasse soit du forage.
Avec la team Lore nous avons pris chaque matière forée une à une pour en voir la "logique". Autant pour certaines creuser le sol est la solution idéale, pour d'autres nous avons des doutes sur... le pourquoi, la raison qui a fait que les devs les ont placées dans le sol.
La matière selon nos premières recherches qui est le plus absurde à trouver dans le sol est le bois sous toutes ses formes. Pourquoi les homins devraient creuser le sol alors que autour d'eux il y a des tas d'arbres de toutes essences ?
Ma question de ce soir sera donc... "et si on vous faisait couper des arbres !" Votre avis ?
Nuts : pour moi la raison est simple :  tout vient du craft... c'est relativement long et laborieux a monter pour ne pas inclure une nouvelle branche dans l'equation.... Imagine la galere que ca serait de monter armure par exemple... si on devait monter le forage pour la seve/huile/résine
et une branche bûcheron pour le bois.
Shaliss : c'est peut être les racines des arbres ce bois qu'on ramasse en creusant ?
Deed : c'est une planete arbre : donc on peut forer tous ça !
Shepeng : Moi je trouve l'idée intéressante, et je suis prête à discuter pour que la coupe d'arbres soit illégale chez les Matis. :-°
Nuts: L'idée est bonne, mais je ne vois pas comme vous pouvez l'implémenter sans casser tout ce qui est déjà en place.
Deed: si ca peut etre fait mais en rajoutant de nouveaux mps dans les categories existantes......
PtitBill : Les "nouveautés" ne seront pas forcement craftées de la même façon que l'existant. Si l'on prend par exemple les cannes à pêche, on peut avoir besoin d'autre chose que de boucle de bois, d'écorce.
Depyraken : je compte effectivement mettre en place des outils qui permettraient de crafter des cannes à pêche (ou d'autres objets). Je pensais par exemple à une scie. C'est vrai que l'activité de bucheron permettrait d'obtenir les mps nécessaires au craft de canne à pêche.
Nuts : Oh dans ce cas, je suis 100% pour PtitBill et Depyraken.

Q : Ptibill, tu pourrais nous donner un exemple de mp qui n'ont pas lieu d'être forée, parmi celles que vous avez recensées ?
R : Le bois : noeud, écorce et fagot et la résine. Nous n'avons pas traité les matieres de mission pour le moment.

1 Fishing Occupation

Videos, by Depyraken:
http://ryzom.nicetuna.com/data/images/fisherman_craft_fishing_rod 3.mp4
http://ryzom.nicetuna.com/data/images/fisherman_craft_fishing_bai ts3.mp4
http://ryzom.nicetuna.com/data/images/fisherman_fish.mp4

Depyraken: In those videos we can see how the fishing activity can be done: using craft of fishing rod making of bait and at the end fishing.
All of that work should help other activities ( even linked to it). I'm thinking about lumberjack.
In the previous video, I'm talking about problems that I saw and which need more work to be done.

Q: and all that only with primitive ?
A Depyraken: no the only primitive here is to give the fishing license.

Depyraken: I would like to come back to the fishing rod craft (or preparation of baits). This will give us more possibilities for others activity such as cooking, carpentry ... ( free your imagination... you can find others uses too)

2 others missions/jobs projects

Tamarea: The restructuration of the work between RT and RF, by the use of Ryzom Forge's Slack, will allow to finilise current project one by one. Currently, i'm working with PtitBill to know what needs to be done for each projects... like which tasks needs to be done by which group (RT side as well as RF).
If you want to join RF Slack, and so on follow the advance of each project, you just need to send an email to tamarea@ryzom.com or IG mail to Tamarea, or send me a pm on IRC by provinding me your email.

PtitBill: we have almost 12 projects running at the moment and 4 rites!
Tonight I want to talk about a project which i wich will take your interest : craft. The last time, i talk about lumberjack, this project will allow us to progressively with the collaboration of Depyraken, add new mats and new craft possibility. Not only on the level of weapons or armors but extend the craft to others activities, going from construction (wall), cooking, or new tools or equipments, potions (one of the proposal was : an anti-patrol).

I just wanted to take a moment to thank the team for working hard on 12 projects and 4 rites. October is coming and I'm super excited, even if things are delayed I am glad we have some updates.

Will apply for Slack so I can see the updates

Thank you Loved. The projects have been put in break a little waiting that all clients will be moved to v3 but it's nearly finished now, so they will restart very soon.

2016 october, 10th

- GM rights of the Yubo accounts have been removed, and in the future these accounts will be closed. These accounts will be gradualy replaced by new individuals accounts with GM rights and yubo access, one account for each Forge team member that asks to Tamarea. Each forge team member that created scripts on an old account will be able to ask their tranfert to their new yubo character.

1 Recruitment
The Level Design Group is recruiting! Mainly authors with lots of imagination to break as much as possible the routine of the current Rites, Missions and Occupations
Moreover, if getting their hands dirty in Ark doesn't frigthen them, that would be perfect!

Matis light marauder boss

Nuts: I will just add few words about a new project I'm launching with an other player in cooperation with RF.
First of all, we are only at the beginning of the project and nothing has been yet validated.

We are working on adding a new light marauder boss in forest. We already have few ideas about a possible scenario where to put the new boss etc. But we don't want to repeat the errors made with Pei-Ruz, we want to do something which is matching the Lore that's why we are still gathering informations about the known matis marauders.
We are hoping that one day (not in a near future but still) we will have this becoming true and we think it will be a good addition to the game that will benefits to every players!

If you have any question on how things are going/moving for this particular project, you can reach me here on IRC or through Tamarea. :)

so remove it.
