IDEAS FOR RYZOM

Sorry for the multiple posts- would also like to state that this post was not in adress to guaeko (the marauder representative). I know of all the hard work he is putting in behind the scenes especially regarding marauder lore.

This is looking to those in other teams as this is an OOC idea for validation.

Maybe you want to edit this bit? :P

Im trying to lure people into reading all my words- wont happen if they think there is a lot more to come ;)

OK -- I have a serious question because I don't understand.

WHY do the Marauders need an OOC method of getting to Almati Wood?

The only reason (other than Ranger Meetings) to go to Almati Wood is to go to the Kitin Lair.  The only reason (other than some RP stuff) to go to the Kitin Lair is to get materials for use for four of the eight occupations.

There is already a complaint that the Marauders cannot do the occupations and should have their own.  That would/should involve RP and Lore expansion (Since the occupations do have RP Lore stories behind them.)

So, why is access to Almati Wood something so much like an emergency that an OOC/HRP solution is needed?

I don't doubt that an OOC tp to Almati is easy, since it was apparently easily removed from the NH transporters.  I don't doubt that there are Marauder players who would like to go to Almati Wood (for whatever reason), but why is it suddenly now an emergency.

Can someone please explain?

How about Kizokoo? Why should we be denied proper access to a boss? That is a good enough reason for me.. Other than that we can do occupations we just can't use NH (iirc). I will also point out that debating if we should be allowed or not is a mute point as the devs have already decided that we should be allowed access- they just have yet to actually give us access.

Hopefully having established our need to go to almati- the reason why I want an OOC teleport is because I personally have waited over a year for an IC teleport (some waited longer). It will take such a small amount of time to make an OOC teleport and stop a marauder having to ask nations/religions that they have -50 (or below) fame with to help them out- that notion alone is ridiculous.


As for an emergency Bitty. I can only speak from personal experience. It is extremely wearing everyday having to run to a kami temple to get teleported especially considering we don't have teleports in q50 zones. Imagine as a Kami being forced to participate in Kara activites.. or a matis having to ask the fyros for help.. every single day.. this takes a toll. It is forcing upon me an incorrect style of gameplay.

So in my opinion it is such a simple, quick, easy fix for a problem that should not be tolerated. It really grinds my gears (<-- nb. me being polite and civilised) that someone won't just stick their hand up and say "you know what- it is an issue- lets fix that in 10minutes- bam- done". I know the right people to do that are reading this..

It is not something that will take ages to fix! it just can be done so quickly you'd actually save time as you will spend longer reading my future posts about this issue than you would take to fix the issue!!

Virg --

Thank you for being polite and civilized.  I did note that. (*grin*)

Very good call on Kizokoo, though I think he also appears in other PR areas.  Thank you also for the correction on the occupations.

However, I still fail to see the emergency.  It may be wearing, but you chose a wearing Faction.  So did I.  (Only my investment in the torbak leather industry has supported my running habit to get to Bosses in PR.)  I personally would regard an OOC teleport as being at least as RP wearing as stealing a ride from an enemy faction, but as it is said, "your mileage may vary" and yours obviously does compared to mine. 

Personally, I would rather see an RP fix, and have it be fixed only once. (I'd also like to see it installed quickly rather than trying to make an event out of it. I think there is too much emphasis on making every little thing a major event.  Gaueko?  Are you listening?)

-- Bittty.

P.S. (and somewhat beside the point)
As for it being easy, it would be easy as well to establish an object that could be sensitized to your current location and then be activated to drag you back to it.  (This spell was called Lloyd's Beacon in the old Might and Magic RPG's.) That doesn't mean it would be a good idea even though I would like it very much.

He doesn't. Kizokoo only spawns in Almati Woods- there is a kizokin but I won't get into the advantages over kizokoo.

The emergency I guess comes from the fact if I have to run all the way to a kami temple again to check on Kizokoo I am going to throw my laptop out the window.

All jokes aside for you to understand where I am coming from the context is very important. I was told 1 year ago we would get an almati woods teleport- the ETA I was told was within a few weeks. Now yes I know there are plenty of things that need to be done in Ryzom- but this is something that can be temporarely fixed within 10minutes- so why can't it be??

Take for example this topic. Shall we argue over the emergency of getting a strikethrough option on the forums??

If we examine that- why was it added? The answer is two-fold:
A) It was quick and easy to do
B) It provided some benefit so a small handful of players.

I would argue this would benefit more players.

I am wearing a bit thin now talking over this all so sorry if I seem to be rambling. It is just incredibly frustrating when something that requires so little time could save so much time and provide a temporary saving of marauder-RP-sanity.

Just for the sake of all that is holy can this just be done? IT TAKES 10 MINUTES.

+1

Didn't see it receive emergency status, but as Virg has stated, maras go to KL for many things- Kizokoo, sup kitin larva and occs (products are useful) :)

+1 love it Virg

+1 (Marauder Occs are ihgher on my list though)

Not just Kizokoo but some Encyclopedia rites end with missions in Kitins Lair.  Why deprive Maruaders access, just because nobody likes them? (er . . .)

Daomei as usual you take the counter-stance. I could picture you arguing tooth and nail why it is fundamentally important for the in game experience to uphold the lore and how wrong it is for a marauder to have to go to a Kami temple.

When you always decide to oppose arguements rather than forming your own honest opinion you actually cross-contradict yourself with all your posts.

To me, you have lost all credibility.

Also Daomei- I would remind you to act polite and civilised.. saying we are children and have little toys.. well extremely condescending. Just because you are an adult and still need toys.. well.. lets not go there shall we.
