Discussion around "Creation of Ranger Rite" - DISCUSSIONS AROUND ONGOING PROJECTS

Found a bug that occured while handing in the supplies at the refugee camp which was preventing our team from being offered the next mission. There were 4 of us in team and we were required to hand in a total of 20 of one item and 40 of the other, which we did. The supply mission was removed from all our mission journals at this point but we could not get the next mission, just the request to place the supplies in the crate and come back and talk to him.

While looking through my system info window I noticed some lime green text that was about the hand ins (I will refer to Item A rather than spoil it for others) "item A 10/20" on my character and "item A 15/20" on my alt. I asked the other team members to report what thier system info window had recorded for this item and they both reported "item A 5/20".

That both had the same figure "5/20" and no one had 20/20 was suspicious and we decided to gather some more "Item A" and see if that would complete the mission correctly, which it did and we were able to recieve then the next mission

Ok, so this is feedback location? Don't get mad at me, it is my personal opinion. First, I want to say, thanks so much for the effort and work put into it. I really appreciate putting in a new feature to Ryzom when so many have promised over the years new stuff, but it never seems to get delivered, so "Bravo!"

Now, my negativety, (lol),

I helped a tiny tiny bit on testing it before, when it was being developed on Yubo server. I went on one episode with two in team. after 1 1/2 hrs, i got tired and suggested there be a waypoint, or save point, or portal opened when you reach a certain point, but I seemed to get shot down. It made me a bit upset because it gave me a negative attitude going in when doing the rite after it was finished. I knew it was going to be long. I suggested that some in a "team" might not be able to continue and then what? Do it again for an hour the next night and not finish? That just doesn't work. It was suggested to me that Rangers who do the rite and pass will help others doing it for the first time and make it faster. In fact some of the Devs said they could do it in an 1 1/2 hrs. (Excuse me, but that's because they already know the way!)

Really??!!

Come on. When something new comes to Ryzom, I like to enjoy it and explore a bit and discover it on my own. That is what makes this game so much fun for me. I love exploring. Not to have people show me the way.

As it was, when finally doing the actual rite after it was finished, the person I did the rite with had to hurry me up because she had to leave soon. I don't blame that person, but I did get tired by the time I got to the dig camps and just told her to show me where the dig spots are and had her dig them since it would have taken me much longer to find them as we had already spent about 3 1/2 hrs into it. She was sorry for me for having to rush it. But I understood. If I had half a day, I suppose I could have enjoyed it more, but who can expect that of people to have that much time in one setting? Let alone a team??? (btw, I asked her not to tell me the way or anything unless I asked)

There has to be a better way to break it up into smaller pieces. That is all I am saying, please! There has to be a way to save a spot, or have a respawn point or something where the number 1 camp is or something so you can return later?
