So I'm going to talk about the Rywards store which will replace Rykea and the Ryzhome section of the special bag (there are some Ry xD).
Here is a screenshot : https://app.ryzom.com/app_web_assets/assets/694863/Clipboard%20-% 207%20f%C3%A9vrier%202022%2021%2043%281%29.png.
So it is a new page in the shift + E window.
There will be at the same time a list of apartment items classified according to the categories already known via the titles but also collections to complete.
Each completed collection gives rise to a unique reward (always from an apartment).
There will also be the list of items already obtained with a 3D preview.
And information about the number of items in our possession (so duplicates) and how many are in the apartment.

The other particularity of the store is that you will be able to know what you need to get each item.
Sometimes (as on the screenshot) they will only be available in gain via the wheel.
Sometimes as a special event.
And other times it will be indicated which type of ticket is necessary.
Rywards tickets being the most common and generic, they will allow you to buy many items, especially those of other nations.
With sometimes different colors or textures.
Finally, if you have duplicates, you will be able to convert them into Rywards tickets and thus buy items of your choice.
Thus, getting duplicates at the wheel, allows you to convert them into Rywards tickets which then allows you to buy items.
Later on, other rewards will be added to the store.
Such as wigs, outfits or other purely aesthetic items.
We are following different tracks to add cool cosmetic things, like new afk FX, animations, etc ...
Are there any questions, suggestions, remarks ?

Let's go to the next part which concerns Ryzhome and therefore the apartments.
And I will be able to give the proposal of addition.
The idea is to be able to make apartment configurations.
And thus to be able to have several item configurations and to choose the one you want to display.
For example a configuration could contain all the Christmas items.
Another one of Anlor Winn's.

Finally it will be possible to give items to your guild for the decoration of the guild hall.
And thus ... You will have to fill.
Any questions ?
If no questions, let's move on.
But first, a little clarification, it will also be possible with Rywards Tickets to buy supreme tokens for the wheel.
This is quite timely as they will be added soon.
The tokens will allow to win a reward for sure, but obviously, some will be rarer than others.
But the supreme tokens can also be used to buy Rywards tickets, thus making a cycle.
You will then have the choice between playing supreme tokens on the wheel and winning a sure reward, but not necessarily the one you want.
Or convert the tokens into a Ryward ticket and offer you a reward of your choice.
Thus the rewards will no longer be systematically pure chance.
Moreover, in the same way as the apartment items, the duplicates of the items won in the wheel can be converted.
So pieces of zig or mount, wigs, etc ... Do not throw them away, recycle, it's good for Atys !
If you have gift ideas, we are always happy to receive suggestions.
And if you do a little 3D with blender, we can help you to integrate items in the game (under CC-by-SA license with credits to your name or username if you wish).
Any questions ?

And if no question, we move on.
We have just talked about aesthetic rewards, we also have planned more gameplay content.
Starting with the ephemeral enchantments.
These are enchanted spells that can only be obtained from NPCs or buildings.
They can be stacked and will take the same space as the current ones.
When a weapon is enchanted with an ephemeral enchantment, the weapon is fully charged with sap.
And can no longer be recharged.
With each use of the ephemeral enchantment, the charge in sap will decrease without being able to be recharged.
Once the weapon's charge is insufficient to use the enchantment, it disappears.
Thus, let's take the example of an ephemeral enchantment that consumes 300 of sap.
It is applied on a weapon that can have a maximum of 1000 of sap.
The weapon is fully recharged, so at 1000.
You can then use the enchantment 3 times.
There is then only 100 of sap left, the enchantment disappears.
The 100 of sap remain.

Ephemeral enchantments will be either passive or active.
Active, it will be necessary to throw them as the current enchantments and will consume of the sap load with each use.
These are not necessarily only spells that we know, but it can also be a mini aura, an area effect, there is no real technical limitation.
Passive, they will activate themselves each time the weapon is used, like the effects of Tekorn or Vedice.
Moreover, an ephemeral enchantment will temporarily replace the effect of the weapon.
The temporary effects of their operation can be very powerful (but very expensive in sap load and thus limited in their use).
Moreover, the more powerful they are, the harder they will be to obtain.

Currently, consuming items can be quite frustrating.
I am thinking in particular of the switch of enchantments or the constant sap recharge in PvP.
In short, it hurts the hand.
We have evaluated several suggestions to solve the problem.
Today, I present the solution that we consider to be optimal.
The item bar.
Basically, it's a new inventory consisting of 5 slots.
You can put consumable items, such as potions, larvae, etc.
As well as sap recharges or enchantments.
The slots will be displayed in the current equipment window and in its own window (if you want to display it).
There will be configurable keyboard shortcuts for each slot of the bar (to consume/use the item) and the item bar will be integrated with the current item group system.
Here is a screenshot of the draft I am working on.
https://app.ryzom.com/app_web_assets/assets/694863/Clipboard%20-% 20February%207%2C%202022%205%2004%20PM%281%29.png
I took the opportunity to rearrange and center the equipment window.
This one gives you even more information.
https://app.ryzom.com/app_web_assets/assets/694863/Clipboard%20-% 20February%207%2C%202022%205%2006%20PM%281%29.png
(Note that in the second screenshot, the equipment window is not up to date).
I think I have done the tour, are there any questions ?

Let's move on to the last topic.
Before the real last topic.
The storyline will resume its course and also bring new gameplay.
In terms of high level content, as it is the storyline I do not tell more.
But it will be necessary to hurry to have the best components for the best ephemeral enchantments.
And also fill ours pockets with combat potions that do not require you to sit down.
In short, the next patches will be mostly focused on content as you can see.
They will be spread out over the next few weeks and to make it easier for us.
Don't forget the ideas section, which we will try to keep updated and if you want to help, well,
Tamarea will tell you how.

That was the last topic for today !
Thanks to all, and good game on Atys !

Well, when you have to start !
I give again here the topic on the forum : https://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/32134/1 &post206409=en#1.
I will quickly summarize.
So last Monday there was a rotation of the OP materials and 50% of the OP were taken by tribes.
So we don't know what materials the OP of the tribes produce, but the guilds that still have an OP could see their new material and the new Q, which can only be 150 200 or 250.
At the same time, the betting system to obtain the right to attack in preview one of the OP of the tribes has been implemented.
Do you have any questions ?

Next topic : Offer a subscription.
Last month I published a poll about "be able to gift a subscription to a friend": https://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/32084/1 &post206156=en#1
As nearly all the players who answered voted for it, we'll add it !
So you'll have soon the ability to offer a subscription to another player.
Next topic ?
Activate DeepL in more ingame channels.
We are testing the extend of DeepL to new channels : Leagues, Teams and Factions (Kara, Kami, Marauder, Ranger, Matis, Fyros, Tryker, Zoraï).
We hope you'll enjoy the feature !

Ulukyn invite les participants a exprimer leurs avis et suggestions sur ces deux sujets, ainsi que sur les dernières mises à jour de Ryzom Chat.

Deux informations importantes :
• la date de la prochaine rotation des matières premières produites par les avant-postes est fixée au est fixée au mercredi 5 octobre ;
• le bogue qui affectait le placement des PNJ dans les avant-postes a été corrigé.

Modifications programmées de la mécanique des avant-postes, qui marqueront, lorsqu'appliquées, la fin de la première étape de la refonte :
• la durée de la période d'enchères sera fixée à une semaine (soit, pour la rotation à venir, du 5 au 12 octobre) ;
• les rounds perdus par la guilde attaquante en GVE ne feront plus baisser de 1 le « Niveau max attaquants » (y compris au Nexus) ; ceci devrais rendre les GvE plus simples ;
• une guilde échouant à reprendre un avant-poste en GVE, ne pourra plus attaquer d'avant poste en GVE durant une semaine (sauf au Nexus) ;
• après l'échec d'une attaque en GVE, le seuil de l'avant-poste concerné ne sera plus remonté à sa valeur initiale, mais conservera celle atteinte à l'issue de la bataille perdue (pour diminuer ensuite au fil du temps).

Rois
Les statistiques de certains d'entre eux seront corrigées et le système refondu (hors, dans un premier temps, la gestion des ossements des Rois tombés) sera étendu à l'ensemble d'Atys sous peu (probablement le 5 octobre, à défaut lors du redémarrage suivant du serveur).

Silan
Le patch de refonte est prévu pour intervenir avant fin septembre, accompagné d'un patch « Qualité de Vie » copieux apportant les améliorations évoquées lors des précédentes réunions de Ryzom Forge.
À la demande de précisions sur ce point formulée par un joueur de retour sur Atys après une longue absence (et qui, ravi de retrouver un jeu vivant et fonctionnel, en fait compliment à la RT), Ulukyn rappelle l'URL du présent fil du forum, qui rassemble les compte-rendus des réunions en question.
Sur Silan, nous avons également prévu d'ajouter des leçons destinées à présenter aux nouveaux joueurs, de manière aussi neutre que possible, les diverses nations et factions d'Atys en décrivant leurs particularités et en indiquant comment rejoindre chacune d'entre elles. Nous commencerons par bâtir la leçon présentant les Maraudeurs car, à l'inverse des autres nations et factions, ceux-ci n'ont aucun représentant parmi les PNJ de Silan.
À noter : les leçons en question peuvent être bâties par des joueurs n'ayant aucune compétence en développement. Toutes les contributions seront donc les bienvenues !

Cela fait plusieurs mois (voire plusieurs années) que nous avons voulu moderniser le système de tickets.
La nouvelle version est en phase finale de tests et apporte pas mal de changement par rapport au système ctuel (vraiment pas terrible).

Les modifications notables sont les suivantes.
• Refonte complète du formulaire pour soumettre un ticket (y compris en jeu) avec des catégories en fonction de la demande, des zones de saisies claires afin de permettre aux CSR de voir les informations importantes tout de suite.
• Suivi des tickets (en jeu et hors du jeu). C'est à dire une liste des tickets indiquant pour chacun son statut, la personne l'ayant pris en charge et son historique complet.
• Possibilité offerte de réponse directe à un ticket, permettant d'entamer une vraie conversation illustrable par le glissé/déposé de captures d'écran (hors du jeu seulement).
• Envoi, hors du jeu mais aussi en jeu, d'un mél indiqquant qu'une réponse à été donner et contenant un lien permettant d'ouvrir le ticket.
• Un même joueur pourra évidemment ouvrir plusieurs tickets différents en même temps, chaque ticket étant bien individualisé.

Avez-vous des questions ou des suggestions, des fonctionnalités que vous aimeriez voir ajoutées ?

Cet été, nous avons eu le grand plaisir de voir publié le premier tome d’un roman se déroulant dans l’univers de Ryzom : « La Guerre Sacrée », écrit et auto-édité par Rémi Dromnelle.
L’histoire, qui se déroule dans les Anciennes Terres, est vraiment palpitante ; l’immersion est rapide, et on se laisse entraîner avec plaisir dans le tourbillon de la vie des héros, vivant avec eux quelques années de l’Histoire d’Atys.
Comme l’auteur est français, le roman est naturellement paru dans cette langue. Cependant, une traduction en anglais ainsi qu’une en allemand sont en cours de réalisation par des joueurs bénévoles.
Pour en savoir plus sur ce roman, voyez le fil du forum qui lui est dédié, si vous voulez visiter le site du livre, c’est ici et, enfin, si vous souhaitez l’acheter en version papier ou en version PDF, rendez-vous sur Librinova à cette page.
Mais je vous préviens : c'est tellement passionnant que vous aurez du mal à lâcher le livre avant de l'avoir fini ! Et c'est du vécu !

Y a-t-il a des joueurs ayant déjà lu le roman, parmi ceux qui suivent cette réunion ? Et, le cas échéant, veulent-ils bien nous donner leur ressenti, sans spoiler l'histoire ?

(Deux joueurs-lecteurs expriment leur sentiment :
– À ranger de suite dans sa bibliothèque !
– Déja donné sur le post qui va bien : ça sent les prémices des Rôdeurs et des Maraudeurs. C'est l'Histoire d'Atys, mais un nom a échappé à l'auteur : Kal (ça ne parlera pas à tout le monde mais aux joueurs d'Aniro certainement).)

Le prochain numéro de notre magazine « Les Coulisses d'Atys » sera consacré à un entretien avec l'auteur du roman, Rémi. Auteur auquel, lorsque, après que j'ai eu terminé ma lecture du roman (à trois heures du matin), il m'a demandé mon avis, j'ai répondu : « Je veux la suite !!!!!!!!!!!!! ». Les bénévoles de l'équipe de traduction seront les premiers à avoir le privilège de lire ce numéro… et l'équipe de traduction recrute !
Je signale aussi que l'auteur (et c'est quelque chose de très important pour lui) a souhaité permettre à notre communauté de lire le roman gratuitement sur le wiki de Ryzom (cliquer sur le drapeau de langue pour afficher sa traduction en cours). Mais libre à vous, bien sûr, d'acheter aussi le livre si vous souhaitez soutenir l'auteur !

L'event dynamique d'invasion des kitins n'est lancé que rarement en semaine et, vu le grand nombre d'envahisseurs, il met parfois longtemps à se résoudre.
Que penseriez-vous, donc, d'invasions plus fréquentes mais impliquant moins d'envahisseurs ?
(La suggestion est favorablement accueillie et Ulukyn, sur remarque d'un participant, confirme que ce rapport fréquence/importance des invasions kitines pourrait en effet être adapté au nombre de joueurs présents sur Atys à telle ou telle période de l'année.)

The next patch (which we plan to apply this Friday starting at 23:00 UTC—expect about 2 hours of downtime on the game server) implements the activation of Bosses in all regions of Atys. The new Bosses system has indeed been running smoothly for several weeks now in Prime Roots.
The associated guild application may not have been updated yet, but it will be shortly after the patch.
In the new regions concerned (on the surface of Atys), the species of the 6 Bosses that will receive your assaults will be chosen exclusively from those present in the region. However, the places where the Bosses obeying a particular mechanic appear (such as Gebre, Cratchakin, Shooketh, etc.) will remain unchanged.
The redesign of the Bosses will then proceed with the testing and implementation of new mechanics for all Bosses, wherever they spawn on Atys.

The above mentioned patching will be accompanied by a rotation of the outposts (OP) and followed by an bidding period set this time to about ten days (in order to include two weekends).
The distribution of OP materials has been reviewed: after this rotation all types of materials (8 in all) will be available in Q250, Q200 and Q150 on at least one of Atys' OPs. Therefore, no Q250 material will be missing during the so started cycle.

We will continue the migration of rewards into Rywards (shift+e) to include everything possible to include and make it a big catalog.
Like mounts, the Zigs will be migratable in Rywards which will make it easier to change them and not risk losing them. For that, as for the mounts again, it will be necessary to send them to the pasture to then list them in Rywards. It will not be necessary for a Zig to be in the stable to be able to replace it with another one, it will be enough for it to be in your bag. Only Zig #1, however, will be substitutable: the others will have to go through the pasture to be substituted. As it is already the case with the mounts, the inventories will not be affected by this operation.
Underclothes will be real underclothes, usable as such, not equipable inventory items anymore. Therefore, it will be enough to equip them once for them to hide (or highlight) your character's forms when this one takes off her/his armor, without depriving you of any slot that can be occupied by a piece of armor. Trading them will still be possible but will be done via a special interface allowing you to indicate the name of the character and via Izam exchange.
