Ulukyn invites attendees to express their opinions and suggestions on these two topics, as well as on the latest updates of Ryzom Chat.

Two important pieces of information:
• the next rotation date for raw materials produced by outposts is Wednesday, October 5;
• the bug that affected NPC placement in outposts has been fixed.

Scheduled changes to the outpost mechanics, which will mark the end of the first stage of the refactoring when implemented:
• the length of the bidding period will be set to one week (i.e., for the upcoming rotation, October 5-12);
• battle-rounds lost by the attacking guild in GVE will no longer lower the "Max Attacker Level" by 1 (including Nexus); this should make GvE easier;
• a guild failing to retake an outpost in GVE will not be able to attack an outpost in GVE for a week (except in Nexus);
• after a failed GVE attack, the threshold of the concerned outpost will no longer be raised back to its initial value, but will keep the value reached at the end of the lost battle (and then decrease over time).

Bosses
Statistics of some of them will be corrected and the overhauled system (except, at first, the management of the bones of fallen Bosses) will be extended to the whole of Atys soon (probably on October 5th, or at the next server reboot).

Silan
The refactoring patch is scheduled to be released before the end of September, along with a substantial "Quality of Life" patch that will bring the improvements mentioned in the previous Ryzom Forge meetings.
On asking of a player who returned to Atys after a long absence (and who, delighted to find a living and working game, complimented the RT on it) for more details on this point, Ulukyn points to the URL of the present forum thread, which collects the minutes of the said meetings.
On Silan, we also plan to add lessons to introduce new players to the various nations and factions of Atys in as neutral a manner as possible, describing their particularities and how to join each of them. We'll start by building the lesson about the Marauders because, unlike the other nations and factions, they don't have any representatives among the NPCs in Silan.
Please note: these lessons can be built by players with no development skills. So, all contributions will be welcome!

It's been several months (even years) since we wanted to modernize the ticket system.
The new version is in the final testing phase and brings a lot of changes compared to the current system (which is not so good).

The notable changes are the following.
• Complete redesign of the ticket submission form (including in-game) with categories based on the request, clear input fields to allow CSRs to see important information right away.
• Ticket tracking (in-game and out-of-game). That is to say, a list of tickets indicating for each one its status, the person who took care of it and its complete history.
• Possibility offered to answer directly to a ticket, allowing to start a real conversation illustrable through drag and drop of screenshots (out of game only).
• Sending, out of game but also in game, of an email indicating that an answer has been given and containing a link allowing to open the ticket.
• The same player can obviously open several different tickets at the same time, each ticket being individualized.

Do you have any questions or suggestions, features you would like to see added?

This summer, we had the great pleasure to see published the first volume of a novel taking place in the universe of Ryzom: "The Sacred War", written and self-published by Rémi Dromnelle.
The story, which takes place in the Old Lands, is really exciting; the immersion is fast, and one lets oneself be carried away with pleasure in the whirlwind of the heroes' life, living with them a few years of the History of Atys.
As the author is French, the novel was naturally published in that language. However, an English translation as well as a German one are in progress by volunteer players.
To learn more about this novel, see the forum thread dedicated to it, if you want to visit the book's website, it's here and, finally, if you want to buy it in hard copy or in PDF version, go to Librinova at this page.
But I warn you: it's so exciting that you'll have trouble letting go of the book before you finish it! And it's true to life!

Are there any players who have already read the novel, among those who are following this meeting? And, if so, would they be willing to give us their feelings, without spoiling the story?

(Two player-readers express their feelings:
– To get in your library right away!
– Already given on the right post: It smells like the beginnings of Rôdeurs and Marauders. It's the History of Atys, but one name escaped the author: Kal (it won't speak to everyone, but to Aniro players certainly).)

The next issue of our magazine "Behind the Scenes" will be dedicated to an interview with the author of the novel, Rémi. When I finished reading the novel (at 3 a.m.) and he asked me what I thought, I replied: "I want the sequel !!!!!!!!!!!!!". The volunteers of the translation team will be the first to have the privilege of reading this issue... and the translation team is recruiting!
I should also point out that the author (and this is something very important to him) wanted to allow our community to read the novel for free on the Ryzom wiki (click on the language flag to display its ongoing translations). But feel free, of course, to buy the book too if you want to support the author!

The dynamic event of kitin invasion seldom runs during the week and, given the large number of invaders, it sometimes takes a long time to resolve.
What would you think, then, of more frequent invasions involving fewer invaders?
(The suggestion is welcomed and Ulukyn, on the remark of an attendee, confirmed that this frequency/importance ratio of kitin invasions could indeed be adapted to the number of players present on Atys at such or such time of the year.)

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.

Vingt jours de festivités seront organisés, du 16 septembre (jour anniversaire de la sortie du jeu au États-Unis) au 5 octobre 2024. Un gâteau et un feu d'artifice (voire deux) sont notamment prévus et, plusieurs mini-jeux seront proposés tout au long de cette période, intégralement HRP. Il y aura des objets uniques à gagner mais ce seront des objets décoratifs uniquement.
Toutefois, comme le roleplay fut et demeure l'âme de Ryzom, certains moments seront consacrés à cet aspect du jeu. En outre nous essaierons, durant ces 20 jours, d'évoquer ce qu'a été le jeu à ses débuts et de montrer que, malgré ses 20 ans d'âge, il continue à évoluer.
Nous pensons ouvrir un fil de discussion sur le forum ou sur les réseaux sociaux où vous pourrez laisser vos messages et autres créations vidéos et dessins (ou tout autre idée destinée à souhaiter un joyeux anniversaire à Ryzom) ou nous dire ce que Ryzom a représenté pour vous pendant ces 20 années. Si vous avez une idée géniale mais que vous avez besoin d'un peu d'aide vous pouvez nous contacter par le biais de Pavor (via message privé dans Ryzom chat).
Pour terminer, je voudrais vous rappeler que nous souhaitons que cette fête vous ressemble : nous attendons donc vos suggestions sur le fil de discussion Boite à idées pour les 20 ans de Ryzom du forum.
À vous La parole ! Des questions, des suggestions, des remarques…

Je vais aller vite sur ce sujet, comme je ne suis pas en très grande forme. Je garde mes forces pour le suivant.
En fait, je pensais demander ici vos retours sur la Refonte de Silan, mais je crois que le mieux est d'ouvrir au forum un fil sur lequel vous pourrez les donner. Toutefois, nous avons déjà prévu de supprimer le petit coffre pour ne garder qu'un seul grand coffre et placer un coffre permanent n'offrant que des psykoplas.
C'est tout pour ce sujet (j'ai fait très court :D)

Celles-ci sont en test depuis plusieurs jours et sont en bonne voie pour une mise en place prochaine. Le système qui a été choisi est le suivant.
• Les inventaires de guildes (accessibles depuis les Îles de guildes) vont être divisés en plusieurs coffres (20 au maximum).
• L'onglet Guilde de l'inventaire sera remplacé par deux onglets, GH 1 et GH 2, chaque onglet pouvant afficher le contenu d'un des coffres de la guilde. On peut donc voir en simultané deux coffres et il est possible de choisir le coffre dont on affiche le contenu.
• Chaque coffre possédera 500 emplacements et une capacité de volume variable. Il sera possible de faire construire de nouveaux coffres (dans la limite de 20) sur l'Île de guilde. Il y apparaîtront physiquement et pourront être agrandis individuellement, c'est à dire augmentés en volume.
• Il sera possible de nommer chaque coffre pour mieux s'y retrouver, mais aussi d'accorder, selon le grade dans la guilde (membre, officier ou plus, officier supérieur ou plus, chef seul) trois permissions :
 — 1 : Qui peut voir le contenu du coffre ;
 — 2 : Qui peut déposer dans le coffre ;
 — 3 : Qui peut prendre dans le coffre.
Un membre non autorisé à voir le contenu d'un coffre ne pourra pas, non plus, y déposer des objets et il ne pourra y avoir qu'un seul coffre réservé au chef de guilde.
• Chaque coffre disposera d'un menu permettant son changement de taille, de nom ou de permissions.
• Construire de nouveaux coffres et agrandir les existants coûtera de plus en plus cher. Ce coût sera payable uniquement en matières premières suprêmes de forage ou en points de guilde, moyens de paiement auquel nous ajouterons peut-être les MP collectées sur les Rois (en test actuellement).
