Compte-Rendu de la réunion de Ryzom Forge – 12 septembre 2022

1 - Retours sur les Jeux d'Atys et Rywards

Ulukyn (RT) – 19:32 UTC

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.

– J'ai apprécié les courses des Jeux d'Atys, mais pourquoi n'avez-vous pas annoncé au forum qu'elles étaient prolongées et qu'il y aurait une récompense pour les participants même s'ils ne gagnaient pas ?
Ulukyn :Durant la période des Jeux, ce mois d'aôut, l'équipe de communication n'était pas au complet…

– Durant les Jeux, les events Créatures de Silan étaient géniaux : ils ont rempli mes poches de dappers ! Proposez-les à nouveau SVP !
– Moi, je trouve que les récompenses qu'on en recevait étaient trop importantes : les jetons excellents ne valent plus rien ou presque, avec ce type d'événement.
– Oui, il m'en reste alors que j'ai peu participé.
Ulukyn :C'est noté.

– Personnellement, j'étais absent durant les Jeux (en vacances). Du coup je n'ai pas eu le loisir de participer à grand chose… Ne serait-il pas mieux de les étaler sur deux mois ?
Ulukyn :On pourrait en effet, en proposant un lot d'activités différent selon le mois. D'ailleurs, c'est un peu ce qui s'est passé sur un mois cette fois-ci : les events sur Silan ont été introduits deux semaines après le début des Jeux. Cette proposition sera donc examinée.

– Ce serait bien que le palmarès des Jeux soit publié au forum. En effet, comme je n'ai pu cette année assister à la cérémonie de clôture, je ne sais pas ce qu'il est advenu de mes participations.
Ulukyn :Ça semble une bonne idée.

Ulukyn conclut la séquence en précisant, s'agissant de Rywards, que, dans les prochains mois :
• les sous-vêtements y seront déplacés ;
• tout les articles pourront être échangés contre des tickets ;
• l'envois d'articles à des amis sera possible (avec des restrictions pour les joueurs en F2P qui restent à définir).

2 - Refonte des avant-postes

Ulukyn (RT) – 19:50 UTC

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).

Intermède tutoriel
Suite à une demande de précision d'un participant non traduite par DeepL dans Ryzom Chat, il est précisé que la traduction pour les lecteurs (y compris ceux en jeu) de ce qu'on tape dans RC n'est effective que si la langue de frappe est celle indiquée parmi les [Préférences] de [Mon compte] (cf. menus affichés par click sur l'icône présente en haut à gauche de la fenêtre RC qui porte la pastille indiquant votre statut).

3 - Refonte des Rois et de Silan

Ulukyn (RT) – 20:02 UTC

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 !

Q : S'agissant des Rois : seront-ils aussi aléatoires que dans les Primes Racines ou leur répartition dépendra-t-elle de la région considérée ?
R : Non : sur la surface d'Atys, les seuls Rois susceptibles d'apparaître dans une région seront ceux appartenant à l'une des espèces peuplant ladite région.

4 - Nouveau Système de tickets

Ulukyn (RT) – 20:17 UTC

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 ?

Q : Peut-on déjà tester ce nouveau système ? Ou en avoir une démonstration ?
R : Oui. Les CSR mènent les derniers tests et l'équipe de test pourra bientôt enchaîner, je pense. Sans risque, d'ailleurs : le futur système et l'actuel ne partagent rien, pour le moment.

Q (hors sujet) : Où en est la conception du bouclier de faction ?
R : Envoyez-moi votre idée de ses statistiques par message privé, SVP !

5 - Un roman dans l'univers de Ryzom

Tamarea (RT) – 20:31 UTC

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 !

Q : Est-ce que le roman est basé sur la Lore, ou est-ce que des personnages originaux y apparaissent ?
R : Les deux ! C'est une fiction, pas un résumé de la Lore. Mais elle raconte un vrai pan de la Lore. L'auteur a d'ailleurs constamment sollicité l'équipe Lore au fil de l'écriture tant pour éclaircissements et précisions que pour validation.

Q : Pour moi, j'aimerais mieux qu'il s'agisse de l'Histoire d'Atys plutôt que d'une fiction. L'Histoire qu'on peut lire au wiki est acceptable, mais un bibliothèque historique d'Atys serait géniale.
R : Cette fiction décrit d'une façon très plausible un grand pan du passé d'Atys, dans les Anciennes Terres.

Questions diverses

Ulukyn (RT) – 20:17 UTC

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.)

Q : Ne pourrait-on proposer des events ponctuels du type « Nids festifs », où des objets à découvrir par les autres joueurs pourraient être placés, cachés ou non, sur Atys. Ce genre d'event ajoute vraiment beaucoup de plaisir, d'atmosphère et d'occasions de RP, je trouve.
R : Le mini-jeu « Nids festifs » a en effet été très apprécié lors de la dernière Fête des Réfugiés. Comme nous n'avons pas décidé de la manière dont les Rywards pourront être offerts aux amis, ce type d'event constitue une possibilité… Mais je ne peux rien dire de plus.

Suivent quelques remarques et suggestions qui lancent des débats entre les participants, débats que Tamarea, pour conclure, invite à poursuivre sur le forum.

La réunion est close à 21:25 UTC.

Ryzom Forge meeting report – October 10th, 2022

1 – Feedbacks about the last patch patch

Ulukyn(RT) – 19h36 UTC

And we'll start as usual with the feedbacks. Are there any feedbacks/comments/suggestions about the last patch?

-- Is it planned to resize the missions window properly? It can't get as small as it used to be, and it doesn't get big enough for some of the longer descriptions?
Ulukyn : Ok, I'll add the problem to the list right now

-- The graphical problems are pretty bad. The sizing of objects. It happens everywhere. Sometimes things are so big they fill up the entire screen and I cant even see where I am going.
Ulukyn: The bug is known and is being fixed, but it's not easy because we don't know why it only affects players on Macos.
The patch introduced a smoother creature/item magnification. Before, when a script changed the size of an object, it was done in steps, visually it was ugly.
I don't understand why it only bugs on Mac (and I don't have a Mac... so not easy) but I'll find out eventually :). Probably something stupid like it often does.

-- Regarding the redesign of Silan and the new tags I created several characters to test a little bit of everything and I could notice that the tags are mixed between the characters. I have two new characters with no tags, they have been moved on to old characters
Ulukyn : I will contact you for more info, I'm interested.

-- Regarding the new tutorial, when you grow psykoplas for training, you have to kill the psyko that grew before growing another one. Otherwise the bag buds count down but there is still only one growing
Ulukyn: [i]That's right, every time you grow a bud, the previous one disappears, so there aren't dozens of them for nothing. This is intentional, the same principle applies to the maraudeur banner. What would you suggest?
I was thinking of maybe avoiding the bud count in the bag if we didn't kill the psykopla involved.
Ulukyn: That's an idea. I make a note, I don't know if it's feasible :)

-- I have a compliment for you. :) I think the new possibilities in the inventory are great. The new pockets are very useful in the daily game. A big congratulations for that.
A second action bar that doesn't reflect the first one anymore, I don't find that very useful.

-- I'm a fan of the fix that allows you to sell directly to the NPC again with Shift + Enter
Ulukyn: We were wondering if this was fixed for everyone (I never had the bug for example), so much the better if it is the case :)

Ulukyn: Are there more crashes than before? There were quite a few after the patch, especially when going to Silan. We fixed 2 big bugs.
We will try to get better crash logs, so we can fix more of them, if there are people who have C++ knowledge on the subject, it would be great :)
--At some time, there were some crashes when we were trading old tokens (the ones we have in exchange for titles), but that seems to have been fixed
Ulukyn: Yes, this one is fixed.

-- Can the NPC sale be reset to the way it was before, i.e. recognizing that the Shift key is still pressed? Since the patch, you only sell one item to the NPC and to the players, so if you have multiple items to sell you have to press Shift + Enter for each item, not hold Shift while spamming Enter.
Ulukyn: You should send a ticket with the details, your OS (if Linux the distribution), it seems that Shift + Enter does not work the same way for everyone.

-- All windows sometimes get stacked at reconnection. Is this a known bug? Under Windows in windowed mode, all the windows of the game are superimposed on top of each other at the bottom left. I have to replace them one by one. It happened to me 2 times in the last few days but never before.
Ulukyn: It happens on Linux, but I've never seen it on Windows. Typically, it's when the client window is minimized. The windows are then all moved to the same place. I'll get back to you to check it out.

--On the whole, nice job. We always complain about bugs or some changes. But nice job anyway. Thanks

Ulukyn: In any case, we will continue to fix the bugs and will revisit the forum for ideas of Quality of Life additions, do not hesitate to send up posts ;)

2 – New features

Ulukyn(RT) – 20h19 UTC

I won't go into detail, but it might give you an idea.

The QoL (Quality of Life) patches will continue to add new features to make the game more enjoyable and fix bugs. And in order to make the work of the devs easier, we have gathered the whole client code in one place: https://gitlab.com/ryzom/ryzom-core, whereas it was previously on 3 different repositories.
You can now see the list of issues (bugs): https://gitlab.com/ryzom/ryzom-core/-/issues
Everything is public :)

About the Storyline, it will start again soon, we had a rather busy year and we couldn't progress on it as we wanted.
We'll have to improve this in order to make it progress more regularly, the lessons system should help :)

Speaking of lessons, we will obviously continue the tutorial and lessons on nations/factions. Especially since it's pretty quick to do now that the system is coded.

We will continue to add the rewards to Rywards so that it can list all the items to be won. Including the underwear (and I know this will make people happy :D )

Finally, and still with the idea of finishing things that are not finished, the guild islands will be fixed and finished (with the possibility to visit other islands).
Content for the guilds can then be added.
This is the big development axis we have planned.

Of course the ongoing projects like op refactoring, bosses refactoring and all refactorings will be continued and finalized.

--Are there any plans for the maraudeur faction?
Ulukyn: Oops I forgot. So yes, we have added the marauder camp on Silan to continue development. It's one of the things we need to finish, so we'll finish it.

-- Finishing the rites would really be a good thing.

--Has consideration been given to allowing openable items in pockets?
Ulukyn: We have already answered on the forum for some items, you can add on the post the items you think useful. For the artifact [Editor's note: automatic purchase of pacts] it is in progress, but we have prioritized the bugs.

-- Will there be "neutral" maraudeur teleportes that you can have without being a maraudeur? Because a new maraudeir has to do all the fames at -50 and then walk all over Atys to get everything again compared to the other factions.
Ulukyn : No it is not planned for the moment.

-- Will there be something for the Trytonists. They have waiting for so long.
Ulukyn: We will not add factions in terms of gameplay any more. It's a lot of work that costs us a lot. It would not be reasonable. However, in terms of RP, the event team should be able to do it (and I can't speak for them).

-- Can we still expect big new gameplay features like new light maraudeur bosses, new crafting plans, new occupations, etc?
Ulukyn: We've been constantly improving the tools in order to make things easier and simpler. That's what takes the most time, having the right tools.
For the crafting plans, every item added to the wheel is always accompanied by a crafting plan. So, once the items have been replaced by new ones, it will be possible to offer the plans as a reward.

--Speaking of crafting, the look of items created with natural mp is disappointing. Wouldn't it be possible to improve them? (Natural mp earned hard on nexus ops give crafts with pale yellow bubbles... one could hope for better)
Green would be closer to the ranger colors :)
Ulukyn: Ah if they had been refined, purified or modified yes. But without treatment, I'm afraid they will remain in a simplistic state :P
We'll see what can be done though :)

--Can we have barrel-refactoring too? There is a 150 ratio between shooki and byrh barrels (volume 1 in the bag for shooki barrels. 150 for byrh. You have to be motivated to put a barrel of byrh).
Ulukyn : Haha ok, maybe there was a mistake :)

--Achievements give yubo points. Are there any plans for them to be used for anything other than personal glory?
Ulukyn: Very sincerely... no plans at the moment. But if there are proposals on the forum, they will be taken into account.

Ryzom Forge meeting report – January 23, 2023

As a preamble, please note that specific technical questions are only taken into account if they are addressed to the support team via ticket or posted on the forum, not when expressed on any of the Ryzom Chat channels. The latter are too numerous to be constantly scrutinized by a Ryzom team whose resources are limited.

1 - Boss Refactoring

Ulukyn (RT) – 20:36 UTC

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.

Q: Will there be new spawn points for Bosses in the regions?
A: Yes. From memory we have doubled the number of possible locations.

Q: La fréquence d'apparition des Rois en surface sera-t-elle, comme dans les Prime Racines, journalière ?
A: Yes.

Q: Will there be any changes among the species of the Bosses spawning in Prime Roots?
A: No.

2 - Outposts Refactoring

Ulukyn (RT) – 20:53 UTC

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.

Q: Would it be possible to lower the threshold of OPs gained on NPCs after GvE battles? The current threshold (24) causes the freeze of these OPs for one month, since the duration of an OP battle (1h) only allows to lower it by 12 points at best.
A: The said freeze gives the victorious guild the time needed to enjoy a minimum of the materials resulting from its conquest. So, the patch mentioned above does not change the threshold in question. It is planned to take these freezes into account during the following developments, those that will allow the introduction of GvG battles.

Q: The patchnote published 9 months ago already announced this introduction. Where are you with the GvG?
A: We have started thinking and prototyping (understanding of the code, action planning...).

Q: So, apart from the improved distribution of materials, the mechanics of the OPs are not changed by this patch?
A: No, indeed. We didn't want to apply a patch including unfinished GvG mechanics, nor did we want to wait until they were finished to open a new cycle.

Q : Given the freezes mentioned above (which leave, on each cycle, little time before the rotation that will closes it) will the gap between two rotations remain fixed at two months?
A: Actually, this gap is not really two months, since it depends on several factors (OOC events, unexpected reboots, etc.) and will remain so, approximate, until we have reached the cruising speed.

Q: Is it possible to allow, through a dedicated NPC, the trading of OP materials of different qualities between guilds?
A: Yes, but first we have to fix the bug with the guild island NPCs. And the implementation of this trading will be part of the implementation of the fully redesigned OPs.

Q: Since during the current cycle some materials and qualities were missing, could we have more details about the features for the next rotation?
A: Yes, all materials will be present on Atys, in all three qualities (150, 200 and 250) at the end of this rotation and, in particular, this time at least 8 OPs will each produce one of the material types in quality 250.

Q: But, as up to now, any OP will produce materials of the three qualities in proportions determined by its level?
A: Yes: same chance for low level OPs to produce high quality materials and same three qualities involved. But this could change later.

Q: The guessing game (during the betting period) is not fun… Couldn't we make sure that everyone is informed, at the end of a rotation, of the nature and quality of the materials produced by each OP?
A: No. Because, if everyone knew in advance what each OP produces, and unless the OPs were of interest to the guilds other than through the materials they produce, some OPs would simply not be attacked and all PvP activity would be concentrated on a few OPs.

Q: Why is this a problem? The refactoring was supposed to balance OP wars, but one guild currently has eight OPs and two guilds have half of the OPs in Atys between them. Have you thought about other ways to help the outnumbered factions (e.g. by adding NPC fighters or scouts) for this rebalancing?
A: No. Because balancing OP wars is impossible, unless you open as many OPs as there are active guilds and each guild has its own OP. But we'll talk about it again once the current redesign is complete, as the remaining planned modifications will change the game a bit.

Q: Couldn't the minimum level of OP guards be increased to 150?
A: No, this is not planned.

Q (not serious): Would it be possible to implement OPs in Prime Roots?
A: No, it is not planned. *smile*

3 - Growing of Rywards

Ulukyn (RT) – 21:44 UTC

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.

Q: Is there a "Quality of Life" patch for (among other things) Rywards planned in the near future that would include all of these new features (especially the fix for the bug with wigs earned from Wheel)?
A: In fact, everything has already been modified for the client, through the last corrective patches. It remains now to correct the Rywards app which does not require a patch as such, but regular corrective patches, which will follow one another in the months to come. For the Zigs, it remains to implement the possibility to get a gubani Zig without spinning the Wheel. We will then import the underclothes and plushies to make room in the inventories.

Q: Would it be possible to transfer the bonuses of a garment won in the wheel with a rather ugly skin to another one with a better skin?
A: No it is not possible. But you can easily find a crafter who will give your garment with the same bonuses a skin more to your liking.

Q: Will it be possible to trade the other Rywards items? Especially plushies and wigs?
A: The trading system will work for any Rywards item. However, it may be limited to premium players (for giving, not receiving). We haven't, to tell the truth, thought about the case of each of the Rywards items. But everything in Rywards is potentially tradeable, even if it is sometimes under certain conditions (for example, for generic materials, only during OOC events). Concerning the plushies, a new system has been added which gives the possibility to equip in the left and/or right hand pseudo-objects (objects without stats and out of inventory) which are displayed only when the hand is empty of any real object (i.e. with stats and effect(s)). The number of these pseudo-objects that can be added in the future is a priori unlimited because they do not require, given their lack of stats, the patchiing the server for their implementation in game.

Q: Can we get the new robes other than by spinning the Wheel of Fortune?
A: Not yet, no. But it is planned that once all the existing stuff has been transferred to Rywards, you will be able to get the rewards in other ways. The Wheel will then only be one option among others.

Q: Has any thought been given to using the pockets for anything other than crystals? The teleportation artifact, for example?
A: Yes. But this could not be coded yet. The request will be made to the developer who coded the pockets as soon as he is back with us.

Q: I heard from a F2P player that he was losing pieces of Zig while assembling it. What about this?
A: From memory, this bug has been fixed, but that will be checked.

Q: Since we are talking about F2P... Would it be possible this page lists all the limitations that apply to F2P accounts? Some of them are missing in the current list, so they take the F2P player by surprise.
A: We have been thinking about this already. So yes, we will publish a complete list.

4 - Various issues

Below are the off-topic questions which, asked before, during and after the progress of the agenda, were nevertheless answered... Ulukyn is good-natured! :-)

Q (from a returnee): I don't suppose my old account from 2005 exists anymore, does it?
A: Yes, it does. Contact support (support@ryzom.com) to reactivate it.

Q: Can't we resurrect the faction pickaxes? They are indeed very useful and not very difficult to implement, I think.
A: Noted!

Q: Is there any new content planned for high level players (e.g. skill bonuses)?
A: No, there are no plans for that..

Q: Given the current lack of space in the inventories, are there any plans to make a fourth Zig available to players, as was done for the mektoubs?
A: No, not at the moment. But the idea is not rejected and we will talk about it again when Rywards is complete.

Q: It's not an extra Zig we players need, it's infinite GH extensions, or larger inventories, right?
A: Guild hall extensions are planned. But I don't have any information about them, except that the tests that have been done have shown that they may take a while to implement. Indeed, if the extension itself requires only two seconds for coding, the loading at the connection of all the objects it allows to store is problematic when the said connection is not excellent.
This is why we thought of implementing these extensions in the form of tabs representing compartments of the GH, each of which could see its items loaded, on demand at the time of connection. But coding this mechanism requires much more than two seconds, especially since all this is still theoretical: we will then have to test the system on a GH full of items by measuring their loading times in case of slow connection. So, even if on Ryzom every player is a tester on the day of the patch, this improvement will take time to be implemented.

Q: Couldn't we increase the storage capacity of packers by increasing the storable quantity (the number of identical stackable items) in each slot of a packer?
A: This is technically possible as long as the number of inventory slots remains unchanged, and the matter could be discussed with the Gamedesign team. But the consequences of such an increase, on PvP (including OP battles) in particular, should be carefully considered first.

Q: Shouldn't object collisions, which make it difficult to move around the apartments, be removed?
A: Yes! The work on this point has begun... I note that I will have to complete it.

Q: Currently, the bulk taken up in inventories by a barrel of byrh is 150 (which does not make it easy to transport) while a barrel of shooki takes up a bulk of 1. Is there a chance that, in the future, these barrels will take up comparable bulks?
A: This must be a typo. I will pass it on to the concerned developer.

Q: Are there any plans to complete the bunch of Marauder Bosses of Atys?
A: Yes, as for Bosses dropping Marauder light armor craftplans, one of us will be working on the Fyros one (which will be an adaptation of the 60-second mini-game) and another on the Matis one, but these projects have been launched too recently for me to have more information about them. We will then think about creating and putting in game four Bosses wearing a medium armor.

The meeting is closed at 22:42 UTC.

Ryzom Forge meeting report – March 06, 2023

1 - New Ticket System

Tamarea (RT) – 20:41 UTC

Ryzom's ticket system, which regulates the interactions between the support team and the players, has been updated for a new interface and better usability.
You will find in a few minutes, the details of the changes of use implied by this improvement in the announcement published on the forum.
I only specify here that some categories of posts can only be read by Senior Game Masters.

Q: Does it mean that you can't contact the support other than through the site or in-game? No more direct mail at all?
A: That's it: no more emails at support@ryzom.com. But we are always listening on Ryzom Chat.

2 - New Encyclopedia

Ulukyn (RT) – 21:05 UTC

In fact, we talk about "new" because the interface and some other things will change, but the idea remains the same. The Encyclopedia will remain a collection of rites, each of which will unlock an interesting item (a stanza or access to a new in-game ability) along with a text explaining the thing. But sometimes, several rites will have to be completed to obtain such an item.
The interface of this new Encyclopedia is largely inspired by that of the lessons. It will present a complete list of "finishable" rites (those that a player character can actually accomplish).

Some of the rites proposed by the current Encyclopedia will be gradually converted into a new version where :
• the pre-ritual missions, although as simple as the current ones, will be more in line with the objective of the rite and not ordinary missions;
• except for four of them (national rites providing the same stanza in a specific version for each nation), no fame condition will be required;
• the progression in the rite will be in six steps (each corresponding to a face of an amber cube);
• the first and last steps of the rite will require dialogue with an NPC;
• the three steps following the first one will consist in the completion of simple missions (current pre-ritual assignments, rewritten);
• the fifth step will require the completion of a more complex and challenging mission: the "ritual quest", which constitutes the rite itself.

As for the future rites, they will also include six steps, but the character of each one will vary according to the rite that they will compose.

Q: Will the old rites already completed and the rewards obtained on completion remain?
A: Yes, no change. There will be no need to repeat the rite, the old rites will remain valid even after conversion. But the character may have to visit the converted rite to collect its reward again.

Q: Will the future rites be new rites or only the final development of currently "unfinished" rites?
A: Since no "unfinished" rites had really been started (ritual quest having not even received a start of development), we chose to delete them and start again on new rites built as I described earlier.

New rites

There will be forty new rites to start with, one rite per region, because we now have the tools to develop interesting and less buggy rites more quickly.
But even before these forty rites, you will be able to pass the very first rite of the new Encyclopedia, a rite that will allow you to unlock, against some Elyps, the possibility to "Adopt a zig".

I have to point out that the reason why the Encyclopaedia redesign has been delayed is that the particularly difficult development of the "Kincher" and "Kizoar" rites took a long time, prompting us to look for ways to develop rites more easily and quickly. That's also why these two rites will be converted only after the implementation of the new ones (their ritual quest requires recoding).

The new Encyclopedia and the "Briefcase" (the name is temporary), which will collect the texts, will be two new categories of the Encyclopedia window (SHIFT+e).
[/quote]

Q: Will there be armor or weapons awarded as ritual rewards?
A: No, the new rites will only offer, like the old ones, a stanza (a generic pattern, for example) or access to a new ability in game. No items.

Q: If there is no fame requirement, does that mean that the rites will be available to Marauders and Neutrals?
A: Yes, we want to make the Encyclopedia available to all characters without having to change their fames or citizenship. The rites of each nation or faction will award the same stanza, just available in several versions. They will thus only require one development, not a development for each nation or faction.

Q: Will success in performing the rites be lost if one changes faction or nation?
A: Yes, but only if the rite involved is one of those specific to each nation or faction. Which, incidentally, will be few in number and will mostly grant "cosmetic" rewards.

Q: Will the rites that make one a Kamist or a Karavanier be changed to a level of difficulty and duration comparable to the rite that currently makes one a Ranger?
A: No. Not for the time being, at least, because we are more motivated to do something new. We are now a bit tired of redesigns and these two existing and functional rites will wait for theirs for some time.

Q: Are the new rites already designed in outline or do you need help with the design?
A: No, they are not yet designed in outline. We have only, for the next forty new rites, adopted a general idea: they will have to make discover a region through activities and missions organized in a small story. So yes: all ideas are welcome. We are also interested in good stories to tell.

Q: When will these new rites be available in game?
A: The first rite, which I mentioned earlier, is in the final stages of translation. It has already been tested and is ready to be put in game.

Q: Will there be any new weapon or armor patterns among the ritual rewards? Those that use materials from all races, such as the existing axe or the electric shield?
A: Yes, generic patterns not already acquired and possibly nation/faction specific patterns.i]

3 - New Allegories

Ulukyn & Tykus (RT) – 21:53 UTC

I remind you that allegories are engravings that a Majestic Garden NPC applies on jewels which, once engraved and when worn by the character, give the latter special abilities. Because they are rarely used by players, because they are expensive, because it is not easy to get one for each ecosystem, and because some of them are no longer very useful, the system that regulates their use will be reworked.

But above all, we are going to add three new ones that should be more interesting. The first one will allow the wearer to obtain generic materials instead of those he currently gets by looting on killed creatures. Thus, the player, if he simply wants to increase his character's skills of armorer, tailor, etc. through training, will be able to alternate hunting sessions with crafting sessions.

Q: Will this generic looting concern commonplace creatures or only Bosses?
A: Commonplace creatures, yes. Those whose hunting essentially allows characters to improve their skills in the various fighting arts. And, by contrast, neither Bosses nor Nameds will allow generic looting.

Q: Will generic materials looted this way be exchangeable?
A: Good question! Yes, because there is no reason why they should not be.

Q: Will these generic materials be of the same level as the looted creature?
A: Yes, the same quality and quantity as those that would have been obtained by looting without allegory. Moreover, the player will have a certain number of chances (variable according to the level of the allegory worn and expressed in percentage) to see the quantity doubled during a looting.

Q: Will the generic materials so collected, unlike those provided by the Wheel of Fortune, weigh in the character's bag?
A: Yes, they will have the same general characteristics, weight included, as the "normal" materials they replace. So collecting generic materials instead of the usual ones does not change anything for the hunter's inventory.

Q: So, will the Wheel's generic materials become bulky, too?
A: No. But we'll probably reduce the chances of winning them in order to increase the chances of winning other possible rewards by gambling excellent or supreme tokens. So the generic materials from Wheel and those from looting will be different, and only the latter will be bulky.

Q: When will this allegory be put into play?
A: Soon: it is already coded and will be tested this week.

Mystery Items

Ulukyn (RT) – 22:12 UTC

The other two new allegories are identical in their effects, but one is for use during hunting sessions and the other during drilling sessions. They will give the character n % chance to find, while drilling or hunting, an object to identify buried in the bark or in the corpse of a creature.
The quality of these items will depend on the level of the region where they have been collected and they will be extremely diverse: excellent and supreme materials (these very rare), materials from a Boss of the region (also very rare), generic colored materials, pieces of pattern of weapon winnable at the Wheel, etc. Note, however, that generic weapon patterns will not be such items: they will be in the Encyclopedia.
In addition, we plan to introduce, in the fure, every week or month, special items for an unique player to find. If you have ideas for other such items, do not refrain from proposing them on the forum. Of course, the more valuable the item to be identified, the rarer it will be.
During a session, the wearer of the allegory will be able to obtain an item to identify on any creature (or source of raw materials), regardless of the number of creatures killed (or sources exhausted) during the session. Indeed, the popping of the item depends on successive dice rolls at a frequency calculated from the n % mentioned above.
Finally (the best, in my opinion) some objects to be identified will be treasure maps indicating more or less precisely the location of a chest to be extracted from the bark, and it will be up to you to set up a group expedition to go and get it.
The chest in question could contain various precious objects, Elyps and other tokens, as well as (even if it is not really decided yet) the Muse-Ham dress (LAM skin 3).

Q: Among the objects to be identified, will one be able to obtain weapons thanks to these allegories? Materials from outposts?
A: No weapons, no. But yes, the item to be identified could be a material produced by an outpost (extremely rare, only one per week for all of Atys, for example).

Q: Where will the character store the items to be identified that they find during their session? In the normal bag or the special one?
A: This is yet to be determined, but note that this storage will only be temporary: once identified, the item will be moved to the normal bag.

Q: Will the objects so found being identified only by visiting an NPC?
A: Yes, an NPC in one of the capitals cities, which so will be made more lively by returns from hunting or drilling.

Q: Will there be a limit to the number of items to identify (e.g., one per character per week) or will it depend solely on the length of the session conducted?
A: No. And yes: the longer a character hunts or drills, the more likely he/she will find such items, no matter how many creatures are killed (or how many sources are drilled) during the session.

Q: Will a player character be able to wear multiple allegories?
A: Yes, these three new allegories will be engraved on a ring. Thus, the same set of jewels will allow the character to benefit from the effects of two allegories, of the same or different nature.

Q: Will the process of engraving allegories be modified by the redesign of the system?
A: No, for the most part: only it cost will be modified, downward. And, by the way, I remind you that completing the Storyline missions allows you to increase the level of the allegories without any further cost.

Q: Will the reworking include the possibility of improving the durability of a piece of jewelry while having an allegory engraved on it?
A: No, but this may become available through a rite in the future.

Q: When will these three new allegories be available in game?
A: Soon: they have been coded and will be tested this week. And the collection of items to be identified will be gradually enriched afterwards. So, don't refrain from proposing on the forum your ideas for items to identify or allegories (including those already posted in the past).

The meeting is closed at 22:41 UTC.(*)

(*) But the Forge channel remains occupied until 23:20 UTC with the debate raised by an off-topic question (Why not a periodic geographic redistribution of drilling sites?) then asked.

Compte rendu réunion Ryzom forge du lundi 15 mai 2023

Ordre du jour :

Gameplay Maraudeur => Mise à jour du système de renommée
Nouvelle encyclopédie => Prochain rite
Ajout d'un nouveau bâtiment sur l’île de guilde => amélioration des matières d'avant-poste
Question/réponse avec la communauté

Premier point du jour : refonte du système de renommée maraudeur et du rite

En ce qui concerne la renommé maraudeur, il ne sera plus nécessaire d'avoir toute les renommées de votre personnage en négatif, le prérequis nécessaire pour passer le rite sera d'avoir 30 de renommé maraudeur.
Vous pourrez à l'aide des minis camps maraudeur se trouvant dans quelques zones 100 d'Atys, trouver des quêtes pour atteindre la renommée suffisante pour votre rite.

Une fois le rite passé, toute les autres renommées de votre personnage seront automatiquement à -50, de la même façon qu'un citoyen kami / karavan qui passe son rite obtient une fame de -50 chez les maraudeurs.

Un changement également pour le rite, jugé trop compliqué pour les jeunes joueurs voulant devenir de futur maraudeur : cela sera simplifié, l’étape ou il faut trouver et tuer un PNJ dans chaque capitale sera supprimée et remplacée par une étape plus simple.

Modification pour les gardes du camp maraudeur : dorénavant, les gardes du camps n'attaqueront que les joueurs ayant une renommé maraudeur de -50 ou moins.

Un ajustement passif de votre renommé aura lieu : Pour permettre à toute personne ( pas seulement les maraudeurs ) de se rendre dans n'importe qu'elle ville d'Atys et cela peu importe votre renommée.
Pour que votre fame bénéficie du changement passif, vous devez remplir deux critères : votre tag ne dois pas être actif et également aucune arme en main (quelque soit l'arme, ampli, dague etc...) une fois les deux prérequis réunis, votre renommé se trouvant en dessous de - 40 se trouveront systématiquement remontées à - 40, pour vous permettre l'accès aux villes et ainsi pouvoir accéder aux events et futurs rites en développement.

*******************************************

Deuxième point du jour : Nouvelle encyclopédie, rite à venir très prochainement !

Comme annoncé lors de la derniere réunion forge, de nouveaux rites de zone vont voir le jour,
Nous y sommes !

Il s'agira du premier rite, des rites géographiques, il y aura donc un rite par région, et les quatre premiers à voir le jour seront les rites des zones 50 pour pouvoir faire profiter toute la communauté.
Le rite sera orienté sur une histoire d'amour entre Flynn Mac'Quash et sa douce Damae !
Ils vous feront voyager dans la somptueuse zone 50 tryker, un des plus beau paysage...
Avec à la clé de votre périple une nouvelle compétence passive ! Aucune autre info les curieux, à vous de découvrir !

*******************************************

Troisième point à l'ordre du jour : bâtiment sur l’île de guilde pour l'amélioration de vos matières d'avant-poste

Il vous sera possible de construire un bâtiment sur l'île de guilde pour ensuite vous donner accès à un système d'amélioration de matière d'avant-poste.
En résumé, vous pourrez à l'aide de matières suprêmes, de points de guilde et d'un certain nombre d'item d'avant-poste procéder à leur amélioration en terme de qualité ( +50 pour chaque évolution )
Un système gratuit en point de guilde est mis en place de la qualité 50 à 150. Passé cette qualité, vous devrez débourser en plus des matières suprêmes et également des points de guilde.
Les points de guilde s’obtiennent en parlant avec chaque chasseur ou éclaireur de chaque région d'Atys en leur demandant la liste des rois se trouvant dans votre région actuelle.
1 Point par zone découverte, se réinitialise tous les 1er du mois, comptez une 40aines de point par mois et par guilde.
Dans le temps, il y aura d'autre système de gain de point de guilde, via des missions de guilde, achat et service de guilde

*******************************************

Dernier point : Echange de questions/réponses avec les joueurs

Question : Où en est le développement des maraudeurs légers manquants ?

- Le développement avance grandement. Ils seront implémenté et testé directement par la communauté afin de ne donner aucun avantage sur la stratégie.

Question : Pourrons-nous visiter les îles de guildes comme actuellement l’appartement d'un ami ?

-Plusieurs projet sur le feu à clôturer avant, mais cela est au programme,

Rendez-vous tous à la prochaine réunion forge, et bon jeu à tous sur l’écorce !

Ryzom Forge meeting report – May 13, 2024

1 - Ryzom's twentieth anniversary

Margote (RT) – 19:34 UTC

Twenty days of festivities are planned, from September 16 (the anniversary of the game's release in the USA) to October 5, 2024. A birthday cake and a fireworks display (or two) are planned, and several mini-games will be offered throughout this period, all of them OOC. There will be some unique items to be won, but these will be decorative items only.
However, as roleplay was and remains the soul of Ryzom, there will be moments dedicated to this aspect of the game. In addition, during these 20 days, we'll try to evoke what the game was like in its early days and show that, despite its 20 years of age, it's still evolving.
We're thinking of opening a discussion thread on the forum or on social networks where you can leave your messages and other video creations and drawings (or any other idea designed to wish Ryzom a happy birthday) or tell us what Ryzom has meant to you over these 20 years. If you've got a great idea but need a little help, you can contact us through Pavor (via direct message in Ryzom chat).
To conclude, I'd like to remind you that we want this party to resemble you: we therefore await your suggestions on the forum's thread Suggestion box for the 20th anniversary of Ryzomdu forum.
The floor is yours: questions, suggestions, comments...

Q: I'm planning to start shortly making videos to present the game. Who should I contact to discuss their content? Or do I have complete freedom?
A: Your videos are always welcome, and communication for now is indeed all about showing Ryzom to those who don't know it. Jadeyn is the one in charge of the videos in general... so the one I suggest you contact to create yours.

Q:Couldn't we erect a monument at the Nexus to commemorate this anniversary?
R: We've started thinking about something like that.

2 - Silan Refactoring

Ulukyn (RT) – 19:59 UTC

I'll go quickly on this one, as I'm not in great condition. I'll save my strength for the next one.
Actually, I was thinking of asking for your feedback on the Silan Refactoring here, but I guess the best thing is to open a forum thread where you can give it. However, we're already planning to remove the small chest to keep just one large chest and place a permanent chest offering only psykoplas.
That's all for this topic (I've kept it very short :D).

Q: Could the planned opening of this thread please remind us what this Silan Refactoring consisted of?
R: Sure !

3 - Guild inventories extensions

Ulukyn (RT) – 20:02 UTC

These have been under test for several days and are well on the way to being implemented soon. The chosen system is as follows.
• Guild inventories (accessible from Guild Islands) will be divided into several chests (20 maximum).
• The guild inventory tab will be replaced by two tabs, GH 1 and GH 2, each of which can display the contents of one of the guild's chests. This means that two chests can be viewed simultaneously, and you can choose which chest to display.
• Each chest will have 500 slots and a variable volume capacity. New chests (up to a maximum of 20) can be built on the Guild Island. They will physically appear there and can be individually enlarged, i.e. increased in volume.
• It will be possible to name each chest to make it easier to find, but also to grant, according to guild rank (member, officer or higher, senior officer or higher, leader only) three permissions:
— 1: Who can see the contents of the chest;
— 2: Who can deposit in the chest;
— 3: Who can take from the chest.
A member who is not allowed to view the contents of a chest won't be able to deposit items in it, and there will be only one safe reserved for the guild leader.
• Each chest will have a menu for changing its size, name or permissions.
• Building new chests and enlarging existing ones will become increasingly expensive. This cost will only be paid for in supreme drilled MPs or guild points, to which we may add MP collected from Bosses (currently in test).
Some questions ?

Q: Will players still have to be P2P subscribers for their characters to be able to access their guild's chests?
A: Yes, this will remain unchanged.

Q: For a guild populated by low-level characters, will OP-MPs be linked to the ability to drill 150, 200, 250, supreme MPs?
A: We haven't definitively validated the idea yet, but it's possible that the Quality required will depend on the number of chests already built. For example, small guilds could have their first chests built with Q150, the next ones with Q200 and the last chests with Q250 (the more chests you want, the higher the Quality will have to be).

Q: Are there any plans to introduce later such an expansion system for a character's own apartment?
A: No. The size of apartment storage will remain unchanged.

Q: Will the quantity of raw materials drillable on a given spot be increased?
A: Opinions differ from player to player on this point: some find it too high, already...

Q: How many MPs will be necessary to increase storage capacity? Is it possible to have an idea?
A: I really don't know, it will depend on how many chests a guild already have. The idea is to be able to easily double or triple the storage capacity and, as mentioned above, the more capacity you want, the more MPs you'll need. But we need time to measure the increase in GH volume and assess the impact of these arrangements on the server.

Q: When might these extensions be available?
A: If not this week, then during the first week of June.

Various issues

20:40 UTC
Q: Are there any plans to teleport from Guild Hall to Guild Island?
A: Not really, but when we add decorations to the GH, we'll be able to decide if they can be complemented by a teleporter to Guild Island. And we'll test access to the Island from one of the now-useless coach doors.

Q: What about the staircase leading down into the water (the watercut) from the docks at Fairhaven?
A: I'm putting it in place right away!

Q: Could New Horizons offer a function for moving the contents of an apartment to a new apartment?
A: This isn't necessary: capital cities' grooms already allow you to teleport packers (although they seem to exclude them <- this will be corrected), loaded or not, to another capital city's stable for a modest contribution in elyps.

The meeting is closed at 21:12 UTC.
