EVENTS

Daomei writes down a notice directed to her fellow Ranger Aspirants and fixes one copy at the Ranger assembly place in Almati Forest with the plea to help spreading the message. She sends another copy to Wuaoi, and one to the secretary of the Great Mask Mabreka Cho.

During the extraordinary assembly of the Circles of the Theocracy, Great Mask Mabreka Cho asked all homins irrespectively of descent or allegiance to unite against the dangers of the recent Goo expansion. It was mentioned that the Master of Goo tribe, whose encampment now is completely engulfed by the Goo, could have knowledge or even bear responsibility of the causes of this disastrous development. Ranger Aspirant Kiwalie and me offered the help when contacting this tribe. (A transcript of the session can be found here).

Mabreka entrusted the Rangers (the Ranger Aspirants) with an interrogation of the tribe leader, Goo Master Bo-Qung Fao. The purpose is to find out whether they bear responsibility for the outbreak and/or know about the cause and how to stop it.

Some words about the tribe: It is one of the outlaw tribes of the Witherings, and one of those doing research and manipulation of Goo. As extremely zealous Karavan followers, they will attack every Kami follower on sight. Moreover, they despise and attack their fellow Zorai unless they won reputation with them (OOC:Zorai fame = -66, Fyros and Matis = 0, Tryker = 16). So this tribe has to be approached cautiously even under normal circumstances. Right now, approaching the camp is deadly for every unprepared homin due to the Goo.

A group of Ranger Aspirants, among them Moniq, Gaperila, and me, explored the area. We found out that the nearest safe position to the tribe leader is 95m away:



It would be necessary to approach Bo-Qung Fao at a distance of 5-6m ca. :



In order to survive there, one or two healer/s will have to heal from inside the Goo area. The most convenient point would be right of the northeastern tower and left of the main entrance. There, the healer/s could be healed from the safe area which is approximately 45m away:





The Ranger Aspirant negotiating with Bo-Qung Fao (that would most probably be Kiwalie] would first go with the healer/s, then, when stably healed, proceed to the tribe chief, who has been notified and must agree to the meeting in advance (OOC: an event guide is needed for that).

We are looking forward for a date when the Ranger Aspirants and possibly other volunteers may gather for this task.

[Event] A barrier against the Goo (2017-09-28 21:00)
(*) [OOC] On Thursday, 28 September 2017 19:00:00 UTC (7 years ago) [/OOC]

Bonjour
bravo aux dev de creer des events pour certains joueurs à qui cela fait cruellement défaut.
Vous serait il possible svp d'ajouter la prochaine fois une sorte de tag "je particpe oui/non" un peu à l'instar des op, car pour ma part je ne participe pas à l'event et celui ci me bloque sur ce que je fais actuellement dans le vide.
Encore une fois je suis content et bravo pour ceux qui souahitent ce style d'event et d'activité sur l'ecorce mais ce n'est pas mon cas, je suis client, j'aime me ballader et m'activer sur l'ecorce, merci, si possible , de faire en sorte que le plaisir des uns ne bouffe pas celui des autres.

Well, the roleplay events in particular are part of the Atys history (Lore), they are "really occurring" in this virtual world.

Some consequences of such events are uncomfortable for some: When the aggressive Goo creatures populated parts of Atys, it was hard to do normal players' business where they roamed, and that was in a far greater area than the problem zone in Void nowadays.

Equally, during the creation event of the marauder city (on Leanon), many common passages (like e.g. the ramp from HS to KoD forest) were blocked for over a month by marauder NPC invasion camps. Or, during Kitin invasions, there was a risk of being ambushed, and many spots were infested by aggressive Kitins.

After a couple of weeks, and by cooperation of all players, the event will certainly come to an end. Those who do not enjoy it must stay patient.

There could hardly have been a tag granting "godmode" towards such phenomena, both simply for sake of coherence of the world of Ryzom as for technical reasons: If a class of players would be granted invulnerability against AoE damage like Goo, they would be intouchable by all Goo on Atys, and possibly by any AoE damage. And if they were inattackable by the aggressive mobs spawned for an event, they would be inattackable for any agro as long as the Devs would not code extra "event Goo" or "event agro".

During the event in Jen Lai, Master Magnetizer Gioi Qiai-Zhan explained the material requirements to build a magnetic barrier in the Void to contain the progression of Goo. The materials required are:

2,500 magnetic maps (magneto-cartographer occupation) of minimum grade 2

40,000 Pha amber excellent grade of minimum quality 100
40,000 Zun amber excellent grade of minimum quality 100

80,000 Pha amber choice grade of minimum quality 100
80,000 Zun amber choice grade of minimum quality 100

Amber may come from all ecos.

Reception of materials will start 29. Sept. in the evening (once the receiving NPC/crates are set up).

Mind that excellent Pha can be harvested on surface in summer and autumn during daytime, excellent Zun on surface can be harvested in summer and autumn as well, also during daytime with the exception of Void, where it occurs during night. Given the quantities required, excellent Zun spots in Prime Roots are not likely to play a major role.

As to the magnetic cartographer products, mind that a homin at grade 6 may produce 90 maps qualifying for the delivery every day. So this requirement seems less hard to fulfill while most of the excellent materials can be harvested but in 5 days ca.

ok les event sont une part de la lore ... une part, conséquente j'en conviens mais une part, pas la totalité de Ryzom. Nombreux sont ceux aussi qui jouent en dehors du roleplay et ce ne sont pas pour autant des délinquants ou des pollueurs de gameplay et j'en passe.
"Those Who do not enjoy must stay patient"
Ceux a qui cela ne plait pas DOIVENT etrepatient !!
Sérieusement ?? nous devons etre patient, point à la ligne ??
Je paye, je joue sans vous nuire, pourquoi je devrais etre atteint par votre jeux ??
De plus je ne vous dis pas que vous DEVEZ ne pas faire d'event ou que sais je, je vous demande de penser aussi si possible aux autres joueurs et je propose une solution, celle par exemple d'un rtag "je participe oui/non"
En gros je dis : je vous comprend mais pouvez vous faire en sorte que ..
et vous ne me repondez pas, on vous comprend on peux y reflechir, tentez des trucsus me repondez c'est comme ca et pas autrement. Super !

N'importe quoi... Ryzom est un MMORPG. Si tu ne veux pas jouer avec nous, change de jeu pour un truc pas RP et/ou pas Online.
Tu peux aussi t'installer un serveur ryzom chez toi et rester dans ton coin.

Société de consommation...

Duke, encore une remarque de ce type, et je vais finir par te demander en mariage. Fait gaffe :p

Plus sérieusement, je comprend que les event puissent déranger les non rpiste (voir les rpiste même). Mais ils font parti du jeu. C'est la lore d'une certaine manière. Les mettre en option, ce serait comme demander de mettre les kitins en option également. Si on n'est pas content que le vide soit devenu presque impraticable, et bien c'est peut être que le jeu n'est pas fait pour nous. Ryzom est un peu évolutif. J'ai envie de dire tant mieux.

Mais pourquoi il n'y aurait pas de la place pour tout le monde ??
En aucun cas depuis 2005 ma façon de jouer vous à empécher de jouer comme bon vous semblait. En aucun cas je juge votre fàçon de jouer.
Il n'y a aucun engagement à jouer rp en acceptant de jouer à Ryzom.
Le fait que des joueurs car je doute etre le seul, qui payent sans jouer RP ont participer au maintient de la présence de jeux.
Ce n'est pas une question de société de consommation mais de respect pour ce que nous joeurs non rp avons apportés également pendant de 15 ans.
J'ai dis bravo pour votre event et la satisfaction apporté aux joueurs rp mais svp si possible pensez aussi aux autres n'y a aucune raison que nous ne puissions pas tous cohabiter, il y a de la place pour tout le monde !

lorsqu'il y a un op, il y a la possibilité d'etre neutre, ca ne met pas les Kitins de coté Duke, mais de jouer comme bon te semble au milieu d'une partie de rp. J'invente rien là, sur un op c'est accepté et les 2 façon de jouer ont leur place

je ne parlerai pas au nom de tous les rpiste, mais pour ma part, le rp, c'est un tout. Si je vois des gens qui se baladent dans le vide alors que dans ma tête de personnage, y'a de la goo, ça coince. Il n'y a pas de cohabitation possible ici.

Je suis sur le cul Azazor, j'ai du respect pour ta franchise et le fait que tu assume totalement ce que tu pense (que tu parles en ton nom aussi) et je suis abasourdi par le rejet, par le non droit à la différence.
Mais bon en meme temps si ca coince dans ta tete pasque je fore en plein OP, pasque je rez des maraud des kara ou des kamis, pasque je pex ou aide n'importe quel joueur ou que je me balade au milieu d'une goo event.. ben j'en suis désolé mais c'est ton prob et pas le mien.

Donc tu veux que je fasse un effort pour respecter ta façon de jouer mais toi tu ne veux pas en faire pour moi? Ok. Il y a incompatibilité et le débat est clot pour ma part. Dans ces cas là, les seules à même de trancher sont les anims.

Ntilza: I agree to Azazor (that happens not too often :) ). And mind: You complain about temporary hardships due to a turn in the history of Atys. Would you demand to be exempt of agro damage when Kitins storm our cities, just because you do not like RP?

Others feel harrassed by the KP, would you demand that they do not attack you? If not, why not, and how is your demand more legitimate? Mind that the KP was not present all time, and went back in consequence of a RP event.

Now to something completely different, though closely related.

The storyline of the current event string seems somewhat unclear to a majority of players. Personally, I have participated in a large part of related events, but have a couple of gaps to be filled in. My summary, starting early in 2014, reads as following:

A couple of years ago, the circles of Hoi Cho offered to the Akenak of Dyron assistance in creation of a water source for the Desert, in particular for the water supply of the Kitin observation camps. After the delivery of the necessary materials, a drill was set up in Great Outback, protected by guards of the Theocracy. The water retrieved prove as contaminated by mud and probably by Goo. So a search for water filters began (event series). By the help of the Root Tappers (expedition to their camp, led by me :) ) clearing from mud was achieved.

The problem of Goo contamination of the well remained. The Federation of Aeden Aequeous was asked for assistance. After providing the requested compensation (event part) two engineers, along with their equipment, were escorted from Fairhaven to Zora. The expedition arrived there after a minor incident. Marauders in Trench of Trials had demanded ransom before letting the trek pass, but as no settlement could be achieved, passage was achieved by force (the marauders gave a good fight and took it as good sports).

After that, the Tryker engineers vanished. A search was set up and resulted in finding the Tryker scientist O'Bannon Emmen who had travelled to Zora to assist the engineers in their work.

(Here I have a gap in my account. Somebody with knowledge about please fill in.

Short after the contact of the researchers with O'Bannon Emmen the catastrophic progression of Goo in the void occurred. There is some evidence that the two Tryker engineers are somehow involved in this development. In addition, several "Goo researching" (and Goo drug consuming) tribes are under suspicion, the Master of Goo, situated in the Void, in particular.

So far my knowledge. Somebody kindly fill in the gaps.
