Ryzom Forge meeting report – November 8, 2021

1 - Pen-and-paper role-playing game in Ryzom universe

Drumel (RT) – 20:39 UTC
For some time we have been working on a role-playing game in the Ryzom universe. The goal is to be able to play outside the New Lands, either on the Old Lands, now or before the Swarmings, or in other more remote places. Places that will never be in the MMO, for example places where resurrection does not exist.
There is a playable first draft, and I need testers, initially one or two teams of four people. People to play and point out what works well and give suggestions for improvement. For the moment, the working version is in French, and my level in other languages means that I can only have people playing in French. But if a game master wants to get involved, we can also set up tests in other languages.

Q: What is the purpose of this? I have a hard time understanding the principle of taking people out of the MMO to go to restricted areas when the MMO is sorely lacking in players.
A:
No, it's not that at all! It's a complement, we're not taking anyone away from the MMO. Tabletop roleplaying allows you to explore the game world without the need for tehnique, it's a game played around a table with paper, pencils, and dice. We chat, and we don't need a screen or a computer :-) and we are currently working on a "rule book".
To put it simply, it's Dungeons & Dragons in the Ryzom universe, if that makes for you more sense.


Q: What type of table game it is? Card game like [/i]Magic: The Gathering[i], card game with map, map with dices, miniatures with rulers?
A:
It is not a card game, it is a game where each player plays a character, and one of the players, the game master, embodies the entire environment. (See Wikipedia article.)

Q: Is the goal to build a game that Winchgate can publish?
A:
A priori the game will remain in PDF or POD, and will be distributed for free. As for the rules, I plan to put them under a CC-By-SA license, but I haven't discussed it with Winchgate yet.

Q: I just wanted to add that tabletop roleplaying has been gaining a lot of popularity in the last few years in France. I can't say if a Ryzom tabletop roleplaying game will succeed in bringing roleplayers to the MMO, but in any case, it can help to make the universe known. So this is a good initiative in itself, because the Ryzom universe is worth knowing. Do you plan to record/film games? In stream, maybe. Hot to test if not!
A:
At the moment no, and I think it would make me too uncomfortable to do so.

Q: Can we have a precise idea of the method used to test, then?
A:
Precise no, but it will either be a visio, or just voice with screen sharing, maybe using a dedicated software like Rolisteam.

Q: I was wondering if, when I would like to play with so and so, I should put my webcam, my microphone…. Otherwise, what will it bring us more? A comeback to conviviality?
A:
The final objective, beyond the tests, is to allow players to play at home with their friends, around a real table. The tests are to help in the development.
A comeback I don't know: personally, I have never stopped playing tabletop roleplaying games since university.


Drumel notes the names of the five participants at the meeting who expressed interest in testing (including two non-French speakers whom he will contact directly afterwards) and retains the idea of a wider call for testers (on the forums) before closing his contribution.

2 - OP refactoring

Tamarea (RT) – 21:28 UTC
The outpost refactoring project is Dev's current #1 priority.
Now that GvE tests are finished, we are preparing the next tests on Atys, which will involve GvG. Like GvE tests, these ones will be performed on special outposts.
Ulukyn (Dev) will come to present this GvG part in detail during the next Ryzom Forge meeting on Monday, December 6th.

Q: Since I'm currently without a guild, I was wondering: is the lack of "traditional" outpost battles for the past few weeks due to guilds being busy with testing?
A:
No, there are other explanations for this stalling (participants give some). But the latter is the reason why we keep the redesign of the outposts as our #1 priority. We'll talk about it again at the next Ryzom Forge meeting.

3 - Recruitment

Tamarea (RT) – 21:42 UTC
Support Team

The Support team continues its recruitment campaign for volunteers.
We need you, your availability, your technical and gameplay knowledges of the game but also your diplomacy, to expand our ranks and best meet the expectations of players.
To learn more, please consult this post: https://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/22047/2 #2 .
To apply, contact Tamarea exclusively at tamarea@ryzom.com, and do not tell anyone about your application!

Event Team
We're looking for volunteers who want to help write event scripts, or who want to become actors by playing a character in the events we play.
Training is provided, and the entry into acting is done very gradually to give the recruit time to get used to it.
Join us to benefit from this unique experience!
To apply, contact Tamarea exclusively at tamarea@ryzom.com and do not tell anyone about your application!

Translation Team
We are looking for volunteers to translate in-game texts and official announcements into English, German, Spanish, Russian, French, as well as to proofread texts in these five languages.
To apply, contact Tamarea exclusively at tamarea@ryzom.com.

That was the last topic for today!
If you'd like to contact Drumel about tabletop roleplaying, you can do so on chat.ryzom, or reply to the meeting minutes on the forum when they're posted.
The next meeting will be held on Monday, December 6th!
The two main topics will be Bugs and testing, and Outpost redesign.

Off-topic

(21:51 UTC)

Q: Would it be possible to know if patch here the proposed can be authorized? I'm itching to share it (and use it). I don't necessarily expect a definite answer now, but I would really like to have an official answer at some point, because I want to go kitin hunting with my friend. And I know that this kind of topic is easily overlooked... At the same time I'm not going to use and spread what can be considered as a feat, without official authorization.
A:
I can't answer now, the idea must be investigated by the Devs. But we will answer you on the forum.

The meeting is closed at 22:00 UTC

I have a hard time understanding the principle of taking people out of the MMO

That's the dumbest argument against community projects ever, and this sort of closed minded thinking is why Ryzom will never recover. Adding more target markets does not take away from your existing niche target market. Growing the community does not shrink it.

It would tho, any ryzom player playing another game is taken away from playing ryzom.
Anyone buying the board game who isn't an existing ryzom player and decides to give ryzom a try would be an addition true.
A board game set outside of the game would always primarily target board game players and potential new ryzom players secondary.
No need to be condescending either.

Look at the resurgence of CP2020 when Cyberpunk 2077 came out and you'll see how wrong that is. It's a little different there since CP2077 is not an MMO so many peopel will stop playing after beating it a few times, but my point that it's not a zero-sum equation remains.

Do not assume that you speak for all just because you are the loudest voice; there are many who disagree that simply have no desire to waste words on you.

I get what you mean, but what i mean is time cannot be spend on both at the same time, spending those 1-2 hours on the board game are 1-2 hours that you are not present/active/engaged into ryzom.
Active playerbase optics is already a problem in ryzom, when 1 person leaves a large crowd it goes unnoticed, when 1 person leaves small group it will.
With your Cyberpunk example its doubtful 100% of cp2020 players that tried cp2077 did all return, of course a themed board game is very different from an mmo, not like going from fps to fps, but it remains that players time will be split regardless if they return.

Regarding the board game itself, i understand the 'fun' but not the benefit of it, the splitting of players activity/time aside, dev-time and resources spend there could have been spend on the main attraction, i also fail to see how it will attract new players besides circles of friends that likely would have already mentioned ryzom if there was interest among them (i hope), in the case of marketing i have doubts and raise the question why marketing ryzom isn't done more in stead and in the case marketing ryzom is already exhausted i fail to see why the board game would then raise new players in its place.

The person behind this tabletop rpg project is already active in the Lore Team. He is not a developer of the game. So his time wouldn't have been spent on development. Working on a tabletop rpg is a good continuation of the lorist work: it will use the existing lore and extend it.
It is NOT a marketing project too, it's a tabletop rpg that a passionate is making and wants to share it with the community. You are not interested in it, fair enough it's your right so just pass by it won't change anything for you at all.

PS: Ryzom is claiming to have a strong "role-playing" community and looking at feedbacks this tabletop rpg project is receiving tells me it's a false statement.

Ryzom Forge meeting report – December 6, 2021

1 - Report about recent crashes

Ulukyn (RT) – 20:36 UTC
Let's talk a little about the recent server problems, there have been several.
The first problem, the most critical, was quite particular and could crash any Ryzom service. Indeed, a Ryzom server is composed of many services which manage an aspect of the game: the EGS which manages the entities (NPC, creatures, actions, etc...), the IOS manages texts and chats and other smaller services but whose role is also important. Now, the bug could occur in one of these services and up to 2-3 times a day, which depending on the service that crashed could cause chain reactions (and therefore a server that crashes completely). The reason of the crash is a bit technical (I could give more details if needed) but a fix was applied and since then none of the services crashed because of this bug.
Another bug has finally been fixed. This is one of the oldest known bugs in the game. We suspected that it came from the missions and we had a hunch that it only happened with characters returning to the game after a long absence. We were able to investigate this bug because we unintentionally caused it by moving occupations into Kitins' Lair. This maneuver, in fact, unknowingly caused the aliases (identification numbers saved in the character's file kept by the server) of the missions concerned to change. Now, if a mission changes aliases and a player has kept the old alias in the character's save file on his own machine, the server will crash as soon as the character in question is loaded. This is because aliases were not originally designed to be changeable... no one anticipated that some missions would be moved from one continent to another. Finally, this diagnosis made it easier to find and fix the bug and the unfortunate player who was crashing the server every time he tried to log was finally able to join Atys without a hitch.
A third bug has been identified in the IOS, which occurs quite rarely. We made the hypothesis that it occurred when a message was sent by the server on a dynamic chat channel, at the same time as one of the players disconnected and added several checks to avoid this conjunction. For the moment, no new crashes have been reported. We keep an eye on it though.
Finally, the last bugs (which cause slowdowns and huge delays in sending messages) occur when the SU crashes (SU = Shard Unifier, a service especially useful when several servers are running - like Aniro, Arispotle and Leanon - or when Ring sessions are active). We have already fixed one of them, the fixing of another is in progress. We will strengthen the part of SU code that handles database writing.
That's it for the information about the recent crashes. Are there any questions?

Q: Is this one of those bugs that was causing the chat channels to mix? And does that mean that this mixing will not happen anymore?
A:
Yes, the first one described above. And no, the channel mixing will not happen anymore..

2 - Feedback on the Client's beta tests

Ulukyn (RT) – 21:02 UTC
See forum.
We need as much feedback as possible, because the timing of the next patch depends on it: the sooner we validate the beta client, the sooner we will patch the new features.
So, are there people who have been able to play with the beta client regularly?

Q: Is the "beta client" the RyZtart launcher?
A:
No, RyZtart simply allows you to activate the game in beta mode on the Atys server (and not on one of the test servers). This allows you to test the next client patch "in real conditions". It is recommended, however, to backup the save/ directory before testing.

Q: For me, the titles don't work, and neither does the sound.
A:
The titles are being totally recoded in a simpler and more modern interface. They will be compatible with the new client in the next patch. As for the sound, fixing is in progress: we will contact you if needed.

Q: Your recommendation to backup save/ beforehand is what made me recoil so far. Do we really need to backup save/ before every beta game session?
A:
Actually, one should always save, but it's more of a precaution than anything else. For the moment the only bug that has caused problems is the unexpected resetting of the UI that occurs when switching frequently between normal and beta client: without backup, the player is then forced to reposition to his taste all windows. But so far, no problems with macros, landmark pennants or others, just a bug reported regarding friends groups which is currently being checked (we will let you know if it is confirmed).
That said, if RyZtart automatically created a zip of the save/ folder each time beta mode was activated/deactivated, it would probably help to have more testers….


Q: The RyZtart launcher should also just be more promoted (a lot of players don't read forum announcements). A once per day reminder in Universe channel, like ''Please check out RyZtart and the beta client'', maybe?
A:
We will think about it.

3 - Feedback on Boss refactoring

Ulukyn (RT) – 21:23 UTC
See forum.
What are your feedbacks, especially about the new algorithm of spawn of Bosses?
We would like, indeed, to know if its activation in all regions of Atys is now possible or if it still needs some adjustments.

Q: Some say that no Boss spawns in the Savage Dunes anymore. What about this?
A:
We haven't spotted any bug so far, at least by looking at the logs.
(three minutes pass in silence…)
No other remarks… So we can expect a switch to the new system soon. This will allow us to move on to new stages of the project.

4 - Progress on OP refactoring (GvG)

Ulukyn & Tykus (RT) – 21:30 UTC
The project is pretty well advanced.
We are running the last alpha tests and the tests on the test servers (Yubo & Gingo) should start soon. At the moment they are focusing on new GvG outposts in zones 50 and will allow us to determine if the NPC setting is good (it is at its minimum, but fighting a guild and NPCs simultaneously can be a bit of a challenge).
During this GvG test, we will move forward with the rest of the project. Some of the changes that are already ready, such as reducing the duration of battles to 1 hour and lowering the cost of attacks, could be implemented quickly. The rotation of materials and the taking of outposts by hostile NPC tribes would then come in a later phase of project development.
We agreed to give the project a boost over the next two months.

Q: Will, as for a classic attack, the attacking NPCs have to fight the NPCs of the attacked outpost too?
A:
Yes.

Q: Will, eventually, ALL outpost battles have to be fought in GvG only?
A:
Not at all. Battles will remain as they are now, we will simply add a GvG attack option, which will be limited in its use. Also, battles for outposts in the Nexus will remain in GvE. This means that outposts will offer a wider range of possibilities.

Q1: Isn't it feared that some of these changes will make it difficult for our guild to retain the many outposts it owns for several years?
Q2: Our guild owned a level 200 outpost for a few weeks and Q250 mats have been produced… in very low amounts. For lower level OPs, it will be worse and even less attractive, I think. So will there be any change in the production of the outposts? For example, better quality materials for a level 50 OP?
A:
Yes, this is planned. The production rates will not be the same at all, but a 50 OP will be able to produce Q250 mats (in smaller quantities than a 250 OP of course). And a 250 OP could also end up producing only Q50 mats (a depleted mining seam). This means that (and to answer the first question) retain an outpost will not be as interesting as it is now: it will be much more profitable to change for another.

Q: Isn't it feared that, in the long run, only the richests can afford it? That, in the long run, many OPs will never be attacked, thus left in the possession of NPCs useless to the life of the game?
A:
As said above, the cost of conquest of outposts will be drastically reduced and, moreover, it will be variable depending on the mode of conquest (GvE, GVG or FvF).

Q: Will there be other productions than the current ones on these new outposts, which would make their possession more interesting?
A:
Yes, but the working group in charge of the project confirms its original intention: these new productions adding value to the ownership of the outposts will only be implemented once the overhaul of the battle mechanics is completed. This will allow everyone to benefit, regardless of their preferred type of PvP and the effort they are able to put in.

The meeting is closed at 22:17 UTC

Lol. What a load of bullshit. No criticism of Winch Gate allowed? You're not gonna keep much goodwill from volunteers, open source contributers, and other community projects, with this attitude.

Compte-Rendu de la réunion de Ryzom Forge – 3 janvier 2022

1 - Point sur les outils développeurs

Ulukyn (RT) – 20:38 UTC
Je vais revenir sur l'année 2021, qui as été l'année de la consolidation si l'on peut dire.

Nous avons en effet mis à jour pas mal de choses, d'une part les serveurs, le webIG et le code du client (avec la fusion du code de Ryzom Core 4), mais également le processus de compilation qui se base maintenant sur Visual C++ 2019 pour Windows. De plus un outil, Hunter, a été mis en place par Nimetu (RT) pour compiler plus facilement tout l'ensemble.

Au-delà des outils, l'année écoulée a aussi vu l'équipe des développeurs mettre à jour sa façon de travailler : nous utilisons désormais d'avantage gitlab pour les bogues, la communication et la gestion des patchs et nous en sommes très satisfaits… À se demander pourquoi ne pas l'avoir fait plus tôt ! Il reste une dernière chose à faire : réunir nos dépôts serveur et data client avec le dépôt ryzom-core, ceci afin de rendre le processus de développement encore plus simple.

Nous avons également travaillé enrichir notre collection de systèmes génériques ou basés sur des modèles. C'est le cas, par exemple, des « shops » qui sont de plus en plus (et seront par la suite massivement) utilisés pour mettre à disposition des objets ou des services en jeu (par exemple les achats en Elyps, que ce soit auprès des marchands des Nations, des palefreniers ou des PNJ graveurs d'Allégories). C'est le cas également des Leçons qui sont la base de l'information transmise en jeu aux joueurs, ainsi que, enfin, de la fenêtre Encyclopédie (ctrl+E) qui regroupe les Missions journalières, la Storyline, le futur tutoriel et, depuis peu, les titres, qui tous se basent (ou se baseront) sur le même modèle.

De ce fait, nous avons (et aurons) moins de systèmes à maintenir, donc moins de bogues et nous pourrons concentrer nos efforts sur trois tâches principalement. À savoir :
• l'achèvement des trois projets de refonte (Silan, Rois, Avant-postes) ;
• la poursuite la Storyline et l'ajout de contenus encore à achever (Jetons suprêmes, par exemple) ;
• la correction des bogues et l'amélioration du client (l'année 2022 commencera d'ailleurs par un patch – actuellement en test – illustrant ce point).

2 - Présentation du prochain patch

Ariald (RT) – 20:58 UTC
Comme Ulukyn l'a mentionné, l'un de nos objectifs pour 2022 est d'améliorer l'expérience des joueurs en corrigeant les bugs ou en améliorant le client. C'est exactement ce que fera le premier patch de janvier.

Le premier changement apporté concerne le système d'échange entre personnages joueurs. Plus généralement, nous avons essayé d'améliorer le déroulement des échanges d'objets, car actuellement, ce n'est pas le meilleur. En plus de modifier et de simplifier la disposition de la fenêtre d'échange, nous avons ajouté deux emplacements supplémentaires pour les objets. Ce sont principalement les échanges de parures qui nous ont conduit à ce dernier changement.

Un autre changement que nous avons apporté à la fenêtre d'échange des joueurs est la possibilité de glisser et déposer des objets dans la fenêtre en question depuis tous vos inventaires. Ainsi, si vous voulez échanger des objets transportés par votre Zig, vous n'aurez plus besoin de les transférer d'abord dans votre sac, donc d'interrompre l'échange pour le compléter ensuite. Remarque : afin de ne pas encombrer la fenêtre de sélection des objets, celle-ci ne vous montrera pas les objets des autres inventaires et cette fonction n'opèrera que par glisser-déposer.

La dernière modification apportée à la fenêtre d'échange présentée à chacun des joueurs est l'ajout d'indicateurs de volume et de poids des objets. En fait, un petit indicateur (semblable à celui qui se trouve en haut à droite de vos inventaires) vous sera affiché à côté des deux offres, qui indiquera le poids et le volume des objets donnés et reçus. Tout ceci dans l'espoir de rendre les échanges un peu plus fluides.

Ensuite, l'empilement d'objets. Quiconque a combattu en PvP connaît la sensation d'un inventaire encombré de sorts cristallisés. Désormais, les sorts cristallisés de la même stanza (ou d'une stanza identique) s'empilent automatiquement dans l'inventaire où ils sont stockés. Le même encombrement se produisant actuellement dans le sac des artisans au travail, les objets produits identiques s'empileront désormais automatiquement dans l'inventaire.

Des questions jusqu'à présent ?

Q : Sera-t-il possible de choisir l'inventaire où les articles échangés finissent ? Par exemple, de transférer une pile complète de matières premières transportées par mon mektoub au mektoub de mon partenaire d'échange ?
R :
Pour l'instant, ce n'est pas possible, mais je vais y penser.

Q : Les « vrais » Rangers s'interdisent le PvP. Pourquoi, alors, trouve-t-on au Bois d'Almati un marchand payable en points PvP ? (Par contre, conserver la possibilité d'acquérir la robe et le bouclier serait bien.)
R :
C'est une question que nous évaluons. Je suis d'accord avec vous pour dire que ce n'est pas idéal. Le patch n'y changera rien cependant.

Q : Peut-être pourrait-on transformer ces points PvP en points « PvK » qu'on gagnerait en repoussant les invasions kitines ?
R :
Peut-être, oui. Je prends note.

Ariald (RT) – 21:27 UTC
Passons aux corrections.
Je dois dire que ce patch est assez gros et que je passe donc sous silence certains petits détails. Vous aurez la surprise lorsque la patchnote sera publiée !

Nous avons beaucoup de corrections dans ce patch, notamment concernant les Zigs :
• correction du bogue qui leur donnait un statut erroné lorsqu'ils étaient hébergés en sac ;
• ajout de leurs inventaires en onglets dans les fenêtres commerciales des PNJ marchands ;
• ajout de la possibilité de transfert direct des objets de leur inventaire vers celui de votre appartement et vers celui du hall de votre guilde ;
• correction du dysfonctionnement du verrouillage/déverrouillage des objets de leur inventaire.

À ce propos, les statuts de verrouillage des objets s'afficheront désormais dans l'inventaire de l'appartement et celui du hall de votre guilde.

Des questions ?

Q : Pourrons-nous toujours stocker en grand nombre des cristaux de sève sur les Zigs ?
R :
Oui, cela ne change pas.

Q : Qu'en est-il du bogue qui fait disparaître la fenêtre d'inventaire d'un Zig lorsqu'on vous le sortez de votre sac (ça arrive parfois lorsque la sortie du sac est actionnée par macro) ?
R :
Intéressant. Je n'étais pas au courant de ce bogue. Je vais enquêter et peut-être prendre contact avec vous plus tard afin que nous puissions mettre cela en place sur gitlab.

Q : L'ajout des Zigs aux fenêtres commerciales des PNJ marchands signifie-il que nous pourrons désormais les acheter ?
R :
Ah, peut-être que je n'ai pas été clair… Voici une capture d'écran, vous comprendrez peut-être mieux.
Voyez : le Zig 1 apparaît désormais comme un onglet dans la fenêtre. Ainsi, je peux échanger des articles portés par mon Zig, comme je le fais déjà pour ceux sur un mektoub de bât ou dans mon sac.


Q : Combien un personnage peut-il posséder de Zigs, au maximum ?
R :
Actuellement 3. Et ça ne changera pas avec le patch.

Q : Ne pourrait-on rendre disponibles aux joueurs de bas niveau le pantalon et le gilet Q50 gagnés en jouant à la Roue de la Fortune… au moyen d'échanges entre joueurs ? Ne suffit-il pas pour ça de faire stocker ces objets dans notre sac « non spécial » ?
R :
Actuellement, l'armure de réfugié que vous recevez en jouant à la Roue n'est pas échangeable… Nous y réfléchissons, mais pour l'instant je n'ai pas de réponse.

Q (Ariald) : Ok, s'il n'y a rien d'autre, ceci résume le premier patch de janvier. Ulukyn, veux-tu prendre brièvement le relais pour parler du second ?
R (Ulukyn) :
Oui, rapidement… Le second patch concernera les refontes, du coup. Elles seront patchées en janvier, ou en février si tout n'est pas encore totalement testé d'ici là. Je vais donc faire un point.

3 - Refonte de Silan

Ulukyn (RT) – 21:51 UTC
J'ai refait le tutoriel après plusieurs avis des premiers testeurs, et il est maintenant plus intuitif et interactif. Les avis sur le deux premières Leçons sont plutôt positifs. Je poursuis donc et j'espère qu'il aidera vraiment les nouveaux joueurs à prendre leurs marques.

J'en profite pour rappeler que l'équipe de test recrute. Donc, si vous souhaitez tester soit le patch implémentant les ajouts au client, soit les premières leçons du tutoriel, vous êtes les bienvenus.

Q : Je peux passer un peu de temps sur les tests des premières leçons du tutoriel. Comment s'inscrire ?
R :
Il suffit de contacter Tamarea.

4 - Refonte des Rois

Ulukyn (RT) – 22:01 UTC
La refonte des Rois sera prochainement appliquée à l'ensemble d'Atys. Toutefois, le chantier est destiné à se prolonger, même si nous n'avons pas encore établi précisément sur quoi nous allons travailler. Mais nous aimerions beaucoup faire de la chasse aux Rois une activité des plus fun sur Ryzom.

Une des idées évoquées parmi nous, pour que les talents tactiques des joueurs puissent s'épanouir et qu'ils échappent à la routine, est celle qui doterait chacun des Rois actuels d'une mécanique de défense propre. C'est l'idée qui est en fait à l'origine de ce projet de refonte… et de son nom initial : « Boss in the Box ».

Si vous avez d'autres idées, n'hésitez pas à les poster au forum à la suite du compte-rendu de la réunion.

Des questions ?

Q : Je ne sais dire que « Je t'aime. » dans une autre langue que le français… Serait-il possible que tous les canaux de faction bénéficient de la traduction automatique ?
R :
La question est hors-sujet, mais elle revient assez souvent pour que nous l'envisagions sérieusement. Cependant, je ne peux donner une date pour la mise en œuvre de cette amélioration car nous devons, pour être efficaces, nous concentrer sur une petit nombre de projets.

5 - Refonte des Avant-postes

Ulukyn (RT) – 22:17 UTC
Nous avons pu avancer sur le GvG, mais son introduction ne nous semble intéressante que si elle s'accompagne des changements prévus sur tous les Avant-postes.

C'est pourquoi nous envisageons de faire plusieurs changements en même temps. À savoir :
• réduction de la durée des batailles à une heure (déjà testée au Nexus) ;
• rotation des matières premières produites par chaque avant-poste tous les N jours (à déterminer), via redémarrage du serveur ;
• suppression de la production de matières premières de qualités 50 et 100 ;
• ajout de quatre Avant-postes dans les régions de niveau 50 pour test des batailles en GvG.

À la suite de quoi un autre patch viendra implémenter les dernières modifications, vu que le projet a bien avancé grâce aux tests en vraie grandeur sur le serveur Atys.

Des questions ?

Q : Suite à ces modifications, les Rangers pourrons donc posséder des Avant-postes ?
R :
Les Rangers peuvent déjà posséder des Avant-postes, mais ils ne disposent pas d'une foreuse générique pour les exploiter. (S'ensuit un débat hors-sujet entre plusieurs des joueurs présents, à propos de la Voie des Rangers.)

Après un réjouissant échange de félicitations entre les intervenants RT et les participants, la réunion est close à 23:00 UTC.
