Boroshi(CSR) says: Ok so first a couple of introductions and explanations
Boroshi(CSR) says: Aphanaku here is the "Senior Event Manager" for Leanon
Boroshi(CSR) says: We are waiting for the Aniro one
Rahia says: The Aris one ran away.
Boroshi(CSR) says: Im the Aris one until someone more suitable can be found
Boroshi(CSR) says: As you may have heard, Aniro and Leanon have started having some events already
Sasi says: really?
Nysha says: which means you're slacking, Boro ;)
Rahia says: what do you expect Nysha? :P
Faa says: Might mean we're more difficult to please too
Boroshi(CSR) says: Unfortunately due to various reasons we wont be able to do those events until after Christmas :(
Ffionnys says: what reasons?
Meagon says: How long after christmas??? ht day after?
Boroshi(CSR) says: The reasons include a lack of people on the Aris team (hence the recruitment)
Hekla says: But will those events be staged? I'm afraid we'll be lagging behind.
Ffionnys says: seriously though ... what reasons?
Boroshi(CSR) says: As for what time in the next year, soon in January (soon soon, not soon(tm) :P )
Drenera says: its always soon(tm) until you put a date on it
Nysha says: and that's a good point - having events start after billing does is gonna reduce the likelihood of a lot of people subbing
Boroshi(CSR) says: We will *try* to do them before Christmas, but I cant guarantee it is all Im saying ;)
Bosse says: kk folks lets give them a chance hehehe
Stumpy says: agrees
Vrixy says: yes please let them explain .
Kilgoretrout says: What kind of events?
Hekla says: Yes, are meaningful events in the plans? Amber cube recoveries are nice, but they will not influence gameplay much, only roleplay.
Boroshi(CSR) says: As an event team, Apha Wiedii and me have discussed at length what wed like to do with the events
Boroshi(CSR) says: And our immediate plans are to bring some more meaning to the Civilisations
Ffionnys says: interesting ...
Nysha says: how so?
Boroshi(CSR) says: To kick that off, the first main events will be one for each of the Civs which involve recovering some lore in the form of Amber Cubes
Boroshi(CSR) says: The events arer a mix of RP, PvE, and some "Player vs Event Character"
Boroshi(CSR) says: As a part of focussing on the Civs, we intend to bring player-based governments for all 4 races
Drenera says: O.o
Moyaku says: O.o
Faa says: wow
Nysha says: how will that work?
Jelathnia says: [Intriguing :o]
Yukka says: sounds good
Zeyphir says: wow
Boroshi(CSR) says: This has already been done to a small degree on Aniro
Olca says: :o
Moyaku says: awesome
Elemental says: thats going to mess with guild makups and such
Gilgameesh says: O.O
Hekla says: This is excellent.
Nysha says: lol yeah Ele, sitting here fyros GL of a zorai guild thinking "ermmm..." :P
Deadelf says: bow to the new great sage! :D
Groged says: Azad for President
Gamaera says: a good idea.... mumbles*
Drenera says: the only good president is a dead one...or a sweemer
Hekla says: But organizational matters aside, how will that influence game play? :P
Boroshi(CSR) says: Obviously the dev team has their first priority as "bug fixing" so at the beginning it will be only in an RP and events way, without a mechanic behind it
Boroshi(CSR) says: But we hope to get them to integrate something into the mechanics as well ;)
Boroshi(CSR) says: Now while the Civs are important, theyre not the only thing on Atys
Drenera says: so your big event is to integrate something that wont actually effect gameplay at all in the beginning, with more to come soon(tm)?
Boroshi(CSR) says: So of course we also have faction and "PvE" storylines to continue ;)
Ffionnys says: they could do with being made MORE important ... this is good
Jelathnia says: [Will players occupy government positions below civ leader, or including leader?]
Arcueid says: Spires!!
Boroshi(CSR) says: Below to begin with, well see how it goes ;)
Faa says: Kitins I hope, I love crab salad
Moyaku says: kitin lair ?
Boroshi(CSR) says: Its being looked at ;)
Boroshi(CSR) says: Thats the end of stuff regarding our plans, so please keep your questions till the end of the speech :P
Boroshi(CSR) says: Next on the agenda is the lore website
Hekla says: LORE!
Bosse says: Yea
Boroshi(CSR) says: As you know and probably regret, the lore is no longer featured on the main site
Arcueid says: (We would like to see kitin attacks on the outposts. What else where they build for?)
Nysha says: indeed
Ffionnys says: good point Arc
Nysha says: indeed to both, in fact
Kilgoretrout says: Eack op had a different purpose per the signage
Boroshi(CSR) says: At the moment were in the process of building a new lore website which will fulfil the function of the previous "Atys Chronicles" and add an RP forum for each race/faction/etc
Nysha says: would make OPs more interesting, which they need to be.
Ffionnys says: agreed
Boroshi(CSR) says: Id love to be able to give you an ETA on that, but sadly cant :(
Jelathnia says: [Can people volunteer to help with that?]
Ffionnys says: any plans to activate any of the PR OPs?
Boroshi(CSR) says: volunteer to help build it or help run it?
Jelathnia says: [Build]
Drenera says: eta on that boroshi? how about soon!(tm)
Arcueid says: (Will there be a place on forums / elsewhere to add and discuss player suggestions in a sorted form?)
Zxy says: will the old lore be restored or only new stuff?
Boroshi(CSR) says: We havent lost any lore in the process
Boroshi(CSR) says: And there will probably be some new stuff added
Nysha says: good
Boroshi(CSR) says: You may have noticed the "homin greetings" *looks at Jelathnia* in the post made by Yumeroh
Boroshi(CSR) says: There are a number of homin language phrases and words that have already been formulated, and we hope to integrate them some more
Faa says: Will be any sequel to the descent in the depth that the Ranger Guild did long ago?
Nysha says: good!
Boroshi(CSR) says: One of our main hopes is to help *you* be more a part of the storyline, and be able to just "be" on Atys more
Jelathnia says: [That was the Guild of Elias wasn't it Faa?]
Faa says: Have to check Jela, not sure if they were the same Guild
Boroshi(CSR) says: Having said that, we have inherited a number of policies from Jolt and GFF which mean that our ability to support your events is a little curtailed
Hekla says: How so?
Ffionnys says: the banning of CSR's during battles, for instance?
Boroshi(CSR) says: Well, at the moment.... were prohibitied from supprting or participating in Player-run Events
Nysha says: I'm sure SW can manage to revert those policies?
Kilgoretrout says: And aiding in player run events?
Boroshi(CSR) says: that was done some time in the Jolt era after accusations of bias
Hekla says: Wouldn't there be a way to propose events, and have them run by the official team if the planning/content is good enough?
Nysha says: the policy isn't that we wouldn't have CSRs officiating weddings
Boroshi(CSR) says: Wed like to throw that policy away and help you as much as we can, but everyone has to understand that we cant be at every event, and not complain when we dont show up to theirs ;)
Hekla says: Of course, that's a burden on the events team, so...
Kilgoretrout says: Dagger ran event long ago that the event team allowed as long as it didn't interfere with the storyline
Iwishiwasfive says: That needs to be changed...and CSR's should monitor events to ensure fair gameplay!
Sasi says: agreed
Nysha says: agreed
Lobosdiablos says: So is the purpose of this meeting just to tell us you are thinking about progressing Aris sometime?
Boroshi(CSR) says: The purpose is to tell you all what I just said, and also to answer any questions you all might have ;)
Somnus says: we only have promises atm but is all we got from gameforge also
Hekla says: I think we should recognize good will.
Nysha says: give us one date, and we'll be happy
Lobosdiablos says: so nothing is for certain yet?
Sasi says: I'd point out that events are already happening
Bosse says: Dates = letdowns
Ffionnys says: lets not doom them for trying yet Som
Azad says: GF was a waste of space
Lobosdiablos says: This game will die while waiting for something to be done lol
Iwishiwasfive says: it already died!
Somnus says: agrees with lobos
Kilgoretrout says: Som they are doing the best they can
Chizeta says: agrees
Nysha says: only if they give us unreasonable dates, Bosse. even if the date is two months away, it's concrete.
Drenera says: im trying to work out why yumoroh stated that the events team had beek working for weeks on something that doesn't exist yet with a team that doesn't even have a leader on events that have already been delayed past their date
Faa says: This game died so many times and resurected,,, I start to belive they used a Phoenix feather to write the code
Vur says: *sees Iwishiwasfive's point*
Somnus says: the things that was said wont bring back old players and keep new ones here
Boroshi(CSR) says: Yep, events are already happening on Ani and Lea, but we dont have the manpower or the time (people have holidays to go to) to do them on Aris before Christmas
Vrixy says: They have done everything they said they were going to so id say give them the benefit.
Nysha says: how many people does it take to run a simple event?
Nysha says: Marelli ran a halloween event in the Ring, just her
Boroshi(CSR) says: Apha, how many people did you have in the Tryker Event?
Nysha says: Sweetmarie is doing the same for christmas
Rahia says: Both were wonderful!
Kilgoretrout says: But tho it was great only a few ppl could enjoy Marelli's event at a time
Aphanaku(CSR) says: we had about 150 players and 4 people from the event team
Boroshi(CSR) says: and Wiedii, how many on Ani?
Faa says: can we expect some events where Ryzom newcomers can win some of the titles owned now only by oldies?
Wiedii(SEM) says: about 100 players
Wiedii(SEM) says: and we were 5 EG
Lobosdiablos says: Aris hardly has 100 people anymore lol
Kilgoretrout says: How about we cut Boro some slack. He's trying to communicate like we all want
Jelathnia says: [I agree with Kil]
Elemental says: I'm not a progtrammer but isn't there a way to have x happen untill Y happens? it's done frequently in the ring? no staff required
Nysha says: on a note related to Faa's - what's the likelihood of us having events which gove honour points?
Chizeta says: make it -15 from aris population
Vur says: Words mean very little Kil. Actions are what we need.
Boroshi(CSR) says: Ok, since youre all very eager, Ill see if we can draft some people in and get something before Christmas, but no promises :P
Sasi says: huzzah
Grundelwolf says: id like to be able to get karavan stuff .. at the altars
Kilgoretrout says: Asking for it all at once on a F2P game atm is not fair
Bosse says: agree Kil
Rahia says: Not like I don't want to give them my money.
Chizeta says: we are ready to pay, they are the ones who doesnt want money ;)
Boroshi(CSR) says: ok so, now please feel free to spam us with questions :P
Olca says: I really wouldnt want to see a rushed event just because many are too eager though.
Nysha says: Boro, I'd suggest you ask players not part of the event team to help, if you need it. I'm sure there are many who don't have the time to join the team, but would love to help on one event (like me)
Kilgoretrout says: Can't put 100 in the ring. It was tried as an event an was terrible
Jelathnia says: [Nysha has a point]
Rahia says: Agrees with Nysha
Inifuss says: plus ring is not supported to all players
Boroshi(CSR) says: Yeah, the ring isnt a feasible solution for a number of reasons :P
Ryuchan says: Any idea of when an offical communique will be issued by the new game owners intending their direction backed up with 'solid' plans/dates?
Ffionnys says: another question .... maybe not one for this team, but still: What are the Devs' (or whoever) plans for advertising, etc? Where are the new players going to come from to support all this effort?
Boroshi(CSR) says: And this is an event meeting, not a dev meeting, so pls keep questions restrained to stuff I can actually answer ;)
Lsl says: Will there be any dev team meetings?
Ffionnys says: any plans to activate any of the PR OPs and related Lore?
Boroshi(CSR) says: Re: PR OPs - at the moment we dont have anything planned, but we (the Team) can have a chat about it after and then talk to the devs to see if its possible to put it on the todo list)
Gilgameesh says: pr op, is not already in the todo list?
Boroshi(CSR) says: Atm the "todo list" is bug fixing and a couple of other things
Nysha says: so the old to-do list has been dumped?
Vur says: What couple of other things? We'd love to know.
Nysha says: better get sending in tickets for a general channel then
Rahia says: Any plans to finish the Encyclopedia missions?
Boroshi(CSR) says: Bug fixing comes first
Uliaryn says: what bugs?
Sasi says: lol
Boroshi(CSR) says: All the ones that make things crash ;)
Kilgoretrout says: Team compass bug
Uatu says: scroll bug
Vur says: Well...
Iwishiwasfive says: flag bug
Cobralight says: bug: digging-animation goes on while source is gone :P
Hechicera says: map bug?
Vur says: Regarding the marker crash bug... We have Rystore.
Kilgoretrout says: Faction channel bug
Nysha says: well we have the marketing forum and team Ffi - but I haven't seen anything come of it
Jelathnia says: [You want advertising, you plan and enact it in that marketing forum.]
Faa says: can we expect some events where Ryzom newcomers can win some of the titles owned now only by oldies?
Boroshi(CSR) says: Faa: you mean like Kami Champion etc?
Ffionnys says: is there any progress on the marketing fromt? Can you tell us this much?
Faa says: or Tryker Defender, or Kitin slaughterer
Boroshi(CSR) says: Ah right
Kilgoretrout says: Win my titles I spent 4 years getting? No
Uatu says: i'd like some events involving a large number of players
Boroshi(CSR) says: the "Slaughter week" titles I dont doubt theyll show up again
Faa says: or new ones (conceding to Kil)
Racoon says: wayfarer :)
Vur says: That's awfully arrogant/selfish Kil...
Jelathnia says: [For once I kinda agree with Vur]
Nysha says: I hope we never need another Wayfarer :P
Ffionnys says: no I agree with Kil ... new titles for new events
Kilgoretrout says: No but I earned them not from a wheel
Uliaryn says: any plans of fixing the titles we have that dispay
Nysha says: *Wayfarer title
Ffionnys says: I don't want a title I haven't had to earn
Vrixy says: i want my Wayfarer title back !
Ffionnys says: Wayfarer was from the server merge I believe
Bosse says: For the up coming events, how long are they planned to run for? A few days? a week?
Nysha says: they wouldn't be on a wheel, Kil
Boroshi(CSR) says: The Wayfarer title is ofc one of the bugs that are being fixed ;)
Lienchang says: I got a question reqarding the lore site. I've been working on a guide to Zorai, would it be possible to contribute that to the lore site? Or any content there in general.
Nysha says: Lien, put it in the Saga forum
Zianno says: Will events be held on a sort of 'sliding timescale' to allow people to participate that can't get online when the actual events are held ?
Boroshi(CSR) says: Zianno: in the past, we used to do what events we could "twice" (one for EE and once for NA) and then try to time the major parts so that as many people as possible could show up (ie on a weekend)
Iwishiwasfive says: is there a section on the forum where suggestions and upcoming events can be posted?
Boroshi(CSR) says: Iwish: If you have an idea for an event, either post it in one of the Saga forums, or send us a msg about it :)
Bosse says: Will there be sufficent notice when these events will occur so we can plan to be here?
Boroshi(CSR) says: Bosse : you should usually get at leoast a weeks notice for major events, but sometimes we might do one without any notice to catch you off guard ;)
Lobosdiablos says: the element of surprise is great though
Vur says: It attaches you to it more then. :P
Zxy says: what about people in different time zones? will surprise events happen at "UK evenings"?
Jelathnia says: [With Kitin events you can say the Order of the Rangers of Atys has been observing kitin movements and predicts that they'll be attacking X location at approximately Y time.]
Uatu says: some random events would be nice at least
Nysha says: Zxy, he said they'd try to organise times such as weekends which are good for everyone
Vur says: Yhea, I'd like random events. :P
Marelli says: [And then ofcourse the kitin will arive half an hour earlier becaus it was only a rough estimate ;)]
Kilgoretrout says: Random makes you log in to make sure your world is safe
Jelathnia says: [Indeed :D]
Faa says: will there be any trekking events? Like ambushes in the Prime roots, caravans transporting goods etc?
Boroshi(CSR) says: Faas question about trekking/ambush/caravan-escort events : Yep, we have those in mind, sure
Inifuss says: Will player run events be "censored" as they have been in the past?
Boroshi(CSR) says: Thats one of the things we would like to know from yo uguys - do you have any problem with some event characters just "being around" and "living on Atys" sometimes without anything major necessarily happening?
Faa says: Kilgore told me when he was a newbie there were seminar for crafting skills and other knowledge of skills for the newbies hold as events. Don't you think these could still be useful for the new players?
Sasi says: OK with me, Boro
Ffionnys says: No Boro, I would welcome that
Jelathnia says: [I'd like to see that Boroshi]
Inifuss says: That would be great.
Kilgoretrout says: I think that's fine Boro
Jelathnia says: [Players can run that kind of event Faa]
Hekla says: I think that would be good, actually. Be part of Atys life.
Nysha says: Faa - a crafting fair was plannned by players a while ago, but it never got off the ground I think
Faa says: Yes but advertising and prestige is given by a CSR organised and controlled event
Hekla says: There's a crafting fair on Aniro, seems to work quite well.
Marelli says: MMhmm, what Nysha said, it's not easy to organise something of that magnitude.
Faa says: Same, Nysha, if the fair was a CSR event everybody would have rushed to bring his craft and advertise, sell, RP etc
Nysha says: true Faa
Ffionnys says: good point Faa - many ppl don't take much notice of player-run events unless there's fighting involved
Boroshi(CSR) says: On a related note.... there are sometimes some aspects of what the players do.. such as self-organised festivals, or even the background for some RP Guilds... that we would like to play off from
Boroshi(CSR) says: On Aniro for example, it would be no problem for an event toon to just show up and start interacting, but here.. the old policies make it difficult
Nysha says: Good.
Marelli says: But Faa raises a very good point, be nice if the restrictions were lifted so CSRs coul support player event again.
Ffionnys says: thas good also - gives player run events more long term meaning
Nysha says: so retract the old policies
Hekla says: Old policies are strange...
Boroshi(CSR) says: We would very much like to start integrating more into how you live on Atys
Marelli says: An sounds great, Boro :D
Kilgoretrout says: Yep
Boroshi(CSR) says: So it sounds already like most of you would like us to throw that policy away
Ffionnys says: /signed
Kilgoretrout says: Dump it
Sasi says: yep
Nysha says: indeed
Inifuss says: agreed
Moyaku says: agreed
Bosse says: dump it is right
Elements says: agreed
Vur says: /signed
Ricke says: where we sign?
Faa says: MMO RPGs are about living in a different world, for being the main hero, there's plenty of MMOs out there
Vrixy says: Nods
Kilgoretrout says: And the peeps that caused it :P
Uatu says: we need a change
Boroshi(CSR) says: Sounds good to me too :)
Vur says: I want to knock whoever made those policies senseless. :\
Kilgoretrout says: We need the living world back. The one where we effect the outcome
Vixien says: i'd vote to dump them
Nysha says: stupid that it was extended beyond OPs in the first place
Jelathnia says: [There are always conspiracy theorists crying favouritism about something or other, in every game/community, causing policies like that to be established.]
Faa says: Is a policy a rule or a hard coded thing?
Boroshi(CSR) says: Faa: an old rule
Faa says: A rule can be changed anytime, a hard coded thing would need devs attention
Boroshi(CSR) says: Nysha: it was way before the OPs one, but same theory
Ffionnys says: start a poll?
Inifuss says: Boroshi, how many openings are being filled for the event team?
Boroshi(CSR) says: Its not a limited size
Faa says: In what ways can the player base be most useful for the current event team?
Boroshi(CSR) says: Faa: join up :P Turn up to events :P etc etc
Rahia says: Will tribes go into play during some events or am I just being hopeful?
Uliaryn says: that has been said for 4 years
Jelathnia says: [TRIBES \o/ ]
Ffionnys says: good Q Rah
Rahia says: I have them sometimes :P
Nysha says: yes, tribes!
Ffionnys says: tribes, ought to be inclided in the Civ makeover, imo
Nysha says: let's see tribe fame mean more than "who can I drag on"
Uatu says: tribes should attack more
Boroshi(CSR) says: The events planned for "soon" involve tribes, but obviously as I said before... changing mechanics has to wait a little while
Boroshi(CSR) says: So its a case of event-characters playing tribesmen
Rahia says: They should, I agree there Ffio. Since our fame is sometimes derived from which civ we choose to align with.
Ffionnys says: for which you need volunteers, presumably?
Ffionnys says: that's not quite what I meant Rah
Boroshi(CSR) says: Indeed Ffio
Elemental says: then again there are those of us that do not align with a race but do with a faction
Rahia says: eh I just like having fame with tribes. The ancient Dryads tease me though.
Elemental says: also alot that do not RP
Ffionnys says: I meant that with more importance being atatched to civ alignemt , it would be nice for tribal alignmetn to have more meaning in our lives here
Ffionnys says: Elem, even without civ alignment, you still have fame with each civ
Uatu says: a 3rd faction would be cool too
Vur says: Racoon*
Rahia says: Would be nice for them to be something other than a safe haven to run when Zatchel is biting us.
Jelathnia says: [And some that aren't aligned with faction or race]
Sasi says: *nods at Ffi*
Zeyphir says: 3rd Faction? .. Neutrals ?
Nysha says: I'd prefer to see more events between the current ones Uatu
Kilgoretrout says: Trytonists
Moyaku says: I d go Trytonist
Faa says: Most people not aligned with a civilisation (not race, race is only how we look) usually come to the game after the civilisations lost all their meaning for different reasons
Uatu says: yes.. but a 3rd faction that could either fight the others or make alliances... :P
Elemental says: I guess there is a mechanics issue with a 3rd faction and 5the race
Vur says: They're supposedly at war but nothing is happening...
Nysha says: aside from OPs
Hekla says: That's game mechanics, yes.
Ffionnys says: neutral is not a factoin, its a rejection of existing ones
Jelathnia says: [Agreeing with Ffi]
Jelathnia says: [But Trytonism -is- a faction, just one that has been neglected for a long time]
Aphanaku(CSR) says: the Guild of Elias and Tryton are in the PR
Rahia says: I came in after everything had lost all meaning here so I'd like more meaning in the world we live on/in whatever,
Marelli says: [Boro, can you give us an idea of what the eventt team can do without needing the devs? I think it'd help us make better suggestions.]
Boroshi(CSR) says: Anything that doesnt require mechanics to change ;)
Nysha says: a good start might be an event to "revive" the lore - I barely know it and I love what I know, I can imagine a huge number of players are clueless
Nysha says: a storytelling event or somesuch
Moyaku says: something to get honor points again so I can buy another kara pick
Faa says: We have at least 2-3 good storytellers in the player base
Nysha says: indeed Faa, it wouldn't be hard for the event team to enlist their help
Rahia says: The things that came before us, young'uns came in are good to know but I wouldn't want a repeat event.
Boroshi(CSR) says: Im not sure about honour points... Ill have to look into it *adds to his list*
Nysha says: indeed Rahi, which is why I'm thinking storytelling or somesuch
Rahia says: I'd would be nice for the older 3+ year players to relate the happenings before our time.
Rahia says: I most readily agree with that Nysha.
Kacey says: you could grant some titles monthly to the best digger, crafter, fighter, aso
Kilgoretrout says: Kitin invasion would be fine for me as a repeat. Kitin are still a threat
Vrixy says: On Sundays in Zora there used to be RP for that Nysha ..
Aphanaku(CSR) says: the temple event was a game mechanic thing so something similiar would require work from the devs
Ffionnys says: I agree with Rah and Nysha here - I been here 3 years and I don't feel like anything story wise has changed outside of Tryker
Iwishiwasfive says: how many actual Dev's are there?
Sasi says: forward with the story, very important
Boroshi(CSR) says: not something I know or can answer
Vur says: For one thing, we need to know what we can have once the devs return...
Nysha says: that's not a good sign regarding communication between devs and CSRs, is it
Iwishiwasfive says: nope
Rahia says: well communication hasn't been great in uhm 4 months or more.
Kilgoretrout says: I think continuing some of the events that are up in the air would be nice
Marelli says: Okay then, hypothically speaking, does the event team have to power to say, spawn the population of Underwood Woe on Dyron?
Boroshi(CSR) says: The number of devs isnt something I need to know ;) I didnt know under GFF either, and Im willing to bet no one except Souls knew under Jolt
Nysha says: saying that it was the same under GF gives no-one confidence
Inifuss says: and if atys will move to the next chapter, eventually
Nysha says: 'cause they just did such a dandy job
Boroshi(CSR) says: Hence I said under Jolt too :P
Ffionnys says: I don't see any significance in that - the devs are in an office somewhere, CSR's are sitting at home
Vur says: But under Jolt, Souls may have known.
Sasi says: I don't care how many devs - so long as they are busy ;)
Ffionnys says: (or at least I assume so)
Boroshi(CSR) says: Im not paid, souls was :P
Boroshi(CSR) says: but now were getting offtopic
Zeyphir says: is there a timeline of stories you want to tell with the events .. is the Future planned?
Rahia says: We just want the storyline to continue... We've been in Stasis for far too long.
Vur says: If we are to truly rebuild Atys...
Uatu says: so can we expect more frequent events?
Boroshi(CSR) says: Zeyphir: We have a broad outline yeah
Ffionnys says: can we see it?
Boroshi(CSR) says: No :p
Hekla says: Good to hear about the timeline.
Kilgoretrout says: I guess events like the goo infested creatures and roaming Maurauders are coded events?
Boroshi(CSR) says: correct Kgt
Vur says: You should have gathered us when you had something to present, in my opinion.
Iwishiwasfive says: were these events that were coded scrapped afterwards? or can they be reused?
Boroshi(CSR) says: But, theres no reason we cant (in the future) have a number of Event Characters playing Marauders... wont be as large number obviously, but its a start
Hekla says: Oh, even those? Restricts how much can be done, doesn't it?
Ffionnys says: again I guess that depends on volunteers
Boroshi(CSR) says: Iwish: I dont know tbh. Again, bug-fixing comes first for the devs, as it shold
Hekla says: Yes, impersonating can circumvent the issue.
Boroshi(CSR) says: Well suffice to say, event characters can be made to be more than a match for homins one-on-one... it offsets the outnumbering
Marelli says: Ah, so if you had a dozen volunteers, you could have a dozen Marauders.... (but then would there be any players left to fight them? :P)
Kilgoretrout says: Yep I've seen csrs powers
Elemental says: thank you for the info but I think as you have picked up there are many skeptics here
Rahia says: Mostly because everything have been soon! erm soon(tm)
Kilgoretrout says: I think this has been informative as to waht we can expect
Hekla says: This was a meeting to discuss events and how best to organize them, not a Q and A on developers, however eager we'd like to have that meeting asap.
Ffionnys says: I think the soon(tm) is necessary in the absence of paying customers, Rah
Iwishiwasfive says: my appoligies for being skeptical...I just have high hopes and deep desire to see the game progress.
Rahia says: Said it before and I'll say it again :P
Boroshi(CSR) says: We all do, Iwish
Nysha says: it is useful to have a meeting like this - even if it only goes a very little way
