Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

You know, all those small things that could make your life easier with a bit of fine-tuning. Like being able to put more landmarks on the map, for example. We are trying to get an exhaustive list of these /small/ improvements, to pick up a few of them to include in our development schedule. This thread has thus been opened to let you post your own items. Two important warnings though!

<Lawyer Mode ON>

1) Only a few, if any, of the suggested items will be developed - we make no promise of any kind to integrate your suggestions!

2) We only seek *small* modifications, like being able to use more caracters and spaces for the landmarks, having emotes corresponding to the character's gender, the fact that when we cast a spell the camera doesn't automatically center behind the character anymore..,... Things that already exist in game and that wouldn't ask a tremendous time to be improved. So, please understand we are not talking about skills rebalancing, new features or rites here.

</Lawyer Mode OFF>

Now let's start sharing here our little frustrations on the daily Atysian life. ;)

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

The target reticle should go away when SHIFT+F5 is pressed.

Long menus, such as the emote menus and the landmarks menu on the compass, should be limited in height and scrollable. So you don't end up with a menu so long it goes off screen, leaving part of it inaccessible.

The ability to rearrange contact list manually. So for example, you could arrange people you want to quickly see the status of at the top, members of a certain guild together, etc.

The Matis 1h sword currently has no light trail. Makes hitting with one...unrewarding. XD

Thanks for this opportunity. :) Small annoyances and disfuctions, especially relating to the user interface, can sometimes be the worst.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

I would like to see the following:

1) gender specific emotes
2) able to invert filters in shopping/inventory windows using alt/ctrl/shift as modifier
3) the use of "&"-character in the chat
4) some kind of alert when specific player comes online

At least these should be small things to fix ;)

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Seconded, but I'd ask that *all* windows be resizeable as well :D

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Yes please!!!!
And add the ability to put offline players on your Friends list.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

My thoughts, in no particular order

* limited number of landmarks, and limited edit capabilities. Lack of colors for better visibility.

* risk of data loss wrt local files.

* not being able to activate an action with the craft window open (e.g. self focus) due to the modal dialog.

* unsorted inventories at login

* tell windows taking the focus away. You are typing in around, and suddenly all your interface is messed up because you got a tell.

* limited number of hand bars.

* timer for auras/power ups a bit too high.

* faction channel bug (can't type in it)

* faction channel not appearing in user tab.

* offline players can't be added from freinds list. Remove works but you still get a message.

* special mention to some bugs :)
- wrong info message, kick of team
- speed on daggers

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

1) Shield' s constitution or level requirment: the shieldcraft trade has become absolete due to the lack of it (unless you' re a master only, and even then ...)
2) Statistics and modifiers on 1 handed weapons, including daggers
3) Speed on daggers
4) Gender specific emotes

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

And randomly losing focus. Yesterday I had a lot of trouble with that - I would be typing in any chat window/tell, nothing unusual happening, and suddenly the chat window would lose focus and I'd be messing up my interface.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

-A couple of swim dock entrances on the west side of Fairhaven.

-A second gate in Yrkanis farther south.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Ohno, don't remove the almost foolproof alt-detector (tm) ;)

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

That's when someone who you had been in a tell with logs off. Think of it in the same way as when you have their tell window open and they log off, that window disappears... If you already "hid" the window, it still "closes" and so you lose focus ;)

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

*cough*use keyboard*cough*

@nevrax:
put apartement and guild inventory tabs to inventory window for average Joe ;)

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Aside from the second gate that's already there down the west side, south of the respawn/tp?

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Oh, Oh, .... and let us craft from apartment inventory!

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Ability to create temporary chat channels for use during multi-team outings. Make it generic enough that it can work for outpost battles as well as multi team hunting or trekking.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

What i would like done
~the ability to resize the guild roster window,
~a computer like icon that can show guild mates being online on the guild roster
~ the fix of the following bug (when u want to promote people inside the guild you hav to set them back to member and then to the rank you want)

Mainly guild problems lol

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

When I put my compass in "target" mode it should stay in target mode until I change it, not changing back to North when my target dies or when my target goes out of targetable range.

I use the "user window" for chatting (I am known as the MT King to some) I think this applies to all chat windows though. Editing an action, placing/editing a map marker, closing a tell window, and various other items, actually reset the last used chat window setting. Thus when you press "Enter" to start chatting, the chat window(the main tabbed window that is) opens and you are stuck in there. Until you go back and close that window, click in the chat window you want as your default, and hit enter to record it as your last used chat window.

EDIT: Put requirements back on shields.

EDIT2:
Compass resizeable so those long map marker targets can be read, and other reasons.

Filters(Class of Mat, Q of item, and Grade of item) for GH and Apartment Inventory.


-- Edit room reserved here --

Noin.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

I like the idea of being notified (as an option perhaps, either per-entry or global under the config options) when somebody on your friends list goes online/offline. Also, I have guild chat as a seperate tab and keep losing it when I log, is there any way to fix that?

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

How about a one time amnesty for folks that might have been banned in the past for non-gameplay offenses ? This may bring the bad back in with the good, but establishes the line has been drawn and they should stay within it.

I have no dog in the race and won't be thrilled having some folks back. I just think that was handled very very poorly, especially the folks ganked within the first 72 hours or so of this edict...

Point was and has been made, there is no downside doing this for the community...

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

On a similar note, I don't have a problem with what you state, but why cannot the source content bar be realative to the maxmimum of 30. For example, If I pop a source with content of 10, the blue content bar would only be 1/3 of the way across the window. A source of 15 would be halfway, etc.

Seems this would be VERY easy to fix.


Noin.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Related to chat channels, it would be very nice for guilds to be able to have two channels: Guild-IC and Guild-OOC. That way it would be easy for RP guilds to seperate in-character and out-of-character chat.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Number and Editablity of landmarks
Sheilds should be a proper tree with level req
Wandering herdsman to tidy up abandoned mounts

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

That would be cool...maybe the herdsmen find lost mounts and put them in a pen somewhere where owners of lost mounts can go and retreive theirs?

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

... for a fee :).
And not just mounts. These herdmen need to rescue all those abandonned packers that are drowning in waterholes and take them back to a nice safe pen too :D.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

deep breath...

GUI
tells not stealing focus
inventories sorting correctly
SHIFT+F5 not having target box

teams
team window pops up when u form a team
team map bug fixed (not sure if that counts as a small thing to fix)
ability to assign new leader to team, or maybe a team HO :)

merchants
check box to craft and auto sell to npc when crafting (grinding)
quantity filter (search for stacks of 20/50/100+ as well as price

guild
allowing access for anyone leader/ho thinks isnt going to run off with all the supreme zun
crafting from guild (and apartment)
bring back duels in guild hall - we used to have great boxing matches before guild meetings!
guild MOTD
guild window shows who is on/offline

misc
correct gender for emotes/team invites etc
auto buy option for tp tickets after transport

chat
outpost chat channels
multi guild channels (short of offical alliance mechanism)
multi team channels (just for chat not xp etc)
ability to tab multiple tells into one window
something for the islands - its tricky because calls for res wont work but i find most newbies dont do that anyway. so either all island global chat or linking island to mainland starter region would be a start.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Yeah, I'd really like that and I'm normally only pulling 17 per source atm. Maybe just displaying the number on top of the blue bar would work just as well, rather than having to 'mouse over'

I'd also like more landmarks (although I don't mind if this is a rite, as I've already done one of those).

Ability to colour the landmarks. (I would like one colour for mats, one for bandits, one for bosses etc.)

Make it possible to switch off the extended source time rite (Trykers and lake materials, given by Ba'nakry Baxy)

Allow me to sell several identical items to the NPC vendors at one. (For example 5 rings with one click, rather than 5 separate clicks plus selecting each ring)

Allow an auto-buy option when I use a teleport ticket. It is a long walk from Sawdust mines to Thesos in focus gear ;)

Sorting of contact list, so at least I can move guildmates to one spot, etc.

Outpost chat for during battles.

Correct gender for invites / exchange etc.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

YES! /tar rushin /agree /agree

I've probably posted enough in this thread. :p But a guild MOTD sounds soo useful. Preferably settable by leader and high officers. And online/offline indication in guild window would of course be good.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Most bugging thing for me is that Ryzom although nice game does not support soloing too much. My playing times are usually very limited (job, studies, kids, etc...) so I doesn't always have 1 or 2 hours to spend searching suitable team. And sometimes I just feel like not wanting team with anyone (bad day ;) Self heals, staminas and saps are a bit like jokes to me. Downtime is waaaaaay too long. And if u use one self things the others are locked by the downtime too. Lower the downtime more so the soloing is more enjoyable (now it's a bit annoying) and make the downtime for each self heal, sap and stamina things separate.

It was mentioned before that logging in and out should be noted at guild channel. Is there possibility to check who's online at the guild except by asking? What about afk messages? Can u set up afk messages?

I have a thing called photo memory. I remember things better from the visual look of things (I really suck with names etc...) Could there be made ability that each time someone is saying something (f.e. in the guild channel) a small icon of his/her face could be seen beside the name? Would make much comfortable to follow conversations if you wouldn't have to consentrate so much noting who actually said this.

I just can't see the reason why current xp isn't shown clearly numerically. It's shown with a line anyway. Also I would like to see clearly xp needed for next level and so on...

I haven't happened to see if there's an option to choose closest aggressive target with some shortcut key.

Camera has too little zoom ability. I don't have fancy 5.1 surround sounds which could alert me out of closing Gingo danger from behind (did I mention, I hate gingos). Usually I note that something bad is happening when the Gingo has my left arm at its mouth. Or if u ask me, I would rather wipe out all the Gingos from history and plans of Ryzom...

How many times I'm in middle of a fight with an good exp enemy. Before the last killing blow my screen suddenly fills with lights from several spells. Yes the guards messed things once again. This wouldn't be that much problem if I really got the xp out of it. I was the one who made the miserable monster suffer almost to the end and then comes "helping guards" taking my xp away. "I'm just doing my job." Yeah right, just wher u shouldn't be doing it. So grant the xp to one who has got most hps out of monster. Same thing should consider about looting.

Talking about looting, is there any system for team members to be granted looting rights in some particular order?

Here's the thing that I can name now. I may add something more in a future.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

* being able to set /afk and still know who has tried to contact you while afk

* being able to block tells as if in /afk without being afk

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

-Being able to be sitting WHILE you're afk. Some of us dislike the dead-puppet position :p

- Don't close tells from people who are logging off. Would be nice to leave messages and know people will get them after you've logged.

- Have the "Youve got mail" indicator work all the time, not just for mails you get while logged in. If there's something you haven't read, put up the indicator!

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Hello all,

-- More bulks space....
for everything really and that doesnt really affect the balance. Right now it is just an incovenience, more for certain than others. i might be a special case but i like to carry my necessary equipement with me wherever i go( that would include weapons,guns,ammos,picks,armors). Normally i have my mount with me, but i cant bring it every i go all the time. That might be too much, but there should be more of a balance, as right now the packers and mount do not really function as they are supposed to. I am supposed to bring packers anywhere with me to help in my tasks. Right now, the time involved in moving around the packers is too much. TPing myself just doesnt cut it for me, and also with the new fame system, some people dont have access to certain places.

-- On that note, make the mektoubs tpable.

*Even these will not reduce the amount of inventory managing that has to be done.

-- Ideally Drag & Drop capability ( but that might not be a small task) along with being able to multi-select items.

-- On AoE type, if there could be some kind of highlighting that shows what is going to be affected that could be really useful.

-- Allow for a macro shortcut to be able to follow a target.


Shunafyr

P.S: It was worth a try...

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

More hands bars - I've run out of space on all 10 of mine. Means I have to delete an old action every time I want to create a new one.

Guild List - I'm sure it can't be that hard to have it organize itself in some sort of fashion that meets common sense. Reverse alphabetical with a handful of random people thrown in here and there isn't helpful. Also the addition of the little friends list blue computer to the guild list would be a massive help.

Friends List - We have the computers to show when someones online. Could we have an additional symbol or something next to it to show when a person is AFK. Its a pain to type a giant tell to someone and then have it not get to the person since they're AFK.

NPC Bosses - As anyone whos attempted to kill Aen in the past couple months knows, shes had a major upgrade to both bodyguard staff and the fact shes unwilling to leave the comfort of her campfire. I'd like to see the return of the other 3, or at least bring back Lixie. I hear LoA killed her and she never came back. If they all got a massive upgrade like Aen/Lixie did, the challenge to kill them would still be there and there would be more options that the occaisonal attempt at killing Aen. It gets old getting DP in the same situation. I'd be more willing to try on a couple different bosses instead of the same ole "wow, that was a quick wipe"

Bosses/named - Make them harder. Yes, harder. There are level 260 named mobs that can be duo'd (or even solo'd if you have some time). Bosses can be trio'd still, even with the heal nerf. I'd love to see the higher level bosses (220+) get the same kind of boost Aen got. Beef up the guards, make the boss have more HP and do more damage. They are, after all, the strongest of their kind... so 4-5 homins should have A LOT of trouble taking them down.

Tryker Rite "Reward" - Zok beat me to it on this one, but please please please give us a way to turn this on/off. Just make it so we get an additional time brick to choose from or something. Its not much of a reward having my xp slowed down and not getting any additional mats from the source when diggin q250 (however, I can pull a full 29 from a source, Saranda :p Don't believe 30 is possible since every time I try it gets stuck at 29.8 or something)

Crafting/Grinding/selling - While I would love a 'craft all' button, I don't think its going to happen. However, I think the selling part of grind stuff could be sped up a bit. Drag and drop in the merchants window or the ability to select multiple items would make emptying a bag of grind crafts much easier. as it is right now its click on item, wait for sell box to pop up, sell to npc, repeat. Takes forever and those who attempt to do it quickly often end up selling their amps.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

or, if that's too much work, add an additional parameter to the /who command:

/who guild

would show who's online within the guild. But the GUI option is better. :)

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

The one thing that really bugs me is the interrupting tells and how it screws up my interface. It would be nice to have all tells in one window, like the current user chat windows. Where instead of General, Area, Guild, and User; it would be the names of the contacts that are sending tells giving us the ability to go back and forth between chats. This will limit the constant tell pop-ups and would leave lots of room on my screen to continue what ever it is that I’m doing.

It would also be nice to have the contact list to be more flexible. I’d like to be able to create contact groups, like buddies, guilders, rp’ers, crafters, etc…

The email system could use some work. Consider that players should be able to send items trough emails to other players, it would help crafters and those players that have alternative PC’s transfer and exchange items. You could make it so that a small fee (dappers) are charge for each sent item.

And what bugs me the most in this game is the fact that we cannot fight from a mount. I think we should be able to use 1-hand weapons and shields while on a mount. I know that they are for traveling, but what good is to travel on them if they are so easily attack. At least let us be able to self heal and use auras while riding them. Granted magic should not be easily use from a mount, but I would rather see a sword on my right hand, than to see it just sit on my side. Maybe you can twist the code a bit to not just grant movement on a mount but give it some defensive actions, like the ones they use when we hunt them.

I hope I didn’t sound like I was bitching, only suggesting what I would like to see improve in the game.;)

Thank you,

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Yeah and make the bulk lines on apartment and guild hall windows match the numbers. Was most annoyed when I tried to fill up apartment to find that there was no space left with line only at about half. Easiest way would be to increase capacity, rather than changing line algorithm ;)

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

* Rotate on UI windows like:
Main Menu (icon mode)

* NEW /TELL SYSTEM!!!!
-Multi layering/Tabs... something? @_@
-Deffo the multi-convoness: Chat invite button? Team invite button?
(Not having to be right next to each other to chat/invite)
-Less bulk on windows/no borders or at least very small ones.

* Why limit? (so much at least)
If we can afford to buy more packers, mounts, apts/upgrades then why not let us?

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

*adding groups to to contact list and being able to sort the list (maybe alphabeticly

*drag&drop actions between the action bars (just the ability to see all actionbars at once would be needed to do that :D)

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

omg, looks like nobody posted this one yet:
- Custom emotes... (like "/emote is very happy and jumps around while ignoring everyone else")

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Another bit of info that would be useful on the guild list, is date/time last logged in. Also, the ability to sort on Name, Login Status and Last Login columns.

/Agree with everything else Morg says here.


Could we also add a person's guild to the friend's list? And, the ability to re-arrange the list or the ability to sort it by name, login status.

/Agree with the afk status request. Maybe the blue light could be another color when someone is online, but afk.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

You can create a macro to chat in around /follow and that will set you to follow your current target. Assign a key, or drag to your hands bar.

Done. (bet you can do it in the keys window too by creating a new key. )

Noin.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Oh! My last post in this thread, I promise. XD

Loading time/character switching:
Either reduce the amount of time it takes to log in (like cutting out the several-seconds-long Nevrax splash screen at the beginning...we already know who made Ryzom :p ), or make it easier to switch between characters without having to exit the game, start it up again, etc.

Right now, logging in/out/relogging just takes way too long. I linkdie after teleporting often, and every time that happens I have to relog completely. During that time I can go and eat dinner or something...

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

I hear ya, but I think we sometimes need something like this to happen. :D
I do keep forgetting to do those things like eat, sleep etc...

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Couple of harvesting messages annoyances:

Make "not in this weather" clearer. Sometimes mats seem to exist in fair weather one Atys day, and not on another. Some mats pop halfway through a weather cycle, i.e before it has changed.

Make "not at the moment" clearer. I know night is 2200-0200 but why did I have to figure it out?

When a source is empty in the PR, don't give the message "no raw materials were detected in this area". If you're right on top of it then you get the correct message "...used to be present...", but if that empty source is inside your forage arc then it should give the same one.

Sort out the rounding error on source content - if it says it has 12 mats then I should be able to get 12, not 11.7 :p

Tell us how much time is left before an aura can be used again, e.g. when we click it "you must wait 9m30s".

Let us hide the 'user' tab, I never use it.

Plus everything mentioned before, but mainly the gender problems for emotes/teams/exchanges.

Thanks.

Fame titles! :)

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

(kinda offtopic, but worth mentioning in this thread) it happens to me quite often too. Apparently, Ryzom sync code seems pretty sensible to ping increase, network latency and jitter. Once you have read the technical faq, allowed ports, disabled antivirus, configured firewalls, upgraded your comp to the latest supreme hardware you can get and done anything that comes to mind and this just happens randomly, you'll notice:

- for "unsuccesful" loadings, the dreaded "the client fills some of the loading squares but stalls there, even at the last square (to the point that you need to kill ryzom-client-rd.exe and start again), your client log will look like this
2006/01/15 16:09:45 INF d00 client_ryzom_rd.exe network_connection.cpp 2238 : CNET[013926C8]: sent ACK_PROBE (1 probes)
2006/01/15 16:09:45 DBG d00 client_ryzom_rd.exe net_manager.cpp 3098 : CNetManager::update : Probe Received.
2006/01/15 16:09:45 INF d00 client_ryzom_rd.exe network_connection.cpp 2238 : CNET[013926C8]: sent ACK_PROBE (1 probes)
....
and it can go on like this for dozens of lines. You'll also notice in the task manager that the memory used by the process is lower that the average usual.

A succesful load will show the following lines after the probes.

2006/01/15 16:09:46 WRN d00 client_ryzom_rd.exe network_connection.cpp 2271 : CNET[013926C8]: probe->synchronize
2006/01/15 16:09:46 INF d00 client_ryzom_rd.exe network_connection.cpp 1169 : CNET[013926C8]: received SYNC 413648784 7531822602 - _CurrentReceivedNumber=453 _CurrentServerTick=413649690


For stalls and link downs after teleporting, something worth trying (avoids usual relog most of times) is changing between the windowed mode and full screen mode (just unclick the check box and click it again). It seems that the client resyncs after a config change - may happen as well with far clip settings, I found the former solution more reliable). I used to be forced to relog , this has came handy.

Sorry for the offtopic.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Auto /afk. If you are inactive for 30 minutes, it puts you afk.

Noin.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

I would be so happy if the following 3 things got done. :)

-Player online status in guild window.
-Emotes with correct character gender.
-Fix team map and compass bug.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

I agree with all of your ideas, just want to point that you can in fact activate self heals and auras while crafting (Or at least there is a workaround).

Not sure about other things since I don't usually pay attention to my surroundings while crafting. It is true that you can't use the mouse to do so, but you can use the keyboard just fine.

Re: Forums: What Bugs You The Most? (by Xavier Antoviaque)
 

Yes! Please let us do so!
