Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

My fellow Trykers and citizens of Aeden Aqueous, now is the time to come together and work as a united front to construct the surveillance camps as directed by the Lady Ailan. The Trykers United For the Federation (TUFF) will be organizing material gathering and delivery expiditions to maximize the efficiency of our efforts. TRyker United DiG/DeliverinG Expiditions (TRUDGE) should be held whenever possible. Any volunteers are welcome to lead others to the material sources and cooperative harvesting will maximize results. You can help by foraging, CPing, popping nodes, trekking, and keeping an eye out for dangerous creatures or hostiles.

I personally will be leading groups each day at approximatly 2330 GMT and we will plan to harvest for 2 hours and then begin a delivery run. I welcome others to help lead and if we have sufficient force, we can send groups to gather materials for all 6 encampments, which maximizes the delivery runs.

This task set before us is not a simple task and coming together in a united front can only help our cause to build the 6 encampments.

For New Trykoth! For the People! Tryka! Meer! Sella!

Not if the fyros beat you Ini, we also have matis slave girls to help us :p

*eats all the cookies Ini has in her bag* :D

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

All the people of Atys benefit from ALL of the towers being complete. This is not a contest between the civilizations in my eyes :) Once our camps are complete I am sure we will help the other civilizations. I trust that our leaders are in negotiations on that front now.

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

I wondered how long before someone would organize our efforts! I applaud you! I will be there, to help where I can.

Any of you guys get the "reward" yet ? Waving pick ?

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

yep, got it monday, 125hp, 250 focus.

nice souvenir, but thats abut it.

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

It was when Marile suggested Ryuchan and I go through Bounty Beaches and Fount, rather than swim all the way back to Dew Drops from Winds of Muse, that we got the idea to draw a map of the delivery route for all trykers' benefit. The map ended up sketchy, as I wasn't used to drawing, had trouble holding the silly Yber feathers, and perhaps had had a little too much tea that day, but it was considered helpful and made me not a little proud. I killed a few more Ybers (these feathers are really annoying, couldn't somemin invent something else to write with?!) and did many copies for the benefit of all Trykerhood.

I put the map on a public billboard by the bar, and a general assessment of the situation is being passed around as a cobwebby parchment.

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

I have reduced my time for the run to right at 1.5 hours IF I don't get ganked by 3 named mobs at the same time like I did last night. Fijoo, Slucer and Death Cute ate my mount and left me in a coma. Luckily I did recover my package and purchse a new mount in Avendale and complete my mission.

The TRUDGE teams are very effective when we have enough homins. If available, please join us.

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

Ouch....I'm down to about 26 minutes including return trip to starting camp.

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

I'll get my second burning one tonite .... wanna trade when you get yours :)

Tho I am really aching for an electric one ...."dual wield" of course !

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

Well, you are in the easy-peasy Fyros region - easy to navigate terrain and mobs - the other three regions have some really bad aggro areas that cannot be avoided. :-P

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

tryker is 1.5hour(ish), matis is about 40min, fyros is yeah 20min tops ;-)

A small memorabilia for the TRUDGE expedition of yesterday night. Notice how the three ´guardian angels´ stands protectively in front of their more ´deathprone´ fellow travellers :)

Fairhaven tourist office really should advertise these roundtrips of the lakelands some more!

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

TRUDE team was great fun last evening, very challenging, but fun. Today and tonight we will take the longer, safer route. This was my first run with spring, sorry for all the troubles last night. I promise it will be better :-)

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

Nice Picture :)

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

Terrain is easier w/o all the damn water but the 8 hour retake time is an equalizer. Not like we can go three times while you're doing the 1.5 hour swim thing.

As for the aggro, I gonna beg to differ on that one....Scorched Corridor is not exactly aggro free,and what Nymton, Pakuh and Pochoa don't count ?

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

I can't seem to beat 26 minutes including full round trip back to start camp. Could be done faster except, always have to shake aggro at stops 2 and 5...3, 4 and 6 only occasionally have tail.

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

Did you notice getting less boost on the completion % boost when you deliver in teams ? Twice I noticed two of us together only got 0.59% increase when I always get 0.42% when delivering alone. Last nite 4 of us arrived together with a load, and we only got a 0.42% increase (waited 10 minutes and % didn't change) after all 4 of us delivered. I am wondering if ya need to wait for web update before you drop consecutive loads.

Now I noticed....that when ya pass 80% ... the completion % dropped to 0.14% instead of 0.42%. Only duplicated it twice but one of those was a 0.42 while under 80% and when that put it over the 80 mark, next one only went up 0.14.

BTW, you can d/l a calculator from bunnynet if you want to track the progress yourself. It's based upon the 0.42% completion % boost per delivery which now may have to be changed if it's 0.14.

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

Yeah, there is a threshold around 50% completion that the deliveries decrease to 15 (.21%) items instead of 30 (.42%). The next is around 65% (has not been verified) and drops to 10 (.135%) items. We are thinking that perhaps it will drop to 5 items, but not sure. We have tried to adjust our material calculations appropriately.

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

I was getting 0.42% per drop right up to the 80% mark.....As I started last nite's rounds, 3 towers were below 80% and 3 above. I got 0.14 for the three 80%+ drops and 0.42 for the < 80% drops, two of which resulted in the 80 threshold being crossed. When I did them again 8 hours later....got five 0.14% credits and 0.42 on last.

Cupla other things I noticed subject to further confirmation due to limited data:

-Making drops in team resulted in a total 0.59 % increase rather than 2 x 0.42% (done 3 times)
-Had 3 peeps in team drop their loads 15-20 seconds after me....10 minutes later, total increase was 0.42% for all 4 of us (and yes, crates were available). If I see someone arrive before me, I have since been waiting till I see increase in % from drop before me before doing my drop.

I've posted a new mission calculator which can be downloaded off bunnynet that will work as long as the 0.14% increase holds. The new calculator is for use after 80% and uses the 0.14% increase. The numbers actually is between 0.13 and 0.14 .... I'm getting a 0.13 between 1/4 and 1/3 of the time

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

To add my own observations then: On Saturday the Fyros towers were all between 55%-65%, and we were getting a 0.42% increase in a team of two. (No idea whether a solo delivery was 0.42% or 0.21% at that time.) On Sunday the Fyros towers were around 65%-75%, and I was seeing 0.14% increases doing the run solo, and 0.28% increases doing it in a team of two. Tried the Zoraï towers and was seeing the normal 2 x 0.42% doing it in a team of two. Yes, even while handing in the packages right after eachother.

*thinks the powers that be are enjoying messing with our minds*

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

Must be something else going on....from Friday morning thru Tuesday morning, I made a delivery every 8 hours

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

Perhaps it has something to do with the individual? Civilization fame/declaration? How many runs they have completed? Oh well.. will keep TRUDGEing away :-P

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

Update for today; the Fyros camps are still getting 0.14% increase per delivery, including the ones that are above 90%, so doesn't look like it'll decrease any further. The Tryker camps are all getting 0.21% increase per delivery, including the one at 61% and the one at 71%. The Matis camps are ofcourse still getting 0.42% per delivery.

These numbers do make me think... apparently the last 30% takes as much work as the entire 70% before that... so would it not be best to get all civilization's camps to 70% first, rather than our current rush to get a few camps to 100%? Specially as I fear the devs will at some point jump in, like they did with the temple-building, and just declare "event over now, every tower over 50% will be build". I sincerely hope they won't, but y'know, just in case? :o

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

The TRUDGE plan was that once we got the mats we needed for the towers in the Lakes that our diggers would move on to help the other regions. As of yesterday we only needed q160, q190, and q210 materials (assuming we calculated correctly).

We definitely need to help out the Matis and Zorai. The more towers that are closer to being complete when/if the devs step in, the more towers we get to keep. However, if these towers in the end will become the Spires, as many suspect they will, then they will make all towers complete whether we build them or not. But for the task at hand, kitins on the rise, we do need to get as much completed in all regions as towers barely started will not be of use to another kitin invasion.

Anyone can join or make a TRUDGE team, you don't have to be in the Lakes, you don't have to be Tryker, the key to the teams is efficieny. Get a group together, decide on the q of the dig and go for it. Diggers love CPers and guards, homins with knowledge of the sources are indispensable, master diggers can pop many nodes for the diggers. No matter the location, you can be of help to a TRUDGE team in some way.

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

My problem currently is, that I have only 1-2 hours on weekdays to do anything. So I am glad that I can do a delivery run. In my opinion doing delivery runs is preferably to digging because of the mission cool down time, that is why I log in, do a delivery run and prepare for the run the following day.

That is why my option are limited to start a TRUDGE team.

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

You can organize TRUDGE delivery runs too :P

All work towards the goals of the event is needed!!

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

What happened? Aris was in the lead... .. Now we are 2nd or 3rd? Everyone run out of steam?

Guess im not really the person to bring this up.. I havent had a lot of chances to run the deliveries in my own region let alone others.. But hoping to motivate people either way.

Re: Tryker Surveillance Camps
 

Not for sure the entire situation as far as the calculations go. The numbers went down.. the numbers went up.. some numbers never moved. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the deliveries equation for the Matis region was very low on Saturday and Sunday when I ran TRUDGE teams there. Seems to me that the delivery boost should have been there at the very least. Perhaps homins have lost their momentum or frustrated at how the boost thing seemed to be playing out (which should be its own post). I am still holding TRUDGE teams now, just in the forest regions.
