Re: Season one mektoub races! Win great prizes!
 

Hello,

With the three races in the Witherings being finished, we bring some modifications to the race rules. These changes concern the speed eggs and the mektoubs.

- It is now impossible to race and use a speed modification (egg or acceleration skill). Using an acceleration will cause you to immediately abandon the race.

- Death of your mektoub, freeing it, or being away from it will cause you to immediately abandon the race.

These modifications have been established after feedback concerning the races.

Consolation prizes will be given to every player who makes a better time than the maximum time announced on the race.

Enjoy Ryzom and may the best runner of Atys win!

Glad to read this. After my first race i stopped because looking the times was obvious people used speed eggs.
I didn't complained because i would have used them if i had some, anyway good to see i can try to compete for the next races. :)

Why dont you give us real content by fixing dante instead of mek races.
Mybe you should tell the community Dante is turned off and has been so for over 2 months.

I'll Second this.

Re: Season one mektoub races! Win great prizes!
 

As someone who isn't much into Marauder boss hunting, I've gotten more real content out of these races than I would've gotten out of Dante, thankyouverymuch.

Yes, he should be turned back on, but it's not a dichotomy.

Re: Season one mektoub races! Win great prizes!
 

Indeed. Apart from new regions, with new dangers at higher levels for new skills (just another 250 region won't keep people occupied for long...), regular events are the best new content you can have.
Make them varried though, so there's something for everyone at some point.

And make them such that they don't appeal only to high level players while hampering low level players (the race in theory at least works great for that, anyone with the dappers to buy a mount can take part).

It's the people complaining about the lack of content more than any others who complain whenever something is introduced or organised...
If you're so specific in what you want to see, submit a REALISTIC plan to the event team and/or devs rather than discouraging them by slagging their efforts at every turn.

dante who ? was it that guy who only allowed single group to enter his zone every x hours making it non-instanced single group instance ?

dont be selfish. let others have fun too.

Re: Season one mektoub races! Win great prizes!
 

yup. That guy, who was camped near 24/7 by a certain guild until they got tired of killing him.

Re: Season one mektoub races! Win great prizes!
 

meh, I thought the races were a good idea, and good content. As ever the poor implementation screwed it all up for me, but at least it seems lessons are being learned, if very slowly...

Maybe next time.

Re: Season one mektoub races! Win great prizes!
 

Apparently sitting down also causes you to abandon the race... I assume because it changes your speed factor? :p

I hope that doesn't mean that getting critted in the legs (causing a slowdown) by a random gingo also means you abandon the race, that'd be rather annoying.
