That would leave some OP's with 1 weanie yubo and a fledgeling yber as defence ![]() (sorry to make jokes in this, so far, interesting and mature discussion but I could not control myself) |

Re: Outposts shifting to GvG
I really like to write a whole chapter about what I think of outposts, but don't have the time. Some good points have been brought up so far so I won't ramble
I'm still waiting for other way's and different outposts to be released. Trading, diplomatic, scientific. and other way's of obtaining and holding them... |

What do you mean ? A whole guild is defending here. Also why not having a minimum of 5 guards. Minor balancing detail imo. |

Re: Outposts shifting to GvG
Faction control of outposts fits the lore of the land, it is also the most practical way to represent PvP in Ryzom.
The current system of Kami/Karavan/neutral works fine. If I want to remain out of the PvP I have that choice...but still remain 'active' in the politics of the conflict. If I want to 'voice' my opinion on the battlefield I can 'declare' my faction. This basic system I would not alter, but the rewards for OP ownership/participation should be thoroughly looked into. Maybe a suggestion thread dedicated to OP rewards Nevrax ? |

What exactly do you mean by "defense malus" ? We already have thresholds that decrease with time. Also, if you agree with my earlier post that larger numbers favor a more dynamic situation (easier to kill the guards when 100 vs 100 players are there rather than 20vs20) wouldn't increasing some "defence malus" on the current AvA situation STILL be more dynamic than GvG? |

Defense malus exemple : For each week of ownership, an extra attacker Npc will help the challenger guild. A big guild sitting on an OP for 2 months will face an extra 8 enemy NPC helping the challenging guild. Or decrease the number of guards overtime in the same manner. So many ways to implement, doesn't matter which one is used. The whole point is this: Do Ryzom players wants to keep FvF (AvA) the way it is ? = A same big coalition controls the OP's forever, getting stronger & stronger as time pass, while more join their ranks & the opposite side leaves for Cho ? I really don't see anything dynamic here, even less challenging or simply fun. Last edited by vladww : October 11th, 2006 at 05:09 PM. |

I'm not sure how this would work. Do the attacker NPC's spawn in the middle of the outpost in the mix of the defender NPCs? Sounds like easy slaughter, unless attackers hold the center (but they need the advantage to get there, not stay there) Less defending NPC's would work. HOWEVER, less defending NPCs would make AvA more dynamic than GvG. Higher numbers favor attackers. However many NPCs guards there are, their effecit is minimized when turnout is large. Quote:
There's no reason Kami should hold as many outposts as Kara if they have less people. What effect Cho will have on this, I can't say. I can see potential problems, but its pure speculation. |

Not _quite_ true. One Alliance holds 1/2 the OPs on the server. The other half are divided up into a number of smaller groups, some of which work together in some situations. Some of them are community OPs that dont take part in PvP at all. Quote:
Actually I think that it would improve the balance if a smaller side held equal OPs. People would drift towards that side as they get more crystals per person. Unfortunately it doesnt work that way and you get small guilds like GoJ holding an OP because they are part of a huge alliance, so they get fat on the produce while others starve. |

The "drift to the side with more outposts" theory has been proven incorrect. Otherwise one side would have taken over. It hits a critical mass and community factors keep the sides in check. |

Actually it hasn't. What we have acheived through great effort by the community is a 'pause'. Not a reversal or an equilibrium. One side does still have the power to take over, its just slightly harder work than it was, for now. How long until it overcomes this bump is where there's possible contention. |
