Patch 00847-a of 2021/02/12

Additional explanations to Patch 00847 (2021/02/13)

Addition to Patch 847 has been put online on Feb. 13th 2021 [2].

Bugs
– The Nexus missions are temporarily unavailable. The speed of arrival of the fix will depend on the number of liters of coffee you send to the Dev.
– A title display bug has appeared. The Dev is waiting for you to decipher the hieroglyphics before correcting it. ;)
Marauder gameplay
– The new drill is visually a marauder but does not yet drill marauder OP material, this will be added in another patch. In the meantime, it is visibly succeeding in diverting OP material from the Powers incognito.
Mysterious OP at the Nexus
– Four new outposts have appeared at the Nexus. They are outposts without any roleplay connotation which, once activated, will be used to carry out the tests of the "OP refactoring" project in real conditions. The participants in these live tests will all be rewarded.


Patch 00847-b of 2021/04/16

Maintenance

Friday, 16 April 10:10:00 UTC Atys has just reopened after a maintenance.
We took the opportunity to patch the faction change of three tribes that join the Marauders [3].


Patch 00868 of 2021/05/17

A client patch and server restart took place on May 17, 2021 to implement the following changes, adds and fixes.

New Allegories

Tepsen was right: a jewel engraved with an Allegory can indeed produce beneficial effects on its wearer (see Rumors about kitins). Indeed, the best jeweler in Atys, Loigi Giurgi, has managed to discover four effects that he is now making available to everyone in exchange for Elyps. Namely:

(These are suggested names for allegories)
Precisions:

OP Refactoring Tests

The four outposts recently established in the Nexus are activated (opened to homin attack). The characteristics of the battles to be fought for their conquest not only differ significantly from those of the "historical" outposts, but will evolve as the redesign project progresses. Below are those adopted for the first phase of testing:


The thresholds set for a given guild at the outpost that will be the target of its next test battle and the rewards to be expected for the latter will evolve as follows:

Example:
A guild attacks for the first time the outpost 250 of the Nexus (whose threshold is then for it set to 3) and wins. From then on, it can choose, for its next test battle, to attack the same outpost with threshold 3 or threshold 4. In the first case, even if the said next battle is victorious, the threshold that will be proposed it for a third battle will be 3. In the second case, the latter threshold will be preset to 5 (if victorious) or 4 (if defeated).

Three tribes pay allegiance to Marauders

The First Deserters, the Smugglers and the Lawless have pledged their allegiance to the Marauders. Their camps and missions have been adjusted accordingly.

However, the Achievements for these tribes have not yet been updated; they will be soon.

Enrichment of the events

The range of behaviors that the animation team can make NPCs perform during events has been expanded. Some of these added behaviors already existed for outpost NPCs (such as NPC healing NPCs and grenade launcher use), others did not. In addition, a parent-child relationship has been implemented to allow for more efficient management of NPC groups.

This modification does not affect all NPCs and creatures of Atys, but only those entities whose appearance and play are controlled by the animators via Ryzom Arkitect (ARK).

Bosses Refactoring

The new Bosses are ready to appear on new popping sites. Here are some of their characteristics:


The implementation of this new popping system of Bosses, started a few days after that of the patch described here, has been carried out in three stages in rapid succession:

Atys and Silan in-game maps

Storyline missions rewards

Until now, out of the five in-game Storyline missions, only the "Kitin Rumors" ( those about Allegories) and "Nexus Riches" missions offered a reward (respectively a Yubo Allegory and a Gnoof Mount).

In order for each mission to offer a reward, we have split the first into two missions: "Kitin Rumors" and "Allegory Rumors". "Allegory Rumors" now offers the Yubo Allegory as a reward, and "Rumors of Kitins" is one of the four missions that are from now on rewarded.

Thus, the two missions of the Prologue ("General Rumor" and "Kitin Rumor") as well as the missions "Mapping the Nexus" and "Very special necklaces!" are each rewarded by a permanent improvement of the effects of the Allegories (once these are engraved again). To wit:


For example, if you have the "Sweet Death" allegory engraved after completing these four missions you will have a 5% chance of avoiding the death penalty instead of 1%.

Patch elements already in game

To learn more about these new features, please see the May 17, 2021 patchnote: https://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/31591/1 (Patch 00868)

Patch elements that will be activated in a few days
Rewards for Storyline missions:
New feature not detailed in the previous patchnote: adding of the "Gibbais and Salina" mission which, when completed, gives a permanent bonus of +20% reward for each fulfilled daily mission.
New Allegories:
More details in the May 17, 2021 patchnote.
OP Refactoring Tests:
More details in the May 17, 2021 patchnote.
Changes in the rumors:
Storyline prologue rumors will now be collected using a dynamic event (DynE).
The rumors about Allegories will be removed from the Kitin rumors group. They will now be independent and will not be managed by a DynE. For this particular group of rumors, you will still have to find the NPC who will give you the next one, based on the clues given by the rumor alone.
"What's up?" Dynamic Event:
A new dynamic event (DynE) will be added, the "What's up?" This DynE is basically the same as the other rumor events, but with a few differences:
The NPCs who give rumors are only located in the capitals and the camps Marauders and Rangers.
This DynE is a never-ending one: new rumors will be added to it periodically.
The "What's up?" rumors will be a good way to keep up to date with changes in the game, events or just... funny rumors;
For you to be able to distinguish unfounded rumors from real information, the transmission of the latter only will be accompanied by the opening of a web page to complete it.
After a long break, back to Ryzom, you will be able to continue the "What's up?" rumors, it's like getting an update!
So when you return to Atys after a long break, picking up the "What's up?" rumors collection where you left it off will bring you up to date!

Patch 00877-a, September 19th 2021

RyZtart becomes the default installer for Windows and Linux

For a few months now, RyZtart, our new Ryzom installer, patcher and launcher, has been in beta testing on Linux and Windows and under development on MacOS. We are happy to announce that it is now the default installer on the Ryzom website ( www.ryzom.com) for Windows and Linux platforms! Installing RyZtart does not require you to uninstall the old Ryzom installer. The two can cohabit without any problem.

RyZtart makes your life easier

RyZtart offers a connection option to your Ryzom account. Once connected, you won't have to enter the password for the next sessions. Moreover, RyZtart allows you to connect directly with a character without going through the selection window.

Versatile, RyZtart will also provide utility modules

With a totally modular design, RyZtart is meant to provide utility modules to add new possibilities.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of modules that we think are interesting to develop and for which we call on all players who have some knowledge of Python programming and wish to help:

RyZtart using the pywebview GUI ( https://pywebview.flowrl.com), it would also be possible to integrate web applications.

Patch 00882, September 28th 2021

PATCH DAY!!! ATYS CLOSED THE ENTIRE DAY!

A client, data and server patch and a restart of the game server will be performed on Tuesday September 28th 2021 in order to implement the following changes, additions and fixes:

Ryzom database

― The database of Ryzom will be moved to another server. This operation will take some time, thus the patch will have an unusually long duration (potentially taking all day).

Kitin's Lair occupations

― The 4 occupations which gives missives to be executed the Kitin's Lair (Larvester, Medic, Butcher and Scrollmaker) are moved into the Kitin's Lair.
― Addition of icons on the map to display locations of occupation NPCs.

Marauder mini-camps

― Addition of 3 Marauder mini-camps to complete the series of 4 scheduled. There will now be one mini-camp in each nation.
― In regions having a mini-camp, the Zinuakeen will be moved into the camp.
― All the mini-camps get stables and a mission giver.
― Addition of icons on the map to display the location of the mini-camps.

Boss refactoring

― Boss refactoring entering the second phase: The new boss system is implemented to Primes Roots, and Nexus gets a more normal respawn time for bosses.

The next step will be the generalization of the new system to all of Atys.


Patch 00882-a, November 23rd 2021

Fix of the new bosses in test in Nexus - (2021 - 08 - 01)

We added a fix for the new boss system to improve the boss guards.

For information, the reported bugs are also present in the old boss system. To fix this we made the following changes:

A new algorithm for the Prime Root bosses (2021 - 11 - 22)

We just released on Atys a new algorithm for the spawn of the Bosses in the Primes Roots.

This algorithm no longer works with a random between a minimum and a maximum but with a random between 0 and a dynamic maximum

The dynamic maximum depends on the previous spawn times: the faster the Bosses in a zone appear, the higher the maximum, conversely, the more rarely they appear, the lower the maximum.

On average, a Boss appears in a zone every 24 hours, but its appearance time varies between 5 minutes and several days.

Furthermore, the calculation no longer depends on the time of death, but on the time of the boss spawn. If a boss stays alive for a long time, there is a good chance that the next one will quickly appear.


Patch 00893 , December 29th 2021

Hot Fixes

― Fixed the required vcruntime140_1.dll file. The file has been added to the folder
