Graphics over Gameplay

So what is Ryzom, its a a nice story with new (not orc elvebased ) story in a new world.
The big pros of ryzom are the new story and the graphics, as we all know french are great in fantasy graphics, but 2 weeks before ryzom open beta will start again and that one will truly be just a test on server stability, we see no gameplay advancement.
Gameplay in Ryzom is boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! solo fighting is hitting the fight key and going afk for 2 minutes than hitting the self heal key and afk for 2 more minutes to come back and loot. than sitting down 5 minutes to regenerate and starting the turn again(solo play). In group play it`s not much more, only healers and mages need to make a macro to start their spells when the spell before is cast.
Crafting is atm much better as in the beginning, but still u hit a key and start it, where the number of different mats is totally equal and u will only craft best if there are players who camp one mob for it`s loot.
Harvesting is still a joke. Sitting hours for half as much loot as fighters would get in the same time(they would even get better quality loot) for i don`t know. It`s just a useless skill atm.
PvP is not any kind of challenge, as u can easily one hit kill ppl. Personal defence was taken out of the game , so ur defence will be same as ur offense skill. There is no personal resists or damage absorbation what would make gameplay interresting (yeah u can craft some in armor but thats more a joke as it`s most time not ur choice but what mats u find)
I really thought Ryzom could be a great game, but with the developments from beta 2 to fb atm i don`t believe it will. It will be a nice game for ppl who llike to look at new graphice(which u can see at screenshots and movies on fanpages) but for players who like to PLAY a game it will be frustrating.
Way older games like AO got more interresting gameplay

Sir, and I say this with all due respect.
I think "ur" on crack. What world you're playing the game on is beyond me, but your opinion is definitely wrong. How you're able to AFK in a fight is beyond me, unless you're fighting monsters so far below your level you're not getting experience.
You can always go camp the hot dark elf spawn in EQ2 if you think that will be more fun.
I think gameplay is the same as in the other MMORPG. I mean, gameplay has always been boring in MMORPGs
XPing in Everquest is boring as hell. Same for DAOC, etc.
Posts like the first one make me realize we need some kind of Literacy Test to keep the Internet from drowning in a sea of drivel.
If combat in Ryzom is boring in any way, it must be because you've tragically lost both your arms recently and can no longer work your computer. Or today is opposite day and "boring" means "fun" and I just didn't get the memo. Perhaps the OP should go back to banging his head against the wall and drooling on himself, which is probably "fun". Or "boring", if it is indeed opposite day.
Perhaps someone could site how they think combat is versus how the original post stated. This may be more effective instead of simply bashing him for his post.
Screenshots and videos are necessary for first impressions, but what you can't see in them are the things that matter the most.
so...
Well I've been lucky enough to paticipate in the sage of ryzom beta and there are a number of great things in it but also a great number of bad. First of all not sure if it's just my comp or others but the game has some issues with running smoothly. I have 3gig P4, radeon 9800 gig of RAM etc yet the game stalled often and i had dire frame rates of 10fps and dipping much lower in towns.
This would normally be fine if it were not that my comp can run Doom3 on high settings at a solid 50fps..
Secondly there are a number of things in the game which are very basic but does not tell you at all how to use. It just dumps you in your very large starting town after teleporting.. unsure of where to go,, where to get quests etc...
Apart from these 2 problems the game is very exciting and a joy to play... a particular thing I found good is that you are able to learn to learn all sklls concurrently so n skill dropping... and with a current level limit of 250 PER SKILL and nearly 300 skills in there,, there is a al ot of game to play
Hello,
I just wanted to give a comment on combat in MMOs, and what could possibly make Ryzom different.
MMO combat, by nature, is usually a case of click the <insert combat key here> and wait. Beyond that, you are able to cast spells, etc. In Ryzom, combat is made distinct in at least one way and that is via the Modular Action System. This system allows you to create custom actions, spells, attacks, etc. By modifying your actions you are able to come up with a more diverse group of tactics than you would see in most games. You can, however, use default actions in everything but it could possibly put you at a disadvantage by not allowing you explore more efficient actions.
I hope that helped shed some light.

Fighting in MMO`s WAS boring as they improve and since some years most mmorpg`s are advancing and even small fights become way more interresting. We`re not talking about games from the 90`s.
Yes i can build my "own" actions in ryzom (attacks, spells, ..) but that will need a week maximum and i am done with it(Know the system and how to build my new action, it`s not giving me that much variety as it sounds like). Sure it`s a nice option but not improving the gameplay to a good
I fight up to 50 level higher mobs with the system i explained above, at level 120 solo.
So if u now want to tell me, that theres other stuff to do in ryzom, it is not, so not for the momment. Missions is fighting only atm, as just one other kind of mission will work. Outposts seem to be not in game. Guilds can be build but just for another chat option. I could craft, but for crafting i need materials and materials i get from fighting(equal if i fight mobs or ressource spots)
As my english isn`t the best and there are other reasons why ryzom is not the top mmorpg atm read this http://www.worldofryzom.com/showthread.php?t=1315 just another opinion of someone playing ryzom as long as i do.
I dont know where you've been for the past two weeks, but all of that except for guilds being able to take outposts have been added and work. You might wanna log back in, it's getting better exponentially, dude.

Lol i was just reading this thread then realised my leaving message was posted :P
Lol
Im Neas from World of Ryzom and yes thats my post there heh.
They are my reasons for leaving, altho some are slightly biases and my own preferences. Afterall Ryzom isnt for everyone its a unique mmorpg.
I prefer mmorpgs with set spells rather than the open spell system of ryzom, i like choices and restrictions i.e be a healer, be a mage (be weak tho etc), be a fighter (tank). In ryzom u can be healer,mage,fighhter with no restrictions so it leads to one alpha class that is played by all characters.
Yes u can just go one path but u would be severly disadvantaged, and with the current xping situtaion to gain from lvl 40-50 in off magic would be a similar time to get 35 lvls in fight thus making u stronger and more effective in combat.
I agree tho, but obv i would do
. I havent palyed ryzom for a week now not since posting that leaving message, ive been going into Klients less and less and on the World of ryzom forums less. It appears that i am moving on heh. And to be honest i dont miss it at all, because the addiction had totally drained from me when i left.
I agree that currently the mmorpg (ryzom open beta, as we see it currently) is quite stale, it required content as it always has done. Currently all u do is fight and make ure own RPG stuff. At release i think they will change it or add new content but unfortunately the spark has gone for me so i wont be at release.
Cya In WoW Stress Test if u are going

I was looking forward to playing SoR as it gave the impression of being rather different from all the other games out there. Having played open beta for a few days I am disappointed. Nice graphics but nothing original or interesting in terms of gameplay. Personally I will wait for one of the many others that are due out in the next few months.
