The Repopulation

Présentation
Dans les mois qui suivirent le débarquement du TSS l'Étoile du Nord sur Rhyldan, l'humanité était unie autour d'un but commun: la survie. Une espèce indigène appelé Lesoo mena une série d'attaques sur la nouvelle colonie, mais bien que les Lesoos sont une espèce forte et robuste, ils furent surpassés technologiquement.

La nouvelle colonie fut nommée Plymouth, et ce nom marqua une fois de plus la découverte d'un nouveau monde. Plymouth City fut construite lentement à l'aide de ressources naturelles locales et de pièces récupérées de l'Étoile du Nord. Pendant quelque temps il y eut la paix et l'unité parmi les hommes. Mais cela ne dura pas.

La loi de la colonie était tout simplement que chacun était responsable de lui même. Votre vie n'est pas un droit, c'est un privilège. C'était une terre dangereuse et il arrivait régulièrement que quelqu'un meure dans la nature en s'éloignant de la colonie. La possibilité de restaurer des souvenirs et de reconstruire rapidement les humains à partir de leur ADN ont transformés la mort en un contretemps douloureux.

Les choses commencèrent à mal tourner quand un soldat nommé Obore Daniels a commencé à faire des vagues. Daniels contestait le fait que les enfants n'étaient pas autorisés. Les enfants ne pouvaient pas se débrouiller seul et pire encore ils rendait les adultes moins productifs. Il contestait également le fait que le Conseil, l'ensemble des premiers colons, choisissait quel ADN utiliser sur les nouveaux clones et gardait l'ADN sécurisé loin des autres. Certains colons voulait voir des membres de leur familles ressuscité, mais à moins que ces « membres de la famille » possédait des talents uniques pour justifier le temps de clonage, ce n'était pas possible.

Daniels a continué à faire entendre ses sentiments et au fil du temps il rassembla un nombre raisonnable d'autres citoyens à sa cause. Il disparu alors pendant une patrouille, apparemment suite à une embuscade de Lesoos. Le Conseil décida de ne pas accorder une nouvelle vie à Daniels. De leur point de vue, il était un fauteur de troubles et pouvait être remplacé par quelqu'un qui serait tout aussi productif, mais moins gênant. Cette décision ne plu pas.

Les protestations commencèrent à naitre, mené par un homme nommé Edward Salazar. Salazar émis l'hypothèse que Daniels avait en fait été assassiné sur ordre du conseil. Il n'y avait aucune preuve dans ce sens mais le refus de rétablir sa vie laissait un doute. Les manifestants ont refusé de travailler jusqu'à ce que ce problème soit résolu. L'unité des colons éclata et les querelles étaient hors de contrôle. Pour mater la rébellion, le Conseil créa le premier d'une série de cyborgs qu'ils appelèrent Peacekeeper. Ces cyborgs furent créés en utilisant un mélange d'ADN hybride et équipés d'inhibiteurs d'ondes cérébrales qui les ont rendus complètement contrôlables et loyaux envers le Conseil.

Les Peacekeepers furent utilisés pour forcer les gens à retourner au travail. Quand ils furent lapidés, ils ouvrirent le feu et le sang fut versé. Salazar et ceux qui le soutenaient fuirent et devinrent des parias. Ils se firent appelés la République Populaire Libre (FPR : Free People's Republic) et s'enfuirent dans les collines, où ils semblèrent disparaître.

Une nuit, ils organisèrent une attaque bien coordonnée sur l'usine de clonage à Plymouth et réussirent à repartir avec un ensemble de brins d'ADN. La FPR était désormais en mesure d'élever sa propre armée. Le Conseil condamna ce vol et forma sa propre nation, appelé Un Monde, une Nation (OWON : One World, One Nation).

Les deux camps sont si diamétralement opposées qu'elles sont tombées dans un état de guerre ouverte. OWON estime que la scission du FPR a affaibli les deux factions, et qu'ils l'ont fait pour des raisons égoïstes. Leur objectif est la survie de l'humanité, et ils ne veulent pas que des desiderata individuels se mettent en travers de leur chemin. De son coté, La FPR voit OWON comme étant un gouvernement oppressif qui refuse les opinions divergentes. Ils ont mené une campagne de propagande contre OWON, tentant de convaincre les nouveaux clones. OWON a quant à lui diabolisé la FPR comme une bande de séparatistes.
Modifier
Systèmes de jeu
• Une approche hybride qui combine les mécanismes bac à sable et parc à thème.

• Système unique à trois factions PvP (Player vs Player) qui permet aux joueurs de rejoindre l'une des deux grandes nations (OWON ou FPR), ou de former leur propre nation indépendante. Les nations indépendante sont similaires aux guildes dans d'autres jeux, sauf qu'elles agissent également comme une faction indépendante en PvP.

• Le système de construction de ville permet aux nations de former leurs propres villes avec murs, tourelles, ateliers, maisons et d'autres infrastructures qui bénéficies à leur propriétaire, ou la ville dans son ensemble. Les villes peuvent même être assiégées par les nations opposées.

• Un gameplay basée sur les compétences, et 15 niveaux d'avancement dans chaque compétence. Cela inclut des compétences de combat, sociales, Rogue, artisanat, de médecine générale et divers arbres de compétences.

• Un système qui fournit au hasard des événements survenus à travers le monde. Ces événements peuvent évoluer, muter, se propager et sont basés sur la façon dont les joueurs réagissent entre eux. Visiter le même lieu trois fois pourrait dévoiler trois environnements très différents si les joueurs ont introduit des espèces exotiques ou modifié une zone. Les rencontres sont à la fois communes et aléatoires, et tous les joueurs qui participent pourront profiter des récompenses automatiques.

• Le système de missions avancées générées aléatoirement (quêtes) permet aux joueurs de toujours avoir quelque chose à faire.

• Le jeu intègre un double système de combat, dont un dynamique permettant de viser et tirer et un autre plus inspiré des RPG, avec une atmosphère traditionnelle MMORPG.

• De nombreux rebondissements. Selon le développeur, le système incite à jouer en équipe. Le Système Momentum permet par ailleurs de profiter de ses acquis pour développer de puissantes capacités (par exemple, le joueur pourra acquérir des compétences contre une espèce particulière en les combattant).

• Les joueurs ne sont pas contraints au combat. Il y a de nombreuses activités connexes non combattantes, et diverses méthodes pour les faire progresser indépendamment du combat. Cela inclut un système avancé d'artisanat qui permet la création de nombreux objets de pointe.

• Un système de véhicules pour se déplacer rapidement ou combattre, en plus de véhicules de siège.

• Personnalisez votre équipement avec un système de montage.

• Apprivoisez les animaux et éduquez les pour qu’ils gagnent en puissance au fil du temps. Construire ou acheter des robots est possible pour effectuer diverses tâches.

• Soyez récompensé pour vos voyages à travers le système d'exploration.

• Les bosses développent des stratégies et adaptent leurs tactiques pour affronter les joueurs. Le système permet aux bosses de sélectionner leurs aptitudes et compétences adaptées au niveau de difficultés et adversaires.

• Les joueurs ont une influence sur le monde. Les PNJ tiennent compte des actes et paroles du joueur et se souviennent de la façon dont le joueur les traite. Traiter rapidement une menace permet d’éviter qu’un problème ne s’étende. À défaut, une zone peut tomber au main d’un adversaire.

End of June 2014 Update

• 
  
• 
  

Created on Friday, 04 July 2014 03:16 Written by Joshua Halls

(First thanks to Benoit Niedzielski for this wonderful work above, they all have been good, but this one is phenomenal. You can get a full resolution version here.)
It's that time of the month again, and with July's arrival needed to take some time to reflect on June. The biggest addition is the new Batching System for Crafting. You can now produce up to a hundred results in an automated and batched fashion, provided you have reached sufficient mastery level for that recipe. Batches are sent to the player's Batch Queue, with the duration of time required being based on the quantity and quality of the result. Higher quality and quantity will result in longer production times. You can cut resource costs by producing low quality batches, or raise quality at a cost of more resources. Batched crafting will never be able to produce as good of a result as manual harvesting, but it can produce good results in quick time.
Harvesting also received significant upgrades in June. Surveying can now provide information on "whack a node" regions. Surveying also provides information about about additional details such as spawning queues, quantity spawned, and spawning quality. Regions also now spawn at a randomized quality which is set for 30 minutes before reshuffling. Players can improve the quality for themselves and other players by using a new Enrich option, up to a maximum of B9 quality. The "enhancing" aspect of the system was tweeked as well to allow more skilled players to enchance "junk" nodes up to B9 if they want to take the time doing so.
The Inquiry system also received a number of improvements this month. The largest of those revolve around the games generated content systems. You can now ask for information on harvester or adversarial camp related content in either the local area or any other area that the NPC might know about. If you ask about resources for example, you could find out which resources are available to have harvesters placed on them. You will then need to survey and find a good location, but it allows players to check on resources in further off areas without needing to travel there to survey. The camp system meanwhile not only provides information on a random camp in the area, but it also assigns the player 30 minute time limited mission to take out either the camp or NPCs from it. If the camp is in the same area as the player it will also provide a tracking arrow to the camp.  
 
We also took the time during the month to put out a podcast with Mostly Harmless during this month. They are a guild with a few members in Alpha and we talk about the game and they also talk a little bit about their experiences during the Alpha. Mostly a Q/A, but if you want to check it out you can find it up on Youtube.
 

 
Alpha 3 has been humming along and we are grateful to everyone that has supported us and joined in on the testing and bug squashing that has gone on the last few months. July should be a busy month with more tweeking and bug fixing as we are getting closer to being Beta 1 ready. Alpha 3 access is still available as part of the Early Adopter Program on our website and we look forward to seeing more of you in game later in the year as we roll into Beta and the different Beta phases.
Adversarial Camps

• You can now receive destination arrows and descriptions of known camps through the inquiry system.
  
• There are new timed missions which will reward the first player who can take out a den or reward players a bounty for clearing out certain NPCs inside of a den.
  
• Adversarial Camps spawning rules were tweaked again, to add a higher number of initial mobs, but to decrease the numbers significantly on the higher end.
  

AI

• Many tweaks were made to AI to adjust the ranges at which mobs will aggro players, and the ranges at which they will pursue players.
  
• Leashed NPCs now will return to their spawn origin as well if they chased far enough. They would just start roaming again before and then almost immediately reaggro on the player.
  
• NPCs now have a max pursue distance check. They already have a distance cap, this prevents the npc from running around a ton (mostly to prevent Kiting)
  
• NPCs running back to their spawning point are now invulnerable. They will give a message to indicate this if you try to shoot them. Once they reach their destination they will be back to normal again.
  
• Adjusted the Unpursue/return to spawn state so if it fails to get a proper path it just books it A->B.
  
• Altered the mob chase code to add in randomization and to ease up on chasing if a player has not damaged them recently.
  
• Increased vulture pursue speed.
  
• NPCs returning to the spawn point if they are fixed positioned spawns use the same AI state now as npcs returning if they killed a player. State it was using was for moving an NPC point to point.
  
• Minor optimizations to the pursue AI code.

Combat

• You will no longer be able to gain combat or defensive skills against trivial opponents. Whether an opponent is trivial or not is determined by your skill with the currently equipped weapon as well as your overall Combat Knowledge in relation to your target.
  
• Your chances to gain skills will also be affected by the difficulty of your opponent in comparison to your own skill levels with your current weapon.
  
• Adjustments were made to the radius indicator on clients. The radius indicator shown is now a more accurate reflections of the radius of the ability used.
  
• All NPCs should now have an awareness range that is further than the furthest sniper rifle reach. They will not aggro from this range generally, but should be able to detect players if they are the subject of attacks.
  
• Internal combat performance optimizations.
  
• Grenade accuracy was increased and dodge check removed as you can roll away from them so there isn't a lot of need to make them miss if you are standing in the explosion area.

• When you inquire about camps in the nearby area, you may receive new timed missions to eliminate NPCs who are a part of those camps or dens.
  
• You can now inquire about what resources are new in an area. This can be used to see if any generated harvester based nodes are available in the local area and what types. You will still need to survey to find them from there, but this will give you some general information beforehand.

• Stacking is now supported in the bank via double clicking and adding it to the bank. It will stack with existing bank items if dragged over top of a stackable item. Otherwise it will swap.
  
• Splitting inside of the bank to another bank slot should work exactly like it does in the inventory. Splitting between the inv/bank is not supported though.

Missions

• You can now receive long range markers for many more NPCs in the game and you can get them directly through missions even if the NPC is currently on the other side of the area. We still have the capability to hide some NPCs, and other NPCs who patrol wide radius are or spawn completely randomly are impossible to properly give long range markers for, but it is should be much easier to learn for new players.
  
• Short range NPC arrows have been phased out in favor of the long term ones. The short range arrows will instead just show in gold on the minimap dots and the long range one will stay active.
  
• Added cross area tracking to numerous missions which did not previously support them.
  
• The Faugea Ambassador should now give the Communicating with the Faugea mission to players who have already befriended the Faugea. This will take a couple of missions to achieve.

• Introduced a new mission in the Taken in the Night series: Hack Into the Cloning Computer.
