Colonization Thread

[Toth]

Hmm maybe this has to do with the delivery status NPC in Couriers, Slycer? He keeps saying limited delivery to Adoulin but nothing to everywhere else (at least on Sylph). Maybe some trigger allows the buff to extend to specific areas.

[Murdock]

Was there ever a marked map posted for all the Reive's in Morimar?

I'm stuck at work, can't check atm.

[Fake]

Contributor assignments for Couriers are Supply Morimar and Foret. You have to run to a frontier station and run back to Coalition. Gave only 2000exp/bayld with 1 tag so Support Morimar/Foret are superior bayld and faster to complete.

[mdkuser]

reives in morimar are situated at each magma river crack, easy to figure out on the map.

[Gwynplaine]

Should be noted in the Dev postings thread they said this:

I'm unable to deal any damage to Achuka.
This first report we received is normal behavior. There are aspects to Wildskeeper Reives that are linked to the colonization rate, so this has to do with the current state.

So that seems settled then that it's definitely the colonization rate.

[Hirronimus]

Not sure if this was brought up, but does anyone know if your Coalition standing can decay (ala Campaign Medals before the fix)?

Likely no one knows yet. It would take 30 days for campaign medal. Might start to hear something a month from now.

I hadn't seen this mentioned yet:
-Rank up from Petitioner to Probationer took 20 tags.
-Rank up from Probationer to Disciple took 20 tags.
-Rank up from Disciple to Contributor took 25 tags.

When I hit 20 and didn't get a rank up I thought I was off, so I went back through my logs:

It was definitely 25 tags from Disciple to Contributor. Since there are 8 ranks, maybe we're looking at 20/20/25/25/30/30/35 for 185 tags total? Only time will tell I suppose.

[Murdock]

reives in morimar are situated at each magma river crack, easy to figure out on the map.

I figured as much, just double checking to make sure. Going to take a group out there to farm bayld later tonight.

[Slycer]

Not sure if this was brought up, but does anyone know if your Coalition standing can decay (ala Campaign Medals before the fix)?

I'm gonna guess no, but that's just intuition. I think there are eight ranks, so you're talking 7 upgrades (140 imprimaturs) in each coalition... times 6 coalitions is 840 imprimaturs... that's 210 days worth of imprimaturs if you use every single one to upgrade to max rank in each. If you have to fight against decreasing rank at the same time then you'd never be able to max out in all of them.

[Buffy]

The 25 tag for rank 3 is good info, but doesn't it contradict previous info in the thread? I thought someone else said 20. Thread is 27 pages at this point, starting to get unwieldy.

Friend was saying he lost a rank with one guild after ranking up in another, so if that is true you only have to concentrate on one anyways unless they fix that

I last checked, 3 Coalition of mine are still Probationer, even when I am doing others.
May be higher ranking than Probationer ?

[NynJa]

I'd like some pics to go with that, I'm on 20 imprimaturs on peacekeeper and courrier, so I'll see if I rank down in the next couple days.

[macross]

I'm a contributer, wasn't no 25 tags to rank up though. Seems more like 15 lol...
Well I ranked up to discple (40) tags, 15-20 tags later I'm contributer. I know after I flagged dinner invite, 5 more tags I got contributer. So either it took me 55 tags to flag dinner invite, or it was 50, and contributer was jsut 55 total.

It's possible doing higher level assignments is more efficient? I did all survey: ceizak which is petitioner level. I'm switching to a contributor level assignment for the next batch. We'll see what that does.

would definitely like some pics or more info on that..
its kinda lame if you can't go past a certain rank on various coalitions because for completion/colonization sake people will focus on Couriers since those directly affect convenience to outer zones and some of them cannot be undertaken once F. Station is established.

..as to someone elses point that maybe higher rank helps to rank up faster, its quite possible, but in that sense Courier rank up is screwed since Probationer's only new assignments only last for so long

[Gwynplaine]

I'm skeptical.

Nothing in (or out of) the game communicates that your rank can fall unlike in Campaign.

[Sechs]

Is it confirmed that for the purpose of ranking up using 3 imprimaturs is the same as using 1?
If it is confirmed then it's better to use 1 imprimatur per run rather than 3 like I've been doing so far.

[Hitou]

For ranking up, it takes 20 total imprimaturs, doesn't matter how you use them 1, 2 or 3 at a time. You get more exp/bayld total by doing say 3 singles instead of a 3 imp. assignment, but that's the only difference.
