Colonization Thread

[Maurauc]

Oh! I figure I should mention (Don't think I've seen any sign of it yet). Now that the Scout's Coalition is saying Torchbloom EL is being researched, I am able to use my tincture. I think I'll wait until it's fully researched before I'll use it though.

[Sechs]

Finally got back home and could test at Dimmian, still 100k for me.
Here's my situation

Fame: level 3
Quests completed: 21
Coalition Assignments: 6 (clear ceizak, preserve ceizak, support ceizak, survey ceizak, gather rala, recover ceizak)
Coalition Ranks: Contributor Pioneer, Probationer courier, likely Petitioneer everywhere else
Missions: All of them of course (so over 50 imprimaturs)
Wildkeepers Reive: never tried, never bought
Skirmish: as above

Posted this in the bugs thread, but I guess it'll reach more eyes if I post it here.

If you die in a reive, and crash while dead, your tags are lost.

i thought they fixed that?

They made it so if you're dead, your progress doesnt get wiped out. This is specific to crashing while dead, since you dont have buffs while you're dead. I have a feeling this may be similar to crashing while dead with reraise, how you lose the reraise effect (or used to).

well thats shit, so in an unlucky event where you die in a wildskeeper reive (which we know happens quiet alot wiht 90 people in zone and a lag fest) and you crash at the same time before its about to die you are sol. what fuckign bullshit

[NynJa]

If you crash at any point while you're dead in a WK reive (or any reive, it'll just matters most in a WK reive), you lose your tags and you get fucked on loot, and your bayld just went down the shitter.

[Obsidian]

Posted that in the bug forum like a month ago. Can't get raised by anyone in the Reive either, even though you're still getting momentum bonuses.

for what its worth:

[20:22:24]>>Baudle : he needed some details, but I had to rush out of the house, and he said I could give them in later
[20:22:49]>>Baudle : basically, I died in a <{Wildskeeper Reive}>, I crashed, then I lost my tags because of it

[20:32:51][GM]Baudle>> I wish you all the best, Kehhiko, and an excellent day. Thank you again!


doubt anything will happen, but I can say I did what I could. Wish they could refund the bayld since the logs should show I clearly entered the reive, and my attempts to raise myself were blocked by the lack of status.

[dasva]

I doubt it's a matter of could so much as would. Bug ingame causes you loss? Deal with it. Bug ingame causes you gain? Take it all away and warn/ban/suspend you

[Sechs]

Did around 10 more Imprimaturs, still 100k

It's also a matter of literal ability. GMs are capable of creating certain inventory items, but not with all of their attributes. (A good example is augmented equipment, as everyone knows by now that GMs can restore the base item, but not its augments.) Likewise, there are things that they cannot do at all, as in they literally do not have the functionality/clearance available to them. If you do manage to strike up a conversation with a GM (rather than receiving a ticket response), and they're relatively personable, you can ask them about these things, and they will tell you. Some won't, but those who understand that it isn't company-compromising information will.

[dasva]

Oh I didn't mean the GMs I know they have little power in that regard. And yeah I've talked to them forget who they said would have to do stuff like that.

[Borgasm]

Just to add my current progress for the nakuul KIs

Me:
Rank 3 fame
39 quests
9 unique Coal. Assisgnments
Missions complete
Contributor: Couriers
Probationer: Pioneers, Mummers, Peacekeepers
Petitioner: Inventors, Scouts
No Wildkeepers or Skirmish done

Mule:
Rank 3 Fame
34 quests
9 unique Coal. Assignments
Missions complete
Disciple: Couriers
Probationer: Pioneers, Mummers, Peacekeepers
Petitioner: Inverntors, Scouts
No Wildkeepers or Skirmish

95,000 KI for both.

Started release night on me, about 1 week later on mule. Used all tags provided, no glitches.

[Reg]

I got 9 completed quest, 7 completed assignement disciple in pioneer's & peacekeeper's, petioner in inventory. Was 100k until today where i used 3 more tags and now they are 95k

[Sechs]

It almost makes me think it's not related to rank but to the number of total imprimaturs you have spent

[Gwynplaine]

The update notes say it is based on FAME which is some collective total of quests + assignments, not rank. Assignments are quests so just think of them all as quests:

The prices of the key items that Dimmian in Eastern Adoulin (E-6) sells now vary depending on the fame a player accrues from completing coalition assignments and Adoulin-related quests.

[dasva]

So you think that even with the highest rank of fame available that it still might be keeping track of fame?

[Kurstone]

Sorry if this was answered already but if each assignment counts as a quest, does that mean if you use 3 prime one by one you're getting 3x as much fame as if using 3 at once? That means one at a time is the best way to accumulate fame

Not sure if it's even been proven imps add to fame. I got to max rank of fame without doing one. But if they do it might not matter. Not all quests give the same amount of fame. Hell even the same quest can give different amounts depending on how you do it. So it's probably the same
