Open Beta: Saga of Ryzom

[Jim]

Hi

I thought this a good read from a Ryzon forum :D

1) Where are the classes?  I mean like Melee fighter, Ranged Fighter, Attack Buffer ect.  Will these all be implemented into the commercial release.

It is a skill based game so there are no classes.  As you advance through each skill tree (magic, fighting, crafting...) you can further specialize

2) The world in which beta is taking place.  Is that just a world created just for beta?  If it is then I think that that is pretty cool.

The beta map is one small part of the Fyros lands.  Each race will have its own lands.

3) I noticed that there are race armor in the game.  But EVERYONE can wear them.  Will this change in the game?

yes, but you are correct that racial restrictions are not implemented yet

4) I was wondering how factions will work?

each player will get a reputation with the different factions in the game depending on the actions you take.  Guilds should set policies so they can build up fame with certain factions, which will lead to certain guild quests.  Fame will be added soon based on the news yesterday.

5) Can you advance past level 20?  Is there a quest for this

You can only advance to 20 in the first tier of each skill (ie. magic 20).  Then you start advancing in the specialized skills under magic (offensive, defensive, self) up to a potential of level 50.  Then each of those skills break out into greater specialization (offensive>elemental, affliction) till level 100.  The max advancement in a particular branch is 250, but there are many many branches so it could take very long to max them all if that were your goal.
