Gems Visible When Being Carried?!?!?

[_Arwen_]

Clarification: gems visible on world map when carried.

NGD what is this? Please tell me this is a bug or I just missed the change in the change log because if you just snuck this in without telling anyone... Such a major change to the core mechanics of a game should not be made without telling the players. I'm not so upset about the change itself but that it was made and we weren't told. Invasion mechanics have been a huge mystery to most people as various bugs and changes have been made but not properly reported to the community.

If this was a bug, sorry for getting upset.

If this was a change and I (and others)

If this was a secret change... TELL US NEXT TIME!


Sincerely,
Arwen

Agree w Arwen. This has ruined invasion. Also a post in "Gameplay Problems". Please note in change log next time.

Oops, I must have been posting when that one showed up. Merge them if you'd like.

Other thread is here: http://regnumonline.com.ar/forum/showthread.php?t=67277


P.S. - I wasn't even involved in the invasion (it was Ignis vs Alsius)

This surely has to be a "BUG". Tell me please NGD we are correct thinking this is a bug....
If it is not a bug, the game is surely going to be no fun any more and you will lose Ximerin buying players. This game is based on strategy and tactics of one realm against another. Gems being visible when invading realms are in possesion destroys all planning and any advantage of surprise. You will see players losing interest in Regnum and I fear a mass exodus of Xim buyers looms on the horizon for NGD.
NGD let us play the game with planning and tactics as if in a real realm struggle. We do not need to see gems as they progress to the gate during invasion.
Hundreds of players agree.....NO GEM GPS

Regnum is loosing favor among many...........

Well, some times ago Alsius complained about us hiding our gem at efe, saying it was not fair, and that it pretty screwed their magnificently planned invasion, and blablabla, and that gem should return to pedestal or be shown on map...

Conclusion: /blame Alsius

Correction blame the people who hide their gems aka all 3 realms, have done it

Thats not a bug, NGD implemented it after the huge "traffic test" on Amun during the balance update tests. The traffic test included the "walking gem" so NGD could see how it reacts with a highly amount of players.
We had to kill/protect Ponter at Trelle beach and bring the gem into a realm. At that time you could first see the gem moving.

and whats wrong with hiding the gem its one of the better parts of invasion the ability to run off with the gem and hide if you get it back tbh this will ruin invasions for every realm who cant get a zerg with the spawn at gate possible its so easy for a defending realm to get to their gate and with gem locators they know exactly where you are if you finally break through the gate and lost most of your force the enemy realm knows exactly where you are you cant hide or slip away unnoticed by taking the long route with whoever made it out alive with you you might aswell sit down and give them the gem back

might be different on RA they have more players to work with

Correction. Blame the people that were moaning about hiding gems.
