Planet Arkadia Update - Release 16.1.

loving the changes . i'd like to note that the missions here, the way they are set up, is bad. i keep finding myself hunting a mob that i forgot to take the mission for. not just once or twice, it's every frickn time. after i complete a part of it i go back to the big tv(? why) and usually forget why i went back. and im sure you know all about the map positions not updating to new mob positions. i think you can get rid of that completely if you can get MA to incorporate the entropia wiki into the game.

i love the way the smuggler hides progression works. of course you know thats broken(had to dance very oddly to get in like seriously oddly) but i'm glad i didn't have to open all the warehouses(i only have 2 so far).

the camera inside alpha terminal building has got to stop going into the ceiling. and the flickering lights are horribly maddening. can you please make alternative places to do business with all terminals, no flickering lights thats populated with real people( like twin or quarry but not like like lol).

please make stores and or appartments available and mobs drop shopkeepers maybe.

side note: hoping to tame my scarius ocrazio cortex pet before that mob is out of politics.

on another hand: i dislike the way ark mobs have all oils. it makes it harder to hunt for them(animal oils). hadraada should have only eye oil for instance and kadra only liver. yuka should be only spleen and huon should be only adrenal for examples.

also while im requesting everything in one post. please make the client loader not call/link to facebook. i'm seriously against them knowing if and when i log in to EU while i'm at arkadia or ark moon. you are not gaining anything from that. placing a link would be more acceptable than actually connecting to a facebook webpage. this is not to mention the clientloaders forced use of microsoft explorer(which i also have problems with) but please take this request into consideration. it's my biggest pet peeve in the entire game and theres a lot of peeves.

thanks for reading this. i am considering the big move to ark moon. that stupid caly ah is really a monopoly. more to come, i'll stay in touch.

 

apparently smugglers are working in uderground. because the smugglers mission on the moon is bugged. i don't know if i feel sorrier for MA or the people losing money when the smuggler mobs disappear before a reset. seems an aweful lot like MA purposefully does this. but the hunters there that item split with nubees because 'they get the item drops' deserve the karma afaik. but MA should really start treating planet partners like fkng partners ffs.

 

O/t but since we're here just now, I forgot to reply when you asked this on PCF and can't find the thread again quickly: There is a relatively easy solution for this. If you're not using Internet Explorer as your regular browser anyway (like me), you can go into internet options, advanced settings where there's a long list of checkboxes, and deselect the showing of images (the little facebook icon is the culprit which tells their server where you're coming from and everything else it can grab upon loading) as well as anything you can find to do with scripts or styles or plugins or resources not on the original page's server. This will allow the client loader only to call the naked html directly from MA and none of the funny stuff it is laden with. (Not sure how this translates to Windows 10, I won't find out until forced to upgrade when support for any previous version ends. But with this motivation you probably know how to tame it already. On 7 you can even start the game without client loader, just create a shortcut for the client itself (Entropia.exe in bin32 or bin64) and add ' --run' to the command line.)

 

the flickering can be fixed by cleaning your broken shader cache. sadly mindark removed this option in clientloader, but you can do it by deleting all folders but dynamic_content in your public_users_data folder. better check twice before you have to download all planet data again!

 

what in the hell is going on on the moon? so i came back twice now. oompas are nowhere to be found. oompa warhounds nowhere. sicarius gone. found some gmcs and sicarius commanders but the oompatowns are abandoned. all i can think is MA was mad at Ark devs and stopped the respawning. Or the moon deeds were paying out too good so they had to slow down the outflow of deeds in the store. or wtf lo. gees i wonder when the moon will be finished. but when i was on rock today it occured to me that none of the planets are actually finished. beta forever.

and thanks much san will try...

 

Mechs are back home underground. I killed few last night. Loot sucks, but I suppose it will get better in time. Thanks for that. They just belong in the abyss, no need to mess a good thing up.

 

Bump for a new year with no news on this
