    Important Note on the Underground Area

    The underground area is not yet available, we strongly recommend not downloading it as there is no advantage doing so prior to its release - you will still need to download the final content when it is released at a later date.


    Balance Changes


    • Oro and Oweko aggression reduced slightly.
    Issues Fixed

    • Fixed ASI-10 sound and particle effects.
    • Creature speeds have been corrected to match their intended values. Some will now move faster, some much faster, some about the same, and some will be slower.
    • CAP Series damage types corrected (total damage unchanged).
    • Jori no longer sink in to the terrain and other objects, which was making them difficult to loot in certain circumstances.
    • When claiming your weapon from the starter area weapon shelf you now only have to interact with the shelf once if you have previously aborted the weapon collection mission.
    • Turrets at Python, Mamba, Cobra and Taipan Digsites, and two Turrets at 8 Coins, are now operational.
    • Spare desk at Relentless Firebase Academy packed away.
    • The Oweko which were annoying the Archaeological Society's Missing Intern #2 have been chased away a short distance.
    • Planet Arkadia's name now shows on Social Media Interconnect services (e.g. Facebook, Twitter).
    • Achievements now have Icons.
    General Changes

    • Beladoth have wiped out some of the Halix near Resolute Firebase.
    • Oratan have abandoned their positions near Dauntless Firebase Academy.
    • Oro have been observed encroaching on Dauntless Firebase Academy.
    • Beladoth have displaced the Halix near Dauntless Firebase.
    • Beladoth have been observed encroaching on Courageous Firebase.
    • Waterfalls and Waterways around 8 Coins HQ have been improved.
    • Quarry added near Celeste Harbour for newer players to explore.
    • The Training Area Gate Guards have been convinced to move over to the side.
    • When entering the planets atmosphere from space you will now arrive above Celeste Harbour.
    • CAP-101(L) added to the Trade Terminal.
    • Some Outposts have received proper names.
    • High Performance Clouds added.
    Known Issues

    • Weapon sounds can vary from shot to shot on some weapons.
    • Archaeological society does not like people sitting on some of their chairs and sofas.
    • Limited Blueprint Book cannot be coloured or textured.
    • Some types of eyewear can appear outside or on top of the Armour Helmet.
    • Skin from some face/head shapes can be seen when wearing Armour Helmet.
    • Televators in buildings may link to the building next door in rare cases.

    Not bad going :) I like this vu, apart from the scan nerf :mad:, but that's not in your hands, I know.

    I'd love to see new mobs this year still, I know it's early times, just saying :surrender:

    Looks like only minor issues still exist IMO. And perhaps some balancing still going on. Does this mean some bigger stuff may be coming very shortly?

    To bad for you that it still links to www.entropiauniverse.com and not to this planet as it does for all the other planets. (at least on twitter)

    Very good changes! Nice work A-Team. A bit surprised by the cloud update. Was getting used to no clouds. I'm guessing (w/o logging in yet) that they can still be disabled...

    Can't wait to visit the Quarry. :)

    Well we wee told a update was coming, and here it is..for those of you that didn't get what you want yet,"To be continued" seems to work here, so maybe a big update with more serious stuff on it after the vacations are over..lol. At least it seems the geology of the planet hasn't changed yet, I'll see later for sure.

    would be nice to have a mob smaller than Halix young and bigger than Carabok Puny to sweat :) but like the updates. Or even Carabok Puny to have 20 sweat not 10 :) :)

    I made a thread about it but maybe I should just post it here.
    Did they just put 5% taxes on all LAs or was that always there?

    What is a "high performance" cloud as opposed to just a regular cloud?

    ...Does it have like, an Edelbrock on it?

    The query is whether MA is allowing the A-Team updates through. The A-Team had indicated that Arkadian update patches are bug free, not surprised with the high standard of work. But I suspect MA is embarrassed with the poor quality of patches coming from MA studios.
    We just have to wait until August for the big Update here.
