I have news of the upcoming (long awaited) update.. :D

Hi all.. I had a little chat with David Dobson on facebook this morning, and I have good news for you all.. I cannot copy all the chat, but it starts out with him saying they expect the "big august update" to go through on tuesday (the 9th)..

Now follows the chat about it:

Zume: yeah.. but next week sounds awesome.. apart from me not being home exactly on tuesday.. hehe..
oh.. a friend said something about you having trouble with getting the bp's rdy for that update.. is that the case??

David: nope
all will be updated
new economy for Arkadia, will be much better

Zume: that sounds fantastic.. gonna be a long week.. Thanks for clarifying that..

David: no problem
I'm excited to see the changes through, the economy can finally get moving along properly without needing imports from Calypso

Zume: will our muscle oil problem be fixed too?(and lvl numbers on small mobs)

David: I hope so, thats an MA thing, but I have asked them to look into it
maybe on the new mobs that are coming

Zume: okay.. cause it makes no sense that a puny on calypso is lvl 2-3-4, has 10 hp, 10 sweat, aggro and hit for up to 10, when a puny on arkadia is lvl 10 and has 10 hp, 10 sweat, does not aggro and hit for only 3..

David: lvl system is a bit screwed atm
again it's an MA thing to sort out, I have made them aware that it's not working right

_________________________________________________________________________________________
The inevitable is just around the corner, and Arkadia will finally be able to rise to its full potential as a new planet.. Cant wait to see how the bp's gonna look, the new mobs, the appartments.. Only thing i forgot to ask specifically was if texture bp's will be included.. I hope so!!

 

woot!
thx for sharing

can't rep ya, must spread

 

Nice Info thx Zume

 

Did he say new mobs?
Maybe its time to take a trip to Arkadia then...

 

any idea how big the update will be?

 

No idea.. But there will surely be some content.. if all they promised during the Q&A i have a thread about, and what they have promised on here too is coming as he said, its alot.. Blueprint revamp, ore distribution change, appartments.. stuff like that..

 

Puck is giddy.

 

ohhhh the suspense!

 

Halfway through my one wrist already

 

opcorn:

 

it's great to have confirmation on that august update,
thanks for sharing zume.
and as many fellow arkadians, i too am very excited about this new VU.
it will open many new oppertunities for the market

 

David mentioned in a previous post that there would be at least 2 new mobs introduced to Arkadia, if my memory servers me correctly. I truly do hope that this update helps Arkadia, I have made Arkadia my home and I am dieing up here. I need a fast infusion of FUN and some peds would be nice as well

 

Sounds like great news! Thanks for sharing.

 

Counting the seconds here , can't wait .

 

zzzZzzzZzzzZzzz...what? Oh....MA does that. So no changes. zzzzzzz

 

Actuall i think he said 3 new mobs in the Q&A.. 2 smaller and 1 bigger mob..

Bjorn: i must disappoint.. I am not sure he has promised us texture blueprints along with this update.. I am hoping tho, as the rest of the Arkadian population..

 

Thx for info Zume

 

I have some Oro skins stacked up, plz give us textures BP's )

 

I haven't played for weeks now, but I will be there on Tuesday .

You are legendary Dave, I wish we could clone you so all games could have this much support .
