Are there any beacon missions or something similar on Arkadia?

    I was just curious if this system is implemented there too or not.

    No beacons. Dave said instances will be implemented within the framework of the treasure hunting theme but we dont have any details. First bits of treasure hunting due in June.

    MA is only kind enough to share others work among planets.. They are not willing to share their own stuff from the motherworld.

    That's not entirely accurate.. Dobson said he didn't want to do beacons because that's a Calypso thing and he wanted Arkadia instances to be different and unique. He chose not to implement beacons. He could if he wanted.

    you are both wrong and right in a way, Dobson said he didn't want beacons obviously. But then he still couldn't do it even if he wanted as they are still waiting for the tools to make instances, which if I'm not completely wrong he said something about this summer or soon that they would get the tools and then tie it in with treasure hunting for example.
    Maybe Dave himself will see this and clarify...

    So to OP no, it's not and I think it was in Isclays interview he talked about it, could have been Zume's too tho

    Ah, right... I remember that, now. Sorry, thanks for the clarification. Think it was something along the lines of MindArk still doing some testing on the system?

    Well... I kind of expected that there will be no beacons... but on similar way, they can have instances that would loot an item in mining, then at a location it would open an instance, then hunters could loot some nice stuff crafters can use...

    It can be Oratan HQ attack or something.. In the story line and all.

    I am convinced they will do something along those lines. And I look forward to see it.
