My Story
Courage, Determination, Experience, and Stupidity compacted into a short passionate novel. It sucks but is an unedited and raw story extracted from an Oro Finantic!
​

WARNING! Before you skim through or skip this post completely I hope you take a moment in all the business and hustle of Entropia Universe and enjoy a heartfelt and passionate story from one of your own.

Also, DO NOT SKIP the Youtube videos. They add a lot of feel to the story! Thanks for reading!

It was February 18th and was a sunny hot day and the sweat was heavy on my brow. I had the mind of Mort (from Madagascar) and the determination of Carl Fredricksen (from Up). I'm not sure how but it was really working for me today. Completely obvious to any misfortune or luck I continued to use my high powered laser carbine to burn through the thick skinned Oros.

My armor was nearly torn to shreds I continued hammering them with my rifle. Death was always close and waiting for me to make a mistake. But I continued to drop one after another. My weapon and gear began to fail me. But the sound of trumpets rang again and again in my ears. On the third trumpet I knew my weapon was spent and my armor had failed.

I charged the herd of Oros with my bare hands!..."ARGH!!"...

This is all I remember!

I recall 200 kills and they happened in a 1 hour and 35 minute span:


I woke up later with a faint beeping sound. I knew immediately what had happened. My charge must have failed. There must be something I can do to better equip myself in the field. I took out my stack of books and skimmed through the pages. ..."Amps....Weapons....Tables....Armor hmm maybe...nah"... After skimming over my blueprints over and over I sighed uninterested and unsure what to do next.

..."I have no idea what to do! Well, I love boots! hmm...YES! I will make so many boots that I will have no idea what to do with them!"...

I clambered over my books hastily pulled my Trailblazer Boots Blueprint and gathered all the materials I could muster for them..."Let's see that will be 6,000 Aarkan Polymer and 6,000 Generic Leather and 2,000 Balancing Agent!"...

I was so excited I was having a hard time focusing and wasn't doing a good job. Though as I was working about half way through I noticed something..."Wait a second! It can't be! So that is how you make Trailblazer Long Boots!"... I had discovered a new Blueprint!(Trailblazer Long Boots (F) Blueprint) ..."Oh I can't wait to try on a new pair of boots!"...

I quickly reorganized my supplies and purchased even more so that I could make enough boots to suffocate in this small room I was working in. My Mort instincts kicked back in and I was humming away then the machine started shaking and the trumpets started sound. The magic swirls came and I couldn't contain myself but start to dance! Before I could even speak the swirl continued and I jumped with joy!..."These boots are so musical I love them!"...and again another trumpet followed by a swirl surrounded me!..."These boots are sooo COZY!"...(Like in the Croods)I continued crafting until there wasn't any materials left. Then sadly I went over to the recycle machine and cashed them in for PEDs...But I kept one cozy pair for myself!

Here is screenshot of the 3 globals in 56 seconds:


The morning I woke up to the alert of an event I was registered for..."Oh I totally forgot about this event!"...I was ill-prepared and unsure what I had gotten into. I accepted the invitation and upon arriving at the event I realized I had made a mistake. I should have used the Teleporter and not the event summon teleporter..."Ugh!"...I was surrounded by Mutated Oro Stalkers. A creature much more powerful than the ones I encountered yesterday. I could barely survive and there is no way I could even kill one of these!

One after another they started to pick up on my scent and started chasing me!..."Oh crap! HELP!"...I ran around looking for anyone that could help me! Some time passed and I realized I was still alive..."Why am I not dead? I should be dead already!"...I looked behind me and realized that these mutated Oros seemed to have some sort of defect. They couldn't run and seemed to move in what seemed to be a fast walk.

I spotted a Teleporter with a Turret by it...."Yes! I can make it!"...I ran with what energy I had left. As I neared the turret with a very large tail of creatures behind me I heard a voice..."woah! woah! woah! Stop there!"...A guy in very shiny armor stood in my way holding a gun and looked like he was going to shoot me..."What! Why! I'm being chased! The only way I can survive is if I take them to that turret!"...He pushed me aside and began firing, dodging, and reloading at a rate I had never seen before!..."Wow a real Arkadian Veteran!"...

I noticed that even though he was moving so quickly they seemed to still cause some lacerations to him..."I can't just stand by and watch him take so much bodily harm. I must help him!"...I pulled my Vivo out and began lending him first-aid between shots. I never thought I would enjoy healing so much! Once again my Mort instincts kicked in and I found myself jumping around and healing all the while singing my indistinct Mort tune aloud..."la la la"...

2 hours later after the event I felt completely exhausted. He rewarded me for his help and paid for my expenses..."Aww! He isn't just heroic...he is sweet too!" I blushed and took the gift. As I walked away he said "I noticed your weapon and agility while you were helping me. I think I have a technique you could use to kill these yourself...Though it will cost you a lot of pain!" He explained the technique to me and I decided to give it a try.

.."Ok here it goes! I hope this pays out!"...

I began firing my Amped Laser Carbine at maximum range. I held my aim steady and backed up as quickly as I could. Behind me was a cliff that jetted over the ocean. I could only keep this up for so long before I would trapped on the edge.

Eventually, the stalker had reached me sliced me quite nicely with it's extremely sharp blades...I found myself revived only a hundred and fifty meters from him..."Perfect" I took up a good position and finished him off!

By the sixth kill I was deep into my song and dance and could only feel the heat escaping from my carbine and hear the indistinct Mort song from my lips...Then all of a sudden I heard the undeniable sound trumpets followed by an mesmerizing swirl!

I had done it again!..."Wow! This isn't the reason I wake up every morning. But...I'll take it! Thank you Dark Knight Island! Thank you big Blue Mutated Oro! Thank you Cobra for your care for these creatures!"...

Here is a memoir of my Mutated Oro Story:


2 days passed before there was another story to be told here.

Over the past couple days I had obtained one of my new favorite blueprints: ACA-AS Civilian Uniform Jungle Cap (F) Blueprint This story was born out of my interest to provide citizens of Arkadia with protection for the face from the sun. I sold hat after hat for a very reasonable price. Then a thought came to me...

..."I wonder if I can craft the perfect hat!"...

I took the remaining materials I had and decided to go for all or nothing. Attempt after attempt failed. I just seemed to not have what it takes to succeed. Though I was determined and kept trying...Then, suddenly that beautiful rare sound and swirls came and paid me a visit!..."Oh I like you swirly and your trumpeting friend! You should come more often and play for me!"...

I don't think they liked me talking to them in that tone of voice because this would be the last swirl I would see:


I also want to congratulate Murkalael on his Oro Globals! I love hunting those Oros and nice to see someone else hitting globals too!

Also SallyBridges, it looks like not only did you get a nice Key Global but you successfully crafted your first 4 clicks! Very Nice! I recently did a run on crafting at 95% success rate and returned 25% success. I'm not sure if they changed it so you just get a bunch of Near Success now but looks like you had a successful run there!

Note on the edits:
It was really late at night and after realizing that even though I put some effort behind my original post it wasn't written the right way. So I decided to think about what was going through my head when I was in the moment and I tailored the stories to fit what happened.

P.S.
I embedded clips for reference to the character references I make in the story.

 

Yes crafting is a bit up and down and been crafting over 10k clicks on explosives and not a single global yet but its still a fun activity to do and a way of getting more skills - also looting some additional blue prints good job we get underground as aditional stroage all my duplicate components can go down there for now explosicve 1 qr 100 and 2 qr 98 now so thats a fair few crafts ;P

Had some previose crafts before running the keys but it was still a nice surprise and thought i would post something different this month.

 

I just felt like posting this one. I've had many Halix kills, but this is one of the few that looks mysterious and cool for a 10ped loot.

 

Thanks for the posts and stories everyone,I'm loving it...



You guys have put me in a bit of a conundrum though...

It seemed fairest to have everyone use only one screenshot but I do actually like the multiples that are connected somehow and have a story to go with it so I'm leaning towards allowing the whole post as an entry and not the way I had it.

What do you guys think?


P.S. Lizzy,I see what you mean,there is something I like about that shot.

 

Hmmm,I was going to do something like this in game as a bonus as its my birthday 'sometime' this month

Just wasnt sure what rules to set,whether it should be open to all or if I should set agility caps etc.
Maybe we can get together and make this happen anyway?

Let me know

 

Your contest, your rules, but just my 2 cents, since you asked...

I kinda feel that the rule should be one post only per person... now if that post contains one picture or one hundred pictures, a story that comes with them or not... should not matter... they still have one entry, and, ultimately, people vote for the post anyway.

 

That's a feature, there's nothing special on a 11ped oro even if was my first global, but for new players 3 globals on a day that's something special. Not for the value but for the rarity and dificulty of the ocasion on low level mobs. And then your rules, but I would allow as long they're linked somehow.

 

I have a question about these contests now that we're running the third (or fourth?!) one.
Rule 6... What stops anyone from posting the same screenshot each month?
For instance, I've only had 1 global (not counting my previous life) so far. I posted it in the very first monthly contest. Theoretically, I can post that each time to see if my chances improve.

 

Yeah I have to confess this did recently occur to me but then I realised I'd never be able to remember what was posted and what wasnt but I think a screenshot should only be used once.
I'm gonna have to put a rule in but leave it 'self-policed' I think.

Thanks for bringing it up but dont worry that you havent globalled.
It doesnt have to be a global it can be any loot screen at all.
The entries are getting a little creative now and people are playing with it a bit which I think is great so just post anything that you think is worthy.

 

Sounds like a bit of a plan to me and did you Say Birthday then that must require a bit of a party as well

The Event list allows for numerouse settings to be done so sure we can work something out ;P and will pm you ingame.

 

Right As were now allowed a story and multiple Screenies then I might have to have a new entry - if not a new entry then we may as well show off or attempt to.

All 3 Proffessions - All Globalled - Same Day - 29 December 2014 - My entropia Life profile is public as well ;D

SO this started of as a Little Trip in to the Toxic PVP Area and going for a Mine - I Had a Known PKer whack me with a rocker Launcher and so was instantly dead with about 35 ped of ores and stuff on me - thats the risk you take when you go in so as there were pkers in the area i though oh well stay in the area and carry on mining.



SO 160 Ped Mining thats a proffession i dont do often and so went back to hunting



This Shoud be a Tiriak Guardian 50 ped - dont you hate lag some times ! ! !


So crafting some lower weapons as there is a piron pbr shortage killing me at the moment - I decided to hunt some slightly smaller than normal mobs for me and got a nice Tiriak Guardian.




And Complete it with a Lesser Elysai Crafting - I had a small amount of lyst from mining and so decided 40 attempts on a craft might be a laugh good job as well Swirlie Time Again ;P

 

Happy advanced birthday, Jod!

You sure you not a hobbit? They were the only ones that I saw giving gifts or arranging treasure hunts on their birthdays.

 

This was exciting! And SIDE Swirls!
Apologies for Low quality gfx

 

I'll patiently wait until I get a new one. Expect a post close to the Winter Holidays!
Just wanted to know the stand on this "issue".

 

Hi again everyone,

So after working my ass off on the Oratan Lancer event (which wasn't as fun or as profitable as the last one due to lower loot levels, no looted items (again), and a crap load of angry winers that just didn't shut-up about our use of melee, poor loot, their wasted peds, "Ted", and just being genuine asses) I started working again on my IFN Hadraadas / Find the head plate for 5$, mission. Since I bought a new sword for the Oratan event, I've decided to see if it worked as well on Hadraadas.

Hopefully this is the first of many this month and also, A-Team and MA only knows, I hope to show my first discovery in 11 years ingame on Ark Forum

Updated Submission:



Cheers!

P.S.

Here's a couple additions already:


Also tried Mining Mania:



Also had a 100 ped globy during Jod's event on 5$'s LA which placed me in #16, but seems EL Client wasn't cooperating for the screeny

 

BTW Sally, where could I get a Lesser Elysia BP? Those are real easy components to get and would help me on my tailoring skills so I might start having better success crafting Reilly Boots.

Thanks!

 

Yeah I have to be honest mate I did about 15 or so hours and chose to do something else instead also for pretty much the same reasons you mentioned.
We need to get sally to hassle for more smugglers I think.they always performed much better though their loot needs a tweak too (they seem to drop a lot of (L) melee amps which not many people want).



But Grats!
