Important! Planet Arkadia Update 2017.1 Release Notes (28th March 2017)

The following are changes that come with Planet Arkadia Update 2017.1. This information is provided, to the extent that the IFN and ACA are at liberty to discuss at this time. Log in today and check things out for yourself, to discover how the changes affect you!



IFN Rank Clothing

The IFN have released the new IFN Rank Clothing range for all IFN Ranks in 3 variants (Arctic / Desert / Jungle). The Beret and Jumpsuit can be claimed at the following IFN Firebases from the IFN Clothing NPC.

• Indomitable Firebase
• Victorious Firebase
• Valiant Firebase

The first set will be issued for free according to Rank for one of the 3 variations and additional sets of any camo can be bought at a 1 to 1 TT ratio with Carabok Hide (15 Hides) at the IFN Clothing NPCS.
A Jumpsuit can be exchanged to a new rank once promoted at any of the IFN Clothing NPCS for no additional cost and must be fully repaired to exchange.

The old IFN Clothing is no longer being issued during the IFN Recruit mission chain.


Bug fixes

The IFN has updated the censors to the security door @ Dauntless firebase to ensure it remains locked.

 

Sweet!

I got myself something to do today

Spoiler: The looks of the female outfit in potato quality.

Re-reading the post I am also really happy I finished the recruitment mission a few days ago so I can rock the old and the new set.

 

Gonna go for the artic one

 

It would be great if the IFN clothing NPC would respond... Anyone else having this problem?

 

All went fine here. Do you have any rank acquired, or got the mission at all?

 

WOC2 Male set, really like how the rank matches the ID card good job guys !

 

I need to say, brilliant designs. Was waiting for them ranked uniforms since i've heard about such plans back in day, and i am not disapointed what so ever! Awsome work a-team!:biggrin2:

 

Its good to see the ranked uniforms.
I still recall instructors rambling endlessly about the perils of wearing any indication of rank on the battlefield though.
I'll therefore happily keep my old uniform so as not to attract unwanted attention in the form of axes and bullets from oratan and smugglers outside of IFN bases, and keep the new one for parades and ceremonies.

 

Thanks A-Team. Nice job on the uniforms and rank badges, great to feel part of the Ark story

 

Will be looking forward to grabbing mine soon

 

I still know nothing about ranks and aren't exactly a clothes collector, but these are very nice indeed. The design shows great attention to detail, just love the shells. The boots are a compromise within existing constraints I understand, appreciate that they won't collide with armour. Thanks!

 

Was this my fault? I liked sneaking down there...someone must have noticed.

 

Umm, take that back, it does. You can leave your hat on... :biggrin2:

 

Yes looks like I didn't had Arkadian passport and rank, however what I would like to see in future updates is a automatic response from mission bots. They could respond to interaction with explanation what I need to do or why I am unable to continue this mission, because looking from a new player perspective it might be challenging to continue from one mission step to another if you missed something in between.

 

This is certainly true.
Since the Ark new player mission chain takes you all over the planet is is very hard to figure out where to pick up the next mission once started. I have spent a lot of time scouring ark forums and release notes and comparing my completed mission record to those of newer players to try and figure out where they need to go for the next mission.
Some feedback on where to resume the new player mission chain from IFN NPC's or even the IFN terminal would prevent a lot of frustration for many players. This would be a 'go and talk to <whoever> at <whereever>' mission offered to anyone who has not started or completed the mission chain.
I personally found the Ark starter mission chain a lot better than the those on Caly, but it is not obvious where to start if you are not born on the planet. This advisory mission should start by telling migrants that they can speak to the passport officer at new player arrivals about a passport without making it blatantly obvious that he is running a less legitimate sideline job.

 

Uniforms are cool, I especially like the beret.
However they make my bum look big in them

 

Nothing wrong with a big bum tbh

 

There shows whose ava is in line with rl gender and whose isnt

 

So does Viceroy armour I hate my big hips when I wear it
