    I don't regreat emptying my storage from where i was playing before and filling the arkadia storage. The facts your presenting honest expectations and not just trying to hide from reality tells me alot. I have been reading alot of your posts and I am frankly impressed. This is just simple info but as you probably know we (the players) are often starved for even the simplest info such as you provided. Thanks.

    While I am disappointed that the 31st of May rumor is false. I am elated that David has come her to clear it up. This type of interaction with the player base speak VOLUMES!

    Keep talking to us David. We're listening.

    Looks like these Arkadia folks are much more involved with their players than Calypso - responding on forums and all... Maybe I should just pack up and move.

    I already packed my things

    actually someone who listens and interacts is a new experience for me in this universe.
    The spawns are way more relaxing.

    i was on calypso yesterday and i didnt know how fast to come back.
    and yup, first bugs, then new things, keep this up and we have a winner here.

    Just wanted to give my feather here:)

    greetings from a first day import Arkadia colonist

    In light of new information treasure hunting is unlikely to work like this.

    Lee posted on another thread David said underground is at 8 coins. Also RT Q&A by ND stated beacons/dungeons are unlikely to be in the near future.

    So it's most likely treasure hunting is just a different resource. So now we would have enmatter, ore, treasure categories...

    With Underground being at 8 coins seems more like a new area like Hell is on RT or CP is on calypso.

    for treasure i think it would be nice to have hidden items all over the place, like dig sites and crash sites, hidden coves under water, digging around ruins for long disguarded "junk" that can be backwards engineered into cool items :D

    idk thats how i envisioned it, indiana Jones type things smacks more of tomb raiding then treasure hunting :D give me a metal detector any day and il walk for days to find something lol

    Ditto on the great responsiveness by Arkadia team. Even the slightest bit of info shows they care about us in the community. I hope other planet partners are watching and learning.

    not relevant, completely irrespective of current topic, but here is advertising treasure (http://www.eatliver.com/i.php?n=7299)

    back on topic, it would be great to know 100% how this is all gona work, the treasure hunting on this world has to be the single most appealing fact for me, knowing in moments i could become rich beyond my dreams by luck :D

    Don't hold your breath for"rich beyond dreams" that's the kind of thinking that made me a miner waiting on a level XXVII hit...for 8 years now. So, good luck.

    Hi Cyrus,

    sorry to disturb you. BUT...

    ... after forgetting my birthday present some time ago, I wanted to remember you of an official statement, you made a YEAR ago (11-09-2010, 11:17 )...


    Hunting, mining and interacting - check
    Treasure Hunting? - nope
    exploring ruins? - not really

    So, when is Treasure Hunting coming? Since half a year we got NO INFO at all about it! Oh, yeah... "mid of august there is coming a BIG thing most likely" you said to me.

    I'm still waiting...

    Regards,
    a sad Fox

    I know you are looking for a statement from Cyrus or Dave but to bring you up to date with the latest info...

    This is from November 3rd:

    Apart from whatever the PP devs need to do, I have previously understood that at least part of the system is to depend on the instancing system to be introduced in mid December:

    I suspect there is a limit to the amount of development that can be done until this PP Devs have their hands on the instance system.

    Hope this helps while you wait for more official info.

    Regards,
    KikkiJikki

    Sorry, Kikki, but "underground dungeon" has NOTHING to do with Treasure Hunting. And again, if you read your quotes carefully, you'll see, it has nothing to do with mining or Treasure Hunting, just again with hunting and killing. That's not my way.

    Just "dungeon"... Why the hell do we have to go into underground prisons and kill whatever there is?

    I have hoped, that Arkadia would be different, but here too it is just killing, killing and killing... oh, and killing, of course.

    Where is the exploring and the working together? And I mean NOT the team hunting, where once promising colonists gang together to murder someone or something.

    Arkadia was announced as the Treasure Hunting planet from the start. But now they think I would be happy to slaughter and murder to get some PED? Pardon me???
    This has nothing to do with Treasure Hunting, where you work with your brain and where you need knowledge and intuition. Where you ask other to help you with a translation or a step of conservating an artifact.

    I thought, I could be a researcher here...

    Hi Fox,

    That anouncement is talking about instancing which is one element Ark Devs said would be involved. So to deliver the complete package they need MA to finish developing that capability. Just how Ark Devs intend to leverage that capability is another thing altogether and the details are not known by me. I've just brought you up to date with the latest news.

    I don't know if Treasure Hunting, implemented here, will meet your expectations. I certainly hope so. But it can only use the platform capabilities that MA deliver. Apart from the recently implemented token rewards for missions, I don't see any other new and relevant capabilities in the pipeline.

    Regards,
    KikkiJikki

    Treasure Hunting is the overall theme of the planet, this means that we will use more than one system to bring Treasure Hunting to life on Planet Arkadia. Treasure Hunting will encapsulate:
    The back story and ongoing story development
    Real life Treasure in loot - we have had Alienware gear in loot almost non stop since launch
    Treasure Hunting system using the finder tools - this is a work in progress, date for release is not yet confirmed but will be in 2012
    In-game events - we have had events of varying types running almost constantly since launch, we have events planned for the future that will have a more Treasure Hunting feel to them.
    Instance system - as Arkadia rolls out instances some will be a fight your way through style instance, others will be more focused on treasure hunting using puzzles and/or the finder tool.
    Mission system - story based missions will gradually be rolled out during the course of 2012 and beyond.

    It's going to take time and it's really up to each individual whether you get involved with Arkadia (and support the development) or wait until systems come out. The team here are working as fast as we can to bring content into game. I think all new planets face the same challenge by being part of EU, in that existing players expect them to launch with a planet matching or exceeding what has taken almost 10 years to build on Calypso. Arkadia only began production a little over 1 year ago, I think most will agree the planet has come a long way in a very short time.

    I hope that clears things up a bit, and a big thanks for everyone who is being patient and supporting the team here.
    Dave
