'Culling the Oratan's food supply seems to be having minimal impact on their activities' said Commodore Harvir to the leader of his ground forces.

'Maybe so, but it's certainly allowing our scientists to gather some good data' replied Captain Chiharo.

'True enough. Alright, we'll give the colonists a system to keep a proper count of their kills and reward them for their ongoing efforts.'

Satisfied with progress on the colony's main threat, Harvir had been able to put some more time into economic matters. He wanted to be out there with the troops, building the colony, but some things needed to come first.​

Important Note on the Underground Area

The underground area is not yet available, we strongly recommend not downloading it as there is no advantage doing so prior to its release - you will still need to download the final content when it is released at a later date.


New Content

• New Creature
  • A new Creature called the Scoria has been found roaming around in the northern areas of 8 Coins.

Don't know what others are thinking about, but personally quite unimpressed on the new IFN challenge mobs, just from oOo jump to Madana, HP from 50 >420, it is a very very big gap if you ask me, there should be at least one new IFN challenge between Oro and Madana, hope a-team just reserved newbie mob IFN challenge for January new player experience update

 

Not disagreeing with you but just wanted to say, every mob on this planet, with exception of Yuka maybe, can be taken down with a team of 12 noobs with tt weapons. Even be easier if the team of 12 had healers with the group. I think here they are promoting team work instead of solo play for IFN challenges. Team play is also much more fun doing grinder missions anyways, griding alone is so boring.

 

Can definitely agree with you there.. Which is probably why I haven't actually finished any IFN/Iron Challenges On Calypso I get to about 1k or 5k.. Still got a few at 500.. on Oro I'm on the 4800, I think...

 

Would have been nice with a Karabook mission, since when gathering resources for crafting we kill a lot of them.

 

I agree Yao-Te..

 

Good content for Ark, but MA systems are all screwed up. Team chat doesn't work right, FL are messed up.... any info on when these will be working again?

 

Ingame Support Center doesnt work either..

 

Edit : Problem I just reported in this post seems to have been corrected

 

I think a carabok mission would defeat the pourpose of giving the newcomers a mob that is not intensly hunted and gives loot with good MU. If everybody hunted caraboks for the mission rewards pretty soon the MU on the skins would be 101%.

But a halix or zadul mission could be nice.

 

I am satisfied with the missions a good range, but yes one between Oro and Madana for newer players would be good as well

 

Oro IFN Challenge updated to include new Trophy Head reward in Stage 4. If you have previously completed this stage the reward will be delivered to your inventory.

nothing in my items , anyone get this item ?

 

Hi Tomas,

They will be delivered automatically by MA. Might take a few days.

 

Are you shure that new melee weapons got added to the loot?

 

Dont worry about those IFN hunts ... Just accept them all, and someday you will get them completed as you play. Instead of taking them as the focus, just take them as a bonus, since you will hunt them sooner or later ... lol

jc

 

ROFL.Are you fricken serious your bitching like a couple hours after servers are up? Give it a day at least lol. Although it does seem that bitching has lead to looting in the past so i'll bet you loot one soon. Have fun!

i'll be waiting to hunt until later tonight to have a better chance.

 

shop stalls not for sale yet?

 

Ya I'll try looting one from Oratan tonight also, being that is along the story line that they raided the blades.

Friends List

• Friend lists are now unlimited.
• All friend connections are now bidirectional. All existing friendships have been converted to the new bidirectional.

Could be the fact some people have you on their list and you removed them. I see several people I didn't know had me on their list.
