Competition Pre-release event for New Starter Equipment!

Pre-release event for New Starter Equipment!
June 13th to June 16th 2014

Now is your chance to get your hands on an Entropia Universe starter pack before launch.
Starting your avatar's career is about to get much easier. With a selection of three brand new starter packs featuring the new Harrier Armor, Weapon, Fast Aid Pack and more, you will be ready to jump right into action.

The new starter packs, labelled Bronze, Silver and Gold will be available for $5, $15 and $40 respectively. The Silver and Gold packages will also contain an amount of PED, the currency of Entropia Universe, so you can participate in the economy right from the start.

Starter packs will be available to new players at account creation. For existing players, the starter packs will be available in the web shop that will soon be launched at https://account.entropiauniverse.com.

To introduce the new Starter Packs, this weekend we will stage an event for all level of players with custom starter pack as prizes.

last week same event on caly 1/3 of spawn not worked
tons of kill stealing .. none (as known) punished
Winner list whit mistakes ( 30 prizes insted 25 afther )

full content of pack whit stats is still missing


i can only hope it will not turn into kill steal maddnes here too

 

He he, I was going to ask if those two were special spawns, or if Oratan Slasher Thugs from other locations also did count.
But I see the other locations have been added, so that answers that question.

Seems like a good strategy: having the spawns spread over so many locations, might help with keeping kill stealing and other unpleasantness at bay. Although I haven't been to the Caly event; so no idea if the kill-stealing there was bad enough to make people quit the event.

Appreciate that the event is also held on Arkadia.
I have to admit, that previously I was wondering why a MA promotion was held on Calypso only.
So, are the other PP's also following, over the course of the next few weeks?
Enthusiasts could then follow the events around; like a 'Tour of the Universe'. View attachment 9556

It's very nice to have an event where DPS isn't the deciding factor.
I saw some genuine newbies on the winners list. Which is a lovely deviation from the standard. View attachment 9557
And even though (to me) the prizes are not worth the PEDs it will take: I'll probably still participate.
To add to my Oratan mission, and/or help out starters, who can't solo this mob, in a team.

And from people who used it:

The H-DNA is a one time consumable, that offers you the opportunity to get revived on the spot.
You revive with the same amount of health you would normally get at a revive.
It just saves you a trip back to the hunting grounds.

 

Anyone know how many mission points these mobs give?

EDIT: Turns out it's 10 points, in case anyone else wants to know.

 

Two thumbs up! Glad we're having this event on Ark too. Only thing, let's hope these spawns are very dense, esp since the slashers don't have a lot of agro range. There was definitely a problem at the Caly event with ubers and mid level players running around collecting all the mobs for themselves. The event was fun but the lack of mobs was a small problem at times.

 

This is probably a dumb question but how will the highest loot be tracked? Is it something recorded server side or will Entropia Tracker data be used?

 

It's good that I got a bunch more points left on the oratan mission chain.

Guess I got a good incentive to go kill lots more of these

 

They use the server data, that's how they know who made the kill shot in each team.

 

Just did almost 2 hours on them. The "Slasher Event!" first global was me and my friend, me killing it. If calypso winning loots were any indication, I guess I got a small chance of winning something.

Anyway will be back for more

Good event, good loot!

 

Yay! Awesome!

The ORATAN Need Slaying

 

Hey ark devs

great event, but why dont you post it in the client loader ?
had servral ppl who didnt know this was going on.
dont think most ppl visit the forum but they do atleast see the client loader.

 

Phew, 15 hours and 2600+ kills later got me a 71pedder wonder if that'll last on top25 'till monday... atm. 25th place is held by 57ped global.

 

Wait, where does it say that?

 

I compiled a top25 list from Entropialife's global feed for Oratan Slasher Thugs, so there's of course a chance that tracker has missed some globals, but it gives me a nice idea of the current global sizes needed (atm. lowest is 58peds btw.).

 

Thanks for the scoreboard update hehe Can someone update later today/tomorrow? Thanks!

 

Here's how it looks now (from Entropialife's stream, keep that in mind that it can miss globals sometimes):

(multiple entries have been filtered out, as it is in the rules)[/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]

 

is that done on the thug as entropia life for me was showing other oratans too ;( its only the l5 thugs that count

 

Yes, i filtered out everything else, only Thugs,
if ($t[3] == 'Oratan Slasher Thug') { $globals[] = array($value,$name); }
and
if (!in_array($name,$filter)) { (to filter out if some names are in the top25 with 2 or more entries).

 

I'm done, 20 hours in and did the 5k, 10k and 20k missions (3500+ kills), just hit an 85 pedder, that should keep me on the list.
Tracker actually missed 2 of my globals, but got myself into weekly top5 globalers anyways ^^

1) 108 - Orpheus wildcuts Kurosawa
