View attachment 8017 Hello Entropians! I am proud to announce I have purchased with my friend "TheRock Animalcommander Rocky" the first Arkadia Land Area available, and I would share with all the community our thoughts and plans with the hope our work will be appreciated and with the goal to offer something new to Arkadia and to it's awesome population. First of all I want to reserve a special thank to all the people who supported me along the way in the past few months, I could not have done it without them, so thank you very much. I also thank all the people who have written to me yesterday after the "discovery" of the land area, all the people I've known over the years and in particular the friends that after all these years still find myself every day. And last but not least thanks to Rock, my partner in this adventure, my friend from the first days in Entropia Universe, and exeptional supporter. I imagine there's a lot of curiosity about the development of the area and for my part I can say that I have several ideas in mind and that these events include the organization of competitions, of which there are many examples of success in Calypso, who are waiting to be put into practice. As you know the recipes for the DNA are not yet completed, waiting for the last piece for most of them. I can say that I have prepared several recipes waiting to be complete. As for the choice of the mobs that populate the land area a final decision has not yet been taken, and for sure the suggestions that come from the community will be taken into consideration, then I invite each of you to share your preference. If any of you have DNA parts for sale feel free to contact me here in forum or ingame (add Giuliano adm Noooo in Player Register), I would be happy to hear any offer on the parts. Rest assured that every update will be readily shared with you. Best regards Giuliano
For mobs i would suggest something from the instance, they can't be hunted with more then 70% tt return atm.
Ubo, magurg, those are the ones I know of which produce animal parts that only drop in the golden key (rarely). Also Zadul and Otorugi both have missing high maturity natural spawns.
Congratulations on your purchase! Will be interesting to see what the LA will hold soon ;p Best of luck to you guys! Gally
Yeah I'd love to see some mutated mobs, I'm not sure if you can spawn those now or after a future update, but there are some really interesting options there.
Congratulations again adm and Rocky !! I'm sure you will do a great job managing this area and making at a success! I'm looking forward to the events you will create. Let me know when you're having the party to celebrate Break a leg!
Congratz on the find and the purchase! Best of luck on the development of this area. Hopefully, depending on what ends up on it, I'll be helping to keep it alive with lights and some action Cheers!
dunno about mutateds.. they are single maturity... dont count into the missions.. have same loot than normal.. and ofcourse would be on taxed area... unless they fix em
In a previous post, the Ark devs stated that missions will be implemented for any mutated mobs we add to an LA. So we don't need to worry about that. On the maturity issue I can only speculate but I believe the the mutated youngs were added to existing spawns as a sampler and that when spawned via DNA, we should see the a variety of maturities as per the existing mechanism for DNA and land management. Clearly it's something that adm needs to clarify with the devs.
but still dont understand why it cant share the same mission.. now i would need to kill tons of normal mobs and then kill tons of "same" mobs with no difference in loots..
The mutated mobs is a completely separate mob in the system in order for DNA to function correctly and allow a player to have a full mutated spawn or a normal spawn or a mix of both (add in normal and mutated DNA) if they want. This also allows us to ensure that no random mutated mob can spawn on the plant due to just being another maturity of the regular mob. Due to this and the mobs difference in stats the mutated mission in most cases would award bigger rewards for killing the mutated mob if it has a dedicated mission then sharing the mission with the regular mob. Also allowing both missions to overlap in such large numbers is really not an option nether is redoing the entire existing missions to kill point based missions as that would be unfair to some players who has previously completed the mission or has it in progress. The current mutated mobs on the planet is nothing more then a demo and teaser for future LA owners and as such only has the lowest maturity of the mob available as a regular spawn till October.
ye that could be a problem never thought it that way.. and what ive been hunting mainly the mutateds havent had very big difference to normals.. but i see the problem in smaller mobs..
Interesting infos here for both La owners and hunters. I see the difference between normal and mutated mobs is variable, for example if a Beladoth Young has 1500 HP a Mutated Beladoth Young has 2000 HP, else if we take Ostelok Young it has 20 HP, while mutated version got like 250 HP. For sure I am curious to see what happens on higher maturity of mutated versions, we might have Mutated Nusul Stalker with 2000 HP maybe... This is a good time to share that something like a temporary startup once DNA recipes will be completed is planned, with some small mobs added to Arkadia LA 1 in mutated version at high maturity in meanwhile the final DNA is ready. In meanwhile... I will post soon details (this evening probably) about a little mining event that will start immediatly and will run until DNA is added.
Gratz on the landarea and best of luck with the development! Do you have a new name for it too? Ardorj
Name is still not decided. I am running a mining event waiting for the DNAs to be completed: http://arkadiaforum.com/showthread....-Area-1-mining-competition!&p=67198#post67198
This purchase is huge, a culmination of much hard work and resource gathering by many folks. Congrats to the Land Owners and to Ark Studios!
Congratulations! By the way, shameless plug alert: I have 175 (IIRC) fertilizer on the Arkadia auction at slightly below global MU. Just in case you want some for later? (Ingame name Christopher Chris Kinnison)
