I have to agree with Loki ... I am SO ready to face the Oratan. Reading the storyline thus far and seeing what devastation and loss they caused prior to all systems being in place kinda charges one up for the battle.
Hopefully MindArk won't try to implement some of its "universal" mobs in a sort of "farm" on arkadia like another said planet.. that would be horrible, but I'm glad to hear from Dave that we will only see arkadia specific mobs on the planet. Hopefully the mobs have all new state as well and not just new skins. ~Danimal
The new leathers and textures are going to be very exciting. I note MA had put Gemstones as a Texture option a few months ago, maybe we are going to see some very cool Mastercoats! But I agree, the Calypso Mobs do not belong on Arkadia. Arkadian mobs only!
Was too dark.. I shot some little dog-like thingies.. couldn't see it well. Got a first time HoF on them for their leather though, so I'm cool It's day soon.. will do some screenshots.
That's like saying "Rocktropia will have Rocktropian mobs." both statements are true. but none of them is saying "NO MA generic creatures here"
I like the idea of Arkadia only having Arkadia mobs. I also like looting good items. (Limited or Unlimited) On Rocktropia I never looted anything but low level items until they added the Calypso mobs. If Arkadia mobs can drop good items then they won't need the Calypso mobs. If they can't I say bring the Calypso mobs in. The economy of the planet will improve faster if avatars don't have to travel to Calypso to sell their loot and buy guns or tools.
Just put a batch of screenies up of the various critters I bumped into today-no shortage of mobs to hunt for sure as I only touched on a very small part of the world so far. Apologies these are not up to much, but was not even noticing when I took them that the mobs were not fully displayed in the scanner window, but here they are if anyone is interested. I noticed right away that a lot use the same basic model with variations, so will be curious to see more later. Too many to do thumbs so just have a peek HERE . They didnt seem to group in the order I uploaded, will try to name and tidy them up maybe later.
@ David or Cyrus.. At this point, can you elaborate on the evolution of the creature models and their eventual diversity? One of the major knocks of other new planet partners was the overuse of the same model type for various mobs.
BTW I didn't mean that as a criticism at this point, just an observation, until I see all the mobs on the planet then I don't know if they all look like the same 3 or 4 do I? Given the time frame Arkadia has been put together in, it still isn't a problem to me, I feel sure more variety is in the pipeline, but yes, I suspect others will not be pleased.
I'm happy with constructive feedback Yes the mobs are a little repetitive, as you say, it was mainly down to time pressures and the variety will improve over time. What is on the planet, not focusing on the 3D models is a full range of mobs that should suit everyone.
This is what I like most actually, very nice mob selections after jumping around like crazy since the servers went up and still do but now I fly mostly hehe
Thanks Dave, they seem to be a wide variety of level and damage types etc, so yes, for starters thats the main thing. I still have a ton of the place to see and am taking my time, rarely using a vehicle, just jumping and wandering around on foot to see what I get myself into (the one thing I forgot to bring extra of was ME of course lol). Nothing to do with mobs but loving the night sky, first planet in EU tbh that actually makes me feel I'm on an alien place, kinda a strange feeling, long way from home.
i also noticed that several mobs used same model. but they were all of different levels of health and such. which was good. im sure new mob models will be on the way soon enough. NOTE TO DAVE: Surely u want to name one of the new mobs that come down the pipeline LUNCHBOX.....i surely cant think of a better name for a super oratan or other mob
Question, is Korwii and Koril (I and L) two mobs or just miss spelled on entropedia? Am in the process of updating pictures of all mobs now. So also looking for some spawns if you could help me, if you want it a secret still please PM me and I keep your spawn secret. But I need help with locations of these mobs and any other that might not be listed on entropedia yet. Bokol Carabok Huon Jori Kadra Korwii (?) Madana Zadul
jenny wanna meet up ingame i know some location (added 75 procent ) too entropedia didnt screened it all i finished oro slighty
Heres a couple I've come across.. Huon-Mature-Dominant NE of Sanctuary 21751.30803 Kadra-On the LA's west of Sanctuary-Young first at 19021.29996 then on the next LA west is the maxed maturity ones.
