    Developer Notes #8

    Limited/Unlimited Item Balance

    In order to improve the balance between limited and unlimited gear, MindArk has been refining the rate at which unlimited items gain tier levels. This effort has resulted in a decrease in the number of uses required for tier increases, especially at higher tier levels. Further reduction is planned in several steps during the next few version updates, allowing the MindArk design team to monitor and implement incremental changes while reducing the risk of disrupting delicate item market values.

    To further improve balance between limited and unlimited items, the consumption rate of enhancers attached to unlimited items will be reduced by 50% in Version Update 14.7, currently scheduled for May 13.

    I agree with that for sure, they still don;t seem to understand the separation between the 2 of them and they are again kicking the PP's in the nuts for attracting people to Calypso to buy that stuff.

    A conflict of interest (COI) occurs when an individual or organization is involved in multiple interests, one of which could possibly corrupt the motivation. - Wikipedia

    All that needs said.

    Yup, really not helping in convincing that MA and Planet Calypso are not one and the same.

    But once again, it's apparently not important enough to change, or at least address.
    Disappointing.

    hush hush, at least this way the auction fees go to my CLD income :)

    Maybe this was because the people were caly born players? And when the first ark-born mega cheater gets banned they get sold on ark auction?

    nice that this also shows the pictures btw, well done forum admins :)

    Well i guess they cheated first, then had the peds to buy the nice toys and then continued cheating.
    ofc back then those toys were a lot cheaper. (unless this is from those mining cheaters).

    its gear from hieronyme/hunterz/nostrop ,they were afkhunters with imp mk2
    they did that like 8 years ago when gear was still cheap but more importantly..skilprices were still very high
    so thye prob funded their pedcard with skillselling

    mind you..prices were insane back thne,i still remember selling rifle for like 4k % and blp tech for like 10k %

    Was going to say it will be players that were borne on Caly at one time you didn't have the option to be borne any where else.

    That will be the lame MA reason that its going on the Caly Auction I agree it should be global and free transfer if item won.

    Also the reason that many a long term player isnt able to choose there own home planet and revenue hits the CLD all those owners
    would brick themselfs that there virtual deed paying virtual money lost a lot of old virtual players hitting there peddies.

    Unfortunatly we have all been around long enough to know how MA work and operate yet we are all around and playing still,
    those of you that are long term players then you might enjoy the following.

    Thats the reason I am on ark ;) Great Team - Great Events - Great People ;) - Great FUN

    Ark will have the toys that are equivalent to these and were starting to see smuggler come out ;) and that's going to be fun fun fun ;)
    I was borne years ago and years ago I am now back and loving ark I fly around but my new home is here I also like to just check out the other planets its so cheep in a quad to fly around gone are the days of 25 ped per ticket up to cnd and down its now like 5 ped.

    I juts love the way everything is setup weapons make sense they have skill levels on them and work ;)

    The Team come in and interact and Arks comming 3 lets not forget that ;) Caly has been around a long time.

    The competition have arrived and that's why there running scared ;) If you look at other forums look at the worries
    over the CLD's and revenue drops.
