Watch This Planet Arkadia Update 2013.2 (18th June 2013)

Yep, Mutated ostelok doesn't count either. What's the point of these mutated creatures anyway? Do they have different loot table than normal mobs?

 

Killed a lot of mutated nusuls yesterday intentionally tagging only those in hope of something out of ordinary, the loot is exactly the same. The only difference between youngs and mutated youngs is stamina (46 vs 33, all other attributes are the same) and Damage Potential ("limited" vs "minimal"), though I can't say they really hit harder.

 

Neither does Mutated Halix count. Think it is safe to say that no Mutated creature does.
Not sure I like or dislike the mutations right now. They mess up a bit the project I am doing, but on the other hand it's nice to see something different then only Young/ Mature/ Old from a hunters perspective.

Talking about the Viceroy: if you like the armour, but not the bound-to-avatar just wait till this mission stops and regular Viceroy becomes available. Stats are exactly the same, difference is somewhere in the design. Guys from Planet Arkadia has told so already.
I think of this Viceroy Edition as a set that will say in a some years or more "I am a proud Arkadian from the early days!"
Still got one question myself: how long will the mission be available? Thought I read something 'till next update in autumn' is it not?

 

What makes you think that non-Skullcandy edition will be not-bound? Only the look will change, nothing else.

 

All right. The contaminated zone on ark just got free advertisement ... Someone just got a 12k niks there. Not even 24 hrs since VU and already the contaminated zone has proven itself lucrative.... OH WHERE ARE THE GUARDIANS THAT SHALL PROTECT US FROM ALL THE CALY PVP4 PKers who shall come to ark for profitzz? Oh ark, my homeland.... pls don't change!

 

Bump this for the people above

 

this looks pretty defending to me.

what you cant measure is the people that quit playing and give negative feedback about the game. 40 dollars waste wont make that more positive.

good luck, im back at calypso.

 

I'm on calypso..was almost ready to head back to Arkadia but whoa!...wait a minute...friend just told me lootable pvp ..no ty !! now will stay on calypso..I'm dissapointed

 

Your logic escapes me. Just dont go into the contaminated zone.

 

I think its a very good move to make a mission where you can add some stacks to get an item. Its very good as the stacks needed is almost tt stuff. Now they are a bit more worth and that is very good for our new friends thats joining each day - now they dont have to tt there loot but can get a little more for it.

Overall a very good move for the economy.

 

I'm interested to hear how tying up 400 hard earned PED's into an untradable and unTTable armour set is good for the economy

 

I'm equally interested in hearing how someone made you get it.

 

As I have no wish to mission for an untradable armour set that is a silly thing to say and completely off the point I was trying to make. If this is the direction the Arkadian team is taking their planet then it is not a planet I wish to be a part of and it sets a dangerous precedent for the future should we accept it without question (as some of you seem to be doing - no surprises there) and is totally against the spirit of a free trade real cash economy.

 

You are right, just saw that regular Viceroy is also avatar-bound.

Take care on Calypso and avoid PvP #2 and #4 I think it is. The first is that PvP-zone that has been on Eudoria since at least as far back as I'm in Project Entropia, well into eight years. The other is the Akmuulzone and (in)famous for some Über miningclaims and a PvP-Über by Angel.

I still fail to see how a 400PED untradable armour that you get doing a missionline is bound to utterly destroy the Arkadian economy and makes all of us into sitting Gallards as targetpractice for the evil PvP'ers from Calypso.

 

Have a safe flight away from Arkadia wherever you go

 

I know about pvp lootable on calypso..as I have played 7 years...Went to Arkadia to get away from all that crap but now it's just the same old same old blah

 

I do not see what problem ppl have with pvp areas, they are very small compared to the entire planet and not mandatory for anyone to enter. I have personally been itching for more pvp areas on Arkadia ever since we first got the ring at celeste harbor and I'm very eager to spend a lot of time there... don't feel the same? ... then don't go there simple

 

Luckily, getting the armor is NOT mandatory! What "spirit" are you referring to? Did I miss a memo?

OMG...people...if you do not like it, DO NOT BUY IT!

 

To quote myself and hopefully end this armor focusing from both sides:

 

Some people seem to have a GO TO 10 line in their thinking on this. Relax! The armor and missions are not mandatory. The PVP zones do not HAVE to be entered. It gives Arkadia more things to offer players. I had pondered going hunting on Calypso...for players....now I can do so without leaving! The economy will be better as it looks like many items that we used to TT will actually have a markup now. This is a GOOD thing, guys.
