The Rising 2018

part of the event? .mob trained here? or creature control pill? lol

 

Are these shared loot mobs or what?

 

Yes, shared loot mobs are spawning during the event. Any surprises beyond that (if planned) are unknown at this time.

 

Are there spawns of the shared mobs or are they just a couple randomly thrown in? or is it just fort attacks?

 

Spawn of shared mob, yes. It's fun did stage 5 +6 oratan within a day, loot was kewl enough too

 

It seems spawns have failed and need refresh. Either that or valiant under attack by ferocious Monura. A new level of deceit from the Oratan, or interference by those dastardly Smugglers ??!!

 

Cant complain about the loot landed on ark just after Dylan started the rising and bunch of us hit 10k + on lancer.Sad few who started the hunt with me missed the uber though.Keep those uber hits comming pls

 

My main request to improve this would be to set the cooldown on the oratan repeatable mission 6 to 1 hour (or less) instead of 24 hours. I'd like to hunt some more oratan lancers now but I'm not going to do it when I know I can have a mission running if I wait. I might end up going back to caly, and I guess you'd prefer people to stay on ark.


I'd also like to see some none shared spawns like the one south of Kestrel, some of us prefer to hunt solo.

 

is this event still running?

 

Am I missing something? Just a handful of Lancers near Kestrel. Is that the entirety of the "event"? I don't see any attacks at any firebase...

 

Killing the normal ones spawned the high level bosses when we were shooting on the event.

 

Steadfast is surrounded

 

Anything happening?

 

The moon absolutely sucks. But on the bright side, it appears that it is in Beta testing. All the loots are incredibly generic (shrapnel, wool, residue), as are the mining claims. The teleporter doesn't work going down to planet, and the pirates are taking full advantage of this.
I spoke to an Arkadia official ingame who said that the teleporter not working apparently isn't a glitch but a "feature" which "might" get changed if enough of us say how much it sucks.
Personally, I won't come back to the moon ever again if we can't TP down to planet. There is absolutely no point - I'm not chancing ferrying my loot down to planet, and hiring a mothership just to go from a space station/moon to planet is silly. Every other space station and the one moon all have TP to planet abilities, so there's no reason this one shouldn't.
If the next patch doesn't fix a lot of shit and have some sort of really awesome promo, this whole moon project will be a flop.

 

Need a Snickers bar ? (More info here)

 

It sucks.

There was a short time a few years ago when the option to TP back to Calypso from CP or FOMA was removed. It killed both places overnight, everyone stopped going, and the TPs were brought back in the next update.

If it's really deliberate to not allow a TP back from the moon, it's probably the worst idea Ark have ever had.

 

Please fix spawns density and location or terrain. At moment Sicarius drones get stuck in land holes or just fix that crap looking land as a whole.

 

All this crap about the loot sucks the spawns suck, and the new stuff? You're not seeing that because this is an obvious, unannounced, "soft" beta release. Good thing, too. If the race to discovery and new missions all happening right now while this pirate fest is going on it would be causing massively more confusion and resentment against Arkadia.

Anyways I thought everything was oddly inconvenient. They were pretty clear that there wasn't any new crafting/mining content here or (storyline) missions so that's ass expected. I mean, I think it's a little early to condemn on those points.

But right now plenty of people are unwilling or feel unable to experience this at all.

People are now reporting that ark officials have stated (again, not on a forum or anywhere static but in rumored in-game chat) that this was intentional. Others have stated MA/support said the same.

"If enough of us say it sucks" is bullshit. That's sticking it in without asking but it's cool because "you'd stop if she said no".

Put that together with complete cutoff in comms at the largest happening in arkadia for years and this whole thing stinks pretty bad.

EDIT: I edited a bit to clarify that I mostly agree with the quoted post in regards to the layout of the place.

 

I agree that from everything that is happening, the most troubling is the radio silence from the Ark Team.
