Unknown to me Avatar Summon me in LOOTABLE PVP Space

I am hunting Caraboks on Planet Arkadia and I got the message "you are being added to the guestlist of Starfinder XXXII by windy". I don't know or talked to that avatar and he/she add me to vehicle guest list of Starfinder XXXII. As I understand that avatar is a pirate. Few minutes later Ozoner tries to summon me 4 times in a row on Starfinder XXXII.
If you are new player may be you are wondering what the hell is the problem. The hell is that when I am hunting I am caring the loot in me and no one can take it from me. But if I click that green button accidentally accepting the summon to spaceship invitation I will instantly be teleported to that spaceship where if I get killed in space, the killer will steal (loot) all my loot.
I can't be sure if the dude is scamer or not. All I can do is make this blog post, make forum post and send ticket to Entropia Support showing this screenshot.


Than I teleported to town to put my loot in storage and stop hunting because I know they will continue. I closed those 4 windows and  soon I got 8 more summons.


I guess that means no more hunting or mining or crafting for me :(

And I am not the only one hey tried to steal from. Apparently there were multiple attempts to scam people just yesterday.

Diablo Style Itemization Coming to Armor Shops Near You

May be one big change in Entropia Universe that most of you probably missed is the new armors with "Equip Effect". There was no announcement from game developers, but it is significant change that will probably change most game tutorial, advises how to play eco(nomicaly), calculation and uber armor prices.
It is not known how many and what type of "bonuses" will be introduced, but so far there was discovery for Deathbringer's Crown from one of the biggest miners inside Entropia Universe made ironically while hunting mob inside the new Calypso Cyclops Depths instance.

Equip effect type: Focused Blow.
Strength: 1 percentage point.
Or with normal words this helmet improves critical hit with 1%.



Also there are some helmets that give you more speed for most things you do - like shooting, mining, sweating. They are limited so far, but we can expect even more and new Equip effects and items.

Thorifoid Berserker's Helm (L)
Flimsy Thorifoid Berserker's Helm (L)
Superior Thorifoid Berserker's Helm

For everyone who did not hear about them yet - they add permanent buff effect when equiped:
+3% reload time and -50% hp regeneration for Flimsy version and
+5% reload time and -100% hp regeneration for normal and superior (unlimited) version

May be we will see items like in Diablo armor that gives you more HP or more strength, intelligence or other skill or attribute. Probably even 10% chance to do some Mindforce attack on the mobs around you when you are hit. 5% running speed increase. 15% less damage from robots. 20% more damage to undead. 30% more loot. Ok, this one was a joke, but you got my point. Possibilities are endless and may be the new items are already in the loot you just have to go out there (in here) and take the chance of looting them.
