Damar, for the love of destruction

Codenamed "Shockwave", Damar is a heavy gun from the Diqa collection, the set widely recognised for its excellent accuracy. The influx of Nawa to the gun is designed to breath through the weapon and make its way to the enemy's weakest spot.

CCP cancels vampire MMO World of Darkness

CCP cancels vampire MMO World of Darkness

I still check how EVE Online is going. After more of Star Citizen is released I understand that Star Citizen won’t take players from EVE Online. Star Citizen will be 99% FPS Dog Fighting with private servers and ranking system, while EVE is EVE. So I check the YouTube page of EVE Online and see they made it so front page show you other games of CCP Games. As if they want to make people playing their other games fearing people will leave EVE Online never to come back.

So I see there is DUST 514 (Some FPS game that no one plays) ; EVE: Valkyrie (Some dog fighting game that no one will play) and World of Darkness (A game that CCP canceled few weeks ago).

56 staff at the Atlanta studio where it was being made have been laid off. Those who remain will work on Eve Online.

"The decision to end the World of Darkness MMO project is one of the hardest I've ever had to make, I have always loved and valued the idea of a sandbox experience set in that universe, and over the years I've watched the team passionately strive to make that possible.

"I would like to give special thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make the World of Darkness MMO a reality, especially the team members affected by this decision. Their considerable contribution to CCP will not be forgotten, and we wish them well.”

"To our current and former employees and fans of World of Darkness, I am truly sorry that we could not deliver the experience that we aspired to make. We dreamed of a game that would transport you completely into the sweeping fantasy of World of Darkness, but had to admit that our efforts were falling regretfully short. One day I hope we will make it up to you.”

"Although this was a tough decision that affects our friends and family, uniting the company behind the Eve universe will put us in a stronger position moving forward, and we are more committed than ever to solidify Eve as the biggest gaming universe in the world."

Hilmar Veigar Pétursson

Really?

You talked 42 minutes at EVE fanfest 2012


and 50 minutes at EVE fanfest 2013 


to EVE fans that don’t care about your vampiric MMO about MMO that is now canceled. And all this time you had nothing to show. Star Citizen had tons to show before even the kickstarter. If you used the money EVE fans deposited to play EVE, to build 3 other games at least show them something other than empty street. 


I wonder if this was PR stunt, some tax deduction stunt, some financial stunt or what? Why don’t you instead of that improve EVE Online how players want it. 

Problems I see for Arkadia Underground Deeds

Problems I see for Arkadia Underground Deeds

While I think the idea for underground is good and also the releasing of Land Area where everyone can buy small share and get profit is also great I’m starting to think that investing in those deeds is not such a good idea. I also went to Arkadia and bought some of those deeds. And don’t get me wrong they have good side too.

Let’s start briefly with the positive side of the Arkadia Underground Land Deeds:

-The ROI is good, very similar to that of the Calypso Land Deeds. Sometimes I wonder how the fuck MindArk knew what will be the payout (and player activity) before they release Ark Deeds, so they make their price exactly where the ROI will be very close to CLD ROI. (ROI is Return of Investment)

-50 PED per deed. Low price so everyone can participate.

-5% tax from Arkadia Underground is way easy to understand than what 50% of Planet Calypso revenue means. The payouts of Arkadian Underground Deeds depends only from the activity in Arkadia Underground. The payouts of Calypso deeds depends from many factors and probably even the running costs of the planet. What if Calypso team buy new office in real life for 1 000 000 dollars? Is this going to lower the payouts of the deeds?

Basically this is the good side and now let’s try to systemize the negatives:

-Overpriced Land Area. Now this part is confusing for me too. There are Land areas for 10 000 – 20 000 - 30 000 USD, but this LA cost 1 000 000 USD (1 million American dollars). Some people said the first day its way overpriced. I tough what do you care if it gives good ROI and you don’t have to do nothing or invest in fertilizers, advertizing, events and such. Pure passive income. Just like CLD. But it is still over priced which leads to the next problem.

-Oversupply. We can only guess here, but it is very possible that Arkadia Underground Deeds (200 000 deeds, 5 USD each) will never sell. There will always be more people selling then buying and you can always get one for 50 PED from the deed broker. So you can’t expect to make money buying AUD for 50 PED and selling them for more, like it was with CLD. In fact today I sow people selling for less than 50 PED which means it will be hard for you to sell your deeds for even 50 PED. But if they valued the underground for less than 1 million dollars, let’s say they released 100k deeds for 5 USD each, that means the ROI of the AUD will be double that of the CLD and drop the CLD value to half. And make CLD and AUD best investment in the world.

-Not suitable for mining. At first I read that Arkadia Underground will have indoor mining logic, some sort of mining for skilled miners, like it is on FOMA. Where big players drop thousand of PEDs each day risking it big. Big risk – big reward system. This would guarantee big payouts of the deeds for long long time. But then I went to the underground to try mining. And I sow so many mobs there it was hard to drop a probe. I watched 2 YouTube videos of PigBenis and he was mining in sea of monsters. I don’t think heavy miners will like that.



-No future development of the land. This is also my guess, but I think it is reasonable to take the underground as it is now and not to hope for big improvement in the future. They build it – they sold it for 1 mill USD – they move on to the next project. This is probably the same for CLD. They got to the point where revenue of the planet was maxed and sold the CLD for 6 million USD knowing there won’t be more upgrades to the planet. By upgrade I mean more land where more people can play and spent more money contributing to the CLD payouts.

-Not uniqueness. I don’t know if there is such word, but what I mean is that once all AUD are sold (or even before that) Ark team can just build Underground 2 or Overground 1.

-Only ROI. Arkadia Underground Deeds may have ROI similar or even better than CLD, but CLD will offer 2 more candies for their owners. Landgrab and voting rights. And less important symbolic citizenship. While they are not even implemented in the game after 5-10 years they will be important part of the game. (If the game still exists).

In conclusion my personal opinion is to buy some Arkadia Underground Deeds, but not too much. If you have PEDs to invest – better buy CLD.

Disclaimer: Every line in this post is my personal opinion and may be very wrong. Investing big amount of money in video game is a huge risk. If you lose all your money following some of the advices on this blog all AxeMurderer can offer is a hug.

Developer Notes 8

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.

Account Liquidation Auctions

A special liquidation auction of items from terminated accounts will be listed on Friday, April 25 and Monday, April 28.

How Warp Mines works in Entropia Universe

The actual functionality of "Warp Mines" is a little complex and to be honest, I am not sure if they work the way they are supposed to. I am not even sure if the "Pirates" are 100% aware of how they fully function.

"Warp Mines" are placed in a "Warp Gate" to disrrupt the "Warp Process" of a "Warp Capable Ship". Currently Aniara Class Motherships and Vega Class Privateeers (Pathfinders and Starfinders) are the only "Warp Capable Ships" in the "Entropia Universe". There is at least one "Warp Gate" in each "Server Area" of the current "Entropia Space" and there are twelve(12) such "Server Areas" This much we know for certain.

The "Captain Skill" of a "Ships Pilot" + the level of the "Ships Warp Drive" Vs the level of the "Warp Mine" being used = the chances of a "Ships Warp Process" being disrupted. I have no idea of What the full break down of the ratios for this equation is. The cost of obtaining "Warp Mines" and burning "Warp Drives" to fully test this is a little ludicrous because of the costs involved.

On Sunday the "MS Bismarcks Warp Sequence" was disrupted on two seperate ocassions in the "Erabos Space Server Region". On the first instance the "Pirate Ship MS Dreadnoguht" was the only Ship in the vicinity. It attacked and destroyed the "MS Bismarck"

On the second occassion there was not only the "MS Dreadnought" but the "MS Varyag" This second ship quickly disappeared behind us as we headed away from the situation with the "MS Dreadnought" in hot pursuit. It was accompanied by a well known Pirate in a Quadwing Interceptor.

A "Warp Trail" was then obseved. This could have been a number of things and at this stage is purely speculation. It may have been the MS Varyag attempting to "Warp" to an intercept point on the Bismarcks predicted tragectory. It may have been the MS Varyag leaving the area. It also may have been another "Watp Ship' passing through the region.

Once the MS Bismarcks Crew and Passengers were fully aware of the situation, the ships speed was reduced and the fight taken to the Pirates. After a short time of guns blazing from both MS and the attending Quadwing Interceptor the Bismarck arose from amongst the smouldering wreckage of the Dreadnought as the victors of the second bout. Shortly afterwards the Quadwing Interceptor was also dispatched.

As the "Pilot" on both ocassions, I take full responsibility for the Bismarck being destroyed in the first instance. Due to the lack of activity from the Pirates in the last few weeks I had become quite lacks and was "Piloting with Undue Care and Attention"

In the second instance the credit must go to the Crew. Their actions and efforts are nothing less than highly commendable. The Repair Crew worked tirelessly to ensure all stations maintained substantial integrity during the ensuing battle while the Gun Crew ensured the final victory.

The work, time and efforts put in by EFA Crew Members is nothing short of highly commendable. Not just on this occassion but at all times their efforts are greatly appreciated. In recent times our Crews have proven themselves very reliable and more than capable on both the Kronan and the Bismarck. We may not always be victorious but we hold our own.

Star Citizen is not MMO

In episode 62 of Wingman’s hangar from 26 of March 2014, Eric Peterson calls Star Citizen “a BIG MMO”. And most of the bakers defend that statement. But by their definition of MMO – Farmville will be MMO too. You have massive people playing it online. World of tanks will be MMO. Warframe will be MMO.


The reason I am writing this is that I got little disappointed after the presentation of the Arena Commander at the PAX East event at Boston April 11-13 2014. Just few days ago.


Players will be able to jump into the cockpit and begin the combat simulator, without risking their own ships. Five modes will be included at launch:

· Free Flight

· Battle Royale - Free for all

· Squadron Battle - Team battles

· Capture the Core - Capture the flag

· Vanduul Swarm - Horde mode

Sometimes Chris Roberts mention that Star Citizen will be something like EVE Online, but I think this Arena Mode is pushing it apart from EVE or any other MMO. And there are other reasons why Star Citizen is not MMO.

I am not looking for the dogfights all day. I am more interested in the mining, trading and collecting fish from all over the galaxy. I was thinking of buying the hornet for 140$, but now it looks like the game is 99% focused on dogfights and very little on other experiences. I feel sorry for the people that bought the most expensive ships. They will do some dogfight for a month and then there will be nothing left for them to do. I guess I will keep my pledge level low – just the Aurora and alpha access.

Another thing that starts to piss me off is that Chris said months ago that there won’t be feature creeps, but now every time someone ask about something and Chris answer in “the 10 for the Chairman” is “This won’t be in the initial release, but is down the pipe and may be implemented after few years”.


I know that it will be great game, but it won’t be 100% the game I want to play. It won’t be MMO. And with Chris talking about private servers I’m starting to think that persistent universe may not stay long online.

After all that said I will probably support the game even more than my current level. I will play the game and have fun, but it is not space MMO. And it even may not be space trading and combat simulator on 100%.

AxeMurderer Import – Taking over the galaxy

I have a grand plan to take over the galaxy in the next 2-3 years. Now I have just one shop on Calypso, but my plan is to get one shop for every planet in Entropia Universe and make every shop sell goods from just one planet. Now I have one shop where I sell goods from Calypso. My next step will be to buy shop and stock it with items only from planet Arkadia - since it looks like the second biggest economy after planet Calypso. My third shop will probably sell only gear from planet Rocktropia, I know there are some crafters. Next in line will be planet Cyrene shop, and then planet Toulan shop. And when new planet is introduced I will buy another shop and fill it with goods from that planet.


To fill the shops with good crafted items I will try to work with 2 crafters from every planet. At the beginning I won’t be able to give any collateral to the crafters for their items, so they will have to just give me the items and get their PEDs when the item is sold and I will keep 1-2 PEDs from the profit. They will give me the items when I visit their home planet or when they visit Calypso.

So if you are crafting non-Calypsian goods and like my terms message me to work together. It will be more work than just selling your crafted goods on the auction, but it will be more fun and hopefully more profitable. I think that working with only 2 crafters from every planet is good idea. More and I will be doing too much work and there is chance that different crafters will craft same items. Just 1 and if he is not active enough shop will be empty.

This is my idea for now; it will be improved with time. If I can buy new shop every 6 months and then slowly fill it with items the next 3 months I think 3 years will be enough to achieve my goal.

Presenting Arkadia Land Area 6

Dozens of Entropians for 3 months have been working long hours in Aakas, known to them as the "mines". Tens of thousands of snakes, grasshoppers, magurg, ubo, and defenders were slaughtered for the capture of a once pristine land east of the Taipan Digsite -- a previously untouched land rich in treasures, enmatter, and ore.

But towards the end of the conquest, the monsters became restless and the quickest of all mobs and perhaps the most clever, the Ubo, felt to seek revenge by stowing away undetected in a runner's inventory, maybe during the lag woes that prevented players from viewing it properly, and begin wreaking havoc on Arkadia. The rumor has it, the unsuspecting Aakas key runner was one known as a "blitzer", perhaps one of the fat ones with a strange infatuation with ostelok hides. No one will ever know but the legend will continue...

As Ubo love tall grass, they chose to stake claim along the east Coast of Arkadia known to Arkadians as Land Area 6 (32458, 26140). Why they chose this place specifically, and so far from Aakas, is unknown, but perhaps the Ubo feed on the richness of minerals in the area. As the Ubo began to populate in LA6, they solicited an alliance with the beladoths. By joining forces and working with the Ubo, they became corrupted and thus were mutated. Their mutated forms made them more powerful and difficult to eliminate.

Now the once beautiful Land Area 6 is becoming tainted with the corruption of Ubo and Mutated Beladoth and Arkadia needs your help to cleanse the land.

I Present To You....

Arkadia Land Area 6 (32458, 26140)

Starring.... the Ubo


and... the Mutated Beladoth


There will be events weekly and as soon as the names are fixed for the Beladoth, there will be some on-going, permanent events going forward. I hope that we will soon have some missions, perhaps even ones that separate these ubo with the ones from ACA.

Hunting Tax: 4%
Mining Tax: 4%

How valuable are skills in Entropia Universe

Your success in Entropia Universe depends on the gear you use + the mob you hunt + the skills you have. Gear and mob is choice you do now. Skills are choices you did in the past. So how can past choices be more important than choices you make now?

Arkadian Colony Defence – Oratan Marathon Attack

IFN Intelligence: More Oratan forces detected!

Date: 8 APR 3011
Time: 02:10 hrs
Location: IFN Cutlass - in orbit above Arkadia

The intelligence officer on duty responded to the alarm from the console with a mumbling “What is it this time?” as he slid over to the station with a fresh coffee in his hand.

The surveillance cameras showed the night side of Arkadia as it usually did, but this time with some exceptions that the computer was marking as a change. The area of interest that the computers had flagged didn't show much detail at range so he used the battleship’s extensive sensor suites to zoom in even further and magnify.

“What a he-“ he said, surprise in his voice.

“What is it?” one of his colleagues asked.

“Take a look at this.” The first officer replied quickly, “It looks like there are hundreds of camp fires down there.”

His colleague took a quick glance and zoomed in and out to make up his mind about what he saw.

“Oh hell, looks like you're right. We better contact HQ down in Celeste at once. Gather as much intel as you can while I send them a contact alert.”

Time: 02:15 hrs
Location: Commodore Harvir's quarters

“It better be damn important waking me up at this time Sergeant...” Harvir said with a crotchety tone. "What is it?”

”Sir! Sorry to disturb you, but you better take a look at this at once. It came as a "High Priority" alert straight from Cutlass.” The young Sergeant said with fear in his voice.

Harvir sat up in his bed and swiped through the pictures on the Q-pad that was handed to him.

Suddenly, he realized what he was looking at and what it meant that the IFN were up against. He started to feel nauseous as the colour drained from his face.

Looking up at the young Sergeant in front of him, he took a breath and said "Sound the alert, get everything we have moving ASAP!"


The IFN are calling on Arkadia's loyal colonists, to assist in plugging the gaps in our defensive lines and bolster the IFN combat forces. Colonists of all levels are encouraged to attend. This attack is liable to be a heavy and sustained attack for an extended period of time, so people from different time-zones are encouraged to join and leave in at their convenience.

If you are able to lend support, please assemble at REPULSE FIREBASE (Coordinates 15015, 15047) or COURAGEOUS FIREBASE (Coordinates 15182, 25704).

The attacks are estimated to hit on Friday the 11th April 2014 @ 19:00 and expected to end on Sunday the 13th April 2014 @ 19:00

*****

Due to issues arising from previous engagements, we once again ask colonists to please NOT shoot from the walls or from under the entrance of the base, as this causes the Oratan to become UNREACHABLE and spoils the event for other participants. We kindly ask that all players actually advance into the field and engage the enemy forces.


The Oratan are, once again, likely to be throwing all they have at these bases including the largest and strongest warriors they can muster. As with previous engagements, IFN Command will be deploying Commandos from Alpha Team to assist colonial fighters with paramedical duties.

Please arrive early and ensure all equipment is clean and in good repair, and you have adequate supplies of ammunition.

THE HIVE - a Tutorial to Aurli uber bosses

I believe everyone should have access to this knowleadge, its been nearly a year this place was release and most who know how the spawn of aurli uber aka bosses works never shared it, kept it to themself and profiting from it (i joined the place mid november 13 and was able to figure out all this stuff by myself).
Several people mentionned me how bad they wanted to loot some bones and start a set of more eco plates together, I have helped some friends so far, I believe at some point everyone should get to share what they know, it always was on us to give and to receive, so here is my input.

Aurli Biogenic Gel.
This gel is made off all the brood parts you may loot in the hive, some aurli larva which can be found in the bell brood room, some alien liquids from other domes and an animal oil i let you find about.
Used in the craft of the adj/imp/mod bp.

Aurli Bosses have an internal cooldown.
Matter of fact i was able to determine this cooldown, they all work on a base of "timing" and not "kill count" as many could believe and feel robbed by the WSS mafia (or by myself?) out there camping each cave ready to catch the precious loot.
Each of these bosses can and will respawn 48hrs after last one killed up to 120hrs spawning limit, once this understood you might want to know when the last specific boss been killed to be able to catch the next one and hunt at the right place, timing pattern may vary depending on server reboot, server reboot now force a cooldown reset, which means no boss will spawn untill 48hrs atleast passed.

Bring with you the highest tiered gun you can, for some of the strongest boss a rutube/perseus armor will be needed, be prepared for the worst but still pray for the best, infact some people from the mentionned above soc will KS you at all cost, it happend to me before and mob train isnt an option for some of the less respectable of them or even auto firing the spawning point for several hours in a row or even all day.
This is not really about it but worth mentioning as all treasure comes at a cost so lets get to the real point of the thread.

6 different bosses, from L43 to L106, each spawning as an extra mob to the existing ones, each of these boss spawn INSIDE their brood cave, each of these are a nearly 100% guarantee to loot a bone or up to 3 bones with dread.
Bones are also lootable from regular mobs, confirmed on brood of bram, dotty and bell, also potentially from warren as the boss happend to give no loot.
NOTE: some have lower chances of looting and will be detailed under.

L43 Dotty


50% chances of looting a bone

L48 Bell (picture taken from the way to the bell cave)


50%+ chances of looting a bone
Spawns into PVP

L49 Bram


50%+ chances of looting a bone

L76 Warren


75%+ chances of looting a bone

L78 Unruly


100% chances of looting a bone

L106 Dread The AllBrood


100% chances of looting atleast a bone, up to 3 lootable
Spawns in PVP
Makes a loud Rooooaaaar noise on spawn that can be heard all around the hive.

NoTE: Chances of looting mentionned are based on 2-3 months of tracking, personal & friends kills.

Additional information will be provided in a following post (if you want to personally ask me something about the place i can teach & tell you for free, ingame).

Good luck to everyone inside the hive, may this allow to be revived, mob start to loot UL items again and return some of the mu to these mobs.

Sunsout Tacotuesday Gunsout discovered limited UFO

Here are the pic's from the UFO that was discovered today.

The ufo hadn't loaded in the loot window yet (but the UL snub nose did )

Also, a second UL King Kong Tommy Gun was looted today, so mine is not unique anymore, but that's ok It was looted by a good guy.






Will be putting it on caly auction today after i fly around for about 5 more hours

BTW, it does NOT decay with use like some other stuff like the broom, decayed from damage (I was too excited and spawned it forgetting the next Kong we were killing does AoE)
