The Core - Robot Mayhem #1

WTH is this decay trap ?? :eyecrazy: Who designed this Core instance ? ... I understand u like ppl to decay as much as possible, but this is too obvious, ffs :mad:

The respawn rate is crazy ... can literally hunt same 2 mobs for an hour :laugh: ... at least add a bridge from start area to the boss area ... so if the boss does kill u at least u don't have to pass through the whole thing again... or expand a bit the passage so u don't need to agro a bunch of mobs just to pass from A to B :)

Other than that is not bad in concept and the bosses with new dmg types are interesting, but u forgot to enable LOOT :laugh: ... a 2k HP mob giving nova, blazar, nova, NL in sequence quite often is a bit ... upsetting, to say the least :ahh:
 
"Rules & Notes

This event is intended for solo hunters. Any attempt at abusing team mechanics or any other Entropia Universe systems or features in order to gain an unfair advantage over other participants will be grounds for disqualification from the event, forfeiture of any prizes, and possible sanctions imposed on one’s Entropia Universe account."

72 hours of straight hunting is extremely unhealthy and very difficult if not impossible to do alone without someone else playing your avatar. Does someone else playing your avatar count as you being a solo hunter? I personally would not resort to this as I like to see how I do on my own; however, I've noted at least 1 well known avatar hasn't missed a single hour of globaling during this time period to date. Having a "brother" sure has its advantages, free fapping whenever you want and 24/7 gameplay for contests! Guess I need to invent a brother soon. And no this isn't an attack on that person, perhaps I should just be hiring people to play my avatar now. I guess that is the new measure of skill here: the one who can hire enough people to play their avatar without getting gear stolen.

All that aside, I don't expect to win even having killed by far and away the most mobs as is very evident based on the Entropia Life tracker. I'm well aware as to the nature of an event like this when a 5k point lottery mob is in play.

P.S. I'm operating on like 5-6 hours of sleep at this point. I have indeed slept - only 3 hours per night maximum. I do like that this contest is a shorter time frame but think that 30 hours maximum hunting is still the best thing for people's health.

I am into this event, and expect no chance in heaven in wining. I however and with you on this - I don't like where whoever plays most wins. I don't know if that is true in this case (still some luck involved) but I don't like the idea that someone else will play someone's avatar and have it running non-stop. I have to say I can't see how that is against the rules, but I think it's not right.
I don't know why the changed for the give you 50 keys format that they had before. At least make some limit.

Maybe because they screwed that with unclear rules resulting winner list that not everybody agreed with.

Now with every event one must read rules carefully: no less than x hours/no more than x hours, what if you hunt before official start/what if you hunt after official end, what if disconnect, what if, what if... too much reading between lines

Been hunting Core 2 Harbingers for 2 days now

stats:

loot return ~50%
DSU points: 229 ( I do ~100k damage per instance and get maybe 20 DSU points)

shogun+6a, kallous7+A104

I knew this is casino when I signed up, but this will be my first and last event to participate. That is just utter bullshit.

With 6k in total globals and only one global in Core during hunting there "for 2 days", it seems like you hunt above your level. Therefore losing a lot on defensive side.
Do you know how many mobs you was killing per instance?

I did few lvl 2 instances among others, averaging around 70 points per lvl 2, getting 20-40 just from one-pointers.

Overall in whole event I had 88% return, not good but far from what you are saying.

I don't think you log your hunts, do you?
Instead you probably just made up random numbers. This is quite common and very misleading approach.
I really recommend starting some excel log and you will easily see that returns are not that bad long term, while occasionally being bad and good short term.

I think I'm ok for level 2, since level 1 was even worse points wise.

I calculate returns after every instance, returns after repair cost. 90% of repairs go to A104

if I spend 300 ped on ammor, sell tt,repair and have 150-180 ped left, then don't have to be a scientist to get your returns.

changed my gameplan, now killing til boss, kill boss and start new instance. see how goes

I do lvl 2 (3 is not a problem, but in 2 I need no heal so it's much more comfortable when you don't aim for win and allows to chat :D), 200 ped ammo runs with LC-100/A104 (just enough ammo for a hour), jarhead+5B, only Evis and bosses, always full hour. On average, decay distributes as: amp 59%, gun 29%, armor 12%, faps < 1% (some heals with s.i. heart between mobs and 3-5 clicks of fap-90/t4 on a boss). ~100k dmg and ~45 DSU points per hour.

Even counting out 1.1k hof, average return so far is 110%. A bad run is followed by a good one and so on. The only disappointment is bosses, out of 18 killed so far none dropped > 5.5 ped (2700hp) and 4 gave only blazars.

P.S.: 110% return tt. But there are 2 ESIs and some L guns which I just drop in storage for now.

I wish I had this return lol :) I deposited 1800 ped for robot event and have 500 left :( at 100k a run, i get 15-25 a run, avarage 20. 2 x dsu4 so far too, rest 1-2, few DSU3s.

i did level 1 core for 4-5 runs, then tried core 2 with shogun+a6. since it worked fine (have to heal every 8 kills) I kept doing lvl2.

edit: just got DSU6! :D ill make it to 500 point mark now np :)

Proof that you need to be a bit mental to play this game

This is my first Mayhem event and glad it only ran for a few days. Now that I’ve participated, I see that these things appear to be catered for those who have the money, time and inclination to be online for long periods of time in order to collect enough points to be able to compete for the top spots.

Is this really what Entropia is about now? I like the fact that they offer various difficulty levels to accommodate avatar abilities, but surely someone who can only comfortably participate on Level 1 (due to restraints on equipment, skill levels and indeed time and money) simply cannot even reach the first 500 point threshold. For sure, they'll have the skills and some fun playing but isn't is a bit of a kit in the teeth to the majority of the player base to offer up some false hope that they could get a nice reward?

After however many years I’ve been in Entropia (can avatars from my generation be considered "Vets" yet, even as casual players?) I was still only comfortable at levels 2 and 3 in full Nemesis without using my 6A or 5B plates, which I probably should have in hindsight and given it more of a go at level 4. Heck, it's not like we can ever receive nice weapons or tools in loots anymore, this simply doesn't happen (at least not on my avatar account). DSUs felt too few and far between and it became disheartening grinding through evs and harbs for the odd DSU 1, 2 and 3 (although on one occasion I did receive a level 6 DSU, my highest). I spent a good few hours online each evening/night (and maybe a little during the day too) and made a few additional deposits. This was playing within my means and I only managed to reach just over the 500 point threshold for the additional reward.

This is certainly proof that you need a significant amount of time and money to be get anywhere near top 10 spots for those prizes on offer. Providing lower difficulty levels doesn’t mean those players have any chance of getting a reward, in my opinion. I think this is indicative of Entropia as a whole nowadays, but of course doesn't mean you still can't have fun playing casually.

Those players who do reach top 10 certainly deserve better reward for the amount of time and money they've surely put into the event this weekend.

Dear MindArk: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I doubt I'll participate in another Mayhem event, but wish all participating players good luck, and that you receive the better rewards that you deserve from these things.

My real take-away from the event was that I have much too much DPS in my hands compared to my health and evader / dodger levels.

I did switch to level one for fun, that's where I got DSU level 6 & 7 off some eviserators = got my 1000 points, woot! :)

If im not wrong, that were the DSU 9 was discovered too!
Maybe I should of done Cat 1!
 
Quite liked the event. The constant stream of energy boosters made the loot seem a little more worthwhile than usual. My goal was to just get 500 points, I hit my goal in a few hours and it was nice just being able to enjoy the event casually without any pressure. I enjoyed getting my fix blowing up bots for just a couple hours each day. I really like the event duration of just 3 days, personally I didn't get tired of the instance, I can't speak for those that tried to go for the top prizes though... I think the event did a good job of including casual players!

Other thoughts, IMHO: The 500 point reward is great, I imagine most thought it was worthwhile to just participate at least enough to hit this threshold. The 1k and 5k rewards did not scale at all in being worthwhile to do, and maybe this was the intent to not force us to be on our butts all weekend. Seeing as how I looted on average a little less than 10 energy boosters an hour, it seemed a little meaningless to hit the 1k and 5k thresholds. However I really liked the droprate on the energy boosters, they gave me a little loot "fix" like getting a global. More skill pills or perhaps attribute tokens, would have been more motivating than autoloot pills for the 5k prize. Maybe put attribute tokens in the loot only for mayhem to drop at a rate 1/10 that of the energy booster? That would make a fun event I think. I like a carrot that I can actually get and eat. This exact event set-up that asked every one to participate at least minimally to make it worth your while was very good too. Maybe rotate between having better 5k prizes and having casual inspiring prizes :).

In order to give lower level players and mid level players a sense of competition, (If you, MA, actually wanted to give a sense of competition to this event for more than .01% of the player base.) you'd definitely have to go with categories and profession restrictions based on which category an avatar wanted to enter. E.g. Let the player choose the category they want to join when they pick up the mission, so if they pick category one, whenever they enter an instance, all their professions are limited to just 20, and for category two, 40, etc.

Just ideas, this event was nice as is too :).

Setup was isis lc-60 + shear xr70(l), I believe 500 was attainable even at lower levels, although it might be like me having to marathon for 20 hours to get 5k if you're sub 20 prof level.

Those come up with a rare message displaying today's date :)
 
checked chat log for the last week(since I got my new pc that's all I can go back on) and seems only adjusted hedoc mayhem is rare loot now, cos mine didn't show up for sure, it was 26 ped tt btw.
 
Seams like regular Hedoc Mayhem never has been rare loot, there is none at rare loot section on Entropialife.

I personally enjoyed the event overall.

I aimed to just get 500 points for guaranteed reward and made like 600 through the weekend with not pushing anything.

I actually like the way the instances were done, with added challenge to make it to middle for the boss (God , I was swearing so much sometimes :DD). But I just like challenges, with challenge there is a reward when you make it. I have not globalled on the boss though :) and one just succided to core when I tried to tag him (that actually pissed me off :D)

Loot was okish, you cannot expect return to even up if you do few of them, or you do them in one straight streak.
But this is up to everyone to understand what works for them.

In overall, for me it was a good thing to spice things up. And the energy boosters were just nice addition.
(was eating those on our dasp hunt on Saturday, it's a nice thing :))

Oh, and gz EMW for looting the Adjusted Hedoc, saw the message in chat.

Why did you battle towards the boss?
I just pulled all mobs of one side past the boss to get a free way.

Then i started to kill the mobs near the revive until boss spawn.
Then stated to pull boss to revive and killed it there.

Die, fap and return to killing is faster than trying to stay alive :D
High dps long range weapon helps too.

With this trick i did some lvl5 runs with pretty low defense costs :wise:
