***PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT IF YOU FIND SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY IN PLANET CALYPSO! IT MIGHT PROVIDE THE INFO YOU NEED BEFORE CONTACTING THE SUPPORT DEPARTMENT!***

Settlement Update
Added Fort Sisyphus, located NW of Hadesheim Crater
  • Ideal for new colonists.
  • Added a hunting mission chain that rewards CDF Scout armor parts.
  • This smaller Fort is also a Dynamic Event area, with a different and shorter format.
  • Arriving to the area during the event will give quick Dynamic Event and shared creature info.
  • A CDF Scout at Orthos West Mound can take you to an outpost close to the Fort.
The Calypso Defense Force now offers the opportunity for colonists to earn access to the CDF Upgrade service. The first available upgrade is for the Teleportation Chip II. Talk to Liaison Guiying in Fort Ithaca for more information.

Additions
Snarg Hunting Challenge Iron mission chain.
Kerberos Hunting Challenge Bronze mission.
Combibo Hunting Challenge Bronze mission.
Erionite Mining mission chain.
Alicenies Liquid Mining mission chain.
Force Nexus Mining mission chain.
Imperial Guardians upgrade, visit Liaison Atwell in Fort Ithaca.

  • Adjusted A-3 Justifier Mk.II.
CDF upgrade, visit Liaison Guiying in Fort Ithaca.

  • Adjusted Teleportation Chip II.

Avatar Statues
Monuments in the form of avatar statutes have been added at the following locations:

  • Twin Peaks Main.
  • Twin Peaks Octagon.
  • Port Atlantis Main.
  • Port Atlantis Waterfront.
  • Cape Corinth.
  • Fort Troy.
  • Minopolis.
  • Zychion.
  • Fort Ithaca.
  • Nymphtown.
  • Half Moon Bay.
  • Athena Spaceport.
The deeds for each of these statues will be placed on the auction in mid-December. After the conclusion of the auctions, the deed holders will then have the opportunity to immortalize their avatars in the statues.

Changes
Polished text for the “Sweaty Swamp” mission.
Text clarification in the Start Room dialogues.
Better responsiveness for some NPCs.
Polished Attribute Token Trader appearance.
Removed the Revive Terminal from the platform East of Hadesheim Crater.
The last objective in the mission “Scout the Jungle” now has a waypoint.
No more Robot Troopers South of Fort Pandora.
Naming structure change for all Mining missions, they now use the following format:

  • Mining Challenge: Pyrite I.
  • Mining Challenge: Iron III.
  • etc.

Naming structure change for all Daily missions, they now use the following format:
  • Daily Hunting Challenge 1: Combibo.
  • Daily Hunting Challenge 2: Bristlehog.
  • Daily Hunting Challenge 3: Aetherex.
  • Daily Manufacturing Challenge 1: Basic Pattern Pants.
  • Daily Mining Challenge 1: Frigulite Stone.
  • etc.

Contaminated and PvP zone adjustments (Note: these are minor, perhaps temporary, adjustments pending more substantial improvements planned for future Version Updates):
  • Akmuul Island Contaminated Zone.
    • Radar is on.
    • No Vehicles.
    • No Pets.
  • Camp Echidna Contaminated Zone.
    • Radar is on.
    • No Vehicles.
    • No Pets.
  • Fort Argus PvP Zone.
    • No Vehicle Spawning.
  • Oil Rig PvP Zone.
    • Radar is on.
    • No Pets.
Land Grab Forts adjustments (Note: these are minor, perhaps temporary, adjustments pending more substantial improvements planned for future Version Updates):
  • Half of the service terminals in the main hub of the forts have been removed and the remaining have been placed on the upper level away from the LG claim to reduce the safe zone area that can be too advantageous for defenders covering the claim.
  • It is now not possible to spawn vehicles inside the LG area when event is active.

Fixed Issues
  • Fixed an issue in the “Research Recovery (Daily)” mission where the mission didn’t update properly when exiting the cave.
  • Fixed an issue where one could get stuck when trying to enter the cave during the “Argonautical Assassination” mission.
  • Fixed an issue where faulty text was appearing in the Belkar, Iron, Lysterium and Zinc Mining missions.
  • Fixed an issue where the objectives didn’t update in the mission “Shooting Star”.
  • Fixed an issue where one could receive double progress from the Research Equipment Boxes during the “Research Recovery (Daily)” mission.
  • Fixed an exploit where one could use the “Row Your Boat” missions as an emergency teleport.
  • Fixed several Estate issues.

Known Issues
  • Shadow Armor is shinier than intended.
  • It is possible to spawn vehicles in the Oil Rig area, it should be similar to the Fort Argus PvP Zone.
  • There’s an unintended dip in the ground in Fort Fury.
  • Interacting with Liaison Atwell during the “Liaison Guiying’s Task” mission will trigger that mission’s in-progress dialogue.
  • Fort Argus PvP area sometimes disables radar.

good choice with the radar!
finally pvp is fun again
 
Turns out you don't have to be a living legend or have epic skills in the game to get immortalized, you can just buy yourself a statue on your Day 1 if you have enough peds.

If you have enough peds you can be a living legend or have epic skills in the game on your Day 1 :laugh:

But I wonder what the text on the statuies will be. "I'm stupid to give 10k for this shit" :laugh: "Fu** MA" will go for 20k
 
:laugh: bad update for low skilled players not a chance against bigger avatars like Messi and the other two ghost avatars joda and stryker
 
Adjusted Justifier mk2 looks to be a decent gun for the casual player.
 
Entropedia entry for adjusted mk2 has been created, only missing decay test.

Adjusted A-3 Justifier Mk.II

If someone can do a decay test but don't want to mess with entropedia feel free to PM me the value and a screenshot if possible. The value should land between 0.1 and 0.49 PEC (Excellent).

Cheers.

EDIT: decay calculated from loader news and updated on entropedia. all done.

Fixed an exploit where one could use the “Row Your Boat” missions as an emergency teleport.

Mindark fixed this exploit within a couple of weeks of being made aware of it. Fast work! :thumbup:
 
U forgot to put No Vehicles in oil rig ? but i like this update. Good work :)
 
Nice update :)

Time to kill some oldbeginners.
 
Another boring update, couple of tweaks, item upgrade, few iron missions....... yawn.

Where is the content?

Stop spending money generated by Planet Calypso on developing Compets.
 
So I gave a good idea to honor players about their humble efforts and now MA Makes it so you buy a statue to honor yourself?
That just sounds idiotic.

Imagine if some know scammer buys a statue thing, and has one with a message mocking ppl he scammed.
That would be a "nice" thing, this has negative input for me, disapointing
 
Buying a statue for yourself is... :handjob:

Please think of something else to sell instead of littering our game with monuments to someone's ego.
 
this smells like Neverdies idea with those statues... bet he is the first to buy such a shit. and possibly the only one. at least i hope so.

News just in, player models for the first Entropia avatar statute!
 
But I wonder what the text on the statuies will be. "I'm stupid to give 10k for this shit" :laugh: "Fu** MA" will go for 20k

More like 100k+, it's a great investment, just imagine - "Coloring your armors and weapons black @ boxes, you can trust me, don't you see this statue of me?" :D
 
U forgot to put No Vehicles in oil rig �� but i like this update. Good work :)

It's a Oil Rig , not a god damn plantation ^^ Gotta have oil fumes and weaponised cars, trucks, hellis smoking up the place ! No TP chips for the full circumference, now that i like.
 
the statue idea intrigues me. even though it should've been used for competitions rather than being the moneymaking scheme of the month
 
Statues or busts for avatars who passed in RL which could be purchased by family and friends to put in a hall gallery at the currently defunct Memorial Island, that would have been a nice idea. Pure vanity items, mmmkay.
 
I like this update

+ REP MA
 
Would those statues be only for avatars or do we get to "immortalize" items, mobs and certain parts of anatomy?

Well indeed. New idea is to not let the mobs trigger to run after the pitbull and cars i pvp zone.
So those who need mobtrain to control the rig need to run them in by them self :):smoke:

I agree. A row of statues of merry mayhem champions would be cool ?

You gave them the ideea with the statues ? How pathetic is that from you, to take the Planet Cyrene credits for this ? They were the first ones to think about statues for players. They payed something back to the pioneers who helped Cyrene to grow and develop so nicely. But MA is always after money, they will monetize everything :laugh:
