Why this solo Mayhem is just a joke!!!

GoNi said:
Man don´t tell me you UBERs have no tagging rifle that deals some serious damage too.

Although I get the problem, its a little pointless that highest skilled players in game with the best gear available, complain that they have to use a rifle instead their MM to be competitive.

And wasn´t it all the years the same that terminator won the events, so nothing changed xD

before I answer post your field of activity you are competitive and I will find a way to explain it in your own words what's wrong about this because you seem not to understand.
 
The concept was good, the implementation lacked...As for profession problem I don't know how to please melee/handgun/rifle users other than:

- Split each category into close combat and ranged combat (anyone can freely enter any one of these cats and decide which best suits him - hg probably close combat if you've got a 20 m range gun...)
 
I think MA just needs to up the density of daikiba by 2x for next year and all will be perfect, everything else in the event is pretty damn well made. The spawn just isn't set up fairly for those with closer ranged weapons.
 
How about you have 3 diffrent layouts of the event, 1 layout is more suited for rifle another is more suited for pistols and last is more melee oriented.

and by melee layout, more like a maze map berphaps with none aggressive monsters.

Each layout is "locked" to that weapon of the layout.

This way all weapons can be a challanger for the nr1 spot.

And get rid of the slow down shit, doesn't hurt rifle users much but it destroys the short range hunters.

If you could activate your pet to take a bite out the next mob and return with it, whilst your killing one...problem solved :)

pretty sure toki will be using that lr85...player 2 has entered the game bitches;)
 
Don't do events. Don't even play during events (loot is worse during events).
 
Well, when it comes to activity all you need to do is check the top lists in solo to see that there are atleast 10 times more people competing than in previous merry mayhems, before it was like 20 people that could win and fought hard, the rest just hunted for fun, now with 10 categories you have atleast 200 people with times below 25 minutes and that is some high tier weapons hunting to rech those times and below.

That I don't know about, it's possible.

It would be kind of a shame if winning the cats just came down to finding enough t10 armatrix LR's. But then if that weren't possible people would complain it just came down to having enough money to have the right t10 unlimited weapon.

To be clear we both used my tier 9.8 cdf. Times improved with learning the layout better each run and possibly more crits. Will be better when the gun finally hits 9.9 and can be tiered.

It quoted wrong, this was in response to asking what gun we used by carle

Well it's not just that they don't play the game - it's that they are not even ALLOWED to play the game. As soon as you officially work for or are affiliated in any business capacity with Mindark (IE as a planet partner) you are no longer allowed to play the game in the traditional sense. You can login and chat but you can't hunt/mine/craft.

It's the same reasoning as why casino personnel aren't allowed to gamble in the casino they work at. Additionally, can you IMAGINE the shitstorm of chaos that would ensue if MA staff starting globalling, hoffing and god forbid hitting an ATH? People would call bullshit and sell out and quit the game so fast it would melt their servers (and bank account).

Entropia was not created by gamers for gamers in order to create a super fun entertaining experience... it was created by businessmen looking to extract money from gamers efficiently and quickly with as little overhead as possible which they have masterfully done for over a decade. Shit, I would argue that Mindark pioneered the micro-transaction long before all these mobile startups got involved.

...yeah that's why MA doesn't like him and hates Rocktropia. He's always pushing the envelope and bending rules lol. One of the reasons why RT was the ONLY planet that was "not permitted to have a Christmas gift for participants" this year.

That's why ND is more pursuing his own thing now. Because MA hates him and shuts down like every one of his ideas to improve the game and refuses to implement most of the shit he asks for. ...Another reason why people are still glitching through the floor in the shops on RT.

Thats not 100% true......

In 2009 my Wife and me did a sweden-trip visiting diffrent city's.
One of it was Gothenburg and the MA Office.
At the Walls at the Office you could see diffrent pictures of MA staff with some Texts.....
"My ingame Profession is to craft Weapons and use them in PVP" for example.

I could bet everyone of them has a Avatar and use them.

That was also 2009 and a MUCH different time at MA when the general public was allowed to even visit their offices. From what hear these days they've got like armed guards and shit and don't let anyone that doesn't work there inside.

Things have changed a lot since then I think including their policies on how the staff are allowed to interact with the game and community in general.

I also think this is partly due to how much of a fine line they walk between being a game and/or casino. Authorities have taken closer looks at Entropia numerous times over the years and it's probably still on their radar (so to speak) today. So trying to play it safe I think there policy tries to stay in line with the same typical rules casinos follow (just in case).

In any case it's obvious that Entropia has strayed from their original vision of a persistent online universe where people can "meet, make business and communicate" and instead is a lot more centered on the notion of trying to be an e-sport casino. lol

Tried one round of Cat 6, my health is 219 Lol.
I only had 55 peds and I shot like 30 creatures.
Left with 4 xmas strong boxes and sold them.

Cool looking area, like how "random" mobs spawn and have to get at the boss.
The level "caps" suck. Maybe I want to just have fun and play in cat 1, 2, etc
and I can't believe I lost all peds in under 30 creatures (wait I can believe it)

I'm super glad they at least made SOME change to MM, it was the same for many years
but this change isn't exciting.

Make loot not suck and I'l play this game all day and spend money.
When I try now, feels like I'm driving around town with a hole in my gas tank and flat tires.

Invest in tools and you don't have to ask Mindark to change loot.You will take it without asking for permission.
 
Could have predicted another complaining thread...
>MA puts out event
>People Participate in event
>People get Mad at event
>People Come onto forums and complain
---------
Cycle repeats. When is the next event? Surely, this cycle will continue.

When real money is wagered and on the line people have every right to voice an opinion, no matter good or bad. Calling it 'complaining' is just silly.

If we all accepted everything for how it was nothing would ever change.

Hey buddy, take a chill pill...

I don't see people complaining outside of casinos? Shit, casinos are making billions a month :confused:
 
only made two runs in Cat4....was not worth it because I never even had the slightest feeling I could compete at all.
15 minutes?
Are the different respawn rates for different people ?
Not complaining that I had no chance with a HG, just that it did not feel right from the spawnrate...felt like at least 2 minutes after a kill and no way where there 100 daikibas spawned at once, more like 20.

This exploit kinda helps us understand some quicker times.

That's why i removed the post after 1 min but Xen is god damn fast, my bad making assumtions and kinda write that one in affect.

But your #2 place kinda proves my point from first post, Another L gun at a top 3 spot.
But grave is correct as well, event not too balanced and I would love more healing effort as well to find the truly best player.
Categorys from 8 and down didnt need to wair anything but est and no need to heal.

Sorry. :D

Anyway, I don't think it's a good situation that the key to winning is sniping a specific extreme high TIR L weapon off auction or having an arrangement with a crafter. That's a problem. On the other hand, events shouldn't be dominated by those holding a unique or very limited quantity available unlimited weapon. I'm not sure what to do about that.
 
I don't see any problem whatsoever about L weapons winning events. Why shouldn't they? Seriously I need an amazing reason why.

Why should a UL weapon win events just because a player came to an arrangement with a buyer, had the money to tier it up and then run the event 10-20 times to achieve the best RNG spawn formation - when one of those L buyers, who spends 500% MU only gets 2 chances?

This does the following:

1) Allows crafters to actually make a substantial profit crafting guns - no longer are all crafted guns created equal
2) Allows players who do not have the ability to purchase a $3000 weapon to compete
3) Allows those same players to compete against players who simply have the ability to borrow such gears

As far as I could tell rates were the same but spawn areas were random. I only had 3 runs on my L gun by the time it was T10 so I would load up the instance and if the starting point didn't have 10 Daikiba or so I'd just exit and go back in.

I had to tag several at a time and never stop moving in a circle around the event area. I'm wary about the guy in 1st on Cat 4 who hasn't played in 2 years but I can assure you my run at just under 15 min was completely legit with 3 x15 pills, Aug Ares, Aug Hermetic, and Shocktrooper.

Tools? I'm guessing you mean UL weapons? If so - I hear you, but my faith in this game is so shattered, the last thing I would want to do is to "invest" more money in it. Thinking - oh my loot sucks, maybe i should spend 3 thousand dollars and get a weapon and it will all change - seems like a horrible idea. I don't disagree with you that it could change with such an investment, but to me - spending thousands so I can squeeze by getting 98% is just not worth it. I know this is a side topic, but I feel I should be able to play, spend money, and with a resonable intelligence and decision making process based on years experience in the game, I should get 90% return easily. By that I mean I deposit 100 dollars on the first of the month and by the end of the money I have 85-90 dollars left. Instead I'm playing another MMO, spent about 60 or so in a year and a half, and play hours daily with just as much fun and challenge. Still, nothing compares to EU, and If I could I'd be playing it all day instead.
Like I said, this got wayyy off topic.

Solo MM is a joke - at least it's weird as hell.

You DON'T? What casino do you go to? Why don't you come see me outside a casino? I'll be swearing it up or crying one of the two. They make billions because people become addicts. I think you won't see it because casinos kick you off the property quick :)

Anyhow, I'm not trying to attack your statement, just was my reaction - not negative. I'm all for taking chill pills.
