News: Marcimex Unrest

[Bertha Bot]

Breaking News - New hordes of Marcimex, the giant spider-like pests of Calypso, are crawling up from their underground habitats and are swarming several locations across Calypso. Highly alert and aggressive, these insects have already attacked several groups of colonists!



The Calypso Defence Force (CDF) has issued a High Alert Warning for areas around Boreas, Cyclops Volcano, Jurra Plateau, and Twin Peaks, where the infestations have been most intense. Scientists from the Colonial Xenobiology Institute (CXI) also expect the infestations to spread to additional areas if not contained swiftly.



Senior Xenobiology researchers theorize that the Marcimex infestation is related to increased colonist activity on the planet and as the insects’ breeding season is approaching, their aggressive behavior has intensified.



Colonists are advised to approach the Marcimex hordes with caution. However, fighting off the Marcimex from cities, outposts and roads should be a priority for every combat-capable colonist on Eudoria. All Marcimex kills will earn credit in the Codex reward system.



We wish all brave colonists that dare to fight back against these insects good luck and happy hunting!

[DavinFelth]

someone pass me the caffeine cause this is snooze fest..

 

[ChairmanEdgewise]

Cool event

but why is the spawns always so tiny???

Nowhere near enough mobs per hunter during peak hours....

this results in frustrated hunters, less cycled peds, activity down and in some cases people just give up and logg of because of the chaos that follows

gief better/bigger spawn areas!!

 

[MarcusLucius]

why tf dont MA just reveal spots + maturity? MAs take on gametheory? or what?

 

[slither]

I remember when these 'events' used to have interesting loot. Now they just push it all into boxes.

 

[Sulje]

Garbage Unrest - there, I fixed it for you.

 

[Gopher]

Is the loot more interesting with these events?

sadly that is still a no

 

[Msturlese]

after shooting codex to rank 7 i remembered why i stopped to shot last yeaR at RANK 6

long HP in shared monster for some (rare) kidney oil

the robots horde at boreas can take care of them.....

 

[Killahbee]

What's the benefit of participating in this "event" @My|MindArk ?

 

[Sulje]

What's the benefit of participating in this "event" @My|MindArk ?

Get that kidney oil and stfu

 

[MeiGDLing]

Well on the plus side I don't have to do the stupid mind reaver bridge when I want to hunt marcimex, so there's that.

 

[aVaLON_52]

What's the benefit of participating in this "event" @My|MindArk ?

give MA more $$ duh..

 

[Kristoliquid]

Any shared loot ones?

 

[True Juan]

Why not give us MUTATED PLUMATERGUS or PRANCER.

Would be nice to get something that doesnt have great spawns throughout the year.

 

[AckerZ]

Any shared loot ones?

all shared loot.

Why not give us MUTATED PLUMATERGUS or PRANCER.

Yeah gotta say this event seems really boring beyond getting some quick codex

 

[Sulje]

all shared loot.

Yeah gotta say this event seems really boring beyond getting some quick codex

good idea, add faucervix on the list

 

[Bones]

good idea, add faucervix on the list

Please give us some faucervix.

 

[Msturlese]

Please give us some faucervix.

would be great, lacking it... go Zephirus, jump north in the small lake with a range weapon, there is a constant spawn of about 6 on the borders of the lake.

@TrueJuan Nice idea.. i think that "Mutated" would "wink" too much to Arkadia.
