All pictures that are posted until now are valid as they are. All will be applied only for what will be next.

Great work Hawk!

I have sent a support case to MA... I got the copy paste answer like usual and my support got closed. I am so disappointed right now... This quest will go on as planned but I think I will not make any more of this kind in future. Is their game, so if they turn down free content players choose to organize at their own expense, I am not sure is worth the effort. It may be against the company policy to have to many new players advancing...

Dear sir's,

I have organized a quest on EntropiaForum with the purpose of making new players more active and making them have a purpose in game. I plan to organize such events from now on.

I would appreciate if you will help promoting the event on client loader or on add system in game, or ask the guides to direct the new players to that thread. I think it will help the community and increase activity.

Also, it would be nice if the winner of the quest will get a symbolic item, like a shirt, a hat or a statue, as an appreciation for its effort. He will get the prize I have promised anyway, but many will be more interested in something more official.

I plan to finance such quests in future, and make them with 6 months duration. I will award in future 10k peds for the winner, but only if the result is having more people playing EU. If this one will fail (I.E. I will not have more than 20 participants) I will back off in future.

Thank you for your time and I hope this will work out.

I hate copy paste. Is so rude...

The prize is 3k, and not 3 ped. I was sure is clear...
Updated with papuc stage 1 complete. 200+ SG. 20 points.

Wow 3k ped, I'd love to win that kind of cash
I've played over a year, and 3k ped would take me quite far
Unfortunately I think a newbie with 3k ped would blow it

If you finish this quest you are no longer a newbie.

I wouldn't have expected anything more than that. It's not really a support issue, for starters, and it doesn't fit in with MA's strategy for sponsorship of player-made events.

Take a look at this thread for more info on how MA could get involved with something like this in future:

https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/...ficial-mindark-inworld-event-sponsorship.html

If you can get something interesting happening with this by yourself, then maybe you could get MA to help out or get involved later on.

If you ever attend any of the trade shows with an EU stand then it might also be worth having a chat with some of the MA people there.

This is a great idea but the globaling requirements are unreasonable. I camped bery young and mature (edit: AND old) with p3a unamped, for about 300 peds of ammo (three full P3as), and before that I did at least 12 powerfists, about half smackers and half TT fists. I got two globals. And I don't even think I was very unlucky, that's just how hard it is to global on small mobs. The only global I ever got on Exarosaur was on a Prowler, but with Opalo+A101 you can't handle more than provider really, and I don't think I ever got more than 10-12 peds of loot from all the ones young through old that I hunted.

The crafting globals you should just remove entirely, or require them to be components with <1 ped TT cost per click. It's not very hard to get 10 crafting globals if you click expensive attachments on full condition. Of course you will probably lose a ton of peds unless you bought a good bp, which is prohibitively expensive for most.

From my experience each stage of the quest is doable. If you think is to hard, just don't join.
In order to win, you don't need to finish all the stages, but more than the other participants.

 

[Manique]

interesting and quite hard way to become a uber
its never easy true but some stuff there dont only require skills but also time and money

 

[matthew]

i think this is an AMAZING idea.

+ rep for being a pioneer of the future,

will post again some ideas ect after 1st march

If I was a beginner I would definitely have joined,, unfortunately my first page is almost 11000 points. Well actually I still am just barely more than a beginner.

No question that with time the first few steps are doable. My point was only that what will happen is, people will be hunting the low level mobs far too long, when their skills have gone high enough that they should be using better weapons. Especially on the low level mobs when the globals are as rare as they are, if you are unlucky it could take you maybe all the way until level 8 rifle just to get the exar globals, by which time they could be at level 12 or 13 if they'd moved up to the next gun as soon as their skills allowed. People will be missing out on the SIB of most or maybe all the guns, and the SIB is a great benefit to (L) weapons. Since the goal of undertaking this quest is to progress in EU the "right" way, requiring just one global from exarosaur and 2 from the other low mobs will allow people to take gain skills faster and get to drones and feffs quicker.

Or if you like the number of required globals the way it is, maybe let people use any laser SIB gun they want as long as they have at least, say, 5.0 HA on it. That way if you get unlucky with exarosaur young and mature, you can move up to higher maturity when you gain the skills to use better guns, and still get good eco. Then you will have a better chance to global and move on to the next step.

Just my .

First of all, globals are not get if you are lucky, but if you do things right. If someone will try to win the quest, he will do things right and will get them.
Second of all, if you use a weapon when is in SIB and is not maxed, you get some skills faster and waste economy and money with it. That is a mistake many people do and I made this way of progressing in quest especially to prevent that. There are 2 globals on exarosaur because one you can get in the first day of hunting by luck. The point is to avoid the influence of luck in the outcome of the quest.

Agreed, since you changed some of the quests it's certainly very possible to complete several stages.

I think completing the whole thing will be extremely difficult, and I doubt anyone will finish it. But I think that's the whole point, it's not supposed to be easy.

I think Blackhawk has made this challenging, achievable (at least partially), and fun

 

[CycoKick]

Blackhawk,

I am going to join in on the quest, but just for fun and not to compete, Ill just play with what I am atm but with a similiar budget

Ofc i got a advantage since my skills are higher and ive been around a while, but I never really played smart as nub so id like to give it a go anyhow

 

[CycoKick]

Blackhawk,

Small request,

Can you make a list of unofficial participants that dont qualify for the price but would like to do the quests?

 

[Exanion_Xero]

hmm......i doubt i'd ever gonna even accomplish even 1 of these goals aha, gonna take forever*-)

 

[Gluepot]

If you finish this quest you are no longer a newbie.

I'm too skilled for it I think.....But either way I'll always be a newbie

 

[BlackHawk]

Updated first post with one more prize. 3 haircuts from "Joe" Master Black. His is TI city copper 9 c.

 

[sakuraqueen]

Just a small query on the globals...

I would think that the globals should be solo and not in team. Just wanted to get the confirmation.

I was convinced that is clear that this quest is not for teams. I will add that in the first post and update with the new participant in few minutes.

Keep the registration coming. I am waiting to see the first globals in here.

I have about 10 years experience in photoshop... I am sure I can figure out if is a forged picture.

How? a pixel is a pixel

Note to Marco: Why oh why can't we have a better Event system (new engines aside of course)

A pixel is a pixel, but details will kill someone that tries to forge a picture... I can spot a lot of false screens, but I hope it will not be the case. Anyway, we have Entropia Tracker, and I will ask them to help me find those globals on the tracker. If they fail, I will ask MA to find them. If is a subject you need to investigate concerning a certain situation I know it can be investigated for 1k ped fee. If there are suspicions, I will pay to make sure. But I trust people will not try to cheat. Having the reputation of a scammer will not make life easy for someone.

 

[JohnnyBravo]

EntropiaTracker.com will surely help you on that matter if you have any daubts about a screenshot. Just let us know on WWW.ENTROPIATRACKER.COM

 

[CycoKick]

Entropia tracker does miss globals sometimes.
