Entropia Universe 17.5 Release Notes



New features:

Codex for Partners

  • Next Island and Toulan have now been added to the Codex Challenge system. Other Planet Partners will be added in the next Version Update. Existing hunting missions already in progress on those planets will be available for one year for completion.



Codex Meta Challenge

  • A new system of attribute rewards has been added to the Codex, which calculates rewards (retroactively) for all existing Codex Challenges, across all planets.



Changes:

  • Removed ammo consumption and deterioration for missed shots from all non-ballistic and sweep weapons, including in PVP zones and in Space.



Fixes:

  • Loading speed for the Codex has been improved
  • Server stability improvements



Planet Calypso Content Release 2020.0.6



Changes:

  • Reduced the weight of “RDI Designs” hand in items
  • The Tezlapod creature has received a graphical update



Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where the Trade Terminals in Sector A1 & Sector B1 of the Secret RDI Lab were not working as intended.
  • Fixed an issue in Sector A1 & Sector B1 of the Secret RDI Lab where it was possible to interact with and receive damage from the “Effect Reset” terminal more than once before it disappears.



MindArk and the Planet Partners strive to ensure a smooth and problem-free Version Update. Nevertheless, even after extensive testing some issues may arise after release. Such issues are often addressed via mini-patches directly after a release and in subsequent patches. If you feel that the possibility of encountering minor issues or bugs directly after a Version Update affects your gameplay to an extent that Entropia Universe is not enjoyable, please wait until the mini-patches have been released and any last minute issues have been resolved.

There are still missed shots but now you will not loose ammo. You only loose DPS.

Non ballistic and sweep weapons only? So doesn't include guns, am I reading that right.

Am I assuming correctly, that for our game simulation BLP does not count as ballistic (as it would in terrestrial physics)? So this leaves rockets and grenades, yes? Which makes for an odd situation for rocket-equipped Sleipnirs in Space, which has BLP as secondary weapon. I'm not quite seeing the logic behind that distinction.
Edit: The above reply was posted during writing this. Flamethrowers count under BLP in this game, you think it makes a difference now?
 
I've gotten a lot of cool skills(stamina,agility etc. ) in the meta codex, and ... will I be taken to the reed plantations in Barbados?
P.S. I realized these are awards for past. THAAANKS!

Just to clarify this point; this refers to shots that did not hit the target (ones that were fired into air/space). These shots will no longer consume ammo or cause decay when they happen in PvP zones, just as is already the case since earlier in non-PvP zones.

Thank you. Confusion remains about the distinction implied in the wording above between non-ballistic and ballistic weapons.

This was long overdue! Greatly appreciated.
But not impressed with the nerf to the Christmas ring.. ??

Rockets, Grenades and Sleipnir rockets still cost ammo in pvp for missed shot.

Ballistic weapons are those you do not know when fired if they will hit or not, like rockets and grenades.

Okay, so this does indeed include Flamethrowers as noted by someone else above? Since otherwise they classify under BLP.
 
NI and Toulan first... seems odd. less mobs maybe?

It sounds like the PP teams do a lot of the legwork on the transition, so it’s whatever team gets done first. It may be out of MA’s hands what ones are ready first.
 
RT dev team is almost non existent
Ark dev team MIA
Cyrene dev team usually experience delays
 
These changes are awesome!

Wondering what the retroactive criteria were for awarding attribute challenge. I'm at rank 63 and my soc mate is rank 15. Any ideas?

I believe it is based on codex completion across all planets, which would mean the retroactive rewards are based on calypso codex progress.
 
Codex implementation is a bit concerning. I can't view Caly mobs on Rocktopia or SI. Can't see if I'm skilling properly if I hunt Merp, Exo, Argo, Diakiba, ect. Also would like to not have to travel to claim rewards.

What happened to Xmas ring??

Rings becoming too overpowered?

So I went and checked out the new christmas ring, and its pretty dope right? But has anyone noticed a trend with the rings getting more powerful. This is the 3rd ring in a row with 3% crit on it, and this is a left hand ring... But not only does it have 3% crit. It has 30% crit dmg.... Thats...

It had a 5% Life Steal Buff and in a thread someone was complaining about the ring being too good and MA stated it will instead be a -5% Life Steal Debuff.

Oh wow, that’s kinda pooper ring now
Need +5% elsewhere to offset
Hmmm
 
For what it's worth, codex meta rewards are insanely OP. Personally they feel like they are 10-20x what they should be. And yes I totally expect to be flamed for saying this.
