Hello everyone, we are doing something a little different this preview, I hope you enjoy the short video. [MEDIA] Stay safe out there :bye: Shawna

Basically the same apart from everything being different.What is the story behind this?
I don't know much about it. It is the Cyrene version of Viceroy, no?
The corporate bs statement after pulling the rug. That was just adding insult to injury.What is the scandal?

Exactly. And it is tradeable. I can't wait to see the Perfected version's stats.Basically the same apart from everything being different.![]()
As others confirmed it was the Cyrene version of Viceroy
As for history buffs on what the scandal was:
Back in 2014 When A.R.C. Rank 1 mission first added to game its reward was changed from A.R.C. Initiate Armor
As I recall the reward wasn't available then and speculations on mats needed were plentiful.
When reward got added in 2015 it was accidently renamed Stolen Imperium Armor (UL)
The mission to get that avatar bound armor was deactivated 12 days later which frustrated many players.
Because Stolen Imperium Armor was supposed to be through Imperium missions, not through A.R.C.
The Rank 1 A.R.C. reward then became A.R.C. Inaugurates Armor (L)
As for what's happened after those 2015 changes...
I wasn't active after 2019 so I'll suggest post #16 in another topic.
Question: - Should MindArk bring back the Cyrene Armors?
I understand that there is already a thread here with a lot of discussion on this topic but I was hoping to get more clarity through a poll such as this one. I'm beginning to think that maybe the reason MindArk is unable to make a decision as to whether they should bring those Armors back to...www.planetcalypsoforum.com
PS. I was only doing ark in 2014-2015 so please correct any details I got wrong.
Oh no people who spend time on Cyrene to grind the badges will have first access.And now only a few chosen will be able to actually take armor parts from the vendor becuse of required daily badges.
ppl mad their imperium sets will probably decrease in value, funny afScandal? Why?
you mean people who's responsible for the whole scandal ? Who printed 18+ blue sets the moment npc appeared?Oh no people who spend time on Cyrene to grind the badges will have first access
You would have of course have TTed 17 of them if you had the same opportunity.you mean people who's responsible for the whole scandal ? Who printed 18+ blue sets the moment npc appeared?
That's not the problem. The problem is the development teams, both MindArk and Cyrene, who somehow couldn't run some simple calculations with the trove of data they posses or properly handle the fallout of their incompetence. They chose to use The Hammer of Ambiguity, shut down the entire thing and elude to it not ever returning, providing a "new" mission for armor plates which used the same loot and completely devalued the existing market created for these specific and highly sought after armor sets.you mean people who's responsible for the whole scandal ? Who printed 18+ blue sets the moment npc appeared?
I thought it was an expensive mission so I didn't even try it then.And now only a few chosen will be able to actually take armor parts from the vendor becuse of required daily badges.
Exactly. And it is tradeable. I can't wait to see the Perfected version's stats.

Viceroy = Crit ChanceIs there any point to go for Viceroy then? If you can sell the imperium armor and not the Viceroy?
How did they reason here? Doesnt sound fair
Depends what you got on rings. Viceroy gives better DPP boost alone than imperium ever could, so most average hunters like myself will get more benefit from viceroyIs there any point to go for Viceroy then? If you can sell the imperium armor and not the Viceroy?

But most Uber’s already have maxed crit chance anyway, and it’s extremely hard to max crit damage, so those people will benefit more from imperium.
And the more crit chance you have, the more you get out of a crit damage boost, that’s why it’s important investing in crit chance before crit damage.
Viceroy = Crit Chance
Imperium = Crit Damage
I would suggest Viceroy first and work at gear to max Crit Chance, then as you upgrade the gear (which may then include crit chance already) upgrade to Imperium for the Crit Damage.
