Q&A Thread - The Next Chapter

Status
More questions:

Will there be a system implemented for safe loaning of items?

Will there be a system for, if 2 or more people want to buy a LA together, it can be safely done? Trust is powerful, but security is even more.

Oh, and I liked this one, so I I'll ask it again:
Will you start dropping more DNA pieces/DNA pieces that haven't dropped yet of current mobs that aren't able to be created at the moment, so LA owners and hunters can have more diversity?
 
Marco please answer more 410 people

Marco great to see you again in forum ....
I done one petition at 09/05/2009 today is 27/01/2011 much more then one year more then 410 people sign a petition agree some of the things happen in mining system is not correct and we wanna help to improve that...

Just 3 quick questions i would like to see the answer please dont let us wait more 1 year... :mad:

1. When beacons gonna come for sure?
2. Can you please make more events and mission for miners?
3. Why not Unlimited Finders on L series ? Like tk120... Hunters have the weapons L in unl version...

Please listening more then 410 human minds and answer...
 


1. where does the "planet calypso" game and player base fit into SEE's overall business strategy?


2. does SEE recognize a commitment to maintain the integrity of existing systems, and follow through on re re-implimenting old ones... are all systems coming back?


3. what changes (without getting into specifics) does SEE feel are necessary for the RCE concept to appeal to a broader market?

Where are the other 960000 registered players Mary Jane, cause that is only a minut fraction? :scratch2:

Just kidding ofc :tongue2:.
 
  1. Why did you/MA decide to make other planets that have no ties to the calypso storyline etc. To me this only breaks the immersion and the story. Why not instead expand the universe on your own?
  2. When will you start a proper marketing campaign and not just the hyped stories about big sales of LA's
  3. Why do you keep changing the timer? ;P Now it's too random.

Not sure if this has been asked yet:

As more & more planets are added are we still going to have to keep all the clientside stuff for every single one of those planets in our computers, and include all that crap in updates and VUs, even the ones we don't want to visit? What are the plans for that?

and oh yeah any chance this game is ever gonna be as entertaining to play as the other MMOS out there without costing 1000 times more than they do? Screwing around with Punys till 15$ runs out gets old real quick. Any plans to spread the loot out more instead of 1000000 people getting 1 Oil and one person getting 263584618860.89 peds? Yeah I know that's MA's thing but you oughta be pressing them for it instead of cowering from them.
 
Is there going to be interaction (TP, spaceship travel, auction house listing) between planet Michael and Calypso or is it going to be one of those independent planets that were mentioned some time ago?

I think Planet MJ should be independent but if it isn't, How are you going to handle the enormous difference between gameplays of both planets? will PMJ dancing moves travel back to Calypso? will Calypso weapons travel to PMJ?
 
I think this has been addressed.

It is indeed planned that in the future you should have the option to only download the planets you are interested in visiting.

Unfortunately MindArk did not have that system in place before Rocktropia's release.

Some of this....most of this...is MA specific, but since we have no outlet of communication....im asking you!


0) Will the number of developers on planet calypso be increasing due to the SEE acquisition? Or will they instead be staying the same, or even worse decreasing? This is a very important question, a lot of players are already quite annoyed with the pace of development.

1) Can we get quarterly 'state of the game' posts, about which direction you are taking the game.

2) Can we get monthly 'in development' posts stating what you are working on right now.

3) Can we get more data logging options. Such as "you killed xxxx" in your chat winow; sometimes i like to know what i just looted when i forget what maturity i killed. How about loot messages in the chat window for solo play like team play stating what items you just looted. That sort of things.

4) Can we have the option to have multiple UI loot windows open at the sam time. So each corpse looted yields a new loot window instead of putting it on top of the old one. And/or an option to auto clear the old loot out of the window when a new creature is looted.

5) Auction, any plans to have this split by planet, its getting to cluttered and only going to get MUCH worse as time goes on. It doesn't have to be a separate auction, but we need a way to select 1 planet only or all planets.

6) Will melee be altered to be brought into line with ranged weapons? What i mean by this currently you have to pay markup on 100% of your decay with melee while its only a tiny fraction for hand guns. This makes it uneconomical to use the lions share of melee weapons. Even a couple percentage of markup will destroy melee weapons. You can implement something along the lines of the structural integrity system used on vehicles.

7) Any plans for new storage containers that aren't so restrictive? Weight reducing containers that arent so rare?

8) Any plans on increasing the item limit for storage? Hundreds of new common items have been added since that limit was set it could really use a bump.

9) Will any stat ever effect weight limits, nothing seems to.

10) Will any stat ever effect run speed, agi use to, doesnt seem to do anything now.

11) Will we ever be told what scopes and sights really do, or are they going to remain useless forever? And NO you did NOT answer this question. As far as players can tell they still seem to do absolutely nothing.

12) Will enhancers ever be changed such that they have a static usage rate like ammo, or at least a counter, or decay, or something we can count on? Rather then just randomly loosing 10 on one shot just because?

13) Any plans to give items a small bonus from tiering without enhancers? Such that a tier 1.0 item is always better then a tier 0.9 even without enhancers. For instance a small bump in durability for armor, or a small bump in damage for weapons, or a small bump in healing for faps.

14) Will the out of memory error when you have plenty of free ram ever be addressed? Im guessing this is due to the 2 gig process limit in 32 bit windows, is this a correct guess? Has it been looked into? Is it feasible to fix or not? If not, what do you plan to do about it?

Thats all i can think of at the moment, besides all the other questions that have already been asked.
 
The Art of Movement!

Hey Marco,

I have one main question about a system I'd like to see much more of in Entropia.

Movement.​

What are the situation, plans, developments etc regarding our Avatar Movement system?

I made this thread a while ago talking about how I would like to see more "Parkour-like" movements in Entropia. While I don't expect everything to be done right now, I'd like to know what you guys think about the possibility of implementing a smoother and more developed movement system.

It could be nice if more movements come along with being able to sit and lay down again.

For some inspiration, please check this stuff out.

 
I REALLY REALLY REALLY dont want to waste my time downloading something like Planet Michael. Please dont say I will have to spend bandwidth and time downloading something I will never use just to play on Calypso.

So, the question is, will the selective planet updates/downloads etc be in operation before all these "pop star nothing to do with PE" planets come online?
 
I just have 2 questions, the first you should have answered years ago:

Can and DO MA let certain ppl loot fine items. I hope and suspect "no" but it would be nice to get an official statement on this. That you never denied this after all this time when ppl have asked this or equivalent smells fishy to me.

also

I would also like to have some idea if/how you ensure that ppl with knowledge of internal workings of the loot system doesnt exploit this knowledge (directly or indirectly via buddies).
 
1. Why am I here?
2. What will SEE do differently to make me wanna stay on Planet Calypso?
3. What are the 3 major challenges that undermine full utilization of the idea behind Planet Calypso?


Some
 
BlackHawk said:
1) If SEE goes bankrupt, our avatars will be terminated?
2) If we choose to move to another planet, our avatars will still be linked to Calypso?
3) When we deposit or withdraw, we affect Calypso in any way?
4) When we are active in game and use game mechanics, generating costs, do we help more SEE or MindArk?
5) If our avatar moves on another planet, SEE will have any benefits from our activity there?
6) How do you plan to address the avatars involved in developing other planets and having knowledge of graphics created for future, knowledge of event mobs and released new lands on their planets? Can they still be equal players with all of us and have properties and businesses on Calypso or whatever the new name may be??
7) Is is possible to convince MA to make the loot system more average loot oriented at least in some parts of the game, and have it Casino like in a limited number of activities? Or even better, remove Casino like and huge variances all together...


I probably have more... but that is all for now.

IMHO, those are probably some of the best questions so i've quoted them again.:)

I'm not sure if it is in your domain now, but in the forum there are some references to your coments regarding loot, decay and MA's profit....

If you think you can't or won't answer to some of the questions here (or in this threasd) please get the answers from MA officals.......at least you'll have time to do that!

So, can you please clarify the following questions?

1. Is it true that MA takes 10% of the TT decay (for simplicity i'm referring to hunting only)? So the return rate is 90% of TT value for the longer term?
2. If so, from what kinds of decay? Ammunition, Weapons, FAP Armors?
3. If MA takes 10% (or whatever %) how is this shared with the planet partners?

4, What are the sources of Income by the planet partners as it relates to ingame activities?

5. Does the loot manager re-work the loot system to affect loot drops from uber mobs (like the hydra event) or Planet partner sponsored events?
.......and if so, how will it be decided for different planet partners sponsored events?

6. What is/are the procedures in place to prevent exploit by players (secret avatars, relatives, friends) who might have insider info about the current system, and future development plans of MA/planet partners?

Yeah but just imagine, PacMan with CE2 graphics and an RCE! :laugh:

Ok will stop being off topic now ;) lol
 
Will there be any new uses for sweat?
 
1... What is the current ETA for launch of Planet Micheal? wont hold you to it, just want an idea of how far off this will be.

2... Will there be a clear split between (all) planets? many sub questions follow. globals are currently "universals", will they return to just broadcasting across the planet? can you confirm the client loader and download will be planet specific? will the auction be seperated, or at least filtered to remove all other planets.

3... Will SEE promote the planets seperately, and not neglect the established world at the expense of the new?

Based on years and years of experience I don't have an iota of faith in anything these people say, so I guess it boils down to what it is you want to believe.
 
Whats your thoughts on old entropiaforum.com coming back online again? :rolleyes:

Oh I don't believe it. I'm pretty sure we've learned that MA/FPC can control the loot when and where they want.
 
Will Planet Michael have a "NeverDIEland" building/area ?
(didn't read the whole thread so I guess somebody already asked this but still couldn't resist).
 
I dont know whether to be sad or happy about the purchase.

More a worry, this.
Will, in the future, the emphasise of SEE VW, be Planet Micheal (shudders at such a thing still even being mentioned) if SEE VW see fit to make that so.
By that, I hope Calypso does not ever EVER take a back seat ride, to the above mentioned planet. Moving office, where the developers will be together, I can see Calypso staff being dragged away, to work on PM. What worries me, is that Calypso still has many many things still missing, and I dont want to see it stagnate.

If that does not happen, then I wish you all 200% success.
 
Just an additional question to my earlier ones.
Have you given any thought to compeitions for ideas, storylines, new products for the players to help with development?
This would give you an idea of what the players ACTUALLY want and also provide clear evidence of the willingness to listen to players.
