News: Summer Mayhem 2025

active/afk gameplay isn’t the issue. Theres plenty of active game play. Theres plenty of afk gameplay. Yes they should have the regular afk mission chain AND this as a secondary event/instance. None of that is an actual problem other than by only having this instead of both you lower the cycle rate, money Mindark makes etc.

The actual problem is 2 fold:

1) not enough marketing/new players and being able to retain new players long term. This is what leads to lower demand and therefore lower mu. More consumers chasing few goods prices go up. Same number of consumers chasing more goods prices go down.

2) don’t devalue the end goal items. Flooding the market with UL gear, then making exceptional versions, but then throw in a vendor that’s empty at all times.

Twen was a horrible idea. Removing the afk mayhem instance was a great way to tank mindarks income. And all they had to do to fix it all was market the game, retain players, and substantially increase the pull cost of an item every time it was pulled.

this assault mayhem will be fun for the half dozen people that actually enjoy it but the rest of us will pass and focus on migration
there was no need to devalue items at all, no need to constantly restock the ever same items - they could have just diversified, been creative, branched out the supplied professions and advanced the levelrange - they made the game faster to skillup without ever thinking of moving the gear along atleast at the same speed - either the skillspeed needed to be reduced or the lvlrange enhanced but not the running on the spot approach.
so while active gameplay is a great thing to have, i agree that removing a big chunk of mindarks income stream without having established a new one seems like driving a car towards a wall and choosing the accelerator instead of the breaks...
 
Why aren't we in Sweden allowed to buy keys to open the strong boxes? I have plenty of boxes in storage :-(
Speaking of strong boxes; MA is also very nice to give us one as an X-mas gift. I wanted to open my gift under the X-mas tree once and used a VPN (GASP!!! Aww NO!) to obtain some keys. MA Santa didn't like that and locked my account to punish the little boy who just wanted to see his shiny(?) gift. Thank you for teaching me to be a law obediant player MA *sniffs*
Just take a quick day trip to Germany and but them while you are there.
 
I didn't start Entropia because I want to spam-click buttons and do jumps and other monkey things. This is a game for chess/poker players not Fortnite players.
I started it because it involves thinking and strategy and budgeting before a hunt, then you can just work with your strategy and budget, trying to improve both.

I saw the same mistake being made by Runescape, they tried to make it what it was not, a second-hand World of Warcraft and they lost playerbase, eventually needing to reinvent Oldschool runescape to get back to the original flavor of the game. It's sad this happens here as well, but as with the Mayhem weapons release fiasco, it is to be expected to not understand the nature of your game and why we play it.

Please employ one or two of your power user players as Business Analyst/ Game Analysts. Or start doing polls for the community when you do extreme changes like these.

Polls not necessarily good. In fact I think AI reading the forum and weighing all opinions equally is what lead too some of this. They are doing things that aren't good for their own financial well being. They will see this soon enough.
 
will rare mayhem tokens still drop?

it always angers me to know MA could care less about actually playing the game
 
I don't think they do not care. It's just a hard to develop AND involve yourself in the same product at the same time. There are specific Product Management strategies that circumvent this, but you would need a person who si good at Product Strategy to implement them, and then give him the power/influence in the company to actually do it.
 
Maybe I'm not seeing it, but aren't those some pretty big downsides to getting 10-80 health points (depending on if you're new or JBK)
It is an insane debuff, basically you are lowering a lot your dpp for more HP. not worth it at all, if it was +5% outgoing damage then I would personally open boxes for it, but -5%? exactly what are they thinking? even more we don't know what's the deterioration and or chip levels that you can use with the implant, unless this is a new implant for normal hunters NOT mindforce users.

P.D: I hope it is a mistake and it's incoming damage, that would make it a very good health/defensive implant.

Pretty decent item for sweat gatherers 😁
I guess not bad for PVP miners if they are not interested in fighting back.
For PVP events like landgrans idk, HP is nice, but -5% damage is a huge cost for extra HP.
 
Should’ve been a ability implant like convert all outgoing damage to cold/acid/electric
Take 10% more damage, every 5th shot does 1.0-1.3X the damage
Some variance would be nice

Does it just reduce the damage, or also the decay/ammo? I guess someone needs to check.
 
Wow i was going to finally play a little bit and now i see all this bullsh... No ring.. no normal afk grinding instance, i'm just going to visit some other planet now

It is a debuff, it just decreases outgoing damage by 5% so if you do 20 damage it is now 19 for the same cost, it shares the same buff name as the hyperion armor but even that increase is just 1.5% with the perfected version.

Overall this is almost worthless UNLESS the -5% is based on incoming damage and it's just a typo.
 
Cosmetic Tokens and Mayhem Tokens can be accumulated throughout several events to purchase cosmetics and more exclusive items, allowing participants to make incremental progress toward their desired rewards.
Can you guys at Mindark change this for this mayhem and also for the future mayhems as it's misleading and as we discovered it's just a lie?

its not a typo but i havent actually tested it, has it been a fairly common drop?
 
Then and now:

nice going on the finish - those awesome rewards make you want to go do it over and over again right .... lol, i finished it just to see if maybe it was worthy...nope...you can farm those mayhem tokens though for the handful of not wanted items that are already flooded in game to the handful of people left...
 
Cool footage - thanks for sharing! What's your feeling on then vs now?
RNG still plays the most important role at the highest stages, good RNG can make it feel like.a breeze, bad RNG can make it a nightmare and make you die or fail several attempts in a row. The instance is fun if you like to challenge your avatar but tis is also RNG and if rewards are slim to none, it's not attractive to do it afterwards...

Quite accurate.

What is that armor?
 
On phase 1 and phase 2 sometimes the nexus stone wont spawn. I got this bug more often in phase 1 tho.
