Planet Cyrene March 2015 VU Preview

care to clarify?

Such another huge disappointment.....
Such a large amount of ped spent on cyrene this last couple months dedicated to getting the Initiate armor.

My motivation now to stay and continue to "earn" badges?....is that after some additional 100k+ ped turnover I can have the opportunity to finally buy a UL set after stage 3? 200 badges S1 + 500 badges S2 + 750? badges S3. Ark's armor is much cheaper and you dont even have to earn it...just buy it.

...

So suddenly make the faction missions easier for all people then say we MUST make the reward L armor because it is easier for all people to get and now only worthy of L armor. ...that's more of an insult than a justification.

The solution seems simple to me, stand by the people that support you. MA and Cyrene need to come to an understanding that all players who hold "old/pre VU" badges will be allowed to continue with their original contract/quest for their Armor.

Hey guys,

We are working on a way let players who have already started this Rank 1 Faction be able to still get this armor for a limited amount of time. When we have a concrete update as to how this will happen I will post it up in all the relevant threads.

Regards,
Kris

Hey guys,



The vendor has already been changed for the VU, so the plan is to have an alternate way to get the armor after the Mini Patch.

The armor will be obtainable for a limited time next week, statwise will be identical, namewise not sure (the stolen armor mentions using the tech/design in future ARC armor, so we might have Stolen Imperium, you might have A.R.C Initiate, but will be identical stats. Again its only a maybe)

yes, I read all that before....all the maybes and mights dont really mean much to be honest.

Is also of very little regard to those who can not devote enough of their life to playing PE to earn enough badges in "a short amount of time". I am at 101 now, I started in January....chances of getting the other 99 in the stated/previous planned one week time before the cut off mini patch is slim to none. At 4 badges a day, I am looking at another month easily.

The solution/compromise is very simple....all those who hold old/pre-vu badges continue onward to earn their UL armor as was previously promised...the armors name is of no importance.

That is one of the main reasons I liked the Cyrene armor concept over Ark's. On Cyrene you actually have to "earn" the armor...which obviously takes time and dedication, as opposed to Ark's account bound UL (which is still available) armor that you can just simply fly there, buy the required trade-in materials, get the armor and fly away the same day.

yeah i agree with the fact you have to earn it, if you started i january and have 101 there must be a few 1x missions left? if you stuggle with them ask for help, a lot of players are assisting, and the new mangs, rhinos and wind elements count towards the badge missions

plus the mini VU isn't a cut off as far as i know, its the time the armor becomes available again, could be available for another month (could)

Hey krasko,



It's something we've been working with MA about, since it is UL it will be more rare, but atm it's too rare.

Cheers,
Kris


I find myself again repeating kris, pls if is possible to take consideration of the issue I find myself into, regarding the Gun from vendor, the "too rare one", I m a BLP'er from very beginning , is to late for me to change for Laser, and would be excellent to have both guns there, and each one can chose witch one fits better for his needs, can u say something regarding this pls?

cheers

I can definitely talk to MA and see about adding a BLP equivalent weapon to these vendors as well. Also still working on getting the rate of these guns in the vendor to be higher with MA.

Cheers,

After the Mini Patch you should be able to get the same armor that everyone else was able to get at vendor for a limited amount of time. More info on the details when the Mini Patch rolls out.

Hey Xen,



I'll quote myself here:

Cheers,

One question, I will be working and probably wont be able to log on till Friday, will I be able to get the armor?
I had gathered 200 badges 2 days after VU, I really hope I will still be able to buy the armor when I come home on Friday.

Yes, the window for the armor is larger than 1 week I can say that for sure.

I really like these new 2 armor, but the name does not convince me.

maybe if they change to A.R.C. Monopolized Rank 1 and A.R.C. Monopolized Rank 2?

I agree it sucks to have the L parts att bought by 1 or 2 ppl and then leaving a empty vendor for months, but on the other hand you could make sure to be first, or should have.

But imo, there should be a limit on how often and how much you could buy from vendor.

im not sure, but does caly have such limits in their combat/daily vendor?
No it's just sold out 24/7 making it impossible for anyone to purchase from it, creating the same issue as here. Except when they restock there are hundreds instead of 10ish.

The big diff is you pay with the tokens, meaning you wont be able to buy much.

The tokens are basically as unlimited in supply as shrap, just has a MU.

Im talking about the badges, and the huge advantage ppl who reach new ranks get in terms of draining out the vendor of gear.
