Hey everyone,
I’m here again to share the new additions, changes, and updates coming to Planet Cyrene this spring.
So, first and foremost, this will not be a large VU for Cyrene, we needed to take time to not only lay foundation for the rest of 2025, but also there were a few glaring issues that needed to be addressed before other content moves forward.
To start Thunderous Golems were changed in a couple, notable ways:
In terms of the Stable Turrelion Assassinator, there was an issue with counters showing from the incorrect mob type, and this has been *mostly* fixed. The counters have ALWAYS been working correctly in the code, but visually counting and capping for the wrong counter.
However, there isn’t a reliable way to clear / bring up the completed objective for players who already have some counters closed, we’re still working to resolve this and are dedicated to doing so.
This is also echoed for the Lupine part of the mission, now killing higher maturity creatures have a higher chance and lower maturities have a lesser chance of mission progress (which will start shortly after the PP VU).
The other glaring issue that we worked to tackle was the PvP4 area. There was exploiting that was going on (that MindArk is assisting us looking at) so we made several changes to resolve it:
Of course, there are numerous small bug fixes coming along with these as well.
Furthermore, we have laid the ground work for future content, so allow me to introduce A.R.C. Prestige!
An area for Cyrene players who have completed a fair amount of content will gain access to. We’re building this up slowly but to start there are special missions ONLY from this area along with special textures that are avatar bound.
The plan is to add additional unlocks over the year, and who knows it might lead to A.R.C. Tier 4 =)
Thank you for reading and thanks for playing on Planet Cyrene.
Cheers,
The Cyrene Team

To start Thunderous Golems were changed in a couple, notable ways:
- The drop of THUNDEROUS GEM SHARDS should be greatly improved after the update
- They will count towards the golem codex

- A terrain wall instead of invisible walls to keep players out and help LOS
- A more strict PvP area shape + a higher tolerance of when it starts
- Double the amount of entry spawns
- More hidden / better placed exits
