Hello everyone,

We wanted to announce the dates for our first Halloween Event: the Nightmare Nexus!

From October 25th to November 9th come and experience the Nightmare Nexus, fight themed mobs in a spooky maze and earn cosmetic rewards!

Here's the preview video showing the dungeon and rewards:

Cheers,
Kris

Well, Nightmare Nexus is really a nightmare :) Some of the controls do not work, e.g. I cannot convert shrapnel, because context menu does not show up :) And other funny things - cannot switch to thrid person view, cannot toggle the cursor and maybe other annoyances.
And then, I left the instance to take a pill, because it was not possible to do inside, and could not reenter - had to relog to the Entropia.
Oh, I even cannot claim codex rewards while inside the instance.

Thanks for this feedback!

Since it was meant to be a spooky type of instance, we chose to force the 1st person perspective.

However, there are some limitations when forcing 1st person perspective in the Nightmare Nexus that we had hoped wouldn't be a hindrance, and unfortunately some additional UI limitations that were unknown to us.

It's something that we'll consider for next year and using this forced 1st person going forward for any future events that involve combat.

Shawna is following the engagement of this event, which will help dictate any changes that get made.

Cheers,
Kris

Yeah, it is ok to be a bit spooky. Regarding 1st person view, the most "interesting" was watching nimets' crotches all the time :) And Vlanwings were mostly outside of the view :)
I do not mind forced 1st person, but the UI impact is strange - I mean, it is possible to switch to 1st person view using "Camera Mode" action with no side effects. Well, depends on how it is all implemented. It would be nice to get it sorted out.

I should point out many including myself do some events e.g. this one to support the PP. So when making future decisions on how much resources to allocate to an event you may get misleading figures :)

Generally cosmetics like clothing have a low demand. The market already is saturated with more clothing than people!

What would be more in demand would be consumable pills that have some useful purpose e.g. pill that gives 100 hp (another PP has one like this).

In your position it can be difficult to to manage rewards because the useful rewards have to be "controlled" or kept scarce. MA for one I'm sure give perhaps guidelines to PP on what can and can't be done etc.

I like the longsleeve So I made that horrible instance. But as mentioned above to much errors was made and lets just say it was work for 2-4h for advanced operator and max 20 for total noob creator.

I think, and You already know that opinion of my. Its nothing wrong in making contest for future content in game we like. I think some of us would help team same as for shirt in game as in real life if U get me ^^

It's close to supply depot tp. Just walk into the cobweb on the floor to enter the instance.

As shirts go that is indeed a nice shirt. I like the Cyrene logo on reverse the best. Perhaps next year they may have matching pants for it? maybe logo on side of one leg and some halloweenie pattern on the other?

Thank you for the link! I got my shirt It seems to be a slightly remodeled version of the [Urban Nomad Black Jumper (M)] but next time I want to do something like that someone needs to knock some sense into me. That dark maze was way under populated by mobs and annoying AF :)

Well, regarding the engagement, I think there are two issues :)
One mentioned by George: just cosmetics. And I would like to have both textures :)
The second: I think that for low level/low budget players, Vlanwings are a bit tough.

It would be cool if it was possible to loot mayhem tokens there, but I guess that is not something MA would allow :-D
