Planet Cyrene March 2015 VU Preview

[Thanatos]

its sad news that the armor, that brought here so many ppl, will be gone. I guess this move would not be made if not forced by MA.

 

[Sir Lancelot]

Sadly this armor is not as good as viceroy and is alot more difficult to acquire and yet it will be pulled very bad move indeed.

i thought the ARC armor was far better than viceroy, i barely touch VR since obtaining this

 

[sostoned]

its not the armor, its the dealbreaker thats gonna be trouble.

coincidence that the ones that kick others in the back here all have that armor already, fuckin hypocrite, i suggest we make that L too. Lets see who cries then.

ps: what i will not miss from cyrene is the extreme hypocrite long stayers. not all but most have a dayjob attacking everything thats not 'native'.

 

[Sir Lancelot]

That being said still messed up that they would not remove the viceroy as well since it can be obtained just by buying ingredients from auction not work needed

 

[Thanatos]

I hope that there will be a chance to get it somehow for ppl who are here for a while, even if 3 months between VUs could give ppl like 300 badges by doing dailies only, and like 180 badges since the time the armor was discovered.

 

[Kris | Cyrene]

Hey guys,

We're working on a solution to this that will hopefully feel fair for the players who have been working to get this armor. As soon as we have an update on this I will post it up here.

Regards,
Kris

oh yeah i agree there, at least you had to work for this armor and not just buy ingredients. they should have give notice, not 5 days before VU

i hope they leave a limited number in terminal and don't restock, so the next 50 or so players can still get it

Sadly I would have completed on time had the daily's not been bugged. But I have finished the tanhok epic and half way through the zora epic so probably won't be leaving either way just bad PR for a already struggling planet that finally had a little bit of fresh air brought to it with the ARC faction mission. I'm sure cyrene developers aren't behind this but our wonderful MA so take it easy on Kris as he seems to be trying to get things done on his end.

 

[jetsina]

Maybe Kris can say how many male and female avatars already have the armour and how many are on, say, over 50 badges (sign that those people are somewhat seriously gathering badges).
Then he can maybe agree to have the terminal stocked with a certain number as Jetman says, and we all know where we stand on this...
It would be the easiest solution in terms of programming I think, and if transparent to all of us then maybe somewhat fair as well!

Read my PM I may just have that solution..

 

[ermik]

I came to Cyrene for the armor, i have spent 20 days or so without leaving, I just started to like the planet, feeling a little "hey, i could stay here and collect badges forever, it would be worth it" so far down about 1k ped since i came, and i have 137 badges so far.

If this becomes a let down i will never set foot on cyrene again, and thats something i feel sad about.

 

[Haruto Rat]

its sad news that the armor, that brought here so many ppl, will be gone. I guess this move would not be made if not forced by MA.

I'd venture a guess MA was bombarded by support cases demanding the armor be taken away. Lots of traders, crafters and other vested interests were quite angry (see PCF).

 

[Oleg]

If the armour was included in error in the first place, you could have fixed that error immediately and wouldn't have any of this fuss now.

 

[Broken al Angels]

Hi,

I have come for the armor UL. Only reason I have come on Cyrene.

I have no problem of the change of rules IF that was posted at the start!!! Tell us in advance, the daily rewards will be changed in next VU, that you have X amount of time before change and now It's will be MY decision to continue or stop.

I have realized that you have in stock 60 Armors, I was afraid that I will be the 61st players to get to the vendor BUT I WAS FINE WITH THIS BECAUSE IT WAS MY DECISION. To be screwed by a change of rules in the middle of an event, it's shitty and NOT professional.

Let's at least the 60 first armors to be redeem before to switch rewards.

Doing these daily's and single missions, I have started to appreciate Cyrene and even started some Epic mission.... Can you guarantee me that the mission will not be modified in the middle of it now??? How can we trust Cyrene on this?

Hey guys,

Kris here again with the March 2015 Planet Cyrene VU Preview!

I'd like to start by congratulating all the players that have helped contribute to our Dynamic Upgrades that add perks for playing and being in your favorite Cyrene areas. For this VU we've got 3 areas that have upgraded to level 1:

Great Plains: New Mang Chang and Rhino Beetle Maturities
Mer Beach: Additional Merfolken Gladiator Maturities
Turrelion Desert: Additional Living Vortex Maturities

Here are a few examples:
View attachment 2411

There are many areas that are not far behind either, Robo Base Z.R.Q. at 85% and Zyn Forest at 90%, well done everyone! (You can view the latest Map here: >>LINK<<)

We also have the start of the new A.R.C. Faction Rank 2 Missions, as well as changes to the Rank 1 Missions:

New A.R.C. Rank 2 Missions:

Five new Crafting Cyrene items or Mining Missions for Cyrene Specific Ores and Enmatters that are only open to players who have over 200 A.R.C. Faction Badges.

Also coming with the Mini Patch will be a new Summoning Mob location near Eve's Playground that will allow players to summon and kill special mobs to earn more A.R.C. Faction Badges (provided that you are already at or over 200 A.R.C Faction Badges).

View attachment 2409

Changes to A.R.C. Rank 1 Missions:

The A.R.C. Rank 1 Daily missions ended up leaving out newer players to hunt and get in on the faction action, so we made some changes and added 1 new mission: a 500 Sweat Turn-in mission for 1 badge.

The following two daily missions will be changed as follows:
A.R.C. Faction Mission - Stage 1 - Daily - Hunter Zyn'Dos is now Swamp Lurker Prime
A.R.C. Faction Mission - Stage 1 - Daily - Merfolken Raiders is now Scout Bot Collector XT

This should ensure that new players will be able to start earning faction badges as well.

View attachment 2406

For Players who are past A.R.C. Rank 1 and closer to Rank 2 (500 A.R.C. Faction Badges), is the A.R.C. Patrol Armor, a Tradeable and Limited Armor, available for Rank 2 A.R.C. Faction:

View attachment 2407

Also all players that reach Rank 2 will get a special Blueprint from Zorra Winters to craft an A.R.C. Lancer:

View attachment 2408

There are also approximately 80 new weapons that have been placed on all Cyrene creatures level 1 through 31, BLP Pistol / Rifle, Laser Pistol / Rifle, Short and Long Blades, here are some examples:

View attachment 2410

We've also been working to improve the Day/Night lighting as well as the water transparency for this VU. We'll be working to make these as good as possible.

View attachment 2412

There are many other changes coming this VU as well as for the Mini Patch here is a short list:

- Improved summoning for Lazidol and the Empis Wasp Queen (Mini Patch)
- SweetStuff and Force Nexus added to Mining Spawns (VU)
- A n00b Mini Chain to create a Refurbished S.I. Heart (Mini Patch)
- Hit box fixes for Dragon Monkeys and Tide Claws (VU)
- Capsule fixes for Mang Chang, Rhino Beetles, and Paneleons (VU)
- A Mini Sweat Camp with dedicated mob spawns of Jellyworms, Mang Changs, and Paneleons. (VU)
- Topography Changes to many of the high mountains at Mer Beach, Ngu Volcano, and Robot Base Z.R.Q. (Mini Patch)
- Fixes to many typographical and grammatical changes. (VU)
- Various bug fixes. (VU)

I hope that this gets players excited for the next Planet Cyrene Update.

Cheers,
Kris

Don't forget about the good stuff guys. I can safely say the good stuff out way the bad stuff. Let's just hope they will provide a fair means of getting the old armor for people who already spent a significant amount of time earning the badges.

Other than the fuckup this VU looking awesome.

 

[AxeMurderer]

I was waiting for the hard launch, but can't wait more - Cyrene here I come. But after the weekend mining event

 

[Spawn]

The new ranged weapon stats are fuxored.
They consume 10x the amount of ammo compared to their damage.

Ozpyn bpx -p1 [L]

1100 ammo -》5 damage

The only choice is to postpone the vu by a month

I want to be honest and mention that the rest of the VU look really nice indeed.
I was really expecting this map upgrade and the new mobs maturities.

Also, Kriss you're doing a fantastic job to convey messages / inform us and to take time to answer back some of our interrogation. No hard feeling on the messager.

Cheers.

Still disappointed trustworthy Broken

 

[Dibbler]

For people using the limited armour is better due to higher durability, for ones who were after a quick ped fleece (buy as much armour and sell after vu) not so good.
I see reasons for changes, all good as far as i see (and no i don't have the armour already).
