Planet Cyrene September 19th, 2023 VU Notes

[Kris | Cyrene]

New Additions:
- TWEN token trader can be found din the Supply Depot next to the TP
- The New Player Experience has been revamped
– Streamlined missions
– Optional Informational missions
– More defined Creature Biomes
– Additional missions for starter / lower level players

- The Duster Hazing Station has been revamped:
– PvP Events are able to happen at this location
– A traditional PvP area in the Duster Event Station
– A Hub style PvP area in the Turrelion Event Station
– Token Splinters still spawn within the Duster Event Station
– Both Duster and Turrelion Event Stations have been recreated with a PvP focused design

- Carnap’s Landing Land Area has been removed
– The new Land Area introduced is Ngu Volcano Land Area
– This Land Area is larger and will allow more freeform adjustments from the development team
– This Land Area will incur a small tax
– Developer’s Note:
* Separating the two areas gives us more options as to what we can do with the locations and mobs separately based on the information we gather. (Terrain changes, mob adjustments, mob maturities both old and new, instance locations etc) We also need to utilize the server space in an optimized way, moving the LA to the new location fit the overall formation and theme of the planet going forward.*

Changes:
- The Rift waves have been adjusted to be a solid maturity as players progress through the various waves
- Dr. Byler’s Skill Up mission can now also accept Rhyncho Birds, Purslane Weeds, and Engorged Crystal Pedes
- The spawns of Molten Red Golems on Kingka Island have been adjusted
- Swamp Creepers should no longer over crowd the swamp area if other maturities of swamp lurkers are killed
- The model and material for Glinting Unity, TWEN Edition has been adjusted to reduce clipping into the avatar
- The Mini Map has been updated to reflect the current in game changes
- Gear Up: New Fap - Stage 9 has been re-designed to accommodate the utility upgrade being added to the Refurbished H.E.A.R.T. Rank VI, VII or VIII
- The bulk of the Zyn’viathan missions should now have numerical counters on them when they are picked up again (this is not retroactive)

Bug Fixes:
- Byg Byrds can no longer escape their cage
- Alpha Fleshripper levels have been properly brought back to level 73
- All Imperium Armor pieces have had their weight reduced
- The Atlas Ranger should now respawn correctly
- Various typographical and grammatical changes have been done for all text
- A.R.C. Faction Mission - Stage 2 - A.R.C. Summoner has more clear mission text so players know the summoner needs to kill the creature to complete the mission
- All A.R.C. Offensive MECHA BOSS missions should now complete correctly when in a group
- Help the Cap’n mission should now have the correct waypoints

Known Issues
- Support weapons are not currently working properly, this is a platform issue
- All Cyrene vehicles (P.I.G.V., Spear, Lancer, Dragonfly) have default sounds, this will be addressed in a future patch
- A supplementary mission for Rank 5 of Brown Beetles to give proper mission rewards is not working correctly and will be fixed in a future VU
- Some Quality Ratings information in the blueprint book: A.R.C. is incorrect

Please give RNGesus some time to ensure all items reach their intended recipients and MindArk time to make sure that all missions are activated.

Good and clear notes, thank you.
I still think additional details should be available about new mission locations from the pp directly, though, and not via third-party pages. It could be enough to mention only what exists but not exactly where if the devs want some adventure spirit amongst the players, but even if other players do a good job in detailing stuff, I think the bare bones should be listed by vu for what content is now out there.

Hello jetsina,

Thanks for the kind words, for clarity: all the missions listed here are in revamped starter area zone and shouldn't difficult to find.

Making sure that the new missions are in places that known and not secret it something that we'll keep in mind for the future.

Cheers,
Kris
