Preview on maps of whats coming tomorrow (hopefully) to our game.

 

You really put a lot of work into providing the info that you have . TY

Please provide artist and name of sound track. I like it.

 

Some "Aberration" aliens have appeared, could be the "Plutus' Exiled aliens" that "NPC Beacon event" mentions.

Devolarium Aberration​	Mordon Aberration​	Boss Mordon Aberration​
​	​	​
Saimon Aberration​	Boss Saimon Aberration​
​	​

Also noticed some other variations of aliens don't remember seeing before, though in a file that doesn't have stuffs actual "names" - could be more "Aberration" or just something else. (if any actually are already in-game, guess just ignore it lol)

Spoiler

Someone asking game designer OP32 what's the next event(DO Discord, #general_en):



Then finally, guess I'll at least put the "FLV/gif" things of Hecate and its Dusklight design here.

Spoiler

Hecate ship

The Hecate's sleek design makes it easy to speed through space and hunt down all who stand in its way. This ship comes with the Particle Beam, which deals increasing damage over time.

Dusklight Hecate ship design

Send your foes running in the opposite direction with the formidable Dusklight Hecate design!

*Unless stated otherwise what I post is indirectly from a test server.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I at least try to, lol.

 

When should all this come to live?

 

Some quotes from OP32 regarding the upcoming event.

"the new event ship is pretty good, it will put up a fight with the cyborg, you can test it in a beta later"
"we'll run the new event on it as well, but no doubt majority of people will just be killing each other lol"
There will be test server open for everyone in the upcoming days/weeks.

"it is planned for this month tho, with an open beta before so you can get an idea of what its like"
It will be this month, most likely in the last week of it because first it has to go through test server.

"the event is also planned to return fairly often too, like every 1 or 2 months it will be run for a few days etc, on release it will be longer"

About the crafting of the ship: "event ore + some random stuff"
He also said this later on:
"ship is a potential reward from the boxes npc drop, boxes contain some new ore for crafting + event points"

About the event itself:
"theres different tiers of "risk", clans will be a 'problem' on high risk"
"low and medium have their own maps for people to be friends"
"low even has a new NAZ type where theres no pvp, so everyone can hold hands"
"also you wont get any rewards from the low risk if you are over a certain level"

 

Awesome - Just another event for the MCC to dominate to the exclusion of others.

Really doesn't pay to get above a certain level in this game if you're not in the MCC with the most allies.
Things like this really show Devs don't care about the health of the whole game, only the worst aspect of it gets catered for.

 

Will I really look forward to Sounds the buckles

 

"low and medium have their own maps for people to be friends"

there will be maps where you cannot attack other players, so no.

 

As said before, the highest tier/map/zone will allow pvp, the rest is mainly pve.

 

I love PvE

 

Sorry mate but "medium" the only place you can get rewards if over lvl 16 is a PVP map.

 

As of now sure, but as mods in the discord have said they'll make an announcement in the upcoming days about the feedback they got in the test server and they've already said they are considering making medium a pve only map(as it was originally planned)

 

I'm sure the three people who gave feedback on the forum will be pleased.

I didn't see anything in Discord about it, must have been asleep. So I'll take your word for it, wait and see.

 

yet more events for ufe bot's and cheats, when are you going to do something for the players who don't cheat,
you really need to get rid of the dev team and employ somebody who has some new original ideas.
try doing some of these new events in a non ufe ship, and you'll soon find out the missions are virtually impossible.

 

Sorry to say mate but that is by design.
If you aren't in or associated with the dominant group on your server, you're not catered for when it comes to game content.

 

There's a lot of "code text" so I'll try put a thorough "gist of it", but if lots of code text doesn't bother you - just click on the spoilers. ("code text" gives better idea what might be like)


Galaxy gate/event name: Gauntlet of Plutus

Game client/window text:

Gist of it:

• Seems is a repeatable gate, not clear how long have to wait to do again
• It has a player ranking
• Rankings score is based on how long take to complete gate(over 60 minutes don't receive a score)
  • Score may also get higher with each gate you do, see the below achievements bit
• Sounds like it might have a "accumulate points for rewards" window thing, gain points by killing aliens inside the Gauntlet of Plutus gate

(those 3 packages are listed under "NPC Beacon event" but third one has "gop"/Gauntlet of Plutus, as for first two guess will have to wait and see)

Achievements listed for the event:

Initially list was too long, so at least the "more interesting" stuff:

• At least one achievement implies it might be an recurring event
• Achievement and a title for being the top ranked player at end of the event:
  • Champion of the Gauntlet
• A title for defeating Plutus 30 times(maybe, not that clear): Destruction of Wealth
• Achievements for accumulating certain amounts of score, in a single Gauntlet of Plutus event
  • This kinda implies ranking score will be based on not just time take to complete, but also how many times complete the gate. (but not totally clear if it is like this)
• Not an achievement but put it here anyway: seems will be able to see "user ranking" for the event, on the Ranking>Event Rankings page (at least is listed next to others that see there)
