Next Release FPC’s next release is going to be in the end of June. First of all, you know we’ve wanted to change the whole newcomer situation for the better. So we’re going to take our first steps in doing exactly that. We are launching a whole new colonist arrival area with missions designed to let the newcomer learn about life on Calypso and what it involves. Redesigning Mobs: Because the newcomer area is going to be the first taste of Calypso, a couple of the creatures have gotten a nice overhaul, 4 of them in total. The Caudatergus, Tripudion and Berycled. We’ve also done one more which we prefer to keep secret for now (Hint: It is not a newcomer mob.) It is not just the shape and skin of the mobs that have gotten a sturdy redesign, but also the sounds and animations have been changed. Of course, the creatures still look and feel like their old selves, just updated and cooler versions. Like this guy: Oil Rig: The problems where users are using a graphic glitch to get underground is going to be fixed for next FPC release. FPC does not condone using these glitches as a means to “cleanse the oil rig of people”, this is called exploiting and is against the EULA. If you come across any other ways to get underground then please send a support-case about the means and whereabouts so we can fix it. Thanks! More...
The new arrival area looks like a huge improvement and learning missions are a very positive step forward. Now we just need mentorship back in the game to encourage more experienced players to take new players under their wing and introduce them to the social side of EU. It's when people feel part of the community that they stay long term in the game.
are tripudion noob mobs? I mean yes they aren't very hard to kill but I do think they are harder than daikiba or combibo...anyway they look nice and the noob area ain't bad either
I like all the new content Mindark is working on with Planet Calypso and that they are making good progress with the missions. That element alone will add lots of immersion and content. :) Flap
