PLANET CALYPSO VERSION UPDATE 10.2

***PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT IF YOU FIND SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY IN PLANET CALYPSO! IT MIGHT PROVIDE THE INFO YOU NEED BEFORE CONTACTING THE SUPPORT DEPARTMENT!***
RESETTLEMENT UPDATE
A new scientific breakthrough has been made: a safe, practical tool for extracting the life essence known as Vibrant Sweat. By emitting a low-energy field for harvesting the essence, the tool focuses vibrant sweat and encodes it into a suspension fluid. Vibrant Sweat can then be refined together with Force Nexus to produce Mind Essence.
To operate the VSE Mk 1, move within 30 meters from the target, aim carefully and pull the trigger. Keep the tool aimed at the target until the sample is collected.
Note that the VSE works only on animals and not on mutants, robots or other colonists.
NEW AND RETURNED FUNCTIONALITY

• Teaming is back! Again you can go hunting with your friends and share both the fun and the loot with them.
• Sweating is back! And this time, its point and click no more concentration, just pick up your new handy tool VSE Mk 1, aim it and start sweating! This tool is a gift to all players, old and new, for gathering sweat. The VSE Mk 1 is free for everyone and does not decay.
• Mouse-only navigation is back! Want to go there? Just double-click there. You can also press and hold both left and right mouse-button to move forward. And no, we have not turned off the old FPS style aim and shoot is still there. If you lost it, its under Options-Controls-Enable Aim Mode.
• Auto navigation is back! This includes following another avatar, run to creature and shoot when within range, and run to creature and loot when in range.
• Mouse buttons can be mapped! Actions can now be assigned to mouse buttons 3-8, using the Keyboard Map GUI. The mouse button map is to the right just below the Keyboard Map GUI. You cant map mouse buttons 1 and 2 (left and right mouse buttons); they are locked.
• Live audio streaming is back on Club Neverdie! Bop till you drop!

(Thanks Stave ;) )


WEEEE TEAMING IS BACK and sweating tool does NOT decay

I must say this vu looks promising :)

 

Yes and its a MK 1, suggesting that there will be improved tools on the market in the future too, interesting

Someone couldnt get a picture of it in action could they, for those at work ;)

 

Mouse buttons can be mapped, sweet!
Also a much longed-for return of mouse-only and auto navigation, I did start to fear that wasn't coming back at all.

And of course, teaming! :automatic::handgun::Sniper::rambo::pop::lara:

 

Well, I've just tried the new sweating tool... wait for the whine-fest ;)

For starters, it mostly does nothing, except cycle and go "click".... then, after a random number of nothings, it starts glowing green to suck sweat, at which point the mobs start sliding around to make you lose target... if you drift off, sweat fail. If you are hit... concentration disrupted, sweat fail.

Wanted to try focus, only to discover that my one chip is broken, and the other seems to have vanished.... more updates later :)

 

Hmm, haven't solved my focus mystery, but after a few more mobs sweated I'm starting to like the new way. It's a bit more interesting than the old grind, and failed attempts don't take as much time... when it glows, you're sweating ;)

 

Woo Hoo! Teaming and Sweating. Now if I just had an internet connection...

 

Looks like the game I missed might just be back :).

 

Been having a little play this morning and yes I can play this game again now :), it seems slower now though guess I will have to experiment with the settings again. Tried sweating, it's a joke :).

 

You are right Cee. Everything is much slower but at least it is working better lol. Maybe they will up the notch a bit someday.

 

The hamsters that power the MA server can only be asked to run so fast for so long.
I reckon a few hamsters have rebelled, as these pictures indicate. :hehe:
