New Content in October?

Suggestions
- make an NPC who has one function just like the one in the death caves. To send people back to a location. Have him set to send people back to crystal center. Make him a pilot or something. Put a copy of this NPC at every "trap" location.
- Make a line of noobie gear that uses less ammo less bombs etc thats good for hunting new player level creatures which loot lower TT versions like LIGHT hides that can be refined in larger stacks into normal leathers. or diluted paint that can be refined into normal paint.
- add lots of quests for new players that are very story based and give simple 0 tt items as gifts. Just even decorative hand helds is enough to make things interesting. Like a walking cane or a wind fan or something.
- make used for the local unique items that are looted. Crystals and monkey hands have NO use or value till they are used for something.

I really love NI and I want to enjoy the place but it needs some really key basic things to make it playable and stayable

 

The colorizer sounds fun, I have a veritable Sherwin Williams paint store in my storage.

If there are bugged or trap TPs out there it would be ducky to have a warning list posted in the guides section or something. I will eventually be broadening out to seek more than just the Crystal colony area, and knowing some of those things ahead of time would be awesome. Maybe just a list of all NI TPs with "notes people should know" about the problematic ones. Even if it's just "this one has no death tiki" or "this is by pvp ruins, be aware of what direction you run off from here."

Have they ever considered the game mechanic we had way back in Everquest that some loots were "no drop?" You could have fun vanity items that would not imbalance the PED flow, if they were things that you could not TT or auction or trade, but only use, wear or destroy. There could be an uncommon tropical sarong or something, that would be awesome to wear if you had it drop, but wouldn't be a 50 PED payday because you couldn't sell it.

Seen posts by and about Next Island Noobs and well, ok if people don't want to focus on NI anymore, but don't go around encouraging the few people here to leave ;) Your rescue flights to save noobs from their NI fate won't help us who stay. (not begrudging anyone a free ride or lessening the generosity that represents.)

I also...well, characterizing this game as a gambling operation is a stretch. If you go that far, than car dealerships are casinos and buying a car is like playing in the Entropia Universe. You put in your money, you get the experience of owning a car, the moment you drive it off the lot your value cuts in half and your car loses value as you "play" at car driving (decay) and if you decide to cash out (sell the car) your car will virtually never be worth more or even nearly as much as you put into buying it.

Unless of course your car gets a Global or winds up in the HoF (is involved with some incident or celebrity that makes it infamous or famous, and becomes desirable as a unique property at auction for big bucks.)

I may have stretched the car thing a bit much, but so did the person calling EU a gambling den

 

the one casino-like aspect of the game is the spam of globals and hofs. That spam of the "latest jackpot" carries implicit "you could be next!" but most folks posting on the boards anyway seem savvy enough that they aren't dumping the kid's college fund into PED racing around with a Finder "Daddy needs a mother lode!"

I've been to Vegas and I've seen that desperation on faces. It ain't pretty and I'm pretty sure this isn't that.

 

I, usually, bring more people to the island than I bring elsewhere. still, overall, it's not many people.

 

Benn putting off logging into the game again for fear of giving in and heading to arkadia or calypso. With an at least general idea of when new content is coming I feel it is worth logging in again.

 

Dude! dont let NI dictate how you play the game, or if you have fun.... they dropped the ball.... Calypso is a great planet, Rt is well.... interesting, and Arkadia had launched a really big event.... arkadiaforums.com there are soo many other places that Work in this galaxy, dont give up, try a change of scenery.

 

Oman, dont let a planet dictate your gametime in eu, you can always come back to this planet at a later date :)

 

Will you be fixing the Enchanted River water surface. It a a dicey place as it is without having to deal with model defect. Thanks.

 

Yeah, I know I could leave the planet but my budget currently does not support depositing again so I do not want to spend the 50 ped total of there and back again.

 

the amount you waste staying may add up to be more, its the efficiency, and your sanity lvl, that dictates what a good planet is.... Arkadia has an event right now....Calypso has the end of a migration hunt... Rocktropia has sweating hooker robots, and strange Jerry Garcia dragons.... NI has, time travel crystal blueprints that drop from crafting <and give good res>, one of the better ground loot spawns, an easy place to sweat, Pirate skeletons...... but the rest is kinda punishing....
there are points in a avatars time, where another planet has more to offer for a lvl block... shop around, explore, have fun, dont get stuck in a rut..... 8)

 

Are we getting new colors with the new colorator in picture 6? I sure hope you also have some cool new textures coming soon.

 

Shark Skin, I need a shark skin coat and rancher hat :)
