MindArk and the Planet Partners strive to ensure a smooth and problem-free Version Update. Nevertheless, even after extensive testing some issues may arise after release. Such issues are often addressed via mini-patches directly after a release and in subsequent patches. If you feel that the possibility of encountering minor issues or bugs directly after a Version Update affects your gameplay to an extent that Entropia Universe is not enjoyable, please wait until the mini-patches have been released and any last minute issues have been resolved.

Camp Icarus
The area around Camp Icarus has received a major overhaul in order to improve the experience for our new players. This update includes the following points:

• The creatures inhabiting the area have had their parameters adjusted.
  
• All creature spawners on the Port Atlantis server area have been re-designed.
  
• Dialogue and objective texts in quests have been simplified.
  
• The design of the area has been significantly improved and optimized.
  
• Quest givers in Camp Icarus will now hand out universal ammo so that the quests can be completed for free.
  

The Hive (Crystal Palace Aurli Cave)
The mechanism for spawning the Aurli bosses has been changed. In order to spawn a particular boss you now need to kill a specific amount of Aurlis from the same brood as the boss. The amount of Aurlis killed is not in any way tied to the avatar that does the killing, the boss simply spawns when the set amount is reached.
We have also added a new “bonus boss” that spawns once all the other Aurli bosses have been killed. This boss has shared loot and spawns out in the hallways, ready for you to chase it down!

The Gauntlet: Stage 2
The second stage of the gauntlet series of instances has been added and is accessible from the “Gauntlet Organizer” NPC’s as soon as you’ve completed stage 1.

Akbal Sector 2
This instance, accessible from Jennifer’s island, now requires a beacon to enter. The particular beacon needed is untradable and can only be obtained by completing the instance “The Gauntlet: Stage 2”. The instance itself has also been re-designed in terms of creature spawns, traps and loot.

Migration Update
Several Longtooth wave spawners have been added to locations near Fort Argus, Chugs Hideout, Fort Zeus, Minopolis, Camp Ichidna and Jurra Plateau.

New Hunting Challenges
The following new hunting challenge quests have been added.

• Silver Atrox Challenge
  
• Bronze Challenge: Aurli Stage II
  
• Bronze Challenge: Kreltin Stage II
  
• Iron Challenge: Eomon Stage IV
  
• Iron Challenge: Eomon Stage V
  
• Iron Challenge: Longtooth Stage V
  
• Bronze Challenge: Longtooth Stage I
  

Changes

• Players will now only loot Berycled Trophies, Caudatergus Trophies, Daikiba Trophies and Maffoid Heads if they have the mission that requires them.
  
• Newcomers leaving the gateway will now always arrive at Camp Icarus.
  
• The counter in the quest “Into The Core” now increases when the required item is looted instead of handed in.
  
• Clues about creature spawn locations have been added to the daily hunting quests.
  
• The names of all Iron Challenges have been changed in order to match new naming conventions.
  
• The “Longtooth” creature is now a creature class with maturities ranging from young to stalker. The old Longtooth creature is therefore the Longtooth Dominant.
  
• Removed a function from the quest “Bronze Challenge: Daikiba” that reduced the counter value when certain actions were performed.
  
• The graphics for the following creature classes have been updated: Caperon, Eomon, Gokibusagi and Tantillion.
  

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that made the particle effects attached to land area markers and teleporters extremely performance heavy, this should improve performance significantly when viewing these objects.
  
• Fixed missing auction and terminal signs in the Twin Peaks Mall
  
• Fixed an issue causing the target drone creature class to fall underground when killed.
  
• Fixed an issue where the GeoTrek LP53 Storm (L) Blueprint (L) required a non-existing component in order to be used for manufacturing.
  

Known Issues

• Terrain on some of the roads around Icarus are difficult to traverse.
  
• Gun Turret in Camp Icarus is hovering above the ground.
  

• Auto-loot pills are now available in trade terminals. These pills will enable you to loot creatures automatically within a certain radius for a set amount of time and the effect will persist after you log out. Auto-loot pills have a minimum skill requirement of five in paramedic and are considered luxury items.
• Wave spawn events will now reset without restart delay time if the first wave is not completed and/or the area is clear of players.

PLANET CALYPSO CONTENT RELEASE 2010.6
2010-11-09

***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

Recent attacks by Steelbirds, the new flying robot model, proved only to be the beginning. We can now reveal that the robots in utmost secrecy have refitted and retooled the wreckage of the War Titan Typhon that crashed into Hadesheim six years ago into a base for their operations.

Satellite surveillance was blanked momentarily by electro-magnetic pulses from Hadesheim, and as they came back online, infrared photography revealed new structures under the cloud cover of the crater. Some of them were active, launching objects in suborbital mid-range trajectories on Eudoria.

Colonel Briers in Port Atlantis has confirmed that CDF and CFA will cooperate to take the fight to the Steelbirds. He also hinted that CDF is developing a strategy to investigate the crater and the mysterious drops over Eudoria, but as they are unfinished, CDF does not want to reveal them at the moment.

NEW FEATURES

Hadesheim crater redesigned: We’ve redesigned the Hadesheim crater for the event. You will experience an entirely new crater, including Camp Phoenix and the outpost north of the crater. Most of the story related missions are centered around the crater.

New missions: We have 17 new missions for this release, among them a seasonal Iron Challenge, a permanent Iron Challenge, a mining challenge and some missions related to the story of the Harbinger event.

All missions will not be available at once. At first there will only be the Iron Challenges. A set of story related missions will open on November 11th, and a few more that concludes the event will open on November 23rd. Some missions (but not all) will close on November 30th as the event closes. If a mission is limited to certain dates, it will be stated clearly in the mission’s description.

Colonel Briers in the needle tower in Port Atlantis is the contact for the Steelbird Iron Challenge and the story missions. Todd Hamlish in Camp Phoenix will hand out the mining challenge, and Fritz Feldgast at Cape Corinth will hand out the Eviscerator Iron Challenge.

Shared loot: We have a new feature that allows us to share loot from event mobs. The feature, if activated, splits loot among everyone that inflicted damage on the mob similarly to the rule “Damage: Stack share”. Team loot rules are ignored for these mobs.

We have activated shared loot on Steel Bird Elite spawns for this event.

FIXED ISSUES

• Fixed a few terrain issues.
• Fixed floor numbering of the televator in Port Atlantis Mall
• Natural creature spawn issues fixed.
