First landing Cyrene

Not sure this will be helpfull useless or just ignored but figured I post anyways .

Landed on Cyrene today with kinda high hopes for a nice planet 2 things lured me here .
1. PvP sounded really promising so feelt I had to take a look at the HUB .
2. Lykke involved hey havent played for a long time but still rem that name as one that has a clue and considering that It could only be benefital .

So landed on the planet and visited the HuB realised a few things damn when leaving I could not TP anymore crap no chip left in head owell relogg. crap still have to get the peds to push in another one owell anoying but can work.
The hub seemd empty so left this time without trying it out will try again tomorow. What I did feel was missing thou was a way to c how many ppl were in each hub when standing in the "looby" I saw 25 pec 2 ped etc but it would help loads to c if anyone were in thoose hubs to help choosing one. Same with 1v1 why enter if no one is in there?
PvP so far looks promsing so can only hope U guys set this one up great. Only fear is that it will loose that fair play thingie al stats resett in time as ppl get to wear a new type of uber inside the hub.

Cyrene in general layout. Kinda liking it to some degree but one thing really really really bothers me. MOUNTAINS. come on I cant hunt ANYTHING basicly without having to use a chopper or some like that everywere I aim to go its mountains. Someone gotta slap that designer and throw some bombs around to level it out. Like this hunting / mining will be really really really painfull.

Quests: hmm Cyrene imo will loose as it seems they are the only planet atm with nothing for free. Imo The Thing is prolly the best Q line around some in that line should prolly benefit alot. Atm the quests are somewhat weird and short assuming hard launch will fix that.
Bringing me to HL that needs to be promoted Cyrene IS NOT DONE mining is bad hunting is BAD getting new players in here will be bad for EU imo as its really not ready to be there. Let old ppl come but lock newcommers from arriving here might be wise untill it launches for real.

Buggs: Found a few mostly mob related.Fighting Dusters DC me and same for several friends no point really at al for hunting thoose. also Dusters AI is messed up. Wont stop walking towards U EVER meaning they are constantly trying to walk OVER you .
Mobs disapearing after killing them
Mob spawn terrible in some cases. Fish Q in the beginning takes to long as U have to look arond everywere to find fish and they bugg alot making it imposs to spot em.

Al in al first impresion of Cyrene.
Alot of promise here but feels like PvP will be the only thing getting me to stick around to much mountains to hunt and mine which only leaves pvp atm. On the other hand if PvP here is good nough team pvp is introduced this might become my fav place . Stealing deathifiers capture the mansion idea might be cool to .
Btw drop the AH fee untill AH works as it should to kickstart eco might be a nice idea.

GL to you guys with the hardlaunch looking forward to it

 

Hey Ridan =) Welcome to Cyrene and to the planet. Very glad to see you visiting

Any constructive feed back is appreciated and valued. It helps us solving issues faster and the C-team is very receptive to the players ideas, suggestions for a better planet and bug reports. Afterall, we wish to make sure Cyrene will be/is a great place to be at - and is doing what we can to adjust the things which are in our power to adjust.

Some of the issues you point out have already been stated - and I know that Kris is working on solving the ones he can. And now were the Summer vacation is almost over, updates should go smoothly again

I wish to comment on the Hub issue with the missing implant. Unfortunately that happens every time one enters the Hub area and is stripped down to nothing. But I have to admit I thought the implant would be back in after a re-log. I am not sure how this will or can be solved in the future - but it is indeed a serious matter if you have to pay to insert the implanter every time you go from the Hub area and outside (and need to use chips).

Things on Cyrene is constantly evolving though - and we too look forward to be offering you even more (& finished stuff) in future =)

Thank you, Ridan & have fun
Lykke

 

Thankfully, the implant only costs .01 ped cost to put back into the head!!

 

Yeah, and even that is needed only of you got disconnected / logged out while in the Hub, otherwise just a relog after leaving the Hub is enough

 

About the mountains, personally I love it. First it adds much needed character that's missing in a lot of other places, namely Calypso. And well, if you don't want to mine the mountains, I will, and have. Just means more areas for people willing to traverse the landscape rather than just go on auto pilot and drop bombs in a grid. I do pretty good mining in the mountains. Because hardly anyone else does.

 

I agree with Rathius the mountains are a BIG part of what distinguishes Cyrene from the other planets and I for one hope they stay as they are after all not every planet in a universe can be flat

 

Nor should they be, but I can understand and appreciate those who think there should be less mountainous areas ... however, just think if there wasn't though ... how would we do Spear skilling?

 

Damn... I didn't know that..
