Cyrene June 2nd 2020 VU Notes

Developer's Note
We just wanted to let everyone know, this VU will be more sparse than usual. There's a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes here that takes more time than the usual VU to VU stuff that we've been doing.

We will be showing off some of the upcoming things that are in development during the summer when it's at a point we're comfortable to show.

New Additions
- New Missions
-- Byrd Terminal - Now Accepting All Donations | a simple mission to spawn a group of byg byrds for a new recipe turn in.
--- This is accompanied by a new recipe in the terminal (mentioned above), Zorn Compound A, which is required to spawn the Byg Byrd group for some sweat and few Zorn Star Ingots.
-- Rodney's Universal Ammo | Many players were asking us for a mission to get some universal ammo, so here's the 1st iteration, all feedback is welcome.

- New Area
-- A.R.C. Base | Zorra's been busy fortifying the A.R.C. area, with this base as the 1st installment, she's been trying to get the scientists from Sky Labs to grant instantaneous teleportation to high ranking A.R.C. members...

- Mentors and Disciples
-- Disciple Armor + P.I.G.V. | Any and all disciples that graduate on Cyrene should now be able to acquire this armor.

Changes
- Replaced some tree and other vegetation models that need improvements/optimization.
- Implemented several player found bug fixes.
- Adjusted loot drops across several creatures targeting the following:
-- Creature Hides
-- Low and Medium Grade Components
- Adjusted mining finds for all PvP minerals.
- Quality of life changes for "Find the Rifts" mission.

Information
- Planet Cyrene still does not yet have access to the Codex, to add in Cyrene mobs, more updates to come as we have them. That being said we plan to give Cyrene players ample time to know when the Codex will be implemented as well as the information that not all missions will be automatically added into the codex. There are several new mobs ready that will be added specifically for the Codex.

Known Issues
- The Hub Arenas and Proving Grounds are currently not accepting entry tokens nor are they awarding tokens for kills. This fix may potentially be coming next week with a Mini Patch, still testing and checking.
- The culmination for the chain mission for the Ryvox the Cypher is currently not implemented.
- Support weapons are not currently working properly, this is a platform issue.
- All Cyrene vehicles (P.I.G.V., Spear, Lancer, Dragonfly) have default sounds, this will be addressed in a future patch.
- Some Quality Ratings information in blueprint book: A.R.C. is incorrect, and this issue is still being looked into.
- A supplementary mission for Rank 5 of Brown Beetles to give proper mission rewards is not working correctly and will be fixed in a future VU.

Please give RNGesus some time to ensure all items reach their intended recipients and MindArk time to make sure that all missions are activated.

 

I will post a pick of the Disciple Armor & Vehicle here:
