Planet Cyrene March 2015 VU Preview

This is good news, but seeing is believing. Only be back if this will be settled like it should be.
The armor isn't supposed to be for "everyone". It wasn't supposed to be for anyone actually, we're just trying to correct an error here while keepng the peace. Not open the armor to everyone who wants it now or heard about it from this vu preview notice.
I'm just trying to say that there is no reason to break the bank over this one mistake. Correct it rationally, those who put in a real attempt at it deserve it, and not have the armor available for 90 days as someone suggested or for anyone who ever had a glimmer of a thought about obtaining it. This is just my opinion on the matter.
"those who put in a real attempt at it deserve it"
My 2-3 hours a night isn't "real enough"?
Sorry you don't approve of the fact I have a real life and can't spend 16 hours a day grinding, or depo a couple thousand dollars to buy uber equipment and skip the development of my avatar.
The point isn't really the armor - it's that we were told something, made a deal, invested time (and money) and then MA, the PP, or both, went back and welched on that deal. Then they tried to claim that it was an error, that apparently went undetected for 3 months or so. Cheap tactics. Re-read the VU release - They knew this would upset the players. No attempt at preventing or resolving the dissatisfaction they knew would come out. Even then, the VU release notes try to make it sound like a good thing that instead of what you made a deal for, you're going to get a limited (i.e. disposable) armor, nerfed to about half the original protection value. No mention of whether or not it was still going to cost the same 200 PED in shrapnel, either. So if I keep going all the way to rank 3 (note that the VU only releases Rank2!) then I can apparently get something close to what I made the deal for. If this isn't repeated. Not until after the very significant outcry on the chat and forums was there mention of some mitigating idea - still to be published.

IMO Anyone who has started collecting badges wheather it is 1 or 199 should be able to finish it after VU. If you don't have Badge then your out of luck. Beacause people do have lives besides this game and can't spend every waking moment grinding out a DAILY missions

well, my post was clearly dramatic, or should be at least, to be a bit comic this way. i guess its a bad sence of humor here, but i wanted to refer to guys who just started the ARC Faction missions after the news came down, and now are very loud, so its not about u or any1 that have spent here like a month.
playing this game past years i got used to that if there is something going on, better be there, or the window will close, and ull end with nothing. it was like this many times, when MA changed the rules along the way, and ofc i didnt like it. for example i got caught in the middle of few 10k hunitng missions when the rewards got nerfed. Its the nature of the beast, the MA.
to make things clear - i dont like that this time window closes (or seems to close) so rapidly, leaving many guys just behind the door. but same time i cant stand this abuse that few guys that barly started, try to push through. I hope that Kris will figure out a good way to slove this problem, along with MA, cuz im quite sure if it all was up to him, this situation with removing already in game thing, would not happen.
I run my www to help u guys a bit on this planet, posted the chain data and the rewards as soon as i made those steps. i hope this with map, mob stats and other things, helped. but ofc i heard that my www is a joke and i got all form entropedia, but this braindead mofo does not have a clue about this. maybe he should use entropedia, its a rly nice site.
i dont give a damn about that, same as ppl dont care that i have a full time job, many side contracts to fullfil, and also take time to share with others the part of knowledge about this game i got, for free. oh, some1 told me that i demand money for the premium map! heh, this moron does not understand that this map is made for those who support my work (so for sure not for him) and that i dont sell it. maybe ppl dont know but running such www takes time, skills, knowledge and cash - donators do, and i rly appreciate that.
ad ps - after i invested into the stable, i dont use uber items (actually never had any of mod fap, mod merc or things like that) - before ARC set i was using Mahketta or L sets. the gun now is something that i lend or L item, cuz i dont hunt huge mobs much, so dont need to buy it.
with L items, i do those 3 dailies in 15 min - its just 25 mobs to kill.
ofc i keep doing those dailies, cuz later there could be some better rewards. even now, if its just L set in the vendor, for me its still better to do those short missions and some dailies than hunting for example atrox or huon.

So I hope from this post that you are saying that you have contacted MA about this issues and that the armor will not be replaced until you have found a way to fix this issue?
Because if you don't this post is just like all the other posts you have posted in the past where you state that almost every issue is being looked into and should be fixed in the next VU:
- TEN Edition
- Christmas items
- Hard Launch
- Downsized planet for Hard Launch (new planet will take years to complete now before any Hard Launch will take effect)
I hope you have done the right thing here and all will be well.
I've previously been on Cyrene in 2014 to complete a few missions: like the 10k drill bots etc. I recently returned, primarily attracted by the ARC armor; Thanatos's website was essential for finding mob locations and faction mission info. Hopefully Kris will find a solution to the armor problem. Out of all the new planets, Cyrene is definitely my favourite. I doubt that Mindark would ever give a green light to that unlimited ecotron gun: at 2.983 eco with an a106, and its range, I think it's effect on the weapon market would be too severe.
Hey guys,
The vendor has already been changed for the VU, so the plan is to have an alternate way to get the armor after the Mini Patch.
I can update on these:
The TEN Event is not off the table, however, we're still working with MindArk on the best way to have this event.
The plan for the Christmas items to come out after the Mini Patch (provided there are no more sync issues).
The system that we are waiting for is currently not finalized and it's something that need for the Hard Launch, as soon as it's ready we'll be able to do so.
I don't fully understand this one. The planet is changing (>>LINK to the Dynamic Upgrade Map <<) and it's reflected in not only that map but the number of active players on Cyrene. I can't say off hand exactly "when" as there are a lot of factors that involve that happening.
I hope this answers some of your questions.
Cheers,
Kris

Will we need to return to the planet? The promise of the items was one of the main reasons I went to Cyrene at the time, I have had a support case pending since then, and frankly having to go back again would be a case of fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
I do plan to return to Cyrene eventually if and when it becomes a more developed and pleasant experience again, things were rather nice just before the map overhaul, but now I just cant rationalize being there.
On the subject of suggestions Id like to see a reduced price on the proving grounds coats, 550k is highly unreasonable especially given that the proving grounds is currently dominated by bots and teleporting hackers. Even if you manage to get 1k a day that's 550 days to get ONE of the coats. Even removing just one 0 would be far more fair.

The first quotes you know are just BS and not really worth debating. But this here is the biggest BS from you yet. I would believe you fully if you did downsize the planet with new areas that then would open up to the older areas. BUT you downsized all areas into one small area. So this was not DUE to the hard launch but most likely, sorry to say, lack of funding. On top of that you had one of the best looking planets in EU and now you have the cheapest looking planet that more or less looks like it was downsized in a weekends time. Again if you would just be truthful with us we wouldn't be as hard on you and give you even more support.
The best thing going for you now with your planet is that due to the low graphics you will get a lot of players there that simply love it due to the speed. Nothing wrong with this and really is needed...just please open up and stop with this BS.
I hope for you and this update..and will be visiting. I still do have hope for you.
