Planet Arkadia Update – 16.4.0.

By | Version Update | No Comments

Resolute Stable

Hi Everyone,
Here is what comes with this update.

Fixes
1. Smuggler backpack mission is fixed.
2. Minor changes to stores to assist in loading errors – More coming in Patch.
3. Loot balances
New Player Experience Overhaul

We have shortened the new player experience because many players seem to get lost down the track assisting in checking up on the defense towers, those towers have now been staffed and will not be required to be checked up on anymore. Now new players can get into the action quicker and be introduced into the community much faster.

We have also moved Resolute Stable to a much more convenient location that is near the new player experience.

Oratan Attacks are back!!!

After months of going into hiding, new drone footage has shown that Oratans are preparing attacks on firebases all across Arkadia. Prepare yourself, their attacks are incoming and very soon…….

 

Arkadia Moon Deed

By | Anouncement | No Comments

moondeed

Hi Everyone,

The moon has seen a great amount of activity since the rise of the smuggler’s main headquarters located in a secure yet hidden location. With the next update looming around the corner we are giving a few updates on the progress of the moon.

Firstly, as requested by many players, there is around 18% of the deeds left for purchase from the web store. Some players have really gone above and beyond to get their hands on a small stack of them and we thank you.

If you haven’t purchased any deeds yet or wish to purchase more – Click Here

Content (Current and Future)

Now as explained beforehand, PTECH has a presence on the moon and since Planet Arkadia is a treasure-hunting planet, we have hidden quite a few easter eggs around the planet. We found that we have hidden them a bit too well for players to find so we are going to make it a bit easy next update and move them to locations that players can find with ease. We will later increase the difficulty of finding them as more updates come in the future. There will be a collection of PTECH Missions coming in the next update that will enable you to start collaborating with them on their expedition to discover the hidden mysteries of the Arkadia Moon but I must warn you, dangers linger around each and every corner so choose your side carefully.

Now the smugglers have also shown a great interest in the moon, much like the time when they were in the Underground shutting down the Sal’deresh Instances to loot their Arkoins and hidden treasures. I would recommend that you start investigating what they are in mind (Also an Easter Egg) but be warned that once you hold the key to their plans, you will know without a fraction of a doubt what is to come and might regret what you will have to do.

IFN, we haven’t forgotten about you, your time to shine will be sooner than expected.

The Arkadia Moon is key to old history, it has secrets hidden all over to explain what really happened in the past but then again, all you have to do is but look up to the heavens and ask yourself, what is that in the distance?

Planet Arkadia Update – Release 16.1.

By | Anouncement | No Comments

Hey everyone,

We have focused content surrounding the moon, and we have introduced quite a few extra hunting missions including a small expansion pack to the smuggler storyline.
The most important of them all is that We have activated a direct TP from the Moon to Arkadia for the price of 7PED.
Now let me give a breakdown of the content being released in this update.

Missions

New Level 4 & 5 Iron Missions

Creatures

  • Oompa Warhounds
  • GMC_03_Gammas
  • Oompas
  • Sicarius Brutes
  • Sicarius Commands
  • Sicarius Workers


Please also note that spawns have changed a bit. Happy hunting…

There is new story-driven content for Smugglers and for PTECH Industries. Keep in mind these are hidden, so you will have to look for them, but the reward is worth it. This is only part 1 of 4, so many more missions are coming in the next update.

Smuggler Missions

The smugglers have now opened one of their HQs to members who joined their ranks and proved themselves. You will be required to discover an agent that is watching the movements of the cities but is hidden somewhere on the moon. They will tell you what you need to do to get your access pass to enter HQ. Keeping in mind that this HQ is well hidden, only those who are worthy will be able to enter.

Once you gain access to the smugglers, you will be able to see the start of a completely new storyline that will hint at what they have been up to and require you to obtain a certain series of items to be able to get the Smuggler Hazmat suit. This suit will be required for a deep undercover mission. Discover it and find out what lays ahead. There might be a backpack hidden in there somewhere, but it depends… if you answer correctly… Ned will be watching.

Civilian Missions

The communications on the moon have had some serious issues of tampering and weathering. PTECH needs your help in repairing the connection and discovering the issues. You will be required to report to the PTECH engineer located at the communication center in assisting them in discovering what might be the problem.

PTECH will also require you to assist in helping with the repairs of the extractors but be warned, it might be a bit radio active but hey, nobody complains about extra body parts right?
Rewards

There are a good collection of rewards to be obtained when you complete the missions.

  • Hunting Mission Rewards – Skill rewards are to be discovered
  • Smuggler Rewards / Possible location
  • Something hidden, happy hunting…


Events
Oratan Attacks are back
Intel has shown that the Oratan have started to move around the bases and plan attacks that will happen randomly, so be prepared, their attacks are as savage as their nature


ALERT – Smugglers have moved from the Underground to the Moon.
