The Core - Easter Mayhem 2016

The Core - Easter Mayhem 2016

Adventurers. Businessmen. Colonists.

Deep within the core of the robot base at Hadesheim lies vital intelligence that could alter the course of the war.
This intelligence is contained within Data Storage Units, or DSUs.
In turn, these DSUs are located within the Core Robots.

It is imperative that these robots be destroyed and the precious DSUs seized from the wreckage!
The CDF will offer rewards to brave colonists who successfully recover the DSUs.
The DSU recovery effort is to begin on Thursday March 24, 14:00 UTC.
I wish you all the very best of luck.
Happy Hunting!
/Brig. General de Sousa

There are five instance levels to accommodate avatars of various profession levels. All of the instances are accessed by interacting with The Core teleporter inside the EST dropship in Minopolis, and then selecting the instance level you wish to enter.

There are also reports of several powerful Warlock-class robot bosses inside The Core. Colonists are urged to be prepared for aggressive offensive tactics from these augmented Warlocks. Bunnies (Kanin) will not spawn inside The Core as illustrated.

Scoring

The following point system has been created to track the retrieval of Robot Data Storage Units (DSU):

Robot DSU Class 1 (1 point)
Robot DSU Class 2 (5 points)
Robot DSU Class 3 (10 points)
Robot DSU Class 4 (20 points)
Robot DSU Class 5 (50 points)
Robot DSU Class 6 (100 points)
Robot DSU Class 7 (500 points)
Robot DSU Class 8 (1000 points)
Robot DSU Class 9 (5000 points)

Your event score will be updated automatically each time one of the Data Storage Units is recovered.

Final event scores will be calculated based on hourly point averages to derive each participant's 20-hour normalized event score.

This scoring method removes the need for participants to track time spent in the instances (beyond meeting the 20-hour prize eligibility requirement), removes the risk of participants being inadvertently disqualified from the event for time reasons, and allows all participants to hunt as much as desired in the event instances without giving an unfair advantage to those who are able to hunt for many hours.

Rewards

The colonists accumulating the highest 20-hour normalized point averages during the event period will be awarded the following rewards by Earth Shock Trooper command:

1st Place - CDF XTLC 1000 + 5000 PED Universal Ammo
2nd Place - CDF XTLC 800 + 3000 PED Universal Ammo
3rd Place - CDF XTLC 600 + 2000 PED Universal Ammo
4th Place - CDF XTLC 400 + 1000 PED Universal Ammo
5th Place - CDF XTLC 200 + 500 PED Universal Ammo
6th Place - 4000 PED Universal Ammo
7th Place - 3000 PED Universal Ammo
8th Place - 2000 PED Universal Ammo
9th Place - 1000 PED Universal Ammo
10th Place - 500 PED Universal Ammo

***IMPORTANT*** 

Participants must complete at least 20 hours in the event instances to qualify for the above prizes.

Bonus Rewards

In addition, all colonists reaching the following event point totals will receive bonus rewards from EST Command:

10000 Points - 500 PED Universal Ammo
7500 Points - 375 PED Universal Ammo
5000 Points - 250 PED Universal Ammo
2500 Points - 125 PED Universal Ammo
1000 Points - 50 PED Universal Ammo

Bonus rewards do not have a minimum time requirement.

Rules & Notes

This event is intended for solo hunters. Any attempt at abusing team mechanics or any other Entropia Universe systems or features in order to gain an unfair advantage over other participants will be grounds for disqualification from the event, forfeiture of any prizes, and possible sanctions imposed on one’s Entropia Universe account.

***IMPORTANT*** 

Do not abandon the mission! If you abandon the mission for any reason, either intentionally or accidentally, all points earned up to that moment will be lost forever. Support cannot and will not restore points for abandoned missions, regardless of the situation.

Happy Hunting!

Easter Bunnie infestation!

The Corinthian Kanin mating season seem to coincide with the Easter this year too. The rabbits are breeding...well, like rabbits!

The happy hoppers have been seen bouncing around Minopolis, Twin Peaks, Camp Icarus and on the islands of the Atlantis Archipelago in increased numbers.

They’re all tameable, so if you want your very own Easter Bunny just grab your whip and get cracking on Thursday March 24, 14:00 UTC.
