Easter Mayhem - Note that bunnies will not be available in The Core

The Core - Easter Mayhem

As you all may know, CDF Intelligence recently discovered that the robots in Hadesheim Crater have been preparing for a large excavation, most likely related to finding another RX cache on Eudoria. Colonists were employed to recover Data Storage Units to allow us to reach the cache faster than the robots.

However, the recovered DSUs have proven to contain only fragments of the data required, despite intense analysis by CDF signals experts. Meanwhile the robots have been able to recover from the damage caused during the latest excursions into the Core. They will soon attempt an excavation again.

Once again, we ask the colonists of Calypso to assist us in this matter. As earlier, rewards will be offered in exchange for the successful recovery of Data Storage Units from the Core.

Good luck out there!

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 18-hour normalized event score.

This scoring method removes the need for participants to track time spent in the instances (beyond meeting the 18-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 18-hour normalized point averages during the event period will be awarded the following rewards by Earth Shock Trooper command:

  • Modified Hedoc Mayhem
  • Improved Hedoc Mayhem
  • 3rd Place - CDF XTLC 1000
  • 4th Place - CDF XTLC 800
  • 5th Place - CDF XTLC 600
  • 6th Place - CDF XTLC 400
  • 7th Place - CDF XTLC 200
  • 8th Place - Universal Ammo - 4000 PED
  • 9th Place - Universal Ammo - 3000 PED
  • 10th Place - Universal Ammo - 2000 PED

***IMPORTANT*** Participants must complete at least 18 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 (only the highest bonus reward is awarded per avatar):

  • 10000 Points - 1200 PED Universal Ammo
  • 5000 Points - 500 PED Universal Ammo
  • 2500 Points- 250 PED Universal Ammo
  • 1000 Points - 100 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!
The Planet Calypso Dev Team
