It seems to me that changing to this 6 hour rule, MA has put the event back into the hands of the ubers. Those of you who think you can kill more than the elite ubers are kidding yourself. Do the math. (high skills, foeripper, evil amp, all the elite armor's, fap's) The only way you will win is if their timer is broken and they stay online for 1 second more than they are supposed to.

It seems to me it is just like the uber loots. The same people seem to get them time and time again over and over while i have never had the honor of one in all my years of playing. Believe me, it's not because i'm not putting in the time but rather just the unluckiest person in the universe. So what makes this event any different?

Sorry for the rant.

Yep. There's no blaming MA for this one. This is a pure example of "he who bitches loudest wins." Maybe those of us who were happy and looking forward to the event should have bitched about those who were bitching louder. I would have much prefered to assess the event and make my decision to not participate originally than to wake up this morning only to be sorely disappointed. Why does everything have to be for everyone anyway? There's no possible way to make everyone happy.

But in big troxies and mulaakf areas we have 4-5 players in same area. Thats mean no lag, pretty decent mob spawn and no time spent to huge lag and finding mob.


Now think who have advantage here
Those are my thoughts

MA shuld add 50000 new land areas for this event with young mobs so there wont be any lag and u wont have ppl on your radar! oh wait...


I get your point non the less, its all about tactic aswell =)
in pvp4 surely those who hunt big mobs will try to kill echoter to make it harder, maybe they wont. i donno. will be fun to see

That is an interesting statement.... what if... everyone accidentally disqualifies themselves by staying on an extra minute... and someone not even trying just happens to win the LA?

No reason to think that would be against the rules. Same with running trains to a designated killer. Those are just sound tactics and will maximize the 6 hours you have.

Rules
For health reasons, participants in the Merry Mayhem event may only spend a maximum of six hours logged onto Entropia Universe during every 24 hour period for the duration of the event. The 24 periods start from Friday Dec. 21 18:00 UTC. Participants that exceed this limit will be disqualified. It is up to participants to keep track of their time online. We also recommend that participants do not play for six hours straight, but take regular breaks with physical exercise or activity, food and refreshments during each session.

Creatures killed by teams will not generate points. Club NeverDie hunting domes are included.

3) You won't, MindArk will. We may issue some sort of leaderboards, but that is not decided yet.
4) MindArk counts your total online time per 24h period. Automatically. If it is more than 6h total online time you are out of the contest. We just count time online. If you hunt, idle or mine, it doesn't matter.

And no registration needed. All avatars are in the contest until DQ occurs or the contest ends.

Which means I'm going to be DQ three hours into this thing.

Is the 24 hour time period going to be from 18:00 hrs to 18:00 hours or will it be from 00:00 to 00:00 ?? This is very important for me to know.
