Comments on mining:
At first, this run was awful. I wish I had made it for like 5 probes only as I had a VII Azur on my 5th probe.

Well, if that would still be like 200%+, this run hight have been much closer to being profit right now. Anyways, haven't had a green mining run balance in some while.

My mining balance is +115.70 now.

Comments on hunting:

At first I tried drones but they looted horrible, then tried scips with my socmate and they weren't anything special as well. -59.99
Then I did some teamhunt for snables, made +2PED (yay!

) but then my previous socmate said he was stuck in some LA woth troxes and I had to save him... it costed me 9.61 -_-
..And now, after all those losses, I hoped for some change of situation and went to hunt Feffoids. Like, after the new VU they had improved challenge or something..
LITTLE DID I KNOW that they were rendered unhuntable for most of the players previously hunting for them. Like, they have about 3 times more HP, and their regeneration rate is so huge that when I tried using BreerM2a+a102 as a finisher gun on it, it recovered faster than I could hit it!!!

Plus there were lags all around, making me disconnected, stuck, and keeping me wait for loot like almost a minute on most of mobs, in the end after 50PED of ammo I had lost -46.21!!!

Is this some brand new 5% return ratio!? Besides, even when hunting them solo with Korss they regenerated some fine amount of additional HP, so now they simply cannot be hunted without team. However, I'd rather teaming up for Scipulors or even Hogglos instead in that case, even though I don't like Hogglos that much.

This is what MA said to me about this:
We are constantly working on improving Entropia Universe to make it an enjoyable place for all. However, in this process, it is difficult to please everyone. It is regrettable that you feel so frustrated at the moment, as you are an important member of the Entropia Universe community. Please follow the Support News section of the website for further information about the updates.

I hope they really do something about it. My idea was that they should introduce new mobs instead of changing the new ones, that would leave both old and new players satisfied.

TOTAL these days:
-113.81

My hunting balance is +47.91 now.

If the feffs are now harder to kill,will the price of kors go up?

Maybe, but then literally EVERYBODY will start using P5a as the price difference will be even more noticeable. When that happens, people hunting Feffoids 2 will simply start using korss they loot on them (as they really take at least amped korss to kill now), and hunting them will become completely useless profit-wise.

Well I don't have to pay for korss markup but I still saw how fast Feffoid 2 regenerated, and even with my eco I'd have to hunt in team for it to get eco for letting it regenerate less.

But if the matter is about teamhunt, I'd rather a bigger/better mob than that. Simple as it is, much less sense to hunt Feffoid 2 now.

Comments on mining:
..the many IIs at the very end were really funny. Luckily, a III Devil's was amongst them

It saved my run, mostly.

My mining balance is +126.21 now.

Comments on hunting:
I tried some of them those Atrox 2 in a team. Now I understand why people were getting so much globals on them, lol. Anyways, still lots of TT food, basically the same loot as always, L gun they dropped was TT food (106%) that I'll probably use for skilling (or not), and basically it's just a puffed up uber nub mob

Well, at least it dropped lots of that TT food!!

..the screen capture somehow went awkward at the last few globals. Please pay attention to teh last image..

Immortal said I should put it as my new signature, rofl..

TOTAL these days:
+101.11 *(^v^)*

My hunting balance is +149.02 now.

(note that it goth globalled and "didn't give any loot" ..?

A bad omen!!)

Comments on mining:
Well, this run was a nrf-ful crap. I met my socleader Joe running around at about the same location, and, well, we then started a team and surprisingly my mining started to go better. Especially funny was when I had nrf, pressed buttons to move on but instead pressed the wrong one, triggering probe drop.. which resulted in a nice IV Devil's tail find

..

That didn't save the run from being a disaster, though.

My mining balance is +117.36 now.

Comments on hunting:
I tried stabbing some of them those snables with a kitchen knife in order to reach my set aims of nubishness hunt. It went well, and after using full TT of the knife I had gained 1 Strength and had+-0.00 balance so I went on, and.. um, lost 4.66 as loot seemed to be taken away fully from each of the mobs there, however I gained 2 more str very quickly and now it's 20! yay!

I can carry around more by having a new rank in strength.
Then I tried bots and warriors.. a bit drones by myself, it went terrible, then drones and warriors with Joe, loot was terrible but we had one global, and then a bit by myself, having no minis or anything and losing 134.55 in the end

TOTAL these days:
-139.21

..In other words, instead of hunting I could've just watched this Youtube Poop all day long and that would have saved me lots of PEDs:
