Entropia Universe: Entropia Universe Stable Estates

To think people would sink more cash into taming...

 

.. somewhere .. I have a rotten pet deed .. maybe I drag it out .. sometime .. later in autumn .. some year :D

 

'pay us upfront and we promise to try to make what you bought in the future'

in future news

"A limited number of EU Brothels will be made available on the Entropia Universe auction. These new estates will generate revenue through the oldest channel in the book.

The brothels will generate revenue for the madams by charging a small fee for services rendered'

 

MindArk dares to announce taming once again ?
Why couldnt they wait for the end of 2015, making it a 10 year anniversary ?
(10 f*cking years!!! And chances are (very) high, that we will reach 2015 anyway (without any taming)!!!)

And before it is even introduced, MindArk already throws in various other ideas like the stable-deed
with its glorious revenue ?

A web based battle arena with gazzillion features ?

A compet app where cats&dogs fight pandas...and atroxes ?

You never fail(ed) to dissapoint me, in showing, how special you really are.
And I mean it, when I say special. =)

 

Maybe maybe not, we might have ended up paying less if we new the specs. Now we can't complain because we were gambling while bidding on some vague idea :)

My purchase was a shared purchase from 4 avatars btw.

 

yes, but with the speed of MA that can take decades :-)

 

To do list:

-buy whip (again) not "L" !
-buy a brush (again)
-buy nutrio bars
-rent stalls for my pet-deeds, which greatly would boost their performance...
(and stable owners keep in mind that you will have to provide tons of food & energy or whatever MA will come up with this time)
-buy even more nutrio bars
-(probably will have to) skill my animals up (again)(?)
-"improve" my own animal taming skills
-realize that my pets will suck in combat (if ever introduced) as I wont spend 250$ in it
-realize I spent/invested many PEDs on "something"...hum

But maybe MA will make everyone be able to tame cheap ?
Just like vehicles.

Maybe we will indeed be able to buy (already) tamed cats&dogs&pandas, so that the ComPet app will actually make sense ? (these tamed animals would be imported from planet earth, or beeing recreated from their DNA...probably as an CDF anouncement)

I can imagine even more special moments, now that taming stage 1 is so close of beeing released (once again).

Autumn 2014 (23 Sept. to 22 Dec.) - Thats only max. 141 days left. Keep in mind that stage 2, the stables, will be introdued "later 2014". So probably only 3 months until 100% of taming.

Then again, pets will "only be released" around autumn 2014. No word of full functionallity.
And "stable funtionallity" can mean everything, from 10% ready to 50% ready. ;p

My blog is ready... ;)

 

New profession! Geisha! With sub-professions in running events (already implemented), dancing (wanted by neverdie since forever), hair and makeup (already implemented) and playing a Shamisen. Only one problem, Danna's may find their Geisha's disappear into the floor when performing certain actions/animations. Additionally "Lying down" animation is due to return to the game just after NASA complete a manned mission to Mars.

You guys are braver (?) than I... I really hope everyone remembers the above sentiment when December disappears into the obscurity of memory and still nothing has materialised.

For example, anyone remember how animal possession/control pills were meant to show up in loot some months ago? We even had evidence MA had that partially implemented. Nothing has materialised since though and there is not a peep from MA that we didn't even imagine it all. No delay announcements or anything. Just a "Inhabit creatures? oh er... yes we.... ah.... are going to... GO ON HOLIDAY!!! yes yes that is what we are going to do, bye bye".

Not so long ago MA said there would be no point in bringing back taming in its original form but now they say they will "as a first step".

Honestly McCormick has said all I could say on this subject. I really hope the best for everyone who has bought deeds honestly I do. I don't want to see anyone making a bad mistake so I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

It just isn't a path I'd have followed you down. I'd never bet on a vague concept; Not even if you paid me. I'd rather gamble 20k on throwing a 6 in one go (and that is probably comparatively good odds!).

Tass I agree, too vague and bad timing with summer holidays and all... but it seems people still believe...

"Now who'd have thought, that after all, something as simple as stable deeds would save us all?"

Not me no...

Spot on! Want me to do you an entry on asymetric avatars/clothes/texures? I'm pretty certain they aren't coming back

 

I don't think most stable owner are dead set on 'autumn' or 'later this year'. The owners i do know have been playing this game long enough, and succesful enough to realize that in software development there are always delays, and the end product hardly ever is a good as you hope from the original ideas.

Personally i don't expect anything to be released for the stable owners this year (well probably an empty building to walk around in). So i won't start bitching till the second quarter of 2015.

Thanks for wishing us well, and i'm sure there'll be some frustrations with the introduction of stables.

Off course it's a gamble, but to me it makes a lot more sense to buy a stable then to buy a gun for 100k, and there are loads of people doing that.

The only thing that worries me is the possibility that a stable owner will have to do an activity to take care of the peds in the stable, with skills involved, or with a lot of work involved. It would take away too much time from my regular activities.
