ARX for ganking confirmed

That 8.9% Tencent influence has gone right over my head, they must be gnashing their teeth in frustration over not getting my hard-earned in their account through forced micro-transactions.

I don't think they've even managed to convince fdev to localise the game into Chinese yet

ARX earned through playing are accumulated by the servers, so players won't miss out if their game client disconnects. Upon logging in, players will see their earnings.....

Thanks Stephen.

Dare I say the forbidden word?

You only earn arx for things people do, not for things people only complain about

As in the effect on Powerplay- what parts of that contribute to Arx generation, and if so, what is the merit conversion (i.e. 1000 merits = 1 Arx for example). People module shop and used to be a nuisance doing rando things. Will Arx do the same, so any 5C can earn Arx while they ruin the feature for others?

It would best be set at 1 Arx for 1 merit, then it can't do any real harm.

Here's a novel idea: 50 Arx every time you are ganked (maybe once per week, or by a player that hasn't killed you before).

You'd get customers queueing up to be slaughtered.

Trade, Combat and Exploration are not an exhaustive list of activities that will earn you ARX, just prime examples. We’ve done our best to make sure that every play style is accommodated.

Thanks, I feel kinda silly with the initial example, as, yeah, selling the goods would be "trading" anyway.

A question would be, is it "easy"(because so many things in game Dev are....) To add new triggers for ARX earning into the system?

It has to be a guess, because those types of detailing were not given in the examples that Frontier posted. But my guess is 1640, making them £0.98 when bought with the 5000 Arx pack, rather than the £1 that they are now.

Yeah, I also estimated 1 quid equals roughly 1,672 Arx points based on the exchange rate on page 1 of this thread. Given we can't earn more than 400 points a week, guess it will take over 4 weeks to exchange 1 pound worth of cosmetics which takes longer than to unlock a PP weapon or module.

Seriously, I do not understand the whole rant.

Something will change. That upsets some people. It doesnt matter what changes, or why. Every time something changes, people get very upset.

 

[Ian Skippy]

We need these details because otherwise players will not know what to do to earn Arx and it will definitely change how people play.

I pity the person who changes how he plays a game in his leisure time on the off-chance of earning 28p instead of 25p per 30h. Seriously, the idea someone would do that to increase his 'hourly wage' by quite literally £0.001 is depressing.

People adapt their playing style and activities even to earn more CR in-game which literally nets you nothing in terms or real world value. You can be sure many will want to max out the weekly 400 Arx cap as soon as possible.

And right after they're done playing they go to the local pub and buy one or two overpriced glasses of Scotch.
The irony.

I hope lifetime expansion pack owners (and kickstarter backers!) get some free ARX

They will. In fact, everyone will.

Reading through the posts in this thread I can see that some people have legitimate points and complaints and others are just bat crap crazy but as someone who hardly ever buys from the store because I don't see the point in buying something that doesn't improve the functionality of my ship just to make it look pretty then the introduction of ARX more specifically the ability to earn them is perfect and I'll gladly accept my 2 free paint jobs every 3 weeks

As long as it's not too difficult to hit 400 arx per week. I'm not sure everyone's going to be hitting their cap every week.

 

[avow555]

In the stream last week they earned 14Arx during an hour of playing!

Of course lack of change also upsets some people.

Triple Arx earned in-game for LEP owners!

Or did I dream that? ...
