Entropia Universe 18.7.1 Patch Notes

Greetings Entropians,

As we work to enhance your experience in Entropia Universe, we're excited to share the latest updates in Version 18.7.1. In response to your feedback, we've improved our Immersive NPCs and significantly expanded their map knowledge.

 

New Features

  • Immersive NPCs response times have been optimized for faster performance
  • Immersive NPCs now handle multiple requests regarding creatures, locations, and more
  • Immersive NPCs now handle generalized and "fuzzy" questions better, allowing them to respond to a wider range of inquiries. This makes it easier to ask about nearby creatures, locations, teleporters, and more without needing exact details. For example, you can now:
    • Ask about nearby creatures to hunt in the area or in general
    • Request multiple waypoints to different locations
    • Find new teleporters, cities, villages, and similar points of interest around the map
    • Inquire about the closest locations to a specific object or area
    • Ask where you can repair your items, TT items, auction items, and other services
    • Find out about teleporters that you haven’t unlocked yet
    • Request multiple lists of locations, such as the 10 nearest creatures to your current position or 10 creatures within the surrounding area
  • Expanded NPC Senses range: 1–2.5 km for creatures/terminals and most of Calypso for map locations

 

Fixes

  • Resolved issue with NPCs being slow or "tired." Responses are now faster, even for complex queries

 

Additional Notes

Each Immersive NPC has unique capabilities and areas of expertise; some focus on Entropia’s history, lore, or immersive storytelling, while others assist and guide, focusing on helping you find creatures, locations, teleporters, other NPCs, or world objects.

While most interactions should be accurate based on the data we've provided, occasional inaccuracies or incomplete responses may occur due to the nature of the technology we are using. We are continually refining the system to enhance reliability and reduce such issues in the future.

We're actively seeking your feedback and are always looking for ways to improve your experience. As we move forward, we'll expand NPC coverage across Calypso, ensuring that one or more NPCs cover every creature location, teleporter, map point, and terminal.

When an NPC gives out directions for creature locations, they do not track the current location of every creature in the game. Instead, the information provided is for the area where the creatures spawn. You may only sometimes find the creature at the exact waypoint the NPC offers, so make sure to search the nearby area.

 

MindArk and the Planet Partners strive to ensure a smooth and problem-free Version Update. Nevertheless, even after extensive testing some issues may arise after release. Such issues are often addressed via mini-patches directly after a release and in subsequent patches. If you feel that the possibility of encountering minor issues or bugs directly after a Version Update affects your gameplay to an extent that Entropia Universe is not enjoyable, please wait until the mini-patches have been released and any last minute issues have been resolved.

Entropia Universe 18.7.0 Release Notes

New Features

  • "S.E.N.S.E" Update:
    • Immersive NPCs now exhibit more lifelike and context-aware interactions.
    • Immersive NPCs now have environmental awareness, allowing them to reference their surroundings (map locations, terminals, creature areas, etc.).
  • Chat Bubbles:
    • Immersive NPC uses chat bubbles when walking in their vicinity, drawing on prior interactions and their unique personalities.
  • Enhanced Conversational Skills:
    • Conversations with Immersive NPC are smoother and more natural, focusing on meaningful exchanges rather than simply offering assistance.
    • Some NPCs will still be kept as pure assistants for tutorial purposes and in-game help in some cases.
  • Clickable Links and Waypoints:
    • Immersive NPC can offer clickable links to waypoints, map locations and teleporters, other NPCs, terminals and various world objects, aiding in more seamless navigation and exploration.
  • Memory and Context Improvements:
    • NPC remembers previous interactions more clearly, making ongoing dialogue more natural and coherent.
  • Knowledge Retrieval:
    • The immersive NPC system for information retrieval has been improved, providing more detailed and accurate information about Entropia's lore and game mechanics as it expands.
  • Enhanced Personalities:
    • Each Immersive NPC has a distinct personality (e.g., reserved, curious, outgoing), making interactions varied and more lifelike.

Disclaimer: While Immersive NPCs utilize advanced AI to provide dynamic and personalized interactions, they are fully self-driven systems. As such, there is the potential for NPCs to generate responses that may not be 100% accurate or consistent with all game mechanics or lore. We will continuously refine the AI system to make the AI answer more accurately.

Entropia Universe 18.7.0 Pre-Release Notes

S.E.N.S.E Update

We are excited to present the "S.E.N.S.E" update, a new chapter for Entropia Universe, where our Immersive Companions take a bold step forward. These Immersive Agents are now more aware of their surroundings and can engage in more thoughtful and lifelike interactions, making them feel more dynamic than ever before. With new senses and contextual understanding, these companions will offer more immersive experiences as they engage with players and the world around them.

 

Chat Bubbles: A New Way to Connect

Immersive Companions can now actively engage with you through chat bubbles that draw your attention and suggest conversation topics based on what they’ve learned from your previous interactions. These greetings are personalized, considering the agent’s personality and your history together, creating a deeper sense of connection and engagement.

Enhanced Conversational Skills: Fluid and Adaptive

The conversational abilities of these agents have been greatly improved, allowing for smoother, more natural dialogues. Each Immersive Companion adapts to your one-on-one interactions, making conversations feel personal and responsive. Rather than just offering help, they now focus on creating meaningful exchanges ranging from casual to informative. Some may still assist directly when asked, but they are more likely to engage you in conversations that feel alive and reactive to your input.

 

S.E.N.S.E Sensory Environment and Neural Synchronization Engine 

For the first time, Immersive Companions have been given Senses—a level of environmental awareness that allows them to understand where they are and what’s around them. They can now reference their exact location, nearby terminals, creatures, and other important game elements. These new senses make conversations richer and more useful, as companions can help you navigate the world, point you toward key locations, or discuss the environment around them in a natural and informative way.

 

Autonomy in Interaction: Conversations with Character

While these agents still aim to help, they now exhibit a degree of autonomy in their actions. They might choose to assist you in finding a waypoint or opt to keep the conversation going instead. Their personality traits influence their responses and behaviors, meaning each interaction will feel different depending on the Immersive Companion you're speaking with. They won’t just be generic NPCs offering directions—they’ll respond based on the rapport you’ve built and the situation at hand.

 

Clickable Links and Waypoints: Seamless Navigation

In-game interactions are more dynamic now, with Immersive Companions offering clickable links to locations, waypoints, and items. Whether setting a waypoint to a repair terminal or pointing you toward a landmark, these companions are equipped with practical knowledge of the world to make your exploration smoother. All of this is done seamlessly, based on their understanding of the world around them.

Memory and Context: Conversations That Evolve

Immersive Companions now maintain a memory of your interactions, making conversations more fluid and continuous. They can recall previous chats and bring up past topics, creating an ongoing dialogue rather than isolated encounters. This memory creates a more cohesive and personal relationship with each companion, allowing for deeper engagement.

 

Knowledge Retrieval: Expanding Their Expertise

With improved access to the knowledge base, Immersive Companions can now provide more accurate and detailed information about Entropia’s lore and general game knowledge. Their answers will continue to become more comprehensive with future updates, making them valuable sources of in-game information, especially as their database of knowledge grows and evolves.

 

Enhanced Personalities: Unique and Lifelike

Every Immersive Companion now has a distinct personality that comes through in interactions. Whether they are reserved, curious, or outgoing, each companion behaves in a way that fits their unique character. Conversations will vary based on their traits, making each interaction feel different from the last. You’ll notice this distinctiveness in their responses, tone, and the way they engage with you.

 

Unreal Integration

Everything we do in this update will seamlessly transfer to our upcoming Unreal integration. The current and Unreal clients are designed to run simultaneously, allowing players to transition between them without disruption. All the advancements in the S.E.N.S.E system and Immersive Companions will carry over, offering the same lifelike interactions and dynamic experiences regardless of which client you're using.

MindArk and the Planet Partners strive to ensure a smooth and problem-free Version Update. Nevertheless, even after extensive testing some issues may arise after release. Such issues are often addressed via mini-patches directly after a release and in subsequent patches. If you feel that the possibility of encountering minor issues or bugs directly after a Version Update affects your gameplay to an extent that Entropia Universe is not enjoyable, please wait until the mini-patches have been released and any last minute issues have been resolved.

Introduction

  • New Feature: Immersive NPCs Sarah Tergus and Jax Terron are now available on Planet Calypso.
    • Function: Providing essential hints and personalized guidance for new players.
  • Bonus Feature: Sayah King - Virtual AI Avatar is now available at https://www.entropiauniverse.com/.
    • Function: Announcing future updates and guide players through getting started with Entropia Universe on the Entropia Universe website.


Purpose and Limitations

  • Goal: Assist beginners in navigating early stages without overwhelming complexity.
  • Community Role: NPCs complement, not replace, community engagement for game insights.
  • Phased Approach: Ensures all new players find valuable resources and support.

Memory and Personalization

  • Memory System: Short and long-term memory capabilities for human-like interactions.

Choosing your words wisely is a good approach when starting out conversations with an NPC for the first time.


Privacy and Data Use

  • Privacy Assurance: Designed to enhance experience without compromising security.
  • Data Access: Only non-sensitive data like avatar name and strength level are accessed.
  • Data Usage: Information used solely to tailor interactions, adhering to privacy laws.
  • User Precautions: Users are urged not to share personal information with Immersive NPCs.
