Monster Truck BP's - Support CASE #459571

Monster truck bp’s now have been removed?..I dont understand…the mats were able to be acquired…I have Bonzo’s Lockpick bp… Its literally the only reason to go through this instance, to acquire tires n rims for monster truck bp’s… Are they getting rebalanced or what this is concerning…

Stating i continue to invest into this game and now things are being removed that weve invested into… ESPECIALLY things that can be acquired… Sure remove speed bikes cuz u dont want to add blue glass back into loot pool… I dont get it but, sure remove speed bike… but, monster truck mats mats CAN BE ACQUIRED! Now we have a bp for a key to an instance that literally has no point?.. I feel we deserve an explanation… If I cant get an explanation I believe I will no longer invest into a game where anytime my stuff will become useless…

This is VERY Disappointing…I mean we cant even get content on RT but, now ur removing content that can be earned/achieved…

Player owned instances are affected by this disaster MA… not cool… worse that no comment has been made… whether MA cares or not?..

Other Bp’s mentioned in thread that have been Removed that still have mats that drop and have purpose in game…
Chainsaw bp’s
Ghost (L). for Angel upgrade
Predator (L) for Jaguar Upgrade.
Jester D-4 (L) for A-3 Justifier Mk. 2 Upgrade
Spectre (L)

My theory is that they’re having an AI look at database information on the date when an item was last crafted by anyone or when the materials were last dropped, and if it isn’t within some recent time window its just pruning them. Little-to-no oversight over what is actually being removed. A solution might be as simple as making sure you craft a run of all of your BPs every now and then.

Lists are not finalized. Some BPs will be back, some more might be removed. No timeline communicated by MA.

This is crazy. What’s even crazier is that Ghost (L) blueprints have been removed from the game, AND THEY ARE NEEDED TO UPGRADE ANGEL TO ADJUSTED ANGEL! WTF!

Id just assume since there was backlash against genesis probes destroying entire planets items they figured itd just be better/easier to probe specific items without telling anyone…after all they’ve been probing players for decades and get away with it everytime.

Why are you outraged by the confiscation of one blueprint? (3 months after the confiscation), but not by the other hundreds of blueprints?

By the way, the Monster Truck Blueprints haven’t been formally deleted. They still exist as phantoms in the inventory list on the website.
But some were deleted immediately and completely. For example, Cbase Plastic Texture Blueprint.
A few days ago I received a request for a Cbase Texture. But I had to explain that the blueprint no longer exists. The Cbase Robot Plastic, of course, never disappeared. I’m literally looting it right now.

Not only Ghost (L).
Also Predator (L) for Jaguar Upgrade.
Also Jester D-4 (L) for A-3 Justifier Mk. 2 Upgrade.

But it’s too late to talk about it after 3 months. :frowning:

Hey,

I totally understand your frustration – and honestly, you’re not overreacting here.

What you’re describing has been happening in this game for years. Items and systems that once had value – things people invested time, effort, and money into – often get quietly devalued over time and eventually removed or made irrelevant altogether. We’ve seen this pattern again and again, not just with blueprints, but also with weapons, armor, and many other items.

That’s what makes situations like this so concerning. It’s not just about the Monster Truck BPs or the instance itself – it’s about trust. When you invest into something that is clearly part of the game loop, with obtainable materials and a defined purpose, you expect some level of stability or at least clear communication if changes are coming.

In your case, it makes even less sense because, like you said, the materials are still obtainable. So removing or disabling the purpose behind them leaves you with something that effectively has no use anymore. That’s not just disappointing – it undermines the whole idea of progression and investment.

And yeah, asking for an explanation is more than fair. Players deserve transparency, especially when real money and long-term effort are involved.

Unfortunately, based on past experience, this isn’t an isolated case. It’s part of a recurring pattern where value gets slowly drained out of certain items until they’re no longer relevant, and then they just fade out of the game.

We used to joke about it back in the day and say “Entropia Universe is dynamic.” But honestly, it stopped being funny a long time ago.

I really hope you get some kind of clarification, but I also understand your concern about continuing to invest under these conditions.

You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way.

because unlike u i dont own most if not all bp’s… so, im a small fly on what I can notice… I was under the assumption MA was only removing old/bp that dont have mats dropping… When ive been only not once have ppl complained about bp’s disappearing that had function while i was online in the planet chats… I stay out of universe and rookie chats if ppl talk about it in there simply for the same reason i stay out of most forum/discord talk cuz its mostly cancer… and rather than swim through all the toxicity I stay out of it… I think logically it pretty simple to see why someone might miss this stuff as to mentioned about this communities toxicity keeps most out of of these areas… so, shouldnt surprise anyone that many still dont know…

Like those bp’s u mentioned about the item upgrades #1 never even knew they were for upgrades #2 never knew they were removed… fcking crazy… im sure more of my bp’s were removed but, I didnt create a list of every single item I had tbh didnt realize i needed too…

Its getting fucking ridiculous tbf on the crafting side. Absolute shit show, it’s almost certainly AI without oversight causing these issues.

I want nothing but, this game to continue to grow and become bigger and bigger but, doing these types of things will lower trust and loyalty… We dont need that right now… We need transparency, Communication thats honest, we need future commitments to be filled, content added to the other Planets acquired… IE NI and RT… I mean if VS can do what they do with Ant doing it as a “side-gig” I think MA can afford 1 full-time person that can part-time NI and part-time RT… cmon guys…

But, what we CERTAINLY DONT NEED! Is to be removing things that can be made and things that are NEEDED for upgrades within the game… UNLESS those upgrades were “rebalanced” which idk if that was what happened here? but, id assume not… Lets try to move forward and gain population! NOT lose population due to negligent oversight…

MA has dont well bringing things in for new players like setesh and AI mission NPC’s that helps those have “Purpose”. They’ve done well with getting ARIS functioning on a fast track to become playable for others even if there were some set backs… Even the new space mining and readjustments there have been successful even if it was way to slow to get done but, its there… Please MA dont fck this progress up… We dont need the fragile trust you hold to break more…

I will say though for me though I know im a small fly compared to some, I will not depo until responsibility is acknowledged and corrected here… I mean im open to the idea maybe the bp’s are getting rebalanced but, if thats the case just fcking say it… instead of created a negative sense of future here…

Here’s a nugget IF MA wants a true ambassador on how to present info and communication to the players of the game hit me up… ffs… I have extensive background in customer service, management, HIPAA certified, and business owner myself XD. ATM IF AI is the ones making these decisions we need oversight/quality control on whats being pushed… We cant allow AI to push us backwards… Like lets try not to be a meme…

Even further if you guys dont know if its used in game… for whatever reason… USE your very own voting crap u put in game… I mean you already have systems in place to prevent this kind of sentiment…

Wouldn’t this make existing Angel armor more valuable due to limited supply? ?

It certainly would but, if they were transparent on the idea “hey we’re retiring Angel Armor from here on out. We’re sry for the inconvenience to everyone affected. But, those that have acquired the mu should in turn move up due to limited supply now. The reason for this move is we’re replacing it with the new armor set called “Demon” which will also, be an upgradeable set which will be added in 8 months time.”

lmfao im joking im sure no Demon set is comming but, if they for forth coming like this we would be more accepting and be like fck yea!

In some comments, you mentioned briefly seeing someone’s “useless” blueprints disappear, but you didn’t think much of it, as it was just chat.
You only really became concerned when you noticed something was missing from yours.
This isn’t an accusation.
I’m saying that the loss of Monster Truck blueprints is a completely insignificant event for most people. It’s only important for 5-7 players (you, me, soul, Bilko, Matt, and maybe a few others). For everyone else, these blueprints are completely useless (just like those blueprints from chat, for you).

The same can be said about any other confiscated blueprints. They were only meaningful to those involved, and that’s a microscopic percentage of players. For the rest, it’s either a reason for gloating or a reason to demand compensation.

But those who are truly involved suffered catastrophically. Unfortunately, I’ve been involved in many forms of “old” crafting on various planets, and I could create hundred of similar threads and support tickets regarding the numerous confiscated blueprints.
But that would be pointless, since the problem isn’t with individual blueprints. It’s that it’s fundamentally unfair and unacceptable*.

*I understand MA have the right to do whatever they want with our items in the game without explanation. But this has never happened before, and we’re already accustomed to not having items (let alone blueprints) confiscated from us.

No, This is incorrect and clearly misunderstood…
#1 Yes, i became concerned when if affected me just like most ppl… Which is also, the SAME time I learned more were deleted than just bp’s that didnt have purpose or mats droping for them…

#2 prior to me learning about the monster truck bp’s disappearing… the ONLY things ppl complained about like i mentioned before is things like the speed bike…IE something the mats dont drop for period… so, for me and anyone else that BP is complete and utterly worthless to the game, the owner, and anyone that might be swayed to believe otherwise… never ONCE did someone mention to ME or around me about bp’s that had use/that has materials still dropping like i mentioned AGAIN previously…

Im unsure why u keep this circle going?.. Like mentioned before I dont have time to spend all day scouring forum complaining to find that one person that finally means well… I dont have the time or patience for it… If you want my insight or opinion you can tag me, hit me up in Discord, msg me in game… Hell if you want me to make a comment hit me up…Others have done this in the past… IE the Extinction event…

But, I feel like im beating a dead horse at this point… IF someone at anytime wouldve complained about bp’s that disappeared that had TRUE meaning/value where the materials dropped IE the monster truck bp’s, Like Legends mentioned the Ghost (L) and Spectre (L) blueprints that have mats and still purpose… or like you mentioned Predator (L) for Jaguar Upgrade - Jester D-4 (L) for A-3 Justifier Mk. 2 Upgrade. Never once were these ever brought to MY attention, never once were they talked about around me… If you wanted my opinion in the paste you couldve reached out but, you didnt… Simply thinking nothing can be done after 3 month imhop is pretty narrow to think this way.

Ill even push something further if u think my response wouldve done anything or change the outcome look at the attention or response ive got from MA at this point… #1 socrates doesnt like me from NI times when they bait n switched IP on booth sales and MA didnt give a sht back then… and clearly no one wants to address this when I do speak out…

You would rather come at me for wtfe reason for bringing it up now… I try to get as much game time as I can and I will not waste my free time interacting with the toxic community and IF that is ur concern im sry I will not adjust how I spend my freetime to interact with this toxic community…

Now if you want to be constructive and work together on trying to get these types of things resolved I suggest we do that rather than whatever this is… I will not respond again if its not constructive…
