    50 points in one year / how about 50 points in one week except for the sep that was needed
     
  2. Yeah would not be fair. if you had extra damage, extra avoidance, extra guaigance, + more box content more ep and honor. It was made to be 50 pilot points for a reason. so you would not be to advanced
     
  3. You are right, it doesnt allow for extra pvp power unless you dont have that already under the 50pp limit. if anything, it just allows a player to use other pp for npcs and stuff. I think its a good way for DO to make money and to entice players to play more in order to aquire these things.
     
  4. Nah, the reason the players went from one number to another is because alot left cuz DO moved slowly in removing botters and hackers, and then when they did act, they made it a penalty to pop botters. And alot of players who left were also botters and didnt want to start over.
     
  5. Why increasing pp number instead of addin extra skills on pilot bio
    so with 50 you could actually do have more things to do. add skills same 50 number of pp would work for me
     
  6. I like all your cute responses and this one makes if more feasible :cool: 45 more PP anyways after 50 PP :eek: Enjoy your box collecting :rolleyes:

    I highly disagree with this proposal, we don't need further implementations that would increase the gap between free players and spending players.

    It was never meant for free players to have the same things and advantages of a paying player without there working for it / if free players could get the same stuff and do gates like a paying player then who would be here to pay to keep this game going?? === {A free Player [ LOL ] I think not }
     
  9. Your logic is flawed because paying for something doesn't equal working for it like free players do, just because you don't think things are meant for free players doesn't mean the game needs bigger gaps between free and spending. I do have to say the idea isn't bad since the prices would be tremendous.

    Ofcourse it was never intended to give free players the same items without working for it, but there is a big difference in the following;

    Dark Orbit (old client):
    - Free players could bid on every item using credits they had worked for
    - Most expensive items would be drones (~647k uridium for 8 iris)
    - Paying players could still pay to gain advantage via premium, elite ammo, gate bashing etc. Players who contributed whether small or big gained respective advantages.

    Dark Orbit (new client):
    - Free players could not / still cannot bid on every item using credits
    - Total cost of new items (exceeds 20mill uridium)
    - There became two types of paying players;
    * Paying players who's level of contribution prior to update now barely improves ship
    * Paying players who can afford to buy everything full whack

    And what does this cause, this causes an unprecedented gap between standard players and the uber wallet warriors. A gap that only really affected ranks and gates had begun effecting gameplay, and that is wrong.

    Increasing the number of pilot points would further enhance this gap but ultimately destroy any confidence that Jonathan and the development team are bringing back to the community that Dark Orbit has learnt from its mistakes.
     
  11. You make a great point and I agree
     
  12. I disagree, the players that have the full 50 PP already have the necessary stuff to defeat players, but why not allow the extra PP for other things? this game isnt meant to remain free, and the so called wallet warriors are the reason why new updates, maps, ships, quests are coming about. Next time you decide to be mad at a wallet warrior, remember that they are what keep the game stable, not the free players. DO is a business, and if no money is made, then no new things can be created, no security can be enhanced etc....
     
  13. Let me start off by saying security sucks and is never enhanced, more expensive updates are brought out constantly though, the game isn't supposed to remain free? What kind of stupid garbage is that, it's advertised as a free game despite almost not being one, both free players and wallet warriors keep the game alive through a symbiotic relationship, free players remain cannon fodder for wallet warriors which keeps them around and spending lol. Hell if someone already spent 7-10 million uridium on 50 bio points then they should be able to keep wasting money on more, it really won't get them much, maybe extra help with ranking or some crap like that. For the record you didn't have to make two posts, just put both quotes in one post.
     
  14. The challenge of the Pilot Points is having to decide which points to pick up and which to leave. Currently you lean towards offense or defense or resources. But part of the game is the choice.

    I do not see an up side to increasing the number of available pilot points without giving away the core purpose of the choice.

    like it +1 :p , i wish all PPs to have but that will never happen o_O
    + DO will count moneys for that :rolleyes:
     
  16. Thanks, sometimes i forget the edit option lol. I do agree that the security needs help and something with the lag. I know that more people play, so that means the servers will not work as effectively i guess. But honestly, we need people to spend money, and although its states its free, survival isnt lmao

    I have to say no to this. The prices are already extremely high and once again only the top paying players could afford this. And along with that the top players would become even more overpowered with all of the new abilities they can now tac onto their list.
     
  18. It sounds good, but I know personally, I am not resetting my bio just to acquire new skills, especially since it took me forever to get there lol

    I do agree with you there, so I guess because they wouldn't want to reset it may not make too much of a deal.
     
  20. Because of the Hacks they dont do anything about
