[SC] UNOFFICIAL: DarkOrbit Revealed Archive

At the least you wrote the 'grazy' aka grazed the view of what is coming maybe - right

 

I can't wait for the 3D view of DO in-game!

 

I can't wait for it to fail and not come out.

 

Very funny!

 

I think they're in the process of adding a new test server, could be a sign that the 3D mode is on the way soon-ish (a few months) ^^

http://darkorbit-1103-www.nuev2.bigpoint.net/

Link is dead for now but the server ID 1103 is linked to test3 now, test3 used to just redirect back to int1.
Either way I have now added test3 to my "tracker" just to make sure something big doesn't fly under the radar.

 

w00t w00t that was fast, i was expecting 3D mode for 2015

 

Everything I post without real proof to back up is speculation, so in reality a dev could happen to read this and say "he knows nothing about this 3D mode and when it will come" and they would be 100% correct x)

They did say however that we would see it before the end of the year, but again what I post is just speculation, don't go off it as something that is set in stone.

 

i think the bp team made a new game with epic big bug´s^^

 

They made another crap lag fest? Oh boy lol

 

Another cockroach game...can't wait to jump over and over and land on cockroaches after etc. ..let me get my rope...gonna hang this game UP! Or play jumping jacks

 

More text logs for training grounds 1v1 system:

Play a quick 1 vs 1 random match.
Once the match has finished you will be returned to the map where you was before, with hp and shield recovered.
Your drones will not get damaged and you will not lose any resource if you are destroyed.

Look pretty standard stuff, good to see we wont have to worry about drone damage though.



The only other thing is weird ... on test1 the item name "Bootykey" has been changed to 戦利品の鍵 which turns out to be Japanese for booty key. This could be a sign they are going to try another attempt at breaking into the Asian gaming market.
It could also be that the name font change today was to make Asian language characters visible, although I have not tried it myself yet.

Edit:
After trying it, the font change does appear to be so that Japanese / Chinese / Korean etc characters can be seen. I think the big marketing campaign DO was hinting at might be kicking off in Asia.

 

Nice, i was wondering why that font change happened. And the news are rally good because i'm playing on GA4 which was originally name Asia so it means that we're gonna get a whole bunch of new players.

 

The only issue is that since GA4 servers are now located in America I think they would have to make new servers for the Asian audience, which would be a interesting development when the European and American servers are nowhere near full.

Who knows though, if anything is to happen I can't see it happening soon, so we just have to wait and see. I will keep a look out for new language keys being added.

 

I didn't knew they've actually moved the hardware in America.

And as you say, the servers are too many for the number of active players, and opening new ones would just make players from the servers with few players move on the new ones, resulting on some servers being completely dead and i don't think that this the result they want in their marketing strategy.

Anyway, keep up the good work, and thank you on the bahalf of the community.

 

I could be wrong but I think they were forced to move it due to some laws in the host country preventing them from bringing out updates.

Thanks for the praise

 

Hello !


Palladium has changed ?

 

P.S. I hope you don’t have anything planned for mid-summer.

I'm willing to bet 5mil uri it's just hinting at the 1v1 system and possibly group finder. Will be a big feature for some.

Probably in the on-going battle against pixel bots, I will do a check of all other collectables / ores in a bit to see if everything is getting a new look or if it was just palladium.

 

Was there a test server on?

 

After a quick check the only new addition is a new path relating to the influence event:

Code:

<location path="graphics/ui/windows/influenceWindow/" id="graphics_ui_windows_influenceWindow"/> 

Looks to be just a slight clean up of the xml to put it in a more logical place, the influence window used to just have it's own folder instead of being part of the ui path.
However the clean up could be a sign that they intend to put the event one again, it would surprise me if they didn't.

Nope.
The test server might go on to do a public beta test of the 1v1 system but right now all that exists on there are some text logs, no windows or anything for people to look at.
So if it does come on for public testing I think it would be a couple of weeks away yet.
