monthly competitions to keep all new and ufe players interested

hello everyone, what do you guys/girls think about having monthly competitions with chances of rewards for every premium player, from new to ufe.
To enter the competition a player would need to be a premium member. The idea for a competition each month would allow new players and players up to ufe to take part in winning a guaranteed monthly reward for coming within the top 10.

It would give the free players an incentive to pay the small fee for being a prem player by allowing them to take part in a monthly competition to gain a rare prize.

The idea is for an ongoing monthly theme, which all players can do compromising of a 2 tier system so it splits the novice/new players from the ufe/experienced players. There would be 2 separate sets of rewards. one set of rewards for the novice/new players, and a separate set of rewards for the ufe/experienced players. This would give the novice/new players a better chance of progressing through the game, which would likely bring new people to the game.

* players from novice to level 19 can take part in a monthly event which they can use their limited abilities to give them a much fairer/realistic chance of getting a monthly reward.

* players from level 20 to ufe can take part in their monthly event, due to their ships being far more superior than novice/new players, they can only take part in their own competition.

Rewards could be on a sliding scale as follows:

1st place: 1 x level 16 fully upgraded lf4 laser
2nd place: 1 x lf4 laser
3rd place: 1 x level 16 fully upgraded B02 shield generator
4th place: 1 x free ship hanger
5th place: 1 month free prem 1 x rebate package + bonus box doubler for 1 month
6th place: 10,000 rsb
7th place: 2 x XL cloaking chip
8th place: 10,000 x 4 laser ammo
9th place: 10,000 uridium
10th place: 30 log disks

* Guys this is just an idea, and the rewards are only an example, would be good for your feedback.
*We all know dark orbit has lost players and servers aren't as busy as they used to be so how can dark orbit attract people back to the game with realistic rewards etc.. also some new players are finding it difficult to progress through the game due to facing unrealistic expectations. Facing a monthly challenge would keep people interested in the game and give them something to aim for.
* A fee of being a premium member would be needed to enter the competition so dark orbit wouldn't be losing out, plus it would add a bit of spice to the game with more things to do.

 

Level has nothing to do with equipment . A lot of lvl 21 players who aren't ufe and level 10 players with 10 hercules ( paying ) . So it should be based on the equipment .. while the ufe-s have the equipment already and don't need the prizes ( only premium maybe ) .

 

So I have "limited abilites"? I've been Sub-UFE since level 15, taken out some noob UFEs, and there are players that are level 14 or so, and are completely UFE.

There are people not even close to UFE, but they can be level 21 or so. Highest I've seen is a level 23 player that's not UFE.

Just a massive no to this idea.

 

Make the first range smaller in levels, more like level 15 tops. Its really easy to get to level 16 if you are actually playing the game. DO never sets anything according to equipment, look at the Training Area.

Now my question for the OP is what exactly is the competition besides "The Premium Player" competition? And is it per server or all players compete in one server?

 

the idea was just so it would give better incentives for new players that haven't got thousands of pounds to put on to the game. To attract more people to the game and more ideas for incentives is a must. if not then how are dark orbit going to bring new people to the game.?
we all know servers are slowly diminishing. the paying players have pretty much spent a small fortune getting to ufe and now there is too much of a difference in players level of strength and power. new players will just keep getting popped, eventually leading for those players to leave the game. yes maybe drop the first tier down to level 15.

you say that you have been sub ufe since level 15.? ufe is 45 lf4s and all drone designs etc. i doubt that what you say is correct as you would have needed to do numerous gates to reach near ufe and therefore you would not be anywhere near level 15, so i would appreciate some ideas to get new players back to the game instead of slating numerous threads. thank you very much

like i said it was an idea, just thinking of ways to bring new players to the game with incentives for them as well as getting them to be premium. there is too much difference now in players strengths and new players wouldn't last 2 minutes on the maps nowadays. there is no incentive to come on to a game to be constantly popped by ufe players, therefore something needs to be done to keep the new players playing. i thought that a competition of some sort, whether it be popping aliens or collecting rocks would be something to aim for and have monthly challenges with good rewards.

the competition could be per server. the competition could be popping aliens ,collecting rocks etc.. was just an idea to keep new players on the game.

show me a level 10 player that is ufe. as to get all drone design and lf4s, youd end up being at least level 19 after completing all the gates, your info is incorrect

 

So level of a player determines skill level?

 

players from new to level 15 would probably be more realistic. if a player has extensive knowledge of the game then yes i suppose they could get advanced fairly quickly, but not ufe in under level 15. this game needs more new players and keeping the players.

 

Clearly there is no way to get UFE at level 10 ^^
Look at it like this.
You can be FE the moment you start, before you become a level 2. You can easily buy Uridium and get all your LF3s, B02s, Irises, Apis, Zeus, extras, etc., and upgrade them to level 16, before you even start playing. Hell, the very first thing you can do is to buy a ton of Uridium, and start gate bashing at that very moment.

You are considered Sub-UFE if you have items better than FE standards.
And keep all your consecutive posts in one full posts, if a mod sees it, they'll either delete the extra, or combine them.

 

What gates do you need ? Havoc doesn't matter , hercules you get recently if you pay 33 $ and lf4 you receive from booty . I assure you that someone who has a ton of money and bank from a specific country ( i don't mention it again for a ban ) at the right time will have an ufe account at lvl 3-4 if he wants . With gates we may ask Okapi who made a GE1 account only with kappas .

 

if the above is correct , then can someone close this thread please. there is no point in me posting ideas to keep new players on a game that is money orientated. basically if people want to succeed, they need to pay the price. . ty

 

You will reach minimum of level 14 or so if you did get a Hercules for every Kappa. So with 10 kappas, do the math.

 

Payment = hercules ( as a bonus , not for kappa ) if you really want to have a ufe account on low lvl . Everything is possible with money

 

thread can now be closed.

 

UFE is considered as a minimum of 45 LF4s (15 on Goliath, 20 on Iris, Apis & Zeus, and 10 on PET), 45 Shield Generators, and all of those items have to be upgraded to level 16.
So getting the LF4s will take you up to the double digit levels.

Someone can have Full Hercules, but be super weak.

 

Closing as requested.
