JPA On Hold - Feedback Thread

please do not post things that arent related to the actual thread

 

I guess if the winner cheated and he don't get the money of course, give the money to the other finalist, in the final round are 2 fighters, and only 1 cheater probably and not the other one, if the winner cheated, then give the money to the other finalist if he didn't cheated too.

 

Easy way to stop account sharing is an IP lock that could only be lifted by DO for a reason,ie going on holiday and want to use it in x country and then only for a max 4 weeks then back to old ip,that would put an end to sharing,selling,buying accounts

 

When Restarting a Router IP's Can change. You would need to have the location of the IP and If it changes to a different country in few minutes or something then you can realize the account is being shared

 

If DO is so salty about JPA contestants sharing accounts/trading accounts they could just run a check at the top 64 players remaining (or whatever number) to see if any of them have been account sharing/trading, if they have then remove them from the remainder of the JPA and do what you please with the account. I'm not sure how this would be done because I'm not a networking genius but obviously they can find out. This gives everyone the opportunity to compete, and when it gets down to the top players, they can find out who isn't playing fair. Then Bigpoint doesn't run into the issue of, "well First place player traded accounts and Second place player also traded accounts, i guess we will just shaft everyone and not give out prize money this month. yay. "

My two cents

 

Come on Bigpoint.... how you let these Turks make their events when u dont let us the JPA again, this really sucks, again Turkey Servers having more adventages than other servers... ---->> http://tr.bigpoint.com/darkorbit/board/threads/ic-savaslara-son.111358/#post-948879

 

And how it suppose to fix the big problem of bugusers if you dont share an account? it seems that botter some people here instead looking to the real issue.

I mean what it does matter if is an shared account or not, if he win because of using bugs or other programs in battle ?

C`mon

Just limit the functions of the game in JPA like you did with the old jackpot.

edit: is shared acc is big problem, make an option to cannot join JPA if the acc is logged from different city/country, but limited to 3 months for example.. because some travel and work in europe etc

 

The hard part is to not null an account where the person has moved say from Georgia to Texas.Just because location changes doesnt mean they are sharing, which is why they are taking the time to create a solution without nulling legit player.Im glad they halted JPA to address the issue properly.

 

And what Hard part is moved from Texas to Mexico, theres diferent flag and they maybe could get perma ban too when you are a legit player, im worried about it, cuz in the border so is diferent flag.

 

Return of Jackpot Battle
Generally the idea is about the return of the old Jackpot Battle with some changes to get interesting fights and fair winners!!!

For all people who dont remember the old Jackpot Battle:

Spoiler: Click here

• 20-25 Maps with max 500 people on one Map

• Quarterfinal 4 Maps with max 500 people

• Halffinal 2 Maps with max 500 people

• Final Map with max 500 people

• Final Map gets smaller until 1 Person is left (Jackpot Winner)

• All players where without name on the map was shown ******** as the nickname

• In the really past you saw the nickname + serverID

I think after a limit of users all Maps get NotAttackingZone (NAZ). After that there were like 5 minutes break where the surivors get merged to different Maps.

Lets say 20 000 registered Users on JPB so when 10% where alive they put NAZ and put the 2000 Users on 4 different Quarterfinal Maps and so on.





How the first Map could get created?

Total Server today: 55 (100%)
58-3 Italian are not allowed to take part in Jackpot because of some rules for gambling.


Europa West (25) Global 1-7(7), De 1-7(7), Fr 1-4 (4) ES 1-4 (4), SK, GB 1-2, IT 1-3(3)
45% --> 9 Maps
25 Servers/ 9 Maps = 2,77777= 2/3 Server on 1 Map

3 Server on each Map, maybe a combination between less busy and busy servers. Some Maps with 3 Servers and some Maps with 2 Servers. This can although be done with the nationalities (different countries).

Europe East (19) CZ 1-3 (3), PL 1-3 (3), RUS (1-6), TR (1-6), HU (1)
35% ---> 7 Maps = 2,7....= 2/3 Server on 1 Map

America East (8) Global America 1,2,3,5 (4), BR (1), USA East 1-3 (3)
15% --> 3 Maps = 2,7= 3 Server on 1 Map

America West (3) Global America 4 (1), Mexiko (1), USA West (1)
5% ---> 1 Map = 3 Server on 1 Map

This is a try to get fair and interesting fights. The idea is about let a few server playing there map until a number of surivivors. I was thinking about 20 maps and tried to make a fair combination about the number of servers. Each map is going to have 100 survivors. For sure bigpoint has better information in there data base to combinate the server with the number of activ users. If on the map no users are dying anymore the Map get smaller after 20-30 min like in JPA and like in old JPB. More information on the down.

First Round 20 Maps

Quarterfinal (2000 Users --> 100 of each Map)

Spoiler: Details

Map 1: Last 100 of MAP 1, MAP 4, MAP 8, MAP 12, MAP 16
Map 2: Last 100 of MAP 2, MAP 5, MAP 9, MAP 13, MAP 17
Map 3: Last 100 of MAP 3, MAP 6, MAP10, MAP 14, MAP 18
Map 4: Last 100 of MAP 7, MAP 11, MAP 15, MAP19, MAP 20

Half Final (1000 Users --> 250 of each Quarterfinal)
Map 1: MAP 1 and MAP 3
Map 2: MAP 2 and MAP 4

Final Map (500 Users --> 250 of each Half Final)

Over the time the map gets smaller so we going to have 1 winner in the end who dies last!

Each Map would run 30 minutes, after 25 min the map gets smaller and smaller. The whole Jackpot Battle would be 2 hours in total.

Changes for a new Jackpot Battle:

• Names, Clantag should be shown again, Server maybe too

• Protection of own Company in Round 1 (not nessary)

• Possibilty to create groups of 8 (Aegis, Cita going to be interesting ships for team fights)

• Deactivation of cloak (already exists before), deactivation of Direct Damage Mine because it kills people what works against free flying and team fights, the old mines and shield mines can only damage a lot but not kill, No kills without shooting

• Counter of alive users (Middle Up), existing before in the Log on the map, maybe something permanent (199/500) without opening a window. It can be in different way too for count down 500/100 so everybody knows how many need to die until the next map

• 4 New Archivments Bronze(reach Quarterfinal), Silver (reach Halffinal), Gold(reach Finalmap), Jackpot Winner

Tbh.. i dont like it, cause ur asking for the old jackpot battle, and thats was changed for the new actual JPA, its like if i were asking for the old DO client from 2012-2013 which was changed for the new DO Reloaded and many updates about 3D mode and formations, that no gonna happen either if i ask for the old client from 2012-2013 which was better than the new one of "DarkOrbit Reloaded".. in my opinion the actual JPA is better, just BP is trying to find ideas for the ppl that is sharing/selling accounts and bugusing in the JPA, not bring old stuff, in that case better bring the old client too...

 

I hate old jackpot battle. It was the worse. This 1v1 JPA is amazing, it encourages true competition. Once they fix all the issues that were happening before, it is really good.

 

Yes thats what im trying to say, also the servers dont have the enought people like before for like doing it about many maps in diferent servers so thats would be really bored for just 1,000/3,000 users they is that the amount of users always in a JPA, and the Actual JPA is quick and nice. Like you said, Once they fix all the issues that were happening before, it's enough.

 

I don't think this is a hard problem to fix at all.

It's really simple, if they break the rules the account get blocked from entering JPA. Then the reward is given to second place or third palce and so on to it get to the person that did not cheat or break any rules.

 

Me with you.

 

I just have a question, is darkorbit even going to return the jpa, because there are no announcements about it and it seems like they aren't doing anything about it....at least keep us updated or something

 

We're still reading this thread and we're still discussing potential changes and their priority versus other features & content.

We haven't forgotten about it, but we're also not at a point that we can discuss potential changes or next steps.

We appreciate your patience and the feedback you're providing.

Thanks!

 

Hello Rick,

Because we dont benefit from JP Euro at the moment is there any point in having them in boxeS?

i mean i have 10k and have been playing for a few years, it's highly unlikely im going to win JPA as i never enter it, surely we should be able to benefit in someway by collecting it...

 

This has been mentioned a few times by folks. We need to look at getting the boxes updated. I'll follow up on that right now.

 

Fantastic,

thank you very much for both replies!
