[SC] RIP OFF

so if it makes no difference, it makes no difference to price, they could be a lot cheaper in respect to things that give you an advantage.

 

As Okapi said "If cosmetic only items meet that requirement then great, they managed to get a way to make money without further increasing the gap between paying and free players."

Then I don't care how much cosmetics cost and hopefully as much as the market will bear.

 

If they sold them very cheaply, then they wouldn't make any money off of it.

It's incredible how people keep complaining about DO no matter what they do, even when they try to make the game less pay2win by selling cosmetics so they don't have to sell power.

 

you dumb bro most people cant aford the cosmetic stuff which is the point of the post which i agree

you dumb bro lol

 

bd33, I posted the OP before posting your statement so I could refresh my memory of what was said. Okay so D O wants to "PUSH EXPENSIVE RUBBISH" who exactly does this hurt only D O, I want to know how COSMETIC DESIGNS are "PUSHING PLAYERS OUT OF GAME" so yes the credit players are left out and feel unimportant but they are not being hurt by not getting these cosmetic designs.

So are these Events anything to write home to MOMMA about NO they are not, is the community enjoying the Events presented NO, are people being attacked because of these events NOT ANY MORE THAN USUAL, is D O making any money off these Events WHY DO WE CARE.

I am a F2P player and have not participated in any of the events run since the ADVENT calendar of January ran out. The Event Missions have been STUPID or mis-written and just not worth the time and effort to do for the rewards given. But again how is this hurting anyone, that is right people are bored as they can not find the targets they want while HUNTING (which has nothing to do with the Event) NEW players want to do the stupid missions and see they are unable to (oh well they don't have to do as no one else is either). Are these Events anything to make the majority of the community happy NO, but then we did not usually have events every month either (we had a Spring Break Event, a Summer Event, Holiday Weekend Events {usually just Special Bonus Boxes}, and Birthday Event) now we have LAME Events every month for 2 weeks of the month and we have people upset because the KEY attraction is TOO EXPENSIVE.

Why can't you accept what you get, BUY if you want to, participate if you want to, or just play the game as you would have if the Event was not here. I do not understand why we have to insult each other, why "you dumb bro" is an acceptable post to a thread, so only the VANE will want to buy the added item of the Event is it any skin of your chin that you do not want to reach in your wallet to buy the Uridium on MHH to buy the darn thing ($30 usd for MHH uridium to buy one or $17 usd for a set or individual CASH), I might agree the price was not thought out properly but who am I to tell D O what to charge for their effort.

This whole thread has been rubbish, the Event stunk so what. The price for the Designs were out of whack, who did it hurt (not me). Did the game benefit from the Event, who cares. Did it entice me back into the maps, NO. But to say it chased me away from the game it did not, I still transfer my SkyLab and gain my credits to bid on stuff in the AUCTION, increasing my ships defensive stature.

SO now that I am done rambling (sorry for that) enjoy your game the way you want to enjoy it, and participate in the Events you want to but remember most of these threads are not even brought to the Dev's attention because they just don't care.

 

well if okapi said then whooa, we must believe the forum regular NOT.

 

got half way throught this and started snoozing off., another long winded invalid excuse.

 

Don't act like a child.

If you do not have the capacity to read long responses and get upset when people don't just agree with you then maybe you shouldn't be posting in the forum for discussion.
Maybe you should start a blog and turn off comments section if you cannot handle people disagreeing with you.

 

Boring

 

HelpMeHelpYou im not even going to read all the rubbish. and Okapi32 ЌΦŊVΣŊŦIΦŊ.† said got half way through reading... well i not even going to read that long winder stuff i agree with what HelpMeHelpYou said but clearly every one getting heated over the fact Darkorbit is a failing game with dev's making stupid decisions which has resulted in players beinf so (beep) off with continued crap game play

for example they give us 2 weeks premium and boosters.... person has got the said boosters they promised "shield,damage,hit" once again total waist of time playing a game that is so poorly managed.... i could go on but why bother

 

This is true. There are a lot of games that sell cosmetic items. But those game don't sell items that increase your power over other player, and if they do they price isn't so far out of reach that people can't afford it.

 

Thank you for the support.

So you prefer having the thread SPAMMED with one liners.

 

Well bully for your! But it take years for someone who isn't a wallet to get to FE must less UFE. I'm glad it's easy for you to make Uri but that doesn't really help the rest of us does it.

 

My point was talking about UFE and how the cosmetics are probably aimed at them ... I know its not easy for people without good equipment to make uri. I specifically said that making uri was easy for UFE, therefore they are less likely to buy uri and that's why cosmetics are going to be aimed that them.

What's you point here? Taking my post out of context and stating the obvious?

 

The point of this thread, as I understand it. Is that UFE get all the breaks and credit players don't. Ok the statement made that cosmetic items drive players away is baseless and unfounded. However, the power gap is one of the problems. If UFE can get URI so easy then DO is "Smart" to try and reach that market. But in so doing everyone else is left out in the cold.

Like was stated earlier, there are game that sell cosmetic items only and they do make quite a bit of money doing so. But the items in these same games that improve someone hitting power is available to everyone if they do the required tasks.

As of right now every bit of uri I get from killing NPC's goes to upgrades and spinning to build gates. I am somewhere between FE and UFE. But closer to FE. It will take me years unless something changes to reach UFE.

 

Maybe you should try reading the whole discussion that lead up to my post that you quoted then. We were talking about why the cosmetics were made and who they were aimed at.

As a thread goes on the discussion can change from the OP but it is still centered around the same subject.

I never once said that making uridium was easy for non-UFE or that the game wasn't expensive. In fact in my other posts is explicitly stated the game was expensive enough without people encouraging them to add in more items with increase power.

 

I see your point. I personally try to stick to the topic of the thread and try to avoid the temptation to divert the subject.

 

Making FE is very easy I have all the Equipment needed to FE 3 ships (Leonov, Vengeance, and Goliath) in less than 6 months not spending a dime with the account. The UFE is where the time and MONEY come into play, you either farm the heck out of G G's or BUY the heck out of Booty Keys or do both.

The whole point is D O has to GENERATE Revenue and having these VANITY items so expensive is their method of making up for the loss of revenue, as Okapi32 said, since the UFE is not spending as much since there is nothing for them to have to buy with the Uridium they collect from within the game. D O has lost there most precious revenue stream by not making the game appealing to the NEW player and the leap from FE to UFE so difficult for the F2P player (eventually even they open their wallets for something even if just Premium).

 

Long or short replies who really cares. If they are on target to what the thread is talking about why do you have to go on a tangent over it. HelpMeHelpYou may be long winded but then there is something called skimming if you see something that catches your eye for a deeper read then read it otherwise skip it but to have several posts about a single reply seems like a waste.

I actually prefer to get people to give explanations of how they interpret things. The VANITY DESIGNS are expensive, they are designed to make people WHO WANT THEM reach in their pocket and buy them (D O is a for PROFIT company) whether with hard work in the game collecting the Uridium or paying CASH out of pocket.

Explain to me how it is a ripoff if it gives no benefit to the user (except visual) it is not required to play in the game, and is only used to make yourself stand out in the crowd?

 

FE is easier, but UFE is another matter.
