[SC] UNOFFICIAL: DarkOrbit Revealed Archive

Dark orbit is moving in the right direction with these new micro transaction features, cosmetics items and the crafting system. Encouraging new players into the game so the maps are not half empty all time is a priority over "end game" objectives. The majority of players are not UFE with full bios and 100s of LF4S, therefore bigpoint must cater for these casual players (and creating a larger player base) before developing new maps, missions, NPC's ect for the UFE community. It was the introduction of the lf4s and havocs that killed off so many players and many did not wish to spend £££ and 100s of hours getting to UFE. As the majority of players are causal players that can not compete with the UFE's.

The introduction of new ships allows for players to adapt there playing style to certain situations, Ie PVP, grinding NPC's or boxing ect. As long as they don't cost vast sums of uri then I have no issue what so ever with them. The cosmetic items can not do any harm to the game balance and over all game play and will at allow player just to create a unique look and feel to their ship. The new crafting system will also allow player to save uri for gates, booty keys ect and progress in game. The auction system will still be the fastest way to get LF3's full iris and gain the FE status so its more geared towards the everyday players then those just starting or those with full LF4'S. I think its great addition to the game and with the Dev team working on cross server maps, games ect dark orbit will gain new players and keep the "old guard" players happy as well.

Just because some players want an even bigger advantage over other players or don't want the playing field to be levelled a bit, does not mean that this is whats best for the game or what the rest of the player base want. If you have ideas for new maps, NPC's ect for those with nothing to do in the "end game" then please post in the new ideas section. Instead of pointless raving here.

 

well as u was posting about comic stuff as u was moaning about which has been out 4 a while now and the next update has comic stuff in it thats where i was coming from but its has always been about paying and not thinking of the noobs when an update comes out that helps both u moan play another game as u seem to not happy with anything unless it benefits u

 

Well said, @Okapi32. Someone had to say that words so people understand that cosmetics are not bad.

At the end of the day, no one is forced to buy the cosmetics (although most players I see on map already have cosmetics).

Micro transactions (like the cosmetics) are good for the *health* of the game. So, don't be harsh on DO for creating cosmetics, because on the first place players asked for them.

 

anyone know whee to buy the res for assemble?

 

I dont think they put them in shop yet...they were supposed to put 2 of them in shop I do believe, but maybe they meant for them to be in shop when the release event is over.

 

Sorry for off-topic: has sb seen the "craft-able" LF4 or Zeta part?

 

you wish they will ever add craftable lf4 lol!

 

These will be recipes that have to be found in the maps and will be a "special" one off recipe possibly from Event Missions, if they add them at all.

 

I have read this in the FaQ, so...your wish is canceled

 

you miss read lol , i can guarantee that there was nothing about havoc/zeta/lf4 in the Assembly FAQ in the last 3-4 days , prove me wrong...

something that was , is the materials that are not available in shop >.>

 

LOL, you are right, only in the German forum is something about Zeta and LF4...

 

for some reason i would have been tempted to bellive the german forum more since they are the developers of this game but meh , apparently DO forum guys should stop revealing infos since most of the time they are wrong

 

It seems when stuff is transferred from the German forums to the English forums there is a mix up. I do not know if the Mods for the Germans are running on Speculation or what, but I know the English Mods do not like being BURNED by Speculation and carry a wait and see attitude, unless it is in an official announcement to them from the company, before posting the information here. I prefer to get the information sooner instead of later, but I do like the fact that the information we get is usually correct to start with instead of having to be retracted (Double Rewards FAQ being the first retracted/edited item to be seen in a long time) and that was not the Mods fault but the information given to them was incomplete.

 

Hey @Okapi32,
Sorry that I will go off-topic.. These assembly resources that drop, are meant to drop instead of cargo? I have been playing for a while after the Assembly update, and noticed that when assembly resources drop there is no cargo drop. Is this meant to be on this way? I had no chance to test on test severs, so have no idea, and the FAQ doesn't state anything about this.

 

CORRECTION! They changed the information about the crafting system/LF4 in the German forum, there's no LF4 or Zeta part, it wasn't a bug.

But sometimes they tell some really interesting changes in the German forum. I remember the the epic moment, when a (German?) employee from "Team Darkorbit" appeared, added therein negative critism (as a employee?!) and announced the additional "Tunnel of Terror" gate rewards. Next time I will mark this the "facts" of the German forum.

I'm not Okapi, but it's ok, if I tell you an answer, shouldn't I? Yes, the new resources replaces the cargo (and there's no booty chest and the new resource from 1 NPC at the same time, if you will want to ask^^)

LoL, your picture.^^

 

Of course you can answer. I just said sorry to @Okapi32 for going off topic. That question was not only addressed to him, but to anyone that will read it. Thanks for the answer.

Yeah.. Don't play it, but like this icon.

 

Yes it seems the CREDIT farmers that need the CARGO have another useless item to take their credits from them. First it was Green Booty Chests, then they added the Red and Blue Booty Chests, now they add this garbage resource that you can not collect because it disappears before you can recover from the LAG created by the new update. So on an Ultra Booty Day you have a 10% chance you will get an actual Cargo Drop from a Boss Kristallon that you killed because you had to collect 300 Promerium for a mission.

They say this update is going to help the NEW player and all I see it doing is frustrating more people than it helps. New players won't benefit till after level 12 if even then.

 

Well, honestly, I don't have problems to get assembly resources instead of cargo, and not both at the same time. Gaining both at the same time may be too much
