[UI] elite players abusing functions

So a few months back, there were some people complaining about players abusing bugs in LoW gate that allowed them to push rank on themselves.

I would also like to point out that there are also players of very high rank that war their own company for no reason. Whether or not this is their intention, it does push more rank on them and makes their rank higher than it should be.

In my mind, killing players that are so much weaker than you that they can't even have a chance to fight back is cowardly, and it means nothing. It also causes those players to not want to play the game anymore. I know what you're going to say to this -- that the solution is to leave the clan, but this is no solution because so people play with friends and family and do not want to leave their clan just because they are being stomped on.

What Darkorbit needs to do is force the three companies to work together. If a clan's affiliation is MMO, they should not be able to have allegiances to to VRU or EIC, and vice versa. I am for keeping the company affiliation set to all, but darkorbit should have a requirement of having a balanced number of company members for those.

So when are we going to have a fair game for everyone?

 

pvp game.

 

Hello meatpill-Warlord,

As bob_splendy has stated this is a part of a PvP game, how users decide to set their diplomacy status is up to them. We understand your frustration regarding Multi-Company clans etc and we want to let you know that this issue has been brought up in the recent Dark Orbit Twitch#10 session at 39:38. Battle for the Influence Event was mentioned and there was a hint of a change or fix that is on the table but not on the list of upcoming events.

We hope this answers your concern.

 

Someone in your clan accepted 'WAR', so it is on the playa who mentioned sure Now everyone has to deal with this drama

There is a huge chasm between PvE and PvP - I won't go into details, but it is annoying That's why there is flight instead of fight

 

There is no choice to accept or decline a war. When war is sent that's it your at war for 10 days unless there is an "end war" sent and accepted.

Now it is good idea to utilize your friends / alliances to yours and their benefit have them help defend your clan.

All in all this is a PVP game.

I agree with the OP, the bullies in this game need a good swift kick in the ****S.

So really, it sounds like an approved 'pushing' method.

 

Since 2009 when I started playing this game the strong preyed on the weak. Unfortunately this is a PVP game and they are not breaking any rules. Yes only chumps hunt players that cant possibly defend themselves but this game imitates real life in that aspect.

 

Weren't we all at one point the little minow in an ocean filled with sharks rofl. I mean they have done alot to make building up defenses for a ship easier and quicker, and at least on a few servers there aren't as many hunting parties out in the maps as there use to be

It is PvP, and there are fast ships that you can get (in auction for free players) to run away from the sharks until your big enough to fight back.

i read a quote somewhere describing EvE Online. it goes something like, " EvE online is a sandbox for Sociopaths " . You can pretty much say DO is pretty much the same. Thus endeth the sermon

 

been in this game off and on almost since the beginning, a year or two late for the grand opening, all have said it very well, this is a PVP game, sandbox for sociopaths, haha yep kinda fits. as for multi company clans, i believe this to be a direct result of the falling population of the server (probably the biggest mistake Bigpoint made is making Facebook Uridium Warriors a version of their own and not bring these players directly into the game). the multi company clan has always been an option as far back as i can recall, but was rarely used because there were plenty of recruits flying around. they are here to stay. If ya dont like a m-clan then WAR it. LOL. find a populated server to play on youll soon relearn the meaning of "a beat down". HAHAHA wars would break out over cargo boxes and standing in line WAITING to get into a TDM match or go into an invasion gate.

 

There is always a farmer that comes here and try to play Dark orbit and just complain in stead of realalizing that this is not a farming game they cry and cry how this is not good and this is bad for the game.....all they need to do is go back and play Farmville and leave the more difficult games to gamers.

 

The reason they are sending wars to their own company is because their company clans have other company players in them so if that clan is protecting their other company players against your own company members the only way to kill them and not loose honor is to send war. Enjoy

 

Well that is (can't say) if you are sent WAR...I am in a clan - have privileges, but I don't run it/touch a thing - they can vouch better than I can because of TS. So, I just let it be...DO needs to take a look at this. BSG - you know ...can't shoot your own Co. no matter what Now DO needs to steal this playbook <--. Company protectors/players will come back instead of traitors running amok. Somebody read this and tell the DO in Discord for me - Thanks. This German Time Zone (CEST) keeps throwing me off.

 

CEST is +2 UTC and USA East is -5 so it should be 8 hours earlier than posted. On the West Coast (-8 UTC) it is aired @ 0800 Wednesdays.

Yeah - I have done this multiple times for test server times, but still get confused after the umpteenth time. I live a MPH World while the Whole World runs on KPH. The Olympics is the same with all their stats in metric - Oh well

 

I sent information to D.O. over a year ago about this subject. I let it be known that if they do nothing to protect the lower level players this game it will soon be dead. I have known lots of lower levels that just stopped playing due to this. They can not have a chance to build a ship with their on company killing them or the multi company clan coming in to help .
If you are clanless they just get their other company members to come shoot first and then no - Honor. I know its a PVP and it does not bother me but to grow the members playing that stick around to have move on this server something had to be done.

Now look at this server, just like I said was going to happen " Its a dead server " ..

 

It is indeed true, it is a pvp game, but what does it mean when all somebody can kill is somebody weaker than them? Why is the EP gain and honor gain the same for all kills?

It's not a pvp game when you don't have a chance to fight back. There are people who put money into this game (sociopaths, as someone said), and play for "rank". But like I said, how is it real rank when all you can do is bully people weaker than you?

 

honor n ep are not the same, there is a system to discourage bully boy tactics, a few kills your unlucky or noob enough to get killed by the same pilot, more than that and the system starts reducing rewards to discourage your attacker, although i will agree that the current anti-bully system does need to be tweaked a little.

 

yes, you kill a pilot 5 times and it starts reducing the amount of ep and honor you get, but then it resets the next day

 

ORRRR its because some servers are dead and they war their company cuz there's no enemies to kill regularly. *cough cough MERGE SERVERS
