There will also be a special window for this event and the new point system.


There will be ~40 quests for this event:

Spoiler: quest text

This is the News!

Pilot! I’ve been helping establish a broadcast center for the UNN on the rim, outside any factions influence. I can broadcast the truth from here and use my superior skills in data mining to uncover the facts about current events. A number of secrets are hidden in the past that I’d like you to investigate.


Elementary Achievement

Since I last talked to you, I’ve been working hard with the systems here, getting my hands dirty. The technology here on the rim is fairly elementary, but with the right team about you we’ve achieved some major wins. More chat later, pilot, I think the Streuner may be involved. So target them and we’ll see what happens!


We Live in your Nightmares

The elimination of M.A.S.Q.U.E. isn’t the only instance of strange things happening. That symbol, “We live in your nightmares!” Something far more sinister is going on, with facilities on the Rim wiped out in a similar fashion. In the meantime, locate where these Gygerthralls are coming from.


Nomadic Nonsense

The Gygerthralls simply shouldn’t have returned, they are a nomadic species and after last year’s events they should have moved on to another part of the cosmos. Someone is directing them here, is deliberately targeting humanity. We need to wipe as many out before we have another plague on our hands.


Chessboard

They simply seem to keep coming. It’s almost like a great hand has come and changed the balance of the galaxy, pushing the pawns across the chessboard so that humanity becomes the target. Until I get some further information, all we can do is target those Gygerthralls and hope for more information.


Past and Present

I’m starting to piece things together, based on the data I’m receiving from you and other pilots. I’m now wondering if the mysterious figure in last year’s plague was the enemy we face now. Testing our resolve. You need to help by dealing with a Boss Streuner. Please help.


Rumor Mill

Something powerful enough to infect the Kristallin is a serious threat. They are one of the older species in the galaxy and shouldn’t be able to be infected by a plague that effects organics. I need you to help the tougher pilots investigate by tracking down more Gygerthralls.


Vague Plague

Your help has been excellent but we can find no signs of infection in the Plagued Kristallin. While other pilots investigate can you stop old enemies taking advantage back here. Please take on some of the Moredun who are ravaging our space.


Wipeout

This problem seems to be spreading and we’re now receiving reports from other sectors. Concerning reports about other aliens struck down with this purple aura and starting to act against type. I need as many of the Streuner and Moredun wiped out before they are infected.


Hidden Enemy

It’s clear to me that the Kristallin and Gygerthralls are simply the tip of a bigger iceberg. I read reports of Indoctrine Oil being found during the Hatching Out crisis and I’m wondering if this might be happening here too? Let's keep stopping the Moredun and Streuner so no infection happens here.


Cover up

I’m starting to wonder if this is a cover up by one of the factions. I’m not sure how they could have the power to affect the Kristallin, but I’ve heard rumors that a group of humans once managed to do this. Now some Sibelon seem to be acting strangely in this area of space too. Please stop them.


No Faction Here

It's clear this is not a faction issue. They usually leave some obvious calling card on their pieces of work. This means that something else is causing the problems and I need to know what. Please do a sensor sweep of X-4, to check the threat isn't coming to Earth.


Hybrid Function

Something inside the Gygerthrall is processing the Kristallon into this Hybrid Alloy, or possibly the Hybrid Alloy itself was the thing that made the Kristallon susceptible to this strange aphasia that seems to be affecting them. I need to know if Sibelon are affected, please find out.


Disruptive Purpose

It appears this new enemy knows exactly how to disrupt our operations, causing significant dangers for all humans. I’m concerned this is simply a distraction, but their knowledge of our operations tell me they’ve been watching us for a while. Know our ways. Perhaps its the Moredun, tackle one of their bosses.


Being the Cure

You're doing excellent work and allowing the elite forces to investigate the Quarantine Zone, a strange place where aliens are being adapted to enraged killing machines. Please keep tackling Boss Moredun, to ensure they don't take advanatge of the situation.


Processing Power

I'm concerned that the real enemy is manipulating our forces so that the enemies closer to home can try and get advanatge. If you can do some damage to Boss Sibelon then we may be able to stop them using our diffuse forces to come to war. Will you help.


Three Years

I’ve been analyzing a lot of old reports and can tell you these attacks have been happening on the very fringes of human space for three years at least. Perhaps the remnants of the enemies you killed left some trace of the enemy. Collect Bonus Boxes in that area to find out.


A Slither of Evidence

Perhaps that investigation left a slither of evidence, something about the Quarantine Zone itself is unnatural. I need you to go and challenge all the bosses you can find. To see if attacking them can cause a reaction which will help me understand more.


Team Up

Although the Sibelon are not the main threat here it is you rear gunners, protecting Earth itself, who are providing a line fo defence against this enemy. I cannot thank you enough and ask you go and stop the Sibelon, before they get ideas. Meanwhile I will collate with HULL.


Reaping the Rewards

That seemed to work well. The Sibelon are being driven back from thoughts of a larger attack. If you can keep driving back their leaders then we should be able to get even more valuable data from the Quaratine Zone in the depths of space. You're one true hero, pilot!

Also OP32 posted an image of how could be used the legacy of the old rank system if they do the servers merge:



(for the moment it's just at the development state so all can be changed at any moment)

 

The Boss of Quarantine Zone has Egg Drones XD

 

Some new things from the french forum


Background of the new gg

Some of the new aliens in it



There were some other things but i dont inderstand french and couldnt translate it

 

Pretty sure its a group gate . But...If the maps look dead why would you add a gate that everyone will be in the whole event completely clearing the maps? Why merge servers instead of fixing the game, adding content that doesnt stink, and drawing everyone back in?
Why Why Why
Even through all this turmoil Do hasnt folded up like a cheap tent. Why? The concept is good, and fun. If the game gets the plug pulled it will be for one reason only.
Mismanagement.

And someone with brains will make a copycat and earn a fortune.

 

Hello,

Just registered on the forum to say couple of good words to all of you who contribute to this thread! I find your contribution amazing, and also very important for the whole DO community. Thank you all for using your free time to share with us the news about the game, its development and future releases.

I have been keeping an eye on this thread for years, almost from the first day when the thread was officially started. I am always happy to read about new posts, new features and events in the game, even before they are publicly announced by the DO team.

Thank you again for your contribution, have an amazing evening!

@eTeRn!tY

Can the infection be stopped?

Welcome, dont know french so glad you can translate some of the things

 

As you guys probably know based on the posts above the April event will contain a new group gate. The event itself should be arriving around mid-April.

Thought I would give you a quick teaser image of what it looks like inside.



It's a pretty tough gate, the end Boss is without a doubt the hardest NPC in the game.

It won't surprise me if a lot of players have trouble on their first attempt of the boss before they understand the correct tactics for beating it.



This is going to be the last 'new' event we do for a while. If you haven't already then I suggest you havea read over the OA - Important changes in development cycle for Darkorbit

However during the time when we refocus our time and efforts on server merges and all the changes that need to be in place to make it a success, we still intend to have events going on.

So we would like to put on old events, one example is Pirate Hunt. Some of these events are many years old, so to some of you I'm sure they will seem new.

The rewards of the older events will likely be looked over to make them more lucrative for today's game, e.g rewards in Pirate Hunt could contain LF-4 enhancement resources or Hyperplasmoid lasers for the people who rank highest.


That's a small window into the feel of the Quarantine Zone and our plans for the next several months of the game overall.

I know its not very full on detail, as time goes on we will release more info and ask for player feedback on several aspects, since the act of server merges and looking at leaderboards and so on is a very big step for the game to be taking.

I hope you guys are as excited for the change in direction as we are

-OP32

 

I like that they are thinking of some changes they are needed some sooner some not that soon but indeed.
I have one "specific question i have seen this post on the german forum

Is this the name of the new event going to be live or some other thing?

 

from discord teasers

Hello Guys!
You will receive Easter gift soon:

Happy Easter Gift!
Easter login bonus and more!

The DarkOrbit team would like to wish every pilot a happy Easter weekend! To thank you for your support, we have set up a login bonus that was booked as soon as you signed in.

The package consists of 1 week of premium membership, 500 ACM Mines, and 5,000 Xenomit. On top of this, we have activated a one-time payment discount code for 15% off one purchase. Use the code [removed] at checkout to take advantage.

Login bonus and Discount code valid from 13.04 – 17.04

• Discount Code [removed]

Happy gaming!!
Your DarkOrbit Team
​

Anyway, the code is already available in the system.

 

And nothing happened when i used the code lol

 

it even says valid from 13.4, today is the 11th

 

According to the stream today, it should last until you use it. It's a one-time deal, so you pop in the code and then you have one purchase to use it on (& they advised it stacks with premium).

There's theoretically an expiration on when the discount won't work if you were to not use it for some reason, but it shouldn't be for a *long* time

 

Hello Guys!
Adding yesterday the background code, new event:

• Pirate Hunt 2017

No have texts.

Have a nice weekend!

 

Well, by the name of the event, might be damn interesting.
