[SC] GB1 Player dissatisfied

Bigpoint robbing us guys open your eyes ! this is not the game what we all used to play back in the days ,The game what all of us would play for fun , Now is Pay to play only !! Baracuss i know you can see this cause you got eyes everywhere (moderators). Listen here what i have to say yea this is only a feedback coming as well with a quitting game notice . RSB in Assembly where is it ? you lost money putting rsb in Assembly isn't it ? why the h3ll did you took off the doubles x4 on the gates ? why ? Give me a good reason why ?
That's the reason you lost your players , cause you got poor players and rich players . And that is the reason you got 60 Servers empty and now you will have 20 servers full with rich players probabbly you are pround now but the poor people are not .
What about Jackpot Arena you couldn't fix the Bugs and you closed it , nice very nice .
250 Uber Protegites to do in the new quest lvl 22 in the Cube Graveyard do you know how many times did i tryied to get in that cube graveyard ? 180 times then i gave up . You need to do something about that . And in General the other quests yea like the 10 k Ships Destroyed for what 1 mil X4 . Do you think guys i will use only 1 mil x4 in this quest ?
what about rsb ?what about Emps ?? i just used 400 emps , arround 500 instas and arround 200 Smart bombs to get only 400 players killed almost all UFE in R -Zone . this is mad . If you stay and think what this game is offering me during this days , you realise you don't get nothing . Only spend money on Uri top up 1,3 Mil on Helix bang 90 £ premium, rebate not going to put this on . But still is alot !
Why are the upgrades so expensive ?? Again 45 Lf-4 = 3.150.000 mil uri for lasers
20 shields = 1.400.000 mil uri for shields
And what is with this non-sense stuff in this bootys red ,blue,black ,apocalypse same thing different color , loads of money spent for nothing .
Battle For Influence [REMOVED]
Another feedback for bigpoint you should put Spaceball into R-zone with some good stuff in the cargo , but is not a point to do that if is still going to be lag . ( i can do mention i have a very good pc and very good internet conection )

What is Capture the Beacon still doing in the events ? nobody is doing it cause they are not good rewards for it give people chances to earn the new Lf-4's . and they are bunch off stuff what needs to be sorted .

What about the Botters what they are circling in the maps ? nothing Gb1 botters still alive since day 1 when this new BOT camed Out .

I do have more things to put in here but i want to see the what the players they will say about it . And i wish some mods to see this and Comment as well in here .
I do have to say i'm not english , so sorry for my bad english .

No accusations, -Deter.

 

agree agree agree well written my friend they dont give too hoots about us its money money money

 

x2 x4 ammo on gates was a bug, it was never intended to work that way.

 

so why was allowed almost 1 year with x2 x4 doubles ?

 

Hello ŠΞXY•ŁOЯĐ•σƒ•ZΞЯØ™,

Just want to clarify a few things before a Community member see's this. Have removed your "accusations" to prevent flaming.

This is up to the Developers, Dark Orbit Team and Support to decide if they wish to add it to the assembly queue. They have their reasons whether it be for us to have a little surprise or to help out users in time of need. They do have to make sure they do not introduce or make something readily available that may disrupt their analysis of the servers.

As stated above, it was NOT intended for both Uridium and X4(UCB-100) ammo to be doubled during Double Galaxy Gate rewards. It was a bug and has since been fixed.

They did state in one of their recent Twitch streams that is a Free-to-Play game, unfortunately like most free to play games you are able to Pay for things and advance or be better equipped. Ultimately it still is a free-to-play game, more "free" than other games, but they as a company do need to have an income to survive.

Not bugs, Cheaters. One of the main attractions of the Game was Win 10,000 USD/Euros. This is real money and they can not be rewarding the winner who unlawfully participated in the event. As it occurred numerous times the event was then canceled and we now have UBA and Refractions.

The new quests are awesome! We believe they are meant to be challenging and we do not expect some one to bash these immediately(unless they want to ). As said, I personally believe these quests were for those UFE or long time players to do something in the Orbit, have something for us to look forward to after completing such long quests.

This is not the appropriate place to discuss this as we here on the forums have a Bots&Cheats thread.

This thread as with other will be moderated.

 

Deter if you started to give me some answers , do them properly , don't pick up what you like, give answers to everything what i wrote in there . Still have some ideas how this jackpot could work . For me to be honest that was the main reason to start and play this game . And yes the Jackpot could work if the players decide to participate for the jackpot battle they could easyly can be supervised face to face by a darkorbit referee. How easy they spent money on uri they can easy spent money on a flight ticket to germany let's say to participate for jackpot battle . Please don't tell me Bigpoint needs to survive cause i can tell you straight away 5 people who put on their accounts 7-8 mil uri every month . Challange you say for the new quests ? 1 mil x4 reward ? did you read what i put in there ? sorry i didn't put the ammount of x4 what i used to kill 400 players that was arround 600 k . thank for reply

 

Hello,

I'm not sure how you think it might be feasible for a company to essentially fly thousands of players to one location (or even several) for a Jackpot battle. Even if you fly, say, the last two pilots in a tournament you still have to look at whether or not they cheated to get that far. Jackpot was ruined by people cheating to win the event, whether it be by abusing exploits, using programs, account sharing, etc. If Jackpot was so important to those players, then they should not have cheated and ruined the event for everyone. No one wants cheaters to take the prize, and when winnings kept being negated because of cheaters taking the crown time and again, clearly the prize was compromising the integrity of an event to the point of no return.

Deter covered quite a bit of what you started with, so I'll spare repeating it. ^^ I will add on tho.

Bigpoint is still a business, so free to play or not, they still have to make money. Yes, there are players who still buy regularly, and they are entitled to do so. If they didn't, there might not be a game at all for free players to enjoy; and without free players the pool for the paying players to play with would be even more slim. Players who spend money and those who don't are both vital to the game, and important to it's continuation. Without one another I do not think this game would be what we have come to know it, and it may not have had the longevity which continues on with each day.

In any case, it takes quite a bit of money to maintain the game, the servers, pay for whatever may be outsourced, pay the development team and everyone else involved with DarkOrbit, pay to develop new features, pay to obtain new equipment or software to continue development, etc.

No one is saying everything might be the ideal that any pilot may be looking for; some want to see what the legacy of the Jackpot will ultimately become (even if it is never returned the way that we have known it in the past), many look forward to seeing game performance improve, balancing and addressing server populations, and the issue of cheating changing course. As far as cheats go, I'll just quote a recent post from OP: "I know it looks very weak at this point saying 'oh we're working on the bot issue, we promise' but truly we are, we won't talk openly about progress until the day the action happens." Beyond that, as Deter said, we do have a thread for that particular subject.

There are things to improved, yes. Will some things satisfy everyone? No, but that is the nature of things. The team are working on a number of matters for the game, and from the sounds of it, they hope to tackle quite a few concerns that come up throughout the community. So to that,we will have to let time show us what the future holds for DarkOrbit, and for all of the pilots who have helped make the game what it means to so many past, present, and hopefully, future.

Regards,

 

I don't know what are you speak about guys but this game never been free. Back in old days 2011 I been spend 400k uridium on weekly base for emp and rsb, today I spend even less couse there is not much bot to kill or players who been bot and wanna fight with me, overall like 80% less PVP fight than used to be. You speek about bulling FE, I remember when I had LF2 and been destroyed by LF3 because you been doing 1 alpha whats 20k x4 few hours because there was no PET, no moth formation, lower dmg overall.


Right now game is more than fine, just few events need to be fixed,
Spaceball for example make a huge EMP bubble around portals so you can't come on portal in cloack and just colect cargo.

Capture the Beacon must some reward on delivery what is wurth to risk fly over 2 enemy maps.


Cubikon graveyard quest
12 alpha, 6 beta, 3 gamma = 360k x4 = over 12h of play
75k rsb = 262,500 ur with rabat and premium
10k ee if you spin in abg you get around 600k uridium

even if you try jump 12h its wurth compared to x4 u get from reward not mention cca 800k uridium in EE and RSB.
People spend 1 cpu and say nah it don't work, I beed just over 400 times to get there. Open yourself movie in corner of screen, pin it on top watch it and jump, you will watch movie u like and jumping will be just bonus task since you don't need fight and will not be attacked so its easy to do it.


10k ships quest
I remember we used to have 1k ships for quest and 10k ships for achivement. This 10k ships quest you should't finish tomorrow its quest what will reward you as bonus after months of playing, instead of just kill people on the end you will get something.

Pirates
Pirates are big but you should get group of 8 people, take all 3 quests and go in 5-2 on few days, its going fast. Split up around in group of 4+4 or 2+2+2+2 shoot saboter and ahnilator use kamikaze on interceptor.
17500 saboteur - 325k ur
10500 annhilator - 325k ur
65000 interceptor - 150k ur
So each of you must kill 2187,5 saboteur, 1312,5 annhilator, 8125 interceptor;
uridium reward from npc is 346250+325k+325k+150k=1.146.250ur for 2.234.375.000 dmg you do whats 1950 dmg for 1 uridium.
Keep in mind that on cubikon you must do 2.734 dmg for 1 uridium, on kristallon is 5468 dmg for 1 uridium.
Overall this 3 quests if you do with 8 people is amazing actually and really wurth your time and ammo, actually you must do even less dmg with laser because you do a lot of dmg with kamikaze since it hit multiple npc.

Cubikon/protegits
Quest with protegits is 1 days of crazy cubikon.
Cubikon is kind a tricky beacuse cubikon have spawn time of around 5min after being destroyed whats 60/h on 1 map so you need shoot them 58hours to finish what is kind a lot.


I have high hope for new team and I'm sure if they keep doing like doing now will make this game great again, not as we used to know back in 2010 but will good to play.

 

21.07.2017 - 22:11

You destroyed the space pilot: OPTIMUS†PRIMΞ (EIC) is this you ? I'm going to wait for more players to give a review of what i said in here and i will reply to everything !

 

No, same nick as on forum, ge5.

 

Because Do is slow fixing bugs, just look at how spartan drones are bugged since their introdution on the game, or how the vru ranks on global america 1 server are bugged, or how when sometimes u restart the game, u cant even see the aliens or ships, and u have to restart again....

And there are a lot of buggs out here for long time, buggs that are known by the devs, but they are just not fixed....

 

Well spending hundreds of dollars on a game might not sound expensive to you because you're used to it and you have been doing it for years.

When I recently came back, my friend said so casually "Drop 100 on a Helix and get your ship up," that honestly made me shiver because of the fact that I was gone for so long that when I came back, just thinking about spending money here is such a disgusting thought.

Nevertheless, any outsider looking to get into Darkorbit can easily see through the curtain and come to their senses by leaving the game and not spending hundreds every month just for a game that isn't even operable.

Why spend 100 US Dollars for 1M uridium that can only get you to a certain point with a minimal amount of equipment with this game of chance, when instead you can spend 40 US dollars ONCE on Overwatch or Playerunknown's Battlegrounds and have access to every single piece of content GUARANTEED and the only thing you can pay for is OPTIONAL, and its skins that make your character look nicer, nothing else. There is nothing you can buy with real money that can boost your character's performance.

Better yet, play a flagship game like League of Legends that is completely free to play and it requires no money whatsoever, and this game is regarded as THEE greatest MOBA of all time, if not the greatest game of all time.

Why would you play and spend an OBSCENE amount of money on an outdated and broken game when you can play a "flagship" game like Overwatch, H1Z1, LoL, etc. that has developers who actually pay attention to these bugs and their anti-cheat system is so amazing that I can't say I've ever encountered a cheater on one of these games, let alone a game breaking bug that forces me to play something else.

Speaking of GB1, how about those new prices in Britain? Surely increasing them by a whopping 10% will bring in more players huh...

inb4 post deleted.

 

I kind a agree with you, anyway its still better buy rabat every 2 weeks when you colect some uridium to buy ammo and do some hades with friends during weekend when you can get crystal from game to, premium as well, thats like 10€ a month thats still better than go get drunk 1 weekend.

But I agree with you that play component of the game as equipment should be free, that means on start account you should get:
10 havoc
10 hercules
10 spartan
45 lf4
20 bo2
skylab lvl20 instant
8 iris
500 green booty keys
3k log disc so you can put first 24pp to be able fight back
100k uridium
100k x2
50k x3
20k x4
50k sab
All ships you can buy in shop for uridium included.
All this you need to don't be blowed out of map from UFE instant so you actually have chanse to survive but you still need to play to get to 36pilot points what goal for pvp and pve bounty and alien hunter.


I know game is old and payment system work as it was popular long time ago but since they already rework it, plan server merge and client option they should think about different way of playment for income so they can pay salary and next development of game. In other games paying part is cosmetic but you can see its different, this design for ship is color change what is actually sad, if something cool pop up and they give you chanse to buy it for money like lava cyborg 15€ I would probably buy it same day they make it possible couse its not just blue green color they change it, they actually put effort in change it to look kinda different.

Make it avelible for more people to be competitive will expand amound of people who play game and with great cometic changes of design, pet maybe even color of laser which you can buy with real money they might make even more money than now. Of course keep price of premium, double box and rabat as it is now is fine and this shouldn't be changed.

Also there must be way to make more uridium than you can make now, uridium shouldn't be pay component of game to make people interested in game, you should actually put time in and play for it so you can buy ammo for PVP and do gates for rank.

As I said before in some of my posts keep low gate as it is now only make century stronger if more people doing it, so with 8 people you whould split 40k uridium for killing it but it would be also have more hp/shield and hit harder(old version which give 5k uridium multiplied depending how much people doing it).

Or if you shoot npc with friends in group you should get group bonus for npc you kill on normal map, low gate and QZ(don't affect amound of oil and ammo you get as reward only Npc reward) doesn't include hades NPC:
2 in group 50%
3 in group 75%
4 in group 100%
5 in group 125%
6 in group 150%
7 in group 175%
8 in group 200%
That means if 8 people shoot on 1 cubikon it will split reward on 8 thats 128 but because of group bonus you will get 256uridium each of group members.
This should be team game as if you play as a team you get rewarded for it.

 

@Optimus

But thats too beneficial to the noobs friend, just like how they cheap me out of a Hyperplasmoid from the previous calendar that we had because they were afraid one single LF4 would empower the noobs too much.

In addition literally any cosmetic design that is actually decent is insanely difficult to get and too expensive. They put them in these new booty boxes they come out with every other day and its almost impossible to get what you want from this game of chance, and you don't even have a guaranteed chance to get a skin. Literally every game with skins has a guaranteed chance of a skin in a box except for Darkorbit, which is insane considering these designs do NOTHING for the performance of your ship.

Its also funny how all designs are poorly done just in general. The USA Flag design? Guess what the 5% damage STILL doesn't work after a year and its 10 dollars compared to every other flag design that is only 5 dollars.

^ If you told that to an outsider who has never played this game before they would go mad over how insanely bad that is. That is a scam right there.

Where was that sit-down the developers were going to do? When they promised us that they would have an entire day dedicated to fixing bugs. Ever since that announcement the bugs have not been dealt with and only quadrupled in the amount of bugs present.

Speaking of this new bot, lets talk about that for a second and how anyone with this bot can pick up boxes for an entire week, and smash out Hades gates on Sunday and completely leaving any rank competition in the dust, even the people who pay for rank in this game struggle against these bots now because those bots have advanced tremendously.

It comes to a point where you need to know your limits of supporting a game. After coming back for one day from a 4 month absence I can tell you that I just can never take this game seriously anymore because I realized what this game actually is.

 

1st this month calendar was just a bonus, its wasn't planned at all.

2nd bug will happen in every game there is no game without bug.

3rd if bot is scripted good there not much they can do, if random movement and action isn't repeated like range from where shoot, cricle in same direction all time, run to portal when see enemy on minimap is random between 1-3 sec so it actually imitate human behavoir only way to ban them is hack pc of each player to see does he run bot on this account on his pc what is actually ilegal.
U been speak about other games, League of Legends is harder than DO even its for free, you need few months of play to get at lvl30 because masteries and runes are more important than lf4 in DO, in DO only thing u need to survive is have bo2 and ring formation, in LOL lvl30 is must have to able to play, also did you ever try play Co-op vs. all, I tryed one and get 4 bots who run down mid die and if win they get exp actually pushing only important thing in game whats lvl and Riot games don't ban them. What about selling high rank accounts, you lose game couse guy have money and bought higher rated account than is his skill or pay to get boosted on high rank, Riot don't ban them, they can't do it just couse "he had bad game" and you will still lose your LP. Following that you can't say LOL is better than DO. Same thing is as I said before with boosting is with Overwatch, Playerunknown's Battlegrounds washed concept of the game, new version of H1Z1, I don't get it why people play it.

When I start to lose LOL games couse of boosted players I come back to DO and have some fun.

 

I agree with all you have said I played this game from day1 ,it was great fun // then came all the changes and promise after promise .year after year .darkorbit saying we are going to fix it . we are going to make everything better don't worry we will sort everything out .month after month year after year .its always the same thing just out right lies every time ..lets get this strait people have and still are leaving darkorbit because of your lies and you will carry on with them ..sever ,merg will fail ,because in the end nothing will have changed your game is too expensive for a crappy 3d scrolling browser game .. as a free to play game you make me laugh .eve online is now a free to play game an as a free player on there you can compete with long tem players .an if you want to fly the big ships you can make money in game very easy to put 30 days time on your account to fly them or just pay 10 for a month subs or lets say 1 year at less than 70 pound ..oww an by the way that account is never deleted your yours for life ,,,,you only rent darkorbit accounts you don't own them god dam joke after the game is so expensive ...just a bunch of money grabbers do use all a favor and shut all the server down now because you will have too in the end.. do you know I have spoken to thousands yes thousands of game players an every time I bring up darkorbit ,thay laugh an ask me ..you don't play that do you that game a joke right load of crap ..you do know darkorbit it the laghing stock of the games around yes ,an you wounder why you get no new players

the chance for things in game is a joke
the price is a joke
the total cost just to compete is a joke
the only way to save this game is too get everyone on the same level ..put everything in shops at low prices yes everything

everyone's ships are at same power ..shilds .engines lf4s everything

gates only for x4 ammo rewards ..you make money off them

if people have fun in the game like it was when it first came out the maps would be full yes full even loads of new players .because people would be having fun again knowing its all about skill and not how much you drop in the game to get the new toys ...you would still make loads of cash from ship skins ..gates..boosters.

but no no you guys know best right not me some one who was playing from the first time the game came out .I would love to get the dev team or some one to sit down with me and talk about the game ..because I'm 100% sure if thay did an did the things I said to them ,this game would be like it was years ago

as a wise man said before you can polish a turd as much as you like but its still a turd ..jus think about that

 

This game its not that expensive... just use ur brain about how u want to use ur uridium....

 

I'm going to compare both of these games. League of Legends and Darkorbit are both essentially the same at their core, being free to play games. However, one distinct difference between the two is that Darkorbit is pay2win, whilst League of Legends is not.

League of Legends is made by Riot, and over the years they are known to develop their game so perfectly that it puts entire developed console flagship games like Call of Duty, God of War, etc to absolute shame.

As far as I know, since early 2012 when I first started playing League I can proudly say I have never personally encountered a cheater or a game breaking bug in that game. The worst bug I've encountered is a broken texture which is easily fixable by simply relaunching the game.

Darkorbit on the other hand... I can't even play it because my flash player is not being read by the website... AGAIN.

League of Legends is completely free to play, no money required, everyone also has equal accounts and equal chance against one another making it essentially a skill based game.

There is no skill in Darkorbit, only cheapo tactics like moth and ring and they only work because they are absolutely overpowered that there is no real counter to them. Need I mention the HUGE gap between FE, UFE, and whatever nonsense with Spartan drones and LF4s we have now?

I don't think you understand League of Legends either my friend. It's a MOBA game and there is no saved progress like in an MMO RPG like DO game where you get equipment permanently. Every game in League you start new game, nothing like equipment or gold from your previous games are saved. A level 30 Bronze V account(the very bottom of the rank latter) is just as equal as a level 30 Challenger account(the very top rank). The only difference is skill level and how much you know about the game.

Influence Points are gained by playing the game just like credits in DO. Riot points are gained by buying them with real money like Uridium. Runes are >ONLY< available through Influence Points purchases and are >NOT< obtained through Riot Points, only skins and an extra rune page(that you can still buy with Influence Points) is available with Riot Points.

So in reality, League of Legends is a play2win game because you still need to buy champs and runes for a while.

There is no such thing as "pushing" in League because progress in one game is deleted at the end and it does not carry on.

I understand your "feeding" inquiry and how you lose games because of that, but that is the price you have to pay for a very large game.

Masteries are also completely free to use.

So I want to to take League of Legends and compare it to Darkorbit. Riot, the company that owns League of Legends is famous for their free to play game that requires no money whatsoever. In addition to fame, its no secret that Riot has also made a fortune at out skin purchases and business ALONE.

Now what about Bigpoint? They certainly don't have a reputation as big as League of Legends and most certainly is struggling in just staying alive.

Both are free to play games, but Darkorbit is pay2win while LoL is not.

So I want to ask you a rhetorical question. Why is League of Legends a known, rich flagship game with their own ESports category just living off of SKINS while Darkorbit is lesser known and it requires uridium for nearly EVERY purchase you make in the game, in addition to suffering in popularity and financially compared to years ago.

I know the answer: Darkorbit is too expensive for what it offers and it needs to change or it will die off like every other pay2win game.

I don't expect this post to be up for long either because censorship is a big issue in forums.

 

Yes exactly play to win, matchmaking work the way that u must have ton of games per season to be able to climb because soon or later you start be matchmaked with low lvl skill player who will lose you game. If you are unlucky with matchmaking you need about 1k+ games per season to be able climb from gold to plat or from plat to diamond. So if you are gold you need about 2k games to get in diamond what is about 1600 hours of play, in darkorbit for 1600 hours of play LOW gate with 2 friends you can make about 30m uridium what is more than enough to get on UFE point even u can make about 10m uridium with x1 ammo in x-3 map for that amound of time while diamond on LOL still isn't top you can get.

By the rate of 37,5% for hercules on sunday you need 15 kappa for 10 hercules thats about 1,2m cost.
BY rate of 45% for havoc on sunday you need about 10 zeta for 10 havoc thats about 500k uridium cost.
If you are unlucky during helix you need about 4k booty for 35 lf4 thats about 4,2m uridium cost.
36 pp cost 9k log disc thats about 2m uridium
About 1k booty for apis and zeus its 1m uridium
35lf4 + 10 drones + 20 bo2 on lvl16 cost 3,5m uridium during upgrade hour.
All cost is calculated with rabat and premium discount.

So for ufe account you need about 12,4m uridium in LOW gate you can get it in time frame of 500-600 hours of play what isn't enough for climb from plat to diamound.

There is a difference people don't realise, LOL is free to play but its time sucking game where u need to spend a lot time to go up, since every game is "new thing" with different chempions and new people you don't really see how much time you actually spend playing LOL.

Problem with is that people don't have idea how to play because top players are to lazy to teach them or they know better than "pro", but after playing a few months and waste time playing "wrong" way come on forum and cry how game is to hard, UFE is to powerful, DO don't care about weak players, if you colect palladium where you can get like 1500 per hours whats about 100ee per hours in abc you can get back about 6k uridium for it, of course you will need 3 times more time to get on UFE point than go in LOW with frineds.
Why would u need to shoot on cubikon there is 20 protegits which give 16 uridium each thats 320 uridium per cube since UFE dmg them with kamikaze they got half hp and shield its easy for you to kill thats about 15k uridium per hour and both of you are happy, on protegit u must do 5,6k dmg for 1 uridium almost same as kristallon but u can count it on half since UFE is dmg them and make them easier fo you to kill.
Somebody asked me for 1k hours to get on UFE point for free, use x1 and shoot protegits its 15m uridium in 1k hours of play, but rabat for 2€ on week spend it all and get yourself UFE.
This is just 2 examples how to make easy uridium, in DO is all about to try get as much uridium as you can with low spend of ammo per hour.

 

You're comparing different types of games....

Darkorbit is some sort of RPG game.. while LOL is a MOBA.

If you want to compare Darkorbit with something, do it with games like WOW, Aion, Black desert, etc...

In these games u start grinding ur life out(or u pay ur way to the top), and ofc there will be some diference in gear between someone that have been playing it for years, or someone that just joined few months ago...

This is how these games work, in these types of games if a new player wants to have equipment/gear as good as some veteran player, they have to pay for it usually, and with real money.

The general problem with RPG's is that...as the time passes there are less and less beginners, and then the beginners playzone starts getting empty, and due to that the game is less appealing since any new player joining the game will find him/herself alone.

You can take a look at any online RPG game that have been out here for a while, and u will probably see the problem i described to you in 99% of them.

Its not about Darkorbit being too expensive, nowadays Darkorbit is not that expensive as it used to be few years ago.
