[SC] 100 New Missions?

What are the new missions?

Will the old UFE one's remain?

 

They are Adding Missions, not Taking away. Tho they should get rid of the R-Zone Missions since the R-Zone does not work.

 

I think its great to get new missions . Thanks dark orbit at least you are trying to make changes to the game for the better. I liked the new video it was different.

 

Do you know what the missions are yet?

 

they come on the 23rd... they didn't say what they are but you have to be level 20+ min to do them.

 

Interesting...

 

Looking forward to the new missions

 

i hope thats not the case!!!!!

 

Level 22 so I just want new missions. a change is good for the game.

 

so is there a forum post for the new missions?

 

100 new missions, but only if you are level 22 or over, s catering for a very small percentage of players, so why bug other players with the news on their home page etc, when for most it will be years before they can start them. My main account has just hit level 20 so it will be 2 years or more before I can start them.
How about doing something for the majority of players who sit between lvl17 -20, and by player ranking its easy to see this is where the majority of players are.

 

yeah, the level req and also needing to finish 17,500 sab pops.... gives me a lot of time to learn a new language to read what the missions really are ( tired of having to use a translation 3rd party to figure out what is being talked about - LOL ).
USA2Projekt - check dev posting http://www.bigpoint.com/darkorbit/board/threads/missions.122643/#post-940504 - and missions showing up a day early.

 

It would seem as the years have gone by there is no-one left at DO that has a clue about communicating with the player base.
Nightmares Unbound!
Can you survive the nightmare, as Nyx, HULL, the Ministry and a new contact, compel you to uncover who lives in your nightmares. Find out in 100 brand-new missions which will change DarkOrbit forever!

Would it have been so hard to have the blurb read - 100 brand new missions for those level 22 players.
That way those of us who these missions don't concern (for the next year or two) would know not to bother about the blurb.
All you did was give players across the board a hint of expectation, only to disenchant everyone under lvl 22 and have them once again ask - Is it worth playing a game that has nothing new to offer and caters only for the top level elites.
Sure lvl 22 players deserve something for their dedication to a game that offers so little new content but doesn't the rest of the player base deserve something too?

I do have to wonder if catering for such a small minority of players (LVL 22) is at all beneficial to the sustainability of the overall game?
Maybe restructuring some of the available missions for those not at the top level would make more sense.
Like for example; Human Frauds, destroy 30 Tartarus, Pusat - I haven't seen that many in the time I've been playing let alone had the opportunity to kill 30 of them. To complete that mission, like many of the ship specific pvp missions, I'd end up being accused of pushing.
The current meta and low server populations means many ship specific pvp missions are near to impossible to complete - Who wants to have mission slots taken up with missions that may take months to complete because players just don't use the ships you have to kill to complete them. Or risk a ban for pushing if you do find that one guy flying the right ship.

Why are there no missions to destroy the most commonly seen ship on most servers - Destroy 100 Cyborgs, could be completed in a day or two whereas Destroy 30 Tatarus, Pusat could take weeks if not months. A few meta specific missions could renew interest for a lot of players.

 

Being lvl 22 and having done the lvl22 saboteur quest (killing 17.500 of them) is required to see the first of the new 100 quests. Those are put one after another so you always just can see/accept the next one after finishing a quest.

It's something for the veterans of the game, all others still should have many old quests left to do...

 

Since they started "Reloaded," there has been a habit to focus PVP missions on specific ships with more missions coming out as new ships/designs come out. I am surprised no missions have surfaced for the 3 newest ships as stated, but don't expect to see old ones disappear. These missions took them so long to fix after they split up the designs into their own ships. The Tartarus and Pusat were, and in few cases are, ships that were used in raids and surprise attacks because of their speed. This made them into a great mission to do since so many were seen at the time but now everyone is focused on the Cyborg. I am waiting for its popularity to die out like the Surgeon did.

I am still working on getting to level 22 so I have mixed reviews about the new missions. It is good that they added them. I even find it good that they added them to the level 22 list. However, and remember I am not level 22 so I have not seen them, the missions they already had for level 22 take a long time to do (I know its way shorter when in group). It would be good for a level 22+ player to be able to do others that take less time and go back. Even with the requirement for the sab mission only, it makes since to do all the original pirate missions together. Why not have that be the requirement and not just one mission.

 

You can view them in the NYX by doing the following steps and since level 22 is as high as the missions go should be easy to see them.

1. Open the NYX
2. click on the up/down arrow icon, this inverts the display if missions lowest to highest and back
3. click the padlock icon, this shows ALL missions including LOCKED level missions which every level seems to have
4. view ALL missions the NYX has to offer

The level locked missions will show what level you have to be, the locked missions that should be able to be done will show what has it locked if you hover over the accept button, usually any PvE missions not finished for the particular level.

@PSKSUNDANCE the level missions stopped at level 21 and therefore this answers the years of cries from this section of the game desiring something to do other than PvP and is also why they lost many of the Portal Protecting Veterans with the Reloaded AJP-01 jump chip, but this is still too little too late.

 

There were a few level 22 missions that they came out with months ago. One of the most popular one was the one to the secret map that is so hard to get into. I am really surprised they didn't make that the requirement to doing these new missions. Of the level 21 and below missions, I have 15 PVE missions to do on the West server on this account. I just checked and I still need 3 bil exp to get to level 22. Its not going to happen for me overnight. Most players I see really just want to hunt, but fat chance of that for the most part due to server populations. Also I had that jump chip way before Reloaded started. I don't even use it, as I have a ship in all the maps I do anything in.

 

Unless I am missing something the new lvl 22 missions don't show up, there is only 7 or 8 lvl 22 missions visible in the NYX. I am only lvl 20, maybe these new missions have been added to remain hidden until one reaches the required level..
I'd be interested to see what the breakdown of PVP/PVE missions is in the new 100.. Anyone care to share??

Between R-Zone (not available) and ship specific missions I currently have a lot of missions I can't complete. Maybe after the servers merge (and Cybogs get nerfed enough they aren't the go to for everything) some of these ship specific missions will be doable. XD

 

I believe the 100 missions are one at a time. I am not there but its what I am seeing here in forums and on discord.

 

So, you have to complete the SILENT SABOTUERS mission lv22.... 17.500. Good luck.
