Hitac Assault Feedback

Hello Space Pilots,

Please provide your feedback here for the Hitac Assault Event and Astral Ascension Rankings.

Your DarkOrbit Team

(Reminder, this is not the place for off-topic posts. This thread is reserved for feedback regarding this event.)

 

Hitac - Nice to see those using trains aren't being forgotten when it comes to events.
This one couldn't benefit them more.

Astral Gate - Do the NPC's now give rewards? If not there is no reason the average player would want to participate. No rewards paid and roughly 300k uri to open the gate, not sure there is too many players (who don't bot fulltime) will bother with this for no return.

One question, does the game not want real players anymore - Is automation the future of DO? I'm not seeing any reason to keep spending money on BotOrbit.

NB; I expect this post to be removed but to those who ask for feedback - Don't ask if you don't want to truth

 

In playing the game I am wondering when or if there will be any form of moderation or administration?

Im not seeing any kind of work going into the game to deal with app users. If thats the case and its now allowed and events are being set up for them can I participate while not being in the special group that is able to do that?

 

on the PVE Global Server, why does a HITAC appearing on map autonatucally trigger the Ambassador Peace CPU even if you are not shooting it and no where near the NPC. This is not mentioned in the FAQ nor is it desirable on the PVE server for this to happen.
This should be corrected ASAP?

 

This is a prank right? Like seriously, explain to me how we're releasing an event, that Trains will 100% Dominate (Which they are) and we're not doing anything about it.... Please, tell me, what are the non-cheats supposed to do here? There's literally multiple trains of the largest cheat clan in the server dominating it on GA1, nothing is going to happen to them too I presume, event is unplayable, compensation to real players is required. Get your lazy a--'s in there with your admin ships and either start wiping the trains yourselves, or banning them. This is ridiculous, what an insult to this games history.

 

Time for Vacation forget this game for a while lots of alternative to play which give nice bonuses, this HITAC event ever since was a headache too much cheat and BP ignored it...

 

Great event, 2 players from one clan with 14 or more accounts running it.

Event should just be renamed - CHOO CHOO event.

 

I love seeing the new plus ships fly in perfect formation in ths ability I was told by support was not possible years ago.
No game support is available to stop or mitigate any of this.
Its why I stopped buying uri and just play the events in gates.

 

I haven't seen any ''trains'' yet but like previous years the Hitac's are being dominated by one or two clans. Why couldn't it be that the map Hitac 2.5 is located would be non pvp area for the duration of Hitac's passing through. For example in the plutus experiment event where there were two non-pvp maps and one for pvp with greater rewards

 

"New boosters available in the shop for PvP damage", so I checked the Boosters section, nothing, and then I find them under Extra's... There they are! Only available as payment...! Has there ever been a more blatant direct pay for extra damage? Not exactly enticing me back to the game as an honest player. Make them available for 10k uri like every booster?

 

You can also obtain them from uber aliens in 4-5 as random booster drop

 

On GA1, we have 3 Blocks at war, usually what happens if trains aren't there is, our blocks either does it peacefully, or we start wiping the other block for engaging (Happened a few times already) in the event this did happen, 2-3 trains show up to wipe everyone out, then they circle around you like they're the hottest thing in space.

Not to mention, the BMs have the biggest train block holding down bases where most Hitacs are spawning, and if you enter, you get a nice visual of 50+ ships in trains.


All of this could be fixed if DO got in their admin ships and took down every single one of them, but they don't care, they choose to pretend, and silence.

 

Go shoot ubers in 4-5, I ended up with 10+ hrs of each after only 30 mins in 4-5

On US server there is one block, comprising 5 or 6 clans (they create a new clan every time they run out of room). Everyone else has either gone to other servers, left their clans or just stopped logging in..
All you see is 2 or 3 trains protecting 5 or 6 members actually killing the hitac.
My old clan has gone from 15 to 20 online daily to 2 or 3, on a good day. Sad part is, we were a top 5 clan that is now gone.

 

How are we supposed to play the event to give feedback ? there are TRAINS on the hitac 2 trains killing it and 2 trains guarding it . get in ur admin ships and watch the GA1 server. theres a top clan that is abusing the game. They dont let anyone else do anything in game. DO SOMETHING about the TRAINS or your game will be more dead than it is. there are literally 2-3 people owning 50 accounts controlling all of the server. have a look atleast . See the misery. No one can play the event .

 

We have recently come back to get things rolling now that I have a PC, and we typically just run through the clans that cheat until they bring trains. Last night was just that. killed some wars, and boom 2 trains rolled in. It's insane. Spoke to a mod today too, and he as well is very frustrated.

 

Just waiting for the Dev team to compensate those of us unable to complete the BP due to the immense cheating going on. The amount of damage you need to do to the Hitac is too high considering it takes so long to wipe the minions all while fighting a dozen trains.

 

From the event FAQ's
Like last time, we also present an easy version for the Hitac during this event for our low level players. In this easy version, the Hitac box has a minor chance of dropping a capsule. With the easy version, low level players also have the chance to get some of the Battle Pass rewards and the chance to exchange Battle Pass Keys.

May I ask where the "easy version" for low level players can be found.
All I see his top level players, mostly in trains on which ever map I go to for Hitac.

What actually is the chance of getting one of the new XOFO2 modules to suit a ship with healing abilities - I crafted 9 of them and got none to suit the mouseover description (higher chance of affecting ships with a healing ability) and only ONE for a ship I actually own (out of 25 ships).

Why does DarkOrbit continually misrepresent rewards from events?
This event - There is no "Easy Version" for low level players - Only Trains.
Getting one of the new upgrade modules to suit a healing ship seems to have very low probability, possibly because they made them available for EVERY ship in the game.
I feel the 140k uri for the battlepass was just a waste - I got nothing to help me advance in the game.

Can't even honestly say I'm disappointed - In the 11 years I've been around this game I've become used to the misdirection used by staff at DO.


One positive, sort of I guess. Astral rankings - Is so popular I've used 1 cpu, done 7 rifts and am in the top 10. The rewards from Astral Rankings might just go close to covering the resources I wasted doing battlepass objectives for no useful outcome.

 

The easy version is the one that spawns in the x-3 and x-4 maps. The harder is the one in the battle maps.

 

Congrats Bigpoint, yet another cheating bot ruins yet another event. Can't even get close enough without a botter forming a train chain that instantly shoots anyone who gets close.

 

Yeah I know, thanks.
My point was - Yes it is easier to kill and yes it is killed very quickly by the trains and top level players - New/er players and those not in the block group that ruins/runs the server - Don't get to do Hitac - Easymode or otherwise.

NB; Just logged in to 3-4, sat on portal as the Hitac spawned, followed by 3 trains and followers (all from the same group) who killed it before it made it to 3-3. Not much room for anyone else to engage in that part of Hitac Event.
