  1. Hi,i have been playing this game since the early 2010.It feels nostalgic to talk about the recent past but i'd like only to say that dark orbit back then was a very popular game.I see the effort that bogpoint made the last couple of months to improve the game and I'm really glad.After 2010 the game started to die slowly(no new players,empty pvp maps,almost empty maps)but nowadays i think that after the release of dark orbit reloaded many new players will try the game and many old players may start playing again.However i think that the game needs many more changes and improvements,i have made a list of them:

    1)The cost to become fe and ufe has become pretty high but the price of uridium and the rewards that npcs(alliens) give have remained the same.So you should upgrade the rewards making them a bit higher and if you can improve the cost of uridium or multiply the banking doublers you can find in bonus boxes :).

    2)For god sake,make the item upgrades cheaper :p,they are really expensive,seriously have you ever think the possibility of make an addittional cost of upgrades in credits?For example to upgrade lf-3 from lvl 1 to 2 you must pay 250 uri per 5% chances or pay 250k credits per 5% chances(numbers are only examples,i dont know how the cost in credits or uri should be for the 5% upgrading).

    3)At last but not least you should make a weekly giveaway event.For example from each server 20 lucky players can win an elite ship design or an lf-4 or a havoc/herc design etc.This will really help new players and also older players.

    That's all i had to say :).I want constructive feedback from players and from moderators and the bigpoint technical support :).Thank you for your time and Bigpoint keep up with the good work improving the game and make it become as popular it was back in 2009-2010 ;).
     
  2. I like all of these ideas
     
  3. thank you man :),i hope bigpoit's people will read it too :).

    1. Yes
    3. yes
    2, no the upgrades are pretty easy to get ..I've spent a lot of uri on them and so did a lot of other players .but we would be ok.(at leat I would) if they made it 50% cheaper lets say .. so its fair for everybody but not credits since an lf3 is still widely used and a decent laser . especially when upgraded

    Agree with your ideas
    1) New players can obtain items faster; Fe players can improve items faster; Ufe players can purchase uridium ammo without having to spend their entire bank accound to purchase some rsb.

    2) upgrade costs are berserk!!! definitely lower them, i don't support the idea of upgrade hour, first off it only comes for an hour a week and most of the time many players aren't either aware of the hour or available during the hour, plus theres a limit to the amount of upgrades possible in 1 hour... yeah wonder who thought of that daft idea. 10 drones (8 iris ,1 apis, 1 zeus) + 45 lf4 (15 max goli, 20 max drones, 10 max pet) + 57 b02 (20 max citadel, 20 max drones, 17 max pet) + 1 rocket launcher = 113 upgrades! each uridium item to reach lvl 16 at 100 success rate is 104,250 uridium.
    113 X 104,250 = 11,780,250 uridium!!!!!! insane right.
    but for the benefit of the doubt -25% if we upgrade during upgrade hour (wonder how many upgrade hours that'll take) = 8,835,187.5 uridium, bonkers....
    lower the cost!
    Dont even get me started on the module upgrade costs!

    3) I was thinking a certain quest to complete with your username being entered into a random prize draw. Conditions: complete the weekly quest (not impossibly difficult and not easy, just hard); 20 names randomly draw out and they win the weekly prize. everyone gets an equal chance so long as they complete the quest. (so ufes get no advantage over Fes etc)
     
  6. Agreed with all :)

    probably no to 3 yes to 2 and 1. Apparently D.O. wasn't thinking of one because "quest rewards" were gonna get better. -_- all that got better was that the ep got turned like x5 and everything else got turned 0.5%. Now that D.O. is taking away old quests I have to kill 600 annis in two days... such fun.
     
  8. Thank you guys for the constructive feedback,i hope bigpoint's people see it and rate it too :) .
     
  9. Good ideas..but it'd bring down BP's income on the upgrades part by alot. So, I don't see this getting implemented.​
     
  10. if they want to bring the game to activity again like in 2009-2010 they ll think about it i think :).
     
  11. They don't care about activity sadly. They just want Wallet Warriors.​

    I agree with everything you said.
    However you should just get rid of the upgrades because they really are a pain
