[UI] CREDIT DESIGNS NOT URI

this game seem to be starting 2016 as it means to go on, all the new ship designs and drone designs and new gates are all aimed at the uri buying wallet warriors of this game,
I think do needs to design a fair few items for credits aswell, theres absolutely no balance for credit players or even a chance to customise the look of anything they have that's why this game is lacking new players, it needs need ideas and designs for credit purchases not just uridium, not all of us can afford uridium.

so how about designing some new things for credit players.
they don't have to have any benefits. just the chance to customise like all like wallet warriors

new drone skins for credits, just a couple of new variations skins for credit player to customise there flax

9th and 10th flax, these can be built just the same way as apis and zeus, just with uridium, maybe use the same method as the upgrading sytem to get them.

new credit ships designs, updated looks or new designs for credits, don't have to have any abilities

a pet for credits., a pet for credits maybe half of what the uri pet does but something to help those none uri players with a little assistance

galaxy gates for credits, a credit galaxy gate for non uri player maybe a credit version of alpha, beta, gamma, just cost credits, which offers half of the aliens and half of the rewards or even quarter for the credit players to get a little experience.

instead of 3 rings you will get a bar under your rank badge for credit gates,
alpha 1 bar
beta 2 bars
gamma 3 bars.

I think its time to create sumthing usefull for credit players to do and use on, come on already create sumthing for the credit players

 

Credit skins for flax would be a waste of time as flax drones are starter drones to get you by till you can get your iris drones and the cost to create them by the devs would be to high.

Again credit ship designs would be a lead brick for the devs mainly the cost to produce them and also the fact credit ships are no longer widely used as all the elite ships can be purchased at the auction fairly cheaply.

9th and 10th flax cant see that happening because players who have apis and zeus have had to work hard to to get the parts needed to build them.

Credit alpha beta and gamma would just be spammed for easy uri and rank points.

A credit pet could never happen because it is a big money maker for DO with all the pet gear needed and fuel it needs, maybe one day we will see pets in the auction but till that day comes the only way to get your pet is to work hard and save up uri and buy on rebate day when they pop up.

 

Hi,

I have always been a free player and will be, as i have never paid any real money.

1) If you think about it, items ARE in credit prices. At least the full elite ones. (i am talking about auction)
2) If you want to become strong, you wont need any fancy flaxes, instead you need ACTUAL bonuses. Therefore, you need to spend your credits on LF3, BO2, IRISES. (if you dont have any good ship you should get one first). all of these are available in the auction house, with variable prices(also you can get the most commong designs for around 200.000 credits)
3) How to become strong?
A) You need a clan with allies. Many allies.
B) When you have the allies, you can freely collect bonus boxes in PVP maps. This way, you get uridium!
C) You keep collecting uridium untill you get a pet. Then, you keep doing it WITH the pet (your income will almost double)
D) ALWAYS send promerium to your ship and sell it. You could get up to 10 million credits PER DAY just from skylab (with these creidits you get the equipment in the auction house, while buying the very basics for your pet with uridium)
E) When you become a bit strong(and own a pet), you start collecting PALLADIUM, and do ZETA'S. When you start doing the zeta's you will notice a rapid development of your ship)

Overall, what i am trying to say, is that a few fancy looking drones wont make you stronger. When you are a free player, you need to spend time on collecting boxes (if still dont have a pet) and then palladium. Unfortunately, its a long way to the top, but DO IS a company that needs profitable games, and it will always try to make you give money.

I spent time to write this text, because back when i didnt know the ways a free player has to work i would keep making suggestions like this one, but then i realized it wont get you anywhere.. Just remember the things i just wrote, and you will be fine.

 

This is rich, I mean this is too rich...

For the OP, your right. The year has started off with a bang with uri based offers, after money based offers. But as pointed out, that is nothing new for a company looking to make money. If you put something out there for cash/uri, people are going to scoop it up. However, maybe you could give some more clarification as to what you are driving at as a lot of what you ask for can be gotten for credits.

Designs can be gotten in the action for credits. It takes a while but you can do it. They have not put the latest designs in there but why would they do that with something that just came out in the past year? As new as they are, people are just waiting for their work bonus, or tax refunds to come in to purchase them. DO realizes these ships are still super attractive to the wallet, even if a person is complaining about the price, a good percentage of them will still buy them.

Credit ship designs would be nice but I am not holding my breath. I am flying the BigBoy with design currently. Its good for the experience bonus but I am not going to pretend a damage or shield variation may come anytime soon. I think Solemn design basically came out because somebody was bored and thought, oh look what I drew. All and all it is not a bad idea. Same for credit drone designs. I am just running with flax drones also, something that will not be changing. I won't lie, I did get the frost designs for them but it was really while planning for something else that I thought I would be able to purchase, which did not pan out. It is nice having something to change up the look, and seeing something else become available for a few, million, credits would not be bad. Like you said, just for looks. All these different designs that are coming out, while nice, just don't get me going.

Your ideas make me think you are trying to play like I am, credit ship, flax, maybe lasers, shields, and speed also. At least that is how I play. 9th and 10th flax seems cool but I think you should be able to have those anyways and under the same rules for drones, as you get your apis and zues, have to sell the flax. Playing as a credit player is expensive, trust me I know. Spending corresponding credits to build a flax apis/zues would be horrible to do. As bad as it is for someone saving uri, credit building for it would be murder.

A pet for credits I really don't think is worth it. If you play for a good month, you can save up for a regular pet. I think I got my pet after 2 weeks of hard playing. I mainly have it to sell ore. I have it do the collecting also, but the selling of ore while I am away from base was the number one reason for it. That is critical for making credits whether from transfers or cargo's. If they did come out with a credit pet, it should have no more than 2 gear slots, to be shared for a level 1 auto-looter, resource collecting, and cargo trader. Anything else, you could get the regular pet for. It can be done, as I am doing it.

The gate you got when you started playing. You can work on building alpha, beta, and gamma gates the same way as everyone else does. Also, I would ask if you are working on upgrading equipment. As you do harder gates, you will need more strength and stamina.

I would like to point out that the OP was not making any suggestions to make one stronger. OK maybe with gates, but really this entire thing was mostly about looking good for credits. If any of the suggestions are implemented, my credit account will be in line to get it as my BigBoy and Nostro love the attention.

 

Credit account as in credit equipment or just not spending any money? You never answered that question.

I have FE accounts on seven servers, not hard to do that and not spend any money. But my BigBoy account is all credit minus the drone design as mentioned. It would be nice for dev's to encourage advancement but like mentioned, the design they gave it is really just a "Oh, look what we pushed out while you all are running around in your hunt ships." The exp bonus is a good touch. Trust me, I am using it to the max. However, we, are a select few running an account this way, secondary to our other accounts. New players will make the jump to a goliath or vengeance as fast as possible as even the descriptions push players into getting them fast. Oh, now I see the descriptions are not posted in the shop. At any rate the Goliath was pushed as the ultimate battle cruiser...

 

Making uri is this game isnt hard.Just takes a little knowledge of what to farm and when.

So for a starting player you would first do missions that give good ep so you can hit lvl 12, then once you have access to all your company maps its time to start questing as much as you can to get creds and uri built up and get FE by bidding on gear from auctions.Saving that uri for a pet, and when you achieve FE you buy your 2nd hangar which is very cheap and put any ship you want in there.Buy the pet when you can and keep it active while doing quest so it will reach lvl 8 which is when you can use lvl gear on the pet, again during this process your saving uri but goal is to get lvl 3 resource collector or auto looter because you will need to box or collect palladium.

When you have your pet lvl 8 with auto looter, resource collector or both.You then start building gates which is your ticket to UFE.So you farm these gates I recommend doing Zeta since it gives 50 logdisk and its pretty easy to control when the npc spawn in that gate so you don`t lag if your on a slower connection or computer.While doing zeta you save your keys for gold boxes and nothing else since you need parts for apis and zeus and some lf4 if your lucky.Save your uri from this gate and wait for discount events on logdisk or pet gear.And during Mega you can buy 100 emp which comes out to 50,000 uri without premium, rebate or discount event and with 100 emp, long as you dont waste them trying to pvp they will last through the week.Avoid big fights till you can actually do some dmg, you can help your clan or allies but don`t put your self in a bind to where you waste all your emps before next mega.Don`t forget to try and nab cloak chips from auction once you have a nice pile of creds those work great with emps for evading death.

After you have spent time farming zeta for 10 havocs turn to kappa which by then your bio would look pretty decent.And hoping by then you have found some lf4s from boxes and now your looking at apis and zeus...Well the tip on that is do not buy apis till your zeus is a reasonable price that you may actually buy with uri you have saved.You will probably get apis built or nearly buil before you have 20 zeus parts but thats ok, just let that apis sit there till you can buy your zeus.

Once you learn quicker ways to build gates your game is simple, make a routine for gaining ground.If your picking pally and a group keeps bugging you, just go box or farm decent npc like bbk or cubes till you can return to pally.Or you can build a boxing bio if you like boxing but theres many ways to build up should you do them.Once you get in the rhythm uri comes flowing in.

Now the problem with the game is DO left this open hole called player choice,its up to the players to teach new players and know better than to just farm little ships till they quit....But there are always those noobs who see a bare goli or vengi and think (instapop).Its an interesting element in games but noobs here in DO that like hunting any red dot they say have proven they cant be trusted with this freedom to shoot anybody regardless of size.....(I used my option in the free choice hole DO left and did whats best,explain the game to you.)

 

Hi everyone,

Lets refrain from flaming over different perspectives on this & whatnot. If it's going to resume as a flame/spam fest we'll have to close it out sooner than later.

You're all entitled to different opinions and coming at something differently, so lets respect that and keep the suggested idea that started this thread in mind please so it can stay on topic^^

Thanks & regards,

 

drone designs for creds wouldnt have any bonus or it would make herc and havoc useless so would just be for the colour, also they are giving opportunities to get different colour ones free from events.
9th and 10th flax isnt a too bad idea but not have it with uri to buy them, maybe quests give parts to collect them then give the chance after half the parts are collected to buy it with creds but would need to be a decent amount of them,
There gonna be a chance to craft pets free when crafting system is finished, also events can give full pets,
gg for creds would just get abused by rich players.

 

i don't buy uri at all and it took me a year to get one of my ships up to FE status, with some extras, including apis, and zeus. It can be dome, players have to want it. .

 

Well you can bid on all of the skills designs as well as the passive designs.

And regarding your statement about "expensive" drone designs; they were given out for literally free, in a free gate, during the Halloween event.

Just keep an eye out for the next event, Mardigras, to me at least, doesn't seem to be aimed at being a huge event, unlike Parasite Tide, Halloween, and Christmas, therefore the designs probably aren't aimed for distribution to the majority of the public.

 

All these years I've played (since 2010), there has been so many ideas but all mainly "credit designs".
Get over the fact that BP is not going to invest time in this idea. So use your time at something more productive, this is a waste.​

 

Who the heck runs around with credit items You need uri items Upgrade yourself

 

Awe did you miss my entry earlier? I run all credit, and rest assured, I am upgrading the items. Level 4 upgrades this month. Thanks for asking.
