[SC] UNOFFICIAL: DarkOrbit Revealed Archive

Sorry to say mate but that is by design.
If you aren't in or associated with the dominant group on your server, you're not catered for when it comes to game content.

 

There's a lot of "code text" so I'll try put a thorough "gist of it", but if lots of code text doesn't bother you - just click on the spoilers. ("code text" gives better idea what might be like)


Galaxy gate/event name: Gauntlet of Plutus

Game client/window text:

Gist of it:

• Seems is a repeatable gate, not clear how long have to wait to do again
• It has a player ranking
• Rankings score is based on how long take to complete gate(over 60 minutes don't receive a score)
  • Score may also get higher with each gate you do, see the below achievements bit
• Sounds like it might have a "accumulate points for rewards" window thing, gain points by killing aliens inside the Gauntlet of Plutus gate

(those 3 packages are listed under "NPC Beacon event" but third one has "gop"/Gauntlet of Plutus, as for first two guess will have to wait and see)

Achievements listed for the event:

Initially list was too long, so at least the "more interesting" stuff:

• At least one achievement implies it might be an recurring event
• Achievement and a title for being the top ranked player at end of the event:
  • Champion of the Gauntlet
• A title for defeating Plutus 30 times(maybe, not that clear): Destruction of Wealth
• Achievements for accumulating certain amounts of score, in a single Gauntlet of Plutus event
  • This kinda implies ranking score will be based on not just time take to complete, but also how many times complete the gate. (but not totally clear if it is like this)
• Not an achievement but put it here anyway: seems will be able to see "user ranking" for the event, on the Ranking>Event Rankings page (at least is listed next to others that see there)

Nobilis ship designs:

Reconstructed from materials extracted from Plutus, stand out from the pack with the Nobilis Cyborg design!

Spoiler

Nobilis Hammerclaw ship design

Built from the remains of Plutus, the Nobilis Hammerclaw exudes an aura of grandeur wherever it goes.

Spoiler

Nobilis Mimesis ship design

Advance through the ranks with this Nobilis Mimesis design!

You might as well have saved the effort making mimesis and hammerclaw designs and should have made three cyborg ones.

 

Chance to get: BRB-2, ST-2, BT-1, ECB-1, NN-1*

Chance to get: BRB-2, ST-2, BT-1, ECB-1, NN-1*

So 2 of the 5 progress rewards are for a ship that is not worth having?

Oh yeah this will be a great new event.,.

DO developers obviously don't listen to players, more's the pity.

 

Whaaaaaat?

Those resources aren't design, but hi-tech, like Battle RoBot2 (BRB-2)- NpcNuke(NN-1)- etc. (the new one from plutus event)

 

Ok.. My bad.

 

it will be a good event i think

 

As long as you have plenty of X4 and Sep and can hit like a freight train, yes it could be a decent event.
For the average (majority) player, it's just going to be another event dominated by the top players (usually one clan and their allies).

DO need to stop singling out the minority top players as their sole target audience for events or they are just going to keep losing those trying to come up behind them.

 

Nothing new for incoming Easter?

 

any easter eggs on before i set my bio?

 

Some things game designer OP32 has said on the DarkOrbit Discord(#general_en), about an PvP event in development:

Spoiler

(second part was response to someone asking if could increase rewards of daily events like TDM, Spaceball etc) (first part was response to someone asking about the GG Double rewards not running when should)

Quite a bit of text to read, though a list of things said would also be long - since there isn't much unimportant bits to read.


Some game client text that seems to be related to that PvP event, says "TODO" so to a degree might still be placeholder stuff:

Yup, sounds like another punk rock head-banger edition on it's way.
1 pve event and 9 years pvp.... f-u-n-n-y

 

So what's the next event going to be?

 

Would seem that even Developers have given up on the idea of the game being "company" vs company. So when will same company war targets begin to count towards the multitude of company specific PVP missions ??
200+ kills logged in the last week, yet only 11 of those counted toward a PVP mission I have running because most of the fighting is vs enemy/war clans with members in my company.

 

PvP with random matched teammates.Possibly lvl 16 lf4s max for balance reasons. Maybe FE based fights? And hopefully non skill ships on some matches? Would seem logical to have an FE and UFE equipment restricted matches and would give us with thousands of lf3s and b02s something to set up FE ships for. Plus different play methods would make the game more fun. Obviously DO is trying to acquire the "play your way" idea through these balances.
