[SC] What annoys me the most about DarkOrbit

A lot of things annoy me about this game, but only one stands out. This one thing out shines everything else immediately, I could rant about the paytowin, the LF-4 release and how it unbalanced the game, the shield to damage ratio... But none of this annoys me more than this one thing:

The lazy bug fixes and patches.
​

It's like they don't care to the point they're prepared to fix things a month after finding about it, things like "cosmetics not doing their usual HP values" and just rubbish like this that barely even matter. And when they do update things to try and change say PvP, for example, all they do is make one ship more stronger than the other so other players don't even consider using other ships. Its annoyed me for so long so I feel like posting a thread about it to see if others feel the same way as I do.

 

Yes, agree. Bug fixes? Hello R-zone, lol, more than a couple of years and no fix.

I am annoyed by the nerfing of abilities and such, even happening well after a ship or other thing is released due to complaints from the "fair play" whiners. If that offends, I am sorry, but I believe you should get what you pay for, and keep it over time once you pay for it.

So, I don't know, I just want to have fun playing the game and do my best. I just wish the shifting stands would get some things done the actual players of this game would like to see happen, as opposed to the current state of more "content" and ignoring the forum folks.

 

Moved -> Speakers Corner

 

lots players would agree with you,sadly if falls on death ears.many players are annoyed over the last month botters has quadubled.at night during week in nine years of play it's got out of control.even thou game has other issues,many like me feel time they game makers addressed this.i sad it has come to the point where many of my closest friends have quit

 

Bots will always be around now, lets face it, there's a clear reason they aren't removing them and it's because they are bringing in the money for the company.

 

i been playing dark orbit for some time now i play the game the way its was designed no botting no pushing i dont even use the sep glitch i see my ranking falling cause of the botters and cheaters i have worked hard on my ship put out alot of cash something needs to be done about the botters terms and conditions states pushing and botting is a no no and the far play rule that came out what happend to that also found this

Great gaming, for everybody.​

FAIRNESS
Which brings the challenge of building transparent and balanced monetisation systems. We don’t segregate paying and non-paying users and strive to maintain a healthy balance in our communities.
there is no healthy balance to the straight players well i vented enough for now lol ty for your time

 

I agree, the Bugfixes come way to slow and late.

I feel, like they only wanna fix Bugs, if those give the players a reason not to put money in the game or if they break the game.

For example the Cargo-Bay Bug (which by the way is back again with the new Proti-Event, even though BP should have learned it the first time ....) when the new Assembly-System came out, where people could not get their lasers/rockets/Gens updated. It would have broken the game if they didn't fix it fast.
So they were basically forced too do something.

The Ice-Meteore "Bug" in the Frozen Labyrith-Event would have given some players 300k Uri twice over 14 Days so 8.4 Million.
That is worth 800$ so it was fixed immediately.


But bugs like: (these are all bugs that are known by BP for months/years, i'm not sharing any secrets or anything)

Spoiler: ....

the "parking-Bug" (NPC stop moving and stop shooting you) or
the "Vagrant-block" (in low gate) or
the "Q-Zone/LoW-Bug" (more than 8 players in) or
the LoW-Gate bug (you can be in there alone) or
the "Galaxie-Gate Generator Bug" (somethimes an error pops up and page needs to be refreshed otherwise nothing works anymore)

and many many many many more are there for years now without any fixes.
Because they dont lead to millions and millions of "free" uridium.

Bots are not really Bugs but they are also there, even though they are forbidden. Auto-lock is also still there.


Why is that ?
Why not fix every Bug with the same "motivation".
I get that some are more important to fix first, but come on...

If we take the mentioned "parking-Bug", I encountered it the first time in 2013! and it's still there!... 7 Years and no fix...
The "Galaxie-Gate Generator Bug", the oldest thread about it that I was able to find in the forum goes back all the way to 2017, here again over 2 Years and no fix....
The ""Vagrant-block" is known since before the LoW-Gate was changed to what it is now, and that change was made around 2018...


BigPoint needs to step up and do something.
