  1. So Bigpoint, is this designed for people that just cheat? Because no legitimate player is ever going to be able to afford this without paying tons of money. Thanks for giving the cheats a new benefit in the game, we all appreciate it.

    Love,

    The DarkOrbit actual players.
     
  2. Let's be honest, if you had tons of lvl 16 items in the first place, then you definitely can afford to disassemble them.
     
  3. I personally have to congratulate DO on giving us something to do with all those LF3's I have. I had suggested that DO find us some way to trade in or donate these obsolete items from our inventories. No matter what , the cheats will always be able to exploit features in the game. However I only saw some of my inventory there . Will the rest be added later? Is there only a certain amount of slots being made available? Is this just a test set up for opinion seeking? If DO is seeking votes on this new feature then I vote
    YES
     
  4. Well, the way I see it is, if it is going to cost uridium to disassemble and all that appears to be gained is an extremely small number of abr then it is not worth it.
    Applying URI to the disassembly should give 90% of all resources used back to the player, or, leave it as that small amount of ABR and have no further cost to the player (as it would be akin to the disassembly 'factory' retaining the other resources)
     
  5. Hello :)
    I just loggend in, looked trough the Forum (the German one) and found this:
    https://board-de.darkorbit.com/threads/faq-montagewerk-demontage-disassembly.118142/
    EDIT: https://board-en.darkorbit.com/threads/new-assembly-disassemble-feature-faq.125155/ The English Version of the FAQ!


    Really excited I started reading the FAQ and was pleasently supprised how many Items there are to disassemble.
    But at a closer look I noticed the Prometheus-Laser, the enhanced LF-4 and BO3 Shields in the list. :confused:
    Why are those Items in there, who would want to disassemble them ?
    They are the best Equipment you can get right now.... Noone would (at least for now) think about disassembling them....

    And where are the Drone-Designs ?
    I've got 60 unused Havocs (and 20 which I am actually using, so 80 in total) rotting in my Hangar.
    I would rather disassemble those instead of the newest and best Items in the Game...
    But they are just not even in there.


    The second thing i noticed was:
    A Level 16 LF-4 gives 60 ABR back and the disassembly costs 15k Uridium ?
    That was a a shock, so I logged into the Game and took a look at it because I had the hope that those Numbers were not the final numbers.
    But nope, huge dissapointment, the Items only give a little ABR back and cost massive Uridium...:(

    I also noticed, that most Items in the list were missing. So I went back to the FAQ and took a closer look at it and found this:
    English: Only leveled items (at least Level 2) can be disassembled

    Yay ?:confused::confused::confused::confused:
    What is that ? I now have to pay 4 ABR and 300 Uri to level-up for example the normale LF-4 to Level 2, only to spend even more Uridium to disassemble them an I only get 1 ABR back ?:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

    ____________________________________________________________

    I did not want to bash the Disassebly that hard on the day of it's release especially because we all waited for this for so long, but why did you even bother putting this into the game (the way it is right now) ??
    Not a single person will use this!
    It's just an easy way to throw your Uridium out the Window!

    You'd rather just sell your exess items for a few credits instead of wasting tons of uridium there...

    So much potential but unfotunately really bad implementation. And it seems i am not the only one who thinks that way.

    i think this is a disgrace ! ,,i spent time and effort and a hell alot of uri in gaining items that are irrelevant now ,i upgraded them to 16 ,but to ask us to spend even more uri to get rid of them is disgraceful! ,i am not a mug so will not out of principle .
    the abr should be given without incurring any costs
     
  8. Lul,
    Another greed fueled way to exploit paying players.

    Thing is once you get over the Obsessive nature of this game- what is left? A game that demands money in so many sneeky ways it's just simply not worth playing.

    I think the future of this game is; make it downloadable and COMPLETELY FREE!

    P.S
    Can I sell off my x2 as well? I have way too much!!
     
    FreddyKrueger and -oversoulpaul- like this.
  9. Yes well hope the negative feedback will change their minds at BP and change it so i will disassemble my already lvl 16 lf4's that i payed for, for 0 uri and will give me back 60 abr i might think about it cause i will have to spend uri and other stuff for new upgrades but the thought of spending uri to disassemble well i guess i am being a scrooge cause not gonna do it i guess i will farm QZ cpu's and do that gate.

    I can't imagine anyone will use this. It seems like a pointless addition to the game. However, it seems equally ridiculous that DO charges 10,000 URI for a completely useless LF3. I guess they have no problem taking advantage of people who are new to their game and don't know any better.

  11. You want me to Pay Uri to disassemble something that cost uri to upgrade? You MADD??

    You should be Giving US Uri to do this!
     
  12. LOL I see your point Iron Throne but since I had like 3mill uri to burn and really needed the ABR I went ahead and got rid of all my lvl16 LF4's which gave me more than enough to finish getting all my BO3's to lvl16.
     
  13. Now I know why most of my LF3's are not in disassembly. Even though I like the general idea I do agree that the price is a bit steep. If anything it should only cost credits to disassemble and ALL items should be eligible. I never sold off my inventory because I didn't need the credits and I was waiting for something like this to be introduced.

    When you add up the cost in uri and abr just to upgrade one item to 16, makes this new feature a total joke....

    I hate to pile on, but OMG this is such a slap in the face and a ripoff of your players. I hope no one uses it, I can tell you I never will.

  16. Lucky for some of the botters who have the Uridium from afk farming. Unfortuantely, not all of us are like you, some of us get where we get by actually playing the game as intended... I guess this is just yet another feature showing that we are the true suckers.
     
  17. Freddy everyone on this US server knows 1. I don't bot . 2. I don't waste my uri on stupid designs or other nonsense. 3. I've played long enough to know how to generate a ton of uri without having to buy it. and most importantly I don't waste my time when I'm playing with chat.
    So like in life complaining about stuff you can't control is just another way of wasting valuable time and energy. No one likes bots so do what I do kill them if they die enough they quit spawning in the map your in. Also you can pop them without taking negative for it if your smart enough you will figure it out.
     
  18. Good way to get push banned.

    What a waste of time and effort with programming this feature by ruining it with greed.
    Players that have been playing for some time have lets say 40 LF4 and 40 bo2 on lvl 16. Lets say one item cost 75k U to upgrade (in old system on upgrade hour).
    80×75.000 = 6 mil. U
    To disassamble one of these items, it costs 15.000 U
    80×15.000 = 1.200.000 U
    So in return for spending 7.2 mil. you will get lousy 4.800 ABR

    Now you will want to use the ABR to upgrade the new items such as b03 and prometheus lasers.
    One item to upgrade to lvl 16 costs:
    299 ABR and 52.000 U
    But with the ABR you have from dissambling, you can upgrade only ~16 items and it will cost you additional 832.000 U!

    So overall for you to uprade 16 items to lvl 16, you will pay 2.032.000 U (1.422.400 U premium+rebate +6 mil. U from the upgraded items).

    That doesn't look that good, does it?!

    :vomit-face:

  20. Looked over the FAQ and glanced through the new disassemble tab.... wow, incredible that any of the developers would stop there, I concluded it must be the greedy owners that are pushing for this hugely expensive action to take place amongst the truly 'in-game rich' players.
    Better to pay the players uridium (50% of the accumulated cost of whatever item is to be considered) and let the non-players have the fun of incurring the advertised cost of the tear down.
