DO offers no rewards for leveling up

my grandson was flying one of my younger ships and leveled it up. he asked me why there are no rewards when you level up like in other video games. like they should give you uri or a weapon, something. he saw that you needed millions and billions of ep to level at higher levels. so much playtime and grinding and no reward for your effort.

his final question was What's the point? he said he wouldn't play this game.

food for thought. i know it's been this way from the beginning. i guess i never really gave it much thought. but now that there are so many bots, getting rich and rewarded, i'm beginning to thinl What's the point?

 

We all have a masochist in us.

 

the game would be a bore if everything was done so soon, from what i understand with the right clan, you are able to take a lvl1 account and push it to lvl 24 in 48hrs, by use of a lvl6 double EP for missons and buying a ship that offers you experience with it that bumps you up to lvl 17, from there clan members aid you in pushing it to lvl 24. I missed the memo on this and am having to level up the good old fashioned way as i've spent on this account in the beginning to abandon it, but the path to Ultra Full Elite is a time consuming one so i should reach lvl24 about the same time i have all the gear too, maybe lol

 

Level 1 to 24 in 48hours? I call horse manure

 

yeah 48hrs of gameplay, the EP booster only clocks down while you play, so may be done over the course of several days but that's the word of the elite players, i doubt they would say it if not possible

 

it does not run in game hours, it run in real time. you buy it at lvl 6 then quickly buy the lvl 17 package when the obsidian boxes are on the map( that's when the promotion runs ) ,you do the bl quests and get 20 proms ( the rewards double ) then do all the ez ep quests and boom.lvl 23. 24 is kinda impossible because you have to do the pirate quests with a bunch of npcs, you can possibly do it faster by inviting every botter on the map and leach off of their kills lol. but you can definitely get to lvl 23 in 2-3 days. i did it whenever I started a new server.

 

really, the boosters i have run in game time i just assumed its the same for that, guess not, a 48hr game stint, that's commitment lol

 

yeah they run for 72 real-time hours, but you truthfully only need 20-28 hours of playing to get to lvl 23. I got to lvl 21 in 5 hours lol on my east coast acc

 

point of post was that there are no rewards given as you level like in many other games. like reach level 10 and game gives you some uri, credits or weapon.

anyway, that was my grandsons point

 

true, to get back on track... yes, they most definitely should give you some rewards/incentive that are on par with the current gameplay/level difficulty. lvl 17 and under you get 1 hyper,magma,partyd laser and 15 IAC/OIL. lvl 18 and over you start getting 1 Prome laser and 1 BO3/or 25IAC/OIL. 25 and over IDK get creative, maybe XPF XSG pet gens and lasers or 200k uri or whatever, but it is true that they should offer something other than a star going above your name for 2 seconds lol.

 

you're supposed to get the items yourself by way of the assembly, by the time you get EP and creds and Uri from grinding aliens, collecting Palladium from map 5-3 so you can do the GG's and get better assembly parts as rewards (if not paying and best to build them on the weekends when cheapest), doing daily missions and for the season free pass, doing all this takes time and eventually getting to UFE and lvl24 and beyond (all maps are available) you get a sense of achievement having done it for free, it's a game that offers alot of playability time if you're willing to achieve it

I'm new to the game and collected 22K of free energy when the sun boxes were giving 40-50 energy with the box doubler subscription,, it took 4K enegry to build alpha beta and gamma and 2K to build zeta

 

darkorbit is too old for that, they could rework it and distribute level rewards retroactively? sure.
but this game is from 2006, leveling rewards did not exist, also many boops have extremely high level and most of the quests we have for now barely cover level 26 ish while said boops are beyond level 70! imagine the nightmare of doing a level reward table for that, some players that didn't get bored and played fair for these 10+ years are about level 59~64 ish.

 

I bring good news, there are new quests on test server related to this exactly.

Dang... been playing since 2010; had been in three different clans and I am no where near a lvl24 slot... take me another 5-6 years easy. As far as the new server with UNITY, it cannot load from the usual selection box like the existing, older (non-UNITY) server. The old selection box just keeps it notice that you need to download/install unity... well, that's been done and the old server selection can show it, but it is not accepted. Need to use the UNITY supplied server selection block, but with only 400 allowed in.... doesn't look like too many new folks will see UNITY until it's deemed to be solid enough to replace the old selection box and whatever that platform was.

 

I'm levelling up much faster than i thought, am currently lvl21 with 700hrs of play, but am able to complete my missions with 135% EP boost, so atm on lvl 21 missions are like 87M, with the boosts it gives 213M EP per mission, so really does add up quickly

50% - Clan bonuses
50% - Using Uridium bank on Experience Day
10% - Buying EP02 booster for 10hrs
10% - Buying Ep01 booster for 10hrs
10% - Using a the veteran Goli with 10% EP
5% - Switching drone formation to barrage on the last kill which also adds to the mission completion reward

 

unity test will last for a month and will open 400 new slots every week, if you could not get in right now wait until next week.

there are no cbs garbo or uridium bank on unity test, you are also forgetting the SPC-XP modules that can be used with a veteran/solemn until level 16 and the XP booster from killing boss aliens.
