    all the usual botting accounts that you can see ,non have been banned on ge5 ,those you cannot see such as in the gg's have not been banned also . Meanwhile in venus bl map there are dozens of attends where the mindfire should be or is ,so it has obviously been botted and still is with train usage on it today .
     
  2. LOL everyone must have got an e-mail saying trains are good to go again as the server is flooded everyone has one now, is the new upgraded DO nobody has to play they can all run bot's and trains without perma bans good job!!!
     
  3. i understand if they ban everyone there be no 1 left yet these who abuse day in day out for a crappy badge isnt allowing som of us even to compete .everytime theres a event the botts lag the hell out of game ..in som ways i dont blame them for cheating but give us honest 1s a chance in game..i say this ie game is far to dear to buy stuff i use to spend loads now i earn everythink in my free time to prove a point its possible .dark ornit ie bigpoint or who ever owns it now really need to stop banning the noobs and hit hard on events wer so many take millions of uri gate threw bots and god knows wat else its a joke end off ..14 years of playing on and off i have records and they do not keep to t and cs there selves we have players mods smods who have a noth prove to shut em down threw there lies trust me they need to pull there fingers out of there back sides and sort it or ip banss they can foget that it will hit home and they will be getting locked up and sadly this game will end
     
  4. Ya like all the spearheads flying around in moth, you shoot them and they take little to none damage and they hit clear through your shields and wipe you out easily funny wonder if they just make their own modules?
    I would like to know how to get some of those seems some players don't matter what ship they use they are all faster stronger and somehow lock you while cloaked or in the middle of a pact they seem to have the ability to write their own program for BP and run it!!!
    Game is just out of control one can't tell anymore who is legit and who is running all the cheats and trains gaining massive to build their accounts isn't fair to any player.
    Although we all know talking about it isn't doing anything they just keep creating more bot's to use for trains and BP does nothing to them when they get caught so why stop there isn't any punishment for them just false threats from BP that never follow through!!!

    "Players that could be detected again after being warned during one of the last ban waves get their account permanently closed. But this warning is not necessarily done when we detect players breaking the T&C several times during the detection period. In this case, the account will be closed without any warning."

    At least to me, that sounds like they are giving perma bans out... but clearly still just not enough(well also in general of detecting/catching then banning them etc). Though still better than it used to be, when there wasn't regular ban waves unless were happening without any announcements. (at least in the sense doing it more regularly)

  7. Its so laughable. ANY player can see the issues on the HITAC in b-maps. If you just watch the hornets swarming on the 1 attack. The Hitac melts under the combined fire.

    Spearheads can roll up and pop Fully upgraded ships with no issue.

    There hasnt been any game moderation in a long while.

    soory i disagree with you there was none on the server thhat play on banned on that wave ,and onloy a total of 10 across all servers to the best of my knowledge . all i have seen since that last ban wave is loads of new bots appear with names at least i have never seen on the maps before . unlerss of course perm bans do not show up on do stats .. ONE THING the darkorbit team could do is to announce offiacially on the forums who has been banned and who is on warnings .. WHICH they should do but NEVER do .
     
  9. |..Im sure the game knows and is allowing these BOTS to continue in this game.. But set some of those BOT players in 5-2 maps, And for them to AUTO ACCEPT INVITES to groups. This "Silent Sabotage" quest is pretty insane of 17,500 Saboteur kills. At least have the BOT CHEATERS benefit us by auto destroying the NPC as help..|

    Keep your BOT PLAYERS..

    HAVE THEM AUTO ACCEPT INVITE TO GROUP....

    just so people know ,i posted a video here which was within the guidelines ,so there was no need for moderators to remove it .. it was a video showing train usage . Yet it was removed . Told support i had posted the video here and they said they would pass it on to the game team . so did the game team tell the mods to remove it .

    The proper response from the game team would be to post here ,these players have been permanently banned from playing and any others caught would be too .

    Not to remove the video and try to hide the fact that they either allow it or are
    inadequate at there job .
    CORRUPT GAME in anycase when they remove proof postings !

  12. Came back after several months break and literally nothing has changed. Same old bots and maps are empty from any actual players. It's a shame to see the Devs actually give up with this game. How can such a game which once upon a time use to thrive and have such a huge online presence be reduced to nothing but same old bots? Can't even get cubes anymore without having botters leech, I wouldn't honestly mind if another player wanted to leech cubes but the fact there are probably a dozen if that actual players on GE5 left which is honestly really sad. I regret all the money I had spent on this game and the thousands of hours put in to just to see it falter this badly. I think the Devs have no intention of getting rid of the bot users and marketing the game to appeal to new players anymore, is this the beginning to the end of a once great game?

    Here is how another game I play deals with cheats. If only the devs here cared they would do similar!

    'The security team is committed to maintaining a fair gaming experience,and will impose appropriate restrictions on those found to be cheating or in breach of our terms of service.

    As developers, we understand the importance of ensuring a safe and fun environment for players. As such, we adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards anyone found to be in violation of our game rules.This includes, but is not limited to, the use of plug-ins, illegal software, inappropriate behaviour, malicious use of exploits or bugs, etc. Once such behaviour is discovered, we will immediately launch an investigation and take appropriate action. This includes, but is not limited to, permanent account bans, lP bans notification inside and outside the game, etc.

    At the same time, we also invite players to actively report inappropriate behavior in the game through reporting channels provides as well as through the community, in order to maintain a fair and healthy gaming environment.

    This week (May 5 - May 11, 2025), our security team took action against 1375 players, imposing bans of up to 10 years. Specific measures included 356 DMA bans, 778 devices blocked, 9796 cheating attempts stopped in real time, and 7445 players forced offline for cheating. Warned 1105 players for teaming with cheaters; banned and recovered 102 accounts.
    Mobile:
    133 players who received 10-year bans,308 cheating attempts stopped in real time.

    We hereby confirm that we will continue to take action against all violation accounts in real time. We ask all Operators to abide by the rules of the game, and to help maintain a healthy and fair game environment for everyone!

    The following is a list of some of the accounts we have taken action against on this occasion.
    *These are listed in no particular order.'

    Nicely said AZARAMEUS, on other games i have played also the game developers can be approachable on forums ,and they would be posting updates on what they are working on and asking how to improve the gameplay ,IF they did that here i bet pounds players would be shouting out ban these cheats and bots . Its sad this does not happen on darkorbit .

    Also this selling and buying of accounts needs to be addressed . yrs back that was looked at ,now not at all . IP adresses were banned when i first started to play this game .

    Couldnt agree more mate .we have been taken for a ride !
    And whts sad is that the old players/decent sorts have quit the game coz of it .. i may have warred them but they were decent sorts ,its a game .

    Now is kinda alot of trash peeps playing and most always will be botting too

  15. Bot trains are back in huge numbers in GE5 (GB1)

    I reported the very 1st instance of their return with video evidence, after 3 weeks only 1 of them got a ban.
    There are whole clans now just using BOT Trains, The players know who they are, Support knows exactly who they are
    this begs the question, Why is nothing done about it?

    The recent mini ban was insulting to normal players.. The main culprits who are ruining the
    game and slowing down the already outdated servers were not banned.

    Is there a certain understanding between Bigpoint and certain Clans/Players?
    Players/Support know the players creating accounts with the sole intension of those accounts being sold,
    is this being allowed in the hope that the new owners will spend money?
    Are bans based on the amount of money certain players spend?
    Have the rules been relaxed or bans limited out of fear of having dead servers ?

    Please dont delete, please edit and remove the parts you feel are breaking the forum rules
    as I am also chatting to a member of staff at yoozoo games on wechat
    who also wants to know some of the feed back/answers.

    not sure if this player is one but on 5-3 map was picking up pallidum like 5 in 1 to 2 sec takes about 1 sec for each one or 2 secs [REMOVED] . mod might want to look into his account see how fast he/she is making spins.

    Darkorbit has become a bot /sell /buy game to feed usrs drugs habits . In all honestly the game should be banned .
    Im not naive and know that most games has some bots .. but this game is RIDICULOUS
     
  18. Seems the bots were out of action for more than 24 hours, what ever BP did it shows it is possible from their end to stop the bots. All the clan battle stations were clear with no auto CBS building/bots ruining all the other maps too.

    It was hilarious earlier watching some of the top botting clans trying to get lock in the PVP maps without their usual paid for box of tricks, They are absolutely hopeless without them :D .

    Soon as BP changed something or the BOT developers updated something (maybe they are the same people), the bots were back and all the sad and pathetic players set up their CBS bots again!

    Its not so many years ago that BP used to investigate IPs and who was controlling what account, and taking harsh action accordingly. Iv seen people openly admitting bot usage in global chat now, nothing is ever done.

    Without pretending none of this happening or putting your fingers in your ears and going "lalalalalalala", When are these bot clans going to get permanently banned?
