building a gate jinx....

no, it's not really a jinx.... i have seen other posts here from others getting tired of how hard it is to get a gate built... they noticed it TOOK FOREVER nowadays to get this game to finish a gate off for you. of course there were some who said it is no different ( fools or DO employees) for i have noticed that myself the last 6 months or so... right around the time the big price increase hit us ( shortly after all the botters were removed from the game, leaving a huge cash decrease for DO.)

well i tell ya what, after pouring over 1,000 spins into getting a zeta gate done that only needed 10 parts ( thats not counting the 1,500++ to get that far) and STILL NEED THREE MORE, i am done wasting my time here....

oh yea!!! one thing i did noticed was HOW GENEROUS the galaxy gate generator has become in doleing out PLENTY OF XENOMITE !!!!! nothing like going through the trouble of grabbing palla, or worse yet, spend hard earned cash watching your GG generator had you trinkets of xenomite by the boatload!!! it's around 20% these days, i been watching my crappy spins and just LOVE using 5 multipliers on a spin and seeing how LUCKY i was to get all that extra xenomite, lol, WOHOOOOO!!! how fortunate for me!!!!!!

let's be truthful with people, call it the Xenomite Generator and just stick your hands out and say "EVEN WITH the -25% uridium booster, we still want $25-$35 for this crappy game to unlock a gate for ya!!!"

used to be a fun game, trying to catch up with the rich kids or those who had spent the hours building a great ship,.... didn't bother me i was 2 years behind those guys... spent a few hundred bones trying to catch up, spent hundreds & hundreds of hours in the palla map, ALL TO HAVE 10 LOUSY LF-4's after 15 months of playing and 1,900 hours of LIFE wasted ---- that's 1 LF-4 every month and a half!!!

a game of chance is not all that fun for those people who end up on the short side of the stick most of the time and with game owners hoping these poor unfortunates will have bank accounts big enough to overcome the odds against them... well i got a newsflash for ya, not happening anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and here's some free advise....... RAISE PRICES AGAIN!!! make the game even harder for the newer players to have some fun in it. make it NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to compete with older players and just keep getting ganked all the time with little to no hope of EVER EVENING THE ODDS a little bit........

see how fast you can keep chasing away players.............

bye bye dark orbit forever

 

One long ass rant

 

What a long text ... o_o

Agree with you. Dark Orbit makes even harder to compete with other players. Just 6-7 months ago , Starter Pack was the best feature for beginners. But this one isn't enough now.

But well , Dark Orbit is a perseverance game. If you work hard , you will get your reward. But well , now hard-working isn't enough. You need to pay to game.

 

I just play the game, going my way. I have 700+ hours of game time and still have done only one alpha gate. I don't complain nor do I spend money on the game. I don't know why you guys are ranting about DO's negativity, but probably its because you expect better results and/or don't get your value for spending money on the game. It's better to not look at what you don't have and look at what you do have.

 

Put it this way, If they have changed it, it's harder for everyone. Takes me several months to build a gate and I don't spend anything. Totally agree that something fishy is going on with the spins, I tend to get heck loads of xenomit now more than before.
Nothing we can do. Obviously BP will say, the probability is as it is.. and no matter what, we don't have conclusive proof of it being different.

The only we can do is petition to remove some of the crappy stuff they give for gg spins. e.g REMOVE xenomit

 

i flew with centurion and i sorry to see you go brother. your one of the good ones.

 

39/120 kappa parts bought 1500 spins and no kappa gate, what a waste. is the spins broken. I think u should get one gate for 1500 spins.

 

crying crying crying, thats all i hear lol. When will players just play and stop whining about every little thing in this game? Yes it can be better, yes somethings make no sense, yes it costs uri to do most things, but guess what, its how the game was made. If it bothers players this much, then as seraphim said, get a petition going. JUst like how the rewards for domination was changed after it was originally given, the same can be done with this. But leaving and stuff like that doesnt help the game. If you want change, then you have to do something about it, not just walk away.

 

I haven't heard of someone getting a krappa with that few spins. I'd estimate at least 2000-2500.

 

2 of the last 28 Kappa gates I put together took less than 1500 spins.

 

You guys should look at El_Burro's and other peep's threads on when to use GG Multipliers. Real, freaking helpful, I got Zeta in about 800ish spins.

 

Before you go think about this. When I first started building Kappas It took me
2200 to 2800 spins to build it. Had to realize I was going about it all wrong. So I
started using 2x multiplier immediately. That alone dropped me below 2000. The
next thing was using 5 spins up to 70 gate parts then 1 spin for the rest. I have
now built several Kappas for 1200 to 1300 spins avg 1500 to 1800. If you strategize when you build gates you do it pretty quickly and at a reasonably cost.

Right now I'm in a vengie with pet and resource collector and a few radars. It has
over 300k hps,1 mill in shields and can palli more than 1500 in 30min. With this set
up and strategy it take me about 7 to 8 hours palling to build Kappas.ATM Kappa #21 452 spins 61/120.

Tbh alot of us know how frustrating it can be but we still try to have some fun and try to accomplish a few goals along the way. Well now, If you do decide to go ahead and
quite. Don't forget to transfer sep daily.You might just come back one day.

 

Long rant but couldn't agree more my 7 lf4 have come from 1400 hours of playing over I think 650 days. Takes time but takes time to crawl up the ranking as well.

 

I am going to do an experiment on 100 spins and see the results.

 

my odds on my last kappa was 200k uri to make it and it already had 55 parts

 

Please read this before you draw any conclusions from your little experiment:
1.4 Why dont I get 13% gate parts from the GGG

 

I just built a kappa in 82000 uri
El_Burro's thread that he posted above has helped me maximize the amount of gates I can build in as little amount of uridium as possible.

 

No offense here, but as a non-native speaker I dont get any of your comments.
I mean I understand the words, but although I tried really hard I never really get the point you are trying to make. Or isnt there any point in most of your comments?

 

all you need really is rebate and prem and then you can pretty much open a zeta/kappa a day like i did with zetas.

 

Lolz El Burro It's a special kind of humor
