i think its wrong the noobs have no choice but to be killed anytime someone wants to kill something.

ok im kinda new but not i havent played in over a year i dont have my old account so i had to start over i get killed at least 10 to 12 times a day just because i cant defend myself and because i have no choice whether i wanna pvp or not so my game play gets interupted every day all day because someone sees an easy target..am i the only one who has issues with this? dont get me wrong there is a time and place for pvp but why do i and many other noobs like me have to just take it ?it took me almost a year to make my old account fully elite .... unless you have a credit card or bank account which some of us do not its very time consuming to get to that point to where you can defend yourself ...so why cant we choose whether or not we want to pvp... because otherwise it almost seems like the bigger players dont want you to gain xp,honor,lvl s so this is mainly for the admin people if they even will let me post this or read it when i try to post i will take feedback pos and neg its all good soo thank you ....b.r.vanaken(aka)Forsaken(deth)or (bos)

 

its the part of the game get used to it dont start crying i am also a free player and i also faced this
but now i am a ageis with 7 havoc daimond formation and after u become fe u will go for hunt for these target only

 

What u said u lost 3 havoc
Evil Hell!!

 

not cryin bro just seems pretty one sided if u think about it you guys have all that power and instead of trying to help a noob you guys just kill us on the reg...you kill us and the steal the alien kill we were almost done with... then its sixty sec just to regen our shield IF we have a rep bot 4 then depending on what map we were on...well u get the pic very time consuming for those who just wanna do the little missions and maybe lvl up..but if you get killed every ten mins well i dont know i mean it seems to have gotten worse im on the eic maps most often and get killed by peeps from my own company ...why was i in their area i mean ***? then vru and mmo r everywhere .. so its very hard to even be able to complete a mission in one day im online almost ten hours a day and im lucky if i can complete 2 missions..so you tell me how does that sound to you ? i even joined a clan in hopes that it would garner me some protection an that didnt do a thing .. so you can think im cryin but you arent the one having to spend 10 hour just to complete 2 easy missions.. its easy to say you have been there but how long ago do you even remember the frustration? anyway thanks for the feedback......FORSAKEN(DETH)

 

hey it like you giving up i also just become fe by doing quests and i know wehn u get killled b it but evertime u get killed u get to know something take the npc near the port then kill for starters use leneov and if ur comapny is weak just go in the biggest company its not that bad well i get used to it and at my time rep was not free it cost 500uri or rep credit so it was worse then you but it all about tactics and whats ur gaming style

 

It's a part of the game, everyone went through it at one point or another, it is PvP game, crowding into one company leads to more inner company wars and fighting over Npc's, you should find a clan to help you build up and do quests, safety in numbers of course, a Leo can be a good ship if your constantly in lowers but your an easier target but if you were a Goli in lowers you'd be more of a target.

 

ok well thanks guys for the feed back.. ...its all good just got whacked for the upteenth time lol...
if anyone comes up with anymore feedback shoot it i will b watching and thanks again.....forsaken(deth)

 

its just the game today its too unbalanced , even in a fe goli your chances of getting away from a ufe are near nil ( unless u spend on emps etc ) . plenty of decent free play games coming online soon and then i think dark orbit will have seen the end as its pretty well already dead . Most my clans quit and tbh im not gonna be around long neither it just gets worse ...

 

Thank you all for your input in to this players thread, however this is not a technical issue, it is a General question. Threrefore this thread is being moved to an area where it is open for discussion with others.

As for Newer players who are being repeatedly killed. This is as previously mentioned, something that every player at one time or another went through. The larger the servers get... the more people attempting the new quests and interacting. Ship kills are part of that.

We generally tell smaller players to try to get into a clan that you can grow with as well as have help to defend against larger players.

I wish you the best of luck within the game. Have faith, you will get to a point where you are not a target... but a the killer.

Have a great day

This game has catered to the new players, for most of us long time players, there was no x-1 dmz, no outfit so if 3 guys wanted to do 200 quest that meant 600 sibs and days of work, not 200 sibs in a couple hrs as it is today. When many of us started playin we would get popped 5-10 times just tryin to leave x-1 map, if you dont like poppin you are free to play any game you wish no one is forcing you to play DO.

Trust me it is much easier today than it was 4 yrs ago, and with the new quests leveling will go much faster for the new player than it did for us 4 yrs ago. Took me 4 yrs to get 6 bil ep, I have put on 1 bil in 2 days with new quests.

PVP games arent for everyone.

 

Truth from COWBOY. Back in the day, we had it waaay harder than you do now. What I did was, get a leo, bid on a cloak, and then box all the time I'm on. You then buy/bid on B02s and G3Ns. Invest into pilot bio and get shield engineering. I spent most of my time working on defensive things, and I am now an aegis that can has around 550k shield on my running config.

 

Someone needs to be killed, and Players that pay for game need something to shoot at.
The name of the game is called work your way out of being a TARGET. That is why the game is free we need things to shoot at

 

This is a PvP game so sucks to be you... We all died as noobs, yet noobs have it easier now with the pushing system and more protection, yet you all cry still.

 

I can agree that everyone faced rough time's in the game but why does everyone seems to think the game was worse back them for building a ship and being a target, nowadays's your cannon fodder for ex-bots and instant popped in a Goli, bids are easier but after your FE you could spend years building up and might never reach Ufe.
The quests make leveling easier but what's the point of a high level if your ship still sucks? The pushing system doesn't prevent people from popping the same ship but just decreases the rewards over time which some don't even care about.

 

at the risk of making your thread sound like a broken record, it happened to all of us when we were noobs. part of bigpoints goal is to get you to spend money. frustration is a good motivator for some. there has been many changes in the dark for free players recently, but i wouldn't say those changes help you survive. they just allow you to get stronger faster then you could before the changes were made. i will admit that we had it easier when i started, but back then a goli hit around 20k even with prom on lasers.

 

Hello Forsaken(deth)

Thank you all for assisting with this thread.

Do you (the original poster) have any further questions or can we close?

 

from experience i think u should not shot at a cube unless there are tons of people
usually people hit wach other if u shot at a cub which is already taken and then u ghave the main guy shooting at every1 becz he does not like to share the reward so in future dont shoot at cube becz u might get poped by some UFE who want to do alone Cube

 

Back in the day, us older players had it hard to build our ships up but, had it was easy for us to survive on maps outside of X1/X2...Now days noobs have it hard at surviving anywhere out of port, despite all the new update of which were implemented to try and help out the noobs. So i guess players from back then and now hard it , but from different perspectives

 

Talking about Back in the day, lol, not as easy as it is today U guys have it made, you could not leave port without getting popped, enemy were swarming around like sharks in the x 2 and lower maps. There was more players then and some players had peanuts that could fight 5 or 6 FE's at once and was very hard for new players to do NPC quest without enemy lurking nearby ready to shoot u down. So you guys are lucky in away.

 

Start a new account, start building it up, leave your x-1 and start getting slaughtered by ex-bots while trying to completely quests, you might get a Goli and soem equipment or an iris but what come's after basic Fe? With the way the game is and the prices, new players certainly don't have it easier because they'll never get past basic Fe.

 

I challenge you to start a new ship today and get it to lvl 17 then come back on the forum and repost what you have just posted.

In the early day I could compete against a WW with a 3 Iris veng I could 2v1 inexperienced golis in my 3 iris veng and rarely if even popped back then.

It is not about EP that make the game playable it is all the elite equipment and consumables.

You really need to start a new ship and see what it is really like for a new player before posting such an ill-considered post.
