[SC] Assembly update

normal npc , boss npc and uber npc all drop same amount of ore.. drops should be more for tougher npcs
like, normal npc drop 1 ore . boss drop 2 ore and ubers drop 3 or 4 ores

 

I dont know am I really happy about this update or not. It's great to see once again that all maps are full of players shooting normal aliens instead of only cubicons. And therefore our unactive server became much more active than before.

I can handle the drop rate and now (because boss- and uber aliens have pretty good dropchance) i also understand why it shouldn't be 100% chance to get new crafting materials: aliens are also dropping regular cargo loots which are important for some missions. Seems like that it will be really hard to get full green phantom drone set because aliens can only drop 1 material at time. It's also sad that pet- bonusbox protocols and bbd (bonusbox doubler) wont work at all (and pets can't even collect crafting materials) and neither resource boosters.

But we are missing something. I don't want to compare darkorbit with other games, but some games are giving free samples when they are introducing something new. Like in LOL crafting system: they gave free stuff to all players (1 chest, 1 key) so they could try the new feature at least once. Players can also get these stuff from playing the game or buying them with real money (and getting these stuff from games are not GARENTEED(old garen joke i know...)). I know that we have test server which can be used as testing stuff, but not all players are able to take a part in test server (and some players doesn't even know that it even exists!)

Now it's really annoying time in darkorbit: endless lags because of the new feature. So how about giving players some compensation after all of this? Just give us some free crafting materials that we could make either 1 cosmetic drone design or just save them for future plans. I think this could make all players happy for shure

 

The basic idea is very good, BUT this is ruined. Droprate of plasmid is insanely low (i playd like 4-5h and got only 10 of those = 10 per day i would get in the end of launch 140.... ITS NOT EVEN HALF OF THE 500 NEEDED TO PUSAT! ..yeah thanks bp for ruining my chance for pusat from this event, i so much waited this.

These ore amounts would be understandable IF aliens would drop always the ore (so they would drop ore and cargo), then it would be acceptable but like it is now, im very dissappointed.. should i start to think about closing my wallet for bp? hmm.. maybe

 

This would be nice...

The drop rate is a too low, hopefully they fix the lags and increase the drop rate in the next week.

 

Currently NO ONE is benefiting from the crafting system, as the lag prevents us from picking up the ORE and Pet does not collect it for us. The fact that this is a REPLACEMENT for the normal cargo boxes is not going to help the NEW players, they depend on the CARGO for their credits for AUCTION. Oh well MAJOR FAIL on the entire game at this point.

Well at this point lets just take the CARGO out of the game altogether, we now have Green, Red, Blue (Chests), Crafting Ore, and whatever else D O wants to drop instead of cargo, causing issues with QUESTS and the ability to earn Credits for killing NPC's.

IMO they need to stop taking the Cargo Drops away from those needing the credits and ADD these other items to the CARGO drop not take them away. Have the Cargo show and if it is also a Chest then it flashes between both items, same with the new ORES. The NEW players need the credits to build their ship and to keep taking the Cargo away from them slows their progression even more, forcing even more players away from the game.

 

lol your funny eT3RnitY in the Q&A seasion 2 they said IT STABLE TECHNOWLEDGEY

i and many lol at this comment we all know there lieing and this should have been fixed ages ago

So, instead of trolling here and 'giving up the game' well this is a forum for feedback and chat and thats what people are doing

 

this didn happen on the open test server so it was stable

once the dust settles down and things r normal again i think it will b easier to have a idea about this crafting stuff

 

Hm, DDos has nothing to do with the stable technology. You get low FPS, because there was a DDos attack going on. It is not because of the assembly feature.

Read more here about DDos.

To be clear again: I NEVER stopped someone from giving feedback. I am just clarifying why they have low FPS. In the end, if someone doesn't want to hear the truth, let it be. I won't argue here, nor give lessons about DDoS attacks.

I don't know what ages issues you talk about, but the assembly feature was released yesterday. And DO, or BigPoint can't do much about stopping DDoS attacks.

So, instead of accusing me for something, try to learn what is DDoS and understand what I have said in my post. It is always easier to accuse someone about something, but it is hard to learn something new.

 

erm yes they can its call a company that specializes in ddos attack and and if it was the severs would be down

 

Well, yeah. It is true that there are companies that help with this issue. DO was still running while there was attack going on (no one can say the opposite, I was playing at the same time). But, it is not possible to 100% mitigate the attack (users will always experience the issues of the attack in game). No company can do that because of the nature of the attack.

 

The drop rates are fine .
i've been getting 1/4 or so for scrap that seems fine?
The lag issue has already been reported like 1000 times i heard they are working on it.
And yes its pretty stupid that you can only get the cargo from lvl11 + they should fix this really quick.

 

definetly not. (if nothing has yet been done for them) how can ~10-15 plasmid per 4-5h gameplay be fine droprate in your opinion..
noit everyone has even that much time to play per day and if we consider playing everydaythat much, you still couldnt get enough for even pusat lol

mucosum and prismatium have very good droprate but scrap(dropped pretty well) req. is way too big compared to drops and the plasmid is the biggest joke in the craft system with the ultimately lowest drop % (no way to gather 500-1150 plasmid during the event from aliens, just not possible even by playing half day everyday)

+ ores still not in shop!

 

I've killed like 20 kristallin and gotten 5 plasmid...
spend like 1 hour killing mordon etc i got like 100 scrap already.
Keep in mind me being lvl 13 scrub also dying bout 15 times in that time...
Maybe they arent that good but i cant say they are terreble...
playing 1 or 2 hours a day killing them should be enough to get at least 1 of the things you want at the end of the event.
and yeh they should just add dem ores already.

 

pls stahp.... kristallin drops prismatium not plasmid D

 

I noticed that i was wrong xD.
mixed them up.

 

I really liked the Assembly System on the test server. Everyone had plenty of everything to create what they wanted. Unfortunately I didn't for see DO not giving anyone starting materials. Not to mention there is nothing on the system I need or want. Once again DO can't just do something in a launch for the players. Like this "special" weekend coming up to make up for the past 48 hours of crap.

In the items DO will be doing for the players there isn't one thing listed that will benefit players without it costing money. Some will say the extra Experience boost, but I get that with the Boosts I fight for in Trade. DO must be a dying game because DO can't just give players ANYTHING! No starting crafting materials. Not even one blueprint to an LF4 that we can build. Now we have to go all over to get materials in the hopes that one day DO will put an LF4 on the Assembly System to try and correct the in balance in the game. I keep hoping DO will change, and that at some point they will think of the players that have supported them for Years, some (like myself) who have been there since year one. But no, DO only thinks of themselves and how things can benefit there bottom line.

 

I do understand what you mean... I only want the Surgeon from the Assembly and if they extended the event by 3 weeks I dont know if I could do it... So I am guessing they will offer rocks for sale later .... LF4 was supposedly in and Surgeon out but .. oh well nevermind ... I always do my best withing the parameters of the game without cheating (and I cant pay too much) and I dont hold out much hope with the offer as it stands...

 

Well we all know on the TEST they give us everything we need to be able to do what they want us to do but don't always allow us to do a FULL test of what is being added, last Test for Assembly had cargo issues and we could not collect it and drop rates were way off scale 1:60.

It would be nice to see the Test server up for a week and the entire Update be tested before it is sent live to try to head off these major issues before it effects the game like it did this time.

 

That is correct 1, 2 or 3 ores when shooting a normal, boss and/or uber. A uber is three times harder so...the cargo does this - now it is the ores turn
