[SC] Easy-Hitac

Hello,
I was exited at the begin when the announcement about Frost Hitac was publicized, but now when I was playing this...It's not funny and it's not worth for me. Only the stronger player survived at Hitac, the others were shut down. And each Minion gives only 1 capsule for one player! (EDIT: Thats maybe wrong, I only see the history of my last 5 capsules) I know that everyone receive 5 capsules at the begin, but I think D O want to hand out the 112 prizes to more than 100 active players on a server.
When trying the event I dispense with my ingame-work for getting my Uridium, but I expect to earn more Uri than normal or maybe some nice items as LF4 etc. , because it's an event. But what was happened? I earn LESS Uri than before, get no items AND I was killed for so many times.
So I think about the following idea to have more fun:

• delete the Cargo-letters/-capsules
• everyone who take part in killing the Hitac (minion) have a chance for getting a letter/capsule with the actual Cargo items dependant on:
  • your damage you dealt (max:500.000)
  • OR how long you attacked the Minion (max.75seconds)
  • the chance begins at 0%, but it will be increased by attacking and dealing damage
  • the highest chance is 15%, which will be reached, if you dealt 500000 damage or attack 75 seconds
  • if the Hitac change the map, you attack another target, which isn't a Hitac or Hitac minion, or stop attacking it for more than 20 seconds, the chance will be reset to 0%, if it isn't negative
  • if you kill a player during this time, your chance decreased to -30%, you won't get any letters/capsules, until you fill the chance counter to 0%

This penalties should stop the hunters killing their own or other companies and oppressing the smaller players. If you are too weak, you can still play this event, you only have to attack long enough.
What do you think about this idea, or do you even think it's not necessary to change anything in this event?

I know that everyone receive 5 capsules at the begin

eh do they I must of missed that



just checked ive not had an email or nothing since Halloween 2015 , I havnt change any settings guessing they don't like me lol

 

I received the last 5 free capsules some months ago before Halloween.

 

I just realised I have not received any capsules whatsoever either, and I must say it's quite disappointing

 

Everybody got those due to problems as compensation. Since there is no problems this time there is no compensation.

 

I'm fe and I'm able to hitac just fine.

The changes the devs made for this frost hitac were really good like increasing the number of rewards and making minion letters based on who got the kill as well as top 10 damage hitters get the main capsule. I can't speak for all servers but it seems that people prefer to not lose their lock on minion or the their damage on mothership just to kill you. I'd say its fair except maybe the capsules should give stuff better than ammo which u can get from boxes.

 

no1 got any free caps some account had the old caps from last hitac and the 5 on my noob was removed

 

i do see a few problems with this 1

top 10 players who deal the most dmg get 1 box each and only them can see it so people with full lf4s getting a chance of more lf4s how dose that help noobs?

i no its a pvp game but noobs dont get a look in and its for them more then ufes i mean an idea to add on for noob could be when u pop a minion and go 2 pick it up a box pops up take/gift so u can help the noobs out

 

I made a suggestion a couple of years ago regarding HITAC and own company killing, if some or all HITAC ships appeared on x-2 maps it would instantly prevent the ufes or near ufes killing the newer players and stopping them joining in. I know on some servers where clans will do HItacs and each time a couple of their players will be guards and kill anyone else own company or not that come near them. Some will send war seconds before they do to prevent neg honor.
A simple solution, easily implemented that can make the event open for everyone.

 

Do you mean "boxes for everyone"?=>event for everyone

I don't think players with millions of honor care about it. It's better if they will be removed from Hitac event OR stop getting the prizes/boxes for a short time (2 days). They scare away the "noobs" and ruined the fun of event.

I don't really understand why they still try to catch the boxes, Ufe is the end level, then you can be graceful and let the noobs collceting the boxes. But now it's D O, where sardistic egoism is unlimited.

 

That`s an interesting idea for hitac there not sure if DO would do that tho with the crazy stuff not being taken care of atm.

And DO is enforcing the pushing rules which means anybody popping any player multiple times will get banned for pushing ...along with the acc they were constantly popping off the hitac.So its kinda good, then really bad lol.Just let the noobs get banned then you can hit hitac since support is irritated at me killing a pet 3 times im sure 5 player kills in the same map would make em just as flamed to ban someone.

Strange how the game is, if you fight to much even in defense you get banned....so let the hunters duke it out and get banned so you dont.....That really is odd, especially for a pvp game

 

the just need to make 2 hitac, ships.. 1 in low maps, for low level players, and 1 i high maps, for all..
really easy to do.

 

Hitacs really do need a revamp. I don't even bother to do Hitacs anymore because they are basically a waste of time. There are much better and more certain ways to get stronger (palla, boxing, picking booty etc).

BP should make the Hitac event more profitable e.g. like Spaceball or Ice Meteroids. For example every time a minion or the main Hitac mothership is destroyed a bunch of cargo should spawn just like scoring a goal in Spaceball containing (for example; uridium, galaxy gate spins, chance of a letter).

 

I agree they need changing, i didnt get any capsules after trying and trying.

 

It is a pvp game and really its not just fe players that get popped from it, on my server 1 clan aimed to take it over, there wasnt really anyone targeting lower players just for the easy exp, there probably should be more events to help unequipt players to get better equipment but hitac has never been one to help really, and as they lowered the amount of uridium dropped they just encouraged people to hunt on it.

 

Why is there an PvE event only to be shot off it Oh it's a PvP game

 

THE event is good just the way it is. work together or get in a group

 

Are you joking? The event is not good its flawed just like the other events. This game is dying/dead. New players just hope in and can get popped almost instantly by stronger players. UFEs just dominate and pick on newbies. Unlike other games there is no protection whatsoever for new players. It takes years to farm in order to get to their level.

Working together or getting in a group implies that you have spent some time in the game already and know what you're doing. Even then you'll get popped

Rewards for everything are crap.

 

It does need a change I mean made it for wallet warriors its an event for them and they already have full lf4 lol like what a joke Do u got me.

 

What i meant was, IT'S AS GOOD AS IT'S GONNA GET. DO doesn't care if its not fair for noobs, just like SpaceBall, ScoreMageddon, Sector control, UBA, Influence, Infection... all these events have been out for 1-7 years and they never made them easy for noobs. So what makes you think they will change the hitac event?
