[SC] Pushing unfair for players who are not UFE

Or a ranked system where a lv.21 player pops a lv. 5 player it counts as a small % of a kill. not a full ship kill: maybe ( off the top of my head 5%) and good luck nowadays finding 20 lv. 5 ships anywhere.

 

At the same time, players that are popped excessively by the same player should not have damage mounting up on them. It has to go both ways. If the killer does not get the kill counted, the killed should not take drone damage.

 

There's a lot of options other than punishing loyal customers that are still playing this game fairly despite the empty maps and all the problems.

 

now this is beyond funny, I get a pushing violation and DO sends me this in my email:

Hello (removed by OP),

we’re sad to see that you have not logged into DarkOrbit for a long time.

We’re assuming that you decided to stop playing DarkOrbit. We absolutely respect this decision, but can we ask for one last favor: Would you tell us why you left the game? Your feedback will be tremendously helpful for us to learn what we need to improve, especially if you were dissatisfied with something that we did (or didn’t).

We’ve prepared a short survey that will not take longer than 10 minutes to complete. We’d be very grateful if you could find time to participate. Please click the button below to begin:

Start survey!

Maybe we misinterpreted the situation and you’re still playing DarkOrbit? No problem, that’s good news! In this case, we’d encourage you to take the survey anyway – you can let us know that you’re still actively playing, and we’ll only ask you a few general questions to check whether you’re happy with your DarkOrbit experience.

Your feedback is much appreciated!

Thank you,
Your Bigpoint team


All i can say is WOW REALLY??? I sent multiple emails to support with proof I was not pushing but defending my clan's CBS, and they expect me to come back after my ban is over (which it is not but got this email anyway) clearly the teams at BP/DO are not on the same page, if I really took the survey and really told them how I felt about their game, and all the things they have done to players in the past year DO would still do zip about it. THEY DON'T CARE PEOPLE!!! The fact they sent this email in the first place is reason enough not to ever come back to the game, it is like rubbing salt in an open wound...

Good luck to all that are still going to play...read the top forum post in this category about what DO have planned next. You tell me if they care about players or profits...

 

Well I waited my 60 days and I have sent a support ticket in to get my main account re-instated so I can transfer the clan to a group of players that still want to play this messed up crap game and all I hear is crickets from support, I am tempted to fill out the survey of why I have not played DO and just lay it all out. It would be pointless but it might be good to vent off the frustration of this "issue" that DO created in the first place, I have kept in touch with my members and most have said the servers are damn near dead with little or no players. And now I hear chat has been down for days just after the 3d implementation, so once again DO introduces something to the game and it blows up other stuff, when are those devs going to learn to test their crap code before releasing it to the general production servers. oh well I am SOOOO glad i am not dealing with this headache anymore. found another GREAT game and I am enjoying it more then I ever did dead orbit.

Good Hunting!!!

 

Good luck :/ don't you have a colead?

 

The email you got is sent automatically.And I have popped multiple players numerous times and never seen a warning for pushing and never got punished for it either.Obviously it takes a big number to even flag the activity, there are times ive popped 1 pilot 15 times because they just wouldn`t quit coming back and shooting me.

 

The other day I was collecting boxes in 4-3 for a while and I met enemy player with leonov, no drones and rank spacepilot. Obviously he had the 2 week premium you get after you complete starter quests. Always I killed him he instantly repaired himself at the spot or closest gate and came back to me shooting my pet. I killed him around 20 times in 5 minutes and then I had to leave the map because I thought I will be banned for sure. It's so retarded that I must leave the map in fear of "pushing" when all I do is kill the player who comes to me. It's same with botters. You just have to leave them botting because if you kill them too many times you will probably get banned too.

During infection event, which I won in ge1, I killed same players around 5 - 10 at most on same map then I always left because I though bp would just ban me for "pushing". As the OP said this is PVP game and it's annoying and absolutely retarded that you are not allowed to kill players without worrying of your account suspension.

 

Based on the players I know that got banned for pushing, the kills were combined with chat as why the decision was made and I have seen players get banned twice for the same infraction. Good Luck on the reinstatement, and next time you multi kill someone, keep it under your pilot helmet. Players are quick to boast about how much they have killed someone. Leave the kill count in your logbook. The chat has enough going on in it.

 

funny thing is I was defending the clans CBS at the time and was not even talking in chat, got popped by the same chaos player 10 times in a period of 15 mins, next day i try to log on and find out I am banned for pushing and that player only got a 7 day ban and he was in a clan that was #1 on the server i play on. things that make you go hmmmm??? either way once the account gets turned on I am transfering the clan ownership and I am done with this game.

 

Its like serials in tv they last like 7 seasons or so and when millions of people like it it will end and everybody is like why? seems to me do is trying to do the same thing. im an old player and i remember the good old days when there was alot of people in the servers and all the time company wars. now there is alliance and nonsense like that. noob should not be punished for being killed too many times. this makes this game pointless because if there is no noobs there is no game what probably can happen in near future. ok beginning to whine in here just try to enjoy the game and try to get into a good clan if you are a noob they will help you.

 

So in the end, no real point to the thread. *sigh*

 

well it has been several months since i have logged on to the server ( i fell SOOOO much better not having to do the daily log in just for a tiny amount of uri) and I see not much has changed, DO is still a game NOT worth playing anymore, pushing, cheating, and all the other stupid crap is still going on and DO is still collecting a ton of $$$ from the players left, wake up folks DO is not worth the time or the $$$ you are sinking into the game. I put in 5 years and over 6000 hours in the game and with 1 wave of DO's pushing wand all the hard work and time was wiped out 30%. BP and DO devs still have not figured out that without players the game dies, and the more players they do this too the less people will continue to play. Good LUCK all you left here to pick up the peices of this past dead game.
