[SC] Ranting

I remember back in the day when darkorbit was...different...better.
Though i understand that the developers want to make the game 'fair', i do not understand some of the decisions that they make.
Such as:

• 250.000 uridum for cosmetic design -->what's the point?
• drop rate from aliens is way too low(scraps and such)

They obviously don't give a **** about the players, yes it's a business but still, just give us something. Oh wait, i wrong, they do care...about our wallets

Honestly, i understand that so many players use programs (whichever type of program), you want to build a gate?-->spend all your valuable time in palla map, or become brain dead from endless farming of aliens for scraps of rewards, or give us your money.

don't tell me this is a pvp game, it's hardly fair, the programs (and before the LoW bug) gave us the chance to fight back....but you ruined it for everyone

If i'm right, they will probably remove this before many read this, they might even ban me for ranting about their precious 'project'.

 

The only thing that i would add to this is like you said is only cosmetic so who cares, it doesn't give any bonuses so why would you think it would be a benefit to have it? Also the event boxes are great they offer free ammo and uridium also EE i mean if your having a hard time making uri or ammo in the game right now your doing something wrong. I think since the event started just from collecting event boxes i could have gotten any design i would want. Enjoy

 

its not all about power 1 thing you are not thinking about is the players ... its about everyone having there own look and having fun not about who has the most power only people with egos go that far like me / and i still get the comics

 

i agree good idea.other thing i wanted bring up was whats happening about jackpot battle spent hours getting my boxes for battle yet almost 1 year and not seen it feel like i been ripped off what they doping

 

oh don't give me that it's not about power, ...it most certainly is, the power to incur fear into your enemies as you enter the map. To have them run before you even start your offensive ...I'm finally at that stage with full havoc and about 20 lf4 fully upgraded...Yet it seems that the developers are actually convinced that it's a good idea to lure players (or tempt) to waste their hard ear,ed uridium on something that at the end of the day doesn't help you one bit in combat.

I'm not demanding much, i'm not even asking for any favors, i would just like to point out that they are actually making us (because it can't be that i'm alone in this regard) hate the game. And i'm not fun when i hate the game, maybe, just maybe i will start popping beginning players (even from my own company) out of spite, that'll teach the game and if they quit, maybe it'll hurt the wallet of BP....Just kidding, but it makes you think, because we CAN do that, but won't...at least not yet

 

Your right, just a rant here. Players began hating the game years ago as it was just too much drama going on. Add the power mentality to the mix and players are like "Why am I here?" My question is what is the point to your rant. Its about the 50th or so I have seen on this same subject and you know what comes next? Another design... Then you come back talking about "just maybe i will start popping beginning players (even from my own company) out of spite, that'll teach the game and if they quit, maybe it'll hurt the wallet of BP." That don't hurt the wallets of BP. Beginning players have not spent enough for BP's radar to move in the first place. You ever watch Twitch? Everytime someone complains about designs, all they do is roll their eyes, laugh, and move on. You should do the same. Either your going to be a NOOB Popper or not. Trust me, we all have something we whine and cry about, me included. But the design direction is not going to change and lets face it, how many more power items are actually needed to pop somebody?

 

don't you see, that's the problem right there... their indifference towards a complain (or rant) that has been posted so many times.
is it arrogance? i don't know, but what i do know is this: this is the only online game that i have ever played where the developers absolutely don't give a **** about what the players think about it.... This must change, but the reason behind why i rant is because i am frustrated because i can't change it, there is nothing i can do....but rant, so please allow me this small reconciliation

 

I will give you that. But understand that they can't constantly just keep sending out more and more power items. Players constantly try spreading rumors of an LF5 coming out when the game was at its peak before the intro to LF4. The game was on more equal footing with LF3 being the best laser you could get. Since the intro to LF4, the player base has dwindled significantly. I don't care what their data says, less and less players are on. If they are willing to post data saying otherwise, I would be happy to see it. How many players started each year. How many of them made it to level 10 before you didn't see them anymore and how long after the rest of them started was it before they stopped logging in anymore. As much as players complain, the designs seem to be a hit I think. Players buy or assemble them, and they talk about which one they are working on next. I can only speak for my server of course, but I see them all the time. I play free so only if they actually "give" me one, will I have one as I don't use any of the ships that take them. I fly a bigboy. But I really have to wonder why the cosmetic designs cost more than the power designs that everyone covets.

 

LF4 AND Upgrades.

don't forget them, most players looked as another money-drain thingy, that's why they began to leave, i mean the ones that kept a bit of hope after pilot bio and the insane damage glitch that affected even Garena darkorbit back then, now take a look what happened lately, damage curve capped, i miss hitting 59.000 with a BDR on a uber...

hahaha

on the desings, its actually a problem because of the cooldown cap, the boost designs had a moderate reception as the cosmetic ones (amber and space friends) didn't give any bonuses aside a permanent trade drone and making you look cool... over the time people were into the boost designs but started to feel bored because of usual samey-look of skilldesings/dmg/shd% ones, why do you think bp "remade" the inventory system? artic and lava desings were meant to lure people again, so their venoms would not look the same as a newbie that got lucky on a free booty chest, even the outfit ships got their boost desings, as well arctic+lava.

even drones didn't escape, TO DEEP SPACE WITH YOU MASQUE, your horrible taste for coloured space junk means nothing!! NOOOTHING!!

 

Alright, i'm done ranting for now
As this will not trigger any kind of change, this thread may be closed

 

THE GAME ..was made for PVP originally .not designs !
wake up .
i agree with the original poster and there needs to be an evolution of weapons harder to get ..

 

^ Because how much more power is needed to dominate us NOOB players?

 

x1 could be be transfered to x2 ,x3 to x4 ,lf1 to lf2. lsf3 to lf4 ,then a new laser .for us oldies to work for ...we have nothing to look forward to or work towards to execpt poxy designs of no use !

 

Maybe at some point they will do a restart of missions again. They got me on my main when they went reloaded just before I could get the last npc mission. But now in chat all I really hear is Hades, 1v1, and now refraction. I know players are working through kill quests the way I get popped so I know there is always something out there.

 

You have no right to complain using 1.4 mil uri on upgrading your lf4 before you even have 45. Thats plain stupid. Takes 280k worth of upgrades to make sightly less damage bonus than one lf4 when you could have got full herc and full lf4 and some upgrades with that uri
Its easy to progress if you know how.

The pro

The problem isn't that it is hard to progress. Its that there is no guidance!!!

 

Agreed, there is no good guidance from DO. Some players have started putting some guides in the forums. The problem is most players don't read the forums. Even worse, when they get advise from players in game, most don't listen. Players just want to hurry and start shooting other players. Some barely make it to the x-2 maps when they get started. Then they complain that everyone is shooting them.

 

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
