[SC] Why Game is Dieing "I Know"

So I have been playing this game for many years I started in January of 2010 so I have 6 years into this game. When I started this game there used to be a counter on the log in page that showed how many players were currently playing the game on the server. It used to be Hundreds even as high as 700+. Today we are lucky if we have 30 people on a given server. Dark orbit you can fix this with 1 quick change thats so simple and it would fix the game and you would start getting hundreds of players again. It's simple all you need to do is make it so you can not shoot your own company. PERIOD. The only problem with this game is the current play style promotes players to just war there own company and then bully everyone in the company. It is much easier for them to kill there own company because of the saftey of being in there own maps. Its much harder to hunt real enemy's in there maps. Thats why this game has died. If you made it so you can only shoot ships from enemy companys you would promote company pride and fix the game. Just do it. We need a drastic change like that and i promise you it will fix the game. Who will you lose by making the change? Only the current bully's who ate killing the game. You trade them for 100's of new players who will give the game a chance because they wont be being killed by there own company

 

I will give you that. It would be nice if you could look at a company member and say I feel safe next to this player. If not do that, remove company wars. Its a bully's best tool in this regard.

 

This game is not dieing it's getting better so get over kidda.

 

That is one problem granted, but the power gap is also a big concern of many including myself.

In your opinion the game is getting better. But by many others and myself the game is getting far from better. By the way you talk "this game is not dieing", you are at the very least naive or at most one of the problems with the game. Second who are you tell ₪Ģяαzηзя₪ or anyone to get over it? ₪Ģяαzηзя₪ has a concern and because you don't agree you tell him he is wrong and to get over it. Your two statements do nothing to further the conversation. What is your proof that the game "is not dieing"?

 

Sorry mate but there is nothing to be more added to his comment He's just another player who can't deal with the game. I've been playing this game on one account since March 2009 and I know where and how this game went.

So i just going to leave this here to answer your question :

 

I have been here 6 years too ₪Ģяαzηзя₪ and have seen the game traverse all the major changes/ stages that is has been through..
If you were to go to certain servers like INT1 (the server Toudi plays) and a few others you would still find a good number ppl but even then the mentality has changed over the years... as you say the Company loyalty has gone, but this has been allowed/caused by ppl who should know better and have selfish interest at heart, and I dont mean the DO !!... They know who they are ...
I have to say that In-Company war has a place in the game but when A clan wars all the top 100 clans just for red dots then the 'Die is set' as they say...
Maybe if In-Co wars were confined to shooting in uppers and enemy maps... but then you have the X-Co Alliances and MCCs... this is not a simple challenge...

I have to agree with the comments from 77Transam

As I pointed out above Toudi, Global Europe (INT1) is still a relatively large server but it too has suffered since the old days... I started on that server 6 years ago (still have the ship) and I have fond memories... Dont whitewash the other servers with your own limited experience please

 

One quote from DarkOrbit doesn't make for a valid argument! What else would they say? DarkOrbit isn't going to come out and admit to having a dieing game! Really, thats your proof??

I am going off of the countless posts that I have read on this forum as well as my own experience. I was playing Dark Orbit when they had their first anniversary and compared to then not only 6 years ago the game has taken a dive.

 

Hi ₪Ģяαzηзя₪, I have played under ₪Ģяαzηзя₪ till he changed companies...flew under tag name 'runnak' till me current name <--- It is true that MCC are/is ruining the game, since who can you trust in your own Co. that fly mutual colors I myself don't want to see another Co. of mine next to me I get the heck out of the area....ain't gonna get pinged - LOL...unless green tagged.

No need to mock him and he is not a kid Man UP!

If you have played BSG...you are a minnow in a BIG FISH LAKE...the only way to go up is by experience. You cannot buy your way to a BIGGER ship....your wallet won't save you. Gotta go through mission after mission after mission. You can be a minnow going after a big fish, but you won't win, but it is still fun in a different way. Has powerful ships/the other side that blow up your portals.

And the kicker - You cannot shoot your own FACTION aka Company

 

Yeah BUT there you cannot place mines to bully other players of your company and you cannot steal npcs from them

 

I agree the game needs to have some major changes made. Yes the biggest is to remove the Same Company attacks as some players are not knowledgeable to know the difference as they know this is a PvP game and have not been in it long enough (or speak the language) to know they are not supposed to shoot same company players. Wars need to be confined to the Uppers and Battle maps to allow NEW players to gain strength and clan unity in the lowers. Furthermore the MCC attacks need to be removed from the lower maps, also allowing the newbs to gain their strength and knowledge of the game.

PROTECT THE NEW PLAYER as they are the future of D O.
