  1. Back in 2010, when i played the game, and before then, you would say people everywhere on every map doing stuff. Since the the update with skill Designs, people were ok with it. Then there was the Pilot Bio and PET. Another big "improvment" in the game, people who spend money easily got Pilot Bio points, and those who were already on top of the game got ahead even farther than us free players. Then LF4s, Then New gates, Then New ships, etc

    When is bigpoint going to slow down and think about the little guys? This game is just is so skewed that only players who will continue to spend money, and those who are already have everything they need will stay ahead of everyone else. What is worse is, the only chance us free players had to get up there was 5=3, is now gone with these missions.

    I came back to the game recently because it was the only thing i could play for a while. I have looked around the game, you hardly see any more "noob" players, you dont see any new players anymore, some every now and then, but everyone left. They said thats enough, and just quit the game. If Bigpoint is going to keep adding these outrageous updates, that make it impossible for us little guys to keep up with, then Your going to only see wallter warriors who blind spend their money.

    Make rewards based on your current equipment, something like that, so someone who has flax drones, gets 200 uri out of a bk, and those who have 10 drones get only 100. Or something else. Im not the only one, I am sure some of you players who have played for a long time have noticed there are few and fewer players as time passes on. This game is so unblanced, that it makes me think the people who make this game have a IQ of 0 or something. Dont tell me that you guys arent making money, because thats just a lie.

    From a business point of view...who would you rather see playing a game you owned...what you call wallet warriors who "blind spend their money"...or ones who don't. Think about it. I'm guessing they would cater to the blind spenders. Or there wouldn't be a game at all.
     
  3. Point is more more these kind of updates, few players they will get receiving. Eventually people like me give up, and then you end up with a dead servers, with only UFE players, and the player count is already low at is. no more than 200 people are on. If not Less sometimes.
     
  4. the game is hard for free players but not impossible if u play u will eventuallly get there
     
  5. As of 2 years ago I was a wallet warrior. .now I'm not .no I can't be rank be rank 1 but I can still slowly climb..do what u can when u can ie icys an such:p
     
  6. Yeah, ive never known a game that takes years to get anywhere.
     

  7. You don't really know how this game works do you without the free players there wouldn't be DO cause when this game started out it wasn't pay to play like it has changed into now and there needs to be a balance between ww and free players otherwise the game will go down hill like its been doing for years.

    You tell me if all the free players quit how long you think this game will last with just the ones that pay ?

    All they need to do is to go back to 2010 after bio was implemented and slap whoever had that idea about LF 4 with wet fish

    That is when game was best

    In reality it was BIO that was the beginning of the downturn it the game and the greed that drove all the subsequent updates.

    BIO was the first major advantage that could be bought with real money and anyone that did not buy it outright at the start, was at a massive disadvantage. I would guess the fact that many decided to buy it outright as soon as it came out, was the catalyst that drove the greed, to add all the subsequent profit driven at any cost updates.

    All we seem to be seeing these days is superficial changes that do not address the real issues, which is the unrealistic cost and time required to achieve UFE for new / average players. Not to mention the issues with chance.

  10. Well anyone that has played this game for 4 yrs or more knows that they have been makin it easier to do quests, level up, survive than it was 4 yrs ago. With the x-1 dmz and outfits it is much easier to move up than it was when I started. We had to follow the edge of x-1 map to get to x-2, if there was an enemy in x-1 we didnt have this crybaby protection they have now. The reason most of the old school players are so tuff today is because when we started playin DO survival was the first thing you had to learn. now everyone thinks the game should give them special advantages instead of making them learn how to survive.

    If DO is to difficult for you there are other games out there where you dont have to compete against other players, maybe that would be more your style.

    This probably all goes back to the worthless generations that have been robbed of the right to play dodge ball as children and were robbed of the thrill of victory when they stopped keepin score in youth sports so everyone could get a trophy.

  11. Rofl what you talking about utter rubbish 4 years ago it was 10 times easier to survive , play DO and better quests etc .

    Newbies have got zero chance these days with all the fire power etc and prove me wrong start a new account and see how long and how many quests you can do on it before you give up then you know.

  12. If you had been playin 4 yrs ago you would know what i say is true. 4 yrs ago ppl hunted the x-1 maps, and even without the upgrades of today noobs were insta-pops. If you dont like the way the game is you are free to play farmarama, this is a pvp game intended for big boys and girls.

    I agree completely with ♫ŘΘŁŁîŃĜ♪ŦĦÙŇĐΞŘ♫™.

    4 year ago, well better still 5 years ago before BIO, yes noobs got popped unnecessarily and far to frequently( but compared to these days where UFE can five anyone with skill in even a noob ship could survive an atta,x

  14. balance is weakness
     
  15. Only four years you been playing you got a lot to catch me up the ive been here from basically day one done everything wore the t-shirt etc so I think I know what im talking about ;).

    Acually when this game started it was a mmo game then changed to pvp game:).
     
  16. Even that X2 protection thingy for smaller ships doesn't work...all it takes is 1 kami or mine & Bam! you're dead. :L
     
  17. Without balance theres chaos.

    I remember when I first started playing that I could survive an FE attack when in a nostromo with about 40k shields (as long as I was close to the portal).
    Now I can have 1million shields and still pop in about 10 seconds. How the heck is someone with 40k shield supposed to even survive by portal hugging? They shoot a lordakia and pop. They fly out of the dmz for a split second and pop.
    A fully kitted out big boy with 8 iris, all the b02 etc would pop in about 3 seconds.

    Jumping at a portal takes about 5 seconds, so you can pop from full shields from literally just jumping.

    Just so you know I am a ww on east server but on the west server I decided to try it for free so far i have 3 iris a pet goli and all the chips . I have poped a few times but I am able to do the low gate by myself excluding the century falcon the x-4 maps are empty now because of the jump cpu so boxing is a breeze so it is possible to advance in this game for free how ever free players are still here for ww to put in there log books after all you wouldnt go to Mcdonalds and say hey he got a number 1 combo so I should get one for free because I cant afford to buy one / someone has to pay even for people who receive food stamps its the tax payers that foot that bill and as such it is the ww who foot the bill for Dark Orbit { People should be thankful you have a game and a hot meal at night }
     
  20. Ty, I am also a WW but on USA West, I agree the free players should have an easier way to progress but what i see is that they always want it to be so easy that they don't have to work that hard for it
