    What’s the Cold Wave?


    The Cold Wave is the 2014 DarkOrbit Winter Event – combining the web-based Advent Calendar with a challenging ingame event.

    How does the Advent Calendar work?

    If you are familiar with Advent Calendars, you know the principle. Everyone else should know that between the 1st and the 24th of December we unlock a new special present for you that you can get when you “open the door” numbered with the actual day on the calendar. Behind the doors you find a little present that will be booked directly to your inventory.

    What if I missed a day?


    Like the daily login bonus, you should log in everyday during the advent period as the doors are open on the very day for 24 hours only.

    What are the surprises?

    We’re not telling you this! Otherwise it would be no surprise. But it’s all useful stuff (consumables).

    Ingame-Activities

    Apart from the goodies you can earn by simply collecting the surprise consumables, in the game the “Breach” is opening on map x-4.

    This event is active from December 11th, 0:00h LST through to the 1st of January, 23:59h LST – right on time to celebrate DarkOrbit’s birthday!

    Leading up to the opening of the Breach, we have implemented new story missions. Every day there is one new mission to be played starting on the 1st of December 2014.

    The “Breach” (Gate)


    The breach will appear on the first day of the event but you can only access it from December 11th.

    Depending on the player level there are two varieties – the “normal” one (suitable for players of level 16 and higher) and the “easy” version (balanced for players up to level 15). If you are a high-level player (level 16+), you can decide whether you want to have it easy or hard – you can even decide to do both but not at the same time, of course.

    Behind each version of the gate 3 waves of enemies await you: The Ice Meteoroids, Icys and boss “Skoll” need to be defeated before you lose all of the 20 lives you have.

    Event Missions

    To add a bit more thrill to the game, we have added new event missions. Each mission will be available from a specific day and tell the story of the event.

    For successfully finishing each mission you will get XP, Honor, Uridium, Credits and for most missions you will also get a special item reward.

    All missions are available in two flavors – one for “normal” difficulty and one for “easy”.
    Remember that all missions will be removed on the 1st of January 2015, so make sure you have finished them before they are gone to receive the mission reward!

    Note: You need to be at least level six to accept these missions.

    New Ammunition

    To help you kill the ice-NPC we have added Cold Wave Rockets (R-IC3) that freeze the enemy for 2 seconds. The rockets can be used against all opponents (interrupt/prevent the effect by using EMP, the Citadel’s “Travel Mode” ability and the Lightning’s “Afterburner” ability.
    The R-IC3 will be available in the shop starting on the 11th of December 2014 and will cost 20 Uridium per Unit.

    Note: These have been changed and modified for the Cold Wave 2015 event. Please see the >>Cold Wave 2015<< thread for more details.

    What’s the difference between “normal” and “easy” NPCs?


    “Easy” NPCs are 1/5th less dangerous than the “normal” version. They are at 20% of the originals’ hitpoints, etc. (and of course the rewards are lower too).
