    Could we possibly in future events move them into higher tier maps if they involve killing a large ship. the most recent Demaner event has caused a huge amount of clans to gather for the event for many low level players trying to play get in the crossfire.

    Yes I am aware that anyone can move to an enemies low tier maps but the event increased the amount of people coming to just kill the Demaner aswell killing new players. aswell the new NPC ships from it dealing over 4000+ damage and being high on hp won't benefit the new players on that map, nor have I seen anyone even attempting to kill them after one or two times. please move them to PVP maps or very high tier.

    Sorry to say but DO is not and never has been new player friendly. Events cater to the top players by design.

    Best suggestion I could offer is - If you can go to uppers during Demeaner, go there and stay well clear of the elitist players that want to dominate everything DO.
    If you can't get int the upper maps, just sit on a portal until the Demeaner has passed through the system you are in.

    DarkOrbit is pretty friendly if there isn't anything making high Tier players come to low tier maps. when the events start they murder the new playerbase. and heading to the portals every 18 minutes and waiting for 4 more minutes is a massive waste of time for them. Plus the portal option is only good after they see all the dots and instantly go towards the last possible portals.
    Enemies warp into the sector making them appear all around, they also camp and plant mines outside of these portals aswell the quest stations.
    Moving them to pvp or higher tier would at least reduce these issues and allow the new players to play easier during these types of events.

    Unfortunately it seems teamwork is the only answer. No matter how strong you are, whether you are the most skilled player out there, or the highest ranking player of your company; it all means nothing when facing a clan. That is the problem: clans are ruining any and all events, and not just MCC (Multi Company Clans), no. Any clan.

    If you can't beat them, join them, snipe them, annoy them or stay the hell away from them.

    You are partially right, teamwork is how these groups dominate events so successfully. When you have 9 of the top 10 clans all allied together against most of the server - DO is not a fun place to be, events are just pointless for anyone not in the right group.

    Sorry but it is primarily MCC that are the root of the problem if you happen to be at war with the top clans - PVP missions are made virtually impossible to complete. Since starting my 10K kill quest, over 700 legitimate ship kills yet only 135 of those actually count toward my missions - ALL have been war targets, yet because of the massive influence of MCC most of my ship kills don't count.

    It is all irrelevant though, DO lost control of the game many years ago and without risking losing a sizeable percentage of the player base will never be able to rest control back from the bullying cheating elitists who run the game.

    Look at all the recent new content added - It is directed specifically at the worst aspect of the game to dominate as they do everything else. DO management are for some reason under the illusion these botters and cheats are worth catering to with new content, almost to the exclusion of everyone else.

    New WarGames event - Just the next in a line of rubbish events that cater for and highly reward the elite few - At the expense of everyone else.

    as these replies are a bit related and major issues, this is not what I'm talking about, this topic was made to move events causing clans to go into low tier maps to somewhere new players won't be hanging around, and new players can play the game peacefully at these events.

    These same "major issues" ARE the reason events are the way they are. As I said above, DO has never been new player friendly.

    Events like Demeaner and Hitac are "supposedly" for ALL players so in lower maps to allow everyone to participate. Reality is, Events aren't for everyone, especially when you take into account ONLY the biggest hitters get rewarded.
    There is also the way the events run, they travel from map to map, again to allow everyone a chance to participate - Reality is, few get to actually be a part of the events due to the top players/groups monolopizing them.
    Moving them to battlemaps or the upper maps would mean rewriting pretty much every aspect of the events as these maps don't link up like the lower maps do.

    Sotty mate but unless the "major issues" relating to these events is addressed - Nothing is going to change..

    Then just remove them and rethink the balance for these events. For example.
    There will be teams, players will join whichever team has the lowest amount and balance both sides out. about 3-5 minute time of waiting and about 30-40 minutes of the event game in total.
    a common good level required as well to join.
    the event can take place into new ones meant for the events.
    and both sides are forced to fight or do the event seriously by having a counter showing a bar of their activity, it could be up to 3-4 bar tiers for that reward, if one person isn't doing what hes suppose to do, the bar gets lower and rewards they will receive will be low or you will be kicked for a player waiting in queue. (Queued players receive a window to join the game if this happens)
    Debatable (Winner team gets a extra reward or bonus on its rewards) or (top player of the winning side gets a reward)

    Hope this Idea isn't too dumb for you guys, but I thought it may reduce the monopolizing it as well making everyone able to receive a reward and have a good time.
     
  9. like everyone new events are fun ,yet once again they only benifit the cheats we all know this yet you still dont act .im guessing the new 1 on the servers will be bot versus bot because im dam sure me and many wont even try it as we didnt with the demander event due to 1 mixed clan called rekt not sharing it .all the managers do in this game is think about money >ever thought if u banned the cheats or even took some of there stuff away it might help.if the honest see you do somethink this game could be packed again and you guys making a mint.remember the customer is always right :))get a new boss who cares pls
