[UI] Twitch & Subscriptions ideas

So support told me to speak here...

here we go:

-Twitch & streams:

• Since i think that now everyone can follow the streams (and don't want to spend 1 hour to watch it alone), I think that the Darkorbit team should make a sort of Text message (here in the forum or in the ingame message system) speaking about the keys of their streams and their ideas/opinions/solution, here an example:

Stream n°1
We spoke about:
-blabla1: blabla
-blabla2: blabla
-blabla3: blabla​

I hope it will be done, because could be usefull^^

Subscription:

This is my personal opinion and i want to share it...
Since I play since long time, I think that the subscription like "Discount, x2Boxes" should be modified a bit.

• What i mean is:

I don't think that buy everytime 1 week of discount is usefull, when the (e.g) gates discount is only for 2-3 days, or discount on keys/file log last just 1 day.
And my idea is to make them buyable for 1 day, or in a way like 1 day - 3 day or 1 week with the possible to choose how much you can buy(of course the price will be changed, but it's not my field this).​

In this way, Bp's pocket won't be hurted much and we can stop the waste of such subscriptions^^



Let me know what you think players,

Thanks!!

 

Go one step further. Make them like the in-game Boosters (in Shop) where they are bought for actual Game Time. This would resolve a couple of issues;

1. the need to "reimburse" because of game issues
2. make it so a person can actually use what they have paid for
3. gives the player more control over the money they spend on the game
4. having a day = 16 hours eliminates the benefits given to macro/shared/bot users*

It is really bad when you buy a 8 week doubler then find the game is unplayable for over half of that time and you just wasted all of that advantage or you bought Rebate because you knew you were going to build G G's and PvP so you were going to be buying ammo just to find the G G M is not working or the PvP quests have not been fixed for 3 months.

I have not touched on the "FREE" Boosters offered with the purchase of Uridium that only run for 5 days (maximum) and if the game does not allow you to log in you are just S O L, these should be set to be 5 days of login (game maps of more than 5 minutes = booster started) not 5 consecutive days.

* Further explanation of the 16 hour day. You buy the 8 weeks of doubler, this is loaded weekly, they give you 112 hours of on game time this is added to the time you have remaining (if you have any) and is removed as you play the game rounding anything over half an hour up to the next hour and costing you one hour every time log into the maps (exception to this is 15 minute timer for loss of connection "break" time). For example I have logged in and play for half an hour take a break (restroom) come back connection was lost and I reconnect, because I was away less than 15 minutes my timer is still running with the time of lost connection missing from the real time used. The other is I have logged in and played for half an hour and need to run some errands so now I am charged for 1 hour of my advantage, but if you logged in did a SkyLab transfer was in game 15 minutes and logged out you would not be charged any time against the booster.

The rebate would have to work differently since most of the purchases are not in the game. This being said you are charged an hour the first purchase you make and this timer runs so anything bought during this hour does not charge you another hour (but watch this time closely so you do not make another purchase to start another hour unless you plan on continuing. You have a selector that allows you to control how the rebate is charged (hour or day) but either way it is charged with the first purchase of that time period.

 

Thanks @HelpMeHelpYou, that's what i wanted to say. It is weird when i buy the 25% discount and I use it just for 1-2 days ^^

But let's wait for a mod reply

 

Very interesting... Let's see what happens!
