  2. ban the bots and maybe itll be nice
     
    -PRICEYSID- and *GOLIATKA* like this.
  3. I see that at the targets they either sent a message or took out a key because yesterday you could collect 250 keys, today there are only 184 :(
     
  4. I've been trying to access map x1 for a few hours to enter the event portal...but unfortunately there's "Connecting....". Get the Battle Pass and then you can't play....apart from the bots that are present on all maps and also in the event portal.

  6. the feedback is; "connecting" , crash, "connecting", logut, login, "connection".

    we have enough design,maybe bigpoint should spend their money to fix the problem, not for designer :)
     
  7. Connection is down as usual
     
  8. Apart access , then we have most likely a b o t that has killed Sink 26 times while the second ones only killed 6 !!!! Pretty impossible
     
  9. The person who figured out that these mine-wielding NPCs are throwing mines at the gate would be screwed. I jump from one map to another, I get there, 4-5 mines explode on me, I get 7-800 thousand damage, and that's it. Every 4-5 jumps are like this for me.

    yh should be a safe zone from mines , so can have a snack etc . but that would favour the bots ,so no solution .

    I've contacted support several times. No one is fixing this issue. They're blaming my pc and me not using the Unity client, but this is an event issue on their end.

    UNITY CLIENT USERS PLAYING THE FROZEN LABYRINTH PLEASE WEIGH IN HERE: IS YOUR SYNK ICON SOMETIMES NOT WORKING TOO DURING THE SESSION?

    During the event, the synk icon/leaderboard thing that shows you when and where the synk is stops working. So do in-game location announcements. Support hasn't/won't tell me if the synk is still spawning but we're just not seeing its locations. If that were the case, the in game announcements would still show it has spawned. They don't. The Skoll location in game announcements stop, too, so I'm thinking neither are spawning. this has been a consistent glitch from day one, robbing us of hours of playing time. And, in the past, we have not been given extended time to make up for it. This also has happened in past years, too.

    PLEASE REPORT THIS TO SUPPORT! THEY AREN'T TAKING MY WORD FOR IT BECAUSE THEY ALSO NEED TO HEAR FROM OTHER PLAYERS
    THIS IS HAPPENING. PLEASE REPORT THIS SO THEY CAN'T BLAME MY PC OR LACK OF USING THE UNITY CLIENT. THEY ARE NOT TAKING
    ME SERIOUSLY BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE SEEMS TO BE REPORTING THIS ISSUE.

    Thanks for helping a fellow player out.

    Is there a voucher/bonus code for this event? There used to be in the past. Thank you.

    Went to play the Frozen Labyrinth this morning. Just as the synk was about to spawn, I jumped to the next map. It took my key, and froze in the portal. Now the game client is totally frozen. The synk icon/leaderboard thing doesn't show the synk location or the countdown time.
    I've reported this several times to support but they keep blaming my pc, my client, etc when it's the game freezing.
    Every year with this event, it's something. And they won't fix it.

    This morning's Frozen Labyrinth session timed out at the beginning and is now nearly over.
    Since it froze, I haven't been able to connect to the game at all. The game client just spins and spins on establishing connection, then times out. Been doing this for 1.5 hours now.
    Can anyone else on GA1 (I think that's what it is still called, not sure though), establish a connection? I've reported this to support but they can't do anything about it.

    Of course, after the morning session 7-9 am was over, voila! The server magically connected when it was too late to play the event.
    Thanks a lot, DO!

    10ish am, time for another session of the Frozen Labyrinth event.
    Now, between 9 am, when the last session ended, until 10ish am, when the new session was about to start, I was able to open the game client and connect, easy-peasy.
    At 10:12 LST am when I went to reconnect to the game client and play the FL, it won't connect again. It just spins and spins and spins saying establishing connection, but never connects.
    So not only can I not play the FL, I can't play DO at all now. This is on GA1.
    Is anyone else on GA1 able to connect to the game?

    While I was trying to access the game and FL today between 10-2, I couldn't. But the top player in the FL was able to access it but I couldn't even access the game. When I was finally able to access the game and enter the FL, the synk spawn icon wasn't working. The top player was able to get a few more synks during the time I couldn't even connect. How unfair is that.

    Frozen Labyrinth frozen again, 20 minutes into this session.
    I haven't been able to play all day, but the top player has.
    This is unfair.
    DO, you've had 5+ years to fix these issues, I've been contacting support for years about these issues.
    Why aren't you fixing them?

    Can you reduce the number of NPCs needed to be killed in the battlepass and add tasks for frozen boss sks. It's the only common NPC not in the battlepass for whatever reason.
    Needing 500/600/1500 frozen bks/sks/icy's is a bit too much.

    Knowing how Bigpoint think ,they probably don't include the bosses because they give more uridium .
    But yh wouod be nice if the bosses were included .

    Also having objectives of let the enemy damge your ship is just plain daft ,darkorbit must be the only game that has come up with something as stupid as that ..they could have kill the boss aliens instead which would make more sense .

    Ps have you seen the asking price they wantr for that new ship in the shop lol £269 !

    They've only excluded boss sks, but they've got a task for 150 boss bks. I think it's more likely an oversight. Pretty embarrassing really.

    They're selling Paladin for £269? There's no way. That ship's so useless. What are they thinking.

    in battlepass years ago too it was the same. no mision with bosskristallins. nothing changed.
    BUG: we have a chance to jump in Commerce Hall map that is empty and we need to die to exit it. Remove it
