DarkOrbit on the right direction?

Things are getting worse and worse.
Yesterday, when the influence event faq was released i was really angry. Once again BP team fucke* an event and we had to complain on discord chat. If that was the only event i think no one would compain, at least on the same way as yesterday, but commit this kind of mistakes after all the fails they are commiting is just ridicolous. The problem is not only the man who checks if everything on the faq is correct. That person may commit a mistake. The problem is the background, who decided to put 2 points / alien kill ? It must have been someone no plays this game. If they say that they are aware of bot usage they cannot put such stuff as it is just laugth at the community.

But the problem is not this event, as i said, the problem is here since years, but, maybe, in the last few months its worse than ever.

On the one hand, for example we have a new gate, QZ. Imagine how bad is the welcome from players about that gate that they even recognize that the gate does not fit on the game. However the gate is still here and it is the only way to obtain the new ships.

On the other hand we have the new lf4. Before they were released the gap between players was getting closer. Something that the community has been asking for years. Good decisions like obsidian materials on gates and double rewards day helped new players to close such gap. Howevenr, with this new kind of lf4 we have moved again to the farming and only farming game logic. Imagine for a while that you stop playing for 1 year. Once you comeback you will not be able to kill anyone. And even if you bot 24/7 or play 24/7 when you comeback you will never be able to close that gap as to obtain the materials you have to complete the weekly and dialy missions. Appart from that as we all know maybe on the future there appear ships upgrades or maybe new shields so the gap will be bigger and bigger and the opportunity to close it lower. Another example is spartan drones, you have to complete arround 80-90 hades gates to get them (if you already have the havoc and the hercules). It seems a fair number for new players no?.

Instead of create new stuff, which we the community, or at least me, don't want they may try to focus on things we are asking for years. Here is my list of such things:

-UBA. The map is wrong, it should be a JPA like map. The matchmaking is wrong. We need a option to enter on it with a friend in order to make a duel. It also needs bug fixes.....

-Credits. Nowadays credits are not powerfull anymore. Why not to create a new tab in the auction with the old system? I mean where you only see who bids but not how much and if you send a wrong bid you lose your credits? On that auction they can put new lf4 materials, some obsidian keys and that kind of stuff. They can also put on the payment area credits for sell.

-Seprom. Why they don't wonder about why there are always seprom bugs? A bug does not appear if people does not search for them. If people focus on search seprom bugs it is maybe because the skylab system is competely wrong. We cannot be using the same seprom as when we had 8 iris. If they allow us to send more maybe people stop searching that.....

-Normal event rewards. What about TDM, CTB, INFILTRATION, INVASION GATE and so on rewards? Just a little comparison, spaceball && CTB, what do you get on CTB? Nothing. They have normal events which could be awesome but as there are no rewards for play them then no1 plays them

-Player kills. How can be possible that we still earn more by killing a kristallon than by killing another player?

-Missions. Why not to create missions to help newbies? For example, lvl 21 mission: Help a player under lvl 15 to kill X aliens. With a proper reward by completing the mission it will help both newbies and old players. Appart of that as those players have to speak each other the chances that the newbie lefts the game will be lower.

-JPA or similar event is needed for real money or for vouchers to use the money on bigpoint products. It is also a nice way to promote the game. "Come, play and earn X".

-Old titles, the ones you get by killing other players. Why those titles have the same colour as the normal shitty ones? It has no sense, those titles had a really good meaning in the past and nowadays its really hard to see them on maps.

-When will be bonge's tools be included on game? They are awesome, but it would be nice that the game include them by theirselves. Maybe as a premium feature.

I can continue saying stuff like this the whole day, so share your opinion guys.

you may post this on official DO forum

Completely agree but thats how it is for a long time always geting worse only.


They told they will focus on merges but so far what can we see ? 0 news about server merge progress and every week another event or new item added into game :facepalm:

Also how can a company not fix game lags since December 2016 or even earlier? Yep over 7 months since GE1 started laging and it hasnt been fixed yet.

As well support is bad since ages.



Aint got time to write everything cuz that would be a damn long list but yep since BP cares only about their salary and cant see that their bad steps affect the game they wont do anything with it so no point being angry about it, their coders or employees never played the actual game obviously with all those crapy things they are adding instead of fixing major problems.

If they just focused on quality before quantity just one time...
AND FU***NG LISTEN TO THE DAMN COMMUNITY

EDIT:
Biggest problem with this game since 2010 is that they value more a new player that pays alot
than a player that spent thousands of hours to the game...
And than.. they wonder why is there so many botters?! Well, my lads.. it's because you created a game perfect for botting.
It's a little off topic but anyways... Couple years ago there was a game called Warpfire, very simmilar to DO, but that game had very different payment philosophy: every single "elite" item was obtainable through gameplay, missions, boss drops.. and the uridium-like currency "Thorium" was used just for stronger ammo, ship paintings and such... game was very similar to DO, even more enjoyable than DO, but it had 0 grind.

Game was removed due to expensive maintenance, and low income.

100% sure I missed something, but the list is long and 100% sure also somebody disagrees with me.

Solution for botters:

Reward 3 days premium for those who record and prove that certain player is botter.

The recording haven't been enough proof since 2012, regards the experience with recorded videos that has been sent to support.

BP trusts only to the script, which does nothing.

But honestly script is the only valid proof... others are just guesses

Love everything expect the auction and the pvp kill reward,that would lead to more hunting of low lvls and would make it a worse experience for them.(Speaking as one)

Bots are not the real issue, way less people would bot if you could earn shit legit way. But instead BP gives us lasers which take literally years to complete, or other shit events. I've got no more hope for this game, privates die and are too unstable to really compete. I thought that when they brought OwningPeeps to admins team, maybe some of updates would get more realistic, but it's still shit. Let's be honest, who wants to farm thousands of hours on webbrowser space game. If I'd want to do that, I would probablly go play Elite: Dangerous or any other more decent game, and farm there.

The only way to stop to bot is make the bots don't worth anymore in the game! just like get focus in kill players , pvp events , or things like JPA! even a bot can do this , what is the sense?

bot develops, evolves around what is needed. if you can only get more "items" by killing people. develops will eventually make bots that will kill people. it will be slow but it will get better.

You guys remember when there was captcha authentication for every "x" number of boxes collected. Why not introduce that again, but make it pop up every 30 minutes etc.
It would not be too annoying, but it would make any bot useless.

But on the other hand -reduce games insane need for grinding.

I play video games for over 20 years, and NEVER i saw a game that comes even close to amount of time DarkOrbit requires for things that will buff your damage to 6% etc. It's ridiculous.
