DarkOrbit Reloaded

I always loved this game when i was in school. So i started playing it after many years. What I found out was horrible. 99% of the playerbase are BOTS!! If you want to play normally, expect to play hundreds/thousands of hours just to be... mediocre? The grind is fun, but you can't be competetive without premium and rebate (monthly payments) And even with that you have no chance against botters. But it is fun atleast for few hundred hours. Classic old style flash space shooting game. I have 350 hours logged in, and Im done. Bigpoint doesnt care about their community, nor the game. Constant bugs, crashes, performance issues. Same events in rotation, nothing new. Overal it is nothing but dying Spirit of an once amazing game. Dead game. Their biggest mistake was to put this on Steam. Now they can't hide. Not like they care tho. PLEASE, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!!

1) WAAAAAAY too many buggs. Really heavy ones. They prevent the basic actions like atacking, collecting ressources, movement. mobs spawn (like overflowing the map and ultra lagging+crashing my game from loading too many entities). 2) The chinese owners do not care about the players at all. If you mention the buggs, you get banned because of your name and the buggs still persist :D 3) This game is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ full of Bots omg... They do not even try to hide it. You can find those bots on the web to buy. Just make a quick search. The efforts the chinese owners of the game try to implement are preventing normal players from playing (see 1)). Just one example: 5-10 players are flying nearly perfect ontop of each other an onehit everything on the map. Sometimes they farm Cubicons. As a normal player you can not aim an atack the newly spawned Cubikon fast enough before those Bots are already claiming the kill for themself (you cant progress quests despite getting a small portion of the rewards). 4) This Unity client is ultra ♥♥♥♥♥. After some period of time (around 1h) it has ALWAYS a crash. often mid fight. Just think about it, they tried to implement a quick fix that if you crash in a gate you dont loose lifes. This already says everything about the state of the game. instead of working on the problem you get a small quick fix and thats all. ♥♥♥♥ you chinese owners. 5) Despite playing on a PvE Server the protection is also not ideal. Some events stripp off your protection if you visit the wrong maps and then you are defensless for 24h. Also Asteroids are as a pure PvP content are often atacking you while you have PvP protection. This makes no sense. If someone wants to play without PvP you must have total PvP protection. Its a nice idea to be able to deactivate it whenever you need it and also for specific PvP content like asteroids but not if you dont want to. 6) The Game laggs as ♥♥♥♥. You clearly notice that the servers are not handling the load on the maps. Especially noticable during the Protegit event. Its really really bad. But i mean, the bot community is not really disturbed by this ;) A bot does not care if it laggs. Hes just a code running and running. The chinese are making a game for bots. The targeted audience are bots. 7) I also got a Bug where a NPC got invurnable. I could not even kill it with kami gear. But he was still shooting at me all the time. 8) Half of the skills in the pilot sheet you can not skill. I got all the ressources for them, and enough skillpoints. Another bug. 9) The one who das implemented "message_contact_spam_lock" must be fired imideatly and be prevented from programming ever agine by tearing off both of his arms and removing his eyesight. How ubelivable stupid can someone be to implement such thing? A few of the points mentioned above result from this ♥♥♥♥♥. 10) Constant desyncs of the Server, especially time. For example: sundays is double reward from galaxy gates. You finish a gate after 1 am and get single rewards. Thats really nice. Thx bigpoint. I know the time in China is different. But maybe you should just notify us what the right times are? By the way I can tell you that if you finish a gate just one or a few mins after 11:59 PM on a sunday you also get no double rewards! So I guess the days in China do not last for 24 hours but are shorter. How can a game, which is 20 years old be so full of buggs? This is really amazing. I think I will use this comment by updating it from time to time to blame those stupid developers.
