Here is where I am, we donāt want another specialty ship (NX-01 being released.) We donāt want anymore armadas (Xindi Armadas coming soon.) We donāt want any new grinding loops (New Super Boss Hostiles coming.) What we do wantā¦
- Fix the lag and playability
- Consolodate all special currencies
- Reduce the grinding
- A trade system for all the useless inventory items.
- Do something with forgotten stale content
- Proper sourcing for all officers
And now scopely will do the opposite on all that
In all fairness I am not hopeful they will do anything other than new content on their proposed roadmap
whats with this battle pas have Incursion on a Friday can't do events or dalies and nothing for the overflow ???????????
How does this new arc fit into the letās put more work into developing the stuff we have than launching something completely new??? Way to kick off the new year with another bs filler content release.
Just what we didnt need more new grind. Start getting rid of some of the old grind before introducing new grind. Not just transferring it into an exborg grind fest. How about getting rid of the stella and franklin grinds first.
yep~ more grind.... adding to the time that we already have to invest in.... it's the last thing we need....more and more grind...unwelcome.
this is why a lot of my friends already quit....
looks like i'll be doing the same soon...
Yea start removing Doomsday stuff and old borg armada things
So much for bug fixes another content expansion update instead of much needed iOS and Android fixes and server performance fixes.
This is still just funny. So basically the real requirement is R&D 15 levels later because of the dependency...
Seems to me that they are being more stuff the lower lvls arenāt involved in ! So much for keeping them interested in the game
Peeps, is the maintenance utc time ?
the time in the announcement is dynamic to your time zone
More stuff for the game when it's full of bugs. Crashes 10 time plus in a short time frame. Good job scopley
Yay, more currencies and dross that won't work right.
@unique forge what we want doesn't match what scopley wants which is our £££. They know as well as we do the poor state of the game. Instead of fixing bugs they push more new content. Be prepared for the already huge list of bugs to become bigger.
Regarding the Ex-Borg Expansion: More Grind instead of less grind, from one currency make three. Need I say more?
Server 201 warning pre Maintenance would be great on the Discord, other games do
Scopely: We hear you about the quality of the game and are gonna slow down on content and do some bug fixes. Also Scopely: Just kidding we are expanding Ex-Borg though and there is some bugs for sure because we donāt have a QA team and allocate all our development work to content that will make us big money! š°
The lower levels are spared the grind so tbh I'm actually jealous of them
They did, 3 days ago. #ā-official-announcements message
Do your game designers collectively hate T'Pol or what is that about?
tpol, tpring, 3of11, all the same thing, vulcan looking woman so must be protected cargo!!
Did they give Enterprise officers abilities meant for Voyagers instead?
More crap to waste our time - this is meant to be a break from reality, not reality being a break from this game.
We need less, not more - it is sad just how over complicated this game has become.
Reduce the currencies, reduce the grind - stop heaping more and more onto what needs to be done.
You should fix what you have, before adding more. The droid version of the game atrocious. The game crashes constantly.
You mean you don't keep them interested by base raiding them into submission?
oh joy, changes to the missions and milestones for the wave defense, not the actual problems of insane power levels relative to half the ops levels they are supposedly for
if it means not forced at least 5 waves/however many hostiles to speed up the actual battle pass, I guess that's better than nothing. But the amount of credits needed vs the payout when you get to wave 6 to 8 max, still need to run so many to get the favours going
I thought that was our purpose @somber orchid š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Let's bet we get some new bugs while struggling with the existing ones that seemed to have actually become game Features. No matter how we look at it, having bugs still in a new year is a great insight into what is thought of us(gamers or consumers).
So give an Enterprise officer the ability that should be more suited for a Voyager officer? WHY O WHY.... This is just plain breaking canon 
I'm sorry but I felt in love with Maria K Salvador, please send her this messageš
For quality over quantity, the bug fix list needs to be much longer with some of the bigger bugs needing to be addressed. This patch doesn't appear to align with your communication for this year's goals.
Also a common piece of feedback for the borg cube was that the beam was too weak. Now you release a skin that effectively makes it 100% stronger. Quality of life updates for poor initial design shouldn't be paid content. We know you like to create problems to sell the fix but this isn't a player friendly, or player respectful, model.
You guys need to sundown the old content. No need to say anything more than that.
Yay another grind, said no one, to anyone, ever
Please consider revising Epic Trip Tucker's below deck ability. It is neither fitting the arc nor his character's skill set.
Suggestion: Since the arc features new gameplay such as hull healing / direct damage. Tucker's ability should in turn focus on repairing the hull aka fixing the ship.
He is an excellent chief engineer, it has always been his role. Not putting his hands in cookie jar.
Great example of scopely attention to detail. As seen on Apple App Store. Typical 
So you broke this a few months back, and I have posted this multiple times since. Bring back the 3rd column for my iPad - even better, make it 4 columns.
Oh look, another money grab, I mean battle pass. Enough with the battlepasses
I brought this up as well. Super frustrating that it hasn't been fixed yet.
I was really really hoping that the inevitable cube refit would be a tactical cube or something along those lines. Instead we get a lazy color change. Disappointing but not unexpected I guess. Seriously though, put a small amount of effort into things and you'll sell a lot more. Tactical cube would have been cool. Purple instead of blue... Sad.
We need 4 currencies along the top banner for exborg. To see your exborg credits you either need to select a chest that contains something you spend those credits on or go through your cluttered inventory to check (which is also annoying that exb credits are under materials rather than other like other credits are)
it was said new loop will take only 5 minutes per day, takes nearly 5 minutes just to warp to the system to kill, and the hostiles dont give much loot
Annnndddd of course⦠all those freebooters we killed and still got paid in reputation for, after we maxed rep⦠just poof, gone. Less Grind, My Azz. Just more loops. Getting to be where you gotta have a separate spreadsheet just to track your own dailies.
What happened to "quality over quantity"? Scopely are going out of their way to destroy the game along with driving away existing players. Suggest that Paramount's IP department threaten to withdraw the rights from Scopely - maybe that'll kick them into action.
Oh a Borg skin for my weak cube. Pass.
Excellent start to the new arc..... update, log in and
Yet another grind most people don't have time for. Yet more loops and currencies. Scopely are absolutely destroying a game that would otherwise have so much potential if in the hands of a decent developer that that wasn't blinded by sheer greed.
yet another addition outwith the reach of stated size of ops ships, scopely needs to learn what size and strength means, not just imagine it
SCOPELY.
LIES.
How exactly does one get 135k loot for one chest pull when you get maybe 1k max loot per kill within 5mins per day š
Please check the math scopely I think someone messed this up this is one of the worst grinds which I thought you were trying to steer away from?
the repair costs are gonna be stupid, lvl 2 beam tech - and ive died 20 plus times and only got 10k credits for 1 chest. 5 mins turned into 35 so far with multiple crews. doesnt live up to what u advertised scopely
<@&509690795536941056>
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1089368351769374760/1194277014463590461/image.png?ex=65afc424&is=659d4f24&hm=db3cd32c3e5449d230c8eb6c9f5687b1b804d948570e1b39bb636ceeb7ed4bd2&
This is really neat. I wonder how far the changes will be though. In game the lore is that the 4 races are at war and control different segments of Origin Space. So eventually having changes like which zones connect and even the star rating of the zones would be really neat to show the "war" having an ebb and flow to it.
OPs 56 here, with full loot crew I can get 1K per hostile and need 95K for a chest pull. But repair bills are going to be steep.
Not sure that's quite 5 minutes, either...
It's been clear from the start that no one at Scopely can do math.
I think we know by now Scopleyās version of time is very different from reality lol
I'm with Khelgar here, the loot gained per fight, vs time taken vs damage incurred makes this grind VERY uneconomical, especially for those with G5 ships
And donāt forget, those who use explorers most are pretty much screwed with the shield bypass the new hostiles have!
5 minute grind my behind š
You got that fancy new arcade shooter section last month. Pipe down ahah
@tacit obsidian any chance Scopely would post some high res images of the splash screens from recent arcs, the NX-01 shot is gorgeous, would be nice if we could get desktop scaled versions posted
No reason for the new systems to be set up to where you canāt view them without being in them. That mechanic is getting very old very fast
Pretty sure this month is just meant to torture everybody with low loot drops and high repair bills and ridiculous grind times so they can release the NX01 Enterprise next month with a bunch of built-in xindi damage and loot bonuses to make everyone desperate to buy it.
no, they're not that predicatable....oh wait.....lol
Love the new xindi ship models.
Where are all the Klingons? Can't complete daily mission without them. I suppose faction hunt is on the agenda again!!!
You don't say š
If thereās going to be a Season Passes tab, would it not make sense to put the Season Passes in it? š§
@tacit obsidian @digital bridge Scoply, that's just ridiculous!!! The right ship for this Xindi š© will not be available until next month. Whoever came up with this... should be fired. So many players are about to stop. And Scoply can't think of anything better than that?
Scoply, If you have a whole section for battlepasses why dont you place them there?
To make everyone think itās a necessity
The pace that you do arcs at is too fast. We had a tng movie arc and all we got were fed officers? Whereās shinzon and the reman officers
And the other half of the Enterprise E officers for that matter. Lol
Heās here
What's with the scopely? THIS is no fun, even worse than the crap with the Borg cube. What kind of unrealistic developers do you have? It takes forever for the simple box and you have to fly back and forth x times
Many people here are thinking about deleting the game because of the unspeakable rubbish that scopely has delivered here again.
we're deeply into "patch this immedidately" territory
Imagine... A game that asks for more money by consistently becoming less playable? If your playerbase ever wakes up your game may die...
been booted from game now cant log on scrooge play get your act together pls
Just tried a lvl 40 xindi with a 27 mil valdore and lvl2 particle delay. Found out if your ship scores a crit all damage is reduced to zero. Did absolutely 0 damage on every attack for 4 rounds. The math seems like it was coded wrong, the damage should never be reduced to zero.
That's how the math of crit works. Remove hugh from below decks.
Crit damage is extra, should only reduce to standard damage and not below.
thats why you got a new prime to buy and an ex borg favor
Haha, and there's the hook. Thanks for pointing that out, another cash grab closer to walking away from this abusive relationship.
šÆ More Shinzon for everyone !!! š
i really hope after this release half the players quit so i can quit to
Hey @tacit obsidian , you want us to use the web store instead of in-app with Apple or whatever. So I think ok maybe once I try it. Instead of paying 249NOK through the app and Apple, I pay on the web store and get some sort of multiphasic incentive or whatever. But then your stupid payment solution charges in USD, which ends up for me to pay 254.82NOK instead of 249NOK as advertised. Besides the fact that this is illegal in Norway (where my card is issued and therefore gives me a guaranteed chargeback with a hefty fine to you), itās just plain petty and wrong. You inch out an additional 2.5% charge and make a customer angry at the same time.
Long story short - you need to PayPal me a dollar @tacit obsidian
qucik q whens territroy reset?
A whisper of an unconfirmed whisper says the 23rd - but trust nothing till you see it with your own eyes
Why? Why? Why can't we have more than just this version? Why does it have to only be $100 versions? Why does each new builder, research, repair, drydock have to be more expensive than the last? Why can't each one have a $20 version that is just the unlock, a $50 one that has half the stuff the $100 one has, and the current $100 one? Just... why?
Because Scopley set this price long ago and can not back down now, or all of the folks that did pay $100 will want something back in return.
Pfheh! In Scopely's brain! A few will, yes. But most that spend on things don't have an issue with it happening. They don't have an issue that things they spet on are later available for grind or much cheaper price. And nobody has bought that before they released it. So they could have released different tiers with no expectation of anyone being upset.
They must think none of have jobs with the amount of mindless grinding they require us too do
So I have done the maths and I can get 1.1k a run on the xindi, need 40k for a refine, at 5 mins a trip thatās 3 hours grinding. This is an absolute joke
This is the single worst and most frustrating grind in the game. What on earth is Scopely thinking?
Well I'm not doing this Arc... I can't even kill any of the hostiles .. and I need to kill 700000 to get to the event completion
Makes you wonder if they even listen too feedback or the whales onlyš¤
1st task to improve this game: Fire all content managers immediately.
"quality over quantity"
It's Only Logical Part 2, Having to go to other system to do the mission requirement is bad design. Waiting for lvl 25. hostile to spawn in this system even more so. If you want me to kill some enemies in the same system, as in this case to protect the station, it would be smart idea to base the requirement for the mission on the lower level range of the system - not the max range.
Their desire here is to maximize our frustration so that those who spend money will buy the solution.
Reducing crit damage to zero should never have been done. It breaks the whole mechanic. And since there is no way to REDUCE your base crit chance, there is no way to counter it.
What a poorly designed event/arc. It is all around getting people to buy those packs. Unfortunately the path this game is taking is very clear ... .
And not being able to get one of the sets of missions that supposed to be availble to my level sucks.
Way too go scopely! The new reds are just awesome!!! I can kill 5 And then die on the 6th when I still had full health!! You couldnāt screwed this up any worse!!! Way to go!!!
I hate to come on here and complain but you need 9K for an exchange of the new scrap stuff. That is a bit high with what we can hit.
Great work, Scopely. The only Xindi hostiles I'm able to kill drop 1, maybe 2 scraps at a time, yet I need hundreds at the bare minimum to get the rewards out of the Ex-Borg store!
Maybe yet another tactic to force F2P players out of the game? Coz we all know how much you hate us!
Fantastic
guess u need to pick the surveys from each and every system
The new grind loop is hilarious, 40k scrap for the exchange chest when I can get approximately 600 scrap per run. I dunno what you absolute gobblers are smoking but I know it's not legal here. And that's on top of....
The Bajoran Grind Loop
The Normal Ex-Borg Loop
The Borg Probe/Cube Loop
The FKR Grinds
The Wave/Section 31 Grind Loop
The Stella/Rogue Grind Loop
The Voyager Grind Loop
Mantis Grind Loop
Q Trials
Star Trek Loop Command - "To blindly grind full-time, or spend like no one has spent before".
Be glad it isnāt 40k like mine, itās a three hour grind
what a farce these new hostiles are. time to call it a day methinks
Wow
I would like to know where the quality is they were saying they were going to put forth more of over quantity. Cause all I see is:
1ļøā£ a ton of new content
2ļøā£ a incredibly hilarious milestone SMS requiring a TON more grinding right out the gate with the new loop
3ļøā£ lots of new freaking Primes for your pushing of packs and satisfying of your greed
4ļøā£ oh yeah, and The SAME FREAKING LAG ISSUES!!!
Nice upgrade to the quality of your product $copely. Really impressed with how far short you have fallen of your promises once again.
This is the run up to them releasing their next £100 ship pack. Make people so peeved off that more people will cave and buy the ship just to get their normal lives back. All about the bottom line for the people at Gropely.
I foresee an Enterprise NX-01 for arc part 3, with an uncannily convenient ability to spank Xindi hostiles like they forgot to do their homework. £100 or more or <enter ludicrously long free unlock path here>.
The new hostile loop is awful. The CCs are told itāll only take 5 minutes but at ops 52 I need 40k to turn in for one chest and I canāt crack 3k per trip. And thatās with the first two levels of the favors unlocked Cāmon Scopley.
If you have the titan and have done critical chance research for the titan and or cerritos you shouldn't use them either. Also, if your metrion cascade is tiered high enough that it increases your critical chance, unequip that or use a different ship.
I'm ops 46 and have done 5 runs in my Tinga that can only kill 4-5 lvl 40 Xindi per run. Pls tell me how this is possible without draining me of all my tri??????
I canāt even kill one with a T5 Kelvin, SNW crew and first level beam doohickey. Absolutely ridiculous.
Whoever told you this would be easy is either a liar or was lied to.
Try an Isolytic crew.
I get 6 lvl 40's with Iso crew on a T7 Pilum, wtf
Surely the math is wrong š come on man! And I have to get 40k for one chest in ex borg store while the reds drop 60 per hit if Iām lucky , so far I have collected 11k , itās has cost me billions of trit and for what ? . Not grinding any more of this ! Wil be a peaceful arc for a lot of players
Here's my feedback: Screw this. I'm not spending a penny more until Scopely either doubles the loot these things drop or cuts the exchange cost in half. Ive been killing these things for 2 hours and Im only 40k/60k for a SINGLE exchange, and I'm 27B trit poorer, which is more than a double pull of Monoveen Trit, which is ANOTHER loop. So I have to do TWO loops to not loose my ass to exchange ONE ExBorg chest? No thanks.
This new loop is a giant middle finger from Scopely as far as Im concerned.
I'd like to suggest a more accurate loading splash screen for this arc.....
Yeah, if it wasnāt for my alliance- and that alone, you money grubbing scum sucking nuggets from scopely -today would be my last day playing this raggedy junk.
You may sound cynical but you speak so much truth.
Sick of scopely and the way they treat their gamers.
They at least usually have the foresight to release the new ship for purchase at the same day the new grind starts so they dont have the overwhelming majority of their players frustrated beyond belief on launch day.
There web site where you get mission keys has been messed up for months
I was more than ready to drop a c-note on the new ship today. Guess what? Not now.
I do sound cynical, but it's true. Scopely don't even know the meaning of the words "Player Engagement". What happened to the last two new Community Managers? Seems they couldn't face the feedback that the player community has to offer. Scopely isn't in this for the good of the player-base, or the engagement with the Star Trek community, or even to attempt to create a fully functional game. Scopely's ONLY priority is how much new guff can they pump into the game to make the players that remain, hoping things will get better, spend some more money.
It's a Cash Grab in every possible comprehension of the phrase.
Maybe when the Whales get fed-up and start "swimming away" they'll start to re-think things, but it's unlikely. More likely they'll stop paying their most basic AWS subscription and move on to something else.
Where do I buy the prime for 10x the loot drop on these xindi hostiles? I can only assume that's what it's going to be. Cause this isn't playable otherwise.
Absolutely spot on.
This is so bad
Iām using Picard ent as cpt with ent data and janeway. Bottom stacked with below deck health and damage and mitigation officers. Using titan and cerritos can kill 12 level 40 xindi with Kelvin, granted mine is tier nine. I donāt think the grind is worth the tritā¦
Hitting level 35's for 3 to 9 a pop? No thanks, I'm going to turn in my 2 weeks notice.
Most frustrating update yet
These Xindi's are broken right? If not, this is the opposite of a quality of life improvement
Scumley will say āfunctioning as designed.ā
Itās quality of life improvement for scopley shareholders not players you have it backwards
š¦ š¦ š¦ š¦
Mute me or Ban me, I don't care $copely. But you can have this big ol' pile of dog crap back.
I'm going spend my time on a game I don't need to dump a crap load of money into just to play the release of what is basically a new DLC.
Let me know when you come down of the drugs you are using and make it possible for people to actually use your product!
I'm sorry, the new Account Deletion pack requires 12 months of grinding with a specific new ship that costs £100 to "earn" from the store. Once you have the required base materials you can trade them in for a Partial Account Deletion Token. Once deleted you will be left with 15 pointless Account Deletion Shards in your linked email account.
Shouldn't a $100 pay walled event at least be labeled "heroic"? I was looking everywhere for that cube refit. Oh, it's just a buy-it-from-the-webstore-pay walled junk
Exborg seemed intended to bring some of best quality of life additions to the game. It was one of the greatest improvements in the gameās history. Why turn it into the least enjoyable aspect of the entire game? I strongly urge the developers to reconsider the loot drop rates to be in line with the spirit of ExBorg improvements.
Only loot drops they are concerned with are the ones coming out of your wallet.
100% I thought the same thing
loot drops for xindi even with loot crew and ships and the things from exborg shop are way to low
The loot from xindi ships are far too low, or the amount required for turns is too high. Also, the SMS is a complete joke. Iām supposed to grind 4.8m points at 50k a pop? I donāt think so. No ty scopely
T'pol is for mining? Tucker is species 8472? This has NOTHING to do with the Enterprise series. Money grab to appeal to pvp and pve players.
Can't access stfc web site to claim mission key
have you bought the Prime Access^
In an ever changing world, where its hard to rely on things, its nice to know that we can always count on Scopely screwing up in way we didnt even imagine.
Oh come on Scopely. You promised us quality over quantity for 2024, and you didnāt even make it out of January before you trashed that promise. š¤¦āāļø
Never needed it before
Another new currency which needs another new grind. Whenās the new one trick ship and prime coming to the store
You need at minimum a 42+ ship for 40 Xindi's and even there you only get about 300 credits before you get destroyed. I need 3500 for a freaking chest. Not worth the Tritanium for the 12 repairs. What about the fresh 40 level players? Good Luck to them. I dont know why i have every time good expetation when in the end i get frustrated. If not of my alliance i would leave that game. Besides that, unfortunately all words that can describe your game are censored.
why always make it look and feel like the game is work and no fun
@tacit obsidian - Most certainly someone in dev made a design/math error here - right? Either the DAILY chest pull in the faction store for Xindi has an extra zero on the cost OR the hostile loot drops are missing a zero. That chest spawns daily, but would take me two hours and 20Bil trit to complete each day.. minimum. This has to be simply a mistake, right? Please tell me it was not intended... lol
I think I'll ignore this Xindi rubbish and carry on like this update never happened.
Already skipping it
Yea stup.id, they announce it the new add on will only 5 minutes grind daily, in reality it is 5 hrs grind..... And bill on trit....
Rev Deuce said the amount of work for the xindi grind are next to 5 Minutes....with what kind of ship?
I really hope he addresses that Scopely flat out lied to him in the next video
He's probably referring to the new ship they'll spit out in part 3 and charge a ton for
The $100 pack only gets you 1/2 the prints, or so I've heard
We don't want to wait for the adjustment to be next month like wave stuff, who hasn't adjusted until today.... We want now!!!! We want adjustment to the grind time, whether you lower the chest price or add more loot ...
Five hrs grind just to open one chest ..... That is reaaaally something š”š”š”
<@&509690795536941056> I get that these new hostiles are meant to be challenging. And that's ok, it really is. But we were promised it was a 5 minute grind. Where is Scopely's test data showing a 5 minute grind? Show us the data.
The game's already crashing. No doubt back in maintenance in no time. Hostiles not disappearing, my ship had been 1 second away from docking for the last 10 minutes. You'd think they would want to LOWER the amount of hostile grinding in the game to help EASE on SERVER LOAD and REDUCE LAG. But it seems someone making the decisions over at Scopely HQ ran out of fingers to do their math on a long time ago and now they're just making it up as they go along.
More hostiles, more grind loops, afk grind loops, AWS basic and the third party code can handle it, for sure!
Still 1 second away and the reds are out in full force. Top notch development Scrapply
Another thing people should notice is that gone are the days where you get a free rare officer. Troi wasn't free and neither is this t'pring clone. I'm telling you, Scopely is reallocating resources away from STFC towards other products they believe will be more lucrative.
I think theyre just trying to get even more money out of it, because people keep paying.
So I need 2500 xindi scrap for one chest.. and the best I can hope for is 3 per hostile⦠that is longer then a 5 minute grindā¦
I suspect they forgot a 0 behind the loot, this is completely absurd. Yes I know we're still low on the new favours but when even ops 53 players are sticking to the 40 reds something is wrong
By this point I'll bet they couldn't fix this game even if they wanted to. Staff turnover at Nopely is probably 100% every month, and I'll bet the coders that created the OG code are long gone. I really feel for the temps they must be using to push this garbage out cos I bet they thought they were going to work at a "real" game development company.
Not gonna miss The Day Before: Fleet Command....I mean... Star Trek: Fntastic Command....I mean...Cash Grab: No Command when it finally shuts down.
Do the math. This is exactly why the player base lost complete trust in you.
My Feedback:; another new arc that takes away the fun of the game right from the start.
I want to know who wrote the community outreach message. It's an outright lie.
Milton, obviously.
I am so happy i have invested 100$ in prime crit chanceā¦
I seem to have noticed a latnium payout reduction by 1000 for the "Form a trade agreement" away team mission using the same officers from before the patch.
I get as a 53 about 2500-2600 a visit 15+ visits for one box is to much
The original update for ex-borg and freebooters was to reduce the grind in the game, it was a massive success and players loved it. To fix that Scopely now has āupdatedā ex borg to a new ludacris grind loop that takes hours to complete. Great update š
Why are you guys not working when a new arc comes out <@&509690795536941056>?
Do you not think its important to explain new content, take up player feedback, etc?
Its either incompetence in planing or you just dont care. Dont know whats worse.
Anyone feel like quitting, more grind more effort and less enjoyment with every ARC. This game is just because a chore
Let's make a new arc with extra grinds because that's what players want
Remember when scopley patronized us telling us they were listening to players
Bored of new bull - poop grind already - will not be doing it. Congratulations Scopely on another complete fail - how many times does it take you to learn the lesson that no one (i mean no one even the whales) starts an Arc with all researches maxed when setting the thresholds!
This is more on the quantity and "increasing grind side", agreed. We shall see if there's any (hopefully quick) responses and changes from everyone's comments.
You expect a 5 minute grind to get whatever the xindi stuff is but you can only kill 3 at a time, and only get 350 credits with a 50m power newton. that's terrible. this update sucks
New loot needs increasing or chest cost needs to be reduced. Donāt mind a grind but this is ridiculous
It's super ridiculous, i agree with you
Hey guys, after you spend months, if not years, grinding out favors and spending installments of $99 for months, the new grind should only take you a 5-10 minutes
we know the gimmick. Sell a bunch of packs this month. Then next month they will release the NX-01 with Anti-zindi bonuses to devalue the packs. making even more money selling the nx-01
Shoulda put these new systems down by the Doomsday Worms where they can also be promptly forgotten.
Wait wait wait. So the new Borg Cube refit doubles the beams but you have to grind to get a 200% charge to use it?
Whereās the benefit? Thatās not a prime.
So, on that last hostile when you get to 100%, you lose whatever goes over 100%... Now you can go to 110%, fire the beam... then have 10% in the bank still. :-). Massive time savings. LOL ... also... did they mention that it makes your cube shields purple?
they just added yellow skull flags to the xindi systems, but I think what they meant to do is decrease the chest cost by 1,000 lol
you may want to check again, they actually increased the chest cost x10
Kertoria should be elevated to level 37. This would provide a mid ground between the lvl 34 systems which only give 1 Xindi Scrap and the lvl 40+ systems, allowing faster progression for those who can't kill the 40+ ships, but have advanced much farther than what is needed to defeat the lvl 34 ships.
Naw, they're 9000, they need to be like 200.
I can no longer see how many Common ExBorg credits I have when activating favors. That's really NOT helpful
Ops 55 and these are my chest costs. Seriously, just reduce the costs now and release whatever ship or officers are going to make this anything less than a multi-hour daily grind because this is ridiculous.
This new grind is absurd. These hostiles are way overpower. You made too impossible and too expensive in repairs to do this. The cost of chest need to be reduced or the power and amount of rss you get from hostile need to be increased, or all of the above
<@&509690795536941056> I want my 1 billion or so trit I have spent trying to complete this event. These new hostiles do not pay pit enough and the lie about it being a 5 minute grind is just so typical of Scopely.
So⦠Iām getting around 700 of these scraps for one total dmg of my 30M Valdore. One scrap chest pull costs me 40k scrap at lvl52. I think you meant to remove two zeroes from that, because otherwise no one will bother. Iām certainly not going to run to those systems more than 40 times for one chest pull š
This grind is WAY too grindy. The hostile skills effectively negate the best crews for hostiles. More runs... more repairs... etc.. etc...
You're LOSING players because they don't want to spend so much time in game and now you increased the time required AGAIN.
Iāve been out here since 12-2017. I havenāt found any planets yet, claimed this cold station 11 abandoned and attached my cargo ship to it.
Ouch. I thought it was rough getting 1300 scraps, for a 2500 chest, on a 28mil Valdore
2500 chest at ops 42+? goodness they escalate fast, it's 5.5k/14k at ops 46
Lolol
Ops 43, but yea, 2500 scraps for 1 chest
Hey this is an early April fools joke rightā¦you didnāt purposely design such a stupid grind did you?
Well they saw how little people could do waves, and decided "hey, that's too many, let's make the next one even worse"
This grind is beyond terrible, I just went through FOUR G5 hulls costing about 30bil trit to get enough loot for ONE chest to get ONLY 170 of those uncommon creds. How is this remotely economical to get the favours to go through more of this grind?!!
I second for all of that, i spent like 100B trit for repairs and like hour or two and get 20k? I need 60k per chest. i think its a joke, but bad one. did someone testing something in this game? it looks like its just about all the whales and $$$.
Just for posterity, I need 95k for a single chest, and 240k for a max pull.
What crew and ship are you running?
Once again you launch a new arc and the iPad app crashes every 2 minutes I have no other app that ever crashes sort it out Scopley or you might lose your license
What I find hilarious right now the feed back isnāt about the glitches, lag, or even the fact the games isnāt working. I will give you all some credit, this update is far less glitchy than many before. But the overwhelming feedback back is this grind loop. I will say this again, this is way too much. We have players leaving because you all constantly and consistently add more and more without making other things easier. We have at least 6 different mada types, 8 different hostile types for dailies, refineries, research, buildings , waves, q trials, artifacts, FT,command center, officers,mining mats, building and scraping ships, sms, slbs, albs, multiple Battlepasses, and now thisā¦. Damn I have anxiety just thinking about everything that needs to be done.
It's like when a CEO of a big corp sees that thing that everyone loved and says "do more of that" because it made big money the first time, therefore it will continue to do so. Yet every time it burns people out and they have to scramble to do something different while the excess old stuff just sits unused.
This is the most ridiculously designed content Iāve experienced since I started playing. Usually you can at least handle the day 1 grind maybe 30 min tops, but this new grind sucks hours of time.
I'm gonna be the odd one here I like that fact they've introduced a harder grind that has made us think about crews etc but Jesus not enough systems I haven't been able to get into 35 40 41 or 42 systems for hours. Then I get maybe 150 in a run. This needs tweaking but I'm glad we have a tougher grind and by tougher I mean a grind you have to think about
The chest requirement for xindi hostile loot exchange needs to be dropped by factor 10 at least. Otherwise they can shove this loop up their arsenal
Nobody has had an issue with being moved to find usable crews. The issue is the time it takes, as well as the repair cost/loot gain ratio is extremely disproportionate to each other. Add to that they said it would be a 5min grind. However, that information is based off having everything maxed out.
@tacit obsidian @royal solar "State of the game" We have been given yet another grind to accomplish in this game. Freebooters was a great initiative but the ball was dropped for implementation of it to these other grinds that keep getting added..
This shouldn't be a 40+ hour a week game. Real world people have families, work, every day real life grinds to accomplish.
Itās 95k and 250k for ops 55. Finished the sms, and still didnāt get enough for a single pull š
can $copely please shorten the regenaration rate of all armadas, especially when you make events around them
Did you either go up an ops, or upgrade the shuttle bay? I have found both of those things have affected my numbers (loot/difficulty/points needed vs rewards) š¤·āāļø
Submitted a ticket on December 16th because I want getting any rewards from daily events, dailies, or season pass rewards. Scopely just told me im out of luck and there isn't anything they can do. If I was one of there whales with a handler I guarantee this would not be the out come. Scopely doesn't care unless you unless you spend $$$$$.
This new grind is absolutely ridiculous
Youāre not the odd one. I feel the same way
Same. Finished the SMS, still 15k shy of the first pull š¤£š¤£š¤£
I donāt think anyone is against a grind thatās harder in regards to crew considerations. However, a grind that takes enormous rss and time each day? That is not a harder AND fun grind. Itās demoralizing.
I do not mind the grind, I do however mind having my precious time wasted. Oh, and my 30bil in trit I burned through between a T6 VorāCha and T11 Pilum as I lumbered through multiple attempts at finding the crew/system/ship balance that offered the best possible return for the time and rss being spent. Three HOURS of this to finish the smsā¦and still not have enough for a single pullā¦nah, you can keep that āchallengeā, I am gonna fold mine and put it back in my pocket and walk away. Big nope.š
Hey people, swarm knowledge is in demand again š when is the new wave pass coming? does anyone know anything? greeting
Someone thinks this is either appropriate or funny..
Grind aside folks, when you've spare credits you can get raw/broken rss
Go have a word with yourself folks..
Not to mention 4* and 5* jus mixed together from ops 55-59?!?!?!
Im confused.. is this an Enterprise Arc? Or is it a Picard/Voyager Arc...
Even with all the xindi specific favors maxed out it is a multi hour grind. Not sure what crack they are smoking to suggest maxing those favors would make it five minutes unless they are only considering the rare survey hitsā¦.
Idk. I noticed a massive difference just getting T1 of Particle Beam Delay, and again when getting T2. Especially once I started using the right crew. Based on that alone, I would say it's possible.
No one is complaining about the mechanic of delaying the particle beam attack, they are complaining about the sheer numbers of drops it takes to do one single pull from the faction store.
and the repair costs to make that happen
You too can get a 5 minute grind for the low low price of $1000 and finish missions so you get a handful of speedups
Scopay releasing broken updates as per usual.
Get an error code 5 and crash screen any time I accept the new missions from holodeck
Hey $copely, if your goal is to lose all players except for the Whales ..... your doing a fine job.
They are making all the whales quit too, don't worry. Just today had a lvl 61 from my alliance delete the game.
Definitely not a whale but I can tell you that I know more than a few whales/dolphins that have reduced spending over the last few months over all the bugs, the lack of value, lack of enforcement of TOS, etc. They all love the IP but don't like what's happening.
Everyone is FED UP with the lack of testing and quality control with the broken "features" that get rushed out.
Not to mention the base game connectivity and stability. Gigabit internet and still have unprecedented lag in doing basic tasks in game.
@crisp dome
@north perch
PLEASE focus on the core aspects of the game instead of piling on new content that won't function properly due to to the server/game instability.
I agree that a milestone change for ops 50+ looks like it maybe needed. And maybe some adjustment to either drop rates or chest pulls. But overall I do enjoy the fact that for this and wave defense, that itās not something we can crush right from the jump. I like difficult but agree that the ātime suckā needs to be looked at.
And the trit for repair bills. Iāve easily dropped over 50-60 billion
so is there even an ideal crew to do these new hostiles?
These new hostiles make me wanna just quit the game. Far too much grind time in this game before you added the last 153 loot loops. Now I have one that I need to kill my Korinar 40+ times for one single chest.
I want a trit apology pack for this nonsense.
Scopes: you need to be clearer on the difference between a daily grind and an SMS. You absolutely lit yourself on fire with this. Also, <@&509690795536941056> why in the WORLD did they take away the sliders from the multiphasic store?
I am now regretting the packs I bought last month. You want us to spend? Give us fun. Give us hope. Donāt step on our necks and tell us how good we could have it. Extortion is not fun. Iām not sure Iāll even open the game tomorrow. What a relief it will be, days without this ever-longer list of chores.
Suggestion for scopely, whatever your on stop using it and go to rehab. This new arc is garbage on top of the garbage you put out last 10 arcs. You just might have killed the game altogether. Get help.
Cant kill a level 40 xindi, and the 30s give 1 credit per kill š trying real hard not to get banned from commenting again on here š
Too much grind. Too many currencies. Too much "new content".
This grind is horrible scopely. W t f
How exactly does this new loop take five mins
Xindi grind is awful. Game just keeps getting worse. š
Xindi grind is horrible. š
I really wonder who makes such decisions as first with wave defense and now with Xindi. Usually you make the start easy to pick up as many players as possible and it gets harder the further you progress. That way you at least have an incentive to invest money. But what the hell is the point of building up what feels like an insurmountable wall even before the new content actually starts? Anyone who can't farm 40+ effectively will have zero interest in spending any more time on it. Nobody farms the 30s for 3500 credits per day. Wave defense is already dead on my server and this won't last long here either.
Its the Scopely Way. Month 1 is awful so the whales spend lots of money to make it easier. Next Month they will release the NX-01 with some sort of zindi buff. Then they get to sell the NX-01 to the whales and everyone else
If they introduce NX-01 for grinding xindi, than its Stoopid decision, how can they introduce a new system, but then give the ship to open the new system by next month -- Vidar not like that, Stella not like that, meridian is not like that, Franky not like that, tallios not like that, voyager not like that, cube not like that, manoveen not like that and etc etc etc....
They already showed the NX-01 model. They also showed a Xindi Armada.
This new content is just bad the grind per day has increase with this launch exponentially. The officers look absolutely terrible whoever had the idea to make Trip a loot officer for 8472 hostiles should probably be fired as he should be a loot officer for Xindi. Protected cargo and ore mining for Tpol is another terrible choice. If the NX-01 is released to grind these new hostiles again itās another new āSpecialty Ship.ā So pretty much everything the community has been telling you guys for months got flushed and you went the opposite way altogether. Wave defence while not a complete failure is still a bit of a bust. Just today 3 members of my alliance hung up the game forever and I am hearing other alliances are experiencing the same. Other Stfc related servers I follow I am hearing similar things happening game wide. Players Are Quitting because you are failing to realize what the game actually needs yet your pumping out QUANTITY when you promised QUALITY. As for the update itself I will give you a silver star for at least being less buggy on launch but 12 hours since the update launched massive lag and even bigger complaints. I have been playing this game since Beta and players I started this game with are now getting to the end of their rope with the additions and the monetization of the game. If itās something that will benefit the player base itās a problem when itās the other way itās totally fine and you have no interest in fixing it, fail to heed the warnings you are getting from the community and the players in this game will be gone and youāll have no one to spend at all
when is terrtioy restset please you devs said every 3 moths bp finished + new ships often come out in part 2 part one is intducining new area and new bugs
like wise with incusion player feed back said 24 hr was to long we got 12 hrs then oh devs put it back to 24 hr with out telling any one our wish list less new carp fix old content bug fix the game reduce pack price or smaller packs and work with what you have keep it simple stuiped old school
Come on @tacit obsidian whatās the point of doing ExBorg dailies as usual if even those meagre points donāt register?
@unique forge I still have crashes more on 2nd day than I did on battle pass release date. The fact things get added with bugs and more work for actually less reward is so uncalled for after months of explicit mentioning. The household game as well but not with scopely and I've yet to hear these blokes for month on month about same issues. So whatever this company is smoking, is NOT GOOD FOR THEM. redonkeyless
Scopely doesnāt do any quality and play tests ⦠I canāt believe that this content was ever tested with different ships, levels and officers.
That's why no spending
Does anyone know when the new wavepass will come?
been asking that about the territoy lab should have been tuesday but devs are lazey
Where do we start..
Why take away the mutiphasic slider away I have like 40k credits to spend.
Why is the 1st chest pull 95k that's some crazy grind...along with mega repair bills.
Wave defence is rubbish and not worth my time.
200% loot will also make a big difference
Fun how theyāve done nothing to fix the constant ipad crashes still. Pumping out more loop content instead of fixing isnāt quality over quantity.
Waht do we want less trash what we need bugs fix want do we want less lag what do we need less grind
well said, iām hanging in a few more days to see if thereāll be a change but if not iāll be out for sure.
Not convinced they know how to fix that easily, other than declaring a whole load of devices as not supported.
there seems to be an issue with wave defence and android too. crashing on wave start. (can negate it by restarting the game while the count down is happening)
They āfixedā that, still happens on IOS too though
sounds fixed if its still happening on both android and ios š¤£
āMildly occasionally less worseā
Oh it was worse than before
i have the same problem on android, but just when I am the first who enter the system and when I start before timer runs out. Does your game crash too when you are not the first in the system?
What an impossible grind the new xindy scraps thing is. If you cant beat the 40s you have a 700 to 800 hostile grind on average to get 1 (!) scrap exchange! Worthless addition to the game which AGAIN takes huge amounts of time! Nothing true of the ājust 5 minutes more timeāā¦.
i used/tried 5, GG, tal or Lorca, Kang, 5 and have corvus t4
don't use lorca
Do you know why you experience less lag and buggy, because NO ONE PLAYS the game for the new arch , everyone gave up their hours of hours grinding xindi š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
And i thought faction hunt was bad⦠but you need less points and get more points per hostileā¦. Jeezā¦.
Why am I busting my balls trying to get these missions done? The sms rewards are absolutely crap @tacit obsidian you guys are seriously failing the āqualityā side of your 2024 promiseā¦š
it seems to happen regardless of who starts the wave. The countdown finishes (or someone starts it) and within 2 seconds of the initial wave start it crashes - as I said in previous message if you restart game whilst still in prep countdown for wave starting it will not crash for the whole wave defence
If they did what they did with the dominion and changed the loot drop to higher it would be fine.
Level 55 player: ship NC T6, crew Picard t2, Data t4 and 5 (loot crew). 200% loot bonus via exborg store. Maximum loot with chests approx. 30k. 95k Need for one faction-store chest= 3-4 fly and repair. It's unbelievable that these incompetent developers are throwing this at us! More quality? No. It doesn't get any worse. As always, no reaction from scopely to this rubbish. The players are leaving YOU! The same game every month for every arc: unnecessary promotional videos, lousy preparation and ignorance of the customers.
That's not the quality they meant or?
This arc is still last years āqualityā, obviously, having been developed in 2023.
this new grind is ridiculous. Going to cost me 20B in trit in repairs daily just to be able to do a daily pull of these materials. no thanks. happy to leave this new grind die untouched
The Xindi grind is probably the worst thing this game got since a long long time. More grind, all established game mechanics broken and requirements are ridiculously high. We were promised improvements and the first arc already makes it all worse.
@tacit obsidian
The Xindi surveys really despawn way too fast. Takes 2 hits with my Vor'cha for the 51's, but even disco summoning back isn't fast enough half the time.
I'll do it once to get the event syndicate xp but there's something wrong when Ops 41 maxed augur can't kill an already nearly dead level 40 xindi with different variations of crew, 2nd tier research done and 2 buffs. most def a cash grab, don't need to know techno babble to figure that out.
@everyone - so what's the deal, has scopley decided to update the game today because of all the negative feedback or are they gonna hold steadfast and lose more players?
@nocturne jackal - remove the blocked word instead of reposting blocked content
Don't try to tag everyone.
Doubt we'll hear anything til later in the week
If we hear anything
The beatings will continue until spending improves.
Once again, another arc that is useless on our server that is still level locked. Texas class, wave defense, and now ex Borg. If scopely wants to keep releasing 40+ arcs, then they need to reconsider having 39 as the first level lock
Move the ship ability fuel somewhere at the very bottom, put a warning, or remove it. In a horrible spot for an accidental click and the pull is trash.
I tried scopely. At present drop rates, and damage to G5 ships (consumption of RSS), it just doesn't make sense to commit this amount of time and effort for rewards that I will recognize as being valuable in the long run, but the ramp to get there is just too high right now. You've lost a battlepass customer this arc.
I would like the ability to minimize things like extra builders/research i will not EVER get. Or event iāll not even attempt to compete in
My thoughts on the new officers:
First officers shouldn't have below deck abilities, but should have captain abilities.
This was an opportunity to release new Kelvin style morale officers with better effectiveness for higher players. Botched.
T'Pol should have been an updated Kelvin Spock, and not a miner. (to at least fit with the theme of Vulcan first officers)
Tripp should have been a warp range extender below decks. Why would I put him on Voyager? There are too few officer slots available for most players to make him effective there.
Recommendations for a theme: Phlox increases xindi loot - similar to VOY Doctor
Hoshi - I was going to go with strip shields, but "delay xindi beam effectiveness" might be better
Travis - warp speed/impulse speed below
Reed - does critical damage to xindi anyway.
Archer - some morale crud as officer ability. don't really care anymore.
I swear, if Archer is a stupid miner instead of Shran (The Andorian Mining Consortium runs from NO ONE!) ....
Temporal Agent Daniels - resets this stupid timeline and erases this arc all together.
I love the loading screen. Y'all nailed that part!
Someone has been doing too many drugs AGAIN.
SCOPLEY you need to make your employees put down the crack pipe while at work.
Thankfully they didnāt add in the awful theme song
Give it to me in a prime even. Prime minimize powers. Iāll give you guys $50 to make my screen less cluttered
I personally have given up on xindi already, i wont be participating. At least with waves a couple big players can support their alliance for a decent run. Way to many grinds in this game, i took a day off to see how long it would take to complete all the daily milestones and grinds for max pulls and its was literally a 9 hour work day to do it all. Unrealistic for those of us not living in moms basement
Quality over Quantity???????
Btw who got idea that we need 4th build queue? With all building dependencies and struggle for resources I cant even fill up existing ones.
Anyone else love how scopeply just go silent and hide when everyone is angry at another foot in mouth moment and just imagine we are all happy lol
How sloppy the Scopely development processes are
Ok, so I need 2500 Xindi scrap to get 1 pull from the ex-borg faction store...and each 34-35 Xindi drops 1 scrap...Sorry Scopely, but I have other things in life. I can't spend 5 hours grinding, and My 8M jelly is no match for the Overpowered level 40.
As usual, the silence from Scopely is deafening.
You know things are beyond rock-bottom when even the community managers can't even be bothered.
Lvl 55, T11 Talios, Pic-E T2/Data-E T3/5of11, max beam delay, T2 Crit floor. Iām 6 hulls in and have barely managed to get 30k scraps. Single pull is 95k for me. How was this supposed to be a 5-10min thing?
This is one hell of a grind added for a small pull that takes long time...this is not fun or what we want
This game is rapidly failing - and has been ever since Savvy took over Scopley....each arc has been worse/ more boring/ more pay to play, than the last one and it's still declining. I don't even think they know anything about star trek - Trip going against species 8472, T'Pol's now a mining crew - c'mon...
Also a massive trit sink. Total waste of time and rss
PVP is terrible, balance the ship power and fix the pvp levels. This is ridiculous and completely unacceptable. Only baby punchers think this pvp is a good range, enough have complained. You already lost players over it
Dmād you
46 lvl. 5.5k one chest and 14k for double pull.... that's around 200 kills of 40's xindi npc. 7-9 npc per valdore hull. thats make 25 times to fly and grind. This took 3hr for me. Ex-borg suppused to breakdown grind mechanics, but instead raised grind time to absolute. and i also have to do voyager and pickle grind......
Everyone here complains about the same thing, scopely doesn't care, they don't even react. Draw your own conclusions.
Because we all feel better after
Scopely needed something to keep the Whales Spending
But thatās who scope wants to cater to. Cetacean Worship is a very real thing. Just remember⦠those who payed to play baby seal clubber in a phone game, probably paid big time to be able to do it, and therefore reflects their character. Probably because their RL is falling apart. Or has, because of their excessive spending.
can we not just get it over and done with have the ship we want enter F and B and C refits to A
noone here has deducted scopely*s masterplan:
just BUY your daily pull for 99$ and you get the double pull for free!
125M corvus with ent-e, ent-data, 5 loaded. the doctor and tendi below deck. This is the combo that has gotten the most scrap per corvus hull for me. Two levels into the particle beam delay favor. I get around 6k scrap per hull killing level 46 xindi. I need 95k scrap for one refine. That's about 16 corvus hulls for one refine. This grind is not worth my time or tritanium for the rewards the scrap refine gives. Really wish they would have released the NX-01 if it's supposed to help with this grind and given bps out in this battle pass.
Scopely stopped eforcing terms of service and community standards years ago. Players who spend a lot especially can say what they want and Scopely will just close the ticket.
They fully endorse and by their lack of action and accountability for their big money spenders, implicitly allow anti-semitism, homophobia and racism. Money walks in the front door, and justice walks out the back.
Bet it's available if you spend enough
Need to adjust the new hostiles to drop more loot
Ops 55 is a pain point for this new 'loop' too high repairs, too little loot.
10 runs to get enough for 1 pull around
50B in repairs daily
15 days for one level of that crit fix favor which needs to be level 4 to start to be of value
That's with maxing the particle beam delay
That's with level 2 of the loot favor
I might have understood if the loop launched with the ship. It didn't, you're frustrating the player base without any meaningful way to even spend to relieve
You can file Xindi in with the waves under GARBAGE. I just spent about 2 hours taking them down and got just over 500 scraps. Then I find that I need 5 times that amount and then of course you have your "CHANCE OF" rewards that can be filed with the Xindi and the Waves. Not worth the time. Way short on having a good idea!
So.... Mitchell 2.0? Definitely a must have!
This xindi content is garbage, circular grind, very few game impacting benefits. Super tedious and frustrating with no real purpose. The favors don't really do much outside of the couple that help with the grind a little bit.
The prime that you're going to sell to sort of normalize these hostiles is a straight up money grab.... Create a problem, sell a prime to fix the content but don't drop the prime until everyone is completely frustrated and giving up on the content.
You've introduced content that deliberately negates a great deal of work previously done for other reasons. My ships are optimized for pvp, I've spent a great deal of time, money and effort to that purpose so my ships crit constantly, but the mechanic introduced here turns that against me so at ops 52 I'm pretty much unable to kill these reds with any level of effectiveness.
I have to grind for two+ hours, 5-6 epic hulls just to get enough for one pull in the faction store that doesn't reward very much material.
Complete garbage.
Since they just added a favor that heals the ship, does this mean the ones provided by the Titan and Cerritos work now? Will they stack??
There is nothing in the Cerritos or Titan research trees that regenerates hull, before, during or after a fight....
well this game sucks
Then what does Titan Patch and Shield Recycling do? Titan Patch specifically says Restores Shield Health Every Round while Max Fortified.
Also, you forgot to mention they added an officer (Trip) that does the same thing as those ships for PVP.
i don“t get the leveling system - i“m lvl 5 and i know games where you don“t need an eternity to level up from 1 to 10 - half an hour playing and you can be something around 21
you do realize the difference between "hull" and "shields"?^^
Sorry I refer to heal as any form of heal, hull or shields. I have used both of those skills and have not read healing. Now you could say it is an invisible (not mentioned in battle report) heal and have to believe it works in faith.. but I haven't seen a reflection of this in battle reports either? Example: shields go down, no healing happens.
Also, still asking if it stacks as well.
Shield regeneration in most cases is hard to see. During combat you will only see a shield recharge in the logs by having the shield depleted in one round, then getting shield damage again in the next round.
Shield regeneration is only moderately useful, but hull regeneration (which this favor does) is entirely different... I do not have it yet, so I can't tell how effective it is, but nothing is going to stack with it from Cerritos or Titan. There are, however, a couple of officer abilities that may stack on it.
Why is alliance contributions not working
Trying to get my Server 99 account linked to my GooglePlay and Scopely accounts to come up on my Kindle Fire but it's not working right and won't link.
Homophobia who's scared of houses?
Where's the quality over quantity we're supposed to be experiencing this year?
Sorry this new arc is garbage. The grind time on Xindi is just ridiculous to open a single box for very little reward. Ex Borg was supposed to be the answer to long grinds and yet here we are with it now being one.
There's another game that's fun to play, packs only run $4.99-$19.99, it doesn't crash every 5 minutes and the best part it's not run by dopely....
Stormshot, it's a pirate game but still
you all need to make a movie enterprise...like from star trek the motion picture or wrath of khan...
Quality over quantity. Looking for the 5 minute grind but ended up with an hour grind which cost me 10 billion tritanium in ship repairs. This is really missing the mark.
Hello dev? Where is the feedback from you guys? It's already 48 hrs since the new arch Out, it's been 48 hrs of mess, where is your answer?? Everyone asking? Everyone leaving?
It must have been a typo and it was supposed to say quantity over quality cuz right out the gate the game crashes twice as bad and there's a ton of new useless crap that takes forever to get..... ohh and you have to get favors and research done before you can even start grinding even if you spend some money
Scopely knows what theyāve done and they do not care. No reason to keep hashing it. Leave the game or accept the abusive relationship.
I had to laugh when I heard there was a 5 minute grind. I think in scopely terms every minute actually equates to 15
it is a 5 minute grind, 5 minutes or less and you're back at your station with a repair bill
This is Xindi arc is bull. This game was homework the game before but now I'm about ready throw in towel since you had to add lab time to homework. I can't express how much I love getting my ass kicked repeatedly because you need to have a 5* ship to be competitive and the complete lack of instructions. Screw the videos - I want print
Xindi is bull you know what we pay you to play this game tone it down or you might start to lose money duh
Xindi arc is a joke
Iām done with the Xindi grind. Level 46 T7 Kelvin. Because I donāt have E-Picard itās 20 hulls per pull. I have pulled once and Iām done till itās fixed properly. (E-Borg is the faction that saves you time - Scopely) š
They meant it is a 5 minute grind then your ship is destroyed and you must fly again and again for 5 minutes till you have enough loot. š¤Ŗ
well, to be fair, the percentage is dependent on the whole power and you built a weapon in between. The over all power raised, the power gained by building the next weapon isn't as high in relation to the new power than to the old one. E.g. wepon gives +10 Power. Power before 100, it is a solid 10% plus. Now you built a weopon wich gives you +20 (to have a different number). Total Power 120. Now it is a +10 for 120, so it is around 8ish % +
The only thing in all that crap that's worth anything is the efficiency favors...... anything else you get only helps with the xindi and nothing else in the game
New Prime that Scopely wont sell?
there'll probably be a 'buy pack' event in a week or something
once everyone is thoroughly fed up with the xindi and willing to pay to alleiviate the grind
It'll be on sale on the 15th to coincide with the event.
It still won't solve the problem about 5 minutes grind š±š±š±
Yeah, No. they can suck it. Money stays in my pocket, and my gaming interests just go elsewhere.
my next pack is probably going to be a Grey Knight Combat Patrol from GW š¤£
At least that youāll have a physical product š.
@royal solar @tacit obsidian ever gonna fix the strength meter on the ASB yāall broke 2 updates ago?
If everyone rated the game fairly in the stores, maybe that would be a way to get scopely to listen to the customers. So far no response to the criticisms of the new arc, which is just rubbish.
And the more they introduce the more the game crashes out. Iāve done well if I manage 5 minutes š©
i agree with you
what is scopely trying to do we free to play players can hardly kill enough to pull 1 chest
FOR THE EMPEROR!
Just the one? At least commit to the JoyToy version
I updated my macBook to Sonoma and can not play the game anymore. Will not log on.
An awful lot of grinding to get to 40k credits for one box, and this is the result? Itāll be a hard pass for me for this area of the game from now on.
You should try the 60K at ops 53. I've pulled the chest 1 time for 2 days, and I'm done doing it anymore. It's either T1 Corvus 17 hulls at 42.5B trit repair bill or T6 Pilum 24 hulls with 2.5B trit in repairs and hours of grind.
I'M DONE!!!
Not doing it any more. The time savings in the Ex-Borg store just don't justify the work to do them.
For me this is as much of a fail as Assaults.
When Ex-Borg was released at the beginning of last year it was a huge time saving in game. That saving has been eroded throughout 2023.
When I heard that Ex-Borg was the first thing in 2024 I was excited that we would get a similar saving and boy I was wrong. When we see a roadmap that says Quality over Quantity is the focus for this year and then this is the first thing released well wow, this doesn't bode well.
I congratulate Scopely on releasing something with minimal bugs on day one, yes it functions. But user experience is the worst release we've seen
The new ex borg is just another part of the game wont be doing rewards are š©
4 more high 40's and low 50s quit... is this the end?
Please remember this is sarcasm.... This new 5-minute loop is amazing
Yeah no bugs, but it is only killing reds so surely not even Scopely can mess that up? š¤
This might easily be the best arc that we've seen so far in STFC for 2024. I think we all can agree on that.
I find it incredible that despite all this negative feedback, in the official discord channel, there has been zero response from someone official on this absolute horror show they have given us.
I agree, the silence has been absolutely maddening. Something should be said, even a "we hear you and are talking" is better than nothing
But slow mode was enabled š. So they are reading? Maybe?
it's always on, because these are feedback channels š¤·āāļø
They are reading all comments. Theyāre up to 2020
They don't read these, they only read the whale discord. The peasant opinions are not relevant. IF you want invited to that discord, up your spending...
@tacit obsidian and devs. I really liked EnderSwords YouTube vid -> top 5 improvements to STFC in 2024. I really suggest you guys watch it. ( not even talking xindi stuff š )
are you serious
Scopely is just making a fool of itself. It's funny how a company tries so hard to lose customers
@tacit obsidian This is a joke right?
Resignation of all directors and owners of Scopely nowšŗšŗšŗ
Just noticed that the Voyager Ex-Borg efficiency gives enough Deuterium Canisters for a single chest pull, but not enough Exotic Biotoxins for a single chest pull. All the other efficiencies in the Ex-Borg store give enough for 2x single or 1x double chest pull. Eg: Voyager T4-6 efficiency gives 2500 Biotoxins, but the single chest at T5 Voyager is 9400. It's not even close to half.
1st place rewards for an ops 44 player in thr Armada Hunt ALB. How's that "Quality over Quantity" going <@&509690795536941056> ?
That very very very not so rewarding reward is not just me then š the post above āļø is the same for ops 46
Ops doesn't matter. Our 64 gets the same thing
Scopely stands for Quality - we all have to remember š.
Yup, ops 53 here, I just quit after 5 years
hah thats funny, i havent even looked at the rewards
I'm getting a Error Code 5 quite a lot recently. What the heck is up with this?
Good question. Wonder if they will have an answer cause it's annoying as all get out
who comes up with these numbers ? why cant you just round them up so there are no left overs ? you can spend in multiples of 400, give them in multiples of 400
even if you buy extra packs, there will be some left over
They don't care cuz people just keep spending money on the game.....why would they fix anything when y'alls credit cards ain't broken
So much for lessoning the grind. This hirogen event is stupid time consuming. I dont mind grinding to complete stuff but this is over the top. This is another, on top of many, reason(s) that players are leaving the game. Instead of only asking whales about the game how about listening to everyone. This is an event I'll not be putting any effort into.
Hi! Who can I talk to about a promotion with the game?
Fix the crashes, fix the crashes and fix the crashes.
Iāve been on for 30 minutes and itās crashed 10 times no error codes the game just closes. Itās an absolute joke and you get the same bs response weāre releasing an update which does nothing for the problem. I donāt even think you know what the problem is and youāve definitely never acknowledged it.
Why is the Borg cube level locked? I can't get to tier 2 until i get to level 33.
While I understand the generic nature of the news allows for a simple copy/pasta, having a little bit more info like date and target server would be great.
Very simple information. Your server brings too little money... so server merging. It will be funny a lot of quarrels and war. Some will stop, but many buy pretty PvP stuff and Scoply is happy about more sales. š„³
Feedback: Xindi grind = š©
Why does an ops 52 have to compete with an ops 66 for an SLB? That's incredibly dumb...
MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71) appears to break STFC MacOS client's ability to click on anything game related including the Finder menu (which makes no sense but whatever). Proceed with the upgrade at your own risk. Yes, I've rebooted. Yes, I've done Scopes' shenanigans. Yes, I've submitted a ticket.
Using fullscreen mode is a workaround while you wait for the fix.
Are they even thinking of creating new brackets for g5 players or they are just satisfied with a handful of players in each server paying to win and loosing the baby whales along the way?
There is no SLB auction scheduled this weekend. You can decide for yourself if you like their new system.
until the 60-70 have enough people to populate their own bracket they are not going to give them an easy path of cheap wins. Sticking them with the 50s means they still have to spend more then they would against just 60s
wut, they already have a cheap easy path for wins, sticking them with the 50 means the 50s have to spend more, not them
if they limited it to 60-70s only then they would have like 3-4 people to compete with. they could coordinate and agree on who wins what and when for cheapest prices etc. Player A could get to win Week 1s while agreeing to let Player 2 win Week 2 etc
they can do that already, g6 has no competition aside from themselves
@tacit obsidian what ever happened to reducing in game time needed? Since the ex borg were introduced and cut some time we have seen a number of new grinds⦠formation armadas (at least they are not a daily grind), voyager grind, Monaveen (not a grind for most as most just let chaser hostiles hit), Qās trials (smaller daily grind), borg cube (worst grind mechanic to date), waves and now Xnidi grind (another bad grind so far). Not only is quality an issue this increase in grinds and time needed when it was said this would be worked on is another reason players are leaving.
Yeah, lots of people on my server are ANGRY about this Xindi grind. Every additional ridiculous grind loop brings us all closer to the end of this game.
Itās one more reason to not believe the whole promise to do better with quality by reducing new content. If you could only make good on prior promises for short periods before completely reversing them why should we believe you will change now? We will get a couple of stable releases and then they will look at the bottom line and crank out the new content in less time than ever (aka more bugs than ever). While I am no whale I have held off on some purchases I would have done in the past due to all this. Itās only a matter of time before I say forget this Iām out.
Thank you Scopely for giving the whales the ability to speed up madas. Let me guess, the whales complained that itās unfair that we can cloak for madas and this speedup favor is Scopelyās response for them.
er...
Bru you can speed them up as well if you unlock the ability....... it's not something you have to pay for
I understand that. Its how its being used by a whale alliance on my server to steal others alliances madas. Little hard to speed something up that only 1 or 2 player ships has made it to the mada yet. Warring server destroying alliance swoops in with a 2 bill power ship and steals the mada with the press of a button. Wasting our epic directives that take forever to collect enough of.
Ohhhh well that's war...... can't blame dopely for that one lol
@tropic sinew met stfc much? been 5 yrs...
Wait, wut?
No peeking
Weird
On top of events we also need all the resources for our other daily grinds (probes, monaveen, mantis, Borg cube, condo) it would be nice for you to raise the hostile roof now
This is just one example of the pvp brackets being too wide. This player doesn't stand a chance against me. Even using a smaller ship.
Its a shame they canāt base pvp off something other than level
@tacit obsidian @royal solar could you all please review your commitment to āLESSā grind from last year. I mean between the cube, section 31 and this arc youāve essentially quadrupled it
Is this supposed to happen after you max out particle beam delay? My ship didn't crit at all.
You will eventually die from the regular weapons yes. This wasnāt on full hull I assume.
Not on full hull. Just making sure it's the regular crit and nothing special. Not finding any real consistency in how many I can kill in a run.
Thanks so much for completely jamming up the scopely store so I couldnāt claim my daily mission finder key!
the cube refit is false advertising at its best. ātwo shots with one chargeā but without the fine print that the charge is 200%. what a way to discourage, disappoint, and annoy players!! If youāre going to screw the player base, at least be honest!!
Why is it that at level 55, when I have a absolute wall of non-stop rare G5 material requirements for every building to get to 56, do no $99 packs have rare G5 in them, one common and uncommon? That's basic economic motivation to buy. I'm not going to spend $100 on a pack that doesn't have the materials that I actually need in it.
Let me distract you a little from the pressing problem with Xindi.
Field training.
I trade 100 tokens per day.
There is nowhere to get them except at the refinery.
So I still need over 800 days to complete this workout.
More than two years!
Are you freaking crazy and are not familiar with mathematics at all?
The 3 year commerce token field training has been brought up ad nauseam for months. They. Donāt. Care.
They are so ignorant of mathematics that for some reason they put a formula for calculating the area of a circle segment on the starting graphics...
its refreshing coming back in here after moving on to better games to see how they still havenāt changed a thing for the better
@tacit obsidian I think that change to the Xindi is great and welcomed. Thank you.
I appreciate that these changes were made rather quickly @tacit obsidian
Yes but I just did the 1 chest at 95k proper gutted
@tacit obsidian Thanks for info on the new Xindi scrap cost, when will this go live?
@tacit obsidian Props to you and the team for making these changes! š»
@tacit obsidian , would have been more helpful to provide any insights into whether the hostiles themselves are going to have their loot changes, OR if the plan is to potentially introduce NX-01 as a specialty ship that would give dmg boost against Xindi and loot bonuses via research. It's a pattern we see already and quite frankly were expecting with this type of introduction.
WIll go live today
From what I've been told
Only thing that is changing right now is the cost of the redeem
Still a joke. So I'm now down from 17 Corvus hulls to get a single pull to 6 hulls. This is not worth the 16.5B trit it's going to cost. Scopely can keep this new functionality and arc and put it in the same place as Assaults. BTW the way I know it's not your fault, you are just passing on the news. I'm just giving honest feedback from an OPS 53 player
As much as I loved the Enterprise show, the NX-01 simply should not exist in the game. By lore it simply wouldn't have the warp range needed to reach the Xindi systems like at all. Warp 5 was it's max.
In order to make the ship viable for the Xindi grind it would make the NX-01 a better ship than the op 34 Enterprise when it shouldn't.
@tacit obsidian seriously do any of you actually play the game?
It's not live til now. Will i get a new chance to pull a further chest within 22h-cooldown after Scop changed this today?
At ops 49 I'm killing the level 40's to get about 9k loot in about 10 minutes..with a t9 Pilum. Anything Higher and I get less than 4k loot per hull and die terribly
Let's see, what's happen .... No risk, no fun. š„³
yeah I feel like they ""test"" this stuff by having an account maxed with everything they could have for that ops, which would take like 20 years of loops, and say "HEY YOU CAN DO IT"
The most my T1 corvus is taking out is six 46s, they die on the 48s
Dear Scopely, there is a reason why people aren't hitting close to their ops level.......
Just spend more money in the store. You'll be fine. There's no problem with 6 mortgages to pay for progress in a game
NO. š¤£
@tacit obsidian how about some compensation for folks that opened the chest already?
So freaking done with this game
To be fair, the mods are probably the ones that play the game the most. They aren't scopely employees, they are just volunteers here, doing a lot of work that scopely employees actually should do. Like the entire #š«-event-information channel is maintained by them lol
when is the scrap going down from 2500 to 800 i have restarted and repaired my client many times and its still showing the same amount.
Are the new Xindi Scrap Exchange values showing up for anyone yet? I haven't seen it reflected on the PC version of the game yet. (NOTE: I already pulled the 2 chests earlier today)
I know that and I totally agree with your answer. My former post was only a funny answer because it was possible to give it. The moderators are doing a really good job in this channel. š»
these new Xindi scrap values are just too little too late.
You packaged and billed the product as MINIMAL time investment, and lied to the CC's saying 5 minutes.
What was delivered at ops 52 was a required 100 hostile kills for a daily chest redeem - at about 6 kills per ship-hull when punching down to the 44's
Now you're trying to cut it down by 75%, which is a great reduction - BUT STILL the longest of any daily grind in the game.
This should have come out of the gate at a minimal grind, and favors making it very easy to accomplish.
Not coming out as a terrible grind and favors making it tolerable.
@tacit obsidian you guys can do better, sharpen your pencils
today is only 4hrs still for me and i cant see any change
You need all 3 of these not just the delay
Y'all don't feel as bad as i do i bet, I'm ops 44 and can't even quarter hull a lv 40 xindi
I can get 2 40s per hull with the buffs and still can't seem to not need God knows how many hulls worth of grinding to pull the first scrap box at 5500 per box
Well i did skip the valdore cuz i was saving credits for the pilum and I'm working with a 12.5m jelly........ but still, according to the timeline the xindi shouldn't be that strong as the nx01 was able to shoot them down let alone commander Shran in a Kumari........wish dopely would stop rewriting the timeline
Pmt pm cath do not have hugh below decks
Where did the Xindi Scraps Exchange go? š±
Skipping ships makes it rough. Hopefully you'll get to ops 46 soon
Using that logic...
As the Franklin is the same class as the original nx-01 it should be swatting Xindi ships easier than swarms.
However the cetaceans wouldn't need to spend then.
Yeah it's all about the benjamins......i can wreck lv 49-51 jemhadar and do my 25 hostile daily....... one thing I've learned in my 3 years is that hostiles 51 and below you don't follow the triangle, explorers are the weakest ships including faction..... with the exception of freebooters, they will wreck you
Now the cost for the Xindi Scrap Exchange chests are reduced. But I lost the gamble. š„³ š¤£
Same...
Should we write a support ticket? š¤£ š¤£ š„³ š» Happy playing. Nice to have the less amount of exchange.
Well this is fun.
close the faction store, wait ten or fifteen seconds, and re-open it
So you updated the X-borg scrap exchange .... but your math stinks $copley.... it was 9000 for a single box and 22000 for a double (roughly just shy of 2.5 times more) .... NOW it's only 3000 for a single box, but 15000 for the double (5x the single box!).... SERIOUSLY?!?!?
appreciate the change for xindi but a lot of us have blown through a ton of trit and already refined at the old cost - its more than a little frustrating
I did a couple of times. It eventually worked.
Dopely math....
square + circle Ć 9 Ć· purple = unicorn
Still not going to get me on board with this. Appreciate the chest reduction but itās not enough
āļøšÆ
some update, scopely just don't listen , a G3 epic ship max'd cannot kill a lv 40 xindi not matter what, so it's no surprise that higher ops pilots are using lv42 and 46 ships to kill lv40s, because the higher lvs are also beyond them too, you have no conception of strength of ships and hostiles, toatally blind to what is what
@tacit obsidian @royal solar 2 years with this glitch guys and the only way around it is to reboot.....every 5-10 minutes
Happy bugaversary zoom bug! At least your treasury isn't full! š«£
just change program and change back if you do it fast enough the game shouldnt reboot
Yeah been there many times and still end up rebooting........
It's been a long road ya know, my faith of the heart is dead
So as an ops 45 player with nearly all research level locked, minus most primes, and t7 g4 faction ships I can kill one single lvl 44 xindi with boosts. Scopely mentioned we were meant to hit at our ops level but there are reports from every server ops 40s can't even kill a 40. The reduction in cost of one chestvwas a good start but the hostiles need to be addressed or nobody will engage with this mechanic as intended. What metrics were even used for testing when the average player says this doesn't work?
They're not using the average player to gage it..... they're using players who have spent money on every prime....... remember their focus is to force spending not cater to the majority f2p
i can with picard, bev and tālaan hit 7-9 level 40, in battle triangle with a 29 million kelvin.. and have the beam at level 3, and loot at level 1 atm. or cath instead of tālaan
That's a 40. I can take 9 of them. Now try a 44 witb that kelvin like Scopely just claimed you should be doing
That ain't forcing spending. That's forcing you to suffer....it's horrible to not even account for people who dont have access all the bs they put behind a pay wall
Every feature worked just fine for free to play back when I played this game, there's no reason they still shouldn't work now
It's a whole new ballgame now with the numerous new primes you can only get with $$$..... standard grind hitting fkr and such still works yeah but with the new xindi hostiles nope
@tacit obsidian
Ops 40 taking on 40s? I am ops 46, with a t4 Pilum, and can only do 10 40 xindi. I can't see how an ops 40 can take on a 40, and I can't see how I can take on a 46...
@quick coral I think we're meant to grow into the area not so much as excel at it right away
i just want to know when the new ship will be out and how long it will take for F2P to grind out the BP's to get it
next month
Grow into... my epic 34s struggle against the 40s. Not sure my t6 Jelly could take more than 2 in a go... just feels like they still don't understand their own game.
@tacit obsidian I would like to know what scopely thinks I should have for a ship at ops 54? I have a 170 mil t5 Corvus and cannot come close to a 53 Xindi, I die on a 51⦠Does scopely think I should have like a t8+ g5 uncommon ship at 54???
@quick coral the feel I got from what's been said so far is that this is higher level content. You can start on the favors with ex borg credits. Pick up some hull health researchs. Tier your ship and tada your doing better. The waves are interceptor explorer friendly. Xindi are battleship friendly. Get a newton. Or a tribune. That's just kinda how it all seems to be going.
This is on S24 .... ummm, please get the little guy back to his home server?!
Lol killer gotta love that name on the little guy!
A t6 jelly doesn't stand a chance either cuz that's what mine is
Hull hull hull.
If i can do this i should be able to kill a dang 40 xindi ship
do you have the delay?
Yeah i have the delay maxed but from what I've seen you need bajoran favors maxed, forbidden tech maxed, research for your level maxed and these 3 maxed
@tacit obsidian @royal solar how about a compromise..... since the Franklin and the nx01 are the same class ship give the Franky an ability that works with the delay and floor?
The problem is that you're a 49 and expected to grind lv 49 xindi
I have a larger battleship that I use I just thought I would run the augur to see if I could kill some. Lol
How do you do against 49s?
I can kill higher but I can't grind them as well. And the issue is making your daily need as cheeply as possible. So I can grind out a single chest on one hull on the 40,s and that's good enough for me lol
The interceptors and explorers are naturally weaker against these hostiles until you can get the critical floor back up to a reasonable level. So a chance for the battleships to shine! Lol but everybudy likes the zippy ships lol.
Depends on the explorer. The Kori is the best g4 ship for these. Two shots from the big gun are enough to kill any of the lvl 40s. 17k in hold per run.
Thats awesome that's a great run!
Noice
Who do you have below decks?
Paris Tendi Mariner doc
Ok thanks
@tacit obsidian yesterday reduced the cost of the xindy boxes I refined 1 hour before the change no give a gift box?
they said no
What a disgusting game this game gets worse and worse, 5k lost
A friend of mine had to start a new account because of relo token issue that the wonāt fix they now are refusing to make things right by him
With my Corvus and optimised Crew as a Level 55 I can collect 6-7k from a run at the Xindi. A chest costs 30k. Yay, 5 runs with the Corvus a day... What a fun game this is.
Btw, this arc finally made me realize how bad this game has become. I reduced my game time from several hours a day to about 30-60 minutes a day and no more purchases, not even the small BP. It took way too long for me to see this.
and it doesnt help all that much ;p the trit cost is still huge
They keep adding things to do, new ships, new reds, new factions. Stop stop and fix the game by removing old things that are no longer used:
- I still have stuff from the first Borg story arc in my inventory.
- Doomsday armadas are useless, remove.
- Improved Red rewards.
- The Augment Faction no longer makes sense to exist.
- Allow you to exchange ship parts for higher ship parts, what do I do with 240 kehra and 190 vahklas
- You created the cube, limiting growth to having larger faction ships but not making it easier to obtain them.
Dude, I did a 95k turn in and had it switched to 30k. I peed away two days of turn ins, no comp. š¤·āāļø. This is Scopy, BOHICA is burned into their core operations. Doesnāt encourage me to engage any further, itās still on the āwhen I get to itā shelf. Now it just has the ability to actually be done, instead of outright ignored.
Woohoo. Finally got her.
Idiots took the anti-grind addition to the game and made it into the biggest grind in the game! You couldnāt make it up! š„“
That exactly sums this up. Ex-borg vastly simplified my dailies when it was first introduced. This new update (along with Waves) has now significantly increased my required game time.
If dev would spell out their intentions on how to play events before the event is released and to make sure that it is the only way to play the even... it would quell all the bickering.
Two things of feedback (I could have have 200, but dont have time):
- Xindi still is too time consuming
- Waves take too long, take 10~15 minutes to organise and do one.
any plans to fix the timer on the Service SMS?
Remember when Scopley officially announced they would "work on ways to make the game less of a grind", then proceeded to do the complete opposite ever since? Pepperidge Farm remembers
Are you supposed to NOT get ship XP when using the Borg cutting beam?
I thought you do?
Not for me.
Hm well mine is leveled up now but Iām pretty sure Iāve seen it get xp before when beaming
Waves have potential but are all but a dead feature as it stands. It's far too time consuming to get a group of people together and run them consistently. Implement a true queue system so that players can be selected by the leader, reduce from ten to five levels and reduce difficulty so that 4* and smaller players can contribute in later rounds. On that last point, big players currently avoid including 4* and below players because they cant contribute past round 5 or 6.
I must of missed that Episode where.. the Enterprise.. went to the Delta.. Quadrant.. Are we just getting lazy now and throwing abilities out now just to address problems rather than abilities that fit the character??
T'Pol was the Cultural Ambassador on the ship.. at least it'd be a stretch to link her with some.. "species" perks.. But no, of course she's Ore Mining.. because she's a Miner.. of a material that in the game is found in Romulan space.. And despite being a Commander.. naturally has no Bridge Command ability..
This cracks me up. Why use these pictures if you arent giving those rewards lmao
You guys are stupid for this SMS. The only people who are gonna spend $400+ on this are the ones who would have done so no matter what. It should have just been that 61+ got an SMS and everyone else got the usual. What a joke.
When does the quality over quantity start?
So, I just unlocked Tucker and I had a thought, did the devās miss the mark here. Trip was never part of any voyager lore, yet his below deck ability pertains specifically to that. Wouldnāt it have been more appropriate for him to have 30% loot gain on the Xhindi Hostiles, since that is the arc he is coming from? Just being logical.
Scopely isn't logical
<@&509690795536941056> So Scopely messes up on the original timer for the event and instead of extending the original event yall make this new one with modified goals? How's that "Quality over Quantity" going?
Something tells me there's gonna be a lot of people that rage quit the game this year...... it's supposed to be a game you play on your spare time not a full time freaking job just to get daily requirements done ffs
They are doing their best to drive people away. Scopely says an officer is worth 400 bucks. Then sets the SMS to require over 800 dollars worth of resources.
Scopely got fussy about this in the past , but seems to have stopped but anything that needs to be paid for can please be marked as heroic , so i know i can ignore it currently as that's how i feel about your performance
are the devs on stike or just do not how to do work?
It turned into a money grab game last year when a Saudi company bought scopely......i know shocker right š¤£š¤£š¤£
void configuration token
Nothing in this game is worth $4, much less $400.
@bright grail lol if your evaluation was in the majority scopely would be in trouble I guess.
I guess even scopely hates enterprise š
Doesnāt cost a penny if you donāt do it. Trouble is, so many people lack self-control and hand over absurd amounts of money for literally nothing.
im not even bothering with the SMS. Im more upset its so bad that ic ould have just spent the resources instead of waiting and upgraded ships right away for the same benefit
what room do you report very racist names in so that person can be removed from the server. The person will not stop being racist in gernal chat as well
You should file a ticket with CS. #š½-how-to-contact-support
thank you
you know what your engineering tool might be a step to far on the blood drain i am really thinking no more packs and ty you very much scopley for ending my addiction
the bot jams up and doesn't let me.
I do not know his player ID for the email address
You don't need to know the playerID of the account you're reporting. Just provide the evidence you can, screenshots can help.
Also don't expect anything more than a chat ban. Scopely hasn't actually enforced tos and standards in years.
scopley interested in the$nothing else up to the players to hit them in that $ and that will hurt
cash cows can become server killers reap what you sow scopley
thank you generous scopely masters for this amazing prize of the heroic crit floor event. after spending $100 it feels good to know I can get enough dilithium to do a research if I were ops 14 again
Not that I'm spending anymore on the game, but the + for MP redeems is gone? Back to 3 at a time?
There's a problem with it so was taken down to fix. It will return.
Fix? š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
game blows now
You only have yourself to blame š
Good luck with that, have a guy on 97 that has done in game and alliance names about 20 times and been reported by dozens. Heās still there
the issue is that higher players will just cherry pick, leaving all the sub 40s alone.
what needs to happen is a substantial easing of w1 and 2. but its TOO LATE. many sub 40s just sit in the middle afk now (trained by scopelys greed) and watch a movie.
Just a dead feature, killed by in-ability to listen. CCs that are beyond the level bracket or on 'vanilla' servers where this problem isnt widespread. and scopley only listen to them if they bring it up publically on twitch/youtube/etc.
And lets not forget, the 'data mining' will not show this as many sub 40s will just simply not engage at all. why repair ships for 40 currency ... IF w1 completes.
Hello, I can't complete a mission because the game says that I can't visit the specific solar system for too many ships. How can I solve the problem and complete the Mission?
wait for other player ships to leave the system
It is a system of level 1. I think that there are a lot of afk people but this will lock my gameplay. Are there any other solutions?
Try to go through that system and hit stop before entering it. That should place your ship in that system. Sounds like it may be a terminal system in which case the above strategy is meaningless.
Take a screenshot and put in a ticket, never heard of a system locked from too many ships ....if that were the case territory fights would be screwed
It is a edge system of level 1
ops 14 has researches that require 1 bill dilithium ?
sarcasm, but that's laughable for a "heroic" chest. and no I didn't buy it either.
Ask a member of your alliance to try and enter the system and see if they have a problem, if they don't you'll have to take a screenshot and put in a ticket
Let's summarise: scopely promised us more quality and less grind. They didn't improve the grind with the Borg Cube. It remains illogical and stupid. The new xindi loop su.cks even after the improvement. You spent 3 days discussing this? Pathetic! We're all still looking for more quality in vain. You've got 2024 off to a really bad start - nobody is surprised. But there is one good thing: I, like many others, am spending less and less time playing the game. That seems to have been scopely's plan - there's no other explanation for this lousy performance.
So I guess the Talios won't come close to matching the V'idar until at least lvl 38! So "making it available " to mid 30s players if just more scopely BS
Most ships from 26 onwards are worse than the ship below them in some way when first built, assuming youāve been improving ships as you go. The Talios becomes better than the Vidar at T3 if i recall correctly, when you can switch up to the higher borg probes
The problem isn't that you have to tier it up, it's that you aren't allowed to tier it up.
Level 37 actually when it hits t2
Getting there :)
NOPE! tier 2 nowhere close to matching my V'idar! I mean for hunting borgs which is it's intended purpose. It shows much higher "power" of course.
I was getting 100k more at t2 using 579, gotta have your research up for interceptors and it also depends on your ociffer levels.... some of my alliance members did better with pmc cuz their borgs were weak but if you're having issues the next tier is 39...it tiers on the odd numbers
I get as much as mid 300ks with pmc, what are you getting?
Depends whether you value time on grind or full cargo more, I was using my talios immediately and getting a double pull worth each run faster than maxing cargo vs 33s
I was getting 450k at t2
Uh Huh
The bigger probes also favor snw pike and co, or if you're close to being able to punch up but being caught by the big gun round 10, 5, khan, gorkon (or lorca)
Then Hugh makes it even better once you unlock him
Just got this from a xindi lv 40 explorer ...... when will you stop putting crap bps in the lootchests ( im allready drowning in useless bps from low level ships which will never be built )
Some time around never, would be nice if they updated the drops.
it would be handy if there was a mechanic that enabled us to either swap them for other stuff ie bps we actually want or give them to alliance mates who need them
Im not holding my breath though...............
I've never known a developer try so hard to push it's customers away. This game gets worse with every update.
I get 807k with my vidar though so Tally still way worse
On the flip side, getting it at higher ops you feel like itās way more trashy. It grows with you, same as Defiant. All specialty ships are trash at T1.
Other issue. Vidar vs talios is do you have the vidar skin. Do you have a ton of vidar exos. That will change the equation on if talios is bigger etc. but definitely work on the talios. It will eventually be better
Yeah that's true especially if you have the nanoprobe hunter research which doesn't work on the tally wacker
As far as I remember the t1 Talios was still better than the vidar at hitting 33s if you wanted loot per hull. It was just a bit slower because of lower bonuses.
Your below decks would have to be awful for a T1 to be better vs 33s
Lower decks have nothing to do with it lol. A t1 Talios has considerably more cargo space than a max vidar.
I can carry 800k+ even on non-max cargo crew in the vidar, the talios isnāt getting that on 33s
Might be different now with more cargo bonuses plus both edata and laan lower decks. Back then Iād need both 4 and stonn to get that much on the vidar, and couldnāt fill with that crew unless running the exos. More typical crews were around 600kāish cargo iirc.
my vi'dar is resting under 600k cargo still. I'd assume that 800k involves either FC Locotus or Prime Vi'Dar Cargo
Why did Scopely reduce the amount of points per resources spend on the recruit event AGAIN? The milestones are becoming pretty insane.
Iām 655k now with no crew, and I can check once data comes back but Iām pretty sure Iād be over 800k with t4 data/t2 laāan below
Heh
Talios is inefficient until at least t6 for hunting probes. I built a second vidar and used the exos until I could tier the Talios. Admittedly things have improved power wise since I last needed to use them but that was the case.
An attempt at some honest, but frustrated, feedback. @tacit obsidian
If the goal is to push FTP to progress more, this is NOT the way to do it. I'm one who stock piles rss in order to make reasonable progress on officers (I'm happy with just unlocking them).
Officer SMS's like this are not making me progress. Right now, I can max my Auger (currently T6), max my Enterprise (currently T8), Go from 41ops to 42 ship yard, and take a Valdore instantly to T4 ...** and I still wouldn't get enough points to unlock this officer. **(I'm currently Ops 41). There is something fundamentally wrong with this math.
There is zero incentive for me to progress if I can do ALL that and still not get 1 simple unlock.
The only thing it encourages me is to not play. Which makes me sad, because I go to start the game and instead I'm like - oh right.
For years we have been trained to save mats for an officer unlock. It's now changed so don't rely on these events any more. Ignore Trip and move on like many in my alliance. He's not great anyway despite the Epic label.
But I want to move on. I want to spend rss and unlock officers, even mildly useful ones. I was actually excited when I saw both of these officers thinking I could finally get to 42 b/c I'd saved up! Major bummer when I saw the scoring. This is basically my plea/feedback for them to alter the scoring
Reach the 4th milestone (2.65 M) 3 times and you have an unlock together with BP shards.
Reaching it even once is not easy at that level though. 66k uc g4. 3x is almost 200k uc. The crazy part is those are practically the same milestones I have at ops 49.
I (OPS 43) get around 1.700 uc G4 from a single ticket event. BP milestone yesterday 2.500 uc G4. Then refinery, bajor chest, etc. ... You can easily reach around 3-4 k uc g4 per day on average as a F2P plus some rare G4 & tons of G3. And there are often additional events with further rewards. Also there is scrapping of 26 ships. So reaching 2.65 M is not impossible. And we had a 3 week break from (new) officer spend events (which means there was a lot time for saving materials).
The tons of g3 doesnāt really score many points any more. By your own estimate, even if you managed to spend all the g4 you earned in a month, that would be barely enough to do the 2.65m milestone twice over, so no unlock. Another issue is that there simply isnāt that much you can sensibly spend 200k uc or equivalent on at that level. It makes zero sense for ops 41 to have the same milestones as ops 49.
the Riker Ent-E SMS had the last MS at 4.8 mil (yes, i know not a full unlock, but it was paired with a SLB which was giving more shards) for me and barely made it ... that 10mil MS requires around 250k in uncommon *4 which is ludicrous for one to have to spend for a simple officer unlock
More and more players quitting... the end is neigh! lol
The greed of the company is what is going to push most of the players away, the only thing left are going to be the whales who are fine speding thousands of dollars each month. I guess thats what it matters anyway, to bring in the cash and weed out the freeloaders anyway.
Had do do the math. Assuming you don't buy the BP (aka full ftp). Its the 2.65M milestone for me (Ops 41).
That comes out to 7.95M points over 3 SMSs events.
Which would cost ~ 200k G4 UC. Or 265k G3 UC.
I'd need to go back to see what everything adds up to again, and while that might get me there. I still feel like that's insane. Also, having to rely on them not changing 2 of the 3 events scares me away.
I used to be a regular $20 BP (semi-ftp) player. But I stopped a while back because it just wasn't worth it, and I wanted to "express my displeasure" with my wallet.
Theyāre too busy communicating with the whale server aka the real discord channel to bother with the rest of us low spenders. They do not care about the community. Scopely does an excellent job of sapping all the fun and enthusiasm the player base has for new content by continuing to ignore the player base, not testing new content, adding additional grinds and loops that NOBODY has the time nor desire to complete. This happens every arc. This new xindi hostile was clearly never tested for the low 40s players. Even after you reduced the chest cost itās still an awful grind. A max g3 epic can kill maybe one 40 per hull. Youāll need 8 of those as an ops 42 for one daily refine chest. That is unsustainable and a huge waste of time and resources.
Free pass or the purchased pass...? Just checking
Did you notice their abilities? They gave them Voyager/Delta quadrant abilities......WHY!!!!
<@&509690795536941056> we just had a 2 day mat spend event and now this mat spend event? Can we please get the events to synergize a bit?
Edit: how's that "Quality over Quantity" going?
Scopely, please stop adding chores and add gameplay. I find myself increasingly logging in to finish to many daily tasks then just logging off.
There's so much content it's a full time job to get all the daily requirements done....... when we gonna get a paycheck for working for scopely?
Scopely has shown that they do not care about ftp or moderat spenders, only the handful of whales that could have bought a house with what they spend on this game.
Pppt two houses and a 50 ft yacht
We're prob closing on the mansion range
You're right especially for the older servers, I'm on 55, we're just over 3 years old and we have a guy that's retired and spends his free time making bank at a casino and he's 7 figures in already lmao
How do I start getting Federation Daily Tasks now that I got my Fed Rep into the positive?? And what are all of the missions that let you choose factions the second time??
1 more bad update and iām done. Iām out on xindi. Keep the bleed up scopely. Butchering a cow is easier than feeding it
Someoneās base is over a level 11 target. Iāve reached out to let them know, but outside of them moving out of the goodness of their hearts, idk how else this is going to get resolved
Click on the chevrons on the sides of the popup to cycle targets. Or zoom all the way out and click the top of the bubble.
Thanks!
Playing on my Ipad is like this:
Click, click, crash, restart. Click, click, click (wow!) crash, restartā¦
You want me to pay for that? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Very soon for me @frigid flame it will be click, click, crash, quit..Iāve had enough
The dailies for the factions show up automatically the day after u solidify the rep.
Stop adding more to the grind. This promise of less grind has been a failure. It's frustrating as heck watching my teammates quit because you keep adding more and more into the game. Less is more
Technically, your teammates who quit did get less grind š
Their quitting because more stuff added to game?
no words.... thats the worst reason to quit any game.
It's because there's so much stuff to do that it's become a huge time sink to do it all. It takes 10-15 minutes just to claim all the daily chests. Here's a list someone compiled of all the things to do in the game:
- Daily Tasks
- Faction Reputation
- Faction Kills
- Faction Mining
- BP events
- Side Events
- Daily events
- Freebooters
- Franklin/Swarms
- Borg Probes
- Actian Venom
- Borg Cube
- Titan-A
- Cerritos
- Pickleship
- Forbidden Tech/Q Trials
- FKR Armadas
- Solomadas, Borg & JemHadar
- Pickleship Solomadas
- Wave Defences
- Xindi Grind
All of this takes a lot of time. If you want people to play with, you can't keep demanding more and more time from them. The Xindi was supposed to be a time reducer, not a time adder. Doing Xindi runs costs me a ton of trit too
You do realise you have to do "0" of these things š Everything you do is a choice based your own individual gameplay. IF your complaining to much to do then your playing the wrong type of game. Half of that stuff i ignore and haven't done in months.
For me, at least 4 of those are the same thing, and many of them i do when necessary, not daily
Glad you agree that it's too much to bother doing. Thanks
yeh just like every game, anyone who does everything in a game 100% has no IRL, or a is one of those people who aim for 100% Achievements in every game every made...
For me more is better, cause if one part gets boring i can ignore and do another part. If their was nothing else to do and i got bored i would stop playing and play another game as nothing left to do in that game.
I had a nearly stable IOS update or arc launch, then i updated to the latest patch. Now it's back to constant crashes.
Have fun in Season 2 Wave Defence š
Yeaaaah. about that. Waves is probably my least favorite feature. talk about forced screen time.
Forced closure you mean? 5 seconds in game closes itself š
<@&509690795536941056> another spend event? Are you kidding me right now? This is 4 days in a row of a having a spend event. I guess we know how the "Quality over Quantity" is going.
Don't worry, only three more days of spend events to go....
Followed by another 2 day spend event for unlocking Tripp. And if I know Scopely, that will be followed by a rerun of "Making it go" and so we wont ever have a break in spend events
What makes this even more annoying is that the "Making it Go" event wasn't listed on the calendar. So we couldn't event plan for this event if we wanted to.
milestone costs are increasing as well
I foolishly hoped event types would change - but how could we know. I feel ripped off.......
realy could do with stell and trtiaum events thses new events fomaton rather poor compered to last moth wave pass will not be buying elite this time
The lag right now is making the game unplayable. And I'm not one that normally has issues with lag
Making it go is an attempt to get people to pay for mats so they can get catalysys which are horrible to source. The scoring shouldn't be like the one used for officers (and that one is horrible now that there isn't a SLB), but here we are. The lack of good sourcing for a lot of the newer officer is also problematic. People complain about the Voyager loop because the access to the Voyager crew is as bad as the access to the Disco officers. Half the DS9 officers can't be sourced except through special events, and so on and so forth.
Daily Tasks - True
Faction Reputation - Not a daily thing unless trying to get to the next lvl in a hurry
Faction Kills - Freebooters
Faction Mining - not an active mode of play
BP events - True
Side Events - True
Daily events - huh
Freebooters - True
Franklin/Swarms - Sundays only
Borg Probes - Once a week
Actian Venom - Once a week
Borg Cube - side grind while doing something else important
Titan-A - yawn....and it takes 5 seconds. I've been using it alot more for Waves though
Cerritos - Wednesdays or when needed
Pickleship - auto grind...yawn
Forbidden Tech/Q Trials - True
FKR Armadas - ahhhh...join them if you want when you can. There seems to always be at least one running in my alliance
Solomadas, Borg & JemHadar - once a week...usually Wednesdays to pair with Cerritos event
Pickleship Solomadas - once a week
Wave Defences - Daily cuz its fun
Xindi Grind - already to the point where I have several days of turn ins saved up. Will turn into a once a week thing by end of arc.
Seems about right. Doing things with efficiency and necessity. Iām sure some of the people are either rushing, and having to do so much to keep up, or are reading the wrong info somehow.
At which Faction level does the Message Exchange show up?? Got my Fed Faction Rep up to FAVORED but still don't have the Klingon Message Exchange option in the Faction Store
I would say 10m. Hard to tell but I have it for all 3 and lowest is 10m
Borg Probes once a week...back when the Talios came out and mine was like 3 million cargo or something I did like 2 runs each day plus all the extra tokens we got that month...ended up with like 600 million...I have not done a Borg run every month since and I'm still over 300 million left
I started with Rom Faction and had it essentially from early on but don't have it for the Fed Faction store yet with a current Fed Faction Rep of 183,986
This arc has really put the brakes on any progression. Inadequate rewards for the time spent grinding materials. So no one is spending materials on upgrades because no events with rewards of any value are available. What a boring arc. Lame
I'm doing battle pass events, dailies and a couple other grinds and playing another game after that.... just ain't worth my time anymore
@drowsy void it helped you progress in wasting time ....which is all it does
āļøšÆ
what's up with this error when trying to start a formation armada? I already hate these things so much, getting this error is the cherry on top.
formadas have been half broken since their release. quality over quantity
@tacit obsidian @royal solar So feedback on the new 6* UC Ships: Neghvar is better at PvE and Minerva is better at pvp from a firing pattern perspective. at T9 the NeghVar is 3.5M, the Minerva is 3.1M, and the akira is only 2.4M Akira has the best firing pattern, but DPR sucks. Why the HUGE dispairity between the 3 ships in power? Appears there needs to be a fix.
I think consort but not 100% sure
Shout out to Dominion. The game is pathetic. Not you.
@tacit obsidian @royal solar Since Scopely forced players past the Enterprise Faction Lock by giving 13m rep for the first reward of the Per Aspera event (which I reached through the Battle Pass and NOT buying Ent-E Data) AND as we are unable to accept rewards from specific events AND as Scopely are unable to reverse the faction lock you forced upon players, make the time and resources we have already used to increase the XP gained on all ships not just ships in Fed, Kli, Rom space. Also to help with 'Quality over Quantity' how about higher level systems in Augment space, Yarda is Lvl36 which only allows up to Lvl37 hostiles.
Why is it so slow today, showing splash screen and slowly cycling through āadjusting, preparing, activatingā with every screen transition? Itās irritating as can be.
Its awesome - we ask for $copley to narrow the brackets to make them fair. And they actually responded!!! To bad the response was to expand the brackets... Lets sese how many people quit because of another slap in the players faces...
Which brackets is it this time?
SLB Mining, Combat, it seems all of them have been expanded. I even see some events with 32's in with 57s
works either way IMO
maybe not quite right in the context, but not terrible
agreed either would be proper English... And it does not affect the overall enjoyment of the game or playability... I would rather they focus on working to make players happy then their grammer skills
Well Scopely you're real close to beating me. After advertising a f2p game you've almost got me convinced it's not worth playing f2p.
Have you noticed all the advertisements for the game have the comments turned off...
You Reckon? š
Tal got nerfed. I can only wonder if it was due to whales complaining
unclear what got nerfed... those all seem like the same stats he always had
Only works on level 60 and under
vs hostiles, which was changed before g6; works vs all players (see the comma)
The tooltip looks wrong. I'd ignore it.
Iād assume that was American āEnglishā, in the same way they say things like āplease write meā, when actual English would be āplease write to meā
Canāt say Iād noticed. Probably depends on me wanting to care about the event lol. Even then, itās a pain to look at everyoneās levels, so I rarely do.
No, that level cap was put in a few months ago, before g6 existed in public
The level restriction isn't the problem, that SS shows an error. It should work on 60 hostiles too.
Y'all actually waste time reading the missions?
Its always worked on level 60 hostiles (ie in freebooter space)... the changed it in preparation for g6 as they didn't want the whales using it against 60+ ... so the complaint about "due to whales complaining" is irrelevant... @half roost it works just fine against level 60 folks and has forever although tal isn't going to win you many pvp fights (if any).
Fr lol I wish there was a "skip all dialogue" button xD
Right, you can only tap the screen so fast š¤£š¤£š¤£
I actually wish you had to click certain areas to make the text go away. As someone who actually reads the missions, having the dialogue pop up while I'm in the middle of clicking Help is maddening.
Come on Scopley game un playable again on IOS rare formadas game crashes every 30 secs, what is going on š
And another wave pass...... loving this "quality over quantity" experience, it's worse than last time, it crashes as soon as you click start and it's over before you can log back in
Game unplayable on IOS
Hey guys if i upgrade my treasury right now will it be effect itin anyway that wruld screw me over tryi in g to open it later tonight with my free desealing rod
Shouldn't but if you don't wanna get scopelied i wouldn't try it
So I wonder when they will realize the Xindi thing isnāt working out how they figured it would
It's more likely your dog will learn the mirror is a reflection and not another dog barking back at him
Positive: Wave Defense SMS being set to "Do 3 waves within 3 days" is definitely a good thing. Much less painful and can encourage server players to help others
Suggestion: Hostiles in Wave Defense should give stuff (S31 credits? Nano probes? FMs? etc not just the usual par/tri/dil
Same error for me and two others in my alliance
if it makes you iOS users feel better it's nearly unplayable on Android right now too
trying to find where i get the rest here
Ummm it says swarm hostiles......
Shoot swarms, return the cargo to base
iOS crashes every time you select freebooter, enter rare formada system, start formada win formada and every 45 seconds if you do nothing at all game un playable
Even though this probably will take at least 1 yr via ftp, adding something to this chest is appreciated.
At least you have it I donāt have that in mine
So, nice thing this new prime sourcing in the standard recruit packs... but...
Can we get a slider to pull like, 10000 of these at once?
Because I am not clicking something 60000 times. I already have to do that for hostiles. lol
What server are you on
Whereās mine? Thatās not in my chest. @tacit obsidian
I also donāt have that in my standard chest
What Ops are you? Donāt see it at Ops 44.
- A teammate thatās ops 46 pointed it out to me today
It has been removed, so let's take back all the positive feedback about that š
Just like the multiphasic slider has been removed
I'd just like the basics to work, like not crashing every 30 seconds requiring a restart that doesn't even log me in half the time. where is all this money going
that was removed cuz it barely worked tbh
I had to reset the game after every pull lol
Yup, mine got removed. My thanks is retracted, Scopely š
@tacit obsidian - Some general feedback. You all have forgotten that this is a game and are starting to take the fun out of it. Though there are HUNDREDS of examples as to why in this channel. One recent one is the fact that we can no longer source rare officers in an arc with buying the battle pass. Heck, they used to be sourceable FTP. I always buy the cheap BP option and cant recall the last time I could not source the rare officers in an arc. TPol does not appear to be unlockable with the regular battle pass unless I am missing something. There has to be some limit to letting the accounting team make all the decisions in the game, your gameplay people have to have noticed these issues. Anyway, I know you dont make these decisions, but as we always say here - Scopely is unwilling to communicate with its user base and puts that all on you... thanks
Just last arcā¦Troi wasnāt sourceable
@tacit obsidian last arc and this arc are terrible. No real reason to engage in SLBs, SMS or ALBs. Due to the rewards being pure trash.
Waves was a horrible addition, starters need the ability to boot players.
Wave currency/rewards need to be increased, or additional sourcing of section 31 credits need to be added to the game
As long as people's credit cards ain't broken all you'll get is deaf ears and glitches, only thing that matters to scopely is quarterly profit margins.... this latest failure of "quality over quantity" should be the biggest slap in the face eye opener ever
"quality over quantity" it reads "more whales, less fish"
I literally spit my coffee out when i read this
For the streamers doing the sponsorship do we have to do all 40 new players or not? Only got 4/40 so far, need to know if my viewers are wasting their time or not.
I agree it barely worked but have you tried pulling anything now from there ? I'm getting the same delay on the 3 chest that I was getting on a 50 chest pull. So idk if they fixed anything, just removed it I think xD
They ain't exactly known for fixing things, we've got glitches that have been in the game since i started playing over 3 years ago, things will only change when the profit margins drop cuz people stop spending
thatll never happen the players are already locked in, people come in here and say Im not spending anything anymore then the next arc starts and they buy the battlepass rinse repeat. they still get money out of them so 
@tacit obsidian I still don't understand why Tucker's BD ability has loot boost for Hirogen and Species 8472. In the canon, he had NOTHING to do with either species, so why that particular skill? It should be a skill to assist with the Xindi grind.
yes, would've made the most sense for him to boost xindi drops given they just introduce the xindi, but this is scopely, gotta remember who we're dealing with.
Have you EVER known them to make sense with this game lol
hello all
Yep.. I got one the first time I did it. Went back to work and in my break ground 5k. Didn't get any. Now I know why. Some bean counter must of thought oh know we are going to lose money at .05% drop rate
to be fair, Tripp is now in this version of the timeline so may as well get to work doing something productive
I'd love the ability to mark individual players with a diplomacy tag. We've got a few rogues we'd like to track
Please fix the faction store interface on iPad. The items being in two columns is a pain.
@tacit obsidian ,i don't see the Stick of Truth available in the ingame or WebStore so I can open the Treasury. I'm trying to throw money at Scopely. Please help. TiA (Thanks in Advance).
The offer pops in the cash shop when you fill the lockbox (700 pts).
i had a thought on this - maybe they are trying to provide scroll space? since the lag is awful and "accidentally" claiming things in rampant.
For me? As a 56 player? Which incompetent developer was back on duty? the same one that xindi planned?
I am level 35 that is the same loot for me on that last tier same event.
Just remember it's all about "Quality over Quantity". Right <@&509690795536941056> ?
So far I haven't seen anything of quality in this arc. Just abject failure on the part of scopely. WD are unplayable right now - lags and glitches
Please fix the waves unplayable again to night not fun
To add what others above have said, these rewards might be helpful for an ops 39 player. Not helpful to above that
Last month, the event paid out decent event store credit. Why not keep rewards to something related to current or recent stuff? New exborg store creds? S31 creds? A couple officer shards for Enterprise D Troi? Maybe a couple of the prime shards that were removed from the recruit store yesterday?
This is the new quality that scopeles is talking about... for sure. Fits in with the crap they usually do. But I can clearly see that far fewer packs are being bought in my alliance. Simply because everyone is annoyed by scopely's behaviour.
And yet another mat event coming for Janeway
#ā-official-announcements message
Do we all get the directives back also, or do we have to buy them to do all the Armadas again? Shall i guess? @tacit obsidian
As an ops 39 player I assure you those rewards arenāt really helpful.
Is there an official date somewhere for the merge? @tacit obsidian
So far mergers are the 22nd and the next territory pass is the 23rd cuz mergers reset territory so perfect timing....,... just watch out for your device to explode cuz something went as planned
Is it an official date, or just a guess? Either way, the device will explode because it will probably work smoothly and be completely confused.
it is a rumor.
Another Mats spend event you say...7 days and counting.
š¤£š¤£ Scopely Devs...a special kind of š©
Great set of wave events scopely. A+
Isnt it about time scopely fixed the bugs instead of fixing events? The game as a whole is far more important than events giving the wrong reward. Its all about priorities here š.
Iam not receiving any reward for completing waves, very nice šš»
Theres only one type of bug that gets fixed very fast in this game, its a bug that helps players instead of annoying
Fix the bugs in waves that say itās easy and then you get blown up
Very nice bug, no rewards at all
Game on IOS once again un playable why do yo hate apple players so much ?
So the past three days when I completed my dailies I didnāt receive the gold badge for the weekly chest. Anyone else have that problem?
scroll ⦠the last chest is off screen. or ⦠save up until you can collect all chests (270 points)⦠there should have been a persistent pip
Yup I scroll and click it doesnāt go to my inventory
@tacit obsidian are we ever going to get an official post stating merge dates? All we see are screen shots from VIP servers and snippets of conversations that are not anything official. And considering those VIP info dumps were wrong last time it sure would be nice to know when its happening rather than just getting dumped into a new server randomly.
All you can do is wait an hour and then open a ticket and hope. Good luck, took them 5 days to finally admit that I didn't get the rewards when this happened to me the last time. I had to give them a play by play of what I purchased that morning, what I spent credits on, how many waves I did, what level wave I reached, etc etc, went through 4 different support people before they finally relented, honestly I think they just wanted to make me go away because I started date and time stamping my messages and I was bugging them every couple hours after day 3.
This is new at Server 180 š
Scopely is perfect
Btw, it comes before 15 Minutes, not 8 hrs
Yeha pretty sure 80 and 83 merged last year, thats very old news lol
can confirm, we've been merged since September 2023
Quality over quantity š¤£š¤£š¤£
Sorry but logged official complaint with apple App Store as they are responsible for the quality of the apps this is the only app that is woefully substandard sorry but you really need to do better
Does make me wonder how many players they would lose if they dropped support for all the devices not able to run the game
<@&509690795536941056> so this news was released today. Only problem is that it's completely wrong and out of date. These servers merged a while ago. Does Scopely even proof read these things before hitting send? Or is this more of the "Quality over Quantity" that we are to expect?
get rid of chance on refinery conversions, minimum for 4 chests is ridiculous
I think we need a one day elite resource compensation pull for the screw up
Fix the extremely out of balance pvp and ship power. You have already broken your promise in this regard... fix it.
I love crashing 4 times during a single 3 wave WD that would have been 4/5 if you knew how to run an app
Hello, you all wanted a date for the server mergesš. Nobody specifically asked for server xyz š¤£. Maybe it's also just intern weeks at Scoplyš
Yes, typisch my mistake š I am sorry
So much lag today for me
Ok, weāll make him kos š
Posting on the wrong discord. Might want to try your server or alliance's discord.
Theyāre already well aware. We need as many eyes out for him to kos as possible.
I rarely post on this discord HOWEVER!! (comma)
Xindi hostiles are B.S and frankly <@&509690795536941056> you and the team need to rethink your ideas and ADD a physical research tree to supplement the ExBorg studio/store. The ExB credits (all of them, especially regular hunted in ExB system) need to improve dramatically for regular players dailies for a starter even IF it was done via ExB Studio/Store or a NON prime node in research tree as frankly theres a lot of F2P or small spenders that do not fully understand what you're doing and nor does Lord or Lady Arc runner apparently.
Theres THREE things you can do to help the Xindi arc for upper Ops 40+ players and beyond.
-
Increase the drop rates of Xindi coins
-
Lower the studio/Store cost AGAIN for a double refine currently at 15k - Sorry that is still unreasonable and time consuming
-
Make the Archer-prise as cheap to buy as possible or FREE°°šš
°° Thats probably never going to happen but we can dream!
And yet again. A 24 hour event gets extended by 48 hours. Again. My countdown goes from 4 mins to nil to 48 hours. Seriously. How hard can it possibly be to display a simple timer?
so what was in that comp chest we got? it of course bugged out and gave me nothing
š
if you are referring to the formation alpha event... scroll half an inch
you will see the done version
as well as a new version launched today, with the correct rewards from yesterday
they told us it was coming in that announcement channel WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP THEREš
how many years we need to wait for multiphasics slider back?
So some feedback on the changes to TC.
First, kudos for adding Monaveen BP to all those t2 zones. Thatās how it shouldāve been the first time. But since now all those zones have the BP, I think all t3 zones should have the Chronometric Particle Service at the minimum
Second, the paid track for TC season BP needs a huge buff in rewards. It was such a no brainer for many to not buy it. Gorkon shards?! For real? š¤¦āāļø
And last, if you want to help us upgrade the Cube, we donāt need more Memory Alloy, we need more refined ore and Battleships parts, which the Cube needs way way too much of considering itās a specialty ship
still waiting for this to be lived up to
I was excited for the Janeway event so I could finally get the last few shards I need to unlock her. Then they went and lumped me in with all the 60+ players again, and I have no shot at even the lowest tier of payout. Thanks Scopay.
Here's some general feedback on how to make the game less grindy.
1) Convert Active Grinds to Passive Grinds:
Here's how it could work: We have the mechanic already for the Texas Class Hostiles / Monaveen grind. We'll call this a "passive grind" for frame of reference. As a player builds a new specialty ship that opens up a new grind (Swarm / Borg Probes / Eclipse Transport / Actian / Jem'Hadar / Delta Quadrant), the first few tiers of that ship for that grind remain "active grinds" (meaning the player has to go to the system to actively kill those hostiles). After tiering up a specialty ship to a certain threshold, the option for a passive grind becomes available (meaning it resembles that of the Texas Class hostile grind), where players can send a ship to the system and the hostiles will auto-attack. Players can still actively grind if they choose to, and they'll receive 100% of the baseline loot, whereas if they opt to passively grind, they'll receive 60%. This keeps an incentive in place to actively grind if players need the loot straight away but also gives players the option to send a ship off and forget about it while afk, overnight or while doing other things like events, armadas, WD, or other active grinds. At any given stage in a player's journey, they could reasonably have 50-70% of their grinds enabled for passive grinds, with the newer ones still in the active grind only phase. Unique grinds like the Borg Cube and Xindi wouldn't have a passive grind. This would still enable the development teams to add more content and more grinds and not overwhelm players since the older grinds would all gradually become passive.
š¤£
Why not simply add a grind button to your ships manage screen. You go set it to 51 rom miner. And hit go it calculates how many you can kill and locks your ship down for the specified time and once that's past you get your chests and ship XP and faction automatically.
2) Passive Faction Rep Grinding:
Similar to the above, allow for passive auto-grinding in faction space even while positive in reputation for that faction. Stipulations are, that you must be in an opposing faction ship, and you must opt in (there's a toggle). So if you want to kill Feds to boost your Romulan Rep, you must take a Romulan ship into Fed territory, enable the passive rep toggle, and have the Feds auto-attack you. You won't be able to do this in any specialty ship, it must be a faction ship and it must be of a different faction, and this can be doable even if you are positive in rep with the Feds. This will further encourage players to focus on faction ships and dual-triple faction rep grinding. This will also let players passively grind ship XP in higher-level systems outside of Augment space. Passively grinded Rep is earned at 60% baseline value, while actively grinding rep is earned at 100% base value.
You're using too many words........act like you're talking to a pakled
Opening up passive grinding like the above might also incentivize players to purchase more docks so they have more ships available to use for passive grinding. It'll also encourage players to want to get each specialty ship, knowing in advance that it'll be a bit of work to progress those ships in an active grind environment for a little while BUT with a pay-off that passive grinding will become available. Once 50-70% of a player's specialty ships are on passive grinds, it becomes more about resource management (ship repairs, optimal auto-grind crewing, research to improve efficiency, and what faction store items to unlock). This will give players more time to do group content like Wave Defense, Formation/Group Armadas, Territory Capture/Defense, PVP (OPC hunting + Base Raiding) and otherwise not be buried in hours of repetitive/tedious solo play. And for Admirals/Commodores who are all very busy and active in Discord with Alliance/Server management, it gives them the ability to get more things done in-game vs falling behind because they're caring for Alliance/Server Politics.
more words for ya
Scopely doesn't care as long as people keep spending money
Just fix the lag.
And crashes
regular philibusterer
They would easily monetize that.....$99 pack for a special '1 hour auto grind Exocomp'- you get 10 per packš¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
New packs in store, 10 of them, game stability fixes 1 - 10, last one is the future issues fix, each pack comes with a and b, at standard £100 a pack, meaning 2k cost to play game without issue.
I understand āļøhas not been rolled out yet, as scopely is waiting for the optimum time to introduce the packs
Pay your server or broadband bill please, its getting more and more difficult to do even basic tasks...
Don't give them anymore reasons to go wallet diving......they get enough money already.....you do realize there's individual players that are in this game for 7 figures right? And i don't mean just a couple
And another player / high level and great leader and teammate quit... Soon your going to zero players... You know its bad when spenders are quiting... Great Job Scopley
Eu -Lagfest
Scopely your servers suck again. 2024 focus on performance, cannot see anything of it so far š
server 139 massive laggs, can you fixit? wave unplayable because no ships can be partially attacked
It's affecting every server, game literally crashes every few minutes. Took me almost an hour to collect all my daily chests
Game crashing during Wave assaults is beyond frustrating. About to the point of saying F this game.
You're really beating us over the heads with the constant wave defense events. I mean, I love game crashes and repetition as much as anyone, but have a heart for people who want variety.
They have a yatch payment to make, screw game performance š¤£š¤£š¤£
just curious, is there any option to disable that abomination named scopely store? if i want something i can look in the webstore...
How is it possible i still miss 13 bp for sloan while ally mates unlocked him? I made 1 pull every day and also had the premium wave pass last time same as my ally mates but they unlocked him, also with lower ops....
Are there any plans to improve xindi for the sub 46 ops players? Itās very clear this was not tested by anyone actually playing in that range. Itās basically doa at this point. The change you made to the chest cost while welcome is NOT ENOUGH. The community demands better. Thereās no viable way to grind level 40 xindi without a rare g4. People are lucky to get one 40 xindi with an epic g3. The xindi need to be nerfed or the chest needs to drop in cost to something like 100 scrap for 40-42 ops.
Xindi were acceptable, for me at 43, after the chest cost reduction, but it very much depends on crews and ships available to you. I think those 42 and who have moved too fast, ie arent 42 with a matching ship, will find it tough, and those 40-41 might as well not bother
No. Itās not acceptable. Itās designed for ops 40 and above according to the press release. So your premise is wrong. You need 800 scrap for a pull. The most scrap a 40 xindi has is 37. A g3 epic with a bunch of research including 2 rounds of the delay, iso artifacts, and the Picard data crew can barely kill one xindi. The math doesnāt lie. It needs to be addressed.
i said they were acceptable for **me ** at 43, because you said "sub 46", when what you mean is "40-41 or maybe 42"
Sounds like there best way to address it is change it to 43 and up wording wise lol
as an Evil Software Engineer, its what i'd do muwahahahaha etc
Well I havenāt seen anyone without a g4 rare doing it effectively. The jelly isnāt capable and g4 uc are pretty weak unless youāve wasted a ton of mats over leveling them. Whatās an acceptable waste of time for one doesnāt necessarily apply to everyone. Havenāt seen any data other than what I presented.
Maxed augurs can do 5 or 6 with the right crewing so ktinga,s should be able to do them as well.
Prove it. Love to see it. Like to see the ops, the research, the officers, etc
Go down to the pve channel I posted some screenshots of me doing it with my augur a few days ago. I'm only ops 49.
i kill, on average, 12 level 40 Xindi interceptors with my Valdore, but yea, i probably over invested in it
@tacit obsidian The team has got to fix the game closures no error code it simply closes. Iām on iOS with an 8th Gen iPad which Iāve tested and it performs well but the game constantly randomly closes at best this is every 10-15 minutes at worst at after every action. I simply canāt play wave defences due to this problem, the same for PvP and other high intensity activities.
Ive raised this with customer support but only get a list fixes for bugs Iām not talking about. Even if the fix was reduced graphics quality or less item on the UI etc. Anything cause as it stands after 4 years I feel like Iām being forced out of the game, wasting my time and money. Even some acknowledgement of the problem would be nice and what the team is working on to fix it.
So not applicable. Ops 49 have significantly higher caps on research including isolytic artifacts. And whatās your syndicate?
Syndicate level? 23
Sorry but have to agree there, ops 49 doing it with an augur is very very different than an ops 40ish doing it with an augur. Ftr Iām ops 49, have a t7 pilum and even so totally agree with the feedback above⦠Iāve basically been ignoring the xindi altogether
If youāre going to keep adding grinds to the game you need to increase the hostile cap. 2k is peanuts for a busy day. And itās not like you guys do anything about the whales using bots anywayā¦
Heās using pike Moreau tlaan so heās only getting the loot boost from the doctor. So at most 37 scrap x1.15? X 6 hostiles? So how many hulls does he need to do one chest pull per day? You need 5000. So youāre doing 17 hulls for that? And you think that is reasonable? lol no
Nah 40 and up means you gotta grow into it. Otherwise its worthlessly easy as you move beyond 42
It's adult content for the older players. It's not spose to be easy. If the little xindi,s dropped 5 instead of one it would be perfect prolly. The rest is just fine. and no I'm not doing 17 hulls I have a t7 newton to do my daily pull amounts.
Thanks for making my point for me.
I use E Picard, E Data, 5 and the Doctor to kill mine, its quite reasonable, 1 hull every 2 or 3 days
You guys want everything to be easy as pie on day one. Do some researchs level your ships. Grow into the challenge. Or just grind reds. It's good that challenging material is coming out. It gives people things to do mountains to climb. Reasons to keep playing lol
P.s. wasn't trying to rile you up none just voicing my view along with all the others.
Keep trucking!
No, itās about making a rational case with data which I have provided. Youāre ignoring all of that and then supporting my case with your own example whether you realize it or not. The math doesnāt lie.
I'm not I know people grinding the little xindi,s pulling a chest every other day to get the favors it's slower but they will get there lol š good luck to you lol
But itās not a 5 min grind at 6 scrap per 34 either. Itās not reasonable to grind the 34s for hours to get 800 plus even at ops 42. Get real.
I'm nowhere near that level (hellmy whole server isn't) but it doesn't seem too bad? I remember when I grinded for my stella I was getting less than 50 codes per hull while needing 1k for a pull or something like that. Tbf I was underdeveloped In the ship department but that's what seems to be the case with most people who can't do them yet.
The first time I flew into a capital system I with my shiny new augur I hit a non heavy and died. At that point I chose not to quit and continue to grow.
The irony of someone hitting down with their t7 newton while I have to hit up with my maxed augur on the same level 40 hostiles and saying I wanted everything to be easy as pie. Grind your own level then if itās so easy. Youāre totally missing the point. Whatās that about challenging content? Iām just trying to make the case that it isnāt actually accessible for most as designed for the low 40s. The evidence is clear.
Whilst I have said I find my own personal position to be acceptable to me, itās still not what iād like to do, and thatās hit more appropriate xindi. I mean, i can go pound the heck out of 50+ faction hostiles in G5 space, but canāt manage any useful amount of 41 Xindi, anything higher just destroys me. This is with a T9 Valdore, iām sure a KāTinga would do better.
Yeah I think itās more than challenging. For scaling, a reasonably tiered g3 epic should be able to hit 40s, a mid tier 42 should be able to do 42s, a t9 valdore should be able to do 44-46s at least, and a g4 rare should be hitting 48s or 50s. Thatās simply not possible as far as I can see. Everyone is punching way down, except the 40-42s who have nothing to punch down to.
Edit: re ānot easyā. Thatās fine for something like q trials where youāre expected to do 3-5 a day. They can be challenging as heck. For a grind that takes dozens of hostiles for your pull, being able to barely kill a couple a hull isnāt just ānot easyā.
The whole point I was trying to make is that it isn't suppose to be easy. I didn't say it was easy. I can kill the ones my level but over a hulls time I get more loot doing the 40,s.
Except scopely reps have literally said the intent is for people to be hitting xindi on par with their ops level
Youād think so š but that said, iām not really pushing it, going max loot on the 40s works for me š¤·āāļø
I'm really loving waves, but you have GOT to fix the stability please, sometimes I have to restart twice in the middle of a wave
Well they got the drops wrong then for sure there are 53,s and down in the 40,s grinding for xindi bits. That's become the sweet spot for grinding. It's very crowded. But I cruise the higher systems for the miners and there empty lol we are definitely in the wrong channel for a debate lol the slow mode sucks lol
So youāre fine with it as long as itās easy for you but donāt care about anyone elseās experience. Got it.
Uhh dude I'm prolly the weekest 49 ( less than a week) on my server Wich puts like 75 percent of my server ahead of me lol it ain't just me. (#not a whale) I've already said like more than three times that it isn't suppose to be easy. Again cause your missing this each time I never said it was easy lol. Did you get that? I never said it was easy.
What point do you think youāre trying to make? Why did you feel the need to try and refute my argument which you havenāt done and I would say you actually cant make with any evidence. Everything youāve said reinforces my argument. It seems very easy for You to hit down with a ship 3x the hostile power and 9 ops levels over the hostile but that wasnāt what I was addressing.
You argue like my wife sheesh
Lots of people are using ships lower that rare g4,s to grind xindi I see them everyday.
It's not doa lots of people are doing it the systems are bustling
So I guess those two points lol
And anyone that can do it you seem to belittle like those over leveled 42,s u mentioned in original post. Maybe now there happy they over leveled them?
It's simply geared for people who spend on the game and have all the primes, if y'all haven't noticed.....they even said it was tested with someone who had forbidden tech maxed, research for their level maxed and bajoran favors maxed along with these 3 maxed
Having a t9 valdore as a 42/43 is a huge mistake. Be reasonable. Youāre not being rational. Youāve only provided your opinion which is that you hit down significantly with a g4 rare. Good for you. You seem to think your opinion of a completely different circumstance than someone elseās actual lived experience is somehow more valid. I donāt see anyone on my server farming 40s without a g4 or equivalent rare with any success. I certainly do not see any 40-42s grinding 40s with much success. If they can kill a 40 itās one or two per hull. And thatās ONLY if they have Picard data (t3/4) janeway/5.
Lol I just warped into a 40 system and there were 2 44,s in there grinding.
Ever since the Saudi company bought scopely everything has been designed to force people to spend money in order to do anything...... You want scopely to listen stop spending and get others to follow suit if you can, good luck though cuz people with at least 5 figures invested in a video game ain't gonna stop now
Well I just watched a t8 valodre ops 44 die on one 40. Everyone else in that system is using a rare g4 ops 46-53. You yourself are an ops 49 t7 newton. So we do not have the same experience. Why is that so hard for you to understand? The xindi overall need to be nerfed so that people like you are actually hitting your level instead of grinding the lowest available because its actually the most efficient, or the chest cost needs to be adjusted again so that players below ops 46 donāt have to spend hours and multiple ship hulls for a single chest. Ops 40-42 need 800 scrap for a single chest. The most theyāre getting with Picard data and 2 levels of exborg loot boost is like 120-130 depending on if they used 5 and what tier. Thatās still at least 7 hulls for a daily chest. It is not the same experience. It is not a reasonable amount of time or effort.
The whole ānot supposed to be easyā was an after the fact justification anyway. Before the release all the talk was about how itās going to be a 5-minute grind.
Itās also just a lie. If youāre using a 35m newton to hit the 40 xindi. It is easy.
Yea personally I think they should just raise the loot drop on the what are they 34 xindi beyond that I like having tougher opponents. Game mechanics you have to figure out and work thru etc.
Obviously everyone is gonna do the math and grind the best drop vrs hull etc.
The lvl 40 xindi have about the same dpr as lvl 51 g5 hostiles (from their regular guns), and because they bypass shields they effectively do 5x as much hull damage. If you donāt have the newest pve officers thereās almost no way to increase the damage of your ship with crewing. I donāt think they really understood how the mechanic would work. Tougher opponents are ok when you have to kill just a few or itās not a daily thing (q trials/mission bosses/armadas etc), itās not reasonable to have such tough opponents in whatās a daily grind.
How does the crit floor add back in. When it's maxed are we back to more regular crewing?
Not really I think. Maxed just means crits do same damage as regular shots, so still no point in crit officers. With breach youād get crits doing 50% more damage than normal shots, but if you have iso officers youāre probably still better off running them. The shield bypass is really a killer ability.
What an absolute load of š©š©š©. Double spawn BS.
@tacit obsidian
Wave defense is almost stable enough to make it fun, can you ask the Devs to increase the lag?
Fun ruins games, so let's keep that to a minimum. We only want lag, begging for money, and events that require you to be hardwired into the game for 26 hours a day to complete.
So please remove the fun, add more lag, and then get out your tin cups to sell us lag reducing Primes.
I think 172 has all your lag. Merge day and the lag is so incredibly bad already and we havent merged yet. š¤¦āāļø
Who wants to bet all the SLB's will get messed up by merges today. No way current SLB's should be rolled together for merged servers.
Is merge happening? No messages in gc. š¤·āāļø
Hey @tacit obsidian itās pretty bad that we still donāt have any firm definite information about WHEN the server mergers will take place. Last proper information from you guys was a recycled post from September that didnāt have updated dates not server numbers on themā¦
Oh, and you still owe me a dollar š
Lots of games understand there needs to be a progression from easier to hard content. Not a wall of hard content you need $$$ to solve.
System Alert: You have failed to purchase Prime Customer Services or Prime Customer Feedback. Please return once this duty if completed.
What about Prime Merge? Do we need that as well? š¤£
Donāt you like the anticipation of not being able to plan your events and dailies?
Need to do waves but don't want to be left stuck in the middle of one when (if) the server goes down. Not to mention the horrible lag this morning.
The servermerge was announced ingame for 9.00 am CET. This was almost 4 hours ago. I think, it would be really time to give us a information what happens and what not. So its endless annoying. Only for protocol: This Merge was your decision, not ours
@tacit obsidian
@royal solar
I will leave it up to my commodores to say officially....but Scopely have not disappointed in screwing up this merger.
We on 65 got our 30 min warning 12 mins ago.. we will see
Armada tab in inventory just for armada stuff please š¬
<@&509690795536941056> why not purge inactive accounts during a server merge?
So much for merge don't affect events. Dropped place out of rewards for them All. Good job scopley. Guess was a waste of time Participating in events over the weekend š
thanks for the cash š -scopely
Is this really all that we get for getting shafted in a merger? Really? How about adding ship BPs like the Motaveen, Defiant, Voyager, etc?
<@&509690795536941056>
In fairness it was over in minutes. Surprisingly little downtime. The lag is pretty epic, but I dare say itāll climb back to the normal level of āslightly tediousā
@tacit obsidian
This is your daily reminder that the last time an officer with a viable sourcing pathway was added to the game was October 2022 with DS9. No content that's been added since that day can be viably sourced in the game today.
@tacit obsidian you've run ship new years special three it four times... how about a rep special... please.
Really you guys add a feature to speed up the Armada grind then added a grind to be able to use it. Really?
anyone else experiencing a sudden lag and strange npc behaviour.. 112 is feeling a bit weird ;p
ever since wave defense, we have nothing but glitches, lag and crashing on server 24, quality of play is horrendous
clearling the loc seems to have fixed it for me atm
What do you mean shafted?
I dropped several spots in 3 leaderboards. One of which I was dropped so low that I wasn't in a reward bracket. All because the merger made the LBs an XLB but without me being able to see where I stood until the last few hours.
I see what you mean. Yeah it sucked to be merged during a slb which you cannot see what the other player's score is only to find out near the end. But we were given a date and time of the merge which should be taken into factor of the slb.
Or Scopely who is in charge of the schedule could plan around SLBs or even just isolate SLBs for servers about to be merged so it doesn't happen.
They shafted everyone on the slb through merge. Another well executed move
Or scopely should hire a new code writing company, digit ain't exactly the greatest coding company
Honestly there's only so much you can blame on scopely cuz they're just the developers, the rest falls on the people (digit) who actually write the code and after 5 years of the same glitches reoccurring or not getting fixed it's hard to say they're getting the job done right
They just outsource to ai and then they don't actually check the code before they put it into production machines.
AI is only as good as the drunk Irishman banging on the keyboard š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
@tacit obsidian
All day, pls help
Is there a reason they don't include the time zone when posting seerver maintenance time?
posts like this one: #ā-official-announcements message
use discord to post the time in what discord thinks is your current time zone, which has generally been recieved as an improvement over remembering what is and isn't in daylight savings time, needing to convert, etc. that's 2am Pacific, if that helps verify. The background being colored & the fact that the timestamp shows in more detail if you hover your mouse over it should help indicate that.
Waves dont work on 156 right now. All people who joined dont see the others and get a 202 error. Restart does not help
territory BS, again? and again and again
knock it off, no one is entertained

Heavy traffic in Mining System After Server 199+200 merged šššš we need Extra Mining Slots/Spots
Get rid of the annoying deep space mechanic of lv 40+ systems. No one likes to waste time warping/summoning because the stupid system canāt be viewed without a ship present in it.
attack smart players who are mining whit meridian, for example: send to them a message like "wrong ship" and attack them immediately.
Monaveen will still be available in T3 or not? 
if you want to mine now and your ETA is, for example, 10 minutes, send your ships with 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 60 minutes in advance and one ship in one system.
This video is also misleading it suggests it might not be in all T2 zones ālocated in one of the many T2 zonesā does that mean itās not guaranteed to be in all the T2 zones listed on their website? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wFrNxLaOBIc.

Commanders,Season 2 of Territory Capture is upon us and kicks off on January 23rd! Along with a wipe of all currently owned territory, various changes are coming this season based on your feedback, so be sure to check out the information below for additional details!Season Start Date: January 23rdNote: There will be a two-hour maintenance [ā¦]
Different sources giving information different than whatās listed on here. Those different sources coming from scopely themselves šš
Glad the patch is sorting out the bug with the 4th fleet commander slot. Gives me something to look forward to in 2027
Anyone taking bets on Scopely's definition of "2 hours" for today's maintenance?
Zero node = Boom
Whats the point of a Territory reset for the new territory battle pass if you dont relocate the stations aswell, now alliances that had the territory before the reset have a great advantage ........ well thought out process
They can't shield though, so hit their stations
They got that free 8h shield ..... and if an alliance has multiple 50+ players ..... thats a big advantage for the take over if those stations r there
