[brazen prism]

this was communicated too late to everyone: TC reset. Very bad thing, how can you prepare for this, that is not possible now. rude behavior

This update will include the **TC reset

[robust knoll]

Pretty easy to know TC reset was coming this week or next

[severe mason]

Any word on when the lag will be addressed? I won’t hold my breath but still would be freaking nice already

[livid pasture]

@tidal notch I’m listening to the latest podcast, and I just gotta say, alliance tournaments need to run. There’s stuff there that will take 5+ months to source because of cooldowns, and not running it even once a month is just not a good look. Finally we get sourcing for new stuff except oops, we don’t run that event anymore.
I originally thought it would run twice a month (twice a month for 3 days would be great), but at minimum it has to run at least once every month. Maybe they could be better, but what we have is a million times better than nothing.

[brazen prism]

Not everyone sitting every morning, night and day on social media like twitch where scopely gives the information. And YouTube is a curse.. it’s not that easy

[mild cobalt]

Also, to be honest they updated a lot of the territory services a couple of weeks ago adding more particles and blueprints to systems that didn't have it before. I know at least on my server and in my alliance, that led to a lot of assumptions that they might not do any more resets since they're not very popular but I guess we should have known better. Lol

[finite mural]

The issue was they were telling people the 22nd for the reset to give people time to plan, but the 22nd was the actual date of the new season and sprung the reset at the last minute.

[sand notch]

Built the titan-a yesterday. In the past on other accounts, the daily goals for it would spawn the next day at 0500 reset.
It was a pleasant suprise for them to spawn to the goals within about 45mins 😮
Cheers 🍻

[odd prawn]

Where's that blog post 👀 @tidal notch

[neat copper]

at least give us something to look at during all these extra maintenance windows!

[cosmic knoll]

<@&509690795536941056> when you wake up, please tell scopely that they need to give everyone at least 12hr shield because of your very short TC RESET announcement.

its 1 schoolboy mistake after another ... ill be surprised if MU still works

[void ibex]

That’s what we’re here for 🙂

@cosmic knoll why? Any shield they had applied will still be applied, and they’d have to log in to put a new shield up at which point they’ll realise they need to relocate because it’ll tell them.

[cosmic knoll]

thanks for the comedy relief, but general human habit is that you shield when you goto sleep ... and be ready for daily activities mid morning-lunch depending on your working hours breaks etc ...

i admit im not a person thats able to play 24/7, so your playstyle is not mine

[void ibex]

Ok, cool - and any shield you put on when you went to sleep will still be active. Territory reset doesn’t clear any existing shield, it stops you putting a new one up. As you have to log in to put one up, you’re in game…

[livid vapor]

So you don’t put a shield on?? Shields stay up unless you drop it, don’t have to play 24/7 to not put up a shield

[oblique relic]

Do we know if there's a client update as part of this maintenance? (wondering whether I need to keep re-starting my PC Launcher to have it look for updates)

[finite mural]

there should be a download

[cosmic knoll]

so noone uses 12hr shields anymore? or you claiming they dont exist? this back and forth isnt constructive, but we all see who it is thats trying to put forward concern and who is trying to cover over short communication.

HAD we all been given at least 48hrs notice of tc reset, everyone would have ample time to move out and/or put up a 3 day shield etc etc.

but i see your only concern is to try and anger players for some reason? to get them banned for language?

[slender monolith]

I think those with the biggest problems, not just in this situation but any where they need to reset a shield, is that sometimes their planned window is during maintenance. If they miss that, then they can’t put up a shield that will last long enough to reach their next play window.

[finite mural]

Note that maintenance will have everyone issued a gold shield for most of the day.

[void ibex]

If your idea of communicating is to be physical, that says quite a lot more about you than I think you intend to.

Please refrain from thinly veiled threats to people. It’s unhelpful and unhealthy.

[raw fiber]

https://tenor.com/view/scaler-create-impact-relax-gif-25012098

Pauly likeeey the 2nd paragraph — no need for any physical expressions!

but I accept hug

[crude sandal]

Again, saying more about you than other people there...

sooo, we winding back a little bit, or enforced break?

[void ibex]

And I’ve sacked people for using physicality to approach problems in a workplace.

I’m not sure what you’re attempting to get at but “yeah - you know, that’s fair, sorry, that does seem a lot like threatening which isn’t me” is the correct response. Although I suspect it is you, cos you’ve said it.

[sacred crane]

I 100% wouldn't like to work for or with you.

[fluid mist]

sounds like y'all need to chill a little and remember this game is just pixels. This isnt the first tc reset they've done. Some people should be happy they've got tc zones as in my server the players in tc band together to keep my alliance out of tc. Nothing like 700 players banding to stop 67 players lol but thats another story

[lost bough]

If 700 players band together to stop you getting tt, doesn't that suggest that the 67 might actually be a problem? Just asking......

[crude sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/stitch-oh-god-what-did-you-do-gif-19020666

[ancient sandal]

oh yes please where is the list of the 3423 new currencies and 3532 prime packages added during this maintenance and maybe the single issue you fixed that should not have been there in first place but was needed as excuse for the downtime

[odd prawn]

So we are back...but now I need to know how many new primes you added and why all our ships now fly backwards and attack our own bases when recalled..GIVE ME MY BLOG POST!

[fallen spear]

Aaaaaaaand…we're stuck in between screens again when just opening a daily container 🙄 Nice job, $copely. NOT 👏🏻😡

@tidal notch don't make a girl a promise, If you know you can't keep it

Where's the blog post about the fixes etc. you said was coming

And if you don't get the first line...I'm taking all your mexican food! 🌮🌯

[finite mural]

it was fixed, restart your game

territory was reset @muted python

[muted python]

Defense and mining in own territory not working…. Scrapely way again …. Only getting worse…

[void ibex]

It’s empty. Territory has been reset. #⭐-official-announcements

[raw fiber]

blog post will be posted soon

[torpid kelp]

<@&509690795536941056> hy, first of all, thank you that it finally worked with the mu-wave.
the other question is, when will the store for the master league come back? the cooldown for the skin of the borg-cube should have expired so that i can buy some parts again. the next question would be, when will the league continue? greetings

[void ibex]

You need to earn some credits first

[raw fiber]

no eta yet for the next league

[limpid stirrup]

Could we please have an upgrade all button or slider 💪

[winter sigil]

My team just failed a wave defense because of 5-10 seconds of lag each time you select a hostile.

[torpid kelp]

I still have enough. so when can we expect the next league and when will the store open?

[finite mural]

Those credits will be useless for the next tournament

[void ibex]

They’re getting wiped at next tournament.

[torpid kelp]

@void ibex that's nice, then it would be a glorious idea to open the store so that you can spend them when the credits lose their validity before each new league.🤌

[finite mural]

the store was extended a couple of times already

[void ibex]

The store was open for you to spend the credits. The credits were identified both in game and on Discord such that they would be cleared at the end of the store and tournament run.

Those credits are now gone. You’ll need to earn some fresh ones when the tournaments come back around at a date TBC.

[torpid kelp]

it's also nice that the store has been extended a few times. but it doesn't change anything. you introduced the cooldown for the skin, not us. then you tell us after the first league (trial league i'll call it that) that the credits lose their validity and now they should be valid again in the real league. although they are the same credits as the first time. and now we learn that you don't even know when the next league will take place. i have to say the game annoys me more and more every day. sorry for spewing on my part but at some point it just gets on my nerves

[void ibex]

All of these things were communicated ahead of time - while I appreciate that it is frustrating at times it is not new news.

[odd prawn]

Soon soon now? 👀

[chrome field]

Is there any status update on the Kir'Shara or you guys burying that one?

[haughty sail]

just piling on more bugs so you forget about that one, just buy the next new thing pls thank you our sheik needs a 5th helicopter to get his dogs to their walking fields

[rotund geyser]

@scopley how times are you taking down APAC SERVERS compared to the rest without any type of compo

[somber orchid]

Servers aren’t coming down for that ! Hence you might notice a dip in performance

[proud salmon]

How about they fix the ships not docking this year ???

[red cliff]

since the default game is nearly impossible to play at times...a dip in performance will probably mean unplayable

[cinder barn]

It's crap putting events out that are limited by the number of kills you can get cargo from. This needs to be fixed or the events modified <@&509690795536941056>

[wheat orbit]

launching a feature, charging for it then burying it is a new classic MO for $cop$ly

[weary tiger]

Scopely still can't fix lag, but oh yeah they add stuff to buy.

[woeful rapids]

<@&509690795536941056> still missing the compensation for the mirror wave issue (it better be good), and the blog post explaining what the update was for

[jovial edge]

Where is the comp chest for broken MU waves we were promised?

[finite mural]

still being discussed

[hoary saffron]

I do not think Scopely takes the frustration of players seriously. If they did they will fix the problems. Mod...Give them the feedback that this player thinks they are either stupid or incompetent or both

[fossil girder]

lol great avatar and name, genuinely believed at a glance I was lagging again 😂

[woeful rapids]

<@&509690795536941056> that compensation is entirely unacceptable, mirror waves were down for a full week and you've given us less than two waves worth of credits?! What an absolute joke, I've missed out on a full week of FT pulls, syndicate xp and rep, and this is what you deem sufficient compensation?? Absolutely ridiculous, do better

[finite mural]

We haven't received the compensation yet? scratch that, there it is

[livid pasture]

So, 1-2 weeks of no waves and you give us 1.5 days of syndicate (conversion from the mess-up tokens) and 1.5 waves of credits? What about the thousands of liquid trellium I missed out on? Or actually comping for two weeks of missed stuff, not 1.5 days/waves? What about the people that lost two weeks of progress for the FT?

[woeful rapids]

"@everyone

The maintenance earlier today addressed the Mirror Universe Wave Defense blue screen issue and we will be sending out a compensation chest to make up for it shortly.

OH"
@tidal notch
You haven't made up for it, you might as well have told us to sit on it and swivel

[trim citrus]

9k credits? for 10 days? what a joke

[hollow sundial]

<@&509690795536941056> I’m sorry but this is a complete insult…! This game function has been out of action for almost 2 weeks - this ‘compensation’ chest is way off the mark. Each day, we have missed out on 7.5k syndicate XP, 440m faction rep (per faction), Agony booth FT shards, daily Mirror resource megachest, field repair shards… the list goes on and on! This needs a rethink - this one has majorly missed the mark given the amount of time this important function has been missing.

To put this loss into context for 10 days:

• 70.5k syndicate xp
• 13.2b faction rep
• 20 agony booth shards
• A large amount of sigma RSS

[analog tartan]

Please fix Event Store -> cloaking ... takes you to store. actually multiple links are taking to the $ store and not event currency redemption.

[radiant terrace]

Deciding on what territories have what the alliance wants, and working with allies on it, is a lot of work. The way you keep changing the territory boosts at the last moment is totally screwed up for us players.

[odd prawn]

So.....2 random primes, MU waves fix...what else happened in today's update? STILL waiting on that blog post @tidal notch <@&509690795536941056>

[woeful rapids]

Thx for doing the maths buddy, makes their "compensation" seem even more pathetic by comparison

[hollow sundial]

Yeh, I worried it might make people even more cross - this one is a complete insult I’m afraid…! 😡

It need a major “top up” to make it acceptable in my opinion.

[neon trout]

This going on for me

[kind rampart]

Impressive how much rep S31 gives in such a „short“ amount of time

[rare vale]

MU wave comp is a joke. I complete a 10/10 wave daily. That's like 5500 credits plus refined trel. The comp should be that much multiplied by the # of days the MU waves were broken in addition to field rations.

[woeful rapids]

Even more rep for me, 16.2bn (5.4bn per faction) at my ops I've missed out on

[pure plover]

The higher your rep level, the more rep you can buy from the faction stores, complete joke of a compensation chest, but hardly shocking lately

[kind rampart]

At 63 I don’t really need extra rep but still impressive how much you can get extra

[quick gale]

Ghost armadas everywhere!!!!

[tidal notch]

Announcement is coming.

[odd prawn]

I'm taking this 🌮 off your plate

[kind rampart]

@tidal notch Really good job on the Armada Speed ups. Now they finally show the actual remaining time instead of the time before using speed up. Nice fix. Should have been there day one but better late than never🙂

[languid folio]

Events Tab is taking me to the Store instead of events page

[woeful nymph]

Releasing a Prime for the Vindicator Refinery within 2 weeks (same month) as the ship is released is excessively greedy <@&509690795536941056> . It sends the message that the ship I paid money for has a refinery that is sub standard. It's like you're stripping down features of a game and then releasing a paid "Day 1 DLC" for it. At least wait a month. 0% chance I'm getting this prime just out of principle.

[stiff juniper]

To echo this, compensation was a complete joke. 9k credits when you get over 5k for a complete run in the lower systems. We've not been able to run Mirror waves for a week! The average player does at least one a day.

[junior sierra]

I only got 8K. total joke of a comp chest as usual.

[tepid bramble]

I am curious, anyone who screen shots everything…did they “inflate” the cost of these things? I could have sworn it was around 400 not 700…or I am just smoking wacky weed. But I am leaning more on the side of the scopy being miserly and greedy and short shifting us…on comp stuff for the screw ups. Because that’s generally how they roll. 🤨 (that or they gave a whole lot more last time they gave them out because I had like 6 days worth last time)

[wary citrus]

@tidal notch <@&509690795536941056> 9k MU wave credits?? is this a JOKE???? I can get 10.6k in 2 runs this was down for over a week. YOU ARE SHORT by at least 30k credits. THIS WAS NOT OUR FAULT, you broke waves, PAY UP. Guess we can file with the better business bureau. https://www.bbb.org/ - Also not to mention the time lost for syndicate XP pulls and other stuff like Agony Booth that is now delayed by 7 days. where is the compensation for that???

[final tide]

Last time autogrinding was broken so it didn’t score in events. It was said to be unintentional and fixed. So it’s broken again. I cannot begin to say how unimpressive it is that nothing seems to work right in this game and when something is fixed an old problem is reintroduced over and over again. Seriously?

[finite mural]

autogrinding works when the ship attacking matches the ship for the event, nothing has changed about this

[livid pasture]

That’s the same as it was, I believe.

[final tide]

Defeat hostiles with interceptor. Sanctus is still an interceptor right? Knee jerk response that assumes the person with the complaint is incompetent isn’t helpful. Try it yourself and verify it isn’t working before saying it does.

[wary citrus]

Also Where is the Liquid D from missing MU waves????

[finite mural]

I said the chaser has to match the ship, so if you're being hit by something other than an interceptor, it won't work, this is how it's been. Talk about "kneejerk"

[final tide]

The Event says. “Defeat hostiles WITH interceptor”.

[finite mural]

I've already explained how the event works and has worked and will continue to work. If you want to auto grind, the ship has to match the event. Unless you were being attacked by interceptors, autogrind does not work.

[final tide]

Grinding with interceptor works as expected. Auto grinding does not. English instructions in the event suggest it should. Perhaps you aren’t who i meant to talk to as we clearly have different ideas of BROKEN. If this is working as intended then the description is wrong. I was making a complaint to the company. Thank you for your opinion but I am not asking how ‘it always worked’. It should work as expected and as advertised.

[woeful nymph]

Make sure you get the September one. The August one that you can also claim has less stuff in it

[gentle fog]

Ok, i can't see GC chats anymore on any platforms, and also grinding will drop me nothing. Whats that???

[finite mural]

2k hostile limit if you aren't receiving any loot, resets at 5 utc, 1 am eastern, 10 pm pacific, an hour after daily goals

[gentle fog]

I was grinding Gorn, wdym 2k hostile limit??? And what about GC that has been disappeared??

[finite mural]

There's a 2k hostile limit each day, once you hit it you receive no loot, chests, rep or exp. As for gc, happens occasionally

[exotic wave]

well 11.18pm local time - guess they decided against the release of timely patch notes - dont promise what you cant deliver

[blazing ingot]

Scopely , like every month, for several years now, the game freezes 👿👿 every 15 minutes , have to restart the game, maybe you read here and pay for your rental servers, as always, productivity will appear for about 2 weeks in advance, not a game but just torment 👿👿👎

[storm bear]

How it could hapnd.......

[red rampart]

@tidal notch , when are TC attempts starting. On server 31 we're seeing 2* takeover attempts which obviously no alliance can attempt. Is this a visual glitch or will there be 1* Takeovers tomorrow and Sunday and 2* Monday (for obvious reasons the 3* Takeovers on Saturday are a moot point ATM.

[vast nest]

It's not a glitch at all. Even with resets, territories continue their normal schedules. So they will all be open whenever they normally would

[red rampart]

@vast nest, so basically by doing Maintenance today, it screwed up TC'S for the week. Scopely should have done a separate Maintenance next Tuesday to reset Territories for Season 5.

[vast nest]

Indeed

[plucky dove]

the gold shield only protects your base, not your ships

[final tide]

@tidal notch So you elevate people to special status here to belittle customers and call them names?

how do you defeat the cloak bandit ??? any one

I pointed that out once to a tech. They said it works as intended, the wording is perfect, and that i was cheating.
If an interceptor hits your autogrinder, you probably score

[robust knoll]

laughs in War Room 60 56 by end of the year
(It’s an excellent pack for the War Room bits alone. Those chests are pretty amazing once you’re 45+. The other stuff, plus the store currency, plus the SyndXP makes it an excellent pack if you’re going to be around for even 2-3 months. Just shows you don’t really know what you’re talking about.)

[red rampart]

@vast nest, what Scopely doesn't seem to realize is that most Alliances with Territory (especially those that consistently hold 5 Territories) have their strategies planned in advance based on a Tuesday reset for the next season to start (even if the actual TC pass begins the following week). Having the reset today throws those strategies off as some combinations of Territory acquisition are predicated on gaining a 3* Territory on Saturday and an adjacent 2* Territory the following Monday. They have little use for a 1* Territory pickup on Sunday. The acquisition pattern is 1,2,1,3 skip the Sunday 1* and then get a second 2* on Monday.

[robust knoll]

They definitely realize that. Why do you think the reset was today? Mixes things up a bit

[slender monolith]

Much like RoE, they know it exists, but as it’s not part of the game design, only player created, it is not something they factor in, and nor should they.

[fossil siren]

Nice job again Scopely...tc season 5 starts next Tuesday......
Not today!!! What a screw up!!

[red rampart]

@slender monolith , the difference in this case is that TC seasons (like the BP and OFP) technically begin on Tuesday at event reset. I don't recall a previous case of Maintenance on Thursday with Territories resetting but the Season not beginning until the following week. The Alliance I'm in based our strategy on the first 1* Takeovers for Season 5 to be on 10/23. Had we known that there would be TC's that could be joined beginning on 10/18 we would have had players shield and locate their base accordingly. We're a veteran alliance that has held the same group of territories since before TC Season 1 and we were blindsided by this

@robust knoll, mixing things up is one thing. Not letting the players know of a significant change up front is something else. Remember that there was supposed to be a post with the changes with the update but it hasn't shown up as of yet either In Game or on Discord/website.

[abstract ocean]

Still no sign of the patch notes for yesterday?

[void ibex]

I’m not going to pretend I haven’t sent this to Scopely 😂

[glacial spruce]

It's really short sighted to not factor in what their customers want. Minecraft is a perfect example of what to do.

It was originally a "build stuff to protect against zombies" type of game. But the creators were smart enough to realize that the players went beyond that. If the creators had fought their player base, no one would even know what MInecraft is today.

Unfortunately Scopely doesn't take what their player base wants and just foists non-trek content, endless bugs with more garbage for purchase on us. Everything is based on short term profits at the expense of the long term health and profitably of the game.

[dire rose]

This banner keeps appearing every few seconds very annoying

Timmer not working

[slender monolith]

Just because sone games are community driven, doesn’t mean all are. If you can’t see what Scopelys approach is by now, well…

[molten stirrup]

<@&509690795536941056> First of all thanks for the rapid deployment of a comp chest once the MU bug was fixed.... now to the constructive feedback, This chest was not even remotely compensation for this bug.

Let me explain with some math. We get 1 start per day on average, a full run in the lower level MU wae nets 5000 currency (we can ingnore the liquid D for now but that wasn't compensated either). Further the use of the currency is to open TIME GATED rewards, which many of us haven't been able to open for a week? more? The compensation chest doesn't account for lost progression towards agony chamber, or other rewards.

AT A MINIMUM the compensation should have been 5000 currency/day it was down OR MU Wave starts (since there is a max cap these weren't accumulating), and really should have also included liquid trellium D

hope you can see why this compensation chest didn't even come close to compensating the loss let alone providing a feel good "we're sorry"

Thanks for reading
LostIN S55 ops 67 (sorry for cross post but this may be a better space for this)

[nocturne trout]

Can we tone down the new stuff every other month? We have enough to do and certainly don’t need any more non Star Trek garbage. Please stick to what works and stop adding stuff to charge us more. Scopely is driving away the players who want to play for players who pay for meaningless content.

[robust knoll]

This is not a "significant change." All they did was reset territory on a different day. Folks' plans for territory were upset? Good! It's become a boring mechanic anyway. Of all the things to be bothered about that Scopely does, them changing territory reset is solidly in the spilled milk category.
You're absolutely right about them not posting changes, though! Still I don't think any of us really expected them to do that, did we? I mean, it's Scopely after all. ☹️
ETA: iirc, Comst was the first territory to open when territory reset first began, so this isn't even the first time territory's been reset in a way that Friday 1* came first

[woeful nymph]

Can you please add some higher resolutions for 13 inch tablets. I just upgraded last night and everything seems comically large. Icons literally the size of the last section of my thumb past the joint

For scale..lol.

[robust knoll]

Wish they'd just make whatever tweaks they need to for the Mac app so we can sideload it once Apple opens that up

[ripe thicket]

Why not fix TC instead of making it the worst experience in the game. If you want players to fight, award points for kills and time on nodes, not just sitting in a tc cloaked, doing nothing hoping you don't get beamed and lose all those points (and that player gets them). Fix the exploit instead of covering up players abusing it.

[slender monolith]

Eh what? Who loses, or steals, points during TC?

So my alliance "seal" is pipping out again!!😖 Are pips REALLY that hard???

[rough belfry]

Wait, what? A prime that is only good for 50 days at most? (Assuming 4 shards a day and starting from 0 shards for the FC)

Where is the value in that? Seems like a huge waste of effot to design and code the prime and a waste of money. But I guess people still buy this crap.

[jaunty prism]

Conspicuously missing from the patch notes: "Alliance Tournament: Fixed alliances being incorrectly relegated" 😠

[junior ferry]

does it also increase the skill points or only FC shards? based on the title in the refinery, it should increase everything in the "Fleet Commander Acquisition" pull, so some value still after the fcs unlocked. that being said, I still won't be purchasing it.

[rough belfry]

No idea, I can't find the research in game or on stfc.space

@vivid ginkgo , they can't even fix the existing BROKEN Field Training. Don't say contact CS. That's a waste of effort. I tied on an account that's now ops 19 almost 2 months ago and they still haven't fixed it along with the fact that that account NEVER got the daily log in rewards to unlock Nero.

[woeful rapids]

I think it also doubles the other rewards, but it's still an absolutely awful prime, bizzare idea and a clear sign they're short on their expected earnings this month and want to try and push the numbers up with extra spend events and ridiculous primes 😅

[rough belfry]

I stopped buying even the monthly battlepass with the MU content. So it's not surprising they are losing sales.

[verbal adder]

Nice update... now the program freezes at 70% instead of waiting until my station tries to load.

[woeful rapids]

<@&509690795536941056> do you plan to release further compensation for the mirror waves debacle? You seem to have ignored the torrent of complaints from what I can see. You have to see how insulting it is, I'm sure you knew before you sent it that it wasn't good enough. Think you should probably send out a bundle with missing 10x double FT claims, and 6k mirror tokens for each day mirror waves were unusable... at the very least. 10 days is a long time for a major part of a game to be unplayable, I've literally never seen anything like it and I've been gaming for 20 years. This consideration just makes the compensation offered look even more ridiculous.

[wild gate]

I have an 11inch tablet and i only get half the resolution that I see on my phone

[limpid stirrup]

For the love of God please please move the home button, when trying to grind when trying to do waves when trying to do almost anything it keeps getting in the way and all of a sudden you’ve got a new screen pop-up asking you if you wanna put shield up and nonsense like thatwhy does it have to be in the way?

[wheat parcel]

Would be useful for the "mining is dangerous" one-time warning to include that the warning still applies even if you're under level 10. Also, would be useful if in all the online docs that say "you're safe from PVP until level 10" would be updated to include "unless you're mining." Don't ask me how this idea came to me. 🙂

[red rampart]

@wheat parcel , you started a new account and were doing the early mining missions in your Realta or Corvette and got whacked for mining with a warship.

[obtuse prairie]

thank you !

[potent blade]

Score counting on event Whispers of Fall: Battleship Hunter - SMS isn't counting properly. I've had numerous hits and no change. It seems to reset when I leave and come back but only for short time

[candid heart]

EU 403 seems to be having a similar issues . I have tried multiple systems with a Kumari and Borg Cube, but don't even get a score notification !

[ebon oyster]

At the risk of always making the same post, any chance you're trying to autogrind? If so, it only counts if the attacking ship is a battleship (and your ship type doesn't matter). If you attack manually, your ship type needs to be a battleship and the target ship type does not matter.

[candid heart]

I trierd first using the Kumari autogrind against Augment space battleships. I used a Battleship (manual) against Augment/Klingon/Seperatist and other factions, both manual and autogrind . . . . no recognition or indication I have made a good hit or score

[ebon oyster]

If killing non-augment hostiles with the kumari isn't working something is definitely broken

[candid heart]

👌 Using the Kumari in Pasadoran Battleship V Battleship is working 👍

[teal bramble]

is it a chest you get once? i bought it and was given 1000 particles. but where do you apply them to?

[ebon oyster]

Research in starship tree, then you can claim that chest each day.

[teal bramble]

thanks

@tidal notch #⭐-official-announcements message

Re 2: the chief complaint was the 8 hour window vs 24

Re 3: the chief complaint was ops range, not quantity of combatants. 3v3 will be worse.

Also, have you fixed the worst-ever lag? It was almost unplayable most of the time.

[tidal notch]

Top peices of feedback I heard was:

5v5 too many players too hard to match (Adjusted)

Ops banding

Time of Day. (Adjusted)

Lag reports. (3v3 could also possibly help here too with less players in the match)

[livid pasture]

I’m not looking forward to the lowered number of combatants. 5v5 was a good number, allowed for good teamwork and strategy without being too many players. 3v3 will make it less fun and interesting and make it easier for one person to greatly unbalance a match.

And lag was as low as it ever is.

[crimson stream]

Any possibility of opening up the allowable players, like waves? So friends from other alliances could play together?

[pale garnet]

as if changing the arena pvp from 5 v's 5 to 3 v's 3 is going to make any difference to the 7 ops range either side, 7 ops higher can still annihilate a 7 ops lower, where do you get your sense of fairplay from

[olive summit]

Its 3vs3 cuz whales complaining they dont have enough whales within their range in their alliances to fill 5v5. The biggest whales on my server had trouble doing then.

[vital hawk]

What about extending the hours to 12 hours or 24 hours the length of typical events? Would provide the greatest options for players.

[twilit plover]

Sooo. When’s scopelys community directors going to update when territory capture is going to be live. @tidal notch

[errant brook]

3v3 = whales will have it easier.....

[rich cypress]

3x3 will be better for everyone. Easier to put together teams and hopefully better matchmaking

[tidal notch]

Season starts on Tuesday the 22nd.

[twilit plover]

Also. AWAY TEAMS spend needs a slider. We earned the credits over time already. Why we gotta spend them a couple every 24 hours? Can spend unlimited faction credits every day. Why not away teams credits

[white glacier]

Are there any indications that lower repair times are being considered too please?

[elfin minnow]

3v3 is bull crap. That was not an issue, we can never have nice things.

[small oriole]

unsolicited buy my art fr

[junior sierra]

You forgot rewards not worth the time required.

[twilit plover]

Well we have territories being captured today already. But sure. Let’s go with the 22nd for the “season” to start.

[neon atlas]

Please add more squishy players to arena that are 7 ops above me. The easy kills of large players makes this more fun

[modern crane]

Crazy lag in the territory defenses today. At one point I was warping home and was almost there when it instead decided I was in a pvp battle in the location I left 10-20s ago. Not a good look, and definitely ruins and strategy you could try.

[terse bloom]

iOS update??

[obsidian gazelle]

Lol. This is about people with low self-esteem making themselves feel less impotent.

[bold pagoda]

Android app on server 32 is not launching waves correctly

[vast plinth]

I'm genuinely curious where you guys log these trends, because what I listed is the majority of the complaints I saw here, on the official discord... And I'm on here way more often than I ought be, heh

[toxic plinth]

There's no (Adjusted) after that Ops banding...

[slender sluice]

@tidal notch Why wasn't there an announcement put out that Territory Capture started TODAY 10/18 and not Tue 10/22. Who missed this one? Our alliance may be screwed now since we didn't get our first territory today and our next isn't connected. Please provide an answer and tag me so I see it please.

[bold pagoda]

I launched a wave and it doesn't broadcast to the alliance. I reinstalled the game after trying to check for an update. Restarting it and resetting localization. Other launch waves and the don't have the plus sign. We just fixed a bs issue and now I can't do waves.

[ebon oyster]

Waves never broadcast, you need to manually share

[bold pagoda]

They don't share correctly only the location not wave defensive started and system.

[slate chasm]

Tell us where this feedback came from. Specifically if it was whales or not because that wasn’t the feedback from the majority of the playerbase

[timber root]

Just make team size a selectable option when putting the team together. 5v5 is a good size for bigger alliances.

[livid vapor]

Territory capture never stopped it was just reset,
it’s the territory battlepass season that starts on Tuesday.

[spark ermine]

I've never seen anything written about matchmaking change. That was a big problem, too.

[grave quest]

scroll up. 😂 It’s seriously all right there

[slate chasm]

No it ain’t no sources and quantifiable metrics. Just basically our whales cried that they couldn’t get games so everyone gets 3v3. It’s not like they asked the entire game pop

[old seal]

i think you people misheard....the problem with the match ups was ops 65 vs ops 58 for example. Again not about the quantity which is a theme with Devs

[haughty sail]

at least now the 65 only has 3 players to instantly kill so the match is over faster, get those 400 points and move on

[void timber]

Scopely, you did it again. Since last three updates, (this arc) the game is nearly unplayable on old devices. We are back at the point half year ago, as you had fixed this, and the game was fine even on an old iPad pro. 2017.. but now.. no fun. And finally the last update from yesterday, kills the game fun on an actually samsung s24. I had never a lag on a S10 or S24.. but now you made it. Well done.

[drifting cove]

Okay i have a question dors any one know where to pick up the mission that unlocks the missions in New Dozaria?

[rotund yew]

I wonder if scopely would share the figures of the amount of players who have quit post server merge and why they have continued this thinking? Many people who left along with many who have gone through the merger more than once feel its devisive at best.

[drifting cove]

I have another question. I am just doing the field traing tasks in the mission tab and it wants to to build another orion corvette. Anyone remeber or know what systems are good hunting that drops those BPs?

[vale wasp]

Orion works. Multiship so it goes by quicker.

[south jay]

Grabthor's hammer would be worth it if the exo was in it this time.

[crude rose]

Rifts are unreasonably buggy. Need to enter 3 times for it to finaly work. And then ship spawns in wrong place.

[sand notch]

Thank goodness for the Field Training Loop. 40k xindi scraps has been such a timesaver/QOL. There was light at the end of the tunnel. 😻 ...... i forgot the rest of the message..... Thank you !! that's the equiv of 20k little 💩 's

[gentle fog]

Killed 130 mirror hostiles with trellium D and its not even showing up on the scoreboard.

[finite mural]

are you getting loot?

[gentle fog]

Yep, 120000 raw trellium D

On our server 702/dominion only 14 ppl could score on this event

[sand notch]

brand new server issues.....not tried it yet @gentle fog

[autumn coral]

Ok don't normally play these games and don't know if this sight is closely connected to Scopeplay I've requested to start my account over and it is insane the difficulty they seen having being anything but doornails I've given them the information they clesry have lol over and over and over and over what the hell is the issue

[marble holly]

So looks like Scumplay have nerfed mining lat and c lat with anything OTHER than the Di'Vor, as mining rates with other mining ships are about on par now with the Fortunate! What gives? This makes scoring in RoA a bit tougher, I feel.

[slender monolith]

havent latinum rates with anything other than D'vors, or suitable crews, always been horrific? tbh can't say i mined it often with anything that wasn't a D'Vor, although i did use a G3 miner and the lat specific officer a few times.

[marble holly]

I could drain an 84k c lat node in an hour with the Horizon and C lat crew. Lat was about 15 minutes with a Horizon and lat crew.

[slender monolith]

Hmm, Vorta Vor with Ferengi crew, 84k node in Altair, 28m for me. IIRC it used to be a bit over 30m when I last did it, pre-Whip times.

[heady knoll]

to be fair on arena i did it the last hour or so when it ran ,we had no issues with lag and the 5v 5 gave eneugh space to run some tactics even against groups with one higher level present ... 3v3 might make for quicker matches ( was not an issue for our alliance ) lag was no issue . but gratefull it was resolved ... sadly the poor rewards are still left as is so will still need to group grind for couple hours to make the loot for a week of box pulls , this would be a great side event that runs permanently giving eneugh loot so one or 2 matches won a day be eneugh to box pull it a 8 hour slot for it is just inconsiderate for working people -first run everyone during the day and late shift been bend over ,this time people in late working slots wont be able to do anything if lucky they can join the last hour or so if they get home in time

[blazing ingot]

the game freezes and slows down every 15 minutes, this hemorrhoid has been going on for several years now, every month, scopely , pay for your rental servers, or do something, every month this problem and then this problem goes away somewhere until the next month 👿👿

[autumn coral]

Wow 12 emails with Scopeplay to restart my game that request and provide all information and this one asked what I needed lol any suggestions this is probably the absolute worse customer service in my 60 years of life absolutely no Idea how the game has any success at all

[livid pasture]

Any chance we can get the Monaveen Mark II refit in the event store?

[north garden]

Latest android game update is causing massive battery drain for myself and several of my alliance mates. I am using Galaxy S23 ultra.
Game has always had battery drain challenges but this latest update seems to be draining about 1% per 2 minutes of game play.

[cobalt verge]

I would like to see work done on the old loops that finish when specialty ships reach max tier/level. IE Discovery loop remains the same but could start giving Prime Research Particles to increase it's warp range in the same way Cerritos loop starts giving Rare Culver Particles for it's Primes.

[limber mesa]

there is no crew for regular latinum.
concentrated latinum is still as fast as ever (43 minutes with horizon, 18 minutes with nova)
for concentrated latinum, did you perhaps accidentally put fess as captain, instead of arrock?

[sand notch]

@civic slate thank you so much for the "DJ" not the scopely part......... please do this more often 😻
I've not danced for so long

[gaunt citrus]

I got a question when i See my last supportrequest and the answer from support: i wanted my playerid(got no access to my PC atm) and get an answer " ... please send your Player ID...". Do you really have humans as Support or trained apes?!?

[sand notch]

email them..... it bypasses the bot and is quicker #👽-how-to-contact-support
i fib, doesn't exactly bypass the bot....... the email bot has 1.5 braincells vs 0;25 tribbleshooter.
The humans who reply are amazing 😻

[gaunt citrus]

I did send an email

[drifting fulcrum]

Credit where credit is due, a sadly rare well done Scopely for some reasonable low cost packs! More of this please.

[slender monolith]

Lucky you! They’re 49.99 for me

[drifting fulcrum]

Oh What can I say, Scopely makes it hard for us all!, a shame as I thought a little bit of common sense prevailed at Scopely HQ it appears not.

[finite mural]

they scale, pack 3 is 49.99, pack 1 is probably 9.99

[drifting fulcrum]

Yeah fair point.. I'll take back my well done then. Scopely sort it out!

[round shard]

This is a terrible colour combination for a health bar at the bottom of phone screen

[halcyon crow]

The claim all button in dailies is B S. Move the button out of the way. Why did you move it right to the top right corner and put it right in the way….?

[unique osprey]

Bek is probably staring at the mirror and thinking of new face expressions to annoy us

[livid pasture]

<@&509690795536941056> two questions:

1. Can we get the Monaveen Mark II refit in the event store?
2. When are we getting f2p sourcing for the newer temporal artifacts?

[harsh thunder]

When are we going to get another event where we collect Protector ship BPs? Don't forget about that stuff like you all seemed to do with the war room.

[quasi silo]

Can we have a slide bar for these please 😫

[tepid valve]

@tidal notch <@&509691205798592532> I was hoping you could clear something up for me cuz I’ve been hearing conflicting things about TC. Now I know all zones got reset last week and that since last Friday, Alliances have been able to capture t1 zones. And I know that the next TC battle pass will also drop next week on the 22nd along with its corresponding Event. My question is will all TC zones be reset again on the 22nd, and we’ll all have to start again from zero? Or will we continue right where we left off and keep the zones we’ve been fighting for since last Friday? Thank you🖖

[finite mural]

OInly resets if you have a merger, otherwise nothing changes

[timid sphinx]

Anyone else seeing posts in GC from players you have muted?

[neon atlas]

The Band or the Health Organization?

[scarlet quail]

<@&509690795536941056> Could you please tell support that if they are going to offer choice coins for affecting my gameplay that they make the choice rewards suitable for my ops level and not someone ops 25🙄. Normally I would be, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth but there is also a point where it is insulting. (I am ops 41,…..2* mats…..really?!) 🙄
P.S. showing Sept because I claimed the October so the dumb claim button would stop being so distracting

[blazing ingot]

Scopely , do something with the game, the game freezes every 15 minutes 👿👎, how can I reach you with this problem ? 😂🤦

[paper ginkgo]

Stfc doesn't honor for all players to provide FC seats in the event store. I earned one. Purchased with cash my second and though I'm a 4 plus year player at ops 54 stfc won't allow the FC seat to be purchased in the event store citing some unknown, undisclosed criteria that I have to meet. Support is no help as usual. Why do I waste my time with stfc if they don't honor advertised features. I pay cash for one of the 2 available for purchase and the second is supposed to be purchaseable from the event store. Bad faith STFC

[livid pasture]

So, release great sourcing for multiple things in one of the best features ever (tournaments), but make cooldowns so it takes multiple runs to unlock anything and then cancel the event before it runs enough to actually unlock anything…

You’ve outdone yourselves, scopely…

[ornate oracle]

Move the claim all button to away teams
Remove negative faction rep from the daily claims

[lusty leaf]

Try asking in AC, GC, or your server discord: https://discord.com/channels/509679626763632640/971162037948391444

[marble holly]

Possibly, but I have a crew preset for c lat. My lat crew is Fess(c), 10 of 11, and Quark. The system that I usually mine in shows a rate of 3,903/hr. It used to be 5 figures, and could get about 67k in 15 minutes or so.

[sinful socket]

Matchmaking in arena still a joke most in my alliance won’t either bother doing arenas

[sinful socket]

The +/- 7 ops lvl is a joke do it like ops 60 - 70 ops 50-59 ops 40-49 a bit like the brackets for events then it would be a lot fairer

[tropic crown]

Because others complained it was at the bottom of the screen. I not sure why everyone is mad, use it or don’t. I love the thing myself, we need more claim all fictions.

[sinful socket]

I wish there was a claim all for mission key recruit I had like 60 of those took forever to collect one at a time

[tropic pecan]

Match making for Arena is completely broken. Im level 56 and keep landing in matches with multiple level 66's

[limber mesa]

your math is way off there.
even if we take the highest 5 figures, you'd never get 67k in 15 minutes.
99.999k/hour would give you 25k in 15 minutes.
it would take a rate of 268k/hour to mine 67k in 15 minutes, and that would require over 10.000% mining boost.
nothing gives that much universal mining boost, and only d'vor can get that much in latinum specific boost.(feesha with glass skin gets more)

[fierce spruce]

That reward pack always had the 2* mats...I'm OPS 57 and still have the same rewards you posted.

[boreal flame]

Why isn't arena a daily event. the 8hour slot is way to short

[autumn kiln]

How do you compete with this really scopley come on now.

[sinful socket]

They said they fixed matchmaking yeah right instead of ops levels +/- do like events create brackets

[fierce spruce]

The +/- levels are directed at your arena team, it's not the guideline for the team matching up in the arena, players with different ranks will push thro arena matches with other higher rank arenas.

[midnight shale]

No point playing if we can’t win

[slender monolith]

Well, if everyone says that, then no one should bother 🤷‍♂️

[rare rune]

What the ****

[north cairn]

I have a crazy idea. Arena puts everyone to a set ops level,same ships,same officers like a loadout when que pops and then you strategize that is skill based. If they are worried about making money they can still sell the credits like now. It eliminates the problem with big swings of one sided matches. Because true skill based.

[finite mural]

The way guild wars does it would be best.

[north cairn]

I have never played it. How does guild wars do it?

[midnight shale]

How the hell is this fair

[north cairn]

Why would I spend $100 on an uncommon arena pack when I can’t reach the rank to use it. Make everyone same and that is where skilled based PvE/Pvp is born. As for a development they are making the same load out for all so will be copy paste. Both teams same ships ,same officers,same ship level ops and research not a factor

[vivid terrace]

Skills in pvp in STFC? If everyone has same ships, officers and set to same Ops, Research etc every pvp battle would end in a draw. I get your idea and same ships/ops lvl is a good one, but research and officers has to be bespoke to the player otherwise PvP can’t function. Whether making those changes would improve is debatable as the biggest would still win, but it feels like everyone wants a system where they win conveniently ignoring fact that PvP is a zero sum game and for every winner there is a loser

[dense belfry]

If i see something like that i just go straigh afk, not gonna bother with it even🤦‍♂️ 💩

And there really is zero skill in the actual fights, its all about officers, research and ship. During a fight itself you have only point and click. So click to run away or attack but besides that you dont really have much skill options

[north cairn]

How would it be a draw. First 1000 wins,10 min timer whoever has highest wins get points for PvP,killing hostiles and armada I cant imagine a draw. When you load in research is not included now everyone can actually play a balanced game mode because that is what arena is a game mode, you can still beat on lower ops in normal mode

[upper lava]

Allthough i have started the armada, it doesn't started and i have lost 200 rare armada points

[rapid jasper]

Arena matching needs fixing. Our mid 40+ team keeps getting matched to low 50+ teams.

[grizzled plover]

Yep, all the ones I was in where the same, no wins at all, no hope, the 3v3 change did nothing if not made it worse.... just going backwards on the leader board 😦

[grave quest]

having the prime BUILDING research in the starship tree is just evil. it clearly belongs in the station tree.

[fast horizon]

The Syndicate Elite Daily Exchange is a daylight robbery....
supposed to give you chances over 4x value of reward but always only give you the smallest.....
@rigid vapor please fix this

[slender monolith]

The odds are not in your favour

[burnt seal]

New “Claim All” daily button at the top right is still a horrible placement. Probably worse than before. Easier to hit it by accident. Can they make it a setting so people can turn it off completely?

[odd prawn]

No arena repair tokens being sent out this time? <@&509690795536941056>

[civic osprey]

Sorry, but the Arena can’t work.
Can’t compete against whales 🤬

[torpid kelp]

<@&509690795536941056> i can't understand in any way how you come up with the glorious idea of matchmaking like this. a team level 62/64/64 with *6 uc ships against a team 66/66/67 with *6 rare ships. it's so easy to adjust the matchmaking. whether it would be with g5 or g6 ships. example: team 1 with 1 rare g6 ship and g6 uc ships are matched against a team that also has at least one g6 rare ship. if team 2 has no g6 rare ship, it cannot be matched against team 1 and this can be applied to epic g6 and g6 uc ships, the same for g5 and g4 ships. it is feasible and not difficult to realize.

[errant brook]

WTF

[haughty sail]

just going at the tone-deaf way they are handling this, they know full well that this matchmaking is unbalanced and unfair. But they hope people start to rage spend to try and be the bigger one in the match making. But I wouldn't be surprised if the system automatically gives the VIP/big spenders the favourable matching. So jokes on you for even trying

[kind star]

Scopeless is incapable of producing anything meaningful. Pathetic company. Do they only have incompetents? They certainly don't earn any money with this rubbish. Balancing is only good for the upper 5% players.

[torpid kelp]

<@&509690795536941056> or if it is too difficult for your programmer, then do 1 vs 1 level against level

[timber root]

Yeah, the matchmaking still isn't working properly

[timber root]

How is that a fair matchmaking ?

[hazy dagger]

basically if your opponents can score 10x what your team can...it's obviously not right

[limber mesa]

2 G6 and a G5, against 3x G6.
we've won similar matchups, but with 2 G5 and a G4 against 3 G5's.
so this one isn't completely unreasonable.

[spark void]

And this? They provide the 7 up down - yet can’t do the maths up to 12…

[timber root]

<@&509690795536941056> Yeah, matchmaking is awful, way worse than last week. Also, the Borg Cube is insanely bugged and never is where it appears

[rare vale]

Problem is that this games PvP is awful. There's no such thing as balance. It's just bigger fish eat smaller fish. Unless they fix PvP as a whole, I don't know how arena will ever be remotely fun.

[timber root]

Yeah, last match we encountered the same team as above, the 66 just sat at the system's entry with speed crews on and picked out our ships as we came into the system, nothing we could do. So basically we played for 1 minute, got our ships' rears handed to us and then sat there watching them win. Not fun.

[errant brook]

• Matchmaking is poor
• If two players try to start the same armada the one who loses can't start Armadas until the first has finished.
• Glitching
• Ships not reacting to orders.
• Timers not working right. Timer at 10 seconds already and Ship get shot out of Armada.

Overall poor Performance

[silver laurel]

Hoping there is a fix to the improper EC XP given out before it returns...

[errant brook]

<@&509690795536941056> this is 💩

[restive geyser]

Play the crap yourself before you put something new together.

[mint raven]

yep agree it is unplayable

the max of us was 57 and we got 1 64 and 1 62 should of take screenshot

[wise notch]

Inactive squads should be removed... it's stupid that people that are afk for hours keep "open" squads

[odd iris]

One 46 one 47 one 50 and you get as enemy two 52 and one 56. Well done👏. 56 cleared everyone. No chance at all. And big Performance issues. There should be a cancel option after group match to not lose 7 minutes of live.

[timber root]

This match up should not be possible

Even this. If you only look at Ops levels sure it's pretty balanced, but just one epic G5 ship will totally win the game

Yup, Arena feature dead on week 2.

[torpid kelp]

quite honestly you may meet me in the moonlight

[glossy trellis]

You think this is fair match? Really need improve opponent searching…

[nova sierra]

matchmaking is awful 👎

[ivory ibex]

I’m ops 56 with 2 below 59and I get teamed against a group of 61-66 ….and you call this “fixed”…..back to the drawing board guys and maybe take a pay-cut

[timber root]

Might be my worst match up yet ... If this how it's gonna be and the matchmaking won't be changed, can we at least get an option to give up the match so we don't waste 10 minutes doing nothing ?

[torpid kelp]

after the input you got from your paying customers last week, you managed to make it even worse. you have to be able to do that first

[pale garnet]

your g5 fkr events need to be added at the same time as other fkr events not later when they finish at the same time as others, bad programming

[trim lagoon]

3v3 is woeful. Zero balancing. I was top of my server, and no matter what sort of teams I can put out, we're hitting teams that are a full G higher...

[eager wave]

Smaller teams will mean better matchmaking latest -

[halcyon coral]

Feedback...

3v3 is rubbish for match making.

The end.

[cinder citrus]

Drop the squads from only being from your alliance. Because the whole gamemode has nothing to do with your alliance since it's only personal progress.

[halcyon coral]

In what world can this match up happen?

[silver laurel]

problem is you are ranked higher than the opponents as are your teammates if I'm not mistaken...and matchmaking looks at average ops and average arena rank. Problem with that strategy is it will just be all the high g6 at the top and everybody else down low eventually. And of course what's the point in that when only the top spenders will get access to the good rewards, which they probably spent to get already.

[spring epoch]

That's when scopely listens to the players and "understands" what we need. Perfect job done. 😝

[timber root]

Pretty much all our higher lvl players have simply given up on arenas already

[limber mesa]

a ranking based matching system doesn't work when power is so heavily restricted by level, and power is 99% of what counts.

[silver laurel]

Exactly if they still want to hold to that matchmaking system. Losing needs to still award points when power is mismatched instead of taking them away. There needs to be a better system for it to be worth it. For instance if you lose to a much higher power but still got x amount of points before losing you still gain points. Something like that to make it worthwhile to try and engage in some point collection when mismatched power wise.

[golden spade]

The impulse timers are about a 1min off in mirror space. i'm so glad there's an event today. stuck hostiles and shield display are also off, even after clear loc. don't forget ghost hostiles also!

[crimson elm]

Arena is unbalanced WHY am I an ops 48 having to fight a 56??????? But then again you are basing the Arena matchings on the PVP ranking I wont be surprised if I have to face 70 soon because you open the brackets. NOT FUN. it is a waste of time

[winged olive]

Is it so difficult to make arenas of equal strength? It can't be fair that a 58lvl player fights against a 63lvl player.

[pure plover]

It's worse when your highest player is ops 56, fighting ops 63s and their 4b+ ships that even when they use speed crews you bounce off without doing any damage

[woeful rapids]

get rid of the countdown timer after the match.... you know what stings worse than getting steamrollered? having to sit and look at the score for thirty seconds afterwards for literally no reason

[slate nacelle]

congratulations to the parents of scopely, 5 arenas all at these levels

[halcyon coral]

They are putting far too much emphasis on ranking then. There is no world, ever, where that team on right is a fair match up for the team on left. That shows they need to seriously think about how they match up.

[errant brook]

the matchmaking is just out of control and scopely failed hard if they even really tried. I would be ashamed to release such a crap

[drifting fulcrum]

Can we have a concede button in the arena for when you get a bad match up, just wastes everyone's time otherwise. The game is already a time vacuum...

[slate nacelle]

there is only one solution, the matches must be made with equal levels, 3 players 53 against 3 players 53, only in this way can the game be fair

[tawny pawn]

And never get a match if your only person in alliance at a certain level

[crimson elm]

Match making suggestion, Starter of Squad Ops 48, 47-49 can join. Opponents 47-49. If there is no match then they WAIT till there is someone to match Or then auto extend to 46-50 dont then make those players face a G5 that is WAY to out of the G4s range. G4 stay in G4 G5 Stay in G5, G6 Stay in G6

[slate nacelle]

now the comparison is as if to say to westappan, since you are winning we will make you race against an f16

[drifting fulcrum]

The PvP disparity is now beyond ridiculous, it was bad before now it's just beyond a joke. Arenas, Incursions, all now not playable for me. Scopely 101 on how to kill your own game off cause they are running out of ideas for expansions...

[rustic silo]

58+/-7 should be 65 at most. I've had 69 player against me. That's 11 freaking lvl above me!!! Works perfectly, Scopely... Perfectly as usual!

[restive geyser]

At the alliance tournament you wrote that you had taken the community's feedback into account. so one could assume that they will do the same here. So, everything will be fine (when the crap is gone).

[pure rock]

The game used to be really fun, but this endless greed for money coupled with the inability to simply produce a stable game is really getting on your nerves and is making it even less motivating to keep playing, let alone pay.

[glass horizon]

Matchmaking is clearly not working.

[cosmic anvil]

Matching will be better 3 vs 3 they said 😂 😆 🤣- same totally wrong matching as 5 vs 5. 4 and 5G players against three mid 6G players, three times in a row 😒 Get your homework done at $copely before you overpromise once more. Really annoying and takes out all fun of this great idea

[timber root]

Another "fine" match up ...

[echo mirage]

Add a good dose of lag and it's classic scopely

[cosmic anvil]

Surely the lag is a feature of the game…

[timber root]

rofl what are we expected to do ?

[cosmic anvil]

I stopped doing them, till they know how to match fairly. Else it‘s just like incursions. Get beaten by a ship 5x your size. No matter how smart you play, do your research or crewing. 😠

[weak grove]

the matchmaking has not been fixed by 3vs3. this is ridiculous, think of another system or at least build in a barrier, that no one with 10 ops difference can be matched

[robust imp]

Sack off arenas. Game stability and matching is terrible

[valid grove]

Maybe not a priority, but please: let me leave immediately if I want to. Being forced to look at the „you lost“ screen for 30 seconds is kinda sadistic

[weak grove]

yes, and why though, why 20sec, 5 are enough

[woeful rapids]

I've been matched with the same team twice in a row, twice. Both times it was a team we beat quite badly as well. Your matchmaking is ATROCIOUS

[wooden sand]

perfectly match...... this needs to either be massively improved, or it may as well be ditched like Assaults

[fallen spear]

$copely ain't the proper company to massively improve anything really- they might as well simply ditch it, because we have seen it over and over again what happens when they start to tinker (usually announced as improvement/bug fixes) around 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

[halcyon coral]

Two on a row. Its a waste of time now. Gone to play Throne and Liberty

[valid grove]

Another thing: please remove that 2min cd that is solely in place so you can sell those speedup tokens.
This is supposed to be a heated battle, not a „oh, I‘m waiting for my ships to repair for 2mins“.
Without this cooldown, ships are back in battle within seconds, allowing for real strategy instead of elevator music.
I mean, a battle runs for 10mins and you give us a 2mins cd on ship repairs? Meaning I can repair a total of 5 ships? Comon now

[pale garnet]

the most unbalanced matching yet, there is not even an avg equality, one side is massive versus the other, yeah, scopely does not know how to count, better go back to school people

[limpid stirrup]

This arena really needs to be opened up to randoms, I just wasted over an hour waiting to fill 3 it didn’t happen. I can’t image what would have happened if it were 5.
The fact it’s only once a week is even worse because now I wait another week and it might be the same thing

[ebon geyser]

Matchmaking perfection.

[woeful rapids]

jeez I thought we had it bad with 4 67 ops matches in a row, that sucks man

[covert mist]

This is such epic trash.

[odd berry]

DOA Content !!!
even when MM is ok the lag is to hard to play an normal match.

[strong swallow]

Twice in a row they over match us with players that are way too strong to play against

[stark lintel]

Between the absolutely crappy “matchmaking” and the horrendous lag today, Arenas is absolutely unplayable @tidal notch @raw fiber
I’ve now lost 3 matches in a row because lag killed my ability to do anything within the first 2 minutes. This is anything but fun.

[thorn badger]

arena still not evenly matched

[rare vale]

If anything, it's worse. My 53 teammate is out leader, yet we're paired with a 67. Yeah, real fair. Scopely needs to overhaul arena, and the pvp mechanics in general, to be fair

[woeful rapids]

fairness doesn't sell packs

[tame sphinx]

As incredibly unbalanced as the arena is, people aren't even bothering to leave their bases.
As a 55 there is nothing I can do against a 62 at all - yet you keep pitting me against them.
At least I didn't spend any money recently... you have done a magnificent job keeping me angry enough not to.
Well done, Scopely, you are helping my family budget.

[nova sierra]

Will NEVER do arena again, not fair match's at all, how do you match sub 60s with 60+? And on top of that we aren't even getting the event currency. Thank you scopley for the disrespect. Will definitely warn people not to do this stuff again

[dire wigeon]

The Arena system is a fail because beyond just matchmaking Ops levels there are other factors. A whale at 50 who has maxed out agony booth etc and are locked on a server that hasn't advanced yet is probably more powerful then people in the mid to high 50s. Spending is a huge factor as well. There is no legit way to balance this where people can have fun and not just gamble on if the are gonna get their ass kicked this round or maybe win if lucky over and over. No way to just surrender and end the suffering when you spawn in and see the other team can literally sneeze and kill your team etc

[lone vessel]

At least y'all can try to play..... my position isn't unique because as far as i know there's still a thing called whales in a small alliance pond.....

[nova sierra]

We have a lvl 70 who can't do arenas because there aren't enough close to him

[lone vessel]

I'm a 60, on the cusp of 61, next closest player to me is 49

[gentle fog]

Missing part of the Arena is matchmaking balance. This mode is literally designed for whales

[nova sierra]

It's designed to get us in our emotions, people have a habit of spending money when emotional, good decisions don't come from emotional thinking and they are trying to manipulate people into spending. People will argue that they won't spend anymore, but those people aren't the target, the people who spend alot and already have everything are the target.

[fossil sable]

You need to switch the Arena event to a day other than Mining Monday.

[gentle fog]

It had an opposite effect on me, i stopped spending on this game long time ago since devs could't hide their intentions manipulating ppl into spending. Everyone could see that behind this game. Almost every items 100$ for a faulty mobile game lmao

[plush trout]

That's what i dont get. Who can justify that kind of money for such a poorly designed game?

[median ferry]

Matchmaking in the arena is fundamentally broken. I start an arena as a 43, have two high powered 49s in my squad, and get pummeled by a single 50. This is ridiculous. I'm not saying what I really think, because the CMs don't need to deal with that much profanity. They're pretty cool.

[fallen spear]

I'd rather burn my money on the table right in front of me, than throwing it at Scopely for their lousy working game.

[sly belfry]

We need to get the following events back: Incursion, War Room, Alliance Tournament & Incursion. I have stuff there i would like to source from this events. Better not perfect events, than 0 sourcing of stuff.

[velvet sequoia]

Why are arenas SO GLITCHY NOW??? they were not glitchy the first time

[strong swallow]

What's the logic of allowing a Ops 67 to target an Ops 42? I'm down for some pvp but this makes zero sense

[forest egret]

How is scopely calculating the matchups? Scopely match Match of 44, 48, 49 versus 46, 51, 54 (with significant power difference)

[gentle fog]

Tell me this is photoshoped...

[strong swallow]

I wish it was. But nope it's the real deal.

[wary citrus]

JUST POOR MATCH MAKING

[fluid mist]

yep I've had reports just like that back when i was in the 40s unfortunately to scopleys pvp means that an average player is food for anyone up to 25 lvs higher and there aint nothing you can do except stay in station under a shield and twiddle your thumbs. ive had times where I've had 2 67s and a 70 sitting on top of my shielded base for 3hrs stopping me for doing anything and hitting any ship i sent out

[velvet sequoia]

Your starter matters. If your 44 started for this group you'd only be matched with 40-51

[white glacier]

That's not how it works I'm afraid.

[runic dirge]

Think you could make arena anymore uneven this is completely ridiculous

[cursive gale]

Okay so more ways to improve Arenas. don't match teams where a missmatch in ships occurs. Example is I'm 58 so if I join with others below 60, then if we get pitted against a 60+ they will have Epic 5* ships that with just speed crews lay waste to ever ship present. Now if we have someone that is also 60, then at least we can fight back

[forest egret]

The Starter WAS 44

[vocal gorge]

Ore miss match’s

[golden maple]

Arena was fun last week. I played almost the full 8 hours. This week? Not so much. 3v3 is missing the fun chaos of 5v5, and the matchmaking is crazy.

[gilded escarp]

Hey $copely, way to exclude people who don’t want to join a big alliance from arenas! Many players don’t want to be pulled into server drama, which is what comes with big alliances, or whatever other reasons they have. It just excludes more players from playing cool and interesting aspects of the game. <@&509690795536941056> any chance of this being remedied or all of us who don’t want to blindly join big alliances screwed? Armada stuff you can easily overcome being in a small alliance, however as a PvP person, I was excited for this type of event. Sadly I can’t participate since I’d rather not join drama ridden server politics

[rare vale]

I'm seeing so many people complaining about the awful matchmaking imbalance. I'm totally with you on it. Personally, I'm not doing anymore arena until they make the pairings, and PVP as a whole, much more balanced. I hope many others do the same and show scopely that we're not gonna play (or more importantly pay for) bad content.

[raven blade]

There are so many bugs in the arena. Matchings, ghost ships, not being able to Target the other alliance in armadas, I went to attack a hostile to avoid an attack by an enemy and they still come up and attack me before the Hostile initiated. There was a clear 2 to 3 second lag between the two attacks

[gilded escarp]

Sadly $copely don’t care unless you pay, anything said here hardly ever matters unless it affects someone’s pocketbooks

[red holly]

The gaps are wide

[vast summit]

Arena matching is a complete joke, but Scopely certainly doesn’t give a 💩

[gilded escarp]

doesnt affect their pocket books enough ha

[turbid vapor]

Stop matching g6 with g5 players my god

[leaden junco]

@tidal notch thank you for helping getting the Hammer in store last week!

Now if we can get matchmaking to work. The ONLY way this is going to work is to cap levels....for example if a 50, 58, and 60 are in a squad, the opposition HAS to be capped at 60. The power gap is too wide. Listen to what the players are telling you. These match ups today are terribad. Frankly, there should be a compensation gift of 1500 or so arena points to make up for some of these egregious losses.

[quick coral]

Seems fair.... @tidal notch

[turbid vapor]

What is it so difficult to understand to stop matching g5 with g6 players ???

[limber steeple]

forced pvp would be a lot easier if you created a filter for PVP officers

[quick coral]

Lol, try g4 vs g6 players...

[leaden junco]

That's been a top complaint since last week. They'd have to be dense not to address it next week

[steep bridge]

Bet they don’t address it, then 🤣

[half prism]

Arena feedback:
Loosing arena rank because of a loost arena match is really unfair, because you getting to often matched with a stronger team!
You loose acces to stuff in terran faction store to scopely lottery.

Please remove the lose of arena ranking, to make the arena more fair for all player!

[rare vale]

Exactly right. Which is why I hope people just stop supporting arena. Make it a non revenue generator until they figure out how to make it fair and balanced.

[vagrant fjord]

Explain how this is fair

[leaden junco]

Yea. If arena is going to work, they HAVE to cap it so that if there is no player more than 60 on a team, you should not see a 60+. If that's not fixed, arena is doomed

[gilded escarp]

that doesnt help the whales get more out of their money, it wont happen

[leaden junco]

Then the other option is no loss of rank points. Has to be one of the two because you can buy all the repair tokens you want, but if people stop playing arena. And 4 from my alliance just said they are done, then all the money in the world can't put players back into it. The more likely of the options is in fact capping it: 40-50, 51-60, 61-70. Has to be done.

Seeing some of these matches I think a comp chest consisting of arena rank points is not only warranted, but expected.

[rare vale]

I get where you're going, but even that separation won't work. I'm a 63, and I simply can't even compete with most 64s. They have access to so much that I don't. They need to pair up based on something other than ops lvl. Maybe player power? I don't know, all I know is the current setup is trash.

[cursive gale]

Honestly at this point, I feel like latency and targeting issues due to aramda tags always taking precidence are both going to cause problems. Scrap the armadas and put in special hostiles instead to chase that have massive hull so it takes multiple hits to take out until you can find a solution to allow the armada style competition

[whole token]

You have to fix the levels in arenas. We have the strongest guy on our server on our team and we are capped at 60 and were matching up against equal or less power players at level 61 and 62 that can get the next tier of ships and they are just smoking us because of the ships alone. Our last one we fought a guy that had a ship that was 5.7 billion power and I lead our server in power destroyed and if I killed his ship once it would be more than 3 times my total power destroyed

[thick cipher]

the matchmaking was problematic for sure.

a 50 and two 57's shouldn't be paired with 60's two matches in a row, i was about 50/50 last go round, this go round I was 1 for 6

[devout orbit]

Having a feature like in waves, where if you cant fill that level spot in your arena, you can ask in GC for someone to join. Have a button that opens it to the server for someone to join. We have level issues in my alliance, where smaller players are forced to join 2 other larger players, and get pitted against players in their arena level range.

[kind minnow]

if ur not in the tops ops ranges it means u spend too little and are not on scopely's care list. this pvp range is to ensure bullies that pay to bully actually ge to bully around. else everyone just stays small :p

[cursive gale]

What I'm noticing is it seems the Arena Rank may be acting as a multiplier on power level perhaps. So if you rank up too high in Arena you'll risk getting pitted against larger players who are lower ranks

[ripe thicket]

If a player has all their ships destoyed, their current ship should be instant repair. And then once destoyed, the next one is instant repair. This allows the fights to keep going.

[kind minnow]

lol after the slb;s going on for months ? think scopely is a bit tonedeaf towards that. the reason is G6 costs sooo much theres too few g6 players and they want to shoot down.. not sideways and up.

[runic dirge]

If they did that then they wouldn’t sell repair packs 🤦🏽‍♂️

[tepid bramble]

They still won’t except for the most thirty of players. Honestly this feature is DOA.

[runic dirge]

Couldn’t agree more, they need to give you repair tokens I couldn’t even get them at first because I wasn’t high enough rep.

[cerulean sandal]

Okay, matching a level 53 with a level 56 is bad enough but you need to take into account the player's vessels. A level 56 with a Sanctus is going to wipe the floor with anyone who doesn't have a like vessel.

[tough mulch]

Suggestion for improvement:

After introducing the blue Muppet with the red sleeping mask named Byr Ch‘Kelrer…

Grab the license for Muppets Pigs in Space.

A few new officers and a ridiculous ship that is useless and loses to every opponent. The ship's sole purpose is new missions that display bad jokes in dialogs.

[turbid vapor]

Stop matching g6 with g5. Not sure how many time i have say it

[sacred garden]

Trick or treat scopley !!!! Friendly reminder Halloween just around the corner so don’t get scared to give us something good to eat

[full gate]

G4 Vs G6's brilliant matchmaking. 😕

[turbid vapor]

It’s so lame , scopely wake up

[novel zodiac]

Range on my side is 42-56 so don't understand getting this match up

[livid pasture]

Reminder, whatever you do, scopely, do not cancel the event. It’s far better than no event.

And give us back tournaments! And incursions and war room and whatever else…

[errant brook]

Anybody knows the daily rewards? Hopefully not 1 protomatter a day on level 1....

[sacred garden]

Personally I find arena a bigger failure and loser then I do tournaments and it’s a failure but one I perfer to do over arena. The only one a really like is war room, just hate how little you get in emblems for upgrading the tech at a 1 that’s going to take years to get enough to unlock that tech. So many bad decisions just to try to force people to spend their almighty bucks at outrageous prices for mediocre at best cosmetics in a severely broken game. Talk about crooks it’s like paying a crack head to fix your lemon of a car. lol I remember a time when game makers were more about providing good entertainment rather then just trying to rip people off. Quality is better than quantity.

9 days tell Halloween, yet no mention of what it will be or how long it will run . If judge by last few years I’m guessing either it’s going to be only a day or a few hrs since every yr since game launch it gotten less and less for holiday events.

[gentle fog]

Stop playing arena till whales play against eachother to see the prefection of such non existent matchmaking balance for themselves

[lethal bridge]

Matchmaking is one problem for arena.

Biggest problems are:

• extrem Level cap between the teams
• primes kills all
• teams can be only from your alliance -> small pool of player to create a team
• very big difference in ship power, buildings, officers and researches

All these problems end with the following play style in armada:

• speed crews
• killing only NPC
• starting Armadas

I don’t need arena for that play style.

Some points could fix some problems:

• disable prime researches in arena
• open the teams to non alliance players -> players of the same server can create a team
• only the same ops level can create a team
• match only teams with same level
• with 2 above points you get for example 3x lvl 55 vs 3x lvl 55

Problems still existing:

• very big difference in ship power, officers, buildings and researches

But better than nothing

In the actual state you can join an arena and go afk and wait till the end. That is much better as being ganged by whales and doing only NPC killing and doing armadas.

Arena aren’t fun

[balmy iris]

I had one out of nine matches that wasn't right away decided by matchmaking. And that was pretty fun. I will continue to hope for such matches in the coming weeks but unless a majority of fights go into that category rather sooner than later that will be it for me. Tbh it would be pretty simple for Scopely to find out if a match is too unfair for fun. We all know it when we see it.

[gritty turtle]

Mate, disable primes in arena, really?
Seems you have not understood the concept. Arena is SOLELY there to motivate you to buy primes.
Why do you think Scopely is so keen to push the pvp component of the game lately, with events, war room, now arena? Because it motivates you to spend. You get your back kicked and you want to kick back, so you need to get stronger fast to be able to do so. Luckily Scopely has a solution for that problem, go and pay money and you get strong really fast, so you can retaliate!
Psychology 101, but unfortunately it works very well. Nobody would spend so much money if the game would just be about base building, farming and collecting ships...

[olive nacelle]

Like I said the first time Arena’s ran……
Only Scopley could implement a new feature that actually highlights just how broken PVP is in their own game, which they genuinely seem totally clueless about.

You have to applaud the new levels of “doh!” they are managing to reach. 😂

[rotund elm]

The groupings for arena need to be closer together you cannot have lvl 52 matched with a all level 60+

[solar trail]

Fair and balanced right? Explain the reasoning behind these pairings? Happened nearly every time. Aaannnddd...we had to compete against this exact same team TWICE IN A ROW!

[pine galleon]

The player base isn’t big enough to do balanced matchmaking…. Not enough people in the same power/lvl to keep it fun and new. You’d be facing the same people every time…

Truly broken

[weary mason]

Stuck in Arena "Prep Phase" with 00s on timer for over 8 hrs ... definitely broken.

[errant brook]

Source please. For me the matchmaking has just the same low quality as all the other new stuff. It's messed up on arrival.

[leaden junco]

But at least you've got some hope. I've seen matchups posted in here and our server discord where ops 55 is max on one team and ops 64 on another. That's the kind of separation that cannot exist

[kind rampart]

No game has figured out matchmaking. In STFC its just a bit more obvious cause you see ops. But in Call of Duty for example you have a high chance to get matched with pros you might not be able to see it cause they maybe took a break and so they dont have a level again. Is that fair matchmaking? No but you dont see it before playing unlike in stfc. The fact is matchmaking is bad in all games and it was clear scopely doesnt have a solution to an industry-wide problem.

If you need a source look at stfc.wtf there are stats. The active daily player base per reason is not big enough to have enough players to find a equally strong opponent every time and always. Why its only 8h i guess and not 24h

[maiden gate]

So many screenshots of teams w/ 1 or 2 G6 vs a team of all G5's .... here ya go here's another example of "fair match-ups" ..
Someone said how sad it is to "know the impending outcome before the match starts" and that was the case in probably 90% of my matches yesterday.
The FEW times that somehow the moon, stars, and planets aligned and it was a somewhat more "even match-up" ... it WAS actually fun .... win or lose ... FUN , but when you know going into it that there is no point even un-docking a ship then it's pointless.

[mossy sparrow]

Having such a short window for arena at the same time each week is unfair to those who have work or some other appointment at this time. Why not extend the window? Or give out a certain number of entries? Or make it every 4 days or something so the day varies?

[idle skiff]

So many issues to fix, but do you know what the biggest issue is? Boredom!
I have been in 9 Arenas since they started, and knew the result of all of them before they started or l even saw the opponents ships😀😀...Matchmaking at it's finest.
Sort that out first, or the feature is DOA, then just the matter of lag, targeting, run time and timing to sort out 🤣🤣

[rapid arch]

3v3 made this less fun. It lead to a lot more unbalanced match ups and made it so one G6 players could camp at the other teams armadas and just wait for you warp in. Lag also increased and during it's intail run of arena event I had no crashes, this run I had 3. Bring back 5v5 in.

[cursive gale]

What I've noticed is the drastic differences come when you're put up against larger players who are lower arena rank than you. It screams that they're using arena rank as some kind of multiplier as well for matchmaking. So as we get higher in ranks, we will eventually wind up fighting some larger players than we can handle to "put us in our place" so to say. If Arena had been here since game start it probably wouldn't cause as much match making issue since everyone who would care would be already pretty close to the rank their ops would be best suited for

[severe mason]

I don’t mind arena feature in general. What would make it more enjoyable is it the game worked right. Some matches are lag free but most are being useless fighting lag more than the opposing team

[elfin root]

I know this ship has been out for a while and people have complained about it from day 1, but seriously, could you please do something about the Eviscerator?!

1. Incredibly slow to tier
2. Incredibly bad at farming volatile isomatter (forcing you to use different ships to farm volatile/apex)
3. Incredibly bad warp range for a ship that's supposed to get other ships out there. At ops 60 the ability is completely useless to me. Even with max warp research I can't get it anywhere useful

Solutions:

1. Increase refinery payout for parts
2. Give it the same loot boost for volatile isomatter so you can farm both at once
3. Improve the warp research. You can ops lock it and give it a nice boost at higher ops. At ops 60 it should be able to get to lvl 60 systems at least

Please and thank you!

[rigid quest]

This guy was really good. Not only a very powerful nsea but strategy and fast as hell. Def improvements to be made but overall I like arena and feel it could be worked on and made into something we all enjoy.

[finite mural]

Someone had to spend a pretty penny to get a nsea that high at 50

[rigid quest]

If he took advantage drop day like Buddy in my server not to bad. Now bundles get u a node for 100. Lol

[rare vale]

I 100% agree. I was in a team where my teammates were 56 and 59. We got paired against a team consisting of 62, 64, and 67. Really fair matchup that is. We didn't even bother to deploy our ships. I wish you could leave matchmaking when that stuff happens.

[ripe thicket]

My suggestion to make arena better.

1. make it a daily event. Win one match or play 2 matches.
   As it stands now, players have limited time to run as many as they can to get a weeks worth of pulls. If this were a daily, more players would have more time to participate in the event.

2. have an option for open to all so small alliances and solo players can participate.

3. change the repair times to 60 seconds.

4. make speciality support ships free to activate (cerriros/titan/mantis/etc) but only inside the main arena, not the station system.

5. if all ships are destroyed, allow multiple repairs or a free instance repair. This allows there to be fights going on.

6. concede match at 3 minutes+ if the enemy has 10x your points. Yes, you could pull it out, but it is better than waiting 7 more minutes for it to end. We have few matches end with 1000 points in 3v3.

7. make the armadas much harder. Make them like rhe zindi where you need speciality crews and a small ship can't solo.

8. if the other team is 2x your teams power, cut the points lose in half or negate it all together. I faces a team where each player has a more power than my entire team combined! There is no way to fight against them and they just used speed crews. Oir best pvp crews, with max fort vs them stung died....there is no fun ok those matches.

[modest mirage]

3v3 arena was rubbish, even when u got killed still showing your ship live and you were going for things that didnt count. Laaaag was far worse than ever. My alliance decision, give 3v3 arena a WIDE berth. 5v5 was better only just though, but another bad thought out idea with miss matching still happening. also repair 2 mins. repair should be instant or 30 sec max. and 1 team 70,65,65 player v our team 62 57 58, how is that fair?

[soft burrow]

My game keep crashing for no reason .

[fading estuary]

Why am I lvl 0 again?

[lapis patio]

Merge server 16 with another. We need fresh blood.

[orchid timber]

You should have merged 69 with 77...because 77 is just like 69, except that you get 8 more... 🤪🥁

[cosmic knoll]

Wheres the Sarris 30k FULL invasion exchange scopely?

[finite mural]

being investigated

[stiff juniper]

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag

[stoic venture]

#⭐-official-announcements message
Why are servers brought to a bye week if they dont merge??
@raw fiber
(see EU 114)

[fallen wasp]

Still continuing with this travesty of losing Server 69 into 72. Don't disagree with the merger... I disagree with the direction. #Keep69

[golden ether]

Not "nicee"

[errant brook]

Not fully true. RTS games Like SC2 use a MMR Ranking Systems and even in 3v3 it's usually close.

Smurfs aside. matchmaking now is garbage and needs to be addressed.

I never had to wait more than half a Minute for a Match. And I would ve waited another 30 secs with pleasure for a better matching.

Stats from stfc.wtc miss a player / region / time distribution to say something about activity.

Calling it a industry-wide-problem is a wildcard for those who cant (or wont) do better.

[drifting fulcrum]

Poor match making is done on purpose with the intention of getting people to spend more... If people are happy to be ripped off then that's their choice if not steer clear of PvP events. Best advice I can offer for now..

[torpid cargo]

Tell your 60 not to join and have a 53 take his place...your matchups will be better.

[pure plover]

That wouldn't make any difference at all

[haughty oxide]

3 vs3 worked well for our smaller alliance and allowed our high ops outliers the opportunity to participate unlike the previous arena. We either did really well or got creamed so maybe the ops levels/powers need to be further adjusted.

[torpid cargo]

And why is that?

[pure plover]

Because I was running them with the strongest on our team being ops 56, and was constantly facing ops 60+

[torpid cargo]

Right...same happen to us so we asked our 56 to create his own instead of joining one started by a 53....and we never saw another ops 60 the rest of the night. That highest power player is raising your ops average that is a factor in match making and opening you up to larger opponents. Try it next week.....

[pure plover]

Yeah it didn't work like that for us, some of our teams had no one with G5s, yet where facing g5 rares ships. Matchmaking was complete garbage this time around, far far worse than last time. When we had 3 people between 56-59 ops, matches just got worse and worse, not better. Heck there was a picture on here about players who werent 50 ops, fighting ops 60+

[finite mural]

There is no seated duration, once seated their abilities are indefinite. The 5 hours to 30 minutes is the cooldown for swapping

[rare vale]

Once you place a FC, they're there till you remove them. The 30 mins is the countdown to when you may remove them or swap them to another FC after initial seating.

[finite mural]

Nothing has changed but the cooldown, you are mistaken

[rare vale]

Well, I have all 5 FC slots, and 6 of the 7 FCs. It has always been the way I described. But I guess I apologize for trying to help another player given my apparently limited knowledge 🤣

[finite mural]

Again you're mistaken and you misinterpreted the tutorial. It has been explained here numerous times and I actually know what I'm talking about. Also don't bring server drama here.

[limber mesa]

you can just test it yourself.
check your ship's protected cargo, seat an FC that boosts protected cargo, check protected cargo again, wait 30 minutes, check protected cargo again.

[sand notch]

https://tenor.com/view/calm-down-david-cameron-talking-chill-speech-gif-17285169 @finite mural and MrV are correct with their advice and information

[lusty leaf]

Y'all leave goose alone. Let them wait for a "game maker"

[limber mesa]

the developers rarely, if ever, come here.
and you were talking about spock earlier, kirk's ability being "always on" has no effect on testing with spock.

but you can also test with any other stat you can check in your ship's info screen, including kirk's selectable warp or impulse speed abilities which works exactly the same as an on-duty ability once you've selected one.

[sand notch]

i'm not the game maker, neither do i work for scopely - however i have been playing since before the game was launched. 6 yrs 3 months. All I suggested was the information you had been given, is correct
If you want to contact the gamemaker..... #👽-how-to-contact-support email is the quickest option

[rare vale]

I have never seen someone so adverse to help, especially when the help was polite up until they themselves made it adversarial.

So let's make this clear.

1. multiple players are giving the same information, so maybe, just maybe, a concensus is correct. Besides the fact that the information we're stating was published during the introduction of FCs

2. You can test it despite kirk being always on. Kirk and Spocks protections run at the same time. If spocks suddenly stops working like you think, your protection will be smaller even with Kirk's ability still active. This is because protection + protection = more protection. If one protection were to go away, you'd have less protection.

3. The "game makers" aren't going to respond here, so you can either graciously accept help from your peers or just never get an answer (despite us all giving you the correct answer)

4. Nobody was/is bullying you. We offered help to a fellow player. You cast the 1st stone in insulting our intelligence and desire to help a fellow player. You are the one telling people to seek therapy despite being the only one here acting out.

In short, calm down and consider the fact that people here aren't out to spread misinformation. If you don't actually want help, don't ask for it.

[weary elm]

Not sure how an arena team of an OPS 43 and two OPS 42s get matched against a team with two OPS 52s? But it would be nice if power was more evenly matched

[hushed mason]

I really wish the mobile version of the web store didn't scroll all the way back to the top when I claim a gift. It's a bit of a hassle when you're claiming 8 things.

[finite mural]

Would be nice if they fixed that, it didn't before.

[void ibex]

“If you can’t be bothered to have all of the information before you speak, don’t speak, please.”

First and foremost, if only you would heed your own advice. You have been given clear answers on the “issue” you have incorrectly misidentified.

That said, @tidal notch could you do me a favour and confirm for DuckDuckGoose here that the timer they refer to for fleet commanders as the “seated duration” (which isn’t a thing in that context as an ejector seat, as you well know) is in fact a cooldown for swapping the fleet commanders?

While you’re there it may also be prudent to educate them on etiquette on this Discord as they seem to have strong form for being rather abusive towards fellow commanders.

[nova sierra]

I get that it's 2024 but the victim mentality is whats not helpful

[white glacier]

Man it must be fun to be in MEH with that guy.... /s

[plush trout]

I tried an arena fight. If the matchmaking was reasonable and lag didn't prevent me from attacking half the time it would be fun. If if if is the name of the game

[storm bear]

I am -1M with Romulan

[finite mural]

You weren't leaving feedback though, you were complaining about something that you were wrong about, people informed you of that and you copped an attitude with everyone, and starting slinging insults, and are continuing to sling insults. I suggest you calm yourself before you find yourself muted again.

[nova sierra]

Can't put my finger on it....but I think he's used to being muted....

[lavish dagger]

<@&509690795536941056> @tidal notch what happened to the Protector partial unlock. It was there when the ship launched now all you offer is the full unlock.

[waxen tinsel]

You're saying "part of following the rules is using channels for their intended purpose", and yet you somehow still expect that a Developer is going to respond in here to correct any misconceptions you may have about how a feature works. You can't have it both ways.

Perhaps emailing Customer Support (see #👽-how-to-contact-support ) would be a better avenue for getting a response directly from an employee.

[tepid bramble]

Riiiiiiiight. They will just do the CS version of “disconnecting” the line.

I mean seriously, if folks need even MOAR evidence that Scoply is both tone def/sadistic when it comes to us. I still cannot see why folks throw C notes at them.

The crap they sell has less value than Bazooka Joe gum (think Fruit Stipe for a proper value) and yet folks still reward them.

Well not this guy. I eat your bandwidth, tie up your assets, and not even a BP will you get from me again. Well done.👍

[burnt marsh]

Question on the notifications, why are helps showing up like armada warning ? That seems to be a bug

[woeful rapids]

<@&509690795536941056> the claim all button seems to be broken. Monday I definitely did all my q trials (5 total), yet when I logged in I did not have all the forbidden tech refinery tokens I would expect. I thought this was odd, then this morning I am missing swarm biotoxins. Again, I did ALL of the swarm daily goals, so there is no reason they would be missing except that the claim button is broken

[woeful rapids]

also, please fix the frigging exo comps. Sick of wasting rep exos because when I apply one, it for some reason applies to 3 slots total, and then when I try placing another exo comp in another slot, it wipes the original!!! How hard can it be to make that function???

[sand notch]

who made him a victim? i didn't

[warped glacier]

Why doesn't my ship glow like this. Like seriously this is just rude, devs

[sand notch]

all your troubles?

[cosmic knoll]

someone should rename themselves: GameMaker

you cant impersonate a real stfc game designer, that would require Prime Imposter, only 99.99 in store

[sand notch]

they are here. Players need to do what has been said.

where has the #faq gone ??? @surreal condor

[radiant arrow]

Um, has anyone noticed the latest season bp has 30 steps.....when last season had over 60......but price is the same ????????

Sorry, I ain't paying 75 for a season bp that has the same amount as a monthly one.

[woeful rapids]

well spotted, not even like they've increased the rewards either, cheeky

[elfin minnow]

What!? Scops would never show ok rewards and then slowly dilute them till they are useless crap in order to siphon all your money. (Sarcasm)

[valid ridge]

Instantly so much better than the last layout. Now if only they could fix some of the more pressing concerns this quickly...

Such as, you know, making the game feel actually playable for the 95% of the player base that suffers through endless technical issues that make their experience absolutely suck

[woeful rapids]

the claim all button is broken, do not use it.. resources just disappear into thin air despite being claimed

[valid ridge]

Too late. I already used it to clear my rom mining dailies (I did them overnight). I didn't keep track of the credits but the reputation definitely was not lost. I had a little over a 100 million points till the next level last night. But it dropped to 95 when I claimed the dailies, which amounted to 8 million points in total. The math lines up perfectly

[woeful rapids]

I can assure you things will end up being lost, the day before last I lost out on forbidden tech refinery credits, and yesterday I lost swarm biotoxins despite having completed and claimed all the dailies for these items

[valid ridge]

Weird that it lost those things for you but not the rep points for me.... Maybe the game sees rep points differently than the more physical rewards like the various different credits, biotoxins, etc?

[torpid cargo]

Soooo.....what your saying is.....lets head to the webstore and buy some packs?

[valid ridge]

Hmm... I used the button to claim the second alliance contributions daily task, and it gave me the 15 alliance credits with no problems... Perhaps the bug you're experiencing is only affecting certain people?

[woeful rapids]

no it's just happening randomly

[silver laurel]

<@&509690795536941056> FIX THE EXOS! It is ridiculous that the rep exos are still bugged and sometimes take up multiple slots. PLEASE fix this...just had one take up galaxy and both of my multipurpose slots...

[valid ridge]

Gotchya. Well, thanks for the warning. Hopefully that gets fixed ASAP too. Although my hopes aren't THAT high, considering who we're talking about here...

[tepid bramble]

😋

[raw fiber]

Encountered the same issue recently😵‍💫 for now, If the quick clear location didn’t resolve the issue, please submit a ticket to support so they can take a closer look on the case.

[gusty fractal]

Now Arena Combat is a permanent weekly event and there is a timer to remember it. what about other contents such as war room (2 runs per months and now only one) and alliance tournament (only one run per month?)? what about SMS and SLB events for war room and alliance tournament?

what about something different from PvE and mining events? I would like to play but it's boring to play right now.

[tight timber]

How about fixing the lag issues, the ridiculous prices you charge for components and things and the game is down right boring if you cant upgrade any thing. OMG. with this cost I would expect perfection on the server. just a big disappointment. Too many events at once this time.

[valid ridge]

There are a LARGE number of packs in the store that aren't even worth $50, let alone $100.

Maybe try making prices more reasonable for the everyday person instead of only the people who makes thousands and thousands in a month and maybe people would be more willing to spend every so often. Fixing the endless technical issues would further improve those odds too

[round sapphire]

Whyyy? Remove plz

[keen escarp]

None of the packs worth 50 or 100$. 100$ is the price of 2 AAA games with hundred of hours of content each and a way higher quality, real gameplay and graphics.
This is a point and click mobile game with no graphics and that doesn't require any skill to play. But as long as people are willing to pay, this is not gonna change.

[void ibex]

Would love to see where you get (current) AAA games for $50.

[keen escarp]

Steam mostly, Instant Gaming. But I'm pretty sure Epic Games store, GoG and others are the same.

[devout jacinth]

The new "claim" button in the daily tab is much better now, placement-wise. Thank you

[woeful rapids]

it's broken though, I'd suggest you avoid using it, you can lose rewards into the void

[devout jacinth]

Really? Guess I was lucky cuz no issue here

[waxen tinsel]

The Nintendo switch game vouchers, too.

[worthy hazel]

What is up with the lag I get a new fleet commander and now I have nothing but lag while collecting stuff in the refinery

[ancient depot]

Experiencing the same thing right now

[sleek solstice]

so much lag 130 as well its getting unplayable again

[obtuse aurora]

At least the lag is working well

[torpid kelp]

eu 139 fix this mega lag

[pastel herald]

SCOPELY, the WISH.com of server speeds

[limber oriole]

Lag is working extremely well today, maybe putting in a little OT this morning

[summer lodge]

C'mon Scopely i only allocated 55mins to collect my daily claims and I gotta go

[valid ridge]

Perfectly valid point

[exotic wave]

how many spend events is scopely going to try and force down our throats this month?

[acoustic depot]

so when arena dosnt make money scopley has to do special events that will drain poeples rss and mats befor officer spend event so people will spend more money gj scopley another bad dissioun

[muted shuttle]

You don’t have to take part.

[gilded escarp]

The greed is strong with $copely, didn’t you know?

[acoustic depot]

oh i want be lol the greed of scopley is getting to be way to much and the price to play events is to high now adays

[gritty turtle]

Aw, come on folks, they are just actual Star Trek fans. Ferengi Rule No. 10: "Greed is eternal". 🤷‍♂️

[kindred jay]

Any redeem codes

[rare vale]

I just pre-ordered the new dragon age. Sure I got the deluxe edition, but the standard is only $60. Anticipating 100+ hours of gaming for significantly less than one pack in this game, packs which get you nearly nothing.

[radiant arrow]

Because, truly, this is not a game.......it's the new face of the gambling/pokie industry. They have had psychology experts study us and use every trick in the book.

Bioware make games.
Scopely make money.

[kind rose]

Arena needs to not be about killing hostiles or armada... would love to see it more like capture the flag or capture the resource...

[fluid mist]

y'all must be broke to have 4 slb's that involve spending on packs to get in rankings for arena with that short a time period glad i ignore slbs

[swift steppe]

It's amazing to me that about the time they were talking up "quality of life" they were developing the voyager which grind is carefully designed to maximize time it takes, even before you have to restart time after time to populate the mining nodes 😖

[dusky sky]

So thanks to the misinformation that was released about the territory resets by the scopely team. Thanks to the lack of communication from scopely, our servers territory season is an utter mess. And yet I don't hear a word from you guys about compensating those of us who are probably not going to get the territories we were planting because literally nobody knew what was happening and so nobody claimed the things we were planning on claiming because we didn't know whether we were going to get reset or not, then we didn't know when the territory season was or what was going on. Could somebody please address this, because your actions have caused problems. And problems cause a lot of people to stop spending. If the game isn't Fun why would we give you money

[cold summit]

that's your own fault, sorry to say. even if there was a reset... did you really lose out on having territory for a few days? is your alliance so hard up on stocking up cores for alliance territory capture? don't play innocent on that. that same territory is either going to you unchallenged or you would have to win when it is challenged...that particular scenario wouldn't have changed... so stop playing victim

[vivid quarry]

L. A. Ggggggggggggggg!

[radiant arrow]

Any way (server 201) we can have our ships actually arrive?? This has been three days now......what a game it is.... sigh.

[dusky sky]

I hear you, and if it was my alliance only I would have to say you are absolutely right.

But it's not just my alliance it's all of us there are a bunch of people right now from the biggest alliances on our server to the smallest that are in utter chaos over this territory thing. I don't know how other servers do it, I'm relating the problems that it caused on this server and I know that it is caused similar problems on other servers from friends that play on those servers.

The point I am trying to make here is that misinformation was given out by a company with a pretty big history of mistakes. A company that also has a history of not owning those mistakes. That is something that deserves addressing and so I addressed it

[bold marlin]

Total lagfest on my lower account on 167. Not that Scopely give a hoot but I thought I’d pass it on.

[dawn flame]

server 700. ships getting stuck in warp. battle animations not playing and hostiles are continuing on their merry way until they get stuck at the edge of system

[gaunt pond]

General-feedback - the game is running trashier than usual

[worn marsh]

fix your game. chimera circles aren't showing and armadas are canceling becuase its not navigating to the circle when you start

[echo sable]

lag seems to be back on 95. long waits on refinery

[worn marsh]

cant open chests

[sour tundra]

Server21 is really lagged out. Can barely target ships and battles last for 30-45 seconds.

[shrewd ibex]

Server 102 is lagging out. Target a ship to attack and you have to reload the game for it to unfreeze

[chilly scaffold]

I keep getting stuck ships on 95 also battles not displaying, shield damage not always showing, hostiles still showing after being killed, nodes not resetting after leaving them and otherwise laggy experience requiring many app restarts

[cold yoke]

Severe lag on s40, yet again

[slender mesa]

Thursday mornings are catch up time for me... not doing a lot of catching up with all this lag.

[quaint ravine]

Server 15 lots of lag. Hostiles stopped moving at points and stuck fighting the same hostile for over a minute

[grizzled plover]

S101 isn't any better

[rich elm]

hooooly lag,... cant get see or target any hostiles after a couple minutes and restarted client multiple times

[silk gazelle]

S21 lag is bad. Game is unplayable. I think Scopely took the day off.

[ripe thicket]

The lag makes finishing the wave event impossible

[wheat pulsar]

Server 12 has massive lag, game is almost impossible to play

[swift steppe]

That incursions pairing format is TERRIBLE!!

[torpid cargo]

Server 20 here....reporting LAG as well

[tight agate]

wave defense start then switch to different map then come back so hostiles show on screen target 1 then click attack by time you are out of combat from first attack Wave 1 finished

[placid rain]

Really bad lag on 108. What's going on? My ships been in battle for... way too long 😂

[vivid quarry]

Invest in some servers from the 2000 instead of 5he 1980s the lag is pathetic

[stuck jay]

Hard to read or even find your server

[lusty elk]

Go buy some more efficient servers!😤

Launch chimera, ship is stuck, armada cancelled because ship isn't in the armada area...
Lost directives, lost possible SLB rank up...
Thank yoooooouuuu scoco....😤

[woven flare]

I love the fact that announcements are made for events an hr and a half BEFORE it's to go live. Thanks for that! Already done my dailies 😤

[tame sphinx]

The server is lagging me to death right now..

[severe grotto]

Is there by any chance a maintenance on EU servers that we are not aware of ? There is an awful lag at the moment that reminds me what happened just before the incursion events were introduced
I mean, chests take forever to open, joining an armada as well, etc... multiple armadas showing at the same time, killed hostiles that don't disappear. Any chance we get an explanation on these ?

[valid willow]

They won’t give an explanation or fix anything, unless it means you can’t buy from the store

[fluid mist]

it was that way on the u.s. servers between 4am-11am today i chalk it up to if the game isn't lagging they shut it down for maintenance

[rich bobcat]

Unplayable, so much laaaag

[subtle rivet]

Great Treasury

[elder hornet]

Anyone posted that the arena prep event is not scoring?

[acoustic depot]

so why did the treasury get pulled again scopley? did to many people buy it for 20 bucks again

[midnight pilot]

Well just as it got pulled game crashed and now refusing to log in.. Did someone just unplug the servers. Maybe they got repossessed?

[valid willow]

See look at the latest announcement, they only fix things when it affects their money

[woven flare]

So much for treasury. All those hostiles killed to get my treasury score up for it to be pulled.

Comp chest of a free treasury on its way?

[acoustic geyser]

I've had to restart the game before and after every armada this morning, superrrrrrrrrrrrrr (americans like this word right?) annoying to say the least, any suggestions on how to fiix? Do I gotta do the localisation reset or something?

[woeful nymph]

@tidal notch My ops 58 account on iOS sees the treasury fine. My alliance mate who is ops 56 and plays on PC cannot. I hope that is helpful. Same geographical region

[tidal notch]

Yup! I'm not seeing it in my game either. We're working on it.

[dim mulch]

US server 44 is having lag issues.

[brisk agate]

I wish i saw Gas in the treasury

[exotic wave]

@tidal notch well this treasury amendment has screwed me, need 4 days to get the desealing rods via 30 day chest. This change has resulted in auto completion and the 3 day countdown to claim. Now I can't get the treasury chest as planned

[vocal reef]

@tidal notch So much for the update ... I have not had the treasury event all day.

[dire rose]

How does this help anyone ? just gives everyone less time "we are adjusting the event for all players so that they will only need to kill one Hostile finish that progression.

This will only complete the progress through the Event and does not include any Desealing Rods." just give everyone 4k of free rods and stop being so tight! its only some pixels.

[patent sluice]

with all the lag and dusappearing treasury should at least give 500 desealing rods

[tidal notch]

Did you complete it just now?

[tidal notch]

Raising this.

[exotic wave]

thanks - ideally extend the default countdown from 3 days to 5 days would sort me

[sacred garden]

This my issue all the time with reporting any issues in the game to the so called tech support. None of my questions are issues get answered or resolved. Always a stupid bot run around or the tech is to illiterate to understand English or able to read English so I always get the run around bs general answers and automated reply’s. I asked a simple question of why I keep losing iso emit when I am only refining the iso and not spending any of the refined iso yet I keep losing 20k-60k of the refined iso when I’m not even using refined iso. I sure as heck ain’t spending it on meridian since it’s been maxed for almost 2-3 yrs now. Haven’t spent any on tech for over a month, yet I’m losing refined ISO every day by 20k-60k !!! How the heck is that possible when I’m not spending any refined iso?

[hollow glade]

Not only they are useless, I reported a jerk and a bot just "warned me". Not the harasser. Me.

[cerulean juniper]

That’s because they can’t comment on non-going investigations

[waxen tinsel]

Are you talking about iso-emulsion (gold colored stuff), which you spend on research, or refined iso1/iso2/iso3 (more silver colored)?

When you refine raw isogen, it produces both, and the iso-emulsion goes into your personal inventory while refined isogen goes to your alliance’s inventory. The numbers you see for refined iso are the total alliance pool and not your personal amount. That currency is spent to join takeovers & activate territory services.

If your iso-emulsion is randomly disappearing you should contact CS; but a 20-60k drop in the alliance’s refined iso total would be totally normal if you guys joined a TO today.

(You can use the support email in #👽-how-to-contact-support to avoid the bot)

[lime socket]

Are you pulling this refinery?

[sacred garden]

Why does it not show the other currencies needed for fc officers? It shows the unc but not the rare and epic fc credits? Thats kinda dumb

[sacred garden]

I like the fact we can upgrade the holodeck, but I feel it’s kind of a waisted thing since you get no new missions for any of the factions. I only have in there now 1 borg and 1 rogue alll the other factions and missions don’t show. I like doing the missions far more then I do doing any of the PvP or as I call that bit wallet versus wallet, credit card vs credit card for that is what that PvP 💩actually is.

[warped glacier]

Is the interceptor hostile event broken? My D3 isn't getting points

[vale wasp]

Are you killing hostiles or letting chasers die on your hull?

[leaden junco]

@raw fiber @tidal notch I just completed the research box listed below for Omega Resesrch Resources and went to check on Prime Efficient Ship Engineering for the dilthium cost since I'll be unlocking it soon. To my surprise. It JUMPED from 41.1 billion to 42 billion. The 42 billion is shown below but I'm 100% positive the cost was 41.1 billion before because we were in our alliance chat talking about it when I completed the research. This Omega path seems to be INCREASING costs and not decreasing them. Can we look into this and perhaps other efficiencies as well to make sure they are registering properly? Also, can anyone in this chat experiment with it to further validate this? Completing the Omega Resorce Research node and get a before and after screenshot?

Has anyone checked on this ? (ss again for reference)

[bold marlin]

Auto grind in Yarda borked again. Stops after 30 mins.

[slender monolith]

Did someone shoot the bounty hunter or is the system all just autogrinders? I wonder if it’s like the voyager summon when it says it failed, because the server went into sleep mode due to no actual activity.

[kind rose]

Am I missing something... I think the treasury this time is trash... ship parts can easily be grinded...

[frail onyx]

Second of the month is always trash. It also has no officer shards.
Might be interesting if someone needs desperately trit and go this as a free pull. Spending on it would be futile there are way better packs for ship parts.
This trash scam was introduced by scopely just as additional money grab , not for benefit of players (free descaling rod sourcing wasn’t changed either)

[errant brook]

Battle reports bugged aswell

[kind star]

Right, it’s a joke. I hope, no one is that stupid and spend money or Rods for that BS

[dusk nebula]

why is it that I have to collect tokens, to excahnge them for another token, just to get another token. Why not make the first token useful in getting the resources rather than going around the token houses. does my bloody head in.

[mild hemlock]

@kind rose @kind star there are now two treasuries per month, one with officers and one without. The one without is always ship based, and in this case this month it’s for Battleships.

[kind star]

I can see that for myself. Nevertheless, it is a cheek and shows the greed and avarice of scopely. 660 rare parts is simply a laughing stock! That's not even enough for a module on t5.

[dusk nebula]

Not worth 99.99 quid I say

[rough sandal]

want to talk frustrating? how about i'm level 27 and still getting 2* parts in my treasury (its at level 26)? i don't even use 2* ships and haven't for at least 3 ops levels now

[kind star]

Im 63 and still have 3* in the treasury. 🤷‍♂️ ..only common parts. Useless. If I ever need them, for what ever, I can lat them. Scopeless at its best.

[sinful walrus]

I reported an issue with exocomps. When I tried to replicate it at their request while recording the screen it worked properly. They "compensated" me with 3 days of choice reward tokens which pays out 2* and 3* mats 😂

[gentle fog]

Im a fed sided only player, all i got in my treasury box was only ship parts, lat, ore and crystal. Not a single Gas. Im wondering if there is an algorythm which lets you guys know which players lacks which rss and you stop providing him/her based on this algorythm. I've waited 6 months for my treasury to open and now it doesn't even include any officer shards. I mean wth????????????

[frail onyx]

Wait for the 1st treasury of the month it will have better resources and officer shards. Don’t go for the 2nd which was recently introduced as purchase scam by greedy scopely. So give it another 2-3 weeks (maximum) and you will be better off.

[limber mesa]

not so easy for G4+.
starting with G4, you grind for broken ship parts and need to refine them.
especially rare ship parts can be a slow trickle, where a ship parts treasury can give a month's worth of specialty ship refinery claims, or almost a year's worth of broken parts refines.

especially rare G4 ship parts can be hard to get, since you can level past almost every source of them.

[fleet agate]

anyone else got a problem with not counting enemies in eventWhispers of fall? even tho i am using battleship

[finite mural]

are you auto farming?

[cloud helm]

If you are auto-grinding it doesn't work unless the attacking hostile is a battleship

[fleet agate]

i am not, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt

[valid willow]

@tidal notch the lag on EU servers is horrendous stability over the last 2 days is in the toilet. Do not expect anyone to spend on a game that does not work. Fix the lag fix the crashes, then fix the store, you have the priorities wrong. You do not even address these issues, if you can’t fix them just be honest, but when you ignore them you frustrate your players. Seeing how fast you will fix an issue with the store only proves that scopely do not care about a players experience and are only concerned when it hits the spend.

[haughty sail]

Lag on eu is insane now, ships not updating status, hostiles showing after being killed, miners not starting, what a mess and we have a merger and incursion coming ....

[woven flare]

Lag on 131 is bad too. Been 2 mins since I clicked to open 3 chests.

Here's some feedback....shorten the pvp range...my biggest ship is 41 million currently at ops 45....I'm currently g4....there is no reason a 15 billion ops 67 borg cube should be able to hit me outside of territory. We aren't In the same bracket, nor grade, no anything that would determine this should be happening.

[surreal otter]

Lol they don't care. Most of their money comes from bullies with big credit cards.

[fleet crow]

Hate to say it but i dont see any evidence of otherwise, I agree with you wholeheartedly and I wish it wasn't so.

[torpid cargo]

Ohhhh...where can I grind rare ship parts? I need them

[finite mural]

you don't grind rare ship parts

[vale gale]

Thats the neat part. You cant.

[kind rose]

I just spend lat on ship parts usually

[torpid cargo]

for "common" ship parts you can use lat. You can not use it for Uncommon ones or rare one. Thats where they get ya....

[kind rose]

......I have spent lat on plenty of ship parts.... maybe I am not high enough at ops 41 and my tired 4* ships...

[lusty leaf]

Don't declare war on alliances with big ships 😂

[waxen tinsel]

At ops 41, you don't have a g4 faction ship to tier yet...Voyager, ISS Jelly, Amalgam, and others do start needing uncommon & rare ship parts that you can't use latinum to replace, but you might not have run into it yet.
It will quickly be more noticeable with your 42 UC and 46 Rare faction ships. Lat can only be used for the common ones, and rare gets really painful

[kind rose]

Might make me stop playing hahahahahjaja the grind is unreal

[carmine yew]

at ops 42 I was able to do anything with my G3 Enterprise, that bad boy can do anything with Moral

[hollow plover]

there is some slight lag (105), refine something...wait 15s for results

[upbeat ravine]

There's a terrible lag on server EU106, even worse than last night. Trying a Q trial in unclaimed territory system, and even with the ship in it the game still won't allow me to view it.

[upbeat ravine]

Lag seems to have resolved (for) now on 106.

[glacial spruce]

Scopely is proud to announce that they are aware of the lag and will he issuing a fix shortly....

Going forward, lag will only occur on days that end in a "Y".

@tidal notch Please remove this lock i have tier 11 cerritos, T6 voyager, t7 iss jelly. Why should i spend resources building and upgrading ships i will never use.

[haughty sail]

Same for g5 with warp range limits for the unc, rare and epics. Ops60 can reach further systems in mirror so dominate this slb

[tight timber]

The long con... getting hooked on a pay to win game which never offers enough for sale to complete the whole job.. Stella, common uranium, uncommon uranium, Rare Uranium NOW Epic Uranium for the last five levels..

sounds stupid, but you need to shrink your window.

I'm having the same issue on a Z fold 6, only way to get the game to recognize my screen is not postage stamp sized is to play with multi-window.
only half the screen space, but it at least allows decent zooming out.

Yes I'm back to the double tap. Must of been some kind of spatial distortion that I experienced. 😅

[slender monolith]

I’ve had it occasionally do single taps since it broke, not often mind.

[true ferry]

I feel it's wrong to have a merger an infinite incursion together,what's wrong with you Scopely

[waxen tinsel]

Back in April they at least gave us 4 days from merge until incursion start, not as little as 2 😅

[brazen patrol]

you only have to double tap?
I have to triple tap very often

[gusty fractal]

...and another Arc is ending, Arena is a weekly event, this week is "Incursion week" and many players can plan a week-end shield, tomorrow or on Wednesday War Room will start and some players must plan who to ask for help to complete it....and there is not a date in which I can hope to read complains about Alliance Tournament.

They can’t do that. There isn’t room in the calendar to add more takeovers.

[kind rose]

Who said anything about adding more.

Run em simultaneously... tbh I'd love to see territory based on power... your alliance is too powerful to control this space hahhahaha

[native adder]

Clearly you’ve never been in a Territory battle. The servers can’t cope with one at a time let alone two or more 🤣

Besides, the whole point is that the number of systems is limited to try to encourage alliances to fight for them.

[kind rose]

We take a territory and sit with neighbors for points... besides our big 3 alliances no one really fights each other

[warm dirge]

arena matchmaking is again a joke. matching 3 56 players with 3 60+? but i guess it's all irrelevant, because pop times must be low. why not copying mistakes from other mmos, after all?

[kind rose]

Level 56s should be matched with up to 59...

[cosmic knoll]

the whole system is doa, they should not be rewarded with participation until they fix it, they've been told how.

[warm dirge]

whales won't pay money to be matched up against other whales

[cosmic knoll]

their cash cow is buying repairs ... but they forget that whales who pay will win, and free 2 play who are repairing dont pay ... so the cash cow is there waiting on a non-paying player to pay ... which wont happen, they went full ret on this one.

they cant even get their own money making ideas together.

[haughty sail]

matching is again busted, team of late g5s matched against g6 and that 3 times in a row the same team already. So the method is AFK it at this point unless matched against a team that you can actually beat. It's the worlds slowest game of rock paper scissor

[cosmic knoll]

which is why they reduced team numbers to 3/5 but kept the 10minute match and 1k point win condition ... which should of been reduced by 3/5 too: 6 minutes and 600 points....

but they knew their change would force 50% of games into afk ... and didnt want players winning/losing so quickly

long ..... boring .... afk ....

[haughty sail]

well it's ideal to run off to the side while working, slowly gather the mats for the week of refinery at this point

https://tenor.com/view/gaming-lag-the-lag-gif-26319203

[sick prism]

1 hour of actively doing Arena:

Won 2, lost 5

The lost ones i don’t mind at all, but i do mind the whole “lockdown” when it’s going to be a loss anyways for one side, due to one team guaranteed oblitirating the other one cuz of the PvP edge they’re having over the other team.

So in the above example, it’s ~20minutes of actively participating in the game (the ‘wins’), whilst the other ~40minutes (the ‘losses’) you’re basically forced to just disengage from the game/particpating because all you can do is just passively wait & sit it out…

Sitting & Waiting for any side is not a fun game <@&509690795536941056> . It’s boring. Very boring.
Add to that, the Arena has a high ‘forced’ repetitiveness angle, due to goals to chase like the next rankings for example in order to unlock anything in the Arena shop. So guaranteed móre boring waiting & sitting it out…

[devout dragon]

PvP arena is still by far the poorest mechanic in the game, poor rewards, hard to get teams together, poor balance of power and absolute dominance of PvP primes. Why would anyone try.

[torpid cargo]

The poorest mechanice....really. Did you lose a match? Starbase assaults are by far the worse.

[waxen tinsel]

Fair point. Counterpoint -> there aren't any exclusive favors/officers/items that require us to engage in starbase assaults to unlock

[void ibex]

Counterpoint - all those exclusives are entirely optional and not (yet?) ships and PvE officers that become effectively fundamental to a specific area of game progression.

Everything else you skip has a penalty of some description - Borg (credits, events), Swarm (useless refinery), Eclipse (good researches and TPs), Solo armadas (mats and PvE officers).

[unborn halo]

@raw fiber y'all still have it backwards. 72 would like to merge into 69. Killing off 69 would be a great disservice to the star trek universe.

[timber root]

85 people in our alliance, 26 online at the moment, one team in arena, zero waiting for a team. That's how engaging you've managed to make it. I'm preparing a bullet point list of feedback <@&509690795536941056> , but something's gotta change if Arenas are to be more than another failed system.

[cerulean cove]

Might want to make it a power point

[lost cedar]

<@&509690795536941056> might be a bit off topic but why ops 53 and ops 70 in same bracket for chimera damage slb i understand spend or grind slbs we can make efforts to get better score but in a slb where max damage done in one round is all that counts theres no way a g5 unc can do more damage than g6s .....and i am not sure this can be changed but will be great if it does

[analog sparrow]

Looks like Arena is officially dead now. Nobody in our alliance wants to play it anymore.

[waxen tinsel]

Completely fair that what's in there doesn't necessarily block progression. My only point was only that Starbase assaults may be the worst, but there's nothing tied to them to even create FOMO 😂

[vivid terrace]

Agreed but the big difference is no one wanted to do Assaults as there was no tangible benefits so their failure is immaterial. People actually want to do Arenas, but there are barriers to that like timing and issues with matchmaking (which may or not be resolved over time) so their failure in my opinion will be worse than the failure of Assaults

[lilac oar]

Game not geared to be competative for F2P or moderate spenders. IF your a whale and spend a ton you win.

[nocturne badge]

<@&509690795536941056> Are you aware that the Trailblazer Territory Capture ended before all the territories are captured? Like Eldur and Abilakk?

[night lance]

Be good if on each arena game you don't lose the first 30 seconds as the game says for me it's in planning but everyone else is already at it. Then in the system I select some hostile or player for my ship to sit still.. brilliant as always scopely 🤣🤣

[restive geyser]

You had 7 days and couldn't get it together. top performance

[leaden junco]

Well, that was the question I was going to ask @tidal notch , so we now know, as you said, 7 days they could have used.to fix literally the biggest issue in their newest feature, weren't utilized. Sad. Was looking forward to it

[restive geyser]

Only crashes in the game for months, why should you solve the problem? Maybe a stability exocomb will come soon. 99 euros and then you can play the game stable for 1 week. 😄

[tropic crown]

Any plans on fixing the ships getting stuck in warp? Heck fix any of 1001 bugs in this game?

[exotic tangle]

The matching for the arena makes it unfun when a level with ships much much higher comes in they own the bord and there’s nothing you can do

[tropic crown]

Assault is worse they wasted time developing it just to have no one even want to do it. They could have just fixed bugs. Assault is the biggest DOA feature to date.

[gentle shale]

@tidal notch @raw fiber … Will the Incursions prep events be run Tuesday/Wednesday ahead of event starting 10/31?

[somber orchid]

I think no prep events a comp chest will be sent out before

They said no prep, comp chest on your day. Now if they actually posted what our day was.

[winter laurel]

[frozen hearth]

Match making should be easy just make the biggest ship in each team equal level and you are 90% of the way there 🤷‍♂️

[modest mirage]

well that arena event was a waste of time not to say a waste of my 2 x token miners being recalled (1 of the many daft bits about arena) lag, lag and guess what more lag, then u get killed as per lag and 2 min wait ( yet another pointless flaw in this failed Arena attempt).

[candid halo]

My team 42,44,44. Their team 46,50,53. Does Scopely understand this is a waste of time ?

[frozen hearth]

Then we have the 'free repairs' 😂😂😂 that you can only speed up by buying tokens

[vivid terrace]

That’s my point no one wanted to do them anyway so no one is bothered they failed. Everyone wants to do or at least try arenas so their more disappointment at their failure. When you fail to deliver someone no one wants it gas no impact, but when you fail on someone every wants the damage to Scopely and the game is significant

[grim sparrow]

Repairs will be free they said 🤣 Failed to mention the whole 2 minute sinbin or wallet required to compete part ahaha.

Idk how but please Remove hostile limit for arenas, as a lower lvl all I can do in arenas is permanently kill hostiles with speed crews to stay alive, so you quite easily reach the loot limit after which I can no longer do arenas which sucks a little bit for such a limited time event

[finite raft]

<@&509690795536941056> General Feedback. People, such as myself, like to take the day off for incursions because it's one of the few fun things to do in the game; 3 days notice is not enough time for many, if any, to take the day off. Also, on Halloween.... that's insane. Hit me up with a PO Box addy and I'll gladly send you guys with a calendar with all the holidays printed on it.

[tidal notch]

Agreed. We need to get the Incursions ananoucnements out and the days servers run much sooner...

[sand flume]

Arena plain out SUCKS!!! Complete and total mismatching of power. Do away with the arena there are no real rewards that make it worth while.

[real sage]

Sooooo has anyone notied that yet another "feature" is broken. With the matchmaking the way it is you have no chance. How hard is it not to match severs with a max level of 50 with servers who have ascended. Yet another fail.

[tawny walrus]

It's like you took bad matchmaking from last week and said, "Hold my beer."

[weak grove]

The missmatching just ruins a nice feature. it's really unbelievable

[tawny walrus]

Good job Scopely. Seriously. This is fantastic matching.

[trail zenith]

Your inability to give good matchmaking and design (when it's run, how many arenas can be ran, points system, etc) to the most fun thing you've provided to the game for PvP hungry players continues to erode faith in the future viability of this project.

[random oak]

You shouldn't be matched against levels outside your own bracket. It's insanity

[cloud nest]

Its easy to matchmake battle one thing what op lvl start u get both the same not just give any lvls u like and can't go by team power cos I no lots of high powered 55 and low powered 59

[rare temple]

With these overly uneven matchups, Arenas has essentially just become a coin-toss and less of a challenge based on collective skill. My alliance has already ran several and decided to quit for now because this is simply a Rank-wrecking campaign and not a fair, instanced PvP arena as we all had hoped.

[near tapir]

GettingZERO directives during arena

[finite mural]

There’s no way I killed 2k hostiles today or yesterday. Been very busy and no auto grinding

[median wolf]

There should be some kind of sms event to go alongside the arena window that pays out an amount of all the stuff you need for the terran store (credits/rep), because as it stands right now on week 3 the only tangible reward I'm actually seeing is earning enough currency for a weeks worth of chest pulls, which in the week itself only gets me somewhere between 1/5th and 1/6th of the one, solitary favor I am currently targeting.

[sacred garden]

Still very very unfair match making there is no way to compete with this strong of players and you want to call this 💩fair well it’s not. 1 ) ships are to strong, (2) tech is to strong, heck at their lvl they have things lower lvls can’t even get. Quit this bullying practice scopley it makes the game suck. I like challenges but not to be massacred .

[pale drift]

Hey Scopley. when you post 2 events that counter each other you make it to where NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY! who in their right logical mind would post a mining event, then pop the arena where when you go into the arena it Instantly Recalls ALL your ships. very stupid. Move it to another day.

[lavish dagger]

<@&509690795536941056> I think its time rewards for CoW, Faction Hunt and Mega Cube were reviewed. They haven't been updated in a long time and are grossly out of date

[leaden junco]

@tidal notch , real talk....the community is SCREAMING about these ridiculously unfair matchups. Are they even looking at fixing this mechanic?

[last tide]

Not just can people at lower levels not get some of those things, but depending on the server, they cant even spend to get to that level.

[sterile plume]

Who in that office though mining Monday was a smart day to run this even? Hey go out and mine but here's arena for a few hrs and it's gonna recall all your ships. If yall want us to keep spending money please use your heads over there.

[oak ibex]

You leave my cow rewards alone

[rare temple]

All of these issues have been present for 3 arenas now? All of these complaints are exactly the same as after the first run of Arenas. Why haven't they been addressed? Simply dropping the squad size from 5 to 3 doesn't fix matchmaking nor does it solve the issue of running this event during Latinum Rush. I think the player base is paying you enough money to make these adjustments right? What am I missing?

[tranquil tusk]

Arenas could cure cancer and with the current matchmaking, I still wouldn’t be interested.

[tidal notch]

Passed on!

[tidal notch]

Yeah. I've been passing this on.

[leaden junco]

Ok. Thanks. I think we all agree this can be a terrific feature, but the matchmaking is really holding back the potential.

[tidal notch]

Copy that!

[weak grove]

i would sign this. the idea is really good, but there are some matches where you can read from the loading screen that it is already lost. and that's a pity. because it's finally a somehow non-forced pvp feature which does not disturb any pve-player's gameplay. if you wanna do arena, you do it, if not, fine =)
and no one can use it as an excuse to bully smaller players

[lyric ibex]

I think adding another block of arena time Tuesday morning till noon would be helpful for people like myself that work nights and most of the current time I can’t participate a lot due to work.

[sand flume]

When it comes to the Arena......The best way to win the game is to not play.

Seriously....the only Scopely will change it, is if we all stop participating in it.

The matching is definitely not right. Weighing it according to ranking doesn’t do anything. 3v3 is awful. Three 70s vs Three 60s is crazy. Size needs to be taken into more of an account. And the loss of points when you lose is ridiculous. No one wants to do these anymore

[icy patio]

hrm, wonder who's gonna win

another nail biter

[formal bear]

What the heck?! This isnt supposed to be possible!!!

[carmine rose]

Need to fix the arena match making scopleee !!!

[icy patio]

Can we put some rare/epic mining nodes in the start system so after you bend us over on bracketing and we're forced to sit in our starting systems for the entire time, we can do something productive?

[vocal reef]

What is this? Is this a new puzzle to solve prior to claiming rewards?

[carmine rose]

Make stfc great again 🙌

[cinder barn]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[forest egret]

Poor maybe matchups most of the night! This wasn’t even the worst one.

[vital pawn]

Feed the whales

[warm gulch]

that was worster

[clever ginkgo]

that is the worcestershirest

[gritty oxide]

this company is the worst... fix the lag issues and do away with the terrible content... perhaps bring back worms. dopely is the worst

[viscid harbor]

@tidal notch Several servers are listed on two different days for incursions, e.g 704, 705, 706, 707 can you please get that fixed so it shows which is the correct actual day?

[keen dome]

Arenas sućk

[livid pasture]

Just please also pass on that whatever issues exist, weekly arenas are infinitely better than no arenas. And they are so much fun, at least when it’s not a terrible matchup.

[steel dragon]

But they need a longer time bloc. I am lucky to get into 2 or 3 at most because of my work schedule.

[warm gulch]

they need a better matchup... a fair matchup isnt that what we have... we have freeshots for whales against low level... max lv 50 vs 62 is a joke i cant laught over it.

[brazen ravine]

I have given up on arena events. The pairings are not even. The last two weeks I’m in with at least one 60 plus. I am level 53. It is not even close. Can’t compete. Won’t play anymore.

[fervent maple]

Is there any possible to change terretory fights? for example its only spamming mass low ships with instant repairs instead of real fights, only the big mass counts you can even loose every fight but still win if you got more player online spamming those small instant repair ships. Also the server starts extremely lagging on big fights which is also an issue. So my suggestion is to do it like arena battles? Every alliance who take part in an takeover looses the instant repair mechanic. Every ship has a 1 min repair timer without the possibility to speed it up ? It is damn boring at the moment <@&509690795536941056> @native hazel

[pale garnet]

so , now , when there's to much for scopely to deal with , events wise, whats their solution, just omit it all, not caring that peeps where used to their being too much, since scopely didn't care, so now, get it added

[vivid quarry]

Love the new game design. Kill a hostile. Login again to be able to attack. Kill a hostile. Login again t9 move. 🤮🤮🤮

[gusty fractal]

This is the result of simple community's request: "Scopely, can you add more PvE buffs to kill more powerful hostiles, faster than now and to survive longer in auto-grind?".

Everyone was happy when Subspace Relay was reworked: more shield and more hull points to kill faster but also strongest ships, over powered ships with researches, buildings, forbidden techs and artifacts.
PvP is unbalanced because there are too many PvE buffs that affect the ship: "increase this stat against hostiles" is good but "increase SHP/HHP" is not.

P.S.
The crew: mitigation is great if you have other PvP abilities that are working. I know it's just to have a screenshot but somewhere someone is crying.

[civic haven]

41/54 merger was smooth. Appreciate that there were no bugs or bad lag

[stiff kindle]

What 👆 he said about how smooth it went.

But i would sarcastically like to say thx for not giving peeps from both servers any respect or consideration to how it would affect them in regards to all of the SLB events you had running.

Most peeps from both servers have now fallen below rewardable target levels and now lose out again.

Where before the merger a lot of peeps were at a respectable rewardable tier.

I wonder if Scopely had pay each player a RL $100 each time they screwed something up - if they would make less errors and actually take all of their customers into consideration.

You really need to do better Scopely.

[timber root]

<@&509690795536941056> A lot (if not all) of this has been said but I've collected on the feedback of my entire alliance about arenas and here's what we have to say :

• Scheduling is still an issue as it conflicts with Rules of Acquisition. Put it another day in the week.
• Exit/End of match screen stays way too long, 10 secs is largely enough especially since it doesn't give any useful info.
• Matchmaking still sucks so players give up, leading to fewer squads, leading to longer wait times. In the end whales will play arenas by themselves if everyone else is disgusted.
• Speaking of 3 members per squad, 5v5 was way more fun than 3v3, a lot more hectic and action, more diversion/escape/evade possibilities too
• Rewards are disappointing and not worth the time investment, especially if you're not in the upper ranks. If stuff needs to be locked behind upper ranks then it should be avatars. Specifically efficiency favors should be faction rep tied, not arena rank tied.
• Speaking of time investment, a Surrender/Give up button is urgently needed. Right now if a match is obviously one sided (like there have been so many examples given) we've just lost 15 minutes of game time doing nothing but watching the other team farm hostiles and armadas, which is not fun or engaging.

Also, on the subject of scheduling, this month has been especially awful with territory reset and incursions :

• Notification that they were happening and when they were happening has been very short (a day or two). For us it's a game but for you it's a business, and such short notice is bad business practice that leaves your customers (us) disgruntled.
• Scheduling of the incursions during an extended weekend where a lot of people are busy with social life and family should be a no go. For instance as a result 90% of my alliance won't be participating (including myself as I have family over).

[lilac oar]

The total lack of interest in F2P players or light spenders is palpable in all your actions Scopley. So many have made the decision to leave the game its unbelievable you still have as many players as you do. Thousands have fled your inconsistent and general lack of a common sense approach to making the game more enjoyable. You allow people to spew hate and rhetoric with little more than a 24 hour chat ban, You continue to promise things like Quality over quantity and then fall flat on your face with things like GQ, you fail to fix issues in the game that have been going on for years, and yet you expect us the daily players who actually like engaging with our teams to pay for this lack of attention. STFC has stopped being something many enjoy playing. I am now only here because of the team I started and the friends I've made. I do my best to keep them engaged and having fun, but when faced with several P2P alliances many aspects of the game fall well short of the hype. It's well past time to listen to the folks talking to you. We F2P players and teams that have been here for years deserve better than what you offer now. If you don't take this to heart you will be losing many more players around the world.

[orchid timber]

Need more time with event store!

[clever peak]

Can we get an event store extension please?

[leaden junco]

@tidal notch are they going to put the U.S.S Terror refit in store for Halloween? I mean, the marketing there writes itself.

[cursive gale]

Didn't we use to have a week to spend event store loot after arc ends? or at least multiple days, not 1

[frank yarrow]

What you're calling out is, in fact, the point of the merge. They want to make SLB harder to win so that there's more people spending per prize given out. There's no screw up there. It's what they're trying to do.

We saw this with G6. They wouldn't split G6 to their own bracket because it wouldn't be competitive enough.

[coarse sundial]

do we get free tickets or buy only?

[potent star]

You got Scopelyed

[finite mural]

buy only

[frigid swift]

It's probably a good time to do Rev's survey

[coarse sundial]

cat says nuts to buy event and g3 rewards rely event needs updating like megercube so outdated events for g5-g6 players

[wild tiger]

Last night & this morning there were all kinds of game connection issues. I finally get a moment to get back in at work to find that the event store is closed. 165K down the drain? We have people that took hours to get back into the game after being bumped right as an arena event started. I joined events that I could not participate in even after two reboots

[coarse sundial]

dang every time i log in i get time out message

[exotic tangle]

So we have an event that’s entirely paywalled and one that pays out 3* mats…

[sand notch]

6yrs + playing. it's a pvp game however raiding is obselete and pointless at various levels. Scopely run incursions with mediocre rewards. it feels like a box ticking exercise
unfairly matched, sometimes not getting crossover tokens.
SAVVY are pumping so much into Scopely........ the economy boosts and game pace are amazing along with stability -- . however we cant bust the par-wall yet events are focussed on par 😦
Please update the raid mechanic.. another prime or loop wont resolve this.
Please make raiding fun again......

[clever peak]

yay thanks for bringing back the store

[torpid kelp]

<@&509690795536941056> the good *6 stuff is probably no longer available? who doesn't know that level 60+ players need the good old *3 stuff. honestly, what are they smoking when something like this is planned?

[timber root]

Is some kind of student doing an internship running the events this month ? That's the only explanation I can think of for the amateur job the person in charge of scheduling the events and setting their rewards has been doing ...

[tidal notch]

Its been addressed.

[sand notch]

Why are all new things driving us away from our instance? This is only going to reduce participation from pointless new initaives and kill the instances.
i bet the meta's will show this. [ no one listens to the cat]

[autumn marsh]

Why did the "replacement event" not give the proper type of rewards? It has Tritanium and Crystal instead of Parsteel and Ore

[tidal notch]

Proper type of rewards...

[sand notch]

i'd like gas......maybe a mixture rather than just one type of mats? they'd sell more if this happened with the interim treasury..... or offer the option. they're charging premium prices, but we dont get the option. oldman told me choices cost money haha.
things cost crazy money yet, we have no choice -- both f2p and spenders

[autumn marsh]

See the difference now? You gave us an event that gives Tritanium and Crystal instead of Parsteel and Ore.

[sand notch]

and? explain ...... wait until tomorrow?

[autumn marsh]

And I'm missing out on some needed 4* ore rewards that should have been in this event. Why is this so difficult to understand? What does waiting until tomorrow have to do with his situation?

[pure obsidian]

Perhaps it WILL be addressed. At the moment we still have 3 * materials....

[wise notch]

the crystal event gives g3-g5, the ore event only g3. very much looks like a bug
compensation chest hopefully incomming

[sand notch]

mixture..... choice scopely

[finite mural]

There is a comp chest, for 40+

[autumn marsh]

Yeah, but the comp chest is going to be event currency. No mention of giving us the 4* ore we missed out on because of their mistake.

[wise notch]

I am in need for rare g5 ore... for station and ships...

[sand notch]

have you seen the care pack? @autumn marsh it might amaze you...... or not. we are yet to know......... give the poor sods a chance

[autumn marsh]

Have you read the Official Announcement?? They only mention sending out event store currency in the comp chest and running the extra event.

[leaden umbra]

Event stores don't work, you click on any tab and it goes to the PAY store

[steel dragon]

And perhaps not doing it on mining Monday would be good

[somber orchid]

Monday is a quiet day

[grave quest]

fix the lag!! restarting every 2 minutes!!

[fluid raven]

I need to get a player transferred to server 12 from server 701. How do I get this done?

[zenith mirage]

paid for holiday events has to be ''one of'' the worst things I've seen in any game I've played...

[gilded escarp]

depends on the ops level, if they are higher than ops 12 they will not move them regardless of spending level

[flat swift]

scopley u r dumb if u think to say there r "treats" and then tell me to pay for them

[timber root]

<@&509690795536941056> It's good that the War room's back, but again with the super late announcement ...

[drowsy goblet]

Yeah that's just....here ALL your miners will be in danger in just a few hours, including token space for most servers, and you can't mine overnight during bonus refinery....this is just embarrassing, and then to make it sound like you're doing us a favor with the less than 24 hour notice is somewhat hysterical guys...just, c'mon y'all, you're capable of better

[native adder]

…and super weird start time.

[light apex]

Jeesh ..incursion day in the middle of warroom week?
So scopely wants pvp inside the server and then for one day server working together?
Can you please start thinking about logical serverwide events ?

[muted shuttle]

You must be new, if you think they are capable of better😂😂😂

[drowsy goblet]

I'm not, but thanks for assuming XD, have a nice day 😉

[timber root]

Oh yeah, didn't even notice that ... Honestly it feels like they're going out of their way to annoy us (I'd use way stronger wording but the moderation on here is way stricter than ingame ...)

[tidal notch]

Yeah.. sorry about that. Will try and get it out sooner next run.

[tidal notch]

We could get the announcement out sooner.

[muted shuttle]

There are plenty of things that could done to improve things. You only have read the feedback channels.

[tidal notch]

Sure. And we're working on improving things. But speaking from a comms perspective, we are capable of doing better and next time we will.

[muted shuttle]

I do honestly believe you guys are trying, but this year has been a shocker, with an obvious drive to push the pay to win part of the game.

[kind rose]

Did Scopely have layoffs??

[tidal notch]

Yeah.... past few months have been rough. October I think was better though. I think we need to keep adjusting matchmaking in arena and it could be one of the best features we've added in a while.

[shy oriole]

they did state a few months ago that monthly war room will be the incursions week. But at least until now to my knowledge they still did no give any server by server dates and hours of incursion... and now with war room supposed to start in the middle of the european night we have to be prepared for the worst incursion timing... announced last minute probablt also... If they want to disgust stfc players from pvp this is the way...

[ripe thicket]

I have a few players that are attacking my borg armadas with less than 10 seconds left (speeding)

[kind rose]

Armadas need to be instances imo....

[finite mural]

Blow em up

[boreal ferry]

we wound up making quick starting someone else’s armada against roe on our server, it is a hilarious way to troll tho

[ripe thicket]

I am on the most toxic server with cheaters and abusers. Protected by scopley.

[gusty fractal]

16 years ago, more or less, I wrote the same, more or less, message in another game -it was a great MMO game- and Co.Ma. muted me for a week. I risked being banned (temporary ban) even in-game, saved only because someone helped me...so, be careful when you write "Publisher protects cheaters"

[ripe thicket]

I have evidence and proof and it was ruled on.

[lilac oar]

Scopley, I have been a player for three years. This is not even funny anymore. It's time to fix the game or lose even more players. Enough is enough

[carmine yew]

an excuse to purge your server before incursions. You don't want these inactive and poor shield discipline players to feed the enemy server do u 😉

[keen pumice]

@tidal notch No access to the first one...

[tidal notch]

Should be fixed!

[muted shuttle]

Yes it was, this arc has been pretty good, the arenas I think were a win, I believe you guys changed to 3v3 to quickly. The arena is kinda pay to win with brute force with regard to primes, but monetisation of the repair chits just added a larger emphasis on pay to win. I got no idea how the match up Algorithm works, but it seems to be getting worse not better.

[keen pumice]

Thanks 🙏🥰

[tropic crown]

Ships getting stuck in warp is getting old

[carmine yew]

My OCD gone wild, Arena Feedback is not in the Feedback section 🤯

[reef perch]

Seriously, I don't know what you were thinking, but reopneing the Store and giving this extra loot package, with no early warning, is a complete mockery to all players. What are we supopsed to do with this now? I've spent 178K tokens on stuf I really didn't want now, just to avoid losing it and a couple hours after the Store was closed, you just send a gift and reopen it? with no early warning? Players could have waited and added it to spend on what they really wanted but now they are provided with some crums and you expect that we are 'happy' because we have this gift? Incredible 👎🏼 👎🏼 👎🏼 👎🏼

[rich elm]

Oh great, you guys managed to break clicking on buttons again.

[kindred pollen]

Thanks for the compensation chest, useless after spend yesterday all the rest because not reach enough to some needed prize. 🥺

[tidal notch]

Good point. Will adjust tomorrow.

[boreal ferry]

mine 1* outside of territory and that player won’t be able to hit you, someone else might tho since you’re opc

[weary elm]

Lag on PC version is making the game unplayable. Repairing took 2 hours and didn't fix anything.

[drifting comet]

<@&509690795536941056> Not a SINGLE event for Ops 10-19. Absolutely pathetic. Disgusting.

[mellow sequoia]

So level up!

[frozen hearth]

They have ruined war room it was a ok event but now it's just another boring mining event 👎

[void ibex]

You can be hit by them because you’re in territory, and PvP range in territory is “15+”, elsewhere the graphic below applies. They hit you because you’re OPC, something you can address with better research or crewing. In addition, you’re in breach of the name and shame rules in #🌠-rules-and-roles12 which I’m sure is inadvertent, but when posting battle logs you should be anonymising them.

Hope that helps explain a little.

[ripe thicket]

Check your shields. A know a lot of our servers had shields drop early (and one alliance was capitalizing on it almost as soon as it happened).

[lost cedar]

Theres no lvl cap for hitting ships in tc a 63 can hit u and u can hit a lvl 2 aswell ... Pvp lvl restrictions still applies to station so they can't raid you atleast 🙂

[limpid stirrup]

Please move the home button, it can be above or closer to the captains chair button. Where it is, is a real problem for waves and other fast thinking progress, arena or PvP.

When choosing a ship I still have to back click because the officers spaces are all blank and sometimes this means it crashes also

[tropic crown]

<@&509690795536941056> I am so tired of rebooting this game for one bug after another every 5 minutes. Ships are getting stuck in warp all the time now. Here all three of my ships are stuck in warp. Stop all the broken buggy new content and actually fix the game.

[shadow elbow]

<@&509690795536941056> are the store rewards supposed to be the same for Klingon and Federation at Leader reputation? My rep was not that far apart. There is a similar difference in my daily faction spend event rewards.

[fluid mist]

does anyone else have the field traing tab saying you have stuff done (numbers over it) when in fact you have nothing to claim???

[sacred stream]

Yes it must be a visual bug because it's saying I have 256 rewards to claim

[tropic crown]

Yup got to love the year of quality!

[empty maple]

Do not get the Syndicate daily experience pull in the store. Not worth the money when 70% of your pulls are 10k Syndicate experience..

[kindred sphinx]

Hey, I was happy to see the war room open during the run up to incursions. Encouraging base raiding in preparation for Incursions is a good thing. Finished our alliances war room on 1 base raid. Excellent timing actually, IMO.

[pastel herald]

delays, lag comes and goes way too often in this game.... glitches seems to be a feature, the platform has turned horrible over time, turning into a cash grab for more and more features to generate whale-revenue, so much so that they have injected non- star trek content

[charred berry]

Lots of lag when doing refinery today

[forest forge]

laaaag

[dusty remnant]

Lag and refinery claims aren't going to inventory... Button goes away, but redemptions aren't happening...

[pastel herald]

not sure if new owners decided at some point to say, " well they like this, lets add more and more.. but this can have too much content, which can lead to burnout or a feeling of being overwhelmed. This can significantly change the gameplay and narrative of a game. This can complicate the idea of a video game as a distinct work, rather then play. Too many options can make players feel overwhelmed and decrease satisfaction. I get you guys need to incorporate fresh game loops and memorable side quests, rather than repetitive missions. But you never Remove anything... packing more and more in... taking old content and adding a " collect all " buttons does not help. Adding slide bars to some and adding way more clicks to others. Turned the game from a planned event to a " what did they add or change this week " routine - now you even making mining Monday useless with forced recall on miners with arena. a lot of people have had about enough.

[echo sable]

refinery is lagging horribly. as is gift section. again.

[jade patio]

42 is lagging bad on refinery, factions…. anything with stuff to collect.
