It really would be nice to have a FPS selector on the iPad version of the game so the game isn't running at 30 FPS. Most newer mobile devices are capable of 60, 90, or 120.

[carmine marten]

Thanks for the daily free claim and accompanying meta for event store currency. I’m not the biggest fan of the random element determining how much you get, as low rolls tend of be highly weighted, so it’s a big dose of disappointment to see that all/most days. But I acknowledge it’s still extra currency which is appreciated. (In other words, would be nicer to just get a solidly decent - and static - amount every day. Instead of expecting low amounts with hope of a big pull to offset. A big pull that may never come)

[graceful lotus]

Reduce or remove the requirement of maxing out the ACC to advance Ops since yall want ppl to go higher quickly. At the very least reduce the core requirements

[keen loom]

Still no IOS updates. Apple finally say no to the bad code?

[leaden junco]

@tidal notch just wanted to make sure you saw this comment from last night. Please pass along to overlords.

[harsh valve]

Question: iPad can't find an update.
Android phone has update.
Is that supposed to happen?
(Is there an IOS update? Is it Phone only?)

[finite mural]

ios update is still pending

[livid stone]

Wouldn’t it be neat if scopely sent their apps in for approval days in advance with a scheduled launch after testing?

[hexed helm]

The new chest pull animation is a big step backwards. Impossible to tell what I got when there's more than 1-2 chests.

[finite mural]

Set the disable frequent game animations to off, to see your pulls again.

[harsh valve]

Maybe an Announcement telling people this might be a good idea?

[shut horizon]

@tidal notch serious question, with this iOS delay if we want to advance our GS31 and claim are we losing out on the updated ship parts refinery?

[cedar elk]

where did the elite frontier pass in the store go? there were alsom some frontier currency token bundles, too

[tidal notch]

I dunno about losing out. You should still have access to the improved ship parts in the GS-31 refinery.

[tardy sky]

New chest opening system is terrible, half the time nothing even pops up, and when it does if there's more than a few things they get clipped. I want to see what I got, not just guess. Plus things like rss, ship parts and speedups all use the same icon so you don't know what's what. Useless update, roll it back. Not happy Jan.

[silk charm]

you can set the disable frequent game animations to of to see your pulls again.

[tardy sky]

Yeah then it turns all the other crap we wanted to skip back on, there's no selection for which animations to turn on and off. Absolutely stupid implementation

[wild hearth]

Way to make the UI even worse than it was Scopely. Gotta admit, it takes talent to be this bad.

[final plinth]

this has to be like 3rd Retreiving news update in 10 minutes...

[tardy sky]

Pretty sure between the new ship and these "improvements" this whole arc is a month long April fools...

[final plinth]

fly-out animations are a great idea however:

• Packs that are on cooldown should exit the pack
• The visualization needs to be improved (length of visibility, rarities etc.
• best used in the faction store - but only for direct claim bundles...
  This feature needs a good overhaul to be what it should be

Also the instant-repair button for latinum should be replaced with a 1-click smart-speed-up repair

[haughty temple]

Bull

[signal adder]

I keep taking the time to queue up 11 hostiles, then my kir'shara breaks again and my ship just sits there doing nothing.. Can we just get an auto fill button or something that fills our queue with random hostiles in the system?

[manic python]

yesterday before the whole thing vanished it costs 30k. do anyone else noticed that the costs raised? i didn’t tier up my revenent

[signal adder]

yeah I think we have the same one, but mine's still 30k

[manic python]

did you install the update?

[obtuse jungle]

To participate in our events, you HAVE to buy things in the store. Its crucial. 👍 👍 👍

[fast anvil]

for stuff that are free everyday claims can you put it into the gift section? just a one click claim all and all the free claim would bad done for the day. would be good to see

[sterile stream]

How much can you screw up an improvement?
Scopely: "Yes!"
🤦🏻

Appeared 5 times after new claim Animation, that isn't any better or faster... Closing this window will bring you back to mainscreen. So it takes now longer then before to grab all stuff. Thanks, Scopely. Thank you so much...NOT!!!

[hollow plover]

the new claim animation does not reduce the amount of interaction.
before:

• enter item with 1 click
• select chest with 1 click
• confirm screen on center bottom with 1 click

now:

• enter item with 1 click
• select chest with 1 click
• leave item top left with 1 click

[obtuse jungle]

Not only that.
Most cases you do not really see what you get. Is it x1 x3 x5 ?
E.g. with officers.
Before you have seen after pulling how much you got and what you have.
Now you have to go back and look it up because you dont see it while grabbing.
Its not helping to reduce, it made it worse.

[frail echo]

I wasn't sure how you could make the actual amount of clicks and experience worse when collecting chests, but well done you have managed it - either revert it back to how it used to be or implement something that actually improves the process please

[hollow plover]

yes, a trade-off of almost none speed up of the collection marathon vs less information 🤯

[errant brook]

<@&509690795536941056> What did I just get from my pull?

If you provide "some" information please make it clear that the information can be interpreted within the 2 Seconds display time.
Or just leave a "processed" info instead.

[fast anvil]

you pulled varieties of ore😂

[errant brook]

This one is even better - who checks that stuff before release?

[prisma kayak]

@raw fiber @tidal notch how I see what I get. I want to choose my own screen this new feature is not good. So tell me what do I get if you see 📸 everything is green.🙈

[finite mural]

Set the disable frequent game animations to off, to see your pulls again.

(for now, the issue has been raised)

[hollow plover]

easy to decipher within a split second 😂 - you've got 23x blue g4, 14x blue g5, 122x green g5, 228x green g4, 560x grey g5, 558x grey g4

[twilit slate]

I don't mind this new "feature", I just don't want to have to click back every single time - auto close (or return) is urgently needed.

[prisma kayak]

I want to now what kind of stuff I get rare epic unc

[waxen patio]

Can we please get some form of barrier for g4 again? The amount of players going into g4 unprepared and losing interest in the game is insane.

[sinful walrus]

"Quality of life" updates should improve quality, not reduce it.
The update that now means chest contents fly onto the screen then disappear makes it difficult to see what was in the chest (left), and frequently even this animation does not fire so there is no display of the contents (right). When this happens, it is the same as before the update, where buttons are greyed out and the user has to wait out the lag until the contents appear.
Instead of a button at the bottom near claim button(s), the user must go to the top corner to click the back button. This is not an improvement, it requires the same number of clicks but adds the uncertainty whether anything happened.
The "solution" of quickly clicking the back button after claiming does often, but not always, show the chest contents, but it also resets the scroll to the beginning so the user must then scroll to the next claim - sometimes several screen-widths.
Chests with fixed contents could autoclose after claiming and displaying the animation, but should have a view option to be able to review the contents.
Chests with 'Chance' draws should remain on the screen until closed, as before the update.

[ebon slate]

I like that there are less clicks when collecting chests now, but it's hard to see what I'm getting as it flies off the screen too quickly and it's very difficult to distinguish between the grades of material (video attached). Maybe highlight the difference between the grades a bit more (and possibly add a toggle for this most recent change). For fixed rewards like some of the faction store purchases, the new feature is definitely an improvement as you know exactly what you're getting when you click to buy it anyway so there's no uncertainty.

[dusky sage]

The Voyager G4 warp part stays in the refinery long after Tier 4, how many people have more than 1 Voyager?
The Feesha is a ship of which at some point in time you are very likely to have 2 of, since D'vor BPs are part of the loyalty package, and having the D'vor leads to having a Feesha, but there is no way to get a 2nd Warp interlock, so you can't actually level up a 2nd Feesha. it's not in the refinery as suggested by the pop-up. can we fix that? Voyager refinery shows that it's possible

[grand bison]

@raw fiber Hello! Why would you take out the research particles in the Pinnacle of Power daily event from OPS 64 to OPS 65? Do you want us to CAMP! at Ops 64, until we have enough for the reseach? I thougt, camping is a very anti scoply thing...you don't want players to do, but than force us to do it? Fix it please.

[brazen prism]

you keep clicking a hundred trillion times even with the new setup.. no improvement at all. Good way to get mouse arm 🥴

[south idol]

I've got a hugely important question. Why are some players getting priority deals in the offers tab which allows for seriously cheap upgrades, when most others don't? This feels as though there is a massive imbalance allowing some to grow far more quickly.

[fleet moss]

This is a very good question indeed Scopely. And why does your support basically tell players to "suck it up" when asking this question directly to support?

[dire rose]

<@&509691611903426561> @raw fiber Please force a clear local after updates, this will ensure any conflicting cashed data is removed before the player logs in!!

[icy hatch]

<@&509691611903426561> <@&509690795536941056>
Sorry, not sure who to ping about this.

When will Amazon Fire users get updates?
I have checked for updates even though they usually appear after a few days and gives me no choice but to update.
I know it usually takes a few days for my Fire tablet to get updates, but It's been over a week for the new arc. And I've been told the more recent update from yesterday makes claiming certain things go faster. I would really appreciate it if the updates would hurry up.

[keen loom]

I’m wondering exactly what it’s going to take for Scopley to acknowledge the junk they spew out in terms of code, more so, for Scopley to acknowledge the disregard for the player base, AND for serious and immediate improvements.

[lunar ocean]

I had to just turn off the animations feature completely because you added it to way to many things. Do you people even play this game?

[tawny walrus]

I had the frequent animations disabled - which was helpful. But with the latest changes to the claims, I had to reenable it. There was no way to identify what I got in the claim. Plus, it doesn't always fire, so I'm left wondering whether I collected or not. I'm still obligated to hit the back arrow, so I haven't saved any steps. I'd recommend rolling back that change.

[keen loom]

But it was just fixed according to Scopley.

[tawny walrus]

I guess I have to ask... what did they "fix"?

[hollow ridge]

I did a round of armada chest claims, all three G6, two G5, one G4 and two G3. I'm playing on my mac pro laptop. I have no idea what just happened, nor what came out of the chests. The set of icons being displayed is too wide for my screen, and is bleeding out offscreen to the left/right. Plesae revert chance based chest claims to the old system, or if there are going to be more than 4-5 items received for guaranteed.

[keen loom]

Truthfully - it amazes me patch after patch is broken, decreases quality of life, yet nothing changes. Where is the accountability for the game developers. In any other job, consistent and epic failure like this would result in job loss. Edit: continued compensation for coding blunders does not eliminate the problem. Stabilize your product.

[coarse prism]

Janeway's Pocket Watch is way to strong again on a base with all ships its complety removes the iso dmg itt applys to all ships on the docks so itt complety removes itt no matter how much iso dmg you have thats not okay iff itt only applys on 1 ship then thats okay not all ships in the dock its again to OP base Defence

[hollow ridge]

I applaud them for trying to reduce the massive 'click' problem that is all of the refineries, factions, etc, and overall I think they are making progress. However I think they had a good idea that works well for known quantity or low variety of item claims that simply does not scale to larger or chance claims.

IMHO scopely should create a 'syndicate' tab in gifts, and then moved all free claims to syndicate/building/ship/chest.

[true beacon]

As usual your quality of life updates make things worse. Give me back the old collection method where I have time to see what I’m getting then claim it.

[old plover]

I feel we have been sold a dud with the new ship and officers, they are meant to be good for solo elite waves with the apex shred skills but the actual problem is the iso damage and defence of the hostiles. Even at 64 I'm struggling to kill the level 55 syndicate reavers due to their iso mitigation. I've seen a level 69 player eith exceptional research iso damage/defence and they were still mitigating almost all of it.

[errant brook]

First month is pain, next month Scopely will praise the cure for just 99 bucks (per pack).
Design for entry levels is bad, for high OPS even worse but you can lower the pain by sinking money.

[old plover]

Even people who have sunk alot of money are struggling with it. The ship that is specifically designed for these wave types can't cope with them 😅

[lilac ferry]

Is it intended that the bundles no longer auto close so i actually have to click out of every claim hence adding a hundred more clicks to my dailies

[craggy pier]

we're wasting even more time than before 💩 🤬

[kindred lotus]

I think it's time for Scopely to hire a team of professional UX researchers that can help with this, including conducting actual A/B tests.

[candid musk]

This research autoscroll enhancement is great (https://startrekfleetcommand.com/news/mid-month-patch-notes-section-31-part-2/#:~:text=Enhanced Research Tree Navigation) Except for when you have a prime in column 1 that you haven't paid to unlock 🤣 💰 🤦‍♂️

[wooden spire]

The problem never was having to press a button at the bottom, which scopely have now changed to clicking a back button instead.

It’s the lag and constant Star Trek splash screen with ‘preparing, activating’… which shows with every single button press. Sort out the poor coding or server lag or both, whatever causes the slowness.

That’s the real issue and cure.

[nova sierra]

New animation is beyond stupid

[fast anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> could you ask the devs for a research that increases defiant warp range? at low tier the warp range isnt usable in deep space without a rift and it takes like a year and a half just to max it out. also please emphasize the fact that in the event they do create the research, don't lock it behind a prime. thank you

[olive nacelle]

<@&509690795536941056>

Why have Mirror systems 68 Terix & 70 Romulus loot drops been nerfed since update. Specially the g6 speed ups?

I used to get between 5-9 15 hour g6 speed ups per run.

Now I am getting 1 (if I am lucky) every 4 or 5 runs.

Same ship and crew as before???

[proud scarab]

What huge BS is that after this update 😡. Cannot see what I won since clicking „Objects“ does NOT show what is in it but zooms away immediately 😡😡😡.

[sly nova]

Disable in the main screen player avatar menu, under general.. scroll down.. works as before.

[oak hawk]

Here is my report ... At ops 46 ... The GS is NOT worth it. . .. I see the potential, yet it's too locked down.

It basically can help me get 2 elite waves instead of 1, yet that's a waist of directives.

This is one of the major issues Scopley has ... How do you make stuff that is worth it at first and worth it for 3+ generations? Too much control and lockdown. 😓

[warm field]

Why do I have to sign into the webstore twice? <@&509690795536941056>

[compact blade]

I just came to make sure people were already complaining about the animation when claiming refinery, chests, and faction store stuff. Add this to the massive pile of annoyed players

[lilac ferry]

@tidal notch as UltimatDJz would say ‘FIX IT!’, please 😂

[carmine marten]

Newest animation speed ups might need some iterations. But for the faction single pull stuff that you can just click from main store page, huge time savings and experience improvement. So I applaud that.

[tropic crown]

<@&509690795536941056> hate the new animations for getting shards and opening chests. I like it better when I can actually see what I got.

[tidal notch]

Good point. Will raise.

[tidal notch]

Team is looking into seeing what they can do.

[dreamy drum]

@tidal notch Customer support is closing off our tickets without compensation for the Revenant refinery issuing incorrect payouts yesterday. What gives?

[mossy acorn]

Thanks for the super fun game

And I've enjoyed the enhancements to increase QOL for gamers. But I definitely want to see what I just earned from loot chests and refinery pulls and so forth. So I've turned off the setting that speeds thru animations. Which is a bummer that it's all or nothing

Thanks for hearing us that our daily pulls take a long time. But I definitely want to see and take a beat to see what I just got.

Thanks again

[tidal notch]

Yup! Hearing this from some other players. The team is working on a fix, but its not coming immediately. I also like the sped up animations, but knowing what they are is pretty important

[halcyon pawn]

What the he.ll is with the refinery updates, now I don't know if I've been shafted it's all in a blink of an eye

[tidal notch]

#💬-general-feedback message

[modern compass]

I **LOVE **the update that means I don't have to click a confirm button every single damn time I collect a chest. I don't need to see every single thing I get, removing that unnecessary click is great.

Well done Scopely! Good update!

[analog bolt]

So I have a couple of issues with the new update. Unlike Mr. Brovery, I would like to see what I am getting especially on rolls where the quantity is not static. The 2nd issue I have is that each new feature being added requires me to add these buffs through purchase. As a result, at a level 67, with a tier 9, tier 15, and tier 8 class 6 ships, I cannot complete the solo wave events. In some cases, if I forget to turn on a consumable buff I die in the first round.

There MUST be a way to allow people to access FT, Artifacts and other buffs without buying 8 packs to get 1 item in useable shape.

You have me to the point that I am just not going to continue my spend. This is getting totally obscene where 1 or 2 packs cannot update your ship, you need 15 just to get a tier up.

It would be interesting to see how smaller our server gets and at what point do we just merge.

[analog bolt]

Thanks for the heads up. I did not see the on/off switch in settings. That should help for the time being.

[clever whale]

I have a ton of mixed feelings about the new fast animations. Some I love, others are impossible to tell what I just got, other fast animations like the officer recruit chest opening screen are great to be gone. Can we have individual toggles for each fast animations?

[tidal basin]

I for one will not be spending more on this game than I already am. Having to buy these Whisper things just means that I can't buy a Grabthar's Hammer or maybe an Ex-Borg Credit pack.

[pure shore]

anyone know who much u actually get from the Prime Start Bundle daily pull? would be nice if they would actually tell ya before purchase

[true zealot]

worth it for the borg polys alone, stay for the speedups ...swoon over the formada starts

[junior sierra]

Like the new claims. Would be good if mats had colored outlines? Some are basically impossible to check,. Example: mada pulls and loot chests. Some of the pulls we are trained to scrutinize ( silent, madas, recruits etc ). This makes that basically not an option, Generally good move in the right direction, thanks. refinements would be appreciated….

[robust knoll]

Did Hammy reply? Mine was just closed with
The team advised that the issue only affected commanders who are with the Maxed Borg Type 03 Exchange. I verified your account details, including the level of your SS Revenant and its research, and I am glad to find out that you were not affected by the same issue.
I’m pretty sure I was affected (T14). Any news on this?

[dreamy river]

Hey scopely could we have speedups for the refinery and faction store. ?

[cinder shadow]

<@&509690795536941056> regarding the new update, is it possible to show in the screen the total amount of each item u getting when u opening the chest? even if thats just a couple of seconds in the screen, it is interesting that the player check what he is getting from the chest he opened

[fast anvil]

<@&509690795536941056>

1. could you get estimated date when the research help bug will be fixed? thank you

2. considering how long the players have been affected by this bug, 30 april reward chips(it gives 720 lat in total and a negligible amount of mats speedups and resources), 1 loyalty badge and 1 1-day peaceshield is just not gonna cut. if it was fixed within a day or 2 i would have let it slide but its a few hours from being 5 days for me. the bare minimum they can do is give those affected is the daily reward for doing reseaerch(for me at 54 it is 5 1-day speed ups) as well as the limited time research and building upgrade sms,

thanks in advance

[dreamy drum]

Yes he did. They confirmed that it affected T14 Revenants. I was told to open a second ticket. Still waiting to hear back from CS, but hoping I'm given the missing parts.

[dreamy hazel]

<@&509690795536941056> I have asked once before. May I please have the admin role to post in the find-your-alliance channel. I'm the current admiral for RISE alliance on 703. I will post a request every day if that what it takes to get that permission.

[sly holly]

THIS!!!!!!!

[hollow plover]

for the majority of occurrences this change does not reduce the amount of clicks:
instead of confirming (click) your results, you now have to click to return to the previous screen

it is slightly faster while

• amount of clicks is the same
• sacrificing information (e.g. try to decipher with animation a 100x pve loot chest: each enemy loot is on its own, no grouping of items)
• increasing moving distance ("buy+confirm, both close to each other on the bottom" vs "buy+return on top-left-corner")

[rich furnace]

Can we please get another sourcing (or buff to existing ones) of Chaos Tech Reactors? I have nearly 200k Chaomatter, but can't spend them as I have no reactors at all

[south idol]

Scopely, why have you told me some players get special deals in the offers tab, whilst others don't (even though they are at the same level). Is this not discriminatory? It's definitely not a level playing field if I have to pay £99 and others £10... I'm sure your silence will be deafening!

[fast anvil]

u forgot to include "dont lock it behind a prime" 🤣

[rich furnace]

They'll do that, even if we specifically ask them not to 🤣

[violet elm]

Hello 👋🏻 I don’t know what in heavens name happened but can we please have epic g5+ gas and ore back? It’s gone. Gone from the choice rewards. Gone from the monthly pack. Gone from the events. When I’m PAYING for a pack or the Battlepass I expect the mats to be there. Where else am I supposed to get them if not from payed packs? But now it ain’t even there anymore. So you want players to buy packs, but then take away important mats? Which might be a good reason not to buy them anymore?

[finite mural]

It was never there

[violet elm]

Mandela Effect says otherwise 🖖🏻

[civic haven]

Can we have a toggle option for claiming gifts? I appreciate the recent update saves me a click, but I’d rather see what I claimed. I’m sure others may prefer to save the click.

[opaque slate]

Same clicks, right. You still have to back out of the page you’re on. And if you receive more than 5 items, on some devices you can’t see anything else.
For example after grinding Texas ships you see 5 of those claims, not combined like before, and no other items you claim. Full 50 claim shows a few of the same item and nothing else.

[bronze axle]

I appreciate the attempt to speed up all the refines and chest opens. The animations is a little difficult to tell what I actually got.

[opaque slate]

Looks like turning off “disable frequent game animations” works…what else does that do other than item claims?

[opaque slate]

But all the other extra animations come back when you turn off the Disable feature.

[empty maple]

Game keeps costing me solo directives..I can do 1 or maybe 2 and then it freezes and kicks me out of the game...

[umbral ocean]

not a fan of not seeing what I get in chests anymore...

[latent timber]

Please add tiebreakers to every SLB or share the price for the 1st place. This is getting ridiculous (Chaos Tech Tier Up SLB)

[fast anvil]

for the speed up function, can we just get a toggle for every single thing that is included inside the list of things that get sped up? for instance if we dont want to speed up mats chest and armada chest we just toggle it off and it doesnt happen anymore, i think that solves the problem and they dont necessarily have to remove it

[opaque slate]

I was fine with the way it was before. Didn’t seem to be a problem to solve. I think there are very few claims that you know exactly what you’ll get and don’t want to see the result. Most of those are simple “claim” like getting building parts from a faction store.
Most everything affected by this change is for multi-item random claims and you really can’t read the smell numbers. For example, I really need epic 5* gas for E-D weapons and want to see how much I get every time it appears.

[junior sierra]

I take back the 1/2 nice things I said yesterday about new claims. Nightmare this am, of backouts, some restarts. “bundles outdated”screen falling from the sky. Funny IA wasn’t updated.

[fast anvil]

i really like everything about it but right now i need to see what i get from the armada chests and i dont want to just keep disabling and enabling it just because im oepning armada chests so suggesting toggling is one way for them to fix these kinds of issues

[modern compass]

Well that's just demonstrably false.

Every single faction store daily collection that previously required a click on the confirmation screen, and which did not require clicking a View button, now has exactly half the clicks it previously had.

There's certainly room for some obvious improvements here, but there is - with a few exceptions - nothing actionable from knowing the results of most pulls. For example, seeing that I pulled 12 epic G5 ore has exactly zero impact on my daily gameplay.

[half dome]

Totally agree. However the SLBs are ranked, it’s not first to the post and unfair that you can be first but get bumped down due to some hidden sort algorithm.

[charred parrot]

I have a friend that was actually tempted by this offer but can't find where to claim the rewards. Would it just be in gifts? Or somewhere less intuitive like the holodeck since it mentions missions?

[finite mural]

If they eligible, logging in would make it show. The email went out to some folks that weren't supposed to get it, so it doesn't do anything.

[lilac ferry]

Pack prices and value increases with purchase history, the more you buy the more expensive the packs, but the value per £/$ increases too. Basically they want everyone who n £100 packs and the little packs are to encourage people who have never spent on game.

[south idol]

Not true though, as I know that some players get better offers than others, and these are all ops 60 plus.

[leaden junco]

@tidal notch @raw fiber in glad the devs finally got it and have set up the new solo defense event appropriately. Better late than never. Well done.

[woeful nymph]

@tidal notch I'm disappointed we don't have an Easter Hailing frequency of a Tiny Hammy hatching out of an easter egg. 😉

[tidal notch]

https://tenor.com/view/please-i-need-this-angela-zatima-this-is-essential-for-me-bet-networks-gif-16439843113306903338

[south idol]

@lilac ferry No, I don't have those deals available. It is called 'priority' and is at the top of the offers tab. Scopely came back to me with...
Some players need to progress in the game! WTF? So some get special deals at low cost whilst others it is tough luck!

[prime socket]

Had to turn all the useless animations back on just to see what I’m getting from chests. 🤮

[tidal notch]

Yeah. The team is working on a fix to that, but I don't have a timeline for when it will be rolled out.

[sand bear]

Give me a MKII, MKII, MKIV system for the Defiant... Pretty please! Love that ships and need a way to use it as part of my active fleet!

[rose spear]

What we really need is @tidal notch riding a space quesadilla.

[vivid knoll]

The cooldown for private ciphers needs to be reduced. Currently it is 3 days and any time an event is added, a gift of private ciphers is given. In the future, when there are no gifts it will be painfully long between cipher pulls. With a max of 400 it would make sense to lower the cooldown to 2 days, if not 1 day similar to normal and mirror ciphers, which have a max of 1000 (10) instead of 400 (4).

[tidal notch]

Love this!

[tidal notch]

Omg! I could really go for a quesadilla! Also, we should bring back the USS Quesadilla!

[burnt laurel]

Is eggs25 working ?

[rose spear]

It only works when the event is running. Should start tomorrow.

[kindred lotus]

disabling frequent game animations to off helped with the new claim animation, but it brought back the recruit crew animation that people have to click the "skip" button to bypass it. 🫠

[stray delta]

@tidal notch How long should we wait for the claim box before we start yelling and screaming?

[tidal notch]

Give it a couple of hours..

[umbral violet]

The extra click when pulling chests blows

[muted shuttle]

The whole arc blows, just sayin. They actually sat down and had meetings about this💩. “let’s go with waves” then we can sell them a ship that cost a fortune to upgrade………..and it still don’t give out half decent ship parts for the capitol investment. Worst arc ever.

[unborn halo]

they have admitted here that they test offers by only giving them to some people and that the method of choosing who sees them is unreleasable

[tidal notch]

I dunno dude. I've been doing this job for over 3 years now, and I've seen some doozies of an arc. I think this arc is actually pretty good especially after the the adjustments they made earlier this week. But I do understand that not everyone shares this perspective.

[fleet path]

Is it just me or did they change elite waves back to unreasonably difficult after a single day? I almost cleared wave 3 yesterday and I'm back to instant death in wave 2. Wtf

[muted shuttle]

Ok second worst. But you are milking the cow pretty hard on this one. The adjusted refinery does not tempt me to spend 100notes on a one trick pony ship then another 1000 to upgrade it.

[tidal notch]

Don't think there were any changes except the adjustments to the G4 waves.

[tidal notch]

Like I said, I understand that not everyone is going to share my perspective.

[fleet path]

If they didn't change anything then I need to report a major bug of elite waves reverting back to exactly how they were before the adjustment yesterday. Like I said, I cleared to to wave 3, just couldn't kill fast enough with only 2 ships left alive. ALL my ships died in first combat on wave 2 with the exact same ships and crews and exos running, just like it was before the adjustment. My ships are stronger than yesterday amd I have more research and building levels, so it should have been better, not worse.

[tidal notch]

What ops are you?

[fleet path]

Ops 47, received the sms for clearing the elite 45 wave 2 yesterday. 3rd ship died at the start of wave 3. Gs-31 did not die. Second ship died after one kill and one hit in 3rd wave.

Today: all ships died on first contact in wave 2 just like before the adjustment.

I don't really appreciate being jerked around by scopely like that considering there are only 2 ways to source parts for this ship; play a losing game of wasting starts for doing a single wave for very little reward or spending money to be in the exact same boat anyways.

[civic haven]

Is it a secret how much of each resource I get? 🤔

[feral jewel]

Yes, surprise 😁

[wheat goblet]

Can I return the trash tokens for something that might actually useful for the trash ship?

[lament thorn]

Please get rid of the awful new sped-up version of "Frequent Game Animations" for Daily Goals Claims, Faction Claims, Refinery Claims, Open PvP and PvE Chests, etc. I can't tell what my rewards are if they're small symbols with no labels that fly off the screen after one second, especially when opening 99 chests at once so the line of symbols runs off the right edge of the screen!

The previous rewards screen thst allows us to see everything we're getting, with labels, for as long as we like until we exit the screen was much better. Why waste your devs' time making the UI even worse than it already is? 😭

I understand I can turn this entire feature off, but since all the "Frequent Game Animations" are grouped together into one setting, then that would make the QoL in the rest of the game worse! I doubt anyone likes this better than the previous version, but if they do, then please allow us to pick and choose which version we'd prefer for each type of animation in the settings. 🙏🏼

[bright drift]

Where I'm can exchange stuck ship with normal 😊😊😊

[meager shard]

Feedback on the discord quiz - way it was set up was fastest to get all answers correct wins, which was always going to result in people answering as quickly as possible.

Suggestions:

1. Randomised question order - even if playersnhave a question bank they'll still have to go through it to match the random question to the correct answer
2. random answer order (ie A-D are flipped around so it's not as simple as knowing the answer to question 1 is C
3. do away with fastest to answer tiebreaker and make it a lottery of all those that answer correctly. It's the same BS as when a tie breaker is forgotten for an in game event and the top 15 people all have the same score but get different rewards based on their (somewhat random) positioning

Do it through the website if discord quiz doesn't allow suggestion 1 or 2

[fervent oyster]

The new client update with closing the dialog is really awful, can you please test and play before updating the mechanic. Every box takes now way longer, because the animation has to be completed before the close happens. If you are already in another the dialog, this will then close.

[dusk canopy]

So I downloaded the new update and now the game refuses to load up. It just stops at 76%.

[vocal tinsel]

Which is the proof that you obviously don't play this game.

[cloud lantern]

You (Scopely) want to speed up progression of players to have a more dense player field, ok.
you do this by sourcing more material and shipparts via spacialty ships.
aquireing the specialty ship takes 3 months as low spender.
leveling the specialty ship is extremely slow.
by the time people are finished with g4 their specialty ships are maybe g4 equal.
by the time players finish g5 and think about entering g6 the specialty ships are still not ready for g5.
so, either make free sourcing faster and maybe reduce it to 1.5months OR reduce the time it needs to level them.

your actions as a company contradict each other.
and while you are at it, take another look at sourcing specialty ships via the eventshop. maybe give a 50% sale on older ships like the vidar, meridian, stella etc. or do you expect g3 players to have a longer grind than g4 and g5 together? the game completely changes around ops 40. everything older than that content needs another investigation

[vivid frigate]

Funny last announcement. People tend to cheat. Breaking news. That exactly is the reason I didn't take part in the quiz, because it was already clear that there will be no chance in winning regularly.

[brazen prism]

three newest buildings in this game, easy to upgrade, vs years old building which is impossible to upgrade, because still tied to the mindless raiding event each month one time. It's time for Scopely to put this building materials for that building available in your daily box

[cosmic drift]

Hello everyone and @rigid vapor, @raw fiber, @tidal notch, @vale wasp, it looks like you've got people in your team looking for ways to annoy and trick your players by hiding away your bugs.
The new "improvement" regarding the way you are NO LONGER displaying the content of the various loot players are opening it is exactly in that direction.
Congrats to your team, they did it properly - against your players.

[finite mural]

Set the disable frequent game animations to off to see your pulls

[cosmic drift]

Thank you 🖖

[finite mural]

They are working on addressing the issue, the bug is that it remains on the screen and you have to click back, the pop out was intended, but people aren't too fond of it being forced, we have relayed the feedback on it and they said they're looking at what they can do. Hopefully they'll add a toggle for each individual type, but for now, changing that setting will let you see things.

[dusty token]

Nope. Adjustments didn't help. I am a low ops 61 with a 1.2B Sanctus, 1.6B rottaran and and 2.2B ent D. My mess hall is 92, which means all my crews except the newest are maxed out. My research is solid. I generally run over most players my size. I am about as good as it gets for smaller dolphin.

Arenas: every single Monday, I have a RL commitment that starts right as arenas start. I get home about 20 minutes before they end. I have missed every single week except the few where I literally sat in a parking lot and played 2 rounds just to get some coin.

Solo waves: the loot in the faction store is great. Trying to get the coins as an ops 60 player is fine since I can punch down and clear 50s.

Events: You want me to hit g6 elite solos with g5 ships? My ships die on the first hit. I can do 3 waves of regular solos or 50 elites, or clear 50s entirely. Not a one counts for the event. So....tuning out.

This is a good way to get me to quit.

[keen loom]

No. They want you to buy the GS31.

[errant brook]

And instant upgrade to t10 and above to be not totally useless for 60 solo Waves - except elites.

[weary tiger]

Come on. Not even 2 minutes into gameplay and I have to restart the damn game. Scopely really has screwed over the fans.

[unique current]

@tidal notch where did the option for buying event ticket packs go?

[cloud lantern]

elite waves are for gs31 owners who like to pump in many $$ for tiering up the ship as well.
as low spender or even f2p, you shouldnt even look at them. a whole month of feature not possible to enter without spending the 100$ entry fee in form of a ship

[tidal notch]

Lemme check.

[chrome vortex]

Why after I redeem the code pulled the gift and found the third one in the store. Do I only have two points? I have rebooted the game twice. No change? <@&509690795536941056>

[spare hedge]

Event Store - > New Additions. Found this one yet? Some where saying this one was lagging.

[tidal notch]

Check under weekly offers.

[unique current]

There is a 60 ticket pack. What happened to the 390 ticket packs?

I don’t need or want away teams speed up anymore at ops67 have a ton of it from daily’s

[fallen spear]

@tidal notch Collected 3 eggs, only 2 got counted 🙄

[tidal notch]

gotcha!

[tidal notch]

Talked to the team and they should be adding it shortly.

[unique current]

Thank you ✊🏻

[unique current]

lol while you are taking suggestions those double battle pass unlocks are pretty awesome sauce for an extra 19.99 😁😂

[finite mural]

they're back now, under limited

[raw ibex]

Why do I keep getting a "the contents of this bundle are outdated" error in stores and refinery?

[rotund yew]

So we all have found 3 eggs is that all today or is there 5?

[gentle ginkgo]

3 each day
for today and next 2 days - noone reads #⭐-official-announcements ? 🤣

[dreamy loom]

except that with collecting 3 you only 2 😵‍💫

[rustic granite]

got all 3 eggs.. and only got event credit for 2 of them

[gentle ginkgo]

reload game and look again - maybe one didnt go through, all eggs can be found ingame

[rotund yew]

Nope never bother reading the blogs as they contain so much that is irrelevant. Thx for the response

[rustic granite]

i did reload the game... still only credit for 2

[gentle ginkgo]

check for the eggs again
Gifts Chests, Event Store -> New Additions, Officer Recruiting

maybe one didnt register

@rotund yew i meant the Discord annoucement, it is explained there , who cares about the blog... 🤣

[rustic granite]

i did.. no more eggs.. ty for your help. guessing its just a glich

[devout lintel]

I thought the T3 officer sms was still
Supposed to continue for several more days. Why is it gone?

[rough tendon]

PLEASE give us the option to toggle to the old system. I absolutely hate the fact that some claims and officer claims just show these little icons. I like to be able to see what I pulled and look at their abilities. Not to mention they disappear after like 2 seconds

[silk charm]

it's there, the "disable frequent game animations" settings

[rough tendon]

Yeah but it only used to be on a few limited items where you knew what you were getting, like single chest pulls. Now it’s on refinery, officers etc. I haven’t played in a few days and it was the first thing I noticed when I logged back on.

[tidal notch]

There is a delay in one of the eggs showing up. I've heard its the one from the event store,

[burnt breach]

Where should i join?

[vapid bough]

Where can u farm g4 epic bp

[analog plank]

Whatever was in the gift chest online did not show in game for me. In game support wants to know why I didn’t screenshot it. I can’t screenshot everything I am doing!

[tidal notch]

You mean one of the eggs that you claimed?

[analog plank]

Correct 🙂

[pulsar venture]

this is the best thing about easter, the egg hunt and rolling them down the hill good luck commanders and happy hunting, oh and another thing thing i can't mine because other player stop me = everything.

oh and another thing i can't hit texas hostiles without losing my shield, that demands full attention while playing and if you have an ops 70 sitting by your base all day then nothing gets done on that event, #personalexperianceonstfc

[boreal hatch]

Anyone else dislike the way you collect refinery stuff now. It goes by so fast I can't see what I got. I like to see what I get, credits, bps, how much rss etc etc. Please go back

[finite mural]

Set the disable frequent game animations to off to see your pulls

[hard yarrow]

I'd suggest all 4 😉 lol

[twin cliff]

You know, it wouldn’t take much coding to prevent Q’s trials from spawning in token space, but it’s extremely irritating to have to either spend an already limited token to enter a system with what is almost certainly not the ship or crew you’d be wanting to enter that system with, or you have to lose out on the trial bells and have your assessment score go down, all because you guys can’t make your randomly spawning (yes in nearby systems) Q trial enemy know that they shouldn’t be requiring you to pay an additional fee beyond the standard trial bells. This has happened to me at least 3 times over the past couple days, I shouldn’t have to choose between spending extra relocation tokens, or potentially losing out on even getting to do the Q trial, because I may not even have the required token type.

[twin cliff]

And if any 709 players are getting any bright ideas of exacting some revenge now that they’ve found my base, remember: you didn’t find it, I posted it, very publicly…so obviously it’s no longer there, that was only during Apex which has ended, and I will go elsewhere next week. 🥸

[slender monolith]

Just move your base permanently to somewhere like Gelvin, you’ll be fine there, just keep shielding.

[marble tangle]

I still miss the side mission, or i just don‘t know how to find it

Pariah (3): The Commander gets an enigmatic transmission from a fellow Independent, requiring some help. Though it seems innocuous, Maia can’t shake the feeling that this brief interaction will significantly impact the universe as we know it.

this one?

[grand bison]

I think we are just too used to the idea, of beeing able to get all the SMS done every time. Im ops66 and i cant clear G6 elite. And? Something to work on is a good thing. Whats the point of G6 epics, if you can clear all G6 content at ops 61?

[warm bolt]

A bit of obscure star trek history that must be added, but;

Ya'll for real for real 💯 need to push this

Star Trek Episode Assignment: Earth Episode, The episode first aired on March 29, 1968. They should do something with this idk check it out

Definitely add Gary Seven I mean a chance to develop an amazing back story with ship missions etc 🤯

[winged jewel]

It was moved to the Section31 Arc Events tab

[leaden junco]

@tidal notch are they going to run a specialty ship upgrade event this weekend? Last weekend they didn't so fingers crossed haha.

[dusty token]

If I had g6 ships, that's one thing, but at ops 60-62, that's just not an option. I just got here. It's not like I am able to race to 63 and build a Minerva or something. No different than someon at ops 50-52 runnning a Pilum or a Hegh'ta.

[winged jewel]

The Elites are for the new ship, these events are kind of a bonus for early adopters.. You didn't get the ship (and the packs to tier it up to g6)? No big deal just skip it like any Heroic event. I don't see the big deal?

[trim salmon]

Is there going to be an update so that Commanders that are lower than level 45 can do solo waves?

[young ibex]

Not a snowball's chance. Especially with this push they have going on to try to get people into G5.

[prime socket]

Y’all ever gonna fix this? These are the kind of things we’re talking about when we say FIX THE BUGS. This obvious, in your face, DAILY, bugs. And this is just an example. There’s many more. No one cares about typos in missions, some overlap from one graphic element on another. When you post a list of bug fixes, every item one the list should make players go “thank goodness they corrected that bug”. Not “wtf is that?”

[tulip cosmos]

So what is with this system? There are meant to be Crystal and Ore here, I see 2 Ore Nodes and 98% Crystal. Not even close to half, same as G6 Token Space, so often loads of 1 type, almost none of the others like Ore.

[vale wasp]

Systems with multiple mat types will have switching nodes, they'll randomly respawn as one of the options. When everyone wants ore nodes, then you'll see your SS often.

[tulip cosmos]

I feel it shouldn't be too hard to set it so you have around half at most times. When Random ends up like my screenshot, it's not good, at least for the players.

[grand bison]

Players are the reason. There is a lvl70 gas/crystal system you can go to at ops64. So evernody is just looking to get some ore.

[vale wasp]

[umbral thistle]

With the new refinery sped up animations if you try to back out of the chest option before the shortened animation has finished it bugs out, flashes with the message 'chest is out of date' then takes you back to your station. (Android)

Bit annoying when the aim of this was to speed up the whole claim everything process

I know it is petty, I don’t need badges at my point in the game, have plenty of each, and lots of disco broken badges to make up any difference. However the optics…scopy you are shooting yourself in the foot yet again with UNFORCED errors. This is just stupid at this point.

[vale wasp]

The quiz is over. More are planned, but none are running now.

[wooden wren]

I hate the new bundle speedup. First, if you hit back too quickly, it breaks and kicks you out of the claim area. And then gives you an error when on other bundles and you have to reboot. Also, some of the rewards show up off the screen and you can’t see them at all.But I would hate this even if it worked. Things flash by too fast and with no text, so you have no idea what you just got. That is ok where everything is guaranteed like Vindicator or things in the DTI store or for things one doesn’t care about, like the 10 minutes claim. But I just collected my 5* exos and don’t know what I got. Or some bundles with officers, it’s hard to tell who you got and impossible to see how many shards you have and will need. It basically takes all of the fun out of collecting bundles, because it is almost impossible to know what you got. I spend a lot of time collecting bundles, so if it is no fun, that sucks. Plus, with the amount of time you have to wait to go back to your next refine, it isn’t saving much time. Also, once the reward flashes off the screen, if it would automatically go back out to the ext refine, that would actually speed things up. And it would take away the frustration of hitting back too quickly and breaking it.

[wooden wren]

Just don’t locate near a token system. That is what I do. If you locate near one, then you are taking the risk

[nimble gulch]

Anyone see when next war room event is

[haughty sail]

the change to the speedup implements is borderline driving me crazy, it's tedious, slower, you don't know what you got and it's inconsistent in going back or not. It's ruining your game, what was a slog every morning chasing red pips is now an active deterrant to playing the game, i'd rather go and play something else at this point

[feral jewel]

Have to be ops 51

[flint spruce]

Is anything more ever going to happen with the Battle Simulator? That was fun. Such a shame if it's just left to rot.

[keen loom]

Much like everything else that is fun and doesn’t generate pack sales, it’s been moved to the boneyard.

[silver bramble]

It's possible to switch off this behaviour in the general settings section. 🍻

[dull canopy]

the elimination SLB has a to wide range of OPS lvls, I am lvl 42 and have to compete with Lvl49 players, who can have the new ship and other options on autogrinding, not quite a fair fight for good places in my opinion

[twin cliff]

I’m aware, but again, that’s requiring unrelated resources to be spent on Q’s trials. It really shouldn’t be difficult to just add a line of code that makes them not spawn in token systems.

[median gyro]

How is 1,701 not the threshold for the next tier of mess hall?

C'mon, that one should've been a no-brainer.

[keen bolt]

@charred cosmos no apparently the lvl up didn't take I've given up on it let's just put it down to typical scopely bugs n all if I could id give it back if it was real I'd put it in the scrapman to crush it's mothballed as far as I'm concerned, it's that or go through it all over again to get to lvl 5 and he faced with the sane situation so let's just say it's a lesson learned and I'll not bother with it or buying any more ill just potter along if I could id shelve the account til more of the bugs are smoothed out

last I checked, Discord and Scopely are not US Government state actors. Private corporations do not have to guarauntee your freedom of speech

[haughty temple]

Ahhhh guess it time to drop the game more communist lol

[vast nest]

Ah yes Scopely the paragon of communism with their only goal of making a boat load of money off of people. Marx and Lenin would be proud of them for breaking the bonds of serfdom and carrying the flag of the revolution

[wintry zinc]

well if u think communism is only about making money off people, i'd recommend looking into the history books again lol. additionally, freedom of speech != unrestricted speech either 🙂

[haughty temple]

I have read a lot of history shame scopley has ruined a good game

[wintry zinc]

well i just did some history too 🙂 I'm sorry I replied tho, seems that your existence on this server for the past 6 months is solely based around complaining about censorship and scopely asking money. Yet you're still here and still playing the game. One might wonder... 🙂

Anyway, happy easter, in case you celebrate that 🙂

[vast nest]

Read a dictionary and look up what sarcasm means. Scopely isn't communist but a perfect capitalist company that doesn't care about you or me but only on increasing shareholder value

[wooden wren]

That isn’t how they chose to set it up.

[keen loom]

Another shining example of Scopley listening to player feedback. AT every couple weeks is insane. Figure it out Scopley.

Krenim entities economy is terrible, now I'm ops 55 I have to grind stupid amounts of Krenim entities to claim four chests of static and charged credits, yet the payouts for these does not seem to improve while the amount of wreckage needed for the four chest claim continues to increase. Unless I do Krenim Formation alongside these, how am I realistically going to get enough credits from these to progress the DTI faction and FKR rep, judging from current economy I could grind for a month on the Entities as still not have enough for the four chest claim. I'm not in a position to hit higher than lvl50 entities at present and certainly not in a position to pay to progress.

[limber mesa]

work on improving your ships, crews, research, and favors.
you should be able to hit at or close to your level.

[wanton rivet]

1. i stopped upping rep until I can build a relativity. 2. I think they generally expect you to have Tolra to get any decent amount of loot & damage.

[frank beacon]

Scopely please do something about this tier up change of ft’s. Either give people G6/G5 trials to boost that tier/level up changes or get rid of the requirements at a whole. Roughly 10% change to get it to t11 with a max assessment rank is a joke really

[keen loom]

“Just need Janeway, spend or do the vindicator loop.” Just illustrating what the response likely will be. Don’t worry though, if they launch new trials, it’ll be behind a continuum rep loop, with a special ship, that you only get prints for by killing level 1 hostiles, in a single system during AT. Because that is the way of things. Edit: forgot to include that they will launch specific officers to help, behind a pay wall, that only work on said specialty ship. They will hail it as the best thing since sliced bread, and of course, it won’t work. 🙂

[weary tiger]

Another great day to support Scopely and thier much haunted game that you have to restart 6 times just to complete dailies. Thank you STFC for showing the gaming world what not to do for your customers.

[radiant terrace]

Thank you for the 3 day warning on tournaments. It really helps

[robust knoll]

What’s the issue w/ them at the same time? Don’t understand why it’s a problem.

[leaden junco]

Great job retaining the lesson we thought the devs learned last week.

They are seriously clueless at this point. The way the solo event last week was structured was great. This is nonsense and I'm disappointed that they are so oblivious, they actually think this ship works. At least drop the level requirement so we dont need to spend $600 to level those worthless ship for approx $50 worth of event store currency. I know common sense is dying, but math is still solid right?

[severe burrow]

ok who messed up instead of use getting the normal 17.5k points for battlepass like we usually do we only got 12.5k today which is gonna seriously undercut us on the overflow most likely

[silk charm]

different events have different point amounts. the mining event is always 12.5k. some are 15k, some are 17.5k, and at least one is 20k. i don't think there's reason to worry about that yet

[oak hawk]

I really hate discovering that playing provided me nothing ....

This happened because I am working on moving up & getting XP on ships. Guess you don't want me to play

[dreamy quest]

Maybe hit the hostile cap for the day so no more loot

[void sequoia]

If we keep feeding scopleys piggy bank, they will keep inventing ways to screw us.
No other game charges so much for all their packs. In Australian dollars 99% of packs cost $150 each.
No thanks, I'll choose putting food on the table and a roof over my head than spend hard earned money on scopleys packs. Speaks volumes to their Greed.

[leaden junco]

You're not wrong, but with this ship, it's worse than ever because they literally are either failing or not comprehending their own in game currency this arc. Couple that with how bad the ship actually is for G6 players, it's embarrassing. It's so bad, @tidal notch normally responds to these sorts of criticisms, ones that can be easily fixed, and I've gotten crickets when this event has run this arc. Do you know how bad it has to be that Hammy can't even spin an answer to how terrible the currency and GS-51 events have been this arc? This has to undoubtedly be the biggest embarrassment they've had in at least 2 years, and it's evident from the silence on this matter.

Literally all that has to be done to make this arc palatable is to drop the ops level requirements for elite solo waves and its fine. They won't though not because it's hard, but because they would have to admit this literal garbage ship misses the mark by miles for g6 operations.

[muted shuttle]

He replied to me, told me it was a great Arc……….that was me put back in my box😂😂😂

[leaden junco]

That's disappointing if that's true because Hammy is a Scopely workers obviously, but has always been fair. Anyone with half a brain doesn't look at this arc and say 'oh, for G6 players to complete this event, they need to spend $800 and we will reward this with less than $100 special currency ' and think that's truly a good arc. @tidal notch might have said 'it's a good arc' but highly doubt it was serious. This arc is terrible and they know it because we've gotten 2 comps chests and a ship parts refinery boost which still doesn't make the ship do what it's supposed to do.

LITERALLY all they have to do is drop the ops requirement from the elite solo wave to make it fair, but they've decided to effectively punish most G6 players and cut the currency we can earn because for the first time, many of us can't clear an SMS with a specialty ship. It's fallen on deaf ears here with @tidal notch , @raw fiber , and <@&509690795536941056> so I've opened a ticket thoroughly explaining the extreme disadvantage G6 players have had with this event set up, so hopefully something comes from that.

[warm crater]

“So much fear and doubt over such a little thing”… and “what’s in a name?”

I feel like people would be much, much, much less mad (mad enough to only tag a guy one to three times in 30 minutes as opposed to four, maybe)… if scopely had named the waves the same Greek letters they used for the corresponding events.

A G6 player would be far less embarrassed hitting a “sigma elite” wave than a 50-coded wave, elite in the name or no. Then again, that’s meant to drive FOMO spend, so 🤷‍♀️.

Then again, my account is ready for the content my account is ready for, regardless of what scopely chooses to label it. I can’t completely a G6 elite wave with my T7 G6 rare, so I’ll do the G5 ones, get my loot, get stronger… and come back and do the G6 ones and test myself.

Anyway, my general feedback for grumpiness is one thing, my feedback for the game is we could really do with an “equip all” mechanic for ship pieces if the game is going to continue to encourage scrap loop-style ships. Obviously, use at your own risk, maybe give us a toggle for that ability in settings.

Similarly, a “clear all crew” button (and maybe matching “clear all bridge” and “clear all LOWER DECKS LOWERDECKS LOWERDECKS” buttons) would be amazing for swapping officers.

[muted shuttle]

#💬-general-feedback message

[leaden junco]

This is really out of touch Hammy. Are you really suggesting that you condone Scopely's ask that G6 players spend $700-$800 to get the ship to G6 level and then still not even complete clearly Waves 3, 4, and 6 even for G6 players for the sms? That's incredibly short sighted and disappointing if it's true. This arc has been terrible and the devs have been incredibly out of touch with what they've asked from players, especially G6 for event completion. So, Scopely employees are LEGITIMATELY behind the idea for G6 players to spend $700-$800 on GS-31 upgrades and STILL not completing the Elite Solo Wave event completion? That's how that reads and you know I'm a fair guy when it comes to feedback. This is just willingly being out of touch.

[oak hawk]

It's worse than NO More Loot ... no more XP ... which is what I was wanting ... so my ships would be ready for me to level up my ops and such.

[dreamy quest]

yea unfortunately as I understand it - XP is considered loot (as loot crews boost XP), so is faction rep

[ocean pebble]

Can we buy more than one whip and use it on each feesha we build?

[silk charm]

if you're asking how it currently works, no. if you're asking if they can change it ... probably not due to how FT work

[ocean pebble]

Okay. Thank you.

[frail latch]

Can someone confirm that if you don't have this BS31 ship then even the lowest level solo waves are nigh on impossible?

[quasi wraith]

ive read you have people brute forcing it, especially the high levels

[vale wasp]

Unless you buy some upgrade packs, the players bringing a GS ship with them are dragging along a burden. My 3rd ship is stronger. A few weeks in, and zapper development would be strong enough that it brings something to the table. I can clear solos with buffs, and beat 2/5 of E60s.

Very strong G4 players can beat the newly nerfed E45s without the ship, and same with G5.

[random pilot]

Its a 2000 daily hostile ship loot limit. Came accross it last week on the faction rep event.

[ancient sandal]

why only 4 hour shield this time? consistency?

[fast anvil]

maintenance was less than 1 HR

[ancient sandal]

so what? 🤷‍♂️

[pliant wadi]

shorter maintenance, shorter shield

[small briar]

Just logged in and 22 minutes left on my golden shield

[ancient sandal]

no pre-information about shield length -> expectation is 8 hour shield as in the past 13983531221 times, people log out have to go to work or whatever if there is no other information provided we should get the expected length not some rng generated length

[old seal]

They said about an hour in #⭐-official-announcements

[ancient sandal]

Shield not maintenence length

[grizzled cove]

I'm at Ops 59, and I have all 3 rare faction ships (T7 Sanctus, T2-3 on the other 2). I don't have the new ship. I can get thru wave 4 of a level 50 solo wave, and I die about halfway thru wave 5.

[valid kindle]

Waves are still unplayable on iPad (Air 2): stuck/freezes then every time the game drops you out

[grizzled cove]

I'm able to play pretty smoothly on a 5th-gen iPad Pro.

[limber mesa]

still not right.
maintenance at 11(local time)
duration 1 hour.
so 4 hour shield should start counting at 12.
my station just got hit a few minutes ago(15:45)

that doesn't add up.

[fast anvil]

yea idk why that happened, mine worked fine

if u lost rss yell at support, did that last time and they refunded me

[limber mesa]

G6 station, it takes more than an initial hit to get resources out of that.

[frail latch]

Im at 56, just getting the second rare. When the solo waves were first released I'd get through round 2 of the 50s, the 45s barely scratched the paint. Then the next update I couldn't get past the 2nd wave in the 45s. I'll have to give it another go if they've nerfed it back to being reasonable without building the BS31

[left pivot]

the new streamlined popup claims would be a whole lot better if they had backgrounds to distinguish between common/uncommon/rar/epic etc. alas right now claiming materials is all mystery meat

[pliant otter]

Thanks for a 💩y arc. Solo elite waves are junk. When a lvl 60 with decent ships can’t get past wave 4 on a lvl50 elite solo and can’t dent a lvl60 wave 2 which all the events are for there is a problem. Just garbage.

[haughty sail]

🤣

[mint ember]

@tidal notch while I understand that scopley need to celebrate something, locking a day like Earth Day behind a pay wall is a bit harsh, considering alot of humanity didn't have to pay to live on our fair planet.
Why has no free to play event or reward or gift been issued to help celebrate this day?

[cloud lantern]

Bonus Seasonpass unattravtive

first.. the officers in this seasons pass are great, BUT... there are several little things that make a purchase unattractive.

1. higher players have their holodeck already maxxed and dont need emitters...
2. most competing alliances already have millions of refined 1 2 3 iso...
3. mirror fragments are sourced quite well and dont have to be in there...
4. many of the special building materials need a second look imo. you could easily make it more attractive by replacing stuff with badly sourced materials like subspace relais or honor emblems.
5. btw, there is still a huge shortage of isoemulsion for researches as well, especially with the accelerated growth

kr

[ancient sandal]

Could not think of a better way to celebrate earth day but spending more money on this Pixel garbage

[wise vale]

Wait, so I can spend $19.99!!!!! and get an avatar? And nothing else since I already paid for the extended BP?

[silk charm]

you'll get all of the rewards from the battlepass again. extra choice tokens and all that good stuff.

[wise vale]

Oh boy! A double helping of 💩 ! And to celebrate a day we’re supposed to be conserving things, saving the planet, that kind of thing!

Wow. Talk about not reading the room at all….

[lethal sand]

Ich suche STFC, Deutsch Discord??? Bin neu und weiß auch nicht welche Server ich habe. Kannst du mir helfen?

[cyan ore]

@tidal notch Helllo Ham,

I've got an suggestion to add as feature for stfc.space or in game. We currently have tons of officers available and get more each arc. Where it was easy to crew around 4 years ago its currently quite hard to understand what officer activates or not. We have officers against players, armadas, hostiles, Armadas & hostiles, Invading entities or any weird other combinations in the future. We almost need a bookkeeper to track all the combination. The internals are quite dificult to gasp.
What i would like to see is a tool that helps you a bit.
It could work that you first select a hostile and get a list of officers and abilities that activate (highlighted).
There are edge cases ofcourse, but if youre interested about this idea we can talk about it. Just give a message.

[unique current]

@tidal notch thanks Hammy for the bonus battlepass 👍🏻✊🏻

[nova sierra]

Unfortunately that iPad is ancient (11 years old) and only has 2 GB of memory (RAM) which really isn't even enough to properly run this game. I would be surprised if they made any adjustments for that device at this point. Unfortunately they have never updated their system requirements for iOS for this game. I would highly recommend an iOS device with a minimal 4 gigabytes ram. Not only that, with everything going on in a wave defense, the CPU/GPU of that device are also way out of date.

When I am in a wave defense, the game is using about 4 GB of RAM (out of 16 total) on my iPad.

As a general rule of thumb, when hardware is 7+ years old, it's considered pretty much out of date for anything.

[valid kindle]

OK, thx! Once my 4 kids will be self-sufficient I'll afford smth more modern

[nova sierra]

Oh I totally get it.. most people can't run out every three years and get a new device.

There's some newer iPads, that are at the bottom tier for performance, that would do better than that old one that you use, and you could probably get for a decent price. It's not your fault because the system requirements for this still say iOS 10 and basically a 2 GB RAM device. They just haven't updated the system requirements for this game over the years. Even a model that was sold a few years ago would probably do better, and you can probably find those at a decent price as well.

But just a heads up, with a device that's 11 years old, you run the risk of the battery starting to leak and the device start to swell (due to gases building up in an old battery). So be mindful of that. I usually don't recommend people using mobile device devices much more than 7 to 10 years because they risk issues like that with the battery. My old iPad that was eight years old when the battery started smoking when I charged it at some point which prompted me to buy a new one 😁

[twilit sparrow]

Yow scopeley This must be some prank you are doing. Literally 1 shard short

[limber mesa]

you must've missed an event, gift, or mission somewhere.
if you purchased the elite BP and did the missions/events you should have exactly a full unlock.

[twilit sparrow]

hmm idk.. i was a returnee.. thbey gave me a free eliete bp

[limber mesa]

did you do the holodeck mission(s) for this arc?

[tropic crown]

Did they push out a hotfix all my setting have changed?

[twilit sparrow]

im not sure.. ill check

[twilit sparrow]

not in holo deck .. nope not in there or i already did it

[silk charm]

isn't there another ten shards in the gathering Intel meta?

[twilit sparrow]

maybe .. but why need to spend there

[nova sierra]

No need to spend.

So what is new with the the territory " refresh "......same as last time which was the same as before...... and....well you know the rest?
Lazy lazy Scopely

[toxic anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> Why the stealth nerf on this ?

[boreal ferry]

i thought my proto stores were building up slower than usual 👀

[silk charm]

they'd be building up faster now. proto went up. the current state is what logical progression was & the tooltip claimed it should be. the attached chart shows the old behavior
not to say I don't miss 6k catalysts a day

[toxic anvil]

After all this time it's still a nerf and will penalise player that did not get it before by slowing progress, another "though after fix" to make player buy FT pack

Had the nerf on the GS31 prime, they have the bad habit to "fixing" stuff after people spend money and get stick...

[latent timber]

i liked the extra catalysts 😦 Couldnt they just change the numbers of protomatter and rods and keep everything else the old values? XD

[peak charm]

Why can’t we purchase or earn past ships and officers after their time has come?

On our server we have a lot of G6 players. We need more mining systems

[fast anvil]

tbh need more g5 mining systems as well. im resorting to token space for dailies now just because its always full in faction space

[native pawn]

You can make it not so full, accidents happen 😅

[keen loom]

I see all the feedback provided about AT, broken task refresh, broken store - has once again gone unanswered. Is this a demonstration of the care shown for the player base? <@&509690795536941056> I’m wondering if you can share examples of positive feedback received for AT, since what’s public is negative and unanswered.

[ashen lodge]

@tidal notch I thought we were going to be getting an increase to prime valor?! 24 months to unlock everything is an unreasonable amount of time. Other primes are sourced in 2-3 months via alliance tournaments.

My suggestion last time was for up to 2000 (10 packs of 200) that way it's only 6 months

[keen loom]

#examples of excellent coding by Scopley. Redirecting people from the event store to the pay store. Months this has gone unanswered. It’s not breaking news. So what gives? <@&509690795536941056>

[grave osprey]

Wtf am i meant to do as a ops 19 player <@&509690795536941056>

You know that answer is going to be level up, or $$$$ to participate.

[lusty basin]

Swarm, FKR hostiles, ultra recruits are all achievable from lvl 12, you just got to hope for nice re rolls.

As always, what the player base gets.

[violet elm]

Dude 💯 next time we gonna hear that Scopely listens and answers to player feedback 😂

[keen loom]

Yep. Beginning to think that is the job of community managers. Make it sound like people are listening, when in fact, it all just rolls into nothingness.

Honestly. I see no point to official discord channels, since they are a one way flowing of information, and nothing of substance is ever taken seriously by Scopley. Tell me I am wrong here, show me evidence - that Scopley has listened to a word said about AT performance, general game performance, and constantly launched broken content.

Also, let’s end the private messages from CM’s that make you feel your requests are unreasonable.

This is a pay to play game. If you take money from us, you need to respond in a meaningful manner.

[violet elm]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is what I’ve observed. They only fix things if: A) it impacts sales and cash… B) the Big Spenders demand so on their special super special VIP server… C) to create the illusion that anyone actually listens.

So they may fix some of the issues and create something new players wanted, just to basically calm down the mob. Throw them some bread.. Let’s just check the latest release: the new click & collect. Good feature, bad implementation. They don’t take their time. Just put it out there for the angry complaining mob! And then they create more bugs because all they care about is sales… We players give more feedback and then it makes us look like complainers even more.

I can only shake my head about how they design their business. If I’d do this or work like this… I would have been fired 1000x over anywhere else.

The good essence of Star Trek is declining as well. Just a year ago, I sensed more of Star Trek in the events than I do now. It has become this empty repetitive shoot and grind. Buy or stay behind multiple ships and loops - all your problem of course.

I was always eager to come online and play. I’m not saying all is bad. There’s a few really good things in this game. Probably the reason why I still play. But I play on my terms. Not on FOMO. Not to be better than others. For fun. Real fun!
Imagine a healthy world where Scopely would change their mindset and delivered good product. More people would be willing to play and even buy things…

[grave quest]

other than once or twice (free gaila) i don’t think they ever cared what is said here. they only listen to the whale discord.

[cursive gale]

Couple ideas here to make the bonus mining feel more impactful.

1. Make the bonus RSS/materials not be lost when you leave a node after going over max cargo due to the bonus mining.
2. If you're still actively mining and will be OPC due to bonus cargo mined before being attacked, then make that bonus cargo and only that be protected for that combat. Anything in your hold before the calcuation is subject to normal protected limits. Further anything that causes the bonus to calculate (surving being attacked, leaving the node, 0 node, or max cargo) will be treated to normal cargo limits thus fully exposed.

[oak bone]

Game performance is terrible, getting kicked out every 30 - 120 seconds, requiring a reload

[graceful jacinth]

I've got no Jellyfish Pursuit event at all 🤷‍♀️

Seriously, we have enough loot from Borg probes and hirogen. Can we get some other events please, it's been 2 months of the same things over and over and over and over again.

[keen loom]

And the only announcement is about an event 85% care less about. Jellyfish Brawl. Kudos for Scopley keeping a pulse on the community and what matters to the players.

[torpid cargo]

95% or more care less about the Jelly Brawl event. Put it right up there with the importance of mining monday for me.

[keen loom]

Not a word you said was inaccurate. It won’t change though, and rather than listen, Scopley is deep in the closet figuring out how next to improve revenue.

They completely fail to see the connection between player satisfaction and spend.

[fast anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> i'm kinda mad about the fact that i was affected by the research help bug for 9 days and scopely thinks 720 latinum a bit of irrelevant rss and mats. a peace shield and a loyalty token is all thats needed for compensation. what happened to the daily research tasks that i would have completed?(i go through minimum 10 researches a day, tryna push to 56). the night on the day before i left my alliance as i read here that it was the way to fix the bug without having to wait for scopely to fix it. i went to CS and requested that either they give me the daily research task i would have completed or they revert my alliance rep back to max(i was at max rep before leaving) but CS just said that i already got compensation for something that i was affected with for 9 days. does 720 latinum really equate to 45 1-day speed ups?(ops 54 gets 5 1-day speed ups for the daily task, so just 9 by 5). is it only when i drop 100s of dollars then scopely sees me as a player and compensates me properly? if not then why cant they at least do the bare minimum

[sullen parrot]

None of these. 🤦‍♂️

How do you report a technical issue with technical support to technical support? 😅

[latent timber]

Can we remove faction rep packs once we hit maximum rank in a faction? (Also weird the amount increases at max rank 🤣 )

[coarse sundial]

just wondering can we option to que at takts

can we buy half a GS31?

[finite mural]

no half pack atm

if they do them, it's generally around the time f2p will have half of the blueprints, but they don't always do them for ships

[placid rain]

Question: Why does the Kirshara go up to a max of 24 hostiles in the queue, when all the systems I have been in so far have a max of 18-19 hostiles? Does this not make the last few upgrades pointless?

it carshed after every 8

[rocky cloak]

@tidal notch regarding Scopely's online help, can we please get a 'Something else' option when trying to report bugs or technical issues?
Otherwise we're forced to choose between a limited number of options, which very well can have nothing to do with our issue...

Rerolling is totally messed up
@placid rain at least it would be amazing if it would work without stopping anytime 🤣

I've noticed it tends to blip and lock if someone takes the first hostile out in your chain before you. It does other times too, but I've not found a pattern for those.

I am not a fan of the new fly-out animation of items when you do pulls in the UI. If you get more than about 3 items, they fly away so fast, you can't see what you got. So when I need to, I take a screenshot so I can bring up Paint and see what items I got. But then you find out that the items do not show their rarity in the fly-out. The background glow is always blue instead of purple, blue, green, or grey depending on rarity. For example, this picture has 3 survey parts pulled. There is no distinction between rarities.

[hearty venture]

On iPhone. I've never had any problems paying on my phone or PC before.

[finite mural]

multiphasics are only on webstore and pc

[hearty venture]

So, one by one. I selected the Acquire Multiphasic Credit task. Then I bought Temporal Conduit Chaos. Ultimately, it's like this, I didn't notice that I got Multiphasic credit and the task hangs as if it still wasn't done.

[deft nova]

In relation to that recent announcement of the Maia animated short. Did the story get changed at some point?
In the opening mission La Forge has built Maia and the station, then just hands it over to you and just never shows up again.
Then in all subsequent story missions you suddenly have Scotty along for the ride and suggesting he built Maia

Let us turn in old currencies, even the ones that have a use still, if we don't want it, we should be able to convert it -- you can have the conversion scale be dynamic, and they can convert to things besides latinum too, officer or ship xp would be fine, we just want to get rid of the junk.

Please auto-convert extra artifact shards to their corresponding currency, same behaviour as extra officer shards.

[true beacon]

Yeah. Instead of cleaning up some of the mountain of defective content they already put out Scopely is giving us a cartoon. SMH

[keen loom]

It’s what I’ve been saying for days. Scopley DOES not care about the player community.

In no other industry would this level and frequency of player complaints go unanswered.

It’s a serious slap in the face to every player to push out a video - and fluff a level 1 mission, while so much content that people actually care about remains broken.

I don’t know who the community managers answer to, nor the devs, but they answer to someone.

[stuck jay]

Here's an idea.... if the code isn't fixed and tested as fixed, maybe don't run the event?

[finite mural]

You are aware that the people that did the animation are not the same ones that work on the game, right?

[keen loom]

Absolutely. My point stands. Put that level of effort into the game code, not fluff, that literally no one cares about.

Start listening to the community, the complaints, and feedback, the suggestions, do something constructive to improve the game.

I don’t get it, it’s not rocket science, yet has to be explained with etch a sketch drawings.

I’m sure absolutely no dev hours were utilized in making the mission available again.

I’m sure Levar Burton volunteered his time, and was not compensated, certainly no money spent that could have been better used stabilizing content.

[fluid mist]

oh it's been that way for years and years ob ham is doing what he can but the bar is so low that it's a struggle to improve things now

[keen loom]

Not really.

It’s simple. ZERO new content until existing is stable.

Period.

3 months tops.

6 if you update the antiquated chat and alliance features.

[prime socket]

I love it when I try to do something exactly at reset and the game just freezes. SO awesome.

[full finch]

Ships not being able to get to the max level of their associated content is very frustrating!
Eviscerator can't get to the 70 gorn system
G6 Rare Miners can't get to the 70 faction mining systems

Can we get a claim All here, even better if it would do all of the artifacts with 1 click

[mystic tree]

Hello Support …

[muted shuttle]

My old friend……..

[weak warren]

Could someone please tell me how to migrate 2 accounts to the same planet?

[errant brook]

If you mean Server Transfer: Possible for players below OPS12 and only once.

*Click on profile
*Go to Settings -> there should be an option to transfer

https://scopely.helpshift.com/hc/en/19-star-trek-fleet-command/faq/5103-server-transfer/

[weak warren]

I can't find the space teleport in the settings menu. Can you take a screenshot and show it to me?

@errant brook

[errant brook]

Sadly not - It only shows until OPS 12 as far as I can see. You might need to ask Moderators

[primal anvil]

I tried yesterday 10 times. Same thing 10 times. Logged off after that, was getting too frustrated

[narrow glade]

Put the SafeArea property back on the mobile client, my camera is encroaching on the game now

[silver plume]

I'm 62 and it's absolutely ridiculous that there is no epic g5 gas in my choice awards. I can refine it and normal events pay it out so there is no reason not to include it in the choice awards. I don't care if there is more crystal in it's pack but if you give out epic crystal there should be some amount of epic gas. I'd love to buy the battle pass but this just makes it almost worthless.

[keen loom]

Another day goes by with silence from Scopley. Might as well shut down all the feedback channels, wasted space, and wasted effort.

[placid rain]

Can we please get two rep exos in the IA pulls. Prior to the amalgam pulls being included, we always used to get two rep exos from the pull in the recruit section. One is not really enough, esp with the rep event SLB's you are running more of these days.

And actually as I think about it, can we reduce the chance of getting the -ve rep exos? With the MU nowadays they're pretty much defunct.

[lilac oar]

Is there a reason that all the Krenim formation armadas are now Epic? Or am I maiisng something

[finite mural]

they've always been epic

[lilac oar]

Hmmmmm I could have sworn they were Rare lol

[hollow oxide]

Are we down for maintenance? My game crashed and now it won't launch.

[coarse sundial]

wears my tickets

[finite mural]

asked about the tickets

and they're in

[violet elm]

Discord here is indeed mostly just a dumpster. So much feedback and so many words spoken. In the end $copely just closes the app and goes home sipping on their margaritas…

[coarse sundial]

can we all so have a short cut added or option to add short cut to airtfact window as when you upgrade the building you can not get to the resotre menu got ticked thanks at

[keen loom]

Precisely the issue. Feedback goes unanswered via official channels. Sounds like performance reviews are needed across the board.

[tropic crown]

What?

[oak bone]

Can we disable the new chest opening graphic, We cannot see what we are actually getting anymore

[finite mural]

Set the disable frequent game animations to off to see your pulls

[novel meteor]

This example shows you how incompetent they are.
🤣

[keen loom]

Careful. People get banned for name calling

[limber oriole]

Here's some feedback
. No one cares about the animated short.
Fix the games multiple issues please fit the love of all that is holy.

[tropic crown]

😂

[keen loom]

Except now Scopley has to attempt to get traction with the short - given Levar Burton didn’t volunteer his time. Set quality back another 6 months.

[silver jolt]

so the new short is only confusing.. not good. In game maya says scotty created her the whole cannon in game is scotty created her from ancient programming but in the video le forge FINDS her .

[vivid nebula]

You didnt expect scopely to have played this game did you?

[keen loom]

Do you even really care which story is accurate? Care enough that Scopley dumps time and energy into something other than GAME STABILITY?

Good to know that even when they utilize resources, they still can’t get it right.

[rich cypress]

I thought this arc was great. Event store loot improved my account. I enjoyed the whispers and the Easter events. Did not like the GS31 solo leaderboard brackets and am still not thrilled with my garbage scow ship but overall this has been the best arc of the year. Well done Eco.

[novel meteor]

If that's supposed to be an insult, you haven't seen me actually insult someone.
🤣

[tidal notch]

Insults are against server policy.

[limber oriole]

Here's some more feedback. Stop pushing in game videos. They are annoying and If I wanted to see your content, you have a website for it. Don't need in game notifications.

[clever whale]

We get this indignity of a video and not even a gift chest to go with it?

[ocean pebble]

@tidal notch loved the short video with Geordi LaForge!!! Will there be more of them? It was awesome!!!!

[tidal notch]

Hey! Glad you dug it! I think there is plan to do more!

[clever whale]

Suck up lol

[proud leaf]

Rather you spend the money you spent on the video, to hire ppl to actually fix the game.... or just keep putting bandaids on it then break those with every update.... yaaa.... ugh.

[keen loom]

I’d rather just have Scopley come out and say that. Let’s just put it on the table. Games stability fixes come the second Tuesday of every week.

[ocean pebble]

@tidal notch It makes me crave more Star Trek tv shows. I wish they would go ahead and do the continuing of Star Trek with Seven and TNG crew’s children. Cannot remember the name of show that was circling around. It was Star Trek Legacy wasn’t it?

[haughty sail]

Funny how the only reply from scopely is to a positive comment , complete ignoring the rest

[tidal notch]

I understand that some folks didn't like it as much as others. I liked it and I'm happy to other people did too.

[tidal notch]

Yeah! I was interested to see where things were going after Picard Season 3. But I'm still super digging SNW!

[ocean pebble]

@tidal notch I love SNW, as well. I’m glad they went back to old style storytelling for it. Liked Discovery, but love the earlier shows better.

[tidal notch]

Oh Yeah. TNG will always be my all time favorite, but I really like what they're doing with SNW.

[ocean pebble]

I agree. Excited for new season.

[quick gale]

That gif you used for Mod Admiral… Considering the quality of the game, I would not trust scopely holding a sword near my head…

[dense prawn]

Why? What do they add to the game / experience? Why does the plot totally differ from the plot in the game?

[ocean pebble]

It makes some of us, who love Star Trek, want to play more. I understand there are a lot of bug fixes needed, but since some of us play for nostalgic reasons I wanted to thank them for it. Since the game is created to put us in as an independent, I enjoy seeing it from a different perspective and storyline. I understand the game issues give us a lot of frustrations, but I’m choosing to focus on something that is fun for the moment.

[distant palm]

I have a problem in the game

When I’m going to add my 3 ships to the army, one of them is left outside and won’t let me join and I lost 400 directives

[oak nexus]

If you guys want to reminisce about something, let it be the Quality over Quantity we were promised rather than devoting time and resources to a Maia video

[keen loom]

Well said sir. Well said.

[vagrant ridge]

they lost quality about 2 years ago.

[haughty temple]

This chat suxxs

[tidal notch]

Glad you liked it! I thought it was cool too

[rich cypress]

Not everything is for everyone… maybe you don’t like missions, arenas, PvP, animations, trivia- Just ignore what you don’t like and move on… and if you do not like anything, seriously quit the game and the discord and go touch grass. The constant whining, complaining, sniveling is old and tired.

[ocean pebble]

Then why do you play it? Why start fights about someone’s opinion? Everyone has their own reasons and opinions and it’s a free country to express it.

So many complaints that are warranted, but how many thank you’s or compliments do we send them for even having this game for us to play? It has a LOT of issues that I have also complained about, but someone sits behind the desk programming the game so we can have fun. It takes saying 20 good things to offset just 1 bad thing. The best way to get the game fixed is to quit spending big money on it as a protest. If the wallet is involved it gets more results.

[stuck jay]

My absolute favorite "feature" is that when I spend UNC Commander Skill Points or pull officers from the recruit tab on PC, I get a force close.... every time.

[silk charm]

that sounds like a crash caused by an outdated setting from the community mod. you can fix that by changing the settings for it:

edit the community_patch_settings.toml file
place stay_in_bundle_after_summary = false
under the UI heading, default is true. If the toml file is empty, copy the vars file into it

[stuck jay]

Thank you. I'll double check that and test. Event viewer was pointing to version.dll ** Update. It worked. Thank you again.

[silk charm]

incidentally, version.dll is the community mod. Glad that fixed it for you!

[stuck jay]

(looking at the update date on the other .dll files.... that makes sense)

[eager tundra]

wanna lay a complaint - being scammed by devs with drop rates being below the floor.
why put something in a chest with a chance drop, when it never drops.
6 months straight, not a single rare drop, in any of these parts chest.

[wary citrus]

For the love of all that is holy and value our time, we need formada speed up.. or make the timers shorter like 5 mins............

[ivory folio]

May i ask why we have a gap in the super highways between Remme and Van Vieken System? Missing construction permit? 😁.
Its not really a problem but it triggers my inner Monk every day 😜.

[quick gale]

More bye weeks. If you produced a quality product they wouldn’t be needed…

[native adder]

@tidal notch I understood the affected servers got notified ahead of everyone else.. Why have we heard nothing about this and why is it buried on the website with no Discord announcement? Our server is active and struggling for G6 mining nodes already so this makes no sense to me.

[arctic bramble]

How do I know now which server will cease to exist after a merger? Thanks

[karmic bough]

The one on the left of the arrow will cease to exist

<@&509690795536941056> why was my daily chest of Tier Up Catalyst reduced from 6000 to 1200?

[tawny spruce]

100 percent agree us on 163 are struggling for g6 mining too and they are going retire 163 and we are ranked first in incursions in the Eu!
Absolute shambles!

[severe burrow]

ok you guys seriously need to go back to the old incursion schedule and spread it out over 4 days like it use to be thursday prep fri 1 set of servers sat second set of servers and sun 3rd set of servers. one so we have the exos to help prep and 2 to cut down the lag its is hurrendous how much lag there is with all of them runniing on one day,

[sweet meteor]

@rigid vapor
Dear Scopely Team,
My server 163 is set to merge with 145 very soon.
As we are a server that holds 2nd on most wins for Incursions world wide and 1st on EU most of us are commited to Incursions.
Most server 163's would like to retain/keep the 163 Hasperat server name.
Some players have even suggested they may stop buying packs as a form of protest.
Would it be possible to have an Event that allows both servers 145 and 163 to fight for who keeps the name and number of their server to give them a fighting chance on the decider.
Points could be given in the event by a mix of pvp, mining, doing missions, researches, upgrading station buildings, etc.
163s would merge to 145 and would temporarily be called 145 until the Event that decides the name is concluded.
Or forget the Bye and let 163 and 145 battle it out in an Incursion. Winner of the Incursion gets to keep their server name and number.
Thankyou.

[rich cypress]

It’s my opinion. I get to enjoy things about the game just the same as you get to hate everything…

[keen loom]

Sorry. The servers can’t handle the strain over 4 days. Since Scopley won’t invest in fixing the things that matter, which naturally would allow for longer duration/more complex events.

They have to keep up the same boring, broken events, and force feed them to the mass, with some name changes.

That way they can spend creative doll hairs on fluff and cameo appearances.

[severe burrow]

heck it puts more pressure on the servers and their network trying to run incursions all at once then splitting it out like they use to have it

[bronze axle]

The new attempt at speeding up chest claims seems to take longer. By the time I wait for the chest to spin and process claim, disappear, and return to the previous menu it takes forever. If I try to click back too early I get to click the okay button anyway. Or if I click back once and not the l next time it speeds up and takes me back all the way out. It’s tedious and needs some work.

[crimson elm]

As a 145 Agree give us an Incursions the ends in a merge but the wining side keeps their name and server number

[balmy shuttle]

Can Scopely please end the Preparing & Retrieving arc now? Getting rather irritating

[crimson elm]

its the same as the constant Check your Internet connection that happens. They and we know its not our internet connection, all the time, but they wont do jack about it

[violet elm]

Right? I mean what’s there to be prepared? What are we being prepared for? 👀😄

[unique stump]

@rigid vapor Why do you decide to destroy our legendary server, we have proven our activity with all the victories. Let us decide to lose or win, to be 163 or 145. This should be a competition, not your decision.

[left whale]

Extremely disappointed we got shafted on officer badges this bp. They’re already such an extreme bottleneck it feels almost contemptful.

Ought to comp everyone their missing science and command badges, x2 if they bought the earth day bonus.

[muted shuttle]

Don’t hate everything, just the ever expanding paywalls that Scopes keeps putting up, also the last 4 Arcs have been 💩.

[carmine yew]

I really hate what ever you did to the Alliance Tournament task refreshes, i didnt think it could get any worse but you proved me wrong, if you cant make it better then at least change it back to what it was last tournament

[mild iron]

When it comes to tournament tasks could there be far less tasks to acquire Galactic Recruits, its nearly impossible for anyone to even be able to complete the task since typically there are no events that reward them and although you guys are great at screwing things up and having to give out compensation it still would take quite a number of screw ups for anyone to get enough field rations to be able to complete the task. or if its to much trouble to get rid of it maybe have it only come up once every 24 hours that way people don't have to try and refresh it and get it right back 2 or 3 times in a row. I mean I realize the only thing you guys seem to care about is how much money you can get people to spend but this is a task that no one can even spend money to finish.

[slender wraith]

Please 🙏 can we get a artifact slb. It's been months.

[devout harbor]

server 187 game unresponsive more than 10 seconds, ships getting locked in travel

[lean flicker]

Massive lag on apac 201

[trim skiff]

Loot chest summary (ALL chest summaries) flash up and are gone before you can even see what was in them. Please slow that down.

[silk charm]

settings>general>disable frequent game animations to off will revert that & some other places to their older, click intensive state, if you didn't know. but I agree it's net negative for chests for sure

[trim skiff]

Already on, but loot chests just flash, never get to see what I got

[silk charm]

sorry for putting it incorrectly - setting that to off is what you're looking for

[trim skiff]

Hmm, said that wrong. That setting is already applied, no effect. It IS off, but they still flash

[silk charm]

the setting at on is what causes the behavior you currently experience instead of the previous experience. it was added a few months back, but didn't include as many options as it does as of this month.

[trim skiff]

Animations ARE turned off. STILL having this problem, which is the reason for posting, lol

[finite mural]

Turning off animations is what causes it.

is what it should be set at

[trim skiff]

That setting is ON. Animations are Disabled. Chest summaries flash too fast to see

[finite mural]

yes, you have to change it to what is in the image to see your pulls

[trim skiff]

Well, no wonder. 180 degrees from what it says,lol

Thought turning that on would disable flash summaries

[fast anvil]

it gets kinda annoying when my game is laggin and crashes when there isnt anything wrong with my internet. i play other games and its perfectly fine but somehow when i play stfc it shows the flashing yellow wifi sign

[acoustic geyser]

Dear Scopely. No I don't have constant connection issues stop telling me I do and forcing me to reload. Thx

[carmine yew]

Ive had that aswell, i always turn the game on at around 10am and its on the screen till 4am without any issues but the last 2 days i have been getting connection issues and had to fully close down the game and reload to be able to log back in

[acoustic geyser]

4G / 5G? Connection issues maybe, depending on traffic and signal. Wifi? Same... kinda... but sitting 6 feet from the router should be no issue signal wise. Ethernet? on PC... Still an issue? I'm suggesting the issue is no longer me

[slender monolith]

The issue is either between the router and your ISP or between your ISP and the game servers, which are terribly fickle at times.

[acoustic geyser]

You say this like you know specifically the issue - the issue could be between the data server and the client, the issue could be between the game server and their own ISP. There's too many variables. I know for certain, that my 4G / 5G mobile network is not the same as my home broadband, or the broadband from my local library. Yet the same issue exists. And on multiple devices! It doesn't matter if it's my Gaming PC, my phone or my tablet, the issue persists. By virtue of exclusion, the issue must then exist with the game itself and it's parts, not with my own - Which can also be evidenced by no other games having issues in the same manner as this one

[carmine yew]

i play on PC and no dont have any issues, im fully connected on ethernet with everything else active on the other monitors. its just STFC and its only been the last 2 days iv'e ever seen a disconnect issue

[oak bobcat]

I went to settings and tried to sign in with Scopely and it fails. Means I can’t redeem codes. What can I do?

[humble mango]

The benefits of new "sliding animation" features of Disable Frequent Game Animations has been mixed for me. It's nice when you don't care to see what you got but if you do care about some specific claims it's cumbersome to go swap it in options.

One thing it was absolutely amazing for was claiming items without a cooldown. This however was changed, which makes sense for daily claims.

Having an option to switch "stay in bundle" would be great, as you could enable it if you are about to claim hundreds of bonus claims etc. This of course wouldn't be needed if there were good slider options, but those have been asked for before.

[valid ridge]

Heh. I wonder if they're running out of ideas with all the primes they have had to make icons for lol

[plain dune]

If you want people to advance, remove the barriers. Like territory. Most higher levels don't need it anymore, but a lot of high level alliances use it as a status symbol, so they'll take 2 3*s, preventing others from getting the particles needed. So, reduce the max number of territory to 3 or 4, let more smaller alliances be able to get on the board.

Ex-borg and Archives were great additions to help with the grind, but a similar mechanic should be available to lower levels to allow them to advance quicker.

Reduce cool down timers and other barriers you put in to artificially control progress.

[spark lodge]

Anyone else notice the refresh tasks on alliance tournaments just brings back the same task again and again - what’s the point? And the ‘acquire’ tasks are ludicrous- you can even buy some of those volumes

[jolly gust]

significant issue with ships not actually warping

[elder grove]

There is a STFC data base. Are you associated with this? It needs to list the research tree.
And since the RT has been growing, I know this to be a tough job.
Anyway I was looking for 5* explorer weapontry as I now have a requirement to get that, and can not find and don;t know where to look.
Do any of you?

looks like it lists the tree & position to me

[slender monolith]

I simply mean the issue is almost never likely to be your wifi or ethernet, but on the WAN side of the router, unless you have a particularly dodgy router.

[elder grove]

It is part of 'Our time is running out'. I'm lvl 53 new from 52
Thanks I never saw that list. Thanks, FOUND IT!

[plain dune]

I'll also add more to this. Dramatically increase the amount of research/building speed reduction exo drops, or decrease build times throughout, or drop a ton of speedups.

Also, keep running that long duration spend sms, and probably pair the slb with it to replace the weekend ones. Many players wait to upgrade or spend material until there is an event, which is a larger problem... You have trained everyone to hoard and hold to wait for a random event that may need them.

Unless you commit to not running those events again, it is really hard to turn the fomo around. (I still hoard my officer recruits and shipxp, because ya never know...)

[analog burrow]

am i... the only one being thrown into the store when trying to access the event store?...

[silk charm]

seems to be going around, but relaunching the game client usually fixes it for people

Can you make the way awards are presented switchable in the settings? I can’t tell what I’ve gotten when they just fly off the screen. The previous method was better for me.

[kindred lotus]

Wondered if you had activated the “you thought this was slow… how low can we go” prime…

[plain marsh]

but wait we have a hot fix to brake it more for you lmao 🤣

The Scopely Team is working hard on it to solve our probs and lags😉

Won't let me in deep space systems. Says I need to unlock a path. Can't recall Feesha - says it is docked - while it is actually in Anders. Going back to bed, lol

[opaque pebble]

Wow, it's really unplayable today.
Why it is so hard to make first Bugfixing / deleting the old stuff and then bring new content?

[polar crane]

This is a completely useless way of showing what you received in your chest pulls. Sometimes you want to know what was in there and this probably only saves 2 seconds from how it used to be so it is very minimal time savings.

[wise notch]

How about listening to players request for fixing bugs?

[unreal acorn]

There's a setting to change it back

I found this particle picture with 2 different names. It's called Prime Cosmic Particle for G3-G5 Research Efficiency in Station Research and Prime Junking Speed in Galaxy Research and it's called Omega Prime in Prime Critical Strike in Combat Research.

I thought I had been cheated after buying Prime Cosmic Particles and wasn't paying attention to the names.

That's because the majority of us have given up reporting anything.

[keen loom]

Generally speaking - if you haven’t noticed, by the total lack of engagement on the topic, any bug fixes will be scheduled the second Tuesday of every week.

[keen loom]

For sure. That was all the bonus Earth day stuff was too. Sorta was funny to me that Scopley celebrated Earth day by offering bonus purchases that negatively impacted the earth. Have to add that to the long list of head stretchers. For sure, those extra purchases didn’t drive extra natural resource use, fueling/cooling data centers etc.

Fabulous way to celebrate Earth day!

#winning

[keen loom]

It’s not that bad. All you have to do is claim, restart the game, pray you got the task, complete the task, claim reward. Rinse and repeat for every task, for a 5 day event.

I mean hey, we shouldn’t complain. Waves have been around longer than AT, and Scopley still can’t figure out, or doesn’t care to fix needing to restart for every single wave, not to mention the rubber banding that happens in each wave.

Have to remember - since Scopley doesn’t want to acknowledge these things they must be working as intended.

[reef creek]

starting an event 7 hours into the day? Will we get credit for syndicate XP claimed today before the event went live?

( of course not )

[keen loom]

Falls into the nope on a rope category.

[delicate kite]

you know what would be great... if they would implement some sort of currency exchange for useless items that just bloat up our inventory....

[surreal condor]

It's been requested (many times) but we keep asking. One day....

[keen loom]

Don’t hold your breath!

[clear perch]

Max for solo wave, kill first three hostiles. Que the remaining three, scanning..... And the game doesn't refresh, restart game on my phone, doesnt work, finally get in and I'm dead. Thanks scopley as always for the great game experience

[limber mesa]

there isn't.
there is an option to change it back to the behavior from months ago, but not to the previous behavior.

and the current behavior is massively inconsistent, even between multiple clicks of the exact same redeem.

[unreal depot]

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the game ? I haven't been able to access it, since yesterday

[fickle badge]

Anyone else finish the season and all the events but not get the overflow?

[ruby moat]

Hey Scopely, everytime I click on anything in the Arena it locks up. Server 72

[limber steeple]

are we the only ones with persistent 2 false positive alliance helps?

[hexed rose]

Can you please sort out the blatant hacking of the game by certain "players". Or is it Scopely themselves? A few months saving to attack Kremin and I get one go! This will go the way of EVE, World of Tanks and some others I've never bothered with.

[boreal ferry]

nah we’ve had that since yesterday

[fast anvil]

not sure if it was mentioned before but can the auto scroll feature scroll to the latest completed research that was done when we click on the same tree as the finished research. its quite tiring to scroll so many rows so just to reach the end of a research tree

[native adder]

@tidal notch @rigid vapor #💬-general-feedback message

Still nothing direct to the affected servers, no date confirmed, no response to my post.

[peak charm]

@rigid vapor why do you charge so much for the packs. Are you that hard up for money ?

[brazen prism]

It's getting really annoying that you get (friendship)contact requests from troll people (who are also members of the same discord page) via the official discord page of Star Trek Fleet Command. Scopely does nothing about fake/troll accountants. All removed last two weeks four of those trolls

[opal orchid]

Can you please fix the indicators, especially refinery, so they are not always on even after you've claimed the items?

[fast anvil]

please stop making me do storage research to continue on with other research, they're so useless especially ops50+

[rich turret]

Great, the lag is so bad, the Prime Valor Emblems I just bought at the Tournament store, qty 5, failed to show up in research area even after two restarts, which they took for ever to even restart

[split coral]

Getting lag on 188 in surges. Was even booted out with the 'check your internet connection' BS

[keen loom]

This is the gold standard. S36 hasn’t been able to wave reliably in months, rubber banding is a constant issue, and let’s not even start talking about broken arena match making.

Just keep a list for yourself of broken content, requests to fix things that go unanswered, and you will then identify what Scopley cares about.

Clue: it’s not players.

[opal orchid]

And while your at it, fix the stuck ships.

[fast anvil]

how long is the list of things they gotta fix 😅

[wooden spire]

Lag. Adjusting, activating, preparing. Circles spinning for ages after choosing something in faction store. Lag. When is enough going to be enough.

[crimson elm]

While I thank you Scopley for giving us incursions instead of a Bye during merge. I urge you to reconsider the parings, let 163 and us in 145 battle it out for the Name and Server number. As a merge war

[fast anvil]

spam their inbox, actually, get your whoole server to 😂

[sinful walrus]

Good to see the devs maintaining the standard 😂

[carmine sage]

Good morning. Scopelly, could you please pay attention to the ranking list for server 709? Several players and alliances from other servers are mixing in the rankings on 709 and this is affecting our statistics. Are you aware of this bug?

[spare hedge]

@tidal notch why does the event store end in 1 day when the new S31 Meta SMS has a 5-day timer and pays out event store currency?

[slow elbow]

Can we tighten pvp brackets?! Getting hit ny 69s is not fun.

[junior lava]

<@&509690795536941056> do we have now incursion and not a merge? Server163 confused

[crimson elm]

As above <@&509690795536941056> Clarify. Dont make me regret saying in Revs Survey that there has been Ok communication. This would be POOR communication

[elder pollen]

A simple announcement re status of event store would prevent us all from coming here asking the same questions (or not bothering and going off to do something else).

An acknowledgment re Abilakk tc takeovers not scoring points would also be nice.

[dense steppe]

<@&509690795536941056> can we get some clarification on why the merger was postponed and when it was postponed to? Also if the servers will still be merge with the same servers that were posted?

[uneven karma]

<@&509690795536941056> not sure you guys at scopely realise how much work has been done by alliances for this server merge for it to now be delayed!!?!? The communication for this is atrocious! Are the same servers merging? How long is the delay?

[nocturne jasper]

The site has some lag

[tidal notch]

Working on getting an annoucnement up.

[exotic depot]

So mergers are postponed and incursions pairing is the same as last incursions. What did scopely screw up this time?

[vague jacinth]

Maybe the fact that mother nature messed up the lives of the ppl living on the Iberian peninsula has something to do with it? And less about them screwing things up?

I would still put money on somebody at scopely screwing something up 😅

[toxic star]

A year and a half playing the game, a year and a half my field training has been borked and I've been unable to complete it. I report every few months, and at OPS 61, they send me compensation of 30x April Choice Rewards... What am I gonna do with 2 3* UC Crystal/Gas/Ore, and 17 2* UC Crystal/Gas/Ore? (*3 tokens)...

[slow elbow]

Where is the promised comp chest? No chakotay as promised

[keen loom]

Working as intended. Bug number 432. No fix planned. Ever.

[vague jasper]

So after not touching the ExoComp Factory building for a very long time I decided it’s time to find this so I can get it upgraded. After no luck I began asking around and was told that it was something that was never implemented and just left to forget about. So now it seems that this building is essentially dorked at 51 and cannot be upgraded further? What the fluffy unicorn is going on here? Is there truly no plan on adding it. So lazy and short sighted. 🤦‍♂️

[rose spear]

So far, that is where it truly stands. The game designers though have been told very clearly that people are clamoring for this to be revisited and the key to be released.

[fast anvil]

would love to see a f2p route for this

[toxic anvil]

Yes, with armada speedup, this prime is not very useful

[harsh valve]

Just curious... But where's this in the game?

[fast anvil]

1. good for arenas
2. can do multiple armadas in different systems
3. can solo a formation armada if youre big enough 🤣

[hallow sleet]

Doesn't exist 😅

[cloud lantern]

please scedule the warroom as a weekly thing. by doing so you would reduce the time it takes to max the building from 12 years to only 3. 3 years is still a huge timespan and it wont even degrade the prime you are selling for additional sourcing.
<@&509690795536941056>

[limber mesa]

that looks like a star trek mod for FTL: Faster Than Light...

[thick flax]

<@&509690795536941056> the cooldown chest on DTI chests is absolutely not fair to late adopters of the loop. it has been 3 months now to the start of that loop and some players have already taken the advantage of zero cooldown and maxed the Artifacts/FT/CT. this is utterely unacceptable.

[light apex]

Why add cooldown to someting. This adds another non Quality of Life as is another timer to watch/match.

[coarse cape]

Yes, what STFC needs is more cooldowns and roadblocks to progression.

[warped willow]

#⭐-official-announcements message

This change is actually crazy imbalanced since people who got access to it already have already been able to exploit it, taking it away will directly disadvantage everyone else.

[merry hornet]

I agree. I have nearly maxed and unlocked all of these. You are just feeding whales.

[grave quest]

wE aRe gOiNg tO mAkE gAmE bETtEr! unga bunga. tIMe oUt mAkE bAlEncE. pLaYeRs lIkE bAlaNcE unga bunga

[jaunty fog]

Well that was a stupid move <@&509690795536941056> , DTI cooldowns don't make any sense as you already have mechanisms in place to force people either to run out of loot very fast, or to spread out their DTI loot as it's a finite resource. Bad choice on an already garbage grind.

[naive oak]

Thanks for making the game even more imbalanced now... so what your saying is the people that have been able to pull up until yesterday on the dti store are fine but anyone going forward you arnt going to be able to compete unless you pay... Jesus guys this is making the gulf between the have and have nots even bigger <@&509690795536941056>

[proven hound]

@raw fiber this is such a farce!

[latent timber]

I hope this feature will be reversed asap. Its just ridiculously pointless and annoying

[grand bison]

<@&509690795536941056> what a stupid move to put these Cooldowns on all DTI pulls? How am i supposed to even spent my currency then? You have to increase the pull size then.

[hollow ridge]

100%. This is so dumb....

[fallow lake]

So, you give all the spenders who bought artifact gallery upgrades an advantage, but leave the rest of us behind and call that a balance improvement!?

[warm gulch]

lol after many player use dti thinks... now this... think that should be at the beginn not between... that istnt very helpful for bslancing

[thick flax]

tldr;

the whales have finished the DTI loop, now lets put cooldowns and really make it imbalanced by slowing the progression of f2p

[warped willow]

@raw fiber What happened to transparency? I don't remember these changes being discussed.

[merry hornet]

You should just say you made a mistake and undo it. Total huge screw up. Fix it now.

[hallow spoke]

Anything to put the screws to players

[drifting coral]

This gatekeeps the non spenders. As they have already long maxed these things, can't upset the whales bob. Scopley 101🤣

[naive oak]

If I have grinded for the currency isn't that the barrier to entry if I have the currency let me have what I want

[latent timber]

They wanna sell more packs during tournament because artifact gallery lv 60 owners could get almost all their tasks from temporal exchange

[proven hound]

@raw fiber <@&509690795536941056> this feedback after 5 mins should get you reverse already… sometimes I have the feeling you guys just think on how to annoy your customers instead of taking care about all the bugs (only mentioning AT farce)…

[glass horizon]

Added cooldowns now? This is terrible, why now after all these months and the spenders have gotten what they want. This is a dreadful decision, you are just screwing over the casual players.

[languid thunder]

#freetheDTI

The whales are not happy at all either, know a couple people over on the whale server and I guess they are going ape 💩 over it.

Dozens of bugs to be fixed but more interested in making the game harder for f2p players. Madness

[quick coral]

#⭐-official-announcements message

So, let me get this straight... because the big spenders abused your mistake, you will make the rest of us progress super slow on these items because the spenders didn't spend the right amount and blew through that content?

[keen cloud]

Blatant ripoff of the game FTL

[mossy acorn]

Awful Awful Awful

[woeful nymph]

You don't let something run for months then suddenly add a cooldown. This is complete trash.

[hallow spoke]

Sometimes you have to think of the little guy. Moves like this drive them away. You may not think it would affect you that much on the bottom line however if your spenders have nobody really left to play with they take their money elsewhere

[warped willow]

#⭐-official-announcements message

If you're not making enough money with the current content at least add more content for people to spend on, don't try to force people to spend on content that others already got for free.

[acoustic geyser]

You call this "balance" - this is anything but balance. Bring back the balance with the removed cooldowns how it was and should be. You've set the precedent for this now you can't go back on this.

[naive oak]

Don't worry about the arena matching that would fix balancing. And how to make the pvp a bit more balanced.

The dti cooldowns that what the players really want us to change that will make all the difference

[hollow ridge]

Possible other balance changes to consider:

• max number of mirror rep grinds per day
• max number of armadas you can run per day
• Faction ship BP cooldowns

I mean, if we are bumbling right into frustrating players by messing with existing content, just go all the way. That's three primes right there. "Prime Pre-Existing Mirror Runs", "Prime Unlimited Armadas", etc etc

[maiden pilot]

As others have said, this can be translated to "our whales got what thrh wanted, so screw all the rest of you peons". And any argument to the contrary by scopely is 100% gaslighting.

[plain dune]

Balance progression... Yet 70s can still hit 40s. Uhuh.

[woeful nymph]

Speaking of balance, perhaps it's time to rebalance spending habits in a different direction.

[hallow spoke]

Don't give them ideas!!!

[tribal osprey]

@tidal notch hey scopely, stop talking about balancing, instead say openly and honestly that you despise the f2p scum and want to make their lives difficult.

[warped willow]

<@&509690795536941056>, I know you don't know the history here, but the fact that I agree with this person on anything, for the first time in years... That should say something. 😛

[vivid frigate]

Balance made by scopely: Let the people progress fast through various stuff and then hinder all to catch up. Nice DTI change. Much wow. So trolling. April 1st is long gone, by the way.

[zinc terrace]

Using up all that good arc/good event store social currency all at once I see. <@&509690795536941056>

[woeful nymph]

You should have just reduced the impulse cap to fix the cooldown issue.

[balmy oyster]

Wow adding cooldown. what a good idea.

[opal crane]

This is such trash. This isn't an improvement in any capacity. What whale complained that triggered this?

[jaunty prism]

LMAO you guys finally went back to change something that wasn't the current arc and this is what we get? All the stuff that's totally broken, nah won't touch it. But this? Oh yeah

[zinc terrace]

Show me on the vip discord where the whale touched you.

[vivid frigate]

Let's hope the cooldowns are somewhat reasonable. Something like 1 chest per week or month would be sufficient.
DTI is now another dead project. I still wait for the return of the event to upgrade the building to level 20 by the way.

[warped willow]

Alliance Tournaments were so messed up this last time. Tasks wouldn't disappear when you remove them. The issue wasn't even addressed as far as I could tell. But sure let's leave it broken and fix something that wasn't even broken instead. 🤷

[opaque blaze]

I'ed like the blank screen fixed that was added when you first launch research so I can know quicker which prime I need to buy to advance the new research qol

[acoustic geyser]

Oi none of that (come back to it later) we're all up in arms over cooldowns

[upbeat meteor]

<@&509691205798592532>

Hello,

The research ship is the jewel of the Federation, but apparently there is no crew for pvp that is good enough to stand up to a battleship or interceptor...
Can you introduce a bit of balancing?

[woeful nymph]

Since we are going back and balancing things. Where's our Mantis Comp <@&509690795536941056> ?

[dusky yew]

Just what players want scoply " not"... A cooldown to take forever to get usable officers. The limiting factor was credits to exchange for them, now its back to years and better officers introduced before f2p get usable officers tiered

[jade vine]

So now we will have tons of useless credits and no way to spend them fast enough

[quick coral]

Yes... Wave Defense crashing with some regularity during the first wave and making players lose the defense because the game can't reload in time is TOO MUCH OF AN ISSUE, but no cooldown on DTI bundles... THAT needs addressing....

[jaunty fog]

And as everyone sees, <@&509690795536941056> has been tagged several times, @raw fiber is showing online, but yet not a peep, even though the community is NOT happy about this change. They don't want feedback, they want pats on the back.

[queen ridge]

Is that new feature broken? We can fix that later
Does it benefit players? Burn everything!

[zinc terrace]

Isn’t it coming up on 100 days after the relativity was released? Perhaps this was because there’s about to be a ton more in the game and also a bunch of extra currency floating around? <@&509690795536941056> how about addressing everyone here. I wonder if the arc grading sheet is still up. I have some feedback.

[vivid frigate]

I wonder where I've seen that.. Voyager hirogen skulls? No... fatu kray scrap? Naaahh... where was it...

[opaque blaze]

it's on cooldown

[kind rampart]

Really bad change. Hope it gets reverted right now. It was one of the best things about the DTI store that there were no cooldowns

[woeful nymph]

Funny, my Credit Card is also suddenly on cooldown...lol

[hallow spoke]

The fact the <@&509690795536941056> are silent proves the point that none care what the players have to say. Can't even take time to blow smoke up our tushies

[keen loom]

You can’t be serious. The player base has asked for fixes FOR MONTHS:

Wave lag and crashes
Rubber banding in numerous systems
AT bugs including
-broken AT store
-broken task refresh
-broken reward store

General event store directing players to pay store 1 out of two times (video provided)

TC Lag

Instead of taking care of absolutely any one of these items you decide to implement a cool down on DTI faction boxes?

How is this not a slap in the face to every person that has taken time to provide feedback?

Sell the game or get a team that gives two cents about players.

<@&509690795536941056>

[vivid frigate]

By the way .. on a personal note here. Many Supporters told me already, I am not engaged enough for the better treasury rewards. Can any <@&509690795536941056> tell me, how much money I have to pay to receive them? Thanks.

#🌌-galaxy-chat message

Also, folks should remember Community Managers are just the Scopely punching bags that the overlords would rather you get angry at and vent all of your frustrations at vs taking action by encouraging your whales and dolphins to stop spending. Scopely Overlords only listen to the sound of credit card being inserted. I'm positive the CMs are banging on the doors of their bosses Teams chat to figure out what the heck they're supposed to tell the angry mob.

I do not envy OH or Simpauly's job.... Some of y'all over here about to storm the Scopely Capitol lol

[grave hawk]

Don't forget the kir shara... The works just enough to screw you in the backside. You go to mirror space or some place to grind, try to do something else and you'll see unless you have the noise on for the game, you won't notice that it's not working anymore and there's a whole bunch of ships in there. You can't Target anymore. But we don't fix that, we're going to fix something that might benefit people even if it was an accident.

[dreamy latch]

Cooldown added to existing dti store items is absurd, the ones who have earned these without cooldowns benefit even more because it’ll take longer for those without it to get them. Cooldowns like this should be reserved to new items in my opinion. Comes across as another cash grab - if you want to catch up quicker you need to pay for it

[keen loom]

So desperate for money Scopley has become. That is 💯 all the DTI cooldown does is encourage spending.

I can’t even begin to accurately describe the dissent and disgust I and Im quite sure MANY others feel towards Scopley, the avenues for feedback - and their ineffectiveness and general ineptitude to accurately convey the level of frustration with how this game is managed.

[livid stone]

They have a choice to not work for heartless robots with not a single care for their customer base. Sorry, while I know the CMs don’t create these issues - they choose to work for evil overlords 🤣

[raw fiber]

hi!

Im here now

[silent gorge]

Well done starting a Scopely "storm the capital" moment for screwing F2P after letting spenders run rampant for months

[steel acorn]

RIP lol

[umbral thistle]

this is the worst part, closing the barn door after the horse has already bolted springs to mind. widen the gap further

[wide cloak]

Rome is burning. 70s are considering quitting over the continued lag and lack of effort to fix it. Yet Scopely plays its fiddle adding cooldowns in the name of balance that only cements the imbalance that has existed for months.

[foggy elm]

I'm mostly done with the DTI loop, but this is a major disadvantage to anyone who hasn't. It will take them 10x as long as those that came before.

[tulip sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-happy-excited-attack-gif-20999425

[raw fiber]

Apologies for the late response! I completely understand the frustration right now. Unfortunately, I can’t be in multiple channels at once OR can I?????????

[hollow ridge]

For balance changes, you can only be in one channel at once.

[jaunty fog]

You can jump back and forth between channels.

[raw fiber]

I'll be ultra simpauly next time

[opal crane]

I'm pretty sure none of these rioters are going to find the jokes funny 😂

But I'm here for the show, so it's encouraged 🤣

[vivid frigate]

Switching channels should have a 24h cooldown... 😄

[dreamy latch]

£49.99 to speed up

[bleak onyx]

I dont comment very much but scoply need to be lowering cool downs not adding cool downs

[raw fiber]

I'm pretty sure im super smoked right now

[keen loom]

How about you be the voice of the voiceless. We don’t care how hard it is to be in multiple channels. Perhaps the number of channels need to be reduced, or maybe, just maybe Scopley should do something about actual player feedback, then it wouldn’t be a dumpster fire in every channel.

[hallow spoke]

You have an angry community. This is the feedback channel. And you let it go by. So how are players supposed to feel? We already know what we think doesn't matter. So maybe getting sarcastic is not the best policy you think? Shockingly players want answers. Not snarky sarcasm.

[timber root]

Well, I had already half abandonned the krenim loop, guess I'll just completely abandon it now.

[mellow cave]

Maybe they will implement a cooldown on the ability to relog back in if you get disconnected from a solo wave . Cooldown next login allowed 24 hours later.

[raw fiber]

that’s exactly what I’ve been doing since the minute the announcement went out, gathering all this feedback to share.

[tulip sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/beaker-clone-copy-whats-going-gif-9589518

[raw fiber]

hey peeps, I know it’s tough, but I assure you that your concerns don’t was not lost in the shuffle.

[cyan torrent]

Scopely knew exactly what the feedback would be before the change was made. And yet here we are.

[silent gorge]

Maybe if there was some transparency and discussion beforehand you wouldn't have this dumpster fire 🤷🏻‍♂️

[jaunty fog]

It really does make the community feel like the community managers really don't care about feedback. I would say its more important to be visible in the feedback channels then galaxy chat when there is a dumpster fire going on.

[idle vigil]

It would be one thing if this is how the chest pulls were from the beginning. But you have LOTS of players the used these to max things, and now you are DENYING those players just getting into DTI the same opportunity.

[wide cloak]

the community managers care about feedback... the accountants do not.

[raw fiber]

I’ll definitely make sure we’re more visible where it matters most. Thanks for bringing this up buddy

[dreamy latch]

Feedback is simple, adding a cooldown to existing items is unfair only on those that have not got those items yet, it increases the gap between the players who have them and those who don’t. Cooldowns should be added to new items from the start, not weeks/months after they’ve been introduced

[woeful rapids]

then stop making the game worse and make improvements, all the stuff that's broken and you go and remove one of the few good things about the game, absolutely mental

[opal crane]

I wish MBS would sell Scopely to Larian. That way there would be thoughtful development and changes that occur. Heck, EA may be better than Scopely 😂

[shut aurora]

Balance is fine but PLEASE GIVE US MORE NOTICE

[keen loom]

You can’t under any circumstance have thought this was going to be received any way other than it has been. The devs couldn’t have either. So was this a “let’s see what we can get away with fix?”

Fix the things the players care about. Said it before. It’s not rocket science. Player satisfaction drives revenue. The opposite is also accurate.

[umbral thistle]

balance months after people have been using it to max artifacts and then to swipe it out from everyone else isnt ok.

[vivid nebula]

We will get a lame compo chest, a pat on the head and I promise we’ll do better statement till the next dumpster fire announcement

[main dagger]

What is this nonsense. Extremely disappointing. I mean you guys are really making it easy to quit and stop spending.

Hey Commander,

As part of ongoing game balance improvements, we've added a cooldown to the following DTI chests:
• Janeway's pocket watch
• Chronophage
• Chrono Deflector
• Krenim Time Weapon
• Hugh + leslie officer chest
• Khan + leslie officer chest
• Byr shards
• Vael shards
• Tolra shards
• Toli shards

This change helps keep progression balanced by smoothing out how quickly chests like those containing artifacts and Temporal Disruptors can be earned through DTI Credit exchanges.

LLAP,

[drifting coral]

🤔 it's almost like there should be more than one community manager on to handle feedback when you ping the entire server with nerfs and trying to disguise it as a good thing.

[wide cloak]

make the devs handle community management after every change. it'll be fun for them.

[raw fiber]

You’re right that the reception was always going to be tough. This wasn’t about pushing something through just to “see what we can get away with,” but rather trying to address a system that was creating imbalances.

I also completely agree that fixing what matters most to players is key. We are working actively on every known issues

[idle vigil]

I mean, it's been this way for MONTHS. Not days, not weeks, MONTHS.

[raw fiber]

and I'm a dev for a day?

[keen loom]

Sorry. I do not buy that for a moment. DTI has been around how long?

Remind me - how long have we been complaining about AT, waves, lag?

Answer: FAR longer than DTI has been around.

[limpid dragon]

@raw fiber How was it creating imbalances? I'm a almost f2p player and UTI refinery has helped alot in maxing all my temporal artifacts, if I could do this anyone could

[unborn swallow]

Just remove the ability to pull the artefacts once you have them maxed
, rather than putting them on cooldown.

A simple but fair solution which then allows players to get it and not then abuse the temporal Artefact loop for tournaments as that’s what this is really a nerf for.

[silent gorge]

But this isn't addressing an imbalance at all, it's just making a major imbalance between those that got to spend and max during the first 3 months and those that haven't gotten there yet

[acoustic geyser]

Not trying to be rude, but I very very much doubt what you just said

[woeful rapids]

are you though? Because we see this nonsense constantly, there are a huge number of issues with game stability and functionality, yet we only ever seem to hear from you when you've got some naff announcement to make about something that's either not been asked for, or something that is just gonna make players mad. Now more than ever, you need to pause the release schedule where you churn out a new ship every month, and fix the friggin game!!

[jaunty fog]

By "trying to address a system that was creating imbalances" they broke the system, because everyone that maxed it before is still maxed, and the rest of us are screwed. I say this as some who's entire job revolves around resolving customer issues.....Scopely does a very poor job of it. There are SO many known issues, and yet this is what they put effort into?

[vivid nebula]

“Fixing what matters most” lol we’ve been raising issues for months and months and months and get ignored, gaslit, promised quality over quantity which you couldn’t even do, instead new loop, lame 1 trick wonder ships, screwed players over, the list goes on and on

[runic whale]

It's as if scopely have gone from "let's make life harder for F2P and light spenders" to "let's actively drive them away".

If they keep this trend up the game is gonna consist of servers with a handful of whales and thousands of dead accounts, at which points the whales will also get bored and quit.

If you guys spent half as much time working on actual fixes as you do on making up ways to disguise blatant cash grabs, we'd actually have a decent game to play.

[unborn ether]

"fixing" it ~1week after it was released cause it as a "bug"/not intended is ok, but now after all this time is just ridiculous

[fast needle]

#FreeDTI

[foggy elm]

#FreeDTI

[ancient sandal]

want to balance the game? put in a monthly spending limit or remove the store completely everything else is just more bs to milk the money...

[hollow ridge]

A system where you got to quickly max out all temporal artifacts after getting your DTI faction rep high enough? And complete 10k AT tasks for free? Here I thought it was a nice player reward and something that I looked forward to and then took advantage of, and talked up quite a bit to my ~100 person alliance. And I did not buy DTI rep packs, but I did buy the relativity.

I was actually pretty happy with how the faction worked out, but now you've snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

[vale wasp]

Spamming isn't allowed here, whether individually or collectively.

[jade vine]

What is happening now is your closing this and creating more imbalance because all the spenders already used it and are done with the artifacts. So now all the free and light spenders will not have same opportunity. So isn’t closing this and “balancing it”. Unbalancing it?

[wide cloak]

the cat was out of the bag. the imbalance was there for months and now you've locked it in. it is the opposite of what you are saying as there is no ability for others to catch up quickly which by definition means this change is meant to hurt those that didn't take advantage.

[agile slate]

Yet another imbalanced change that no one asked for. Much like the arenas speed cap...arenas are still broken with lag and ships desyncing.
Just leave the dti alone as this change makes it worse.

[keen loom]

@raw fiber explain it to me like I’m a two year old:

simple fact - there is already at least a triple limiter on those boxes:

• you only get 1 start for krenim solos each day.
• you need at least 2 of each type, at level, to get a max pull of credits
• a max pull of credits only got you ~60 of each artifact (with not much left over)

so for the average player, you weren't going to magically be able to buy hundreds of these boxes each day.

you are split between charged and static - you are limited by the number of credits per 22h pull. Except for the very, very rare few, this cooldown is more an annoyance of another button to push daily, but you already had to push other buttons in here anyway.

So now add a cooldown to all that and explain to me how this isn’t a cash grab, and pure greed.

[limpid dragon]

#FreeUTI

[hallow spoke]

How was imbalance being created? And how does this fix it? You now have created a much larger gap between the haves and have nots. The logic is flawed. It is more smoke and mirrors behind the actual likely reason of if we take it away they will spend.

[opal crane]

See, this was a funny response, you should at least get SOME type of positive response to it 😄

[woeful rapids]

Also, why have several events encouraging people to spend as many DTI credits as possible, then all of a sudden decide it's an imbalance that needs to be addressed? You all schizophrenic or something??

[fast needle]

Its because f2p are getting relas now, and hence more currency, cant have the peasants getting the good stuff

[grave hawk]

That is the most disingenuous combination of words I have read on this discord. They are not. There's no reasonable way anyone could come to that conclusion. So many things haven't been fixed over many years.

[molten jungle]

This isn’t a fix, it’s just punishing any player that didn’t get their temporal artifacts maxed quickly.

*I maxed them. This just seems unfair to others.

[frosty kindle]

They were made well aware of this "imbalance" months ago.

They waited till now after spending has changed to slow down the F2P players even more.

This is another attempt to force more spending initially on arcs to keep up.

[drifting coral]

Removing the item when you hit the max number, be it artifact, ship skin or ship bps. How is this difficult to do when it's been done numerous times before? But take away a feature that people have bought into, great job. Looks like I'll never buy a ship with a refinery/faction tab again. #Pinkslipparty

[umbral thistle]

this doesnt fix the imbalance that some people used this mechanic to max temporal artifacts and now its been pulled from everyone else creating a bigger imbalance than if they had left it in the first place

[topaz ruin]

RIP the best store in the game and what I was hoping was going to be how others were going to be modeled in the future. Needing to wait 3 months when you have enough credits to get it now is just ridiculous. I won't buy something I know I can get for free even if it takes time to get it, so it won't prompt me to suddenly go buy it.

[hollow ridge]

Pulled a week before F2P relativity's will be appearing in the wild.

[keen loom]

Here is some serious feedback, which will be ignored:

give the players a release schedule for the next 6 rolling months that INCLUDES what FIXES are scheduled and when. Stick to it. Again not rocket science, but guaranteed to appease some of the player base, so we KNOW fixes ARE coming, and that we’re not being ignored.

[dreamy latch]

Interesting that these cooldowns are introduced in the DTI store around the time when players who didn’t pay £99.99 for it will be getting their own Relativities to start getting these items

[acoustic geyser]

and that we’re not being ignored
Are you sure?

[woeful rapids]

no he shouldn't. They use humour entirely inappropriately, the company they're representing are enough of a joke as it is, their pathetic attempts to be humorous are a sign of just how delusional they are. How many times have we been told "we're working on the fixes" "quality over quantity" "we're listening to your feedback", all of it is utter tosh. They don't care about anything but the next half baked ship they release, that far too many people will mindlessly purchase just because they can't stand the idea of someone else overtaking them, this game is just FOMO with a graphical interface

[rapid lily]

this feels like when they "fixed" gaila back then. Scopely added a mechanic, people used what they had and scopely realized "ooops, we cant milk them as much as we want"

[proven hound]

@raw fiber <@&509690795536941056>

[opal crane]

Yeah, this is about as honest as Walmart saying they don't put the candy by the Cashier to encourage that last minute spending. Same as Scopely has never released "broken" things just to say "Oh, I guess we'll just give you the win" to buy credit from the community...... as we release an event that can ONLY be completed by having the Whip AT the increased speeds. Scopely isn't dumb. They know what they're doing.

[grand bison]

So what ist the thing that needed fixing? Taking away the possibility to max temporal artifact? As far as i can tell, all the newer ones don't use it anyway. To me it seemd like a good way to give people a way to finish up old content? The officers are to easy to get? It was said, they are supposed to be the new armada crew to get....so how im i ever going to max an epic officer with that low of a pull rate? Then there is no need to ever switch to them. Getting the CTs was to easy? Do I now get a refund of may packages for REP and Buildung, after you cut down the functionality? You basically voided all the transactions by changing the deal on your end afterwards.

[grizzled citrus]

good luck with that

[bleak onyx]

It's pretty convenient tho as people have pointed out just as f2p is about to get it they do this

[keen loom]

Further - if you want to balance DTI, award max artifacts to every player. Admit it was poorly designed, scrap the loop and move on. It’s the ONLY WAY to be fair to every player at this point. Take accountability, rather than passing it. <@&509690795536941056>

[jade vine]

<@&509690795536941056> can we get an increase in amounts we can pull a day if you are gonna put a cooldown on it. Compromise and don’t let us endlessly pull but get more. You give a ton of credits a day

[rare vale]

Dont kid yourselves, Scopely. No one thinks adding of cooldowns is an improvement or balancing. It's just another attempt to stiffle player growth/progression. You dont want that without players buying your ridiculously overpriced packs.

If you actually want to balance things, remove/shorten some of the cooldowns. Remove cap limits on things (example, how many ciphers or bells you can accumulate). Give the players more freedom of choice

[main river]

Nowhere near a relativity. Now will be nowhere near the artefacts either.

[molten jungle]

They had to “fix” something after the disaster the GS ship is.

[hoary gate]

There are no words in Romulan, Klingon or Terran to describe how utterly tone deaf the managers, game designers, and everyone even remotely connected to this decision, are.

[proven hound]

@raw fiber <@&509690795536941056> You guys should start a comedy show. Just before you realise that F2P players will have their relativity unlocked. Get this reversed ASAP and take care about the bugs instead of this nonsense

[opal crane]

lmao I'm the biggest Scopely critic, I rail on them at every opportunity lol But it was actually kind of a funny response. The problem isn't the Devs. It's not the Community Managers. It's the Scopely management team that drives decent people to do terrible jobs. People out here directly insulting this random guy who's job it is, to be the in between. It's like screaming at the customer service rep because your package isn't arriving on time on Christmas Eve. He's still a human being (Sim-prolly at least). Plus, encouraging all of this with conflict is what will keep the humor going as folks have their 'Storm the Capitol' moment.

[drifting coral]

Adding a regulation valve 3 months after opening the flood gate really ducking smart when the town below already built boats out of the wreckage of their homes.

[hollow ridge]

If you were in the government this would get you a promotion

[grizzled citrus]

the funniest part is they're pushing everyone to g5/g6 so they can release g7

[molten jungle]

Honestly, all this new content gets designed assuming people have these things unlocked and maxed which is nowhere close to reality. Even with adding some of these artifacts maxed, the elite waves are impossible. Maxed G5 epics and the 50s still wreck me on the very last hostiles. Anyway, I had just praised Scopely a week ago by making the Revenant and Relativity loops engaging as you actually feel progress, and now the Relativity loop is set back to the same trash as every other loop.

[pseudo wadi]

@everyone

Hey Commander,

As part of ongoing game balance improvements, we've added a cooldown to the following DTI chests:
• Janeway's pocket watch
• Chronophage
• Chrono Deflector
• Krenim Time Weapon
• Hugh + leslie officer chest
• Khan + leslie officer chest
• Byr shards
• Vael shards
• Tolra shards
• Toli shards

This change helps keep progression balanced by smoothing out how quickly chests like those containing artifacts and Temporal Disruptors can be earned through DTI Credit exchanges.

LLAP,
Simpauly

In other words spend more money or we'll take away all the free stuff.

[slim panther]

This element is why there is a lot of ill feeling towards the output that we get. Something was added to the game, which appears to have not been tested properly (as testing should show any issues / bugs / workarounds with it) and now, once more people are likely to be able to take advantage of a mechanism that has been a feature for months, they turn that off. People have taken advantage of it for a while. Does it affect other events - Yes. Does it make things easier for players that have done the relevant processes to maximise the feature - yes? "Balancing" it now only hurts those players who have not had a chance to take the advantage. Scopely should take the hit for this - they messed up weeks ago with the process, instead of fixing something that has been benefitting the players, why not, I don't know, fix some of the things that are a hinderance. I know - CRAZY idea!

[humble mango]

#⭐-official-announcements message Terrible change

1. Gives advantage to people who got to max most of the stuff before it.
2. Forces you to buy things daily making it a worse experience. For the epic officer shards specifically it doesn't even make it that much slower.
3. If you were hoarding them (which you incentivized with events) this might have slowed your progress and leave you with credits you can't really use.

[molten jungle]

Pretty much boils down to this. It’s also yet another slap in the face when it comes to arenas because the people that got these maxed have yet another advantage over everyone else.

[vivid nebula]

Love how people think there’s testing in this game 😆 we are the testers

[viscid ocean]

The "fix" is creating imbalance among the players.

[acoustic geyser]

We said we wanted less clicks. They saw clicks and thought it was a wonderful idea.. Now we got many many more clicks to get the things we want and need.

[idle vigil]

The content creators are going to have a FIELD DAY with this one. You think the backlash is bad now? ROFL

[wide cloak]

let's be real... someone at Scopely probably just realized how much money they lost out on with everyone getting these maxed through the DTI pulls instead of spending on packs. But unfortunately those that would have spent the money on it no longer need it, so it won't affect the bottom line - just anger the players that don't provide the revenue.

[opal crane]

It's not about sympathy. lol I read something funny, I laugh. none of us know the financial situation to be able to say whether folks are compensated well. I would assume they are, but customer service roles ALL around the world are paid terribly and keep doing the job despite that.

I've made several posts slamming them, including the ones where they just try and feed us straight up lies. There's a difference between calling Scopely on their 💩 and just treating some customer service rep like 💩 . It's why there has been so much churn in this role over the past several years. Why should anybody in the role WANT to be our advocate in the internal Scopely meetings if they're not even treated like humans by the community they are supposed to be advocating FOR?

Balancing their profit margin maybe.

[somber ledge]

That is exactly it. Very succinctly put. THAT is the feedback that needs to get to the Devs.

[grave hawk]

Some actuary probably did the math on how much it cost the company and that person probably got fired for letting it happen.

[molten jungle]

One of the best $100 I ever spent in this game (Rela). RIP *Yes, spending anything in this game is dumb.

[opal crane]

If it is spent in this game and it's the best 100 dollars you ever spent.... You are really bad with your finances 🤣

[odd prawn]

I think @raw fiber this is one of those updates that should have happened as soon as it was noticed or not at all. i can fully see why people are annoyed by this one.

I 100% get that you had nothing to do with this and that its not your fault at all....but its you we need to lead the charge to fix this as changing it this late in the game when FTP are just about to get access to these is bad form.

and that's from me who already has these (the ones I wanted) unlocked and maxed as far as they can be

[idle vigil]

Spot on. Doing this just DAYS before FTP gets the Relativity . . . that's not a coincidence.

[sacred crane]

Very unhappy with today's set of restrictions that mainly affect f2p players <@&509690795536941056>.

[woeful rapids]

trying to seed the idea in our heads that buying the ship on release is worthwhile in case they do something else like this in future, no doubt

[woven jay]

dti store credits are time gated, krenim starts are time gated there is absolutely no need for a third time gate

[hoary lynx]

So we are now keeping "progression balanced" by removing the ability of f2p to take advantage of something heavy spenders have been using for 3 months?

[cursive gale]

So just to reiterate here. Fix DTI back, this is ridiculous. I wasn't collecting Janeway Pocketwatch shards because I thought this was what was meant for DTI. I wanted to unlock Timely Investment as soon as I could so was avoiding spending any extra Charged than I had to beyond Syndicate, Sigma Speed Ups, and Realtivity BP. It is also blatantly obvious this was not done because of balance but because of how easy Temporal Disruptor Torunament Task became. Tournaments should have NEVER been a money method, it's meant for us to work as a team, and having pay only tasks doesn't encourage team work at all. Leave the pay to win stuff to the solo leaderboards and start encouraging team work in alliance stuff

[zinc terrace]

How has this change been allowed to persist longer than 2 hours? It should have already been done. This outrage is on par with #freegalia

[vast oyster]

#⭐-official-announcements message <@&509690795536941056> Roll back this BS, this is unfixing a good balancing and you are universally hated for putting things back into unbalance

[drifting coral]

A highly praised feature in a faction store you remove right before the broader player place gets a calhance at and didn't think you would get blowback there needs to be a #pinkslipparty to #freeDTI

[austere reef]

The cooldowns or lack thereof in DTI redeems was widely known amongst Scopely. If it takes 2 months versus 2 days:

1. you guys don’t have the beta test players or platform that are showing the extent one would use the proposed game design.

2. it’s disingenuous to say that this rebalances the game. I’m a g6 player. I’m actually less affected by the tournament aspect than g4/5. Most of those players I know aren’t using DTI as a focus for tourneys. They’re just trying to progress through the store options. Something for both PvE and PvP focused players.

Now they can’t get an officer like Tolra in a seemingly decent timeframe.

Unlocking relativity actually is its own cost. Progressing it actually cuts into spends elsewhere into faction store.

This hurts players more that haven’t been able to improve to really use the store to their benefit in the first two months.

What I’ve done in two months now will take someone starting with today’s changes (as a crude guess) 6 months at soonest.

[pure plover]

You are probably right, doing so wasn't about seeing what you could get away with. It was about punishing f2p players who didn't buy the ship and are now getting close to get it because clearly scopely aren't making enough

[grave quest]

adding kerosene to the fire i see…

[keen loom]

Not really. Follow the rules and provide feedback. It’ll still be ignored and nothing will change, except your right to be ignored is maintained.

[maiden pilot]

I know you are just the messenger, but while you can't say it, I really hope you don't actually believe that.

[silent gorge]

The ignoring is correct, especially when their rules are also set up to prevent collective response against Scopelys shortsighted decisions that penalize anyone that doesn't spend for each arc

[jade vine]

It forces people to evenly buy things to. Use all credits instead of speed do artifacts. Still thing the loot to credits refinery was gate enough

[grave quest]

reception would have been less angry had it not been dressed up as “balancing” which is such a blatant and clear lie that it is downright insulting. the least <@&509690795536941056> s can do is be honest with us. “a decision was made to add a cooldown … we know this will upset some players but it the decision makers feel it is the best for the community as a whole”. i mean, even that is BS but not insultingly so.

[keen loom]

Transparency is a premium, and not available in a pack. Just like game stability, and fixes.

[maiden pilot]

Especially since it's best for their whale community. You know the ones that scopely at least pretend to care about.

[rich furnace]

Tbh, if it takes months to do this "balancing", then can see why it takes even longer to fix something that requires actual effort like bug fixing...

[tidal notch]

I'm defenetly raising this point!

[golden violet]

almost 100 days f2p players get the ship for DTI

[jaunty warren]

any word on when the rewards for the level up event will be paid out? Y'all said next week when it broke last week but still haven't seen anything

[clever whale]

Us players just LOVE cooldowns.... ||not||

[drifting coral]

I suggest cooldowns for the cooldowns!

[jade vine]

I know you have no control but can they think on compromising with. Community and raising the number of chests for some things. Think people getting way more credits than realized they would when y’all launched this loop

[woven jay]

there is no excuse period for this being done without warning. after months of it being this way I felt safe sitting on my credits to use when I decided what to do with them. there has never been anything that was intended to have a cooldown in the several years I have been playing that wasn't corrected within hours or at most a day. the design was clearly relying on the other time gates in the loop and to add a cooldown four months later is ridiculous and without precedent.
there was no CD ever intended in the design and if it had some side effect in the alliance tournament then just take that task out and don't punish everyone sitting on credits for your lack of foresight and don't pretend that there is ANY balance in closing the barn door after the horse ran away three months before

[viscid ocean]

<@&509690795536941056> maybe Scopely can provide context around how this change keeps "progression balanced" instead of just using a vague phrase so we can understand why it's being made.

[molten jungle]

That task is small fries when you consider they'll at some point rerun the extra P2W AT. I'd rather that version never sees the light of day ever again.

[unborn halo]

Every known issue yet voyager mining nodes still bugged almost what 2 years after release and still voyager system that give errors and do t spawn mobs.

[pure plover]

It's a massive deal when you look at it from a F2P point, those who bought the ship have had a massive advantage for months, now people are close to getting it without paying for the ship, scopely now decide to "balance" things. So basically now that people are about to get the ship F2P and get more credits coming in, they change it so the people who didn't buy the ship who have waited months, now have an even longer time catching up

[tidal notch]

I've raised this and am seeing if there's anything I can get.

[hallow spoke]

I really do not see how it will balance things. It seems to punish those that did not open their wallets and buy the ship etc.

[somber ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/starwarsday-gif-5413758

[carmine marten]

Absolute garbage of a change to drop with zero warning after months of being out. Such blatant disrespect and a slap in the face to the player base. Just adding voice and a pitch fork to all the other well laid out reasons people have been offering here

[clever whale]

Changes like this don't make me want to spend more money or time on the game. They make me want to spend less.

Putting cooldowns on the DTI store will basically make me not want to move beyond Ops 42 for months, which seems antithetical to what Scopely has been pushing with the bonus refineries for G4.

My primary holdup for moving forward is already ship sourcing. Why? Because moving ahead of ships and then needing to catch them up is demoralizing. The ships seem to be terrible, but its just because you need to catch them up to where you are. Its more enjoyable to play less (and pay less) and keep everything you're doing up to snuff with your grind activities then have something you grinded months require you to do lesser activities to actually use the new ship in, or not use it for additional months while you catch it up.

So great work Scopes! I'll be sitting here not moving forward thanks to changes like this.

[fast needle]

A reversal of this slap in the face please!

[maiden pilot]

It doesn't matter. Scopely will just continue to gaslight us. This was done because most that didn't pay are about to get the ship. It was extremely intentional. Scopely thinks their f2p and low spending player base is not intelligent enough to see through the lies.

[warped willow]

Putting cooldowns on something that other players have had free reign on is not adding balance. There is no way to spin that, in any way which would add balance or remove imbalance. It's directly CREATING imbalance and is a BLATANT cash grab.

[jaunty fog]

You shouldn't have to raise this point, because this change SHOULDN'T have been made! Scopley makes some really boneheaded moves, and this is one of them. You shouldn't be sitting here defending that. You should be here letting us know the kirshara artifact is finally fixed, that the waves are fixed and will quit crashing, that the arenas will quit lagging out now because they are fixed.....there are SOOOOO many things that the devs should be working on, but this is not one of them.

[pure plover]

Lets be honest though, they can't profit from the whales if they fix those issues 🤣

[hallow spoke]

I agree with this statement. There are many of us who spend who did not buy the stupid ship because it is a one trick pony. then you have the spenders who can only do passes. then you have the ftp. Taking this away hurt them much more. The fact this was a priority over the other issues in the game shows a complete lack of concern for the community. You want your community to play to spend then you have to provide a product worth spending on.

[mild bobcat]

"Community as a whole" translates to "whales"?

[idle vigil]

Spot on. Our alliance of ~90 members has decided we are freezing our spending until this is reverted. Not a threat, we just don't see the value in the game when established mechanics are changed after months.

[carmine marten]

Thank you for making abundantly clear how little you care about your players. I really appreciate you making it obvious that what’s good for us is never your priority. It really helps in decision making on my part on how to respond to this. I really hope you can prove this statement wrong, admit you screwed up, and undo this change. Otherwise, well, I have my own choices to make

[maiden pilot]

But the devs didn't have to work on this one. They had the switch ready to go right at the time people were about to unlock the ship. Nobody had to work on "fixing something". They were just waiting for the right moment.

[drifting coral]

They do care, when you give them money, why whales get their own community managers and the only 1 for the thousands of peasants like us

[violet elm]

Something big has to happen for them to change. Apparently our feedback isn’t gonna do the work. That’s the only way to get their attention.

[keen loom]

What I’ve been saying for months. If our Community Managers can’t impact meaningful change, they should be called Communication Managers, and we should be given access to those who CAN impact change.

[grave quest]

to the decision makers? yes. you’re either a whale or you’re a freeloading piece of garbage not worthy of a second glance or even a first thought. 😂😂 brokely has been proving that again and again and again. the only time they actually listened was during the #freeGaila movement because everyone wrote bad reviews on google and apple stores. (oh, and the whales also complained) #freeDTI needs to get some movement going and then MAYBE they might listen, but i doubt it. dolphins are even beneath contempt for this company.

[mild bobcat]

So what crossroads do i make a blood pact at to get the same preferential treatment?

[golden violet]

Good luck, a few 70s on the server just deleted or just stop logging in their account because of this month and more will follow, it's bad when even your whales are leaving

@tidal notch Who asked for DTI store cooldowns? Really! Who? Okay make Cooldown for it, but decrease price or give compensation.... Or something! But this way you just take away and give nothing back.

What is wrong with yall? The DTI NEEDS to be put back the way it was. This wasn’t a one day to the other mistake. This was since inception and appreciated by the players. Now you have screwed it up. If you really want to fix something, fix field trainings for those who can’t access it. This is sad coming off 3 arcs that were good. Now two steps back

If you spend money you can do that event. They should put Heroic after it

@tidal notch @raw fiber With this introducing the DTI cooldowns scopley have just changed what was an excellent arc and month into one of the worst. F2P are the players most effected by this and it is such a kick in the teeth for them. It's one of the most tone deaf changes that has been made in a long time, if it was changed after a few days of the release, Then fair enough, but this has been this way for 4 months. Player sentiment was actually quite high with how good this arc was and that has now all disappeared with this change.

Wouldn't it be great if they cared?
