The game is unplayable from start to finish. Is that what Scopely expects?

[tidal notch]

Checking on this.

<@&509690795536941056> Are we getting spend events for an officer this month?

[hollow blaze]

Will be hard to mine 100 millió trel-a when rift takes 5 minutes to work.... This game useless as always. Never was this close to end it.

[sour basalt]

<@&509690795536941056> are we getting a playable game this arc?

[kind star]

This game is just pathetic rubbish! New content is almost all rubbish! Quality underground. Performance is getting worse and worse! That's it for me - many will quit with this new arc - the stupidest crap this year! Everything!

The lag is insane, it makes the game unplayable atm

An absolute disgrace AGAIN! The game is barely playable. The lag is awful.

...but weee not beta testers Ham.

We players.

🧐🙄

[shut horizon]

@tidal notch has it been clarified or can we clarify what triggers the daily login for Mak'Ala? My ops 66 account still hasn't gotten credit but my wife(ops 40) logged in and got it

[spare vapor]

Players: "Hey any chance we could reduce the grind"
Scopely: "Here's another 5 currencies and 3 grinds associated with those."

I'm not going to pretend to rage-quit here - I still enjoy the community and the game; but Scopely is NOT reducing grind at an equivalent rate to the new stuff that's being added. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy aspirational new content and don't want to discourage that...but it's hours of 'stuff' that needs to be done every month without any give. The user experience is also getting considerably worse because there are so many different 'same' things that are located in multiple different places (officer collection for example). Again, I'm not opposed to the idea of different grinds feeding different rewards but Scopely STFC needs a team devoted to consolidation and UX so that we have far fewer places to click through and do things. Start to F2P things that are old content or find additional ways to accelerate old loops/content - even if it's just expanding the IA at a greater rate...but please I hope this is feedback that makes it to the right ears....

[hollow blaze]

Okay. This is enough. New and new loops. More and more bugs. Unplayable. Perfect time to end this 5 year journey of playing. Keep up the good work, please don't do anything else just this game, so we never meet again.

[prime arrow]

I’m looking at truly stupid milestones that would take endless play over an extended period to complete, not to mention a ridiculous amount of resources to complete. Why? This is just dumb. I won’t say I’m hitting “delete”, but I’ve never been this close before in 5 years. And every other player I see quitting makes this that much easier. \

[coarse sundial]

good i dea bad devning

[wicked olive]

great job again... every the same after an update / patch. lag lag lag lag and bugs bugs bugs... always a great job !!!

[tidal notch]

Following up on this

[zinc laurel]

<@&509690795536941056> why can I not see any of the new events? It’s a nightmare!

[lunar ocean]

Why would you tell them?

[tidal notch]

You're missing all the new events? You updated the game and cleared loc?

[mighty rock]

They have their own tab this time

[vale gyro]

Because what use are 1800 ship parts that I'm not going to use for a year?

[zinc laurel]

Yes, tried all that

[cosmic knoll]

laG7 will be the end of the journey given how badly this release day is so far

[tropic crown]

With the amount of nodes, auto attacks and amount needed mined this is probably impossible
In just 2 days.

[sinful bone]

We have a player that is almost done with it.. 😂

[signal anvil]

Well, I retire in a couple of weeks and may be the perfect time to retire from this game. I don’t need a game that’s like a full time job with overtime if I try to complete everything. Scopely with zero respect for players and them having real lives outside of STFC!

[mighty rock]

The new tab for the Flashpoint Events was what I came in here to say I love, too; I'd been hoping we could declutter some of the menus by consolidating them, and this was a great first step. Hoping we can consolidate more, like the EoA shop folders and the TP officers and the like, and putting the weekly Khan shards in one of the other folders.

[coarse sundial]

i know lets are more to dying server

[cloud lark]

Treasury event?

[tropic crown]

How the mining is a crawl for me?

[zinc laurel]

Ahh I have the battle pass now but no other event ( the one with login rewards etc)

[hardy agate]

more lies from t hem ?

[hollow glade]

So, this is the INNOVATIVE new arc? It's so innovative and groundbreaking that nobody on my server can play! Skills don't work even outside of the arc systems. Ships can't move and get a "CANNOT CHANGE COURSE" error. Can't avoid "tails" because with this lag they hit you before you can even see your ship in the system.

All of this also applies to WOK space and other places we are meant to carpet bomb to get any score in the "Engage!" dailies.

As a software developer, I feel ashamed to share the same profession name with these dudes.

[static hornet]

"reports of lag" - I've seen continental drift moving faster than my ship

[modern robin]

Its the new Future with vibe coding 😊

[north ruin]

Your developers are clearly special needs putting this nonsense out

[uneven needle]

This game was never fully playable, but this time ... scoopely really messed up huge time ... I've never seen anything like this during all my online gaming years .... total disaster.

[modern robin]

Launch of Diablo 3 was quite Bad.. but Not as Bad as this one.

[young yacht]

Scopely, always expanding the game is all well and good. But if you can't get the lag under control, it makes no sense at all. Nobody can play sensibly here anymore!!!!!!!!!! What good is an event if I can't even shoot ships or go on mines? It can't go on like this. We pay a lot of money, some more, some less. In return you can expect a playable game. Stop producing more and more content without having solved the lag problem. The frustration I've read again today is certainly not helpful. And how many players are already OFF again because you can't play like this. Well, you can evaluate it yourselves.

[uneven needle]

Maybe instead of introducing new stuff to the game (which is good), try to fix all other issues and make it stable and reliable first. How about that for idea? I don't remember single time I logged in and not having some kind of issues ....

[copper tartan]

I personally spend on games when I'm having fun, all of the BS over the past few months have made me almost start hating this game. I would play for multiple hours while at work and at home nearly every day. Now I barely finish my dailies let alone the other daily events. Scopley has burned me out with all of this horse💩

[haughty nest]

It's an absolute cheek what you are delivering here. Did you get software developers out of undergraduate school? Apart from the lags. There is a great technique nowadays - called upscaling - it’s possible in Machine Speed and fully automated. Go to a decent data center or invest an extra amount of money a month.

[signal anvil]

That’s insulting to my grown special needs kids! I’ll take them over these clowns any day!

[sleek sparrow]

It's really funny that Discord is now far more entertaining than the game, especially on new arc day.

[prime salmon]

One of two tokens for the new systems wasted cause the hostiles didn't load before the chaser killed my miner. Thanks for bringing us so much joy Scopely.

[rotund elm]

Again scopely fails to learn from previous events and still renders the game unplayable on release of a new arc ….. well done 👏

[fluid surge]

Why oh why every update does the game become almost unplayable im beginning to lose hope!😢

[languid iron]

Storyboard: great idea. Execution: Failure

[severe vessel]

What percentage of systems are useless? What percentage of currencies, materials, ships, loops. Instead of constantly adding new try doing something with all the junk that’s clogging up the resource

Remember this response? lol not turning a blind eye? Come on... lets be serious here. Over the last two weeks the player base has provided the same feedback over and over again and we are not getting heard and nothing is being done about it. This Arcfall proves that it doesn't matter what the players say, Scopely doesn't care, doesn't listen, and will never fix the game. That's all we want. No New content, no more endless grinding with absurd milestones that require this to be a second job, just have the devs actually work on fixing the bugs in the game for a month or two. Hire some proper QA people, Fire the guy that came up with these last few Arcs (including this one it seems) and Fix the game.

[lilac wigeon]

Logging in is not possible anymore. I so bloody hope you’ll provide long ceasefire shield after that, it’s after 10pm here, I’m tired and I want to go to sleep and I have no chance to extend my shield 😓😓😓

@tidal notch extended ceasefire shields please.

[covert quest]

hello i just have to summarise some stuff first i am not surprised that we have again problems couse we all know scopelly dont fix the known old problems when they can implement alot of new problems. second if i look at the events its more and more pay to play than free to play and last but not least scopelly has realy the guts that the ingame massage says control your internet-connection (suggesting the problems are on our side) , thats realy showing how much they care

I am software developer. If I ever worked 1/10 as bad as they do, I'd be shown the door at warp speed!

[glad falcon]

Guys... Can You manage one update without breaking down the game. That would be a surprise and an improvement...

[uneven vault]

Awful game play experience... and unfortunately it is exactly as everyone expected it to be. Impossible to tell if the arc features are good or bad because ships stuck in warp, won't warp, won't return to base, missing rewards, targeting errors, booted from the app at least once every 5 mins. Slow gameplay that is frankly boring to engage with. This cannot be how you want the hard work of your teams to land with its customers.

[thorny wing]

Is there an explanation from Scamley in announcement s? No

[storm oracle]

Hard to say but self Ubisoft is better then that 🤣

[tropic crown]

The mining rate for yet another resource no one asked for is painfully slow.

[frail sinew]

I love it when a new arc comes out, then scopely shows what they can't

Select a hostile to kill and it dissapears on you or during battle nothing happens for 10 seconds before you get the message that you have killed it

[cosmic knoll]

you managed to kill it before someone elses client caught up and killed it before you?

[nova sierra]

I think now is a good time to turn my back on the game.
Scopely is incapable of properly testing any updates or changes in a neutral network environment.
Profit, profit, profit seems to be their credo – they don’t take our efforts seriously.
Why should they? The “stupid customers” will pay anyway.
It’s really bad… it takes away so much of the fun…

[void timber]

Well done...

[frigid geode]

Is that a joke? It's going to night in EU. At least 12h golden bubble

[graceful topaz]

24h, most people work in 12 hours

[ocean surge]

scopelys track record of starting an arc without a massive issue continues

[nova sierra]

Sort your servers out and make the game work. Give everyone compensation as they can’t participate in the new events and actually sort your game out so it doesn’t lag! Scopely ask for money, money, money yet we get nothing back for it

[solid galleon]

Fun, new arc, New issues and the performance of the game is in shambles, therefore unplayable.

[deep saddle]

Scopely messed up the game…again 😂🤣…wonder why we are not surprised 🤭🤭

[frail sinew]

stfc is a real banana product, it ripens at the customer

[cosmic knoll]

Typical scopley dont even know what hours in a day are ... its 9:30pm (2130) in the UK ... 4hr shield? ppl goto bed because guess what? its weekday = work, ofc scopely dont understand what a weekday is either...

perhaps i should be putting in a suggestion to learn how to tell the time and day.

[meager bolt]

STFC Flashpoint Event is like playing CS:GO with 1-2 FPS - great job - who was testing this update ?! Maybe the 5 people in the announcement video?

[nova sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/bugs-bunny-looney-tunes-cash-money-counting-money-gif-9664215891247912715

Maybe stop adding things until the basics are fixed? Just a thought.

[late timber]

4h shield while it’s almost the night… do you expect players to stay awake until 2/3am to put a correct shield?

[drowsy goblet]

You can run a peace shield on top of the 4 hr ceasefire shield...they're different types

[spiral stump]

Yes

[frail sinew]

I want to buy the NoLag package cost 99€?

[tiny axle]

Maybe Scopely should call this arc The Maintenance Downtime Arc.

[ocean surge]

by morning their will of been 20 maintenance downtimes to try and fix it and it still wont be fixed xD

[cosmic knoll]

and you must work for scopely ... ppl cant log in to put a shield up ... did you know its a tuesday? that means tomoro is wednesday ... ppl goto work during the weekdays typically (monday to friday) ... its 9:30pm un the uk, means 10:30pm in eu ... you want ppl to lose their jobs because you cant tell the time

[young yacht]

But don't annoy fellow sufferers. We get 5 officer parts as compensation. So the issue is off the table again until next month. 🥳 How lucky we are.🍀

[deep saddle]

In the past I made a ticket suggesting them to cease the rights to a real game developer…their artificial intelligence answered that they took note about the suggestion 😂🤣

[severe vessel]

Now half the player base can’t log on the lag has improved

[frigid geode]

Yes ... but you must be able to login. And at the moment it's nearly not working

[willow raven]

This is soooooo misleading. No ops 40-50 could unlock fc khan for free. None. Again you’re only listening to a handful of high level ops players.

[grim obsidian]

well it's still discriminating to the other half that can log in.... just saying...

[old seal]

@tidal notch please tell your people that a 4 hour shield is well past bedtime in Europe. Are we not allowed to sleep but wait for some team of clowns to switch the game back on?

[valid willow]

Not worth posting anything here no one listens or they are all incompetent. The result is the same.

[thick harbor]

No, they turn two blind eyes to those bugs 😂

[vivid frigate]

The good old times... Who remembers Steam release? You can feel old now.

[drowsy goblet]

My friend...I can tell the time...I don't work for Scopes...and I can login just fine right now. If a game makes you so upset you want to yell at me, I'd take a break. Live Long and Prosper

[cosmic knoll]

scopely must think its 5pm everywhere in the world at the same time ... what a life they must lead, to be able to dream that impossible dream.

id like the Prime Dream pack for 99.99 please. i need some of that 5pm everywhere cloud 9 stuff

edited because im not going to put an entire nation into the same catagory as scopely.

[spiral stump]

To top it off Scopely turned on turtle mode in hopes we don't vent too much.

[prime salmon]

As a general feedback, I love that your solution to too many loops and tasks is a metric f-ton of mining... that you have to refresh every couple minutes because of hazards.

[tidal notch]

Yeah... looking to extend.

[vast oyster]

#⭐-official-announcements message <@&509690795536941056> a 4 hour shield will end for most europeans at 2-3am, this will add an insane load of dissatisfaction and also your customer service team will hate you for this.

[little sphinx]

So I want compensation that I have to raise own 12h shield because this unplayable game cause me big troubles to get raided; so I want my shield money back! Even raising the shield takes minutes to be activated ...

[tidal notch]

Looking to extend the shields

[trim citrus]

Please add more transogen mining nodes

[sour dew]

@tidal notch why was there a nearly 4hr delay for the update on the playstore? That's never happened during an Arc Launch.

[edgy sail]

Hello there.... The game is so bugged and lagged that i cant even tell anything about the new content, and i am using 100% stable connection yet game shows almost constant yellow comnection sign, and it is almost constant because rest of the time game shows red connection sign or error..... Basically at this moment i am hoping that the game will let me put up shield at least

[gilded escarp]

Nah, it’s the we only value whales arc and the official don’t care about our player base, no matter what we say publically arc

[toxic coyote]

Wasn't too long ago Scopely was being open about how the game can no longer handle the new content they want to roll out, but it's yet another car crash roll out of an arc. It hasn't changed in 7 years and it never will do

[zinc laurel]

<@&509690795536941056> is the boldly go event for all levels? as it’s still not appearing for a few of us it would seem

[tidal notch]

Ops 40+

[sleek sparrow]

Toddlers are taught to apologise when they do wrong. I don't see how the grown adults at Scopely can't manage a sorry when they mess up.

[lost bough]

Toddlers could probably code better too. 🤷‍♂️

[grim obsidian]

4 ships mining rare for the last couple hours and this is all I’ve scored? Wow.. more of a joke than I originally thought.

[vivid frigate]

they are busy carrying icecubes to the server room

[nova sierra]

So once again, things were not properly tested by this company, and we get a release full of bugs

[zinc laurel]

I’ll let them know

[acoustic sequoia]

omg the lag is costing me so much sigma trit

[keen echo]

I expect something in return for the massive server crash too, not just the ops 40+. Could have kept the maintenance for 18 hours instead

[gaunt raptor]

Another arc no one really wanted, more bugs than the Amazon Jungle, and BS mining events. We the players, really didn't think scopely could create a worse arc than the last two....guess their design team said 'hold my beer'

[tropic crown]

The mining rates are terrible not even hit 10k after hours of mining for the event no way I come close to finishing the event. Upgrading the building does nothing to speed it up.

[quasi field]

@tidal notch i didn't see this in the Known Issues Tab - the research button in the Transogen Forge does not work.

[nova sierra]

It's not supposed to work. That research tree will be added in the future

[thorny sable]

Dw u get 1 whole transogen every 10 business days

[tropic crown]

It’s like they want people to quit.

[quasi field]

@nova sierra @tidal notch i did not know that. thank you letting me know. Ham - please disregard the previous message.

[nova sierra]

It absolutely does, but you have to take the building beyond level 20 to really see a difference. The first 10 levels really don't affect mining all that much ... I mine the rare stuff at 7 million per hour. You can't really finish that SMS event unless your building is at least level 25 to 30 unfortunately. The event is totally unrealistic and should be either changed, or labeled heroic.

That's a screenshot of the status of my building.

For that event, all the scores need to be multiplied by 10 for it to be realistic, or the final score needed divided by 10

Also, the mining rates are absolutely abysmal for anything less than a G5 epic miner because those nodes are basically reskinned G6 nodes. Even a nova will perform absolutely terrible on those nodes.

[azure valve]

@tidal notch Where do I start… the events are barely completable everyone below ops 40 is irrelevant and have nothing to do with event the lag is insane. If we are below ops 40 it’s not like we didn’t have the lag. Half the events we can’t do transogen takes a few years to mine and the suliban transports at their lowest level likely won’t be able to be killed by anyone less than ops 28.

Summary: The event is impossible broken and anyone below ops 40 is neglected. And a 4 hour peace shield which ends at 2 am is the dumbest thing ever

[near trellis]

I appreciate the attempts at keeping things fresh, but why are the rewards so high? Why am I required to spend 12+ hours a day just to score or participate?

[wooden solar]

Just whe we thought it could get any worse, here you go with another shower of... Congratulations, you've done it again. You just aren't listening, we don't want more grind, more mining, more daily things to do, there's already too much content.

[thorny sable]

Bro few years is accurate takes me 400 days plus to finish one node 😭😭😭

[mossy harbor]

I am trying to figure out when you have a game that already has connection/lag issues why you would add 30+ systems of auto-grinders!?!? Also, if you are going to make scores this high it needs to be marked "heroic" as I see no way this can be finished outside of spending money or basically playing more hours than people sleep!!

[tropic crown]

This just in new arc is 💩.

[livid spear]

Defiant warprange reseach was good little addition, but the ranges still makes it unusable. Aim ops 67 and its can do reseach only to 8/10 since next step needs ops 68 R&D. Even this would give only 25 extra range. These range boosts needs to be way bigger to be useful.

For example. My titan can warp 1294 range, Cerritos 1271, but defiant still lacks on at 874 range. Defiant needs 50% more range boost to be in same league with other booster ships.

[elder hornet]

While no major glitches have happened. The intelligent challenge arc designers need to be canned and people working knowledge of the game hired to do the work needed to fix the dumb mistakes.

[half wadi]

So thank you Scopley for bringing the nice folk of server 92 into 86. Im also grateful for a stable launch. Thank you. Now all these grinds ...no way..I will continue with my own personal goals...and blow up alliances that oppose mine like one of your grind events

[uneven karma]

I really wanted this arc to work, was actually hoping it would be good. But once again it's a trainwreck. 4 of the systems are completely blank, nothing in them, had to restart game multiple times just to get my ship to move, mine the 15 needed for the mission, doesn't register. This game no longer brings joy, makes me put my credit card back in my purse and switch off.

[round shard]

XP for mining is really one of the best QoL changes there's been. You really should have made a bigger deal of it!

[prime arrow]

Arc is massively frustrating.

After you upgrade, do you recall your ship that's mining? Just like research or exo's, won't go into effect until you dock & go back out

[odd brook]

high ops are punished. im feeling that pain also

[mossy harbor]

<@&509690795536941056> your game is unplayable on server 91!!! If ships aren’t lost in warp they are un-movable even after multiple reboots.

[idle wadi]

😯

[dense lark]

Server 201..... I'm playing on mobile. Can't "log in" to start dailies of new event nor does the new building show up on screen.

[round shard]

That was my reaction 😄

[civic haven]

iOS - was standing next to my fiber router, so ignore the wifi logo. S41 (Not related to EU issues). Ignore the audio, I’m listening to @neat moss’s stream.

[signal anvil]

Another 💩 show!🤦🏻

[muted shuttle]

Can I have another shield, mine broke on an OPC miner floating🤷‍♂️

[wary fjord]

would you look at that, I hit the hostile limit for the day and until reset happens killing enemies means precisely jack.

Edit because of the stupid 5 minute timer - and no, I haven't finished my events yet, and I'm at work the next couple of days so playtime is a minimum.

[bold marlin]

Wait…. There a gold shield in place long after it was supposed to be?

There’s lag everywhere you say?

Things going missing in refines and claims?

Every player frustrated?

Nothing works?

Say it ain’t so….

Another masterful and seamless arc launch from the company that’s so good at it.

I know CM’s have to put up with a lot of 💩 from the goons that actually run the show and the frustrations of players in most games these days but seriously, the CM’s in this have to put a gloss and happy smile on so much with the nonsense that is Scopely……

My admiration for them is equalled only by my utter distain by the ones making their job ridiculously harder than it should.

[mellow loom]

Still waiting to get credited for "'Login in for 1 day" in the Crucible...despite putting about 3 hours into the game on 2 different platforms and multiple times during the day.

[covert fable]

I'm missing battlepas at PC and via phone too. /ops 35/ Game updated, localization cleared.

[tepid bramble]

Nice, this arc goes way beyond “2nd job” status, stability is iffy, lag atrocious, and the icing on the cake, “sorry commander you are not eligible for this promo code”. Just ugh

[surreal haven]

Where even is the new building , there’s nothing new on my end

[bold marlin]

It’s next to the Nova Squadron building in the bottom left of your station.

Not that I’ll be building it mind you, not for at least another 47 days.

I accidentally started building OP’s level 40 when I’d intended to stay at 39 indefinitely.

I’m not speeding it up and the more I hear from the various talking heads from Scopely about how they want to encourage players to progress further, the more I’m disinclined to make them happy.

I’ll play this game how I want thank you very much.

[surreal haven]

Yeah there’s nothing new there

[frosty moat]

Scopely doesn't want players to progress, they want players to PAYgress, as in pay money for the materials needed to progress in the game. Otherwise there would be a balanced system of upgrade and research materials versus player levels.

[orchid timber]

Here's some feedback. Why do you even have this channel? Scopely obviously does not listen to the players. The last two arcs were backbreaking grinds, and we lost a lot of long-time players (most of whom were spenders). So what do you do? Another loop, a metric crapton of new currencies...but to top it off, you doubled down on stupid with yet another unrealistic grind. Everything requires more and more and more and more screen time. Literally mine for 8 hours with a ~2000% boost to achieve a single refine and 10% completion of the sms? What is the objective here, scopely? When is enough enough? When everyone quits and the whales feed on themselves?

Edit: That's not to mention the ridiculous milestones in the crucible.

[keen loom]

The objective is to lay the ground work for the new pay miner. Come on now.

[frosty moat]

No, the objective is to keep pandering to the whales who spend indiscriminately on every $100.00 pack in the store, and to drive out anyone who doesn't pay.

[orchid timber]

Right. Mafia stuff. Pay us for protection from us. Classic.

[lucid sage]

has anyone on ios got an update yet? both my phone and ipad still showing all the khan stuff, can't do the new events or see the new building but no update available in the app store.

[keen star]

https://tenor.com/view/starwars-r2d2-im-done-tired-done-gif-14366213

[real seal]

Click on the Stfc itself it will show up maybe it’s hidden. Yes I got a update on reset this morning

[keen socket]

got it through the store

[still sequoia]

Yet another failure 7th in a row with most of them being 80% or better

[sharp cypress]

my forge is tier 7 and this is all the points I've gotten, no idea how I'll finish this sms since mining the new constantly barely gives enough and has killed my miner so many many times - this arc is just rotting - it's so much grind grind grind

[real seal]

Where are the Krenium invading Entities at. ?

[neat moss]

and learning a key piece of information during that clip too

[primal sierra]

With this new arc shifts are getting Frozen in play fix it please

[dusky flame]

So what’s the logic for having two different types of chasers on each generation with different loot and chest pulls? This makes it impossible to do one type if you’re at the lower end of your generation

[vast nest]

The devs receive their annual bonus based on how many different currencies they can add

[ebon jackal]

Again, there is too much all at once. This arc is also designed assuming it's the only thing a player will be doing in the game. Also, the people who set up what players have to do, have no idea what the different ops levels have access to. That should be an easy thing to check. It must be indifference, there's really no other explanation - the people creating the content/events simply don't care what ops level has access to what "stuff" in the game.

[proud narwhal]

Ok this seems very backwards- the new mining nodes as you go up in rarity, the mining as rate gets higher, but the nodes are smaller

[visual agate]

used my single premium transogen warp toll to travel to the token space only for the game to crash right then and there and refuse to restart before my ship was in smokes. thanks scopes 😘

[spare forge]

I do not believe this is doable without buying something from the store and should be labeled HEROIC. Using the database, I tabbed it up to level 41 and it takes 7300 Foundations, 4k short. Granted I do not know the jumps in output for every 10 levels of the forge but I highly doubt it's going to be over 1K a day for a single refine per day unless I'm missing something.

[coarse sundial]

still bad lag

[severe mauve]

Transogen mining event, managed to score 8,000 pts overnight. Only 1,672,000 to go. 🤣 🤡

[wooden solar]

A shield extension at 00:50 was totally worthless, most players had set their own bubble and gone to bed by then 🤦‍♂️

[nova sierra]

The new competition in itself: yes, nice. Considering what else you have to do every day (movie quote): "The Romans are crazy!" My thoughts on finding another online game that takes up significantly less of my time: growing!

[crystal mica]

Rewards no worth the effort…

[old seal]

Scopely must think COVID lockdown is back and people are not working inorder to spend more time in game. Have a few deluded employees producing nonsensical videos promoting working together for each server. People have to work in real life and would rather have quality of life and balance. This is a full time occupation with this arc....not a game.

[nova sierra]

Newer players have no idea how much of their life time this game will take away from them and by the time they realize, it's already too late and the search factor has struck.

[faint ridge]

@tidal notch How are we supposed to complete these events? I have a T13 Protector. I would need 10 MU runs to do the TellA. 14 runs for the TellD. So 24 entries into the MU. I dont have 12 hours to commit to that along side everything else, and I do not have enough entry tokens into the MU to do that, as I use mine daily to grind for sigma speedups. So again, this show you have people creating events that do not understand the game at all

[timid topaz]

I thnk the folks posting above said it several times already WE DONT NEED/WANT ANOTHER GRIND LOOP there is not enough game time in 99.99% of peoples day to do it (and I am retired so have all day but im not spending all day grinding in the broke game) perhaps if it was not so buggy or laggy but right now nopt not happening.

[carmine charm]

Have you tried just paying to tier the forge? /s obviously

[humble furnace]

tbh i am starting to think even if you had a max forge that event is way to high still

[unreal saddle]

Mine is lvl 53 and i clam 60(!) per day. Next lvl need 1300

[quaint haven]

If the goal of this arc was to incorporate all of the things the playerbase hates you guys forgot to add more formadas.

Oh wait, you covered that by making us do 15 of them for the event.

[whole sequoia]

Why is there no way to exchange 3* Transogen cannisters? I only have 4* cannister and containment exchange in the refinery but have not found any of the Suliban ships carrying 4*, only 3*.

[timid topaz]

FIX YOUR GAME every time I recall a ship I have to log out and log back in again to get it to enter the station fix this im going offline for 4 hrs to calm down or my pc will go through a window

[whole sequoia]

I'd be happy if they scrapped the entire Transogen deal.

[serene pine]

If you need 4* cannisters you need to hit the suliban hostiles in 42-50 systems

[vocal tinsel]

This is another DoA arc.

[whole sequoia]

@serene pine in Grajoel lvl 42 system. What's there? Lvl 40 Suliban with 3*, not 4*. Finally found one in Beta Nerra. Level 46 system. And my strongest ship can't kill it. Same story with Alpha Nerra. This BS is impossible for ops 41.

In the refinery it's offering instant warp for Augur, D4, an Enterprise. I've no use for that upgrade because I only use those ships for daily cloak kills.

[thorny wing]

If there is no research yet ..just leave out the button ..or make is visible but disabled .. this would avoid many of us wasting time asking questions about it … gui design 101

[serene pine]

Sorry yeah I forgot that for some reason the hostile levels lag behind the system level. 44+ has 4* cannisters. Best I can say is to tweak the ships/crews you're using 🫡

[whole sequoia]

The options in Transogen refinery are not taking into account the player's ops level and ships they have. It should be giving me 3* exchanges and dangling instant warp carrots for Monaveen, NSEA, and NX-01. So I've gathered yet another pile of useless resource to clutter my inventory. Scopely needs to do a lot of changes on this mess. It's worse than the awful slog getting the NX-01 upgraded is.

[serene pine]

Sadly this is just how the game is. The events are bracketed around the grades (g4, g5 etc) so the early levels of a grade are always the hardest. This is why so many people recommend to speed through these levels asap til you can build the uncommon ship of the grade (ops42 in your case). Monaveen may help if you have it, but end of the day, low end of the bracket sucks 😔

[thorny wing]

Please move to the side instead of further invading the screen space

[whole sequoia]

I'm working on getting to ops 42. No level up has required as much building since going from 18 to 19. Upgrading Monaveen has been a breeze. Just park it in Texas space overnight and next day I can get another upgrade.

[coarse sundial]

can we have a reblance for mining tel A 100 mil is silly

[serene pine]

Yeah the odd number levels at the beginning and end of the grades have massive building requirements (41-42, 49-50 etc). Usually you end up having to upgrade all your docks, platforms etc

[ionic spear]

Hazard systems for those under lvl 60? Lame. ☑️
Poor mining rates even with upgraded buildings? ☑️
Lousy events with too much grind for long and short term 💩 payouts? ☑️
Failure to fix existing core gameplay, despite the protestations from the playing audience? ☑️
$100 packs? I can buy a PS5/Xbox game with better game play value! ☑️
A clunky UI that was good for 2019, but in 2025? Naw, do better. Sliders for everything. ☑️
Spending 20 minutes of my day collecting refineries, faction stores, etc. is tedious. ☑️
I quit. ☑️

[odd heart]

2 things, 1 they need to increase the kill/loot cap, we now have 3 Auto mine spots, I was constantly hitting it with Monaveen/Exile!
2. we need Ship Lock, or something so you can’t accidentally pull a ship off a mine esp in Token space!

[nova sierra]

Scopely, please understand. You were playing high-stakes poker and overplayed your cards. However, if your goal had been to get older players to fold and favor new players who are even more amenable to manipulation, you probably would have achieved that goal ^^

LLAP 🖖

[vocal pollen]

Who could have guessed that combining revenge hostiles, hazards and a lack of mining nodes could result in a horrible player experience? Adding pain to a game and forcing people to spend money to make the game tolerable might be a good short term solution, but in the long run you will reduce your customer base. Rather focus on creating a great player experience, so that people stick to the game for longer and want to pay to get ahead of others. I am seriously thinking about quitting the game after years ...

[warm field]

Please fix where recalled ships get stuck at 00m00s and never dock. One of many things that should have been fixed before you rolled out more new stuff.

[vernal wolf]

lool I was warned, for what? For the truth?what a tragedy from scopley

[tepid bramble]

They, like all the “tech bro” culture and money makers do NOT want folks to speak ill of them because they know they have no defense.

However, I am becoming more of the mind that we bring this on ourselves for following the Scoply plants on the major servers acting as rabbits.

You cannot tell me that the same person who maxes out everything on day one of an arc, and has since day one of the game are anything but.

I can’t think of ANYONE who is smart/capable enough to afford this type of behavior doing so on a phone game.

Scopley engaging in duplicitous and predatory business practices and WILL shut down anyone who rages against the machine.

[crisp echo]

What do you expect, we have “elite” players now, so class is now categorised in a game. Sounds very suss to me. What kind of people run this game?

[gritty turtle]

Same for me. I am Ops61 and would have to kill 61-70 hostiles for the cannister exchange. My D'Deridex can barely scratch the paint of a 61 hostile. Extremely demotivational.
I understand why they overpowered the exile augments (to sell the new ship), but I don't know why they are doing it here (as the new ship is for ops70 only...).

[carmine charm]

Because there'll be a new speciality ship in 1-2 months

[graceful topaz]

It is easy, they want you to buy yourself into level 70

[gritty turtle]

Normally the specialty ship comes in the second part of the ark. Was the case with the Revenant, was the case with the Reliant. But the ship they announced for this ark, the Vengeance, seems to be a pure whale pleaser as it was announced for ops70 only.

[carmine charm]

The vengeance is the g7 entry ship, we'll get a different speciality ship for this arc

[gritty turtle]

If so it was usually announced at the beginning of the arc, but ok, I hope you will be right...

[carmine charm]

Can you recall the last arc series where they didn't try to sell a new ship to all players in their target audience (g4 to g6 atm) 😀?

[gritty turtle]

😅 👍

[tacit knot]

Got the same problem

[frigid geode]

Are the developers still working on yesterday's problems?
After things went quite well this morning, all the problems from last evening/night are now coming back.
Ships are not moving towards nodes. Lag. ...

[carmine yew]

Liking the Symbols on hostiles and full zoom. Nice to finally have that implemented

[thorny wing]

Why are there no systems with Suliban Runners level 52 …need for the refinery..lowest is 56 system

[green orbit]

Please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD make it so we can exchange between rarities of ore/gas/crystal.

This current refinery is so trollishly stupid in what it gives you. I've been stuck on upgrading a building for the past 12 days because it just NEVER GIVES ME ANY GODDAMN G3 UNCOMMON CRYSTALS.

I might lose my freaking mind over this. It's so unnecessarily dumb and unintuitive.
-# Yes I know it's an intentional game mechanic to ruin progress; shut up.

[whole sequoia]

For me it's been 3* uncommon gas being more rare than rare 3* gas.

[green orbit]

EXACTLY. The green stuff is literally harder to get than blues.

I HAVE WAY TOO MANY BLUES ALREADY, GAME. I DON'T EVEN NEED ANY OF IT RIGHT NOW.

All I need is LITERALLY just 11 UC G3 crystals and I've been stuck for 12 DAYS without it and the only reason I'm even here is because I already bought crystals with the battlepass coins yesterday to upgrade something else.

[nova sierra]

I think we all misunderstand this. Yes, there's nothing to fear when thousands of new players worldwide join a game every day who know nothing about it, and only hundreds of players leave a game every day into which they've already invested thousands of dollars. I think that's called business administration. 🫠

[silver plinth]

can someone explaim me how to use the new "Research" Button in Transogen Forge ? i'm tabbing on it but nothing happens

[finite mural]

it currently doesn't do anything

[storm oracle]

They don't know why the button is there would be my bet 🤣

[silver plinth]

And how do i reseaches ?

[nova sierra]

you must have the building at 10 ...someone told me 😅

[cold sage]

Well I see the Hydra graphic glitch (when docked) has been fixed.. 1 down, 100 to go?

[glossy hamlet]

and that the developers say that players under level 40 have to sit and suck for a whole month because they made an event for players 40+

[grim obsidian]

Ok… WTH? I’ve been mining all night in a token space.. literally left the miner there.. and this is all I’ve gotten? Maxed Nova with every fast mining officer I have on it. How in the world am I supposed to finish this event in two days when I can’t even make the first milestone after 15 hrs of straight mining?

[sour dew]

50 and up. If you don't have a Selkie you barely score points for mining Transogen.

[rocky cloud]

Pay them 99.99 to buy materials with which you upgrade forge which gives you % mining speed for transogen.
And then another 99.99 for officer which gives you 7500% mining speed.
And if that isnt enough, then spend another 499.99 to max that officer so you get even higher % for mining transogen
Easy

[thorny wing]

Scamley starts at Severely Unreasonable level to see if it generates revenue … if that falls,below a certain target they (reluctantly) improve it significantly unreasonable ..then check money flow again ..
and so on .. ‘twas ever thus

[grim obsidian]

They won’t be getting another dime from me.

[rocky cloud]

If I understand this right, pilum costs 507,500 to buy, so after I get that will pilum cost only 253,750 ?

[tropic crown]

Scopley has lie to us over and over again. They say they listen to us, they say quality over quantity. They promise to fix bugs yet they never fix a dang thing and keep adding more. They say they have a goal of lower screen time yet keep adding grinds and loops. They add problems just to try and force you to spend . For every step forward its 15 step back each update. An each and every launch is a disaster it just how bad. If I did my job as bad as the devs I would be fired. Why do they do surveys? Why, they clearing don’t give @&%# what we say.

[bold marlin]

I’ve had it with this new grind.

Whats it going to take to enter the thick skulls of Scopely that the community is sick of grinds…..

‘Oh but it gives speeds ups to older grinds.’

So did the last grind, and the one before that and the one before that and guess what?? I’M STILL HAVING TO GRIND THEM!!!!!!

This is now getting beyond a joke. Fix the old stuff before piling on new 💩 that no one wants.

It’s a mobile game!! If I’m spending more than a couple of hours a day on it, it’s too much and it takes 10 minutes just to go through all the clicks for the refinery’s and then the factions.

Couple that with the fact the claim all/bulk refine misses items, which I’ve no way of knowing is simply a graphics glitch and they are actually in my inventory, like Scopely claim. But they also claim they test before dealing patches, which everyone in the community knows is a straight up lie!

The UI is now a joke with all the stuff that’s been added in the last couple of years, when playing it on a 28 inch PC monitor it looks crowded and too busy but on a mobile it’s horrendous.

Scopely paying billions for other games to add to their catalogue, so they’re not exactly short of cash, but yet here we are, with a game that lags, crashes looks like it’s fallen through a time warp from 2012 and is in fact a second job.

Pull your finger out and get creative.

[tepid bramble]

If I was as duplicitous and inept as Scoply is in MY job, I would not just lose my badge, I could be sued civilly and possibly be brought up on criminal charges.

But hey, money protects money. 🤷‍♂️

[tropic crown]

Right there with you.

[agile fractal]

Hey @tidal notch sidian_hamster how am I supposed to refine 3* trisogen containment if its not in my refinery. I m ops 40 however I have no ships that can even Hit a lvl 41 and above for the 4 * and its the only refinery that shows for me.

[opal crane]

Had anybody else complained about the mining event being completely ridiculous? I'm a nearly maxed ops 60, mining with 2-3 high tier FKR faction surveys almost the full time since it dropped, including one in token..... And in third place for the mining event.... Effectively one day left and only up to 24m points of the ~300m needed.

When Scopay released G6, they made hazard space and they immediately released research that could be acquired for G6 players to be able to exist and play the game. Is there any F2P research available to g5 and below players to give hazard resistance? Or was the goal to just make this as painful as possible? When can we expect F2P hazard research for non-G6 players, <@&509690795536941056> ? I can't imagine ANY Ops 60 finishing this event without fully maxing their new building and paying money in conjunction with having several maxed FKR surveys.

[frigid geode]

And more: You have to hazard-destroy your miners serval times a day to get the stuff for one refinery chest.

[bold marlin]

If we all changed our player names to our credit card number, Scopely would pay more attention.

[rough sandal]

No research for hazard resistance for g3 players. Can confirm as in ops 31 and have tried to find out. Alliance mate said that I need to get the nsea but that's locked behind ops 40 and I'm not spending the money to make that jump

[opal crane]

Yep! It'll take over 10 hours of mining time in token to get enough loot for one double pull of the rare at ops 60.

I'm okay with a specialty ship making a grind better, but this is a drastically worse form of all of the bad from when the augment was released. If you don't have hazard resistance, it's just dumb. Don't release arcs that the only way they become reasonable is by waiting another month for another ship. That you have to either spend or wait 100 days to unlock.

@rough sandal I haven't checked, but I believe the hazard resistance that the protector has is different and unique to the MU space, so it won't give you any assistance. I have not checked, so don't quote me.

As far as I know, there is ZERO F2P access to the research that makes this not miserable. I think there's only 1 FT/CT that gives hazard resistance and afaik, it's only pay to play.

Just another plot by Scopely to corner people into leveling into G6 or to spend money to make an arc reasonable?

[leaden haven]

Whoever came up with this research, its a great idea with poor implementation. Having 900 warp on the Defiant is kinda useless for G6 warp ranges, really needed to match what the Titan and Cerritos can do at minimum.

[gritty scaffold]

Dear @scopely ... I would really love to be able to leave the refinery or event tab without having to close and restart the entire game. Sincerely - @everyone

[wild gate]

Err no. Scopely math. Probably save you 2 or 3 % in real terms

[opal crane]

Why any discord this size has the ability to @ everyone is insane to me... But also yeah, I'm in that everyone saying that. Lol

[shell jungle]

oh, outstanding, now the game doesn't load.... S89 US

[mild steppe]

im running stfc on a mac. sinced the update my performance has been terrible. is anyone else having issues on mac?

[unreal saddle]

<@&509690795536941056> is it normal that forge pack contains same amount of tier up currency for lvl1 and lvl 50 of building?

[ashen star]

With all these new currencies, can we discuss old ones? Here is a sample of my inventory I’ve built up of obsolete event store loot, etc that you should clear from the game.

[thick pilot]

Well finally scopely did a good job on a good massive update still needs some balancing tho

[copper pecan]

These new systems are beyond frustrating. Needing to reset my ships every 30-40 minutes, theres no game to play it, it all does itself, I just cant use my ships or go do something else.

Token systems with auto attacking hostiles just to burn your token when you space out.

I know this isnt the 'complete' experience, but holy crap does it still feel awful.

[muted shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-thats-bait-tom-hardy-mad-max-gif-5055384

[iron rivet]

Thank you Scopley for the non-existent compensation gift for us players under OPS30 that defenitely did not experience any performance issues yesterday 🫠

[opal crane]

"Are sub-Ops 30 players even real people?" - Whales and Scopely, prolly

[iron rivet]

yeah, sounds about right 🤪

[thick pilot]

Scopely just messed up and completed these tasks for me for free thanks scopely

[vale wasp]

No, you shouldn't expect that. The 50% bonus is to cost efficiency, it's not a blanket reduction to cost, nothing in the game is that.

This is the efficiency formula:
costFinal = costBase(1/(1 + sumOfEfficiencies))
costFinal = 507500(1/1.5)

[torn briar]

Losing all my friends on this game because Scopley can't seem to get there heads out of the azz and make this game interesting again. The grind alone puts a bad taste in my mouth. I realize there needs to be some grind but not where your spending all day on a node or system and haven't gotten anywhere or anything to speak for it. Been playing this game since launch minus about 6 months of breaks. You have ruined this game for me, its more of a chore to log in and play rather then fun and hang with friends. Yall gotta change your priorities cause I feel this is just the start of the mass exodus.

[hollow plover]

Are there reasonable event milestones and is the lag fixed or should i simple do something else and not log in?

[frigid geode]

Hmmm ... sending out the store credits but not the milestone points?
#⭐-official-announcements message

[coral moat]

When am I going to actually be able to build the forge? I updated the game, completed tasks, and nothing.

[sour dew]

@tidal notch would like to see a point reduction for mining Transogen since players with Selkies, Divitaes seem to be the only reasonable ships able to mine reasonably. No player under 45 is able to benefit the event.

[summer kayak]

ops 42 player here, amalgam can reach the first rare transogen system and lvling the forge (it can be up to lvl 7 f2p right now) makes the rates considerably better. you should get 1 free token from gift store (might have to check webstore for that?) and that can be used to mine in Vowoh (common), T'Aiek (unc) or Kahon Sigma (rare). there's no hazards and the rates are better (higher lvl system = better rate) but there are autochasers. though it's still almost impossible grind. hope this helps..

[spiral stump]

Another cash grab event. No point in participating.

[vivid nebula]

All these issues, but hey here’s a quiz 😆😆 tone deaf as always

[remote flume]

If you’re going to make such ridiculous asks of players with polygons and krenim solos, you really have to give people the directives to do them. It isn’t fair to anyone unless you give them the necessary heads up to save their directives.

25 krenim solos is NOT DOABLE unless you save for literally almost a whole month and don’t engage in the loop at all! For the 25 polygons, assuming you have a group of 4 who saved their directives, they would need to save for 6-7 weeks each… which is actually mpossible due to the 400 directives cap on the free claim. Even if it wasn’t impossible, NO ONE DOES THAT. You would have to completely disengage from the loop to save for that long!

This is why no one likes you, Scopely. You punish people who do their loops and you punish those who save at the same time. No one wins! I predict even more dedicated players will quit this arc. Congrats, you are terrible at this. 🤣

[idle skiff]

A quiz that nobody asked for or wants, super prizes worth the square root of very little, and limited to old primes, not the super new sparkly stuff.
Seriously Scopely, how about allocating the resources used creating the quizzes to actually fixing something, anything....lt's not like your choices to fix stuff are limited, almost nothing works well....How about a month long "bug bash" that addresses issues that are not just typos?....l just edited my post to fix a typo, it's not difficult guys, fix some real broken stuff! Pretty please 😀

[spiral stump]

2 weeks. Scopely has 2 weeks to fix this cash grab progression mess. Plenty of other games around that doesn't demand CC info to progress.

[tropic crown]

Because of this terrible new arc I have used more repair speed up than an incursion by a factor of 10. It’s not worth the effort.

[harsh thunder]

I'm having to hot the recall and attack buttons 5 times before they work.

[hollow plover]

will there be any compensation regarding bp points which i missed due an unplayable state (aka lag) of the game?

[wooden spire]

Me too. The game is buggy and laggy. But hey, we have a quiz!

[gilded escarp]

Cuz scopley math isn’t real math

[devout pivot]

Don’t go to ops 30. Stay 29 as long as you can

[spiral stump]

[iron rivet]

yeah, i got that advice from a alliance friend aswell 🫠 . He went to OPS30 since he thought he wanted to be able to do the arc aswell.... Have the paid BP, but once lvled up, he didnt get the rewards in the BP for ops30+ and therefore won't be able to upgrade the new building. And subsequently not have a chance in any of the SLBs where the building buffs is needed 🙃

[devout pivot]

It gets harder each month for newer players. They need more help imo. Many just give up early. Hard to blame them

[tropic crown]

There is not one single new event for me today lol. Well that cuts my screen time finally!

[spiral stump]

If Scopely pushed GOOD content then they wouldn't need to try and milk players for cash. Just saying.

[iron rivet]

yeah... Thankfully i have a great alliance that have helped me so much, and seemingly also a good server overall. Otherwise i would probably have lost interest. You could think that a company usually have some kind of focus on things like "how do we get new customers/players?" and "how do we make our product interesting and good enough for the new and current customers/players to wanna continue?", but it seems like that thought doesnt really exist 🤪

[grave osprey]

Todays a good day!

Reliant tier 4
Voyager tier 3
Ops 43
Random latinum
Compo from jokely x 2

[rare vale]

While I completely understand and sympathize, comments like this do nothing to help. They don't care if FTP or low spenders quit. Your ultimatum means nothing to them. Honestly, the only thing which will change things is if the spenders actually begin to demand better of scopely... which is slowly starting to happen. Hopefully Scopely changes their game model to be fun, fair, and affordable for all levels of players, not just the wealthy.

[tropic crown]

Wait this game still get new players?

[devout pivot]

That’s what they say

[tepid bramble]

Nah, once the well starts to dry up, (which is most definitely is) they will try for a final squeeze (which we are most likely seeing this year) and they will suddenly shut the game down. For the game developers these days….this is the way.

We will try to log in one day and bamf…it’s gone. Even though we got a roadmap the day before.

Who wants to try and say I am wrong?

[storm oracle]

Fix the bugs instead of doing stupid question answer events

[prime socket]

Y’all need to work on the basics. For example, when you click the attack button, your ship ACTUALLY ATTACKS THE TARGET. Or when you hit recall, YOUR SHIP RECALLS. The bugs are multiplying.

[sleek sparrow]

Posting a quiz today can only be to troll us. I half think this is a social experiment to see how much people will endure. How people are still supporting this car crash with their money is beyond me.

[gray nexus]

Time for players to create a Trivia quiz of all the Scopely fails.

[kind vale]

<@&509690795536941056> Feedback survey hasn't been updated properly

[reef siren]

How usefull is reading for understanding question?

[idle summit]

What they mean to stay is, the in-game news posted a Survey notice for Update 80. The hyperlink in that notice links to the Survey for Update 79.

[rapid sorrel]

We still get no message when a player joins or leaves the alliance 🤔

[fallen spear]

I seriously can't be bothered to do that 💩 for a few lousy points and for even lousier rewards 🤷🏼‍♂️

[tidal notch]

Should be updated in a minute or two

[twin cliff]

This system can’t figure out that I’ve done the most obvious, and basic, task of all, logged in for a second day. I’ve logged out and back in a half dozen times, I’ve even tried logging in on both my PC and my phone, but I can’t seem to get credit for logging in. The system has no issue recognizing that I’ve completed every other day 2 task but 1 already, but can’t seem to figure out that I’ve been logged in to do them. Why is this so complicated? Logging in should a given the moment I even pull up the task list.

[rose tapir]

Had the news notification for the feedback survey like 8 times now. I clear it and 10 mins later it's back on my screen. Hilarious considering you people don't even read the feedback or you do and just do the opposite. Stop harassing us with news announcements. Once cleared they shouldn't need clearing TEN MORE TIMES

[sleek sparrow]

Why bother with a survey so early on when most people haven't really experienced the new arc? If you only care what spenders think just send it them.

[twin cliff]

It would be cool if they’d actually let us buy something with older event store currency. Especially the ones that were PAID for with money, but then real life stuff, and they end event and I get stuck having spent money on nothing at all, just useless currencies laughing at me every-time I open my inventory.

[grim obsidian]

I think the best question in the whole survey is "Are you Ops 70?" yes or no... lol... so basically if I'm not.. I'm betting my answers are going into the recycle bin. er.. I mean.. filing cabinet

[agile lynx]

I am ops 64, I have a tier 5 minerva and so far getting 6 star transogen canisters/containers is a pain, I also have an inventory of 3 4 and 5 star containers/canisters I can never do anything with because I'm past those grades now. Give us a way to convert them up the ranks, I'll take a terrible conversion rate over them just sitting there doing nothing

[kind vale]

Sent you a PM with problems on the survey.

[grim obsidian]

this is why they stay silent... be quiet enough and everyone will go away and leave them alone

[sleek sparrow]

Even the surveys a mess. Leaving aside for a second most players won't have experienced most of the things being asked about. The order of answers keeps flipping from most positive to most negative and vise versa.

[deep rune]

why i cant log in the game !? is maitainance still up!? relm ...
not sure

[tidal notch]

Who's staying silent?

[grim obsidian]

ok... I guess you're not at this point...but when you start looking at the history, many good points being brought up, and the silence is deafening.
We've done this before, players complain, giving feedback, raising legitimate concerns, you say its been raised, nothing happens, nothing changes, more garbage released, players complain again...and the cycle continues. Then you state that player feedback is important... send out a survey about an arc on Day 2, for things that most players having experienced... but alas.. I'm betting things still won't change... I'm not Ops 70, so my opinion doesn't matter.

On an unrelated note… I’ve been mining for 17 hrs now, and this is the dent I’ve made in the first milestone. Many others have raised the issue of unattainable goals for this event, and yet, nothing has changed… and no.. giving the option to buy the event out is garbage… not an option.. if that is the best option then this event should be marked as such and not in the normal realm

[cosmic hinge]

I can't get badgey to message me to ever take part in the quizzes. when I tried messaging him right now I got this:

[tidal notch]

might need to adjust your DM privacy settings

[tidal notch]

And this has been raised. For now the event has been adjusted to be a heroic, but I'm still following up on any other changes we can make, but don't have any update.

[tidal notch]

Also you do raise a good point about the surveys we send out and doing a better job highlighting when we do incorporate player feedback.

[storm dove]

So because you mess up, instead of compensation or adjusting it you just add heroic

[vast nest]

Can we get surveys later though? The day after arc fall wont give you actual data

[tepid bramble]

Are you surprised? Last arc many of us didn’t complete the meta because of the bs P1ATA events, and his answer was, (paraphrase) “devs said it’s doable, so nothing would change.

[tidal notch]

I said I was following up with further adjustments but I don't have any updates right now.

[tidal notch]

This is something that I've raised. Some of the questions are about events that haven't launched yet.

[storm dove]

I had a small bit of hope when they said this will be different, that they made it a fun interesting arc.
@tidal notch no you said we have adjusted it to heroic. That's not adjusting anything just an easy way out. Tons of people are not going to finish this event because it's done this poorly.

[tidal notch]

That's consistent with the feedback that I heard yesterday and today. I'm seeing if there's any other changes that can be made but don't have anything official yet....

[storm dove]

@tidal notch I think our main feedback here is that we don't want an Arc that he complicated systems in place just to make sure that either we pay a lot of money or play nonstop in order to complete it.
So right now this Arc is horrible, it's like all the feedback is completely ignored.

Also this isn't against you in any way, I understand as community manager you get the brunt of all the feedback. That's not easy to deal with

[prime arrow]

Perfectly put, take a bow.

[molten cedar]

I just wonder how much "literally every arc is terrible" feedback its going to take.

I do spend on this game but there is nothing in this even worth spending on. Spending to progress through some terrible rewards and also having to grind for an eternity is not fun.

The promo video made this event seem fun and different. Its more of the same stuff that we have all complained about for months except worse.

[nova sierra]

This is completely ridiculous and silly to put out this survey 24 hours after the patch because we haven't done most of this. Whoever decided to put this out needs a reality check

[neon frigate]

looks like a bad joke - you can't even open a ticket / every ticket gets closed automaticaly becore you are supposed to write down your issue

[nova sierra]

Here's more of this ridiculous nonsense. We haven't even done any of these. I'm just clearing out The survey and I'm not going to fill it out. This is just completely silly. Either that, or I'll just rate everything very poorly. Seriously Scopely, take the survey down, this is crazy.

Or, just ask us about the previous arc, and then give us a new one in a week or two

[tidal notch]

Yeah... I've raised this.

[slow vector]

Game performance continues to get worse with each patch. It takes multiple tries to get a miner on a node in the new systems, and multiple attempts to recall home, etc. Moving across the system can involve having you click go then having the ship stop a dozen times before getting to its target. Getting stuck in warp or told the ship can't do that right now bugs are also amplified there

[prime arrow]

This is my thing too. We’ve got bugs that haven’t been addressed since WoK 1!

[twin cliff]

What a joke these are, why even pretend like we’re going to get officer shards, when there’s a 50 chest limit, and 5 chests got me 1 single rare officer shard. What a sham!

[neon frigate]

I got some issues...
1st of all the tripple shooting is malfunctioning - it's aleayse closing the ticket automaticaly before you are even supposed to describe the issue...
2nd the weekly gorn event reward does not change to anything useful after the gorn evescarator is already built. It can not be scrapped for recources - it makes no sence to built more than one...
now we got transogen - it can be mined super slowly in hazard space - btw why is "suicide" crnsored in allianz chat? - however it is impossible to mine enough for event and you send your surveyships to certain death...
and there are attacking ships but the loot you get from them can not be rafined...
also the malgunctioning chat has not been fixed for years...
it eats up call to armadas randomly and sometimes whole private chat sections just dissapear - this bug is probably as old as the "original" augment space auto attack mechanism is not working because it randomly generates 2 hostiles at once...
can't you finaly fix some of your bugs and emploey content creators and developers that scrualy play this game and know what they do?

[fluid mist]

you at least got a rare officer i just did a 10 chest pull and got mats and latinum like I need more latinum when I have 450m refined but hey 220k is gonna improve my day sure.....

[twin cliff]

This arc had so much build up and the grind is way worse that the expectations from the start of WOK pt 1, yet the only way to complete is $$$. I’m about ready to pull the plug on this game, but kind of upsetting how much money you’ll have taken from me for an unusable game. Why pretend like you care about player feedback? The survey is asking questions about things we haven’t even started yet, but something tells me this entire arc is going to be “heroic” by week’s end. The bugs are never fixed, you continue to just create pain points for gameplay that can only be remedied with money. Killing the game as you go.

[slow vector]

The bigger problem with these, imo, is that they felt great the first time this ran but since then we've gotten choice rewards for every arc and this isn't special or particularly great anymore

[neon frigate]

I remember the original meaning of "heroic" in gameplay... increased dungeon or raid difficulty in exchange for better loot
how does it come, that it's now misused to discribe pay to win?

[still sequoia]

Completely a fair fight

[lavish dagger]

<@&509690795536941056> so i'm assuming there will be research for transogen tempest resistance in the forge once the button is fixed, is that correct?

[bold marlin]

Hell, if you want feedback for an arc that’s already broken within hours and generated a lot of dissatisfaction with the community, well I’m your huckleberry!

Filled in and didn’t hold back.

The fact that you gave a mining boost to a Klingon Warrior demonstrates how little you care about anything. Have you people even watched Star Trek?

[humble furnace]

🤣 you saying the Klingons are not independent? They’re not all warriors, they have doctors, scientists, cooks!

[limber steeple]

Since the meta officers depend on the type of hostile/armada/entity we're attacking it'd be really great if you could let us filter our officers based on the hostile we're trying to crew against. Real life the last 1.5 years has pretty much limited me to just doing dailies and now that Im trying to get back into the game I have no idea what ship or officers I should be using for the majority of the content. If you could try to do something in-game to help us figure that all out that doesn't require memorizing that one text string we sped through a year ago it's be super cool. Otherwise I feel like my days in this game are numbered simply b/c I can't keep up with the monthly releases and wild pace of grind addition that this game has.

[tidal notch]

Good idea. Will pass on.

[rancid ledge]

Still waiting for a reply.

[tidal notch]

I'll need more to go on...

[rancid ledge]

I wrote to you about removing our Admiral as she doesn't come online anymore and replace her with a team mate. We need an Admiral sorted before the start of the new season so we can get things done. We have already chosen who should be Admiral. He was told we had to wait 30 days for the change but she came on for 10 seconds and we have to wait another 30 days but we don't have the time to wait as we need an Admiral to sort out new territories.

[tidal notch]

Dunno if I'll be able to help, but this seems like a DM conversation. Let's move it over there.

[junior sierra]

Tiny alliance on my server has had an offline admiral for 4 years 😂

[rancid ledge]

I sent an email early last week explaining the situation but got no reply and the new season starts very soon. When I tried to use the automated system it kept sending me back to the start and repeating the same question over and over again.

[tidal notch]

Sent you a friend request

[rancid ledge]

Can't get territories without an active Admiral.

[molten iris]

Only need a commodore to join the takeover

[graceful lotus]

The refinery cost for the common transogen needs reduced by 50-75%. 100k needed and only getting 6500 an h/r with level 7 building. either reduce the cost or get rid of the hazard in the system.

[young yacht]

So really Scopely, do you still have to spawn enemies in the new token areas? What is this crap. But of course you have to expect everything 💩 and if not, the token is gone, no loot.

[molten iris]

picard maneuver works

[verbal pulsar]

THIS is unfounded. Only Improvement I have seen so far is blatant disregard of Fixing what is already functioning before adding new mechanics laden routines. With the Utmost requests, please discontinue the Events requirements that NEED purchases from the "Store".

[limber mesa]

the gorn eviscerator event goes away once you've earned enough blueprints from it to build an eviscerator.

if you still see it after building one, it means you got blueprints outside the weekly event.

[twin cliff]

I am not understanding how the game arbitrarily ranks players who’ve all got the same score, giving some players a substantially better reward, and giving other players with the same scores, no rewards at all. How is this remotely fair??

[finite mural]

it's purely random

[twin cliff]

And how is that even remotely fair for events that pay out rewards?? If players have the same score they should either all get the same rewards, or none should receive a reward.

[mild steppe]

Dailies aren't scoring s42

[errant brook]

S125 -collecting gift chests and refinery chests not possible

[onyx sandal]

Same. Refinery, gift chests, faction purchases. nothing works.

[blazing kayak]

Can’t even collect dailies chests…. What is wrong these days… <@&509690795536941056>

[quick gale]

Yep can’t claim dailies 135

[loud flare]

Same issue - Communication Error

[marsh abyss]

same here

[onyx sandal]

It started working for a minute. Right back to the error. Collected half my stuff. Now it's all going to be out of sync for tomorrow. Wonderful.

[spiral stump]

Cloaks not counting either.

[solid creek]

Game is unplayable now, can’t collect anything

[hollow plover]

#🛠-known-issues message so, i've already skipping update 80 content and what is left is also not working 🥳

[cyan locust]

Attacking isn’t counting either

[stray forum]

What about bring STFC to PlayStation and Xbox and switch 2 any chance of a port

[frosty moat]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! ROFL!

[storm oracle]

You want feedback, then I get asked which ops I am and after a few sites I get asked are you ops 70 ? 🤣You don't even listen at the feedback thing to your players?

[grave star]

they cant even make it work on a mobile phone ,or computer, what makes you think they have the skills to port it to other devices

[stray forum]

I’ve seen it done on Star Trek Online right from general chat

[grave star]

and STO works and is good, because its not a scopley game

[rough mural]

This is the best game ever.. Weird.. I'm a 65

[stray forum]

Scopley could, By STO devs know how to port any game I see the power of good intent

[rough mural]

This every 5 seconds is awesome too

[remote flume]

That and fixing kirshara. It bugs out almost every other kill sometimes and then I’m sitting there wondering why it exists at all.

[remote flume]

“I’m not ops 70, so my opinion doesn’t matter” hits hard. So much truth there. 😞

[sharp salmon]

Omg 😱, I’m a Winner over and over , rebooted , can’t get into events because the Winner is saying I’m a Winner and it won’t go away , an unexpected server error occurred while processing the request , Uhmm sounds Bad , Thankyou so much Scopley

[grave star]

it exists for when it was 1st released all the mugs went and paid $99 for it

[rough mural]

They launch a new pack for the game to work and I missed it? $99 not get an unexpected error

[old plover]

<@&509690795536941056> personally I think that the pvp brackets need tightening. This is in no way fair at all. I should not be able to hit someone this much lower than me. How do you expect people to keep playing when this can happen. You changed arena bracketing to make it fair pvp so I think its time for a review of the pvp brackets especially with the intending G7 release.

[sharp salmon]

Oh, reach level 3 to unlock daily Goals , this Arc is breaking down fast

[pale owl]

before creating new content Scopely should make the older content more reliable first. The only thing that they can do good is cashing money from the players

[storm dove]

How about reverting the changes of the code for this entire Arc so we can play the game and you can actually fix the arc?

[raven atlas]

@tidal notch
Is it correct/as intended lvl30- players dont have any arc related events/missions?
What is the idea behind this?

[severe vessel]

You could delete quarter of the game content and players wouldn’t notice as so much just isn’t used anymore. Might free the servers up if instead of adding more systems the ones that sit doing nothing were reused or overridden. Same with currency, materials

[finite mural]

40 has been the general level for new stuff for a while now

[craggy pebble]

any suggestions for the game that works ?

[storm oracle]

If you pay enough your opinion matters it's not ops related

[fossil siren]

Really great job again. Only the off switch is not bugged

[versed blade]

I think the month will be over before the game is up and running again, but as compensation there will be another golden shield.

It's getting more and more pathetic...

[fickle herald]

Thx Scopely for another great Game Experience . Stop bringing new Stuff . Fix your Game !!!!

[zinc hinge]

Theres nothing for us players in the 20s-35. At least in WoK we could take part in events. This is just dry. Not everyone has the money or time to grind to ops 35.

[errant brook]

so annoying

[finite mural]

when it does that, hit recall and then cancel, should let you move again

[cunning oriole]

Getting errors all over the place when claiming something: gift, IA, refinery ...

[full gate]

dailies not counting

[crisp echo]

Worse by the second now. A new low!

[sturdy barn]

Are you sure? 🤣🤣🤣

[quick gale]

Mining didn’t count during these issues, so let’s go mine it all again for dailies

[storm oracle]

You mean the 300m sms? 🤣

[full gate]

Dailies not counting
Events not counting
Some refinery claims not crediting

[crisp echo]

I’ve claimed the same dailies 3 times, done mining twice, nothing for that! Maybe heads need to be banged together, like at school🤣

[vast oyster]

<@&509690795536941056> Can we go back to the promise of quality over quantity? We had never more content being pushed out with a higher bug amount than currently. At this point nearly the whole community is fine with you not publishing new content for 3 months but having big bugfixes each week and maybe a QoL update. We currently experience a higher drop out rate and people, mostly spenders, saying they wont bother with this arc, then ever before. This cant be your business model.

[crisp echo]

And, now, miner returns, unmolested from normal space & needs repairs. C’mon guy’s! And, is it auto time out, like the naughty step here?

[rocky cloud]

GOOD JOB SCOPELY

[manic sapphire]

I gave up today. Sick of wasting various supplies and my time

[exotic depot]

What freakn request. Only request is for a stable game. Guess that fits scopely response 🤷‍♂️

[quasi haven]

No matter what you want to redeem. Every time, an error message appears and nothing is counted, even if the redemption was successful.

[fossil siren]

I'm starting to doubt that 😂

[manic sapphire]

Uhm, that's the problem...nothing is working

[copper viper]

Anyone knows if you get all the rewards oe just the one for your next level? Example: i am at level 12, do i only get the 20, or also the reward for level 10?

[nova sierra]

Wonder if Walter gets upset at his super yacht manufacturers when common issues aren’t addressed

[sharp salmon]

Sounds like things are normal , I can not believe that people still spend money 💰 on this product that is clearly stuffed

[storm oracle]

Scopeley seems to not care at all, must be enough who pay still 🤣

[bold marlin]

Yep, just claimed all on my my building resources and just got a graphic of gaining the Nadion Supply. The other 8 claims didn’t appear. I’ve no idea if I got them, no idea if they’re in my inventory, which has no logical explanation as to how it sorts anything at all, it’s just all over the place. It’s telling that the store got a search function before player inventories eh?

I’ve put in tickets before about missing claims but it’s a waste of time at this point. All you get is a reply saying that you got them in your inventory. But that will be pure BS as I’ve no way to prove them wrong.

I simply don’t trust the word of anyone at Scopely anymore. They claim they test and everyone knows that’s a lie because every single arc launch is a clusterbomb of woe, every single month, without fail. Because they don’t test at all, it’s proven they don’t test every month on patch days.

[nova sierra]

Quality Assurance aren’t words in Walter Driver’s vocabulary

[fleet moss]

Our highest level player, super helpful, carrying many of our smaller players, sharing knowledge, has quit the game today because of the quality of new work from Scopely. Our entire alliance is grieving and more and more are considering the same.

Thanks so much Scopely for introducing grindy arcs and more and more bugs instead of taking a break from new content and focusing on fixing all that you broke.

You truly are a "one of a kind" company. Not in a good way.

[glossy ingot]

Where is this research?

[dull vortex]

Star Path

[bold marlin]

Of course it is. I mean where else would you put it? 🤦‍♂️

[copper viper]

Star Path tree

[tropic crown]

There almost nothing to do at ops 39 and what there is to do is not fun at all.

[bold marlin]

Well I must be doing something wrong on my Ops 39 account because I spend a couple of hours a day doing grinds.

Where as on my Ops 48 account I’ve far too to be getting on with and on that account and don’t even touch any grinds less than a year old. The older stuff keeps me occupied just fine for a few hours a day.

[carmine yew]

That's very annoying, I dont need to level any lower decks anymore. they are already maxed officers!! yet i have to waste all my Pioneer's Crests into getting that 6/6 to be able to continue my strike team research

[tropic crown]

I am talking about for the current arc and I stand by my statement. What there is to do is an un fun nightmare grind. I want fun content not a second job and Scopley doesn’t give an F or is clueless a F.

[wooden sand]

it wouldn't be so bad if the servers weren't as unstable as they are. Io think i've had to reset the game 10-15 times in the past hour alone

[quasi haven]

Not currently counted either

[twin cliff]

The entire tree is like this, forces you to spend massive amounts of pioneers crests on stuff you don’t want, in order to progress onto what you do care about. All the while the success percentages are utter lies, as I’ve failed 9 out of 10 times on the rares that have success rates in the 90+ percentages, they require you to tie up the strongest officers for nearly a week, unless you spend speed ups that are very few and far between, unless, of course, you spend money. The entire tree is designed to make you just say, “forget it, let me just buy the cost efficiency, or the crests, or the adaptive algorithms, or the whatever else they decide to come up with to create a new pain point that can only be remedied with more spending.” I, for one, and getting very tired of it.

[storm dove]

Currently still can't exchange 3* Transogen Canisters, any insight into this?

[warm field]

<@&509690795536941056>

[lyric pagoda]

performance of game on 131 is terrible lag is crazy i thought you were fixing it seems worse today

[odd prawn]

We still need a toggle for those tips on the loading screens....

[humble furnace]

If your referring to the 0 rep gain this is normal, you gaining the same rep in all and lose the same rep in all 3 so result shows 0

[wooden spire]

Fix the game.

[muted shuttle]

After careful consideration and allowing the expected performance issues to subside somewhat, I can finally say, this arc is the biggest pile of 💩 ever thrown at us.

[analog pecan]

Sound business model, making players check into discord before playing so they can find out what new bugs popped up so they don't get cheated. Thank God Scopely doesn't produce programming that people's lives depend on

[bold marlin]

Ah, I. That case you’re correct. If you’re below OP’s 40, Scopely don’t give a hoot.

[muted shuttle]

I’m thinking back to Ops 39 as the golden years. Game was a lot more fun.

[vivid frigate]

I like the change to the new systems hazards. You can now enter a system, hit a hostile and move out (if lucky) without taking hazard damage. But I fear this is causing lags if all players do it that way. 😄 @raw fiber
What I would like to see instead: Deactivate the hazards in the new system in general. Always. It just ***!

[bold marlin]

I had intended for my 39 account to stay as that indefinitely, or until I’d maxed every possible ship faction and research. Alas, due to the games noughties UI design and my own muscle memory, I accidentally clicked upgrade on my OP’s building.

So here I am, counting down the 46 days till it flips to 40 and the unremitting pain of grind and BS descends upon me.

My other account’s OP’s 48 counter will also never go above 49. I have no desire to enter the clusterbomb of woe awaiting me in G5.

And the more Scopely prattle about wanting players to progress, the less and less I’m inclined to do so.

Tragic I know, but I have this lovely mental image of being the very last OP’s 49 player in the entire game, when it’s beyond 100 Op’s and new players start at 50. And Scopely asking me why I won’t go up to 50, and that’s the point where I channel my inner Commander Kruge and tell them, ‘Because you wish it!!’

For the benefit of those at Scopely that know nothing about Star Trek, so most of them, Kruge was in Star Trek III and is conspicuously absent from the officer rota in the game.

[muted shuttle]

Very poetic and nicely put.

[haughty sail]

might want to feed the hamsters, servers are lagging like mad

[proven shoal]

howto? all nodes were occupied by lvl40-60 and now it's too late but would not make it either way

[placid ermine]

@scopley kudos on the ability hints above the artifact tabs in the transogen refinery. LOVE THAT. more of this plz!

[errant brook]

the event store doesn't blow me away yet...

[cosmic knoll]

it would of been a great idea if the hazards in the new arc systems had NO counter ability ... would be a very nice way of ensuring a node hog gets flushed. opportunity missed

[remote flume]

If you’re ops 70, trust me… money has been spent! 🤣

I did hear that one f2p guy is almost there? So pretty soon that might not be the case hahah

[remote flume]

It doesn’t take that long to reach G4 in 2025 even as a f2p. Not defending the lack of content for lower ops but ehhh

[unborn mist]

This game went to the pit of hell

[warm dirge]

WINNER still pops up for stuff collected 11 hours ago

[mental cloud]

Ah yes, failed points is starting. Gonna just pretend this arc doesn't exist and work on the existing things since its overtuned and 100% not worth my time.

[peak charm]

When you do specials and extras for whatever reason, like the recent one. You should make it available for everyone not just 40+ players.

[oblique relic]

Nice to know what missions relate to what 😦 Just picked up the 3 new ones, and had then all play their starts. Finally figured which the 'continuation' mission was, but it wasn't immediately obvious. Naming things sensibly isn't always their strong suit.

[muted shuttle]

Can someone get a message to Scopes Developers, when a game is on a live server, there are more than one person in the system. Sort the stupid new hostiles out.

[tropic crown]

Have to mine for a mission an no nodes all have whales one them!

[muted shuttle]

Whales need nodes as well.

[fallen wasp]

I hate this arc so far. I don't know if they have somebody new designing things but this arc is the Grindiest yet. I thought grinding those stupid augment was bad. This arc feels like a punishment. If we did something wrong, announce it so some of us can burn sage, or paint the walls or whatever we need to do to make this stop (And honestly if pricing I've heard is accurate for just starting the Vengeance, I'll be surprised if whales don't start walking away from the greed)

[prime socket]

Dropping 20 invading enemies into a system without adjusting the hostile spawn cap really decreases how many hostiles are in the system (see 60 trans system). And I doubt that many invading enemies are needed anyway. All they do is clutter the system.

[nova sierra]

Scopely squeezed a lot grind into this arc… 3 rarity’s of a new resource to mine, 1 new auto grind hostile (this isn’t bad), 1 new gotta grind hostile, 2 rarity’s of armadas and lets top it all off with another grinder in Mak’ala crucible… that’s 2- 3 arcs worth of stuff historically, and they are probably wondering why people are upset.

[sand bear]

You can literally come to this chat and tell Scopely what both you and the community want, but they will actively ignore it. It's like we're handing them the answers to a test but they instead insist on answering with all own, wrong answers.

[hollow blaze]

Wanted to put on a 7 day shield until I decide that I truly end the game. Thanks for making it sure.

[agile fractal]

I ve been getting this screen for three months now. I m glad I m not alone

[ripe hornet]

@rigid vapor get rid of Tribbleshooting and let us post what the issues are!!!

I am sick of going through everything just for the conversation to get closed!!!! I may close the game. Permanently. And I have played from the start!!

[prime socket]

Go the email route. Their responses don’t improve, but you avoid the tribbleshooting hassle.

[shell jungle]

where's this Gold Rush event?

[rough niche]

What stupido company would overlap 2 events at the same time?

💩💩

I know!

[sterile violet]

In regards to the new event. Had I known that 3* resources were useless I never would have went to G4.

We should be allowed to convert the 3* resources to 4*.

[tidal notch]

https://tenor.com/view/tobin-batra-2x08-on-it-zoeysplaylist-zep-gif-24110444

[tranquil ferry]

Thanks for disabling the borg cutting beam in transogenic space. It was far too useful and helpful and made the grind suck a little less. I can see why you got rid of it. We MUST be required to grind 10 hours a day and there should be nothing allowed that makes it suck a little less. SMH Way to do it on Cube Thursday too.

[pale garnet]

flashpoint dirs from some hurak tag bundle, no idea what this bundle is supposed to be, only got missions, and gold rush mission has no actual event/mission called this to even attempt to complete, how much more messed up can you guys get, give a mission with a name that goes with the mission, so no idea what i am looking for or even that supposed tag bundle with dirs, where is that , what is that, be more accurate about what and where

[charred frigate]

Is that in the event store?

Edit as per Arsenic's reply:
lol - well, looks like I get to make a different ticket. I don't have it. Ops56. Thanks, I was wondering where those directives came from.

[finite mural]

yes

[sterile violet]

That’s great 😊

[unborn birch]

were we gifted directives, i saw they took the hurak tag exchange down after i pulled

[finite mural]

if you pulled before the fix you need to contact support

[unborn birch]

but were we gifted some as well

[trim skiff]

They removed the C-12 from the store, right before starting an arc where you NEED it. Good going, $copely, losing all that $$$, lol

[vivid nebula]

I never got directives gifted, got some when I pulled in the store

[nova sierra]

I'm nearly there.

[silk silo]

I just like knowing I'm not the only one completely ignoring the new content. Abysmal mining times, biohazard adding complications to an already annoying mining area and chasers. An expensive research tree that only has a one time payout. Basically only targeted for the 70s or credit card warriors.
This arc was either not thought out at all, or thought out by greed.

[livid spear]

Too mutch to do on events and other grinds. Killer...

[shut aurora]

Where’s the details on a weekend sms/slb spend event?

[analog carbon]

Feedback: Maybe have the SLBs for transogen mining not span 10 ops lvls. getting a miner to max tier at 42 vs 50 is a completely different story. Also an ops 42 can not realistically be expected to compete in a hostile killing SLB with a G4 uncommon ship while others in the SLBs use G4 Rares and epics.

[sleek sparrow]

Not really a fix then was it?

[young cliff]

Can we get Annorax updated to be useful on the new grinds? Gave us this fantastic captain ability and then bounced us back to square one with absurd loot requirements rendering the other loot officers useless.

[low thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/hands-up-working-as-intended-smile-move-fingers-gif-17763806

[nova sierra]

It's because they do a 20% Apex shred per weapon hit and basically nullify him. He doesn't need to be updated... that buff needs to be reduced or removed on the new hostiles. They fire about 4 to 5 times per round. So you're looking at a massive Apex barrier reduction

[young cliff]

I was referring to his captains loot ability. Loot amounts are a pain in G6 with Sarris and Flashpoint

[zinc terrace]

Really missed a naming opportunity with this new invasion. Should have been called the Hurk. At least that’s cannon from ds9

[agile lynx]

So it took me 100 kills of the new lvl 58 hostiles since I can't reliably kill the 60s but I completed stage 1 only to discover stage 2 is over 300 hostiles. That only spawn in 2 systems. With everyone else also trying to kill those hostiles. Can we get more systems or something like you did with augment stuff because this grind sucks otherwise.

[vivid nebula]

Scopely and canon are 2 things that never quite meet

[ocean surge]

https://tenor.com/view/transformers-megatron-the-age-of-primes-has-ended-d-16-transformers-one-gif-6636461636226491593

[zinc terrace]

Aren’t the drop ships everywhere? Just all different levels.

[agile lynx]

I mean, sure there's lots of dropships but the points value per kill depends on hostile level and the level 58s only spawn in 2 systems.

[dusky flame]

General Feedback - I think Scopely needs to get out of the “It’ll suck in month one but don’t worry it will get better!!” This is a game. It should always be fun. So far this arc is just frustrating.

[cerulean quest]

Take more time to think events over … like 2 months … then play the game yourself, then ask other players … then adjust all you have done … and then release an arc …. It’s like you guys come up with stupid ideas and make it in a week and drop it the next

[tepid basin]

Back to back awful arcs, message couldn't be clearer, time to find a better game, not that any rational person would call this a game

[lusty orchid]

<@&509691205798592532> serious feed back on today’s hunting event. There are not enough of the Hurak drop ships in a system, this is hurt even more when there are lots of chasers as it seems to be a system total hostile cap

[storm oracle]

And again a scoring where we have to be 24/7 in Game, this is an absolute joke
WORST ARC EVER

[keen loom]

Don’t worry - Scopley will hear the player feedback and laude that adjustments were made …. Until the next arc launch and series of events.

[dawn flame]

I have redeeming this since last night. dozens and dozens of times on Windows and iOS

[little cave]

Played the game for 7 years but flashpoint is really ne extreme disappointment the raff is much too high and how many npc should you shoot then most still have a life am extremely disappointed by flashpoint

[muted sparrow]

You are out of your ever flipping minds with these grinds to redeem one chest. Screw your stingy sigma dilithium too

[wooden spire]

Fix the game.

[slender ledge]

<@&509690795536941056> When will new loops be simpler? The loops you have created the last few years are too complex. Too many loops in loops. Harvest something, refine it, get something, repeat first step a few times, get something more, and you can do another loop step of harvesting and refining, do one more and then you get what you want, and then go back to step one. Lots of credits and credit levels, lots of material needed in different shapes and forms. It ruins the fun. It interrupts the flow of the game. It's too complicated.

Focus on fun user stories. Each arc is less fun.

[limber steeple]

I don't even know where to begin anymore. Everything just feels overly and unnecessarily cluttered, scattered & complicated. I completely missed yesterday's transogen mining events. Didn't see/find them util they were over. Armadas get called and sped up before I can figure out which ship it needs and/or crew it appropriately. The crew/fleet presets are clunky and will require me to miss at least a day of playing the game in order to get them sorted out in any functional way. I'm at a point where I login sometimes and decide I'd rather go do the dishes and walk the dog than figure out what all the game wants from me today

[glacial spruce]

I have a suggestion for a 6 month trial program to fix the issues with this game.

Have live video feeds of the devs and arc runners and affix them with shock collars. Players can spend $100 on Fix the Game Primes. Those allow the purchaser to zap the Scopely person of their choice.

When the umber of complaints drop to less than every third comment from verified players the program ends.

[grim obsidian]

This is what we'd see in those feeds

[errant zinc]

Or, Scopely and a stable client…

[stark dust]

When Scopely said quality over quantity they were not talking about player experience. They meant making you buy more quality premium packs over the standard quantity purchase of basic battlepasses.

[hollow sundial]

I’m sorry Scopely… many (including me) have loved this game for a very long time… we have stuck with it through thick and thin for, in my case, 5 years…………..

However…

Things are now crossing a line that I and I’m sure many are struggling to cross. These last two arcs require so many hours of grinding… my RL situation just doesn’t afford me the sheer volume of hours required to genuinely accomplish even half of the recent content and events. I had an obsession with finishing every event and grind everyday and I logged in willingly to get my daily full house and a few hours achieved that. Nowadays, 3 hours barely scratches the surface and the fun element and the sense of accomplishment has gone and my patience is waring thin now.

These events are stupid and missing one ruins it all and metas are missed.

[oak hawk]

I have found myself playing other games in times I would have played STFC ... just way too much and the passive things all end with my having to rebuild ships to set back out again every so often ... That's not fun.

[rare vale]

Scopely keeps saying to give constructive feedback on arcs, but Flashpoint is indicating to me that they don't listen even if we do. Im seriously struggling to find a redeeming quality with this arc. We've got multiple new grinds because we now have way too many new mats/currencies/hostile loot to aquire, an overcomplicated loop, a new building to work on, and everything in the refinery and event store is far too expensive to have any sort of sustainability. This arc is literally the opposite of what players have been stating they want to see.

I have it, here's my constructive criticism... actually listen to the criticism and suggestions you're receiving, because it doesn't seem like you are. Make the game fun, affordable, and rewarding for ALL players regardless of the time or money they have available to put into the game.

As for my mention of time, the last several arcs are requiring far too much time for many players. We have jobs and families, just like the devs, so why don't they seem like they appreciate that fact? When making an arc, please consider all of the existing content taking up our time as is. Most players simply don't have the time needed to aquire everything we need to aquire in a day anymore. The IA has helped some, but it's not enough when you add more in one arc then you've removed from all past arcs.

[final tangle]

Scopely sucka. First you steal my money and don't give me what I paid for, claiming that you did even though I have screenshot showing you didn't. Now you block any purchases on my account. I quit this game. Your lack of customer care has caused you to lose a paying customer. Congrats!!

[errant brook]

The person who brought hazard into play shall suffer from diarrhea for thirty days - every arc

[lyric ibex]

At this point why not release the new specialty ship that will come next arc now.
It looks like a lot of us not in the higher levels can defeat a drop ship
I’ve only been lvl 42 for a little bit my val is 16 mil and any crew combo I try get be killed in about eight rounds

[bright forum]

With these ridiculous grind arcs you guys are slowly killing it for your core players. We like to play casually and sometimes throw in a few hours to get a decent reward. The last two arcs have demanded far too much time for average rewards. Up until the WoK arcs i would complete all bar a few heroics. Now even the standard events have become a massive multi hour grind to complete.
You clearly do not hear the majority of players.
What happened to quality over quantity? These events are proving to be a bit too much.

[zinc moon]

This game feels so broken, i'm not sure i want to spend another cent on it. I may even quit and go buy a PS5

[minor prairie]

Scopely, if you cannot make monthly arcs that are stable at launch then it is in your own best interest to either do them less frequently or make them smaller. Monthly content doesn't lead to more spending if players struggle to be able to play the game. Players that can actually play the game are the ones that will spend money on it.

[stiff latch]

Anyone know where the gold rush event is?

[tidal notch]

That will be coming with the 4th stage of the IMS.

[stiff latch]

Check your DMs when you have a moment.

[slow vector]

The issues in the new systems seem to have eased since changing the tick rate of the hazard, not nearly as glitchy now for me

[slow perch]

@tidal notch I really want to know if there any way at all to complete stage 3 without bazillion hours of grinding or card swipes?

Any input is appreciated..

[tidal notch]

I've been passing on feedback about how much time the IMSs would take and will hopefully have an update tomorrow.

[terse basalt]

What’s the point of giving players events they can’t possibly complete? I’m a new ops40 and cannot kill any of the dropships. Tried maxed Enterprise and maxed augur. No go. Tried tier 2 NX. Also no go. Same for Protector. Total waste of time and major fun killer.

[wary citrus]

WHERE ARE THE MATS!!!!! how are we supposed to progress? choice rewards aren't enough we need rewards with MATSS this event SUCKS!

[vast violet]

Can’t find any rare honor guard solo arms. This is terrible

[daring kettle]

The power imbalance between the 58-62 dropships are so crazy that people from ops 54-65 are flooding the 58 hazard zone. Not a very enjoyable experience with this limitless competition.

No one but ops 66 and above is touching the level 62 dropships

[wary citrus]

@tidal notch So, you want us to Grind out Mak'ala crucible and Grind an absurd amount of hostiles that is in HAZARD SYSTEMS (which is mind blowing) and for CHANCES to get the ARMADA starts and CHANCE to get such little mats??? for what the rewards so far are NOT impressive... give us some Hazard help - #Grind4HazardProtection....

[vast violet]

Can u fix the drop rate of the rares honor guard solos crap thing

[dusky flame]

Can confirm as a strong 63 they are very rough on a g5 epic.

[wary citrus]

GET RID OF THE HAZARDS - worst mechanic in the game besides Assaults ... cause it is SO much fun having to repair your ship 100000X more times than needed -- Did I mention the FUN we are having?

[tidal notch]

This is pretty much the sentiment I've been passing on. Hope to have some updates tomorrow.

[wary citrus]

SCOPLEY not even 1 armada start, didn't we talk about letting people play the arc? when MU came out?? give us some starts. not a Chance of starts after grinding for god know how long............. and Thanks for answering Hammy!! Love you

[tidal notch]

You didn't use as many randomly capitalized words in this sentence.

[rough belfry]

Seriously? As an ops 55 mission? That is base Franklin territory and not even Franklin-A

[stone kestrel]

can the flashpoint tab get the (Heroic) tag added? also, can the future arcs. 6 months is too much to ask for with this 💩

[wary citrus]

if this is the start of a six month grind, i might just quit while i have a life

[meager parcel]

To Andy’s comment of more mats… how come at ops 63, choice rewards gives me G6 rares and all the other mats, but absolutely not a drop of Epic G5 Gas or Ore!? Not in choice nor echoes.

Makes no sense at all. Been that way for a few arcs now.

[wary citrus]

because at your ops you dont need epic mats.... you get it later ops -

[half wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-supposed-to-be-fun-alexis-alexis-rose-annie-murphy-schitts-creek-gif-20759964

[hoary saffron]

IMS event stopped scoring for me at 26k points. Any reason why that should be?

[dusky flame]

I’m a fairly strong 63. A single pull of the dropship chest costs over 9 million niblets. Maxed dex that can farm level 62 exiles pretty well gets 58k of loot from 58 and 60 drop ships per hull. Can’t kill a 62. Clearly major miscalculations have been made.

[meager parcel]

I’m ops 63. You don’t get them either. I need epic G5 mats. You have epic G4 showing. Crystal gives epic G5… why not Gas and Ore?

Crystal… G5 Epic there with Symbiosis crew. Gas with MU… nada. 👎🏼

[dusky flame]

I realized I forgot to check my chests before my last post. My bad. Chests had mode of the loot, ended up with 600k on a hull. Much better, but would still require 15 hulls to do a single pull!

[slow vector]

Correct. At some point, for reasons no one knows, scopely decided only crystal packs should have epic mats. Crystal also generally has twice as much rewarded as gas and ore. Applies to the choice rewards, event rewards, everything. Makes no sense, but... 🤷‍♂️

[terse basalt]

<@&509690795536941056> I started playing this game 4 days after it launched. I left once in the first year I think. Just stopped logging in because it became boring. I came back and it was much better. And haven’t stopped playing since I returned. This new release is the first time since I came back that I’m wondering why I still play. I’m not f2p but I only drop $20 a month on it. That’s the value I perceive. But I’m wondering if either greed, or incompetence of dev/content management is the reason the game has become increasingly unplayable. Whether the constant and persistent gameplay breaks caused by literally every arc release or the increasing focus on getting folks to spend money in order to actually play the game is the reason is beyond my reasoning, but either way it feels like the game is becoming less enjoyable and that should cause you some amount of concern as I doubt this platform would survive if the f2p and near f2p folks all started leaving. Just a note from a former interface and UX professional/professor.

[mental cloud]

Easiest way to play right now in my perspective is just to ignore the flashpoint entirely. Just focus of the BP events like normal and take this failure of an arc as a chance to catch up on older content. This Failpoint stuff is probably never gonna get touched by me since its just too much of a hassle.

[timber root]

<@&509690795536941056> The grind from Mak'ala's crucible and the Flashpoint events has tired me out so much that I didn't even complete all my normal dailies yesterday ... It. Is. Just. Too. Much.

I understand that the intent is not that we should have to complete everything every day, but then you need to make the intermediate rewards interesting too. For example for Mak'ala's crucible that would mean adding SNW Scotty shards to the intermediate steps and not just have all 10 of them at the final one. And as always we need more mats & resources.

[grand bison]

@tidal notch great way to resolve this not at all for all the players that opend the chest when it was brokeb...i got something from the ticket...the chance to open the pull again? So basically nothing. Because the events want you to kill more then enough enemies. Thought we would actually get some directives..🤣🤣

[carmine charm]

Seems intentional, they made the low G6 a kill zone to push us up in ops, I'm in the same boat with my maxed ent

[rain forum]

The Ui on mobile is completely a mess now , too many buttons. Some of which you cant make disappear. If you have given up on mobile versions of the game please let me know then i can give up too , as when i am at a desktop or laptop i will play other working games, this is only a pass the time game when i am out and about

[peak charm]

Hey STFC team ... This game is dying. And what is your solution? Give it another dose of poison! When will you finally understand what you are doing?
Do you really think I will buy packs for hundreds and thousands of euros so that I can shoot hostiles for hours?! Maybe there will be a few id***s, but many more people will simply stop playing.
The head of the game development and the entire team responsible for this mess must be thrown out on the street.

[floral crown]

Small request/feedback... As our big players all killed the rare lvl 45 invading entities, the smaller players can't do anything. Because they don't respawn. Is there a way to correct that? Because if we don't kill the rare, we won't be able to get the chest with epic directives.

[cunning tulip]

<@&509690795536941056> all f2p artefacts seem to be available in Transogen refinery, except Amelia Earhart’s Plane..
Oversight, or intentional?
🍻

[tiny axle]

There's that phrase about "scraping the bottom of the barrel" - Scopely have managed yet again to go beneath that layer where we thought scraping just wasn't possible.

the forge build another farce, how is f2p supposed to get to lv 45 to get free transwarp tokens, when f2p only get 30 build parts a day from the refinery, arc will be done and dusted before any f2p player gets there, yet another scam by scopely on the f2p player

Is any server even done with part 2 of the ims yet?

[raven jacinth]

Has anyone else noticed that their ships/crews aren't working as well as they were in previous arc?

What's stayed the same the ship and the crew

What's changed I went from ops 48 to 49 and my Mess Hall went from 73-74 so

The changes should have improved my crew/ship performance but it's actually gotten worse I could do 2 runs (before repairs were needed) in actian space in previous arc but not Now, has anyone else found this?

[humble furnace]

Have you taken into consideration everything you might have done differently. For example do you have the same FC offices seated, are your alliance TC services active. Are you 100% positive you didn’t change any crew BD (I did this once for weeks I couldn’t figure out problem 🤣… I always had Hugh on but removed him and forgot he existed)

[quaint haven]

Not even close 5166/96760

[crimson elm]

This is Impossible with the fact its limit 1, lower the cost or boost the loot dropped from chests otherwise this will be come an event many will ignore. I have killed nearly 700 Hostiles for this loot I have.... Unless I am missing a point...

[solid geyser]

Is anyone else in the UK being swindled by Scopely and Xsolla in their recent transactions, where the GBP is being converted to EUR?

As a result, when the money is withdrawn from your UK account, you are charged even more for the already outrageous pricing.

For months, Xsolla showed final costs in EUR, but was always charged the price shown in-game, until this week.

[humble furnace]

Had me concerned for a second 😄 just checked my account, i was charged the correct £ amount

[solid geyser]

Glad you have. This week, my transaction went out several quid more expensive. All I get from Scopely is contact Xsolla. Xsolla keep saying everything looks good on their end. Never thought I'd have support worse than STFC!!!

[muted shuttle]

I got a cure for that, stop giving them💷💷💷💷💷💷💷

[raven jacinth]

Yes positive I haven't changed my fleet commanders for at least 2 arcs, also same crew as it's a saved Mantis crew

[solemn crow]

What do I have to do to remove the storyline from the beginning of log-in to the game? I always have to hit the space bar or mouse clicker 68 times to be exact to start the game.

[humble furnace]

in general settings

[solemn crow]

that did not work

[tough saddle]

Something Red. My ship flies in a system getting a red haze not letting me see it beeing targeted by auto hunter cause it's also a red glow. (Fun that we need to park these every time we enter system nowadays) also this is happening in token space. At least there's no red glow but still D move. Than there's the new resources. 3 red blobs that look slightly different. Let me guess, the resources we get for the new armadas are red blobs?

[solemn crow]

it did not work I even rebooted my computer too

[quick coral]

"Yo dawg, I hear you hate grinding... here, have an arc that requires a massive amount of grinding and mining"

shocked face when people hate it

"I thought you would like being given the exact opposite of what you were asking for!"

Seriously. I don't have time for this arc. 3.5 hours mining (with 2 selkies) to get the 950k (per day) single pull? Not to mention the other grades. And the g6 hostiles are insanely strong for me, a low g6 player, so I cant kill them, and thus, cant get the relevant loot.

Gonna pass on this arc. Gonna pass on all this content.

[violet nymph]

The only word I can find for the last few days in this game is "frustrating". It should be "fun" or at least "good rewards", but it isn't. I also don't understand how monetisation on such broken buggy content is supposed to work and I really hope it doesn't so $copely sees that things have to change.

[fresh cargo]

Doing an epic of the new entities is not enough to pull a single chest, honestly 🤣

[fresh cargo]

And not able to do the rare ones, only epics out there....

[fallen wasp]

I just made the decision to sit out the rest of this Arc. Scopely has taken the general grind and more than doubled it. The mining sms was a joke and every grinding thing that comes up demands major time. Mad props to the people that are grinding an hour with 2-4 ships just to get 1/2 way through an sms, but this has just been too much work for too little reward. I'm hoping that this bites Scopely in the butt so they won't do it again

[sharp salmon]

Stop Buying Packs , only then will they pay 💰 attention

[fluid mist]

tbh I dont think that they won't do it again for every 10k of us that can't do new content 1 whale can and history of the past 6-7years states that whales are what keeps this game going and all that the company cares about. That being said they do try to make content for us lowly ftp players problem is unless we've camped or made huge "key" advances with ship power or fc power or the right primes and officers teired to right lv we just can't do anything. I'm an ops59 and not a strong one I can admit that but hitting these new hostiles lv56 ships makes me feel like I'm back at ops32 and hitting stuff with a salidan I won't even mention how the mining new mats is going because we all know that answer. Needless to say they made a decent grind with this new content but if your not above this imaginary line_______ you're 6 months or longer behind the current time's meta or whatever you want to call it and just admit defeat do what you can and forget the rest including probably buying anything because you won't catch up for cheap

[sharp salmon]

I’m ops 69 , they have lost me , no way can I spend these hours on a game for crap returns , I’m not spending either . Done me in

Please stop making us waste player time going one system at a time here. Just let players click on where they want to go, pop up the toll charge to get there, and be done with it.

[outer mist]

Completely going to ignore the flashpoint events. This time of year you expect people to sit in front of a screen 24/7 in order to complete this grind? You're losing the plot, correction lost it!

[cosmic knoll]

you cant complete it f2p, you not seen the armada part 3 event .. you need high ops to be able to smash high enough ... if youre lucky enough to pull enough starts in the first place

its heroic

[visual tangle]

Its not impossible as I did a triple chest pull, but does take a while. I am ops 64 and used 7bn cube with metreon cascade and chrono deflector which allowed me to hit the 62 and 64s. Criticals are very important. I used this crew

[wild gate]

They can't, was stated ages ago that the game engine doesn't support the way they have designed it. Will never happen

[unborn birch]

<@&509690795536941056> You can see what was meant to be given as it gave the armada loot instead of the directives. Why are we not getting directives given?

[humble furnace]

Plus it did not refresh chest 😦 so worthless comp

[unborn birch]

the chatbot is garbage too btw, i want to continue that ticket but theres no option, you get lost in the options you cant reset
theres not even confirmation in your emails that your tickets going on

[slender ledge]

That's the best suggestion I've seen here in a long time

[coarse sundial]

did we have the compo?

[humble blade]

Scopely needs to be marked KOS until they fix this broken game lol

[coarse sundial]

nvm some told me we got 880 loot for compo witch doese not cover cost of trel A D takts no one can do

[ionic spear]

Go outside, touch grass, enjoy what remains of summer.

[humble blade]

Turn off the WiFi so that triangle disappears lol

[rancid orbit]

@luisitoortiz And if I understood correctly, this nonsense continues to the end of the year. So I have withdrawn from this game for now....probably forever.

[potent blade]

Flashpoint SNW takes too long to accomplish your goal and the reward is lacking. Not worth my time

[ionic spear]

Hurak can have the galaxy, I am just here for the schadenfreude of Scopely.

[crystal copper]

Please make this go away. I’ve cleared localization and restarted and it’s been 3 days of this persistent notification. Thank you.

[pale garnet]

now comes the scam of new events - invasion, part 2 done, part 3 is armadas, but no dirs, because you need to kill the huraks , just to get the chance of a part of a directive, unles you dig deep into your wallet, let the moths fly free and pay cash for f2p, well done scopely, only the whales will be completing part 3 - armadas

[wild trail]

How do i complete mile stone for gold rush event

[topaz crag]

IMS stage 2 needs 96760 points, 1 PTS per ship, 88 alliance members so 1100 ships per member. Say 2 ships per min, so over 9 hours of grind each, not including flight and repair times.
Does the DEV who dreamed up this target ever sleep?

[fallen spear]

DEV must be smoking weird stuff- that could explain it 🤷🏼‍♂️

[prime socket]

IMS is server wide

[topaz crag]

Then we're really screwed 😂

[ionic spear]

Surrender to House Hurak, your lives will be spared and you will enjoy summer.

[wary tendon]

a simple timer saver.... Q is omnipotent. so when selecting a Q trial, have it populate wherever you are.......

[rich elm]

awesome QC on this MS for ship parts

[faint summit]

Will you fix the damn events section? I'm sick and tired of claiming the same crap three times every time I try to do anything

[coral burrow]

The flashpoint SMS requires too many kills as such takes way too long and costs way too much for the rubbish rewards

[unreal acorn]

Is it really that difficult to get events into the proper folders when they are released? Two ticket items outside the folder. Doesn't anyone check their work anymore? 🙄

[peak charm]

Your game is wayyyy over priced and you get nothing for decent prizes. And the fact you only get I out of 100 or whatever for new officers to join or ships WHAT A JOKE. Should just give the new officers all together and ships and stop thinking your game is made of gold. It is not. You’re nothing more than slumlords milking everyone for money

[agile fractal]

Accountability is not a thing. Only the green for accounting is what they heard.

[ocean swift]

Could you see if you can modify the spawning repartitions between rare and epic hurak entities ? A 50/50 would be awesome so that players can always either do rare or epic depending on their directives pulls.

On 178 we are many players being stuck because there is no rare in the level 50 system.

Thanks in advance for your time.🖖🏼

[sturdy gust]

Having issue of getting a mirror Troy shard every few min and not getting it. Been happening past few days now.

[woeful mulch]

I do not care they changed ims scoring. I will not engage with this hurak loop. The problem still exist as it does for fatus and did for anti matter units before the newly created g5 players complained. The quantity of these resources is way too high. I have to waste so much potential loot just because my cargo bay fills. They made an effort in g6 to reduce the quantities needed. It is evident by small cargo bays of g6 ships. Scopley could just remove a 0 from loot numbers and it would be fine. The problem is they do not see it, do not care, and too many players blindly go after whatever loot Scopley says to.
Quality over quantity.

[kindred sphinx]

There is nothing... I repeat NOTHING fun about this new arc. At first I was excited for some new on-theme Star Trek content, but this is nothing more than an oppressive grind in every way, shape and form.

Replying to @agile fractal , since in their infinite wisdom, they have slowmode enabled... Don't think I will still be playing at month 2.

[tropic crown]

No new mission today or is that just for sub 40?

[agile fractal]

And we haven't even got to month two yet.

[crimson elm]

Grats you have a stronger ship than me I have a 2.2b Ent-D and same FT and CT ops 62, can only kill the 58s

[azure falcon]

<@&509690795536941056> - Feedback to the Dev team - They need to go back back and review all packs or find a way to scale with level because I have no use for 2* as a lvl 59

[ionic spear]

That 3m parsteel lookin' like a value for 59 ops, fr fr.

[lunar ocean]

2 points per hit still isn't nearly enough. You guys screwed up. Apologize and fix it next time. Part 1 should be removed completely. Expecting 110k hits on one specific enemy is just too much for most servers.

[tidal notch]

I will follow up on this...

[sinful socket]

Well, not only do you need to do all the grinding for Hurak kills, you also need to grind for a variety of other hostiles, armadas etc etc.

[cosmic knoll]

@tidal notch ty for the stage 2 update my friend, but isnt this just another red herring?

ppl will get to stage 3 and be like: not paying real money for this ... its HEROIC

its not run 1 armada, its run 5 or more ... and you have to LUCK a start, once a day from the refinery .. with 3 DAYS remaining.

some of us can actually count

[pulsar venture]

I think they have to consider the alliance's that are at war and the mining rates /levels, despite my alliance trying to end a war,and that it was started for no reason, apart from the top alliance on the server having most of their players ops 70, this arc has some mining levels that will never be reached by alliance's at war.

[cosmic knoll]

major changes need to take place with milestones, else its 3-6 months of dead arcs. noones engaging with anything except the bold events. enjoy the deficit scopely. you deserve it.

[fresh cargo]

Never heard so much player say: Already gave up!( I usally PM them with crew advices when they ask in the GC Chat on our Server). I guess you lost them with this Arc.....

[unique forge]

Loot tables on the hostiles are horrible killing 58’s since yesterday and I can do a single pull the huge power jump from a 58 to 60 hostile is absolutely insane, Cerritos and Titan buff with Lorcas fist I still lose horribly there needs to be major tweaks to be able to participate in this new mechanic I am mostly free to play if it wasn’t for the choice rewards I wouldn’t have even gotten the battlepass.

[pure plover]

That's because the crew isn't going to help the insane grinds they keep adding, all this nonsense about reducing screen time, we might see that in the year 3000 on the 30th Feb, because lets face it, they aren't listening to any feedback from anyone who actually plays the game. The amount of hostiles you need to kill to actually pull the chests is insulting, putting the hostiles in the hazard space which means without the prime hazards most people who do the free research are screwed.

Then again that is scopleys usual method, add an insane grind, one that's pretty much impossible to complete f2p, then add a £100 ship to do it, add in a lovely store than change it just as f2p get the ship

[fresh cargo]

I know, it's more about the reactions I got. Normaly it is: Oh, thanks. Now i can actually kill a few hostiles. But this time its: I gave up. This is not a good sign

[errant brook]

Slap in the face nonsense Exchange for the new trash arc - 221,06M wasted and not a single Directive. Congrats scopely

The chances to get at least 1 time directives with 3 pulls is 98,44% as each pull has a chance of 75% to drop Directives. Either Scopely calculates different and the description is wrong or something not sober is going on here.

[pure plover]

Nope, though I do feel that with scopelys lack of acknowledgement the grind is insane, I wonder if that's their goal

[sonic wadi]

Anyone having issues with the game on Windows? Mine stopped working and I reinstalled it but now it won't install!!!

[snow blaze]

I have been playing the game for 5 + years. I have had the sound shut off for 4 years. The red alert sound is maddening !!!
The captains of the ships could turn it off . Why can't we?
Grinding through a couple of 100 hostiles sometimes in a day and hearing the whoop whoop whoooop. I just can't take it. Love all the other peeps and boops.

[stark lintel]

@tidal notch The spawn rate of the Hurak dropships needs to be massively increased. There are systems with only 3 or 4 of them flying around with 20+ people trying to hit them. The Invading Entities need to be looked at as well. The systems in my range are all now EPICs, which I can't even get directives for so no chance at doing anything.

[olive nacelle]

Also, if anyone is running their stage 3 Armadas BEFORE the server is also at stage 3 then they won’t score for the server and they won’t complete event!!

🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[serene pine]

Sadly, people are ignorant sometimes and don't care about their server 🤷

[willow raven]

Classic scopely math

[slim shoal]

Or, given that another series of events launched at the same time that DID let you score for events that weren't actually 'unlocked' yet, they didn't realize they were hurting their server by not waiting. It doesn't really seem to matter, there's no way most (all?) servers will even come close to finishing the 3rd IMS. I like the idea, but someone forgot to add a zero or two for completing these non-armada armadas.

[prime salmon]

@tidal notch contacting Support for the missing directives was a major disappointment. They reimbursed the used tags, leaving everyone affected a full day of directives short. The tags were never the problem. (Edit: Removed image. Server rules)

[tidal notch]

https://tenor.com/view/well-you-know-what-i-care-i-care-a-lot-aimee-garcia-ella-lopez-gif-17400438

[serene pine]

Sadly you can't score for our server though 😆

[finite mural]

To be fair, the slb to damage the armadas should've never been running unless the 3 IMS was unlocked

[lunar ocean]

Please just complete the stage 2 IMS for everyone. I get that this pain is meant to sell the ship next month, but this is too much. It's actively making the game less enjoyable.

[cosmic knoll]

The problem with current cash ships is simple: introduce problem, next arc sell ship to solve problem, dump arc and move onto next problem ... some players are getting smart and not bothering with the solution ship thats only useful for 1 arc.

[dusky brook]

... some players are getting smart and not bothering.

[cloud lantern]

Update 80

1.Transogen mining
A new feature is here and everyone needs stuff, very much stuff of all 3 rarieties.
The initial rush was to be expected, but the overall node miningrate might have been tuned a little too low when compared to the required amounts for refining.

The Systems were overrun and players still have troubles finding a free nodes. On servers with less RoE impact that of course is less of a problem as there will be fights over it.

1.1 Mining token systems
Premium access earned its name here. Many players lost their gifted mining token because the performance of the game wasn`t really the best. That resulted in huge frustration in the playerbase.

2.Suliban hunting
Especially when entering a new grade, the players expect to be able to do everything. Some unlucky ones were not able to get their hands on the runners as these ships are extremely high tuned and practically require the epic officer WoK Joachim. That left a bad taste in many players mouths.

3.Refinery
Really great addition to the game. Completing older artifacts is solved with that. The only issue is the forgedust. This ressource should be guaranteed and maybe reduced in amount as it is highly frustrating to see peers being lucky while you yourself cant influence it in any way shape or form.

4. Makalas crucible
A few tasks were mathematically impossible. Limiting the amount of solo wave entries and requireing players to have more than they can save is, again frustrating.

*Continue at *#💬-general-feedback message

[lunar ocean]

I think at this point it's the worst arc of the year. It sucks too because there are a lot of cool ideas behind it, but so much effort is being put into making it more difficult that it just doesn't work.

[cloud lantern]

*Continued from * #💬-general-feedback message

5.Hurak invasion
I like the overall mechanic and idea behind it, but maybe you should investigate online times of players and compare the rushhour on different servers.
This might be a bigger problem on EU than US as the timezones in western europe are pretty packed and most players are concentrated in these.

The amount of systems you provided the players with did not really meet the requirements.
Its different when the whole server tries to do the events during 2-4 packed hours in a few systems or if the playerbase primetime is stretched out over 6-8h.

Armadaspawns and eventmilestones are a painpoint as well.

6.Performance
Initially really really bad but you managed to make it playable soon after.
While it was to be expected, it nevertheless "killed" the hype in an instant.

7. Overall
You brought us chained events, but delivered at the same time many little painpoints that multiplied itself to an unexpected and pretty frustrating initial expirience.

[lunar ocean]

Making the Sulibans count towards the IMS would help a lot. Make them worth one point, and the other enemies worth 3. That would probably make things work. And give sub-40 players a way to score too.

[grave hawk]

This Arc is garbage. I like to see one screenshot of somebody saying I want more things to do, before fixing the things we've asked to be fixed. Mouthpieces will reply: "just look how good this event store was or these rewards are!". Nobody cares about that. Nobody. First functionality. I'm not worried about ridiculous milestones so much, they'll get scaled eventually. But just make things work. First time, every time.

[dire wigeon]

I mean finishing stage 2 is just gonna lead people to their 3,000+ solo armadas needing to be done wall. They totally screwed up on tuning these IMS

[carmine marten]

You’ve acknowledged lack of rare entities, but given the expiration date on using the rare loot, it’s not like we can even cram in rares at the end (if they’re even fixed in time) and then use the loot. So our ability to get ANYTHING out of those armadas and loot exchange is dwindling fast. Add to that the stupid low chance of even getting epic directives, all those epic entities are going to waste also. Also add in the lack of alignment between IMS and SMS stages, people are being penalized working on sms first to give time for stage 4 mining, since that means less progress towards IMS (for those who can run rare entities, anyway). And all of this on top of horribly tuned cost requirements for the transogen refines relative to how much we can mine, means incredibly low chance to engage in most of the content.

There’s a lot of good we can get out of the refinery. There’s event store rewards seem decent. But because most of this is tuned around people buying packs to progress / engage, it means it doesn’t matter how good any of it is. It’s going to waste and falling to the wayside because it costs money or a ton of time to do much of any of this.

[rancid ledge]

I sent you an email about problems with our Admiral not being online to sort things out and we want to appoint a new Admiral before the new season so we can get new territories and get other things sorted but you have not replied. We need this sorted as soon as possible.

[tepid basin]

I think this dude (smartest scopely employee btw, some brilliant minds you got over there) might have been on to something...too bad you decided to go the opposite direction, better luck next time !

[clever whale]

#⭐-official-announcements message

So no sourcing for the new officers? BS...

[rancid ledge]

Does anyone from Scopely ever reply to people's emails or are they just after people's money?.

[lunar ocean]

And now we can't even compete for officers and just have to buy the new officer every time? Yeah, you guys have lost your minds. Worst arc ever. By far.

[tacit wind]

And if that wasn't enough, in Stage 3 our server would have to kill 8472 Rare Hurak Vanguards - Which aren't spawning.

[weak grove]

is this supposed to be like this? the rare madas not spawning? or is it yet another chapter to scopely incompetence?

[tacit wind]

They made it so that after you kill one of the rares, an epic spawns in its place. Problem is, not enough people are getting the epics, because the epic directives have a low drop rate, so eventually all that's left are epics. To make matters worse for the server, people are people going out and running the rares before Stage 3 starts, so the rares they run now do not count toward Stage 3.

[muted shuttle]

So it was just a bit 💩then.

[weak grove]

yep, no rares on my server anymore because people are dumb and scopely even more so xD lol

[cloud lantern]

yeah, i think the many little painpoints together were a bit too much, first the event and task overload paired with initial mining frustration, after that the armadafrustration and tons of madas. the patience of players was severly under attack, and on top of that all there comes a huge grind in laggy systems with high tuned hostiles and bad bracketing in milestones
take 2 or 3 seperate things away and most people wouldnt complain

[ebon jackal]

it can, it just requires some code. it would just be inconvenient for them to do so, but it is possible, even without changing the original code (which has problems and needs to be fixed anyway)

there's a big difference between "that's impossible" and "that would be difficult for me to figure out"

[grim obsidian]

I agree, With the amount of money that’s been thrown at this game by players they should be able to afford to re-create a better game engine, hire actual QA testers, and generate an adequate migration path that wouldn’t impact game play any more than the regular maintenance times they already have. It’s a question of do they want to, rather than if they can.

[wooden spire]

The game is a poorly coded money grab. A very successful one.

I haven’t bothered with it today. I spent the day outside in the sunshine. It was great.

Like smoking, this game is an unnecessary and unhealthy addiction that you don’t need.

The problem is realising and accepting that you don’t need it. Overcoming the fear of not progressing and others overtaking you in the never-ending arduous and pointless race.

It adds stress to your life, it doesn’t reduce it. Is it really fun?

Eventually, enough has to be enough.

[muted shuttle]

If you look at it like that, it’s been horrendous all year. I just don’t see them changing, they just going to grind it hard until all the money runs dry.

[fringe estuary]

My feedback is to sit out this months events and only do daily’s and mission. This months stuff is too frustrating to continue putting up with.

[plain smelt]

So exactly what I did with the entire Augment arc?

[winged jewel]

really am sick of grinding... been going all night and still only got this far.... my love for this game is fading fast. please listen to the players on here 😢

[slate chasm]

Scopely doesn’t work on the weekend unless their store breaks so I can bet you this event will end before they do anything meaningful. Hell, the one change they did do won’t move the needle

[sinful walrus]

We will be running a Cosmic Choice SLB and SMS this weekend, from July 12th to 14th.

Players can spend materials to earn Officer Depot Tokens, which can be redeemed for their choice of Officers in the Event tab.

This is disappointing. Instead of spending mats to gain shards for new officers, it will be for officers that have already been unlocked.
Looking on the bright side, it means more time for things outside the game. 👍

[tropic crown]

Was there not a. Mission today for all ops?

[pliant imp]

What? Don't you appreciate Quality of Live improvements that save you 5% of the grind only so that Scopely can add events that take up 80% of your day?

[wet sapphire]

Scoply this has been the worse contest ever half the stuff dont work what a waste of time.

[sick bone]

Bad enough the event is trash, but the reliant loot rate been decreased as well just blows

[tranquil ferry]

Not to mention the 10 other things you have to grind that only half work.

[haughty umbra]

New token systems have the new entity style armada?

[hollow plover]

Add MORE grind and

more convoluted currencies and

pls, god pls, do NOT fix any bugs

(since it seems that you are doing exactly the opposite of what is asked for or criticized...)

[azure oriole]

Can’t decide which I find more amusing, the comment or the name. 😆

[brazen prism]

It can be fun 🤩 but not in the current state. It’s way too grinding, and price of the boxes for G6 is way too high. - this is now the most demanding and time consuming loop in this game. Scopely promised “less time consuming grinding”

[oblique relic]

The new Transogen token systems are a bit of a joke... first, they still have the hunters, so you end up sending a decoy ship in to clear the hunter off your miner... and then its not obvious what grade of transogen will be in the system, so you have to waste a token just going there to see 😦 Given the limited tokens given... its a con

[autumn badge]

Go outside and do something productive and fun in real life, would be my advice 🖖

[wary citrus]

Where are the RARES??? why didn't you learn from the Kremin? split the system in 1/2 - spawn rare on one 1/2 and epic on the other 1/2.... besides this is the worst arc in history... horrible rewards I have plenty of artifacts and time we get enough dust for a FRK jump feature, will take 10 years.... WERE ARE THE MATS so we can progress people need MATS

[autumn badge]

Current mood. This arc is a total bin fire and just not worth the effort. This is getting worse and worse.

[ripe jetty]

why are projectile skins removed from shop when completed, but forbidden tech is not? I have sorans thril. complete and its still in shop...
Pls make it streamlined, one way or the other

[finite mural]

excess shards for FT and CT have a purpose, excess shards for a projectile do not

[errant brook]

would be awesome to have finished stuff grouped.

[north ruin]

How about 2 months notice of an event that requires months of tokens to complete. The engage event requiring months of wave tokens, krem both solo and group, polygon group etc just means peeps will give up on these events. This with new flashpoint is a ridiculous, arduous and ultimately unrewarding grind. Add in the fact that servers will not complete IMS event unless full of pay to play players is clearly leaving many with the foulest of tastes in their mouths.
I seriously doubt this is going to change unless the whale discord has a backlash.
Well as many have said before. It’s summer, the garden beckons and certainly more rewarding
<@&509690795536941056> take on board and feedback on more transparency on future events so players actually save tokens rather than progressing older grinds

[pure plover]

Positives this Arc,

New systems, something new to do.
New Artifacts that aren't p2w.
Majority of Mak'ala Crucible isn't bad.
New building

Negatives this Arc....

Yet another INSANE grind, I mean seriously where do you even come up with the numbers needed?
Even more currencies to grind.
Ridiculous amount of armadas needed for the Crucible, when scopely limit players to 1 a week, and can hold MAX 4, when people need 25 (didn't scopely learn that problem the last time they did that? Or do they not care?)
Insane amounts of Transogen to mine, (placed behind hazards so most of the player base will die, so expect Meridian A with protection from hazards and mining speed boost...)
Sure the new building speeds it up, but considering the majority of the player base are going to level it up f2p they are screwed.
Yet another invasion, this one is far worse than the Sarris with how much currency is needed to open the chests (Which even the chests are bugged great work scopely)
Putting the Invasion hostiles in hazard space no one can actually get protection from, (Wait for the primes to pop up)
Ridiculous power increases between the levels, making it pretty much impossible for a lot of players to finish.
Unclear tasks in the Crucible that are either poorly designed, or designed to cause problems.
More bugged content than ever, making it difficult to even play the game at times.

So as usual, scopely adds more bad things than good. Creates problems, so that they can sell ships/primes to make doing the new stuff even possible.

[brazen prism]

After hours of grinding this is what might receive: Scandalous! Waste of your time! 😡

[ripe jetty]

What happens with excess shards of FT/CT?

[finite mural]

For excess CT, they're converted to credits exchanged here

for excess Ft, they're converted to FT fragment credits which are converted to credits and used in the FT refinery

[abstract ocean]

So, the third task (armadas) is essentially impossible to complete? Rares aren't spawning and most of us have 1 start (if we're lucky)
Please explain how we can skip this event so we can finish the last one instead?

The rare starts should be guaranteed in the chest pulls as well, who thought making them a 'chance' and then forcing people to do more than one armada to finish an event was a good idea?

[bronze igloo]

Horrible planning, no rares to hit and not enough directives to complete that part in the allotted time frame. Way to go

[olive nacelle]

It’s by design to make you buy these.

[abstract ocean]

Not going to happen

[rich turret]

Max points for Event are 2600, I’m at 1240 for day 4, or if it was day 5, I’d be at 1340. I just went to OPS 54 early to access buildings and STILL did not get materials enough to close the first levels of Unc and Rare, so, slow your roll folks, you’re wasting you energy if you are FTP, you’ll never get the needed 1950 points to max out!!!!

[abstract ocean]

double pull of hurak chest, ONE rare start, which I can't use as there aren't any rare armadas FML

[neat copper]

Jeez how are people even finishing stage 2

[arctic pivot]

Ok, I guess it's in the name but WHY are the spawn rates of Vanguard and Honorguard - espacially the rare ones - soo slow? Oh yeah these are hazard systems, give them way to high milestones and no armadas to do... what the ?????

[sharp salmon]

What a money pull

[mild plover]

This is a bit much only system with a Rare armada and is is way out of my league

[pale garnet]

the only players this game listens to is the massive cash players, all up at ops 70, they don't care what anybody else has to say, this arc is a joke, need to be ops 65+ to research enough hazard resist to manage in 60 site, nevermind anyhigher, and that is if the research at 65 actually covers, but most probably not, ridic hostiles the amount of stuff needing done goes beyond a joke, and still have all previous arcs to deal with as well as all dailies, and they add another "crucible" that is impossible to complete unless your ops 70 and paying for the items needed to complete each task, totally ridic, no wonder people just keep running away in their droves, inconsiderate scopely only making this game because st.u.p.i.d people in this game keep ploughing hundreds to thousands of money daily and weekly

[wind pendant]

Why can’t you in more rare vanguard armadas? Are you all sharing a single brain cell at scopley?.

[stable sandal]

I am ready to submit my official evaluation of the new arc:

1. the grind level is f’n stupid. 2-3 days of solid grinding to retrieve enough “turak tags” for a single chest turn in
2. Turn in rewards for that single chest are complete BS. 34 rare 6*, 129 unc, and 1 set of rare directives for the new rare armadas.
3. What new armadas, you ask? GREAT question! Seems to be they (rare ones, which is all the directives I got for my 3 days of work - a friend got ZERO directives for his efforts) don’t actually exist. Yet. Even though you need to be able to complete a few for the 3rd leg of the meta event.
4. All this under the promise of a reduced grind by the devs.
   Final Grades:
   Useability: F
   Meeting goals: F
   Availability of rewards: F
   Players: F’d

Scopeleyed again.

[rare vale]

They don't even listen to the 70s as much as you think. The 70s on our server (including VIPs) are not thrilled with this arc at all. Sure, some are spending like usual, but a lot are throwing in the towel like everyone else, which tells you how bad this is.

[abstract ocean]

I'm a 70 and and having a nightmare with this arc, I may have just about finished the 5 day event at reset, but it's taken far too much of my time.
As for the invasion event, I'm stuck being able to do no armadas as all the rares are gone, I've only got two starts anyway, which won't be enough to finish it.

[fiery lotus]

Way to go $copely!!! Your never ending quest to destroy what used to be a fun and enjoyable game is bearing fruit

You’ve successfully angered your long term players by making it utterly impossible to complete daily grinds and remain competitive, for those who actually have lives and work outside of this “game”….

Way to go dumping five new grind loops on an already overwhelmed player base and confusing the daylights out of everyone with unclear expectations or directions, and providing no understanding of what to do…. Or the time to do any of it. Or making it so time consuming and difficult to achieve unclear objectives that one is almost forced to spend real cash to purchase a digital means to complete them…

I have already given up on this arc or even trying to understand what needs to be done as there is no incentive to try and no realistic means to “do.”

Seriously $copely, what were you thinking!?!? You’ve got this long time player about ready to quit the game entirely

[fringe estuary]

I am just ignoring these things this month. They take up way too much time. I have the dailies to do that will keep me going. Mining will keep busy too, still need lots of 4* stuff

They fix it sometime in August

[atomic falcon]

If you wont pay money for good coding, you need to pay money for good customer service. Pick one

[jaunty prism]

Scopely, I appreciate what you tried to do with "Reduce frequent animations" but ever since you overhauled it to skip chest animations, it's just been objectively worse than not having the setting turned on. Please revisit this feature and ask for player feedback on it. It could be so much better but right now it's actively worse to have it turned on.

[wary citrus]

REMOVE THE HAZARDS - the hostiles are hard enough with out hazards....... give us a daily drip of the token space with out the chaser in them. Lower the freaking goal numbers and give us more armada starts, #NOHAZARDS

[gentle shale]

@omkimo_54932 one of the hazard work arounds I’ve been using is the NSEA Protector when hunting.

[atomic falcon]

Give us a loot log

[sterile stream]

Krenim Anti-Static/Charged Exocomp doesn't count!

[lone breach]

Not even an half arc of toncent in total bulked out with endless filler and time gated. I call it "Doing a Bungie"

[trim salmon]

Servers just went to sleep. Lag is terrible. It's not my pc. Speed test shows 931Mbs up 497Mbs down. Localization has been cleared, game restarted, and was warping to hit a dropship and it is now stuck on the tips screen. sheesh

[tacit quarry]

do we have any updates on #🛠-known-issues message as at this moment many are waiting for it to be resolved so they can progress further in the IMS and SMS

[hoary sierra]

How does that do anything? The hazard resistance on the NSEA only specifically works on the magnetic mines and that’s not what the hazard is in the new area.

[gentle shale]

So we’re see first month issues. Unrealistic expectations on many fronts, some Scopely’s & some are own. Are some of the milestones 🤬🤯. Yes. But I think completing all of them is more an us issue v. Scopely giving a “choose your adventure based on circumstances”. Not everyone (including me) are going to tick everything in this 5 days of tasks. I’m choosing to just ignore the many that I’ll not hit, focus on those I can, and focus on supporting the IMS milestones.

Could less be added? Absolutely. But also looking at/trying to absorb what the various perks to work for are. Instant warp function for select ships based on Transogen refining, other exo-comps, etc. Buried in all the stuff is now the ability to gain ship XP by simply mining.

[trim salmon]

@tacit quarry I only see a known issue for the battle pass posted yesteray

[tacit quarry]

the rare hurak honorguards not respawning issue

[trim salmon]

Known issues chat:

[finite mural]

it's supposed to say vanguards, having him fix it

[gentle shale]

Can’t explain why just my experience that it either mitigates the hazard or makes it much slower to be affected that any other ship I’ve tried.

[humble furnace]

So instead of getting the 300 directives I should have got you gave me this 🤔 wish I never contacted them.

[fiery lotus]

Dude. As of today we have: Mirror universe grind; augment grind; free booters, dominion and Borg solos, Borg poly; exiles; can’t think of it names but the Stella grind, fkr solo grinds; g6 grinds, continuum grind, gorn grind, swarm grind, xindi grind; xindi final weapon solos; Borg grind, never mind mining mining mining for every conceivable mat and rss…. Then there’s PvP and incursions and arena and…I’m sure I’m forgetting another dozen grinds

Dude it’s too much.. scopely needs to take a break for six months and fix all of the broken crap that they’ve created and not add another dozen grinds to the mix…

Players !? who gives a darn what they think! Just give us more of your cash!

[arctic pivot]

anyone know if normal mat events are returning anytime at all? Why should I OPs up for old offers?!

[opal crane]

Wait..... New arc... The weekly spend event..... Doesn't have the new officers as options? Why are we funding this? Some people have been saving up for these new officers, planning pushes, etc.

[fleet kettle]

The Milestones for the Officers Token are unreachable. Wtf...
Had upgraded the Shuttle Bay from 37 to 39 and get 10% of the needed Points! For the FIRST Milestone! 😡

[vapid grove]

General feeback for this arc: The theme seems to be more grinds, more broken stuff, more quality of life things removed (lower grade mats removed from higher grade ops on mat slbs, directive chests with a chance to pull zero directives on a TRIPLE pull) no care for the players, just seems to be the arc that is designed to END the game instead of making it better

[fiery lotus]

Miners gaining xp for mining should have been a free mechanic added at the start of the game, not hidden behind a pay wall or an extreme grind f2p wall

[smoky totem]

Seriously, no communication on changing officer sourcing then you throw this trash out where only G6 scores? Do us all a favor and shut this trash down, you have failed in a big way scopely.

[strong hill]

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-guy-relaxing-popcorm-popcorn-gif-26404903

[potent crag]

Does Scopely even bother reading any of this feedback?

[stark lintel]

@tidal notch Sooooo I know you’re not responsible for the change but I gotta say, zero communication about scoring changes to the officer SMS/SLB is so disrespectful to your players. People spend weeks/months planning their spends and then not only do the milestones increase, but you remove scoring potentials. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

[vale kelp]

Just end the arc now and roll back the game version. Everything that’s been introduced with this update is just rehashed old content that was poorly received the first go round. Trash trash trash

[broken walrus]

Yep, I planned on 66 today with a spend event on a new officer. Guess I should have looked at the schedule of events and I would have known just to throw up a shield and take a break

[cinder shadow]

this spend mats slb is awfull... please cancel it and add the new officers!! or add the new officers in the event store

[lilac oar]

All this new grinding for events makes it really easy to hit the max kills in game. Which in turn keeps you from getting loot from ships. Which keeps you from scoring. REMOVE THE MAX KILL LIMIT!!!!!

[limber oriole]

At this point scopley could auto finish everything and I wouldn't care. This game went from being fun grinds that meant something to the players to endless grinds for 💩. The game has now become a $$ pit that i havent participated in now for 2 months.

We asked for time back, which scopley did do, only to start new bigger grinds that they want you in game all day for... nope. Not I.

[lunar ocean]

<@&509690795536941056> So, any news on fixing the spawns for the IEs?

[atomic falcon]

<@&509690795536941056> any news on fixing anything at all??

[cinder shadow]

this is the worst arc ever designed so far...

[static hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/ned-flanders-homer-simpson-feels-like-im-wearing-gif-14847624

Read: Feels like I'm fixing nothing at all! 😆

[unique current]

@tidal notch so now there is no spend event to unlock new officer in new arc… like it’s worked for 6 years! It’s like you all are actively trying to get everyone to quit the game!

[atomic falcon]

Just like service providers. All efforts go to new clients. Existing customers are not important

[left holly]

The new officer unlock is tied to a limited run Building upgrade SMS, which have no achievable F2P milestones. If you are lucky and were able to power mine commons right away to use the Refinery, you might be able to reach the T1 milestone F2P.

[noble root]

Could you please gift us a significant amount of directives for dropships, 3 days worth of pulls for one set worth of directives makes it impossible to complete...seems silly to have stage 3 of many be something we can't complete

[fiery lotus]

Hell can you please just fix the continuum refinery???

[atomic falcon]

Its all about the money, they dont want us to finish it, they want us to pay for the privilege of trying

[visual coyote]

<@&509690795536941056> can we fix the respawn rate of the rare honorguard

[fringe estuary]

Don’t spend money onBS

[noble root]

I hear you, but to make a video saying the point of this is for everyone to engage with it and then not make it possible is silly, I get the other event series, but the main one to rollout these new invasion events seems like a missed opportunity to make content we enjoy and get us to enjoy it, and then later charge to do it more. As it stands, can't engage, so probably won't. And will lead to bad sentiment all around about the series

[unique current]

@tidal notch what to hear some good news? I am saving well over 500.00 a month

[left holly]

Dixon, you do not need to do all the Mak'ala Crucible tasks to complete reach the last milestone. There are more points than what is needed.

Also the IMS was supposed to be a challenge and hard to complete. That I do not have any real problem with how they set it up. Although I am glad they decided to update the scoring as previously 1 pt per kill was a bit too much.

[noble root]

Sorry for not being specific, I'm talking about Flashpoint pt 3. The new series for everyone, that we can't advance without directives...

[nova sierra]

I think we are still under 100 points on our pt3 ims

[atomic falcon]

Can't finish the events if the system won't allow the claiming of the rewards.

[raven jacinth]

Got to say love the known issues channel 💕💕

[kind star]

It's almost hilarious: this incompetent bunch who call themselves scopely have screwed up so badly with the new arc that there really isn't anyone who has found anything positive. Sales are dropping massively, many players are quitting .... And all because scopely is incompetent and greedy.

[storm oracle]

So the invasion unit server milestone + SMS is paywalled nice, also rares doesn't spawn

[unique current]

During arc every Saturday and Sunday for the last 6 years…. Spend event to u lock the new epic officer in the arc… Now a bs spend event to unlock officers already unlocked. In some cases for years. Like I said. Up side I have saved over 500.00 USD a month for 3 arcs now.

[static hornet]

The bottom line is, stfc is old news to scopely. Currently Monopoly Go is raking in significantly more money and they've now got Niantics games catalog to deal with and figure out new ways of bleeding dry customers

I'm surprised so many people paid for the reliant after it was clearly a money grab - they create mass frustration then sell a solution, no thanks... Next time let creativity take the front seat and if people enjoy they'll pay 🤷‍♂️

[kind star]

I really hope they don't make any money with this really bad arc and the completely 💩 new content. But it also has a positive side - it's very easy to do something other than play this broken game.

[wooden spire]

The number of people who bought the Reliant despite it being an obvious money grab proves that there is no lack of stupid in this world. But then we knew that already.

[static hornet]

I guess it's nothing new, revenant and elaurians comes to mind

When they create a special ship without a problem to solve we end up with vindicator... 😆 At least the refinery is nice, ship is mothballed though

[vivid ginkgo]

Vindicator just takes forever to tier to make it "useful"

[glacial spruce]

Outside of the refinary, is it really useful though?

[vivid ginkgo]

In theory its supposed to be the g6 armada ship of choice. In reality by the time the tiers would allow it to do that youll probably have a 70 ship...

[glacial spruce]

So you just said the same thing I posted, with more words. 😋

[fluid mist]

only 3 arcs jeez you've been giving them too much money I've been saving money for 2.5 years now and only regret is I'm not progressing at the pace I used to. That being said I guess it depends on what you value in game that money is spent on, but glad to hear you're saving money either way.

[native vessel]

Is anything going to be done about the rare Hurak vangard solo mada spawn rate? Event is going to end before i can find 1 to finish stage 3 sms

[vast nest]

You can write a lengthy email to support for them to ignore

[wind beacon]

Glad no rare vanguards spawn. What a joke.

[opal crane]

lol I just realized just how trash this SLB is. G6 players can only spend G6. 🤮 Is there anybody even running this arc and these events? You should take the day and think about your life decisions.

This whole arc is the epitome of trash. "Less grinds! But, to make it better, we're forcing G3 players to figure out and deal with hazard space, since everybody LOVES Hazard space!" 🤮 I once got dinged by someone at Scopely for being so negative... but my guy.... do you SEE what Scopely is putting out?? gosh dang it.

I know Hammy and folks are off on the weekends, so I really hope they do enjoy their weekends and don't deal with all of this... but fffffffffffffs. Is it live ops that determines these events? Who is responsible for this cluster?

[dim laurel]

Is Scopley going to fix the fact that ZERO Hurak solo Armadas are still not spawning. Hard to do stage 3 when the need hostile nor respawning

[charred frigate]

What's up with this? The description says the exocomp automatically activates. I wasted a bunch of Eviscerator parts, thinking the Evi. exocomp would have replaced the NSEA one.

[kind star]

No. You only need a t15 cube and some Buffs for the 70 Epic to solo all g6 solo-Armadas. The Vindicator is as useless as the new arc.

[static hornet]

Makes sense it's queued if you already have one - think of all the complaints of people who bought 2 in a row and the first was instantly replaced

[junior sierra]

If yall want multiple people quitting. Do this event series exactly the same again…..

[charred frigate]

Automatically replacing is how the auto-activating ones worked though, like with Incursions, which is displayed as the same mechanic, unless I'm mistaken. I don't think it's queued, I think it's actually in storage (though I guess I'll know in 11 hours). I agree this is lovely, but not what I was expecting based on previously used mechanics. [Edited for clarity and completeness]

[static hornet]

I'd like to think it's an improvement they've added

But I don't think they'll bother carrying it over to incursion exos

Sounds a bit like when you use a rip to a system outside your warp range, you can insta recall... But if you use discovery summon you're out of luck 😆

Same mechanic with a little bit of special sauce added to make it nicer, but too lazy to fix the original 🙃

[molten jungle]

They have all players equally upset with this dumpster fire of an arc. They were already upset with the WOK grind fest. They took all the players complaints and ignored them completely in favor of trying to get more revenue and they’re probably getting less revenue and players for trying to go the greed route.

People are more willing to spend if they’re actually enjoying the game in a normal amount of time. 8 hours a day for a bad triple chest pull and no chance at the new officers is complete trash.

[static hornet]

It's crazy, I know, but some companies take feedback and then delay things in order to make them better 😱 the fans even RESPECT that 😯

We all remember the sonic movie with the creepy teeth?

They delayed it for months to fix those teeth 😆 and guess what... No hedgehog nightmares!

[atomic falcon]

but there is no evidence that they are in fact improving thjngs. I'll give credit where its due. There have been decent qol improvements. But the whole game keeps getting worse, with more grinds and more loops less customer service and overall less incentive to move up or keep going.

[grave hawk]

They don't improve anything you ask for. And I do give credit where credit is due. I just don't see a lot of things to give credit for. Hey fix a b and c please. That would be great... Well, we're not going to fix those but we're going to find one thing that is kind of helpful and adds seven that make life much harder.

[gentle shale]

I agree that there are too many grinds. I choose, therefore, which ones I’m going to focus on, for how long, and when.

Between Freebooters, Independent Archives, and Ex-Borg Faction store I’ve been able to stop focusing on the many for just a few. I stopped mining ISO, hunting Actians, hunting Borg probes, dealing w/ swarms, and other things that are just too mind numbing. At least w/ the Xindi/Ex-Borg you can focus on one flavor of hostile & avoid other loops altogether.

I hate grinding so these adds were a big home run for me. For you? I don’t know.

I just can’t wait till I can move more ships to the archives & get auto-loot. Or have a new loop allow me to ignore others but still get loot for both.

[potent heart]

Grrrrr…. what’s the point of dumb chasers in the new token systems. Game crashes and have to restart right after the ship enters the system. Boom token wasted 👎

[orchid timber]

@tidal notch Have you guys lost your minds? So we break our backs to do 40+ hours of grinding and mining and directive spend and mat spend and and and...for the Crucible just to unlock the OPPORTUNITY to PURCHASE the unlock for Scotty for $99!? And yet this weekend's slb is for old officer shards? Are you trying to push us off the fence?

[hard yarrow]

Nooooo... you're joking, completing all those events literally just says you can pay $100 to unlock him? You literally dont get him?

[nocturne phoenix]

Do it 9 more times and you can get him for free... maybe?

[orchid timber]

I wish I was joking. I would love all those hours back. You get 10 shards and a bit of loot. And then it unlocks the opportunity to buy him for $99.

[hard yarrow]

Imagine walking up to someone in real life and saying if they dig a 5 foot hole everyday for a week then they can have the opportunity to get a reward for only $99.99

[coarse sundial]

so flash point big belly flop cuase cheeps deving aging? if they work for ccp they kick these devs out in 5 mins boldy go fail flah pont ims fail 5 day bug day 4 event on monday faily come on realy?

[lyric otter]

So spend SLB is now for old stuff only and we have to pay to participate in unrivalled levles of grind for the new Epics...count me out. Think someone needs to have a word with whoever came up with this change and remove them from the decision making position.

[coarse sundial]

well I work up tonight the world played stfc got anoyind got tispey and told socpey what the frack thire doing

the problem is simpley this new devs that can code apply hot fixes day after bugs found apply server updates routiney upgrade servers wehn expanded the game other wise when g7 hit in dec its going big one hudge ka ka can i get a job at scopey?

[cunning tulip]

This game is consistently heading further down the direction of trying to squeeze more money from the poor saps who already spent some, while further alienating those who don’t.
Combine horrid grinds for appallingly coded untested releases with cash grabs that just get more gross every time.
The Khan arc lost 10% of players from our server and the one we fought in incursions, think more will follow after these last 48h.
Game is done, run for the hills 😭

[modest mirage]

what a con that was all those makala task for a lousy 10 shards, couldnt get any worse, well that was it, with more of the same. be surprised if they have 3 servers by the end of the year

[lunar ocean]

Good job fixing the rare spawns! Just one problem... now the Epics aren't spawning. I don't even know how you pull off screwing up in so many unique ways.

[winter sigil]

Having to check so many locations every day to make sure you're not missing events is annoying. Please put all events in one location.

There should also be better explanations and charts in the game (or links to a specific info page at the minimum) so you don't have to go to 3rd parties to get the information you need. When I open STFC, I want to play the game, not spend 15 minutes searching Discord and the web for information every damn time I want to complete a task in the game. Poor UI and information makes the game feel like an office job.

And can we please fix the almost guaranteed freezing that happens when trying to leave the gifts menu? It's been around for months.

[coarse sundial]

my point 100% time for new devs devs your fiered

[upbeat cosmos]

Say @ here in the bug channel one more time...🤬

[warm field]

SCOPELY. Fix what's wrong with YOUR game. And stop adding garbage grind that NOONE wants. <@&509690795536941056>

[lunar ocean]

... This level of scuff is beyond anything I ever could have imagined

[queen valve]

Thanks for making an event that can’t be completed unless your in an alliance. Or unless yea buy the wave and territory pkgs also.

[severe halo]

Not better, but theu specified in the known bugs that epics would only spawn in the lvl 46 system for the time being.

[sick arch]

All they have done is changed the colours on the triangles this was from yesterday

[wary citrus]

"Due to limitations on spawning, the epic hurak are only in Beta Nerra (level 46) system now, while the rare hurak are spawning again elsewhere. This will be addressed with the next run of the event. " LETS NOT RUN THIS EVENT AGAIN...

[agile raptor]

this is stupid, we'd have to spend every waking hour on makalas event to achieve the final result

[ionic spear]

Only for the ability to purchase the unlock for $99.99! What a value, what a deal!

[meager parcel]

You unlocked the chance to pay Scopely!

[winged jewel]

I don't get the complaints about the crucible event, you get a good chunk of material too in the event store. It's not as if it wasn't clear from day one. There's really more things deserving of complaints, like the insane grinds they keep adding

[old jackal]

Fix your stability issue and long standing bugs. Try to find a happy medium of balance in pvp without making people rely solely on the next purchase to stay relevant. Try to have a bit more care in understanding the strength or resource capacity of a level before you lump them with higher levels and expect them to also grow and enjoy the game.

[lunar ocean]

This game is just run by shareholders now. That much is obvious.

[pseudo gale]

Typical CF of Scopely’s. Been the same for years. And we continue to wallow in it.

if depot tokens are here to stay then could we get a slider as well. would be nice so i dont have to click thru this 16 times 😅

[muted shuttle]

Putting all the performance issues to one side and the fact that you guys have lost the Armada coding book. The big problem with the Flashpoint event is it is just not worth the effort required. Very poor rewards for the time invested, not to mention the used up trit on ship repairs. Just another example of Scopes proving that they don’t actually play with the 💩they sell.

[silk bramble]

5 years of precedent for scoring for the mat spend event thrown out without notice. You could have told us that you were going switch to locking it into generational mats. I could at least have used my g5 mats on some dailies instead of not scoring for the officer depot token event

[sharp salmon]

If I was really enjoying this Arc I probably would buy a pack or even 2 , guess what , I’m not . Worst grind in history, and I’m not doing it , so scopley you miss out on my Money 💰

[raven jacinth]

can scopley please communicate better for events please to put Borg solos for event and Not mean all borg solos and they mean a specific Borg Solo in this case a type 3 then please state that

[nova sierra]

Agreed but the ‘type’ in the event description kinda gives it away

[raven jacinth]

event discription? it says Borge Type Solo Armadas im sorry its 5am i aint reading between the lines or solving a cryptic clue clear instructions, it would have been clear if it said type 3 but it does not

[nova sierra]

I did say I agreed 🙂 thinking there wasn't enough room in the UI when coding it as when u look at it, all event descriptions align perfectly...

[storm dove]

How am I, an ops lvl 42 defeat 10 Armada's of level 45 in order to complete my event?

[hard yarrow]

Hi. Im an OPs 46 here, I can handle some grinds, but this grind is too ridiculous even for an OPs 46, so here I am, ignoring the entire Flashpoint tab of the events section.

[storm dove]

@hard yarrow same here, there is nothing in the Arc that is worth grinding for hours... Very disappointed

[hard yarrow]

Yeah even if the grind was possible. The rewards aren't worth the grind. Ive suggested this before but I think scopely needs to go into a week long Maintenance period where they just go through and repair bugs and increase performance. I think the player base would be escatic if clicking a tab to go into a infinite loading screen was something you report to support, not a common game glitch. If they increased load times player base would be happier with the 20+ claims in their daily chests and stuff section. It'd literally change community feedback straight to positive for a long time.

[storm dove]

@hard yarrow I sometimes wonder (as a developer) do they even test their code?
Simple bug as lvl 40 enemy drops 3* mats but the description said it shouldn't would be caught by a small code test

[hard yarrow]

I hate that so much, It's such a sad error. This new Flashpoint thing isnt even feasible. It caters to lv70s. I mean, c'mon most of the player base is obviously lv1-69, and most of that is 30-50, maybe take care of the majority of the playerbase instead of giving people who are already inevitably the strongest in the game more power. I mean, once again Quality of Life improvements would literally be enough for a start.

[storm dove]

@hard yarrow yeah just tell us, no arc this month we are working on improving the game to provide a better experience to all of you.

[hard yarrow]

I mean STFC is the only game I can think of where the playerbase doesn't need to report an Endless loading screen, broken gameplay, and other issues because the developers already know. if they fixed known issues, and maybe even dumbed down some of the research since it doesnt make sense when you research something for 30% more hull health to only increase your Hull Health by 3%, simply explaining why that happens would make in game life better. We dont all know what mathematics Scopely used to find how these buff %s interact.

[high raven]

Ein absoluter WITZ das Ausgleichsgeschenk. Ich hatte gestern 10Stunden gewartet und heute nur nebenbei Zeit..... Und natürlich hatte ich die Seltenen verkackt. Im Handy mit falscher Crew.

[nocturne phoenix]

Are the tails in Transogen Token space meant to randomly reactivate after a few days?

Edit: Actually, not randomly, I killed a tail that had stalled in Yarda just before, that seems like it must be related... Don't do that then.

[mortal flame]

why does the game reset every time I log in? I use a VPN

[rocky plaza]

Uh guys is the boldly go event available for lvl 32 in apac servers

[nocturne phoenix]

Battle log in case anyone wants to see the probably cause and effect timings.

[balmy iris]

I am not going to engage any further on your flashpoint game design fail. Maybe if you come to your senses next time. It would help to add some attainable rewards that would actually be worth it. But mostly it’s your ridiculous math. If only you had some data to do better …

[snow grotto]

so much of recent content updates have a major part of their "endgame" being artifacts, but with all of this we still have not been provided an alternate source of artifact gallery schematics (not even event stores) and the few related efficiency researches are all heavily OPS-gated... honestly, this makes it feel like it's better to just not do new content at all, made worse by the fact that we've been trained to expect a specialty ship in the second month of the arc, using the same currency as the first month, and that ship being more important than all of the first-month content put together, so even if we're grinding a bit we're better off not spending yet

[dusty token]

Hi, ops 61 here. I cannot spend literally ANY of this. I have a Selkie. The next 2 components need 875 and 750 uncommon. My base needs common. My research trees are still all using g5 stuff, and I don't even have g6 stuff to choose.

Pretty sure the only way I can actually do this is to level to 63. Which, fortunately, I can since I have been 61 long enough to have a decent stockpile. However a new 61 is utterly screwed.

[wanton laurel]

Yeah so today is wave event day n it deliberately lags n causes you to waste attempts no lag elsewhere just wave defence

[grave hawk]

I'm getting so sick and blankety blank and tired of losing mining ships while trying to do the warp trick... You find yourself in combat and your dead.

[sleek sparrow]

It's not deliberate, that would take a level of planning and coding Scopely are simply incapable of.

[wise quest]

I get things are meant to be challenging but even the server who is doing the best is only 16% through the stage 3 of the IMS. Also Epics now only spawning in the lowest system is madness, I can run 2 epics and finish the SMS if I could do a 63 Epic, but because of poor management of this event I will probably not finish stage 3 of the SMS.

[dense belfry]

Need around 150 kills (lvl 50 hostile) to get a single pull (im ops 52) and max tribune can obly kill 3-4 level 52 targets.
Scopely math on what is a reasonable grind to pull even a single chest feels hugely wrong and to much.

[agile fractal]

Your arc is a fail an F

[eager wave]

I appreciate trying to do something a bit grander and a bit different, so, +1 for that.

Several -100s for the implementation though, just seems to have absolutely zero testing put into it or thought on any of the numbers.

And another few -100s for changing the spend event away from a monthly SMS where stuff below g6 scored.

Frankly if you're below Ops61 and don't have a Selkie with hazard resistance I imagine the entire arc is completely DOA.

[quasi wren]

Really hope these insane taxes on G5/6 on Transogen and the flashpoint store get fixed soon. The Refinery needs to have cost/reward linked to building lvl not players ops. As for the store IMO payout is not great for cost.

PLEASE HAVE A BACK UP ARC and just end this pain as a failure..

[vagrant berry]

Why is it necessary to opt-in to the Romulan Reputation daily event? If anything is manual, opting out should be. I’ve missed so many points simply because I did stuff, then opted in. 🤬

[finite mural]

so you don't screw up your rep if you're focusing on one or two

[junior sierra]

I’m 5 days away from the garbage scowl. I missed a day or two. Let that sink in. 2 full arcs away and normal people, that may have even spent 40$ on battle pass, are just getting that ship.

[tawdry moat]

The heck, scoring isn’t matching for some of the polygons tasks

Ignore the bottom one accidentally circeled the krenim

Kill 15 and 25 polygons i’m at 7, but somehow 10 is at 5

[quasi wren]

Well looks like 701(US) & 134(EU) are in the front car on this train wreck. Should eliminate , drastically reduce or auto finish the Armada task since the Epics are broken.

[green orbit]

Maybe give the poor Sarcophagus some love? It's the only Klingon specialty ship and it really sucks at the one job it's been appointed to (at least, without a cloak. I don't know how it does with one. :P)

[humble furnace]

cannot cloak on a node so it would be useless for the sarco purpose of sitting on a node

[copper viper]

<@&509690795536941056> as you almost get no points through epics when will the goal be drastically reduced? Better to just grant every server Stage 3 and let them move on to a hopefully bug free Stage 4

[sleek sparrow]

It's one of the few things that actually makes sense, why you have to opt on to the weekly Apex SLB is beyond me though.

[green orbit]

I mean you can still get to a node and drop a precision strike without getting intercepted and killed in the open. If Sarco's sitting on a node, at least she has a bit more of a fighting chance.

Otherwise, she gets hit outside of a node and explodes.

[vagrant berry]

How does it make sense to opt-in?

[elfin swan]

because they want you to have the fear of missing out ingrained in your psyche

[finite mural]

opt in for apex is if you want to help your alliance without hindering the slb when you no longer need the reward

[humble furnace]

This is so the big ops players can choose not to score to allow others to win

[sleek sparrow]

Because it gives positive and negative rep. So if I want to build up Fed rep I don't want to be getting negative Fed rep via the Rom reputation event. The fact I had to wait 2:30 to reply due to cool down is just another STFC annoyance, wouldn't mind if the actual mods replied/explained things fully so the rest of us didn't have to.

[vagrant berry]

Oh! I didn’t realize that. Thank you for sharing.

[sleek sparrow]

Then why not do it for all SLB? Same applies. Please scrap/shorten cool down, it's almost like there's a fear of negative feedback...

[brazen prism]

That is the best thing what I heard today; hope it never returns in the way how it was implemented

[trim salmon]

Why am I getting Tranogen 3* canisters that I am not able to use?

[humble furnace]

because you are hitting to low, hit higher hostiles

Agreed the hole arc is bs

[vagrant ridge]

since you haven't gotten the suggestions that people just want game to work properly. I can't remember the last time there been an arc event without major issues. TIME TO FIRE PEOPLE.

[lunar ocean]

Pushing people to move up while making it harder to move up? Y'all lost the plot.
