<@&509690795536941056> ah cmon, what scopely did again with conqueror madas??? another "rebalance"??

this is disrespectful to the player base!!

march 5th, I was killing level 69 using all possible buffs... today I cant kill them using the very same everything!

im even not able to defeat the lvl 67!!! this is too much disrespect to us, stop messing with the game!!!

[crystal furnace]

Maybe they should stop buying server parts from TEMU…. Just an idea.

[lucid wing]

That's harsh on TEMU TBH

[wanton owl]

constantly with the excelsior, such a terrible game mechanic:

[bleak imp]

@wanton owl When it will not work, have your ship leave the system and then go back into it, That was the only work around I could find. It might work for you. Mine kept giving me that message like 50 time, tried everything even resets.

[ebon jackal]

It is strange that a workaround for issues on Unity 6 at one point was to disable AMD graphics cards. Unity works on AMD. Otherwise many other Unity games would also not work on AMD. By the way, the workaround said to disable AMD cards and use Intel integrated graphics - however there are also ARM and AMD based cpus. That just doesn't make sense.

Now that I think of it, saying Intel integrated graphics specifically also doesn't make sense, because Intel integrated graphics use the same drivers as Intel ARC discrete GPUs.

[bronze ether]

The lag is just unbearable, especially when you're in a war and playing with people who don't seem to have any lag at all... your game crashes and you do nothing, you don't seem to care.

[hollow plover]

but after #quality2024 and whatever the broken 2025 promise was, there is a 2026 roadmap with precise details what to expect each quarter - they even announced an easy understandable DST-impact

[ripe hemlock]

on google play store now only 1-star-reviews
i really hope the stores will ban this broken software soon

[cunning leaf]

It's been doing that forever with voyager summon...obviously same coding used and never sorted for voyager 🤣

Subject: Increasing frustration with the current state of the game

Dear Scopely Team,

I would like to raise a serious concern about the current direction and technical state of the game.

Recently, another long-time member of our alliance decided to quit the game entirely. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case. More and more experienced players are leaving, and the reasons they mention are very similar.

The most common issues we see are:

• Performance problems during important events (especially PvP events like Incursions).
• Increasing complexity and time pressure with daily tasks and events.
• The feeling that new features are constantly added while existing problems remain unresolved.
• A growing perception that the game is becoming more focused on monetization rather than stability and gameplay quality.

This situation is frustrating for players who have invested years into this game and into their alliances. A healthy alliance depends on long-term players staying motivated, but that motivation is fading.

We are not asking for compensation or gifts.

What we need is a stable, well-performing game, clear communication, and a stronger focus on improving the core gameplay experience instead of constantly adding new systems.

Please take this feedback seriously. Losing long-term players is a warning sign that should not be ignored.

Regards,
Hein EnNak
KHAN Alliance

[keen loom]

It shouldn’t have been, but was and is ignored. Again, Scopley makes more from the blind new comer, who doesn’t see and understand the trend, versus those who stick around waiting to be seen, waiting to be heard, and waiting to be taken seriously, who at this point are blatantly aware of the cycle.

All Scopley has ever done is place bandaids on bullet holes. That isn’t going to change.

[lyric pagoda]

constantly getting please check your internet connection and getting kicked out now this crazy thing

Bonjour y a t’il des fr quelque part ?

[neon atlas]

I left a 1* Play Store review expressing frustration over poor game performance and bugs.

They replied that they solve problems promptly but some are more complex than others.

Those same problems not only still exist, but have become more numerous and severe.

I left that review in 2023.

[ripe hemlock]

They replied that they solve problems promptly but some are more complex than others.
This is a standard phrase from their bot they are using to reply to complaints in the google play store. Just read every reply from them and you will see a pattern with the exact same scheme how to counter any bad review (evade, downplay, gaslight and even replies that show that its not even addressing the reported issues).

[humble furnace]

Get rid of real time and implent a game only time, the constant time changes in game causes alot of players to miss events

[merry phoenix]

is the breen event missing today or was that yesterday and i couldnt read?

[signal raft]

Dailies scoring is broken

[mild thicket]

#FreeTal

[weary elm]

Game time hasn't changed, only our clocks

[ripe hemlock]

nope, you are wrong here.
our country hasnt changed daytime yet but ingame our dailies started 1 hour earlier today.

[fluid mist]

because scopley doesn't understand dst kids in grade 3 does yet a company making millions and millions every year doesn't understand it tbh I wish I was that dense maybe then I wouldn't be broke now.

[ebon jackal]

Players in other games spend hours, sometimes tens of hours, sometimes more on mods that do things like replace or apply a custom sound effect in their own game.
I think you're missing a big market there.
Even if other players don't see/hear it, people love that. So do streamers. Just a thought.

Crazy thought here: people might even ignore some of the bugs if they could do something and die laughing when it goes off.
Might even attract players who just like to play with modding games.

Another crazy thought: people complain about grinding for hours, personal mods would entertain them, therefore player = more happy.

[ripe hemlock]

their only job regarding daylight saving timezones around the globe should have been in this case "just do nothing" and let the timers sit at where they were before.

but instead they found a way to fail this too.

[weary elm]

Thats very odd, my bad. That shouldn't happen

[fluid mist]

Just another stellar example of messing up something that honestly shouldn't be ever touched.

[ripe hemlock]

ofcourse. every company that is running gameservers knows how to handle this kind of situation: never ever change time of the server to DST. every player is aware of the 1 hour shift in ingame tasks/events if DST will occur in their country.

scopely messed around and now have some events relating on winter time and other events running with summer time now, this means every event has another time where it resets.

[weary elm]

Our TC times are an hour later during daylight savings time (Spring forward/set clocks forward one hour).

[wind prism]

Scopley, you should really tout the crash factor of the game, You are probably #1 in crashing on IOS. That is a great selling point.

[graceful cedar]

I, personally, feel that every single player who paid for ships that aren't working correctly need to go in on a class action. It might be the only way to really light a fire. Just my opinion since they obviously aren't concerned with fixing anything. The GS31 beam now kicks you out of the game. If they're not going to fix this then give me my $$ back, I paid for a ship to work as you described it, it doesn't.

[lucid wing]

<@&509690795536941056> It's been a while since there was any real announcement regarding the multiple bugs and general poor game performance. What I mean is not "we are aware of such and such" more of an announcement of what is happening to fix them. Frankly it would be nice to hear something specific being done in the background rather than more vauge promises and zero timelines. The general consensus right now is the community is being ignored, and considering this is yet another post from myself (the last ones were ignored) I agree.

[humble lotus]

They don’t give a 💩 as long as the whales keep spending 😂

[stuck spade]

bugs .... game is full of bugs

[grave hawk]

It's getting to that point isn't it?

[grave hawk]

The announcements are just lies. Improvements have not been made. For one good thing that gets done, 10 new things arise or old issues come back. It would be interesting if the whales banded together along with the player base... I don't care what the TOS says, with the level of negligence shown year over year there may well be a cause of action.

Sad that it's gotten to this point. Very sad because when things do work, it's a really fun game.

[tacit garden]

Only 23 attackers on today's Outpost before it broke. Pathetic 😂

[tepid bramble]

You want a reason to NOT spend money on this game, here are two.

How ridiculously obtuse or miserly do you have to be to make something difficult to the point that “grinding” at your own ops isn’t an option(due to hazard death 🙄) so punching down we go, only to have nothing to show for it but crap in your inventory. (Ie working as intended, which might could be alleviated by having a conversion, but THAT would makes sense)

And an artifact that actually hurts you to max as it gives nothing but crap you don’t need by the time you max it, and stops giving you what you DO need.

Why would any sane person give money to the folks who perpetuate this nonsense.

[obsidian gazelle]

#ReleaseTheTal!

[proper narwhal]

After 18 attacks, the outpost was no longer attacked. When will you incompetent developers finally fix the bugs you introduce with every update? Do your homework and stop adding new content to the game until you've fixed all the bugs.

[lucid wing]

I get the feeling the Devs wont even log on to look at the comments here. They MUST know what an absolute shambles it all is right now.

[grave hawk]

I know they sure as hell dump a lot of money into advertising. They're definitely not dumping into professionals capable of running a solid game.

[gentle ginkgo]

Planetary bases will fix it

[umbral trench]

@mods can I get my current game connected to scopely. I can't collect mission keys.

[copper forum]

[pale drift]

hey guys did you know that the event store Choice Rewards the 5* claims are not even? the Crystal claims include 5* epic Crystal, but the Ore lacks the 5* epic Ore, and the Same with the gas

[tepid bramble]

That is by design because “reasons”. 🤨.

And NO, they’re not good reasons, scopy is just miserly and greedy and love to make us crazy.

[orchid timber]

Any chance you're gonna fix the mission? Fallback part 5 waypoint spawned outside the boundary of the system. 🙄

[umbral trench]

@mod. HELP. I want to link my current game to scopely account. Not start all over with new game.

[vague compass]

<@&509690795536941056> About Maverik fraktion: Why doesn't a player who has risen to level 55 within the current week to help the alliance also get all the alliance tasks that we have already completed? He can't rise below Maverick week 1, not the alliance reward. This is completely wrong and not fair. Players give their all to help and are punished for it. That is WRONG, really wrong. Stop this immediately and give the Maverick alliance tasks to the players who felt pressured by you to speed up their ops level advancement. THIS IS A HUGE MISTAKE. Change it and all other affected players should immediately make a fuss. Stop this immediately. EU 108

[cunning leaf]

It's been like this for a long time, crystal always pays out better than the other 2

[static crow]

I need to log in with the emailed code at least twice before I get in. I'm sure I'm not alone. Even if I wanted to buy something, I have to jump through hoops to give Scopely my money.
lols

[slender monolith]

The “reasoning” is the packs they were each based on, and those only paid out epic crystal too.

[proper narwhal]

<@&509690795536941056> Am I mistaken, or have you all hidden here?🙂 This is probably the easiest way to shirk responsibility for the bugs and lags.

[vague grotto]

every weekend is the same, complete load of crud released on reset, then they all go radio silent, or one liners from the same person every weekend

[proper narwhal]

I just noticed a community manager has ventured out of hiding.🤣

[arctic pivot]

<@&509690795536941056> So it seems the password option on the webstore is gone for good?

How about stop logging me out every few hours?!

This E-Mail-Spam is getting annoying as it is and you keep sending me more and more while invalidating my password manager!!!!!

[storm oracle]

Any plans to fix thos lags and performance issues ever?

Scopley’s response:

[left hamlet]

With the Ultra Armada Event (kill lvl20+ hostiles) running together with the weekly NSEA event I have already exceeded the 2,000 hostile limit. Please raise this ridiculous limit which only serves to punish active players of your game

[gentle kindle]

At least you're getting emails. I'm not getting them in spam or the inbox now.

[molten jungle]

Improve the way the archive claim works/interacts with the rest of the game. You log on and the archive will block you from claiming chests until you claim it.

[dreamy spruce]

is it me or do the goal posts keep moving? Seems like not long ago events and things were targeted to ops 45 +; then it was 51+; now 55+
The BP event for the 50 and below - seem a little less then.
I wonder how new players would be attracted - well unless they spend big.

[sage wadi]

No maintenance tomorrow to finally solve faction store mess up?

[tulip light]

@tidal notch <@&509690795536941056> is there any word yet on CotA or an equivalent event structure that will allow you to plan d SF pending/upgrades? I am literally waiting on an answer before deciding whether to quit.

[fluid mist]

I feel you on that one i get the emails on a coin flip some days they come in some they don't never had that issue before this code thing came into play but then what can I expect from a company that can't even code basic without introducing bugs.

[gentle kindle]

Today was the first day they forced the code. Usually there has been a link to use password instead. That is now gone for me, but not some for my alliance, and no other way to get in.

[grim obsidian]

<@&509690795536941056> any word on the fix for the Falback Mission Part 5 mission marker? the work around suggested does not work for me.

[sage wadi]

Ferengi store messed up event store. But no worries, it is the first ferengi store, mistakes can happen.

[raw fiber]

fix should be deployed soon buddy!

[sage wadi]

Please any word about messed up faction store?

[low scroll]

When will you guys add some new exciting things to the event stores? Only thing we have is reliant parts after nearly 9 month of the ships release. Can you add premium mirror dust, old prime particles etc?

[gentle kindle]

<@&509690795536941056> I need some help and in-game support is as responsive as they normally are (not at all). I would think Scopely would want to make it easier to get into the store, but I guess not.

[grave hawk]

I see you specker Woods didn't have it in your heart to add dauntless parts to the ferengi BP....

[grave hawk]

I can't recall a community manager answering a question in some time. Their job is to take the slings and arrows... That's what they get paid for.

[gentle kindle]

Thanks. I'm not holding my breath any more than I am that I will hear from in-game support any time soon. Typical roll out of a scopely "feature."

[ripe hemlock]

you lucky one, i dont even get those codes
so in the end its impossible for me to login to the webstore

[grave hawk]

Well if I can't get it from the web store then I'm not going to buy it.

[mossy acorn]

Is a full 168hr cooldown necessary for Maverick Task Keys in the Maverick Faction Store?

Super annoying that I will always and forever be reminded that I didn't get to play on Maverick faction arc launch until late into that Tuesday evening. And have a half-day less to complete my solo task(s)

[ripe hemlock]

same problem here

[tulip light]

@raw fiber hi I’m waiting to hear what’s going on with CotA- if game is going back to random events around specialty ship and building upgrades I’m leaving. Hammy said there would be an answer this week.

[bronze mortar]

Is this skin ever coming back in an eventstore?

[finite mural]

It's in the pay store, and the refinery

[ornate night]

You can also source this in the outpost refinery.

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> who is doing the math over at Scopely HQ? One event requires 2 armadas in 1 day but you only get 1 pul per day and the other one requires 4 armadas over 2 days with again, only 1 per day!

Utterly stupid. Basic math, only counting to 2 and 4 and yet Scopely cant get that right...

[somber orchid]

Packs in the store will be the answer

[bronze mortar]

Well this sounds like a no

[tropic crown]

If we buy a 99 dollars pack will you after year figure out daylight savings time?

[gentle kindle]

If we can even sign into the store...

[elder pollen]

The webstore’s passcode business is such a pain, especially when you log us out every day or two (what’s wrong with longer sessions?). If you’re trying to discourage us from using it, good job 👍

[zealous stump]

@elder pollenive totally stop using the website. I'm not gonna relog into it every time i need to do something. VERY poor implementation.

[ripe hemlock]

"no store for you..."

[gentle kindle]

that assumes they even send an email with the code

[woeful nymph]

I am not sure which individual made the decision to cut off passwords and force us to receive SPAM messages to our registered e-mail, but this needs to be rolled back. I don't want to have to go to my e-mail and enter a code every few days.

[fluid mist]

they removed the password for me like 4 days ago I guess some people have different results in that area a buddy of mine just had the password removed yesterday as well which is weird

so what's gonna get broken with the update tomorrow. Are we gonna have to get a code sent to our email so we can log into the game now too. Ya I know it's a silly comparison but when you disable access to a product you don't bring much goodwill to a community ya know.

[woeful nymph]

I can't wait till they start seeing the revenue loss due to people not wanting to log in to the site using a code. Nobody wants to enter a code tabbing back and fourth while trying to play a game for enjoyment.

They'll just pay apple or goggle instead...or not pay anything at all

[odd prawn]

Good old maintenance 🤦‍♀️

[unreal saddle]

Huge lag on eu 107

[tropic crown]

Massive lag s33

[acoustic spoke]

APAC servers are not loading. 199 & 204

[keen loom]

Not buying enough packs. Look for that Prime Lag Free.

[fluid mist]

well they had to gove a reason for the maintenance tomorrow so of course lag would "mysteriously" start happening lol

[lusty bison]

My game is not loading. Tried on PC and android device. Stuck on this page. APAC 199 server.

[exotic tangle]

If you going to run events that arnt heroic, we need more of these new Borg directives, it’s not completeable with their slow drip

[cinder zinc]

Today I got cut off from logging into the website with my password. I can’t understand the reason g behind requiring an e-mail code to log in. The game is already overloaded with multiple layers of navigation to receive what are usually minimal rewards. They always talk about simplifying and streamlining game play but their actions are almost universally the opposite.

[lucid wing]

Imagine if the amount of time they spend changing things, they spent ironing out the bugs and performance issues. 🤔

[fluid mist]

I can imagine it but they'd still mess it up they don't have enough collective smarts

[chrome vortex]

I saw the notice about maintenance. The ark just started last week and you're already doing mid-month maintenance.. I was expecting that maybe next week.

[lucid wing]

They didn't add enough bugs with the latest release. Another insertion is required 🐛

[gentle kindle]

Did the system send you the email with the code? Mine didn't!

[fast oak]

<@&509690795536941056>

[cosmic coral]

Maintenance notification the night before maintenance, what is wrong with you people??!!!

[oak hawk]

Filling out your survey just now helped me realize my feelings about the game .... Here is what I came to as missing and big issues for me:

I am not progressing partially because of these:

Where is GOOD G5 scrapping, Good G6 scrapping and G6 freebooters? The IA building being broken kills all & the build materials for the Artifact Gallery is way too slow.

[tulip light]

Last time I left feedback I mentioned how much I liked CotA and they yanked so this time I praised them for cutting it - fingers crossed!

[ripe hemlock]

my email provider automatically identifies those emails as spam and removes them from my mail folders.

also using only codes as a login method sent by email is a weaker account protection and not stronger than email+password on their website.

tl;dr
i dont get any code from Scopely and cant login anymore to their webstore.

@raw fiber was the guy who published the blog with the password changes.
Ofcourse he has not replied to us regarding this matter (yet).

On a positive sidenote:
As long as players are not able to login to use their webstore = no money for Scopely. 🤭

[cinder zinc]

I’m getting the e-mails though sometimes it takes little while to show up.

[gentle kindle]

I tried a dozen or more times firs thing this morning and still nothing in inbox or spam.

[wild hearth]

lol apparently we can't event insult a process

[woeful nymph]

A lot of ISP's do this. It was not well thought out

[wild hearth]

So to rephrase my now-deleted post - having the Maverick and V'Ger weekly challenge tracks reset on different days is going to cause a lot of pain and grief. Keep similar things on similar schedules.

[ripe hemlock]

They have no clue what they are doing and even if... they always fail.

But someone at Scopely will track money income and recognize a decline.
So there is a chance they will wake up and correct their course some day.

I just completed the survey for Arc 88 and found out that the have a list of Improvements and the only valid point was the "readding korean language support" what does affect only korean players. The rest on the list were all issues only and the guy who created the questions/answers for this survey must be a genius and has alot of humor to be fair.

that makes no sense you should have it from everything I've read wow they must hate you more than they do me

[wary citrus]

<@&509690795536941056> Suggestion - the task key claim needs to be in synced with the task weekly reset timer. As you can see now I have to wait over 3 days to open a task cause I claimed it a few days after the weekly tasks started which now put me at a disadvantage of doing events/tasks at the same time. so I need miss out on a week of tasks to reset it to be inline with the weekly task reset. This should NOT be on the players it should have been built in to the design,

[warped vault]

This is absolutely stupid, my inbox filled with these verifications now

[limber steeple]

Art Department gets an F for the only difference betwwen the Mavrick Credits and Periphery Intel icons being that one has a frame. Be better

[signal raft]

Sheesh, only been kicked 3 times in 5 mins, come on you can do better than that Scopely

[sage venture]

Ugh. The stupid passcodes. And they don’t autofill. And with no option anymore to use a password …or a passkey …I’m done logging in.

[signal raft]

yep my bowel has felt more secure when I've got the old runny bum than this code. Plus the SPAM from getting these emails whenever the store kicks us or game forgets who we are. I've done logging into the store and the moment I have to log back into the game with one of these codes is the moment I uninstall and forget about it. It's not safe, it's not secure but it is ridiculous

[mossy sparrow]

<@&509690795536941056> remove the stupid passkey. Its annoying and using 2 accounts its way more annoying switching between them .with only password was way better and faster

[weary cedar]

Oh yay.....another 'monthly' Ferengi Token. Come on Scopely......just make them like the Choice Tokens so that people can choose what they need rather than having to buy things they have no need of to spend them all.

[humble furnace]

They have it already, Ferengi store has Gas/Cry/Ore if you have nothing else to spend on

[weary cedar]

I think you are missing the point. I DON'T want to have to spend on cheap things when I don't need them, just for the sake of using up my tokens. If I have a couple hundred tokens left, we should be able to save them for the next month. I earned them, I should be able to spend them on what I want. This also punishes people who might have something come up before the end of the Ferengi Store and be unable to access the game.

And I was wrong to say 'like the Choice tokens'. BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. At least the rewards are just less of the same.

It's also a known thing to anyone who has played games for a long time that large databases affect stability and lag of games. Those of us who have played for years have so many useless tokens that are just wasting game resources having to be maintained.

[weary elm]

If I'm logging in on the same devices I always log in with, I shouldnt have to check my email!!!! I should have the option to use password. Well, SCOPELY, I was tempted to buy a PACK and you just saved me from doing that. Thank you

[balmy shadow]

Yeah we just don't anymore, the entire alliance pretends the daily officer key just doesnt exist

[sinful walrus]

It is not customer service when you give a standard response and then follow it with a standard response that you haven't heard back, when any pending action is on your side.
You also seem to expect people to return to check if there has been any update as there was nothing sent to advise of any reply to the ticket.
This is a "We haven't done anything about your ticket but we're going to close it anyway, and without notifying you."

[crystal furnace]

Standard procedure. They’ve done it to me on several occasions

[pale garnet]

replace the password option or there can be no daily recruit shard mission done for the game, nor will there be any cash buys from this player ever again

[frosty yarrow]

would be nice if u made it easier to grind khans champions.. like let us spawn 10 at once.. so tidious to click one at the time, send ship back to based and go to faction to activate (when its not bugged)

[frigid geode]

<@&509690795536941056> Bring back the Password Option for the WebStore.
This is ridiculous:

1. You now have to switch back and forth between three applications, and the stupid game often crashes because it can't manage its resource consumption.
2. You usually have to do this twice because the website isn't able to handle the login process properly.
   It's annoying! #BringPasswordsBack!!!!

[tame locust]

well well... if your alliance hits the last milestone in the Maverick tasks about midnight or later, most of the alliance will not be able to claim the last Milestone when the Event gets reset early in the morning...

[olive shore]

<@&509690795536941056> I am having issues with logging into Scopely via the new email / passcode combo, I am never getting the code via email, what in the world are you all doing, you need a better system use mobile or an authenticator app, something more reliable than this piece of nonsense, or get your emails out of the big tech black hole that they must be vanishing into as they are not in my junk or inbox???? maybe allow for the client to have a notification that gets the code something than this we sent the email, if you didnt get it request another and neither show up.

[sly belfry]

This task keýs need to be aligned with the Task reset in the Maverick alliance store.

[cosmic coral]

Your Elite Solo waves are just a joke, last ship as a lvl 45 kills both my remaining ships, i.e. the ships that have already killed lvl 51's all through the solo wave even though ship also being the GS-31, sort it out you are just ripping people off at this point!!!!!

More poerful lvl 45 in earlier round, no problem.

Last ship, less powerful than the other kills the same Gs-31 and prior to this a 450M Northcutt, clearly this last ship, regardless of it's power is designed to not let you winn the wave!!!!!

[violet estuary]

Now that many small details are being addressed in fixes/patches - any idea when the artwork will be corrected for FC Janeway's Admiral section?

If they even honestly worked on 1% of the games issue's everyday this game would be so much better to actually play.

[violet estuary]

They should let us vote here which comes first 😅

This late maintenance is messing with peoples morning potty time

[fossil siren]

wow.... an unannounced maintenance....NICE JOB again!!!!

[finite mural]

except it was announced

[finite mural]

in game news, on discord, and in game chat

[fossil siren]

it was not pushed

[finite mural]

yes it was

[fossil siren]

nope

[gaunt sand]

What a stupid time to do maintenance, that’s messed my day up now. Why can you not do it during the night surely that would cause minimal disruption. Not impressed at all

[fossil siren]

i am pretty capable of creating a dc channel....more than those from scopely

we started this game with 1 maintenance per month.....now it's every week sometimes 2 per week, just curious when we have it every day....that wont take years....

[latent timber]

So instead of fixing the goddam outposts we got another refit for the vengeance???

[pseudo wasp]

With all these Admirals... I wish they had more influence in our ships... than just a few always on spots... they are socalled decisions makers!

[tawdry wedge]

Oh wow maintanace now at lunch time.... do they care just a little bit about their players?

[sour delta]

No

[fossil siren]

you know the answer already...

[tawdry wedge]

Just unusal at this time when people are on lunch breaks and have the time to play a bit

[grave hawk]

<@&509690795536941056> so improvements of note.

[keen orchid]

Definite, not the best time to start maintenance

[barren widget]

Ooof maintenance during peak hours scopley got the savings time adjustment backwards

[pseudo wasp]

And why cant we place any officer below decks and use their secondary skills by now? Unless The Man gives us more below deck personnel... its just total limited use of what we accumulated!

It be cool to have below deck synergy!

[quick flume]

Wow, patchnotes with fixes to NOTHING the playerbase asked for. Where are the needed fixes for outposts, kirshara, dauntless and gs-31? This is getting insulting

[pseudo wasp]

All these useless officers... with the same skillsets... but only a few can be used for PvP and PvE! Just limited creativity there...

[pure current]

A little late in the day for server maintenance don't you think?

[static thicket]

Fillers and byproducts

[grave hawk]

Completely useless and unasked for set of so-called improvements.

[fluid mist]

So I'm not here to complain that the game is down for maintenance we all knew that was gonna happen just because well it's a Tuesday and an arc came out so maintenance must happen. What I'm here to mention is what I find funny that this is only time I can honestly remember a scheduled maintenance that doesn't start 3-4hrs earlier than now. I guess that 1 hour dst time skip really messed with the clocks at scopley and forced them to do it at times when most the western world was awake. Let's hope they actually fix something or at least not make anything worse at bare minimum.

[opaque raft]

No. They dont care in any way

[quick flume]

Read the patchnotes and enjoy the answers 🤷‍♀️

[grave hawk]

They didn't fix anything of note. Just barely making new stuff a little more usable. Bulk sliders for the faction store? Hell no LOL. Gs31 beam lag? scopely doesn't even think that's a thing. We could go on and on but whatever.

[crystal furnace]

This is an “attempted” to fix one thing and messed up other things maintenance.

[pseudo wasp]

I wonder why a patch is always needed... like dont these people have coders that test the code before they release it in the wild??

[quick flume]

Thats a hard NO

[fluid mist]

they never fix what we really need fixed only stuff that should never have been broke to begin with and usally only after the community has given up on a fix

[lunar ocean]

That's never going to happen. That would massively throw off game balance.

[tranquil crag]

What a stupid time to do maintenance 🙄

[latent timber]

Also why cant we have maintenance during early morning? Like 6am for EU.... it used to be 10-11 am but now 1 pm????

[fluid mist]

we are the testers unpaid and never thanked on our finding issue's with their content either or praised for bringing something to their attention lol.

[pseudo wasp]

So just keep remaking different officers with same lame skillsets that are limited to certain Arcs but useless in others... lame.

[serene pine]

I swear, so many people in this community would not be happy even if scopely fixed every bug in the game. They'd still find something to say "this is rubbish" about. Just because this patch didn't fix the issue you wanted doesn't mean it was ****.

The UI issue in faction store that sooo many of us have been annoyed at? Fixed. Massive W.
The Fallback mission that was broken? Fixed.
We can now apparently scrap the meridian? W.

Seriously people, take the wins where we can get them and stop the toxic ranting for 5 minutes.

And yes the maintenance is at a weird time but they literally posted about it both here and in game yesterday at event reset. What more do you want from them? Them to ring your mobile to remind you to put ships out to autogrind?

(And I'm fully aware this is where scopely breaks more stuff and ruins the good stuff they've done here in the same patch but oh well 🤷😅)

[pseudo wasp]

Also... Where are more Klingons and Romulan Officers that can do PvE and PvP??? I wanna be a Romulan!

I want full synergy!

[latent timber]

If they could just add bugs that give us MORE stuff and fix those that result in less stuff... that d be great. Like the goddam outposts losing half of their waves

[grave hawk]

Just stop. Good Lord. Just flipping stop. There's no other place in existence where people accept God awful customer service such as this. Truly the worst. Years of asking for things to be fixed. People stick around for various reasons but at the end of the day these are people that have committed thousands of hours and many thousands of dollars to this product only to be given the shaft time and time again. So just stop with the sanctimonious BS about people always complaining.

If you don't want to hear it then just freaking move along.

[pseudo wasp]

Yea...

[serene pine]

Nowhere in my post did I say I accept the bugs they haven't fixed, I simply stated that people never acknowledge the good and always just say it's **** despite the good stuff. Your response complaining about me just pointing out good stuff kinda proves my point. And I can ignore it and move along? That goes both ways ya know 😉

[boreal stump]

I don't know why i am shocked Brokely can't program around timezone changes and now maintenance starting 4hrs late with 1day notice....

[grave hawk]

What good. I'm here for that list.

[quick flume]

Non of the posted fixes are fixes the majority is asking for for years. Who cares about the meridian being scrappable?

[tulip light]

@tidal notch <@&509690795536941056> howdy - still waiting for an answer on future of CotA. Was told there would be an answer this week.

[crystal furnace]

What good are you referring to? The never ending spinning wheel? The crashes when flipping between screens? Stuff they have introduced that doesn’t work? Stuff they have said they fixed but still doesn’t work? Stuff that they claim they are going to fix but still haven’t? Is that the “good” you’re talking about?

[serene pine]

You guys are just proving my point, keep it coming by all means. Ignoring the major complaint people have had lately (ui bug) because it hasn't been in the game for years? 😆 I don't need to say more.

[static thicket]

This was the dumbest decision ever….i have been complaining about this since it happened

[serene pine]

Agreed

[vital pawn]

My feedback is doing a maintenance at this time is going to wreck people's abilities to score in events

[grave hawk]

No you're just that guy. You're basically a troll. Enjoy your day.

[fluid mist]

I'm sure many of us are sick and tired of complaining in here not because we're always upset as @serene pine puts it but thats stuff is vastly not fixed when we do bring it up. Yes thing's do get fixed i won't deny it but when 95% of what does get fixed isn't stuff that affects the actual gameplay(faction store, rewards, or displayed power of ships) instead of actual issue's like waves freezing outposts freezing or displaying wrong missions outside of zones hostile power scaling thats increase by a factor of 10 every 2 hostile ship lvs. Thing's like this should never happen in the game when properly tested thing's like this should be in constant testing sites when Ned stuff gets introduced so that scopley never has to deal with us being in here ranting and raving. If scopley would be actually running like any proper gaming company thats not in it just for money but for the long haul or customer retention then this would be handled so different.

[grave hawk]

Pointless to reply to that guy. Don't give him any more juice. He's just a troll... Scopely plant whatever you want to call it... One of those guys that tries to keep the conversation going on behalf of a company that doesn't respect its players. Give him no more time or energy.

[vital pawn]

There's a bunch of people here who when they say 'my game doesn't work, here's what I'm seeing' will be swarmed by people like that about how they are just whinging. They just want to pick fights

[serene pine]

No arguments with anything there

[grave hawk]

Exactly. The moderators in the community managers don't respond to anything anymore. When they do it's pure nonsensical replies.

[boreal stump]

so we had till 12pm EST to do the sms events and you take down the server at 8am est.. for 2hrs...

[fluid mist]

or they tell us to simmer down when we banter back and forth. Or mute us if we call scopleys actions less than smart (can't use a different word it would trip the bots)

[quick flume]

The biggest issue is they fix all the wrong stuff, not the things the playerbase is asking for for years

[static thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/new-and-improved-billboard-plaster-new-coke-if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it-gif-5866270895633091063

The guy that came up with this now works for Scopoly and came up with the idea to use email verification instead of a password

[pseudo wasp]

The Meek... is the weak

[quick flume]

They will simply get no buys from me as long as that code/email stuff isnt removed

[static thicket]

They don’t want me to stop spending

[serene pine]

Pointing out that you can't even react positively on the announcement because people have spammed it with negative emotes and that no matter what positive things scopely do, people still ignore it and complain about other stuff because "this thing has been an issue for X amount of time" is trolling??? 😆 new definition of trolling I guess and not the intention but oh well

[quick flume]

You go to that site to often 😂😂

[slow venture]

should be 10 purchase a day

[tulip light]

This is the first time I’ve not even bought bp since they started - that’s how mad I am about CotA

[grave hawk]

Yep you're a troll. And you still haven't pointed out any good that the game has done relative to the things that don't work as intended. So by all means troll, point out the things I've missed. Enjoy your day 🙂

[slow venture]

no cota this month

[indigo pivot]

Was going to buy my first pack today, nope. Thanks Scopely for reminding me why this game is close to its end. Playstation time!

[storm oracle]

Theres so much in the Patch noted about fixing but nothing about the Lag so i assume the lag belongs to the Game now?

[quick flume]

I dont understand why you say you see anything positive in the patchnotes. Nothing in those so called fixes is of any use and non are the most asked fixes

[tulip light]

@slow venture oh I noticed. They repeated the event long enough for people to plan and strategize around it only to yank it without notice. The disrespect shown to players was shocking.

[serene pine]

Ok now either you are trolling, or you have been completely off discord for the last week or so. "None of those fixes is of any use or asked for"?? The UI bug fix alone was requested for days in the bug report channel, but I guess you missed that.

[slow venture]

the worst is when they put cota tomorrow suddenly when everyone who saved for it used their materials day before

[idle skiff]

Don't forget, just because Scopely SAY they've fixed something, doesn't mean it's actually fixed, reserve judgement until the game is up 😀
Also, the patch notes NEVER list what was broken during maintenance!
The anticipation is killing me 😀😀

[quick flume]

The main requests have been fix outposts, kirshara, dauntless, gs-31 etc, NOT scrap meridian crap

[tulip light]

@slow venture ikr. That’s why I’ve been hassling the mods all week for a clear answer one way or the other

[mild thicket]

I've been hoarding my buildings/mirror dust/artifacts etc in case they release new events over this week which require them

[slow venture]

im pretty sure when they posted the monthly schedule, that clearly states no cota...

[mild thicket]

They did, but they didn't state there would be no events replacing them with similar requirements, so I held on, just incase

[grave hawk]

I think that's a solid decision.

[slow venture]

possible a trick from scopely so ppl who used up the materials for the event would need to buy packs if cota suddenly appears.

[tulip light]

@slow venture yeah but announcing it at beginning of arc isn’t helpful. Nor did they say whether it’s coming back. Really it’s like they tried to engineer this to be as annoying as possible

[grave hawk]

That's definitely within the margin of error.

[quick flume]

Not a trick at all. Cota was messing up the profits so it has to go. Simple business descision

[slow venture]

i wish there is a website showing revenue per day statistic report

[potent pike]

Seriously, who's bright idea was it to do maintenance during a prime log in time?

[tulip light]

Personally I didn’t care about new epic shards in CotA. What I cared about was being able to plan my spending of slow drip currencies so I at least got something for it

[quick flume]

I wonder why people complain about the time of the maintenance more then 24hrs after the ANNOUNCEMENT of the maintenance

[vague compass]

It's disappointing how little you care about the reported bugs. The few bugs you claim to have fixed are a joke. One programmer and one day's work, while the rest just sits around swimming in money. What a shame.

[gritty fern]

They don't care as long as the bucks keep rolling in.

[signal raft]

So no fix for the GS-31 beam, something players have potentially paid for which also entirely breaks the Kir'Shara which players have also potentially paid for and its been broken for some time now. Not good enough <@&509690795536941056>

[quick flume]

You forget outposts and dauntless for mobiles

[signal raft]

ah yes, the other things people likely paid for that they can't be bothered to fix

[crimson lotus]

ok cool, i'm glad it's not just me that cant get in.

[haughty sail]

Don't fix things, just introduce overpowered junk and then sell the solution for early G7 players as otherwise its borderline impossible I guess

[crimson lotus]

Look man, if they make the game faster so i dont have to spend 20 minutes clicking chests in the morning that'd be great.

[gritty fern]

Hell it's 8:00 in the morning here and it says they're still doing maintenance.

[signal raft]

The need to do maintenance downtime for anything other than critical issues baffles me as it is

[gritty fern]

I guess they're putting in extra glitches

[signal raft]

typos and refits mostly as normal 😄

[chrome elm]

another hour bro, assuming they don’t extend it like they have the last few times😂

[gritty fern]

👍

[tropic crown]

Because they know it will fix almost nothing and add new bugs.

[keen loom]

Ever notice the similarities between presidential debates and Scopley’s posts?

[violet estuary]

While I am glad this has been fixed... How about the GS-31's beam lagging, the random game restarts keeping me from doing solo waves. And what about the Outposts? Any info there?

[quick flume]

Bigger chance to start complaining after the announcement not more then a day after

[wooden spire]

Doesn’t matter when the complaints happen; all are ignored equally.

[lunar ocean]

I get what you're saying and it would be great if they'd at least do it for some officers, but doing it for everyone would break the game. Imagine Chang working below deck. How could you possibly balance around that? We'd end up in another Tal situation.

[wraith meteor]

Exactly. That is the Scopely business model. Create limited use crap that people buy over and over. The only solutions are stop playing entirely or everyone stop buying every piece of crap Scopely sells.

[unreal geyser]

UI scale is BETTER, but not quite pre-87. Used to be seven columns on my screen.

[onyx lion]

Passwords back for website please. It’s 5 extra clicks to check my email to get your stupid code.

[wind dune]

Looks like the problem with the mantis Archive is still not fixe

[opal summit]

I still have the option to use my password. When you enter your email and get the page to enter the code there is a link toclick and enter your password instead.

[cinder shadow]

what happened with this?? I guess scopely forgot to add it in the maintenance lol

[cunning monolith]

Apparently also forgot to enable Meridian scrapping

[mental zephyr]

On my IPad, I now have 3 columns instead of 2. That's definitely a welcome change, saves lots of scrolling. Thumbs up from me.

[reef moon]

SOOOOO, The GS31 Beaming Ability is stillllll delayed/screwed-up( Amoung ALOT more). Let's be honest at this point. Ya'll ain't fixing anything. Just slapping Touch up Paint on the Old Winter Beater and she ones fires on 2 outta 8 cylinders! Be honest. You don't know how to fix it!!

[craggy barn]

My Maverick faction task progress reset.

[rare vale]

I had to go in and download the update, then restart my client to see this change, but it is there

[chrome elm]

wow… i haven’t been booted out of the game for over a year, after this new update i’ve been booted out of the game twice in less than 30m

[quick flume]

Wow, Non of the announced fixes are there and what are they putting a a post ingame for? the precious REFIT 😡😡😡😡

[chrome elm]

booted 3 times now… so much for “game stability”😟

[solar sun]

hahaha they scratch the meridian scrap hahaha how incompetent

[haughty sail]

they scrapped the scrapping

[severe basin]

My game has crashed 3 times now after doing the update on IOS before that it didn’t crash at all 🤣

[signal raft]

glad you didn't stop the random black infinite preparing screens in the faction stores, I would have missed those.

[slow perch]

Stuck here both on PC and mobile..cant do anything but view the home base

@tidal notch @raw fiber

[zealous rose]

@finite mural will there be additional arc missions this month aside from the ones in the maverick faction store?

[finite mural]

no

all missions are available

[zealous rose]

👌

[signal raft]

can we stop the random maintenance sessions if there's nothing worthwhile being "fixed"

[sage wadi]

Faction store got fixed..

[unreal geyser]

halfway...

[signal raft]

Partially, they sorted out some overlap, they didn't stop the infinite black preparing screens, they didn't add bulk claims, they didn't fix it not remembering that you had claimed something only to then throw a hissy fit if you tried to claim it again because you had been clicking faction store stuff for the last 5 hours and had lost the plot a little

App updates can be used to fix spelling and format issues even adding new stuff, maintenance is not required

[sage wadi]

So not nothing 🙄

[tulip light]

<@&509690795536941056> @raw fiber @tidal notch

Is anyone actually monitoring this chat - been asking the same question for two days

[finite mural]

what question is that

[fluid mist]

well i guess there's your answer grumpy lol

[finite mural]

For starters this channel is for providing feedback, not asking questions.

[fluid mist]

no problem understood arsenic which channel is named questions because I don't see it just saying!!!

[somber orchid]

Helping each other?

[orchid burrow]

Why is it so difficult to get enough Rare Armada Tactical Cores? I've done all the armadas I can, and after 3 months, I'm still 30k short to level up my Ops to 57. Frustrated.com 🤔 😳

[finite mural]

gives them too

[sage wadi]

Guess that's players helping players. Not asking anything about game development status.

[fluid mist]

that would be us helping each other as it suggests. We also have a suggestion channel that we all have our own opinions about of course. Though no channel listed as questions since as it was stated this channel is for feedback. So I looked at literal channels and what they were called not for what they're used for. It's all good though I was kinda making fun of the mood was all.

[final marten]

Hallo wer kann mir mit dem Spiel helfen

[opaque raft]

Every maintenance keeps introducing new bugs.
Scopely will never learn

[lament narwhal]

Impacting ability to compete in an slb

[ripe hemlock]

is this a honest question or just a rhetoric one?

[grave hawk]

You are so aptly named.

[chrome elm]

booted 6 times from the game in the last hour, booted zero times from the game in the past year… not good guys🥺

maybe the latest update might not be performing as expected on the ios platform 🤔

[river spindle]

Performing exactly as expected

Quality over quantity

[cinder shadow]

I had to reinstall the game...

[icy patio]

I don't enjoy the 30 minutes of claiming, daily

[naive pendant]

There is way too much of a lag between the time the gravitational blast on the GS-31 is initiated until the time it actually occurs.

[storm portal]

It's impossible to play on PC. Still blocked on charging page

[blazing kayak]

When trying to collect chests in the webstore, the page keep returning to top page after claiming the individual chests.. it has been very distracting and frustrating and having to repeat the scrolls after collecting each chests.. this shouldn't be the case and should be rectified.

[storm portal]

Work fine on my phone

[humble furnace]

Did you update PC client? new update today, also dont wait for it to load it never will

[storm portal]

Yes, i had unstalled the game and reinstalled it with the last launcher. Same pbm

[spiral matrix]

Usunolem grę zainstalowałem od nowa ale od nowa gra gdzie stare konto

[flint oriole]

Forever loading is a known issue. Simpauly said they were investigating, but he is gathering a list of known affected players

[chrome elm]

ok… that makes 8 times i’ve been booted from the game in the last 2 hours… is someone looking into this issue, which hasn’t been an issue for me for over a year?
it started today, with the new update

[storm portal]

The game seems have pbm to load / DL assets after the update. Now the game is ok. But many picture are missing on screen or the game stay on the charging page when i try to open and element (event, shop, etc...)

[lethal coyote]

trying to open a ticket about email login issues its asking for user ID what is this ?

[tame lion]

Someone broke the sign in on the website. It now requires that I use a 6-digit code sent to my email instead of the vastly better, time tested, much more secure "thing you know" password that only exists in my head. Now anyone who is a clever enough black-hat can intercept my email and log in as me whenever they want.

[spiral matrix]

Main mail main English not good

Hid50272758

[remote jolt]

A relever : une mise à jour et pas de bug 😀

[wind prism]

Told ya. Scopley the #1 game in IOS CRASHES. 17 in 54 minutes. Awesome and a maintenance release. Scopley. Your people are so skilled.

[pliant shoal]

This update broke my game. I can log in, but clicking on anything that opens a menu like Events or Factions locks me in a "Preparing" screen.

[storm portal]

Si t'as pas de bug, t'as de la chance alors 😆

[storm portal]

Same for me

[chrome elm]

now menu screens are jumping around as you scroll through 🤣

[storm portal]

It's seem to be better for now. No more bug 🤞

[graceful cedar]

Daily event ship upgrade not scoring ...... waited 40 minutes and restarted the game. Fix it.

[finite mural]

what are you spending

[graceful cedar]

parts and mats. I upgraded 3 selkies, 2 components each. Rare and uncommon parts. This is ridiculous, every update it gets worse.

[earnest lintel]

Game is unplayable now, click on anything and it freezes on the change screen, let it sit there for 40 minutes, nothing.

[velvet wind]

Many of us with the same issue have been discussing in bug reporting

[fluid mist]

sounds like it's working as intended if I've ever heard it after all wouldn't be the first time game's messed up after a maintenance lol

[earnest lintel]

not working at all

[raven atlas]

This is a very serious issue. Cant do any events, so missing out on dailies, bp‘s progress and event rewards. Also base at risk if peace shield isnt extended.

[velvet wind]

Yeah tell me about it, missed the end of yestersays events also probably fell down the lbs

I don't claim most things till after daily reset so will miss all of those if it don't get fixed soon

[raven atlas]

Game should be shut down asap for an emergency maintenance.

[fervent oriole]

Game is unplayable atm on this computer, is ok on different account and computer.

[cedar narwhal]

So, there's no way to log into the webshop without this email anymore ... okay, then there simply won't be a webshop for us anymore.

[humble furnace]

cannot login with email 😐 it no longer sends the code

[crystal furnace]

Scopely won’t get my money anymore then. Thats the only way I buy packs.

[signal raft]

I know we always make fun of maintenance being to add more bugs but...

We are spot on once again

[cedar narwhal]

It looks like Scopely doesn't want you to spend money 🤣

[gleaming apex]

i guess not lol

[velvet wind]

Can't even play the game let alone spend money lol

[ruby radish]

You'd think they'd fix their game if for no other reason there'd be that one

[short steppe]

I've noticed that they've removed the password option for logging into the website. As such, I will no longer be logging in to collect Mission Keys.

It's bad enough that we have to go outside of the game to get something on a daily basis, but now you expect us to not only go to a web browser but also log into an email account to get a pin. No thx. I'm done with those.

Pass it along.

[limber steeple]

you should have asked your psycoloists about Demand Avoidence before implementing your MFA 💩 Im not likely to comply. You've harmed me, my alliance and your game

[tulip light]

Dead silence from mods

We may as well be muttering to ourselves on the subway

[fervent oriole]

I may quit, its making me mad

[ruby radish]

All I know is they better give me full BP rewards for whats missed. Cause if not I am fully done

Stupid me bought the BP unlock ahead of time cause I wanted the reliant.

[fervent oriole]

That was mty clean version, it would not let me post my first version

[lunar ocean]

It's not even MFA. I honestly think AI came up with it.

[flint oriole]

This. For a lot of folks it’s two different passwords which doesn’t meet the definition. It’s outsourcing MFA responsibility to email security using a verification method that is known to not provide any significant increase to account security

[urban goblet]

Has nothing to do with MFA - if you are optimistic - it is one factor
Realistic more like half a factor or no factor
It is as safe as a door with the key under the doormat

[rare vale]

Let's be real, they don't care whether you collect your keys. They only care if you're there to spend.

That being said, I'm all for holding Scopely to the fire when they do things poorly (which is really often these last 18 months), and I hate the new website login as much as everyone else, but I have to defend them on the login change. Nobody seems to be considering that it's highly possible (and likely) Scopely didnt make this change because they wanted to, but because they had to. It could be because of a government regulation, an agreement with 3rd parties who run the payment services linked to their website, or it could even be because there was some sort of scare/breech which caused them to make the change in an effort to avoid worse problems before they happen. None of which they are required to divulge to the players. Sure, the new login is worse, but its not so awful that pitchforks need to be raised. Want to be mad at people, then blame the crooks who do the things which make increased security a necessity.

[grizzled topaz]

thats the problem it not really increase the security at all lol

[flint oriole]

I don’t think raising the criticism of it not likely meeting the security objective is unreasonable. If they wanted MFA, even due to regulatory pressure, cloud based soft tokens are widely available and scalable. Assuming something like regulatory pressure, this solution would be considered noncompliant

[grizzled topaz]

if someone hacks your email he now has even easier acess than before

[flint oriole]

Assuming a Microsoft-based backend, using Azure and having people use phone app tokens would have been way better and probably just as easy

[limber steeple]

Oh wow, I hadn’t thought it through. Tried it once and now feeling like I’ve given my bank codes to the Kenyon Lottery Winner that wants to share his fortune with me. Won’t be doing that again

[tulip light]

@finite mural can you confirm that there will be no replacement to CotA and we are back to random unscheduled events for any specialty upgrades?

[finite mural]

no replacement is scheduled at this time, and there hasn't been any word about future events

[tulip light]

Well so long and thanks for all the fish!

[graceful cedar]

They'll eventually recycle it into something stupid and unattainable ..... I have faith in them, that way.

[tulip light]

Nah I’m done - archiving account. The way this was handled was unacceptable- I went all out prepping for this and then thy just yanked it? What’s the point in putting so much time into a game that has zero respect for the players

[odd prawn]

Solid maintenance that was there boys <@&509690795536941056>

[wooden spire]

What a farce

[odd prawn]

It's more like NFA rather than MFA. All they're confirming is you have access to the email. Nothing else.

[odd prawn]

COTA always stood for Conor Only Takes Away

[raven atlas]

There better be a full compensation for missed events, dailies, bp progresses for those who were affected ONLY!

[odd prawn]

I'm not sure they're actually capable of telling that or even know what any of their back end data means.

You ask them to check the back end data and they grab a torch and a mirror and wander off

[graceful cedar]

maybe if they had left the second set of quotations stay where they were it would have been better. 😂😂😂😂😂

[odd prawn]

They were holding the game together. They were coding duct tape

[flint oriole]

They may be in the troubleshooting stage where a DBA is screaming its Networking’s fault, Networking is blaming OS, and OS is on a five hour lunch break

[odd prawn]

Is it not time that the word "Scopely" was added into the known issues channel?

Far as I can tell the 2 positives they have actually done recently.

Adding pips for the V'GER track that should have always been there and re-adding the events for the alliance tasks which should have never been taken away.

The rest is just fail after fail. With how recently maintenance you should be running maintenance as little as possible until you can get it right. Silly stuff like tpos, additional quotation marks, graphical issues you can do with a client update. Maintenance is not needed.

The refit for the vengeance is trash as there are officers that can easily do the same job.

[tulip light]

God was trying to get tribblebot to show me how to archive account - kept showing me articles about IA building

[odd prawn]

Just email them. The bot is literally there so you eventually get confused and forget what you were doing and just go buy a pack instead.

[opaque raft]

#⭐-official-announcements message

you cannot appreciate patience we no longer have

[odd prawn]

Can't spell inpatience without patience. It's not a word but you can get Scopely would add it to the game and then throw a maintenance in to correct it to impatience

[opaque raft]

There is understanding left either. So i would appreciate if scopely wouldnt thank me for that

[graceful cedar]

It's been 3 1/2 hours and no points. I'm putting in a ticket to have my account deleted, Scopely can kiss my *****.

[signal raft]

Welcome back Bobbie 😂

#⭐-official-announcements message I already had a longer shield on this. Can someone ask Conor if I can have a pack of my choice to "protect my progress" I'm his biggest fan

[storm merlin]

anyone else having problems of getting ships out of dry dock and leveling up. I just goes to the startup screen with preparing cycling in the bottom right hand corner. only wat to get out of the loop is to close down the whole program. Can't even get into chat!!

[marsh jolt]

yup, since patch and update, all i get is preparring

[tranquil cargo]

24 hour shield is annoying.

[ripe hemlock]

its most likely a safe bet

[ripe hemlock]

its not MFA (multi factor authentification) - its TFA (temu failure authentification)

[ripe hemlock]

Sure, the new login is worse, but its not so awful that pitchforks need to be raised.
I disagree here because of two reasons:

1. the change in how to login to their service lowered security for all accounts, not improving (as advertised).

The proper way would be 2FA (password login and code for verification) as required in EU for financial transactions on the internet.

2. This new method does not even work for most of the players and was not properly tested (a common problem for Scopely).

Code required for login to their services does not even arrive the customers.
Reason: Most Email providers have spam protection heuristics in place to protect their users from phishing and spam. Scopely triggered this alarm by sending mutliple nearly identical emails to each customer within one day (over a dozen identical emails per day from the same source is most likely identified as SPAM).

Needless to say in practice such a method does not even work for STFC because on mobile devices if you tab out of the game to check your emails then the game just crashes because of memory leaks/bugs. This is a well known issue since at least 2 years now.

tl;dr
Using a code (which is sent to the player) by email and then needs to be entered in the game to be able to play/using the store was never tested and will not work in the future with the game in its current bad state.

Also i highly doubt that Scopely can manage to make this procedure fail safe: Customer either never gets a code or the code arrives not in time and invalidates so that the customer requests a new code (which invalidates before arriving again).

I really hope you see the problems here 🖖

Scopely didnt make this change because they wanted to, but because they had to. It could be because of a government regulation, an agreement with 3rd parties who run the payment services linked to their website, or it could even be because there was some sort of scare/breech which caused them to make the change in an effort to avoid worse problems before they happen.
This is blind guessing with no proof and i dont like that you defend them for screwing this up so badly. There was no need to change this. We asked them - they ignored and never replied.

If there really was a need for a change then why not telling us the reasons in their blog?
(For example what discord did in their blog with age verification procedures - that nobody liked too.)

[ripe hemlock]

The new meta in STFC seems now "Preparing to retrieving..." and must be a huge step up from previous iterations of fails.

[signal raft]

I agree, I can't see any government enforcing potato level authentication that Scopely has implemented

[tawdry flax]

At this point 99% of the population has passwords stored on their device with some sort of biometric autofill abilty . NO ONE IS TYPING IN PASSWORDS. Which means means you changed an effortless process in to 2-step process for no reason. This is not more secure. This not less time consuming. Who thought this was a good idea?

[ripe hemlock]

Who thought this was a good idea?
In doubt just blame Conor. /s

[ripe hemlock]

Government of Narnia would do that.

[fervent oriole]

I* blames conor, dont know why, I just do

[signal raft]

Hey hey now....lets stay calm here. Conor is the GOAT (Gleeful Only About Transactions)

[signal raft]

I heard Scoeply are trying to run things over there now...Narnia is down for maintenance to correct Alsan to Aslan right now

[rare vale]

You're right, I dont know for sure, but the inverse is true of those complaining about it. Im just playing devil's advocate. Frankly, the risk of decreased web traffic alone points to this being something they had to do vs wanted to do. Why risk the decrease in traffic and revenue unless you're being forced to do so? I stand by what I said. Im not going to just assume what they did or didnt do... which, if you look at my original post, I never did. I said it was possible they had no choice.

[ripe hemlock]

And again.

We asked them multiple times already, myself included.
Their response was muting me for three days.

If there was any possible reason for this change they would simply just have told us why they change it.

[keen loom]

I wonder if Scopley maintenance will ever actually make problems better rather than exacerbate them.

[rare vale]

They're under no obligation to share anything, especially if there was a security concern or some sort of business agreement with a 3rd party.

In the former, they are not required to announce the breach until an investigation of what was breached, how, and what information was taken has been concluded.

Again, not saying what is or isnt, just pointing out that everyone is just assuming it was simply a poor business decision (which it could be, but we dont know so we shouldn't just assume so).

[ripe hemlock]

Scopely just explores new ways to shoot themselfes in the foot for no reason.

Imagine you are operationg as a company with around 250k customers and just change the way they can operate with your service. Ofcourse everyone would just think they have planned ahead, made risk/reward analysis and went thru "what can possibly go wrong then?".

But its Scopely. They release untested changes on their game to the live service, get our customer feedback what works and what not. ignore the feedback and make the same mistakes over and over again.

So assuming that this was "just another of their bad decisions" is more than possible and a legit reason.

[signal raft]

Curious that all along Scopley has said its them doing this and its not "our partners at whoever it is that runs the store" suggests its just Scopely being full on derp mode

[fluid mist]

every chance scopley gets they tty to blame something that goes wrong onto someone else. So this wasn't an unintentional thing the having to use a code it was completely intentional and it was from scopley. Now either they themselves thought it up or got told its been over a week since it got officially done. They haven't played blame game so there's your proof for 1 reason or another simply put they dont want to take responsibility for having to have security on their site when it comes to possibility of hackers getting into our emails getting the code and gaining complete access. I'm not the smartest guy in the world but hackers will do whatever they have to to make a buck. The same way scammed get your info to try and make you spend money on buying or fixing something on your computer whatever they have to do to get what they want and a code doesn't secure anything nowadays.

[wet chasm]

The worst lag yet ...is annoying

This game truly has become unplayable.

Way to drive everyone away.

[carmine yew]

The problem is, we all still log in.
Like a bunch of crack addicts
We know its bad for our health yet we keep coming back for more
Will be funny when everyone gets so fed up they decide not to care about their dailies and events and scopley has zero login attempts pinging their servers. maybe then things will change

[steady bluff]

You can, it's on the events, at least for me

[cyan isle]

Think of this. The state of the game is so bad. Unbearable lag for one year straight. Now peace shields every maintenance for 24 hours because people can’t log in. STOP touching stuff. You can’t fix anything anymore.

[wet chasm]

@carmine yew I'm already there...been only logging in to set a shield until I decide if I'm uninstalling...which after today's continued lack of respect for their customers....likely cements the uninstall.

[limber oriole]

Dont know if its been said. Please get rid of this 💩

Im not interested in spending on a game that so broken that you only fix new bugs so the whales will spend and screwovrr everyone else.

[fervent oriole]

still locking up, missed all the dailys 🙁

[steel ridge]

I haven't been able to get on the last 7 hours and there's been no comment or even email reply to scopley on this.

Welcome to the club of "we play this why?"

[wanton sleet]

I hate the one-time codes, and for me the passwords have been completely removed as an option on the website login.

[dense plume]

@wanton sleet I have that same issue. Can no longer use password, no option. I don't like it.

[slow perch]

I dont think thats an issue. That is by design

[rose anchor]

I gotta ask this. What is the point of having activated ability errors when summoning vger hostiles or species 8472 hostiles? Why is it when you have this error you have to warp out of the system and warp back in? Is it just lazy programming on your part Scopely? You would think that when you use that ability an enemy would spawn every time. That's how it is for every other game out there. Why are you guys so different?

[wanton sleet]

I'm sure its by design.. That design sucks.. I hate spam mail to get access to a site I had a password for

[ebon jackal]

I know this is in feedback, but I can sort of explain why that happens.
The summoned enemies don't spawn when you use the ability. They're already there, flying around, but invisible.
The problem is that the code doesn't require there be a certain number of them, so sometimes the hidden ones run out, and then you get an error.
You can help to reduce that by destroying 4 or so of the non-hidden hostiles in the system between each hidden one. When I do that, I don't get ability errors with 8472.
Yes, Scopely should set a minimum number of them to be present, but that hasn't happened (either that or it doesn't work correctly).

[sleek tangle]

TO ALL REGUARDING GAME TODAY: Scopley took their coders on a cruise thru the straights of hormuz to reward them. I am suprisingly ok with this.🤣

[knotty kayak]

not funny at all

[shut stirrup]

All these complaints, and you all still spend millions.

[storm portal]

PC Servers are broken again ? Surprise

[desert dew]

I’m wondering why Scopely even goes through the effort of making videos telling the player base that they’ve heard and understood the players’ concerns, promising improvements, and then still not delivering anything noticeable in the end. At least I haven’t seen anything that actually changed.

And did you notice that Hammy barely shows up here anymore? Then again, what is he supposed to do? He’s basically stuck in a losing position.

[bronze mortar]

<@&509690795536941056> my Server still don’t get the Schematic salvage regional leaderboard for the vengeance and the support doesn’t help at all. Why is this being gate kept from us?

[raw fiber]

sent you a dm

[prime arrow]

After months of terrible game stability, constant maintenance, and broken content, there are really only two conclusions that can be drawn: Scopely isn’t capable of fixing the game, or Scopely isn’t motivated to fix the game. I’m not sure which is worse, it’s kind of a pick-your-poison thing.

[hollow plover]

As long as the game remains broken, my wallet will remain broken as well 🤷‍♂️

[quasi field]

@raw fiber Thank you for fixing the Faction screens!

[raven atlas]

AI bots cannot go on a cruise

[raw fiber]

hammy is on leave and will be back today (wednesday)

[hollow tide]

It's not fixed!! They squeezed the background view somewhat but not to the situation before the foulty maintenance. I'm still one more short. I used to have eight per row, now seven is the max per row. If you roll out the researches there is still more free space on both sides than one item extra in the rows would take. WHY oh WHY didn't they do it wright in the first place. I doubt they will ever correct it to the previous state now. We fixed it! (the scopely way) So what's the problem?

[ruby radish]

Because there's a lot of people who fall for it

[azure pike]

Removing the option for password sign in on the web store is an incredibly annoying change.

[fallen spear]

He's learned from the last few maintenances 😂

[cosmic coral]

What's happening with the extended golden shield, don't see it in known-issues?

[quasi field]

I'm still happy that it's better than what it was last week.

[velvet wind]

Many players either can't log in or can't get off the station screen once in

[fluid mist]

they keep making those video's because unfortunately there's still people clinging to the hopes and lies that get fed to them each month and also suffer from fomo. Which I can understand but fomo aside how can you even satisfy that feeling in the game when it doesn't work at least half the time making that fomo pack you point invalid right from the start.

[hollow tide]

My fomo in this game has left the building almost as long ago as that dude... what was his name again? 😜

[pulsar wharf]

So what ever ya did scopely ya made it worse

Went from a loading screen to a blue screen

[fallen spear]

That's already a progress in $copely's books 😉

[pulsar wharf]

I was in first In 2 SLBS when i went to bed not gonna be happy if that's gone when I get back in. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling nothing

[slow perch]

Yeah me too..Atleast it was loading the base earlier. Now its directly going to the blue screen now

[torn dagger]

Android is working for me, but PC freezes whenever trying to switch screens (station to system, change ship, etc)

[raven atlas]

Not being able to play and missing all events, rewards and bp progression etc. Is getting more annoying by the hour.

[ornate sundial]

Same, will be livid if I miss out on the rewards

[fluid mist]

This is a main reason I never pay attention to slbs anymore because at any given time the game has either a bug or glitch that seems to mess something up I lose my placement and I turn into a green rage monster that makes the hulk look puny. So I never concentrate on slbs anymore makes me much happier and less angry also makes scopley less money if you don't spend on packs or stuff from packs lol

[torn python]

Still a lot of players unable to play

[lean current]

the game has been totally unplayable for 2 days now for some players, to my fellow players, smart money is to stop paying to play. Scopely is swirling like the rest of the turdys in the giant toilet bowl of life, they do not care enough to give us a quality game experience, and we are wasting our time and money.

[torn python]

It’s the Wrath of Khan! He doesn’t like the events focused on him 😂

[scarlet schooner]

KHAAAAAAN!!!

[pulsar wharf]

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

I need TP FOR MY BORTAS!

[barren agate]

The dreaded blue screen. They must have virus. 😆

[little arch]

second day already

[torn python]

They are aware.

[chrome elm]

randomly booted from the game 6 times yesterday (once today) after the update that was supposed to “stabilize” play… i haven’t been booted from the game in over a year prior… imo you’re not only not fixing the game, you’re breaking it further with more added content

[torn python]

Who needs a separate device just for STFC?

[nocturne jasper]

can you ever have 2 game accounts, one you have now , and a second on you can start from the beginning , i like to know , because i want to keep the one i have now and start a new game from the beginning ty

[odd prawn]

yup, just need to be able to make multiple scopely accounts. Having 2 accounts on a single device though is against their terms though...apparently

[signal raft]

Conor said: - You want STFC branded devices? no problem, we will make them cloud based hardware managed directly by our dev team

[nocturne jasper]

i wish there terms changed so we can have two accounts on the same device

[haughty sail]

you want to set your phone on fire by running 2 instances of the game at the same time??

[odd prawn]

I'm sure if you buy packs on them both they don't care 😄 but you can easily run more than one on a single device if you wanted to and I am not convinced Scopely would even be able to tell

[little arch]

interesting idea - being unable to play on two accounts at the same time 😅

[nocturne jasper]

i'm on my lab top thats where i want them

[pliant shoal]

My game is broke again, clicking on any menu leads to a never ending "preparing" screen

[torn python]

Known for over a day

[nocturne jasper]

i tryed it but i can't do another account

[pliant shoal]

Yes you can see I commented that yesterday, but then it was working

[torn python]

Maybe they are resetting to before yesterday’s maintenance.

[chrome elm]

the dreaded blank event screen has reappeared

[signal raft]

that and the retrieving... events are the best ones!

[nocturne jasper]

i want to start a new game without loosing the one i have now so i can see how far i can get with the new game

[torn python]

I’m going to find a Commadore 64 and play Star Trek. No problems with maintenance.

[odd prawn]

check your DM. Where I certainly did not provide any advice on that matter what-so-ever 👀

[opal orchid]

Don't know why you try to keep the game within time changes. Just leave it and let the pkayers adapt. Now we have multiple resets.

[night mortar]

I'm having this "Preparing" loop issue too, been going on the 3rd day now, beyond irritated...

[raven atlas]

Think i’m going to install hello kitty garden. A lot more exiting than present state of stfc

[pulsar wharf]

Tell me more of this hello kitty garden.. do things go boom?

[raven atlas]

You might not be used to this: It actually works!

[pulsar wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/hold-on-wtf-surprised-pikachu-gif-19719769

[cosmic basin]

Game still not working just preparing loop 8hrs plus now

[lusty basin]

I’m glad I didn’t update the game client. It’s seems they took a lot of the bugs through to the new update as the game is actually running ok

[cosmic basin]

Cant even get to help and support just preparing any fixes out there i cleared cache not helped

[reef ginkgo]

What i am struggling to understand is, why not roll the update back? Its been more than 24 hours. They know what's wrong but havent a clue to fix it so they can't give an ETA. A good portion of the game population can't play the game, but they are going to stick with the update that allows only some players to play. That's legit.

[steel ridge]

The update should be rolled back until they solve for it, this is impacting a lot of users.

[pulsar wharf]

I tried to put a ticket in and guess what's got their own "preparing" issue lmao

[unreal gyro]

<@&509690795536941056>
This is situation is FRELLING BS! Fix ur Frakking GORRAM Game!!!

This is UNACCEPTABLE/Unplayable.

[torn python]

It’s been 24 hours that it’s been going on

[raven atlas]

Scopely hasnt any clue about their own coding, let alone how to fix it.

[cold sage]

Wow, they did finally fix Prime.exe on the PC version making a dump file every time you close the game. Good job! How many people's Crashdump folder is full of scopely dump files though??

PC users Check C:\users\ (your username) \appdata\local\crashdump

[hoary portal]

They are a bunch of Ferengi's trying to pilot a borg cube.

[haughty seal]

Hello, i see that you have te same problem as me... For the past... At least 8 hours after loging in and pressing anything the game freezes at "Preparing screen"

On android it had 12gb of data, after clearing data notning happed, 2 reistalls and still nothing. Tried on PC also didn't work then reinstalled there and it still didn't work.

The whole time I was chatting with my friend who was playing normally...

[ripe hemlock]

taking two steps back and then one step forward is still one step behind what we had in the past (just saying).

[ripe hemlock]

i was forced to update the game (on PC) and the first event after starting the game was an exception error and crash to desktop. what a quality patch made by wizards ^^

[ripe hemlock]

happy "scopely awareness" day everyone 🤭

[quasi field]

I'm aware but since I have more pressing issues in my life, I'm just happy the game is still live and can serve as a needed, and free, distraction. So, my thank you still stands.

[ripe hemlock]

there are other (working) games out there that can be fun while playing and might serve you the same wanted distraction from RL.

but my point stands: dont gratulate or thank somemone for doing a very bad job or you will unintentionally lower the bar for them in the future and they might have the feeling that what they do is the right thing.

[quasi field]

As much fun as it is having someone I don't know tell me how I should think, this is my departure point from this unsolicited conversation.

[scarlet schooner]

whats frustrating is there is no input from them on the site about the problem. until i joined this discord community i thought it was just me. it should be a big banner on their landing page "OOOOPs we screwed up and are too stubborn to roll back our flawed update" So go find other pastimes, develop other habits... maybe even go outside!

[raven atlas]

Exactly! Scopely structurally refuses to inform players ingame about serious bugs (or any bugs). Its insane a 3rd party app is needed to play this game properly.
But it is as expected; they dont have any communication skills. Almost as bad as their coding. And that says a lot

[glacial spruce]

You greatly overestimate Scopely. They're more like a bunch if Pakleds who don't even realize they're on a borg cube.

[real flume]

I like it. It's one more obstacle to me spending money on this broken addiction.

[azure pike]

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

[merry tiger]

FIX THE "HELP ALL" BUTTON ON THE HOMEPAGE!!

[pulsar echo]

Lag lag lag and more lag

[flint oriole]

As a note of general feedback, it would be helpful in the future to get better communication when something goes this wrong. When you design a game to be addictive, your customers are addicts. Sudden deprivation of an addiction is generally known to cause chaos among the addicted.

Unless, of course, the intent is to free us of our addiction, bit that seems bad for business

[wise vale]

<@&509690795536941056> Some on S703 have 2 hours left on shields, some have 26 hours.

What gives?

[finite mural]

those that see 2 hours need to restart

[umbral gull]

another 1 day full shield why

is this a joke

maybe more of us should spend another 10 thousand dollars on pixel ships to speed to get a game that works?

[haughty seal]

You spent 10k?!?!

[chrome elm]

i just had 2 miners in server deepspace instawarp back to base like miners in the veil should be doing but don’t without issues🤣i mean it worked to my advantage but that’s not how this is supposed to work

[knotty kayak]

This is a feature called InstaLagWarp... as intended. ^^ Works 2-3 times a day randomly... 😄

[haughty seal]

Well at least this isnt the only thing you see

[umbral gull]

10k is a joke if you think that's a lot for this game

[haughty seal]

Bruh i spent around 100e and i hate myself for it

[umbral gull]

Imagine the people who are in for over 100k

[haughty seal]

If i knew this game was soooooooo 💩

Even tho i love Star Trek as much as I can, I wouldn't play it

To make things better i didnt play properly for months and two days ago i started playing for real again... And now...well...

[sturdy aurora]

God damn waste of peace shields

Please every time you give a free peace shields, please make it pause players own peace shields. It's waste of it running both timers down.

[tropic crown]

<@&509690795536941056> hey just in case scope didn’t know it maintenance is supposed to make things better not worse!

[flint elm]

That is your complaint?

[sturdy aurora]

No feedback 😉

[tropic crown]

It’s a valid point but not the most important for sure.

[fast oak]

All of these shields is like playing flag football with usaine bolt.🤣

[sturdy aurora]

Maybe not for you, but might be for others!

[slow venture]

pretty sure some are over 100k. guy in my alliance does 500-1k daily. DAILY

[chrome vortex]

We've got one guy that's probably sold one of his houses. It doesn't matter. These are just pixels. I cannot believe scopely is showing that they care. But they can't display that 24-hour hostile limit that they've been tracking. I'm confused, transparency, caring. What image are they trying to put forth?.

[umbral gull]

Yeah the cost of g7 is insane nevermind g6

The game breaks and players discuss the state oof

[fluid mist]

thats a low amount compared to what some players have spent in this game and no I'm not lying I know of one on my server that has spent at least 50k and this was before ops80 came out.

[umbral gull]

Average of upper players is over 100k easily

[haughty seal]

Holy...

[umbral gull]

I'm probably in for 30

[haughty seal]

Might be time to take it easy and F2P

[umbral gull]

As I wish list games on steam that go on sale

[keen loom]

Dear Scopley: Despite months of promises to stabilize the game, slow content rollouts, and put thought behind your product, evidence continues to mount that you as the curator of this title have no intention of doing so. Explain to us “like we are 2 year olds” how the players should feel anything but apathy towards Scopley.

[umbral gull]

Don't worry house, you will get a comp chest

[fluid mist]

oh I know and don't get me wrong I value those guys because they allow me to play this ftp. At same time its those guys that keep scopley doing what they doing and not fixing stuff most of the time and only making content. I can't hold scopley fully responsible because its our own whales enabling it.

[keen loom]

I could give two craps about comp chests.

[haughty seal]

Well i am newly to the grownup scene been 18 for only a month... I spent 100e on STFC, probably more than 300e on steam, 100e on fortnite and 700e on OGame

[umbral gull]

I used to think black desert online was rough for their store but I take it back

[quaint lynx]

I love Elite Dangerous. 30$total for both the main game and the expansion. Ships are forever F2P after 2 months of being released. Check it out. On steam and Xbox, I think but no content updates on that platform

[umbral gull]

I played eve online since launch so elite felt worse to me

Still good game though

[quaint lynx]

I get that. I tried Eve before I got a controller. May try it again

[haughty seal]

Played eve for some time but loged in once in 3 months

[umbral gull]

I log in once every 3 months now yeah 😂

[quaint lynx]

The ED expansion.. Horizons introduced the ability to leave the ship for planetary exploration, dune buggies and ground combat

[umbral gull]

Reset my training for a Titan I will never fly

[fluid mist]

Only thing that matters is if you're happy with stfc and money you've spent if so great if not we'll then you gotta figure it out cause throwing more money at them ain't gonna fix it rofl.

[umbral gull]

If I was happy key word ! Lmao

Game is so broken on so many levels it's shocking

[fluid mist]

tbh I'm surprised it even runs much less works the way it does rofl

[quaint lynx]

Nope. Been F2P for over a year now. Not even a battle pass. They don't listen to us, so I spend the money elsewhere

[umbral gull]

Smart

[opal pike]

An exciting new TV series is in the works based on STFC user experience. It's called "Gold Shield Is The New Comp Chest"! Stay tuned for more details.

[quaint lynx]

I hope they can get back to a stable platform, but as long as they release new content without fixing the old I don't see how it can happen.

They're basically shoveling coal onto a fire

[fluid mist]

yeah I've been getting all the old console game i loved as a kid and young adult and just playing them all over again. Brings me more enjoyment than this game and I don't have to worry about ads for packs popping up everyday or logging into a website then my email then back to website then back to game just for an event

[umbral gull]

It's already an issue of claiming things for 2 hours

[quaint lynx]

None of my research timers are counting down. They are still where they were at last night when I logged off

[umbral gull]

But I have a gold shield to protect me while I do it

[haughty seal]

Since i started playing war chests have been a problem for me... I need to wait 1-3 minutes to open one

[idle basalt]

Forced reboot in the middle of a territory defense?

[quaint lynx]

Hope it was uncontested

[idle basalt]

Yes, thankfully, but still

[umbral gull]

Are we ever going to get the last 5 levels on the amalgam Ft? It already takes 7 straight hours to vault a base

[quaint lynx]

Well gonna go feed the horses. Back in about 2 hours. Try not to burn it all down without me

[fossil siren]

Yet another great evening ingame....lag.....bugs..... forced reboot....lag....bugs.....

[dawn shore]

This is a different one, what's the new content?

[fossil siren]

New bugs?

[stark heron]

I can get on the game

[quasi rose]

i want field rations, not shields. 🙂

[stark heron]

@storm nova I can't get on the game

[keen loom]

No more field rations. No more excuses. Just fix your product. All of it.

[limber mesa]

forced restarts should be announced, like maintenance.
it may not take long, but can ruin things like armadas, wave defences, outposts, and starbase assaults.

[tidal notch]

sent you a friend request.

[hasty bough]

after restart I can not get into game it hold on by 35%

[gray moon]

Got the same message about 20 minutes ago and now I'm locked out of the game.

Same here MerkurOne

[lunar ocean]

Given the recent track record, I'm expecting accounts reset to level 1 again.

[hasty bough]

On Pc all ok only android tablet hold on by 35%

[lunar ocean]

Even if they shut it down to fix everything it would just break again with the next patch anyway lol. I've given up hope.

Granted, I'm a nihilist.

[tidal notch]

Pinged you

[humble lotus]

So glad the road map for 2026 is on track 😂🤣😬

More like off the rails.

[odd prawn]

They said they were going to build on 2025 which was mess up after issue after mess up so they're doing a fantastic job

[fluid mist]

1k more exciting and new bug/glitches for you to discover. Feel free to explore the new content and let scopley know of these new problems so they can get started at fixing it so it gets fixed in about 5yrs(if games still around rofl)

[gilded tulip]

How is this still a thing? For Final Weapon Wednesday If you’re mid ops, and you only have uncommon directives it takes eight hours for one shard? Surely someone must have complained about it before. And you have to start them, and joining them doesn’t count?

[weary wolf]

I can’t login to the store using my password. That will save me about $500/month. I won’t use your email hack. Bring the password back

[quick gale]

What’s with the extended scanning time for systems now? See empty system and scanning… takes about 2 seconds to see a system… it never used to

[dawn shore]

Final Weapon SMS is a waste of time and directives for a 💩💩 reward. I only ever take part as a by product to another event that has realistic rewards for the outlay.

[gilded tulip]

It’s almost as if the developers have never played their game before…

This event needs to be rehauled

[rancid wagon]

The entire game needs to be overhauled. Every. Last. Line.

[humble furnace]

that depends on your ops perspective, for me the event takes like 5 seconds and costs practically nothing and is very rewarding.

[rancid wagon]

I would be embarrassed if I worked for Scopely.

[gilded tulip]

Is it too much to ask it being rewarding for mid ops players?

[dawn shore]

Everything needs to be overhauled. SMS/SLB Rewards need to reflect time/effort/costs to complete. Store packs need to be realigned to a realistic cost, said this many times before that they would increase revenue by lowering pricing. If all players had just £20 to spend a week/month then many more would more likely spend that if prices were a lot lower.

[humble furnace]

I don’t how much crystal you get at mid ops, but your going to be running normal armadas anyway so why not run them once a week once this event is running? And once you can source the xindi rare directives from s31 then the event is a breeze.

For G6+ players this event gives sigma trit any event that gives sigma is valuable especially as it costs nothing and takes zero time

[gilded tulip]

15 minutes/armada

Thats four armadas/hr

When I say eight hours I mean it

[humble furnace]

You don’t have the armada speed ups? Those 15 mins = 1m 30seconds

And those speeds are available to mid ops players from 30+

[gilded tulip]

Dude I barely have enough directives to do all of the armadas much less speed ups

And I do dailies

You must have remembered what this was like

It sucks, it’s not fun

[humble furnace]

When I was your ops we never had these events so we had it worse

[gilded tulip]

Ah

Makes sense

Trust me you’d hate it at this ops

[dawn shore]

Lower level rewards suck, for the same outlay. I'll stick to picking & chosing where I spend stuff on events to where it is worth it, which TBH isn't very often.

[humble furnace]

Looking at the main arc events and BPs feel bad for 20-50’s now. Would have been so much easier and better for you to have the old format (current format 51+) have

[signal anvil]

It would really be good if while your fixing the login issue that you don’t break it for those of us that can still get in the game. Only bringing it up because your track record of breaking more than you fix isn’t good. Tell’m to kick in the overtime too! Y’all wonder why a lot folks quit spending on this game.🤦🏻

[dawn shore]

Not so long ago events were a good source of things & therefore worth the effort. Now they have 'made it so' almost the only way to get anything is via the webstore.

[humble furnace]

They quit spending as impossible to login to store now 🤣, cannot use password anymore and the code is never sent to email

[gilded tulip]

I don’t mind grinding, and play grinding games, but this particular event is egregious. It’s like a job.

[serene dragon]

Main problem here is that there are so many things that need to be addressed but because they can't make money from fixing their errors they will never be fixed. Broken content will constantly be pushed out to make more £££££s and as long as players carry on spending this will continue.

[cyan isle]

I quit spending. Haven’t even bought the battle pass. Scopley will never understand how much money isn’t being spent. Until the bugs are addressed and fixed, and guys like me spend again. So broken content is absolutely hurting their revenue

[copper forum]

https://tenor.com/view/ughhh-gif-5591069990283055975

[carmine yew]

I always purchase the new content becasue I dont want to fall behind the curve, but I agree its got so bad now I rather not get the new content. They throw more and more content in the game becasue it makes money as people have to get it asap.
That means that all their effort goes into new content instead of fixing the game
and with the current state of the game I don't trust the future of the game

They just don't seem to care and if they don't care about the game everything i spend on the game is the equivalent of me setting the notes on fire.
Even Connor in that 2026 roadmap video, i've never seen anyone less bothered or enthusiastic. He might have well been saying STFC will be closing down at the end of this year but we are going to milk as much money out of you as we can

[river spindle]

Like it or not, but the current state of the game is a simple reflection of what quality of the game the paying part of the playerbase is willing to accept without impacting $pend.

[tulip light]

And like clockwork game dropped an slb that wasn’t on calendar for a limited currency that people probably spent when they heard CotA was gone. Glad i archived or I probably would have requested account deletion

[tulip light]

It’s bad when the only thing left to look forward to was a compensation chest

[fervent oriole]

happily playing again

[vivid knoll]

Any reason why maverick research nodes with prime sourcing are not labeled as primes?

[wet chasm]

@carmine yew yeah, but, the compensation chests have been crappy

[glacial spruce]

In all honesty, what hasn't been crappy lately?

[pale garnet]

removing the option to log in to the website via password, does not make it a safer log in, this is just another lie, using a passcode does not make the log in more secure, yet just another lie, if hackers want in to your website, they will get in , they always have , they always will, you did not create d.o.s. you cannot remove d.o.s from the creation of computer language, it will always be there and IT will always be used to hack every system that thin ks they are above hackers, return the password way to access the site, any safety failings are on the website makers side, not the users, we are not ignorant uneducated people here, we want the password method back, we demand the password method returned, it is not weaker than your lying decieving other ways, it is cdecades old and has never been the way to hack anything, only d.o.s has

[umbral trench]

@mod. HELP. I want to connect my game to scopely store to get free mission keys. Not very tech savvy and dont want to mess anything up. Any help would be appreciated.

[knotty geyser]

after the recent maintenance, i can log in, and the first thing i see is my station, but if i click on anything else, my screen goes to the black logo screen and on the bottom lower right it says "preparing" forever, is my game kaput?

[full gate]

It's a known issue. I would still start a ticket.

[full gate]

Go to the Game website here - https://home.startrekfleetcommand.com/store Login. Go to "Web Gift" and claim the mission key daily.

[crimson lotus]

I can't log in, i dont receive the key, and i no longer have the option to use password

[violet estuary]

You can log in with the code which is sent to your e-mail address.

[pale garnet]

well, the exo - 50% iso damage for 7 days, is a complete farce, as does absolutely nothing see-able v's any hostiles in the game, no icrease in kils, no easier kills, nothing at all, you need to stop adding these pharsical items to the game when they have no vale at all , totaly pathetic

[keen loom]

https://tenor.com/view/radio-silence-hush-shh-be-quiet-bricky-gif-17190928

[wind prism]

Please scopley seek outside professional skilled help. The level of ignorance your team display is mind blowing

[finite mural]

exos are of base, depending on your bonuses already it won't make much difference.

also 50% iso damage is not a lot to begin with

[keen loom]

Pretty sure that was the point.

[cyan isle]

It’s why no one uses exo. They don’t make a difference. Games full of content completely ignored

[keen loom]

But that bloat catches the uneducated So it has value for Scopley.

[somber orchid]

So having the excelsior to get to that part of the track seems now a waste

[stark trellis]

for the login/preparing problems of the last 2 days; everything is solved? will we have any compensations?

[rare vale]

I love it when a mod inadvertently confirms how awful some of the game design is. Many of the bonuses in this game are a sham.

[serene dragon]

I thought the loss of the extended zoom was fixed?? It's not working again, so have to zoom out every time I go to another in-game screen or restart the game every time it happens.

[signal raft]

I'm not sure anything in STFC has ever been fixed and stayed fixed because eventually it all gets broken by future slop

[chrome vortex]

I knew when I saw it it didn't provide any value. I know everything is based off of Base unless it's specifically states that it stacks. Which really begs the question why except for somebody in very low ops. Like maybe in the '30s?

[frozen pebble]

Habt ihr Lack gesoffen scope? Auf der Webseite anmelden nur noch mit email? 🤢🤮🤑

[kind vale]

That's been removed for most players

[pearl ocean]

😒 that is rude and horrible

[kind vale]

I won't be logging into the webstore anymore and if I ever need to login to the game again it will be time to quit. This isn't adding true security, it's shifting liability.

[opaque raft]

All recent fails, bugs and issues have lead to several big players in my alliance leaving the game. They are totally fed up with the continuing incompetence

[flint plume]

<@&509690795536941056> Are there going to be any events that give ferengi or other event store currency that are accessible to f2p?
With CotA gone, it’s just the ferengi battlepass. Which will give 90,000 currency, enough for a whopping 15 officer shards. Basically, a tiny little pittance.
When i started playing 2 years ago event stores were great and actually helped me advance and felt rewarding. Now, they are an insultingly small sop of appeasement. Does scopely want people to enjoy this game?
Please pass along the message that making things harder and harder, the rewards smaller and smaller, the game buggier and more bloated, does not actually encourage people to spend. It encourages people to leave.

[frozen pebble]

There isn’t a option for password! But there was !! Scope 💩 at his best! I don’t log in with emails ….. every 24h log with mail 👎

[cinder shadow]

this is becoming standard in all website services... if u dont have access to ur email, u should contact customer support and ask guidance to change the email linked to ur scopely ID

[frozen pebble]

I will linked in with password! I don’t like emails from a game to my mail account permanently! So I don’t use webservices in the future! End of transmission

Sorry , but that is a no go from scope!

[modern robin]

Enemies are disappearing. 133

[inland shoal]

The password thing..."For our safety" we have to go through the whole thing twice every two days for a single claim. But if we go to spend- "right this way, super easy and convenient!"

[frozen pebble]

For our safеty! Block all scope ……. Things!!

Some Virus Scanner send a virus alert on pc if u use s scope on it! 🤣😂

[ripe hemlock]

The password thing..."For our safety"
This is a straight up lie to every player and customer.
With a sucessful phishing attack to our email account we loose the access to our scopely accounts and the attacker can abuse our payment data given to Scopely.

And its easier to break in an email account than guessing the pasword of an gamer account (if the password is chosen safely).

[frozen pebble]

123456789 a good password? 😂🤣

Maybe I changed to 987654321 😁

[ripe hemlock]

better than a 6-digits code to be fair

[frozen pebble]

😂🤣🍺🍺

[opaque raft]

The amount of issues atm is huge. Only a few are acknoledged. Most are being ignored.
<@&509690795536941056> : why?

[finite mural]

what is being ignored?

[opaque raft]

Scopely deliberately, consistently and frequently lies to the community.

[cinder shadow]

just create a new email to link to the game... thats what I did

[opaque raft]

See bugs chat.
Acknowledging means mentioning it in the known issues chat

[finite mural]

again, what is being ignored?

[ripe hemlock]

I agree on that.

The last week of reading every channel here under FEEDBACK & SUPPORT shows that new players arrive here and report bugs and issues in the right place over and over again that were well known to Scopely.

If there would have been Announcements for all the critical and game breaking bugs then those redundant bug reports would most likely not have happened.

[somber orchid]

I’d say you 😝

[ripe hemlock]

What does it take to announce a reported critical bug in #🛠-known-issues ?
How many people does it need to report the same bug over and over again?

[violet estuary]

Often, when I read the improvements/bug fixes in the monthy survey I either still experience them or they never happened to my account.

But the bugs I encounter they remain.

tbf, most are being acknowledged, mentioned etc. but there is no fix.

[opaque raft]

When not in the known issues channel, the issue apparently is not known.
You cannot expect everyone to regularly scan the bugs channel on possible new already reported issues.
Ppl are waisting lots of time to figure out what is going on due to lack of proper communication.

[ripe hemlock]

i disagree here.

most of the new arising bugs since relase of last arc were not mentioned or it took days and endless reports until they got mentioned with no ETA and after they tried to fix them they often made it only worse.

[fickle herald]

https://tenor.com/view/austinpowers-dr-evil-gif-13732457541077002729 Good Work lately 👍

[violet estuary]

Sure, some things got worse after a patch/fix.

But then the know issues channel is not really organised (discord is not a great platform for this).

[fickle herald]

Nothing here ingame or somewhere else seems organised properly

[opaque raft]

That might be so, but as ingame ‘support’ is mostly useless, this is were ppl go.
Proper bug management and communication is hugely wanted

[violet estuary]

I don't report bugs to support. That is way to complicated...

[fickle herald]

The Feedback Managmet is not excisting. We just want Infos but Scopely isnt able to provide any Infos or they just dont want too. Especially for long Term bugs or what they are working at .

[opaque raft]

That says enough

[fickle herald]

There is absolutely no Transparancy in anything

[ripe hemlock]

Absolutely.

• The whole support system is mostly automated (bot) and made to drive customers away, make them give up in the process.
• We are customers, not paid beta testers
• After we report bugs there is either:
  a) no reaction
  b) (human) support does not understand the problem because has zero knowledge of the game
  c) "we know but no ETA or solution" <= acknowledging at least there is a problem but then no further help
  d) gives a joke of a compensation, then closes the ticket
  e) we have not heard back so we close the ticket now (never initiated the contact to the customer before)

the whole support system is only stealing time of the player and raises the frustration even further = mostly useless

[violet estuary]

And that is exactly why I don't write to support unless it's something super easy to be resolved.

[hollow sorrel]

<@&509690795536941056> @tidal notch Hello! I have an alliance member who is not on Discord, so I'm reaching out on their behalf to get some help.

They have not built their first Stella yet, but has advanced the reputation enough so now at the current rank they cannot redeem credits for the Stella BP's.

They opened a support ticket (I have the ticket # and their player ID to provide), which was promptly closed by Johannes after saying "Their records indicated they built the Stella already".

They have not built their first Stella yet, and the support ticket did nothing to help. They are now stuck in limbo for the Eclipse hostile loop.

Please help and advise? 🙏

[finite mural]

dm me the ticket number

[grizzled topaz]

3 hours left better prepare a new round of 24 hour shields guys ,,,

[hollow sorrel]

Message sent, but it said I had to be a friend. Friend invite also sent.

[frank pendant]

Call this the heroic SMS, SLB and ALB arc. Why keep playing at this point.

[frail tangle]

The website login is not working.

[shut lodge]

not an actual solution, but there are stella bps in the frengi store rn, could just get their first one there if scops won't help

[ripe hemlock]

Scopely knows this since multiple days already but refused to help (so far).

[torpid cargo]

Couldn't find the forgotten issues page, but wanted to remind Scopley that the GS31 laser beams take way to long to fire....

[amber lava]

After filling out the STFC Survey I forgot to mention the discord community MODs. I'm sorry, but you all do a lot and take the brunt of a lot of people's anger. You don't deserve it. I appreciate you all a lot and commend you for all you do for us. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thank you <@&509690795536941056> and everyone who helps run this place and deals with all of us. LLAP 💖

[dry lark]

<@&509690795536941056> any updates on when login will be resolved? Get past loading splash screen to star trek fleet command black screen and the eternal spinning wheel of adjusting.

[median sky]

support closed my ticket saying login issues were resolved. i still cant login. so i guess in their eyes, its fixed.

[zinc flower]

Remember a time when the game worked? I’ve been trying to set a survey ship for 40 minutes. Now, I can’t even log in

[flint oriole]

I think there are probably a lot of crossover skills between being a community manager and running a methadone clinic

[amber lava]

Customer service, hospitality, even some charity work has its tough days. I know from experience. Nothing like getting people mad at you or directing their anger towards you for something that isn't directly your fault. But you take it to a degree because you're here to help and be of service. When it becomes abusive and lines are crossed it becomes unwanted bullying.

[true dragon]

So, I put up a 8 hour shield to stay shielded when the gold shield dropped. Guess what happened next. Both shields dropped and I took hits.

Not good... I can get back the RSS easy enough but that shouldn't happen.

[wet chasm]

Can't log in

Just throw up a permanent shield for everyone at this point.

Ridiculous

[fair phoenix]

Here be the ads again..,.
This time I disagree with plankton, let the flame die out !!

[void timber]

I m done with mission keys in webshop. Since today no access with passwords. Instead flooding my inbox with code mails. Seriously? Next step to delete the game. Sometimes the game reminds to a social experiment... how much you will suffer to play an unnecessary game and time waste. Bring the password access back.. or I leave. At the end of day, less customers in the webshop, less business 👀

[fluid mist]

kinda funny how the announcement said until 6pm today yet issue isn't solved gold shield is down and ppl still having issues yet no further update in announcements since yesterday at 3.44pm great job at being prompt scopley

This will prevent a lot of people from using the website & create more frustration. Good way to make people say it’s not worth it. Wonder what STFC players average age is? Likely not the age of yet another new digital hoop to work through.

[crystal furnace]

May see a drop in pack buying

[modern sigil]

And mission keys!!! 😂

[hollow vault]

Hey guys i want to buy a specialty ship for ops 40 and I'm stuck between monaveen and protector. Tips and advice please

[wet chasm]

Don't buy. You can get them free thru event rewards

[solemn rover]

I am a player that is primarily ftp, but would spend more if I had more money to do so. As such, I would like to preface this with the disclaimer that I would not choose a ship as my spending pick, at least at this level, so this is more my thought process behind which ships I prioritized getting.

I recommend looking at sourcing for each of the ones you are considering. If one of them has multiple sources of blueprints but the other has one or none, I would lean towards the one you can’t get as easily. I got both of those without spending, even though it took a while. I prioritized the NSEA Protector when I hit g4 because at the time I got it, it was available through the Sarris Invasions store. Right now, I think it is available through the Ferengi battlepass store and the transogen loop efficiencies in the refinery. I think it was 4-5 months into my g4 progression that I finally got the Monaveen because I sourced it primarily through the territory store.I can’t remember where else those are found, but I must have found another way of getting the Monaveen BPs.

The other thing I would recommend considering is how each of those ships will improve your play experience. They both unlock stuff in the refinery and research. If you research those, it may help you to choose as well.

[cyan isle]

This is a common glitch. I break the gold shield immediately. And apply my own shields. They have ignored this glitch for years.

[fluid mist]

neither of those 2 ships is game breaking if you were to buy them. They both have sourcing in the ferengi store and others areas like refinery loops. I recommend grinding it out as they will both take a very long time to max why for out the money just to unlock the ship. I didn't buy either back when they came out I grinded for them but ultimately do what is best for you.

[prime seal]

I HATE CODE EMAILS!!!! SO ANNOYING

[haughty umbra]

When you going to fix the vger reset. Daily says gorn. Hurak hostiles in system.... this is simple 💩

[bitter folio]

Game is down, again. Server 51

[chrome elm]

i think it’s disingenuous that 7* space is the first space that hostiles drop zero ship bps of any kind

[earnest storm]

Just to add to this comment. I recently received a 1 day ban for having 2 accounts on the same server. These reports came from players who have multiple accounts on the same server but want to use the reporting system maliciously.

When contacting Scopely to discuss this I was told that my ban was permanent and would not be discussed. My account isn't banned permanently but I hesitate to even bring it up in case they decide to.

I don't contest the ban. I just find it surprising because in my experience of reporting ToS violations to customer service they have done everything possible to avoid investigating it. I understand from a business aspect you want to keep paying players so I just assumed no one got ToS violations outside of using cheats which also were prevalent and unpunished on my server for a while.

[abstract ivy]

Just ask them to buy from event store. Like the Ferengi event that comes quite often. I never bought my 1st Stella through the loop. Way too time consuming. Just simply, arc event stores.

[mossy sparrow]

Wow this game it so great that even a solo wave can't be shown properly.

[fast anvil]

yay more feedback 😄

[flat sky]

On 109 there are a ton of german bot users that never gets banned. But when they mass reported a player for temporary lending his account pvp-ing against said bot users Scopely shut down that account. It had a lot of spending on it..

[serene dragon]

Finally unable to use my password to acces the Web-Store. That's yet another to the growing list who will not be going there again, unless you re-instate the password option. 💩💩💩💩💩💩

[waxen patio]

I have some positive feedback for once🥳:

• less ships is nice (I know there will probably be a new one in part 2, but that’s a pace I can understand).
• veng sourcing additions with the maverick building and faction store stuff is great.
• conq Borg armadas are a nice new challenge (was hoping for another armada where you have to think).
• having the conq borg armada events be completable with any level was a good choice for people with less developed ships.
• the maverick grind ams tasks are well tuned if they’re not meant to be completed by big alliances without extra effort.

Sadly there is also some negative stuff 😔:

• removing cota was one of the worst decisions I’ve seen in a while. Spenders and non spenders liked it a lot and it was the only source of extra ferengi store currency that’s now missing, making the ferengi store even less useful than before.
• the building takes too long to get to the part where you actually unlock the faction. I remember that things like the recon locus had a quick start to the important bits and then slowed down, which is a better mechanic imo.
• outposts still not paying out more plunder feels a bit sad, they’re pretty old by now and should be more useful.
• the officers feel useless unless high tier, which is pretty impossible without cota.

[quick gale]

Thank you scopely, another member leaving due to the quality and constant hammering of new arcs.

[neat pier]

Attacks from beam weapons (Borg cube and GS-31) should trigger attack notifications the same as any other attack. someone can sit and hit your ships with no notifications being pushed and you log into all destroyed ships.

[fallen spear]

It's a pathetic company 🤷🏼‍♂️

[crimson surge]

Can't find the Khanquest Battle Pass in the store? Does it now get removed if you don't buy it within a certain number of days from when it is offered?

[opaque raft]

Better not buy it. Its way to expensive for the meagre rewards

[zenith spade]

Bring back password login to the website.

[fluid mist]

yep announcement was only made on the 11th at 344pm and peace shields until Thursday at 6pm where in there own message they said they would be working on a fix and get back to us but yet look it's Friday no announcement and almost 14hrs since no peace shields was given and I know of 15 ppl in my own server that haven't been able to log in since Tuesday and these aren't small accounts either but yea we can't evennhold scopley accountable because they don't actually interact with us just the people they put in charge which unfortunately can't always be here 24/7

[raven atlas]

Any news on fixing the zoom issue? <@&509690795536941056>
Pls dont tell me its still being discussed. There isnt much to discuss

Any news on compensation for not being able to play for two full days?

[fallen spear]

No news 🤷🏼‍♂️

Radio silence.

[raven atlas]

Seems scopely has stopped completely with communicating.
Apparently its total chaos there

[fallen spear]

7+ years already considering, that not a single maintenance has been done without more or less significant issues afterwards.

Exactly. And they persistingly do not listen to players suggestions and complaints.

same here: no code via email ever arrives
tl;dr i am locked out of my scopely account and we are getting no support

[chrome elm]

no updates on when the issues with this latest “stabilizing update” will be fixed… no mention of compensation for a 5 day dumpster fire… but the spend events seem to keep rolling out fine… the number of players quitting the game seems to have no impact on the decision making here… seriously, who’s running this circus?

[chrome elm]

it was more of a criticism than a question but ok🤣

[peak scarab]

It would be really great to be informed before the game downloads a lot of data. Some players, like me, use mobile devices and mobile data. Or will a flat rate now be the minimum requirement?

[severe osprey]

Why I dont get any one and five minute speed up, only 15min?

Why I must use code to login the STFC almost every day but not password?

@tidal notch
Ich finde es sehr schade das das Aszendent Event und der Tresor aus dem Programm genommen wurden . Es ist wieder eine Entscheidung von scopely die dazu führen wird das noch mehr spieler diesem Spiel den Rücken kehren werden.
Das Aszendent Event und der Tresor waren mal was einigermaßen positives für Leute die nicht über die Möglichkeiten verfügen jede Woche hunderte von Euros hier zu investieren um an ein paar extra Sachen zu gelangen.
" Ich bitte 🙏 darum diese Entscheidung noch mal zu überdenken. Diese Spiel lebt nicht nur von den Spieler mit Platin Kreditkarten sonder von der Gesamtheit der Spieler auf jeden Server in jedem Land "
Und ein weiterer Punkt den ich hier noch los werden möchte ist das mit den Orianer .
Da kauft man sich für 100 Euro die Excelsior damit man 7 von 8 Meilenstein machen kann . Und was macht scopely ? !
Baut mal eben eine neue Feind Sorte ein die sie Orianer nennt und die man nur unter erschwerten Bedingungen oder wie bei mir überhaupt nicht killen kann . Das ist inakzeptabel ☝️.
Dafür habe ich keine 100 Euro bezahlt das man mich so austrixt !!!

<@&509690795536941056> Can Scopely please add regular Cosmic particles to the Ferangi event store? And maybe add them back to the Pinnacle of Power events?

I'm not sure why they stop at ops 65. Especially if Scopley wants us to progress, why remove a source of something needed to complete our research so we can actually be stronger at our ops?

[mellow fern]

<@&509690795536941056> this is how you think of Support? No help of support you need all time Minutes to open an ticket and than it is closed becuase the Person need to Work and Earn money to buy sometime something in the Store? 11:55 AM ....

I was the 4th time i opend a ticket and 0 help!

[fallen spear]

Their support has always (or let's say in most cases) been rather useless 🤷🏼‍♂️

[raven atlas]

They tend to insult us this way for quite a while now

[signal raft]

who would have thought an entirely brainless change to how people log into the game would not work properly. You barely single factor securtiy isn't even bothering to send emails and when it does they're likely being bounced as spam by the mail server

[frigid geode]

What is PAC? Never heard of it

[signal raft]

I think it was a small group of players that got also entirely ignored by Scopely or were all whales and didn't care if the game was going down the toilet

[umbral gull]

Scopely ignoring? Unheard of

[frigid geode]

Why is it necessary to keep information from all the players? Maybe that's where it all starts.

they seem pretty angry about the PAC peeps, maybe one went free to play?

[slow perch]

@tidal notch Where is the Comp for black screen of preparing..? I lost 2 days dailies. May not be able to finish the Battle passes..or do I need to create a ticket for this?

[rare vale]

@tidal notch just a suggestion for the PACs future itteration. Maybe not limit it to high spending players. Need a mix of all levels of players, both in game level and financial level.

[fluid mist]

Sooooo we get an announcement about pac which I'm sure 99% of the customer base has literally no idea about which means you should have messaged the people involved rather than ping whole community just saying. Yet no announcement about the issue still at hand with game connection or game kicked out or or game constant freezing but the pac announcement is top priority I see. Got it this speaks volumes scopley and I know y'all brighter than that woulda been better to have radio silence continue than this announcement.

[raven atlas]

Ticket doesnt help. You get a bad ai respons and the ticket is closed immediatly

[faint gate]

@tidal notch Scopely really needs to better understand how PAC’s and other councils are beneficial to development efforts. The things in PAC shouldn’t be future stuff that’s been committed to. It’s a way to test and learn concepts and ideas, things that haven’t been committed to, and gain invaluable feedback. If players talk about this outside of PAC, that’s not a bad thing. It helps to evangelize how Scopely is thinking about the future of the game. Also PAC’s aren’t to test the feasibility of new cost models or projected revenue by indicating things would be available via packs or in-game, etc. That’s the job of your product managers. You’re doing it wrong is my tl;dr

[weary elm]

I've gotten help by emailing Scopely support at [e-mail] include your player ID. @slow perch

[raven atlas]

What kind of help did you get?

[wet chasm]

Everyday is a new laugh with scopley

[storm oracle]

What the hell was PAC? 🤣

[tidal notch]

I agree with this. I want to see a healthy mix of ops levels.

[fluid mist]

was an elite group that discuss things about future content and or revenue possibilities it seems or at least thats how its coming across

[raven atlas]

Why would anyone help scopely to jncrease their revenues?

[fluid mist]

I refuse to give an honest answer on that due to I know it wouldn't be good for me.

[weary elm]

Return of directives or currency. Ive submitted a lot and have normally gotten some help if I had screen shots. Only on a few occasions, like when I lost access to a hail frequency I'd unlocked did they NOT help me. But I had no proof I'd unlocked it. I didnt know I'd lose access to it either. I'm a little salty about that one, BUT otherwise, Ive gotten help via email. The tribble helpbot isn't helpful at all

[opaque raft]

So you had proof but they didnt act upon that?
Sounds like typically scopely to me.

[weary elm]

Only when I had proof did they help me. I had no proof I'd unlocked the salt Shaker HF and I didn't notice when I lost access to it. So they didn't help with that one.

[haughty sail]

Maybe you can spend some money and effort on your servers rather than your old boys club, the game has been running like trash for the past few days since your mid month patch. Everything is way more laggy than it has any reason to be ,resetting nodes, even things like just loading systems or loading the attack window. Makes the game frustrating to play so why should we bother as clearly neither do you

[weary elm]

They need to comp the players that couldn't log on with all the rewards and points they missed while they couldn't login.

[broken shale]

It’s pretty ridiculous that you dissolve PAC due to lack of trust. We’ve been forced to accept every lie told about lag, stability, quality, and so many other things.

Where are the results of the promises y’all have made?

[grave quest]

@tidal notch regarding PAC, you bring up trust from the perspective of scopely -> members… what about trust from players -> scopely which has (from my observations) fell close to rock bottom? Let’s face it, scopely doesn’t give to popsicle sticks what feedback players have. they care only about €€ and getting packs sold. rest is worth less than the mold on the back of a dead rat in the gutter.

[viscid gorge]

So, without COTA, are there going to be any other events that given ferengi store currency? Or have they finally killed the event store entirely?

[finite mural]

not at this time

but it has been raised

[zinc terrace]

@tidal notch I know this isn’t your decision and you’re only the messenger here. Something like this that touches such a nerve with the community, there really should have been an announced replacement along with the dissolution of the existing council.

On a personal note, I’ve provided a lot of constructive feedback in a sea of negativity. I wish more people did that instead of jumping to doom and gloom. I only wish some of that feedback was implemented. Some topics that come to mine are flashpoints and that event series that rewarded points based on crew tiers used.

[viscid gorge]

Fantastic. No more event store for f2p 🙁

[gilded escarp]

You assume they care about the f2p people

[valid grove]

It‘s kinda rich how Scopely sends messages about trust and „broken trust“, while being the company who literally sells trust for 99.99 a pack.

Jokes aside, having a PAC just so you can say you have a PAC or explore better ways to sell even more and better is as good as having none from the player‘s perspective, and there has been literally no evidence that lets the average player come to any other conclusion than this being the case.
Either Scopely should actually care about the feedback, or just leave it be and be honest about not caring.
Them just saying „we care“ often enough doesnt change the fact that the summary of Scopely‘s actions tell a very different story.

[grave quest]

they don’t even really truly care about those in the vip server 😂

[signal anvil]

They need to comp everyone at this point but those that have been locked out should have special consideration. We’ve put pvp on hold for the most part. We don’t want to take advantage of those who can’t access the game. Lag is even worse and after no update or extension of the gold shield alls we get is they’re dissolving the current PAC. 🤦🏻

[woeful nymph]

<@&509690795536941056> PAC was full of trusted community members who got consistent feedback from the playerbase. This abrupt shutdown has degraded player trust in those that run this game even further. Whoever is making the decisions doesn't seem to want to hear the truth, and I will be shocked if the game does not take a complete nose dive after this and that player spending hits the basement and player count start to hemorrhage even more.

At least now when trash content rolls out we can completely blame Scopely. This was a grave error on your part and your income over the next few months will go into the toilet as a result. You don't cut your only external feedback without having something to replace it with. Trust has been lost.

[thorn nexus]

@woeful nymph It literally says they are bringing it back refreshed. If members have abused trust with devs, it isnt the devs fault. Take a chill pill man

[tidal notch]

Yeah, you might have missed the part where we said we're bringing it back with community involvement. I even put it in bold:

That looks really small...

[frigid geode]

For that to happen, 99% of the players would first have to be aware of it and know where else they could post criticism. As it stands, it’s a “useless board.”

[glacial spruce]

Perhaps if Scopely hadn't tossed trust in a funeral pyre, it wouldn't have been an issue.

[tidal notch]

I get that perspective. But the plan right now is to rebuild with community involvement, which to me sounds good.

[tepid bramble]

Doesn’t matter, by your own statement (that a player breached the NDA) throwing out your “Caesar thou art mortal” because of a whistleblower just reenforces player distrust.

But keep up the gaslighting.

Your bottom line is most definitely being hit, and will further be hit.

Folks are getting fed up with the bs.

(And I am using the “royal you” as in Scoply, hammy is unfortunately the barer, not the stater of the word.

[glacial spruce]

I hope so. But you can only say this so many times before it becomes meaningless. For a lot of folks, we've crossed that line some time ago.

Just to be clear, I think you're a good dude Hammy. But you are also constrained by your employer as to what you can say. I certainly don't envy you.

[ripe hemlock]

Scopelys commitment in what they promoted and promised is well known in the STFC community.

[remote flume]

Faction store.

1. Where are the bulk claims? Bonus question: why isn’t there one “claim all” button?

2. Why does it lag so hard? This slows things down a lot.

3. Why does it kick me to a blank screen 5-10x every day? Whenever that happens, I have to reboot the whole game.

[woeful nymph]

With respect, we've heard that song and dance since launch. It's literally like we're stuck in "Cause and Effect." the previous iteration of PAC got so frustrated with the advice that was ignored, no wonder there were leaks. Has Scopely thought that perhaps the real issue is that new content is treated like Nuclear Launch codes and that the silo'd development with lack of meaningful player feedback being implemented and inter-departmental communication is the actual reason we're stuck in the loop?

[candid wave]

Dauntless ability still breaks often. Is there an ETA for the fix?

[tidal notch]

This kinda reads like you don't think we should bother with a PAC rebuild at all. I don't agree with that at all. I think there should always be a PAC.

[glacial spruce]

It will be fixed on February 32nd, 1987 (the next time that rolls around)

[brisk ibex]

As a 3rd party read it as “If they aren’t going to listen to the feedback from the PAC why go through the motions”

[torn oxide]

Does anyone know how to put commanders that are gold locked on ships to other ships

[tidal notch]

We actually did listen to PAC feedback and implement changes. But what we should have done is let players know more about the influence the PAC had on arcs. That's something that we'll need to do much better in the next incarnation.

[tepid bramble]

You having the PAC is a farce. So no, “I” don’t think you should waste anyone’s time.

Scoply has PROVEN tha it doesn’t listen.

The PAC is just a way for Scoply to “say” they are listening.

It is beyond insulting.

[woeful nymph]

If you're going to continue to ignore the people that continue tell what not to do and what not to launch then it's pointless. If you don't loop people in till a feature is past the point of no return, it's useless feedback. The fact that content keeps missing sends the message that there is a disconnect with your audience. The fact we know financials are also down also illustrates this.

[brisk ibex]

Fair, communication hasn’t been one of Scopley’s strengths, what’s disappointing is after years of this they don’t seem to be improving it, and you all are left trying to plug leaks in a sinking ship that’s also on fire.

”edit:”
To be clear it was a round about way of saying the CM’s are trying, and it’s not your fault, those of us who have been around know it and thanks for what you do, even if your handcuffed and blindfolded by the people who hired you

[fluid mist]

this is normally when in my own alliance chat someone would say thats what she said but all I'll say is well you did say it

[ripe hemlock]

Can you please list at least 3 major improvments you implemented in the game that came from PAC?

[signal anvil]

I saw but given the state of the game and lack of updates from Scopely there is no reason to believe it will be back. It doesn’t appear to have helped given where we stand today.

[viscid gorge]

Yeah, what people are asking themselves about the PAC now is whether they were 1) preventing/trying to prevent Scopely from putting out even worse nonsense or 2) the source of some of the nonsense

[mild steppe]

Lllllaaaaaaaaggggggg on 42

[weary elm]

I didn't even know about the PAC and I don't recall anyone from the PAC ever asking for feedback from my team or server-mates. IF Scopely had been listening to the PAC and the PAC had anything to do with the current state of the game and these trash events, then I'm glad the current PAC has ended.

Scpoely needs to listen to the feedback WE THE PLAYERS give them. More and more people are taking "breaks," or quitting, or just cant even log on to the game. If your product isn't meeting customer expectations, wants, needs, etc, your sales will drop. The game isn't fun anymore.

[ripe hemlock]

The game isn't fun anymore.

[tepid bramble]

That didn’t involve monetizing a player idea that then somehow bones us 🤨

[fluid mist]

I agree with this @tidal notch There's many of us that have given you a well done when its deserved and worth noting. The problem is as you yourself has said hammy there needs to be less of a disconnect between scopley and playerbase now that can mean the pac is more involved or scopley gives clearer information on upcoming content. For example instead of saying g5 scrapping is still being discussed maybe an actual timeline for when it might get released as we're already in g7 land what we gonna wait for g8 or g9 to come out before g5 scrap becomes reality. Joking aside @tidal notch clear communication is better than radio silence. Right now the sentiment of community is there's too much radio silence or distractions of something else before updates on previous issue's (Tuesday's glitches compared to now Friday's pac announcement)

[balmy shadow]

You shouldn't, if its being closed because of a leak, and PAC wasn't fully transparent (read only) then there was something to hide.

[woeful nymph]

There were several members of the content creator community who were part of the PAC who had multiple instances with taking community feedback to Scopely which included multiple alliances across a number of server.

[brisk ibex]

@tidal notch as a side note, the post about the PAC, with the lack of communication about its positive effects and maybe some notes on how it will be improved was likely received worse by community because..

1. There was a huge chunk of the player base who couldn’t log in for days, and some players are still affected.

2. “Stability and Graphics” improvements defaulted a massive number of players to low quality graphics and removed the extended zoom, which makes the game almost unplayable on some devices (seriously this is a problem).

3. Scopley removed the CoA event, which had mixed reviews at launch but players really started to enjoy, provided real motivation and rewards for growth, and its removal feels, well bad.

4. the countless unresolved issues..

[wise vale]

So the PAC wasnt about the players, necessarily, but was also about the leeches who make a buck out of explaining bad coding

[woeful nymph]

Not all PAC members were contenct creators. also, not all content creators are streamers. A bunch were those that do work already for the community with developing charts and tools and gained no benefit at all from it monentarily

[glacial spruce]

What really needs to happen and be communicated is that Scopely will assign a team to rewrite the base code to eliminate the long standing issues and implement the new code in chunks as its ready. I've worked for several software companies with code base in the millions of lines of code who have done this.

All we have gotten is statements claiming "we hear you and will fix it" only to have everything get worse with each passing update. Sure, occasionally there's 2 steps forward. But only after 5 steps back. Then the next release is another 5 steps back. It's very short sighted.

[tidal notch]

I appreciate this reply and agree. I'll also see if we can get an update about g5 scrapping....

[grave quest]

“They’re bringing it back”, sounds a lot like “G5 scrapping is coming” and “this year it’s quality over quantity” …. how’s that gone so far?

[ripe hemlock]

Did you quote the wrong guy?

[woeful nymph]

I hope you folks are also working on G6 scrapping at the same time. That would be both efficient and necessary sicne you're already working on that section of code.

[tidal notch]

G5 scrapping is still coming!

[brisk ibex]

Ironically I know a couple online games that only really fixed issue when the community decoded the source code and literally spoon Fed fixes (Example, Fallout76)

[elder hornet]

So has a fix for the Franklin A archives problem been fixed at all?

[finite mural]

you need to open a support ticket if there's an issue with your archive

[glacial spruce]

Is it 2024 again? I'm pretty sure I've heard this before. 😋

[tidal notch]

Now this is a very good question. Lemme talk to the arc runners and see what I can get.

[finite mural]

g5 scrapping is targeted at next month, if they miss the mark, then you can get pitchforky, i'll provide the supplies.

[elder hornet]

Did that got a generic answer from them and they closed the ticket

[finite mural]

do you have the ticket number still?

[ripe hemlock]

So you experienced the same outcome as th other players who have bugged archives and opened a ticket?

[glacial spruce]

How many times have we heard this now? I've lost count.

[tidal notch]

I don't think you can officially start complaining about G6 scrapping until G5 scrapping is out. I don't make the rules.

[brisk ibex]

I’ve got a guy in my alliance with the same issue, support keeps closing the tickets he opens regarding it

[ripe hemlock]

So free pitch fork for you next month at least 🙂

[finite mural]

Get me a ticket number and i'll have it looked at

[woeful nymph]

I'm just saying, big picture thinking would have had G5 and G6 scrapping come out right after G7 launch to help propel people forward. This is an opportunity to put the train back on the tracks to New Vertiform City

[hollow plover]

do get voyager mines fixed before or after g5 scrapping?

[fluid mist]

I think he did but it's all good I'm not here to be praised just get my voice heard and passed along to powers thst be of course rofl

[grave quest]

what you guys really SHOULD HAVE DONE was not ignore so much feedback from this discord. the people here are nobodys with ideas and honest criticism (and the odd troll). But remember, trust goes both ways and scopes desperately needs to work on winning back player trust. This statement from today just comes across as “we didn’t like having a whistle blower, so we lit it on fire” and “we can’t trust you guys” …

[grave quest]

at this point, i’ll believe it when i see it.

[tidal notch]

Fair!

[ripe hemlock]

I was just wondering.

[woeful nymph]

I'm more concerned that the scaling doesn't suck with scrapping. I hope they don't make it so unappealing people won't even bother. I have deep concerns with the payouts for events we've been seeing

Don't let Billy have any input or it will be DOA and time and $ wasted

i always respond fairly as long as i receive the same treatment.
as for Hammy, he still owes me an apology or an explanation.

[keen loom]

Scopley has a history of silencing voices who disagree with status quo, and openly do so. Content creators who disagreed with Scopley = non renewed. Now the PAC (with the appropriately limited reasons shared) = being replaced.

If you want a bunch of yes men/women just say so. If you want honest feedback, honest ideas, and a true voice of the player - be sure that’s plainly apparent in whatever comes next. <@&509690795536941056>

[ripe hemlock]

I remember that Rev Deuce got banned from this discord server because he openly critizised that Scopely knowingly sold a buggy item in their store.

And regarding to a feedback from another player who is watching him on YT Rev Deuce is still one of the strongest believers in Scopely even after everyone else already gave up on them.

[vivid terrace]

PAC is pointless if it’s a few privileged individuals unknown to the wider player base. Without transparency it serves no useful purpose since its views are never likely to reflect the majority. One has the ask the question of why Scopely think the viewpoint of a few unnamed individuals is better than the feedback you receive from the wider community, whether that be via Discord, surveys or CC’s

[violet estuary]

Pick random players every month and ask them.

[ebon token]

To me PAC was just an extension of VIP Discord and just as useless

[cyan isle]

If PAC had ANYTHING to do with the last year of game development. They should have been completely removed.

But in return. We’ve been giving our feedback for over a year. And it’s been completely ignored.

Nothing will change

[ripe hemlock]

They just need to read here to get enlighted.

[nova sierra]

Heck they dont care about the treatment of their players. Nor do they want to handle any problems. Its.so.bad on our server that 13 players are involved in a police investigation and from what the detective told me 1 has already been arrested. I hope the state of fl gets more arrested. Had scopley cared it wouldnt of gotten. This far. Oh and dont get me started on the harassment. 4 years of trying to get help from scopley and they dont lift a finger. It should of never had to become a police investigation

[violet estuary]

Sure, but sometimes people forget to talk about the good things.

We will have many complaints here because it is easy to write here. Support will close a ticket, your alliance cannot help. Who else do you write to than to the CMs and mods (and broader community).

If Scopely wants ideas discussed or reviewed etc. this discord is not a good platform.

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> "Without a foundation of Trust..." Uhm, who trusts Scopely to have actually listen to anybody? And dissolving PAC entirely just erodes trusts in the first place. If there was people who were known to violate the NDA (which I don't think should be a thing for PAC anyways but if someone signed it they should honor it), Then remove that person, not dissolve the whole thing.

[mossy sparrow]

What good things have this game at current state (99 packs??)

[violet estuary]

I am f2p and I still enjoy playing the game. My goal is efficiency and to defeat the game 😜

[ripe hemlock]

I agree with you.

But it was Scopely not us who dictated the place (ticket system is made useless) and the only place left is this discord here. And Scopely still fails to get the feedback and work off it.

[violet estuary]

It's customer service, right. If the customer is upset and has a complaint - they still care about the product or the brand. All these emotions because we care. I wish Scopely would see that.

[ripe hemlock]

The player base still cares about this game - but Scopely might not...

[violet estuary]

That's what we all want to know: Does Scopely care?

[ripe hemlock]

Nope.

[tepid bramble]

Oh they care, I firmly believe they are “done” with STFC, now they are conducting a PSYOP to see just how much they can pull and how much blood from a turnip they can get.

Every pack folks buy with every lie they tell is a data point.

For the next game they make.

Hence why nothing gets fixed, but new crap (half baked and shoddily coded) keeps getting pushed.

If the pac was listened to we would have not had new arcs but actual bug fixes.

I saw this month you finally fixed the triple notification for the daily mission key. That had been an issue for a number of years. It’s ridiculous how long it takes for even simple bugs to be looked at.

[odd prawn]

Don't mean a thing when PAC was a few Whales from one area

[valid grove]

I am sorry, but from pure evidence of Scopely‘s behavior over the apparent lifetime of this PAC, this statement is either outright wrong, or you are referencing „feedback“ like „Your translation is wrong“.
Looking at the track record of bad decisions over the last 5 years, it just cannot be that you listened to them - at least not where it mattered.
And not listening or acting on the feedback that matters is the same outcome as if the PAC never existed.

Also, for the N‘th iteration of „Oh, but this time we‘ll do better“ is just something no one will fall for anymore.
First time‘s a mistake, second time you‘ve got the benefit of doubt, third time+ it‘s purely on purpose.
With Scopely being at more than 100+ „this time we‘ll do better“ - yeah, sure.

[grave quest]

@tidal notch this!!

[signal raft]

was PAC just Please Ask Conor? because either the PAC peeps were getting paid off or were such high spenders they were entirely out of touch with the reality of the game.

A mix of Ops levels and spend levels are needed because like it or not without the FTP peeps, there's no game because people will soon get bored of not having anyone to talk to...or for the people that are...ahem...compensating less people to stamp all over
