Oh, sorry you mean your two servers, sorry, thought you meant you fought mine.

You should definitely get to keep your name if you both want it, I was just thinking a bit beyond that.

ios update went live awhile ago. so much for updating us

[dreamy river]

Currently in an Alliance Tournament in APAC the lag is making things extremely difficult, the screen keeps turning pink, the repair of ships is uncoordinated , you are making the game more alliance participation and yet this is causing difficulties in that the playing of the game is bugged. Lagged, Alliance participation is causing players to opt out due to problems, just some ..general feedback

We have had three players in our alliance recently quit the game

A fix for the help button ALWAYS showing 2 would be much appreciated. Thanks!

[warped vault]

This needs to be ranked by Wins/Loses the fact there are people that barely play let alone punchdown ranked highly is a terrible method of ranking based on soley account age or whatever it is in tie breakers

[signal anvil]

And again after being told iOS fix would take a little longer but we would be updated and as usual know update was given. I so hate the lack of follow through.

[nocturne phoenix]

Hey at least this one doesn't matter, SLB rankings where same number actually is important...

[strong crest]

Yours is down to two? You lucky dog you.

[stuck gull]

I have been at 2 since the beginning of January.

[strong crest]

8 then 13, then 9, and now back to 8.

[hollow plover]

fix the game

[cosmic anvil]

But they did! We got the patch yesterday and in return more lag, more strangeness and stuck ships. 😜🫪😵‍💫

[modern robin]

Lag at 133... every day...
ships can not be retrieved from mines, warp can not be canceled, repairing ships takes 2 or 3 steps to work, ghost ships in space everywhere.... how can you not see the problems scopely....

https://klipy.com/gifs/do-it-ben-stiller

[pallid pecan]

Wolfy doesn't know where to put this ... but even with an update the hostiles still don't disappear until you click them

Not going to lie, it hasn't bothered me, but it's still an issue

[stuck gull]

Ugh!

[astral perch]

ok Scopely enough is enough. This game has gotten progressively worse over the past few months. The lag is horrendous, new glitches seem to be the norm daily, and yet you keep introducing new content that makes the game more grindy and time consuming. The last update that was truly great and the best quality of life update was the Borg research that brought your daily time down. You have now boxed this game into a monetization death spiral. Just go to maintenance mode.

[swift scaffold]

So here's a poor design among the many things, bulk refine for ship parts is not allowed, and each time to refine ship parts it takes you back to the start, along with that it's only 400 parts at a time... It is beyond tedious since we literally close 40k in uc parts for a single upgrade... Also the webstore you collect 1 daily and it tries and scrolls back up to the top....

[dense linden]

You call that a fix?

[fluid mist]

scopley would since it shows activity and thats all they care about

[scenic kelp]

"We're working on it"—what does that even mean with Scopely? Problems go on for days, weeks, and months without being solved. That's absolutely unacceptable!😡😡🤮🤮

[keen loom]

So everyone realizes right - that player sentiment gets ignored here? Nothing more than wasted breath.

Said it the other day. You lose an appendage. How long you gonna wait to see a doctor? Hopefully not as long as Scopley waits to fix ongoing issues.

[humble spade]

[muted hamlet]

is it possible after 7+ years to actually make notifications work properly? jeez this is frustrating. I am getting multiple sets of 10 notifications daily for the terran faction store. I haven’t done arenas in months. that’s just one example. want qol? how about fixing stuff like that?

[woven atlas]

So in their infinite wisdom, Scopely makes you scrap and rebuild Revenant at T5, and when you rebuild it you start from scratch, weaker than when you started? What sense does that make?

[lucid socket]

Look for the scrapping gift, it should contain your new skin, which u need to unlock before u start upgrading... repeat at tier 10 and 15

[woven atlas]

Ok, I didn't get any gift.

[lucid socket]

You need to look for it, it may be in refinery. Each tier of the skin gives u massive efficiency allowing u to return it to the tier u left. Look for it to get it back to tier 5 in a few minutes

[woven atlas]

I had already started upgrading so it probably disappeared. Scopely logic.

[quick coral]

#⭐-official-announcements message

I dont think you understand the difference in power for pvp banding... a g6 player can absolutely obliterate a low g5 player. You give an ops 70 player the ability to hit a g5 player, the g5 player has no chance at defense at all.

Yes, it is good to lessen the pvp bands, but... the amount changed still doesnt help the core problem.

[sonic valve]

So as an ops 60. I can only hit g5, while I can be hit by g6 and g7... think about why this isnt a viable pvp range.
How hard is 15 plus or minus for all ops.

[grave quest]

did you level up to level 21 at least? it won’t give the gift if you didn’t

[glass monolith]

Help me understand why shields are still dropping when raiding doesnt count anymore? 🤣

[somber cloak]

Sooooo broken! Clueless!

[woven atlas]

Well that explains it...I think I was just at 20

[tropic crown]

The Klingon armadas to incursions is just another cash grab to try sell directives.

[stone bloom]

R.I.P. Incursions

[dawn flame]

when does the PvP range take effect? it doesn't seem to be in place presently

[grave quest]

a raid event … without a raiding leaderboard event … 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤦‍♂️ Whatever brokely is smoking, i want some!

[woven atlas]

It's only during the Incursion.

[ebon patio]

great job scopely at once again showing how out of touch you are wth your player base

[sonic valve]

You would think with the poor participation of arenas they would learn that pvp isnt generally liked. Not that there shouldnt be elements of it. But it should never be the primary scorer. Its never worked in this game.

[true beacon]

Since you are now requiring that we use email to log into the web store how about fixing your login so we only have to jump through all the bs once.

[livid spear]

PvP is "broken" on its onwn way. The only thing look montly is now ruined too. Only 1-2% players want to do pvp in incursions and even that is limited time

[umbral gull]

This game does more and more to chase away g6 g7 players who spend tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars on it, gotta say 👏

[vestal cave]

no 106 on incursions on bye or in pairings, lol

[sonic valve]

It says it applies across the whole game, not just incursions

[tropic crown]

Actually I think they said it wasn’t just in incursions.

[vast nest]

Refresh the blog, Hammy said 106v112

[umbral gull]

It's the entire game it's not just incursions

[vague compass]

This isn't an incursion, this is mini garbage. 12 hours without a base, completely pointless. The best thing of the month is gone. A disgrace, everything good dies. Embarrassing.

[exotic arrow]

The one event that PvP players actually enjoyed, was just nerfed

[fringe kite]

I can already tell you as an OPs level 57 this is going to make me not participate in the incursion. You’ve taken away most of my targets while taking away none of the people who can target me. Why would I play at all when you’ve basically offered me up for lunch? PvP will just be a massacre of G5 players.

[livid spear]

The PvP fights that started during incurions was on BASE RAID DEFENSES.

[junior lava]

Incursion is now a solo cloaked armada event?

[exotic arrow]

No base raiding (dumb). Narrowed pvp brackets (good), 12 hours instead of 24 (dumb, shift workers are ppl too)

[umbral gull]

So many players on my server are quitting lmao

[rigid ledge]

you can still raid bases if you like 😅

[true beacon]

You've fixed nothing with the new pvp bands. Just wasted time and money that could have been spent making the game better. Sit back and watch the revenue continue to drop.

[exotic arrow]

Id do, whatever those events are on Friday for pvp, but as a shift worker, I'm at work..so..

[vague compass]

Simply don't participate and wear a 12-hour sign...top job

[tropic crown]

<@&509690795536941056> I am thinking I will be a lot less active in the new incursions. 1) I am not going to be buying armadas directives to take part. I won’t spend on a game as broken as this. 2) Base raiding is my favorite part and you just cut that out of scoring for the server win. 3 ) the only thing sounds good is the bracket changes. 4) I forgot the 12 hour thing, what if I am at work then? I just SOL. RIP incursions.

[maiden dagger]

we already have pvp event once a week its called arenas

[stark kindle]

Well done Scopely destroying the only decent event. No base raiding… there are not words

[livid spear]

Well, aim going for protest just set 12h shield and sit this incurion out

[exotic arrow]

Base raiding is your favourite part? What ops level are you, 2?

[glacial flint]

New incursions are a distinctly stupid idea.

[thick shore]

@tidal notch Are those of us in 411, who are getting a bye, going to get subspace relay keys to finally start building the subspace relay?

[tidal notch]

Yeah. I get that. But I've also heard a lot from players about one or two high ops players not shielding intentionally (or accidentally) and tanking it for the entire server. This is a change we're testing out.

[exotic arrow]

12 hours is dumb

[vague compass]

If this becomes "STFC 2026", then good night. Shame on you. Profit for hardware, not for managers.

[exotic arrow]

Some people are, 1) shift workers and can't participate due to work. 2) on other servers where time actually exists 3) otherwise preoccupied. Every event, with very few exceptions in game are 24 hours.

[gusty fractal]

Empty message

[stark kindle]

The fun part of base raiding is more about the skirmishes and great mass PvP we end up in defending and trying to take them by force. Remove bases and cross alliance working together and it just sounds absolutely trash.

Like honestly it’s the one time our server really comes together and alliances all speak between each other / call out to support each other.

[thick owl]

Reading Hammy's post I understand the intention but this will lower overall participation in the event which will kill it. stop listening to whales and listen to your OG average player. Improving the pvp bands is good but they're still too broad for such an event. Smh, less play time for me.

[exotic arrow]

I don't disagree. Base raiding is still fun. However, unless I'm scooping 5-20T per scoop it's now boring. However, during incursions, it can still be fun if it's an event or scoring last points

[stark kindle]

With you on this. I understand the problem they’re trying to solve- the answer however seems ramped all the way up to nuclear in response

[stark kindle]

Oh totally. Our last incursion was the most boring one we’ve had. Both sides did prep so well there were hardly any targets at all and a lot of folk just took an extended break and did dailies.

[fast anvil]

the pvp brackets are still really wide. g7 shld face g7, g6 with g6, g5 with g5, etc. not for the whole game but only during incursions

[exotic arrow]

The amount of times I've seen an ops70+ player protecting an ops 40ish player raiding an inactive player, who has 1-20T, max, is dumb. New pvp ranges helps, but for those smaller players that is huge.

[ripe hemlock]

no, the BLOG states also after incursion

[exotic arrow]

Obviously you've never had an incursion with S76

[winged jewel]

basically ruined incursions.. why ?

[exotic arrow]

We are likely, the worst server in the entire game, when it comes to incursions

[lucid socket]

The problem with some of these accidental losses come from being in an area considered safe a good portion of the time (territories and 20+ systems) and shielded and entirely unaware of incursion.

[stark kindle]

I don’t have an issue with the brackets at all. Getting pummelled when you’re at say 59 and don’t have G6 ships yet is savage… it’s the other parts of the changes I hate 😆

[exotic arrow]

Safety. Oh I have 24 hours, I'll bubble 1 hour prior to incursions. 23 hours in, bubble drops, give'e.

[tropic crown]

I forgot to add the first time 12 hours is terrible. I work 10 hour shifts so basically I won’t be doing incursion from now on. This sucks one few things I actually looked forward to in the game.

[exotic arrow]

12 hours is dumb as Scopely is smart

[civic osprey]

Really scopely? You ruined the incursion?!

[restive wraith]

Great changes made to the PVP banding - plus the base raiding not scoring means you wont lose points while doing PvP - well done - finally one to get behind

[sonic valve]

Except now you've removed thr mechanic most lower ops can contribute. I dont care for base raiding. But its not like lower ops can pvp much due to this poor banding

[umbral gull]

I've never seen devs so out of touch with their pbase

[umbral belfry]

Scopes read the anger you have caused you have ruined the incursion for 99% of the players all because the 1% cried that loud about been raided because they couldn't find the shield button

[flint plume]

@tidal notch Since I know folks mostly show up here to give negative feedback (I’m guilty of this too), just want to say I’m fairly optimistic about the incursion changes. I think removing base raiding as the primary scoring mechanism is long overdue, and I like the reduced timeframe. Narrowing PvP ranges is going to help a lot of players stay engaged.
We’ll have to see how the new scoring works to be sure - but overall I think this is a really good direction. Incursions had gotten pretty stale, this should liven things up as we all create new strategies for winning as a server.

[round onyx]

This looks like a solution desperately seeking a problem to me. Even the FAQ page has not been updated. Like others, I can't grasp shield restrictions when base raiding does not count for anything. At first glance, I expect armadas to only be thrown by 70+ players. That will leave out most players who can't scratch something that high up. A 12 hour timer will also leave the servers' "night crews" out in the cold who made big contributions in the past. Time zones, hello? Another portion of the player base who can only play at night, hello again? I could continue this, but I know that some won't read even this much 😉 GG Scopely GG

[exotic arrow]

Worse problem is that they GIVE players, 24 hours of shields daily, and they STILL can't figure it out

[fringe kite]

The PvP bands seem good at lower levels but if you are ops 56-60 you may as well rename yourself to krill cause all you are is whale food now.

[exotic arrow]

Those are the players that deserve to have incursions happen

[livid spear]

@tidal notchfor new scoring idea for incursion could be bit similar to alliance tournament. Have 2-5 tasks you can do during event. Armadas, pvp kills, PvE, mining or somthing. The servedhow is done more task points should win. And keep the incursion lasting more then 12h, maybe 20h or the 24h.

[tropic crown]

The base raiding change is going to kill incursions.

[umbral belfry]

@flint plume well if you read feed back no one will be bothered taking part

[exotic arrow]

Every day, every player in the game earns the opportunity to earn up to 24 hours of shielding.

[tropic crown]

This!

[umbral gull]

This made server rogues SO strong lmao

[limber mesa]

that's why they added armada scoring.
they're trying to move these skirmishes to armada systems.

[opaque raft]

Abandoning raid scoring in incursions, makes the ‘need’ to build Amalgam a lot less

[stark kindle]

Which would be great if it wasn’t open to abuse. Folk will cheese it by having Ops70+ run them. Calling it now

[vale scroll]

Wish they would focus on FIXING THE GAME, instead of making changes nobody wants.

[sonic valve]

Something like this makes a lot more sense

[exotic arrow]

I am strong! Like bull!

[limber mesa]

and ops 70+ from the other server will be there to kick them out of the circle.

[tropic crown]

No they are trying to sell directives. It’s a cash grab.

[stark kindle]

Aye sounds great everyone just optimising armada teams with players from the top of the banding. 🙄

[exotic arrow]

Can anyone explain how this actually helps the game, aside from the new pvp brackets?

[winged jewel]

scoepley hoping to sell armada starts packs

[karmic meadow]

Why are you always trying screw over night shifts on limited time events. Not everybody is available during your conception of "peak" hours.

[umbral gull]

This entire "game" is a cash grab

[exotic arrow]

Haven't ever bought one. Likely never will. Win-Win for me, I guess

There must be a lot of math stating that people buy armada packs (here's looking at you G7 players and whining about RoE that doesn't exist)

[tender arch]

The thing you will see now is one or two unbeatable players flying around and scoring points. And if they are a whale they will go and buy a gzilion armada dirs and nobody will be able to touch them.
This does not level the playing field. It plays more to the unbeatables.

[tender arch]

Also “peak” hours in 8am 🙈

[muted dune]

As someone that loves Incursions and looks forward to the event every month, I really don't like the updates. I don't like the 12 hour time period instead of 24 hours. I know I am in the minority on my server at least in liking Incursions, but it was 1 day, just 1 day a month that there was a big event that got back to some of the roots of this game of combat and raiding. I am not sure on the level bands, sure in Arena that would be a great thing, but in general I can punch up and have not had a huge issue with higher levels hitting me. I will withhold judgement on the bands, but it is just not something I care about. I get there was some grumbling about raiding and how it could unbalance thing, but I really don't care about if my server wins (note, if history is correct it will not), I care about my own performance in the various events. While I am primarily PVP, right now I need a lot of trit, LOTS OF TRIT, and Incursions are a great way to build up my reserves, so I AM going to be raiding, not doing armadas. So losing some scoring on my raiding is annoying. There are lots of bugs to fix, go do that and stop messing with a one day a month event that is way more fun then the grindfest this game is normally.

[vague compass]

<@&509690795536941056> If this is your last word on Incursion, then you have neutered STFC and doomed it to destruction.

[umbral gull]

just spend 25k and stop whining is what they want

[tropic crown]

It screws over day shift as well, I work 10 hours shifts add in drive time to work and I cant take part.

[exotic arrow]

Free the penis

[round onyx]

yep

[karmic meadow]

That's true too. They keep seeming to think this game is the main priority focus in everyone's lives and our jobs/personal lives are secondary to be in the game at a specific time

[pliant crow]

Where was this posted?

[arctic pivot]

This #⭐-official-announcements message reads to me as:

1. we are unable to fix the massive lag on base raiding that occurred for the past 2 months -> so dont score it
2. booster pack on AWS performance is to expensive for 24h -> just go gown to 12h and make it 9am to 9pm on a saturday where almost no one can really participate since that’s family/friends/gardening/shopping time.
3. how do we sell Armada-Packs für 99€ like in the good old days? -> let players waste them while doing pvp!
   • you all know UC launches wont count for didely squad right?

[muted dune]

It is in my in-game news, Infinite Incursions on March 28th and Updates / Pairings.

[tropic crown]

I see a lot more people shielding up and not bothering with incursions now.

[umbral gull]

ill barely be bothering with the game period with a lot of g6/g7 on 709

cc removed from the store

[vale scroll]

Will be even less now

[umbral gull]

whoever faces 709 should be a really easy win cause nobody is playing :D

[glad hollow]

Anyone else seeing multiple events for arena matches?

[umbral gull]

yes

[glad hollow]

arena not even running lol

[umbral gull]

i did it at the end of the hour last night and got rewards for both events

[round onyx]

so the incursion will be reduced to only 68+ players. the rest can shield and binge watch something 😛

[umbral gull]

if you think the 68+ players are going to play, you got another thing coming

[tropic crown]

Yes

[restive wraith]

I am a 68+ player and think its a great mix up - not everyone wants to raid endlessly, brain numbingly for 24 hours....at least this way its shorter and more focused on PvP which what the event was generally designed for....

[umbral gull]

i can't wait for you to see how many players play with you

[thick owl]

If a 76 can hit me at 56 how much of an improvement has been made?

[umbral gull]

the one big activity most people looked forward to once a month?

[glad hollow]

The raiding event will still be running.... guess im still gonna raid then lol

[restive wraith]

You can base raid every day of the month mate....

[umbral gull]

you sure can and the gap will get smaller and smaller

i think they will see with the amount of players that actually drop off, that this was a really bad move

[crystal furnace]

We will see what the cap looks like….

[thick owl]

Raiding will only give an individual reward and does nothing for your team or server. Can still get slaughtered by whales in pvp. Ill be shielding, cause
I actually play, I don't throw money in and go inactive then complain about being raided

[umbral gull]

you've obviously never raided with your entire server before and it shows

[vale scroll]

Not even sure why they're bothering to alter the PvP ranges, and do players of this level still need nanny care?

[thick owl]

Theyre posted somewhere already

[restive wraith]

are you sure mate - 20% participated in your last event....

[thick owl]

Me? Don't be silly

[umbral gull]

HAHA look at that graph

[junior sierra]

Thank you for saying you need Trit. Incursion rewards now will no longer include Trit of any kind 🤣 jk jk

[umbral gull]

thats how many players are actually playing the game still

[crystal furnace]

When you’re repeatedly getting hit by an ops 20 + lvls above you it’s gets old. Heaven forbid they go after someone the same strength.

[neon atlas]

If they keep it to 10 levels or less, it would drive competition instead of driving long shields

[compact terrace]

that's not what this game is about.. it's about ... ive paid my way to the top, so I want to dominate the weaker players... 🙁

[neon atlas]

💯 sadly true

[ruby elbow]

I still have helpall button on for almost a year but let’s change something that works to some extent and not broken 💩

[mellow cave]

Ha you know what Scopely can do to stop their lies .

If Connor had said ' We lie to your face' at least he would be telling the truth instead of this ' We hear you' lies lol

[thick owl]

More like i bought packs so Scopely works for me lol

[umbral gull]

i only spend 25k. how much did you?

[crystal furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/im-king-of-the-world-gif-16735306524783734251

[compact terrace]

under $100 🙂 i stopped a long long time ago... couldnt support the broken issue and figured they would have collapsed years ago

[hollow plover]

thank you for adjusting incursion into something i couldn't be interested less

• before: server coordination, plankton could spot target for whales, whales cracks, plankton eats
• now: clash of whales, whoever bought the biggest clubs wins

[vale scroll]

Getting hit? you mean your base? did you not complete the shield tutorial? think many skipped it.

[neon atlas]

Do any of their staff play this game? Not on a demigod admin account, but as a player? If they did, they'd see all the bugs we see; the crashes, the lag, the pink squares and broken Kirshara

Omg Thundo

[restive wraith]

So now shielding and bases being open are not effecting the score - its a good thing right? Means you can PvP instead of just scoring by raiding and not worry about the back door being left open

[vale scroll]

No, because most of the PvP was from base raiding, and defending alliance members bases... if it doesn't count anymore then less people bother

[thick owl]

Have you never stopped a raider by using voyager to find their base and counter attack?

[restive wraith]

How do you know that? Havent done an incursions yet with the new rules - having a laugh

[restive wraith]

Yes absolutely by hitting their ships too - thats where the PVP is

[tender arch]

And I see much more win trading happening unfortunately :/

[glad hollow]

Normally, the raider is right next to their target lol

[mellow cave]

They probably test it out and go ' my tier 2 phindra tier 2 realta and tier 2 oriom corvette at max research can take down this 100t armada, what is the issue here'

[thick owl]

Ok all of the situational chat is a digression 😂

[vale scroll]

Because I won't be bothering now, so thats already 'less' to make my statement factual , i won't be the only one though

[restive wraith]

So what you moaning about then? Just shield up for 12 hours and move on with your life

[stark kindle]

Yeah that comment confused me. Obv I’m pitching up right next door for max efficiency

[vale scroll]

Because I enjoyed incursions as they were? have you not been following the thread?

[glad hollow]

exactly who long distance raids leaving the door wide open for a counter attack lol

[thick owl]

Cause we joined the game to play not to shield

[restive wraith]

Yeah everyone having a winge - yet if you look at your Server Incursion participation - less than half participate in Incursions - so they are not for everyone - so more players already 'not bother with' them

[thick owl]

It was meant for anyone not parked in the open, like when a ship first triggers the ten min shield. 🙄

[restive wraith]

And you dont have to....as on the incursion day - you wont be the base that lets your whole server down by losing the contest and your rss

[umbral belfry]

@restive wraith and how many are going to compete in doing armadas none

[soft apex]

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-on-prime-fallout-prime-video-bethesda-maximus-gif-341377901427165611

[thick owl]

Eh?

[restive wraith]

No idea mate - not had the incursions yet

[thick owl]

Actually i see that part working

[restive wraith]

You said you dont play the game to shield - these new rules means you dont have to shield in fear that you not shielded will cost your server the win

[vale scroll]

So why are they bothering with this at all then? it's not going to improve the numbers, may as well scrap the event entirely. Your logic makes zero sense.

[glad hollow]

I have plenty of relocation tokens. I will move to the system on another planet, then, when their shield is down, port over

[crystal furnace]

No. I know how to shield

[restive wraith]

Something different - they are a sales company - so less than half of the participants dont play Incursions every month - so the majority dont want to do it - so you tailor it to try to get more engagement to sell the idea more....

[thick owl]

But i do not pvp, raid so my points don't count for the server, I don't care about solo leaderboards. Anyway its boring that you have to counter point everything being said.

[umbral belfry]

@restive wraith well feed back from our Incursion prep and here it's going to be even worse participation like lowrs are saying they are not going to risk starting armadas for some one to come in and kill them no point

[restive wraith]

Cloaked armadas?

[umbral gull]

Win trading makes more sense now

[restive wraith]

Not countering - balancing out the argument - so do you not do arena's either then?

[umbral belfry]

@restive wraith exactly so no point in it then cloak disco out your ship no PvP incursion dead

[vale scroll]

But you aren't a sales company, you're a player. Something different? you will still be able to raid bases during incursion, just no points scored. So that means smaller players cant take part in base raids that larger players enabled for them. And where exactly is the PvP happening? in some designated system? what a snore fest!

[thick owl]

Ive been playing since the 4th week the game began, you're not teaching anything. I made my comment, move on.

[thick owl]

Zero

[dreamy mesa]

Running an armada is easy if done correctly. The issue is the timing. And yes cloaking is about the only way I see this working.

[restive wraith]

Ha ha - yeah ok....as I pointed out earlier - not everyone participates in incursions so Scopely is playing to the demand

[thick owl]

I don't pvp because of the band imbalance which still looks way off and other reasons that don't need sharing.

[umbral gull]

I wish we could see current players now vs current players in April first week

[restive wraith]

So you dont do arena, you dont do pvp at all but you like incursions 1 day a month to raid bases - that you can raid for the other 29/30 days anyway?

[restive viper]

So the incursion scoring will pretty much be limited to people with all the power who can defend their armadas from others and anyone in small alliances will not be able to score

[umbral gull]

You got it kitty but don't worry the big players aren't playing it

[restive wraith]

Do i have to show your graph again - 21% participated in your last incursion....79% didnt!

[shy palm]

But the two dont have to be either/or. Incursions were there for those of us that like the raiding conflict, arena is already there for people who like PVP over armadas. Why make incursions into a glorified 12 hour arena match?

[restive wraith]

I just think they are trying something different to get engagement in my humble opinion

[umbral gull]

Stella... 21% is our active player base

The rest are already dead bases or quit from other garbage

[thick owl]

Maybe, maybe not. I have to defend my feelings or how i play the game? Theres no event requiring pvp within ones own server so no our server is not high on pvp

[thorn sky]

Feels like Scopely wants to turn Incusion into an even bigger P2W event.

[vale scroll]

But, these changes don't encourage participation in incursions. It puts off players who DID used to participate. Feel like you're not quite understanding this.

[restive wraith]

Maybe you should look for a server merge ?

[full mulch]

<@&509690795536941056> given that 702 will have just had a merger, wouldn't a bye make more sense?

[thick owl]

Its funny that my opinion has put my gaming under attack.

[umbral gull]

That would certainly help it's been over 1.5 years

[round onyx]

the choice of scooping mats for personal needs the rest of the time OR helping every other player on the server at the same time makes the decision clear to me. If it is your turn to be the designated contrarian today, i am sorry you got the short straw pull. 😉

[restive wraith]

Yeah I am sure after incursions you can show that this is the case

[restive viper]

Incursions were the one day we didn't have to worry about ROE and we could just play the game and it was a challenging game because we had to survive doing our dailies in the middle of an enemy field that's being taken away from us it was a glorious 24 hours that I looked forward to every month and many players do most active players do

[thick owl]

Leaving this chat, clearly not really a feedback channel, unless you want feedback on your own post 😂 echo chamber like all of them

[umbral gull]

That is the planet what are you even saying

[flint plume]

I am hoping the PvP range adjustment will help with the first. The second is an issue - we’ll have to see how the scoring works out. Like I said, I’m cautiously optimistic and frankly happy they are trying something new, because incursions were getting quite boring and only 15-20% of players were participating. I’m honestly glad I don’t need to be spending the week prior sending out 100’s of reminders to move and shield, and I don’t need to be spending hours and hours scouting and raiding for RSS i don’t need

[fluid mist]

So I'm curious does this new pvp banding take into account that during incursions people raid and who do people raid most as high lv players thst they can find because on average they got the goods(rss) so now you've essentially stopped my whole point for participating in incursions which was for the rss not for pvp but pvp comes with base raiding. This is my only comment about it since I know I'll prolly get somebody saying well just hit smaller player's there's a reason they smaller because they needs rss or materials so hitting them ain't gonna help me out since they broke like me rofl.

[umbral gull]

Yes panda, we all have less reasons to do things now lol

[restive wraith]

Find it funny that people are complaining about not being able to base raid - yet they dont want to do it for the rest of the month in their own server, yet they can still base raid in incursions but they dont score - so you still get the resources and you still have to avoid being hit....nothing has changed except leaving your own base exposed doesnt affect the scoring

[vale scroll]

Sounds like they're trying to slowly merge arena and incursions together. When the low participation is mostly due to the play to win model the game will always be, and the endless bugs that are never fixed.

[thick owl]

Raiding doesn't score for the server thats the complaint

[restive wraith]

But you can still raid for the resources

[thick owl]

That is not a counter point, the complaint is the scoring not raiding

[restive wraith]

You do score in the solo....just not in the server one

[thick owl]

Yes thats the complaint

We want to contribute to our server score with our raiding

[restive wraith]

You can though - scoring with PvP and Armadas?

[thick owl]

Thats not raiding, you're being intentionally obtuse. 🫏

[charred burrow]

Which makes it worse, people waste time raiding and it doesn't contribute to winning the incursion.

[thick owl]

You don't have to answer you know, you could ket my comment sit

[opaque thunder]

The new PVP banding is just another play to force people to move up. At ops 47, I can help scout, and I can help raid during incursions, to the point of being one of if not the top raiders for the last few incursions. Under the new rules, I can raid up to 55, and might as well sit it out. Won't be any juicy 10T+ pulls with my amalgam in there.

[urban sky]

Ya who wants to raid alone. I have almost 3 qd and they just give me more and more who needs to raid? Armadas are garbage no reason to PvP lets hold hands now

[umbral belfry]

@restive wraith so the server with the most whales buying armada drs wins so some servers don't stand a chance

[mild thicket]

I disagree, and as a person who is an active PvP player, base raiding should not count towards a server pvp event score, because afk base raiding is not PvP.

I certainly agree that they should be adding in reasons for people to engage in PvP because i do think participation will be less - whether that's introducing defend & control nodes (to force PvP ship engagement), or something similar, idk.

However, raiding an afk base is never, and never will be PvP by any stretch of the imagination - it's like claiming you're a great FIFA/COD player because you can beat your opponent when he's not at his PC - there's zero sense of achievement in combating a player who isn't even there to fight you back.

[thick owl]

So im 50/50 with you but you just stated it, yeah if pvp were more incentivized but this ain't it

[opaque thunder]

Hey, if you don't want the incursion won or lost by someone forgetting to do the absolute easiest thing (shield), that everyone should just know to do. Here's an idea, just disable all shields during incursions. Then you'll have to actively participate! That's what you want, right?

[restive wraith]

Probably mate - I dont know - but it may also mean that people hitting a level 35 klingon armada gets the same points as a whale hitting a 70 one

[restive wraith]

Thank you - balanced argument!

[silent wharf]

There is still a Raiding SLB event going during incursion, So raiding isn't completely removed from the incursion meta. The difference now is you have to find more unique ways to compete for 1st during the server event. PVP damage still counts. Crushing miners and stealing Mats still counts. and now apparently running Klingon Armadas will count. I think scopely took the arena idea and decided to try it outside of arenas . It will be interesting to see how it works, but I agree participation will likely still be low on many servers.

[vale scroll]

First off, who says incursions are PvP only? I can score in events by doing research, or spending ship xp... it's a server vs server event, and are you forgetting what actually triggers and promotes most PvP during incursions? Base raiding, and defending unshielded bases.

[restive wraith]

Isnt the idea of 'invaider and defender' about hitting another server - pitting players against each other etc.... that surely is PvP? No?

[silent wharf]

Whales will still need to participate, because whales can still do the most damage in PVP

[charred burrow]

Some of the most fun I've ever had has been counter raiding while defending an afk base. Literally thousands of battles over the course of 1-2 hours. Dozens of players from ops 40 to 70+ all fighting in the same system.

[thick owl]

Also no glory, just about points. I agree base raiding is not pvp.
I do wish there were an IN server combat events so that the cross server ones would be more attractive.

[vale scroll]

Incursions involve PvP yes, where did I state otherwise?

[restive wraith]

Do you add scores for Research and Ship Xp's then? Does that score in the event?

[vague grotto]

So what I read from your removal of base raiding in Incursion is you couldn't fix the issues so decided to remove it completely, Da Daaaaaaaa Hey presto its fixed so bad and the only interesting thing in this game... Incursions you have ruined, take a bow Scopay, take a bow

[mild thicket]

And I certainly agree, they need to incentivise and create reasons to ensure those big battles can and will still happen - e.g. control nodes or something, but the primary way to win an event should not be over someones base who isn't even online - that's just not PvP - and that's before you get into the players who purposefully self-sabotogue their servers etc.

[livid spear]

<@&509690795536941056> or new scoring idea for incursion could be bit similar to alliance tournament. Have 2-5 tasks you can do during event. Armadas, pvp kills, PvE, mining or somthing. The servedhow is done more task points should win. And keep the incursion lasting more then 12h, maybe 20h or the 24h.

[vale scroll]

I think so, but you missed my point.. The OP was seemingly claiming that everything during an incursion had to be pure PvP, its Server Vs Server which includes defending unshielded bases, and form part of the tactics during an incursion.

[fast anvil]

its pvp because it forces people to defend and use ships to kill yours and you kill theirs etc, and since when is base raiding an afk activity. either your first sentence was phrased badly or you actually meant it

[restive wraith]

And to challenge people they have decided to tweak the scoring and only after the first incursion next week will anyone know if this is an improvement or a detriment - when participation is low in its current format, mixing things up can or may improve participation

[vale scroll]

I only need to look in my AC and GC chats to see this will reduce participation.... which server are you on? I will join it and have a read of your GC

[zinc topaz]

Pvp Level Bands still too high in my eyes....

[charred burrow]

and reducing raiding scoring by 50% and increasing pvp kill scoring 50x or whatever the number needs to be would have been an approach that didn't ruin the event by removing raiding from scoring.

[restive wraith]

EU 145 - there has been 3 comments - two are thinking its an April Joke the other is about football...

[vale scroll]

So they can't even believe it's real.... doesn't sound like they're eager for the next incursion because of this does it? 😂

[restive wraith]

Our participation last incursion was 45% so not even half....so if it encourages some of the other 55% to start scoring then its not a bad thing

[mild thicket]

I think you’re kind of proving my point without meaning to.

What you’re describing can turn into PvP if the defender shows up and there’s an actual fight. At that point, absolutely, ships vs ships & counterplay is 100% PvP

But the act of raiding itself isn’t inherently PvP. If I hit your base while you’re offline, shield down, that’s not “forcing PvP,” that’s just farming event points in what should be a PvP event. The PvP part only happens conditionally (and only sometimes!)

A scoring system for a PvP event should reward actual player on player interaction, not the possibility that one might occur.

I think that’s the difference you’re missing.

[umbral gull]

I have seen the player base react similiar once before and it didn't go well for the game

[vale scroll]

I think the difference you're missing is that it's a server vs server event, and not a pvp event. Tactics, cleanups and protecting bases form part of preventing the other server from scoring. If you have left a whale base undefended, then you deserve to lose

[umbral gull]

The amount of PVP that has surrounded a base raid vs an armada..

I guess this is why they released all these armada officers

[charred burrow]

or... raid the whale yourself to prevent the other server from scoring

[fast anvil]

most of the time people wont be able to find their own whale cuz so far, unless youre a hard core alliance, u arent checking all the systems your mates r in unless theyre in lvl 20+ systems.

[umbral gull]

almost like you need your server to band together to accomplish this

[restive viper]

On 703 we have a whale that intentionally throws the incursions despite our server he allows the other side to raise his base we don't care if we lose the incursion to that we just enjoy getting to play the incursion the way it was even knowing we won't win because it was for our personal scoring that we played that is being taken away who cares if he can't throw the incursion now there's no point in playing it.

[umbral gull]

we all have those people, and our server vaults them prior to the incursion usually - or during.

[charred burrow]

We had a rogue pop all their tokens, move into a 20+ space and openly invite the other server to come raid them in Galaxy chat. We then proceeded to raid both the rogue and the people trying to raid the rogue.

[umbral gull]

Yeah but imagine armadas?

[charred burrow]

I already do solo armadas on the other server during incursion, no one cares

[opaque thunder]

Except it won't. The other 55% want nothing to do with PvP or incursions. This will steal from the 45% who do (or did) want to participate in incursions. This doesn't expand what can be done during incursions, it limits it.

[restive viper]

So I'm thinking the new limits on PVP aren't just going to ruin the incursion and most of the rest of gameplay it's also going to ruin latinum Rush because lots of us score points by hunting higher and lower OPC latinum miners you've just taken that away also. Let's see if we can find out what else you've ruined with this.

[restive wraith]

Maybe pick up on this point next week after the event has actually happened….

[umbral gull]

From a player who looked forward to incursions and played every single one, this has made me check out completely. Hopefully not from the entire game but meh. Good chit chat peoples and good luck

[charred burrow]

https://i.imgflip.com/an8flt.jpg

[mild thicket]

Now, if they replaced AFK base raiding with control nodes that spawn a large amount of Sigma-Resources and could be faught over.... ya know, that'd be something we'd all love.

[opaque thunder]

I'm ops 47. I pair with our 71. I scout, he cracks, we raid. Now my options are push up, which I refuse to do, so I guess that's on me, or now I scout the 55-57 ops that we overlap. So that I can score in the XSLB, since raiding doesn't matter. In between that, I guess I can fly around looking for the 3 ships left out to PvP with.

[unborn field]

@tidal notch as someone in high end G5 for me this change is great as far as who I can hit, however I, as a 59 stand ZERO chance against a G7 of any Operations level. I don't even want to think of how bad the banding was before this change. If they're still allowed to hit that low. It's a step in the right direction but I think y'all need to reign in the G7 banding specifically the rest of it seems pretty nice.

[opaque thunder]

Leave everything else alone, and put an NPC base with 40 Qd of rss in V'varia on each server that you can only attack on the enemy server, or try to defend on your server. There. active pvp participation, incursions saved.

[tame spade]

Base raiding is out for incursions? Then I’m joining the haters, finally out for incursions. Shield time.

Was already a ton of PvP surrounding the big base raids, all that needed done if they wanted more ship vs ship was increasing the PvP points and events for ships.

[tropic crown]

True it’s almost impossible to find someone who wants to fight.

[tidal notch]

If it helps, I think the old banding for 59 was 80 to 39. But I get your point about G7 peeps.

[mild thicket]

tbh it's not really just G7 players either, no-one really stands much of a chance against someone once they are at +2 FKR ship tiers - defeating a rare with an uncommon only happens when there is a large difference in ship tier / research levels (assuming all are pvp crewed) - defeating someone a full generation above you (like g5 uncommon vs g6), is practically impossible.

[keen loom]

The updates to incursions just make me laugh.

The only reason to remove resource raiding from events (aside it being ridiculously boring) is because Scopley servers can’t even keep up with dailies.

[vague compass]

<@&509690795536941056> Server 108, lag, ghost ships, recalls aren't working, fleets aren't being targeted after launch—so we're back to being babysat, and now you're completely neutering THE event, Incursion. What's your plan to scrap STFC by mid-year? Where's your 2026 plan... just more lies again? Man, oh man, pathetic.

[keen loom]

Maintenance mode. 18 months or less. That is not a prediction - it’s a spoiler.

[tidal notch]

You're still seeing ghost ships? When's the last time you updated your game. A fix for that should have rolled out yesterday.

[cosmic knoll]

starting to amend the PvP banding is 2 years 2 late. most of the players that this affected the most have already quit.

how about comping everyone

[tropic crown]

More like ghost fleets

[tidal notch]

pinged ya

[solar sun]

<@&509690795536941056> Players are losing interest in Incursion now because of the type of event but mostly because they always play the same servers. Yeah there might have been a need for some LITTLE tweaks but to make drastic changes like what was announced is ridiculous. What was really needed is

1- the ability to raid Sigma RSS before having to drain the normal RSS, maybe get a new raiding scooper that could allow scooping a % of Sigma RSS.
2-have more SLB PVE events during incursion to satisfy the pve players by including their pve effort into the Server scoring. More pve players out grinding = more pvp targets for the pvp players but you need to give a reason for the pve players to come out to play.

The 12 hours format is also STUPID. Players don't all play at the same time of the day or night and reducing the length of Incursion is just giving players another reason to put a long shield and enjoy real life

I really don't know how you ended up with this new format but you need to fire the people that came up with that. I also suggest that you start listening to the right players... ya know those big spenders that think you should fix the game to make it playable again instead of changing the events to fit how broken the game is..... It's like Scopely is doing everything to push the players to call it quit and that's not how you treat your player base after 7 years of loyalty.

[ornate siren]

How about those of us players that are either in a different time zone then most of the region or have to only be on mostly during the non peak times are you just driving us out of the game/ event when you limit it to 12 hours.

[vague compass]

i have the newes fix....

[tiny axle]

Speaks for itself 😂

[unborn field]

I appreciate your candid response and do seriously think it's a step in the right direction. I just hope we can reign in the banding on the high end. Otherwise I generally like the rest of this blog.

Thanks for the reply by the way 🙂 🐹🐹

[round onyx]

I just noticed the cancelation of the player advisory council and a week later THIS is rolled out. Hmm

[cosmic knoll]

so its PACs fault for not changing pvp brackets? light the torches and sharpen the pitchforks!

[unreal jolt]

Incursions without raid scoring just makes things boring, others may disagree but some of the most fun during incursions happens when raiding a big base and then defenders and attackers can have big fights... remove the raid scoring means less people inclined to pvp outside of the designated systems, means more people sitting under bubbles, also apac having to fight the same servers on repeat makes it even worse...

[random oak]

Yeah, I'm not starting armadas to get immediately body checked by a cloaked 70+ who doesn't even need to crew for PVP. Who is going to just risk wasting their armada directives? Especially when you also limited the scope to just one faction.

Basically have to cloak start every armada

[acoustic geyser]

Are they handing out armada directives free?

[spice yew]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-banana-laugh-haha-lol-gif-16113735

[round onyx]

the point was that maybe they stopped listening to the player council and rolled this out. i have no idea how you got there from what i originally posted but anything is possible i guess.

[harsh trail]

The only fun thing about stfc and they ruined it maybe for some the last push of saying goodbye 🖖🏽

[exotic arrow]

What armadas are not free?

[spice yew]

<@&509690795536941056>

I do understand some changes need to be done and some events are resurrected, e.g. Definitely "NOT SARRIS" invasion 2.0.

As much as I dislike the changes to incursion, as I really really LOVE to do endless armadas..not

I can forgive you, IF YOU BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL WAR ROOM SLB and ALB
Ensure shooting Red-Crossed players give more points.
And don't forget to make it at least a 2-day event, even better 3-day event.
Also include veil scoring.

[balmy shadow]

They basically know raiding is broken and have no clue how to fix it, solution? Raiding doesnt count anymore.

[empty arch]

I won’t pvp and trying to force me means I won’t be playing incursions at all. Why don’t you ask us what we want? Oh yeah you don’t care,.

[acoustic geyser]

Everyone in APAC is taking time off work on Friday for the new incursions right?

[hoary delta]

What are you guys complaining about??? They did this based on """"""user feedback""""" 😏 😉

[balmy shadow]

Ghost Player Advisory Council now in session

[hoary delta]

Also, I know Americans live to work but the rest of the world.... your "peak hours" being the 12 central hours of the day on a Saturday..... yeah, I'm definitely cancelling my weekend hikes and friends and family get togethers so I can do incursions. Totally worth my time
Keep it up, you guys doing great!

[hoary delta]

Can we please repost this message on repeat until the <@&509690795536941056> acknowledges it, tattoos it on their forehead and take it to the people making these decisions?

Raid sigma
Include PvE
Don't sell the 12 hours because it's what we wanted. You collect money with a crane but can't invest it to keep your servers from blowing up

[unborn field]

The ammount of people here complaining about a free game is totally insane. Just because you pay into it doesn't give people the right to be angry about things, or more specifically at people that have in some cases less power to change things than we do.

I think some of y'all need to grow up and start acting lie adults. If this was a pay to play service then sure, however the people that we as a community interact with are not the pin cushions half of y'all think they are. They're players and they're also people. Respect them as such and your feedback will likely go a lot farther than you treat people with respect.

The community as a whole really needs to do better with voicing Criticism and opinions in a more healthy way.

I am by no means saying scopely has not made mistakes before. Just be mindful of how your messages come across and the people on the other side.

[hoary delta]

Maybe I haven't read that far back but didn't see anyone being disrespectful to the mods and admis here.
Also, if you pay, it is no longer free.

[unborn field]

Just in general so many people get mad at the wrong people, and in regards to the second point, you make the choice to pay, the game is ultimately free (I'm speaking as a spender here)
A service is still free even if I choose to pay. That's my choice.

That's just my opinion though.

[chrome vortex]

So what you're saying is the night crew or the swing shift can't participating in incursions?. Also, we can't enjoy the day.

[harsh shuttle]

But you can still leave your bubbles down for the rest of us

[limber mesa]

with the reduction of pvp range, can you please separate the ability to scan from the ability to attack?
as alliance diplomat it can be incredibly frustrating that i can't access the profile of or open a chat with someone who has attacked an alliance member on a mining node.
and it's hard to advise alliance members if i can't see what loot a player has in their cargo.

i would really appreciate if it was possible to at least scan any player's ship to access their player/alliance profile regardless of ops difference.
there is no reason to tie the ability to pvp to this, especially when there is no such restriction on stations or free-floating ships.

another issue i have is that the pvp restrictions makes it harder for higher level players to protect lower level alliance members from attacks.

[raven jacinth]

Scopley just killed incursion

[unborn field]

Nevermind, I see what you mean. Yeah that's pretty annoying. I guess I never looked to see that because I don't see why they'd do that. 7 years and I never noticed that crazy

[raven jacinth]

What player feedback??? When??? Not our server's feedback??? Some sado crying because he forgot to shield and been raided??? I do the evening of incursion we won our Incursion multiple times due to our night crew

[limber mesa]

if they're on a node it says the resource where the name is.

[hybrid mulch]

it goes both ways - been here for many years and i can tell you the disrespect towards the community is real

[chrome vortex]

I agree. I told the other server to do that.

[delicate kite]

welcome to the deadest incursion to date.. I for one am not going to participate in this silly idea... who thought of this..

[mint crypt]

Raid is boring.

[cosmic coral]

https://tenor.com/view/simon-cowell-thats-a-no-its-a-no-its-a-no-from-me-gif-7663264

[umbral belfry]

So basically it's going to be like arena on steroids but that's been a flop from day one. Servers will need to be evenly matched for something like this to work. If not it's going to be like a duck hunt for some servers and a dry desert for others

[tranquil roost]

The 6 Clown Emoiji tells you all you need to know about the game 🙁

[prime arrow]

@tidal notch maybe the most laughable aspect of this whole thing is, they’re going back to the armada well to replace the raiding scoring. I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that the armada mechanic has been milked to absolute death. On a weekly basis, we’ve got 2 kinds of Continuum armadas to do. Two kinds of Krenim to do. G6 solos on Thursdays, Xindi on Wednesdays. You’ve recently added the Open Armadas and the Borg Conquerors, the latter of which has to be done weekly. They can’t seem to fix their outstandingly boring 6hr armada, Outposts, but we still have to try to do them to keep our supplies up and do our chest pulls. And for reasons I don’t understand, some people still mess with Apex. I’m getting long winded here, so I’ll cut to the chase. IT’S TIME FOR AN IDEA THAT DOESN’T INVOLVE ARMADAS, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT’S HOLY.

[sand talon]

fair opinion, not grounds to remove it as a scoring option 🙃

[crystal furnace]

Yes, let’s waste armada credits while the opposing server destroys said armadas while they are running. Seems like a good time to me… NOT

[cosmic knoll]

Tim Obrien would be very sad with the number of pop-ups in game, what you say chief?

[balmy shadow]

At least they saved us some pain and made it only 12 hours, we can all go get some fresh air, an ice cream, or play cards

[crystal furnace]

12 hr game of Discord spades? Anyone? 😂

Did you miss the quotation marks and the irony?

[vocal plover]

Yay!! They finally killed incursions!!

Yeah that sounds like more fun, honestly may try some of the discord built in games with my alliance mates

Apex are needed as a weekly source of officer badges that are on a slow drip

Ok, makes sense. Then add that to the list of weekly armadas we have to do.

or you could skip doing the apex armada's and buy your badges in alliance store pretty sure you can get more badges doing it with at store once per month that 4 times a month with apex

[wild hearth]

I do both, and it's still not enough to promote all of the officers that I have waiting (Command badges especially are in high demand)
Scopely almost helped out players by adding officer badges to the AT store, but of course gated them behind Master league, out of reach of most of the player base

[fluid mist]

yeah I kinda forgot about the league thing since I'm in master league. Yes I agree it still isn't enough but thst because I have been waiting so long to get enough badges that I have several teirs with most of the officer's and well scopley made it so we always be wanting something helps to bring on that pack buying they count on so much. I just don't bother with apex as there is too many other things in game that needs attention but thats just me

[tropic crown]

How is it broken?

[tropic crown]

They did that to force us into a fight. They always wanted us to fight over armadas and we refused. They can’t have that so let’s force them to fight!

[gaunt nacelle]

Or everyone can turtle up

[vestal pebble]

I don't know about you but I want to try out this new format. Isn't it a game about, to try out different aspects.

[final plinth]

"8:00 AM to 8:00 PM" for incursions is a silly joke. should have been noon to midnight.

[merry phoenix]

thats very generous if you get to start at 0800 cus for me thats 0500 on a saturday morning

[pine glade]

Mind you, "The event will now run from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM local time, with staggered start times for each region", so it may still only start at 8AM for you...either way they neutered a large amount of their players...1 (yes this time it is a Saturday), but ppl have Family plans and things they have to do on the weekend....2. When it falls during the week, many players will get like maybe 1 or 2 hrs. of play time, esp. if they work an 8 hr. job and have 1 or so hours of commute to and from their job.

[keen loom]

Again, Scopley can’t reduce the things no one cares about. So instead, they reduce the things that are actually fun. #voiceoftheplayer at work

[tropic crown]

Should be 24 otherwise no matter what you pick someone will get left outs

[graceful cedar]

It's gonna break so there's no need to debate.

[graceful cedar]

Oh, come on ..... you know that nothing they do actually makes sense or works in the real world. As long as THEY believe it, that's all that matters.

[torpid cargo]

Why is it that when I hit “Claim All” for the archives I still have to click “done” 7 times?

[loud cove]

Well I was excited for the reduction of the PvP ranges across the entire game, until I saw it still favors whales 👎🏼👎🏼 <@&509690795536941056>

[graceful cedar]

Looks like Incursion is going to be the next event to go because they're making it even more stupid than before.

[boreal ferry]

dw there’s functionally no difference between me being able to hit a 55 vs a 44 or whatever it was before except a half decent 55 should at least kill a non laced miner

[violet estuary]

Which ops level are you? You get badges from the rare g5 armada chests, make sure you have the f2p prime to get +1 chest.
Don't bother with the rare g4 chests though, they are crap.

[wild hearth]

Yep, already doing all of that, at Ops66. I don't think I've ever seen a badge from a G4 rare pull, though they're cheap enough to keep trying.

[torpid yew]

https://9gag.com/gag/aryLywp

[sinful walrus]

This would be bad if anyone wanted to check anything on stfc.space

[hoary delta]

I would pay, actually pay, to know what "player feedback" they are using.
My guess, based on what companies are adopting these days just because it is all the rage, they used AI to get the "summary" of players feedback and that thing had a massive hallucination together with a meltdown 😆

[boreal ferry]

of all the pointless features 🙄

[ripe hemlock]

AI never could be that wrong with a summary of what players asking for. its most likely human error or pure ignorance.

we told them multiple times already "fix the bugs and stop releasing new broken content!" and even the whales stopped spending and left the game.

imagine how blind someone in the higher management needs to be to ignore all the warnings that are pointing at the same direction: your businessmodel is failing hard!

[hoary delta]

Oh AI can be this wrong and worse.
But yes, definitely not the only thing to blame. This is also not human error although it is human "on purpose".
Never forget," it's not a bug, it's a feature" and my favorite one "it's by design" 😆

[haughty sail]

It's not me, that's for sure

[ripe hemlock]

and dont forget: always blame the customer on your own faults

[brazen prism]

remove this nonsense, you have constant wat or restart or travel to other systems 🥴

[ivory rain]

Scope is so blinded by their own delusions these days, they don't even realize how they've ruined the game by resting on their laurels and losing touch with reality.

[vivid nebula]

They use imaginary player feedback 😂

[hollow plover]

just move a µm to circumvent this useless anti-bot mechanics

[tranquil grail]

can we get a "Communications Log" prime or something?

I didn't even log into another device this time or anything -.-

[keen loom]

The irony in asking a marketing company for a paid communication anything when they haven’t even mastered communication as is would render a paid service completely worthless. Par for the course.

[cosmic knoll]

i think they looked at daycare centers and thought: we can do that for communications.

[signal raft]

randomly didn't bother to score <@&509690795536941056>

[signal raft]

something else scopely decided was too helpful and worked too well so they had to acquire it so they could kill it. Probably prepping for new paywall

[signal raft]

I feel like they missed an oppourtunity with this diagram

New incursions ain't it....but neither was old incursions. Just replace it with a pay to win / pay to play event like you do with everything else already 😂

[violet estuary]

I have an idea <@&509690795536941056> - let's do free to claim Strongboxes for the Outpost Loop - then Outposts don't need to be fixed and we don't have to bother running them. Win win.

[gentle dagger]

LAG!

[wise vale]

This game is so badly coded, I’m concerned about how secure my personal information is.

[neon atlas]

That's not including what they syphon and sell from the store and website.

I'd like to exercise my CCPA rights, and any GDPR users should as well. Find out what they and their brokers have collected and have them delete it

[wise vale]

I’m in NY but if you succeed, I’m sure i could wrangle a class action group for Tish James

BTW, thats more information than an amateur like me would need to at least begin a doxx.

[fluid mist]

when it comes to games in today's age(past 20 odd years) your personal information isn't your's its everyone else's with all the monetization going on in games.

Pathetic to say tbh but only way to keep what's yours is to never buy anything electronically and the world would never resort to that because ppl hate carrying around money

[wise vale]

i dont play a lot of games, but i understand the need to grab info. I get it. Im talking about the swiss cheese of code that makes upthis game.

[fluid mist]

ya this game does take the cake on what not to do to run a successful business for the long term. Then again if you want a get rich quick business model then this one might be a good fit for you rofl.

[wise vale]

Again, its not about my PI being shared with a large corporation. Its sbout the fact that large corporation could conceivably just leave it for someone else to find.

Lookit, I’ve been on the Net for nearly forty years, since i used to telnet to The Well to slag people. I’m well aware of the inherent dangers because I’ve been doxxed more times than i can remember, even.

But to my mind, Nopely makes it almost a guarantee that they’ll be hacked hard.

[potent blade]

My tournaments just froze up on me. It won't let me change items and there is not a challenge running

[neon atlas]

A breach of the website would expose a lot more sensitive information, connecting email address to account name which could lead to simple searches of addresses and phone numbers.

Back to the screenshots of the data brokers they use, if possible, request the information be deleted. Adjust has a process here:
https://www.adjust.com/security/ but I haven't found one for Bugsnag. If Bugsnag and Scopely don't provide one then they are in violation of CCPA and GDPR law

[wise vale]

One hopes that the recent shift towards doing away wit( passwords in favor of a passcode will prevent a lot of the website concerns. And where money is involved, one would hope the coder is not the guy who implemented Outposts 😁

[waxen patio]

sounds like a good change 👍

[livid stone]

@tidal notch I like some of the changes in that recent announcement. Echoes getting guaranteed drops helps, and the last Cota having Cochran is better than what I was expecting. Thanks!

[wooden spire]

In over 30 years of playing games, this is the buggiest and most predatory game I’ve had the misfortune of encountering. What a vile company. Ruining Star Trek.

[karmic meadow]

@tidal notch so is scopley actually going to listen to the player base? And the clear overall msg that your incrusions changes suck?...Im guessing no....and more will quit. This game is starting to feel like a sinking ship...

[prime arrow]

If you’re gonna run COTA, it probably makes sense to align the other interim events to meet it. It looks like you’ve got an Excelsior Upgrade event and a Maverick research event running on days that won’t align with when they’ll score in COTA. That’s suboptimal.

[proper narwhal]

<@&509690795536941056>
If you're not even capable of getting the game to run, please spare us the intrusive pop-ups of special offers.😡

[quick gale]

What the hell is this now!

[balmy shadow]

Positivity? Am I awake?

[sturdy nymph]

<@&509690795536941056> Seriously? Not even a single peep, after that much players expressed their feelings with the incursions change? Great job! You should be proud of yourself!

[hybrid mulch]

it's only when anyone paid by scopely gets involved, then it goes downhill quickly

[umbral gull]

Is there a way to send myself back to ops 60 where there will be a bit of activity in the game vs the sleep mode that is g6 g7?

The pvp ranges are going to drown me to sleep now

[rapid sorrel]

When I target a hostile it opens the cargo view, something is wrong with the game

[finite mural]

are you using the community mod?

[mild thicket]

looks like you're using the community mod

If so, i think there's an option when you configure it to switch that on/off

[lunar tendon]

You are hitting on the wrong folks, nobody on their Discord Team is high enough to make such decisions. If you want to see chances, stop playing the Game and/or stop spending money on it.

Besides the Incursion turning to a Farmville Event we have current other issues - Server run like crap. I assume Scopely or the Saudis didn't paid their bills or switched to a lower Tier at AWS. Otherwise i can't find a reasonable explanation why we have since weeks such issues doesn't matter what aspects of the Game you look at.

[sturdy nymph]

They are supposed to be the interface between the company and the players, so no i don’t think i am. And your full on spot with the performance problems which they promised to address and barely did so far. It’s a shame really.

[lunar tendon]

I don't see the Mods or Staff here as any Mediators for us at all. Scopely did cut those a couple of weeks ago since they told them too many times that they are doing their job not better but each month worse: #⭐-official-announcements message

So of course since then things do not turned to the better but worse since their was no one there to tell them on a weekly base to put their heads out of their a... and fix whatever is broken.

But as always when you believe we reached the bottom, someone at Scopely has to proof that there is plenty of stuff they can screw up on top of what is already broken 😄

[sturdy nymph]

There’s not even new problems to talk about. Stability and reasonable performance are foundations for such a game, nothing done on that front. I mean come on we live in times where such software can be built from ground up in a matter of weeks. I am a developer myself and i have zero tolerance for that kind of problems. Patches ain’t gonna cut it no more. Even though i‘ve never seen the code i can tell you there are major design problems and not simply the questionable reliability of AWS.

[lunar tendon]

Maybe they are just mining Bitcoins on those AWS Servers instead of just running the Game Server Client. God knows what those MTX Monger at their office came up this time to screw us all over.

[ripe hemlock]

i have a second theory on that:

• devs cant code properly and only release broken stuff
• the updates never get tested before releasing it to the live servers
• players happen to be the alphatesters and start reporting bugs and complain
• scopely pretends everything is working as intended until riots starting
• scopely then "apologizes" and promises to do better
• back to square 1

sometimes they are just happy to shift blame to either AWS or simply the users ("you are using it wrong" or "working as intended" or "we cant reproduce the bug")

[lunar tendon]

It's not AWS Server or else we would see other Game Developer reporting similar issues and looking for alternatives but i see nowhere any reports that would indicate a issues with them.

Hence it's Scopely that does screwed up again and i am by now wondeirng if anyone of those that have at least some parts of their brain cells working is actually working on it or cutting events smaller (see Incursion) to make the issues less obvious.

[ripe hemlock]

there was one incident where AWS went down on middle east for obcious reasons (serverfarm got hit by drone attack)

actually they are in full damage control mode and cutting corners/working on symptoms

[lunar tendon]

If you are in full damage mode you usually try to avoid cutting events and focus on what is most important -> Server/Game Client stability but it has gooten over the last two months only wose so i don't see anyone at their code monkeys actually working on it at the current moment.

Without new Events where people spent money on will kill the Game, i am aware of that so i don't blame them for adding new MTX to the Game but at the same time we are into the second months were the Server run worse then in 2025 and this is something that should had been adressed by now.

[sturdy nymph]

Maybe someone thinks the code will evolve on it‘s own 😉

[lunar tendon]

With Unity?. Never going to happen.

[sullen lodge]

Scopely, you promised transparency. If the Mega Cubes will return, please tell us when. If they are gone forever, please tell us why.

[mild thicket]

We probably killed them all

[ripe hemlock]

skynet from HR wants to speak with you...

😄

[sturdy nymph]

Well i wonder how ROBLOX manages it with 40 Million Players. We only have somewhere around 250k.

[mild thicket]

Roblox frequently suffers from network issues, so it's not the best game to compare it to

[sturdy nymph]

Ok try WOW with 5-7 Million active players

[neon atlas]

How much lag is from bugs and data harvesting? 🤔

[gentle dagger]

constant Laggggg server 76

[lunar ocean]

Way to try to paint having fewer free treasuries as a good thing...

[keen loom]

If you haven’t realized it, know this about Scopley:

New code is always farmed out to the lowest cost provider.

Testing does not exist pre release.

Scopley will not fix multi year issues.

Greed drives every decision made.

Lastly, feedback is ignored unless it shines light on a revenue stream they have missed.

[coral dagger]

Ghost hostiles are still here, just now they don't go away when you click on them

Game died opening chests, terrific

[weary elm]

Ghost hostiles are still in WAVES

[prime arrow]

Ghost hostiles still present, outposts still broken, Dauntless still breaks in Surges, lag everywhere…

Starting to have a real “Now you do plan to have dinosaurs on your Dinosaur Tour” feeling here.

[torpid cargo]

And the GS31 beam takes 3 to 4 business weeks to fire.

[hushed sparrow]

<@&509690795536941056> quick question, when do the new PvP bands go in to effect?

[ivory plinth]

<@&509690795536941056> quick question. I’m OPS 42, and as I read the news I won’t be able to raid anyone above OPS 55 any more? If that’s true, it’s a mess. If I get shot from a 55 or 69 really doesn’t matter, but not being able to take part in raidings our Ally does together feels like … one more time excluded from main parts of this game.

[prime arrow]

This is why this is so stupid.

[vestal pebble]

Code never involves on its own, well it kinda does but you need someone to direct it to the right socket so to say, so again human intervention is required.

[cyan isle]

Testimony to bugs not being fixed is destroying your game. I use to love waves. I did 8/10 a day. I joined every single one. I now hate doing waves. From all the bugs. They destroyed the experience. And now waves are a negative experience. I rarely do a solo wave because it’s a garbage experience now. You’re losing activities. Game becoming less fun. You won’t make money. The end.

[wet fiber]

I feel this is quite accurate how they 'fix' issues from some people faster than others. Which makes sense since what do they even care about the frustration of 200 players buying only the battle pass when there's 1 whale spending 5K every week, that 1 whale still spends more than those 200 players so naturally they prefer to keep just 1 player happy instead of the majority of the player base, it's also a lot less effort they need to do

The end game is having just 1 server merged from all the rest with only the whales left that pay their paycheck every month

I can't wait to see them release G5 scrapping supposedly next month, i want to put money on it that there will be a paywall as well in some form 🤣

[cyan isle]

They’ve ruined their own source of income. They’ve denied us fun. Denied us what we paid for. Denied us paths to improve. They are killing what’s left with bugs

[analog tartan]

Arenas and surges are useless because they don't work as expected. i'm choosing to opt out of that, which is a shame.... they both have tremendous opportunities but aren't fully worked out

[coral dagger]

Everything new is released broken and never fixed which makes not buying into any of it a very easy choice

[tropic crown]

Limiting the base I can raid so much might just be a deal breaker for me. I think I will start looking for a new game to play not sure I will hang around with all these “improvements” they got coming. One of few ways I can help my fleet is by raiding bases and now that’s getting nerfed.

[tropic crown]

That’s the point you’re not spending enough money to ops up fast enough for them.

[balmy plume]

im getting really sick of these stupid popups trying to sell me garbage

[ivory rain]

aggressive marketing... is getting more and more pathetic, the game

[flint river]

game after last update very slugish, ships not responding, repair menus jumping through different kind of options before you can click repair, ships don't move after attack order, all sorts of things very unpleasant for playing

[ivory rain]

[b]]This is what happens when you search for STFC via Google.[/b]

Complaints about the mobile and PC game Star Trek Fleet Command (STFC) frequently concern technical issues, game design, and customer support. Here are the main points based on player feedback:
Common Complaints & Problems:

Technical Instability: The game crashes frequently, especially on mobile devices.

Cluttered User Interface (UI): Players find the UI cluttered, difficult to navigate, and overloaded with constant new features and content.

Support Issues: There are reports of long wait times or generic support responses for serious issues (e.g., not receiving items/mission rewards).

Game Mechanics & Events: Frustration arises from the "event store" system, the need to search in multiple locations for content, and balance issues.

"Unplayability": In extreme cases, players report situations where the game is barely playable due to bugs.

[barren folio]

The game is not counting my kills towards dailies ……………

[hybrid urchin]

Well google got it correct on the game description as it is real bad and it seems no one high up at scopley cares about the game and seems they would greatly appreciate us all shut up and pay up at a large markup for little rss we get from them

[fallen spear]

Yet (unfortunately) quite some players still keep throwing their money at $copely. Left, right and center. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[flint river]

Make refining mats in refinery relevant again. The tiny amount of mats you get from refinery is ridiculous and insignificant.

[keen loom]

Yep. Amazing they have not figured out that the handful of whales still spending $5k a month isn’t going to keep all of Scopley STFC team employed.

[keen loom]

Scopley just saw this as “we want to mine more.” Just wait.

[flint river]

we mine anyways, for dailies. It would be pointless otherwise, such is the refining. basically we are at events mercy and generosity of Scopely in what they chose to give, because refining gives nothing

[dreamy arch]

This is supposed to be a pvp game not Farmville js. Second 5 pm to 5am for incursions on a Friday is absurd I work a 10 hr day im not staying up till 5 am to do 12 hrs of incursions who's bright idea was this.

[tardy copper]

I’m at 196 out of 200🤣

[steep summit]

Any chance of fixing the horrendous lag on eu servers android, anytime this century?

[meager hollow]

<@&509690795536941056> I am sure most new ops 71 players agree with me, can we have some better scoring mechanics for this event, or updated milestones? becausee killing 80xlvl 71 hostiles is just too much, dailies already require 50x, so this adds another 30x on top, if you can only kill 71s which I believe is still the case for the majority of early g7 players who are still working towards getting the vengeance...

[coral dagger]

Don't worry, you can also go to the high Hazard systems and spend a bunch of time killing things you don't need on the chance some 71s spawn.

[solar sun]

Dear Scopely!

You really need to get rid of all the 10 pts per kill 3 days ALB. It does nothing good to help players engage in the game. All it does is to get players to put all their ships out in lower level auto-grinding systems before logging out of the game to play another more interesting game.

Again, not sure to what player or employees you are listening to when you came up with that kind of event but you should fire the employees and stop listening to those players and start listening to players that really care about PLAYING the game. AUTO-GRINDING while away from the game is NOT PLAYING the game.

Sincerly, ChuckNorris

[wary kayak]

Sliders for AT Store please

[rare vale]

Personally, with all the other things this game expects you to complete in the course of a day, I welcome autogrind events such as these.

[south mauve]

Could you re-open the fermenting store. It shuts down the day before the other event stores!

[finite mural]

ferengi store will reopen tomorrow

[solar sun]

I don't care about the auto-grinding for personal game growth..... but I think for ALBs players should be PLAYING the game and not scoring points while being away from the game.

We already have mining ALBs for that....

[cloud vortex]

Dear lovely Scopely ❤️ Could you PLEASE extend the ferengi shop claim for one more day?! ❤️

[finite mural]

the ferengi store will be reopened tomorrow....

[proper narwhal]

Excellent work Scopely, more and more players are fleeing our server, your bugs have done an excellent job and are driving away the people who indirectly pay your wages.

I despise this color scheme. It makes me think I failed at something instead of making the milestones.

[ivory plinth]

If they want me OPS up faster, a first idea could be to give me upcoming G4-Blueprints instead of long-time-gone G3-ships.
Giving a chance to be competitiv growing would rather lead to try catching up than minimazing everything needed.
Give Realta-skins or hailing frequencies to the shop, but don’t expect everyone buys epic crystal and shipparts daily, Scopely.

Maintenance on a Thursday? I thought the whole idea of Tuesdays being maintenance days it that there are to TDs?

Please tell the people that closed it they're doing a fantastic job 🤦‍♀️

[lilac oar]

I'm sure there are many like me who do a ton of hostile grinding for the COW. It would be a great thing if the Hostile and chest limits could be removed for at least this event. Better yet remove them alltogether.

[civic haven]

Criticisms are the ceast of my worries

[vestal pebble]

Nobody pressuring you to spend and frustration does not help, emitting a word again doesnt make it alright.

[jade inlet]

I have read that the Ferengi store will indeed reopen tomorrow, but Im gonna post my original comment anyway.

I wish that the days that the event store for the monthly Ferengi event was consistent month to month. Last month I made sure to spend all my Ferengi tokens before reset on the final Monday of the BP in a rush to not get stuck with them, meaning I didn't have time to use them wisely. Then they reopened the Ferengi event store for 2 more days.

This time I decided not to try to spend them at the end bc I anticipated the store would be open 2 more days. I wanted to wait til the tournament ended and use all my credits for both stores in conjunction with each other. For example, using both to get war emblems to maximize upgrades to my War Room.

I logged in to do that only to find the store has not been reopened for 2 more days like in the past. All I want is some consistency. There are so many things to do and plan for in this game. It's only fair to have some predictability so ppl don't waste the credits we spent money to get with elite track season passes.

So, the new strategy is blatant false advertising? 🤔

I ran over the daily hostile limit again. This is kind of a pain with the dozens of types of loot we have to keep restocking for all the excessive types of refineries.

[river spindle]

Have you tried punching up to reduce the number of hostiles you need to hit?

[river spindle]

STFC will probably release G5 scrapping on April 1 and the g6/sigma stuff from each scrap of maxed epic 60 ship will be so horribly puny, the whole playerbase will think it was an April Fool’s joke.

[acoustic geyser]

You will get your 5 sigma trit and be happy 🤣

[obsidian gazelle]

Scooper miscalculated the G4 scrapping rewards. Rewards are too lucrative and Scoops is trying to figure a way to backpedal. Scooper feels if players get any rewards for free, it's stealing..

If you can't be bothered to fix anything..i can't be bothered to buy anything.

[fast anvil]

but you gotta buy stuff for them to have the money to fix stufff

[somber orchid]

Get spending then

[fast anvil]

yea u can spend for me thx 😂

[cosmic knoll]

I understand the final CotA starts tomorrow, so i have a question:

should i stockpile for the final final CotA? or play the long game and stockpile for the final final final CotA?

[limpid sphinx]

Dear Scopely. Weekly Maverick Tasks reset today! The fact that my ability to buy a solo key is still on cooldown for 1-1/2 days cause it apparently is tied to reset based on when I unlocked the ability to buy them rather then the actual day the tasks resets is an incredibly assnine oversight on the part of whatever incompetent "programmer" is writing your code as it now shorts me 2 days for the weekly tasks. Please fire said incompetant and fix this ASAP.

[obsidian gazelle]

Be sure to collect the max daily ferengi rewards. All the rewards are meh.. so at least get something you want

[latent timber]

Scopely has same mentality with CotA as me with pints in the pub.... one LAST pint lol

[signal raft]

ahh that moment of pure relief and clarity when you submit your account deletion form 🙂 ops 71 ---> No ops at all)

[wintry crag]

Repairing ships has become a pain and very costly, dunno if its just lagg but you now end up spending lat instead of asking for help. Also base raiding has become very very boring. Probably why its removed from Incursions.

[slender monolith]

It is just lag and your muscle memory. If you wait, and don't just jab the screen, it will change to the help button.

[tepid bramble]

You are wasting my time again…I bust my daily limit for absolutely NOTHING of value.

And as you can see, only the biggest players are actually able to have a shot.

With crap like this, why even bother. 🙄🤨

Stuff I cannot even use because you won’t make a conversion

[north meteor]

Naw, raiding as primary scoring had to go because it was too easy to sabotage. Every server has 1000+ people who were individually capable of making your server lose an incursion. There's no effective way to stop them, either, if they're even halfway smart.

[harsh shuttle]

Fix this "lag"

[harsh shuttle]

Luckily, there are not a 1000 people on any server that are even halfway smart.

Also, what server are you on that you have a thousand whales capable of throwing the incursion?

[radiant crypt]

My game getting slower with every update

[fluid mist]

1000s of people you must be on either a new server or a recently merged server no server thats been here for more than 5 years has that many consistent people logging in during an incursions. Also if they do have that type of population and rss rich yall ain't really raiding during the time incursions ain't on are you rofl.

[lime zealot]

@tidal notch anyone else flagged this?

And even after leaving the node and refreshing the game, my Feesha is empty...

[sour mauve]

Is Customer service shut down no response for 5 days unbelievable

Not only does nothing work that they said works now customer service doesn't respond or blows you off by closing a conversation before its completed Scopely batting a 1000

[tepid bramble]

really?! The “last” CotA and THIS is the sms and personal SLB’s?

Yeah, nonsense. You really do hate your players.

Stupid Ferengi tokens, well at least we know now why that store came back 🤨

Not interested. You can keep CotA if that’s how you’re going to be.

And yes, “I” was one of those folks who was able to unlock the new Dukat with CotA. Through delayed gratification.

Once again, you show your true colors and lack of integrity and respect.

[ruby cargo]

Instead of all this new stuff perhaps gocus on FIXING THIS GD THING!

[red rover]

Proque os pontos estão diminuindo não vai subir mais

Proque está diminuindo os pontos

[coral dagger]

No Reliant Parts in the Ferengi Store now?

[red rover]

Agora tá em 260 pq

[iron thorn]

@raw fiber Any more info regarding the server mergers? And is 704/705 still not getting a bye from incursions?

[cosmic coral]

Stop releasing new rubbish and fix the multitude of issues with the game - listen to your players, they don't want new content until all the issues are fixed!!! How hard is that to understand???

[tepid bramble]

They just brought BACK the store that was up is my guess, rather than create a new instance. So if you already hit the limit they won’t show now.

[trail zinc]

Why a valentine pack?

[coral dagger]

Doesn't matter, just buy

[trail zinc]

No lol

[kind vale]

Reading the blog on the new officer, it seems like Scopely thinks officer are the big reason players don’t participate in Open Armadas. I really hope they understand the issue is the loot/rewards and directive sourcing.

[sour dew]

Echoes of V'GER is actually the essence of Sarris. Good Cover-up though 👌🏼😂😂😂
Scopley thinks we're actually non-intelligent lifeforms.

[kind vale]

My alliance hasn’t done Open Armadas since day 1 and we have all agreed there is no reason to do them anytime soon

Player trust is at an all time low. Game quality, content decisions, and Scopely randomly choosing when to enforce their TOS is killing the game faster every month.

[umbral gull]

I've played every incursion from start to finish previously and i will no longer be taking part in them 👀

[coral dagger]

There's no reason to have a 72s in the 70/71 system. There's a whole system of 72s two systems over.

[river spindle]

Unless the reason is to spam fill the system with hostiles players can’t hit, so the chance of players completing vger fatu events is even lower

[sour mauve]

Too bad they dont take pride in the work or even have the trust of your players fail fail and yet fail again

[wet fiber]

I knew i should've known better than to have hope in any form or kind 🤣

[coral dagger]

So they moved the previous 71 system from Pobal-K which was all 71s to Kithmor which is 70-72, and then they gave the 71s the HHP stats of what was previously 72s, and 72s the HHP of previous 73s while introducing a Crit Floor for them. Good job guys keep up the terrific work.

[unreal geyser]

Is the treasury supposed to be live?

[wise quest]

Grouping different levels of hostiles in one system is really dumb, it's made the systems 3x as busy on what is already a very grindy event.

[coral dagger]

They're removing some scheduled Treasuries and moving them to unscheduled instead

[unreal geyser]

Wait....is the Treasury that supposedly just opened.....OPS LOCKED?!?

[azure pike]

Let's raise the hostile reward cap from 2,000 to...actually, let's remove the hostile reward cap entirely.

[sour mauve]

@valid ridge nothing new they have been doing that from the beginning

[valid ridge]

Oh I know. It's just that this is the most egregious example I've seen yet. And I used to see a LOT of ads for Rise of Kindoms (which I used to play years ago)

[tawdry moat]

Ops 66, last treasury i saw was a few weeks ago, i was ops 65 but it had 58.2m lat. why is the amount lower when i gain a level?

Usually the amount increase with ops levels

Confirmed with a friend that is ops 70, 44m doesn’t make sense something is worng <@&509690795536941056>

[finite mural]

Bonus treasury has less mats/latinum

in exchange for specific shards

[tawdry moat]

So when would be the next "normal" treasury?

[rigid ledge]

~3 weeks

[vivid terrace]

When Ferengi Store reopened why wasn’t it reset? Another half hearted promise from Scopely

[latent timber]

they all got trash amounts of mats.....

[vague grotto]

Bonus treasury has less mats and latiunum, but costs the same ?

[unreal geyser]

and is ops-locked....

[mild cobalt]

So did y'all at scopely just give up? Or is the current state of things with the horrendous lag, skipping, buttons taking 2-4 presses before anytime happens, lock ups every few minutes, hanging menus and UI that force restarts, and all the rest of the stuff that's been getting worse every week for nearly a year with no updates? Cause if this is just how it is now, at least have the bare minimum courtesy to let everyone know so we can just quit now instead of wasting even more time on this endless dumpster fire of empty promises.

[dawn cave]

Do you mind putting the VGer bio ships back in the aggregate systems so we don't have to fight over the few 70s that spawn in the two systems that have them. No one really wants to bother with the 68/69s.

All the aggregate systems

We can do without aggregates for a few days

Seriously did someone complain they should be spread out over the galaxy map, well you got that one wrong listening to that feedback.

Change it back like last time please, bet that's a quick fix, but you won't do it.

[dawn cave]

What my friend said 👍

He knows his stuff

[dawn cave]

Yes they should be using the aggregate systems like last time, what an own goal they made of it now. 😂

[ruby cargo]

I just got this message moving a miner in transogen space your alliance must own this Zone before you can mine here. And it took 5 minutes before I could move that minor because this kept popping up

[dawn cave]

<@&509690795536941056>

I genuinely feel sorry for you to have to try and give this feedback back to the relevant people, but please for the love of god put this event back in the original systems you had when you did it first.

[river spindle]

It was intentional, to mess with players, so not own goal at all

[dawn cave]

Wouldn't surprise me in the least

Well I can mess with them back and just not do the event

[river spindle]

This is the way

[unreal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/book-of-boba-fett-the-mandalorian-this-is-the-way-the-book-of-boba-fett-mandalorian-gif-24825263

[tough saddle]

Thanks scopley for completely ruining this game for us. Incursion was the only fun pvp, but that's over now that we don't have to raid. Fuge this company 🤌

[steel ridge]

When will the borg event come back? Can we get this in the monthly rotation?

If this event is going away can we get a heads up so we can spend everything please? <@&509690795536941056>

[prime arrow]

<@&509690795536941056> did Scopely intend to upscale ALL the hostiles in the game, or just the V’ger 8472s? Because at the moment, it’s ALL hostiles. EVERYWHERE. DISREGARD: a game restart fixed the issue.

[dense belfry]

remove the radiation from these systems, specialy during the current event. It only shows Scopely has no clue and doesn't play the game (enough) themselfs.

Feedback has been given before and nothing changes, so dont know why i'm bothering with it, stfc going dead anyways

[vital rock]

As a new hostile introduce DEV's and give them no skills to be lore accurate

[lyric otter]

Guys I think someone broke the VGer 8472’s they’ve gone from difficult but manageable to what are the dev’s playing at.

Bonus points for putting some of the hostiles in hazard systems where people of that level can’t protect themselves 👍

[flint smelt]

I'm beginning to think that when Scopely says innovation, it's just a clever way to say new and never-before-seen bugs.

[marsh cobalt]

Erst wird cota per update news abgesagt, für immer. Es kommt nie wieder. Aus und vorbei. Schön Event zum ausgeben der mats machen und dann nochmal schön 2 cota hinterher zu schieben. Scopely hatse doch nicht mehr alle. Es sind dann das letzte cota, das allerletzte Cota und vielleicht doch noch ein allerallerletztes cota. Man weis es einfach nicht. Echt zum kotzen wie ihr die Spieler verarscht.

[finite raft]

<@&509690795536941056>
Love that you guys let us know about the upcoming officer letting us choose how to handle the last CotA!! Well done!! 🙂

[rigid ledge]

The players wanted a final cota
You cant blame them for following that 🤦‍♂️

[rocky cosmos]

<@&509690795536941056> @raw fiber What's happening with the Territory Capture Season Pass on server 401? I've completed every TC event since the start of the season and I'm still about 36k points short of completeing the Season Pass, but you've ended the current TC season early? Will we get compenstation? Will we get a refund for the now useless Elite Season Pass?

[lavish valve]

It’s an absolute nightmare. I’m in the top 25% of players at my level on my server and i have calculated I will have to kill 600 hostiles and repair 50 to 60 times just to complete the SMS - never mind the heroic. Total utter waste of time

[coral dagger]

It's full skip

They messed up the stats of the hostiles but haven't acknowledged it at all

[ocean surge]

Vger hostiles inside and outside the invasion events scopely run have been one of the biggest mistakes added to the game in recent memory over powered hostiles where you have to throttle down to the bare minimum to make any headway and spend hours upon hours of time grinding them out Scopely has helped turn the Star trek Brand into a bigger joke than Micheal Burnhams cryface

[vocal gorge]

V'ger 8472 is nowhere near accessible.. my ships/ crews are overpowered for 51 taking out 6 billion hostiles. At least fix the scoring tab, remove the 35-50s you've done away with.

[grim obsidian]

<@&509690795536941056> Just in case you haven't received this feedback a couple hundred times, Having us sign into the website close to every day, even though we are on the same device, is a huge failure in programming and does a major disservice to your customers / player base. At Minimal I ask that you extend the period of time that you can be signed in, to a week. Every day is overkill!

[meager hollow]

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> or anyone else that can make the above feedback reach the devs - please listen to players when they ask for sensible and logical changes... these hostiles should be spawning in systems where they match the system's level, and not with a level range as usual. also, makes no sense to have these hostiles in systems with hazards for lower ops players to die of hazard dmg... just change it back to the aggregate systems as it was before, don't understand why you change something like this and never inform the players, it is complete disrespect for the few of us that are still here playing dispite all the bugs, lag and problems in the last couple of years

[finite mural]

The feedback was relayed earlier on.

[meager hollow]

thank you. hope for good news then 🖖

[pure plover]

Based on scopelys record, I wouldn't hold my breath on good news from feedback

[ripe hemlock]

thats not true. people wanted cota back permanently

[signal raft]

NO ONE asked for a final COTA, players said they didn't want it stopping not for one last COTA out of the blue like that

How long does an account delete take after they have verified your deets, need to arrange a celebration

[rare vale]

I saw far more people hating COTA than loving it. It had (and still has) unreasonable milestones for mediocre rewards.

[signal raft]

yeah I never liked it, still thinking them bringing back for this one final time after saying it was gone is nothing but another shady cash grab

[ripe hemlock]

but it made officers acessible for f2p players at least. now the f2p got nerfed

It had (and still has) unreasonable milestones for mediocre rewards
not jusz cota - every time vs reward is unbalanced in this game

[vast nest]

Usually within a month, sometimes only a couple of days

[signal raft]

F2P always gets nerfed, they will wake up one day with only a few whales playing because the annoyed all the FTP into leaving...and you know the whales will soon get bored with no one else around

[signal raft]

wooooooooo 🙂

[sour mauve]

Everything they do is a shady cash grab for the 🐋

[crystal furnace]

The whales will miss their cannon fodder…

[lunar ocean]

Annorax should be updated to affect this Echoes of V'Ger stuff since Fatu Krey scraps no longer exist

[patent raft]

Interesting that the focus has changed on the events - eliminate lower level vger 8472s then take the upper level hhp and bring them down to lower levels ie starting at 72 to make it harder - and screw the lower levels and folks who need food on the table instead of investing in a buggy game (ie can’t finish wave events - at wave 3 the game crashes then lose connection with scopely - I get in and all my ships are destroyed) - fun times

[red rover]

Pq a pontuação tá diminuindo do jogo

[rare vale]

The previous format use to be perfectly good for FTP players, but every week, scopely pushed the milestones to be worse and worse, and after about 2 years, they made them pretty much impossible for anyone but spenders or players who literally saved everything to spend once a month. Heck, I was the later, and even then, id get 2 milestones at best towards the end of the pre COTA era.

Oh, and during that time when milestones were realistic, event rewards in general were worthwhile. Now, events are often awful in both scoring and rewards, which has made this game lean more towards boring than it ever has.

[winged crest]

Is there ANY FRIGGEN WAY that you devs at Scopely can fix the gdmn Alliance and player lists on the friggen servers??????!!!!???
The alliance page on 711 has alliances from different servers on the list n so do the player listings!!!! You would think after a full year of complaining the devs would get their act togeather and fix it but so far no dice!! It makes it hard to recruit..makes it hard to make decisions in the game and is basically LAZY as all get out.. ..Please fix this!!!!!

[weak grove]

also there were more events. you could actually make progress by doing events. now it's one event per day with bad rewards. i was bored most of the month >.>

and @winged crest they haven't fixed that for 5 years now xD i woulnd't bet a dime on it they will ever do it

[keen loom]

Speaking of junk that never gets fixed….. how about resolving war room claims…. Before the game is end of life.

You know, while we’re all young.

It’s completely absurd to have as broken a product as you have, and then loathe the customer base when they demand fixes. This junk reminds of the Windows 3.1 blue screen.

[opal warren]

Missing System ID holder showing the New V’Ger hostiles.Lanasta has them.

[humble furnace]

the tag is there

[opal warren]

Not been on my screen all night

God knows this game never crashes and requires a relaunch every 4 minutes.

[kindred sphinx]

So what brain surgeon at Scopely thought it was a good idea to make both the level 62 and 63 bioship systems hazard systems? Low 60's level players' strongest ships tend to be the G5 epics, se we have to punch way down to score enough points. I am strong enough to hit th e63's and 64's but my best ships still die a quick death in those systems.

Not only that, I get to compete with all the level 65-68 players in the level 61 bioship system because they are a bunch of pansies.

[untold fern]

its not that they're pansies, its because scopely made these stupid hostiles too hard so everyone has to punch down

[balmy shadow]

I can punch at par, they are crazy hard though

[kindred sphinx]

Love competing against level 70's in the SLB as a 63 also... lol. No chance at top 25. If I grind for the next 10 hours, I MIGHT make top 50.

[acoustic geyser]

Well that's your fault you aren't ops 70 get moving 🤣🤣🤣

[kindred sphinx]

All I have been doing tonight is hitting 60-62 bioships, my vault is already open, and I am stuck at rank 63. On the bright side, I am only 2 hulls from being done with the Heroic SMS, Lol.

[fast anvil]

woah vger silents rerun again when we complained about it last month . tone deaf as always. cant wait to grind till the hostile limit to be able to pull once for all the chests

[open turret]

Any chance of ever being able to max our FTs. It is a bit bad they show max values that can never be obtained. Can we all just get a gift of some Assessment rank in Q-trials or can we get the actual items changed to where level 55 is max??????????? This is pretty crazy that it has never been fixed. <@&509690795536941056>

[fast anvil]

i guess its intended? considering theyve released 2 other versions of 'FTs' chaos tech and prototype tech and they still havnt increased it

[coral dagger]

They actually just have no idea we can't currently max them out

It was brought up months ago, they were surprised to learn it, then promptly forgot about it

[open turret]

Now that is out of touch.

[fast anvil]

now thats something that i expect from scopely

[river spindle]

They know it. They just can’t publicly acknowledge it because they would then probably have to refund $ to players that paid for max FTs but only got 11/12 out of them.

[stone kestrel]

Just wanted to say that the new solos that came with the maverick faction are absolutely pointless, they're way too hard for the pittance of rewards they offer. I'm OPS62 and without buffs I can manage 2 58s per run, which affords me one chest of 130 maverick credits every two days. If I go all out on buffs I can do a 60, but even then I'd need two a day for the chest. 130 credits does not buy anything in the store and is an insult. Not wasting my time trying to aim for higher ones, it's just not worth the effort.

[sage wadi]

Everything fine 🤪

[peak scarab]

<@&509690795536941056>
Since there's already information about Update 89, I'd like to share my expectations for this update. First and foremost, the update should bring more stability. Constantly restarting the app because some display isn't updating is annoying. Additionally, I expect changes to the faction shop. It can't be right that it takes about 20 minutes to collect everything. This time estimate is only accurate if the app doesn't restart in between. Please forward this feedback.

[fast anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> can we have it so that vger species hostiles get their own systems so i dont have to run from one end of the system to another just cuz 69s share a system with 68s n 70s

[robust kelp]

FIX the lag..that's all I want. If you can't or won't just say so coz I'm sick and tired of your BS

[wind prism]

Scopley can you please name one game bug corrected

[balmy iris]

<@&509690795536941056> Interim is short, that means new arc on March 31st? Or April 7th?

[raw fiber]

https://tenor.com/view/robert-downey-jr-tony-stark-gif-26471287

[balmy iris]

Considering you lock in levels for the battlepass a few days before it starts it would be good to know. Because the game is about planning ahead, you know.

[frigid geode]

Regarding this ... next week

But if it's true ... CotA was also dead and is alive again

[balmy iris]

Still, thank you. I guess will level up tonight then.

[violet plover]

And so, empty of enemies for hours, they're ruining the game with the merged queues, lag, and other problems. Playing STFC has become incredibly boring. The server 405 EU was really more fun that this...you know

[agile lynx]

Used to be able to kill the 66 Orion hostiles, now I've increased my ops to 67 I can only kill the 67 hostiles if I sting my own ship first. Creating a ship that punishes us for Critical hits is honestly stupid, we have so much research and other buffs to crit that something that deliberately counters that is frustrating. I think they need to be removed and retooled, having them counter certain officer setups would be ok if they didn't also counter something that most people would have increased via research as part of just playing the game. It feels like they were designed to be hostile to the playerbase

[unreal geyser]

this one's because of all of the chasers. If you look on the perimeter, there's glitched ones as well as the active ones. I see it on my server too...see?

They're all just.......glitched, and permanently in existance until a Scopely code janitor comes in and goes "well that doesn't seem right" and sweeps them into the trash. UNFORTUNATELY FOR US....guess what position doesn't exist...

you know....I wonder if having to keep track of all umpteen-BILLION of these glitched chasers is why the server's are all falling to pieces around our ears?

[fresh condor]

When merging servers you need to think about TT sectors. You need to increase then by 50%,sovas to give some alliances a chance of getting more then 1. Otherwise you need to remove or adjust the events

[cosmic coral]

Well done on the new V'GER 8472 species hostiles, impossible to kill 2 lvl's below mine, absolutely pointless addition to the game, just more crap that I won't be involved in 😂

[signal anvil]

They don’t correct they fix after they investigated. The fix isn’t fixed and they break more with the fix. Scopely at it’s finest.

[rare vale]

The current run of COTA was just a "here, now shut up for a week".

[keen loom]

This implies Scopley has a clue about how Webster defines broken. They do not.

Bandaids and duct tape for all!

[signal anvil]

More like paper tape!

[prime arrow]

Got a lot of a very angry alliance mates who feel cheated by the Echoes of V’ger bait and switch of “adjusted” hostiles. This was absolutely pointless and asinine. The player feedback told you the event was too grindy and the rewards weren’t worth it. You actually decided to make the grind worse?!?

[haughty sail]

You know the reason they do it is to create friction right? And hope that some people go rage spend to be the strongest and win in the 'balanced pvp' in this game?

[fresh condor]

Well most of us refuse to spend any money. As the customer service don't care when you have issues. They are clever to keep any items you buy to under £100. As you cannot complain to your credit card company

[river spindle]

They “fixed” crit floor on vger fatus

[keen loom]

Once again feel the need to point out that Scopley only listens to feedback that drives revenue. Hate a grind? Cool. We’ll drop more packs and make the grind worse.

[fresh condor]

Can someone explain why depending what day it is, when you do the daily V'ger event you never get the same points. Monday I got 90 points for 1 hit. Yesterday I got 20. Today I got 9. Use the same ship

[river spindle]

Different vger hostiles each day have different scoring mechanic for the “points” daily task

[tough saddle]

The only fun thing about incursions and they removed it. It takes skill to ruin this game like scopley is doing. I'm out of incursions if all we do is run armadas. Strike strike strike

[river spindle]

Let’s see how it actually works first and you can still raid your way into the raiding SLB, but at least one lazy whale can’t lose the entire incursion for their server.

[cosmic knoll]

if they made sigma raidable from hit 1, there would be no lazy whales. donkeys/pinatas get wrecked, they wont do it again.

theres absolutely no drawbacks for whales to go unshielded for 24hrs, if they have a big enough rss shield it will take longer than incursions to get to the important stuff.

this is the difference between an ai making the decisions and a human making the decisions.

[ebon token]

It is not AI making decisions it is a bad psychology model that Scopely is still using from the pandemic.

[prime arrow]

You don’t like an event with some chance involved?

[robust kelp]

Lag is horrendous. Can we please have some updates on what's going on. Generic " Were looking into the lag" is insulting now. Getting close to leaving now if you cannot fix the simplest of things.

[river spindle]

What exactly do you mean? Lazy whales or intentional throwing of incursion had nothing to do with “chance” 😂

[iron thorn]

@raw fiber what happened to the merger comp gifts and merger event?

[coral dagger]

They've been looking into it since the last presidential administration. It'll be fixed any day now no doubt.

[rare vale]

The same reason so many other things dont work. I'll let you figure out the common denominator.

[quick gale]

Do you mean besides poorly developed code?

[dreamy spruce]

Raiding someone's base when no-one defends it for hpurs - is not PVP - it is mind numbing.
Having some 20+ lvls above you dominate you - is not fun, not PVP, not competitive and all about the wallet - too often does not require any game skill.
Raiding is not gone - it is still a XSLB, May be with that plus more focus on actual combat - more of the folks that like to be the bunker busters - or defenders will score better.

[raven atlas]

Pls dont harass the players with these kind of empty messaging.
Be clear what you mean, or dont post nonsense

[rotund sparrow]

Its been over a month since our last recruiting event. Throw that bad boy in the mix plz scopely

[ebon jackal]

It's really unacceptable that the in-game battle log doesn't show all the details. The game shouldn't have even been released that way, let alone been around for this long. (Yes, that goes for any game with a log of that type)

[muted geyser]

I notice in some menus, it hard to tells certain color from another, is there a solution to this? I think left is green and right is blue?

But the hue is gradient, and depends on the size

These are blown up to show more detail

[raven atlas]

There even are several different items with the exact same visual…

[muted geyser]

that a whole other issue

[ebon jackal]

Also making new content immune/fail with a new officer is just as annoying as making it require the officer. Both are a bad decision.

[muted geyser]

next will be something is brewing for you, check back later for more details

[raven atlas]

Expecting that to be the new bugs after maintenance tomorrow

[raven atlas]

Something should be many things
Breaking should be broken

[runic patrol]

I'm playing on a hardwired laptop. It is not my internet. It is your phenomenally unstable game

[tropic crown]

The quarks event store is trash. That’s trash isn’t going to motivate me to do anything.

[umbral gull]

the amount of all the high g6/g7 players reverting back to level 60 accounts or quitting from the incursion changes is really something to see

[potent blade]

It would have been nice to know what was in this chest

[acoustic geyser]

Not the point. It should show rewards earned always not nothing because it makes you think all that hard work was for nothing

[slender ledge]

Why is the Treasury content so poor? I'm ops 58 and there is not even epic mats in there, and even less latinum than it was the last round.

[compact terrace]

scopely calls that type of thing a "visual bug" and deprioritizes that since they believe its working so we should trust them... 🙁 not sure I will ever trust them, considering they are the makers of all things "bug related"

[finite mural]

Bonus treasury has less mats/latinum, to focus more on specific officer shards. And g5 epic mats are only in ship treasuries.

[flint elm]

schrodinger's cat

[vernal stone]

@raw fiber <@&509690795536941056>

just 1 question ... where are the post-merger-gifts ?

[slender ledge]

25 shards is focus on officers? 😂

[finite mural]

4 different officers

[slender ledge]

Yes, but still... Doesn't do much

[finite mural]

That's why they're bonus treasuries and only require 400 hostiles over the usual 700

[slender ledge]

Hostiles are irrelevant, getting the unlock key is the work

[finite mural]

Not irrelevant, explaining the difference and why it is the way it is. Previous bonus treasuries were the same, focusing on specific officers instead of the usual spread.

[slender ledge]

Killing 400 vs 700 hostiles is the difference of a few hours autogrinding. And I appreciate you to inform me.

I'm often baffled by effort vs reward in this game.

[balmy shadow]

Given people are hitting the 2500 hostile cap daily with autogrinding hostiles for augment / transisogen canisters, that litterally does not matter if you still need a rod to open it.

Thats like saying, the pizza costs the same but is half the size because you had to walk a shorter distance to get it, makes no sense.

[slender creek]

Fixed ERROR CODE 5 already

[kindred pollen]

In the next update, why don’t use a known character from FC movie, for the new officer, as Lily Sloane?? Instead of this non cannonic Mara Dalen??!

[rancid ledge]

Still can't get into Field Training, When are they going to sort it out?. I messaged them but never got a reply.

[finite mural]

Licensing.

[slate tartan]

Some things never ever ever ever ever change …

[keen loom]

What the mod said about licensing really boils down to “no money for Scopley.” Just so we’re clear.

[lilac oar]

So let me get this straight. Scopley runs two major grinding events at the same time. COW and V'Ger 8472's. And doesn't remove the chest or Hostile cap's leaving anyone who wnats to be competative with no rewards for their trouble. Is that about it? REMOVE the darn caps please.

[lunar tendon]

They won't remove the cap because through that way we could "all" grind for materials they prefer to sell in their Online Store.

[coral dagger]

SLBs still score after cap

You just don't get chests/rep

[earnest junco]

I keep getting Failure to load il2cpp error on my pc when I try to start the game. never mind. I repaired the game and restarted my computer.

[kindred pollen]

😱 that’s means, every character in the game that is cannon, Scopely need to pay individually? WOW.

[autumn marsh]

I think the writer that created the characters get paid. Hence why Nick Locarno and Tom Paris are not the same character

[sage wadi]

Oh lovely war room

[odd prawn]

You all realise that the consistent 1 week gap between arcs is just so they can force more arcs on us right? Nothing to do with predictability.

Predictability ❌
Money grabbing ✅

[robust kelp]

You can make all the changes you want to Incursions it's completely irrelevant when your game is as broken as it it right now. I can barely complete dailies and even that's frustrating as he ll. The wall of silence speaks volumes. FIX THE LAG. RIP STFC.

[sage wadi]

They can't fix raiding problems, so they remove it from incursion.

[raw ledge]

Timing is a funny thing when I was almost done raiding s trit and maintenance saves the guy lol.

[storm oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/fixed-gif-14953349

[violet estuary]

I might have misread a blogpost... so the treasury which is running right now - will we have it every arc?

[frigid geode]

Somehow, with every update, you hope for something different from what’s actually listed in the update notes… like small improvements to performance, no matter how minor. Or that the GS-31 would finally work better and stop freezing everything up for a while. Or that Kirshara wouldn’t keep crashing or skipping Hostiles.
Nothing against QoL, and being able to search in the research is good too... but we’d already come to terms with that, and “Tree, Column, Row” works.
Real QoL improvements would be: archive expansions and, above all, something that improves the clicking frenzy in the faction shops.
Somehow, once again, less than hoped for... as always.

[midnight pilot]

You mean people can compete in leaderboards and get rewarded 2 times, once for scoring points, 2nd a reward on placement......let's just ignore people competing for competition...
" I,won't compete unless I am paid to".

A search function for a research node, huh????
Now people have to actually know the name of the research....and just ignore the currency.

Must be 1000 currencies coming next arc?

[latent timber]

And then they found it but dont know what is required for it anyway except the last node before it. So spocks club still does it better 🤣

[craggy trail]

(719) I am trying to understand the incentive to level op at all if you can hit less and less people as you level on a new server.

Each level you go up, there are less players to fight as it is, so why bother spending money to do it at all when they are restricting small numbers to even smaller amounts.

It really seems to be shooting yourself in the foot if there isn't any reason in game to level ops at all and you have more playability by not doing so. Instead of improving on this, they are making it to where I won't want to level at all and I'm only lvl27.

[violet estuary]

I’d really like it if you could simply collapse entire sections of completed research nodes (and ideally have them collapsed by default).

There are so many research nodes for higher ops levels – we simply need to be able to keep things organised.

[radiant quartz]

Why on earth does the updater on macOS now require permission to modify other applications?
Privacy & Security > App Management
It used to work fine without this, but now it won’t update.
This permission allows the Scopely Launcher to tamper with any other software on the Mac!!!

[serene dragon]

Whilst I am happy that the PvP banding has been addressed so that massively stronger players can't hit others that would struggle to kill one of their Surveys, I think that the grouping is harsh. Wouldn't it make more sense to have +/- 5 ops levels, that way everyone is treated fairly. A newly ops'd 41 will still struggle against a 50. having it as +/- would even that out.

[olive nacelle]

Never happening as all those whales that have spent hundreds of thousands to pay their way to ops 75+ would have no one to seal club.
(As most FTP now know better than to bother even entering G7)

[storm oracle]

"For example, under the previous system, an Ops 65 player could attack an Ops 41. Under the new banding, that same Ops 65 player can only target down to Ops 51.

The new Ops banding applies across the entire game, not just Infinite Incursions, and is intended to make PvP combat more competitive and engaging between players"
Very competitive 65 vs 51, what stuff do you smoke?🤣

[serene dragon]

The new structure will certainly make many players think twice about moving up a band.

[boreal flame]

even if its only 5 level difference a paying player can clearly wipe a f2p at any time

[radiant quartz]

Every F2P player just has to put up with that – after all, they’re not paying anything. They might be able to make up for it with skill, but knowing the game, I doubt it...

[boreal flame]

thats the definition of pay to win...and thats a bad thing in every game!

pvp primes and tech should only have f2p ways to get so you deserve to wipe everyone cause you earned it not just bought it cause you have a black credit card or a big inheritance

[graceful cedar]

Yes, it takes forever .... it's been like that for months

[violet estuary]

But who cares so much about pvp?

[boreal flame]

if pvp would be avoidable noone would

[violet estuary]

You don't need pvp to progress. But sure, if there's a war on your server things are different.

[serene dragon]

+/- 5 ops would be the best way, at least everyone then has the same advantage/disadvantage.

[serene dragon]

It's a 10 level bracket, so that 65 can only hit down to 61.

[violet estuary]

Let's get rid of pvp banding. Let's bring back the Realta burn.

[vale scroll]

It works both ways though, means some lower levels can't target and take cargo from higher players surveys. That's going to upset some of the 'diet' rogue players on our server.

Tbh, i don't think there should be any banding once you reach a certain ops level, and no longer a 'new player' and you should be familiar enough with the game by then enough to avoid players who are 'larger'. It's nanny care tbh, it's space and meant to be a dangerous place. The ops brackets don't always reflect power difference anyway, so why bother.

I also don't like the fact that officers are level bracketed either, without a story or reason behind as to why their abilities stop working.... just breaks the game for me and makes no sense, but that's another debate entirely.

[boreal flame]

that would be the end for f2p fun in this game. even right now its hard sometimes....pvp isnt everything and most people dont have fun in pvp

[cyan isle]

Most ops 71+ are botting. The amount of money scopley loses to those players having everything max from their bot is staggering. And most those people can blow up everyone lower because the lower players don’t run bots. So no 71 should have even been allowed to hit a 42.

[dire rose]

same crew same ship same buff before and after maint , such a pile of 💩

[vale scroll]

Terrible crew choice imo, maybe you have too much RNG, try Janeway(C), Ent E Picard and Seska, BD WOK Carol, Savik/Chapel, Quasi and other usual crew for your ship type.

[dire rose]

point is it was working just fine before

[vale scroll]

They fixed Critical damage floor, thats why

[olive nacelle]

I’m 71, FTP also. I wouldn’t have a clue how to “run” a bot. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[dire rose]

yet another same level player whacking same lvl ships same crew no problem

[vale scroll]

Comparing apples and oranges though? they're using Forbidden tech, and you weren't?... and no mention of below deck crew which are important and research will differ..

Try a better crew.

[dire rose]

yes i am

same tech, tried your crew same result

[vale scroll]

Whats Below deck? this doesn't look right, because I can kill 67s with a 4bn Ent D with that crew. You have quantum slipstream?

[dire rose]

BD?

[vale scroll]

Below Deck

[dire rose]

les joak as I am going to try my end D

[vale scroll]

ditch pic hugh, and black ops chapel you need to kill this inside 10 rounds ideally. pick only 1 crit officer also.. add Neelix if hes maxed on battleship

[dire rose]

QSD only lvl 10

should have smashed more 67's before main 😂

[vale scroll]

Choose either Borg Hue or Masriad, not both... and D'chok is awful BD

[cyan isle]

There are many f2p 71’s. But I assure you. You cannot blow up the guys botting.

[frigid geode]

Try another ship ... Relativity or GS-31 .. if maxed

[long tapir]

Well, game updated and now i can't get on! Its been loading for over 15 minutes!

[proper narwhal]

The update offers no improvements to the existing bugs. Oops, I forgot Scopely's new motto: "Rather collect money than fix it."

[delicate sandal]

Celebrating the new pvp banding brackets as a major improvement is ridiculous. When an OPS 71-75 can attack as low as OPS 55 this is not fair play but rather slaughter. Brackets should be +-3 Ops at maximum.

[kind vale]

I’d like to thank Scopely for their continued inaccurate messaging and incompetence. 30 minutes ago server still in maintenance. Now I can log in but over 1 hour into the gold shield because timer was started during maintenance. Such quality is amazing.

[crystal furnace]

The new PvP gaps are laughable at best. While most of the other ops lvls have an 11 ops gap, the 70’s have a 20 ops gap. Being an ops 62 I can’t go lower than 51. Ops 75 can hit as low as a 55. 🙄 that’s just asinine

[meager hollow]

seems fine to me (just now vs before)

[west stream]

Cant start a Game. Euserver 164..

[deep trellis]

Scopely just killed the game with the latest update to PvP banding. Only +/-10 levels. Mining nodes will be clogged again. Thanks devs!!!

[crystal furnace]

Just the ops 70’s clear them for you. They get a 20 ops gap.

[deep trellis]

Yeah, it's always in favor of the wallet warriors. Same old Scopely.

[mental minnow]

about a month ago, there was an endgame message stating that the team would be working on improving games stability. I’m here to say that “the team” is failing miserably. Games stability has done nothing but get worse in the past month.

*in game

[round oxide]

Can someone explain me the idea behind the new (and old) pvp brackets? A 51 can be attacked from up to 70. I guess it is obvious what the outcome of 51 vs 70 is. From arena it is known that even 54 is hardly beatable by a 51. So obviously the pvp brackets are not about fair matches (not talking about the absurd arena matchmaking). And it does not matter whether you lose to a 60 or a 70 or even an 80. So, whats the idea?

[opal orchid]

Not sure where the idea for search for research came from, but not on top 100 QoL wishes of your customers.

[red ermine]

I updated the game and now it can't load. On three devices I have it just goes to 76% loaded and then hangs there forever. I'm on U. S. server 33.

[dawn shore]

With these constant errors becoming the 'Norm', will we be getting a Comp Chest every time you actually manage to get it right?????

[keen loom]

No one cares about comp chests anymore. That happens when comp chests become business as usual.

Scopley just needs to fix their product, but won’t.

Stop having players alpha test.

[round onyx]

so looking forward to arenas 2.0, oh wait.................. Are arenas so widely played that incursions had to go in that direction? I love how all the "night crew" players who would solidify a win or even turn around an incursion loss are kicked to the curb now. Watching level 70-75 throw and fight over armadas will be "thrilling". That aspect of the incursion will no doubt be won by those who buy and chain throw armadas. This was the ONE day a month where players on a server would back each other no matter who was KOS, or how much you disliked another alliance 😉 BTW, there was LOTS of pvp defending or attacking bases from getting raided. The social aspect of this day was fun. Then you went back to killing KOS and laughing when some base got raided. 😛 I don't know what the 25-50 levels will be doing. i don't expect that them killing each other will give the points like a constant churning of armadas will. Many lower levels that i know built and leveled amalgams mostly for incursions. Not to mention those who have or were building another one. At least the 70s will be able to wander around killing down to level 51s when they are tired of getting smashed at armadas by the 71+. Bottom line for me is, should I rewatch Voyager, DS9 or Enterprise for those 12 hours?

[keen loom]

Pretty much anything other than play the game would be a wise choice.

[boreal flame]

sad but true, scopely knows there is no other Star trek game like this

[vivid knoll]

We want to search for inventory and officers. No one is looking for specific research nodes.

[quick gale]

New Motto? Thats been their motto all along!

[violet estuary]

No, we want to be able to get rid of stuff in the inventory and we want an organized inventory.

[rough niche]

War room chest. The part that is crashes every single month.

Is that EVER going to be fixed folks?

So embarrasing.

Luckily i dont work for scoepless.

🫣🫣🤐🤐

[peak scarab]

Is it just me, or can I only search for something if I know its name? I'll never search by name in the research. A filter by skill would be cool, similar to how it works with officers. To me, quality of life looks different.

[quick gale]

It was better last month.. So they must have rebroke it...

[keen loom]

Nope. Because it’s an interim event. Scopley runs at will. Just another example of content that doesn’t work as designed and will never be fixed.

[rare vale]

Yeah, this QoL improvement is a joke. It assumes I know the name of the hundreds of researches, which I dont. I just scroll until I find the image I know belongs to what I want.

Time spent on this "improvement" should've been spent removing clicks from the daily claims (chests or faction store)

[tender arch]

Will add to “pointless pew bracket changes” - it is pointless.
For many reasons already written but for this as well - I am able to hit far more up than 10 ops brackets I am now able.

This means that this morning I barely managed to find a node to clear.
And it means that for raiding I am supposed to raid sad little bases with next to nothing rss.

Also made a second Amalgam, maxed it and spent mats that I might have spent on some other ship that will actually be useful. And also got me a skin with credits that I might have spend on something useful. But thats just my tough luck so whatever.

But this “no hitting up more than 10 ops” is just sad and laughable and shows that - once again - ppl making decisions have no idea how is this game played.

Also sad for the Incursion and just in general sad that game (that I really do love) is getting broken like this.

12h? Really? 😂
From early morning? On Saturday? 😂😂
Cloaked armadas? (Also, with what directives actually?) 😂
And mind you - I love Arena!
But this Arena 2.0 is just sad…
No more Purge, no more “we are as one” on our server in raiding and defending, no more night shift…

Sad. Just sad…

[tough saddle]

Fantastic down date this maintenance. What are you people doing to this game scopley. Guess money is the only important thing? Rehashing lame events. Ruining fun events. Thought this was a war game, but it's only hostiles and armadas now. I think a middle finger is in place here, but the guidelines don't permit that. Fix your 💩 scopley

[chrome elm]

so glorified arena instead of incursion… hard pass, the one great event that happens once a month and they screw it… another nail in the coffin of this game, a big nail because you’ve made the pvp guys very angry

on a brighter note my gf will be happy to have me for 12 hours on a saturday 😃

[ivory plinth]

What a shame! Not enough getting kicked out of waves with its starting and re-appearing all the bugs after a few days (field training, ghost ships…) now it’s even impossible to take part in our Allys raids or effectively OPC-hunting.
If this great community wouldn’t still be ingame, this had been the last kick in the … glutaei I’d taken here. But for permanently making my gameplay less enjoyable, it’s not worth to spend any money further on.
Don’t know how to explain my feelings right now, but it’s the exact opposite of having fun to play stfc <@&509690795536941056>

[chrome elm]

well if you’re spending time playing this game you’re spending… because it will cost scopley a lot of money to hire people to play the game to keep the whales happy if everyone starts quitting

[umbral gull]

Nobody is doing incursions anymore on my server lol how does scopely ruin the only thing they had players doing ?

[limpid flame]

Update done. Game even worse.

[tropic knot]

Tough to complete long events that require lots of system visits and ship battles .... during an OUTAGE window. Shorten up the requirements needed !!!!!!

[latent timber]

<@&509690795536941056> why is it lying?🥲

[winged snow]

<@&509690795536941056> are outposts fixed yet?

[finite mural]

no

[lilac oar]

In order to compete in grinding events against high level pay to play players and teams. either the rewards for doing so need to be increased, or the chest and Hostile caps need to be removed. Perferrably both.

[dawn shore]

Oh how I long for the day when something goes right in this game.

[brazen oracle]

Changes based on feedback are always appreciated, but there's still a glaring issue with the echoes of v'ger event - the grind is in no way worth the reward. The time it takes to grind out the currency needed to pull the chests doesn't match the potential rewards. The payouts are laughably stingy

[coral dagger]

In light of the changes any VGER comp chest for people who were unable to complete SMS/Meta scoring?

[finite mural]

the event is being monitored.

[little geode]

Is it just me or there are more people out there experiencing ongoing lag, sporadic reconnects and reloads, hanging up on "preparing" on those reloads while servers are online again? game was updated on start after maintenance, did already repair, uninstall and reinstall the game on PC and cleared localisation. It is getting worse every hour

[willow raven]

Your PvP bracketing is functionally just as bad as before and 4 years too late

[rough niche]

Love the player feedback.

Feedback = nobody is playing

Solution : just flick a switch and shoot anything that moves.

🤭🤭

[vague compass]

<@&509690795536941056> Thank you for really listening to the players' feedback. I'm excited to see how the game will improve as a result. Thank you for taking us seriously.

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> Since Scopely is bringing back the invansion enities loop but with a new name and with harder hostiles and higher milestones, can we get SNW Scotty reverted back to what he was?

[carmine marten]

Thanks for the heads up on field rations changing. And also great move to allow overlap between new and old systems so players have a say still in how they spend their rations, once we see the actual changes

[sharp shell]

https://tenor.com/view/scott-pilgrim-vs-the-world-boring-delete-bored-lame-gif-13757914998035828288

game is at a new low

[pale drift]

Yeah theyr removing latinum from the game this sucks

[steel ridge]

The field rations update sounds awful getting rid of the elite chips. Does anyone use their field rations on anything else even?

[steel ridge]

Where does it say they are getting rid of lat from the game? It just says they are removing it from the field ratios so players are pushed more towards purchasing or treasuries

[finite mural]

They're removing elite chips from the game, the choice tokens replacing them will not have lat

[finite mural]

That does not say they're removing latinum from the game

[steel ridge]

Right so it's not being removed from the game, it's being removed from the field rations.

[pale drift]

the way theyr phrased it it sounded like thier removing it totally lol my bad

[steel ridge]

In short field rations is being dubbed as an update but is getting nerfed.

[pale drift]

gotcha sorry ruff morning fighting my internet lol

[sudden anchor]

WTH!!! Latinum might be useless for G6 and above but those still have huge impacts for G2-G5 Also forced us to use the Emergency Field Rations and that Syndicate XP changes is...🤨

[pale drift]

my appologies

[final python]

The updates so far and sounds like future planned for this year seem to mostly be targeted at removing paid rewards for f2p players that focus on resource management and such. COTA removed, latinum from field rations removed, alliance tournament expected changes I'm sure will remove high scoring f2p tasks. It's pretty disappointing where the direction of the game is clearly going.

[remote jolt]

Commence gentiment à en avoir marre de faire le "beta-testeur" après chaque mise à jour et son lot e bugs !!!

[kind vale]

Not really sure why everyone is upset with field rations updates. Scopely uses these for less than half of all comp chests. Will remain as useless as always.

[pale drift]

i agree

[ebon oyster]

@tidal notch just want to say awesome job on the communication and timelines around these changes.

Letting us know before anything happens, and having an overlap period for the old and new systems is about the best-case scenario of what we could ask for here! Also great to recognize that latinum is something players would care about and call it out in the announcement rather that waiting for us to bring it up.

I hope in the future some pull option gets added for lower-ops players who value lat/speedups (Serene Squall is great here, but it would be a nice cherry to have a pull option with comps) and that this change lets you include field rations in more comps going forward.

[red rampart]

How about the Speed Ups that are in the Elite Rewards? Will they be part of the new system? Those Speed Ups help with progression especially for Early G6 players who haven't unlocked the ops 63 ships.

[finite mural]

doesn't look like it

[red rampart]

@finite mural, IF Speed Ups are being removed it's a significant downgrade, especially with the removal of Latinum (which can be used in lieu of Speed Ups).

[slim shoal]

@tidal notch Any update on a fix for iphone/mobile not being able to zoom out, not being able to turn down animations and not being able to see the titan-a in the ship list in dock?

Some of these were noted weeks ago. Disappointing that a mid-month update that usually adresses bug fixes didn’t touch any of these. Game is close to unplayable on iphone as a result…

[scarlet zinc]

Mid Month Maintenance only upgrades the BUGS and add fresh new exciting ones 😛

[tardy sail]

@tidal notch why can I no longer use Venmo to buy packs on XSOLLA? Seems odd to limit a revenue source

[red rampart]

@slim shoal, if you think that's bad, on Chromebook the Unity Upgrade last fall broke text inputs. My ops 45 account can't use the various chat types, search for systems, input precise amounts rather than relying on sliders etc.

[flint plume]

@tidal notch I appreciate the overall effort to update emergency rations and make them more useful. And the communication and timeline were super clear. Thanks. However, I strongly recommend some changes:

• rewards should include lat/speedups - these are very important for f2p and g3-g5 especially
• syndicate XP needs to increase with ops level. I need 20M+ syndicate XP for my next syndicate level, and my daily claim is ~250k. Emergency rations are supposed to provide meaningful compensation for game errors. Syndicate in the amount of 1% of my daily claim is not meaningful.

[tidal notch]

Hadn't heard of this. Lemme ask.

[tidal notch]

Both are good points.

Don't think we'll be able to get lat/speedups back.

As for the Syndicate XP, I'll ask about it.

[tidal notch]

Will follow up about this too.

[coral dagger]

Lat you kinda end up with more than you'll ever be able to use in up to G6 content and it evaporates after 61+ content.

[fluid mist]

I hope they keep lat in the treasury at least as we never get enough materials for stuff in those things and lat comes in handy when needing stuff

but won't be surprised if it's taken away as just another thing that helps out the little guys for playerbase

[mossy widget]

Thanks scolplay for fixing something that wasn't broken I.E. Emergency field rations. and ignoring what is broke lol you had me worried there for a min 🤨

[coral dagger]

Introducing choice instead of a grab bag isn't necessarily bad

[mossy widget]

Well at least leave the Lat alone lol

But I get your point

[coral dagger]

Also yes. Lat does help progressions up to G6, at G6 a couple million in there is basically nothing so not as big a deal to us.

[mossy widget]

Yes but every little bit helps lol

[craggy trail]

Feel like they are trying to kill the game for new players before we get a chance to reach 60+.

Newest server, new players to the game all saying they're going to leave if they nerf Lat and there is no incentive to level with the new level restrictions in place. It's just ensuring that new players don't stay long enough to find out.

This on top of non-stop bugs on new server, removing field missions, not compensating for days losses, and not being able to even build buildings or be included in events. People may come in interested in the game in lose interest very quickly because of the actions they are taking at present.

New players don't want to play on old servers where everyone is maxed already. They want to be able to play on new servers with people their own level and level together. But what they're doing now is making them not want to play at all.

If you cut off the new influx of players coming in with these type changes eventually the game will just die.

[pure shore]

Leave the latinum alone

[somber orchid]

Only reducing lat from the emergency rations I thought , hardly a major impact

[mossy widget]

I'm not going to necessarily say that they're trying to push newer players out or discourage them from playing the game by all these changes granted some of these changes are needed some are not which should be reevaluated but I will say from the perspective of someone who's been playing since the very beginning that now for new players there are more Avenues to assist players who are just starting out then there were back in the day.

One thing I've contemplated bringing up to the developers is possibly having it accessible where you can purchase a server transfer token you can have it restricted to where it only comes up once every two or three years and when you use it it can transfer you to a server that matches your power level/ops but now with them adjusting how far the top level players can hit down and I'm being cautiously optimistic about that will probably make it easier for newer players to not have to worry about being outclassed half as much not saying it won't happen but it should reduce it significantly. Again I'm being cautiously optimistic

[shut hornet]

Removing daily reward tokens from field rations is a terrible change for f2p players. That was my primary way of sourcing latinum.

I don't care at all about more syndicate, more mats, whatever

[vocal plover]

You’re really removing the one thing I would always get when you would give us your I messed up gift?!?! The rest is trash

Speedups are hard enough to source 61+ for people. Enough already

You guys really hate your players <@&509690795536941056>

[shut hornet]

The worst part is they are spinning it like they are improving the system somehow. This just nerfs it for the majority of players.

[storm oracle]

I thought maintenance is there to fix bugs?

[final python]

It clearly has enough of an impact to be removed by Scopely for those downplaying it. If they wanted to truly "improve" them, they'd add the new material choice and keep the old chests or include latinum below g6 in the choice chests, as well.

The goals for 2026 seem to be to prevent f2p or BP only type players from getting too much stuff free. I'd think their first hope is that these folks will spend more but they misunderstand this type of player and many will do the opposite. They'll stop buying the BP, reduce play time or just quit. The second part is to keep the spenders happier and extend the gap between the haves and have nots. This will work but you'll bleed more and more players over time. The recent arcs have been disappointing, the lag and bugs are at near all time highs, and the general Scopely approach towards the median player gets worse by the day. Sunk cost fallacy and a good IP only go so far.

[slender ledge]

Will we be given a good quantity of emergency rations so we can use the new system?

[ripe hemlock]

you must be new here my friend

[coral dagger]

Oh my sweet Summer child

[tiny axle]

At this rate, the game will probably be knocked on the head during the 60th anniversary of Star Trek. Scopely really hold a personal grudge against its player base.

[vale scroll]

Please let us convert our current Elite Daily Reward Chips, to Field Ration Choice Reward Tokens instead of being forced to redeem them all

[light nymph]

I'd say 1m free lat is a massive deal for lower level players up to 39, and beyond that lat is always useful even if you are more used to the amounts. So removing it is just another kick in the face

[odd prawn]

Changing emergency field rations when you barely ever bother to send compo out anymore even when it's most definitely due.

Could you not have spent your time better like...making it so I don't have to click to repair my ship 500 times before it repairs? Making the GS-31 beam consistent or stop Kir'shara from being cursed???

Or reverting your silly website log in.

[warm field]

Very bad lag on 53.

[junior sierra]

This change has zero value ( to me ), why can’t you scale it? It’s 1/100th of what I get daily.

[dusky stirrup]

So is the actual currency changing (the "Emergency Field Ration" token is going away?)

The article is not clear and everybody is speculating based on their reading of it.

Would be nice to get an official confirmation so people can plan accordingly.

[mossy acorn]

<@&509690795536941056> still standing by for those post-merge gifts

any guidance you can offer?

[elder cobalt]

A gravitational blast shouldn't count as a defeat unless it destroys the ship.

[chrome elm]

the post merger gifts were sent out with the tariff refund checks

[tidal notch]

lemme ask about that.

[gloomy dock]

Anyone else just been logged out and can’t log back in?

[finite ruin]

Guess ftp player are screwed for latnum. Time to quit I guess

[balmy shadow]

Yes?

[keen loom]

Wonder how it’s going to go for Scopley when exactly 12 whales are all that’s left.

[viscid hill]

Too many game lockups and restarts. It's tedious to constantly restart to just complete basic tasks.

[celest zinc]

Have V'Ger Species 8472 Bio-Ships been made harder today? Yesterday I was smashing Level 56 today I can't even kill 55s...only able to kill 54s today...same ship, same crew.

[spring flax]

So many of my friends are leaving as this game is so unplayable and time heavy. Why do you not listen.

The money will stop if you drive us all away.

To add I play on my iPhone. It’s not the latest but it’s what I can afford.

Today i can’t zoom in on systems. This makes gameplay near impossible.

Why should I play a game that can’t get the basic working.

Listen

[nocturne phoenix]

Fairplay to Scopely, this is a good move, should have mentioned it.

Although the lag in takeovers is absolutely horrendous.

[tulip cosmos]

So now I hear you want to take out 1 of the few good things in the game yet again. Why do you keep doing this??? You're really trying to drive players away, it seems. It isn't as though people get the Emergency rations very often, but you want to take the best thing out of it. Why not just add the new options and keep the players happy, but that seems to be the opposite of what you want.So no more Elite Daily reward chips

[wary hare]

PLEASE Do not mention "Merge Gifts" for a server merge announcement when none are planned nor forthcoming.

[shut hornet]

Taking away elite daily reward chips is honestly making me consider just playing something else. That source of latinum made f2p through the lower levels better, allowing me to work toward catching up with my alliance mates, now my main income will just be battlepass overflow but that isn't much. If you're going to take them away from field rations, you should balance it with sourcing for elite daily reward tokens elsewhere or some other better way to source latinum.

Add sourcing for the tokens to alliance tournament store or something

[low pawn]

What a joke this game is becoming, if you wanna drive people away just keep destroying it

Your whole marketing and design team needs to be fired asap

[keen loom]

They only want the spenders. So riddle me this <@&509690795536941056>

What’s Scopley gonna do when 70% in a given alliance cease playing YOUR game, as a direct result of YOUR choices.

The exodus is insane based on the lack of quality in your product. Those that are hot hanging up the pips as a result of poor quality, are doing so as a result of an astounding amount of anti player behavior, that feels quite retaliatory in nature, after your company continues to be called out daily for failing to deliver, time and time again on promises made to stabilize game play.

This product does not survive without both pay to play, and f2p.

Stop doubling down on bad decisions.

[coral dagger]

My server has lost 4 G7s in the last couple weeks and there weren't many to begin with

[fast anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> 10 minutes before dailies reset the hostiles will change. prob a bug🙈

[tropic crown]

Massive lag s33. Events not scoring and can’t see my freaking dailies. I am ops42 not ops 3. Reloading and clear localization don’t help.

[ebon jackal]

can you please.
at least.
fix.
the.
repeated.
winner.
claims.

it still happens, how can you not seem to fix something like that????

[torpid cargo]

Big lag on server 20. Thanks.
