Sorry for presuming because of the things I witnessed on EU.

Shame you have no good polygon to play them as they should be played 🤘🏻🖖🏻

[unreal jolt]

I appreciate it, but at the end of the day APAC gets screwed by scopely for nearly everything

[fluid mist]

Personally I hate arena's and will never ever say anything good about it. They had a great concept with that content and as per the course took a dump on it released it and never changed it to be better only different. I understand when you lose you should lose points but you should never lose enough points in a single loss to outweigh what you gain in a victory. I can never seem to keep a rank due to for every 1 match I win I lose 4 that may not be the experience of many players but it sure is for me and the teams I roll with. As for how popular arena's is with how much money they invested in making it when it came out and since then trying to fix errors they ain't really hitting there mark on what they wanted to see in activity as it's always on the decline in charts

[mossy widget]

( Scolplay ) I have a suggestion for you why don't you dial back the new content releases for a while and devote all of your departments to game stability. For the Love of All That is Holy you have to have some beta / test servers that you can run these new content releases out on before you roll them out to everyone else kind of get the bugs worked out I understand it may not always be 100% successful but anything's got to be better than the success rate you have now

[winged crest]

This is screwed up scopely...I took the day off work to participate in incursions so your continuing bad programming is impacting players economically and that is totally messed up....to make matters worse the compensation for losing the event is pitiful...you'd think a company that gets about $10,000,000 per MONTH would do things more efficiently....🦧

<@&509690795536941056> please ask scopely to stop with the 'hostile auto kill' this is awful to the game!!

[weak raptor]

How much would it cost to raise an account from 0 to 80 in under 3 months if you bought everything you need? I bet that wouldn't be glitchy at all.

[cinder shadow]

stop hostile auto kill!!!!

[finite mural]

stop spamming

[frail latch]

Go to a different system or up your rep dude

[main garnet]

everytime I try to open the game, it loads to 20% then crashes. any ideas or help?

was in the game just fine earlier today. got off, now can't get back in. has been over an hour of this

[tidal notch]

sent you a friend request

[odd prawn]

they say this...

but 100% if only 1 player in the world could log in the 24 hours before arc day they would still press ahead rather than going game is goosed lets fix it

[viral jetty]

I got some feedback. There is a certain error you sometimes get.. lose connection and it will say something like please check your internet connection. Can you guys change it to sorry our server connection failed.

[rough niche]

Not that much. 🧐🧐 .

Gone from 52 to 69 in 15 months. Ish.

With a few packs bought. 6 or 7. Ish.

Buying stuff is easy but you still need some sort of grinding to advance.

The first 52 ops took 4 years i think. 🥵🥵🥵

[cinder shadow]

it is not spamming... I got the "bug" twice in the same system, 5min after my first post... this is frequent in the game

[cinder shadow]

Im in the lvl 70 system 😉

[finite mural]

Posting in multiple channels about the same thing and multiple times in the same channel within a short time is SPAMMING

also, not a bug

[wild hearth]

so where's my compensation for not having the opportunity to complete the CotA SMS? that's a step of the related Meta event that's now impossible to achieve

[finite mural]

It's being discussed

[spring charm]

I got to say just logged in after not being able to compete all day

Coa I lost first on which I would have won was I rewarded or got compensation or maybe that event extended 24 hours…. Nope

Missions such as voyager unable to do…. Was it extended was rewards given for completion due to the people in charge of game failure no….

Unable to complete the vger events was I awarded the rewards because unable to get in nope

The Borg armada event was I able to finish participating because the game was down nope

So we got compensation for a bodged takeover which broke game for hours and what were we rewarded for half a day where we couldn’t play a couple of rare officer shards and basically a slap in the face

The whole thing is an embarrassment that’s ruined the game for many and show incompetence with no one being held accountable and not even an apology

I do wonder if I was a bigger player spender how long I’d have been out game and how quick I would have got rewards two tier system for incompetence

Not impressed at all and feel sorry for the mods having to try and justify the embarrassment

Really is embarrassing and shows how little the people care just out to make money at all costs before game crashes with lack of investment and incompetence behind the scene

[cinder shadow]

u can then show me the "multiple channels" Im posting this... since march 17 the only place Im posting this is in this channel "general-feedback"... before that I was posting them in the "bug-reporting" channel 😉

[unreal jolt]

Here's an idea, revert the changes made to incursions. Update the rewards cause let's be honest, they suck. Give us a better comp chest cause what has been received is just a kick in the gut. APAC need Scopely to actually monitor the game instead of dumping it on us then going to sleep, example being the fact it took over 3 hours for the login and transfer issues to be acknowledged... not the first time it's happened and likely won't be the last...

[halcyon phoenix]

Trash! They Can't even get that right!

[sudden anchor]

<@&509690795536941056> With this trash compensation, why don't you just give the Incursion's Rewards for APAC🤨 The Incursion for APAC clearly ended unlike EU and NA, also I clearly remember even though my Server lose but i'm able to get 10th in Raider XSLB, 5th in Damage XSLB, 1st in Champion XSLB and 2nd in the Klingon Armada XSLB🤨 I also used 400 Rare Directives and 2000 Epic Directives for both Incursion and CotA, where are the compensation for both since Incursion cancelled and we cannot log in to play for the CotA🤨

[floral arch]

Still having issues logging in 😡

[lunar ocean]

I mean, that's still way, way, way better than what NA got

[graceful lotus]

This incursion issue is exactly why we all have been saying for you, Scopely, to take time away from NEW content and fix the current content

[lunar ocean]

lol

[grave quest]

if there is one constant, it’s that there will always be complainers. however i back this 100%. It’s more of a need at this point than anything else. things can’t keep going on like this. it’s time for a cleanup / bug squashing phase.

[coarse sundial]

play song explay all cc creators

[grave quest]

you took a vacation day … for incursions?!? respect the dedication there, guy!

[coarse sundial]

but we a;ll won

wont moring about

[silent cave]

To whom it may concern,

Enough is enough.

This game is terminally ill. No matter what fixes and improvements are promised, the game continues to die. Almost every new content update is an untested, broken mess. It's been obvious for a while that no one is going to put in the work to unmangle the spaghetti'ed code.

Do the right thing and just put STFC down. Humanely euthanize this dumpster fire. If you care for the players like you claim to, hit the kill switch. Release us from the cycle of lies where we are told it will get better.

Sincerely,

Me, who barely touched this chore of a game the last week and felt really great about it.

PS - Shout out for sticking to your guns and never giving us the claim all for factions.

I have never looked back my friend…FREEDOM!!!

[cinder shadow]

I am 😉

[fathom willow]

constantly needing to repair files / clear localization on windows pc client. game gets too laggy, too choppy, clearing localization breaks sound in the game, etc.

and server 717 still stuck hostiles in wok augment and transogen space, still has latency issues, still has lag in waves

[fathom willow]

server latency in 717 causing attack button against a player to be grayed out for multiple seconds, preventing us from defending our starbase because they just enter the circle last second.

[astral acorn]

Oh don't worry I'm sure the CC will praise how it was handled cause they aren't allowed to say anything negative towards their masters

[river spindle]

Or they have to redo what new stuff actually gets released for the new arc because some new “features” are breaking the game.

[sudden anchor]

Compared to the supposed rewards, it's trash. NA got that bc their incursion isn't even half done, the limbo happened to most APAC after APAC's Incursion ended which mean we should get the rewards. Why are they cancelling something after the event finished

They already cause problem for the CotA and now APAC cannot even get the Incursion's rewards, very incompetent. With them cancelling even APAC's Incursion, they are wasting 12 hours of Players time. That Compensation is trash also why add those officers shards, forbidden tech protomatter and forbidden tech tier up catalyst. Those kind of compensation aren't needed nor worth anything, even my refinery could get more protomatter and get the catalyst slowly, those officers shards also built up slowly but surely.

I don't usually care to be vocal but these affected too much to ignore. If you aren't ready to release or start something, don't start bc you look like parasites wanting players to waste so many resources

[sudden anchor]

The time to respond for APAC's Incursion and that CotA's SLB also very slow, are they stalling for time to make people forget or what????? Atleast make announcement for it

[broken scaffold]

Here's a suggestion, if you're going to let players bot, just let players bot. Build it into your game. Own it. Don't act like you understand it is against your TOS and then let players continue to use bots anyway, even after you "investigate."

[gentle tusk]

Feedback: The popup ads selling obsolete garbage every single time I re-enter my base are really obnoxious.

[wanton owl]

it's such a terrible mechanic to head over to do the VGer daily only to get killed in 1 round because you have that one officer you can't use on specific days for some convoluted reason. Great gameplay!

[limpid sphinx]

I've been able to do the 67 vger orions regularly for a couple weeks in one run but for some reason same ship, crew, buffs and I can't kill more then one tonight. I'm gonna run out of buff juice before I can get 10 kills at this rate.

[restive cove]

I've noticed several times over the last couple of months that it seems like not all of the research attributes get fully loaded after daily reset.
Ive resorted to waiting until 10 minutes after, clearing localization, then proceeding.
Works 9 times outta 10.
Still frustrating, but better than sending a ship 4 mins out just to have it die

[grave quest]

shhh! You’re not supposed to tell anyone that they are selling absolute trash for the low low price of buyer beware. Even ferengi would shake their heads at scopely business practices.

[opaque raft]

I strongly dislike the scopely store adds cluttering up my view, but i genuinly hate the adds popping up during gameplay.
Stop this abject nonsense!

[viral jetty]

I also wanna keep pointing out that not a single compensation chest I ever opened was good. All trash. Its like you give your g6 and g7 players rewards an ops 30 would be happy with, but you dont think to make your higher ops happy. We want sigma speedups, g6 resources, gas, ore, crystal and not 100 each, if you wanna compensate us than really compensate us.

Last nights compensation gift was not compensation at all it was ment to further drive people away from your game

[fast anvil]

i really want to see where the spending is coming from, is it 90% g7 players or is it more spread out. cuz theres no way scopely doesnt have this numbers. and if what i think is happening, its basically just the g7 people spending and keeping the game afloat and without them they lose almost all their income

[scarlet zinc]

Why was there a disparaging difference between rewards after the failure of Incursion?

I got the Full Monty of rewards : 10 shards for Carol, 10 for 2 Scotties, D’Chok too and other rewards, as if we had won our Incursion.

Other folk got 2 shards for aforementioned mess up and Bag O’ 💩 to boot 🥹

Why?

[cosmic knoll]

keep letting TIM know that we know who he is. it will stop

[small portal]

Lag is killing this game.

[sudden pine]

Not all the CC have NDA

[sudden pine]

Sigh, it has always been the way, the premium area of the game makes more money than the rest of the game

[keen loom]

Scopley is killing the game. Lag is a consequence.

[spring charm]

Well as we have been ignored about coa and other events due to your failure I’m quitting as you obviously don’t care about game experience unless I spend thousands

[pastel herald]

the lag is so much worse every few months, the game is gettting to the point where having to restart it once in a while has turned into a hourly issue, and no, its not on my side... how do I know this? I run 2 PCs and have same issues and so does many I play with, we are sick of it... stop catering to the people who want more content and start getting the game stable, this is ridiculous.

[dim oasis]

Issues can always arise. However, the response is serious. First, Scopely paid irresponsible rewards to players. Second, they fully ignored the fact that the degree of damage was different for each player, and the compensation had to be different because the time, effort, and cost of the events that people couldn't participate in were different. Third, the problem of the same pattern is constantly occurring over and over again.

[opaque raft]

This game is going down the drain very fast now. No single issue that was caused by last ‘maintenance’ was fixed. No signs they will be fix at all.
There will be a new arc so for 100% sure more bugs will be introduced and never fixed. Also new (and broken)content will be pushed through pur throats.
Total radio silence from scopely; they hardly acknowledge issues and the ones mentioned in ‘known issues’ are not fixed at all.
Zum kotzen

[viral jetty]

They keep adding new loops without adding old loops to archive. Game becomes a job not a fun game

[proper narwhal]

I've switched completely to free-to-play. I'm not spending money on something broken and dilapidated. If many people do the same and the money flow to Scoely stops, perhaps there will be a change in company policy.

[ripe hemlock]

the pop-ups in the game are made to remind everybody not to spend a dime because of the dupster fire the game is these days ^^

[prime arrow]

They don’t care THAT much even when you spend thousands, lol

<@&509690795536941056> I really like the new "Research Search" (love to say this) but there are some with the same name in different trees...this should be fixed.

[hollow plover]

i am afraid the number-crushers/decision-makers are more like "income has drop, bad ROI, not worth any invest, so let's cancel" - but i do the same, it is not for me to break this downward spiral

i will not buy a broken product

[whole venture]

@rigid vapor Now that we have a ton of Prototype Tech and Chaos Tech that only works without Tal on bridge, can we finally get a sourcable way for Tal? E. g. in the officer depot?

[fluid mist]

Well I'm sure many people will have their own opinions on the difference in rewards given. Myself I consider the difference is due to apac getting caught in limbo and not able to participate in the events of incursion. Though if you consider that to be the case then any other player should have same compensation because incursions was canceled and they couldn't partake in said events. Unfortunately scopley felt that it was only worth the win or loss rewards at end of event which is where most of us is having an issue. The events is where we have a problem the incursion itself is only worth it for raiding or beating other players the events make it worth participating. Take that away and give us nothing is a good way of getting no goodwill at all from playerbase and start losing even more players than ya have over past year scopely.

[north dune]

The joy of stfc..

1. Lag, lag and more lag at daily reset
2. Entering mirror space you get back to base system
3. Jerky ship movements, lag in attacks, ship stuck and instantly attacks enemy
4. Get randomly destroyed in transogen space due to lag
5. Solo and group waves lag. Lost tons of starters where not all ships joined due to lag
6. Oh did i say lag?
7. Help all button broken for weeks, stuck at X number of helps
8. Pulling chests vs when you get the rewards.. lag.
9. New patch, new issues ontop of already broken stuff
10. Pulling war chests ends up in a game restart per pull
11. Game randomly gets weird graphics
12. Localized content error messages
13. Repairing ship lags
14. Armadas stuck and not respawning
15. Lag in chat is annoying to communicate with alliance

Comp packages that are a joke vs the issues.. fix the damn issues
Alls these issues constantly on either Windows, mac and m4 ipad.
You get all that money on those ridiclous priced packs and This game is unplayable on a daily basis for months 🤷🏻‍♂️

[fluid mist]

wait you mean adding 1 ship loop to IA every six months but adding 2-3 loops every 6 months doesn't help wow I would've never known(scopley says) while counting the bonuses they continually get.

[fluid mist]

kind of makes you wonder how smart people raised their kids to be this forgetful eachday and continually buy packs for a broken game due to fomo. Eventually we can't blame fomo anymore and have to admit the truth the people spending have an addiction problem stemming from forgetfulness and lack of smarts

[north dune]

The whole eco system is made to pay.. should change name to Scopay

Pay to win.. they love their whales

[scarlet zinc]

I just found it strange, unfair and a bit silly on Scopely’s side. Why would they set themselves as Scroogely 😄

Just give everyone the same Rewards and no one would feel like a 2nd class citizen.

[junior sierra]

7, yes 7 restarts required to just claim daily chests, factions and refineries. Getting old fast………

[fluid mist]

they do love their whales it's true but whales also enjoy those weaker than they are so they can show off the shiny things they buy at low repair cost. Takes both of us to run a game effectively and scopley doesn't get that rofl.

[fluid mist]

lol some of us have been trying to kindly tell them that for 7 or so years now we just wait for the game to die so we can say see i told you so but gamers know nothing right...

[scarlet zinc]

After 7 years I think Scopely want to end STFC, but they don’t know how to get out without a slew of litigation.

Those whales who have spent to maintain their power and self importance will threaten court. They might even win if they collaborate, judging how internet companies are being hunted lately 😱.

THE PLAN : Break the game, watch everyone leave in frustration. Merge servers due to dwindling population and finally declare there’s not enough players to justify the power kept on.

It’s the only reason I still play is to see the end :

I want salty tears from whales 😋

Witness Scopely squirm their way out of this nightmare. It will be a laugh.

Desperate for the end, to see what form it will take. (I have ideas)

No doubt I’ll be sad for a while once STFC has gone but the final and terminal end will be glorious ⚔️ … freedom 💪🏽

[cosmic knoll]

<@&509690795536941056> i thought id ping you guys when the popup pings me, so you will have a quantifyable/countable popup experience, the same as the rest of us 👍

[main garnet]

"freedom" as if ya arent just immediately gonna find another game damn similar that ya can complain about just as much and go "even Scopely was better than this!"

[sick bone]

They can't fix their 💩 but still find time to add another 1 trick pony of a ship

[vocal plover]

Thank you STFC!!!! You truly delivered what we, the players have been clamoring for! Another new ship to buy!!!!

Not lag or performance fixes, or old loop cleanups, or general bug fixes.

You guys get us!!!!

[junior sierra]

How dare you drop a ship without g5 scrapping . You know how many whales have no room.

[sick bone]

G8 be here before g5 scrapping

[dense linden]

No one should buy this borg balls. Maybe if their income is 0 they will fix the game

[north dune]

Lag o clock

[haughty sail]

New hostile, new ship to solve the problem, more officers ready for the bin because a big fork you to the players that invested in tiering up crews that work. All checks out, great new update guys, great new update

[vale scroll]

Hyperthermic Resonance Beam: instantly destroys any ship that isn’t the Borg Sphere and also has an 80% chance to instantly annihilate your Borg Sphere with Hyperthermic Decay... <----- What an unimaginative pile of utter trash.... enough is enough, time we all logged out until they fixed the bugs instead of shovelling poor quality content.

[woeful nymph]

This new Borg loop has more pay gates than a Ferengi Amusement park.

[graceful lotus]

Just STOP with all new ships and loops and spend 6 months fixinbg bugs

[junior sierra]

Starting to think Quark is the real ceo of scopley 🤣

If its not available freely I guess it will just pass me by just like everything else that’s happened in the last 2 years 🥹

[woeful nymph]

Hyperthermic Resonance Beam: instantly destroys any ship that isn’t the Borg Sphere and also has an 80% chance to instantly annihilate your Borg Sphere with Hyperthermic Decay - This is terrible. Having to buy a chaos tech to make sure I'm not subject to an 80% chance to blow up after I have bought a ship is bad design

[fluid mist]

don't forget thst with the new ship comes 2 new hostiles meant to make any non borg ship explode and if thats not enough another 3 officers that we can't use against new hostiles. Scopley I foresee in the immediate future less money and players on your game and more complaints for the near future

[crystal furnace]

Fix the 💩 that’s broke BEFORE introducing new 💩 that’s more than likely going to be broke too.

[woeful nymph]

The other hostile requires the purchase of a chaos tech to avoid the 805 chance of your Sphere getting vaporized. That just plain greed.

[main garnet]

I dont even want to get to G5 or above now, that loop sounds TERRIBLE

[frail latch]

Nobody asked for this. Nobody asked for the stupid button next to the help button. Try removing this greed driven nonsense, you might get a positive reaction. As for the 2x value, it's absolutely insulting. Pixels are barely of any value, but our time (which you continue to abuse) is.

[fluid mist]

oh I know like any other game or even in real life all our complaints would be called petty or just someone complaining to complain. Yet with scopley its not just justified its literally predictive each and every arc is a rinse repeat of a previous model. Make new hostile make new ship make new primes this time they threw in a new hostile after a new hostile to make sure not only you need new ship but new tech on top or just quit/don't participate. Like these "smart" people at scopley are their own worst enemies lol.

[north dune]

Free to play path is what? 2 years like a ops 60 to 61?🤣

[odd prawn]

That new loop looks terrible.

I personal wanted the Octahedron

[junior sierra]

20 sided icosahedron or nothing! This one rolling a fumble

[woeful nymph]

It won't be terrible if you buy the ship and the chaos tech

[wooden estuary]

Not bad ideas!! 💡😉😄

[fluid mist]

stay below g5 and make sure everyone you know does the same this content and new loops are like the new movie's and TV shows coming out of Hollywood They ain't made for the majority of the world only the minority of people will enjoy it. I'd go back in time back to before g5 in a heartbeat if I could.

[wooden estuary]

Yup! One of those too 😄😁👋🏼

That too 😄😁

What about a OCTOdecahedron? 🤣

[sullen matrix]

So now we have Borg Shperes as armadas and as player ships.

Also we got gorn hunters that dont trigger the anti gorn hunter ability.
Someones losing track of whats in the game

[junior sierra]

Sorry, only 12 sides on that

They think the sphere will be a nat 20. Can’t wait to see the sales stats

that counts against the borg sphere, right?
..
Right?

[whole jasper]

Ssssh! Don’t tell them!

[fast gulch]

I suppose the next arc will be for level 58 and up?
Why not just be honest and tell us all that free to play content is non existent nowadays. If you want to make more money make the programming work from release date and lower prices to match your content.

[junior sierra]

Might as well go for 70. Why not

[odd prawn]

It'll still be terrible. Just easier.

[fast gulch]

They are working on it but just gotta make money on the way.

[sudden anchor]

Seem like they really brush off the Incursion and CotA problem using this new ship as distraction🤨

[chrome elm]

for the record, 3 updates ago you broke ship repair… i won’t elaborate, you figure it out

New arc will bring new bugs. Old ones remain unresolved.

I see where it is going:

• Niceley designed ships
• Later more and more ugly designed ships
• Now reuse old armada model for a playable ship

Less and less effort. What we will get next? Old ships designs with recolor?

[odd prawn]

Hyperthermic Resonance Beam: instantly destroys any ship that isn’t the Borg Sphere and also has an 80% chance to instantly annihilate your Borg Sphere with Hyperthermic Decay

So does that mean anyone can just shoot a G7 uncommon straight out of existence or will we get a list of caveats to that?

[fluid mist]

won't matter remember they can't fix things in this game only break things

[finite mural]

that's pve, not pvp

[buoyant lotus]

As much as I enjoyed the game, and still do to an extent. The enshltification is getting too much. Pop up ads every few minutes on menu change is getting really irritating. I refuse to part with money on such a broken game. Address the issues of:

1. Menu lag
   2.Repair lag
2. Mining lag
3. Reward lag
4. Incursion now broken
5. Far too many loops to justify doing any except your main goal
6. Ridiculous one trick pony ships, just stop it please
7. Unattainable Primes
8. Maintenance that fixes nothing of note
9. Get rid of all the damn clicking, 10-20 minutes wasted on refines and factions
   No wonder whales are leaving the game in their droves, you can't just keep adding rubbish and not fix anything, although you seem to think this is acceptable.

[odd prawn]

Ah. Boring. At least the whale backlash would have been amusing

[fluid mist]

oh you'll still get whale backlash since the new shiny toy gonna get blown up in pve until they max out the new tech and everything

[gilded crown]

Why isn’t the server time adjusted to match standard time/daylight saving time? Right now I’m getting stuck with the daily tasks because they only start an hour later.

[hollow sundial]

Anyone ever needed a clock for a mantis, defiant or a discovery just out of interest?! 🤭

[haughty sail]

plenty of whales insane enough to buy all the packs to tier it to max at launch , that's why they keep getting away with releases like this rather than fixing the game

[lofty musk]

Reliant and augment faction was probably the best update they’ve done in the last year imo. Scopely saw people advancing too fast and pulled the brakes on that and introduced far worse grinds like outpost, challenge, maverick, and probably this new borg one.

[fluid mist]

they haven't figured out dst for 7yrs unlike rest of world that knows how to adjust and hates having to do it twice a year.

[lofty musk]

Why not look at the success of reliant/augment and return to that?

[coral dagger]

More "decay" mechanic that's just plain time wasting. Once again no respect for the player's time. But I see the plan, you taught us to skip worthless content with the VGER hostile changes and we can now apply that to April's as well. It's impressive how they've made any hype for a Borg Sphere non-existent.

[odd prawn]

I'm barely doing dailies at this point that's how bad your arcs have been lately. <@&509690795536941056>

[coral dagger]

Funny you say that, just now I logged in, looking at collecting my daily stuff and I just don't even have the motivation to invest clicks.

[vague compass]

<@&509690795536941056> Really? Nothing’s working—you’ve even messed up Incursion, the event of the month, talking about slowing things down... and now 89... new enemies, a new ship, just to get your money-making machine running again. If you’d just balance the Orions so they can actually be defeated, and finally get all the lag and crashes under control, then maybe we could reconsider these in-game purchases... but please, please, please—THINK ABOUT IT!

[sullen matrix]

success? Is your short term memory damaged?
It was uniformly hates as one of the most insane grinds to that date with the introduction of insta death mechanics

[fluid mist]

I do my daily for the loyalty token and the battlepass events any other event I flip a coin for time needed to complete vs rewards if it ain't worth it I just skip. I'm on 2hrs a day on this game max soon to be less as events are getting more out of my league due to scopley greed.

[mellow dragon]

‘Hmmm new arc coming, should we fix the lag and ever growing list of bugs the players are experiencing?’

‘No! Let’s add a new ship to further strain the servers and gameplay!’

Completely out of touch company

[vital pawn]

So on a different note. While I appreciate the need to re-band pvp ranges... as a 60, I lost 13 ops to hit and gained nothing, nor any protections. kinda of big 3rd finger at the same time of all the other oopsies and dur, game no work changes this week. On brand at least.

[coral dagger]

It was at first but overall it was probably the best Arc of the year reward wise

[lofty musk]

No I remember but I bought reliant and I don’t regret it because it was insanely good for crew sourcing, efficiency and other favors

[sullen matrix]

it had important final rewards to make it feel rewarding in the end and its only now tolerable because of the Reliant

[thin shard]

My main issue with the Maverick faction remains.

Why should I participate? What previous content do I skip so I can do Maverick instead? And the answer, unfortunately, is that it's not that important to me to skip anything else.

So after Arc 2, I'm afraid I'll skip Maverick till I finish other loops.

[lofty musk]

If I buy a ship I want to feel that it’s worth it and nothing else so far compares imo.

[coral dagger]

They don't want you to know this, but you can just skip it all

[sullen matrix]

funny enough, people buying the reliant was also the insanely good for everyone not buying the reliant since the low protected cargo was the biggest slap in the face 😂

[vital pawn]

Unless you operate in elite PVP you're a fool to buy a ship. Look at the GS31, a great feature added that works with no event since the one it was introduced in, Nice beam, shame you can't use it going forward

[azure spruce]

There was initially backlash, but it blew over relatively quickly. It's definitely the best new content release of the last... while. It's mostly a blur of crap in my mind.

[sullen matrix]

still GS31 is one of the most important and strongest ships sub ops 70

[vital pawn]

Don't disagree, it's Scopley's pattern of immediately nerfing great features so they're limited

[sullen matrix]

agree

[vital pawn]

people spent 400 to get that thing tiered on day 1

[thin shard]

I know, but take e.g. Transogen. It helps with Artifacts, several loop efficiencies, Sigma speed ups, Latinum etc. So many goodies 🤩

Whilst Maverick? 🤷‍♂️

[odd prawn]

The motivation struggle is real

This silly beam on the silly sphere....

That's a Scopely 80% which basically means ever single time you use it you die. Right?

[lofty musk]

Reliant is the only ship I bought, I got gs-31 f2p and I use it for solo elite waves and arena. It was pretty fast to upgrade too, I’m already T9 with it unlike dauntless and squall (both I got f2p).

[vital pawn]

Oh some non complaint feedback. Sliders on EVERYTHING. and in Faction stores, allow us to do what we do in refineries and collect all (with toggles for us to select), also be nice if my tablet, phone and computer setting synced on what I've picked as well.

[lofty musk]

It’s totally worth buying a ship IF progression doesn’t take ages f2p. Which is the path some middle manager at scopely has decided to push. My dauntless is t3, takes forever to upgrade

[urban sky]

At least eco always gave me the copy and paste reply to let me know he read my feedback. Maybe in one out the other but it was read. current <@&509690795536941056> jokes

[lofty musk]

I’m about to unlock excelsior in a few days, I’m guessing progression is like dauntless. It’s just getting worse and worse, the grind that is.

That’s why I think they should look back at reliant and follow that progression.

[carmine yew]

I am so sick of you banning us from using certain officers as crews for hostiles.
It was bad enough that you did it with all these challenge hostiles but now your doing it with these new borg!

STOP IT

[coral dagger]

Guys you can't just go around using the stuff you already have

Get excited for new officers that will do the same things as the banned officers

[cerulean quest]

For all the screw ups lately everyone should get the borg sphere for free !!!! ☝🏻✅

[toxic coyote]

It's difficult to spend on a game which is still full of bugs, lag and general performance issues, whilst releasing new content every 4 weeks on top of it. Unchanged in 7 years despite promises of fixes and quality over quantity.

[modern robin]

Nice. A new ship with which i can enjoy the enormous lag on 133 🥰🥰🥰

[haughty umbra]

https://tenor.com/view/gullible-fool-me-once-got-em-tricked-bait-gif-6446232946712709886
Promising to fix things.. but wait, here's a new ship!

[patent galleon]

OMG!!! TH3 LAG IS STUPID

[umbral gull]

I was going to smash my credit card last night again but then I remembered they fix nothing in this game and only try to sell more stuff on spaghetti lagged code, so I instead played a steam game

[cyan horizon]

EU 401 - we got punished twice recently -> 1st you excluded us from Incursion (maybe because of merge with 405 coming in), 2nd no compensation chest - and other EU servers got very nice one, we even did not have chance to compete / participate -> that was very unfortunate

[lethal bridge]

<@&509690795536941056> @raw fiber @tidal notch Why? Why? Why?

Why do you don‘t learn anything? Again a new ship, again new hostiles, again new resources, again a new grind loop … again… again… again…

We don’t ask for new grind loops. We don’t ask for new resources. We don’t ask for new ships.

We want a better game, better events, a stable and playable game.

But you deliver with every month the opposite. You learned nothing!

[foggy elm]

Are we ever going to get an update to the Admiral's Officer Recruit? Its been stagnant for several quarters

[umbral gull]

The answer to all our questions is no

[umbral silo]

A new ship to do content that doesn’t work. Yes that will fix everything, what a brilliant idea scopely, where do you get your inspiration from.

[fringe oak]

Seriously we need to update some older features that are continued to be pushed.
Territories need a major update. No more g3 stuff. Level up the entire feature. Add new research that uses the same materials that we have been collecting.

Alliance levels. Please add the ability to use parsteel again

Alliance tournaments. The store is very outdated. Stop adding 1 or 2 things for a single run. Add all old primes, even if it is outdated. Add all old rare officers. Add old refits and other cosmetic items.

If you are going to need scrapping stop giving us materials below our level. No point if you are going to change how scrapping works if and when you release g5.

And I am adding this after the original post. If anyone from scopley or digit want my ideas I am glad to share them. I understand you need to make money but you can do that and make the players happy at the same time.

[odd prawn]

They learnt that some people will just buy everything they put out.

So they keep putting stuff out...but now 13+ new arcs a year

[cyan isle]

I could understand putting some quality before quantity. But this game has NO quality. Not even a hint.

[umbral gull]

I'm pretty sure this discord is just a place where we dump out thoughts and it goes no where. It's a place to remove support tickets from their queue

Poor mods probably try their best but they know nothing too

[toxic coyote]

They tried to update incursions. They need to establish competence first before trying any updates

[umbral gull]

and they made the entire active player base mad with those updates on incursions lol

[ripe hemlock]

it doenst matter how much we have lowered the bar of expectation to them already. they still do the limbo

[umbral gull]

That's actually impressive now that you say it like that

[ripe hemlock]

everything they touch - they will break

[cyan isle]

It looks like another ship I refuse to buy until you blohearts listen.

[umbral gull]

removed payment info from store seems to be the thing that works

[grave quest]

nothing infuriates me more than this form of needless cash grab. It is insulting!

[keen loom]

The things we ask for don’t immediately impact the bottom line in Scopley’s eyes.

They fail to see the correlation between satisfaction and revenue. They always have failed to see that concept.

[sand talon]

Slow Progress Penalty - that is what I think I can call my playstyle, I noticed this around the WOK Arc, I was G3 and the majority of the content was G4, fair enough, I like to take my time and I understand the limitations that come with this; next few Arcs I was still 1 step behind, I got to early G4 - content was 45+, I jumped to late G4 - content was 50+, I was considering entering low G5 soon and as we now know the content of the coming Arc will focus on 55+
Apart from the normal game activities I enjoy base raiding, I was fortunate enough to be able to rely on much higher Ops players to open a base for me to plunder, with the PvP brackets now changed I feel this area of the game is also being limited - I played games where PvP bands were more logical - you could attack 5-10 levels below your level but no limits if you wanted to punch up, I'd love to see that implemented here but I know Scopely will not only not listen to this feedback - they will simply not receive it

[neon atlas]

Which one? I'm waiting for Ember Guardian, but let me know. I'm on the look for something refreshing, functional, player-focused. A real change for the better

https://youtu.be/QQNN7qQtDP0?si=6i513ox0SLsgRUF-

[modern robin]

Should i buy the Event Pass or should i buy half sword on Steam? 😊

[fluid mist]

you could buy a bag of someone's garbage and still have more fun than this next arc full of bugs and overenflated content gonna be

[hardy parcel]

Really? You've forgotten what happened the last time you tried to nerf an officer for working too well?

[desert sigil]

Fine, that you had to throw out yet another Comp chest for incursions - but where's the store?

[proven wharf]

Oh yeah, after the absolute disaster that was the Incursion event and all the bugs in the game, I’m so excited for a brand-new ship that’ll probably either cost real money or take 6–9 months of grinding to unlock. And of course, some shiny new enemies that you can only beat with that exact new ship.

But hey, all those bugs that currently make the game barely playable? Clearly not that important.🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

[weak trellis]

<@&509690795536941056> Could we get a more concrete update on what's being done to fix the quality issues in the game, all we're hearing about is new content without any word on what work is being done to make the game playable

[shut stirrup]

Why would they fix anything? Its still bring in massive money. They have no incentive to do anything.

[hardy parcel]

The update is GIVE US YOUR MONEY

[proven wharf]

Not am single cent from me ☝️

[carmine yew]

"Only a select few can reach Tier 3 of the Maverick Faction within the first month"... 😂

[finite mural]

you had to buy all the packs with rep in them

and do the mission

bunch of g7s bought the packs,

but never did the mission, lol

[grave quest]

<@&509690795536941056> can we please get a fix for the war room claims? it always lags so very hard, and you need to claim four times in a row! At the very least we need a ‘+’ option to clam all at once. at least then it’s once and done

[honest siren]

I can’t link my account to the store. The sign in option is gone. Don’t remember my id or Pword

I link in the beginning can’t now

[zinc terrace]

Missing the mark again in the update. No one uses those captains. We all use keenser. Just keenser. Best pve officer. Maybe next month nerf him if you want a real impact.

[fluid mist]

no please dont nerf him I finally got him maxed like last week

[zinc terrace]

You can take one for the team. Suck it up buttercup

[fluid mist]

man ftp has been taking one for the team for 7yrs when's it gonna stop rofl

[robust sedge]

I'm so glad Scopely will add new broken content to the game. I'm really looking forward to new memes, GIFs and really funny comments about their, let's call it 'success'. 🤣

[grave quest]

f2p is one thing. it can be expected that not buying anything gets you nothing. the issue i see is that they are really hammering light spenders up to even dolphins. i’ve already curtailed my spending by 80% in this game and it wouldn’t take many more problems for me to close the base for good. it’s been too bad for too long.

[coral dagger]

I haven't bought in to new thing in over a year and nothing I've seen motivates me to change that

[keen loom]

Any update will just be empty promises.

If by now we as players haven’t figure out that Scopley cannot be trusted, that’s on us.

[silver jolt]

ok so time to sell a new ship ,lets add new hostiles that make them buy the ship to beat them. then to twist the knife lets sell the ship broken so it don't work vs all the hostiles. so we can then sell them ship skins and FT/PT to make it work right. what kind of deal are they trying to pull over on us now

[unreal gyro]

<@&509690795536941056> Why do we Have to have Sooo much Laaaaggg EVERY single day? Could u guys plz figure out a way to Not do that DAILY? Plz/tyvm Graal

[urban sky]

They are trying to squeeze every cent they can get before fully abandoning the game to rot. I’m pretty sure they must have hired the staff from the old Arnold Schwarzenegger game. This feels exactly like that game. Get that dollar! heck with the players having fun anymore

[steel dragon]

Sounds about right

[torpid cargo]

Bleh…so a new ship that will take packs and packs to lvl it to any usefulness anytime soon….or slow drip it for the next year, by which it won’t be needed anymore. I’ve seen this movie before. Also I bet it’s super bugged at the jump. Love how we are getting new hostiles and a list of captains that won’t work again. Mhe I’m over it.

[steel dragon]

I miss the good old days of just buying the game and playing. And if issues arose, the company got the programmers to burn the midnight oil to get a patch out. None of this malarkey of “ we are working on it, in the meantime here are 10 more things you can waste your money on, because we don’t have enough of it already.”

[zinc terrace]

How long will it be until wok carol is black listed? Should I invest in her? Should I buy her? I have no idea how long my time or money will provide any in game benefit. Only for this month is likely.

The same can be applied to any mainstay officer. Why buy something with an unknown value?

By trying to increase crew variability you are really removing known value from all officer purchases. And that’s your big income stream besides specialty ships.

[fluid mist]

exactly ftp dolphin or whale doesn't matter what they keep saying is give us your money or time and we will give you a shiny new thing and devalue it whenever we feel like it. In that aspect we're all the same because maybe you buy it and I grind for it we both spent our time on it and we both getting bent over all the same. Scopley bones everyone equally that way only difference is some of us pay for it only once( getting bent over) where others pay for it twice (buying and getting bent over). Not sure either option is better lol

[spiral crystal]

Scopleys patches

[floral citrus]

Scopely stop adding more loops because everyone hates loops and remove old areas before adding new ones please

[umbral silo]

So let me get this straight you are creating a cash grab which is a Borg sphere, complete with a new hostile that can only be killed by the Borg sphere, and if it follows stand protocol it will be useless without at least buying the $100 parts pack to get it to the point where you can kill hostiles for your level. Then assuming I did that the rewards from the faction will be sub par. Now assuming I do all that it will probably be bugged, and when scopely finally fixes it, they will end up breaking something else, and or slowing the game down to the point where nobody can play it. I fail to see why i should fall for this. P.S. thank you for ruining first contact for me. I knew you could do it scopely.

[unborn field]

@tidal notch hey so, I have been going back and forth with support for the last few days. I've opened 3 tickets over the exact same issue and they say they fix it and it just isn't. My IA isn't unlocking a node for the franklin A But I have it maxed. I've just submitted a third ticket after asking them to verify that the solution works, obviously this did not occur. So I'm reaching out to you to see if there's a way I can be put into contact with someone that can maybe do something a bit more than the first level of reps, I have the ticket numbers and everything if you need them I'm not going to post them here. But anything you could do would he greatly appreciated thank you

[finite mural]

dm me your last ticket number

[pastel kindle]

That's what I gathered. This game has been a blatant cash grab slog for years now. This new arc is just a slap in the face to players, on top of the absolutely unforgivable amount of game-breaking bugs. We have entire events that don't even run, yet scopely holds their greedy hands out to demand more money for the privilege of playing this broken game. New enemies that can only be killed by a $100 ship, thats only mostly effective with $100 more in CT and/or artifacts. Thats not even pay to win at that point. Scopely has transcended pay to win

[umbral silo]

Funny thing is if they would make the game work, the content fun, and the rewards worth it like they used to be then i might consider spending money on the new stuff. However as things sit I feel like ignoring the new stuff Is best way to go. I’ll just focus on what I want to focus on, and complete the battle pass.

[fluid mist]

Just wait they'll start charging us to be able to play the battlepass events soon rofl jk but you do have to wonder don't ya

[umbral silo]

The day they start charging for the battle pass events is the day the game officially dies.

[fluid mist]

well they charge us for anything else they do even the problems they themselves make rofl

[boreal ferry]

whatever this monday supply drop is for, it is in no way adequate compensation for saturday. i have a paid for outpost pass I can’t finish bc of it. How does some ore and trit fix that? not to mention cota etc.

[cinder shadow]

this new feature is great!! ty scopely!!

[outer latch]

I have this same issue with my Franklin-A. I need to contact customer service about it, but the last couple of times I did for separate issues, the ticket was closed quickly after telling me they would put me in touch with the correct person to help me. Then I immediately got the "you haven't responded back, so we're closing this ticket". Ugh. Frustrating. Since then I've read on here many occurrences of the same thing happening to others.

[prime arrow]

<@&509690795536941056> if Scopely wants a hope in hell that anyone will spend on this arc, it’s long past time for a SUBSTANTIVE update on the “behind the scenes” work on bug/stability repair. It’s now been months of terrible performance, culminating in the ridiculous nerf of Incursions which predictably broke Incursions, followed by woefully inadequate compensation. You want to quell the fires? How about telling the players what the hell is going on with the game.

[dire prairie]

With this latest update, which will be released soon, it forces players to purchase new ships to defeat the new borg hostile. And that's a very bad decision, with bugs still unresolved. This game is slowly becoming Pay-To-Play. There's still time to change that decision before players get bored with everything.

[ripe hemlock]

They fail to see the correlation between satisfaction and revenue.
They also fail to see the correlation between getting paid and doing work that is worth getting paid for.

[neon atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/les-miserables-les-miserable-hear-the-people-sing-gif-17307960

[fast anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> i've mentioned this i think at least 6 months back, if scopely wishes to increase the number of spec ships we get in a year, its perfectly fine, but they need to decrease the time to unlock AND max the specialty ships. we should be unlocking and maxing a spec ship within 9 months for each spec ship. And update the event stores, everytime a year+ back you would update it every 3 months which was when the event store would roll around, now you update it like every 6 months, how are you taking something that was a good way for progression and just made it worse. give us ship parts in the event store 3 months after the specialty ships release month

[wanton owl]

daily occurance for ppl who just want to do their Excelsior task...

[wicked olive]

<@&509690795536941056>, and that's exactly the problem with you and Scopely. You don't even check the videos for errors. And that's exactly how every new game update looks... just quickly thrown together, regardless of how many mistakes it contains. The main thing is new content that will hopefully generate new income for you. There's no sign of the promised quality. It's all about quantity here, preferably in the most common currencies.

[hollow plover]

just invent a new currency for each new payment, something like idly keys, blank credits, vacant token - be creative 😅

[opaque raft]

What free rewards?

[wicked olive]

you get new bugs and lags

Scopely employs only amateurs. You can see that every day; the current YouTube video is a prime example.

[wild hearth]

great to see that there's going to be compensation sent for being unable to complete CotA events during Incursion Day before the meta event ends. oh wait, there isn't. a double helping of ignoring the player base

plenty of time to add new content that can only be interacted with by handing over cash that doesn't seem to actually be spent on maintaining the game

[flint elm]

Fix the repair button.

[wild hearth]

This comment deserves an award for irony

[acoustic geyser]

Did you have to pay for that prime?

[wicked olive]

Yes, with a lot of patience 😄 😄

[boreal flame]

just move you ship 2 pixels and its working again

<@&509690795536941056> get rid of all the old and useless currencies and change them to choice tokens so player can use them and the servers get rid auf data nobody need anymore. Maybe thats helping to get a finally stable game

[odd prawn]

Arc hasn't even released yet ant they're having to make corrections

[odd prawn]

10 minute chest probably

[boreal flame]

whoever is head of quality managment at scopely should be fired, so ofter pictures and texts in prepatchnotes and patchnotes are wrong, not speaking from the game itself

[karmic bough]

https://tenor.com/view/for-free-adam-sandler-gif-16105496

[opaque raft]

There is no sign scopely has a quality dept at all

[wicked olive]

well, the bugs and lags are getting better and better 🙂

[opaque raft]

Thats because there is also no sign they have a test dept

[opal orchid]

Any way you can send a list of what you intend to fix tomorrow? It would be great to see if you're listening.

[quick gale]

I like how you troll players with these emails about seeing a pattern…

Yeah, the players see a pattern aswell…

Constant failure, poor quality, lack of testing and poor support. And then the hands out begging for cash for doing such a good job!

[devout harbor]

server 187 unresponsive more than 5 seconds to ship repairs and opening boxes in menus like the reputation stores. trying to repair a ship gives an "asynchronous action" error message

[carmine yew]

Monday Supply Drop? any 6*?

[small edge]

I can tell you I have proof they do, and I was in that team all Saturday... just like so many other 'testers' I was stuck between servers while they were 'reviewing the results'. Why bother with testing when the players month after month do it for them. What are we 7 years now like this? best part for scopely if they only need to focus on any bugs that benefit players, which are rare so its a win for them all around

[dawn cave]

Scopelyyyyyyyyyyy

[opaque raft]

It’s a failing company indeed

[crystal moth]

I can't wait to have another "use the new ship" mission sit in my log for three months. /s

[unreal spear]

The biggest problem are the SPENDERS.. we all want scopely to fix the game, but it won't happen if players continue to pay to play...
STOP PAYING and Maybe Scopely will fix the game.

[sick bone]

Just need to look at thier loses to see that's already started happening, we're facing advertising during game play at this rate to keep scopley's pockets full

[tight timber]

spending in this game is unavoidable especially when they bring new shiny ships to use, you cant help but want them. its a game that use the gamble of chance in most of the stores.. and gambling we know already its addictive. So dont think you can stop spending even if you want to.

[cosmic knoll]

@raw fiber have you managed to contact the higher ups about certain whales unable to build the new borg sphere due to lack of shipyard space (because theres no G5 scrapping)?
Just forwarding their concerns ... and lack of purchase for something they wont be able to build

[unreal spear]

Wrong..... you don't need each and every shiny new ship scopely creates. That's your mind telling you to hoard digital ships when many ships in inventory have multiple roles. NSEA, Rel, Rev, Talios, etc... great multi role ships.
A lot of you like to collect the ships because of aesthetics.

[devout harbor]

thank you for the monday supply drop gift 🫶

[empty arch]

If you are wondering why nothing ever gets fixed just go to Scopely’s Web page . They do not hire the best and brightest. It is never going to get better.

[boreal flame]

they cant even put the right pike in a picture they had atleast 4 weeks to finish. Sometimes quality feels like a college student doing his paper on the evening before deadline

[fluid mist]

oh you mean what they supposedly fixed on Tuesdays maintenance that wasn't fixed ya they already know and don't care

[fluid mist]

for people that would use this excuse just means you have no willpower to say no I stopped spending in January 2022 on anything in this game it's easy just stop spending realize you ain't getting anything except perpetuating the problem scopley depends on to make money.

[fluid mist]

they've said before that when content gets released it was worked on 6 months or finished 6 months prior to release so let's be honest they had 6 months to get the right pike info and still failed.

[restive geyser]

It's just a bug. Why fix it if they're not fixing it in the game?

[grave quest]

given the sheer incompetence the company shows, there must be a QA dept of some sort or else it wouldn’t even get to a loading screen 😂🤣

[empty arch]

Anything the stops the money from flowing gets patched.

[restive geyser]

that's a bug

[keen loom]

https://tenor.com/view/austin-powers-whoopty-doo-do-gif-25863935

How I feel after pretty much every content announcement from Scopley.

[dusky sky]

So somehow you've all managed to create more nonsense. Everything is marked new or unread or has been unarchived. Again.

I guess it's kind of fitting because lately every time I log into your game the foremost question in my mind is "what fresh hell will we have today".

You guys have to know at this point you can't keep going like this. So why not either just shut the game down and admit you failed, or do the right thing shut it down for a few days and fix it?!

[keen loom]

Starting to feel like Ready Player One - where 95% of the Oasis screens are purchase. Desperation meets advertisement.

[livid stone]

If people stop spending, scopely won’t fix the game faster - they will shut down the stfc product and move on. This is not Scopely’s largest profit maker, they would not see the spend freeze as motivation to throw more resources at the product.

Just a personal take on that. Blaming other players on the teams inability to fix the game is misdirected. Stfc leadership is and always were the issue, they run the product and it’s on them to manage their teams priorities better IMO.

[velvet wind]

Spenders are not the problem they are keeping the game alive. Yes scopley should do better in many areas but don't blame those still spending keeping the game alive for everyone else.

[jade lichen]

I'm barely hanging on. I've got a couple thousand dollars and almost 4 years invested. The sheer volume of grinds, the 30+ minutes needed to collect everything from the Refinery, Archive, Faction shops and "Claim" every morning. And for the past few months even the most mundane tasks are glitching and lagging. And it just keeps getting worse. Months ago Conor wrote an epic novel promising to do better - but clearly that was insincere. Just not sure the point any more.

[torpid cargo]

This here perfectly sums up where I am at in the game right now as well......

[frail latch]

Apparently I'm going to miss out on the treasury fragments because of that downtime at the incursions. Lost 10k points so can max this minipass. But I got a useless few shards...

<@&509690795536941056> this is the kinda stuff we're experiencing. We invest our time and get ignored when our time is wasted by a company that has made 10 BILLION in profit, yes a B, during its lifespan. Not my maths, Scopely maths

Actually, with it being Scopely maths, it might mean they've only made 10 dollars which is why they can't afford a test client. But how would we ever know since they're entirely untrustworthy. We cannot believe a single thing they say and sadly that means you guys too.

Edit: 2 years ago. Apparently now at $15B

[coral dagger]

Is it intended the new Monday Supply Drop only shows up on mobile?

[weak flare]

I just want to say fine work everyone

Other than not being able to load the game right now, it's working really well

[restive geyser]

As long as the game is free-to-play, it's absurd to say that paying players keep the game alive. Anyone who "makes" a game like this has to expect that few people will pay. If I got more for my money, I might spend more. But if you look at the pricing policy, you quickly realize how awful it is. When I, as an OPS 69 player, buy a ship pack, I want what I need. I don't need G3, G4, or G5 materials, millions of latinum, and especially not to spend 99 euros for a few pixels. Besides, I can't do anything with a pack, absolutely nothing. The materials are maybe enough for one module out of 8. So it's useless to me. On the other hand, buying a ship for thousands of euros and then spending thousands more to be able to use it properly is just plain stupid. Ultimately, it's just a way to squeeze money out of the players. Their goal is to enrich themselves at the expense of stupid players, not to keep the game alive.

[barren shard]

Second time I have brought this up: I had to scrap a U.S.S Franklin to build a second U.S.S Franklin A but I am yet again stuck until I am able to get the warpcores

I have a Tier 11 U.S.S. Franklin A
However I have to build another to get credit for the first three tiers of the U.S.S. Franklin A Archive.
The first is only complete because I built the second Franklin but unless i purchase them I cannot tier up without warpcores.

[barren shard]

No point in putting in a support ticket. I have put in tickets for other issues and have gotten no reponse for months.

[rare vale]

I'm to the point that a $100 pack with ship parts in it doesn't even get me half of a module. There's absolutely zero value in any pack available at this point, which is why I don't spend anymore.

And let's talk about new ships. They ask me to pay $100 to unlock the ship, but the ship is useless to me unless I buy an additional $600 in packs. And, since I absolutely will not do that, I have to wait a year for natural progression to make it useful, but by then its dead content of little to no use.

[cosmic kiln]

I am putting up a week long bubble after reset and trying to decide if I want to continue playing this mess. The game is in a halfa** jacka** state right now. Playable for short periods before you have to reset because of infinite loading screens or hostiles not loading at all or events/dailies not counting and need a reset to claim rewards or any number of issues. They cancel incursions because players were stuck in purgatory and then they follow up with “hey guys, get excited about new ship/hostiles/and grind!” GM Connor has proven that he is incapable of making any significant improvements. His initial announcement was what??… 7 months ago and the game feels worse off now than what it did. I am going to enjoy this next week off the game and see how I feel about continuing to play.

[restive geyser]

I know community managers from another game. They can unlock certain things in the game if something is stuck. But ultimately, they're just a liaison between the players and the developers. They don't have the final say, unfortunately. I also know of many promises that aren't kept because something is always being changed. But that's precisely where the players need to intervene. Yes, the risk of the game being shut down is perhaps high, but what good is it if more and more bugs keep appearing?

[balmy shadow]

I know excatly how you feel brother

Im playing subnautica today, what an amazing game and its at my own pace.

[coarse sundial]

so for a idea how about getting rid of mulity vile to recause lag as ops 71 acess to area its so laggey on loading then you enter muilty vers all most pointless havning it, J ust expaned vaile to sginle servers across the boad and revlted bounes dialys done on in one place then hopfuly reduced lag look at incrion with 2 server let alone vile with all

[fluid mist]

what's amazing is they made a public mention of willing to fail and learn to do better for the customers in that post yet fail on the entire thing every single day with stfc maybe they do better with their other games but let's be honest if you gonna cherry pick which things you gonna do and not do a good business won't say what they said in that post

[coarse sundial]

all so i thik you find vile is wat cuasing incrions to fail given muilty ver then 2 severs to become one

[carmine yew]

Does anyone need anything from this TC capture anymore?
a few officer shards and 1 milestone that gives Subspace Relay parts. that is the only good thing in it.
the rest of it is redundant and why is the pass so expensive? I doubt anyone at all needs Chronomatic Particles

[fluid mist]

I went back to playing resident evil 1 thru 6 and grind for the trophies I haven't got yet to say I'm more entertained and challenged doing a game that old compared to what they keep introducing in this game is an understatement and the best part the 6 games in total cost me a whole 150$ to completely own them now that's value unlike current items in any 100$ pack in stfc

[coarse sundial]

if you have xboxs or playstation they update glitches just saying

but need subsapce realys but that is i do not do a lot in incrisions @tc Q

[fluid mist]

yes those companies do updates for glitches and their updates work unlike here. They also have many many more people using there consoles everyday in mmorpg worlds and everything with 99% less glitches and lag and freezes than this game does. I can go on and on with comparisons between scopley and Playstation or Xbox but let's be honest we all can and it won't go anywhere because scopley believes they can do what they want and people will just keep spending which unfortunately is so true in this brain dead world we all live in.

[balmy shadow]

any chance at all we could get 12-24 more hours on that store?

[fluid mist]

great game ya got scopley after loading in and not even touching any tab or chat window I get this and gave up on it loading after 13 minutes and doing nothing. Don't worry you dont need to fix it because we know you can't

[karmic meadow]

You should know better. Scopley doesnt think like most players that like to wait...

[lunar ocean]

So, the Vengeance events now run less often, and in the middle of the week to not overlap with officer spend? Complete garbage 👎👎👎👎👎

Don't worry. The store will still work.

[sage wadi]

What store?

[coral dagger]

I don't even know what you're talking about

[rancid maple]

Honestly who came up with the idea of banning certain officers from specific enemies?
That's straight up what not to do out of the design handbook?
You use buffs in cases where you want players to use a different crew. You reward them by unlocking those officers and they will be happy about it because they feel like getting stronger.
Banning officers is punishing players for something they have. And that never feels good.
Totally flabbergasted at some of those design choices.

[coral dagger]

Guys you can't just go around using the things that you have

[compact terrace]

no one really needs to spend on TC battle passes, but Scopely sure hopes they do -- especially if they don't need it... always gotta think about Scopely's profit margin before anything else. 🤣

[sage wadi]

I'm sure there are some 🙉s who buy it

[barren shard]

Thats what I want to know. I have a tier 11 but the Archive didnt show me having built or tiered up the Franklin A
So built a second one to get credit because ive already put a ticket in regarding the issue and as usual scopely support is unresponive.
So I built my 2nd one and am now stuck again.

[restive geyser]

More tokens are coming. Buy one and you can shoot down a ship with the officers of your choice. Since we naturally adhere to our pricing policy, the token costs 99.99 euros, dollars, or maybe coal.

[compact terrace]

there was a problem that required CS to fix something for my Franklin-a to register properly for Archives to register properly... sadly CS is a sit and wait (and hope they dont just close your ticket) type of thing... p.s. just hope they dont just respond to your ticket and then close the ticket saying you didnt respond in time... that's the worst.

Where is the support when you need it? It's starting to get annoying.

[restive viper]

So maybe someone needs to start thinking about redesigning latinum Rush since the new PVP bracket kind of eliminates almost all the targets I used to be able to hit 100 in a day now I'm having a hard time finding five that are OPC this was the last of the PVP aspects of this game since incursion has been whatever you want to call it trashed destroyed annihilated

[robust vessel]

please don't fill that circle again, it's better when there's nothing.

I know. But nobody is responding to my messages for more than 24 Hours. <@&509690795536941056>

[finite mural]

stop pinging the cms, if you filed a support ticket, you wait

[neat mist]

I send a eMail to all 3 emailadress Where can i filled a Support ticket?

[robust vessel]

When I had this, it was always a bugged ship repair and it disappeared after it was finished … I hope it’s not something with 300+ days remaining 👀
But these special offers I was hinting to, are also most annoying …

[distant plaza]

Yes. At ops 77 it unlocks access to G6.

[fluid mist]

unfortunately only option after what you've done is to wait until they respond which can take 24-72hrs at which point more often then not they say they can't help or it's been too long since you sent them a message and they close the ticket. Then you get to come in here and give a cm like arsenic the ticket number in a dm and he pushes it back to them or something but right now you get to play twiddling the thumbs. Yes it blows but thats scopley's rulebook of logic.

I think your push notifications are filled with typos shouldn't it say losing control of the game!!!

[distant plaza]

I was looking at that and thinking that they spelled “Servers” wrong.

[fluid mist]

it can have many words substituted in place of breach rofl after all it is scopley

[grand bison]

Is there any interest in fixing this permanent lag that just everywhere for weeks now? Cant even repair ships anymore without having lags...

[sage wadi]

55 days left of a research it says.

[fluid mist]

Unfortunately as long as people continue to spend and act like nothing is wrong business will continue as usual. Just like other business if it ain't broke don't fix it the lag is only a hindrance not breaking the game so they couldn't care less.

[coral dagger]

Far as I can tell it's intentional, they're throttling the communication going to/from the servers to every 20 seconds or so, coincidentally when they added 20 second battle times to G7 group Armadas

[bright siren]

First time poster here. Came here to say the new PvP “bracket” or whatever you want to call it is a terrible change! This might be the catalyst that finally convinces me to stop playing this game outright.

Don't forget, there's a patch tomorrow. Brokely's gonna break more things.

#⭐-official-announcements message

[vestal pebble]

Man you have to do something about waves, its 100% frustration playing it, clicks are zeroed out, queue sometimes breaks, battle for a hostile done goes to the next and then suddenly it arrises back from death and ruins the whole thing, and please don't me start on gs beam. And one more thing.. The Lag

[full gate]

@rigid vapor lag is bad, gs31 beam delay still a problem. And everytime I enter Mirror the game takes the view back to my station rather than mirror.

[bright siren]

FYI: I now (and still) have ZERO interest in any new features. First, most are geared for higher up ops levels. But mostly, the many bugs in the game are annoying, no doubt. But they’re getting worse! The SAME bugs keep reappearing, even if fixed or reduced previously. I.E. The default to zooming the system view way in when you leave system view for any reason. STOP that! The new “game will crash often after retrieving officer shards from the Claim button” - you may not know what officer shards you got, since you must restart the game from the following screen that’s blank (except for the “skip” button).

Along with constant bugs and annoyances that presumably will not ever get fixed it’s been so long (play too long and system views start having pink boxes everywhere).

Lag aka sluggish response was annoying, now it’s gotten to be just about unplayable. The other day that’s ALL I did was send ships, game would lag so bad I was either kicked out with a restart, or had to restart it myself, coming back to destroyed ships (either chasers or PvP). That’s doubly annoying when launching a PVP attack, only to either not have the attack launched, or come back to find the opposing player had all of the reboot time to do whatever they wanted to. So spend for repairs, stage game play all over again, repeat: restart to destroyed ships…

Ahead of time: even an Earth-shattering compensation chest will NOT change my opinion at this point. What good is anything you might offer, for a game that we now can hardly play anyway?!

[full gate]

Why would I buy a ship when it's bugged, or becomes bugged, and there's never a fix like gs31 beam....

[distant plaza]

At this point ships are deprecated before we can even get them f2p or max them for their intended usefulness.

So again. Why bother…

[coarse sundial]

how about some pve events for ops 71+ not just metrial spend vengces and g7 mining ship geting borning all time somay as well just counitnes run then give us some pvp shoot npcs for somthing eles do to like kill 50 72/71 nps for xx resocrse espcialy sigmar trtiaum and stell to keep repiers going

yep they realy the contact to make it hard work then send it the fix part to 3 moths later we get ship

Its crazy. All we want are the bugs fixed and G5 scrapping. Instead we get MORE bugs and MORE cash grabs. Scopely has been putting on a masterclass for not listening to its playerbase.

Scopely, what is going on? The game is horribly sucky right now. Last year, and again this year, performance performance performance. It’s getting old. Either FIX it or don’t. But STOP patronizing your players by saying the right things and never doing it. We’ve got members dropping left and right now because of the grind and the frustrations that lag and performance issues bring them EACH AND EVERY DAY! We can only take so much before we say ENOUGH! We had another 71 take a break today. And I’ll be honest, I might be right behind them. GET IT TOGETHER!

But another thing to think about is they are totally harvesting data off of everyone....in which they sell. So even if you don't buy packs you're still making them 💰. As for the game, well it's definitely addicting 😂

For the love of god, FIX THE 🤬 LAG! This is ridiculous. Send a ship to a system, says it there but it’s not. It pulls in 35 seconds later.

[wanton owl]

another morning, another day having to deal with this terrible mechanic on the Excelsior

[ebon jackal]

voyager does that too, you might try destroying a few of the regular hostiles in the system and then try it again

[wanton owl]

Tnx for trying to help.
I know Voyager does that too, which is why it should never have been a mechanic on a new ship.
Instead of having to rely on tricks or work arounds, a gameplay loop should just work - especially if you create a daily task around it.

[ebon jackal]

I think the issue lies in the spawn code for hostiles, it is randomized and does not have minimum numbers of each, so the same code issue is also resposible for armadas/formations failing to respawn
basically the fix is within code that is used to spawn pretty much everything in the game, might be why they don't want to touch it

Just submitted my third report via bug report channel on this discord server.
So the only reason I'm saying this after I submitted it is because of how long this issue has been happening (6 months) and how many bug reports I've submitted (3 total). 🐛

After they send the "we haven't heard from you..." part, the ticket is closed and there is no point of writing in it anymore. Even if the message say so.

OMG Scopely even reading the clock is too much for you now.

[sturdy barn]

Now we have to explain them, what 9 am UTC means! Incompetence as a company!

[marble ingot]

lol

[noble iris]

9am UTC is 10am BST and you’ve already started the update an hour earlier than you said. UTC is the same as GMT which is the time in the UK winter - BST started on 3/29/26 and as such you should have said 8am UTC if you meant 9am BST.

[acoustic geyser]

Zefram Cochrane Special SMS and SLB (Ops 55+)

These should be labelled as they are intended "HEROIC" since you gotta pay to win

Now we are getting 13-14 new arcs a year will the game even hold up to the 500000 new currencies per arc? Because it's mostly duct tape already

[dreamy depot]

the dev locked in the basement at minimum wage didnt know it was daylight savings time this weekend

[novel spruce]

[fast anvil]

the search research node is kinda useless because i tried it yesterday and i couldnt rmb the name of the research i was looking for so had to go back to scrolling anyways

[dusty portal]

Just reviewed the bug fixes, how could you not fix the bug that prevents zoom out? It’s almost like playing the game with your face right up against the screen

[peak scarab]

I'm not usually like this, but the so-called QoL (Quality of Life) is truly useless to me. I'm not looking for any specific research, and the missions for Ops 20-30 have been finished for ages. Why isn't there an optimization of the thousands of clicks required to collect everything? That would finally be a real improvement in QoL.

[lunar pollen]

Cant even get maintenance time right, its almost like scopely enjoys tormenting players at this point

[haughty sail]

Desperation seems to be the name of the game if you're now bribing people to come back with new currency, clearly too many people left. Yet you made ZERO changes to fix the reason people left. So good luck with your recall program, it will be about as appreciated as the windows recall feature 💩

[frigid geode]

OK ... the time in the maintenance announcement is wrong ... in two announcements and two in-game and in the in-game message today ...
What exactly will be wrong in the much longer article about the update?

[dreamy depot]

or at least color code the results so you can quickly tell if you already did it or can do it or are too low to do it.

[sage wadi]

So always share different infos on different platforms, and when the time comes just point to the one that happened to be correct.

[olive nacelle]

Buy the ship or don’t bother, this ops 71 won’t be bothering them. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[swift zenith]

we really need to quickly find by name ships and officers, but Scopely thinks we spend our time looking for specific research. Perfect

we still can't scrap our G5 ships, but... hey! we can have back all our inactive players!

[hearty echo]

I wouldn’t invite anyone back to this game, they’re better staying out of it😁

[hot hill]

Trying to find officers when crewing is probably one of my biggest frustrations too, especially when you're trying to get a ship out for an armada or a kill quickly. Research is rarely under time pressure so you can take time to poke about a bit.

[violet estuary]

I want a collapse button for research nodes/finished chunks of research.

[swift zenith]

every player can understand it. But probably nobody from Scopely plays

[runic bolt]

So what happended to G5 scrapping coming in April? Seems all mention of it has been removed.

[swift zenith]

this would really make sense

[austere coyote]

<@&509690795536941056> you forgot to finally implement G5 scrapping.....

[hot hill]

Something else useful would be a zoom snap-point, so you can go to mid-zoom where you can read ship names without having to zoom in and out a bunch to get the sweet spot. Especially useful when finding hirogen in mixed systems.

[glad saffron]

I realised the past few weeks that I actually dread opening the game in the morning just to do the pulls. Adding another faction and not giving bulk collect + not archiving a long finished arc but creating new ones has sucked all the fun out of this game. Its meant to be a fun distraction, really starting to not feel that way anymore.

Shame, I'm a Star Trek fan and loved the alliance chat, so little time for that part of the game now.

[dusty portal]

It’s nice that you can zoom out, the mid March maintenance killed it for me. This is my maximum zoom out now

[oblique charm]

Hi, is anyone else having an issue with the online store when trying to claim items?? the scroll function seems to be possessed 😅🤣

[hot hill]

Oh yeah, being able to zoom out is super important... I would not want to be stuck on that zoom level all the time.

[weak grove]

neither the QoL improvements we needed nor wanted... bring us bulk refine for the faction shop, for gods sake...

also if noone told you yet: that maverick faction is a giant waste of time

[serene dragon]

...... And fix the 'one click' claim all feature you have to click multiple times to receive all the stuff.

[haughty sail]

Thank god this game breaking bug was fixed and resources were fully allocated to these gems:
Resolved an issue with the mission Swinging for the Fences Part 1 where placeholder text appeared incorrectly in the mission dialogue.

[rocky otter]

Sooo, yet another specialty ship and grind within a month, no G5 scrapping, no actual QoL improvements, no grinds added to the Independent Archives, still claim a hundred things in different areas, and of course it will be a paywall. Definitely not giving the game a single dollar ever again.

[hot hill]

And bulk refine in the territory area for the alliance materials?

[weak grove]

just finished reading the update news. they really do niveau limbo with their content.
new hostiles are only beatable with the new ship, so if you don't buy this month with shut you out. new artifacts available only with the ship. the new officer is outright worthless. the QoL improvements are for the bin.
I'd really like to know who in your work process looked and this and thought, "yeah this is nice, the players gonna love it!", because really, @raw fiber you should fire the guys >.>

[waxen patio]

<@&509690795536941056> Can we please not go back to longer unlock times for new ships? This is a horrible idea and already the second time you’re doing this recently

[pliant kernel]

Hmm since maintenance was an hour early does that mean it'll come back an hour earlier then expected or will it take 3 hours?

[raw fiber]

we are slowly lifting the maintenance. APAC is up, EU and US is in progress

[solemn rover]

It is really tough to continue wanting to play this game when you are left out of new updates entirely. I am currently ops 53. There is no content this month for ops 51-54 announced in the patch notes. What do we have coming this month?

[raw fiber]

will share the feedback to the arc team roko

[pliant kernel]

Cool beans. Thanks

[haughty sail]

Good to see the new ship uses the same extremely limited currency we have to use for the building and research. And a tax for 2 bps a day rather than 1 so that means for most of us, a 200 day unlock path for this new bundle of joy you call the sphere while the building and research stands still. Great design /s

[queen crown]

Dailies aren’t scoring nor is the faction hunt

[cosmic knoll]

its the protector 2.0 perhaps?

[astral acorn]

Sorry but being that building level 20 wasn't guaranteed last month, it's not possible to double pull this every day. 100 day sourcing in 2026 is already ridiculous but now it's longer and will make people stop playing the game not spend

[dense belfry]

This month patch for f2p is just nothing right or did i miss something? Yes, start a new grind to have a new ship in 3+ months but besides that... i was hoping for a big haul on quality but even that is not in the patch... Good job scopely, offering some solid quality work. At least you are consistent with every other month 👍

[astral acorn]

You mean 7 months cause many f2p can't afford 1500/day for 2 bp as their building isn't high enough

[cosmic knoll]

it beats 11 years for sisko ... whys everyone complaining about a few hundred days? 😂

[sharp salmon]

lol , dailies not scoring , hey Magoo, you’ve done it again

[astral acorn]

Well then the probably 2+ years to upgrade the thing cause for some reason the complaints of "too many loops" falls on deaf ears when the last 3 loops are several year grinds

[cosmic knoll]

when they make an ai do the roadmaps, they fail to understand that making things huge long grinds does not sell more packs. ppl that buy will buy, ppl that dont buy wont buy ... it just drives them out of the game.

and thats what they want ... only paying players. but they fail to accept that without minnows to feed on, whales leave too. thats something they cant afford after trans-gate last year.

[astral acorn]

Exactly, man are they in for a rude awakening

[restive geyser]

Where is the G5 scrapping site?

[hollow plover]

i assume the sphere will sell badly, but it will still sell (for whatever reason)

[round tapir]

Didn't fix anything

[cosmic knoll]

ive heard, that some whales have a FULL shipyard, so wont buy something they cannot build 😂 they got warned last week, had their heads stuck up their ... yeah.

[round tapir]

Yeah I finally got money I could spend on the game and I can't even play it anymore 😭 some one let me know when you fix the extended zoom so I can play again

[tiny axle]

To add to that, I've noticed that with players leaving, some of the powerful alliances that used to demand players were at a certain Ops level are now having to look further down to G4 and G3 players to fill the ranks because they're worried they won't be able to hold onto territory, win ALBs etc.

Don't forget this new feature about attracting back inactive players. It seems to me that some players are taking time out (me included at the moment).

[astral acorn]

It's just nostalgia bait that's all the ship is, it's gonna sell possibly better than normal but we hope it's a failure

[cosmic knoll]

they cant attract anyone back without:

1. a huge comp for being 💩
2. removing the sales pop-up spam thats going to greet them.
3. fun and engaging content, not huge grinds that will look like a wall of work.

but hey, im no AI, i cant rub scopelys ego, i can only tell them the truth

[astral acorn]

There's such thing as fun and engaging content, you must be lying

[keen loom]

The ship serves no purpose. Another useless content drop.

When is Connor’s promised delivery of stability and performance improvements dropping? No need to answer. We know. Never.

[cosmic knoll]

remember the cardi-madas? that was fun for the first few hours, then the irish team sank it like that other historic irish built object.

[cyan torrent]

My opinion - the cost of 1500 for two Sphere blue prints is too high.

[keen loom]

Of course it is. Spend those doll hairs. Unlock it faster. Just like any specialty ship ever dropped. Just a cash grab.

[astral acorn]

It's not even an armada ship it's for hostiles that serve 0 purpose outside cash grab

[glad saffron]

I built 7 g5 epics for last weekend spend event. Its a real problem now for a lot of players, not just whales.

[unborn field]

Seems a little steep with how hard to come by the credits are ...

[cosmic knoll]

i think they made the double pull only achievable if you own a sphere 😂

[dense belfry]

but you know, scopely doesn't play their own game, they chould't know it before release XD

[unborn field]

I don't even have my dive bar level 20 yet and I've been pretty consistent, my alliance can only clear two of the 3 tasks. Reliably, probably can't even sustain a single pull yet

[astral acorn]

Worst part is, allegedly the playtest CC asked for the price to be lowered and the lead designer said he would....if true then that's even worse

[keen loom]

Scopley is so desperate for good ideas. Here’s a freebie. Start actually listening to the people that keep your lights on.

[tiny axle]

I don't have a problem with players wanting to buy the Sphere - it's their money after all but it sends the wrong message in that they'll still buy new content knowing that Scopely won't fix the numerous issues that plague the game. I don't think it bothers them because of the FOMO element but that ship will become useless in a couple of months when the Athena is released (unless that gets cancelled too).

[unborn field]

PAC gets dissolved (admittedly because the things got leaked so whatever I can understand it) but then they shorten the time between arcs and then release this ship that some people won't even be able to sustain a single pull on? It's pretty obvious they're trying to drive the sale, and that's fine I guess but now we'll be getting more of them because of the more frequent arcs, and likely less time for bug fixing

[astral acorn]

Yep feels as though they want to get every penny as the ship sinks

[keen loom]

[umbral silo]

<@&509690795536941056> in case you haven’t noticed the players you depend on are not happy. I know you are not going to listen, but let me spell this out. Nobody woke up and said i want a new loop, with a new ship. Nobody is asking for this, and nobody wants this. Your game is slow, and has so many bugs at this point, and we’ve had enough. Instead of creating new content how about expanding the current content, and quality of life updates. You could find ways to do new arcs . What do we want? We want G5 scrapping with decent rewards for the work we put in. How about G6 and G7 freebooters, you could tie this in with an ex Borg expansion, and help G6 and G7 get more done, especially if you included hazard systems. How about expanding the mastery artifacts instead of releasing them and doing nothing with it. You could do a mastery artifact that provides ship parts for the ridiculous amount of specialty ships you have released. It is understandable that you need to make money, and at the same time the easiest way to do that is give the players what they have been asking for, that would go a long way to making the game fun again, and maybe players want to spend, if they are enjoying the game again

[proper narwhal]

I suspect Scopely is letting the game die, adding a few more content updates to cash in, and then that's it. I can't explain otherwise why absolutely nothing is being fixed regarding the bugs.

[cloud lantern]

a poor attempt of trying to use the community and alliance bonds to have more people buy the ship...

[limpid dragon]

@raw fiber unless we get an increase in Maverick Credits sourcing by alot this ship and loop is dead on arrival.

200 days to unlock the ship in unthinkable

[stone kestrel]

I'm boycotting the sphere until better sourcing drops, might as well just wait the half year it takes for the BPs to be available in event stores

[mossy sparrow]

1500 credits for 2 pulls . Sure in 1 year we will get that sphere . Stupidity at its finest. Keep it up you doing a great job killing the game

[fluid mist]

welcome to how they've handled every single report I've submitted in the past 7yrs I stopped trying because its very clear they dont help unless your wallet gives them 1k-5k a month

[fluid mist]

must be dst already

[cosmic knoll]

game in maintenance mode by xmas. noone should be buying anything now

[fluid mist]

was an early April fools joke of course and you kinda thought they were seriously gonna give us g5 scrapping they haven't reduced the payout enough yet.

[fluid mist]

you get to enjoy the game without having to engage with the specific content that bugged out seems like a win to me.

[fluid mist]

more than 7 month due to many ftp might not even be in an alliance that has many higher players doing bulk of the alliance tasks each week so they barely getting credits and rep even worse than rest of us.

[solemn rover]

Its not a win. It is an insult. I have been at an ops level that hasn’t been given new content for almost a year and now I’m at a level that they aren’t even given recycled content to. The ops 51-54 players deserve more content than a single sentence can sum up. That was barely even an afterthought

[astral acorn]

Yeah they definitely turned up the greed to 11 and gave us the finger

[fluid mist]

take your money and run it's the more sane choice buddy

[deft heron]

great update. first chest i opened - game crashes. but go on, continue on this path. dont fix anything, just push out content, new great loops, ships, more grind, more currencies please and dont forget to give us more armadas. i`m at the point where i dont care anymore. do what you want. game is dead

[fluid mist]

did scopley make the titanic too wow so you can learn something new everyday rofl.

[fluid mist]

give it another month or 2 and content will be only for lv60 ops they gonna do it to everyone eventually it's the next way to force people to lv up

[crystal moth]

Sorry, 6 months.

[fluid mist]

I'm in an alliance that does the 3 alliance tasks each week and I can tell on day 1 that double pulling will last for literally 10 days if I continue to exchange and credits with anything else. Will last longer if I only do the ship bps but not by much. (Alliance is capped at 105 members and 70 of the are 55+ how much more do you need in an alliance jeez)

[strong vale]

if they want to make more money they should look low-end. I was able to pay £20 for a new drydock at Level 30-something, but if I want another extra one it's £100 - not happening guys - if they had more stuff in the £5-£20 price range, they'd get a lot more impulse buys and purchases from those who don't have a lot of spare dosh to spend on virtual assets IMO

[stone kestrel]

Oh, absolutely. I would've spent a ton more money if stuff wasn't literally a third of my month's food budget.

[fluid mist]

they dont understand this type of logic they forgot many micro transactions add to and people will spend more little amounts instead of big amounts especially if their disposable income isn't in the 1,000s or 10,000s every month like some players.

[sand talon]

Behold the massive QoL update of 170(!) missions rework that i cannot imagine who asked for and squeezing the already implemented in the previous update but thrown in here so the QoL part does not look as small as it is Research Search Tab description, you work hard trying to look like you're working 🏆

[stone kestrel]

Used to buy the monthly BP at least to have an easier time in AT, congrats scopely, even that became wasteful spending

[brittle reef]

Why aren't we getting transporter patterns when pulling these and they're maxed?

[finite mural]

you do get transporter patterns

any officers affected by the efficiency bonus, will show as a regular shard, but they are converting

[brittle reef]

Ok. Will have to check that. But this should be conveyed to the player.

[sand talon]

way to celebrate losing so many players 😄 every time i think 'this is the lowest' you amp it up, bravo Scopely, bravo

[tawdry flax]

Another update and still no additional crew added to Transporter Patterns

[finite mural]

They won't be adding any more officers to that, they have depot tokens now

[fluid mist]

which of course will mean unless you spend more materials and stuff you dont get to unlock new officers easily. That and they'll put new officers in the depot section prolly after they're useless towards hostiles they gonna introduce. Oh wait they're doing that already rofl.

[tawdry flax]

You do understand that the way you acquire Depot Tokens vs Transporter Patterns, makes idea that one is a replacement for the other, completely ridiculous?

[mossy widget]

You know what the truly sad thing is I used to think and would swear with my last breath that there was no game in existence that could beat the amount of glitches lag and all around unplayable games That Game of Thrones Conquest had. Then Star Trek Fleet command in the Years following since I've been playing in the beginning very few issues which was great now the game is getting to the point it's virtually unplayable and has the title of being able to tell a Game of Thrones Conquest here hold my beer I really wish and hope and pray that the Developers/scolplay would get their heads out of their asses and actually hold to their end of the deal and be true to their word when they said quality over quantity they need to refrain from releasing new content as rapidly as they are and go back to the old platform and strategy where would be every 6 months or so if not every year that way they can devote their tech department to keeping the game playable I would hate to see this game end up being sent to permanent maintenance mode ie shut down

[tropic crown]

Did I read right no new mission if below ops 55?

[vocal patrol]

<@&509691205798592532> Sorry to bother you again with this issue, I am at 140/144 ships in shipyard with most being G5, if there is no plan for G5 scrapping, would it be possible to request extra slots and maybe a way to stack ships of same type as scrolling is becoming very hard. Thanks

[keen loom]

Just the latest in the anti player campaign Scopley won’t acknowledge.

[tropic crown]

They don’t want to add it because they don’t want you to get anything for ships you don’t use anymore.

[marsh tide]

Well guess I’m in this batch of people who can’t get into the game after update

[fluid mist]

working as intended scopley would say

[keen loom]

Isn’t this business as usual?

[tardy sky]

So you can't engage with any of the new content in any way whatsoever unless you buy the ship, what a shameless cash grab. Bravo scopely, you've reached a new low. How's that G5 scrapping you promised in April coming along?

[fluid mist]

they haven't nerfed it enough yet of course thats why it isn't out they have to find that happy place that will help them sell more packs and still convince us that g5 scrapping taking so long was worth it rofl

[keen loom]

Remind me. What have we waited for Scopley to deliver that has ever been worth the wait?

[dawn shore]

So the game has moved on from P2W, it's now officially Pay2Play.

[fluid mist]

Oh that's easy the news that the game will end on x date and we're released to enjoy our freedom

[keen loom]

Touché

[tardy sky]

Do these numpties not realise that blatantly insulting their player-base like this doesn't shame us into buying packs? Yes you have the simps who will buy the new ship regardless, but the casual spenders will be put off big time.

[fluid mist]

well you did ask lmfao

[keen loom]

Eventually Scopley will just make the game ad supported - when they figure out every other revenue opportunity has been squandered through player alienation.

[dapper seal]

There's nothing casual about dropping a hundred on a virtual spaceship

[fluid mist]

ya it's been obvious for quite some time they don't care about casual spenders only spenders between 1k-5k and month have scopley's attention. Also the 1k players will be fazed out soon just watch.

[tardy sky]

I'm talking "buy the ship" vs "buy the ship and $10k worth of packs to max it"

[tardy sky]

And at the rate whales are deserting the game, that's a catastrophically bad approach to take...

[fluid mist]

you forgot buy/grind to get ship just so you can kill the new hostile they implement on month 2 after making new hostile on month 1

[zinc terrace]

Quite disappointing that the double pull of blueprints for the sphere is 1500 credits. That would take all credits earned to unlock the ship. That is not sustainable.

[astral acorn]

and they think you'll just buy the ship

[keen loom]

Later today. “We’ve heard your feedback. BP cost has been reduced to 1495 credits for 2 prints.”

You and I know it’s coming. ><

[astral acorn]

you mean increased to 2500

[keen loom]

Still 1495 more credits than I’d drop on another useless ship.

[fluid mist]

thats why I said earlier about me and my alliance as many non spenders don't have the solo tasks yet we have to keep spending to upgrade the building if we doing that we gonna run outta credits for ship bp pulls making it way longer than a 7 month unlock.

[tardy sky]

Who's gonna buy this one-trick-pony ship just to engage with content that's going to be irrelevant by next month? 🤣

[tepid valve]

<@&509691205798592532> Plz tell the Overlords that blueprint costs for the Borg Sphere are waaaay too high. 1 BP should be free, 2 BP should cost 500 Mav creds. This is just another one trick pony ship. And jacking up BP costs will NOT change the minds of any players who already decided not to buy the ship. Instead it will simply add frustration and guarantee that overall player sentiment towards the Arc will be negative 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[zinc terrace]

The best part of this arc will be free excelciors unlock for people in about a week

[dapper seal]

Well fair, I haven't ever reached that degree of whaling anywhere

[finite mural]

the feedback on the blueprints was raised early one when apac went live

[fluid mist]

the people who have no self control to say no and the other people who have too much disposable income to care if it's a 1 trick pony

[keen loom]

We should be applauding Scopley. A content drop so far that allows 99.5% of the awake to log in!

Let’s celebrate!

[fluid mist]

shhh shush you mouth your speaking blasphemy again they'll think they actually did something right meanwhile the giggling like schoolgirls saying wait till event reset...

[tardy sky]

We haven't had the obligatory scoring lag and surprised pikachu face from the devs yet

[fluid mist]

well enough having fun at scopley's expense time to go and touch some grass(more entertaining than stfc is now)

[astral acorn]

i appreciate you and the CMs raising that feedback but im sure the community agrees that we are gonna keep shouting it for quite a while as we hope something is done

[stone roost]

The devs are aware this is a game and games are meant to be fun right?

[opal orchid]

1 rewards (small grammatical error)

[coral dagger]

lol double time to acquire ship while halting other progression, more bad design, more nothing fixed, more people quitting

[keen loom]

Like they weren’t ever gonna do COTA again? Asking for a friend.

[junior sierra]

Is mobile zoom on the list to fix or not?

[tacit wind]

Thanks for welcoming me back... I've only been gone since last night though. It's nice to be missed

[elder pollen]

First Contact Day link in your release notes blog post leads to this

[woeful nymph]

I won't be rewarding the doubling of the free to play acquisition time of the Sphere with purchasing it this month. As a spender in this game, I will not support this kind of blatant attempt to move the line father away from the core playerbase. This is too far.

[frail latch]

Are you guys deleting comments you don't like on the YT video? If so that is really quite sad.

[dawn shore]

If that's the csse would it not be an idea to stop issuing TPs and replace them with the ODTs?? And of course the ODTs should give EXACTLY the same exchange rate, not less.

[sour shale]

So... instead of expanding current content (Freebooter, existing Borg, Dominion, DQ, etc) for the mid/higher ranges 55+, you add new content... which is similar.... but somehow you make it just more of a grind and just as repetitive... just with a new wrapper? New Borg.... what about the old Borg? Enemies that you can kill with a shiny new ship.... that will take a year F2P.... Take away key officers to make it seem like its a challenge.... What are you guys building to? What's next..... you will need to have specific faction ships to kill other faction ships? Certain FT/CT will not work on certain hostiles in certain systems... but will work in others. The Borg cutting beam will only work on days that in in "x".... come on? Do you not have people that actually play the game (and not get paid for it) to run content ideas past? Just like Hollywood... YOU think you know what we want... but you don't.

[tardy sky]

Wasn't the NX-01 supposed to be added to the archives this month too? Or is that just another forgotten promise, like G5 scrapping, G6 freebooters, and fixing the lag?

[tardy sky]

Stop giving them ideas bro...

[sour shale]

oops..... true. Sorry🙄

[balmy shadow]

See, they took the cube skin, made it a sphere, and made it so the mav store has the best suff, and if you dont buy it then youll get left behind. Ia and g5 scrapping? Na.

[rare vale]

Here's an idea, how about we stop making every new hostile immune to the GS31 and cube beams? What was the point of making those ships if they'd just become useless for all future content?

[sage wadi]

That's just the same what they make with officers.

[rare vale]

I truly hope people dont FOMO the sphere because of the new hostiles. The business strategy of pay to play needs to not be supported

[restive geyser]

Is there anything you can play without that damn sphere? As far as I can see, you need that damn ship for all the new stuff.

[sage wadi]

Soon Vengeance owners will face "Only FKR" or "Only special" ships allowed in fights. But actually the second one already here.

[sage wadi]

No. You are free from this content for 100-200 days

[restive geyser]

filthy thing

[obsidian gazelle]

Scopely didn't say G5 scrapping was coming in April, they said there will be an update on WHEN G5 scrapping is coming...

[vestal cave]

not seeing anything that great in maverick anyway borg sphere could take 5 years to get and i'd not notice or miss anything. Compared to DTI maverick is like F tier quality.

[rare vale]

Why is Marla now wearing a hat?

[finite mural]

to differentiate her from her twin sister.

[sage wadi]

And actually yes, there is no real value there. Sphere is only for be able to do loop, but no reward for the loop.

[woeful nymph]

The biggest failure of the Maverick faction, which bleeds down into the Sphere, is that Scopely has buried the rewards so deep in the rep levels and made the gap between them so large, that players are not willing to invest their $ into accelerating the Maverick loop because it's all too far out of reach for them to care <@&509690795536941056>

Ex Borg did not have the same issue

[chrome elm]

the point is to make them useless 🤣

[restive wraith]

So this new arc and new hostile blows up any ship except the Sphere? So what you are saying is people have to purchase it to compete the Maverick Tasks - so its Pay to Play now or wait 100 days for the ship on F2P - proper poor effort that scopely

[chrome elm]

yes

[restive wraith]

Greed shows no bounds of abating it seems - good luck with that

[olive summit]

100? Make that 200. I doubt ppl f2p-ing mav store can keep up with the max pull

[coral dagger]

It's 100 days with high Maveric Credit spend 2 chest option. 200 days if you don't want to stall literally everything else Maveric related.

It's completely DOA

[haughty sail]

Really happy I did well on COTA so I can tier up my cochrane. O wait, no 25K!!! of the credits to tier him to T2 and you also just made the ship BP wildly expensive. We can barely afford 500 a day for the building, now that's on pause for 1 ship BP a day. So Cochrane tiering will be sometime in 2027 at this point

[final python]

ya, the pricing for the double pull (even single pull) is really high to go along with the building pull that you need to level to get more credits, the loop is just in its own way and will take 6 months to get anything besides being able to just acquire the things to be able to do the loop. the currency is split 3 ways between research, ship bps, and building to just get the loop up and running with little benefit to other gameplay in the interim so you are basically spending months and months to see any real benefit outside of being able to do the loop slightly better.

[pastel kindle]

Players are just tired of this game being a full time job. Everything in this game is such a slog

[restive wraith]

Think players are just as tired of being taken for granted by throwing our events you cant physically complete, now an Arc based around a ship you have to purchase and then they dont help with gameplay when you present a problem to them

[coral dagger]

They're not making things hard to do. They're making things easy to skip.

[restive wraith]

Just imagine if NO ONE bought the new ship....the Arc would be a waste of time for them and waste of resources to set up....be an abject failiure

[coral dagger]

Amongst my Alliance it doesn't seem anyone is going to be

[elder pollen]

You did it better in the Borg Cube release with bp in the arcs so everyone could get in on the action, but then a long process to bring the ship up to usefulness (too long to be of any use imho but…)

But lately you’re releasing new arcs with everything of any real use buried under (often ridiculously painful) rep grinds with terrible sourcing

Imagine Vegas forcing all customers to vacuum the carpets and clean the toilets before allowing them anywhere near the tables. That’s what this feels like

[rare vale]

I wish. I think something like this would be the only thing to get their attention and possibly get them to start changing their business strategy.

[bright flicker]

1500 Mav credits for a double Sphere pull and 25k for the first tiering of Cochran? Why are you gatekeeping your content? Most games design events to encourage engagement and participation and yet this one seems to discourage us from even trying to go after the new stuff. Looks like it's just another slow roll and hoard loop.

[oak bone]

Because the entire game is designed to encourage spending , not player engagement

[sinful grotto]

Pls reopen the Ferengi Store from the CoTA events

[finite mural]

it was reopened for 12 hours, don't think they'll be reopening it again

if you have any leftover currency that you need to exchange, you'll need to open a support ticket #👽-how-to-contact-support

[ivory rain]

In case you haven't noticed: This lousy game seems to be barely generating any money anymore or meeting Scop's expectations... That's why they're now using an aggressive approach to rip us off even more.

[cosmic knoll]

they should have listened to players 2 years ago and it wouldnt have collapsed last year

[strong vale]

every few months they should have a cash-in window for all those old tokens we have which didn't add up to anything at the time but collectively could buy something

[unkempt goblet]

Every other pull in my faction stores this morning just about would do this and then the only way to get out of this screen is to restart the whole game.

[oak bone]

That's ok, Scopley knows better what players want, we are obviously wrong. That's why about half of my alliance has stopped playing and my server is quiet every day.

[opal orchid]

Treshold? Telling ya, proofreading is a basic skill

[finite mural]

clear local

[fluid mist]

it was alluded to by a red name it would probably be out in first quarter back in February which also means came from scopley since they're the bridge to scopley and from scopley to us.

[frail latch]

Got literally millions in hundreds of currencies from the past 7 years. Will that ever get addressed? Might actually help stabilise the game if it can all be cleaned up

[proper narwhal]

This is the third time today that everything is stuck and I haven't received the chest loot. Scopely, you are the biggest bunglers in world history. https://prnt.sc/jf1BUWLhPbMa

[obsidian gazelle]

I have been hearing summer 🏝️. For awhile..

[sinful walrus]

Nobody beats the literacy levels of Scopely content 😂

[finite mural]

clear local, the text was fixed

[fluid mist]

well guess we'll see either way but tbh I'll be happy if it even works I'm not worried about what rewards I'll get just for the thing to actually work since history has shown us since g4 scrapping happened thing often don't work when released.

[fossil oracle]

Stop complaining and be Happy for Mara. She got a new hat!

[obsidian gazelle]

What I've been hearing, Scopely made G4 scraping is way too lucrative and now are trying to figure how to deal with G5

[coral dagger]

Yes it was terrible people were able to progress their accounts

[obsidian gazelle]

I'm about to scrap an Ent A and pay for the Ent D f2p

[opal crane]

Question, is there anything to do in this arc if you don't buy the ship?

[finite mural]

doesn't look like it

[pliant kernel]

Has anyone found the new missions for the Arc? Contact restored & Ripples?

[opal crane]

Scopely very specifically said that they thought about only allowing us to "scuttle" ships, and get nothing back. And that they didn't want Scrapping to be a means of progression. When they finally add G5 scrapping, it will be worthless. It was in one of the videos.

[obsidian gazelle]

But the economy of ship scraping pays out huge material rewards

[opal crane]

Yeah.... that's the "problem" to Scopely. They said that they don't want scrapping of G5 to be a means of progression.

[cloud lark]

Scrapping g4 ships was all about the amount of g5 rare ship parts you get.

[obsidian gazelle]

I totally agree. I get 10ks of epic 5* frequently..

[opal crane]

You agree that ship scrapping shouldn't help you with progression? lol

[obsidian gazelle]

And Scoops feels I'm stealing from them

[obsidian gazelle]

No. I agree that Scopely thinks it's a problem

[tropic crown]

So am I reading right no new missions for sub 55?

[restive geyser]

@raw fiber@tidal notchThe images in the First Contact Day (meta) and Homestead Story Sheet (meta) are rubbish. Since these are supposed to be meta events, I'd like a meta reward. There are four frames and avatars or something like that. Please replace them with 50 pieces of the Sphere each. That way, the events deserve the meta reward.

[opal crane]

10000%. Upper management needs to be fired, but Scopely's 'Daddy' entity brings on 'experts' to their acquisitions to 'guide' the company to more profits. They have no idea about what motivates the community to spend, to feel 'connected' to the game. And here we are.

[opal crane]

They're not going to give you the ship if you do events. That would cut into their margins.

[woeful nymph]

It's clear the increasing the time of acquisition is to try and make the wait time so long that they "encourage" players to buy the ship. Little do they know that most spenders won't buy it just to spite them as we actually do care about the free to play players, and we don't want them to get completely cut off from new gameplay loops

[obsidian gazelle]

Idk what these first contact vouchers are ...

[restive geyser]

There's definitely a translation error.

[raw fiber]

bye phoenix...

good catch

checking

[waxen patio]

why is that an error, it just says "the phoenix" in English too

[restive geyser]

I misunderstood something. Sorry.

I have a Scopely translator. I'm just glad it doesn't spits out Chinese. 😄

[ivory rain]

And now it gets ridiculous… First you drive the players away with your incompetence, and now you want us to bring them back for you? From now on, your credibility is completely gone.

[coral dagger]

O boy new popups

[restive geyser]

First I want to see what I get for my efforts.

[loud cove]

<@&509690795536941056>

[cosmic knoll]

ah getting US to recruit returning players ... so they can get hit by the (for them) new pop-ups ?

very good idea TIM, ill be sure to pass that along to the <@&509690795536941056> so they can inform you that anyone returning will be hit with a pop-up and uninstall again, for good.

[fluid mist]

there is a simple way to actually negate the lucrative side of scrapping ships and it's so easy are you ready for it and this is to scopley too. Stop give us sooooooo many older ships blueprints when we hit hostiles that should be giving higher level ship blueprints. Also lower the rng of even getting ship bps from chests period. This way if we aren't getting a full ship unlock once a day(for some ships) or once a week it doesn't matter on how good scrapping is we wouldn't be able to stockpile thousands and thousands of materials for free. Wow doesn't this sound like an idea that would make acopley happy and make us less free stuff it does i gave the same idea to scopley almost 4 years ago when g4 scrapping came out and I saw how much mats it paid out. They've done nothing in this regard too.

[timber root]

At least I know I can ignore all these events

[oak lava]

Sphere BP costs\time to unlock is complete BS.

[umbral gull]

Removal of pay info in the store seems to have worked for me

[ebon jackal]

listen very carefully:
I am not your salesperson

if I am not an employee I am not going to act as customer retention for you, Scopely

[drowsy topaz]

FRACTURE code doesn't work

[coral dagger]

My brothers in Christ, need to get 7 people back in the game to complete the SMS when we can't even convince people to stay

[woeful nymph]

1. Make Free to play acquisition of the Sphere take 2x as long as past ships. 2) Ask the players you just de-valued to invite their friends. 3) Fail miserably at connecting and understanding your playerbase

Daily Scopely task complete

[lofty musk]

The webstore is incredibly slow trying to claim things or even see what’s in bundles

[restive geyser]

I knew it. The reward is garbage. You can't even give us a decent reward for something like this. It's so cheap you think we'll bring players back for it. Turning this into an event shows you don't give a damn about us.

[sterile pecan]

🤣🤣 you have to be absolutely kidding me! You expect us to invite people back to this abomination of a game and suffer with us? Not doing it! Especially after the server merge. Absolute joke!

[abstract wedge]

Getting players to recruit players who quit is HILARIOUS.

[verbal shale]

"Active Duty Recall"

Who ever came up with this idea should be ashamed of themselves tbh.
I get what you were trying to do, but it probably would have been a better idea to run this AFTER you fix all the issues that you players are constantly raising

Could you imagine the conversation?
"Hey friend, come back to STFC"
"Yeah I been thinking about it, how are the arenas?"
"Still buggy as hell and the pairings still put lvl 42 players against players with 10x their ship power"
"Ohh, that sounds terrible, at least we can do some incursions together"
" Nah, they took half the fun out of it, shortened the time, and locked you out of the game when you tried to go back to you're server"
Ohhh, that sounds worse, have they at least fixed all the other bugs and the lag?"
"Nah, no change there either."
"Ohhh, so why should I come back?"
" Honestly I don't know ... They offered me some pretty cr@p rewards if you did, but your right, it's really not worth it, in fact I dunno why I'm still playing"

[wary hare]

"ACTIVE DUTY RECALL PROGRAM" --> You want US to vouch for YOU?!

[tropic crown]

With each update we lose more and more players from our fleet.

[hoary saffron]

Bwahahahaha, rewards for inviting inactive players back. Smacks of desperation. Maybe, just maybe fix the game and they will return.

[fleet moss]

Congratulations on another "succesful" release to Scopely 😄

• We genuinely appreciate your consistency in delivering more bugs with every release, the game wouldn't be the same without them!
• You absolutely aced in evaluating the community opinions on the progress of the game, desperately trying to get players to bring back those who had enough 😄 -- only to be a laughing stock of the community once again!
• We truly appreciate all the rewards without relevant reward stores 😄
• Oh, and an amazing true quality arc with ships that almost everyone has ops-locked again with useless materials, zero new officer shards, what an arc!
• Thanks for making free players wait twice as long for the new ship than they had to for previous new ships, just fewer of us will even care about the new stuff you bring into the game 😄
  All in all, great success! Now, go ahead, make a marketing video with more self-patting on the back about how great your new content is and how exciting and how amazing! While more players stop paying, more leave the game, and the general opinion of the company will fall below what once was thought an impossibility 😄
  Again, congratulations to the Ferengi management with Pakled employees! 😄

improve the game and cease breaking it and then ill reavaluate my stance. but i doubt you even hear what im saying cause all your out for is $ !

[violet root]

Am I losing my freaking mind? They quit because Scopely won't listen and fix the bugs but they add more content that creates more bugs. Look at the release, new, new, new... But old stuff is still BROKEN!!!

[pale drift]

nope your not. they removed my post again theyr not listening to us and sensoring REAL feed back in lue of all the gifs

[finite mural]

Feedback isn't being censored, rude behavior is.

[forest vector]

lol what about us players who completed the pull before the #temporal-rift announcement for a screenshot? @raw fiber

how was exsperessing my true feelings about scopleys behavior rude behavior? let me guess me saying that last part lol ok whatever it wasnt rude it was honest

I find it hilarious that I was questioning the Sphere monetization, and can’t see the pack anywhere…..lol

[pale drift]

ok ill just rephrase it then: ok scopley In reguards to your Active Duty Recall Program. No! fix the game. I'm not going to lie to former players saying you've improved the game when so much is broken and you continue to add more content and break it further!

[pale drift]

there is that better

[tropic crown]

<@&509690795536941056> Missions key claim on web page seems broke .

[vivid ginkgo]

you can always tell them "if you think the lag was bad before come back and find out how worse it became"

[opaque raft]

Why would i make myself a totally rediculous laughing stock by asking anyone to return to this crapware?

[sage wadi]

Scopely, it’s your responsibility to bring your former players back into the game with proper content and a player-friendly approach. If I invite friends back in its current state would be the biggest insult, because as it stands now, I wouldn’t recommend the game to anyone.

[opal crane]

Yes, if you don't spend 100 USD to buy the new ship, there is literally nothing to do on this arc. The hostiles instantly kill you.

[pale drift]

yeah I'm No ones Pimp lol

[old seal]

There's a reason players left .. arguably the clever ones 😂 who I would actively discourage from coming back. This game has become a grind fest with a price tag.

[vocal plover]

I would never suggest anyone get back into this mess if they successfully got away

[opal crane]

Also, if Janeway is on your ship, it instantly kills you.

They'll release officers that are effective, and if you don't have them, you are neutered.

[marsh ocean]

yeah but to not see anything in the battle log is crazy. also took her off.

[pale drift]

theres one form of feedack that they cant make go poof and thats the Mobile device Stores like the Google playstore and such. which for a lot makes peoples mind up on wether to play the game or not

[cinder shadow]

write down something useless in the game... I start: hostile auto kill

[old seal]

New content idea....BattleStarGalaticTrekWars.

[pale drift]

anyways on to my dailies lol

[opaque raft]

Its a weird mechanic. Seems more like scopely coded stuff and afterwards they realise their ideas conflicted with perks of existing officers. Looks like a panic idea.
Remember the Gaila issue?
Guess they never learn

[opal crane]

You took her off, hit with the Borg Sphere, and you still got insta deleted?

[opal crane]

It's whole point is to force you to 'need' the new officers. The new Primes. The new Artefacts, FT, CT, etc, etc. To spend. To buy. To make the 'old' no longer have any utility.

[keen loom]

Why would anyone advocate players return to a game when:

a) the reasons people left and the underlying causes remain.
b) the product is at an all time high in terms of instability.
c) the owner of the product does not take seriously anything that doesn’t result in card swipes.

Address that, then ask us to bring people back.

[opaque raft]

They still arent able to hide their abject greed

[loud cove]

What Test Environment?! We, the players, are your TEST Environment! Wake up!!! You don’t even test before pushing the code live.

[rich elm]

Thanks for the new content I will be able to experience in 3 months. That will for sure be something I can tell others to expect when coming back /s

[untold frost]

You broke the kirshara worse than before. Now it randomly clears the queue when adding a hostile

[jolly gust]

That's just every arc

[opal crane]

Previously, you could do something. Just ineffectual. There's absolutely nothing to do with the new hostiles.

Why should WE stabilize anything?
Scopely has to stabilize the game

@tidal notch @raw fiber any feedback on why the key isn't claimavle in webstore. Considering thats the only way to get 20 keys in 20 days kinda makes the event a little useless dont you think?????

[pale drift]

this all would be avoided if they did like other online games like Star Trek online. they have a test server by invite or request to join to be a tester called "tribble" its their test server. with all the merges you should have a server that has no population you could easily turn into a test server. so does most the other main stream MMORPG's

$100 or 200 days, I'd rather add it to the pile of things I don't want to add to the pile of things to do

3 months…..it’s closer to 6

[fluid mist]

In order for your codes to work on the webstore you do know the webstore needs to be working right.....

[wanton owl]

regarding promo code: you can clearly tell which OPS level a player has while claiming, why not make 1 code and change the contents depending on ops lvl?

[tropic crown]

<@&509690795536941056> your web page seems to be busted can’t claim the redeem code or mission keys.

[fluid mist]

sweet I just tried code again for giggles and now I'm not eligible for the 55+code wierd as according to your game I'm ops62 does your servers have contact with the website or is that broken too now

[worn stream]

<@&509690795536941056> promo codes aren't working

Looking like a lost cause, can’t kill lvl 55 new hostiles. not buying a ship just to do it. more scopely fail.

[oak nexus]

When I put in code FRACTURE it told me I was not eligible, but when I returned in game I got the reward.

[pale drift]

i cant access your webstore through Chrome and ive cleared all Browser data for the site. firefox loads but when i claim the Mission Keys for the event it says i claimed it but not really

Not able to use the code says inelgibile in game and webstore

To put it VERY mildly, i’m not happy with the autocompletion of missions without getting the faction rep they promised to give.
I archived many just to get the faction rep later, when i need it.
<@&509690795536941056>
Why are these missions autocompleting in the first place?

Rewards for the code are insulting. What are you lot thinking?!

[tame spade]

sighs heavily. really?

[ionic bluff]

Well this game is not for me anymore. This new event show me that again this game become pice of 💩

Wish you all good luck in RL. Hope you will find Peace on this ugly bugged game

[vague grotto]

another sack of bug ridden rubbish, you obviously care not of your player base, shame, if you just spent the time fixing what is wrong, and it will take a while there is that much broken, you would have a brilliant game, now your devs constantly make them selves look like they havent got a clue what there doing releasing broken release after broken release...... Do any of you actually play this game ??? can you say your proud of your work you put in to this... that dev team needs a major rework

[tame spade]

And NOW I tried the code again and Apparantly I’m not eligible for the lvl55+ redeem code even though I’m level 64… yeah…

[jaunty prism]

lol I knew when I read that note that they would make a bunch of people angry. Why else do they think people are doing these missions?

[finite mural]

check in game, it may have redeemed

[frail sinew]

So it's good to know that you can only manage the skin events in the new ARC if you buy the new ship. It takes at least 200 days without money... It's slowly time to uninstall it

[tame spade]

In game as I type this. Swapping back and forth. Nothing popped up. Unless I got whatever it was and it hasn’t told me.
And no, I’m not bothering with support for 3-4 days over it. Back to grinding dailies.

[mild steppe]

What a shock, only the new ship can kill the new hostiles

Hi everyone, do anyone has redemption code that I can use at lvl 19-20 please 🙏 and thank you been at 19 for 2 mo

Nope and it not working for me anyways or mission keys

[tame spade]

Code still says ineligible, in game I got no voucher from it and no ‘claim voucher’ thing either like someone keeps saying I should get. Nothing.

Edit: now it says under maintainence again.

[raven atlas]

No new missions? Nothing new in holodeck

[finite mural]

check the event store and see if it claimed and let you exchange here

[tame spade]

Nope

[fluid mist]

maybe we should just get a chest comp for the code or key in store since apparently things don't get put out without breaking key components of your game

[finite mural]

That's not the screen i posted

Ops 20–50
Use code FRACTURE.

is your code

Unless you're not g4

like your tag says

I’m 64. I used FcPt2 which didn’t work

FCP2

Nothing new but I am only ops 43 so don’t matter to Scopley.

FcPt2 is not the code

anyone know where the Interplexing Beacon CT is via the packs?

I’m 30 and was never made part of arc storylines. Seems like i do not exist for scopely. Total ignorance

[tame spade]

Still nothing. Site kicked me back to the home link when I hit redeem.
This popped up in game, but still no voucher. Guess I don’t get one

[finite mural]

That is the code

you have to do the sms for the voucher

sorry wrong screenshot, hold on

need to do this

[weary linden]

I am 67 and FCP2 did not work

it says I am ineligilble

Got ya. Alliance member threw me off by claiming he got the voucher from the code.. probably did that event and didn’t realize it.

[finite mural]

that is for ops 55+

🤬 Seroiusly what are you doing Scopely? The web store not working,and you are asking us to help bring back old players that quit. 🤣

[acoustic geyser]

So we can spend the epic faction maverick credits to speed up acquisition of the sphere thanks to our spenders right? So we can actually engage with the loop / new content right?

[tropic crown]

They don’t know.

[loud cove]

Don’t worry about today’s Patch 89 woes! Zefram’s lazy eye will carry us all to VICTORY!

[fluid mist]

dont forget they have time to make announcements on current arc or missions yet the store still ain't working this long after reset that directly impacts events or even redeeming the codes but hey nothings more important than making an announcement on something that ain't broke right....

[untold frost]

Its infuriating that the new maverick solo tasks are tied not just to having the sphere but also to the tier of the ship. There are so many hidden paywalls lately its getting incredibly hard to keep engaging. If I can kill the hostiles with a T1 sphere, give me the points for the appropriate level task. I'm sorry you can't design a feature that properly scales with the current state of the game.

[abstract wedge]

Yep. ANOTHER DUMPSTER fire arc and now you want us recruiting for you? Take a hike. If you fixed the basic performance I'd be inclined to care. Maybe I'd even spend more. But until Scopely gets its act together....not going to do it. You guys have truly lost your mind.

[dawn cave]

What's this ? Our former members who have left the game did so because they felt fed up, burnt out and needed to leave the grind behind. The friendships we have built up through the game down the years mean we ultimately respect the decisions that they make. I for one will not be reaching to old members who decided their time was better spent elsewhere for a small paltry reward that means nothing.

The management should be treating that players you have left with better levels of respect than you are currently showing, so we don't leave and join our old friends.

Then and only then we can spread through word of mouth, organically, how great this game is. Instead of the blatant cash grab it has become, and a game full of crazy bugs and lag.

This is my opinion, and I have voiced it.

[peak charm]

Uninstalled.. Yes, I needed to mention that, because I was working on this job app 7 years..

We’ve can’t seem to brake through the interference, and years of bugs and bad performance.

Guess you like players who leave in drones, most players take 200 days or more just to unlock this ship, and then you still have to level the ship. This game is dead.

Me Yesterday: I'm barely hanging on. This game is too buggy - even for the most mundane activities
Me Today: Hey Team, I put up a 7-day shield. I'm going to step back for a bit and figure things out
My Team: Good decision, this arc SUX, lol

[ashen star]

They must have lost players in huge droves to offer rewards to get them back into the game……..and I don’t see them recovering much given how badly this arc is going and how totally boring the officers are. Which is tragic, first contact is arguably the best movie

[loud cove]

GM Connor must be soooo proud of this path of “improvement” and transparency.

[rare vale]

Im sitting here waiting for Connor to put out a video saying, "April fools!!! No way we'd be dumb enough to put out an arc this awful while simultaneously asking you to invite players back to a game they left for reasons we've yet to actually fix."

Incursion got canceled. Didn't they get the memo?

[old seal]

I can't imagine anyone reading the "storyline".
Click . Fly ship. Click. Pay Tritanium. Click. Return to base. click. Send ship. Click . Kill 10 hostiles. Click. return to base. Collect rewards. End of story

[vivid frigate]

there is a story line?

[dusky sky]

You know what this makes me want to do? Quit entirely.

Because this clearly shows that you know your game is failing, and yet rather than actually fix things, you're coming to the players that you have been treating like trash and asking us to go to our friends and get people back in this game. We are neither your wallets nor your PR department. We are the players you are supposed to be creating this game for, but all you do is show us again and again and again that we are nothing more than a resource you want to exploit!

You want us to go to our friends and get them back in the game? Fix what's broken. Get rid of the ridiculous changes EVERYONE is telling you are not wanted. Compensate the players who have been so loyal as to continue playing when everything is broken. Do literally ANYTHING that we need and ask for so we can go to them and tell them that it's actually worth it now. That it's even a little bit fun again.

Until then? Hard pass.

[tired bear]

Is it just me or is this game now hidden behind a pay wall talk about milking it

[sage wadi]

People naturally try to get their friends to join if they actually enjoy the game. If the game isn’t good anymore (which is the case), then there is no need to punish friends with it. Giving rewards is a silly move. Also it is your job Scopely, to get back your players, with proper content and behaviour.

[chrome field]

I feel like lately this is getting way out of hand with the annoying pop ups.
This game is becoming Raid Shadow Legends and I hate it

<@&509690795536941056>, it’s time to have an honest talk about this event.

1. Given the state of the game and the issues that have been plaguing us just the last week, do you think this is actually a good idea?

2. People have been leaving FOR GOOD REASON! When they ask, “is the lag gone”, “has scopes made any visibility effort to fix the serious problems of the game” or “are the events still horribly tone deaf, money grabbing, not fun stuff we really could just skip”, should we lie like scopes management and say there is a roadmap to fix the issues and by the way last incursions ran so smoothly it was butter upon silk?

3. If there had been ANY improvement at all in the past three months, this “event” would be amazing and we would be pushing it and we’d. e trying to get our friends back online. as it stands, they are the ones that broke their stfc addictions and i’m proud of them. I will not be trying to fish them back into (honestly) an abusive dev-gamer relationship just to score a few points.

Honestly shame on scooely for trying to get old players back without even acknowledging their own failures of late.

<@&509690795536941056> heres something i think you could pass onto the scopely overlords about adding specialty ships and that rule should be if we add a new ship then that ship needs to be unlocked by the end of the arc it was introduced yes players can still play to get it sooner so they can make money but it should be unlocked by the end of the month. this was proven back when the cube was added when you could unlock it in 10 days if you bought the pass for that month this whole pricewalling content isnt fun and it makes more people quit the game by the arc

[urban goblet]

They dont have to acknowlege anything - that dos not work anymore - they have to show results

[grave quest]

truth is, they don’t even strive for the super low bar of ‘acknowledgement”

[ocean surge]

i dont think scopely have a bar at this point just buy this and buy that then you can do this the game has got more paywalls than an of page

[slow river]

Having issue claiming mission key in store. Anyone else?

I did enjoy the belowdecks storyline. But normally yes: click the txts away as quickly as possible

[fluid mist]

naw worse raid ain't even this bad

[fluid mist]

ya they dont know how to fix something thats free but if you had to pay for the key oh it'd be fixed within minutes you can bet the world on that

[warped vault]

I also love that every new hostiles now, is immune to the Borg Beam and the Wave Beam. Its almost as if all that time invested in something is completely meaningless. Along with the sheer amount of things in the Star Trek Universe that are apparently immune to the Borg Beam of all weapons. . . .

[umbral silo]

This could also be called how to loose a friend

[limber steeple]

Invite people back? You haven't addressed the reason they left. Hard no.

[autumn badge]

A mobile game which has morphed into a full time job, and requires keeping on top of CC, discord, hours just clicking for basic pulls, endless new ships and grinds….

…and all the while with the relentless pursuit of the basics put to one side.

I don’t understand why any player is pouring money into this game when it is falling apart.

I haven’t the time or energy for this weapons-grade gaslighting.

#⭐-official-announcements message

not much left of our patience and understanding…

[umbral silo]

Have to get the store working though 🤣

[vocal plover]

You know things have gotten bad when the store shuts down 🤣🤣

[slender ledge]

Great, it's a wrap. Shut down the game servers and call it a day. Been a good 8 year run. No, sorry, it's been a 8 year run.

[indigo sentinel]

I'm not sure why I'd buy the Borg Sphere, which is a shame because I have been anticipating this for months. But what I'm seeing is basically an entry to an extra grind addition to an already inensive grind feature (Maverick tasks). Paying to get the Sphere now would slightly speed up my progress for some of that G7 efficiency research, and the rest is just "neat" items like the artifacts. G7 progress is already slow enough for me that I don't mind doing this content f2p. That's my feeling on the Borg Sphere as a low (aka strategic) spending ops 71 player.

Here's what would get me more excited.

1. Make the Sphere useful in PvE outside of its loop by giving it a scoring bonus vs. other parts of the Maverick grind tasks - both solo and alliance versions (FKR, Agg, Transogen).
2. More immediately useful Faction Store goodies. Instead of Veil Shards (who would spend precious currency on that?) let us buy Primordial Plasma. Instead of Dauntless research currency let us buy Dauntless ship parts.
3. Replace the Assimilation Protocol Refit (cool idea but very useless) with something useful. As-is, nobody is using this ship in pvp.

[fathom briar]

Lol…, I see…. So you thought we’d rush right over to the store to purchase sphere upgrades so we could finish the next few levels of the Borg Hostile Hunt tasks 😅…. Yeah, so uhmmmm, no….

You greedy little money hordes…. Now you also know why we aren’t reaching out to ANY former commanders to invite those who left back - I mean, you know, the pay-to-play, no ability to progress without the exorbitant spend - that’s why they left!

[fluid mist]

seriously it took you 4hrs to make an announcement about the promo codes not working which was 2hrs after store was reported to be not working for the daily key exchange wow yet you had time for several arc related announcements got it priorities I keep forgetting that

[acoustic geyser]

It was like that with incursions too. Took 6 odd hours for them to shut it down with APAC screaming at them. Timezones are an issue and so apparently are communication channels during apac peak times

[opaque raft]

Its a total mess at scopely’s.
They have no clue what they are doing

[fluid mist]

it's really frustrating sometimes knowing that it's 2026 and technology has come so far compared to what it was back in the 90s and yet there was less issue's and faster responses back then compared to now even with people that's "supposed" to know more about computers and technology.. Makes me feel like with the little I know I could do a better job

[raven atlas]

Noticed hardly any memes here atm, as one would expect after normal, bugged, arcfall.
Apparently scopely’s structural failing reached to be beyond funny to laugh about it

[grave quest]

[tidal notch]

How's the store look now?

[broken shale]

Seriously ridiculous…. 6 https://discord.com/channels/509679626763632640/1369773683245318324 posted in the last 6.5 hours.

[marsh oracle]

After today’s events and seeing the new issues I’m actually considering leaving this game for something that actually works. Like enjoying Real Life with family and friends!

[acoustic geyser]

I expect issues from time to time. But the track record suggests no one is actually taking the time to learn from them. That makes me more frustrated than the issues themselves 😔

[grave quest]

i put in over 600 hours in stellaris the past 4 months because of almost giving up on this game.

[acoustic geyser]

Hey Stellaris is a great game I put in over 4k hours in it and not because of this game it's good on its own

[loud cove]

Better but still overall continued execution is thumbs down

https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-down-you-adam-sandler-gif-14612875

[grave quest]

you misunderstand me. i put in so many hours in such a short time into they game because i’m not on stfc

[raven atlas]

Oh and btw:
NO thanks to autocompleting archived missions without giving me the faction rep. I carefully archived them for later use when i needed the rep.

There must be something severely wrong with whoever brought up this idea.

Scopely has stolen reputation
🤬

[grim obsidian]

pretty funny you're asking about the store... lol ... of all the things... you pop in here after a while of nothing and ask about the store... cause that affects game play so much... . either way.... everything is still overpriced, so I guess you guys fixed it

[bleak gale]

hey scoply if you could do this for the refinery i think it would help with finding things so each refinery would me like this sure ads cklicks but at least you can find them better like its hard to find what looking for

[celest zinc]

Why would we ever invite more players to join with the game in the state it is in? It's consistently too laggy and unresponsive for weeks now, it has very very old known bugs not resolved and you introduce MORE bugs with each update. At this rate the game will be dead very soon.
What you need to do is just stop. Fix what you have completely. Then think about adding more, slap yourself for thinking you fixed everything and can add more, go back and fixed what you missed.

[hybrid lake]

Such a desperate and stupidly pitiful move by Scopley. I refuse to send that link , this is what happen when you loosing your player basements, first server merge and this , AWS JOB

[marsh oracle]

Great job Scopely.

That claim totally locked up the game.

Now it’s rebooting tablet and log in again

[keen loom]

I refine my original prediction of 18 months until maintenance mode to 12 months. Scopley just doesn’t learn.

[loud cove]

My FAVORITE bug is when you rapid fire refinery claims only for the game to throw hurdles in your sprint just to remind you what rewards where claimed in a separate screen splash only to dump you back out at the left side of the scroll or better yet completely out of the Refinery menu….. hahahaha… oh boy… haha SUCH GOOD TIMES.

It’s one that keeps getting “fixed” but returns like clockwork

[grave quest]

with the referral event, 6.

[umbral silo]

Or send the link to a second account you haven’t logged into for awhile, collect the rewards, go back to not playing the second account, and hope scopely does it again next month 🤣🤣🤣

[keen loom]

Wish we could get the same focus on bugs and performance as Scopley has on the webstore. Seriously.

[fluid mist]

well the key retrieving part of it works fine now

[fluid mist]

that doesn't make us buy packs according to the polls they've done

but making a sphere aimed at new hostiles we didn't need well that sure.sells packs rofl

[unreal geyser]

Funny, this was supposed to be fixed. Brokely struck again.

[finite mural]

different fix

[ruby cargo]

Do you people bother to beta test any of this crap before you cut it loose on us?

[pulsar venture]

some may say why bother while others want to try, you may not realise you are the beta tester

[opal zodiac]

Code still not working.

[rigid hornet]

it's a broken link please fix it soon I took collect my resources

[fast oak]

.

[junior sierra]

Temporal rift channel just reminds me of how cray cray inventory is 🤣

[loud cove]

As of one minute ago…. Redeem Code not working @tidal notch

[finite mural]

Are you ops 55+?

[loud cove]

Yes 60

[quaint haven]

Needing to check my email to sign into your website every freaking day for a mission key is absolute garbage.

[finite mural]

try FCP2 again

make sure no spaces

[loud cove]

Nope

[gentle tusk]

Fix the ZOOOOOOOOOOOM!

[tidal notch]

Sent you a DM?
