But that would mean you progress faster 
Yeah and pls stop this Support bot from popping up all the time
Seriously, maintenance during the last hour of lat rush š¤£š
How about when you are level 38 plus and you kill a hostile you donāt get ship bp for a kumari and vahklas but you get uc g3 rewards ? People donāt need the ship bp from level 20 when there in there 40ās !!!!!!! Time to fix the hostile chests
@tacit obsidian can you have someone at scopely do something about that š
Got 105 epic dark holes š
At least it affects everyone together?
Exchange Space needs an update... we should not be able to wipe an entire board of armada targets period, but especially not during an Exchange Armada event! When is the thick skullery going to end?
too many armada events, and the number of eclipse armada available and laughable... could we one day have a game that really allows us to play without taking our heads???
@tacit obsidian
@tacit obsidian Did they intentionally change the Apex Outlaw event to have Apex Hunter and Apex Rogue on the same day? it used to be Apex Spy on day 1, Hunter on Day 2 and Rogue on Day 3 to cover the Outlaw ALB lasting 3 days.
Already been forwarded and being investigated
Thank you.
Opened my second alamgram chest, still not enough for 1 recruit tab chest. 9 days for 1 chest. I thought getting this ship was finally a way to get the jellyfish refit. But I see itās just another pipedream/distraction, pretending the game has any hope unless you can afford every pack
@tacit obsidian Please provide between arc schedule, similar to last month. Guessing Apex, CoW, Faction....we getting a SLB? is it a spend event? is it power event?
Can we please have the number of messages we have from faction scouts returned to the faction stores? It's a pain now to have to scroll down on each faction just to see if I can exchange them.
No between Arc schedule this time?
Don't understand why it shows our latinum on that screen anyway
You can buy credits with Latinum
Huh?
faction credits? lol you can.. however it is literally the single worst conversion in the game heh....
@tacit obsidian not sure what the patch was but game has been worse for many since. Not better.
Today the server wide lag on server 20 has been horrible.
Server 34 lag is horrendous as well.
Server 15 is broke, whatās going on, lag ships donāt join armadas ⦠and on and on
S38 on the fritz too. No option but to go do something other than Stfcā¦unreal how bad scopely is executing the basics these days
Server 27 as well. Horrible lagging
who's brainwave was it to destroy game with apparent fix can't even load or repair nothing
Server 17 is lagging HORRIBLE we had maintenance this morning @tacit obsidian
Server 24 is also lagging worse than ever and we had our maintenance today
@tacit obsidian
44 been getting worse for 15 mins now
How about putting some of that $ Scopely is raking in from the whales into some decent bandwidth? I mean seriously folks why are you being so cheap?
#scopelyLAGsucks
Server 13 is lagging baaaad. I'm giving up for the night.@fast gulch has it exactly right.
Please, sir. May I have some more bandwidth?
Scopley you really think you can roll out a new arc when the lag right now is worse than quicksand. I wonder if your goal is to have 3 flops in a row .
Yup its like a 50 to 1 conversion or something like that.
@pulsar leaf donāt know if it reaches Scopley, the maintenance on 163 went super fast. Thank you š š thought, other kind of feedback might be welcome š
This isshue with it not counting things ..in the game is back...u need to fix this now stfc it is annoying,no more excuses..u need to shut stuff down to fix it properly do it but this cracker jack maintenance u people are pulling is bs...GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER.
Was just going to post the same, this scoring lag of 10-15 minutes every day lately makes for a very poor gaming experience.
The maintenance isnāt to fix any lag, itās preparation for cool new toys.
Scopley is a big joke, looks like they deleted my post criticizing them. Hmmm, stop adding more JUNK to the game. Is that a better word scopley?
Cool new toys brings more annoying new bugs!
Donāt break the #š -rules-and-roles12 and posts donāt go bye bye. Criticise them away without breaking them and it can stay for eternity; like this:
Scopely, please, for the love of god can we have another set of Lat researches so we donāt have to spend a whole day mining CLat?
But the word wasnāt a bad word, thatās the worst part of it.
I would gladly take a few months of no new arcs and for the Devs to fix the most annoying issues with the game once and for all! Then they can get back to the new content.
Scopely, please can you put more eclipse systems in that are high level? 90% of 168 can kill 39/40 Eclipse hostiles which means any event that needs Eclipse kills is just a mass push into Penumbra and Lindstrom.
I couldn't have said it better myself!
You maybe, but the ābugsā rarely affect me and when they do itās just a case of āgo touch some grassā for an hour or so.
Which means 3 months of stagnant game for a lot of people, and quitters. Lots of quitters.
I like the sentiment but the true solution can only lie in a balance between the two.
How about this @nova sierra ? Every other month, don't have an arc so things can be fixed. I think this is a comprise that many (if not most) players can accept. They might not be able to fix everything each time they do this, but it will eventually get done. During the month with no arc, test the fixes first. If they create new bugs, try to fix them. This might not be the only option to fix the bugs, but it's definitely better then the way it's being done now.
Or an even better idea, have some people fixing while some people do new content.
They donāt have to be done separately.
That would work also. It seems their QA department is not doing something properly.
They just need to not have one of the best UI improvement releases mired in the mess of these bugs.
They donāt have a QA department. We are the QA!
Incorrect; they do.
Although the output rarely agrees with that statement.
Sorry - Iāll preface all attempts at humour with āstandby, jokeā in future. Itās called sarcasm, for those that donāt get itā¦
I figured it was a jokeā¦. My response an attempt at humour.
Donāt give up the day job!! š
Talking of whichā¦.
Fortunately, since upgrading to an iPhone SE 2020 (2nd edition), I haven't had too many major issues with the frequent bugs and crashes. Friends of mine with older phones are having some issues.
A new problem will come later this year, for players with older Apple devices. When iOS 16 is released, phones older than an iPhone 8 may not work properly (or even function at all). Other devices like iPads, etc., may also have the same issues. Obviously, those with older devices don't have to upgrade to iOS 16. I hope Scopely is preparing NOW, for when the release happens. My phone will work, but if the game has issues with iOS 16, I'm fortunate to have a Scopely id to use the pc version.
Why do Scopely need to prepare for people trying to run a current game on a 6 year old device? š¬
Of all the things Scopely deserve an absolute hammering for, āyour game doesnāt work on a device the manufacturer wonāt supportā is not a strong argument really.
I canāt play GTA V on my SNES, Nintendo sort your lives out! š
Not old devices; just the devices that won't have issues with iOS 16. It doesn't happen often, but the 1 time a company doesn't plan for a major OS update like this, it might cause the game/program to not function worse than it already does.
I will ask Eco about iOS 16 testing when I see him on šš»
That's all I'm asking; if it's likely it won't cause a problem, then I can accept that.
At the moment I believe someone has reported it doesnāt work on first beta of iOS 16. We laughed at him š
But I am keeping in mind it will be here sooner than later.
Some people I think are beta testing 16 now.
Was already part of the votes last month (or before). Still waiting on the actual implementation. Same for armada events ⦠176 kills all Armadas in the eclipse systems within 15 minutes after event start and you barley get any new spawns ā¦
And please ask him about in between arc schedule for events. Was much appreciated last month šš»
Was already done and eco is on it š
What he said š
Is there a possibility to add a selfdestruct button on ships?
Would come in handy, especially when doing eclipse armadas.
Could mods give the idea to devs?

I have two miners sitting in this superposition of both on and off the node, waiting for the nodes to reset.
A 4th spend event in a single month is UNACCEPTABLE
Wow, Scopely is really trying to drive players away from the game. Slow clap way to finish out the month the same way you started it.......
hhi
Server32 is undergoing in-game latency again; similar to last night. I do not have any packet loss getting into the AWS Cloud environment. Must be from the backend updates performed
@tacit obsidian in case you didn't know there has been horrible lag for the past 2 days. My server has already been thru the cleanup. What is it going to be like in an arc ? š±
its not just server 32....its on 20 too
Again, telemetry feeds into the hosted environment, and downstream to our game clients are fine. internet is showing no loss. Once it hits the ingress controller of AWS Cloud, it's voodoo but super bad.
Not sure what's going on, but probably due to that maintenance and backend updates
Lag is terrible, game is almost un-playable.
They gone broke the game AGAIN
server 77 is laggy
They expect people to pay for a game they cannot play. Great business sense
Literally no excuse for this level of lag.
Sooooooo muuuuuuucb laaaaaaaag! You know better scopely!
apparently it's only US servers that are having problems atm
ok, glad they are isolating the impact
I'm not sure it's something they did
there were just no problems to begin with on EU/APAC servers
seriously... fix this friggin lag.
I'm honestly just looking for an acknowledgement on the systems/network team that they are aware of this symptom. I don't even know if they are, haha. I haven't heard of any formality of response
Game is UNPLAYABLE! Lagging
So we have a mat spend 3 or 4 days after the last mat spend. Where do these mats come from? And we re run the event from two days ago that jammed everyone on the server into about 3 systems again. Because jamming everyone into 3 systems is the absolute funnest way to play this game.
shhhhhhh... Complain, but come up with a resolution point.
Pretty sure they are expecting them to come courtesy of Visa, Mastercard, or Discover.
Can Scopely please send a notification when the game is playable again. For a reference point the last 24 hrs would not be considered playable.
Wow... good play Scopley, put in a update that makes the whole game unplayable and drive away even more people ..... STOP!!!! Just STOP
Resolution point: Scopely, please make a simple list of things we as players hate. Post this list in every developers cubicle. Go over it in every dev meeting. once an arc or event is ready, check it against the list to see if it will cause us to hate it. I'll start. Do not run the whole server into a single system or any number of systems less than fingers on your right hand. Mats spend events are fine. We need notice of them beforehand though. Please others add to this list.
Lagging issue has been escalated
@frozen nichethey will use that list to implement new bugs lol
Thanks for increasing the lag Scopely, wow you all are the best
Server 55 is unbearable with lag right now, it was bad last night too, wtf is going on
Lag issue has already been escalated
Why arenāt the hostiles impacted by the game lag
cuz they're serverside š
šš¤£I stopped spending money on the game because scopely obviously doesnāt. With all the lag I just realized Iāll still be supporting scopely thru my tax dollars and their unemployment checksšš¤£
Requiring 40 and 41 players to spend almost 10k mats is unacceptable when most of the buildings and research doesn't use 4* uncommon/rare, you can't have a 4* ship until shipyard 41 and even then, you have to have 180k credits to buy one. And on top of that, the shipyard is 15k crystal so good luck saving up for those big ticket items in between.
5 or 6k is pushing it.
You can get the ISS Jelly at lvl 39
You can build it at 39. You can technically get it at ops 36 onwards
||I already shut my mouth, sorry||
The lllllaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggg on Server 13 is atrocious! @pallid parrot <@&509691205798592532>
wouldn't it be nice to actually have some communication on issues . . .
Lag issue has already been escalated
There you go ^
Thanks
Yeah s65 lag is real bad. Pretty much a 3s minimum delay on all commands/attacks, 5s+ on loading system view, and ships are not plotting intercept courses very well.
S61 decided to lag right at 12pm est when we were doing a territory capture.
Love wasting an exocomp, disco juice, and Cerritos juice to start killing hostiles for event, and then realizing Scopley fails at maintaining adequate server performance, like they don't get enough funding from us to make the game playable without lag. Such a garbage company
must be trying to minimize server costs at the end of the quarter to maximize their profit reports
Game functionality is total trash. Takes over 20 seconds to swap ships, load a system, or do anything. Total excrement.
Suckley - you suck it big time!
I'm having trouble submitting a ticket to support, hanging after clicking submit and completing the captcha.. :c
California Class not scoring after using two exocomps and killing over 100 hostiles. Get your act together Scopely
You can use the email option in #š½-how-to-contact-support
Right, ty, will do that when able.
Server32 is back to normal performance. Delays in UI, Actions, Elasticity, Lag, and Latency have vanished. Any Root Cause that you can share? @tacit obsidian @craggy saddle @vale wasp
Someone bought the correct packs
And done.
Is there a MAC version of the game?
@tacit obsidian my game just crashed and sent me back to my computer home screen š I believe lag was fixed but can see game is loaded now server 31
Any power available? Runn DS epic followed by a rare
Omw
@tacit obsidian
Is there any recourse to get proper treatment when customer service is useless?
So new game mode is āgo to another sever and just blow up everyoneās miners for a whileā?
@tacit obsidian was the incursions a joke? I'm sorry but I've not seen an arc run well from the user perspective so how can anyone think this incursions is anything but a big puddle of quicksand (lag city)?
@tacit obsidian I need clarification on whether we are forcibly returned to our original servers when the incursion is over or are we just stationed on the invaded server until we choose to return.
There's 3 things to consider imo
- Players- There are PvP Players who will participate in this but there are Players who don't want to and rather stick to pve. I expect there will be many angry Players about getting hit nonstop just trying to kill hostiles
- ROE- unless something is decided between roe from both servers, you're gonna have trouble mining. Most servers have roe btw.
I forgot what the 3rd one was man š¤·āāļø
- this is quite possibly the dumbest thing ever conceived, and the lack of foresight about how badly it will tank the player numbers is hilariously pathetic.
- Events- imagine trying to do arc events that involve arc missions or events in general and getting camped on by an ops 50 player
thats already a thing.
they dont need to add a mechanic for that...
I mean yeah, but this is gonna escalate
I'm not trying to speak for my server personally but others as well. There are some that are in a complete war zone and some with wars but most peaceful
Scopely has nothing to do with roe at all. I honestly wish they considered it though. ROE Is a big aspect of the star trek fleet command game/community
I'm progressing my acc by grinding in tygokor and rarely get blown up. Im not gonna get mad if I get blown up constantly but I'm gonna get annoyed that I can't progress my acc because there is an event that requires pvp to score for a month
Its for pvp players i get it, we pve players just need to shield in lower systems there is an out. BUT if miners give points, no roe will stop em
Scopely is to busy making money. This game is doomed
I for one shall be sticking a 7 day shield up and logging off. Scopley cannot get the game to function under ānormalā circumstances⦠so how on earth does anyone think this is going to end any way other than badly. There are other things that the development team should be working on, not this silly cross-server nonsense. The server Iām on is quite a peaceful place and I canāt see many of us taking part (not wanting to speak on my servers behalf). Maybe the odd whale might take part. But this will probably just turn into another part-baked half thought through idea that should never have seen the light of day
Unless both servers agree on something of course
Hahahahahhahaha that won't happen
Honeslty i look forward to the pvp upset utll wake up a lot of players. BUT! It can not be more than a couple days. A week long server invade is to long, and God forbid they decide to do it the whole month oh no
At least they have given us a huge forwarning
Warn your alliances, get your players to move to lower level space, and prepare them for there miners dieing. Itll be war
Not war, just open ended griefing
Incursions doesnāt look interesting.
You canāt even get normal servers running⦠now you want to mix and match for pvp⦠can you say oops I bugged it again.. come on scopley fix whatās already wrong before you make more āimprovementsā you are worse than Tim the tool man Taylorā¦
I've put up with a lot and kept playing since the start, incursions might just help me find my freedom from this messed up game
How about you pull the people who want to do this insanity on to a third server and not disrupt the game for the giant percentage of players that are going to hate this.
Especially the part about all shields will be deactivatedā¦
@tacit obsidian will this pack boost server performance when incursions start? all of my server have already created a server pact to defend regardless who is attacked
rule is if not 139 kill it
Just wait till the Deep Space Whales have to relocate or be raided...
Whales have plenty of ports
This is just another event...play or don't play. Before you launch, fix the darn lag. It's horrible today!
@twilit mango
Incursions sound dumb af. What a waste of development time.
It's pretty common to do this sort of thing on pvp game. This is interesting that you can actually go to a different server to fight and steal their rss.....hope no one looses their base in the temporary transfer
Incursions, or as it should be called āthe higher level players are bored and now they can fight each otherā-and youā¦ā
Sealclubbing a fresh batch. Give the whales some new sport.
lol server invading event... how do they expect to be able to handle that. they cant even handle an armada event while it kills the servers. i mean cool idea but its going to be a hot pile of š©
@tacit obsidian ~ Before you launch incursions, can you at least purge all bases where player has not logged in within last 6 months, my server is full of inactives hogging good base anchors on good systems but have quit game (mainly due to the cost this game has when you hit g4/g5) so please can you purge all inactive bases where player has not logged in in last 6 months before you launch this
it will be as effective as most the prime research packs.
Iām just looking forward to the incursion event store. There will be new ships there
Like the millennial falcon
Only in systems 20 plus.
Yeah sure thatās what it says.. maybe with another game Iād believe it but this is made by scopley. Iām sure either the servers will crash or shields activated wonāt work at all..
Good point. I hope that doesnāt happen. š
its the ", and" part that i don't trust
as if its potentially disabled shields for everyone
no matter where
knowing scopely programming.... you might not be able to shield after the event. š
Dude they really want to make ppl quit! Just leave the game mechanic alone! Fix what is actually broken and leave us alone no one in my alliance will be participating in this ridiculous incursion event I suggest everyone else do the same! @tacit obsidian
The lag is back.
lag is back, and with a vengeance!
Why not make an event that gives a token for us to cast an official vote as to whether or not we want to participate in incursions. You have give tokens before to chose faction allegiances so why not so we can vote @tacit obsidian
yo, how are we going to do cross-server events when we canāt play the game now with all this lag
Does anyone agree with what I have suggested?
Omfg Scopely. Second time in same day game lag has rendered game unplayable
and what happens if enough members of an alliance do an incursion, and then take over a territory on their walkabout? then what?
server 77 is lagging again
I wonder if the lag is them testing incursions -- hopefully they realize just how destabalizing it is lol
I canāt even shield
I think itās them conditioning us for what it will be like.
āInfiniteā incursions. Regular incursions didnāt cause lag.
Unplayable
But I do find it funny. An event doesnāt score right for 45 mins and there is usually a gift chest. You canāt play the game or do your dailies for two nights in a row and nothing.
This is the worst @tacit obsidian
man, you guys have already caused me to go through a battlepass without buying the elite once. it would appear as though you want to make that two in a row. š
Dear scopely - QA stands for Quality Assurance, not Quickly Applied
Someone give the hamsters running the servers some cocaine,
My theory is they're testing incursions on their test cluster, but the test cluster must use the same host as their prod/live build, and the cpus are probably pinned from the shoddy coding, with this lag being a result.
Done with this game....scoply should be embarrassed
I think they need there Infrastructure guys to check CPU ready times on the hosts.. seems like they oversubscribed there vm's too much..
@naive elm As long as the whales keep forking out the cash, Scopely doesn't give a rat's ass about anything else.
I think it's time for a compensation chest
A free incursion transfer token, of course!
Good luck with that
so, having read the server incursion post, it reads to me like what they're saying is 'ha, you thought you had shields, but actually, we have this new event that turns you into whale food whether you like it or not'.
if they don't get this lag fixed there will be no server incursions since you can't play on a single server let alone another one..... and they won't make anything in July..
If you dont go to another server you can still shield is how i understand it
but that removes you from the entire month probably
And if you do, just stay in a level 19 or lower system.
Shielding Behavior
During Incursions, all peace shields are suppressed in systems level 20+, and no new shields can be activated.
Shields will be back up after the incursion ends. (Shield duration timer does not decrease while itās suppressed.)
And im sure it will be pay to participate
doesn't say 'if you go to another server'
ugh and you know they're gonna put a really juicy officer in to make the people who don't go over have FOMO.
'during incursions' reads as 'during the event'
Good luck hearing from people using 30 day shields
Coming back and finding out scopely took it away
it goes on to talk about invading, but at no point does it say that the shield suppression is contingent on you actually invading
only on an incursion event being active
they would be dumb to make everyone forced to do this crap
maybe they should take a break from new arcs and just fix what they have first... instead of layering more bugs on top of bugs and introducing old bugs back into the game... apparently there Agile programming is not very good at QA Testing.. starting to be more like Microsoft QAing
imo what they should do is provide everyone with a courtesy shield for the duration of the event, that way only the players that choose to go do pvp for the event wind up unshielded for the duration
@tired nexus Like this is the first time Scopely has managed to royally screw something up. They do it on a pretty regular basis.
alternatvely, they could just... ditch the whole stupid idea
and if they're so desperate to force us to pvp
Too many whales would complain
Scopes good at screwing
stop relying on what appear to be 13yr old coders and free-vps services
going to be a free feed frenzy for all the higher ups as all of us lowers will have no shields and ripe for raiding
over a week it took to find out a bug in game prevents me from being able to purchase Stella BP's.
get som decent server setups and just.......... put more players on each server
In 19 system have shields very annoying
The only players they care about keeping happy are the whales, nobody else matters to Scopely
Ask for compensation cause their own chat bot sends me to an outdated FAQ wasting days of time
contact support, they will fix matters, i had to do that
i mean, they'll fix that matter
not in general
they'll fix it in like 5 days by then this wonderful event will be over
and they won't do squat for any loses
I did Semper
na i mailed them, they got back to me in like 4 hours to say they could convert what currency i had to bp's, or i could get back to them when i had enough for a full set of bp's and they'd do it then
response time varies, but it shouldn't take them 5 days
if it takes that long, they've lost the msg and you should prolly open another ticket
This game is unplayable with the lag, how about rewarding all players with full rewards on all events for the day. I canāt finish mine, so likely a bunch of players in the same boat!
2 days is long enough to ruin progression
which is what it took for the initial ticket to be responded.
i assume you mean for the apex event?
Apex, dailies, anything.
Does it matter?
why?
if it's apex, it's a recurring event
missing out on some rewards one time ain't the end of the world
No itās not, just annoying to lose out on things because their game is unplayable.
This issue started over a week ago has nothing to do with this event.
I'm a Comcast customer....they have better customer support than Scopely.
Semper you a fed?
que?
fed as in cop?
m8 look @ the username
if you meant fed as in cop that was a silllly question
nah i'm not defending scopely, i'm just saying that if you let yourself get mad everytime you encounter a bug, playing this game, you're gonna be almost perpetually mad
no point in the mad, cos it doesn't result in changes
see : 12hr shield bug
ture that
Admittedly I'm salty after this last exchange with Scopes C.S.
No offense intended Semper
I apologize
I agree with you regarding the bugs, but this new event. I can't not be frustrated about that.
maaaybe a side of me having done support for stuff before, and knowing that response times vary highly even in the best and most professional of companies
(which is not scopely)
Who here is familiar regarding the fact that game developers optimize for Consoles usually optimize their game code to make the most of the specific console hardware? (Ps3/4/5, xbox360)
We need bug fixes and optimization. I filed a suggestion for an intense amt. of that every of other month, instead of Arc content.
I remember when pvp was faster and had less lag, UI is slower now, not counting todays lag.
The FAQ that the chat bot took me, over 8 days ago, to said I had to earn Stella BP from event store or outlaw events.
Always ask about things here in #š¤-help-each-other before you resort to Scopely support.
just found the reply button
meh
trudat, it was convo in here that let me know support would manually exchange currency for the bp's back when they first decided to put them in the outlaw store
May I ask how long ago that was?
last march
Not a confidence builder
eh, they did what they always do and assumed people would be starting from scratch, so everyone who hadn't started could get them cos they had no rep yet, but anyone who had was probably already too high rep to get them cos they removed them once you hit scoundrel
if you think that bug still being present is bad, the 12hr shield bug ( survey gets hit, game misreads as survey attacked something, you lose shield ) has been there since launch
there was a lawsuit over it. it's still bugged
Testing?
Server lag resolved my ass š now it's gone from 3-8 second to load a screen to 60-180 seconds
Lag again lag again doo di doo
Great timing of the lag just fired off a exo comp for event and now itās just wasted
I think this is going to be bad
yeah its horrible taking a mnute to register every clicked button. i closed thhe game. got better things to do at this point
Who knew. SCOPELY can't even get servers to work when they aren't battling. EPIC FAIL
Why not stop adding more when u cant fix the one main problem the freaking lag its horrible i just got dropped 7x in 1hr and vant even send a message without taking 5 min to do it u want us to pay u for that shame on u
Feedback...huh...you obviously don't listen to the people ...so just keep doing what you're doing...look the other way when people quit because you can't keep your game running
Would seriously love it if the Away Team screen had a CANCEL button if you accidentally click an officer already deployed on another ship. The only way to fix this is to hard exit the game and reload or confirm the change. No bueno.
Game has gone to š© since Scopely went woke, nothing works when introduced, lag so bad takes 20 Mississippi's to clear helps, warping out of hostility still get hit cuz it sits on 0 for 20 extra seconds, seems your looking at it instead of into it.
Would be nice to see some fixes in game instead of bricking the game more and more..
So some political correctness breaks the game? Get with the times dude
Hey the upside is, if you donāt fix the lag issues quickly. You wonāt have to worry about another bad Arc or Incursions running people off..
āFixedā
š
Iām not playing until the delay is fixed
My general feedback would be that it's not worth spending a single penny on a scopely product. I know I never will again.
@tacit obsidian i am a ops 44 player from server 41. Our server has a cap at ops 50. The server we are pitted against is server 40, they have up to ops 60 unlocked. When incursions start will our server be given ops 51+ so we can have our big players start being competitive? If not this is going to be a blood bath that we have no chance in
@tacit obsidian Why does my alliance on server 8 now have ā69ā in their alliance name after maintenance ? Does someone at Scopely HQ have some pent up sexual frustration?
Also another alliance has the sameā¦lol
Server pairings haven't been released yet, but they've stated they'll be fair
Game is constantly crashing stfc bp £18.50 every month xbox ultimate pass £10 absolutely no issues plus free games
Scopley sort it out
@vale wasp yes this is based on us being paired with them in every server versus server event and them being closest to us in age
Hello eco, do you really think, Infinite Incursions is a good idea? With suspending shields you force players in pvp who dont want it. in a extremesituation i buy a 30 days shield because i am offline for a while and find a empty base when i come back? This ist the most awful idea since spent events
@tacit obsidian
Just move your base to a level 19 system and put up the 30 day shield. The description clearly shows that you won't lose any shield if you are in a level 19 system or below.
and what abount players that are already not in game and will not be past the start of this shield suppression non sense?
A valid point that I don't have an answer to.
They can invest 2 mins to relocate
If they can't the game clearly is not that important to them and it won't matter
Which it anyway should not. It is just a game after all
this is so stupid to say, there can be infinite reasons for someone to be unable to connect to the game for a prolonged amount of time
I get it that you like to have a chance to raid some juicy unshielded base, but there are other ways to do so
Yes. And all those reasons are a million times more important than this game. So it shouldn't matter what happens in the game.
unshielded base does not lack on my server, even without this suppression mechanics
On mine they are a rarety
If someone paid $100 for a 30 day, they care enough to protect their rss
so i don't get why it seems of the utmost importance for you to defend it
exact thats the point. Maybe the event was not annouced when i go offline and shield for a longer time. Shield works where ever you are i a general game mechanism. I see no reason to change it. Supend shiels for all players who press "join" for the event and all is fine.
they can't create a mechanic like the shields, that is the last resorst and then start saying they will not work now and then
I don't think there will be a join button; I think it's automatic.
In all honesty. If anyone payed that much for a shield they scammed themselves. š¬
he was suggesting to make it that way, not saying it will be that way
@tacit obsidian @twilit mango game is still lagging for most of my alliance this is ridiculous the game is just about unplayable
Then scopely force players in a pvp event who dont want it. We have a lot of players here who only want to play pve. Atm i can decide for every event if i want to play it active and i have no disadvantages if i do not. In this event i would forced to play it, because i have bo choice. And TBH almost everbody will move to the 1-19 systems then. So this makes absolute no sense..
Move your station to a lvl 19 or lower system and you arenāt forced to do anything. If people are parked in lvl 20+ systems and not actively playing they are probably drained already. It isnāt that complicated
They canāt fix the lag or the bugs and yet now theyāre doing multi server stuff. Canāt wait for the reports of people getting stuck on the wrong serverā¦
Thatāll be during the Voyager arc
I don't why scopely didn't just use or create a series of zones like TC...unknown incursion zone...you go in there at your own peril. Seems TC didn't quite work out...let's force incursion on you all.
The idea of incursions is so dumb, your just encouraging rogue players to mess with everyone and then leave. Then on top of that you want to suppress shields to "encourage" pvp. Let's call it what it is....let the bigs just have their way
@tacit obsidian The community post about incursions needs to be made into an in game news post ASAP. Not all players use Discord, and this is too big of an announcement to not use the in game news feature.
The feature's not going live til sometime after the patch hits, why can't it wait for that news first?
If a player without access to the discord announcement puts up a 30 day shield today in territory because of a real life emergency, they do not know that they will get raided and lose all of their resources during the incursion
Life is more important than a game anyways, so in reality if you are away for 30 days itās more important than losing in game resources. That excuse doesnāt work. Sorry.
People spend $99 on those 30 day shields, so Scopely has a duty to honor what they sold
Then they can complain to scopely after they get raided and drained.
In all honesty. If anyone PAYS for a shield they are absolutely scamming themselves. Those come in free every day and I have years worth of them piled up. Never had the issue during any trip that I couldn't use them.
Unfortunately the 30 day shield is a pay only feature. I've never understood why they're not in the alliance store.
I like the idea of having individual officers on the store, but respectfully, $400 for not even a full unlock Rank1 officer is insane
I already hate the new Feature of forced raiding. And only forced relocation could leave a base for normal players unharmed, if -what absolutly not believeable- the feature isn't bugged ... if the relocation to low lvl system isn't and everyone is forced to become Putin like. No, no and no. All the people who likes pvp, it's fine and ok as long as i am not forced to play the same way
They are useless anyway. Just pop a couple smaller. Everytime one expires put a new one. Takes only a minute
I get it for the people going into hospital or the like long term, but then I'd probably be more concerned about myself than my imaginary pixels š
Exactly
If your situation is so dire you cant spare a minute a day or even week then this games is entirely unimportant and you being worried about it is a HUGE concern!
I've taken breaks, and I've seen people being deployed on ships/etc for extended durations (zero phone access)... we've just had them emptied by us or allies and then they just recoup when they come back
I just don't like the idea of someone having using a long 30 day shield and coming back to find out that their shield is up and all their stuff is gone
Yea, most players have anyway the majority of their rss in token and not in the base.
30 day shields are a rip off though, of the same order as the vault of lat
The point of deploying a long shield during crises - some people are in wars right now for example - is that you then don't have to worry about the game.
7days are free from the alliance store...
Yes the game is less important than the real life stuff but after dealing with the RL stuff it'd be nice to come back to a game ready to play instead of an emptied base
You shouldn't anyway
well, alliance credits* but free cash
Most players have the vast majority of their rss in tokens and not in the base
5 minutes every 5-7 days is easy
Not all do though @earnest granite
Then they are dumb, sorry
Not when deployed
In todays event-economy? They really do, unless they spend every minute raiding
if someone exchanges their tokens instantly.... that is just plain wrong.
If you know you're being deployed, do a controlled raid to hand it to someone who will be willing/able to share back later
That's what we did with our Navy dudes
Some have such large amounts they never even use tokens
Iād think the only way you wouldnāt have the majority of your rss in tokens is if youāre a hardcore raider
Then they've been raiding
Which means they have even MORE in tokens xD
And are capable of recouping
And emptying and reraiding those amounts suuuucks
sure
Which even with amalgam is unrealistic in mature servers and higher ops rangrs.
Either plan for someone you trust to manage shielding, or maybe, the rss just isn't that important š
Shields, once activated should be a 100% guarantee that your stuff is safe. Suppressing them for this load of toss is unnecessary and unacceptable
Of course it sucks to have the base zeroed. But it is a far cry from game ending for anyone.
I will be slightly offput if my dilithium stock gets zeroed before I use it, but if I take a break and don't shield long enough... ohwell, it's not the end of the world
If my base was zeroed through no fault of my own I'd think twice about putting in the effort to start playing again. Particularly with Scopelys nefarious practices in this event
and it turns out I have the same amount in tokens as I do in raw, and 10x the amount of trit/steel tokens as what I have ready
So move to a lv19 or lower system
I totally get the point of people who are already out of game
with a long shield up, who might lose it all
Pretty much all my rss are in tokens now. All the trit, all the dil, and over 90% of the steel
We have a big raider who often fills up then has to travel with no internet access. He buys a shield and knows it's safe.
Or did
But, it's almost a week before the next update drops, and it may well be longer before the first incursions kick off, so they're getting at least the equivalent of a 7 day shield to see the news and plan accordingly
He still can, did you not read the bit about <20 systems?
And if he's already out of the game at the moment?
Then he's stuck, and it's unfortunate that he may get caught out
Heās a big raider, heāll be fine
But whatever time frame they notify and then release this in, someone will be caught out
Unfortunate. That doesn't quite cover it somehow
Screwed over is maybe more accurate
Every single month we see people here whining that they didn't know X was happening, and it's been announced either early or late, or both, and someone didn't read it at all or forgot in the meantime...
So it doesn't matter when they tell people, or what cut off they put on it, someone will get caught out
That's true. But certainly not ok
fact of life when you change things
and without change, you have stagnation
there's always got to be a cut off point somewhere, which will always disadvantage someone
With change we get more bugs generally
To point out the weaknesses and downright shoddiness of removing the only safety net the game allows doesn't really qualify as whining tbh
My kid is luckily middle of the year for when she goes to school in september, but there'll be kids who were born in august vs those in september, and the school start for the august babies will be almost a whole year younger than those in September... but there's always got to be a cut off
and that's a heckova more important one than rented pixels š
But when you start belabouring a point.... š
Yeah, it sucks for those few who are out of contact with the game for this 7 day period and are also expecting a 30 day shield to hold up, and are in a 20+ system
I don't really understand why this being less important than real life equates to not important at all.
But by all means shill on
But I think with all three of those things, it'll be relatively few people caught out without there being any way for them to alter their stance ahead of time*
Ah yes, whoever disagrees with me is a shil, excellent defence
Ohhh the shill card.
It's been at least 6 weeks since I had it played on me, refreshing š
The few people who are paid enough to bother with a 30 day shield (which, has 2* mats, some speedups, and a single 30 day shield... ick), and have zero contact with the outside world during that time, and are coincidentally away for this specific 7 day period, are either well adjusted enough to cope with loss of rss, or are a strawman
Our navy guys used to be away for 2 month stints on a boat somewhere, and would say "Hey, I put up a 7 day shield, I'll try and get in to refresh, but if it drops, ohwell"
Announcements on Discord are not the same as announcements in game. Until they announce it in game, assume no one knows about it
Otherwise that's where it's the turn of those of us on discord to share with our supposed friends š
Scopely can't depend on us to do their job for them
unless I'm getting a paycheck š¤£
And there'll always be someone who isn't paying attention regardless, and ohwell, too bad so sad š
Tell that to the greens and reds š
purple dudes at least get revenue from their content š
REVenue? š
Only one of them gets that
Addressing it for principle's sake is something I agree with, but I can also see that the issue's small enough that it could easily be handled by CS. Whichever method they choose, it'll be fine
Can we get some kind of armada summary? Dmg done, Dmg Taken etc...?
On the PC client you can export the battle log
There are players that avoid galaxy chat; so they don't always see in game notices anyway. They should also be posted in alliance chat somehow. In addition, there are players that don't use discord. Announcements have to be posted in BOTH Discord and Galaxy/Alliance chats.
Iāve been playing STFC for almost 3 years now and I still donāt have mirek maxed. 70 or so from maxing. The premium officer tokens pool is so saturated now I barely get yuki mirek or zhou. All hard officers to obtain before but near impossible now. I get borg dropping left and right. Can we increase their drop rates or create additional sourcing?
@hasty stream same here with the OG Pike, out of doing 5 ultra chest and 6 premium chest i got 2 pike.. i know a lvl 30 that only has 50 pike so cant unlock him.. there is something wrong here with the drawing of shards. not that Scopely give a hoot.. free to play get screwed by them
I agree to an extent. Only thing I can say to this is there are multiple ways to source pike in game including transport patterns, premium chest, ultra chest, and as of the last arc, he was included in events. Pike used to be harder but does take awhile.
thanks to @weak marten for the input too š
š
but if the player dosent have any rare maxed they dont get transporter patterns,, and those chest are a joke, they are a waste of time when i open one it's like Scopely flipping me off with the crappy rewards for a lvl 40.
Oh thank you.
that graph doesnt make any needed changes. so whats so impressive about it?
They need to start their officer grind of faction recruit boxes. Officers are most important. That should be their number one priority. It is no surprise to me that they only has 50 pike shards if they arenāt prioritizing that grind. If you donāt have pike as a lvl 40 then something is seriously wrong. If you do, then donāt worry cuz only point of maxing pike is stats, he doesnāt do anymore for you as you tier. Heās great out of the box and kinda stays the same.
It's formatted nicely for better readability and understanding.
its mroe about att, def and such after you get him... he does grind but when you're limited to a few hours and you have to do dallies as well.. sorry but Scopely says a lot and then does very litte, so i cant trust them on anything they say or claim they are doing. they have let us all down way to often
@tacit obsidian Glad to see the nodes you added, but we need to do something about the G4 economy over all. It's really bad. Things are very expensive, refining costs are high, and payout is low (though you did say you'd improve that, but doesn't change the high cost of things)
Also, regarding the M1 client, just enable the iOS version to be installed. Every app I've done this with had worked fine without any changes from the dev team. Should be minimal effort on your guys part.
@tacit obsidian can I get a response to what I have said and asked?
I think he's in a meeting ATM. Is it something myself or one of the other volunteers can help you with by chance? Don't want you to think you're being ignored
My question is why not give us a choice? Simply run an event that gives a token to vote as the whether or not we want to participate in incursions as individual servers
At this point, how incursions will run in the upcoming iteration are set in stone. That said, they've been very clear to us as CCs/the mods/etc they're open to feed back and changes. They want to see how it runs and improve it from there.
Then they need to remove inactive bases from low lvl systems because I'm pretty sure most in my server will be abstaining from the event. I run with 2 different alliance totaling 135 players and neither of them want to participate so if it's likewise with other alliance then systems will fill up fast
This should not be forced on servers that want to be left alone
That is a script they can run, to archive inactive accounts.
The announcement of the changes is welcomed, and I am excited about them using our feedback and doing something with... I do also hope that their use of "increase" for the refinery does NOT include an increase of raw materials needed to use the refinery as that would counter any enhancement / increase they are planning on doing.
I've spent 10's of thousands of dollars to play this game with my friends and be strong. Many are in the same boat. We just want to be left alone. If they really want to do something why not remove the hating system they have that stops ppl from joining servers and stop making new ones. Let us help the new players and teach them what to do instead. Many of these recent events have deteriorated the player base in my server dramatically. Of course there is always attrition but it's been on a steadily increasing basis. We had a lvl 56 player have his account deleted just a few weeks ago because of the poor management of our server by the devs
No arguments here. Eco can tell you I've already voiced a lot of early concerns about incursions. I'll definitely keep passing along feedback from players such as yourself. I hope it doesn't go as poorly as many of us fear it can
Like I brought up they should have run an event that would give a token to cast a vote. It's a feature they have used in the past for faction allegiance so we all know it could have been done. It's another show of poor planning and player management by the devs
I'm tired of seeing my friends quit. And instead of allowing new members to join our servers they are diluting the player base with new servers and throwing their hands in the air when it comes to server merges saying there is "nothing else we can do"
Many of these servers have conflicting rules and ideas of how the game should be played so when server merges happen and accompanying drama ensues it will drive more ppl to quit that otherwise would have continued to enjoy the game
Move there early. That's what I did.
I will be moving before the arc starts need to stock up on iso first. This whole thing is ridiculous
I just hit OPC iso-miners. You can get hundred of thousands daily.
This is just one of the most frustrating things when trying to play a game which relies on different categories. Here we have a RARE (means hard to find) away mission giving the 90 reward. But an uncommon further on down my list gets me nearly 50 % more.
@tacit obsidian Could we get a schedule of events for the next few days? Myself and a couple others in my alliance have Enterprises waiting to hatch, and are holding off for a Military Supremacy event. Any hope?
I think you should add officers like Frank Leslie and other minor officers to the appropriate faction pack. In this case federation
Has anyone ever hot 12 shards in Borg Ultra Recruit? I get 6-7 ( including those converted to transporter patterns. It says guaranteed 12 shards.
@tacit obsidian very happy with the survey results and the changes coming to to the game. Thank you for taking on board some of our suggestions, in making this game a more enjoyable place to be. Let's hope the future brings more of these quality of life improvements. Cheers
@tacit obsidian Rom pack is missing 8030 common gas where Worf pack has equals amounts of each
@ECO @weak marten what is up with ship packages??? Normally after Battle Pass event, players can buy enterprise or other warship in their Faction by this week I personally saw none to purchase in server 74 n my ops 36 lvl ?? Why is that ?? But a couple my lower members just saw sally to purchase ?? I been actually waiting 5 weeks to purchase it since last time , scoply cut the time in purchasing it from 4 days to 2days
I'd wait if I were you... The pack values are being adjusted... So you might get more for your money...
do high council skirmishers give out ship xp?
Well these are a start for fixing some stuff , but there is still a lot more ways to fix the game and gaming experience
Have the same issue . Was waiting to purchase the pillum yet no ships in store ā¦.
The game, from day one, has been designed to create maximum conflict. Incursion will be no different. I view it as a scheduled 24 hour war. War is good for spending and spending is good for profit.
War is also lots of fun if all parties participate.
Of course if everyone just hides and cries it is boring.
I expect some of both. Territory was fun at first... Pew Pew without war. Incursions will be similar. Unlike war on our servers now where it is more like Willey E and Sam. New players and alliances that you don't know habits. Event rewards can drive participation.
Yes, and if server opponents change between Incursion events it will be especially good. No getting used to another and no making deals etc.
And no repercussions. Jump in kill everything and jump out.
I believe your transfer is time bound. You can't just leave. I suppose you can port to a lower system and shield. If I transfer, I don't care about your roe. I don't expect you to respect ours. Well ours is PvP events supersede the other rules and I imagine killing is scoring
I could see this leading to ops level banded 24 hour 'cage' matches. Who is truly the biggest BA by ops level?
Told our guys to expect a non-ROE environment. It would be pure evil if bp event is mining during an incursion šš
I expect it for mining Monday. š
Well ours also states that Event scoring trumps ROE protection. š
And even then most of the players leave the miners in peace. Except a few special players š¤¦āāļø
Yes, if left alone. This could be addressed by event scoring. Big rewards for risky mining, negative scoring for hits on non combatants by ship or ship type, by system etc. Or.. they leave it alone and see what happens.
My guess is scoring will be similar to current PvP events. And sure the <edited> jerks will be out there too.
Agreed. Letās see how scopely is running that thing. Very excited for the start of an arc.
I mean, if the event states "x points per player kill" then nothing will be save. I won't pull punches no matter how small the target. I don't lose just to be polite.
If it clearly states something like "only in x systems" or "only ships of type x" then it is a different story and it would be a dick move to go after non-scoring ships (except maybe as bait. :P)
Fully agree, depends on how the scoring goes. And how Scopely sets that up will dictate how fun and successful these events will be. If you hate PvP, I suggest a 24 hour bubble in a protected system.
Don't ship packs normally get put in the store when CoW is running.
CoW is usually after 2 days of faction hunt
The only repercussion I can think of is if after all these "incursions" they decide to actually merge the two servers. Then your past actions could come back to haunt you. Well, that is if you cared about such a thing.
That would be amazing š
They're probably already drooling over the amount of rage-spending that would cause
Oh I think the rage spending will offset the people that quit, at least in the short term.
If they eventually offer a pack of temp transfer tokens, the whales are gonna enjoy having another giant feeding ground.
Eventually? Day one or bust š
The ftp sourcing might be eventually...
Paid? Immediately.
Hey @tacit obsidian and other Scopely folks, the recent officer QOL changes were a good improvement, BUT ... the only trouble is, almost every officer in my officers list shows as upgradeable because almost all of them have trait points that COULD be spent on them. Would it be feasible to split that marker into two, one (say a blue star at the left end of the shard bar) for "You could spend trait points on this officer", and keep the other, the arrow on the right, for "No, really, you can actually level or promote this officer"? Having officer leveling/promotion and trait points on the same indicator makes it all but useless, because you've STILL got to open up each officer one by one to see which is which.
I already seeing and anticipating a lot of issues from this new server vs server bit as well as with the new changes. Scopley has never fixed anything without breaking at least 20 other things in the game.
Lolz...first wave of incursions gonna inadvertently end up in a server transfer
FOREVERS
Wtf @tacit obsidian , server 57 has 5 lvl 50 players and you just open it for up to 60's. It is hard enough for every other alliance to stand against those 50's and now you just let them become even stronger while the rest of the server is between the 35's and 49's
Those are the moves from you that I don't understand or share, makes us wanna quit and stop the frustration once and for all and I'm an ops 44
@tacit obsidian I hope these comments above are being noted. Also, Territory should be safe from these incursions, there are hundreds of members over the servers who basically live in territory for the bit of extra safety if they are late to get online and shield. š¤·š»āāļø
Heres an idea, why not start all incursion cross server events with an auto shield for the duration of the event, that way those who wish to participate can lose the shield and go for it, those who dont can be safe and do something else that they have to do? Look after ALL your members, not just the few š
Territory aināt safe I know loads who hunt in territory all the time
Its the worse place to raid due to travel times and is easier to defend. I guess your server just dont defend the bases š¤·š»āāļø hunting opc is another matter but this is a raid event š
Actually you don't... Because you can see which level they are and which level they can get to from that screen.
Example : I can see that Marcus needs one more level.
@tacit obsidian do we have a fix for La'an's lower deck buff coming?
Really nice of scopely to sell me a defective officer. Refused refund as it doesn't work. And then not fix it yet either.
She's not defective, she works as described. The game's display overstates how much she adds, and that extra is not usable.
You really think the incursion event will work as it looks on paper or sounds in theory? We barely get properly working events as is...who wants to be lost between servers waiting to get back into account in original server? You people crack me up...and I am not stupid enough to fall for it
If she is not defective she doesn't work at all. Ship only fills to amount without her on board
She does work.
Post SS of what you mean, please.
Because two clear posts didn't tell you what I meant? Bye
Laan works totally fine though. The only thing broken is the shown increase.
She increases correctly but visually overstates the increase so it looks like you have empty space
Interesting š¤ can you show us the ship and crew etc so we can figure out the maths
Was my post to you? No.
Does something that isn't broken display incorrectly? No.
Do you think someone with a degree in mathematics needs your help to do math? No.
Does scopely even do math correctly? No.
So really?
Lag again ?!? Server 8
Server incursions....w....t...f...
Whales and bullies who just want to wreak havoc with no repercussions will have fun. Most others will shut it down not just for the event, but likely the day. Then several days, maybe a week.
I've spent months building what I have now and I'm telling everybody I will not ever put my money in this game if this is what I have to expect from Scopely .
I'd live to try incursions...how ever after 4 days of intense lag and the inability to play...I think ill pass. Yall going to transport over to another server and end up on a different game.
Wishful thinking.
Incursions are a stupid idea
Like.... Really stupid leave our servers alone
@tacit obsidian
How do you know? The mechanic is like territories on steroids. If the events and rewards are well thought out, it will be good. Otherwise get in 19 and lower and set 24 hour shield. Done
I hop between 2 different alliance totaling over 150 players with allies reaching another 250 and most don't want this event in our server all this is going to do is drive us out of our own tc space to not participate and set us back on our mining
There is a good YouTube video on what we know. Invaders can disrupt takeovers but not pin. Events are 24 hours. You get offense and defense
Mining? That question is in the air and probably decided by event scoring. Outside jerks being jerks
And why do I care about 500 players on a server numbering over 3500? In fact, I call shenanigans.. That would probably total the entirety of the daily actives.. In your alliance?
Fix Romulus on server 29! 2 broken romulan transports have ruined the hostile spawn rates!!
Scopley, incursions has to be your stupidest idea to date. You're essentially enabling the highest level players to raid with impunity as lower level players will have no defense .
People in s57 are just quitting because of the money walls, having opened the 50+'s lvls was just too much. This week ALONE I had to say goodbye to 4 good members, all 40+, even a lvl49 because your lack of interest into effort retribution instead of money retribution, @tacit obsidian. Losing 4 level 40+ in one week, all spenders, it's not success.
Dearest Scopley: Before you go out and try to have some cross-server event, why donāt you get the damn code stable?! TC can be fun, but when you have to continually reboot the game because you canāt target, canāt repair, and canāt even get into the system you ownā¦and letās not forget the atrocious lag (which has only gotten worse lately)ā¦what make you think that thereās even a snowballās chance in hell that cross-server anything will function?
Try fixing this unstable disaster/dumpster fire you call a code base. In other words, do the basic stuff right first. Then you can build from there.
I think lag this week was due to new database tables populating. We will see. I just want a clock I can relate to real-time in pms
Not the point. PvP I got no issue with. You want to pew pew someone go for it. The issue I take with is forcing me to either accept this or move to a different system to avoid it. No big deal you say. Well when itās a system with only 5/6 slots yeah it is a big issue. Territory safe havenā¦Nope thatās gone too. Theyāve taken the most fundamental issue of shield or share and tossed it out the window. Shielding meant I choose not to lose my RSS. Itās an event to cater to the bigger 40s and 50s who I have NO chance to beat off with a stick of taking my RSS. It is beyond my comprehension of why they would think this is a good idea.
is it just me or crit in away mission got a bit nerfed ? after the last away team "patch" all my 55% crit missions proc much much less then before, am I only person who has that problem ?
āAll myā is probably just a few a week, which isnāt really sufficient sample size. It will be a bad rng streak.
Hmm.. Pretty sure the only thing I can claim from this is a receipt š¤š
Personally I'm glad it's going to shake up rator, pjem, morska and the couple others. If you stay and keep the system blocked, it will be remote raiding. Same as territory. You still get some protection. You are Worried someone will come steal your spot by the end? That somebody would be playing by the same rules! Seems you have at least 3 options. Spend your rss down to vaults, find a low level player that can reach the system to hold your base housing, get your 500 person alliance to devise a protection plan and hunker down or move on. Just remember any invaders to your server will most likely be kos, so help is a gc call away
The game isnāt designed around individuals players needs and wants. Thereās a vast & varied player base who all like different things. Usually PvP is negated by ROE/PvE diehards who shield up and eliminate any enjoyment for others who like to actually use the battleships theyāve put time and resources into. This time if you want to shut up shop then thereās a trade off. As there should be.
The refinery hasn't given a UC G3 mat in a week. When they "fix" it. You'll have 7 UC mats for 75k. Ask support and they'll tell you "looks good on our end. It works as it should" the most unscrupulous devs of all timem
You guys are trash. Fr.
It's because you very likely bought the 30d July pack š And you can claim your daily reward.
Itās very sad and annoying that RAIDING HAS BEEN KILLED in this game ā¦.
ā¦.everybody now gets enough resources ā¦. and the cargo sizes are still too small to make it worthwhileā¦.
ā¦.we SHOULD BE ABLE TO RAID MATERIALS as well ā¦.that would make it much more interestingā¦.can be like rss ā¦part is up for grabs ā¦.part protected by tokensā¦.
Mats would be nice. With the amalgam, raiding has become useful. I use everything I steal and then some.. I especially look for bases that are heavy trit... I never have enough
@tacit obsidian I hope you can see the amount of chest I have!!
The issue is for every click we can open only 50 chest....Can you please increase it to say like 100+...
Per day I grind around 1500 hostiles which allows me to get more chest like these and it's hard for players like me to wait patiently and open these,Do try to make some changes please š!
Why not use !suggest, then type your suggestion, in the suggestions log channel to get players to vote on it.
How?
I dont know how to do !
Nope already claimed
June 30d pack
Claimed.. Still there
Thatās an exclamation point; itās on the numeric (123) of your phoneās keyboard. First go to the 6-22-suggestions-log channel; 3 below this one. Then type !suggest and then your suggestion.
Iāve noticed the same thing.
How do you get in contact with scopley support other than in game. I purchased the July special pack and first it didn't go through then it charged me 3 times for same purchase. I didn't click the button 3 times either just to be clear. I can't get ahold of anyone. The bank charges me 35 bucks per stop pay. This some BS. I'm not paying 70 dollars to stop 40 extra dollars.
#š½-how-to-contact-support has all the ways to contact support
Vi'dar is a must have ship!!! It put's it in the store or it gets the hose again. It's not one of those that would be nice to have, it's a MUST HAVE type. For it to not be in the store at all times is unacceptable. It put's it in the store or it gets the hose again.
Iāll bet you, in 30 seconds I can see what my reputation is
Raiding is overrated! Who has the time to raid billions of parsteel. How many clicks does that take?
Ops level dependent statement. And for some - Raiding is the core to their gameplay
True,. I have not raided since the 20s because it takes too many clicks and time.
Amalgam changes that
A good base can pull you way more than hitting with a faction miner would
Still take ages to empty it out but you get more in short space of time
How much can the Amalgam per trip?
Depends on how big a base you hit. Iāve seen anything from 5mil all the way up to 40B
The bigger the better
You have seen Amalgam Cargo with 40 B from one hit?
Yes š
It was a bit silly
Was an ops 60 with rss I canāt remember how much š¬š¬š¬
Screenshot? š š š
So the Amalgam's cargo size depends on the level of the base you crack?
No, it depends on how much is in the base
How much is in the base
The more there is in the station, the more you get into your cargo hold
got it
The raiders on my server (all with amalgam) are super rich. have way more than they need for their level. Amalgam is a good ship until you reach the mid forties I would say
š¤
There has been a screenshot with 200B.
Maybe I will give raiding another try. There are few guys on my server that have tens of billions, but they always shield.
Hit those guys with a high level amalgam and you will pull loads per run
Everyone is parked in territory these day.
Easy pickings
Most people get too comfy so never notice
Then all you do when there is defenders is get big boys to flatten them
47 chests from 49..51 federation hostiles in w185 space ā totally useless, except the scout messages
I think you need to clear your localisation cache š³
Is this not what these symbols are supposed to look like? š
Those graphic bugs are normal. Sometimes it renders correctly and sometimes not
š¤£š¤£š¤£ no š
Well, I've played the game completely different then š
What are the faction locks after champion?
The 3 locks are 10mil 1bil 15bil
I donāt know which one champion is off the top of my head š¬
1bil, thank you
I thought so but wasnāt sure. Yeah you got 15Bil next
Just wondering how incursions are going to work with players who have purchased 30 day shields because they will be offline for that period - ie on a deployment. Not really fair to just drop their shield and let them be raided
So far the interpretation given by the dev who did engage with the community is those people are SOL.
SOL?
Something outta luck
But there's no reason those same people won't be able to go via Cs to get stuff back if they've truly not logged in to see the ingame news in the meantime, when they finally get back in
When are the new Refinery changes suppose to take effect?
@tacit obsidian in general, I appreciate that the developers listen to the players.
however, there are many other significant issues besides the survey. one of them is the refining of vidar.
perhaps at the time of the launch of this part of the game, when there were a maximum of 5-6 officers, this was acceptable. now, with the release of 3 more epic miners and bringing the number of Borg to 11, the requirement of 3.5 years (or 7 years without prime research) to collect activated nanoprobes is simply ridiculous. I don't even mention the credits of the independent faction...
the game is always evolving, that's fine. however, it would be useful to look at the balance of things that were introduced to the game a long time ago and are not being revised
Whoa. A faction credit? One entirely whole, complete, usable, legal, exchangeable credit? Look at you, coming on here bragging and making us all feel jealousā¦
I am not bragging. And i did not spend money on getting the Pilum. But yes I prepared for it for multiple months
The reason for the post was the uselessness of the bps as stated
Every choice we make has consequences
Did you skip the level 42 ships to get the Pilum? I am at 39 and aiming for the Plum also. I would live to hear how you did it.
Yes and I spend time on collecting scout messages like a mad man. and short before I had romulan reputation making me eligible for turning credits into Pilum bps, Scopely fixed a loophole that previously had allowed to convert an endless amount of scout messages into credits. took me therefore a few weeks longer.
Since then Scopely has added away teams, another very efficient way to get faction credits
Did you have a high tier 3* Epic ship that help get to Level 46? Or high tier Iss Jelly?
T6 Augur, T6 Jelly - was enough until Shipyard 46.
But that path is not easy - most people around you will have way stronger ships than you
You have to resist
I am 5 bps away from the ISS Jelly and have T5 Augur. 142k Rom credit. I plan to get the ISS first then make my plan.
Did you get any 4G miners? I am thinking about getting the Hydra since I have 110 of Fed credits already.
I stopped upgrading the 3* Epic and dumped everything into researches lately.
Vorta + B'Chor - good investments - but both only T3 - with all the research advancements and the discovery - I see no need of spending more
correct decision
Thanks You! I don't PVP much anyway, I am just going to lay low and Surprise!!!
Looking forward to that Day! I didn't listen and went for the Mayflower and that was very painful!
HOLY!! š¤©
Naturally I did not go down this path. But that does not mean that they are wrong. It just means that there are multiple paths through this game with different trade offs
Haha was definitely /s. Getting a reward chest that gives a whole faction credit is fairly absurd. They obviously have not bothered to scale the loot boxes at all as the game has progressed.
Yes one faction credit is absurd - if thats your point
@tacit obsidian So it turns out you can't kick someone from the alliance during a takeover...that's a huge problem right now as I have a player on a bender who's dropping abusive language and we're stuck with him until the takeover ends
If you block him does that filter out the chat?
it does for me, but not for anyone else in the alliance
So, you canāt wait 30 minutes?
People can be very abusive when they want to. There was quite a bit of cussing and ranting
The takeover can be 45 mins to 1h
30 to 60 mins*
Never said the game was designed for individuals needs and wants. I agree that the game dips its hands into all kinds of player bases. The issue I have is the fundamental foundation upon which the game was built. Shields. If you donāt want your base to get raided you shield up. And now this fundamental concept is out the window unless you go to a lower system. Why do I need to be forced to move because of this event? Given Scopelyās track record of messing up the simplest of things you think that this event is going to go smoothly? How about when the event is over and you have a shield failure as an unintentional consequence of bad coding. Never happen you sayā¦Odds against it you say⦠Iām going to hold my breath here that the event is going to have issues. I hope Iām wrong
I know, he already mentioned 30 mins in chat, I am just pointing out there are other possibilities
The game is not designed around shields. Not sure where you got that from. Shields are a handout to casual players to be able to take a break. The incursion event is only 24h a go and below 20 systems are excluded. So there are still plenty of ways out of it for the pvp-phobic players.
And now you wait for the "Yeah but what if"....
Add a link to the mission
How do you fix broken ships in capital systems? Two broken transports have ruined the spawn rate in Romulus on server 29.
Can we please get normal capital traders in sol to spawn at the same rate/volume as in romulus and Kronos please
Hey what would it take for transwarp cells to be taken off the latinum antique drop table? Those things are far too rare and can be used far too infrequently for the reward to be something I get 2 of every dang day.
ROFLā¦.Shields are a HANDOUT to casual players to take a break. Iāll have to remind myself that tonight when I go to sleep that Scopely handed me a break. You got your opinion Moe and I got mine and weāll just have to agree to disagree here. And thereās your āwhat ifāā¦LOL! @sage umbra
Took longer than expected. Normally there would have been a 3hr argument and massive disappointment, then everyone walks away having wasted 3hrs of thier lives gaining nothing š¤£š¤£
But thank you for your response.
Where can I get more ata speed ups?
The cosmic clean up event store has an option tactical advantage
Contains ata speed ups I don't remember if they are guaranteed or not
Nothing is guaranteed. Itās scopely
This implys the existence of professional or competitive stfc players. Iād like to know how to get this title? Do I have to be on the game 24 hours a day so I donāt have to shield?
Except disappointment and dissatisfaction.
You donāt. Scopely has the power to. Scopely doesnāt. Thanks for reading this true story
Is the level/rank cap still 50?
No, since g5 came out its 60
Are there going to be more cap raises in the future?
Probably, as there are researches needing g6
I'd like to see it up to 80. SNW, PIC, PRO and, to a lesser extent now, DSC are still producing good stuff.
80 would be the equivalent of g7?
I guess
@round bear @empty nebula
I am convinced if there were no shields that a)
Rewards of events would not be split 50/50 between RSS and rss tokens but maybe 25/75
b) Base cracking would be harder (either more research for it available, more crews, increased base strength of stations etc.)
These two points combined would mean that raiding would be way more difficult at lower potential rewards. So less people would be willing to do it. At the same time there would be a lot more targets. So the odds of getting raided would be dramatically reduced.
When I speak of casual players I mean those that log in twice a day just to refresh their miners.
Between that and 'professionals' is a lot of room for other kinds of players.
I'll give you $20 for the extra drydock, not $50!
Use !suggest and type it in normal text, in the suggestions log.
@pulsar leaf you may want to make an in game message for maintenance for anyone that may not be on discord.
That would be impossible to balance currently considering the level 60 on our server can hit a level 39. So either make it difficult for him and impossible for everyone else or everyone is still always at risk to be raided by whales when they seem fit. A not well thought out idea all around.
@tacit obsidian the disco jump problem has been going on for too long! it has been months now since i could jump my discovery , i am tired of it affecting the sunday night events, and no movement or acknowledgement from scopely. this is really bad, and must be fixed!
Check pinned message on #š¾-bug-reporting for workaround
ok, good that that works, but it is still absolute nonsense that no fix has been given for this in such a long time. MONTHS have gone by, and what are people to do who do not have those exact officers? A FULL UNLOCK WORTH OR SHARDS FOR ALL OF THOSE OFFICERS should be in a gift box regardless of who has them or who doesnāt.
Happy 4th of July happy Independence Day
They tried fixing it once. Then they had to do something else when they broke warping and summoning for everyone. They definitely need to find a new fix for it. Doesnāt affect me as my efficiency research is maxed but still can help the smaller players
thatās why at the very least they should be sending out all shards for those officers.
The commodations medals buttons are trap buttons, intended to steal your faction credits. God help you if you're scrolling through the faction store and lag hits. Cause you'll be a new owner of the incredibly expensive medal that have no value at my level.
Doubt that it is intentional but nonetheless - i agree with the effect - a design flaw
No 4th of July event? Guess scopely is happy to take money from us in the name of freedom, but won't give us our usual holiday event.
This is an international game. and all events apply to everyone worldwide
Then why sell 4th of July packs, we've had an event almost every year, except maybe the first one.
Yes i agree - that is borderline. Scopely walks a fine line š
@ Scopely: Dont forget my German Reunifacation Pack in the store in October š
You forget that those ships cost several magnitudes more to repair. So even if you only do a few % of their hull in dmg it is likely that their repair cost will be significantly higher than what they can get from you.
In that range Billions are peanuts.
So the exponential cost means that it would be straight up not worth for them to raid you.
And again. That ship is 157 million power. My base at 39 wonāt make a scratch on it. Unless they make raiding hard enough to allow it at which point it becomes impossible for anyone else
As I said it needs to be made harder. And there are ways to make it so that even the biggest ship takes a minimum amount of damage without making it impossible for "smaller" attackers.
For example a % dmg like with burn.
It is perfectly reasonable to assume that this could be balanced.
I used to play OGame and X-Wars (browser games) which share some similarities with this. There were no shields there whatsoever.
Would be nice if we could stay focused on getting past introductions working before focusing on and creating new issues.
The only value they have is for missions
So if you're going to make a pack for sale for specific day the 4th of July it should be available for that whole day I was working couldn't go get the pack that I wanted 4th July pack and guess what It's no longer for sale and it's only 5:00 here
The pack's not even available throughout the 4th I was waiting to get off work to purchase and guess what is gone on mine and it's only 5:00 here do they not get the fourth goes until midnight
The pack was there all weekend š¤·š»āāļø
Yeah I noticed it had a goofy timer, but it was up for a couple days. Was tempted to buy it, but then remembered I'm not spending anymore money on this game.
Yes
Maybe š?
PDT is UTC-7
8 minus 7 is 1 so yes then
From the right base? 10 clicks or less.
I still use my Amalgam and I have a 14m cargo hold on my Nova. Amalgam rocks.
It was a pretty bad pack anyway.
Chance packs on officers are pure gambling and you end up most likely with a bunch of shards for an officer that you don't really need them for.
Almost ā¦. Almost ā¦. Yet we stil get kumari BPās at level 38 + š
Who cares , nobody has 500 unopened chest unless your using a bot . We need better rewards instead of these crap stuff we get for years
Epic projectile
Increase damage against armadas by X%
but will X be higher than Y^2 - 2Z ?
That's right, now I remember. They've reduced it to lighten the server lag (supposedly).
I mean to be honest no one needs more than 1000 so if it helps reduce server lag then it's a good change
but man did I get my hopes up when I saw that
This new thing with snw pike and the 3 officers that work with him for over sucks cuz its on a set ship type hitting a set target leaving out most hostile grinding is against traders foe extra rep.
I could like with on a set ship type but against a set target means only pike spock I'd really food for swarm.
I wish wish WISH they had one for fighting surveys
maybe M'Benga or Nurse Chapel? It might make no sense BUT I HAS TO BELIEVE š¦
One update at a time...
Two weeks to a month out, based on Battle Pass time.
I did get my wish for a new account to fully immerse myself going forward...
hmm. No July Maintenance schedule?
There was no limit or a much much higher ine, and at least two people in my alliance never redeemed them and would show screenshots with several thousand unopened, no bot, just refused to open them
That the point ⦠why would you open them if the loot is not wurth it
To get rid of the annoying red indicator
That indicator is like a major Red Alert signal
Oh boy, youāre going to struggle with the new update: red indicators EVERYWHERE!
What have hostels ever done to you? @lilac latch thanx for the giggle!
It was higher than that; I went to 10,013. I saw someone post a screenshot that had like 15,000.
https://tenor.com/view/red-gif-15523874
I think i have some alerts/markers š¬
that should not happen to anyone for hours like it happen to me last night. PVP is a thing. Abusing for hours is something else.
I have no idea what this image is showing
Looks like people having floating ships and others are mining.
you should clic on "original" and then zoom in. you will see
No thank you
And? This is a 24/7 game
If you donāt like it shield up and play the next day
Babysitting is a very effective tactic in war

āScopely donāt let other players remind me that I have consequences for my allianceās actions!ā
Hi everyone. I just wanted to make a query or a suggestion on support for alliance members and whether there were or should be any features to help your fellow alliance members grow, protect and unite?
For example, ability to donate resources to each other, ability to dock at another member's station for repairs if your station is far or even a trade of resources or latinum as a way to build relationships with other alliances. No?
A lot of new features lately have been focused on individual players. But I see merit in anything for alliances
Use !suggest in the suggestions log. Some of what you posted has already been suggested.
Thanks sir
Ask a bigger player in your alliance to shoot him , find his base , let them crack it ⦠he wil stop Iām sure š¤£
Finding his base is easy, it's on the same planet
Did not see that photo š¤£
Relocate??
There must be someone bigger then 29 in your alliance @harsh cape have them shoot him and crack his base , that will stop him
HĆ© wil not like the repaire Bills
Or ask another fiend to do it
Yeah, I'm not sure I understand the problem. A kos player is killing off the fortunate that you wave in his face for an hour. Why haven't you moved yet?
Personally I would turtle up, or relocate.
This literally shows your ship A being attacked over and over by him. you give him a target and he shoots it....
If your alliance isnāt helping , move to a better alliance I say
Whales talking š have fun!
We where all 22 some day and handled it with help from alliances
You are a special one, aren't you?
Seems so , asking for help and then calling us whales š
Whose bright idea was it that we need red markers everywhere?
This supposedly should help the mobile players.
Some of the markers may be unnecessary, but for others I welcome the chance to ditch my 22 hour reminders I have to set after every claim.
Help? How? Now I have no clue which stuff I haven't claimed yet, as the markers are always there, everywhere. So I still end up clicking everything
Iām not sure how this is a known thing with the game still down, but I digress.
game has been up for some time now
Are the servers up?
Mine isnāt, at least.
i think it depends on the server, different servers will be ready at different time
All servers should be up in 40 mins.
Was hoping that the loot box changes meant better loot for killing high level hostiles. Looks like it will be the same loot only we can open more of it at once. Disappointing
finally we will be able to get more kumari bps with every opening, at least if we wait till we have 100 chests, I'm so exited š¤”
don't forget the envoy bps
Loot Chests Changes - No improvements to what is actually in them.
Improvements - Hey, I have an idea to add a red marker in 57 places!
Bug fixes - Nothing of real relevance. How about fixing the returning to full zoom after coming out of another screen!
Wth. Was there advanced knowledge on the loot box thing?! Iāve been saving them and Iām going to lose about 3k worth
Another ticket thatās not going to be addresses
You wonāt lose anything if you open them after the update. The contents of your old chests will be moved into the 1k limit chests.
If you gain chests after that? Yeah, gone.
Nobody wants more friggen red markers
Why would you save them?
maybe someone was hoping they will fix the loot tables in the future? and that fix be retroactive? Even if they do adjust the loot I honestly have little faith it would be retroactive
It's not lost, read the notes š
The red indicators everywhere. Annoying as hell. Yeah you guys shouldāve created a setting where we can turn them all off
But, why are all those horizons so important? š
ok, new update, new improvements, but.....
please remove these: as a matter of fact: Remove them all!!!!
I save them just for a little postponed enjoyment for when I update ops. Like a celebration of dollar store gift bags
This is why the hangar has so many slots, for all those horizons, envoys, kehras šš
Red markers⦠already have tickets in for red markers I canāt clear
All these damn red blobs everywhere that I donāt want to openā¦
Already hate the little red markers everywhere, I can buy 13 things in the alliance store, but I donāt want too and donāt want to see a marker for them
The red markers being everywhere is not helpful, just annoying.
Thanks Scopely really helpful⦠reallyā¦
Usual let fix something thatās not a problem
Break something else in the process
Please revert this already!
but this way they can add another 'improvement' next patch: "Removed all red markers from the game"
which really would be an improvement š
it is very annoying.....
Can we please get more red markers. Still not enough of them as I can actually see other things over them. Thank you
Seriously Scopely? Dysfunctional Red Markers everywhere to annoy us?
Yuk, all those red marks make the interface so cluttered, yuk, yuk
should I buy all Shields everyday to get rid of these silly markers?
that or until you run out of currency
@tacit obsidian Please take note how bad this red marker idea truly is. The screen already gets false markers, unwanted mission reminder and annoying popup every time you do something. Please get these red markers removed they simply give rise to future bugs and really are a useless addition.
Pull back all those redsā¦. For my sanity! š š š š
tjeez.....let them fix something what is really a pain in the a..... all the crashes, memory problems ......etc .etc
This is torture aswell
@tacit obsidian I think you guys went a little to much into that red markers thing
I am guessing someone at Scopely noticed most people's screens look something like this:
My screen may as well be one giant red exclamation point.
and then figured: "hey, they must like those red markers, lets put them everywhere!"
This red markers need to go... jesus i'm so annoyed by them
These are horrible, please remove
Just because you can afford stuff does not mean i want to be reminded of it ALL THE TIME
Yeah, this is not what I thought it would be. Now itās just like the Ships button.
How can these be classified as 'improvements'? Red crap everywhere
Red markers are a disaster. Revert, revert, revert
If theyād done it intelligently rather than āHave currency? Yay!ā I would be on board. This⦠this is worse than the officer indicator āimprovementsā
Good lord, there isn't even anything here to action and it's screaming at me!!!!
Presents - Button shows 4 - no red markers inside. And in fact it's 5.
Oh, man⦠if thatās saying āYOU CAN START AWAY MISSIONS!ā theyāve lost their damn minds.
nice improvement...
C'mon Scopely, the LAST thing this game needs is MORE notifications that you can't shush with a "Seen it, re-alert only if it changes".
I hate all the new red badge icons. I've been wanting you to remove the ones on officers tab that increases everytime you max an officer (because that makes no sense). Not add dozens of others
E.g. I'm saving for 4* armada chests. I really don't want to keep being reminded that I can now afford 3*. I'm fully aware, i'm waiting for something else
said no one ever
Rather than making pop-ups every everywhere it would be much better, to be able to customize from which item one would like to get notfiications.
Just think, the time this took you could have improved gift chest or hostile drops.............
We've now determined that as well as having no QA department, they also don't have a UAT team. 
maybe they should look in the suggestion channels what the players want.... instead of adding š©
counted 153 active markers in main Screen (numbers added) - 95% at least useless to me.
So to summarize:
-
We have red markers everywhere and no one asked for it
-
We get terrible arc with zero events
-
no one is reading any feedback from players
-
New useless building with new useless currency available only as a premium in store
-
Officers with the most random abilities out there
-
Scopely is looking forward to have just 50% of servers running at the end of the month
These red markers are bloody awful. Great job on adding something no one asked for or wanted.
@tacit obsidian Please give us a opt out of red markers
@tacit obsidian all these red exclamations are NOT an improvement
nothing in this game update is an improvement
Those red markers are annoying as hell already - why do they always make things worse š©
general feedback so far appears to be "Red markers why?" and "where new currency from".
wait a minute, they did not add red markers to the gifts section, scopely fix it asap please
(sarcasm)
Just take the L and roll back. Please.
So many ā!ā Make it stop!
This is no arc fall, it's an arc fail. š
Game improvements⦠IMPROVEMENTS!!! The red markers on everything is NOT an improvement
Can we uninstall this version and go back to the last version to get rid of all the red numbers please.
Oh Scopely, there's no "store" button on the alliance help window. You should fix that ASAP, that'll sell more packs. š§
š³ šŗ š² š§ šŖ š· šø ...........
Yes the red markers are annoying!!! š
A bit overboard... very distracting. Get rid of those!
Good morning is anyone see away team complete and not been able to collect?
That's telling you you can start four.
I have 8 on that screen?!?!?
Nobody asked for that functionality yet there it is...
OMG Scopely! red exclamations everywhere is not an improvement! š”
But I have nothing to start either.
I was wondering they are "new away team missions"
Like the frams
I restart the game a nothing.
Things that you need reminders for daily, refinery and syndicate, are ok but not on things like the store or away teams.
I keep auto hitting the alliance store because I have a 17 red marker š
Also I thought we were going to get a loot chest update? All I see in the note is they are limiting how many you can have save. That is not what I thought the change was going to be.
wait what.
"Hey, remember to buy stuff today." š
all the new red exclamation marks added in the 7-5-2022 patch are awful... I don't need a zillion indicators to buy every possible peace shield iteration, or spend every last away team credit I have.. they don't make sense š¦
Look at the notes. They said it was going to be limited to 1000 and if you have more the oldes was going to be remove
well screw me i had like 5k saved up
Loot Chests Changes
Changes to the loot chest system include:
The maximum number of loot chests the inventory can hold will be limited to 1,000
When the limit is reached, the oldest is removed and replaced with the newest chest earned.
The opening limit has increased to 100 (previously 50)
If you have more than 1,000 loot chests currently, the contents of your loot will be transferred into the 1,000 limit.
fear not, the preciuse vak/kumari/khera/horizons bps are not lost
You can use them now. Anything over 1000 will be added to your first pull after the update. But then youāll start losing the older ones and stay within the 1000 limit
they moved them to the 1000 chest remaining
but this is a one time thing, so starting from today start opening the chest or you will loose the loot from the oldest one
Oh if those red dots don't disappear after I click on them I'm going to go insane.
Scopley hates people with OCDā¦ā¦ red flags everywhere š
Yes but I thought it was going to be a change on the loot
thanks going to open them all now. see you in an hour. lol
that would have been a good change, so they've choose to do this one instead
More red flags than my ex. 
You do realize there are a lot of items we COULD redeem but we do not? like all the different types of shields, avatars etc?
@pulsar leaf can we remove these red markers - they are damn annoying at best of times why add more lol
This would never have pased User Acceptance Testing. So clearly it never went there.
I think we are the user acceptance testing. The feedback seems to be slightly negative.
Way to many red dots.
What a stupid update. Tells me i have 5 away missions. All are at least 8 hours from finishing. I donāt need reminder that there are 14 things in the alliance store i donāt want to buy or 11 things that i donāt want to refine.
Imma join the chorus here- to hell with all these red dots.
Seriously what is happening at scopely... They make millions, and can't even fulfil the most basic development steps...
Thought one of our guys had bought 29 packsā¦. Whereās my 15 min speedups
as well as the horrible red badges, when scanning a ship to view opc, the numbers are now much much smaller and the decimal point is ridiculously tiny. I've thought multiple people had way more OPC than they did
The new red pips are annoying
Red pips on the Alliance button for Territory and Alliance store claims
Red pips on the refinery for ship skin shard tracker items in the Amalgam refinery and for the Progenitor Alloy trade-ins (not terrible, but I prefer to turn those in 10 at a time instead of 1 at a time)
The Territory store one wouldn't be bad if it didn't include the Jellyfish, the resources, or the Black Fleet Memorials
The Alliance store one wouldn't be bad if it didn't include the shields
Donāt worry guys for $159.99 you can buy exclamation mark prime to remove them
bargin!
So of all the things they could have fixed.. They give us red dots all over... My screen has chicken pox. What a pointless and unrequested update.. Just shows how much they listen š
Not to mention nerfed pve chest limits going forward
Some of the refinery ones were way overdue (ship parts, territory, discovery, cerritos, and Amalgam), but they put them on bundles that really shouldn't have them.
Open them every 100 and it's not nerfed.
I'm doing testing to see what drops in them now
WTF ARE ALL THESE RED SQUARES FOR?!!
Turn off all the red flags! I donāt care that I can redeem iso-emulsion for parsteel tokens in the territory store!
I barely get alerts when I get hit, yet I get notified there is parsteel available in the territory store?
Where the hell are your priorities Scopely?
please roll back the change with the red flags! You've made them useless by including things people almost never claim!
Who ever thought, ya know all those annoying read markers you can't get rid of? Well how about we triple the amount of markers that you can't get rid of.
Definitely an "improvement" in annoying your player base.
the new red marker is nice, however it indicates a lot of items for me that i have no interest in (creating noise), I would welcome the option to individually toggle / supress notifications off for particular packs etc
Or... And here's a wild suggestion, the markers should just disappear once you've clicked on them until there's an update on that specific item or it comes back available after you have purchased whatever it was
Also, the away teams ones appear to be bugged, says I have 2... I have 5 in progress and all the others I clicked in to specifically to make them not show as new
Red markers⦠noooooooooooooooooooooooooo and more nooooooooooooooooo
Red, red everywhere... š why did you do this scopely
On a serious note, there is an IT phenomenon known as notification fatigue. It is the point at which the notifications are so numerous and onerous that the end user ignores them altogether. Iād say that point has now been reached in STFC.
What is the point of telling me I can buy shields in the alliance store
I know I can go there to get shields.
Get rid of this crap all over the screen
Those new exclamation marks are just annoying and no improvement!
Opening the game after update I get the feeling exclamation marks were on special sale š
They make it harder to spot notifications that are important. I wish I hadn't bothered updating
Please change the notifications back or give me an option to disable them.
The exclamation marks arent a bad idea in general, but how about a setting that lets you enable those reminders per claim/shop option? Or only show the reminder after the user has claimed it at least once?
Or notifications only for things that have been on cooldown?
Right now I have notifications for a lot of stuff were I am intentionally saving/not exchanging.
I mean, what use are those notifications telling me that I have enough alliance credits to buy a new und peace shieldā¦
I donāt need to know I can claim shields Iāll figure it out when I go to put a shield on and donāt have any to use.
There's stuff you may never want to claim or can't claim.
There were already too many alerts you can't clear making it hard to prioritise
If you hadn't updated, you wouldn't have received the new content at event change.
Please get rid of all the red Exclamation marks !!!!
Throwing my complaint into the mix as well. The new notifications was noble attempt but it's just clutter now and distracting as hell.
Save it for the important stuff
Jep exactly. So for example, only notifications for stuff that has a cooldown and the user has claimed it at least once.
Slapping exclamation marks on every single claimable item/option is like hiding a tree in the woods. Works really well and is called advertisement overkill
GET RID OF THE RED MARKERS AND FIRE THE PERSON WHO THOUGHT OF IT. THX
w t a f is that . .
It wouldn't be so bad if the markers cleared when you viewed the item
I wouldn't mind clicking through clearing them all once
I also wouldn't have a headache because I have visual disturbance.
I have high visual sensitivity due to Fibromyalgia and already have a list of games I can't play due to bright colours, busy screens and flashy pop ups.
Looks like STFC will be going on that list.
so when we reach our loot chest limit the oldest is just lost? if so thats bs considering I've put in multiple tickets for almost a year because I've been unable to open mine
Are server transfers working?
No. Will likely be back in august
There ain't no servers without red marker plague š
All these dang red exclamation marks is really annoying.
yes until a certain level - 15 or so. You got 1 token.
MY GOD SCOPELY MAKE IT STOP. ALL I SEE IS RED.
No. Theyāre disabled. When they return it will be ops 12
Let me guess... there is going to be "Red Dot Disable Pack" for $99.99
Re-read the patch notes: I think if you get to the limit, any chests over that will just roll into the other ones.
unfortunately I think that's only for the ones you had pre-patch
So, no transfer until Ops 12?
Currently all transfers are disabled. Once they are again enabled you can do it up to ops 12, not beyond that
O M G!!! Get rid of those red number indicators! Theyāre freaking everywhere! Esp on things Iāll never cash in (avatars esp).
Good god. Who tf thought that was a good idea???
no transfer after 12
But none at all right now
Hey Chatty Cathy
He said that already
