I scored on epic crits only 2 out of 4 times 🤷‍♀️ Burned through a lot of extra AT speedups to finish this buggy event!

[bold nymph]

are you sure you bought the avatar and not the hailing frequency?
....also wtf, one message per every 5 minutes on slow mode? that is frustrating....

[pallid tartan]

Aye I just saw that, thanks for the heads up mate

[pure gorge]

Thanks for making the game unplayable with a galaxy wide PVP event when you you get it thought your heads people dont like it.

[noble citrus]

Borg Cerritos event scoring for anyone? Not getting any points...

[sweet valve]

Hey Patty, I did it with capitol transports

[open swan]

Yesterday Valentines Day love and peace. Today kill everything everywhere. Nice balance Scopely! Well done! 💩💩💩💩💩🙈🙈🙈🙈

[noble citrus]

Theres a borg probe specific one....I realized why its not scoring its only up to the 33 systems...because of course why would we score for all the new systems that were added...waste of tokens...

[errant vault]

yup and regular second contact starts at 36 ships...

[queen trout]

THANK you scoplay for wasting my time, token and boost 👍
A normal person would expect it to score

[marsh aspen]

They are not learning. Limitless pvp event is just making the majority angry
Good job scopely 👎

[lyric quiver]

Galaxy wide pvp for 2 days Scopely? 🖕

[charred hill]

Did $copely forget to double check their event descriptions?! No specific system for pvp = many unhappy players, even the $$$ ones

[timid totem]

this wasn't the kind of f'd people wanted to get during valentines week, scopely

[errant vault]

Why I always read events before doing them.

[lyric moth]

Galaxy wide pvp event. Just when you think it cannot get more ridiculously stupid, Scopely says "hold our beer"...

[mild moth]

They messed up everything they can. Always.

[haughty compass]

WTF @oak matrix. A pvp event with no specifications. Thats one of the worst ideas you had so far 🤬😡💩💩💩💩

[worn patrol]

Pvp events should be limited to a couple systems only. Not the whole map.

[limber marsh]

So I have two days to stay away from scopely, nice

[vagrant topaz]

A normal person would expect a hostile that isn’t listed to score in an event that specifically lists hostiles? 👀

[weary silo]

https://tenor.com/view/anyone-here-tumbleweed-john-travolta-pulp-fiction-where-are-you-gif-22041899

[brittle magnet]

not just that... for 2 days long... GREAT thinking there...

[queen trout]

What is your purpose here to be a c?
By adding new systems and as a business model be proactive and not put everyone in the same system 33 when you have lots of new systems,consuming a token you would expect the new systems to be part of the event .
So smarty pants go back to being sarcastic, as you offer no relevant input . This is a feedback section not pick a fight section .

2d PVP SLB. BOYCOTT. put up a 3d shield and ch3ck back in 2d. most of 34 dont play this as a strictly pvp game and this evt makes it unplayable. Spread the word through your servers

[brittle magnet]

Not the first time. And I thought we (the players) TOLD them before NOT to...

[hallow carbon]

I hate this PVP event - just made the game unplayable for me thanks #Scopelystinks

[vagrant topaz]

Yet, here you are picking a fight? I posted in Event Chat just at reset time advising that the new systems not being in the scorecard had been raised. Shortly after a colleague posted that it wasn’t being fixed this run.

[noble citrus]

A normal person would assume if it says kill borg probes that all would score

[vagrant topaz]

It lists the specific probes on the card:

I don’t like that they’re not on there, but I did everything I could

[tough obsidian]

a normal stfc person though? one whos played long enough to get into the 36 system, expects scopley to have had forethought? lol

[elder herald]

These mini Incursion events are awful. I can't even get started on the other events because I keep getting killed by the people doing the PVP SLB bravo Scopely, bravo.

[vagrant topaz]

#🏆-event-chat message

[green cave]

Love this event need more

[hallow carbon]

Leave PVP to certain systems to allow others who don't want to participate the ability to play the game

[vapid meteor]

Confine pvp events to specific systems ffs. I enjoy pvp and we need more of it, but as we’ve stated 10,000 times, the daily grind takes hours everyday. Making that take longer is a pain. Let the PvP happen in a specific place so that both sides can be happy

[green cave]

Everyone except a few in my server loves it this needs to be monthly with alliance leaderboards and on mondays server wide pvp is desperately what this game needs.

[barren junco]

pvp events belong in specific systems, not all over, you are just give free reign to griefing, does any at scopley even have a brain?

[vagrant topaz]

Yes, please use your nice words 🙂

[high loom]

Untill they restrict the PVP evt, dont even launch a ship. Recommend your server to completely ignore the game

[pure gorge]

Im just sitting here to finish the help event then im done with it

[tiny terrace]

A wise man once said „**** this ****“. 🤗

[vagrant topaz]

Remember that you have your playstyle, others have theirs - one (two 😬) days every month is hardly the end of the world if you’re not a fan of PvP. Maybe dip your toe in the water 🙂

[limber zephyr]

There's a reason why the community hates open galaxy pvp events. You hear it EVERY time one runs

[vagrant topaz]

Some* of the community.

I love it, as do a few posters above you.

[amber lintel]

Picard Crusher event didn't score my epic or rare I rushed, out of speedups and not enough to finish event now... support but keeps telling me to wait it out but the rest of the assignments scored immediately... on top of a pvp event while trying to mine 3m trit for a mission in the arc chain, this is bs.

[vagrant topaz]

Comp for ATAs that didn’t score for people is being worked on.

[visual anchor]

The least y’all could do on these full system pvp is to include a limit that it’s battleship vs battleship, and surveys don’t count. Folks flying surveys are obviously not the least bit interested in pvp. That change alone would eliiminate most of the complaints you are getting on these events.

[barren jacinth]

why no points for critical success in ATA event? i dont have epics for a while, i cant finish this event only with points for rare, without points for critical.

[hazy hare]

I’m buy the totems for whole valentines event and now can play because pvp event in all universe!

[frigid burrow]

Second Contact Elite doesnt seem to be scoring at all either.

[pure gorge]

The prob isn't PVP the prob is it being forced onto people. PVP is fine but lock it in system(s) so people have the choice to PVP or not. **because **people have different play styles.

[barren junco]

Okay

[vagrant topaz]

The valentines event is an ATA event, so you don’t have to leave your station.

[kindred aurora]

It's a problem when PvP interferes with other events. Plenty in my alliance enjoy PvP but agree this was either badly planned or designed intentionally to annoy people.
Para Bellum, Cerritos and the Fed killing SMS.

[lyric moth]

Now that all 3 of you are identified😜, maybe we could discuss the 98.9% who don't? I don't like pvp personally, least of all because Star Trek was about exploration and diplomacy and not whale-yanking greed, but I see why people would. So stick it in a system, or even a rotation between the faction spaces? But not the whole damn galaxy. Also, pvp isn't hitting players 30 levels lower than you, or hitting miners. That's just griefing. PvP would require more refined level capping so that some element of game mechanic knowledge could dictate the outcome of a battle instead of who's got the biggest wallet.

[vagrant topaz]

99% is a stretch.

[fiery cape]

Yep. More like 99.9%

[visual anchor]

Maybe, but I bet it is right up there near 90%. The game was never designed as pvp centric. Players looking for a pvp experience moved on before they got very far. Scopely only started tacking on pvp stuff that poorly fits because that vocal few that want it happen to be whales that have invested a ton of money in big ships.

[limber marsh]

How many 9's after the decimal point we can write before discord goes on strike?

[hazy hare]

You need to travel to other systems for hit an enemy or mine something.

[limber zephyr]

I'd say you are discounting the majority of complaints for the very few who have posted that they like it.

Servers turn into ghost towns every time these events run besides the few that actually like them that can't find any targets besides those just trying to get non-pvp events and dailies done

[high aurora]

Why on earth is there no bonus scoring for critical away team successes on a 24 hr event that relies on RNG Away missions types? If someone gets stuck with 2 day rare or epic, or only get uncommons, they're boned . Especially when trait xp is not counted....Without crits someone could literally run through ALL their speedups and still not complete it.

[timid totem]

Probably how they get numbers down to patch servers

[pure gorge]

the majority of players I interact with do like limited PVP. Galaxy wide PVP is a mechanic of the game and it does happen anyway.. But when you entice people to do it as a SLB that has no end for two days it griefs the majority of the server that could care less. And just want to complete the events they want to do. This is not the 1st time it has happened and sadly will prob not be the last.

[lyric moth]

Of course I'm exaggerating but I bet you it's the vast majority of the playerbase. I'd be interested to see if there's a metric to monitor how many 3 day shields go up, how many active players are offline for much longer periods etc. Never going to see them but it'd be interesting

[reef sky]

Exactly. Pvp everywhere, anyship, specially with current level bracket for 2 days, paired with never ending pve grind... its as if you want people to shield up and don't show for 2 days

[vagrant topaz]

Yet again Scopley allowing wallet warriors to wreak havoc 54mil ships killing everyone. Give me a break

[exotic scaffold]

Only 54M? consider yourself lucky, 400M is even better.

[pure gorge]

The metric that matters is how many people get there feelings hurt and go buy packs to up the person that just killed them. I am a pretty large spender I don't care for PVP so I ignore it when comes around unless I cant because it galaxy wide. I am pretty active in the community and I see more people that hate these events than love it. But in the end the only metric that will "talk" is the $ spent in the store. This is a for profit company.

[green cave]

The people who enjoy this event are busy killing. The ones who do not like this event are way in the minority, they may be vocal but in no way represent the whole player base. Pvp is necessary and this event needs to stay. Pve dominates this game and a couple days a month won’t hurt you. Yiu can still pve, still finish events, still mine. This event forces alliances to actually, gasp, help their own. If you don’t like it, shield and go do something else.

[lone dragon]

Shielded and parked all ships for the next 2 days. Boycott in effect for PVP event. Maybe if they made the PVP ranges more reasonable I might participate. There is no reason for a level 60 to be attacking a level 35 player.

[vapid meteor]

I love pvp, and hate it not restricted to a specific system. Has also been one of the top complaints that it was removed from incursion

It is absolutely a fact that the vast majority want it restricted to specific systems. It’s only the lvl 55+ players in our server that enjoy it

[vagrant wraith]

you love skilless pvp apparently

[lyric moth]

Maybe it's to give the server hamsters a break 🐹

@pure gorge I agree, but if scopely want to make money for longer they'd balance (and fix) the game properly. Nothing against people spending or even liking pvp, but setting it up so the 1% whales can show off their Internet wallets and upsetting the majority of the player base is just stupid even from a business perspective. Unless of course they've got a timeline to when the game will die of couse 👀

[stuck wagon]

Maybe the day they actually come round to fixing PvP brackets they will be interesting.

[exotic scaffold]

The problem is, why bother having the SLB. Just give the top rewards to G5 epic ship players. You can't compete. The 1 zone PVP, is lame, no one goes, I have no problem with server wide, if it was narrow brackets. basically by ship type, make everyone punch in their own weight class. yes, the G5 epic guys are going to have a rough go finding other G5 epics, but its not like anyone else can do anything with them anyway. I have the 53 ships, its not fair for me to go punch on G4 guys, nor is it realistic for me to go against G5 rare/epic.

[green cave]

Funny how all léveles on my server participates in this event and scores against all players. Maybe scopely should make pvp servers for this event, let players who pvp pvp with increased rewards so we grow faster than pve only servers

[mild glacier]

Thanks for another stupid pvp event where no one is allowed to mine for 48 hours. Griefers everywhere just saying “leaderboard”

[pure gorge]

The solo milestone PVP are never a prob for me to complete. If I need to to complete and people are not in the system I just hit a bud in another alliance and we PVP till done. SLB gets dumb because there is no end to the event for anyone in this case 2 days. If people loved the galaxy wide PVP so much servers would not have made ROE a thing.

[grave rose]

Yep @wanton copper @icy cairn screwed me so not enough Irvin it’s to probably complete the event

[high loom]

If you're in the 98% that dont play this for PVP. I STRONGLY encourage you to shield and dont even log in whenever there is an unrestricted PVP event or incursion

[pure gorge]

That is the point. People should not have to. They should have an option to OPT OUT other than just not play the game they enjoy and or spent money to improve to play.

[trim nacelle]

Logic? Since when has that come into play with the events?

[green cave]

Others have ALSO spent money to play and love this event, not just players in the 50s but low levels as well. 2 days will not impact you or your FarmVille play style

[warm blaze]

Add negative score to pvp events and stopp player trade res in raid events or dmg / kills in pvp events or remove that kind of events its senseless this way.....

[high loom]

Spend 2 days with your family unless they like beating you as much as stfc whales do... restrict pvp

[pure gorge]

I'm just ignore you as you can not hold an intelligent conversation with out falling to bully comments. no wonder you love this event. 🖖

[molten wind]

what fun is it when a 35 mil ship hits my 4m ship I am nothing but a bug on his windshield no fun in that

[hazy hare]

I’ve spend money to play the valentines event and can’t do it. Then?

[white bramble]

That’s a great way to go on the low priority list

[pure gorge]

V day event is away missions no need to leave dock. You will be fine today don't know about tomorrow tho.

[frozen sedge]

This PVP galaxy SLB upgraded me to content. I guess I'll just find something else to play.

[molten wind]

probably tell you it is in wrong catagory

[high loom]

If we pay good money to play a game then the developers make it exactly what you dont want or outright unplayable the we are getting the middle finger

[lime rapids]

well done scopely. galaxy wide pvp event means i can't do anything without being attacked so shielding and logging off. if you wanted to push the player base away from the game, well done.

[clear harbor]

Just some feedback for the folks who monitor this channel. If you do this kind of event in the future, please consider limiting it to one day instead of two. It's hard to do the other events, hard to mine, and generally difficult to do anything during this kind of event. It's great if you're a PVPer but for those of us trying to complete events, it makes things really difficult. Thanks!

[molten wind]

Scopely does not care

[timid tundra]

Just some event feedback why is the not a flag / 0 points, or -1 point for ever unit under protected cargo for under protected cargo miners so people can still make progress in the game and players can still pvp

[marble sierra]

so refreshing hitting bases with ships for points. almost like that other event. oh wait

[green cave]

Ffs Scopely just give everyone a sheild pack so they can stop crying like babies. That way their game is not hurt and they can OPT OUT. But keep this event monthly but put it in mining Monday to make it more challenging

[woven grove]

You definitely live up to your name... 🤔

[glacial flame]

Sounds like a typical spender, look what ship I bought type of response 😂

The pvp event is not an issue, it's the decision to run multiple pve events at the same time so the whales just line up at the entry points knowing ships with pve crews are on their way

[spark lagoon]

Maybe would be better to have valentines day event not like valentines week 😂

[green cave]

I finish my events just fine, your alliance too weak to help?

[marble sierra]

the pvp event. everyone below your bracket becomes targets so u dont give pts to ppl in your bracket. not very kosher scopely

[empty pivot]

Ordinarily, a PVP event requires willing participants. This time out, it's just open season on anyone who happens by.

[marble sierra]

cracked so many bases for pts and they still dont shield

[glacial plaza]

Scopely, you are idiots!!

[tender niche]

I spend about $400/month. This event is making me consider deleting the game. Good job Scopely! /s

[wet copper]

Well done scopley you killed the game events 4 hrs old and our server is like a ghost town

[fallow oar]

Great event, run it like this every month. On a monday 😉

[civic tendon]

3 days shield on, will be back after this dumb event is over

[wet copper]

See they listened to deuce let’s encourage new players not sure how this encourages new players and I’ve shielded gonna take some time off see what else is out there I’ve heard good things about no man’s sky

[final pendant]

This event is absolutely trash. It prevents players from doing basic things in the game. This event is pointless and doesn't give players a reason to log in for 2 days

[storm mica]

I wont say anything more about the pvp event and how terribly it is - server wide 🤦‍♂️ But please make sure you adapt or toss it for the next run in one week @wanton copper @icy cairn

[soft agate]

I am personally having a great time but in the future make this. 1 day event… server is already becoming a ghost town due to everyone bubbling

[meager anchor]

Such an terrible event. Seems as if Scopely wants to make it worse playing even without bugs …

[craggy urchin]

If they run this event in a week without control on where pvp happens, I'm gonna do exactly what I'm doing now. Shield up and think about what else I wanna play.

This game is already collapsing under the weight of a near incalculable grind. Days like today just hasten that collapse by reminding people of other issues in the game. Specifically, the pvp gap in this case.
Subpar event in a game that has itself become subpar.

[safe ether]

If you intended for people to just sit and boost their scores and get angry at interference then it was a perfect event….

[rare oar]

The PVP events should always be set systems. Having it everywhere kills the game.

[sullen oracle]

PVP is great fun,..... when folks are within 4 lvls of me. When my ops 35 base is getting hit by Grade 5 ships, well, that's incompetence. time to put up a 3 day and look for other games to invest in.

[valid moth]

I dislike this Unified Unimatrix SLB pvp event very much. For a measly 800 store credits the game is ruined for most people, for 2 days. Small suggestion: only pvp in your own bracket scores, and points detracted for shooting outside of it. Quite a bit more fair that way.

[final pendant]

Or you know do what they have done in the past, put it in systems and not the whole galaxy

[vagrant topaz]

Love the event scopley run this event every week please! Also please make it so killing the same player doesn’t score points so people don’t just swap kills thanks

[gloomy estuary]

300mil ship running around my sever nice

[silver crown]

As a low level player i can only say thank you Scopely for two days off the game 👍.

[molten wind]

how low of a player

[fiery cape]

New from Scopely.... Tumbleweed Tycoon!

[silver crown]

Asking what level have i reached? Or i really don't understand your statement.

[molten wind]

what level player are you

[brisk narwhal]

Dear Scopely. Server wide PVP is no fun for everyone. It discourages many players from playing and causes many to leave the game permanently. WTF were you thinking? Please restrict PVP to specific systems and tighten down the lvl restrictions for PVP combat. Most of the players that I play with are putting up day long shields and avoiding the game until server wide PVP is over.

[terse thunder]

Marvelous, the galaxy wide pvp goes next week too. I wonder why people quit the game...

[wintry lagoon]

BORG level updates are needed for Cerritos events.
For the Second Contact Elite -Borg SMS, can we please get the scoring updated to reflect the new Borg probe levels?
This is the only painful Cerritos event, as level 33 borgs are painful to grind on any day.

[pseudo stump]

This pvp event is terrible. We have other things in game we want to do than get blown up every 30 seconds by ships 10x our power. Make brackets and specific systems

[gloomy estuary]

2 days off lets you rethink if you want to play or not you will be amazed what you can get done when your not playing lol

[olive nova]

Still waiting on a fix for not scoring my critical away teams @icy cairn @wanton copper

[silent tulip]

I really like this idea.

[silver crown]

Currently lvl 37 and i'm not able to win pvp in 2 level higher than me. So no point in playing game for the next 2 days 🖖.

[lofty bison]

Scopely would rather lose players and money than have common sense and set tighter pvp ranges and limited systems

[wintry lagoon]

And exclude Sarcos to prevent the allied padding of points at no real cost.

[frail trail]

Open ended pvp events where it's everywhere sucks. Won't sign in until event is over

[silent tulip]

Any server can make their own roe. Blame your leaders. It's a game, fighting players is part of it.

[safe ether]

Would be all for it if you didn’t have people hiding away in a system Just scoring points off each other. Where’s the fun in that?

[molten wind]

oh boy another comp chest coming out forATA this time I am still waiting on the last one

[inland sonnet]

Since the start of incursions these events have got worse and worse. I thought that a 3 million tritanium event which Scopely ignored the feedback on was as bad as it could get but no - Galaxy wide pvp. It’s as if they are trying to p*ss off their player base.

[final pendant]

They want the f2p players to quit

[mellow cobalt]

For once make tailored comp chests (via cs) that only help the players that we negatively influenced by scopely's incompetence. Players that were lucky they weren't hit by it shouldn't get compensated the same

[marble ridge]

Yeah this event is for the whales only. Enjoy the next two days free from this game 😉

[sullen oracle]

in the plus side I was considering buying a defiant and the two skins today..... (puts money back in wallet). time to work on my legion clone army (order the 501st set)

[violet tapir]

Free for all PVP at the same time as a burdensome mining mission is a craptastic combo

[gloomy estuary]

if this game shuts down i want a full refund

[vapid meteor]

How many events this arc alone were fixed an hour in? Worst arc so far

[hybrid marsh]

You were warned in Star Trek Fleet Command. Reason: Inciting boycott. Then they erased my post... funny

[hollow swan]

Rare away team mission did not apply points to Picard/Crusher event wasting speed ups causing me to spend way more on common away team missions that do apply.
Officer Recruit SMS did not award or at least confirm with pop up of awarding 300 event store tokens upon completion.

[woeful raven]

Terrible pvp event, terrible bugs and scoring issues, terrible ata event that does not count crits as extra points, just really poor effort all rounf

[stable vale]

soooo stupid this pvp-event..

[molten wind]

I am afraid to do the ATA event today

[hybrid marsh]

This event under a different name 2 years back almost shut down the game. No one wanted it and it top prize doesn't even cover 1 repair cost. Stupidest event ever being repeated.

[white bramble]

It’s working now

[loud viper]

ATA events should always have bonus points for critical successes. Silly/inconsistent that some do and some don't

[whole marsh]

They just need to stop with the ATA events…. The randomness of the epic durations means one player who gets a 1 day epic uses less speedups for the same reward as someone unlucky enough to get a 5 day one, or none at all

[pliant grail]

We were asking for less grind! 2 days free is less grind.

[boreal hull]

For the last few days I haven't had any problems getting critical success on ATA missions. Today I bought that totem package and i'm wondering why not a single ATA mission critted. A few minutes after I've burned all my accelerators, just came the official announcement that it "had" issues with critical success this morning. Why wasn't there a announcement this morning and only now at the end of the day. So, now I can't complete the event anymore and buying the package was useless. Thank you.

[north mirage]

I can't do anything without being hit by the whales on my server so if the goal of this PVP event was to make me not play until it's over then congrats Scopely you win 🎉

[sullen oracle]

ya, this could be fun if the game had PvP, but it doesn't. PvW I have 0 interest in

[marsh thistle]

100% not working. I just crit a rare and got 600 points not 1200

[white bramble]

What’s broken now then?

[pallid sand]

Rare give 600 points, it's not broken

[primal cloud]

Someone give me a shout when this pathetic event is over, I’m off to play clash of clans, they’ve got more than half an idea how to run an event!

[marsh thistle]

Man I should have stuck with my gut and not did that ATA. That event was BS and expensive with my speed-ups

[crystal cargo]

Clash of clans 👍🏻

[radiant fog]

pvp events belong in pvp systems. stop trying to ruin peaceful servers with your BS events

[hidden needle]

@tropic ibex this even needs updating please to reflect the new ship and borg probs please

[white bramble]

Next run.

[hidden needle]

just ensuring someone is aware of it.

[sand lintel]

OK.. So... now that scopely took away the ability for me to see my ship repair helps (# who helped me), and given there's an alliance help event today along with a "PVP anywhere" event, how can I see how many people have helped my ship repairs before i just finish off the repairs myself?

What... you say.. you can't???

Thanks a lot Scopely... I really appreciate the lack of planning and horrible support!!!

Your events have hit a new low.

[fiery cape]

Hunger Games meets Tumbleweed Tycoon

[left marlin]

Bad enough that this ridiculous PvP SLB has turned my server into a ghost town. But what really boggles my mind is that the Event writer thought we’d enjoy TWO DAYS of this nonsense 🤯🤦‍♂️👎

[marsh thistle]

I am enjoying the pvp event the way it is being ran 🙂

[fiery cape]

There's a creative mind behind this? I assumed it was the product of a large number of chimps fighting over a keyboard

[hybrid marsh]

Any event where it cost more to repair 1 x than the top prize shouldn't exist!( such as current blanket pvp event) and any forced pvp event like this should automatically reward everyone 5xs the res and repair sp up lost. And all other events including dailies should be suspended while said blanket pvp event is on. Cause everything becomes undoable. And then turns your players away from the game.

[inland sonnet]

There’s a difference between paying a few quid and having to pay the equivalent of filling your car several times a month to play

[high loom]

3 reasons people leave this game. takes up to much of my day, glitches, unrestricted pvp..... how do devs think this pvp event is better then fixing glitches???

[golden gazelle]

We've had a couple players quit over this pvp event. Many put up a shield and logged out. Seems it's a great time to try other games.

[sand lintel]

you know... providing there were enough chimps... it was eventually bound to fix all the game problems, increase scopely revenue a billion-fold, increase player satisfaction, etc EVENTUALLY... but for now... we have this.

[hybrid marsh]

Careful you'll get

[white bramble]

You’ve posted about this 3 times now. I’ve already resolved this for you. Time to drop it and move on 🖖

[fiery cape]

🤣 so all Scopeley need is an infinite number of chimps and infinite time 👍

[hybrid marsh]

I was just trying to warn them that it could happen.

[olive nova]

Complete trash ‘fix it’ gift for the away teams ffs @wanton copper @icy cairn

[rustic leaf]

@wanton copper @icy cairn the sms is still not tracking for critical successes. I’ve burned through a ton of speed ups and had several crits post gift.

[olive nova]

I’ve burned through 400 hours of speed ups and I keep getting trash away team missions so I can’t even make up the 4+ criticals I had this morning. I paid money to do more than 1 sms and you’ve made it so I can complete any because of your ineptitude

[pearl crag]

SERIOUSLY? a 2 day all system pvp event????? Way to kill the other events and shut down completing dailies. Way to go scopely

[stoic ferry]

Many in my Alliance are thinking of Quitting this game. My alliance plays by rules. We can't kill someone doing Missions or in Swarm Space or Token Space. But many can kill me. And I can't respond in Swarm or Token space or kicked from my alliance. NOT PLAYING UNTIL PVP IS DONE! Need designated systems for PVP.

[limpid galleon]

our server has a "event goes over roe" rule in the roe. you should think aobut something like this.
nonetheless i understand the feeling. many of my guys also think about quitting these days. mostly because the game becomes pay to play more and more

[stoic ferry]

And the must purchase Directives to Win Vi'Dar skin. Then Switch on us and with Vi'Dar Talios it is now Old Trash. Then stingy on Borg Probe Tokens. Many of us Ran out of Tokens for Borg Probe Event. The Math is all messed up! About ready to QUIT THIS GAME!!!

[rustic bison]

I really enjoy PVP events, but I'd really prefer they are limited to one of a handful of systems rather than the whole map. It disrupts other play events too much. But again, keep the PVP, just a little more structure please

[rancid fractal]

If the pvp event did not award points for upc survey ships that would make a lot of people happy without annoying the whales.

[high aurora]

This is not fun

[rancid marten]

What a lovely way to try and force people to spend money and get BP points if they want to get all the milestones. That and keep people from getting to many of the valentine or assimilation credits. Way to go Scopely, way to go.....

[worn shadow]

PVP event killed the Server! 😂

[lapis jackal]

If you're gonna make a PvP event without a specified zone or system, please give us some warning! As an alliance admiral on a server with ROE, I've wasted far too much time today on this game over an event that isn't even worth doing.

[west trout]

RIP servers everywhere

[lunar portal]

Two days of unlimited PvP is garbage. Congratulations, though…you may have achieved your stated goal of reducing the quantity of grinding required. If the majority of people just shield up and tune out of the game for a bit, mission accomplished!

[dapper halo]

So why is the Cerritos 2nd Contact Elite Borg event only scoring for 33 and under Borg Probes? Why not the new bigger Borg systems??? Wasted a couple of boost’s before I realized I wasn’t earning points

[deft sonnet]

Well to state the obvious open PvP in every System is bad. You get that feedback here constantly and besides completely disregarding it, as to be expected by now, I hoped the clear dip in engagement statistics would wake Scopely up to that reality.

Again here is how PvP events work:
A.) System specific: you label specific systems for PvP with Ops ranges
B.) Returning home with loot: Simply score by ressources that players return to their base. This has the inherent OPC hunting component.

But this is Scopely and in a few months the exact same error will occur again.

[vagrant topaz]

Many people in my alliance are doing just that.... Planning to shield up for two days and stop playing. Scopely game creators have really messed up with this fiasco.

[warm cave]

I for one am having a blast

[covert flicker]

PvP event on whole map... If I don't need to do 1,000,000 PvE stuff each day this would be ok. I will do what I do on incursions, taking a day off from the game. not planning warping 10min X number of times to complete hostile or similar grinds...

[toxic vortex]

Did someone forget to update the event? I'm over here grinding 37s, wasting time. 🙄

[shell hatch]

The pvp event is such a waste of time . Making pvp in all areas plus grinding events all together. what a stupid idea. Could not get any event done what a waste of time energy. Put on top of that the tremendous lag enter a system a whale kills you before one kill rinse and repeat. What a game you have made

[zenith karma]

The PvP event “Unified Unimatrix -SLB” is a joke. My alliance is not enjoying the fact they can’t advance on events and dailies because this event is server wide and 2 days long! Really?
It should be contained to a few systems where the players that want to participate in PvP can.
Whoever is making these kind of decisions needs to think about the duress that is being done. In my opinion you are driving away people that do enjoy the game, but not your direction. Some take this action personally and leave the game permanently! You are loosing respect and revenue by making these kind of choices.
I am also not enjoying this choice of event!

[neat flicker]

You need to fight back.. don’t let some arbitrary roe make your alliance punching bags. If someone is hitting you out of roe, hit them back. And if your alliance will kick you out for sticking up for yourself or your team mates, it’s time to find a new alliance worth being in.

Btw… I hate this pvp event as well.

[neat flicker]

Got you beat.

[modest sapphire]

Between the terrible valentines event the pvp in every system and the store prices raising 10 percent seen half a dozen people i know quit the game and maybe a dozen in our server 🫤

[mossy viper]

what u guys smoking or were u drunk at scope when u planning a serverwide PVP event withing the KP with few other events? have u not done enough stupid ideas with u incursion. do u wanna loose all players now? i play this game now since the start of STFC and now i m done with u stupidity

[ocean fable]

The scoring is the real problem with these kind of events. Most of the events are pve focused in this game and from time to time there is a pvp focused event. If you don't like pvp then this is not your event. Although i agree that it should be limited to certain systems.
But the way the scoring works, these "pvp" events are useless for pve players AND pvp players. I never saw one of those events won by a actually good pvp player. And i really can't understand why they don't ban Leslie from these events or at least change his mechanic to "vs. Hostiles/Armadas". Until that happens, they could skip these events completely.
@wanton copper @icy cairn Could you please suggest a change for the officer/scoring to scopely?

[hearty vigil]

The away teams event is damn near impossible to complete I’ve burnt so many speed ups and still can’t hit the last mile stone crazy

[tight elbow]

Don't listen to the haters @icy cairn @wanton copper .the spirit of the event is good. Just need to stop colluders taking the top spots. Unrestricted pvp events are neat. There needs to be some mechanic to stop people from colluding and exchanging kills next to each other's station

[shy plank]

The pvp event is like a 2 day holiday from this 💩. Lets do that every 2 days 😂

[wet copper]

Just looked in on my server first time since yesterday and it’s like a ghost town 😂😂 and I’m now logging off again

[deft sonnet]

"Unrestricted pvp events are neat" yeah but we need to restrict people from trading. The irony is huge with this one.

Would restrictions to specific systems maybe eliminate that problem? Because then you can at least shut it down.

But hey classic case of people do not think through what they are asking for. You wanted unrestricted and you got it.

[vagrant topaz]

Love the unrestricted pvp. We need this event every week but please stop players from working together to score big on the leaderboards. Please make it so you can’t kill the same player over and over and still score points

[tight elbow]

People will still win trade even in specific system. There would been to be some meaningful penalty to losing

[deft sonnet]

Ah yes please let Scopely do this from open PvP everywhere to even open PvP where the loser loses points.

Why not speedrun how to create the perfect PvP Event that drops engagement to 0.

Simply no. People who are somewhat behind in ship power will not score in any way even with participation. If this bothers you that much shut it down. Oh this would be of course much easier if there would be only a few systems for you watch out for, but then again you want open PvP😜

Simple rule: Policing intentions is gonna fail. And you can not figure out if 2 players are just fighting over and over or if they made a deal.

[tight elbow]

It's very obvious when they've made a deal. I saw a system glowing. Took a look inside. A lvl 35 and lvl 39 based next to each other trading kills. Doesn't take a genius.

Meaningful loss would be the way to go if it can be done

[deft sonnet]

And I clearly said this is a bad idea. Are that dense that you can not imagine how your ideas might impact other players?

It is known that negative points for losing drops engagement. Should be pretty obvious. If I expect to lose more fights than I win I will get nowhere then. Also more than enough players have complained about repair costs, how do you think they will feel if that cost can come down to 0 points?

And again the other solution many players suggested, that might take some work from you gets completely ignored. Yes players trade kills even in PvP Systems, but then it is easy to shut down.

[tight elbow]

Events constrained to single systems just make it easier for whales to dominate and engagement will also drop to 0. If the event has 2 systems win trading will occur and you realistically cannot stop it.

In galaxy wide pvp with strike teams you can easily hunt people way above your own strength with bst and ist, which at this point 79.3% of people that regularly play have by now. In a few more months that number will be 100%. Ist and bst can take down pve crews 3 to 5x their own strength without the aid of Cerritos or sting.

Only scoring from the same player once per hour would probably be a good step. Or losing to the same player multiple times starts to incur and exponential loss

[forest spear]

This is the second truly terrible thing you have done this arc.
First was mining a ton to tritanium.
Now you have a multi-day pvp SLB.
You turned my server into a wasteland. Nobody dares leave their base to do anything because we'll be attacked by someone 50 times our power.
Seriously, fire whoever came up with this garbage. It is making the game completely unplayable.

[vagrant topaz]

Best event ever! Please just make it so that people can’t cheat by swaping kills with other players!

[short silo]

its called diplomatic victory and not cheating)

[junior bluff]

What happens is: people do not 'easily hunt people above your own strength' - they go for the cheap shots, meaning: they are hunting you in swarm areas and so on where people are bound do show up due to the daily grind... those nonsens events bound to single systems might favour whales but still keep the game playable to the rest - this is just driving people to shield and go offline

[indigo wolf]

The next time you decide on a server wide, unrestricted pvp event, don't bury it under another event. Announce it up front, preferably in advance.
Pvp players are preventing others from completing daily and event related activities.
Pvp should be voluntary in designated systems only. Not a way to legitimize sweeping and PD number padding.

If the problem is that whales are flattening everyone else, restrict the pvp player size in the designated areas and/or the ship type that can earn points. There are enough systems that could be designated 14-, 15 to 17, 17 to 20, 21 to 25, 26 to 30, etc.
Call it the "Pick on someone your own size!" Event. 😅

[junior bluff]

Amen. The Problem is: for real PVP people would have to do crew plannings etc, it is way easier to burn everything way below your level as long as it counts - who says you can compete with players above your level is not wrong entirely, but (a) that is very very limited (no crew get a 5 mio ship to defeat a 200 mio ship) and (b) it doesn't change the fact that people are plainly lazy and go for the easy kills . I haven't seen a single server where that didn't happen.

[vague flax]

I think you forgot to update this hostile list for the new borg systems guys. Cerritos - 2nd Contact Elite - Borg event

[inland goblet]

It's a PvP game. Go play Farmville, if you don't like it.
Or ask Pflaume to cover your chicken a$$

[deft sonnet]

Ok why don't you play another game then? There are a lot of other PvP games out there. So take your own advice.

[inland goblet]

I am quite satisfied with such events.
And that them are held from time to time.

[stone quarry]

Issues cashing in on Borg Events for shards and Mats

[deft sonnet]

There are obvious ops limits. Not something I should need to mention since all of the recent events had different systems divided by ops.

Strike Team is not a Equalizer. When will people understand that any advantage will certainly be obtained by higher level players. So much for hitting up then. Even seeing strike team as anything positive is already bad. Because before strike team there was some variation in PvP crews. Now there isn't.

Maybe one day they will find a way to do it. 1h is too much and then again you are still trying to police intentions. What about players that just fight over and over again because they want to. In the end the fans of "unrestricted PvP" calling for Restrictions is just the best irony.

[half flare]

PvP events that don’t allow players to play non-pvp aspects of the game (i.e. pve and mining) is very frustrating to most players. Please consider pvp events either 1. Restricted to particular systems or 2. That involve attacking bases (defense platform hull damage, resources raided, etc.). This is much less disruptive to play as players can do other activities at their leisure and drop their shield for a period of time when they are ready to pvp. I’m ops 42 and was doing some base defense crew testing, not participating in the event. I took a hit from a lvl 20 Newton and another from a level 25 Kelvin. That’s all the PvP I’ve done, and I am currently top 30. Participation is very low in my server (41) as you can see for yourselves if you care to. A couple ppl who love pvp irritating everyone else into not playing much at all.

[ionic glade]

They are limited to 50 pulls, your attempted purchase puts you over that limit, try a lower pull

[stone quarry]

I'm aware there are 50 pulls however it's not working on either of them and I haven't made enough credits to max out limits on any.

[uneven arrow]

Once your reach your Limit the Option disappears

[subtle scarab]

Only way global PvP events ever will be a success is if you get point bases on damage received

[vagrant topaz]

@half flare Agree and my complaint with this PVP event that's embedded in the Unified Matrix- SLB event is that some Whale alliances took it as open season on players stations, as well as, alliance starbases, which is NOT part of the event...or so it was believed. Since there was not specific systems tagged for this event, our members got hit all over the place, as well as out starbase. 😠😠

[half flare]

Bases are always fair game in my server. Shield or share. 🤷‍♂️

[vagrant topaz]

@half flare Yup..same and understand. Though last night the spike it attacks, with some players being hit multiple times, just sucks the enjoyment out. All saying "PvP event..get over it", just sends a bad message to the new players coming along that are still trying to figure this stuff out.

[jovial fog]

I personally think Scopely are a bunch of idiots, why on earth create a PVP event Galaxy wide, virtually no-one is able to conduct dailies, let alone complete the Battle Pass event. What an absolute joke this is, I've bubbled and not leaving my base, because some whale is gonna take me out cos he/she can. All I'm hearing is....it's a PVP Event so get over it 😡 If Scopely want a PVP Event, at least limit this to certain systems so the majority can get on with their daily routine. Scopely wonder why players are leaving the game, because of events like this and it's over 2 day's and they say they're listening to players....😂 because I've completed surveys saying restrict the PVP to small systems.

[vagrant topaz]

Haven't seen a mining system so bare except during an Incursion event..lol..wow

[spark cypress]

I think the point of the pve events running and the dailies.. is to entice people out of their shielded bases, so they could be pvp targets. Its not like this game isnt marketed as a pvp game. I think almost all of the trailers featured players blowing up other players?

[sinful heart]

Sounds to me they have very little understanding of the IP’s primary fan base then. And once you figure that out (that most trek fans are not pvp junkies) quit trying to make “fetch” happen. At some point you have to cut bait on an idea.

[high aurora]

https://tenor.com/view/fight-club-rules-dont-talk-dont-talk-about-fight-club-brad-pitt-gif-6144996

[spark cypress]

Most dont need to be. Its not open pvp every day. But some are, so there is reason for a balance. Its not about only catering for a minority or a majority, its about catering for what everyone wants, fairly.

[green cave]

Mining is a dangerous activity. Commercials for this game leads one to believe this is a pvp based game. If you don’t want pvp fine. Shield up. Some of you crybabies need a break from your mining anyways. Servers like ours that is a heavy pvp based server have taken this event to a whole new level and engaged in large scale fights, fights for reason.
There is another player base to think of so stop being selfish and take a break for 48 hours.

[high aurora]

There's a way to have both, that's the point.

[civic nimbus]

Pvp is fine but limit it to warships made for pvp miners are not pvp ship's

[high aurora]

If they limited it to Augment space or Exchange space, that would be a happy medium of giving a larger space that's easy to identify while not making all space a "hot zone" . That allows both PVP and PVE players to have their preferred content.

[oak crescent]

just opened my gift pack and used the 10 tokens to start the Tasha & Data SMS, but there aren't any actual trivia missions

[burnt sundial]

YEs same for me. No part 1-2-3-4

[vagrant topaz]

Yes, STFC is an pvp game and just like in other games there is big chance that theres always an bigger fish.

The main issue of this game is that there is no mechanic that protect smaller players from ganking.

IMHO it is Scopleys intention behind missing mechanics/bs-events that smaller players pulling out the wallet due to frustration that they can improve asap. Just in the hope to make some points for money… Easy2read scop🤗

[high aurora]

If they want to make some quick $. Bring back the super special faction packs

[green cave]

It smaller players can kill bigger players, it happens all the time. Smaller players have a big role in pvp unfortunately some servers have roe that screws up learning the game mechanics and play.
ROE makes this game bad. There need to be more anti roe events.

[high aurora]

They have that, it's called Incursions...oh wait...... 😉

[minor summit]

There should be a PVP event, part of your Daily Goals. Location could be based on player level. Since a daily, there would be an award. Don't want the award, don't PVP in that system. Focus on your other dailies. This gives a meaningful and consistent PVP outlet for players while offering daily point and awards.

[green cave]

Incursions is a totally different game mechanics and event. This is a FFA. Incursions is a server v server event. This event could use some tweaking maybe base the scoring around levels I would be ok with that. I ámalo for ship scaling that when you pick on a lower players yiur ships abilities are drastically decreased or target ship is increased to make it less appealing. I also strongly believe that pvp deaths should be free to repair and that is a huge issue I think that hurts pvp. If ships were free to repair who would really care?

[high aurora]

You can kind of half do that with cloaking, but your point makes sense. If we're going to have a "kill hostiles" daily there should be some pvp daily. They half did this with the Manits. Even if it's 5 pvp kills. It at least provides something for those that enjoy engaging in that playstyle .

[minor summit]

Much of our server has NO interest in PVP. Very frustrating to our PVP players. This would at least create a consistent outlet for those players, and encourage other to participate to get the rewards. Seems relatively easy to implement, and ease frustration for a lot of folks.

[high aurora]

Even if it's a 10 point milesone for dailies or something that contains a relocation token or ship parts . It seems only fair to PVP focused players

[jovial fog]

I'm all for PvP events as long it can be reasonably fair; however, this event isn't at present and most are shielding so those PvP Players are missing out which they see as unfair. I appreciate there is a "fine balance" but keep PvP localised in each respective faction space, that way some players will partake should they wish to and others can do dailies, best of both worlds perhaps?

So for example, what is tonight's Battle Pass event, if its mining, then no-one can achieve that goal can they? So will Scopely extend the BP so that players can catch up and complete the overflow...highly doubtful imho. I would imagine lots of players from different servers will have negative feedback on this event, were as other's will be happy.

[sweet valve]

@wanton copper When designing AT events, just make sure to always include bonus crit scoring so the event and don't go crazy with the points goal. A lot of people are frustrated with the event.

[frosty stirrup]

Suggestion for @icy cairn on improving enthusiasm for this nonsense: Add a middle finger emoji

[astral bluff]

did anyone reclaim the valentine tribble and did not get it?

[elder sleet]

This arc is boring

[sinful heart]

Dude, you KNOW that would cause mass exodus. Do you really think “our” server would survive? The pvp people there are wildly in the minority except for small controlled moments. You make it a constant thing? Either the whales will become absolutely intolerable, or they will lock it down, and have player ROE installed. Forcing pvp kills this game every time they do it. Because for this ip, it doesn’t draw a huge number of “pvp” fans. We tolerate it. Big difference.

[high aurora]

Yeah, I can't argue with that point. There's a reason there are thousands of mining nodes. Events like this one seem to give some people an excuse to go nuts for doughnuts and turn the server into a post apocalyptic wasteland.

[heavy escarp]

<@&509691205798592532> can we pass up the chain that the cerritos elite sms borg event needs to include the new upper level probe systems. Seems like they forgot to update the event scoring here to reflect the new systems

[sinful heart]

The Whales when the guard rails come off 😋

[dark jewel]

@wanton copper pvp event without a system is boring and it put the server to sleep.

[crude mist]

You know, there’s so much grinding in the game that there’s no time left to enjoy the game. Think about it. Mine, grind, update ships, but can’t use them to PvP or anything because got to grind, mine…

[soft agate]

Bubbles bubbles everywhere and not a drop to drink - Willy Wonka

[dark jewel]

[tough obsidian]

Heres my event feedback. Im going to quit because the events are badly conceived, and badly implemented.

[sweet valve]

I'm pretty sure at noon we'll hear complaints about yet another AT event because Scopely think back to back events with the same scoring are "fun"

[barren junco]

This event is garbage and you all know it, thanks for giving me a few days off of this game.

[barren jacinth]

upgrade the second contact probes event with new 36+ probes.

[cerulean torrent]

🤣🤣 Eclipse hostiles for Battle Pass during a PvP event. Lolz

[high aurora]

Are your freaking kidding me…..Let’s run a BP event that requires system congestion while running a pvp event…..F grade for events this month

[pearl crag]

Hitting em outta the park Scopley with a key battle pass mining event at the same time as a server wide 2 day pvp event.

[urban moth]

Are you effing kidding me? As a level 36, I cannot hit higher than lvl 40. That's 100 - 150 hostiles depending on what spawns. I paid for the punishment by purchasing the extra totems. What the actual F?!?!?

[mild glacier]

How have you guys NOT learned how to do pvp events after all this time? Galaxy wide pvp is bad, all levels pvp is bad regardless of if it’s in specific systems. This is just as bad as incursions, it’s just whales flying around crushing everything and not letting anyone else play. It’s not fun! So many people just log off and wait till it’s over. It does nothing but generate bad blood among the vast majority of the players. Nobody likes it, we all just wait for it to end. Please STOP doing events like this.

[rustic plover]

Most of my alliance is shielded and signed off. Sad times.

[tough flare]

What I want to know is who approved to extend the pvp event??? Was supposed to end and was waiting for the rewards! Who approved? @wanton copper , @icy cairn

[golden dome]

Recruit event not working. Spent ultra recruit tokens and no payouts! Restarted 2x. Still no change!

[frosty stirrup]

ROFL

[runic oriole]

Hailing frequencies are such a waste of time.

[dusky marten]

Recruit event has a picture of fkr shards but only scores for ultras. That’s a little deceptive unless fkr counts.

[urban moth]

Grind 100 FKR each. Grind 150 Swarm. Absurd PVP in systems. Eclipse Grind.

What happened to "we're reducing the grind?" @wanton copper @icy cairn

Let's have a valentines day event that going to keep our people focused on the game and not their valentine in the real world.

@wanton copper @icy cairn

Special Events are supposed to be FUN not painful.

• Trivia - FUN
• Passive activities like ATA - FUN
• Grinding 100 hostiles of each faction - NOT FUN

[runic oriole]

The issue with the PVP events isn't whales, it's people colluding to trade wins to keep high on the leaderboard

[grim summit]

I was really excited about these valentines day events, and as a mostly free to play player, doubly excited at the prospect of saving all my loot for the adorable valentines day hailing frequency. Because it is super cute.

I now learn after completing my third event, and the meta sms... it wasn't enough loot and I am shy 106 loot. Why paylock an emoji? I just feel defeated now. Even something simple and cute you design with a paywall. This is more disappointing than the arc itself.

[buoyant heath]

So ... adding a back to back away teams sms ... unless you are swiming with accels just call it "heroic" to avoid the rants ... gessh ...

[urban moth]

You can buy more accels in the event store.

[round flare]

Those are the rewards for the event

[dusky marten]

The rewards are only the event store currency.

[warm swift]

scopely when you put a pvp pls try to put a system for different lv I don't think I can kill a lv54 with ent at lv37

[woven wing]

178 sirnene I can't do a battle pass. I'm not going to send more money to this game which is Pay to Win. The rating will also go unnistall this game. PVP event for big players against small players is stupid and brings me only frustration from this game the joy of the game is gone. Thank you

[soft agate]

Was the intent of the valentines event to be able to get the tribble if you completed all 3 days? If so i am 106 short of being able to get it and did not spend on anything else

[primal cloud]

So adding a mining event during a stupid unrestricted pvp event, who’s bright idea was that? In a recent history of stupid ideas this beats them all!

[steep prism]

If yall wanna do pvp events then just tighten up the level brackets.

I should not be able to pvp with my 6 mil ship on someone with at max a 2 mil ship. Its not fair to them, its not fun, and its killing servers.

All pvp should be restricted to like 4 levels up and down.

If i cant beat someone my own size then i shouldnt be pvping

Killing a bunch of miners is boring and not pvp. That miner has 0 chance. Just pointless.

[crisp solstice]

I would just like to make sure that besides all the events you want us to do today you expect us to kill 144 faction hostiles for valentine per couple?

[warm vortex]

seriously so much how we complain and all. there is not even one respond or even any say on the why they promise reduce grind but increase it every day

[urban moth]

Yup.

[round flare]

Oh yeah the SMS is only the event store currency just the SLB has those other tokens so yeah confusing 🎉

[dusky marten]

Mine is showing SMS and SLB are spend ultra recruit only and rewards are only event store currency.

[green cave]

NO one approved anything, the event was always 48 hours.

[sweet valve]

When they give you hope the tribble would be obtainable doing an event a day, but they decide to reach for my wallet instead.....

[round flare]

Must be level based

[restive isle]

Absolutely one of the stupidest events ever concocted, GalaxyWide PVP. Second, Holograms. What nonsense!

[tough flare]

Disagree, checked before reset (new events) and was showing ~ 30 mins until event ends. So this was a mistake and the counter was not set properly?? (vs another event that can show 1d 17h until end)

[rustic plover]

So how have some people earned the 🖖 hail? It says from special events. Except for slb for the dove one etc I haven’t seen an event with them as a reward. Or does it basically mean cash…

[restive isle]

There Vulcan wave comes from PC use.

[uncut sentinel]

I normally do not comment on events as all events are of an individuals own decision to participate in. But I feel that the 2023 Valentines Event need a bit of feedback and I hope that @wanton copper and @icy cairn take this to the developers and arc runners for honest evaluation when thinking about future events.

While the concept is great in general, they need to remember level specifics. To that extent I point to my nephew who has only begun playing the game now that he is of age. Truthfully my sister will not allow him to be on Discord, but allows him to play this game simply since his Uncle plays too even though we are on different servers.

So he is a level 23 player and could not finish no matter what he tried the day 2 of the event (Screenshot is just any group)

To expect him to accomplish the points needed would require levels of the Assignments that he never gets is impossible. I understand speed ups and other tools, but Away Missions require more than 24 hours at times and if you are in school your game time is limited sometimes too.

Understand that the concept is great, but should have been longer for this particular requirement to ensure fair opportunity for this with limited time to accomplish the event.

Finally while it was acknowledged by Bek (#⭐-official-announcements message) that the scoring was not working correctly the compensation did not give the completion token for yesterday either so still not allowing for the final award.

Thank you for listening.

While this is 2nd hand knowledge, i think you may need to reevaluate ops 51 event scoring on hostiles. Specifically, I think you need to look at scoring for 53+ hostiles.

Seems like most of the G5 players really struggle with events like the V-Day fight back events. And it seems a tad ridiculous to make some of your highest spenders work so hard for events, but perhaps it's a counter intuitive business model...

@timid tundra He can still attack almost anywhere. I don't call that a change. I see two pvp event. One event in 2 systems and second almost everywhere. They already killed me in the eclipse system, but no opc.

[unique parcel]

unified unimatrix slb is still an all system hit

[hollow iron]

so doing all the free valentines events isnt good enough to get the tribble?

[cloud basalt]

Unified Unimatrix SLB is still live and has no system limits

[timid tundra]

I missed that but hopefully the system pvp will keep some heat off the rest of us

[unique parcel]

yeah. so @icy cairn and @wanton copper didnt really hear a thing and the potted plant is an apt response from @icy cairn considering they've done as much as a potted plant would do.

and the ridiculous emote pvp slb has always been risa. garbage

[lethal dock]

FKR Primes - You do realize @wanton copper and @Bek that most of us have maxed these officers, and the ones available are not starting players ever? Plus the Syndicate event is HOT trash, you think I am going to spend $300 for a few Hugh shards? This entire ARC and month make me wonder if you are even trying anymore.

[lyric cipher]

@timid tundra I wouldn't say that at all. They are still killing almost everywhere.

[timid tundra]

I feel its a distraction with out having to kill and event and comp everyone so @icy cairn @wanton copper Thank you, I feel the deserve some gratitude from time to time they hear a lot of our flack for the first time in a day my miner lasted 30 minutes without actively watching it

[unique parcel]

you must have an inactive or passive server. ours is going nuts right now. this is the only time i've complained about the game and this is absolutely ridiculous. it's their jobs to take the flack and go back to the dopely team and say, "bad decision. let's fix it" so get to work @icy cairn and @wanton copper

[timid tundra]

Mine was horrible yesterday it was hard to play today is a lot better

[icy cairn]

I had the PvP conversations with the team, bringing back feedback from discord. Based on that feedback, they decided to adjust the event. I just dropped the plant to show I'm grateful for the kind message.

[tight elbow]

Don't listen to the haters pvp events are good

[unique parcel]

which event was adjusted? hailing frequencies closed has always been risa and maurinal ... the unimatrix slb has always been all systems. if you're going to do that then maybe pare down the other events.

pvp events are great but for lower level players it makes gameplay almost impossible

[fair lantern]

It's disheartening that the creators of Starfleet Command's refuse to listen to feedback and are choosing to create events that disrupt gameplay. It's clear that they only respond to financial incentives, so I suggest that those who want to send a message to the creators should withhold payment for the battle pass.

Some players may argue that without financial support, the creators won't survive, but the truth is that there are plenty of other games available in the market that offer a better experience. It's time for the creators to acknowledge the consequences of their actions and understand that their event is negatively affecting the game.

[keen remnant]

The problem with most pvp event structures is there is almost always a gimmick. Good pvp events reinvigorate gameplay. The problem is there are several officers and game mechanics that extremely limit the design space of "healthy" pvp

Also, I highly recommend trying constructive criticism rather than ad hominen strategies. You are not aware of what all goes on behind the scenes, and from the little we can see, @icy cairn does a pretty good job of interpreting our feedback and getting some results. Prior to her involvement, generally only extereme outrage, riots, and 💩reaction in the thousands got a response from the dev team.

[vagrant topaz]

Indeed, y’all can start being nice to people while airing your grievances, the people here are working very hard to be your advocates and work to pass on your feedback.

[unique parcel]

this is a fair criticism but it felt like we were heaping praise on people for doing nothing and shielding them from feedback that is necessarily part of their job.

as i mentioned - i didnt even get all flamey when they nerfed gaila with the cardassian armada thing, but this just completely interrupts all gameplay for people who are lower levels.

[vagrant topaz]

A lot of work went in yesterday, well into the night yesterday, trying to sift through feedback, balance it against that which is positive for the event, and pass on that feedback.

The reward for that is your abuse.

Tell me why you think a CM would continue to advocate for change for the vocal groups that dislike PvP when their reward is abuse?

Use your nice, and civil words. You can still explain your disappointment or disapproval of an event or arc without attacking people.

so the syndicate event, if I double pull mantis, plus the bajoran faction bonus, plus daily for 2 days straight I am still short by 20 of the first level to get rewards. SMH.....another must pay to place event....

[keen remnant]

It is heroic, but I do object to any heroic sms that essentially requires spending $300

[uncut sentinel]

I was I thought a nice person in my feedback above 😦

[unreal coral]

interesting - prime FKR research node, takes those epic packs from utter garbage to merely epic garbage! still a hard pass for me 🙂

[vagrant topaz]

I try avoid singling people out, unless necessary 🙂

[unique parcel]

really confused here. my complaint is with the selection of events today and nothing i said was mean. just that they did nothing and the potted plant response was appropriate? no name-calling. no personal disparaging ... just that nothing was done.

[molten wind]

it has been voiced many times that the pvp are in severe need of adjustment and scopely will do nothing about it. then when a pvp event like this comes along lower to mid players get rightfully upset cause they are nothing but targets for the larger players. It needs to be adjusted so there is some fairness involved and would make for a better game experience IMHO

[vagrant topaz]

You directly said that Bek’s done as much as a potted plant would do. That’s both inflammatory and incorrect, and is derogatory.

[keen remnant]

Personally, I'd rather see more Kobayashi-maru style events over these heroic sms where ideal f2p game play gets you the first, maybe the second milestone. I'd prefer many milestone's that give 1-2 officer shards but have the same overall rewards for full completion.

[woven wing]

Tell me where is the lvl 35 miner vs lvl 59 master card player equality. I am absolutely frustrated with what is happening with the development of this game.

[vagrant topaz]

Kill 35s 🙂 shield from the 59s. Well, don’t, because only 54s can hit your station and outside of territory 😝

[fallow swift]

How can a „valentines“ event like this be? You don’t get anything except a avatar? Really, go and spread some love and give everybody a few more of this token that everyone can choose his favourite chest 🙄

[molten wind]

if memory serves me correctly the highest lvel that can hit a lvl 35 player is lvl 51 except during TC

[unique parcel]

it may be incorrect but it is not derogatory, perhaps inflammatory. however, apologies to @icy cairn and @wanton copper ... they're doing the best they can with the product they've been given

[keen remnant]

My objection to the vday events is hostile scoring and total scoring is rough for the higher ops (49+). These events will maybe take all day

[fallow swift]

And no really reward 🙈

[frosty stirrup]

I know that this is saying a lot, but I would nominate Hailing Frequences SMS as the dumbest (not the worst) STFC event ever

[formal musk]

Changing the milestones on this is kinda BS. Before, max pulling syndicate rep with a mantis would get 2 milestones (3 pulls in two days, so pulling right at reset). With this run, it'll only be the first milestone for the same work. Just an overall feel-bad event setup. I don't expect to hit all milestones without buying packs, but only getting the first milestone is rough.

[urban moth]

Can we talk about this?

The math doesn't work for buying the elite FKR tokens. Why would I buy a PRIME to improve something that apparently was designed to suck?

[sinful heart]

Ding ding ding!!!! Tell the man what he won!

[sinful heart]

Oh, they lowered the ult tokens in some of the pay packs as well. Really trying to kill the game aren’t they 🤨😋

[sand lintel]

at least its universal lovehate... hitting all the different types of players on their specific pain points... 🙂 we can definitely say they havent just gone after one type of player... 🙂

[vagrant topaz]

Using a prime to fix garbage isnt fixing the problem!

[soft agate]

Plus still garbage

[vagrant topaz]

This would only be tolerable if it was limited to your same level. So lame to show up to a system just to have the level 60s pound everyone apart and show off how much $ they’ve wasted on this game.

[urban moth]

Scopely just wants you to know you could be better than you are. For a measly $20,000 spent in game, you too can pick on players that have no chance of winning against you.

[worn shadow]

@icy cairn No one going to buy the Borgs Bek. My server is Dead quiet because of the PVP event. I think everyone is shield up until it is over. 😪

[marble sierra]

ppl just smacking allies for pts. same stuff tomorrow for plunder event .. has that been fixed actually ?

[worn shadow]

Why? The reward for the event is Nothing!

[merry raft]

The hailing frequencies events are all pointless. In fact, the new graphic button generator thing is a waste of coding. Remove. Reduce. Eliminate.

[worn shadow]

Not if they let us add custom Graphic! 🤔

[merry raft]

Also, what's with the random refit rewards? I've got several and need just a couple more in the remaining ones, not 10. Buying that option would also be a waste!

[final pendant]

I dont want to see phallics when I'm doing pvp

[urban moth]

You could just report inappropriate content like we can with chat in game... oh wait. Forgot, those reports go into a black hole.

[final pendant]

Yea. That's the problem.

[forest spear]

My server is still a wasteland.
Chats are dead, systems are empty, nobody is playing because of this mindless pvp event.
This lesson was supposed to have been learned in year 1 of this game.
Did somebody forget to write down what a nightmare that was or is some manager angry at the players for hating his pet idea and now wants to punish us?
Either way this sucks.

[sage steeple]

It's a shame that as someone who did not purchase any valentine's day packs, I am unable to afford the tribble avatar.

[urban moth]

You're actually the lucky one. Those of us that purchased were locked into a ridiculous variant of faction hunt.

[sage steeple]

Ouch. Well, this months arc hasn't been a shining success. Maybe next time.

[radiant flint]

Really 😏 after finishing all the events I was given totems for I can’t even buy this🙈💩

[lime mortar]

If they're going to have us waste our time on the Valentine's event, at least give us enough horga'hn to get the stupid tribble.

[chilly cobalt]

<@&509690795536941056> 3 away team events in a row is not optimal

[scarlet parrot]

Very disappointed with the recruitathon SLB rewards - this is not the way to drain all those hoarded ultra tokens out of the community. I was really looking forward to this SLB, and now I'm going to do just enough for the Unimatrix SMS and leave it there.

[tight elbow]

100 dollar solutions to free problems

[stoic ferry]

Hailing Frequencies Open - ALB was Not Good. *** No Points for being Killed. *** High levels 40+ farming the rest of us for points. Most of them Did Not Contribute *2 Turas or some low hanging fruit to be killed. Don 't even get a chance to wave and go kill someone your level. BIG ON YOU AND KILL YOIU. Resorted to stealth to get my kills.

[worn shadow]

PVP needs to have a Big penalty losing a Huge Reward for the winner. As of now, people are only interested in getting the event done, no one is playing the game!

[cold quiver]

Honest feedback. This event sucks.

[vagrant topaz]

Would be great if they did surveys on here when there are these events that are so controversial. Would at least put it in a clear perspective of how many people are for it and how many against

[shell horizon]

This arc is trash.
Actually made me want to quit cold turkey this morning. I don't understand why they wouldn't give us the Tribble emote after 3 days of grinding. These FOMO tactics are subtle like a freight train and are honestly sucking ALL the fun from the game, trying to hang out with a friend when all they do is ask for money. 🙄

[limpid galleon]

word.
nobody needs this ugly frame. and that we can't get the tribble is really the cream on the top of all the rubbish they're pulling off this arc -.-

[exotic cipher]

Baby don’t be that way 💔

[manic estuary]

I have to be honest, my biggest problem with this galactic pvp isn't doing events or dailies, I've always completed them even during major wars, My problem is the way it empowers the biggest jerks on the server! Oh wait! I guess that's the idea

[half flare]

“Buy this prime” is not an event. If you want a paid only event, make it “buy any three primes” so you can have more than a single milestone.

[lunar light]

THE VDay events are pointless. After all the work you cant even get the tribble hailing frequency which is truly the only "reward". The rest of the rewards are just garbage. Dont waste your time doing this event because you get nothing in the end

[viscid phoenix]

An emoji is a better reward than officer shards?

[lunar light]

yup .... because all of those shards are easily sourced elsewhere .... but i recognize this could be a matter of opinion. all the more reason the emoji should be available with our points rather than making it a pay feature. then people can choose which reward is best for them

[vernal isle]

But it IS an event, it’s the “hoooooly crap we are losing money on bad content, whodathunkit” event.

[elfin sentinel]

Today's Valentines event seems disproportionate. The effort required seems significantly higher than the rewards gained. For an ops32 needing about 100 lvl36 klingon kills for a couple hundred event tokens?

[opal kiln]

You should see the whale bracket. 40 54 hostiles to complete

[half flare]

As a 42 who had to kill 5 level 49s I would agree.

[opal kiln]

Bev skinny mudd khan. Easy money

[mighty star]

Scopely teaches us Love costs $100

[lofty jewel]

After finishing all the events and buying the $20 pack for an extra 90 Horga'hn carved currency, you still can't get it

[warm juniper]

The idea to having that scares me. Keep it 🤣

[eager hatch]

I'll be glad when these PVP events are over I hate them making it nearly impossible to do dailies or anything else .

[strong gazelle]

Looking at the math again and the bonus points we got, I am betting there were supposed to be points in the third slot of the meta and someone forgot

[crisp solstice]

<@&509690795536941056> is there any reason why the syndicate advancement event is 50% more this month?
i mean killing 450 hostiles in 24 hours WHILE in a server-wide PVP is one thing... but this seems a bit much

[craggy elm]

While Borg Queen and Borg Gossa are getting a little extra firepower to their below deck abilities there are other severe issues like the ultra weak Explorer Strike Teams ain't getting fixed for months!

[outer pivot]

This Valentine store is really a bad joke. I was happy to see the refits option as I'm missing just a few shards of one red skin. Then I realized that contrary to usual case, this time I can't choose which skin to take. It's random - and what's worse, half of the store are skins I already have so high chance to simply waste the tokens getting useless crap 🤬

[sick hornet]

Refit rewards were trash. I pretty much only got ent-d skins which I already have so that was a complete waste of time

[left matrix]

just sad we're 106 short to purchase the tribble valentine emote

[woven tulip]

i'm more sad about this, forever stuck in my inv 😄

[rustic plover]

I managed to get the points for valentine tribble. Purchased in event store. But it’s not appeared in my avatar list

[woven tulip]

its not an avatar, its a ship emote

[spark cypress]

Noo.. losers need to have a reason to turn up. Rewards for both winning and losing should be decent. Alot of players dont have a chance to win most of these.. and pvp gets rubbish real quick if everyones ships are at home in shielded bases for the duration

[hoary pike]

Only 5hrs 40 until normal service resumes 🤣

[raven marsh]

and then they will start another PvP Event. But now it will not last only 2 Days, they will expand it to 7 Days. 😂 😂

[hoary pike]

https://tenor.com/view/no-god-please-no-nooooo-no-please-no-no-god-no-gif-26334009

[rustic plover]

Ah lol, so I wasted my tokens then. Damn…

[raven marsh]

👎 i just did the Event because i want that cool Tribble Emote. 😦

[merry raft]

I know the syndicate advancement event is heroic. But you've pushed even the first milestone behind a pay wall now. Stop feeding only the credit card warriors!

[foggy iron]

48 hour pvp event for an incursions substitute is a terrible event

[nimble cradle]

<@&509690795536941056> can I borrow your 💳 's for all these Pay2win events you are ramming down our throats

[raven garnet]

Agreed. Agreed.

[slow tide]

Free2Play is Dead

[nimble cradle]

it's a minimum spend £1000 per month game now

[half flare]

How engaged of a player I am (s41) and how engaged I am during this pvp event (killed one hostile in my home system to prove I’m not scrolled down). I was happy to do the system-specific pvp event as you can see with the 48 who sent a bunch of corvettes to the PvP system (yawn, but completed). I do enjoy the Risa event when people are in the system. 4 cloaked kills for final milestone feels about right.

[shell horizon]

@icy cairn
So yeah, basically if you all cant fix the tribble emote.... that will be me quitting.

I and most others personally could care less about the people who will ALWAYS complain about new officers. Tbh, its absurd that you all only realize how broken your officers are AFTER the complaints come in. Then halfway through events you change products that people HAD to purchase. No one has them unlocked becuase of the VERY awful way you all choose to run the event store.

Please fix the tribble reward, its the LEAST you can do to make this Valentines event not a complete and total slap in our faces.

[crisp solstice]

It is a bigger milestone all over

[rancid marten]

Just a thought, but next time instead of it just being a free for all. How about you designate systems in each area as safe zones for mining/hunting NPCs and all other areas being open to pvp. Would be a handful or two of systems that are safe and all others free fire.

[nimble cradle]

That's up to you own servers RoE

[woven tulip]

quitting over an emote thats 0% impact on the game. Sounds about right good luck 🙂

[strong gazelle]

Yeah and on our server the bigs decided that it should be Purge day, so not a fan. Can't do anything if the big boys disagree in a game where pay is the way

[dim hare]

LOL to all the players that spend thousands leveling up pvp crews only to find them worthless now with Strike teams lol ... SCOPLEY Pay to play wins again... get those cards out boys!

[high aurora]

So now it’s whoever clicks first?…,come on @wanton copper @icy cairn . This is stupid. Seriously, a game that has lag that has an event that requires you to click before someone else just to score

[woven tulip]

As much i want this, i would prefer a borg officer to go in line with the borg arc 😐 5/11 would be a good choice

[hard sentinel]

Seriously, why are ops 42 and ops 49 in the same bracket for pvp? My 2mil talios flies into system and runs face first into a 16mil level 49. This needs to stop. We've been asking for years to tighten the pvp brackets and we are ignored.

[hoary pike]

So many repair speed ups about to be wasted

[keen lance]

que evento mais Panaka Vidar PvP

[high aurora]

Not engaging in the terrible pvp event until the attacker condition is removed. It pretty much guarantees you won’t score points if someone has less latency than you, even if you win. Stop giving people reasons to not engage in content

[soft temple]

@wanton copper @icy cairn so the FC Champion - SLB now has Odo shards in the rewards. How is that fair to anyone who participated in the first SLB and there was no indication the rewards would change? I spent everything I had in the first SLB and I am 80 shards away from unlocking Odo.

[woven tulip]

its an alliance event not a solo event

[dim hare]

Why are you complaining, he is only 7 levels higher then you... Try being 13 levels lower.... bake a pie eat a pie... Scopley does have in games fixes for the level discrepancy issue. You can find it under OFFERS

[woven tulip]

14 Players do x1 Epic solo, and event is done in less then 1 day

[rancid marten]

Try being hit by someone 23 levels above you. Might as well just turn your ship’s thruster toward them and let them have their way with your ship.

[manic estuary]

I'm with the earlier post , skip pvp until that must be attacker crap is out

[woven grove]

This. The fact that an Ops60 with a 400mil Ent D can have their way with the poor lvl42 sap with a 6mil Kelvin as their best ship is asinine. Banding needs tightened, BADLY. Sure, there's practically no gain for hitting that far down, but people do it because jerks do exist.
This kind of banding does not encourage spending...it encourages quitting, because nothing gets fixed when it very much continues being a problem. And we all know you have g6 in the works...please fix the banding before you leave it where Ops70 can hit 46s.

[pseudo stump]

@icy cairn can we get the devs to consider giving more points for losses in these PvP events. My talios is not going to win any battles and it takes 23 losses to do the event. It’s not fun at all

[hoary pike]

@icy cairn is there a way of knowing which officers are “able bodied” for the annihilate or assimilate event!

[crisp temple]

I also spent all my rss on it and thought I didn’t receive ODO shards from last event, so they changed rewards, hmm…

[north mirage]

I had been purposefully stockpiling my command center and officer RSS for the event and blew it all on the first round. Would have been nice to have Odo, or have any indication that the first round was meaningless in comparison. Don't even know why I try planning for events when we have half of the information needed to do it.

[mellow summit]

Feb events starts with PVP. Then PVP. Followed by PVP and PVP. Finally some PVP. March can't come soon enough. #SoUncivilized.

[meager sigil]

@icy cairn , @wanton copper I wonder what the programmers and designers were smoking! How do you do that ?? Idiot Talios PvP , who bought a lot of Packages again without a scratch have done with the event.

Normal Vidar PvP has at least similar conditions but I know it's hard to grasp! 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

[frosty stirrup]

You realize that’s what we get when the devs don’t play the game and “test” things like this in their sandbox with unlimited resources.

[dim hare]

agreed - I always tell them to invest in windex so they can wipe me off their windshields lol

[eternal lintel]

Seems dumb to be having slb/sms events to source Strike Team officers who aren’t even part of the arc, instead of, idk, the Borg officers who were released this arc 🤦‍♀️

[harsh ocean]

Curious are you going to give me credit towards the spend event in the store for all the money I have already spent this arc. 🍿

[heavy escarp]

What is the webstore event?

[pallid sand]

Buy enough pack and get a bonus

[toxic sinew]

Yay /s

[harsh ocean]

event for spending in the web store. spend x dollars and get points towards Sisko shards and store credits (this month). but having it after everyone has already purchased ships and officers is just a shameless cash grab. But this is scopely so I don't expect anything more.

[shell horizon]

Why on earth would I continue to play a game that intentionally wastes my time for negligible enjoyment?

Thanks though, very glad to hear your perspective on how much value the aesthetics of this game have to you. I really do appreciate all the hard work you put into your response to my concerns regarding the rewards of the valentine's event. 😄
Do have a great day!

[high aurora]

If you want to make some money you should put those special Faction Packs back in the store. The current offerings are not motivating enough for most people to spend $

[glacial flame]

I don't come here often, but each time I do I am shocked by the complaints about changes to SLB rewards etc

Have you lot not been playing long enough to realise that Scopely don't care?

Events are changed on a whim if there is a chance that the change brings in more money

I can only imagine what their Discord mouthpieces have been offered for the role knowing in advance that they are being thrown to the wolves

[craggy gull]

What bonus is there

[pallid sand]

Some sisko shards

[viscid phoenix]

They’ve obviously not been selling the expected amount of packs this month. Increasing the buffs on the officers and adding the web store event is clearly to spur sales.

[tough flare]

Greetings, @icy cairn @wanton copper , can you check the "Annihilate or Assimilate - AMS" event, if my math is correct, I would need to kill 6000 lvl 33 borg probes to complete?!?!?! Won't be doing any armadas because I have to choose if I upgrade Talios or go for directives (can't do both....) so that would mean 6000 borg probes over 72h. Haven't counted how many borg probes I can kill/1directive but let's assume 100, how many directives I would need to finish this??

[craggy gull]

That’s an allaince event.. not SMS

[tough flare]

thanks for the clarification

[lethal dock]

Do not do Expansion Cubes, you will need to be 500 to open a chest

[humble sleet]

Vi’Dar-T PVP event seems to be another SMS displaying how out of touch the devs are.
Unlike the original Vi’Dar the “T” is OP’s gated, meaning no matter what it’s an event that cannot be effectively participated in, as the majority of the time it’s going to be an automatic win for higher Tier (Aka OP’s) Vi’Dar-T’s.

Having to die 20+ times to complete the SMS does make for an enjoyable event, it’s just another annoying grind.

Removing the OP’s gating from the Vi’Dar-T would atleast make it a more competitive event, and it would actually encourage $$ from the players as there would be a reason to consider buying the Probe packs in the store.

[rugged delta]

I missed this detail. Thanks for the heads up. 😠 Scopely.

[rugged delta]

You have to have an alliance with 14 players all able to do and win epic solos, so yeah. Still bad.

[lethal jasper]

Still waiting on a fix for this... can't possibly be that Scopely would short us 106 credits on purpose... right? No Tribble Avatar this V-Day AND the Tribble hail just out of reach... 🥺

[autumn wadi]

Stop making the ore ticket event always the power gain one! Mix it up! 😡

[hasty wedge]

@wanton copper@icy cairnThis issue please. Send a chest or something for the missing 106 currency. We all could not do 2 events in first day.

[autumn wadi]

I worked out on day 1 that f2p wasn't gonna get enough currency for the tribble so I spent it on recruits during the recruit event. Handing out extra currency now would irritate people who did the math. There is no winning here, scopely just fail to plan, again.

[visual anchor]

To be fair, Scopely probably didn’t expect anyone to spend all that on a goofy frame. Either that, or it was bait to see who would buy packs in order to get it.

[gritty mason]

▫️Gul Dukat SLB & SMS "A True Victory" - Feb 18-19th
Please, will this be a spend mats event or a power up event? Thank you!

[white bramble]

Mat spend

[gritty mason]

Thank you!

[ember kelp]

Hopefully everyone is stocked up.

Mat Spend SMS/SLB 18-19
Mat Spend SMS: 20
Mat Spend SMS/SLB: 25-26

[tight elbow]

Really bad event. Been trying to complete it for 4 hours. Just no one coming into the system

[gritty turret]

Everyone has blown off all there pvp steam...

[manic estuary]

Really weird things being reported, instant warps, instant node drains, miracle pvp wins

[turbid hamlet]

Why does the Annihilate & Assimilate mention Borg Probes 35-60. I don't see a System with Borg 35???

[humble sleet]

New systems down near the purple exchange space

[turbid hamlet]

The lowest one in those Hubs is 36, no 35?

[humble sleet]

Not sure on 35 specifically, could be typo

[viscid basin]

I think I got the wrong event

[vivid vault]

nar "working as intended" Heroic just means Credit card spend event

[viscid basin]

Yeah I was wondering how I was supposed to get anywhere near that when I only get 150 a pop.

[sweet valve]

They inflated the goals this time around just to pour salt on the wound.

[summer barn]

For valentines, we got only heartbroken 💔

[north lance]

Rewards for this event [Recruit-a-thon SLB] are extremely sub-par. Only bothered to complete the SMS.
Still saving my Ultras till these events come back with better rewards. (ie. Full-Officer pulls, etc.)

[proper cipher]

why scope you added epic odo to FC slb this week when not last week...sneaky!

[inner thunder]

What is the point of telling us which events you are going to run, and then you don’t run them? For example “Plunders of War”

[exotic cipher]

@icy cairn did the second run of Plunders get rescheduled? I don’t have it in-game.

[white bramble]

Cancelled. Replaced by Talios/Vidar PvP

[fringe lake]

It's better to just give up and be surprised every day at event reset. With no expectation of upcoming events, there's no disappointment when scopes screws the pooch and changes stuff around.

[shell horizon]

If they gave everyone enough for another recruit box it would be a fix.
Everyone who didnt wait gets another recruit or refit pull.

And those of us who are STILL WAITING, can move on. @icy cairn
Please dont ignore this, like a tree or something. 👀 Lol. 🍃

[maiden patio]

Plan for everything and expect nothing 😂🥂

[tardy widget]

A way to give feedback on specific events. Thumbs up/down on a given event view. If you care at all, it would probably be a better metric than looking at participation. Many of us will do events we don't like to get the rewards, but some of them are just awful.

[meager sigil]

Scopely has given a way to feedbek about events or the whole game but apparently no one cares what we put in there. I don't see a single reaction. I think it is a great pity. So more players will just delete the game and look for another game. I'm already on the search. 🤣😂

[neat oriole]

You should probably look at the points needed to progress in this event. Even doing syndicate(400),daily (500) and double Mantis pulls(3800), I was unable to even reach the 1st milestone.

[novel mango]

They want you to spend money.

[neat oriole]

Maybe this type of event could be labeled with $$$, so players will know not to waste any of their game time trying to complete any of it.

[golden mason]

Scopley only wants your money. Lord God was my level a month ago, he's now over 50, spend thousands to be to player.

[vernal isle]

It is and always has been a spending event. Buy packs or ignore it, those are your options. They even made this one harder because people were able to reach the second or even third milestone lately with careful planning of refines through mantis store and such.

Much like the multi-day event where the only scoring and goal was to buy an underwhelming prime.

[clever nest]

Whhhhhy are 53s and 50s in the same auction....?

[subtle oracle]

greeting 113 server is no longer adding points atm thanks please a request to be looked in to sure its same for other servers

[royal bramble]

Dukat event is pathetic. Put him back in the store, some of us are ready to pay the extortion fees to be able to be competitive.

[hasty wedge]

not so happy to spend over 5mil in mats to get 12 shards of dukat. The rewards have been going down arc by arc now

[royal bramble]

Yeah I can’t spend enough to get the 36 shards I need. Absolute and utter stupidity.

[oblique ore]

The Dukat Spent SMS dont work correct. Spent almost 3k uc 4* ressources and got no points
@wanton copper @icy cairn

[rotund temple]

Jem'hadar solo armadas not counting for "A True Victory" SMS even though it says regular solo armadas count ?!🤬@queen kindle

[meager sigil]

@wanton copper , @icy cairn What are we supposed to do with Dukat Schards in a Borg Arc? Maybe Borg Offizer Schard would be the most appropriate! Who was the intelligent one again who thought it up??? It's very embarrassing!
Congratulations Scopely! 🤦🏻

[rotund temple]

@queen kindle Apparently Borg Solo armadas also don't count for "A True Victory" WTF !!!

[proven hill]

uhm.. big fat nope

[craggy urchin]

Severely subpar.
Events this month are already poorly planned. This auction was added to try and appease players. Why was it added in a form that makes it feel like players are being punished for asking for it.

[rotund temple]

what did you hit to get pts because Cardy armadas don't count either

[craggy urchin]

I took a mayflower up two tiers to max it, and upgraded two components on a meridian to max it...figured it would be worth at least a milestone took another look at the point requirements when it didn't... Don't even know why I bother anymore 😂

[rotund temple]

Yeah Scopely's doing their best to get players to quit lol

[craggy urchin]

I don't know that they are full on trying to get players to quit. But they def need to do a little better. I get that the game is supposed to be difficult/a grind but there does seem to be a very real notion that as people go up in level they will have more time to play and therefore more resources etc. from grinding. That's just wrong, the time I have to play is the time I have and it doesn't change because I go up in ops level. Game was totally manageable at ops 35, now at ops 42 its an over bloated experience that demands more time than it deserves to make miniscule progress.

[vernal isle]

Because if you aren’t spending they give zero cares for you, and spenders don’t ask for more, they just buy it.

[proven hill]

I don't think it's an ops level thing.. I just think they keep on adding bloat / grind. There's a definitely cut off when they add events (basically ops35) but with Solo Armadas (x2) / Mantis / Dominion / Borg / Swarm / Exchange / Faction grind ... I'm now spending a silly amount of time to get everything done. That half-assed 2 day PvP event was actually a relief.. I bubbled and did something else.

[shrewd herald]

No points for Solo-Armadas so far 😦

[white bramble]

What solo armadas did you do?

[woven tulip]

thats not enough events, we need more and more and more stuff to do 😄

[white bramble]

Only Rare and Epic Bajoran count

[shrewd herald]

cardassian rare and epic.
borg only rare.
not a single point

[white bramble]

Borg don’t count. Cardissian count

[finite glade]

I finally received a response regarding this event, where Scopely stated the following: "Commanders, We congratulate you for completing all Valentine's events that ended recently! We understand that you wanted to purchase the new Hailing Frequency from the event store. For you to be able to do so, it's intended that you needed to complete more sub-events than usual for you to earn more credits."
So they specifically stated I completed ALL events, but in order to get it, I needed to do MORE than all of them. There is no where in any of the event that states you need to do this, but official word is that it's a cash-only item. Also, nice of them to reply after the event store is closed and I can no longer redeem any currency. I hope everyone complains about this, it wouldn't be as bad if they clearly said you had to BUY more currency in order to get it.

[summer barn]

Thanks for sharing. normally if you are quick enough to claim the gifts, you can grab an extra before the gifts expire. this time the totem was limited to 3 and vanished afterwards. Im glad I at least bought some skins

[finite glade]

Even if it was a matter of being able to gain a 4th gift, that's exceedingly poor design. In order to get the prize, you have to exploit the system? I shouldn't be surprised, but good god, make it clear what the maximum available would be if you complete all the events. This may not even be much of an issue if the regular day to day game wasn't so fraught with errors. There's no way to know if it's intentional or not.

[frosty stirrup]

Shhh. Keep this up and they will give us a Starbase Assault event . . . 🤣

[inner thunder]

Obviously Scopely cares about us. Their response to our complaints is deafening

[lethal jasper]

Disgusting

[trim gazelle]

@wanton copper can we please revisit the 50x limited on the event store loot options? 9 days left and I'm almost out of pulls (of everything)

[austere vigil]

Not getting any rewards from this.

[tight elbow]

Hit a borg probe

[rustic leaf]

Sooooo this arc is bad, like really bad. I mean I thought the Feesha arc was bad, but this one is WAY worse. The Talos doesn’t get boost from the excoms that came out last arc. So a T3 Talos, crewed appropriately can grind like 400-500k probes, but if I excom my T9 Vidar can get me 1.2-1.3mil in that same time… why do I have a Talos then? At what level is it supposed to be good? Also … I had the prime that gave me 3 probe chest pulls and that option disappeared with the talos, now I can only pull two chest which is less charged probes? This arc failed. The only thing the talos is good for is expansion cubes, but I need to grind nearly 6000 UC sphere armadas in order to open one expansion cube chest. And the rewards SUCK. I honestly have stopped even trying to get enough directives to attempt one. Talk about an entirely wasted feature.

The event store is a hot pile of garbage. And the event rewards are …. Well lazy.

The thing I’m supposed to want to try for are these emoticons for hailing frequency, but honestly I never wanted hauling frequencies as a thing so that means nothing to me. This is the first arc I have actually spent $0 and I’m very happy with that move. Last month I dropped like $650 alone … I hope your realize what a failure this month was. You’re clearly hemorrhaging players and money form it.

[tight elbow]

To correct a few things: the 3rd refine option was not from the refinery output prime, that was given to all players for free as a catch up mechanic. Trading part of your soul in exchange to max vidar a lit faster, to get access to free vidar t.

The refinery output prime still works on the vidar t refinery.

I agree the vidar t out of the box is a pile of p00p relative to reg vidar with exos. The refinery does output more credits though, and is useful for getting g4 rare and epic ships, and beyond.

I don't really do borg solo armadas much so I can't rely on the exos. In that sense using 2 tokens with vidar t in the lvl 36 system is faster than non exo vidar in 33s.

Expansion cubes are p00p. They added to the grind. Those are the worst parts of it for me.

Scopely in December 2022: were going to reduce the grind
Scopely in January 2023: sike

[white bramble]

You need to score towards it to get the rewards

[fringe tree]

@white bramble

Is this still happening on the 20th?

Recruit the Assimilation Crew - SMS (Level 25+ Solo Milestone)
Feb 9, Feb 20
The Borg are extremely dangerous and yet very predictable. They become docile once you disconnect them from one of their unimatrices.
Who knows what one of these drones will do aboard your ship. Whatever you do, don't let them near your warp core.
Recruit the Assimilation crew by spending materials and Rare/Epic Directives.
▪️

[white bramble]

Yep

[fringe tree]

Cool 😎 thanks 🙏

[sullen lily]

I stopped spending because how dumb it's getting. Seriously. Why the hell does it take hours appon hours to do the events.

[cold quiver]

Working as intended. Basically it’s your fault you put in all the work and Scopley has no responsibility to tell you beforehand or even care that their crap event planning/cash grab scheming sucks the fun out of the game.

[cold quiver]

The work/reward ratio is way off.

[marble sierra]

regulars dont. rare and epic might

[onyx steeple]

Slb brackets seem to be out of order. I’m ops 39 having to compete with ops 40-43. they have 4* economy where as I’m stuck with 3* rss.

Make a cut between 39 and 40!

[solar gate]

Scopely screwed up again but who cares about NEW PLAYERS RIGHT?

[frosty stirrup]

<@&509690795536941056> So once again we have another example of $coply just lying when we are told that our comments mean anything and they you all are trying to reduce screen time. Today we have been blessed with Swarm Grind, Probe Grind, Solo Borg Armada Grind, Eclipse Grind, Battleship Grind and Explorer Grind. Are you really surprised that the vast majority of reviews you're getting on Google Play and in the Apple Star are 1*?????????????? This is 💩

[sharp helm]

dude, I'm ops 28 and need to compete with a similar ops

[novel mango]

Some events not scoring, massive lag.

[warm juniper]

And again no interceptor special in the store 👍

[frosty stirrup]

@icy cairn @wanton copper do you drop this garbage on us on Sundays when nobody at $copley is working so you can make believe it's not happening??????????????????

[novel mango]

Show your strength not scoring.

[sonic robin]

Would be nice if grind events went lvie on friday, not sunday and if scopely actually reduced the damn grinding events

[frosty stirrup]

Would be nice if $copley stopped lying about reducing screen time

[gentle trench]

only getting 5mil per rare for sms

[mental helm]

This is getting ridiculous. Why schedule everything on the same day? We have to kill:

1. Rogue hostiles/armadas
2. Battleships with interceptors
3. Explorers with battleships
4. Anomalous Phenomena
5. Borg Probes
6. Swarm

It would be fine if the milestones were such that they can be completed while doing normal dailies, but you have to kill at least double or more (and of the right ship type too) to complete, assuming you even have a ship strong enough of that type to kill the faction hostiles that you need.

This is BS. It’s days like these I contemplate quitting the game because it’s just way too much to do and I don’t have the time. If you’re going to stack so many events together, at least make them 48 or 72 hours (without a corresponding increase in the milestones) so we have more flexibility to work them into our day.

[sonic robin]

absolutely, I can't recall an arc with this many damned grind events in ages and why set them all on sunday too....

[tight elbow]

Eat, sleep, stfc, repeat

[sonic robin]

If they actually expect us to do all this crap they better pay us a wage

[frosty stirrup]

You already pay to be a beta tester. So don’t think $copley will ever be giving us anything for this nonsense

[woven tulip]

This is not enough events we need more 😄 , you dont have to complete 100% of every event, every loop. every daily, every grind. You play your way, if theirs to much thats a personal problem not a problem with the game

[modern creek]

The server lag is insane. How this company stays in business is beyond me.

[shut geode]

Scopely does always make Stella events at Sundays. Very bad idea, there aren't enough Stella zones on normal days. During events, 1 trillion players fight over every hostile and armada

[shut geode]

When you go lower levels zonss, gives not enough points. What you get all players go to the 2 level 40 zones.. 31 gives 1 mil points, 39/40 11 mil points. At level 44 you need 281 mil points.. 31 hostile ships, is than not option..

[limber marsh]

Game is unplayable with this lag today, this game is not beta, it's alpha, every beta test I played in past was better

[frail bridge]

Any one else noticed that exchange giving same points no matter how much damage your doing I have hue on the bottom of one of my ship and no Crit on the other there getting the same points for same level

[queen kindle]

Hull damage is the scoring parameter so that makes sense, right?

[rustic plover]

Armada circles are not visible, game is not playable

[sonic coral]

Can you please add more rogue exchange hostiles please. There aren’t enough to go around.

[icy marsh]

echo the same point...there's not a lot of good options to pull in this event store. no bps, no syndicate xp, no officers besides the rng borg ones...usually they at least bring officers from the arc like hugh in event stores

[prime nebula]

Maybe it's more appropriate here.

The new stella assimilated skins for what it gives should be "permanent" (like some projectile). But this is not described as such. I checked for example particle cost in research with the skin on or off and it doesn't change.
For the specific event also I hVe the impression it does not change.
Can I be certain it is applied as I unlocked it?

[white bramble]

It’s applied once unlocked like all the other skins/projectiles

[prime nebula]

Thanks. With so many bugs around I wanted to be sure as usually it is in the description (like triskelion projectile for example) but in this case not 😉

[white bramble]

Interesting 🧐 it’s usually never in the description

[prime nebula]

Double interesting. Now it appear also in Stella skin. Maybe I'm getting too old

[white bramble]

Oh that button. Yeah that’s on all of them 😬😬😬

[white bramble]

👀

[uncut cloud]

What is "a HF?"

[sterile yew]

Same question lol

[primal juniper]

hailing frequency

[novel mango]

Man stop with all the armadas events, no I am not going to buy directives.

[uncut cloud]

Thank you! I forget that's a thing when I don't use them a lot.

[primal juniper]

Had to turn mine back on in settings LOL

[shut geode]

3 days of Stella event is pure torment and Scopely way to irritating players. we all saying for months: MORE STELLA ZONES ARE NEEDED IT

[toxic vortex]

<@&509690795536941056> one who is many pt2 isn't scoring or there's serious lag

[dark pine]

It’s a tricky one, had to look it up on IMDb, not the obvious answer

[shut geode]

How can you do Stella events, when 1 trillion players fighting for each hostile.. scopely made it, way that all players need go do two zones.. a others zones gives no points

[granite nymph]

It is my opinion when you have a multi day multipart quiz event that you should put all the events in a collective sub tab so as not to clutter up main events page. So after we spend the few minutes to complete the new quiz events they will be cluttering up the main events page for 3 days?

[fading venture]

Do we have enough armada events today Scopley? I think theres room for 1 or 2 more.

[quartz arrow]

A streaming show, is not considered a televised show, and Enterprise never had borg queen show up.

[uncut cloud]

She was in that show as a different character.

[glass pewter]

<@&509690795536941056> I am not sure who is planning events, but they have no concept of how the game works. After a 2 days spend SLB, running a spend SMS, to again run a spend SLB the following weekend. How about a little planning on the event calendar.

[granite nymph]

It also doesn’t make sense that after having us run around using hailing frequencies the award is an avatar rather than a new hailing frequency icon

[fading venture]

The event is a tribute to the actress who died, she played the Borg Queen in Picard season 2 so the avatar makes sense. She also played a character in the Enterprise Season 1 Episode Oasis, she was the little girl stranded on the planet with all the holograms. Enterprise was her first Trek role back in 2002. Scopely actually did something nice here and tried to honor her roles and contributions.

[woven tulip]

Archer's Entreprise? They didnt have holograms did they?

[fading venture]

On the NX-01 no, but the "story of the week" was that they found a derelict ship crashed on the surface of the planet, they went down to try and salvage some material and found the crew still "alive" it was later revealed that the girl played by Anne and her father played by Renee (Odo) were the only survivors and that her father had recreated the rest of the crew as holograms so she wouldn't grow up alone.

[slender current]

As per usual: Solo armadas aren't scoring in the solo armada event

[woven tulip]

😮 i rem now that was her? wow

[arctic bramble]

Fibble is NOT Star Trek Picard $copely!!! Don'T you know YOUR Star Trek? It's B! Star Trek Picard "Penance" Pretty sure Annie is very disappointed in her grave right now! Horrible trivia mistake! Should be Sohkia, NOT Fibble!

[fading venture]

See my previous post. If you read the question fully it says which episode of Star Trek, not specifically Picard.

[arctic bramble]

Belay that, lol I misread the question. Hahaha Got a little too excited about this trivia. Oasis was a good episode.

[frosty stirrup]

The event runner obviously doesn’t play ( the devs sandbox doesn’t count) and doesn’t consult anyone who is actually in the game

[manic estuary]

Nice of you to spotlight Annie

[patent river]

Yay mostly armada synergy...

[steep prism]

I think the event planner misread feedback and yalls 2023 plan. They obviously read Moregrind2023 rather than LESS.

This weekend was filled with events asking us to grind not only borg probes, but also exchange ones. Now today we get MORE exchange grind.

Oh and lets not forget all the armada events that have next to no directive sourcing. Let me be clear, while i do spend on this game i will NEVER spend on armada directives.

So for the 1st day in 8 months, i will shield and not do my events. Who knows maybe i will enjoy my no grind so much i will just walk away all together.

[arctic bramble]

You will need to adapt or you'll be assimilated. 😛😹 🖖

[noble citrus]

I really love these hostile grind use these officers as captain even though they have zero captains ability and their officers ability is for solo armadas events! My favorite!

[arctic bramble]

I agree! I'm out of everything

[elder forge]

100% , i shielded and do nothing today. scopely again does its very best to get rid of players. cheeky events this month

[vapid meteor]

Aramada spend events are dumb. I have all the directives to complete it. Haven’t been able to find one in 30 mins of searching. No challenge, no skill, no fun, just aimlessly searching systems

[dim relic]

For the most part, other than normal gripes I have enjoyed this battlepass, my main issue are the slb events. It seems we are switching the brackets up every month now. These events (wether you are a slender or not) require planning, and I cannot plan, if one month I am in a bracket I can compete with, and the next, even though I stayed the same lvl (42) , I am now competing with lvl 46 players.

Again, I am not complaining about the brackets themselves, I am complaining about them constantly changing. And it is not like I can go back a lvl. 🖖🐒

[trim gazelle]

@wanton copper , @icy cairn

Could you please clarify what happens when we run out of things to buy in the event store? There are limits on every single event store item, and I will have extra currency after maxing out every option.

[white bramble]

Currently there is no more claims unless you ops up and the value of the claims change in which case you get 50 more but what changes at what ops isn’t clear

[white bramble]

We are asking for limits to be upped a bit as they don’t seem to account for SLB wins

[sweet valve]

<@&509690795536941056> Assuming people know what a HF is, is wrong.

[neat oriole]

Hailing Frequency perhaps

[languid ice]

It is hailing frequency. But the smart thing to do would be to spell it out at least once before using an abbreviation.

[patent river]

Upgrade ops and the event store resets...more stuff to click

[fading venture]

Or just stop putting limits on things? You know, what everyone has been asking for for the last 2 years? Pretty sure people are spending less and less every day because the money grabbing is beyond full on display now, its like the Gorilla at the zoo letting it all hang out. Players are leaving the game in droves and we get more content every day that's pay to play, pay to win and at this point pay to even try. I understand they need to make money but my god I would sure spend a hellova lot more if the packs were cheaper and actually had value. You get $20 a month from me for the battle pass if they're lucky and thats it, and by no means its due to lack of funds available.

[trim gazelle]

Thanks for the insight, maybe there will be a spend event I care about later this arc. - not holding breath though

[patent river]

There's a spend sms meow for under borgs

[late totem]

I ops’d up in the middle of this. After clearing off the tc pack and half of away teams. Didn’t reset the limit on either

[white bramble]

Doesn’t always reset, its at certain ops

[raven marsh]

the Starfleet has no Holograms / Holo-Decks in that timeline, thats correct. But some other Species had that Technologie.

[wintry abyss]

Do solos? In don’t understand the complaint here - but if you have been up to date with your bajoran faction and ships you could easily run 5 rares, 2 epics which I did - no spend in pay store for directives / defiant tier 6 and Kohn Ma rep lvl

[arctic bramble]

32$/month over here. And lack of funds for me

[graceful nest]

Error in the execution of the task "Many in one" part 3. Callsigns do not work. Also, in question 2 and 3, the answers are completely the same. This is feedback Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDGPVmN53wYOBob8SXWZvALAQFhAWL5E7

[glacial pawn]

What's this, what's this....an assimilation event and Borg Armada don't score?🤣

[lone dragon]

Isn't something wrong with this picture? since when are rare directives worth more than Epic?

[novel mango]

Well I always find it hard to get rare directives so maybe thats why.

[tight elbow]

@wanton copper @icy cairn dabo style event store is actually pretty neat. Only adjustment I'd suggest is to take more care with the limits next time, as putting more effort in to place higher on slbs only to get locked out of spending your rewards is an extremely bad feeling/outcome

[swift linden]

I went up from 51 to 52 during the incursions (somebody donated about 500B steel, which was exactly what i needed 😈 ), i found out that the rewards reset after that... but after placing high in a few SLB's, im almost out of useful things to spend on again... it would be good if they upped the limit on those.

[vagrant topaz]

What the hell is HF?

[distant steeple]

Hailing Frequency, the new function on your ship.

[vagrant topaz]

Thanks. Why the heck couldn't Scopely write that out? If I didn't have discord I would be royal f*****d right now.

[mellow cobalt]

"function" is an exaggeration right?

[oblique ridge]

I’ve lost count of how many players have asked what HF stands for in alliance chat…

[olive depot]

nah, we need more spend $$$$ events cos they increased salaries on "fix the game day"

[distant steeple]

Gimmick then.

[distant steeple]

It’s been raised with the team, also please don’t try and avoid the bot filter.

[spark cypress]

I think the cardsssian armadas (and swarm to a lesser degree) are great for this type of armada sms and slb.. no need to hunt ds for slow respawns. (And no more wasting directives on the epic burial ship armadas...)

[lyric moth]

Speaking of filters, why is swearing in mission texts ok but we can't write basic names like Walter?

[distant steeple]

Certain words have been banned due to its use in another language (not English). For instance queue in French is slang for the male anatomy part.

[fresh frost]

What do they say when they want to make an orderly line though? 😐

[lyric moth]

I get that, even if I think its excessive. My point was more that why filter swearing in chats but then swear in the mission texts?

[potent oracle]

You spend 200 directives to start a rare, 500 to start an epic. Epic pays out more points either way. I'd assume this is a way to balance out points in the end. It's always been like that

[distant steeple]

Call it a typical British pastime.

[fresh frost]

Sounds like a mouthful... why not just queue? 👀

(totally intentional)

[lyric moth]

In French it's apparently more of a mouthful....

[lyric moth]

But ok, seems Scopely can swear in a PEGI-7 game but we have to stand in an orderly line and not have a name like Walter which may or may not be offensive in some other region or country if taken completely out of context...

[jolly fable]

Someone needs slapped for putting the Battlepass mining event the very next day after the weekly mining event. Like who in whatever team runs the scheduling of events thinks that is good for keeping players engaged or excited to play the game/do the events or hell even just makes the game the least bit fun? Like seriously how hard is it really to schedule these events with at least a buffer of a day or two in between?

[wicked pike]

This whole arc has a pacing problem... today meh just dig some stuff kill some klingons 🤷‍♀️
Sunday? Was it 4 lots of kill a load of different hostiles?
Really need a better design for a more balanced schedule

[tough flare]

Why?? Afraid we were gonna have too much resources? It's not like there is an abundancy of unc and rare rss in this game!! And about OPS lvl to reset, gonna need unc to upgrade, won't we? Guess will stop doing additional events or take a break!

[polar verge]

What is an HF? “use an HF”

[white bramble]

Hailing Frequency

[queen kindle]

I'd wait for them to address this issue before tapering off event effort. We should be hearing back soon on it.

[dark silo]

Is there a scoring issue with todays event (Officer Recruit Events) klingon sms?

[queen kindle]

Where are you hunting?

[tough flare]

don't think so, just finished them. but if it started now..

[tough flare]

thanks, will wait for an official response

[dark silo]

Been killing 55+ klingons and not scoring for me (ovelya)

[queen kindle]

Can you SS one of the hostiles you're killing?

[dark silo]

It has started scoring now

[polar verge]

Thank you

[low flicker]

I'm in the same boat

[hollow pier]

Except the BP mining event is 30m mining maximum... Not really hard work... Bigger issue was having two spend materials events one after the other.

[halcyon fiber]

scopely, cant you be reliable and upfront on event stores? Its hella stupid to expect everyone to wait with their spending and even punish those who spend.

[timid tundra]

There is days I definitely feel this I'm lucky and currently have weekends off and it feels like that's how they base the game around is for people who work Monday through Friday. But there's times I want to do stuff on my weekends and not play STFC all weekend

[tight elbow]

The tech just isn't there yet to be able to avoid issues like this yet. Maybe next time

[halcyon fiber]

wait what? The tech to have everything in the store from the beginning on? The tech to actually think something through?
Dont defend bad design with stuff that doesnt make sense lol

[keen remnant]

8k for a hailing frequency? I need what you're smoking...

[mental monolith]

How is that emote valued more than mats, rss, away teams traits lol. And it’s only an uncommon.

[tribal nimbus]

Gotta be drunk and smoking somethun. 8k for an HF rofl

[wet cosmos]

Don’t forget borg shards. The opportunity cost of getting that hailing emote is losing out on assimilation borg shard chances

[wooden cloak]

it was always like this avatars and craps....200-300k event tokens per frame, now 8k for something you never use in the next month 😄

[inland sonnet]

So I was trying to work out why I hadn’t finished all the Borg missions

Mmm so basically level 39 me has no chance of completing- thanks Scopely for the excellent design and motivation

[mental monolith]

2x main missions =100 + 2x side missions = 50 = 150. Better get going though there is a component to mine 3 mil trit.

[tribal nimbus]

6 ships mining for 2 days man that was a pita

[inland sonnet]

In which case there is an issue registering as the holodeck is empty

[mental monolith]

You on.get offered the 3rd one if you are over ops 50

And they had to mine an additional 5mil trit

[low spire]

The talios events that require spending Charged Nanoprobes have a design flaw: If you already have all the talios research done for your level and you cannot upgrade the Talios because you already have all the parts allowed at your level, how do you score in the event?

[woven tulip]

Not a flaw, these are SLB's (This is 2nd or 3rd run of it, should have saved all yours mats for 1 of them and not try to participate in all 3 ) their not intended to be completed by everyone. You can always upgrade your ops to get a higher tier Tailos 😄

[low spire]

I did that, but when the bracket is the same for ops 35 (that have very limiting options to score) than for lvl 40, you loose due to not being able to spend more charged nanoprobes.

[vocal pawn]

for a borg arc, would be nice to put the regular vidar bps in this event store

[woven tulip]

You get those every week on saturday in the cosmic event store

[vocal pawn]

if you already have 1 the BP option goes away. vidar is a useful ship to have more than 1 IMHO

[woven tulip]

You want x2 Vidar? why?

[queen kindle]

The vidar bps are still there even if you have one, but there is a buy limit on them, and buying them 10x will close it no matter the number you've built.

[tiny cove]

one of the new events (the one with odo in the graphic) isn't loading, just says "Retrieving..." even after app restart on both PC and android. looks like a fleet commander event judging from the rewards.

[novel mango]

Got to love those retrieving events!

[marble sierra]

https://i.imgur.com/1Awl0TD.png what do scopely

[dark pine]

Heavy hitter I think

[mild coyote]

Can't play it anyway with server wide PvP event completely halting non-pvp gameplay... @icy cairn @wanton copper

[novel mango]

@bek @wanton copper could we find out what todays mystery event is?

[timber maple]

After a restart it was there for me. It's heavy hitter. Actian/Borg/Swarm hostiles. Crit damage. and a boost if you bought the new beam.

[marble sierra]

hmm already had a restart will try again

[woeful ledge]

Absolutely nobody likes those PvP Events! Just stop them!

[hard sentinel]

Seconding what JoergH said. These pvp events only appeal to the lowest common denominators of each server that then just ruin the events for everyone else. We asked that they not run anymore because the majority of players do not like them. When is this going to be passed on to the devs?

[crude crescent]

yeah, this pvp everywhere event creates a lot of ill feelings and hate, restrict pvp to special systems

[tiny cove]

i do 👀

[thin yarrow]

This pvp event is rubbish i stop playing the game when its on whats the point cant do any thing 😦

[brisk narwhal]

Dear Scopely. Server wide PVP event is not cool. Please only sanction PVP is specific systems so that we can choose if we want to opt in.

[tribal kindle]

for my current gametime...goodbye STFC...hello hogwarts legacy! 😉

[timid tundra]

@icy cairn @wanton copper Hello STFC crew I want to submit feedback in a better way, I am looking for some understanding for the players for some balance. I am Lvl 25 but im stuck I already struggle with events at my level because I can only get 10 vidar bp’s each week or 10 discovery bp’s each week that equals 20 weeks game play at 25 just to get the ships to do my current leaderboards, if I move up faster I will have access to other ships but then miss out on all the game play at my level.
At this level the envoy is the best miner I have access to and yes with my best crew I can get the power up to 70K but against a level 39 player with a ship power over 6 million you might as well just just let them click to collect points, it makes it less enjoyable for people who want to get to the right level but have to grind for months and put up with consistent harassment without any fun or game mechanics to make it enjoyable.
I get some player Love pvp , I love to opc hunt but there is a reason for that, you can acquire resources faster than mining them, I am not asking for a PVP ban but maybe some threshold to encourage letting people be able to enjoy the game

Just some ideas:
No point for miner that are not OPC
No points for attacking ships with less than 50% or the strength
10 level pvp bands so you are always fighting + / - 5 levels

[vagrant topaz]

Yesss love this new pvp event let’s run this every week plesse! Pvp in app systems no safe spaces!

[clear harbor]

This PVP event is not my idea of fun, but thanks to the team for making it only 24 hours this time instead of 48.

[real gull]

On an active server a system wide PvP event stops action on a lot of the other events. Nice planning. How about PvP events in certain systems? Above level xx systems? Some consideration for players that can't defend against players 5 times the power of your own ships? How about going to the Common Sense Bucket and grabbing a clue?

[hardy knoll]

I thought the store options were raised from 50 limit to 80, but mine still stopped me after 50

[storm mica]

Its so nice to see how feedback of the community is taken into account 🤦‍♂️

[high aurora]

50% improvement. It’s 1 day instead of 2

[woven tulip]

I heard it was 70, but after mine reset it only allowed me to claim 10 more 😐

[marble sierra]

pvp event is horrible. hit people below ur bracket or you are just feeding the competition pts too 😉

[vagrant topaz]

Need to do this pvp event every week! Unlimited pvp accross the whole galaxy!

[queen kindle]

That's always been allowed. Players have structured ROE in order to curtail that kind of behavior and improve their gaming experience. I'd highly recommend that same direction be used for even events. I've seen some servers keep survey ships under protection while pvp events are running.

[timid tundra]

If they coded in no points for survey ship upc it would fix the issue.

[vagrant topaz]

Mining is dangerous the game tells you that at level 10 😂. All these cry babies need to stop trying to change this game and go play a game without pvp

[oblique lynx]

Automodel did not like my message. I fully disagree with big hitters destroying small players during pvp while other events like battle pass are active for which I payed. Not ok

[dark jewel]

Slb was a snoozer the first time so let's repeat it.. good idea scopley... NOT

[proven hill]

look on the bright side.. it encourages players to take the day off and realise that there are other things in life than chasing pixels. Or better games to be chasing pixels in.

[timid tundra]

Its not about crying its about gameplay you make a mobile game people with jobs get a 15 minute break and have to wait 2 hours to the next break or lunch, then they can repair and get mining again its making the game equitable for all players. its sucks warping 10 minutes to a node to get killed in 2 minutes so you make no progress, hence the protected cargo rule.

[vagrant topaz]

Every single day this channel is full of people saying they are quiting the game and cryig as loud and hard as they can. My events are done dispute the pvp event. 1 hour and 30 mins in

[woven tulip]

yep are server does this, miners protected during PVP normal OPC rules apply. Token space still protected regardless of event

[queen kindle]

I wouldn't look to Scopely to fix your issue here. They ran the event again, with very little changes, suggesting that they like how it is. We know that ROE can make it "better" so I'd push your server's leadership to make the moves. And if they aren't interested in making the galaxy a better place, then maybe they aren't the people you want to follow.

[vagrant topaz]

168’s RoE is rarely what I would call “good”, but all miners are still safe UPC, and nobody is crying (except the usual suspects who don’t like me crashing into their stations)

RoE is a player construct that needs to adapt as the game changes; if you change RoE, this event gets a ton more fun.

[vocal pawn]

as a lower level player the vidar is cheap, fast, high cargo and 100% needed for all the borg events espthe solos if you're under 30

[real gull]

or you could end up on a server that is trying to implement the condition that Events overrule ROE. Protected miners? not during a PvP event, no loot no shoot? not during a PvP event

[woven tulip]

when you get higher level you would regret having and upgrading x2 of these

[vagrant topaz]

100%

[vocal pawn]

very possible but as a level camper it's still cheaper than going for a gladius imho. and my vidar is my daily driver for any faction hostiles needing pewpew

[woven grove]

Well, of course it'll be easy to do when you are too low level for anyone to hit. Try being in the Ops bracket where the banding is basically infinite, then come back and try your opinion again. As it stands, the lack of banding at higher Ops is killing the drive to participate in these events, because there's nothing "fair" about having a 31mil Kori slapped down by a 500mil Ent D.

[vagrant topaz]

I’m level 49. Had no problems

[vagrant topaz]

Avoid the players that can kill you. Move to a different system. Don’t be an easy target. You have lots of things you can do to finish these events you just need to be smart and quick.

You have 2 options. 1. You can go get your events done Or 2. you can cry here every single day like others and threaten to quit 😂.

[little saffron]

Repeatedly putting limited time sales in the event store at the end of events is a sleazy, predatory tactic.

[dark jewel]

My point is after 12 or 24 hrs, everyone bubbles and watches their warships. The server goes to sleep as far as pvp. My observation is pvp in a pvp systems let's people play their game and engages the players better.

[vagrant topaz]

Great then you will have no problem doing your events when the server goes to sleep

[steep prism]

Heyyyy yall know what would be a great idea?

Lets run a server wide pvp event while half of everyone is locked out of their accounts and cant shield! Sounds sooooo great 😂

[real gull]

server sure has gone to sleep, lag has my ship sitting ontop of my base but won't dock. been 3 minutes so far, just sitting there. I'll give this event a E- rating

[keen temple]

Great combination of events, that’s why more and more people quit the game 👍

[dark jewel]

I don't have a problem. I don't have many cry babies when I hit their base or clear their floating ships. And I understand you don't share my opinion that engagement drops off when pvp is server wide.

[spare coyote]

This game has soooooo many mining events. Mining Monday. Y’all can suck it up for one fun pvp event. There does need to be a pvp anywhere SMS to pair with the SLB though.

[real gull]

miners that are OPC, bases that aren't shielded, warships floating in space - PvP everyday. Why add on a PvP event when it can happen any time and day?

[vagrant topaz]

Because it’s fun to kill moving warships or miners that are not opl. It’s war and that means anything and everything can die

[real gull]

very one-sided fun. why not play World of Warships/Tanks - it's pure PvP

[vagrant topaz]

Becuase scopley has created this game and pvp is included in it

[oblique ore]

But making all players to cannon fodder for a few pvp junkies make no sense. Its annoying for the most players. Funny for a minority. So let pvp players fight in a limited pvp area and give everybody else the option to stay out is the right way ...

[glossy wasp]

FFA PvP events are absolute garbage

[vagrant topaz]

This is the game scopley created. You can cry about it but it doesn’t change anything. The people enjoying it are playing the game and the cry babies are here whining.

Player made rules is the only thing that stops you from having pvp 24/7 not scopley. Scopley clearly supports war across the galaxy.

You can play this game with player pretend rules to avoid pvp. It it doesn’t change what this game is it only hides it.

[azure canyon]

Every game is made better by the players, no one plays their game like the developers intended it. Mods, or player made rules, always makes games better, imo.

[vagrant topaz]

No games are made by the players lol. Every game you have the game devs rules. If it’s allowed it’s allowed and if it isn’t it’s ban-able that’s how every game works.

Killing miners isn’t banable because it’s allowed. It’s allowed even though your pretend roe on your server forbids it

[azure canyon]

The limitations of the game engine perhaps, but very rarely the rules developers set. Players always makes games better.

Killing miners doesn't make the game better though, it's just something you can do. Pretend roe or not, on our server it actually tries to make the game better for everyone.

[vagrant topaz]

Limitations? Have you played any other games ever? If it’s allowed it’s allowed there are no exemptions like oh the game devs can’t code it properly lol.

Scopley does not ban players for killing miners. It’s part of the core aspect of this game it’s how you hit back against whales. It’s included by design.

[oblique ore]

If you want a war, attack warships. Hitting weak miners is only pathetic. We already changed ROE on the server about this. A outstanding Majority supported the roe change and want protection for surveys. Makes the game better for (almost) all ..

[spare coyote]

Just wait until Scopely caves and makes a peace shield for ships.

[azure canyon]

It's an open design, you don't have to hit miners just because you can. You don't have to shoot anyone if you don't want to. Lots of ways to play and enjoy this game, without actually making it worse for someone else.

[vagrant topaz]

You don’t have to but you can and it’s sanctioned by scopley

[azure canyon]

They encourage pvp, because it frustrates players just enough to spend. Or it makes you lose resources. Otherwise they wouldn't care. The fact we enjoy pvp or not is irrelevant. It's not sanctioned by them, it's your decision in the end.

[woven tulip]

You clearly not been inn an alliance war, its pvp 24/7 no rules, no play just spot the ship and destroy 😄

[azure canyon]

I've been in a few, yes. Been playing for almost 4 years now. Not sure why that matters though?

[woven tulip]

Basically trying to stay a "PVP Event" changes no aspect of the game, it just gives you a better reward for actually doing the core principle of a war game PVP. (a PVP event during an alliance war would be the best event that could run)

[raven marsh]

Really? Another PvP Event? -.- So we cant leave our Base, because all those high Levels just wait to blow up "low Level" Ships..

[azure canyon]

Sure a pvp event during war would be great, but that doesn't take away that you can play this game in many different ways. Pvp isn't forced upon you, it's a choice.

[woven tulip]

yep shield or share 😄

[bronze edge]

System wide pvp is lame. Making it the same day of the week is incredibly unfair for 1/7 of the territories

[woven tulip]

Well if you have TC on everyday of the week except x2 Days, 😄 its never gonna be such a thing as fair. My alliance has x5 Territories, are only off day is Tue/Sat

[spare coyote]

Improving diplomacy mechanics between alliances would be cool. Let alliances initiate competition events with each other (pvp, mining, pve, etc). There is point scoring and winner gets a reward of some sort. Once competition is declared a countdown timer starts to give players a chance to finish dalies. Then competition timer starts so go score points. There would have to be handicapping of course to prevent #1 alliance from steamrolling.

[vapid meteor]

thanks for ignoring all the complaints about the last pvp event and running it again in exactly the same way

[vagrant topaz]

I’m sure that’s sarcasm, given it isn’t the same 🤣

@wanton copper love the pvp event and especially that it’s all out pvp everywhere. Only suggestion is to not include events that cost limited rss to complete such as Cerritos buff events or token events.

Other then that it’s awesome! I’m fine with those events crossing each other but I think it would help other players handle it a little better

[soft agate]

Much thanks to scopely for killing our server once again today and making it a dead place to play

[vernal isle]

<@&509691205798592532> maybe help the above guy potentially NOT doxx himself

[white bramble]

Wrong server

[white bramble]

👍🏻

[proven hill]

Scopely continues to try and force the game to be what they think it should be rather than the one the majority of their players actually participate in. For a minority of players to rail against roe that arises from a consensus between the majority smacks of either self delusion, lack of awareness or just a rampant attempt to attract attention by being "shocking". None of these origins invites even a splinter of respect.

[vagrant ferry]

unified unimatrix pvp event is a joke. Serioulsy this is a non skilled pvp game where if you buy the officers you win. there is no skill at all

[icy marsh]

Why are you running a pvp event when a bunch of people aren't able to login and shield? This is so stupid. @wanton copper @icy cairn

[spare coyote]

Some people like grinding mining events. Some like grinding pve. Some like grinding pvp. There is a skill and a learning curve for each type. I’m not ptw and currently #1 in my unimatrix bracket. Please don’t mothball my new favorite event.

[mild glacier]

STOP RUNNING GALAXY WIDE PVP EVENTS. People want to actually be able to play the game and we can’t do so when whales are running around griefing every ship they see. There’s nothing to do but log off for 2 days because selfish jerks don’t want to let anyone else play.

[cobalt shuttle]

Event is pointless anyway. Gets a lot of people frustrated while the top winners are paired up with another just killing each others ships scoring points

[viscid phoenix]

I did my Cerritos events a short while ago. Got blown up once. Guess what - the world didn’t end.

[vagrant topaz]

You would think it did with how people act lol

[open panther]

I would love to be a fly on the wall when scopley devs decided they would system-restrict jelly brawl on the SAME DAY as a galaxy-wide PvP event! Just inexplicably stupid!

[novel anchor]

Feedback: Tone down on the pvp events, or at least make the pvp event system-specific...

[open panther]

Slightly more diplomatic way to say it… 😏

[novel anchor]

Well, if you ask nicely, usually you get a response. 🙂 Post something yelling / cussing / calling out stupidity / etc ... gets you nothing... like umm, what's that saying... Honey get you nectar? ... that can't be right...

[open panther]

Scopley, please listen to the overwhelming feedback from your loyal players that we do not like the galaxy-wide PvP events because it promotes high-level players to wipe out everything in sight and there is nothing lower level players can do but shield and stop playing for the duration. The system-specific PvP events of the past are just fine because those who want to participate can, but those who don’t aren’t forced into the middle of it. I’m aware that player-created ROE is not part of what the developers condone, but this type of free-for-all PvP promotion is only going to drive good, paying, players away.

[spare coyote]

Scopely ignore the calls to ban the galaxy-wide pvp event as us low-level players actually like the change of pace from monotonous mining.

[warm juniper]

There is always tetris

[pure hamlet]

The Borg Cube avatar from the battlepass isn’t an option to use after claiming the reward.

[glacial peak]

Galaxy-wide PvP events are a terrible idea. They force all but the strongest 5% of players to just hunker down in shielded bases for 24 or 48 hours, grinding the game to a halt for almost everyone. 👎👎👎👎👎

[queen kindle]

Not an avatar, a hf.

[lone dragon]

Screw off with the damn PVP events!!!!!!!🤬 🤬 🤬

[lone dragon]

The top 5% are the ones who pay scopely all of their money, so they kinda get what they want, and screw the rest of us. But if the F2P people stopped playing then the others would stop paying.

[mild glacier]

@viscid phoenix I never said it would, I said people hate this sort of thing and it forces them just stop playing.

[urban moth]

I love the galaxy wide pvp events! Please don’t take them away! @wanton copper

[young oriole]

Boa Noite a todos!
Desculpa escrever em Português, mas estou bastante chateado para não escrever outra palavra.
Acredito que quando se cria ROE, independente do evento, deveriam ser respeitados. Quando se questiona as pessoas, pq atacarem enquanto a se tenta fazer suas diárias, " só respondem que a culpa é da Scopely. Aí fica uma dúvida, Eu jogo com pensantes e não com códigos binários".
Acredito que como em outros eventos de PVP, se poderia escolher alguns Sistemas. Mas também acredito que os que tem poder de mudar as REgras ROE, poderiam pensar no coletivo e escolher um alguns Sistemas. Desta forma, Eu acredito que seria mais sensato. (Minha opinião e desculpa pelo texto.)

Good evening everyone!
Sorry to write in Portuguese, but I'm too upset not to write another word.
I believe that when ROE is created, regardless of the event, they should be respected. When people are asked why they attack while trying to do their diaries, "the only answer is that it's Scopely's fault. That leaves a doubt, I play with thinkers and not with binary codes".
I believe that as in other PVP events, you could choose some Systems. But I also believe that those who have the power to change the ROE Rules could think collectively and choose a few Systems. In this way, I believe it would be more sensible. (My opinion and sorry for the text.)

[lime mortar]

If they're going to force a galaxy wide pvp, at least do the kindness of not scheduling it on Cerritos Wednesday. Whoever scheduled the event should be fired

[vagrant topaz]

I am people, I don’t hate it. Please don’t assume you (or the handful of people here) have a platform to speak for everyone.

[mild glacier]

@vagrant topaz perhaps I read the channel name wrong, event's-feedback. If you wish to make false claims regarding another players comments please direct it to galaxy or event chat, thank you.

[vagrant topaz]

False claims?

[glacial pawn]

I don't often have nice things to say but I will happily give credit when it's due. Thanks for the galaxy wide PvP event. 👍 Twice a month is a great idea I reckon.

[quaint parrot]

Hi devs, thanks to have created this PvP event (Unified Unimatrix - SLB). For me it is the best event you have created. I am very bored to kill hostiles, to mine resources and gain game currency for free to use them for nothing.

Sorry for the delay. I should have thanked you last week but now I thank you double.

[sour arch]

Mixes things up for sure. The day to day in this game is filled with mining and hostile grinding. This event changes that and gives something else to do. Maybe it needs a bit of tuning to improve the event and I wouldn't want it running every day. But it is a good thing. A day off grinding 100s of reds gives my RSI a chance to recover.

[hybrid marsh]

This bs event again worthless.

[cold quiver]

The word people does not imply everyone… 🙄

[fresh frost]

You mean exactly like Brassman did? Lots of people wassailing about how bad the event is saying "everyone hates it" 😄

[cold quiver]

That’s the problem, he didn’t. Reread what he wrote, he literally refers to a second group of “people” when he refers to whales in the second part of the same sentence. English seems to be a challenging language for some here.

Context matters.

[fresh frost]

But it's also not just whales who are enjoying it and taking part (or, in my case, ignoring it as an event I have little interest in - grind slbs, bleh - and being not at all impacted by) 🙂

[cold quiver]

I agree 100%. So the way Brassman phrased it(which implied all people who are not whales) is inherently wrong as well, HarmoniousDeath’s reply was not only flat out wrong based on ASSumption, but also unnecessarily mean spirited. Very unmoderater like. 🙂

[vital parcel]

Very good event 👍 Much activity on servers 👍 wow cool 👍

[woven tulip]

Their not exactly popular systems.

[eternal lintel]

So, so sad that pvp event is only one day this time instead of two 😭😭😭 we have lat Monday every week and grind events almost every day, please more Galaxy-wide pvp events!!

[vagrant topaz]

Depending on size and age of your servers, those are hardly busy systems anyway 😅

[vagrant topaz]

I shall in future attempt to convey my correction that an individual doesn’t speak for everyone universally in a way that… nah, you know what, I can’t muster the energy. You’ll always find a way to have a dig no matter what I do.

[vital parcel]

On 133 both lvl 35 swarm systems are normally packed. Others - mines were full, systems with armadas were occupied with ships doing or floating after an armada.

[junior bluff]

That PvP event basically prevented me doing jelly brawl - that event is just making thing worse for 95% of the players

[tawny pumice]

Officer flash pass points today? 👀

[odd solar]

Getting Officer Flash Pass Points instead of Battlepass Points today

[odd ivy]

Bps aren’t calculating

[rain remnant]

Yeah I got flash pass points instead ,would think they would have that figured out since it happend recently....

[agile trout]

event is dumb. why limit it to ultra? any officer recruitment token should score

[hallow island]

Because Scopley knows a massive amount of players are hoarding ultra recruit tokens and are trying to thin the numbers with events on them

[agile trout]

only players who are in the top 5 alliances. this event unfairly disadvantages those who don’t have access to lots of alliances tokens.

[hallow island]

If you haven't learnt by now to hoard resources until an event pops up to spend them, I don't know what to tell you bud. I always keep 30k ultra recruit tokens as a minimum just in case of an event

[agile trout]

i hoard plenty. i typically place in top 10 in slb events as a result. ultra recruitment tokens can- only be bought in the alliance store which u probably benefit from because ur in a large alliance who receives a decent amount of alliance tokens. not everyone has access to lots of alliance tokens. i have 200k tokens of each faction tokens. event should exclude ALL officer recruitment. bad event is bad.

[sand lintel]

NEED more transwarp tokens.... I know you like to not give them out... but please allow us to finish the events.

[hallow island]

I don't think I've ever spent alliance credits on ultra recruit tokens, I can get about 30k a month from completing events so no need to really. More useful for shield tokens.

[agile trout]

i only spend ultra recruit tokens on these events. i maybe get 10k each month. i do not buy the battle pass. i complete every event and battle pass overflow each month.

[hallow island]

I think you get more than that from doing the faction hunt events alone, there are loads of ways to get ultra recruits in a month, definitely more than 10k's worth.

[agile trout]

credit cards dont count.

ur probably a higher level than me and ur sourcing is better. i complete each event and hoard.

[noble citrus]

Wouldn't be as bad if there wasn't JUST the same event

[hallow island]

I really don't require a cc to get loads of ultra recruits a month. If you have 200k of each faction recruit tokens, you must be high lvl enough to get 20k+ each month through events/dailies. We haven't had a ultra recruit token spend event in like a year as well

[noble citrus]

There was one this arc lol like a week or two ago

[agile trout]

im a lvl 39. i punch up for my lvl. i do my dailies and events. all im saying is it should be all officer recruitment. this event is pay to win.

[hallow island]

There is hardly anyone complaining about this event, 18k in total for 2 events, and these are the only 2 we've had in a year. Treat ultra recruit tokens like you do any other currency in the game and hoard, instead of spending whenever you get them

[agile trout]

i haven’t spent any sense the last event despite ur claims. i spend faction recruitment occasionally, never ultra. u could just say this is a pay to win event and leave it at that because it is. its not the first, wont be the last.

[hallow island]

If you got 10k ultra recruits last month and another 10k this month, surely it would be easy to complete, no?

[agile trout]

spent last week during this same event. i thought it was a bad event then, i still think its a bad event.

[woven tulip]

Dont waste them then, save them until its worth it. Also i dont think anyone buys the Ultra's from alliance store its like 4K alliance tokens for 800 (1 chest pull) its not worth it. Big alliances or not, your not gonna be getting 4K A-Tokens every now and then...

[eternal lintel]

How do you figure? I’m in a bigger alliance but I’ve never spent alliance credits on ultras. Don’t need to

[warm mason]

Anybody else seeing incorrect scoring in the Apex Annihilation - SMS?

[vestal nebula]

Need more transwarp tokens. If you have an event with tons of probe kills required, provide some extra access to those systems please

[viscid phoenix]

Personally, I fundamentally disagree with hoarding everything until Scopely decides to put out an event. I’d rather progress at a pace I dictate, not Scopely. Plus, no matter what you’ve hoarded you’ll end up getting gazumped by spenders anyway. I’d rather have useful officers now than sit on recruit tokens for months on end in the hope Scopely launches an event for spending them.

[hallow island]

I am able to save enough to compete in a few slbs not all, but there's nothing wrong with keeping some currency in reserve

[limber marsh]

Again only lag and unplayable, scopely your game has only junk value

[sinful heart]

Give this person a beer! Exactly. Officer Utility is the bees knees. Keep 12k worth in reserve, blow through the rest 😉

[warm juniper]

Scopely’s idea to reduce screen time. For those without the new vidar that’s 333 borg kills

[white bramble]

You can kill swarms which will get it done faster. I highly doubt many attempted swarm daily’s during the PvP event

[sand lintel]

i was very surprised that people werent hitting swarm space during this last PVP event on my server

[warm juniper]

The point is that during a borg event / battlepass you need to kill swarm to be able to finish the event. If you want to do it with borg probes you can’t even do 50% because of the daily 2 tokens limit

[agile trout]

event has unrealistic expectations.

[light canyon]

Syndicate advancement point scoring is way to high for how little time it’s actually running.

[proper cipher]

I repeat scopely make the heavy hitter slb one day!

[pulsar obsidian]

So not sure how this player did it, but he scored 500 billion pts in 5 minutes on heavy hitter’s. Lvl 45-47 bracket.

[craggy elm]

it's heroic - credit card event

[warm juniper]

I’m getting XP from syndicate, from daily extra chest and from mantis. And this is the highest i can get. Why don’t skip this event the next time and sell it as a pack for like €500 or something. That’s just as realistic as this event

Well Generally this event is not new its a normal BP event, nothing to do with Borg Arc. I personally have never tried to complete it killing borg always swarm as alot faster. I can either kill x16 lvl 43 Swarm (as part of my daily grind goal) or kill x64 lvl 36 borg. Generally i complete this event without even noticing as i always kill x22 lvl 43 swarm a day. So event done without even trying

[woven tulip]

This has and always has been a paid event can only complete 100% by spending. anything generally marked "Heroic SMS" is not intended for F2P, its for P2P... F2P usually can do some Milestones but not all.

[viscid phoenix]

That’s why they’ve increased the milestones this month

[warm juniper]

Won’t pay for a game that crashes every 10 min

[vagrant topaz]

You just got 6 Hugh shards, and 4 Ghalenar shards for doing something you were doing anyway, and your suggestion is to bin that off completely so you get nothing and just sell the $500 pack?

https://tenor.com/view/i-cant-tell-whether-youre-being-serious-or-not-dan-levy-david-david-rose-schitts-creek-gif-20254755

Personally I’m glad to be able to grab a few shards from an event clearly aimed at people who spend way more than me…

[ionic glade]

I dont think its scaled particularly well. If the expectation is you might get first rung with standard daily stuff then get the higher rungs with spending. depending on your ops/ mantis level/ syndicate level it is impossible to even get bottom rung even with double pulls on mantis - before they whacked up the requirements you could reach bottom rung doing it

[icy marsh]

um, not really, a couple of months ago, this SMS had lower targets and the 1st and even 2nd milestone was reachable with lucky and planning. not anymore

[viscid phoenix]

I managed to get the first rung through daily xp collections. Guess it depends on what tier mantis you have and whether you can do the double pulls there. Plus you need the extra xp from the bajoran favour

[icy marsh]

i'm at t2, that's 3.1k per day if you double pull. +daily +bajoran only gets me to 42k. the only way i could've done even milestone one is if i purposely waited till 1am when events reset to pull a 3rd one

[flint yacht]

and all these hoarders are doing very well! If the ultra chests had actually sought-after officers, people would spend them, otherwise just hoard. So again a bad design, or better stated an old design that hasn't followed the lifecycle of the game to get a proper update.

[woven tulip]

Completing 2/4 milestones as F2P still makes it at P2P event 😄 Plus i said "Some Milestones" i didnt mention M1 or M2 😄 . The higher milestones this round is to prevent F2P scoring and encourage more P2P spenders.

[meager sigil]

@icy cairn , @wanton copper, Scopely How can you be such an IQ Fighter’s ? How can you do this event without these ultra tokens? This game is really complete rubbish.

[woven tulip]

Its not intended to be completed. Its an attempt from Scopely to drain your months of hoarded resources. Its a marketing scheme, If they bring out a Ultra Pack for £89.99 no one is gonna buy it because majority have upto 100K+ banked. The more Ultra spend events they bring out the less you have stock piled, this would encourage spenders to go buy more. This is also still completable 100% F2P (before this event have not seen an ultra spend event in months)

[vagrant topaz]

You can’t complete it without ultras, but if you’ve ignored that historically these events run like this and spent them anyway you kinda put yourself here.

[meager sigil]

Scopely has already made sure that I don't spend anything on his useless packages. They're their own fools. 🤣😂

[vagrant topaz]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[potent oracle]

While I agree with you, we should strive for something better than "don't play the game if you want to play the game"

[vagrant topaz]

I agree, the trouble is it’s striking a balance; encouraging enough spending to keep the lights on vs a free to play game that closes or worse runs adverts every 30 seconds…

[harsh flower]

So were is points chest you said we should get? We havent got it

[vagrant topaz]

For me I like this event, we’ve had plenty of warning that they consider these a currency as far as spend events go, and it means there’s a break between the incessant mat spends.

[vagrant topaz]

In gifts if you needed it.

[meager sigil]

If this continues, many people will delete the game. And Scopley can make one last server for the remaining Credit Card players. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[vagrant topaz]

It’s an event with nice but not game changing rewards, I’m sure you’ll cope 🙂

[potent oracle]

Yeah my point is I'd like to upgrade officers on my terms when I want to, vs having to save everything, all the time. Same goes for material spend events. Can't upgrade anything unless there's an incentive, then you also have to factor in how much you're going to need to save to get that incentive (officers). I liked the way they released Tendi. You weren't just given the officer you had to complete the events to get her. Optional spending to upgrade her beyond that. Spending should be an option that's available to people if they want it. Shouldn't need to save for months and put all progress on hold for the chance to unlock an officer, I don't consider that fun and this is a game afterall.

[vagrant topaz]

Don’t disagree, but we have the hand we’re dealt

[meager sigil]

It's been like this for months, unfortunately I see very little shame in the near future we will change, Scopely just needs the money. and they have no interest in F2P or low-donating players or improving the gaming experience. They can't even manage to keep the game running stably.

[harsh flower]

I and 30 of our alliance members have 272,5k and 1 in our alliance has 283k he did event this morning and we did it yesterday when it roll out

[vagrant topaz]

272.5k is correct.

[fresh frost]

Then likely he did 1-2 milestones before the fix went in (it was only broken for an hour tops?) - I did the same, I had a couple milestones pre-fix, and then finished post-fix, ended up with the full 15k in 'lets fix that' chest, and am now a tad ahead of the curve

[potent oracle]

I think I got the comp chest because I did see some milestones that said “officer flash pass points”. I was at 272.5k before I got the gift chest.

[native reef]

I did every pull possible and maxed my mantis pulls and can't get lvl 1 by 500 points. Can we fix the math to help players at least get the bottom tier

[vagrant topaz]

What tier Mantis?

[native reef]

I'm a lvl 35 so my mantis is lvl locked at tier 3.

[vagrant topaz]

Ah yeah that’s hard; any multiphasics to do a single pull over the line?

[native reef]

No multiphasic. I have Prophets gift unlocked and pulled that twice also. I don't know what i missed.

My main feedback if i pull everything possible why can't i hit 60K or 55K. Gets me lvl 1 of the event but not even close to lvl 2. Or lower lvl 1 to 45K.

[vagrant topaz]

I think that’s reasonable - I’ll pass on that not being able to do this with even a modest Mantis is a little salt-in-the-wound.

[native reef]

THANKS. If i could get all 110K in Mantis active Venom back that would be nice (lol). That's alot of grinding when i could have only spent 22K and saved 88K and or 3 trips to apex space with a full cargo run. I do really enjoy the game and thank you for being able to voice my thoughts here. Everyone have a good day and weekend.

[light canyon]

Thank you scopley for showing your true colors of greed by making the events scoring impossible for free to play players to even reach the first tier. Again you cater to the cash whales . Make the game fair on scoring there is no need to keep making the scoring impossible for free to play players. Cash whales will always buy. Your ruining the fun of the game with your outrageous scoring to try to force people to buy.

[warm juniper]

If you didn’t noticed the whole borg event with the borg borg armadas around it are totally useless. Rewards are designed not to get except if you pay, armada’s way to difficult and hard to plan and get for actually totally useless rewards. Lot’s of people realized this already ( not you) and don’t even spend any time on it. And if it was possible i would give those borg shards to you because I don’t want them

[vagrant topaz]

I’d gladly take them because something is better than nothing 🤷🏻‍♂️

[sacred jasper]

Why are ticketed events for RSS instead of event currency

[warm vortex]

the ticketed events are mostly just always the same and always give RSS instead of any event currency

[hollow pier]

22*3? That's more than the 50 limit... So I'd be happy if I were you.

[white bramble]

Limit is 70

It’s not broken the max limit is 70. You opened another 3 and now you have a single left

[hollow pier]

Wait what? When did it change to 70?!

[plain void]

that means im still gonna have aload of loot that i cannot Spend

[white bramble]

3 days ago

[soft agate]

Lack of communication in game. Still said 50. Instead of coming back saying 20. So when it magically reappeared people thought they could get 50 more. Communication in game is more important than discord

[marble sierra]

well im usually not one for praise.. but u get a ton of rss from this arc regardless

[sand lintel]

fattenning us up for the kill (incursions - if they ever get that working again)

[frosty stirrup]

@wanton copper This is a nice touch

[timber maple]

is the matching xSLB announced to go with the SMS delayed?

[queen kindle]

It's running for me, what level and server are you?

[timber maple]

ops 39 (and others above and below in my alliance don't see it) .. server 72 I believe

[queen kindle]

Go to system view, and click on a base. What's the blue number in the lower left in the popup?

[timber maple]

yeah 72.

[noble citrus]

These spend events are insane for 10 shards lol

[timber maple]

it just showed up.

[spring rapids]

Did not get credit for mats I spent after changeover for the xslb but did for the sms. Sent ticket, is scopely aware of this issue and how long should it take to get credit for the mats spent?

[queen kindle]

Some servers were reporting a missing xslb just shortly after reset. You might have been affected. I'd wait like an hour to see if you get the pts, and file a ticket if nothing still.

[brave linden]

@icy cairn Those leaderboards suck! How can f2p players even begin to compete against p4w players to get anything at all! Absolute rubbish!

[bitter field]

Same here

[mighty star]

<@&509691205798592532> Isn't it fascinating that when you search for "expansion" this entire discord the only battle report that is coming up is in #👾-bug-reporting ? It appears that it is not going so well

[vagrant topaz]

Uh, what can I do to help you with that?

Bunch of them on our alliance discord.

[fair lantern]

The Borg Armada events were a letdown, especially for free-to-play players. The poorly designed split Armada style event put participants, particularly smaller alliances, at a disadvantage. They struggled to progress since powerful players were busy hitting solos, and there weren't enough total directives available. Furthermore, since most events required payment for rare and epic directives, many free-to-play players chose to take a break from the game during the whole arc, exacerbating the problems.

We strongly urge Scopely to prioritize players' concerns and create engaging events that cater to all players, regardless of their payment preferences. After all, pay-to-play players need others to compete against to justify their investment.

[wanton anvil]

The arc turned out to be not that bad. Was a rough start when many of the events did not deploy correctly. While there were numerous events (a good thing) they were unbalanced. Days of excess and days of bore.
Hailing Frequencies were meh- not sure if anyone cared about this feature.
Borg cube was too complicated. Exos need to be “execute on command” to make coordination easier.
Borg Cube rewards are insufficient.
BorgQueen Annie Wercshing tribute was respectful - a big plus for the arc
Valentine’s Day event was fun and rewarding
Pvp events were fun- just need to limit them to 24 hrs period
Missions were entertaining.
Free Talios- saved the arc. Good ship!
Rewards for this arc were excellent-
Overall this arc gets a C

[lethal dock]

Solid F

[swift rain]

these events are really needing 10 ships all at once, not ideal synergy at all. you have solos and regular armadas at the same time. you have mining and borg armadas (which need to relo or disco), plus multiple slbs for different purposes. and is it just me or are weekends super busy and weekdays much slower?? some of us like to go outside now

[sand lintel]

i think scopely likes to break stuff on the weekends when theres no one here to fix any of it so why not run EVERYTHING on the weekends... 🙂

[heady basin]

simple. don't do the borg armada events.

[lone dragon]

Strike Team La'an event is not scoring. I have started a bunch of research and buildings today and still have zero points.

[queen kindle]

Are you using uc+ quality mats?

[marsh spade]

In the event Borg Brawl I'm just wondering what the logic is behind putting level 32-35 in same bracket. All the top positions in leader board are held by 35's that have Talios. Majority in this bracket can't even build it yet. So how is this a level competition 🤔

[mighty star]

Given that those expansion cubes are already chaos enough, can scopely please add a sign so that the armada lead sees who has this 1 hour exo comp thing on and who does not?

#PleaseFixExpansionCubes.com

[vital parcel]

There's not enough events today, I'm sure you can pack some more hostile and function hunts. Oh and additional armada event. That's what we need right now.

[dapper pewter]

The ticket event for today, shouldn't that be ore and exchange? Those are Friday's normal ticketed events.

[eager hornet]

Really Scopely? You dummys have us all killing Eclipse, Anomaly, Swarm, Borg, Battleship, Interceptor & PVP all in the same day? IS THIS A GAME OR A 2ND JOB? 🤬

[inland apex]

@wanton copper @icy cairn The commander event for destroying explorers with a battleship is not registering bounty hunter explorers killed by my mantis.

[vagrant topaz]

You have to start the fight

Auto grinding / being attacked by hostiles doesn’t count.

[junior pond]

Events like these with their current level bracket scope are bad enough, but when you do them with ships that the lower levels in that bracket are locked out of tiering because of their ops level, it takes effectively any chance at fairness out of the event.

[kind slate]

what is the point of having to mine 3 MILLION tritanium scopely ? do you want us all to run away from this game ?

[manic estuary]

So my daily mining isn't scoring and a bunch of it has a little yellow shield type thing across it

[toxic vortex]

Just wait until the 50+ mission with the 5M trit

[undone wharf]

Why is the ticket mining event crystal as it was on Friday instead of ore?

[junior pond]

A ship that is out of the box less capable than the one it is replacing should not start with a repair time that is 3x the ship it's replacing. The power level of the T1 Talios and T9 Vidar is nearly identical. There should be no reason for this massive jump in repair times.

[stone quarry]

Fleet Commander Bonus multiplier not working for Explorer hostiles.

[supple coyote]

@wanton copper @icy cairn love the rep packs please make these packs at least a monthly occurrence, bought one today it advanced my progress by about 3 months, re run it next month ill more than likely buy 3 - 4 on my second account. triple reps locks makes life a lot better when it comes to progressing into g5 country on 2nd ac just unlocked and build ktinga and bchor gonna make life so much less grindy............... great packs well-done @scopley

[trail adder]

I’ve run several solo armadas borg and dominion. The dominion solos are not scoring. Event does not specify so these should count- Recruit La’an Event.

[fair lantern]

The SMS Vidar PvP event has been a complete failure. Scopely thought it was smart to require players to attack each other to score, but it has led to an empty system with hardly any real PvP combat. Instead, some players have been making deals to hit each other, and very few have participated. Scopely's attempts to encourage PvP engagement and prevent players from exploiting the system have been futile. The real issue lies in the imbalance caused by players who can buy advantages, a predetermined scoring system based on the latest meta crew, and the lack of level and power range restrictions. These factors will always make genuine PvP engagement impossible, and these changes have only made the situation worse and the underlying flaw more obvious. It's becoming more apparent that the game will never be able to implement true PvP, as they've committed to a path they can't reverse. The question is when will enough of its paying customers realize this and start jumping ship. Maybe they need to start encouraging Farmville. It seems like it's the only real action in the game. 😂😂😂

[supple coyote]

man does your server not team up for pvp events? on my server we arrange pvp events where we trade pvp kills just to do these events find a semi friendly player not in your alliance and trade pvp kills job done

[lone dragon]

Well...the Talios PVP event did exactly what Scopely wanted it to do. Used all of my repair speedups and I still didn't finish the event because I don't give them my money.

[errant vault]

uncommons, or rares and epics? Event are rares and epics only.

[trail adder]

All three.

[errant vault]

Did you check at start or finish? Spend directive events score on the starting, not the finishing. It's also not a primary scoring, so it's really not worth doing it that way.

[trail adder]

Yes. Score hasn’t changed in 24 hours and I’ve run all three types.

[errant vault]

Unfortunately I am currently out of Rare and Epic Directives, so I can not test, sorry. Also, my
packs are on cooldown.
