[cobalt wave]

LOL!! You buy tickets to win tokens to exchange for a random chance crew drawing. Might as well wipe your backside with a $20, at least it would be performing a service for you then.

[slate coral]

The cash pack fives a maximum of 3 tickets (limit 1) to spread across the total of 6 events in a full 3 day period... We are probably getting free ones... An hour late... Thanks daylight savings time

[lucid idol]

I assume so too but it's besides the point really, this entire arc has just been one terrible decision after another, so many that I'm of the opinion they're deliberately making decisions that they know are bad, I don't believe for a second that anyone has such poor judgement, they wouldn't have survived to be an adult if that was the case

[elfin nest]

Wow no tickets for the Ticketed event. I don't see Quality at all.

[obsidian quiver]

I'm almost sure they will appear or a least one will appear at second reset. 1pm eastern. Ill give scopley a little credit.

[unreal coral]

tickets may come at event reset

[light canyon]

Where the tickets for the ticket event’s scopley? Kinda hard to do an event without em

[novel mango]

Which happen already for most events

[icy marsh]

i think this is the worst event store since i've started playing. i'm literally looking at the entire store trying to see what i would buy to put into the slb placement and most of it is just meh. really, only 4 officers originally and 4 more added? i would be mad if i actually had a decent amount of tokens (and thanks for being ultra frugal on tokens)

[lucid idol]

don't forget the fact they've put a limit of 20 on the only officers anyone really wanted

[wheat pasture]

1 free ticket, plus 3 we can buy...4 total? And the scoring still looks completely incomprehensible.

[warm crest]

There's the free emerald ticket. But no regular ticket. Good job scopely

[noble citrus]

No uncommon event tickets?

[gloomy estuary]

another dead event

[light canyon]

I gotten no tickets not emerald or regular, nvm the emerald just managed to get it, but the regular still haven’t gotten those .

[high basin]

Just got emerald, no regular

[warped sparrow]

Cardassian armadas not count points -_- only killing cardassian ships works for me

[warm cave]

So that’s cool. A ticket event, but no tickets anywhere other than the cash store.

[warm peak]

Still no UC Event Tickets for our usual Ticketed Event weekend. It's been almost 20 mins past reset now

[light canyon]

Yep and they over charge you for so little

[high aurora]

https://tenor.com/view/stfc-star-trek-fleet-command-ultimate-djz-ultimat-djz-ultimatedjz-gif-17625813090936759357

[formal musk]

No chance of ticket events being pulled/corrected rewards (event currency) being added, right?

[elfin nest]

Only Emerald one showed up. No ticketed ones

[molten marlin]

ticket events are not changing their rewards, and the regular tickets are out now, reset your game if you don't see it

[warm peak]

yupp! got it1

[brave otter]

Mats in tickets... pass.

[high aurora]

Limit 20 on Ent E offficers in event store….Spending limit $0 on event store packs. Easy decision

[remote badge]

More than halfway through the BP and loot sourcing looks even more like it’s never going to improve.

Yes the store selection is terrible, but I should at least be able to get enough loot to max buy a currency like Tier Up Catalysts or something.

Eco did say he would look into making the ticketed events consistent with every single event store in the past, but just more empty words.

[elfin nest]

Its been like that since they started the rare ticket event...officers are rewarded once you complete all 9

[brave otter]

I was looking for event store loot, since every other event store arc has had that in tickets. Not mats.
I fully understand how completing all tickets works.

[elfin nest]

Ah ok. As far as I remember they never gave out event store currency in ticketed events but I'm only playing since 2 years

[remote badge]

Every prior event store month the tickets contained event store currency & sometimes 1 rare officer shard in the top milestone.

Contained Thalaron was December 2023’s event currency:

[pallid token]

They have until this one... People used to stash tickets for event stores because of it.

[visual holly]

no. the last event store featured both. 9k currency for tickets and 12k I think for the rare ticket for a total of roughly 279k currency for anyone who saved tickets.

and the store before that and the store before that...

[elfin nest]

Good to keep in mind next time. I'm started doing todays ticket events so may as well continue. Thanks peeps

[rapid eagle]

So on this AMS, the maximum that a single alliance member can contribute is 600 points(1 person doing all 6 sms events) over the 3 day event...so if we divide 21k to complete the AMS by the 600 max a single person can contribute that comes to 35...which means if your alliance is under 35 people there's no mathematical way you can finish this AMS...and that's assuming all 35 members are completing 2 sms each day. So yeah...that's awesome

[errant chasm]

Why are the Ent-E officers limited to 20 shards in the event store?

[vagrant topaz]

If they let you get too much for free, then you won't spend $$$, €€€, or ¥¥¥ in the store. They just give you a taste to get you hooked.

[errant chasm]

but there is no limit to the Enterprise officers and I don't recall an officer limit in the past in event stores. Seems like a new way to screw us.

[vagrant topaz]

You'll have to take it up with the programmer for the event store. His name is Ben Dover.

[hard sentinel]

They limited them because they were only added at our request. If you want it then they give you a little but know they can keep doing that as long as you don't get all you want. Telling them what we want is a sure fire way for them to come up with slow release or pay to get mechanics of those things

[kindred hill]

@full swan@wanton copper have you guys thought about adding more Secion 31 credits in the wave pass instead of so many starts. Feels like just to much time in waves everyday.

[full swan]

Hm. There are a lot of ciphers in the WD battle pass. And considering it only costs 100 to start, that does seem excessive. Dunno if we'll be able to get S31 credits, but maybe we can swap it out for something...

[vagrant topaz]

@full swan Have you had a chance to suggest that they add a delete key to our inventories? If so, what was their response?

[full swan]

There was a conversation about it but I got the impression that we wouldn't do a delete option in case a player accidentally gets rid of something they need. Think the discussion was more like archiving or at least a way to hide the items. I'll follow up to see if there are any updates.

[vagrant topaz]

Archiving would be a good option too. And please find a way I can shove Wesley out of the airlock. 🤣

[molten marlin]

Recycle system! trade in old currency/bps/materials for something else!

[tropic folio]

Last week the ticketed events gave out store currency, why are we back to materials?

[rough scarab]

It was mats last week too. I think you mean the last event store month

[covert ginkgo]

Replicator system! Fits perfectly thematically and functionally. So long as they don’t turn it into a building to monetize it somehow.

[spice scarab]

Great idea, and you know what would go even better with that? A whole new loop and grind!

[lime osprey]

Another ticketed event with no event store currency as a reward at the end of the arc. Really, really lame.

[lament delta]

I think it's more problematic to look at it like this:
A 70 person alliance would be needed to have everyone do all 3 days to complete f2p.
That's a huge ask and therefore basically requires your alliance to spend to be finish.
That's not cool.

[toxic kindle]

Fix the scaling for higher Ops on the Cardassian BP already. Ops 56 and it took me 73 kills while lower Ops can do it in 1. I guess quantity over quality again.... Edit for typo

[elder fern]

Gotta love the added drama of making Lucky Porthos only available to alliances with 70+ members and 100% activity or smaller alliances that spend to make up the difference… lower the scoring requirements, please! It’s just a holiday event. Turning it into a cash grab seems in poor taste, esp over a cute little puppy avatar.

[sharp lark]

For real. I actually like that avatar, but my alliance only has 76 members, with at least a handful inactive or no longer playing/on indefinite hiatus. We won't be finishing the AMS for sure.

[elder fern]

It’s a big ask for the vast majority of alliances out there IMHO. The events are easy enough, but activity ebbs and flows for many folks even in full alliances. It’s crazy to me that even an alliance of 70 has no margin for error without spending if they want the cute puppy avatar. 😬😅

[sharp lark]

Totally agree. I was just using my alliance as an example and proof of your point.

[stuck turtle]

Our alliance doesn’t even have enough members even if everyone bought the 3 extra tickets. So we see no point in event trying to do this. Personally, I’m still salty they changed it in the last spend event. Lucky Porthos should already by mine 🥲

[sweet valve]

Yeah, not happening for us. I can remind all I want but people have lives outside this game.

[celest edge]

Completion of events in a game played solely for entertainment purposes shouldn't be a full-time job. If Scopely wants to keep their big spenders, they should probably revisit the amount of time it takes to complete the multiple loops, daily & weekly events, and those lovely 20 minute defense waves (if you go through all 10 waves). The time suck is real!

[graceful lantern]

<@&509690795536941056> Very misleading of you to have an event with the picture of a borg probe but is in fact a swarm event

[pale tendon]

Wow, Borg Probes really look like Swarm… 🙄

[prime harness]

Mats sms for Pholx again? I didn't spend a single gas, crystal or ore or dollar last weekend and I won't this weekend. Not for that officer. Not for crap officers like him.

[boreal coyote]

Some of us ( me ) can’t see that well. The Red copy only makes it worse. I would never pick this if it was swarm. This is some hot quality

[trim gazelle]

@wanton copper @full swan

I think they forgot about the event store, not a single event-store currency event today?

Also cosmic cleanup is missing

[graceful lantern]

That will likely appear in 45 mins

[molten marlin]

not all events have rolled out due to DST, wait before donning your pitchforks

[calm relic]

@wanton copper Is this event kill swarm or borg tactical probes? It shows borg probes but states swarm?

[spring igloo]

5 years in, and they still can’t program around DST? That alone is a reason for the pitchforks. They need to either stop making changes because of DST or hire a big brain that can handle the +/- 1 hour properly.

[trim gazelle]

No

[viral kayak]

It's not Borg Probes ...

[trim rapids]

the away team mission "planet of the Emerald Isle" should give credits for trait XP. Its very hard to finish these otherwise. The frame isn't a common thing people have so it isn't a good replacement

[modest echo]

Universal translator frame? What's this?

[molten marlin]

was from the 38+ silent enemies slb

[fiery stirrup]

Exactly. The success of an sms event shouldn't depend on a reward for the top spots of an slb event.

With speedups being elusive and AT missions completely random e.g having only long uncommons and rares pop up and then not have the option to spend trait xp to score which you saved up for that exact reason... Thanks for nothing i guess

[slate parcel]

Scopely, will G5 remain in the SLB bracket with G6 forever?

[celest edge]

I think it's just Scopely's way of eliminating rewards for players who don't spend enough in game to buy a yacht.

[somber hinge]

Love this mix of two-level-silent hostiles in each system, when you come in full buffed and need to decide, with which hostiles you want to start..

[graceful tundra]

G5 and G6 back in the same bracket. GARBAGE DESIGN.

[stuck canyon]

German translation wrong again, good job,, unbelievable how incompetent these scopley employees are

[lyric eagle]

Was just gonna post this, quality over quantity shining through once again 🤣

[spare creek]

Can we bring out pitchforks now? Nothing for event currency. Pretty poor game play design to put limited time stuff in their that people want and then not allow them to earn it.
If they think this will drive me to buy a pack it wont

[limpid galleon]

i usually buy the waves BPs, because i like waves. but this month is just a big slap in the face. the arc fall event shops where always the opportunity to catch up at least a little bit of the stuff which was money gated or SLB-gates. You still had to chose but it was possible to get some officers complete. to open a shop and play out no events to give us the currency is just stupid and frustrating. no NX in the shop. there are scarcely any event at all this month. if this what scopely does for less screen time, well zeroing the screen time is not so far away anymore.
i will neither buy the wave BP or the normal BP and i only can recommend to everyone to stop spending.

[flint geyser]

So now your pushing us to spend in main chat, I would love to be able to get the shards, but don't have enough gas due to the massive bottleneck and ridiculous amount of points needed, so I guess I will loose out on these up coming events as well....

[flint geyser]

A market to trade would be better, something we have been asking for years!! swap your stuff for something useful

[tame iris]

Greetings, is it possible to complete 1 or 2 milestones in ths event for free or just pay2win?

[fluid lotus]

Anything with heroic in the title is meant to be pay2win

[tame iris]

Not even the first milestone?

[queen kindle]

Advanced players should be able to unlock a MS, the scoring only requires unlocking artifacts. F2p should be able to earn enough to unlock at least a rare.

[fluid gust]

it is definitely possible to get 1 milestone, maybe a 2nd, if you can grind enough silent enemies to get a double exchange every day.

[tame iris]

Thanx guys ☺️

[limpid galleon]

i calculated it, one blue is possible. a second not, would be cheaper to get an epic, an this also is not possible.
you have to pull double chests mostly though.

[meager moss]

Can we sink up the timers! Some events start an hour later than others, hard to keep track.

[vale iris]

I do not see the Cube in my event store....I sent in a ticket and was told that because i Bought 75Bps during the december event that 75 is the max available from events...you get 5 from the mission so im stuck at 80bps....how am i ever supposed to complete the cube if its a 75 limit max for ALL events and not per event? @wanton copper

[trim gazelle]

As long as you don't accidentally unlock the wrong artifact. I unlocked eye of Ara as f2p already, but didn't realize its not on the list.

[queen kindle]

Right now, you can't, and need to wait for additional sourcing.

[prisma temple]

@eco Daylight savings is NOT hard! aligning the events is NOT hard.....just put a notice out and put big red letters on any event that will be 1 hr short or longer...cmon

[nova fulcrum]

Or a replicator in which you can burn any unneeded items to get useful items

[prisma temple]

scopely tells u to get eye of ara then doesnt include it in the list of artifacts! cmon!

[lethal jasper]

Disappointing Saint Patricks Day event line. such a cute avatar and unreachable unless folks in your alliance also participate, smaller alliances makes it hard to get enough points to complete the ams. avatar should be available in event store too, imo.

[frosty lodge]

How much longer will you be lumping G5 level players with 60+ players in every and ALL SLBs?? its been like this for months. First you widen the disparity between spent mats score ,G3 vs G4 vs G5, and then you stick the largest player base (as if competition wasnt bad enough given the sheer numbers of 50+ players) in an even wider bracket??

[trim gazelle]

@wanton copper

@full swan

You guys forget to schedule events for today? What a joke. I'll go play something else where they still care about making good content.

[woven gyro]

Milestones for this event are absurd for 38. To be fair it's on me for not reading the description to see what exactly needed to be done (it seemed like an easy choice between yet-another-domination and probes).. but I spend most of my time in 33 Borg system. Did a run with two Vidars like I normally do and I'm 14% complete after burning two tokens.. guess I'll need to figure out something different. Maybe this is why so few people in my alliance are bothering with the Emerald Wonders event.

[slim birch]

if you completed all six events in Emerald Wonders shouldn't Emerald Wonders -IMS & AMS be done also?

[molten marlin]

depends on your server and your alliance

[sweet valve]

Your alliance would need to complete 210 SMS events collectively to get the avatar. It’s 70 players per day in an alliance if all F2P.

[molten marlin]

will be able to finish the ims maybe, the ams is hopeless at this point

[small narwhal]

Yeah we got just about halfway on the ams

[molten marlin]

will probably fall short by about 3k

[small narwhal]

Two alliances might finish it at most. Our IMS is done.

[molten marlin]

none of ours are going to finish it

hopefully scopely realizes how much of a blunder the scoring is and throws us a bone, doubt it, but after pulling porthos from the first spend event and then putting it in almost impossible ams for most alliances, it just leaves a really bad taste.

[brittle bear]

Scopely must consider the players clowns, since at every event we receive some jokes as a reward...
Only 2.2k from a full pull, even with the server completing all the milestones.

[austere current]

Changing the SLB's back to appease the Mega-Spenders and stiffing everyone in the L51-60 area yet again is ridiculous.

[mortal tundra]

With all milestones and events completed, have 7100/9300 clover coins remaining.
A comp chest with enough to do a single pull or in our case 2200 coins, would eliminate the leftover coins.
Noone wants 7100 clover coins you can not use. 🖖

[brittle bear]

Apparently, scopely loves it...
I have hundreds of useless things stored, that are only occupying space and helping create new bugs and glitches...

[gaunt pulsar]

please could the ticketed events be fixed to have event store tokens? the current weekend's ticketed events have not had event store tokens in them

[thorny glen]

Weekend events for Saint Patrick’s Day were sorry! Especially the borg probes today. I took a week off from the game. Keep it up and I’ll take a permanent brake from this game.

[vocal coral]

when only 2 of the top alliances finish an AMS event it should be pretty darn obvious you're doing something wrong scopely... (you need 21k to finish it)

[granite tundra]

Top alliance can't complete the event on some servers

[hushed portal]

Aww they deleted my comment. Well you still su.ck scopely!!

[vocal coral]

the math works out to having 70 folks complete all 3 free sms events in those 3 days it ran for... in most cases for those who completed it they spent money on extra tickets

[light canyon]

Why this st Patrick’s ticket event for borg probes seems glitched? Been doing it all day and it barely freaken moves that doesn’t seem right at all

[icy marsh]

@wanton copper Did you guys forget this is event arc month? there's zero events that's rewarding event currency right now... (and has been for a couple days i think?) . I mean...seriously? I'm running maybe 1/3 of what I normally get

[deft rain]

Cuz the picture is borg but the text says Swarms. Scopely artdepartment fail, someone cut and pasted wrong

[honest compass]

Read again

[quaint parrot]

First alliance:

"100 players" multiplied by "3 free tickets" multiplied by "100 points for each event" equals to "30.000 points". "Something wrong" about something else, not scopely.

"something wrong" about alliance concept: the day in which scopely will switch from "alliance" concept to "confederation" one in which someone could join and stay only if someone meets some requirements...that day will be a nice day for flame, rage-quit and cake because a piece of cake solves everything according to
Agent K, MIB Division.

[opal river]

Top milestone is useless anyway, it gives 7000 currency and if you do all events and get all milestones you end up with 7100 extra currency after buying 4 boxes.

So the only difference is if you have 7100 or 100 useless currency in your inventory after the event ends.

[broken crystal]

sooo no alliance on our server will finish the AMS? oO

[molten marlin]

None on mine either. Pretty much expect the same across most of the servers. Hopefully they address how ridiculous the scoring system was for it. Needed 71 players to do all of their freebie tickets at minimum.

[quaint parrot]

They have too many players who have quitted the game or who don't play and there are too many alliances with 10 players or under. In my leaderboard there are 25 alliances with 3 players or under

[compact tiger]

Here's our top 10.

[broken crystal]

but... the doggo!

[shadow trellis]

To be honest who actually managed to pull anything good I know I didn’t

[molten marlin]

was able to tier up tuvok and torres to 4 because of it, but that's it, hitting the 5 shards each time

[noble citrus]

I snagged 55 doc shards, alliance mate got 50 t'ana another got 5s and 2s. Seems hit and miss

[scenic flint]

<@&509690795536941056> some more proof that the AMS final milestone was a bit too high.

[brave otter]

Thanks for the useless 7100 loot. Ams, sms, ims all completed. Can you guys do math? Only 2 alliances on my server are completing this AMS aswell.

[scenic flint]

No. It's quite obvious that they can't.

[halcyon goblet]

105er top ally has 16.5k

[rancid furnace]

Indeed. It's 390 probes of level 33 for me at 36. However at 38, you should have a Talios that can do 36 probes. This might be why you have 21.83M as target versus my 6.23M, but that's still an insande amount of 546 probes.

[fresh frost]

There's definitely a Talios ownership flag on the probe event - with Tally gets a much higher milestone, and you need to be hitting higher level targets to do it in a reasonable number of hostiles

depending on ships and milestones, and how busy the systems are, sometimes you can get it done by brute forcing 2-3 of the highest hostiles you can reach 👀

[fossil flare]

Separate G5 and G6 SLB’s. Either way, G6 gets their win with virtually no competition, the only thing that will change is G5 can actually participate again. Do you seriously think there is any point in a G5 participating for a top spot in a combined G5/G6 material spend SLB? At this point, I’m just assuming these combined SLB’s are permanent.

[quaint parrot]

the problem about "AMS event is too difficult to complete" is "players don't manage their alliances well": players who don't play, players who have quitted, players who don't know there is an AMS event. This is the problem. This AMS event is easy to complete if there are enough players but there are not enough players and they are not distributed in order to complete it.

[compact tiger]

Also while we're on the subject: 111 points left in an event where you can only score in 100s.

[crystal cloud]

On S105 none of the Alliances manage to reach the final AMS reward. Maybe even Scopely events should accept that not 100% of the players in an alliance will do 100% of the event? Just my 2 cents, obviously.

[remote badge]

Took me two full runs of the highest ones my Talios can reach (44s)

[limpid galleon]

gather medical test results? and what could that be?

[severe moth]

outstanding question

[round flume]

any clues yet =?

[fervent haven]

Check gifts

[coarse canopy]

ya need to refine samples in refinery...but assuming unless you have Enterprise NX, you're fracked

[limpid galleon]

i found out. this is the stupidest event i ever encountered in this game.
it seems they really want to hound out the last f2p guys here.

@wanton spruce check you gifts, then exchange the probe in the event shop. but unless you're lucky you can wait 8 hours and try again to get some event currency.

[wanton spruce]

care to share?

[subtle oracle]

dear scopey please stop givening us lost hust once a week we do not need amount of voayger skulls drinvng me nuts

[limpid galleon]

hahahahah this is a joke isn't it? xD

[noble citrus]

So by refinery do you mean event store

[jaunty ingot]

servers are getting more quiet for over an arc now, you need to employ people who know how to do events. For example: this current event for mining resources that has 1 node per type on each server. are you trying to make cash for end of the tax year?

[molten ridge]

Nice event store refinery.

[cedar dew]

There have been some new systems in the lower to mid 10s range where you can find critters or missions to get critters.
These can be traded in at the event store ... scroll right until you reach the end.
Thats about all you have to do for this Interspecies Illnesses Event.
Hint: check planets if system looks empty, you can mine some of them 🤣

[gusty robin]

SLB scoring requires spending money or getting lucky with RNG. Can't see a way to just grind out more biological samples.

[subtle oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/wink-eye-wink-gif-12352742718877841322

[high aurora]

What is this event? This is probably the most vague event I've seen in YEARS.

[dawn glacier]

It only gets worse. There's a handful of mining nodes the entire server needs to mine from. Worst event I have seen probably ever.

[high aurora]

There's mining nodes???

[atomic fossil]

this is garbage, scopley

[stiff sleet]

@sterile wharf @earnest harness @old grail Claimed gift. No popup, no mission. Clear localization and rebooting did nothing. Help?

[limpid galleon]

Where are mining nodes? :o

[dawn glacier]

Look at the new areas they added in neutral space in the low ops places. If you haven't explored it before, odds are it's new. 3 have a single mining node, 3 other places have missions to finish for the trade-ins. Odds are all places will be glowing soon since there's a ton of people trying to do the missions and get to 3 nodes.

[light canyon]

Worst event only way to do this event is either buy your tickets or save up tickets not doing the other ticketed events a few times just so you can have enough to complete all the ticketed events to get a blue ticket . Worst crooked event far worse then the Tribble’s event ever was. Despite completing the ticketed events all the time you just can’t never get the blue ticketes to do those without buying it or saving up for.

[pastel cave]

It would be nice if we were told how to gather test results, instead of go gather them. What do we do?

[willow plaza]

Where is tribble? It's my last one

[woven gyro]

@wanton copper Are we going to get time re-alligned for events? I fully appreciate daylight saving time is a pain to deal with, but it's frustrating that only some events are moving.

[coral bane]

What an utter crap event this phlox one.
Totally unclear what to do and how.
And apparently 3 new missions, but again not for the lower levels. Scopely consistently ignores them. Disgusting

[naive grove]

Congratulations scopely, you are managing to deliver a good arc

[willow plaza]

Tribble is verex

[compact tiger]

It refers to a refinery, and then you go to the Event Store.

[cold sandal]

What kind of 💩 is this? 🙄

[left marlin]

Scopely, plz tell us that all these Medical Test Results aren’t just for Events scoring and that we can spend them on something later on. There’s way too much clutter in our Inventory already 🤦‍♂️

[coral bane]

Scopely 💩

[cold sandal]

Unbelieveable- no explanation nor anything at all…🙄

[fluid gust]

you couldn't even disguise how blatantly pay2win this is?

[prisma temple]

#1~~~ I cant free the first mission because i have too many missions banked for rep in my archive....stuck with the new garbage mission event
#2~~~ 141 level 40 hirogen elites to complete BP everytime is rediculas!
#3~~~ if i free a mission that gives me negative rep, do i get compensated the lost rep? quit working for bankers and work for the players pls

[willow coral]

💩 no words to describe the phlox event

[halcyon goblet]

the trick is to save tickets till you have 90, then do it once to earn a blue ticket

[coral bane]

Almost half of the events are purely cc events lately. Scopely doesnt even try to hide their unrelenting greed anymore

[lavish pawn]

If the officers are going to help with events, maybe make sure we know beforehand and don't do it for officers we don't have solid chances to have (such as putting it in a release month with how stingy y'all are with shards)

[prisma temple]

Scopely has been taking my saved tickets the last few months in between weeks......not sure if a they are doing it on purpose or not....but been happening since around xmas

[coral bane]

The lack of possibilities to unlock new officers without hard cash, points at scraply dont want us to actually use them in the first place.

[atomic fossil]

@devs can you get the bat node on server 26 fixed? valakis

[lavish pawn]

More like they want to drive home that they see paying for officers as a cash cow... When an officer or two can make the difference between things being fairly easy or unreasonable such as SNW crewing for probes past 33...

[vocal coral]

hey scopely this is already said about 20x a day but seriously brackets in any SLB with level 50's against level 70's is beyond absurd.. make it 50-54, 54-59, 60-64, 65-70 and it would still be somewhat harder for those at the lower range but dear god it would be 100x better than the current ranges you have ... its lazy and shows how much you're just trying to drive folks to push up or just quit.

[fluid gust]

don't hunt elites, hunt lost.
much easier to punch up, takes just a few kills.

[quaint vessel]

Could we have a PvP event in conjunction with the phlox style event next time the whole server is forced into 3 systems, but just in those systems? The tears and hate mail would be wonderful.

[elder fern]

#⭐-official-announcements message So now that you guys have essentially changed Phlox’s ability AFTER both Recruit Phlox SLB/Heroic SMS events have ended, are you now going to offer a THIRD SLB/Heroic SMS for those who weren’t interested in buying in based on the available information about him? @wanton copper

[tepid wadi]

the milestone for the current event is a joke, there was no indication to not turn in more than two per day

[quasi lintel]

Anybody else seeing the pyrithian bat mine in Valkis failing to reset? Or is that just on our server? (26)

[fluid gust]

on 108 it's being treated as a pvp event.
anyone on the node for more than half a second, and someone attacks.

[prisma temple]

Thank You! forgot those bigger systems were even there lol

[novel mango]

@Eco really? Maybe actually have a good event store and have events that payout more than crumbs and you won’t need to spam GC!

[sweet valve]

If you design 3 days of SMS, but put out a mission->refinery that you can do only once EVER which scores for said events, and then don't explain that you have to only turn in 2 creatures a day to complete the SMSs, that's just all-around horrible design. I'm used to these kind of events with very old hoarded currency, but stuff with one-time currency should be designed so we can complete all SMSs tied to it.

[coral bane]

The spend coin event only had lousy officers as rewards. Not an incentive to spend.
Btw: will the event store change again without any communication?

[solid tangle]

OMG. Could you put even LESS information in the Critters Gallore mission text? I had to search and ask around to even find out WHAT TO DO in the mission. 😡
Oh, and when you write REFINE it's assumed you do that in the REFINERY, NOT in the EVENT STORE!

[oblique basin]

Please can we go back to Rare tickets with set, specified officers rather than these Galactic tokens? Essentially you are asking us to gamble with the events, and from experience these crew gambling events always produce very poor results. It's not worth doing them as they just make us feel screwed over. Bring back Hugh!

[mighty laurel]

1 mining node per type? that's super stingy...

[drowsy vine]

Pew pew!

[signal wraith]

Wait whut

[oblique basin]

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/loot-boxes-in-video-games-update-on-improvements-to-industry-led-protections

Just a little link about how close Scopely are getting to breaching EU gambling laws with this random loot box stuff.

[mystic wing]

this event is bad and you should feel bad

[loud scroll]

The worm node is broken server 31

[buoyant delta]

Overly complicated event for terrible rewards. Waste of time.

[plain cradle]

Anyone else not seeing the missions?

[coral bane]

Same for me. Dont see any of the 3 missions. @wanton copper

[crystal abyss]

I know I keep hoping for some event where we either make use of some of the leftovers or we use the same currency again

[buoyant delta]

Oh I almost forgot, thanks for the 7,100 lucky currency that will rot in my my inventory

[cinder flame]

I know some have already mentioned this, but the Emerald Wonders Event was ridicules! Talk about making an event impossible to accomplish! Only 1 alliance finished it on my server. And the Golden Battle event was brutal! For players who didn't have enough BORG Tokens or a Vidar, they couldn't finish it based on the hostile points. It's sad this years ST Patrick's day event didn't allow most players to earn a themed frame or avatar or even currency for the the current event store. Instead a random draw of officers. Very frustrating and Disappointing Scopely 😡

[tepid wadi]

if you turn in more than two creatures per day you can't finish the SLBs later

[dry mantle]

Putting in the event text about a refinery put a bunch of people on a wild goose chase to find where to "refine" the things for the Critters Galore. But was easily corrected by helpful people in both Global Chat and Alliance Chat.

What was more frustrating is that there effectively 0 hints or clues about where to go to find some of the creatures. I personally was smart and did the mining/missions day 1 when I saw a bunch of new systems at the start of the arc. A bunch of people either didn't realize there was new systems or didn't see the mines/mission planets. So they are left confused about what to even do.

[crystal abyss]

has anyone made a list of systems for the various critters yet

[novel mango]

Waves sucks, it can be a pain to find a group in your own fleet sometimes let alone trying to get into a random one.

[coral bane]

Well, that totally fits in the structural lack of communication from scopely.
They’ll call it ‘as intended’, but never say those intentions before.
They just alter their intentions depending on if they are able to fix a fail or not (i dont think they have that ability anymore)

[tepid wadi]

there's a rule of thumb, if they say what their intention is, you can rule that out as the actual intention
for example, the claim that the daily hostile limit is to counter bots

[plain cradle]

@crystal abyss Xantoras, Dekendi, Valakis, Verex, Vintaak, Tarkalean Crest - These are the systems - I've managed to collect creatures from the first 3, but can't find anything in the last 3 systems

[glad surge]

<@&509691205798592532> Troublemaker.

[molten marlin]

find someone low to pop him

[copper fossil]

Why would you add another useless stock in the inventory where you should be bringing out a mechanic to help us get rid of them old one like players have been asking for years !!! And all of that useless stock just to earn 6K event store currency?

[crystal abyss]

tarkalean Crest you get the item via a mission on offer from one of the planets, its not a mine situation as with the others

[glad surge]

not many that low here

[heavy escarp]

Oooo it's spicy in here

[plain cradle]

@crystal abyss Yeah, I know, but when I go to those systems, the planets have ZERO missions available

[upper glade]

What the **** is it with the medical sample event store???
Get biological samples to exchange in the event store for.....
Biological samples 😆😆😆

[last merlin]

Unable to complete mission... Can't find all the bits.

[upper glade]

Collect samples to exchange for samples?? 😆😆😆😆

Dev team devising new exciting event 🤦‍♂️

[plain cradle]

Can anyone confirm that you're supposed to collect the 3 missions the same way as you would normally collect missions? Because there's no missions showing for me in Verex, Vintaak or Tarkalean Crest (And no, I haven't already claimed them lol)

[scenic flint]

Try restarting?

[manic estuary]

So as far as I can tell this event requires you to search every system in the map for randomly scattered missions/nodes , unless you go to you tube to find out where

[plain cradle]

@scenic flint Yeah, tried that - Closed down the PC App completely (so the launcher checks for updates when I restart) and even switched from PC App to Mobile App - Same

[scenic flint]

Ok. Have you collected the Phlox mission from the gifts as well? That might be requires to "unlock" the missions.

If you have, then I'm out of ideas.

[molten marlin]

The mission under gifts isn't required to unlock the missions, but the missions are required to finish the mission under gifts.

[plain cradle]

@scenic flint Yeah, completed the "Critters Galore" mission that was in the gift section - Just mined the same creature a further 3 times lol

[void light]

Single Node for event was a dumb idea. Server 78 has a Ops level 7 person camping on the mining node. No one can kill him and no one can force him to leave

[sharp abyss]

Is it just me or are these critters not loading after mining them?

[lavish pawn]

Including after recalling the miner?

[rough scarab]

Tried beam killing them?

[dense moth]

Beam is bound to level restrictions

[sharp abyss]

Recalling worked. Not sure why I have to do that but whatever.

[molten marlin]

because they were still in your cargo

[plain cradle]

I've found that you have to mine 1 critter and then return to your base before you mine any more to "transfer them to your refinery"

[left minnow]

Same as us. One freaking node??? This is the most infuriating thing in awhile .

[zenith acorn]

The lvl7 moved off the node then back on 🤦‍♀️

[coral bane]

You might have done that mission earlier? Was the case for me

[frosty acorn]

Congratulations on the most underwhelming rewards for a quest ever 👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻

[fast pumice]

where in the refinery do i refine those samples?

[buoyant delta]

Event store tab

[crude arch]

What were you guys smoking when coming up with this absolute trash of an event?

[small raft]

It's an Easter egg hunt what's wrong with it?

[cursive ginkgo]

our servers lagest alliance has taken to sitting on the nodes to block other from completing the missions.

[half flare]

Appreciate the event variety today with the Phlox missions. Entertaining, but not worth my time in retrospect for one purple shard worth of event store loot. 😒

[fluid gust]

event store has the refinery

[vagrant arrow]

One node for each thing is a bit stupid when each server has so many players.

[restive lotus]

An "illness" event. How many players have issues where this game is supposed to be a distraction from their ailments and problems?? Our server had 3 vigils just in the past couple of weeks. How tone-deaf of scopely. Sadists. And a bs event at that. Once again, idiocy.

[fluid gust]

lucky rolls on the refines, they may give back multiple samples.

[fast reef]

need to add more of these event nodes this is ridiculous

[finite stirrup]

RE: the critter refining has nothing to do with Refinery. You do it in the Event Store under the Icon Interspecies Illnesses and the sub-items. One for each critter and some others. No one I know of has found the Osmotic eel yet, or the mission to get one.

[fluid gust]

some low levels tried camping on the nodes days ago to spoil the event.

good thing on my server i had a low level account with which i could evict the troll.

[fast reef]

we also have a low lvl troll camping oneof the nodes

[dusk gyro]

Would it be possible to do understandable events and not things where you have to guess what to do and how or spend two hours finding the solution?

[vagrant topaz]

#1042855078761091072 message

[finite stirrup]

Info on the Phlox Event. Systems are "New" and blue where you do things. Vintaak, Mission, gets you the Osmotic Eel. Xantoras, mine a planet to get Lysarian Desert Larvae, Valakis, mine a planet to get Pyratilian Bad, Dekendi, mine a planet to get Immunocylic Gel Worm, Tarkalean Crest for Mission that gets you a tribble, Xyrilla, new System but don't remember anything from there. Planet full of player stations. Verek, Mission, gets the last critter, a Blood Worm I think.. To complete the Event there are 3 Missions and 3 planet minings. Be careful in mining the planets. If someone is already on one, the button will say "Attack" for you rather than "Mine it" and you might attack someone and kill of get killed. In one case it said "Mine it" but someone else got one it before the other player and the other player attacked and killed them. There was, as far as I remember, no "Safety Warning" asking if you really want to attack this player.

[vagrant topaz]

and 2 more SMS - next 2 days - hope you only used 2 creatures today…

[hollow flicker]

Just the opposite here, 60+ parking on nodes with thier biggest warships to prevent peeps from doing. When the games biggest whale is a jerk scopely does nothing to make the event playable. Why punish the person who drops 1000$ evey other week.

[vocal coral]

That's cute... you think they're only spendin 1k a week 😂

[hollow flicker]

They bragged about it... lol. Can only state what they say
But. You know......

[sharp lark]

So we have an SLB and ALB that's largely down to random chance? Yeah, cause THAT'S an improvement over the rest of this BS arc. 🙄

[calm niche]

Should we pull all 6 creature refines on the 1st day? Will there be 6 different each day?

[gaunt pulsar]

1 planet in a system that everyone has to take turns mining on for the medical results. why do you keep making these ridiculous decisions scopely? PLEASE STOP DOING THESE THINGS

[delicate raven]

Please stop breaking up events into multiple 1 day repeats (I'm looking at you Interspecies Illness SMS) when the other parts of the event are 3 days. There's no good reason for this.

[warm cave]

is there any use for Medical Test Results other then the SLB/ALB points

[storm mica]

Why only 2 phlox spend events? Why do you constantly change patterns players are getting used to?

[obsidian quiver]

Ok Team Scopley. Lets think about having only 1 node to mine the critters. When an extreemely low level player decides to sit on the node and no one is able to boot him off what do we do if we want to play the game and finish the event.

[coarse prairie]

Okay, so why were we not told that of the SIX critters, we needed to refine TWO per day for sms? That little tidbit wasn’t shared until 6 hours into the event…

[molten marlin]

you don't need them, but it will help. You get 1 biological sample every 8 hours.

[vast basin]

Which is not enough to guarantee enough points for the SMS, assuming it's same as the first one and nothing gets added. If you used all critters, completion of next events will be based on your luck. On average I think you will get enough but you can get unlucky rolls.

[hidden tinsel]

is there a compensation, because we are not able to claim the Phlox-eventstuff, you can claim every 8 hours and not be able due to the downtime? 😄

[vale plover]

Phlox event is/was very dissapoited like with Asian girl. I had/have no idea what to do cause there is no description. So I had again to ask other guys what to do. Please tryptophan fix all of this problems…

[dawn glacier]

People are utilizing level 14 alt accounts to block the single mining node available of the Phlox event. As they are level 14 there isn't a way to remove them from the nodes. Mining events, without a large amount of available nodes, should never be a thing. Otherwise 3 level 9 ops ships can stop the entire event.

[molten marlin]

make an account yourself and knock em off it

[versed grotto]

Can't attack under level 15

[molten marlin]

when on a mining node you can, and actually ship pvp begins at 10, but you can knock off a node before that. stations hits start at 15.

[empty badger]

Give me my other SMS in the next two days for critter!!!!!!!

And the stuff to Refine it!!!

BTW, why there is no one is talking about HOW SMALL the Event Credits scopely give to us during this arch 😡😡😡😡

Can't afford to unlock epic officers yet other stuff..

[hidden tinsel]

we were talking about this a lot, but scopely keeps ignoring as usual 😉

[icy marsh]

Remember, we aren't doing quantity anymore. So that means fewer stuff!

[queen verge]

When will we have a new event of the Commanders and the "Command Center" building while they were regular, nothing since the beginning of January.... it's ugly to have to wait at this point

[golden kiln]

Thank you guys so much for adding more armadas. I know that’s what the player base was clamoring for.

[modern patio]

lol, you could have been more direct and just told everyone to suck it.

[vagrant topaz]

Or ask some low lvl players on your server, they obviously exist

[warm cave]

well, this is one armada event i'll be sitting out. solo's dont count and the SMS isrediculous

[boreal coyote]

its the never ending story..... I really like how combos of epics and rares dont match rewards tiers.... it's like it's on purpose 😀

[unreal coral]

new armada event talks about stopping xindi final weapons - which are uncommon and rare variants only.... and the scoring for event is for rare and epic directives? like duh!???

[low shoal]

Is this armada event your idea of what is going to make up for the lack of event store loot so far? If it is it is a terrible idea. You all are way out of touch with the players. While I appreciate the opportunity to earn loot I am not asking to be in the game 24hours each day. This has been the worst end of arc event store ever. So I don’t need a lot of loot but there is always opportunity to spend on officers.

[dark horizon]

NOPE, didnt do it last time, not going to touch it this time

[warm cave]

You come out with a prime that lets you run multiple armadas at once. You launch an SMS for armadas that only scores for 1 type of armada. Seems like your event goes against your cash grab money prime. Marketing and events need to talk to each other

[high aurora]

Solo Armadas don't count. Way to paywall event store loot behind rare and epic armadas.....Come on Scopely...this is bad....

[hidden tinsel]

whats even the point of a description, when you exclude vital information like "WHAT" Armadas do count, and what armdas do NOT count

[atomic fossil]

Guess I'm out the next two days of sms bc there was a poor attempt to communicate how this event series works, eh? (Re: medical test results)

[boreal coyote]

all of my dailies, a double pull on mantis and a s31 purchase get me to 45K. I have the same bracket good times... also the s31 pull is a rip

[ocean crypt]

armada hunt needs specified as to what counts and what does not, and i don't mean rare and epic, but which types of armadas

[visual helm]

Ask yourself one question: Are the directives for the specific type of armada you are thinking of easy to come by? If the answer is yes, rest assured, that they won't count for the SMS.

[odd dock]

Shouldnt this be tagged HEROIC?

1 pull per 8hr cd ... thats 300k points a day ... if you didnt save any

[maiden moat]

I’m sorry scopely, but you’re out of your mind if you think 60,000 event store currency/10 epic officer shards are worth doing 33 rare armadas, 18 epic armadas, or some combination of the two.

[lethal jasper]

nice to know any epic or rare armada doesnt count.... 😦 what kind of armadas score, Scopely? lol

[native basalt]

is this an early april fools?

[fresh frost]

I'd assume FKR normally

[visual helm]

"Don't you guys have bank accounts?"

[rough scarab]

I take it ur 51+

[warm cave]

least they could do is give us half points or even 1/4 points for using solo armadas.

[sweet valve]

Yup. Seems like every single day this arc has been a bad design decision after another.

[lusty bear]

thats a "cool" new event to finally be able to gather some event currency... what kind of armadas do count and where to get the rare and epic directives? I'm level 29 btw.

[high aurora]

Event store loot locked behind an armada event that is locked behind rare and epic fkr which is locked behind directives people don’t have. Also, it’s a huge grind. Another tone deaf fail by Scopely

[split frigate]

Medical illness, thank you, exactly what the event is like, sorry but I don't have a magic glass ball to know beforehand I have to spread the medical test results over three SMS, nice new event 🙈

[spare island]

Wait what

[warm cave]

This is actually the first event calendar i've stopped checking because the event cycle this arc is absolutely terrible. They could have dropped in a surprise fobrriden Tech upgrade event/slb and/or a surprise FC upgrade event/slb and people would be thrilled today. Instead they drop an armada event 30 days after the end of the Valentines day armada event. No one wants to do that grind again

[trail adder]

Armada Hunt event is not scoring. I ran 2 Borg rares and 2 Borg epic armadas,no score. The event does not specify an armada type so it is implied any rare or epic armada should score. I would not have run these had the event excluded Borg armadas. Please fix the scoring or compensate me fairly.

[vocal coral]

you are new here ?

[trail adder]

Been playing 5 years

[odd dock]

it has no restriction in the info, but only FKR score

[green mica]

What absolute idiot decided to do an event that couldn't be completed unless you waited to score but didn't give any indication about it waiting to score?

[spring lantern]

Wth is this? To finish new mada event (all reward tiers) a player would have to call 33 rares and spend 495 minutes of wait time without speeding them up. Quality over quantity....right...tone deaf doesn't even cover it anymore

[vocal coral]

Then you should know they don't freaking care right ?

[warm cave]

I mean your argument on wait time is why the event is over 5 days. So of all the arguments, that one is pretty much pointless. Now the requiring 33 FKR rares without that being in the description. That's the argument you should lead with and rally cry with

[valid shale]

I had a whole 3 samples for a 3 chest and didn't even make first milestone got 1 back...

[hidden tinsel]

it could have been an AMS event but as it is a SMS you even need 33 FKR per player!!

[odd dock]

you forgot to add only starts count, participation doesnt count

[spring lantern]

8 hours of actual wait times over 5 days which is in fact not pointless, its ridiculous imo

[trail adder]

I've been compensated every single time I have proven error. Screen shot holds the proof.

[vocal coral]

He obviously led with the 33 rare calls but the wait time is still pretty absurd even split over 5 days its an 100minutes (almost 2h) a day of running madas ...

[little flint]

So… if I did all the Phlox mission things and event store claims yesterday, that means I can’t complete the event today? Is there another source of scientific samples that I’m not aware of?

[late orchid]

So how are we supposed to complete the new illness sms if weve already turned in all the animals in yesterday? Cmon scopley try to review content before you release it...

[last lance]

Scopleys reply to this would be something like " Have you just tried not being poor?"

[icy marsh]

We are screwed. Thanks scopely for not giving any proper instructions how to have done this

[odd dock]

what you talking about, theres hundreds of players still waiting on compensation for issues/errors/bugs. you must be new here lol.

[warm cave]

move on, its not happening and there are real issues going on now affecting everyone.

[vocal coral]

in 5 years this one will still be here posting the same pic all by themselves

[olive spear]

Must need lot of effort to design every event totally useless.

[vocal coral]

They're not designed to be useful... they're designed to make folks spend money and there's nothing wrong with that if they actually offered an experience worth spending said money.

[earnest thunder]

It would be nice if you could redeem the tokens for the St Patrick's event for a longer period of time 🍀🙄

[dense tapir]

Should Epic not score more points than Rare? I don’t get the logic.

[ocean crypt]

fkr not scoring, formation not scoring

[hidden tinsel]

you have to spend 500 instead of 200 so you get much more points 😉

[drowsy grove]

Whats w/ the 600pt shortage w/ todays bp ms

[trail solar]

We killed one u53. It gives me about 4% of what I need to open an armada box. You get one start every week. Thanks for nothing as usual.

[hidden tinsel]

@wanton copper are you guys even listening to our complains or is it just some kind of annoying white noise of us poor peasants you keep ignoring?

[untold kiln]

How stupid is this Phlox event... no clue how to find the medical Tests... What are the guy from Scople thinking... that i hack the game to get the informations?

[trail solar]

they dont, better rate game 0 on playstore, stop spending and send complaints.

[lethal sparrow]

Wow unreachable goals anyone this armada hunt is ridiculous way to go Scopely! seems like they want to lose all players!

[unreal coral]

you're not supposed to do all milestones

[sterile lance]

so scopley assume we're mind readers, go grab the species yesterday to claim all and not it appears that we should have spaced them out and now can't complete today's SMS..

[vagrant topaz]

Server126 has an Armada event u say u score with starting a rare or epic armada so why does eclipse not score or solo u are not mentioning only F K R rare and epics count but in the how to Earn points u say Score in this event by spending rare and Epic Armada directives

[elfin nest]

Armada hunter event should also score uncommon. Scopely is making it difficult to get event store currency.

[vagrant topaz]

this a money making exercise from new owners they need to recoup the 1 billion they spent on a game that is broken and loosing players faster than they can pump oil

[novel totem]

<@&509690795536941056> So, I started a 53 UC Xindi armada, and joined one. This is the looot I got. Opening one chests costs about 6 times what the armadas paid so far. You get one start per week. So Do I open this chest once every 2 months?

This feels a bit like game design (or whoever is responsible) dropped the ball once again, introducing a feature that is just pointless. It would even feel better if you would give out 1/6th of the rewards but be able to open the chests more frequently.

I already chose to not participate in silent hostiles since 55s and 57s spawn in the same system. I see you hold true on your promise by releasing less content, however I fail to see the quality improvements that you already mentioned recently.

[heavy escarp]

Wait.. you're only allowed 1 xindi armada start per week? That doesn't sound right....

[sweet valve]

I’ll tell you what, with that loot you couldn’t even open the single pull at ops 49 which is 600k. 1.8 mil for the 2 chest

[novel totem]

UC starts are 1000 and Rare starts are 5000 - so maybe they got some 0s wrong I don't know

[heavy escarp]

Well it costs 1000 to start but I guess, yea... if you f2p, you will only get 1 start a week. Unless they source directives another way.. they definitely want you to buy all the packs

[fiery forge]

They definitely got some zeroes wrong, they think every player earns 1m a year

[hidden tinsel]

we should all go on a strike and not buy ingamestuff for a month or so - lets see how fast scopely will listen to complaints 😉

[coral bane]

We all shouldnt buy any ingame stuff anymore. Ever

[novel totem]

5 UC starts are 49,99 those starts might get you to one chest. If you look at the contents - the 49,99 are spent somehwere else better

[mild moth]

They can shove their packs for the new Armadas where the sun can no longer reach them. I would have to start 8-10 to open a chest. 100 euros for one opening. Definitely not.

[novel totem]

contents of a 63 UC chest pull - at least a 63 guy on our discord posted it.

[unreal coral]

I like the xindi armada chests concept, however I think the effort / time vs reward is off - feels like trying to get jaylah shards all over again - note how no one bothers doing swarm armadas. I feel you've launched something that is of interest, but killed in execution, just like Elite Faction recruit packs and the aforementioned swarm armadas

[last lance]

And starbase assaults....DOA

[muted obsidian]

Be nice if events actually said what's eligible ie eclipse doesn't count

[silk axle]

Why are there no clues available to find where to go for the Interspecies Illness even? Gather medical test results is as vague as you can get.

[craggy iron]

Would really be nice if these events weren't so lame. The rewards offered for the amount of time or money put into them are sad. And the chance part of our token chest pulls for the Dr Phloks flop event is a bit letdown you guys are really turning this game into a joke

[hollow canyon]

Oh let me add a few other things

• cardasian armada's
• Starbase fight concept
• exchange token space Mining size
• mining (incl. the size) in silent token space
• effort / benefit of the heavy waves
• Borg Cube grind
• officer sourcing of the new rare officers of the last few month
• incursion effort / benefit

I am sure if I take time to think about it I find more....

[sinful canopy]

Use to enjoy STFC but it is getting to the point they only care about those that can/or are willing to spend thousands on a game that is buggy and crashes a lot. What about the f2p and light spenders that like to play the game should they not count too?

[viral kayak]

See #💬-general-feedback message

[spring umbra]

So level 48-50 only get 250 directives per week, but event scoring is same?

[molten marlin]

They're meant for 51+

[regal lagoon]

50 milestones 1,200 per. Total 60k loot, which 10 epic shards. 10 epic shards for 18 epic Armada stars. You have got to be kidding me.

[ocean crypt]

the only pilots reaching stage 1 of syndicate progression will be the buyers of syndicate points, totally unrealistic for the majority of players

[mint ibex]

For the Phlox event, having one node of each species is ridiculous. There’s an ops 20 sitting on one of ours that no one in our alliance is low enough to hit.

[light canyon]

Truly this phlox event I find worse then Tribble’s at least with Tribble’s you knew how to do this . I know I had already refined 6 yet it says different worst event ever with no clear direction or anything far worse then any of the cancelled events of the past 5yrs

[light canyon]

#AdaminSF yeah except one thing common and uncommon doesn’t count since all they want is rare and epic anymore and sourcing them has been so screwed up that they still haven’t fixed it back to the way it was

[hollow stone]

What they really need to do is revamp armada electives for rare and epic. I appreciate how it's done with eclipse armadas as it has a consistent and doable flow... reasonably paced and spread out very well... conform regular armadas to shadow that, and i think it would make things more viable. Getting 2 to 4 rare directives as a reward is a joke.

[light canyon]

#Raxian armadas used to be done like eclipse and solo armadas, but they screwed that up for fkr a long time ago and never fixed and have no desire to put it back to how it originally was done since they love forcing people to buy for $100 to just barely be able to do 1 armada. MMO used to be nice and about bringing people together not about money but scopley and all these people that believe buying their way to top is gaming when in fact it’s not.

[light canyon]

Let me guess the stupid armada event of requiring rare and epic is only fkr armadas despite it only saying armadas which fyi indicates any armada , but as usual scopley to stupid to know how to word things correctly. Who yall think have any rare or epic? Since yall screwed up the regular armada rewards sourcing these have been next to impossible. The only ones that can do this stupid event is the 10% that actually pay

[mild glacier]

Did scopely get super greedy with the syndicate event milestones? I usually get 3 steps with the amount of points I put in, not even halfway to the first now.

[short pier]

It increases with your ops level

[gentle veldt]

So after doing the math at ops 58 it would take 300m uc credits of the xindi armadas to get enough directives to do 1 rare chest And on uc 53s you get about 200k per armada So you have to run 1500 53 uc to do 1 rare. It takes 25 uc chest refines in store to get the directives for 1 rare

[gentle veldt]

Also to add the cooldown on the directives for the uc is 7 days. So even with a 100 player alliance and you joined all 100 it would take 15 weeks to get enough for a rare Almost 4 months

[small narwhal]

It doesn’t depend on ops afaik. Everyone has the same milestones.

[trim gazelle]

wow, what are they gonna do with all those ship parts?
I mean, that's like 1% of one uprade... how can they just add that to the economy wily-nily.... outrage.

[molten marlin]

Yes, same milestone for all ops. And yes they've increased the milestones and have continued to every time it comes out. Most likely because of the new artifact and being able to pull syndicate rep with event currency

[queen hearth]

phlox event sucks.

[honest crane]

Xindi Armada had great potential but execution is well below Scopely's usually low standards. I am usually optimistic but seriously whomever designed the rewards and resourcing should be fired. Not going to do it....not going to spend the money

[ebon tide]

@wanton copper are we getting compensation for servers going down a SECOND time during a timed pulled event? Getting ridicules

[simple widget]

Hooray for another event where scopely seems to forget that people have jobs. I have no chance of finishing this phlox sms for today

[uncut cloud]

So, why a merger during a territory pass? Also, will you be giving us the rest of the territory pass rewards since it's going to interfere with completion? Especially for us who have the dumb premium.

[lavish basalt]

Just my two cents @wanton copper but I’d rather pay my mortgage payment than complete the sms’s this week. 😉

[hybrid marsh]

You need to change the run rares and epics. To run only fkr rares and epics in armada event. Cause no other armada score for it.

[hollow sundial]

So, is it intentional that you get exactly 1 uncommon Xindi start per week? Or is the cost of 1000 directives 900 directives too high? 😉

[empty badger]

How can I finish this Stoopid SMS?????

[empty badger]

Because you guys scopely made a blunder on announcement, we are the one who can't finish our event --- you should give us compensation!! At least compensation to FINISH THIS EVENT !!!!....

You REDUCE our event currency credits, you give tons of new stuff that is not working!!

Don't iGNORE us players.. just because we are Free to play players... There is NO game if there is NO one is playing the game !!!! There is NO WHALE player if there is NO other player to play with...

[odd dock]

scopely promised to deliver quality (retain higher % of whales) over quantity (get rid of all the f2p)

think that mission is becoming quite clear, only a lot of whales are leaving too. cant stop the bleeding with a plaster when its an entire leg thats been cut.

this is feedback, therefore i dont need to offer a solution/suggestion. lol

[sinful heart]

If you did, they would just make it a 100$ prime anyway 🙄

[scenic flint]

<@&509690795536941056> so despite doing at least 6 small pulls and 5 bug pulls, I'm still short of the final milestone and there isn't enough time to get another pull.

Maybe perhaps Scopely shouldn't design an SMS based purely on luck?

[tough perch]

There's ur feedback

[icy marsh]

How were you able to do 5 big pulls? I can't even do one. Got 3 out of 5 small pulls that had zero of the blue pucky thing

[tough perch]

That was the pure luck part

[lethal jasper]

I have enough to finish it in my next pull (I think), but I cant do my next pull until 2 hours after the event ends. feels like a set up to fail unless you got lucky and were able to start it right away.

[cosmic olive]

The trick was to save each of three mission rewards for one of the three daily SMS.

[scenic flint]

It was pure luck. I think I had 4 samples and did the triple small pull and got back 4 or 5 samples to do the big pull.

[deft wren]

ThIs Is nOt a HeRoIc EvEnT

[scenic flint]

That is dumb. I personally needed st least 4 of those creature turn ins to complete the first day's event as I wasn't lucky with the samples that first day.

I do like the idea behind the event. But it was poorly executed, just like everything else Scopely does with this game. I wonder why I even play it at this point.

[vagrant topaz]

Seems scopely have got things mixed up was it not less content less online time now they have more content even more online time plus a Armada for lvl 51plus what about something for the below 50 just for them no Vips whales potential or wannabe whales can join in fact why are they even allowed to join anything below ops55

[hidden tinsel]

its totally random - if you are lucky, you win, if not, you lose. thats the whole concept of this event 🙂

[brazen merlin]

The cool down on my event is 8 minutes after event reset. And why does event giving the "token currency" always seem sketchy. I have a job but would gladly support STFC but without that job no money for scopely. Consider this you cockwombles

[tropic pagoda]

Pretty disengenous to mask a heroic event and then play it off as "Oh you're either lucky or your aren't" 🙄

[spring lantern]

Pretty sure at this point there isn't an arc developer or debugger on staff. It's just a board member hitting up chatgp and inputting "how to increase revenue short term regardless of consequences" then "write me a program update to do that"

[hidden tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/birthday-day-let-down-sad-bad-day-celebrate-gif-6086793

[pearl elk]

Armada event is not scoring again. Any attempts to put a ticket in are being squashed, too! Any rares and epics in the Armada event description must be wrong.

[supple surge]

Exceptional use of the term "cockwomble". I award you 2 points....

[whole frost]

armada hunt in current event... fkr only? no parameter's given, so would think Exchange rare's and epic's would copunt.. but this nis not the case??

[fading hemlock]

Nope, it's the standard armada's only like FKR/Cardassean.

[zenith wing]

parameters are the name of the directive

[potent umbra]

I didn’t think devs could make gameplay worse after past two updates. 🤦‍♂️. I was wrong 😑

[topaz igloo]

Has anyone figured out to "refine" biological material to finish the mission? There is no place in my refinery or in my base building to build one.

[chilly sequoia]

Event store

[woven crystal]

The test results event 2 days in a row? The players deserve better.

[dim hare]

We should build a memorial channel to honor those that could not bear it anymore and gave up on the game... Name, server, level... Who knows maybe $copley would finally listen the those that remain.... ROFL who am I kidding, they still wouldn't...

[idle breach]

Where did data disappear?

[jaunty ingot]

Ent-E crew only for 5 days, it cycled to voyager now

[halcyon goblet]

tetryons and this new event... 'nuff said

[oak crescent]

What's with the non-heroic, impossible-to-complete-without-spending events this month? Between the Borg event, the illnesses SMS (unless you happen to get lucky pulls), and now the cloaking event, that makes 3 so far.

[light canyon]

Why is this not acknowledging my refining in the last two days? I refined yesterday and today a few times and this has not increased any since the initial 3 I got on day one. That ain’t right

[jaunty ingot]

no profesional in this business would make an event like these. Its like the marketing/accounts department are making events. Quality over Quanity, a polished turd is still a turd.

[light canyon]

Where is the Cerritos events? It is wensday which is the Cerritos weekly event day.

[drifting jackal]

Will probably be up in 3min

[spring lantern]

,This "have to pay" crap is getting old real quick (cloaking and yesterdays BP only being non pay event)

[dim hare]

#shutupandspend

[slender current]

I don't have the new careeer advancement event. I restarted, repaired install, everything. No event and spending event currency doesn't score.

[unreal coral]

the final career advancement if available is for those who scored top 25 in one of the previous 3 rounds

[brazen merlin]

hang on.... cloak event need 100 kills @ 10 per kill to finish event... lol. Very strange this 2024 with reduced quality events but getting more quantity of poor quality

[lusty bear]

What kind of scam is this game? I'm level 29. How may I be able to do events, with being cloaked? Is there a cloaking refit for a kumari, Franklin, Dvore? Why are the only things I can acquire event currency with, doing stuff I'm not able to do? If you want to motivate new players to play this game, you should make sure, to give them a little chance to be part of the arc... I'm not able to do dozens of rare or epic armadas and I cannot kill while being cloaked. This is a joke or what?

[coral bane]

Scopely deliberately is neglecting the lower levels for years now. They absolutely do not care whatsoever about the gameplay experience of those players. They only care about big spending whales.
Anything other told to you by scopely or their affiliates is a plain lie

[lusty bear]

This seems to be a very dumb tactic. Even drug Dealers know, that you can get a lot more new customers, by giving them "free samples" to get them hooked. What I experience right now is the opposite. It seems scopely already has enough money and does not want new players so they frustrate them away...

[jaunty ingot]

When the game is repackaged/rebranded/released Scopely will not be running it. this isnt a mobile game, its an MMO and I have never experienced such bad communication or customer care in my long online gaming life.

[cinder flame]

All these events that we can't complete without buying a pack and that lower lvls can't even participate in are very frustrating to your players (customers).

Let me remind you of Ferengi Rule of Acquisition 43: Feed your greed, but not enough to choke it.

The more pay to play events you add, the more you will frustrate your customers and drive them away.

[fluid gust]

it counts creatures, not samples.

you get 3 from missions in new low level systems, and 3 more from mining the planet in 3 of the other new systems.

[woeful lion]

i dont have Federation cloaks.

[lusty bear]

@wanton copper @full swan do you guys even read this channel?

[quiet shale]

2/3 of the faction ships at lv 26 have cloaks.

[full swan]

We do, but I'm still getting up to speed on this server. Will be much more present next month.

[lusty bear]

Sure, I can farm like 2 million kingon reputation, because I was stupid enough to make the decision to start with the only non cloaking faction. then buy 80 d3 blueprints. That's only around 10k Klingon credits. I'm not sure what the cloaking refit parts cost. But should be fine, I mean í have 4 days... That's plenty of time 😄

[last lance]

Dont trip over the cloak event. Rewards are meh anyways. And remember....you do not have to do every event that pops ups. Scopley is going to relese stuff you can not do becuase of your level, your ships, your research...whatever it may be. Be ok with it....becuase its going to happen.

[fluid gust]

at your level you should have access to D3, legionary, bortas, centurion, and discovery as cloaking ships.
discovery is a "special" ship with premium cloak, but D3, legionary, centurion, and bortas are faction ships with cloaking available through the faction store.

and you should always do double faction, easier to maintain doable dailies.

[fluid gust]

i don't know what level you are, but most federation ships do not support cloaking.
the earliest is the enterprise, and until G6 only epic federation ships will have cloaking.
if you want cloaking earlier or on a cheaper ship you need to get a klingon or romulan ship.

[fluid gulch]

Armada Hunter rewards aren’t working. I’ve rebooted multiple times and it keeps trying to reward me, but there are no items and I just have to close it out. My event store currency is not increasing either.

This reward screen keeps popping up

[mellow turtle]

I haven’t got all day to read existing feedback, but let me tell you a story called “xindi armadas - why are you making it so ops 57+ won’t play them? Cmon Scopely, think about it!” - some of you might have heard it before…. My friend - let’s call him Keith. He is ops 53, he only needs 800k to pop the chest - it’s ok, he gets together with his mates they run one each, sweet - he can pop his chest weekly, all is good…. Now let’s meet Poor Old Brian. Things don’t work out for Brian very often. Still, he is ops57 on stfc so that’s one thi… WHAT?!?!? TWELVE POINT EIGHT MILLION?!?! Sort it out Scopely, it’s genuinely one of the most ridiculous things you’ve ever done

[agile trout]

scopelys math- event is not completable without getting a cloak

[molten marlin]

you got the rest of today and 3 days after that, your daily claim will finish it

[haughty dew]

So much for quality over quantity, one terrible arc after the other.

[agile trout]

i pulled my chest after cloaking and received 70 tectrons. event is 4 days long and that 650 score is counting the 70 from pulling the tectrons. 70x 3 remaining chest pulls is 210. add 30 for the kills. that is 240 and my remaining amount is 350.

[vocal coral]

So not budging on this absurd 1 xindi uncmada per week ?

[wanton sail]

@wanton copper I agree with him

[queen kindle]

There is additional sourcing from the event store and exborg faction.

[agile trout]

um…gunna have to say that the tectron sourcing in event store is a joke. i am not behind the curve in bajoran faction

[molten marlin]

the favor just increases your max amount, not how much you receive

[last lance]

What....3600 in event store currency to cloak one time.....yea....seems fair.

[queen kindle]

This is the one in the exborg store. It's fairly cheap too.

[agile trout]

appreciated. lots of new content and didn’t know about that. disagree about the cheap part, but good enough. so much new grind 😂. thank you

ya…i take that back. the ship fuel just gave me a bunch of ceritos fuel…not tectrons. that chance should be replaced with a guarantee. thanks for trying

[icy marsh]

This is incredibly expensive for a CHANCE at a small amount of tetryons...

[queen kindle]

Yeah, they brought it up that it was only a chance of tets. Didn't catch that before.

[agile trout]

was good effort, scopely just are a bunch of cheap ***** when it comes to rewards….because quantity over quality

[queen hearth]

these. events. suck.

[vale plume]

7 days cooldown for the Xindi-armadas? Really? 😡

[vocal coral]

needs to get addressed... otherwise its just yet another cash grab to get whales to spend more...

[brittle bear]

Really? And how about it, it's a bad joke after another...
Ten weeks for a f2p call one rare xindi armada.

[haughty dew]

U said it right. One bad joke after another. Quality over quantity in 2024 my ***. I'm ops 59 and I STOPPED spending this month. Period. Don't need to reward this poor game design anymore.

[warm cave]

<@&509690795536941056> I would like to give you all props on event communication. Up until this week you guys have been highly involved. I just wish you'd show the same level of compassion and communication with the negative feedback. You seem to only make yourselves known when something positive is going on and go completely radio silent when the community is unhappy. Especially when issues are pointed out like lack of detail on armada event. The event has been live about 34hours at the time of this point and it still says "Spend 'rare aramda' and 'epic armada' directives. Implying that any score. You ask for us community to be constructive with our feedback. I ask you live up to the promises you've made about better communication. Or does your promises fall flat when you see negative feedback as a result of poor, incomplete or incorrect instructions from events?

[queen kindle]

Going forward you should expect that armada directive types are explicitly written in the scoring card. The name used is an exact match for what scores. This should ensure that events are standardized, and clear. If you see any deviation from this, I'd post in the #👾-bug-reporting channel.

[visual helm]

The frustrating part is, that at a lower to mid sized OPS levels you simply HAVE to buy a new cloak (which you most likely won't ever use) or buy additional tetryons in the event store (which completely negates the actual use of the SMS --> pay north of 40k for tetryons to earn 12k duh...). This is not fun.

[woeful lion]

oh i never realized that fed ships dont have cloak 😬

i just got 10 extra medical test results from the chest pull but cant use it due the timer. can you remove it ty

[patent star]

I really dislike this biological samples event. I've repeatedly gotten screwed by the RNG and gotten nothing back in return. I currently have no samples and have no way to generate more.

[hidden tinsel]

you can claim one every 8 hours 😉

[delicate latch]

I could do it in 29 kills, though I got the full 1,000 from finally getting my first cloaking refit.

[delicate latch]

@coral bane I'm level 29 as of a week or so ago and unlocked the D3 cloaking earlier today. Keep grinding faction reputation to get the first faction ships. Keep doing missions and away teams for away team credits to buy the ship blueprints, reputation and faction credits to unlock and buy the cloaking refits. If you don't want to wait on getting the credits to buy them, you can spend refined latinum to buy the remaining credits needed to buy the refit shards.

[delicate latch]

"Sure, I can farm like 2 million kingon reputation, because I was stupid enough to make the decision to start with the only non cloaking faction." The first mission you can access that rewards faction reputation gives Klingon reputation. Fairly early into the Klingon missions you can do some missions testing the D3 Class for them and get some blueprints for it. Guess what ability the D3 Class can have unlocked from a refit?

[flint geyser]

4 shards short of picard, and nop you have changed the officers, which I already have 💩

[delicate latch]

I just unlocked my first cloak and I can get 120 tetryons just from killing 2 lvl 29+ players or hostiles while cloaked for the daily events, then also factor in tetyons spent to cloak for points rewarded.

[lusty bear]

thats good for you - so you made the desicion, to focus on Klingons for the first faction to level up. I happen to make a different desicion. And now I get punished by Scopely not being able to do a event.

But the point is still: The event are not "universal". You have to meet specific condition to participate. But in this case, its not just a specific OPSlevel but a decision you made in the beginning. I did nothing wrong, I just chose wrong.

But being able to chose like that, and then creating events like that. (imho) is a sign for bad event-planning not for stupid n00bs choosing the wrong faction 😉

[warped turret]

Need to extend the biological samples hand in in the Event Store for a few hours after the claimable timer in Gifts ends, else with RNG we could end up with a bunch we can’t turn in.

[delicate latch]

"I happen to make a different desicion." Key word here is "I," not Scopely. You are shirking penalty on Scopely for you're decision not to go for the faction they push you towards before even reaching level 10 or even working to dual or tri faction. I am still working to get the last 3.some million points to lock Klingons before working to dual-faction then tri-faction. I didn't play the way many others do to get the uncommon and rare ships besides the Botany Bay by late level 28. I only got the Jellyfish, USS Franklin, North Star, USS Discovery, and D3 Class because of the current Battle Pass while many others had them since the level they unlock with the Shipyard and I was still able to complete the event despite being ages behind everyone else. *Forgot I also finally got the Ferengi D'Vor not long before this BP started.

[untold jackal]

"I MUST WIN INTERNET ARGUMENTS" is hilarious to me.

[lusty bear]

I'm glad, this all works out for you.

Still: its not a limitation by somthing there should be a limit on (like OPS-Level), or what you can change in the amount of time, the event runs. So its a bad event. Thats all. Guess you would not argue like that, if the limitation was "You need a Saladin to participate" 😉

[delicate latch]

From what I recall the events with Saladin only have using the Saladin for extra points, not a requirement to participate. These Borg Cube events require a Borg Cube to use the laser. I don't have it either, though it is a fairly recent addition to the game.

[lusty bear]

difference is, there are no "use Saladin" - events but "extra points using Saladin, Bortas or Centurion" - as I mentioned: universal.

Why are there only "Kill hostiles" instead of "kill Jem Hadar" on the low levels? Those are also good alternatives if you are not able, to reach the Systems yet. So why create a Event, where 1/3 of the player may be not able to do it? Exactly: because even I'm at -1,5millione reputation with klingons and romulans, I can still buy klingon and romulan ships and cloaking parts in the shop for real money - thats why 😉

[delicate latch]

You're still blaming Scopely because you didn't build a ship you have had access to.

[delicate latch]

A lot of players don't want to work on one or more factions at any point in the game, so, since many players don't want to develop their Romulan reputation, then there shouldn't be any events were points are gained from using Romulan ships because it's not universal for all players to have those Romulan ships, and remove all events with points scored by using Klingon and Federation ships because some players only want a positive standing with one of the other two factions. It is not universal for all players to have the Augment faction unlocked, so all Augment related events are bad planning by Scopely according to you. I see players on my server's top 100 boards for points destroyed and or resources raided and are still hanging out in the pre-lvl 11 range. I did a lot of PvP and I'm not even in the top 100. Should there only be events for destroying hostiles, PvP, and mining resources and materials but none of the PvP events take place in systems those players can't reach, points count for all hostiles, not these events for Borg, Freebooters, Xindi, etc. this season pass for participating in Takeovers, etc. because they aren't universal?

[flint geyser]

More quality events like this please 💩

[elder fern]

Every part about this event was stupid, but esp the cooldown. Not everyone can perfectly time when they’re online to get your poorly explained SMS done! Now I’m gonna be stuck with another useless currency taking up space in my inventory that I’ll never be able to get rid of. 😡😡😡

[lusty bear]

to use @delicate latch argument: You both seem to be doing it wrong. I have 38 biological samples right now and I'm on 2nd place in my group. so scopely did nothing wrong 😉

[warm cave]

With all do respect Cand1e the bug channel is for bugs. This is the event feedback channnel. I gave feedback specific to the event and communication to the event. At no point did you or any other moderators say this was a bug. The armada scoring is working as intended I believe was said at one point. There for it is not a bug and you are directing me to an inappropriate channel based on your own rules.

[delicate latch]

No, that was you blaming Scopely for the event, not I.

[queen kindle]

I've given you information on the event that's running now, and how to recognize and report armada directive bugs in the future. The event running now isn't bugged. If you come across one that is, you know what to do.

[warm cave]

So I gave feedback about an event working as proper. So you have me advice how to report a bug, which has nothing to do with my post. If anything your response illustrates the need for better communication. As your response was to give me information that was not requested, needed or applicable to my post. None the less thank you for taking the time to respond

[delicate latch]

For no BPs prior, it would cost 88,000 Enterprise Coins to build the D3 Class, 175,000 to build the Bortus totaling 263,000, and to build the Separatist D3 Class is 304,000, making a grand total of 567,000 Enterprise coins to build all 3 ships that having cloaking abilities in the ship blueprints event store (at least for our level). So far, I spent 15,750 for 7 Borg Cube blueprints, 20,000 to complete the Jellyfish (50 blueprints), 22,500 to complete the North Star (75 blueprints though you can get up to 18 from missions giving me an odd remainder of 3), 60,000 for 40 Meridian blueprints, 63,000 to build the USS Franklin (90 blueprints), and 76,000 do build the USS Discovery (100 blueprints) for a grand total of 257, 250 Enterprise Credits spent with currently 5,650 left. That's 100 Enterprise credits short of being able to build the D3 Class and Bortus both from 0 blueprints. You can get some D3 Class blueprints from doing the missions as I mentioned earlier.

[queen kindle]

The event has been live about 34hours at the time of this point and it still says "Spend 'rare aramda' and 'epic armada' directives. Implying that any score.

I've provided clarification on the event that was needed because you've inferred something not intended.

[delicate latch]

I say again, "A lot of players don't want to work on one or more factions at any point in the game, so, since many players don't want to develop their Romulan reputation, then there shouldn't be any events were points are gained from using Romulan ships because it's not universal for all players to have those Romulan ships, and remove all events with points scored by using Klingon and Federation ships because some players only want a positive standing with one of the other two factions. It is not universal for all players to have the Augment faction unlocked, so all Augment related events are bad planning by Scopely according to you. I see players on my server's top 100 boards for points destroyed and or resources raided and are still hanging out in the pre-lvl 11 range. I did a lot of PvP and I'm not even in the top 100. Should there only be events for destroying hostiles, PvP, and mining resources and materials but none of the PvP events take place in systems those players can't reach, points count for all hostiles, not these events for Borg, Freebooters, Xindi, etc. this season pass for participating in Takeovers, etc. because they aren't universal?"

[lusty bear]

just a tipp: buy yourself the vidar (imho most important ship), a faction miner and meridian - thats more important than wasting it for ships, you will only use for scrapping later on. you can now stop arguing with me. You (obviously) don't understand my point, I want to make - so play as you like. I will also do so 😉

[delicate latch]

Here's a tip, if you want the Enterprise Credits for the event you were crying about, build one of the ships that has cloaking ability and unlock the refit for it.

[untold jackal]

You two are still at it? That's dedication.

[delicate latch]

They are pretty butthurt that Scopely didn't build a D3 Class or something for them. I guess they haven't done well enough in the BP to afford the 88K to build it. Or, like I said about players that refuse to build ships because they don't want it, upset with Scopely because they don't want to build it.

[short pier]

This interspecies event is definitely the worst event in a long time. I've pulled every chest on cooldown, even staying up late to get one before going to bed. I still somehow am 60th in the SLB. What the heck was even the point? Me and several other alliance members scoured the map and were some of the first people to find the new missions and mining spots, and what was our reward? Absolutely nothing. And I get 2 more items stuck in my inventory forever as a reminder of this dumpster fire waste of energy.

[warm cave]

I inferred something based off lack of communication. You doubling down and placing blame on me is offensive. You play the game, you read the event. I inferred nothing. I read the event. Communication has been horrific this arc and with this event and even more so this week. You attacking me is highly offensive. You refuse to acknowledge the communication issue and try to direct me to bug reporting when no bug exists is insulting. Ive come to expect higher level of care from you Candie and this interaction has done much to hurt those expectations for future interaction. A response along of “I can see how this event confused the player base, I’ll reach out to the devs and admins to clarify the instructions”. Instead you insult me and don’t address the issue.

[queen kindle]

Relax, I haven't blamed you. I'm clarifying the new normal. Scopely is not implying anything, they are explicitly stating what will score. You don't need infer hidden messages from them, or from me. There should no longer be an issue of miscommunication because you can review if the directives you're using matches the scoring card.

You can still provide feedback on the event here. And again, I didn't tell you your message did not belong here. I stated what to do if you find an event with scoring that doesn't fit the new system.

[rapid eagle]

Feedback for the event summed up in a picture. And yes i was pulling samples and doing turn ins as efficiently as possible(for a person that has to sleep lol)...still not able to use up the remaining samples i had before time ran out to score on slb/alb

I can understand timers on the sample pull, and can somewhat understand a timer on the big exchange pull, but why was there a timer/limit set on the small exchange at all? it just causes a bunch of people to end the event with samples that we cannot use...which are only useful while the event is active

[shadow trellis]

Done my final pull guess something else to fill my inventory with

[hearty stag]

So I’ve done everything as and when it came up. Got extremely unlucky with the rewards from pulls and so can’t complete the sms. I’m confused as to why everything now has to be a gamble. I get that heroic sms have always been a struggle to do to encourage spending but normal sms?

[humble sleet]

Have to say the illness event chain was pretty terrible..

TWICE I couldn’t complete the 4 step SMS even with setting timers to maximize pulls due to horrific RNG luck, couldn’t even manage to collect x10 samples by the end of the event.

No skill, no effort, it’s a pure RNG or $$ event

[empty badger]

You were supposed to refine 2 creatures per day..

Basically, scopely 'got ya'.

[fading hemlock]

And I would imagine 99% of players had refined them all within 10 minutes of starting that event

[humble sleet]

Was that listed someplace? I mean the quest had basically zero information, unable to be repeated, no cooldowns for the creature turn in

[fading hemlock]

Exactly, the only way to know was to check the rewards against the SMS. Whether by looking at the values, or checking the SMS after each redeem. We and Scopely know most people will not do that, so for Scopely it has the added benefit that forces people to buy packs to continue to compete.

[empty badger]

How could scopely get you to hate spend, if they told you everything you needed to know beforehand so you could plan.

Its like the cloaks they added to the faction stores in the last patch, the day before you put in a cloaking sms. Ie. After youve already bought them......

Its all about the gotchas, which they calculate will trigger you to spend in retaliation, they spend more money paying consulting psychologists on how to screw you out of your money than they do to the devs to fix the code......

[icy marsh]

what the heck is this?! 200 epic group armadas to complete?!

[dim hare]

people are weak minded sheep, rather then stand up to them by no longer spending, they continue to spend on the game. I am not sure why people would this kind of money on a game that provides zero return. but to each their own.

[slender current]

Why the hell wasnt this artifact SLB listed in the arc events? The board says no artifact events after the 9th

[drifting jackal]

Oh good more armada hunter events to ignore because its uncompletable

[ocean crypt]

only 900 uncommon armadas to complete armada event, okay who's buying

[scenic flint]

I liked the idea behind the Interspecies Illnesses event. I like the lore friendly aspect of it (the most lore friendly part of the entire Enterprise arc). But having the event be soley based on luck with confusing timers and random payouts is just stupid. Things like having different creatures available to turn in on different days would have help. Maybe instead of just the 1 mission, you break it up into the trivia style events where you complete it by collecting different creatures for each mini event and then having the sample turns as an addition to that would probably be better.

[dim hare]

#shutupandspend

[slender current]

this is just disrepectful. im charging back my last purchase, lock my account.

[novel mango]

Why are worm armadas a thing? Rewards suck and they don’t count for any events? They are pointless.

[unreal coral]

seriously? they start an armada XALB 2 days after everyone has used their directives in the already running armada sms?

[dim hare]

#shutup&spend lol

[spare creek]

Burial armadas don't work but are not listed as being excluded

[fluid gust]

34 most likely.
it's an AMS, so it should generate points for every individual in the armada.

[scenic flint]

Standard practice for Scopely.

[glass sail]

came out of the gate strong on Finale weapon armadas & idc, zero interest, between the un-winable armada event, the silly spend event for Final Weapon Directives, plus the artifact & FT events & just overall charade of events pretending to be more than $ grabs, I’ll grind today & you won’t see my $$$. Maybe tomorrow.

[subtle oracle]

can we have no more new rubbish if you not going fix old bug and 10 events one day wtf why have this channle if your not going take on feed back to

[elfin nest]

What a joke! Armada hunter says spend a Rare directive. So eclipse armadas are not armada. No disclaimer stating eclipse don't count.

[toxic galleon]

Today for your quality of life improvement you get to grind Jem’Hadar or Freebooter, Xindi, and Eclipse hostile plus run armadas and muddmadas. Scopely giving you quantity over quality for the win.

[dim hare]

eclipse never counts as you can easily get tokens... #shutup&spend

[wet crag]

oh good heavens here, have Armadas half your level range cant touch, and now have Xindi which you cant realistically farm at your level either; this is stupid

[toxic galleon]

Spending regular armada credits isn’t counting. Says it does under Armada Loot II

[verbal surge]

Not having certain artifacts score on the event is straight up nonsense

[boreal coyote]

I find forbidden tech events incredibly frustrating. This type of event detracts from long term "what's good for you" goals. Not to mention it is 99% pay to play content only. @full swan when will we get access to a whip drip? This kind of item should not be pay only in perpetuity. Is it even being talked about? is it a hard no? Would be good to get an official
statement on it.

[coral bane]

Why are gained armadas credits not scoring for XALB?

[lavish pawn]

The Xindi and Silent Enemies event are just pointless. Especially the Xindi, they are overpowered and as an ops 41 I still can't hit the 40s, there is no way I'm grinding the sub 40 for 40k in scraps

[solid tangle]

Thank you for fixing the spawns of eclipse armadas. This is now actually fun!

[proper dawn]

@wanton copper I'm one of those folks that completed all missions and turn ins in the first day, screwing my ability to complete the sms on day 2 & 3, missing out on event store currency. Better communication warning us not to spend them all on day 1 or making it so only two missions could be completed each day would have alleviated this issue for thousands of players. I'm a very dissatisfied customer on this one. When do we start seeing "Quality over Quantity"? Do better.

[short pier]

It's scummy, deliberate, and it works. Whales will buy more directives to finish this one too. Nothing will change while the whales still spend.

[odd dock]

bet all the paid ones make the list

they dont like using the Heroic tag on events that should be

[trim rapids]

illness event had fun theming and quests. Nothing to do after the first day but do a slot machine pull. please give me something to do, kill hostiles, mine, explore, something.

[ornate scroll]

gaining credits doesn't count for the xabl... 😜😡💩

[queen hearth]

funny how the 48hr temporal artifact restoration SLB running today and tomorrow isn't on the IGN event notes or the event schedule posted in the event information channel on this server #💫-event-information message . Must be more of that quality.

[molten marlin]

they always do this, should be used to them adding surprise events to spur purchases by now

[candid sage]

Any answers yet about The Final Weapon not scoring for all participants in an armada… other than the workaround posted to star only certain individuals and payout is based on whomever gets the least loot… This is ludicrous!! Seems like more complex coding went into not awarding points as is stated rather than just counting all loot gained by all participants which is what the event states

[molten marlin]

Reminds me of that one apex thursday where only the host scored points and scored all the points that everyone in the armada would've scored, and then a random person got points.

[candid sage]

In this case only the starter seems to be getting points based on random selected and not from all participants

[fair lantern]

Lol, for the temporal artifacts I'm supposed to hit level 46 silent enemies. I don't have the warp range to reach those systems and can barely kill the enemies in lower levels. It's pointless though since there's no way to trade-up for the uncommon to rare rewards. Pretty much blows any desire I have to pay for this battle pass.

[frozen sedge]

SO. MUCH. GRIND. I used to buy battlepass but screw that. So many battlepasses, so much grind of ridiculuous OP enemies. Don't feel like paying for the privilege of wasting hours in laaaaaaag mindless killing hostiles.

[slender drift]

congrats scopely the armadas in exchange space are respawning!!! thanks 😊

[pseudo lichen]

Phlox event was crazy. Poor direction. And now if mission incomplete, still there and cannot complete. That is event not a mission. Events disappear. Take the incomplete mission with it or let me finish it!

[quartz sigil]

So armada hunter says rare and epic and doesn't list any restrictions as to type so why am I not getting credit for eclipse

[molten marlin]

eclipse has never counted for the armada events

[quartz sigil]

@molten marlin
And it lists no restrictions implies every type is OK

[molten marlin]

The scorecard has the specific directive name, this is not a new event. Only thing that has changed about it is the reward, it's always been regular rare and epic directives

[quartz sigil]

@molten marlin and this is why we get the wonderful service we get from them because they aren't accountable don't care what it said in the past that's irrelevant its what is stated on the current event that matters

[delicate latch]

Was looking through the news to see if I could find a new redemption code I didn't get wind of and came across an event I didn't get. I already had Nero unlocked and the SNW badge avatar for some time, but would still have been nice to get the daily log-in resources, experience, parts, the Romulan banner avatar and Borg frame, and the extra Nero shards.

[molten marlin]

For fresh accounts.

[cedar lily]

It's a nice banner

[untold osprey]

If you'd like to make this game at least somewhat enjoyable, why don't you put the information that is necessary to complete the events in the event card? It is asinine, not to mention time consuming, to require multiple resources to figure out how to complete an event. You used to include a very handy locate button on certain events that required specific action. Now you fail to provide even the smallest hint; but at least you never fail to disappoint!

[stuck phoenix]

@untold osprey It is the person that writes the event or their boss failing...skipped grammar school. Do X armada for Y points. see ...easy. Only the most ridiculous fool would write all the things that don't count....

[scenic flint]

<@&509690795536941056> I'm really enjoying the reduced cooldowns on the armada respawn. Especially on Apex Thursdays. I have spent so much less time searching for any armada to run and actually running or joining armadas.

[odd dock]

they cant add up, thats why they dont know that 5 words (inclusive targets) is a smaller number than 20 words (all the excluded targets)

[stuck phoenix]

@odd dock The officer cards are the same. They get progressively more wordy as the game aged. The worst are the ones that reference the officer the card is about, by name, in the description (sometimes twice). Sixth grade level writing to hit a word count on a book report. Talent level is one phaser setting under the people that make STD....

[glass sail]

Dear Sweet Baby Jesus in swaddling cloth, please help those who create the events be guided by not silly duuumb decisions and make today’s event even somewhat entertaining, interesting and enjoyable.

[hollow lichen]

sure, how about some tickets and kill some hostiles as always. that's it for your event update for today

[cinder oak]

The Bounty II - SMS requires destroying level 40 minimum hostiles. I tested in Kertoria with a Xindi Aquatic Scout and a Xindi Reptilian Scout lvl 35 and it didn't score.
The event description does not explicitly say this.

[winter narwhal]

and it's incredibly unfair to lock those of us that are limited to the 34 system out of the event like this

[flint geyser]

Quality

[night otter]

NVM

[distant dove]

when is 'soon'??

[light canyon]

Biggest joke of a worthless crooked event. The only way to get the blue ticket is to either save all tickets for the next time it comes around or to buy extra since you can’t never make it by the 30 tickets given over a 3 day period. You’ll always fall one short.

[narrow kelp]

so there'll be no more spend event for the event store currency?

[edgy stream]

Agreed, they need to inude the lvl 34s. Guessing an oversight. But giving the of the quality of work.. not to sure.. @sterile wharf as a dev can ypu ir another dev pls look into this thx.

[covert ginkgo]

Well I mean there are people EVERY SINGLE TIME that “forget” to spend their event store loot and complain. Now they have a reminder several days ahead so can’t say they weren’t warned.

[frozen sedge]

And for today's events ... hit 115 hostiles. Have fun!

[lavish pawn]

They've called those mission hostiles, but they need to make those count. I'm a 41 and with two exos running for damage I can get 2 40s per Augur... This isn't with 20 hulls

[shy saffron]

So, what level aquatics countfor the Stun and Kill events? The ones in Kertoria don't.

[queen kindle]

40+

[cinder oak]

Level 40 minimum Xindi Hostiles.

[shy saffron]

Smh, so... perhaps put that somewhere in or near the event? It says 40+ in the event calendar as if its only open for ops40+. A touch of consistancy would be a nice change.

[frozen sedge]

Except, lvl 40s can't possibly kill 40 lvl 40 xindi. Might as well say "for nx-01 buyers only"

[lavish pawn]

20 hulls for an event seems kind of excessive...

[mossy trout]

I’m confused about that also. I had blue xindi tokens about 2 weeks ago which I refined and it gave me an NX01 coin but I couldn’t spend it and could not find it after

[queen kindle]

NX01 coin sounds like it was for the special chase event. I'd contact CS and see if they'd be willing to exchange it for you. #👽-how-to-contact-support

[kindred aurora]

So I have to kill 40 Xindi at 4 per trip at the same time as half the galaxy is hunting the only type I can kill (Interceptors). Realistically this will take hours and the rewards don't match up.

[lavish pawn]

At least yesterday's scored better than the scoring mentioned. Like 100 per scrap instead of 10. 40 Xindi 40s is nuts for players entering the Xindi ranges

[fleet wren]

Where is the comp chest promised for the treasury mess?

[narrow kelp]

I just had one a minute ago in my gift tab

[fleet wren]

I thought the current comp gift was for another mess up but I could be mistaken

[lament kestrel]

What’s the exo comp factory key for?

[viral kayak]

I already have the building in my base.

[silk garnet]

This is incredibly misleading. It says "Defeat Xindi Aquatic and Reptilian hostiles" but I've been killing the level 36 scouts, and no credit. Ridiculous.

[molten marlin]

not misleading at all, it doesn't say kill scouts, and they've never counted for the xindi hostile kill events.

[lavish pawn]

Yes, but for those of us that the 40s wipe the floor with us, often the scrap from the 34-35s work...

[silk garnet]

It doesn't say Xindi warships, it just says hostiles. That implies that hostiles of all levels are valid.

[thick owl]

@molten marlin , I don't mind grinding the 34-35 Reptilians for Scraps (even with needing 1200 put pull). That can easily be done with a normal Hostile crew or 5, Kirk and Khan on the Enterprise for additional loot.

[marsh nest]

Yeah, the same. Itt doesnt say that you must kill 40+. Àtbaszàs....

[barren wadi]

I suppose they are screwing over the folks that can’t kill the 40 + Xindi by removing the 35’s from scoring and are too chicken 💩 to say it in the text?

[molten marlin]

The 35s have never scored for these events, why would they now?\

[viral kayak]

Because the task description says so ... if there is going to be exceptions they should be clearly listed.

[arctic fog]

If they don't count, the arc runner or whoever TF is in charge of this stuff should PUT IT IN THE TEXT OF THE EVENT. It's either incompetence, malice, or laziness that they don't, all of which says poor things about the people behind this game.

[desert nimbus]

The question should be, why wouldn't they count? They are xindi reptilian, the event says xindi reptilian, with no level stated, so they should count. Maybe scopely should just cut people some slack for once and stop screwing them over.

[molten marlin]

Because they're mission hostiles and never counted and don't have the faction tag on them. And let's be fair here, even if they did note it in the event description, you'd still be complaining about it.

[desert nimbus]

I'm ops 59. It doesn't effect me. I'm complaining because alliance members are killing hostiles, which they were told would score points, and wondering why they're not counting. They're average players who don't know the scopely technical classification for hostiles. The event says Xindi-Repitilian hostiles, they kill Xindi-Reptilian hostiles, it says nothing about tags, or previous events. You're just a scopely apologist.

[thick owl]

@molten marlin, IF the event description was accurate, the complaint wouldn't be about a misleading description. The complaint would be that the event isn't realistic for many players to even attempt. There have been numerous events that I don't even bother with because as a limited funds player, I simply can't be competitive.

[arctic fog]

so since people will complain, it's ok to just not do anything to resolve and part of it?

[arctic fog]

wait not even the normal lvl 40 xindi warships count? [cancel that, looks like it was just lag making them not show up for points]

[boreal coyote]

they counted for me 🤷‍♂️

[vagrant topaz]

Posted earlier in my alliance chat:There is an old adage that dates back to when I was working construction, about 40 years ago. You can have it done fast, you can have it done cheap, and you can have it done right. Pick two. Now, I work in IT, and it's the exact same way. I know we like to rag on the programmers, but it's their management that is picking which two, and you can guess which two they're picking. This is not a programming problem, it's a mangement problem.

[arctic fog]

too true

[latent steppe]

If you want us to kill the new silent enemies then you need to give us some to kill. I've lost count of the number of times I've been sat waiting for a 46 to spawn. The Orinthus Prime system seems to favour 49s spawning. Just program it to have equal numbers of each. 12 minutes since my last kill. I'm the only 1 in there, its 2:45 am in the UK.

[latent steppe]

Or have equal numbers of each, let's say 4, as there appear to be approximately 25 ships in the system at any one time. So, 4 of each level and type, 24 in total. If you kill a 49 explorer, a 49 explorer spawns. Is that a difficult concept? Why do you insist on random spawns, always?

[willow coral]

people will moan they missed the deadline. fair play to scopely for making it 100% obvious that players need to spend their loot or lose it

[river merlin]

ah yes the generous scopely that gives out so much loot

[dusk frigate]

can we PLEASE get a fleet commander event soon? it's been so long

[willow coral]

ops24.... are the chests meant to promote loyalty? The rest of the economy has been increased, somehow this has been forgotten 😦
It took so long to get allegiance tokens available for all. Now they don't seem worthwhile....... IMHO Only thing of value are the bps/shards and desealing rods 😦 [ keenser can make us a cuppa coffee 🙈 😹 ]

[light canyon]

Isn’t scoring properly, I managed to get the first tier, but since then despite beating multiple of both the reptilian and aquatic xindi it hasn’t even gone up. Aquatic is supposed to score 100 each I beaten over 10 of those alone and over 50 of the reptilian which scores 50 . Yet it doesn’t want to finish this event for me

[molten marlin]

are you hitting 40s

[light canyon]

This states aquatic 100 and reptilian 50 says absolutely nothing about any lvl just the two types of xindi so I should be done with this event already

[molten marlin]

only 40+ count

[gritty adder]

Anyone else having problems with seeing career advancement slb? It's in the calendar but doesn't show up in my events.

[molten marlin]

If you didn't qualify in one of the first 3 (top 25) you won't get the finale

[gritty adder]

Cheers

[loud glade]

I spent all my fleet commander stuff I’d been saving yesterday so there’s bound to be a surprise one round the corner now

[dusk frigate]

lets hope it's today....

[shy saffron]

Cheap? Fast? Certainly, it can't be right.

[mossy trout]

Got points yesterday in THIS event for scrap from level 34-35.

[molten marlin]

loot, not kills, again the 35s have never scored for this event and they've ran it numerous times before

[mossy trout]

The scoring used to be for damage against 40+, not kills

[high harbor]

Why does Bounty II say points are for killing Xindi Aquatic and Reptilian "ships," but then killing the lv34 scouts doesn't count? If it means something else, why isn't that written and how are players expected to guess?

[unreal coral]

re: Recruit <officer> SLB: Having ops Level 61+ grouped in with the 51-60 bracket is really demotivating - pointless trying to compete as an ops 53. I had hoped that the previous two trials of separating the 61+ into a server region-wide XSLB was an elegant solution that Scopely trialled twice - disappointing not to see it made permanent

[lean nexus]

Why is there only one area in the 41 level to kill silent enemies? And for an event where everyone needs to kill these and it's about impossible to get 41s. When you expect a server event have more systems to get them done. And why does it have to be in token space?

[prime harness]

Making Pholx the SMS/SLB officer for the month was a terrible choice.

[oblique basin]

Excuse me what? SMS - need to get 900 points to complete, but silent enemies are a token system. I have 3 tokens. I can kill 3-4 level 41's currently before going boom (and oh, yes, the only level 41 system so the pressure with everyone going there will be crazy too). This is unachievable mainly because of the token limitation! Seriously Scopely.... this is a ridiculous event. Boo.

[kindred aurora]

Get rid of the Silent Hostile 44s
And keep the triangle types balanced.

[rancid shard]

At ops 49 its 2200 points needed

[analog gazelle]

They could at least weaken them so players can kill easier. Kinda think there bait to force people to take the easy option for them prism stuff for resesrch

[covert ginkgo]

No, I like how tough they are. The token requirements should be removed though so people can experiment with what works best for them.

[warm haven]

Ops 44 here, an alliance mate only has to score 130 points and Ops 43. The scoring on this event is out of wack

[oblique basin]

If I wanted though, I could keep spending on the repairs. What really gets me is that I can only go back as many times as I have tokens. Ridic.

[thick owl]

IF I had stockpiled tokens for Silent Enemies, I could have had some success in today's event. I get 3-4 level 41's per hull with my Kelvin (the only crew I have is the Severus Decius Charvanek crew which relies on Severus to guarantee a kill in 5 rounds max. Had I known that Bounty 3 was to kill Silent Enemies, I would have held onto my daily travel tokens.

[warm haven]

Lvl 41 hostiles count for 20 points...so that 45 Silent hostiles (lvl 41 ) to kill.
Unlike yesterdays event (which also required a high amount of kills and repairs) the tokens are limited. And no gift was sent out for additional tokens (like during borg events)

[lethal jasper]

I need 120 pts to finish it and can only kill 1-2 lvl 41 silent hostiles per token. That is at least 3 tokens for me to finish, most likely 4-5. It's a bit ridiculous no matter what ops level. I'm ops 42.

[warm haven]

Agree, Add to that the horrible spawning (44 and 41 should be in seperate systems) it makes it harder to buff and kill many hostiles as you have to wait for the 41s to spawn

[mild glacier]

This event is broken. 80% of the player base can’t kill any but the very lowest level of these hostiles and even then not enough to finish the event. Even the whales troll around the lowest level system to do it. So many players are in that one system that it lags out or crashes the game making it impossible to do the event. Please stop making every new hostile some kind of ex-machina that only the very strongest can handle. It’s not fun not being able to play the content.

[analog gazelle]

Nah im ops 41 and i see people doing them with a 9m ship but mine can’t win

[brazen lichen]

All the Xindi and Silent stuff is just "pay to play only" - that's the bottom line. 🤷‍♂️

[lavish pawn]

But folks that punch down can't refine it, since the refining is bracketed

[fresh monolith]

Finally put some more 41 silents in the system while event is running! 💩 💩

[fluid gust]

that's just whales being whales, not caring about anyone else.

I'm a decently strong ops45, i could easily do the event on the lvl44 silent enemies.
yet i see higher level players(even low 50's) going for the 41's.

even for loot there's no difference for me wether i go for 41 or 44.
so i go for 44, leaves the 41's for people who can't handle higher.

i checked the ships, everyone higher level who was hunting the lvl41's would've been just as able to hunt the 44's as me.

[bleak eagle]

cash cow game

[cedar lily]

There trying to pull it with one warp token lol

[fresh monolith]

👍 💩

[swift rain]

The silent systems without dedicated and separated ops levels makes this a bad event. I have to hit 5 levels below ops because the correct ones won't spawn. This also means that the loot I get from the hostiles in today's event is completely useless to me

[lavish pawn]

Especially since the systems don't balance, so the 41 system can end up with no 41s and just 44s...

[willow glen]

I hope that soon scopely goes bankrupt, you guys would deserve that 🤣

[warm kestrel]

Quality over quantity 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣

[vagrant topaz]

They'll never go bankrupt. They have a large pool of spenders, and when that runs out, if it ever does, it costs nothing to shut the servers down. And they won't even give a single solitary f about the players.

[analog gazelle]

Not talking about punching down, talking about weakening the ships in general so people can beat them

[lavish pawn]

We're not talking that far apart, I was talking to another part. The fact that they are so hard to hit causes the bigger players to go to the smaller systems meaning folks earlier on can't get their hostiles...but just generally making them more approachable of a target would help everyone!

[analog gazelle]

Ah ok, yea its pointless and i think some still dont get the loot is ops level limited

[brazen merlin]

show me one time where feedback was taken seriously. Only fixes or help they do at scopelybis to their pocket. I mean how many times do you have to say not being able to do an event is really not fun. it's like they use frustration to generate extra income or profit and that in its own is a different kind of respect. I mean Bek is the events manager, so when have you seen her attend to her own oversight. This compensation gifts is so normal and it's a clear indication they don't think things through before releasing or beta testing.

[noble citrus]

Sighhhhhhhh

[light canyon]

Why is it events all seem to be resetting at different times now , when they used to load at the same times

[errant belfry]

@wanton copper Here's an idea: set a time for events to reset based on GMT and just leave it there all year long. Those of us who switch for daylight savings can adapt like we do the dailies timer because apparently Scopely can't figure it out!

[arctic fog]

wtf, not a single currency event on the last day of the arc?!?

[sonic robin]

Esteemed Scopely,

Ah, how delightful it is to witness the grand spectacle of your endeavors in the realm of Star Trek Fleet Command. Your promises of quality over quantity ring as sweetly in our lobes as a lucrative business deal, yet alas, it seems that the reality falls far short of the mark.

We Ferengi are no strangers to the pursuit of profit, but even we must marvel at your ability to deliver updates teeming with more bugs and technical maladies than a Hupyrian beetle stew. Truly, it takes a special kind of talent to turn a perfectly functioning game into a chaotic mess worthy of a chaotic wormhole.

And yet, what truly captivates us is your remarkable response to the grievances of your loyal player base. With each outcry for improvement, you demonstrate a masterful display of tone-deafness that would make even the most oblivious Nagus green with envy. Your resilience in the face of criticism is truly a sight to behold.

In the annals of Ferengi history, your exploits shall be celebrated as a cautionary tale, a testament to the perils of prioritizing profit over player satisfaction. But fear not, dear Scopely, for in our hearts, we hold a deep admiration for your unyielding dedication to the pursuit of profit, regardless of the consequences.

So here's to you, Scopely, the true embodiment of Ferengi values in the galaxy of gaming. May your coffers overflow with latinum, even as your players grumble in frustration.

With all due sarcasm and a healthy dose of admiration,

Your fellow entrepreneurs in the stars

[turbid hamlet]

Thanks for adding the Voyager officers to the Event store.. Sadly.. because I have 1/5 the Event Currency have gotten in the past.. I cant afford to do anything with them since I need Archer and Trip for Xindi or I'm derked with those Hostiles.. Much of this is partly due to not.. having.. currency.. in.. ticketed...events.. like has been done.. for YEARS...

[fluid gust]

some events are kept in sync with US DST, others with EU DST.
that means there's a few weeks where 2 different event reset times are used.

[mild ore]

The store currency isn't worth it, just should have waited for the right ones to turn in

[spice scarab]

For Cardassian battlepass events, as a high 50's player, can we have faster lvl 51 respawns, or an additional lvl 50 system or two? It's beyond idiotic that I have to fight the entire server of high level players to kill some combination of 40 lvl 51 hostiles (ultra rare when everyone and their brother is hunting them), 65 lvl 50 hostiles (less rare, but still scarce), or 105 lvl 49 hostiles (usually the bulk). Or spend $$$ on Epic/Rare directives to do an armada or two. To be honest, the Cardassian armadas are just not worth spending those directives on when I'm regularly doing 54+ epics in deep space.

[simple widget]

This arc has been a joke. I'm in the #2 alliance on my server, and I've gotten top 5 in multiple slbs, and I had a fraction of what I've gotten in every other event store arc. Not putting event store currency in ticket events really screwed over everyone. And if rev deuce is right that it was left out due to incompetence, then something needs to be done to make it up. This is the first event store where I can't even unlock the one officer I was going for.

[sonic robin]

Even if you include the 60k from the heroic armada event it's still low. Do you happen to have a link and timestamp where rev said it please?

[simple widget]

https://youtu.be/pk080CiIaaM?si=3Mt88yKDjTV4ctWv - around through 5:30 mark

[sonic robin]

thanks, seems both CC and players are near unanimous in their feedback while scopely remains....wel scopely

[fleet radish]

Seriously?….still same old rewards for years? When do u finally update?….thats pathetic

[light canyon]

Free to play like me will never finish this event since you don’t give enough tickets to do enough of the events to get the last two here. I for one refuse to pay a $100 for tickets since what little you get for doing so ain’t worth the cost.

[broken root]

You're doing it wrong then. What you need to do is collect the tickets and every 3 weeks do all 9 ticketed events. That way you'll get the rare milestone

[steep prism]

Yall gotta sync these event resets up already. It's been enough time since time change

[vagrant topaz]

Please fix the reset bug that’s splitting event resets to two different times this is getting ridiculous that this company committed to quality over quantity but literally it’s been getting worse!

[novel mango]

Quality is hard.

[novel mango]

Not an excuse they can plan ahead by using one fixed time.

[steep prism]

@full swan

When is faction hunt back? It's been months.

[inland pier]

What about getting rid of the infamous error 5 popping out all the time ?

[unreal coral]

@full swan why is incursions on the event calendar when there is still no news of the incursion store working? We still haven't had the one promised from last month - or is the plan to have yet another broken event?

[full swan]

Exos are still being worked on and I'm hoping to get an announcement this week regardin them.

[oblique basin]

Just to mention as a bit of historical sensitivity, in our alliance we have some German folk, who have been rather astounded at your use of "The Final Weapon" or "Wunderwaffe" as you have translated it (it is specifically the term Wunderwaffe that is the issue, in the german translation). This is a German Nazi term from WW2 and is somewhat insensitive. Perhaps a little research might have been done beforehand?
https://www.heritagedaily.com/2021/03/wunderwaffe-the-nazi-superweapons-of-ww2/137566#google_vignette

[pseudo coral]

Oh for goodness sake. Let's not be ridiculous. Nobody associates those words to Germany, which were used most recently in a korean tv show. Possibly a little sensitive. 😂

[oblique basin]

It's no skin off my nose, however, I respect how some other people haven't been impressed 🤷🏻‍♀️

[pseudo coral]

No skin off your nose, yet you decided to stir the pot, taking the unnecessary path of righteousness. 🤔

[ivory cape]

@full swan
Regarding event schedule, is there no Crucible of War this cycle??

[sonic robin]

Seems a dangerous gamble to announce incursions if you can't guarantee a fix to exos

[dark horizon]

easter battle pass ... what a joke... pay us to get something for easter

[orchid lion]

See the snowflakes are everywhere ❄️🤣

[oblique basin]

I made a factual observation, with respect for some friends in game. Pity you can't be respectful in turn.

[orchid lion]

Respect is earned not a given. The problem is too many people claim to be offended by events that happened long before they were born or claim to be victims of society to garner sympathy or preferential treatment.

[oblique basin]

Well, my friends have earned MY respect, and told me they were surprised, and not appreciative of the term Wundewaffe being used in the german translation of the event. Anyway. I simply wanted to make scopely aware of the issue, not you players here... so move along, there's nothing to see here.

[boreal coyote]

Not sure how I feel about the new rare tickets. It’s nice that it’s guaranteed 10 shards, but it’s not nice that the officers don’t have relevance to the current arc. Is galactic going to be the new ultra? I think we need different sourcing for these. F2P can only grab a couple per arc, so it’s not great. Also, it doesn’t feel good not unlocking one blue officer all arc all while actually paying for a $20 BP ( that’s $60, almost a full AAA game title, but I know that’s not live service) Historically this feels cheap and a move in the wrong direction.

[oblique ridge]

Totally agree on not unlocking the rare officer by completing all events and buying the elite track of the battlepass. I sincerely hope this isn’t what we can expect in future.

[rough ravine]

Sure was great of you guys to do this on the last eve of the mission key hunter event. And me stuck on 19/20. Thanks for nothin.

EDITTED: For some reason I can't attach my screenshot of the web store 'Under Maintenance'

[mighty swift]

OK well with Incursions going in less then 2 weeks. Did they FIX the exocomp issues? And if so where is the non incursions use of those exocomps they stated they would do?

[molten marlin]

not fixed yet

[lunar jay]

First it was no more new ship unlocks with BattlePass.
Then it was no more Epic officer unlocks with BattlePass.
Then it was no more Rare officer unlocks with BattlePass.

Also, every decent new research being a Prime that you can’t source and must pay for.

Welcome to full bore Pay-to-Play.

[uneven osprey]

Event feedback for the Treasury running at the moment. Why does it not carry crystal if it is a ship treasury . Scopley my opinion you dropped the ball again on this one. So it should have crystal but it doesn't. W .T.F.

[molten marlin]

it's an explorer pack

[willow coral]

Event feedback/suggestion:
Communication:
Please could the expired/completed Dailly Events SMS and SLB have a date time stamp of when the event ran & finished within the client? the number available is great for transparency, however sometimes multiples of the same appear over 24hrs which can cause confusion.
TIA

[oblique basin]

Has anyone noticed the number of shards you get in an epic pull has changed? It used to be 10 was a rare minimum. Lately I’ve been getting quite a few 8’s… more cutbacks scopely???

[solar pike]

Once again scopely failed to acknowledge their mistake and I fail to gain rewards. I spent quite a bit of epic/rare exchange armada and even rare formation armada directives only to be denied points

Points I needed to get one officer shard to unlock🤦🏻‍♀️

[fluid gust]

your mistake for not reading correctly.
it says "rare armada directive" and "epic armada directive" in quotation marks.
as in the items by that exact name, and not just any directive with that rarity.

[solar pike]

All other events that excluded exchange, formation, Dominion, Burial,and Scavenger armadas were specifically mentioned. and now with Xindi armadas it is hard to keep track unless they specify which they did not! Oh and did I forget to mention swarm, borg, and the now defunct Doomsday armadas as well🤦🏻‍♀️ they should Specify what’s excluded or what specifically it is FKRC

[warm cave]

Incorrect. There have been countless events that had that designation and included rare and epic solos. This event was a huge failure for accurate communication. It he community isn’t asking for much. Just clear and concise information. Your personal attack of against dream stating he didn’t read right is unwarranted and grossly inaccurate given how events with this exact description scored very differently in the past.

[fluid gust]

i don't remember them regularly using quotation marks.
i remember events with the same or similar wording, but never with quotation marks.
quotation marks show it's not a description of an item type, but the exact item name.

spend a rare armada directive
would've left room for interpretation.
spend a 'rare armada directive'
takes that away.

[woven tulip]

It basically means super weapon. Here is one from call of duty called the wunderwaffe 😂. It’s not at all offence to Germans it simply means “Super Weapon” and Xindi weapon in NX-01 was a super weapon

[oblique basin]

And you don't seem to understand that the term Wunderwaffe was a nazi german term; this is historical. That other games have used it makes it worse, not better. Unless you are German yourself, I suggest you gain some cultural sensitivity.

[primal plover]

@full swan Would it be possible in the future to have an 1-1 exchange for event currency (currently Enterprise coins) to latinum? I have 315 left that will now sit in my inventory forever because I have no option to spend it!

[woven tulip]

Ok discord blocked my response. In short go cry to Reddit or shut the hell up. I am German btw and no way whatsoever does the term Super Weapon bother me. Try next time instead of posting random articles to actually pick up a book and read about the real stuff and how it is still used in modern society today. If you do have problems with video games having these types of naming conventions then go make an official complaint to that company directly. This discord is not the place for that.

[fresh frost]

I can think of a few worse options for translation of that event, for sure.
Can I suggest we all move on from it though?

[oblique basin]

seems like you're getting more bent up over it than I am dude. Sure, happy to move on. Gave scopely the message, which was my intention. It's you guys who are getting more upset than I am. Laughable.

[pseudo coral]

At this point you are trolling. Stop trying to whip up a storm. The weaponry in question relating to WW2 is fascinating. Anyone who's bothered to study it woulld find this 80 year old tech interesting not offensive. The V2, Gustav, Panzer etc. Wunderwaffe is not offensive.

[oblique basin]

Newsflash. I'm not trying to whip up a storm lol. Easy fix: you guys stop bringing up my comment. Move on 😂
I'm not going to reply to any more comments, which I would hope you'd have the same decency to do as well. 🖖

[warm cave]

Name the events whatever you want. Advise people to be less sensitive. History is history.

[mild sand]

Trick question….. what were we supposed to do with the medical records?

[oblique basin]

I've wondered that too! Good question.

[mild sand]

Another trick question…. I was # 6 on two leaderboards (firmly) if I am suspended for two days, do I not get the reward ?

[fresh frost]

If it ends more than 24hrs before you get back into game, I think you lose the chance to claim it

[warm cave]

I didn’t play the game for 2 years and still got a payout from an slb 2 years later lol. Not sure if that was supposed to happen

[ashen heath]

In which system can a Level 56 player kill Level 61+ ships? Seriously Scopely?! WTF?

[fresh frost]

buy a new ship, obviously (yes, it's a silly event)

[marble sierra]

https://i.imgur.com/K9OUjhi.png also ops 56 .. something must be wrong on scoeply

[warm cave]

I’m ops 42 killing 60 exborg. Not sure bout 61 ships though but how much harder can it be?

[indigo oracle]

You cant reach them. 56er ships havent got the necessary warprange

[novel mango]

New event store has Picard E Troi E but old man riker not riker e, why?

[compact ether]

This Cardassian hostile event for battle passes is even more tedious than the Doomsday Worm events were. 😒

[balmy totem]

For the love of god please stop running the Cardassian BP event in its current form unless you add extra high level systems.

[compact crane]

The cardassian hostile hunt is the worst event ever. No scaling at all for 50+ There’s one system for 50 plus and you have to kill way too many.

[boreal coyote]

cause he's in the syndicate event 💸

[terse harbor]

@full swan Can you check the store for the Easter BP. The unlock elite BPs don't appear to have the actual unlock, just a solitary BP point.

[halcyon goblet]

military supremacy := build a ship you don't have or tier up what you dont have or kill 500 enemies you barly can beat 💩

[mortal tundra]

Even with the purchase of the elite battle pass. Doing 9 pulls/5 shards max each time/only nets you 45 shards.
You still have eggs left over.
This is precisely why the gimmicks don’t work.
I don’t need leftover eggs. 🍳

[civic pasture]

only players that dont have the ships/power appropriate to their ops get that event. its a sign that your ops is higher then it should be

[oblique basin]

Anyone have an ideas on who they calculate who gets that event?

[halcyon goblet]

what is the logic in: "you are too weak therefore you get something you cannot archive since you are too weak"?

[civic pasture]

the logic is give you an event you are to weak to do so that if you want to do it you'll power up/spend.

[boreal coyote]

i was the 6th strongest 46 player on my server [ by power rankings ] - i get the event. I can only assume its because i have one 42 ship? i have 2 46 ships.

[barren pasture]

if scopley keeps doing this dumb event, can they at least add higher lvl hostiles. having to kill 60-90 hostiles based on spawn rate isn't fun for high ops

[oblique basin]

To be fair, I've managed to do it every time. Maybe it's to push you to get stronger?

[boreal coyote]

@full swan Honestly I hope you guys have charts for the most requested changes, This comes up over and over and over and clearly players over 50 very much dislike this event. I know back in the day Jess A etc tried to do this. I hope you have a better system for logging very frequent requests [ better than the black hole that this discord is ].

[winter narwhal]

Wrong Deanna in the event store - loads of people have the wrong icons

[boreal coyote]

Daily syn claim, double pull, daily chest claimed. Tier one unobtainable with out multiphasic or extremely expensive s31 exchange. You wonder why players are frustrated.

[hazy hare]

It’s HEROIC. Almost all heroic events are for expend money.

[boreal coyote]

at least it's labeled that way now. Still doing double normal used to mean something. It does in fact require more work and it used to be obtainable. That does not change the fact thats it's annoying....

[warm cave]

What your ops level? Ops 42 maxed mantis I’ll hit first tier

[barren pasture]

pretty sure it's going into the blackhole 😂

[boreal coyote]

47 [ ops'd up this weekend ], T7 mantis, thats prob it since I dropped mantis as soon as I could for pilum. Still it doesn't feel good. I have a very hard time seeing the difference between 2 of the actian buffs [ they look way too similar ]. Brought up the design of the icons numerous times in this black hole.... [ plus pilum is just way faster and you get way more ]

[warm cave]

If you have pilum run 5 tal and georgio for actian. Don’t use mantis

[boreal coyote]

i don't 🤣 [ i mean i dont run mantis - waste of time ]

[paper hazel]

WTAF is this? $10 for one point. That is some serious greed.

[zenith wing]

that's the elite track unlock with a confusing item name. the points are in a different, normal pack

[half flare]

Please stop putting such low limits on event store purchases. Just give me the loot you think I should get via events, and let me decide how to invest it. You creating a few essential-to-max officers and a bunch of worthless ones is not my problem.

[paper hazel]

Yeah, my wife bought that one by accident too because she couldn't tell which one was the unlock. 5 minute slow mode is a little ridiculous, y'all.

[novel mango]

Still makes no sense.

[full swan]

Totally get where you're coming from. I'm hoping to increase the team's awareness of the issues that are raised here and hope that in the future you won't think of this discord as a black hole.

Might not happen overnight, but that's what I'll be working towards. Phase 1 was improving communication to players, next I'll be working on improving players communication to the team.

[last lance]

Why at ops 47, when other ops 47's in my alliance have it, do I NOT get the military supremacy event? Why I asks....why?

[mortal tundra]

Why is the event store giving an error when trying to pull multiple 5 shard pulls on the same officer?
If your intent was to only allow 9 shards of a single officer vs 9 pulls of a chest(5 chest) pull.
The option to make a 3 or 5 chest pull should be unavailable.
This is unnecessarily complicated.
Please respond @full swan .
Thanks.🙏

[boreal coyote]

understood, I know its ruff and you have a really hard job. There is a balance that must be achieved between profitability and player retention. Player frustration leads to loss of retention, Lots of people leaving beacause the juice isn't worth the squeeze. Truth be told, I see many many of the same comments here over and over with no official "we are looking at it". Perfect example is Hostile Hunt Carsassians for high level players [ it's easy for me ]. I know changes are not overnight - but historically [ besides new content ] Old content sits on a shelf with little to no updates and is only discussed here - in what hopefully going forward feels less bloke hole'ish. Thanks for listening.

[full swan]

Can you dm me a pic of the error code you're getting?

[mortal tundra]

I restarted after your request, and the option to pull 5 chests was removed.
Only option for a single chest or 3 chest remains.
Checked on both ios and pc.

[full swan]

I've been a CM for a little while, and my main objective has always been to improve communication between the players and the team. The tricky thing about Official is that there are so many voices it can be hard to determine which issues we need to prioritize.

I'm still settling in, but down the line I want to try and bring members of the team here for Q&As so they can hear players issues hirst hand.

I appreciate your perspective and I'm aiming to improve things.

[waxen mango]

I have had two issues this morn. I had the same problem as above did a 5 chest pull on Premium and it gave back nothing. And also your problem with Easter BPass is not an art problem. I bought the unlock and it is still not unlocked. I hope compensation packages will be forthcoming to correct both these issues

[mortal tundra]

This confirms only 9 officer shards are available/doctor t’ana, and the others.
This isn’t clearly disseminated @ the beginning of the event.
Players who purchased the elite pack may feel its underwhelming in light of what’s offered.

[deep halo]

New CM and still no change in cardassian bp event. But LLAP gift che is amazing. At ops 56 800 officers xp push up my progression a lot

[lethal jasper]

it did not, infact, unlock the elite track for me.

[mortal tundra]

The $99 pack unlocked elite. It includes the 20,080 eggs as well.
With the 27,600 additional eggs, you have enough for 59.5 officer shards.
12 different officers are offered/but your limited to 9 shards of any particular officer.
Letting players choose to use all the shards on a particular officer (as many as needed to unlock), would eliminate most issues anyone has with how the event has been presented. 🖖

[lethal jasper]

the one I bought unlocked nothing for me at all.

[wet crag]

really; advertising the battlepass to "pick your officer" and then putting shard limits on them all, what a joke,

[graceful valve]

9 of the biggies. 12 of the small

[waxen mango]

me either and they claimed it was just the wrong art but whoever put the package together put 1 BPass Point instead, Why would anyone buy just one BPass pioint?

[mint cobalt]

Cardassian hostile hunt is painful for older servers when 80% of the server is in one system facing for hostiles

[last lance]

Why at ops 47, when other ops 47's in my alliance have it, do I NOT get the military supremacy event? Why I asks....why?

[queen kindle]

The reqs to get the event have not been disclosed, and only some players will get it.

[last lance]

Thanks for the answer, even though it tastes like horseradish and cough syrup.

[winged briar]

So for the Supremacy event, i have to kill 500 hostiles i can't reach at my level, thanks 🤣

[queen kindle]

Do the 60 freebooters count? In an earlier run of that event, the non-English versions had a translation issue on the scoring card.

[winged briar]

They do count! Thank you!

[median belfry]

Can you please bring back event store back? Normally it was 7 days after end of arc online..

[rancid furnace]

1st or 2nd ops 36, pending which ships I have out. Above and right below me are 38 and 39's. Only thing that might be problematic is that I'm juggling too many ships for upgrades, so mats I have to spread around and I'm relatively late with Stella and Voyager. Don't have Defiant and blocked in Q by not having a Mantis. I have no issue killing the 40's either. But hey, tomorrow I'm 37 and still have some research undone, maybe that's part of the formula.

[nimble dragon]

I was initially tempted to get the Easter pass but after seeing the cap on office shards I the event store I’ll pass

[solar citrus]

I agree, I'm not a heavy spender but do look hard at the Battle Passes to see what value they bring. Limiting shard pulls is a hard stop for me so I will never buy a Pass that tells me how I have to spend my rewards.

[rapid eagle]

After looking at the easter egg event store and figuring out the max easter eggs you can earn from the BP and overflow sms, the question I have is: Why is there a limit on how many officer shards you can pull of a particular officer? There's only so many easter eggs/currency we can get out of this week if you are free to play or buy the mini BP. why not let players put all their limited currency into 1 officer they really want to get? and it really doesn't make sense when you have packs in the store that sell the easter eggs currency. why would somebody buy a pack if it's not going to go towards the officer they really want? the officer shard limit doesn't make sense for your free to play/bp players and shoots your own monetization in the foot too.

[glad surge]

Limit 9. Thanks Scopeless.

[tiny halo]

Having these cardassian events for the daily is awful! Need to create more and higher level systems if you are going to keep running these. Does anyone at scopely actually play the game? You know it'd solve so many issues to hire or at least consult with a serious player of your own game.

[fervent meteor]

@storm ridge
Scopely being scopely !!! I offer ya this wonderfull pack full of event currency.....
But you can't spend on the things you want or need, just the ones i allow......🤣🤣🤣🤣
No new deals !!! And no one there will read any of this !!!!
Sorry Rev, but i would add this in the survey...🤣🤣

[fleet anchor]

Oof, over 700 of these Cardassian hostiles to kill. This has been hours long and still not done.

[kind abyss]

Is it possible to give us another 24 hours for the event store? @wanton copper

[queen kindle]

It should not take that long, I'd aim for a higher level target.

[wicked oriole]

Agreed!! Can we bring this back - tons of players that were finishing events to earn more currency and then its gone - normally it is up a couple days after the arc ends (even if the contents are not what we would have hoped)

[hybrid marsh]

What events you can't even load game without crashing how can there be events if there's no game.

[wicked oriole]

The arc store normally runs a few days after the arc is complete - this time it did not and now plenty of players that have currencies they could not spend

[icy marsh]

@full swan appreciate the calendar you put up but can you please make it more accurate by not hiding events? the syndicate xp was dropped as a surprised and it really punishes people who arent able to time the pulls to make it

[covert ginkgo]

I’m super confused as to what part of a countdown timer is not clear when something is ending? They also added in-game announcements for multiple days ahead of the store ending.

[wicked oriole]

I've also recently traveled 10,000 miles so personally all my stuff is messed up regardless - but again situations are different and there are always various reasons for things getting missed

[oblique basin]

I have the exact same with T'Ana, 1 short. 😭

[astral talon]

The formula isn't known exactly, but a general rule seems to be your ships. If you have the top ships you can grab at your Ops for your given reps, you're almost guaranteed not to get Supremacy. e.g. I got it 3-4 months ago bc I had the Fed rep for a Northcutt, but hadn't built it. I deliberately held off on my Crozier this month, thinking I might get it. Sure enough, CoW hit yesterday and I had Supremacy. Built the Crozier and now have effectively guaranteed I won't see Supremacy until 60 (and then only if I hold off on an epic until CoW).

@full swan Can we get some action on the time difference between Daily Events and other resets? iirc in the past, these have been lined up after a short period

[small narwhal]

It doesn’t work that way: shipyard and rep for 3 epics last month, none of them built, no mil sup. One g4 epic built this month, got mil sup.

[astral talon]

nb "general rule." (Granted, that may not be the best wording, but it seems to hold true in many, many cases). There are other factors that no one's been able to figure out. It's also worth noting that having the rep may not be enough either. It's got something of a push-to-spend element, so if your faction credits weren't even close, that could be a factor. But I also want to say that Supremacy was never in effect for G3 epics (but that's been years). It's possible it's only a event for UC's and rares. Like I said, "The formula isn't known exactly..."
EDIT: All that said, if you've got a new faction ship to "unlock," and you don't need it for an event, saving it for CoW is a good idea.

[small narwhal]

No, this is all just rationalizations made by various people for an event that nobody has any idea how it works. Mil sup has always been there for g3 epics, it used to stop at ops 38. I had the credits for two g4 epics last month.

[astral talon]

OK, well, don't take any advice from the people who seem to pretty routinely get Supremacy bc they follow some basic rules. 🤷‍♂️ We absolutely have ideas how it works. We just don't have it nailed down perfectly. Still, your loss, not mine. I couldn't care less whether you get Supremacy going forward. Others will follow the advice and login in to the nice surprise of Supremacy bc they have a ship they haven't built and they meet the other "hidden" criteria.

[small narwhal]

That’s what an astrologer would say too 🤣 People just have a hard time accepting “we don’t know” as a full and accurate answer. I couldn’t care less whether I get mil sup or not, and I will note that I managed to login to that nice surprise by completely ignoring the advice 😆

[astral talon]

Sure, but you still met the criteria. That's the point. You likely missed it for G3 bc you were 39 (per Scopely, no 39-40 Supremacy, and no 61+), esp if you blew through 38 (which I hope most folks do). There's a lot of data that points strongly to having a ship to build (that you haven't built before) in your Ops range. I mean, sure, you can still log in to the surprise by ignoring it, but you might also log in to the surprise next month if you don't ignore it and delay one of the G4 UC's. Build both now, are you're pretty much guaranteed not to get it. It's obviously the player's preference, but those that wonder why they didn't get it benefit from an explanation of the best model we've got for triggering it: don't "unlock" faction ships for your Ops until CoW if you want Supremacy. You can chalk it up to astrology or rationalizations, but I've had Supremacy twice since they kicked it in for G5 bc I held off on building faction ships (accidentally in the case of the Northcutt and deliberately in the case of the Crozier). Many others get the same results from doing the same things. You did too, you just don't realize it yet. 🖖
EDIT It's also worth acknowledging that there's quite likely some spender element involved in it all. That is, ofc, Scopely 101, lol

[boreal coyote]

I kinda agree with this. I was the 6th biggest lvl 46 on my server with 2, lvl 46 ships and I got it.

[astral talon]

Yeah. it's important to keep saying that we don't know all of the factors that go into triggering, just that there appears to be a high correlation to having a faction ship in your Ops range that you could build but haven't. It's clearly not the only criteria, bc people get it outside that window. It's not even a requirement, as far as we can tell. That said, far too many people have gotten Supremacy, both accidentally and by design, that met that one requirement for it to be dismissed. I got it at every point in G3, and have gotten it at every point in G5 since they expanded the ranges. People can dismiss it all they want, and some people will follow the advice and not get it. Scopely has more going on than simply the ships. That said, if someone can hold off on a ship until CoW, they've increased their chances of Supremacy, even if they haven't guaranteed it.

[small narwhal]

I’m ops 50, and I have gotten mil sup several times way back in the 30s. You can get if you ignore it, you can get it if you don’t ignore it: that’s kinda what “we don’t know” means. The reason to delay building a ship until mil sup is to have an easy way of completing it, not because we have an idea if it actually affects the chances of getting it or not.

Also, if you’ve only got it twice in g5 so far, you haven’t gotten it every time since it was expanded. This is the third run of military supremacy since it was extended.

[astral talon]

No, we do have an idea of whether it affects it. We just don't know what else is at play. If the formula was "must have a faction ship that hasn't been built AND be in a certain Ops range BUT can't have power over X UNLESS you spend $Y/mo BUT we also have a 'nudge F2P to spend' element even if you've built in the past week," I could still confidently state there was a high corellation to having a ship available. Of all the reports, that is the one, most common factor. It is literally an idea about what triggers, supported by lots of reports confirming it. It's not 100% opaque, with absolutely no reason to follow some common guidelines. We're not shooting in the dark here. We just don't have a perfect view of the target. That's the different between astrology/rationalizaions and "rational" deductions. We're firmly in the latter. I mean, disagree all you want. It's certainly your right. That said, others will read this, remember it, hold off on that new ship until CoW and find they're in the large group of folks who trigger Supremacy bc they did that and matched whatever other criteria Scopely has in place. Of course, some won't, and that sucks, bc it would be nice if Scopely would just open up about it, but when you've got a solid working theory on how to make Event X happen, ignoring that theory bc it doesn't explain the 1-in-10 chance it doesn't happen is not rational.
To your second point: exactly. Last CoW, i didn't have any ships I could build in those ranges. Had all the G5 UC's available to me and I wasn't 56 yet. But sure, I should have said that I got it everytime I met the criteria for Ops and unbuilt ships. I won't get it anymore until 60
(edited for typos and clarity)

One more thought: you still match the criteria. You got Supremacy this month bc you had a ship for your Ops you haven't built (had the ops, rep and credits to build, right?). The part we don't know is why some people meet that criteria and don't get Supremacy. That's why it's an idea and not a fact. It's not "You are guaranteed to get Supremacy if you can build a faction ship." It's "Building a faction ship is one of the apparent criteria for Supremacy... plus other Scopely shenanigans." For whatever reaosn, Scopely just prevents it from happening to some folks. I think it's a bug, bc that would track w/ Scopely, but it could be related to some secondary algorithm abt whether someone is likely to spend or not. That said, you've still confirmed that you got Supremacy when you still had a ship to build.
Anyway, I've said all I need to. You've got the advantage of no timer, so it's difficult to have a conversation about this. Do what you want, ofc. Hopefully others will see this, follow the advice, and get Supremacy. If even one person (other than me) beats Scopely at their own game, I'm happy 😄

[small narwhal]

There is no large body of data on which to base any theory yet. Rev is still collecting surveys over the last three months to try to identify criteria which might increase your chances. People posting on discord isn’t data, it’s just anecdotes from a small minority of players, and there are enough offsetting anecdotes from other players who get it one month and not another even though they’re in exactly the same place according to your hypothesis.
(Not sure what you’re talking about with timers, I operate in slow mode too)

[astral talon]

Oh. Maybe I've just seen your "typing" thing. I thought that didn't show in slowmode until you could post. See? With respect to Discord, I wouldn't claim to have any ideas. 😄
As for data, Djz's been at this for well over a year. For at least as long as I was G3 (2y ago?). Rev is new to the detective game bc of the expansion. It could well be that Scopely changed the formula, though! Hadn't thought of that. If it's the "old" formula, the ships matter. Maybe in the expansion it's random. This would, of course, mean Scopely wasn't lazy in expanding it. Anyone wanna take that bet? 😄

[small narwhal]

I don’t really see much over on djz discord either, though I’m not gonna go through all his streams 😆 Found this though, from the old days.

[novel mango]

@full swan Pay to win at its finest. Even with Bp, dailey turn in and double mantis pull you can’t even get close to getting the first level of this event. #quality.

[astral talon]

Yeah, 3 years. That's about right. And there's the part that's the 1-in-10. The ships-available theory seems to fail for about 10% of folks. I think Scopely has a "lock" in there somewhere, sort of like having to lock your Ops 72h before arcfall, but in reverse. There have been more than a few "I built it during the last arc." So again, this is an idea, not fact. There's still enough to get in the way of us being able to say exactly what needs to happen. (I'll also add that I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that spending real currency on ship BP's in the store activates some sort of "fvored nation" clause and gives that player Supremacy next CoW). We know enough to strongly recommend saving a faction ship for CoW. Works about 9/10 times. The rest, well... Scoplayed. 😦

[astral talon]

A few things:

1. Scopely is aware of the "Free pull" rule, and they plan for it, so you're always best-advised to wait for reset to pull Syndicate from the Mantis refinery.
2. They expect your Mantis to be at X level, relative to your Ops.
3. They may also expect players to buy the elite track of the BP. IF true, you're right about it not being F2P. All I know is I very nearly hit the 2nd MS every time the event rolls around, and the only spend I do that would help is the Elite track. I'm pretty sure I could get it w/ just the daily amount of Syndicate XP from Mantis, Dailies, and Ghrush himself 3 times (so pull right after reset)
   EDIT: yep: 6600 (T11 Mantis 2-chest) + 500 (daily) + 500 (Ghrush) = 7600. 6600 * 3 *5 = 11400

[novel mango]

I save up battle pass turn ins, daily and Mantis pulls until after reset every time. My mantis is maxed for my ops. All that not even close don’t even close. The more they try to bleed players dry the less I will and have paid. I get that they need to pay the bills but they are driving aways players with their tactics. Maybe spend less on commercials that flat out lie about how the game works.

[astral talon]

Then you missed something. Not sure what your Ops/Mantis tier is, but I edited above to show the math. You're def doing something wrong if you can't nail it w/ BP. What tier is your Mantis?

Sources of free SyndXP: Mantis daily (x3), Ghrush (x3), Daily Goals (Bajoran favor), S31 store (x3), BP. Scopely is considering all of those in the calculation for F2P to get the first milestone. They may also now consider the Stone of Memory. So far, for any player whose Mantis is maxed for their Ops, and who pulls 3x and saves BP for SyndXP, that's been enough to get the first milestone... barely. Not saying I like it, mind you, just that it's how they've designed it. Hardcore F2P can do it. Everyone is SOL 😦

[zenith wing]

after this morning i'm decently past t1; this is mantis x3 (tiered it, dailies x1, daily claim (no primes) x2, s31 x2, stone of memory x1, and today's free track of the pass. didn't need to tier the mantis as it turns out. you need to have some extra wave credits on hand, but that seems to be mostly it past the normal "refine mantis twice and open the battlepass's syndicate xp during".

[boreal coyote]

only other fact I'd add. I have never bought a $100 pack - wonder if that has anything to do with it 🤣

[last lance]

Best answer I have gotten on it. Thank you bud.

[lethal jasper]

could only get 9 shards from the event store... 😕 There should not be a limit on those when the only event reward options are limited crew...

[prisma temple]

starting the BP/FP and some events 1 hr earlier than the rest is borderline suspicious and un-gamesman like conduct.....marketing crookedness is grounds for anger and retalliation....please align them

[true stirrup]

Make the event currency’s relevant for something after the event is over for those that don’t get a chance to spend it all. Having all these random event currencies and nothing to do with them is lame. At least reuse the currency types for future events.

[mortal tundra]

I have never gotten it. Built all the ships starting @ops lvl26/legionary/28 gladius/34 augur/ ops 39 issjelly/skipped all g4 uc.
Built ops46 pilum/ ops 50 tribune/.
Ops lvl 53 corvus.
After completing thefaction grinds and starting new faction grinds, built korinar for klgn grind, then vorcha.
Next grind in a couple days will build northcut.
Currently @13.5billion klgn.

[quiet shale]

So this is the first I'm hearing of this 72h rule, so if I want ops 40 BP I need to finish building ops 40 72h before the new BP hits ? 😭

[icy marsh]

there are people in different time zones, the reset for me happens at midnight or 1am. no way am i intentionally staying up all that time just for a CHANCE syn xp is running the next day. they should put it on calendars and stop punishing people trying to just get one simple milestone

[icy marsh]

there is a LOCK but the amount of time is not fully certain. it could be an hour before arc drops, it could be 3 days... i've never heard a concrete answer. and it only affects the bp rewards, the other event rewards will change (as long as it starts after your ops change)

[patent raptor]

I'm ops 30 so might buy the bps for centurion but hold onto them for the end of next month to see if it appears. Lots of handy UC and rare crystal.
https://stfc.space/events/2024-03-28/e560b058fded4013c8953815ef1cc0dd6d4efaa9/eyJzbmFwc2hvdHNEYXRlcyI6WyIyMDI0LTAzLTI4IiwiMjAyNC0wMy0yNyIsIjIwMjQtMDMtMjYiXX0

[deep lichen]

Cheap skate Scopely putting limits on event officers. Killing this game softly one day at a time

[dusty plinth]

very balanced 🙈

[lethal jasper]

I still havent recieved the flashpass unlock I paid for.

[queen kindle]

There've been several reports of players leveling up ops within that window and still getting the bp of the higher level one. At least one report had the player level just before the maintenance drop and still successful. There may be a lock, but it isn't definitely at 72h on every bp.

[queen kindle]

That's a CS issue. You should continue communicating with them on your ticket.

[lethal jasper]

Ive been trying. first the guy said I should give it 24 hours to show up, it didnt then they said I definitely purchased it and they were going to try to get it to me. then the last communication was they were going to continue reviewing the issue. that was about 12 hours ago and its been 48 hours since I purchased. I'm trying to be patient but it is getting very frustrating, especially since its a shorter event.

[fluid gust]

i don't know your ops level/bracket, but they may be punching up really high.

I'm ops45, but with the right crew i can go for lvl55 aquatic battleships.

[covert ginkgo]

Aquatics are definitely where the points are, so if you can’t hit them, you’ve no chance in the SLB. Can certainly tell who has the NX01 and who doesn’t.

[dusty plinth]

nice 😃
My Ops is 49. The event cannot be completed without an NX. I would like to see a distinction made in the event as to who has an NX and who doesn't

[fluid gust]

if you don't have an NX-01 it'll definitely disadvantage you in NX-01 events.

[unreal coral]

👀

[astral talon]

Given the comments that followed, maybe it’s not in effect anymore. That would be nice! Still, given Scopely’s track record, and the fact that things are rarely certain, especially when they’re easier on us, the 72h rule for Ops + arcfall is one I’d still follow. Enough have upgraded Ops inside that window and NOT gotten the upgraded BP (myself included) that I’m certainly not going to risk it. 😦

[astral talon]

[boreal coyote]

Re: Xindi damage report / rewards. Tier 1 reward for me is 3K ex borg credits , 500 Uncommon and 400 Rare credits. This is just plain peanuts in the grander scheme [ Lowest tier is 150, 25 Uncommon, 20 Rare] . My ex borg Crit Floor 3 is 6,750 Uncommon EX borg Credits. This Favor is basically mandatory for loop progression. I have had 100% participation in this loop since it came out. I have also been forced to use these same credits for the NX01 / fine. My point is [ not counting packs ] these newer loops are just long and hard. Without pack purchases you guys keep making super long loops with high hurdles. Bajor was kinda of the same, but you really didn't need the favors in the same way, sure we had favors to increase drops but we didn't need favors to hunt hostiles. I wont even talk about the levels / ships here which is another issue. I think the ex borg additions and 31 are awesome. I'll really think that they will be awesome when the loops are nearing completion. The problem here is the just plain work / time required to get them to that point. Events in general and def Xindi damage report just have a really, really low payout. Of course this event also favors people that bought packs for crit floor prime and bought to get crit floor favor to level 5 already.... Kinda like Mining monday, only whip owners up top, no reason to compete since lower tier rewards are garbage. Kinda like every event really. I would hope you guys review rewards and tiering rewards in general, this one is very much not worth it when say 20 pilum hulls would get me less than 1/13 of what I need to my next favor. Buying packs for everything cant be the answer for a game if you want a game to sell packs for.

[slender current]

Whats the point of limiting shards in the battlepass event? You give us basically no materials and then limit how we can spend them so we end up spending shards into characters we cant otherwise source and still not leveling them making the net outcome of the event... literally nothing

[north granite]

If sourcing was more fair people would spend less.
The whole point of the drip sourcing on officers is to frustrate more people into buying packs.

[slender current]

literally cant pay for any of the officers in the event. its even counterproductive to selling event currency in the store. why buy event currency if you can only get 9-12 shards of any officer? Scopely is bad at their own pay to win BS.

[livid zephyr]

Why didnt they put Borg Cube BPs in the Borg event? thats so lame, still no chance to get any Borg Cube BPs for so many people

[quaint parrot]

different content, in time and contest. don't worry: if "the community's feedbacks" are among us they will add Cube BPs in the event store...or not: resistance is futile.

[burnt granite]

FTFY

[indigo oracle]

#bringbackfractionhuntffs

[barren pasture]

in the future perhaps let people know there will be an upcoming ex-borg research event so they don't waste all their exborg creds on favors/research the day before for another event

[novel mango]

Why would they do that! I mean that would require them to care.

[barren pasture]

Lol true

[tepid wadi]

What is this garbage loot, how do you expect anyone to pay for it

[indigo oracle]

If you bought some Packs in the past than your treasury would be bigger

[manic estuary]

So we're just not having borg meta any more?

[tawny falcon]

Please stop putting limits on the number of officer/blueprints shards we can redeem event currency for. If there was no limit, I could have unlocked another level on 7of9 with the easter currency. But instead I hit my limit and had to spread the rest around into other officers that were no where near promoting. I don't know why scopely insists on doing things like this, I would probably buy more things if I didn't constantly feel like there was some 'gotcha' hiding around the corner of every purchase that I'm not seeing until it's too late.

[willow coral]

it's probably done to stop

• the whales/medium/light spenders from buying event loot packs and destroying the economy for f2p 🤔
• the whales destroying the economy for medium dolphins
• big whales doing the same to smaller whales/dolphins

[feral finch]

Let this game what's is - a game. And content, you can't do now, do it later. If your current pilum not strong enough as a f2p gamer don't hesitate. It's really just a stupid little game with some fun, if someone have fun also at times with trouble. This game should not be the gamers life.

[ruby ivy]

Bonus refinery use to be something to look forward too, now it just seems a waste of resources to do it.

[brazen merlin]

I agree, I've pulled less of the 2 minerals via the bonus refinery then my normal refinery so apparently the word means "bonus" but for who?!

[tiny terrace]

I really hope the rewards for the rush hour events are better than this.

[lethal jasper]

I think a rush hour april fools event looks interesting. no real details yet but has potential

[vernal marlin]

Typo…. Missing word

"Make sure you're crewed properly before claiming the start token... But we won't tell you what to be crewed for good luck!"

really?

[small vigil]

Put some fairer PvP brackets for the talios event as a lvl 52 I have zero chance of beating lvl 65 players I can only complete by loses - vemet crew to half my repair bill

[signal wraith]

It's an April Fools event right? There's gotta be a trick to the final MS

[hearty stag]

So there’s going to be some kind of hostile that pays big points but we have to guess which? Meh

[boreal coyote]

What does Q say? What’s the tooltip?

[gritty surge]

Level 1 ships?

Try a Qs.

[coarse prairie]

Is there a reason I don’t have this? Lovely, it just dropped, 5 minutes after starting the event…

[keen torrent]

I’ve killed xindi, borg and kling, all 1 point same with Texas class

[serene spindle]

Not swarm either

[valid knoll]

Q's were 0 points

[wide quartz]

This is a game and limits make you have to plan how you use gifts. Games should require strategy and decisions. You knew when you started that you could only get 12 shards. Did you check the officer you were getting shards for would only need 12? For the one I went after I would end up 1 short. But I knew that when I started. Now I only need 1 shard rather than 13.

[dusty plinth]

Nice April April 🤡 Good Work 🙈

[high aurora]

Half the time my ship won’t travel to Afritalis and my Talios ends up back at my base…..after restarting

[fiery hare]

they just want you to finish first 3 steps since the rewards for finishing sms and rush hour meta aren't worth anything

[flint oyster]

What's the catch with Q event 4000 is impossible

[keen torrent]

From the announcement channel

Commanders,

We have more information about some of the events that are happening this weekend!

Q is storming back into town, and as we all know, expect the unexpected with Q.

Q’s Rush Hour - SMS - 3/30: 4/2

Q is giving everyone three attempts to defeat their Rush Hour challenge. By heading over to the Gift Chest Tab when this is live, you can pick up one of your three tokens. Upon claiming your token, the clock starts. You will have one hour to complete the challenge, so **make sure you’re crewed up and ready for everything before you claim your token. **

**As we all know, Q likes to sometimes pose impossible challenges to test our resolve, so don’t be discouraged if at first you don’t succeed against him. **

Maybe the future attempts are more points

[wide quartz]

April Fools joke

[flint oyster]

@wide quartz Not April so stupid 🤷‍♂️

[cedar dew]

read the points: 4-1-24
1st of April 2024

[coarse prairie]

And parsteel reward is also 4-1-24. However, they better give us the shard rewards

[dawn glacier]

We complained about the amount of screen time and grind per day. So they put in an event to try to trick us into grinding all day. I think I get it?

[knotty halo]

was für ein dummes event

[flint oyster]

3 attempts to kill 4000 hard pass meh to that event

[cedar dew]

I only do the 14 kills and take the bounty for the first 3 steps, very good ratio effort/gain.

[echo geode]

Is it 3 chances per day or 3 chances for whole event?

[pastel stump]

Event resets

[hollow lichen]

This forced pvp is such a waste of time and resources, ops locked ships but 1 big bracket in 1 system....

[terse pewter]

dont do it rewards not worth it anyways 🤷

[honest crane]

The writers, for the events have a unique talent for generalization and obscurity. Select the rush-hour when you are properly crewed and ready. I have not done the event, but is it PVP? PVE? What type of ship are we going against so we can use the battle triangle?

[quaint swan]

Killing 15 lvl swarms give 2 points

[alpine widget]

Not to mention you would hit the daily hostile limit 3x

[clever robin]

its so much fun to read how ppl dont try to find out if there is a solution and instead just start ranting...

#💬-general-feedback message

[round moth]

<@&509690975057215489> If everything plays out as expected I think the event description is perfect. "the impossible (4124 hostiles) can become the improbable (410 hostiles), and the improbable, possible (X hostiles)." Great job!

[keen torrent]

And it kept my total from the previous round

[vagrant topaz]

It’s a Q event, this actually makes sense.

[late yoke]

Last round is actually opening two gifts instead of 41 NPCs

[warm kestrel]

sweet event. was just collecting my stuff real quick before doing non-game stuff and low and behold I unwittingly started a 1 hr event. Maybe next time put the event starting button somewhere else?

[patent raptor]

Great April Fool's Event - easy to complete, lots of UC and rare gas resources. Well played Scopely 👏

[worthy gazelle]

You guys playing a different game than me???

[muted obsidian]

Can't do talios pvp ship disappear mid warp,restart game and its back in base

[sand lintel]

that happened to me too (multiple times)... restart game and your ship will be at starbase

then you should be able to get back to that system

[novel patio]

Very nice and funny Q 3-event. Thank you 🤩👍

[oblique basin]

Thanks to the Q event, I've managed to hit my 2K hostile limit. Now, having needed to go and get some more plundered cargo for my amalgam... guess what, I've hit my limit and am getting NO loot.
Scopely, PLEASE, if you are going to run events where people have to hit literally thousands of hostiles, remove the 2K limit or at least expand it to a greater number. I've wasted exo's for nothing. I'm not a bot, just a hard working player.

[keen torrent]

Wow. I don’t know if I’ve ever hit that. Kudos to you for trying to get the big numbers….. must have been a tough go.

[oblique basin]

444 hostiles in 1st run. 410 finished in 2nd run with 20 minutes spare. Plus I was hitting freebooters all day prior to that for the megacube SLB (am in 1st place atm). I've been a busy girl... 😎 But now I can't hit any loot, rep, can't do my plundered cargo, actians... anything. I feel like all I can do now is twiddle my thumbs the rest of the evening 😭

[lapis perch]

4,000 hostiles in an hour, in Q event? What makes you think that event is doable?

[oblique basin]

1st run isn't. 2nd one definitely is.

[warm kestrel]

kill 14 and do something else for the rest of the hour

[lapis perch]

Won't let me edit my post so here it is

[warm kestrel]

yep, ur done. how bad do really want the 4-1-24 par?

[lapis perch]

I
I want the shards in the meta.

[fiery hare]

you need to wait till this sms is over. after that there will be a new key in chest store. than do the 14 points again and wait until sms is over after that you get a new key and with that one you finish the sms and get the shards too

[mortal tundra]

So its rd 1: do 14 hostiles. Then stop. / rd 2: do 14 hostiles then stop. / rd 3: adds the 1st and 2nd rds, then do enough to reach 41 hostiles, and your done.
Hitting the 4124 hostiles is a prank…4/1/24. The jokes on you. April’s fool. 🖖

[covert ginkgo]

Then wait till the 3rd event pops and do it. People really need to read the description on the event and use some critical thinking. 🧐

[prisma schooner]

I usually don't like Scopely special events, but this was one was pretty good. Enjoying watching people spinning their wheels over such a simple task.

[oblique basin]

Lol, you're probably right... but you also speak with the benefit of hindsight. Unknown event, who knew what was going to happen until at least a few people had gone through it. Either way - I enjoyed a challenge 🙂
Also, the date 4/1/24... kinda lost on Europeans. It's 1/4/24 for us 😄

[iron pivot]

also lost on Australians its currently 31st March

[fiery forge]

So my 3rd Q event shows open a gift… but I have no gift to claim… ok so 10min box counts but it said an event gift…

[mild ore]

Not sure if your serious, but if you are I hope you enjoyed the 4124 parsteel

[oblique basin]

LOL No-one can manage that first stage. It's impossible.

[lethal jasper]

The bracket window is too wide for the pvp event. It's basically like sending yourself to slaughter willingly 21 times to finish if you're on the lower end of the bracket. It's a bit demoralizing.

[patent raptor]

I thought that too. I have the weakest vidar on my server in my ops30 bracket so I just have to attack and lose 21 times. Not a fun event. I'd rather they add a Borg probe alternative scoring method so I can grind it out.

[shadow trellis]

Mines a Talos but is lvl locked at ops35 but I have lvl 41 players in my bracket what hope do I have against these , just another event to not bother with

[oblique basin]

That's a really good point. When you have a ship that is level locked, there's no way to compete with other players in higher levels even if you grind your ship out to max for that level. Scopely, you need to think about these things please.

[fluid lotus]

You could just try messaging someone (not that you should have to) and just simply trading the kills (because I’m ops 51 with like ops 59 in my bracket). I did that and had it done in less than 10 minutes. If the person you are trading with runs Vemet you can easily beat larger Talios’ with a PVP crew

[lethal jasper]

When there is a system it has to be done in some of the higher ops players in the bracket will sit in there and hit you as soon as you warp in, theres no way, really, to just trade kills.
Example of the power differences, my husband is an ops 50 player in my bracket now as I'm ops 42. His talios is around close to 5 times my talios power level.

[cold spoke]

Imagine being ops 35 and getting hit by players with a single ship that’s 100 mill more powerful than your overall power but it’s totally well balanced

[lethal jasper]

what ops 41 has a talios thats over 8-9 mill? or are you just talking about in general?

[shadow trellis]

🤣 lol don’t have to imagine it being ops35

[cold spoke]

Just in general a player with a 126 mill ship shouldn’t be in a bracket with players at 20 mill overall power

Scopely you mess up on a regular bases frustrating your players to pull an April fools joke that falls in line with many of the usual frustrating mistakes isn’t fun when it can be mistaken as what we usually expect from you

[noble citrus]

Super excited for the upgrade voyager event with a maxxed to ops voyager and research

[prime harness]

Not doing the Attack Pattern Tango event. Not for 30 points a loss.

[patent river]

a win is 70 pts.. its about half...

[woven tulip]

Never done it and never will. First time they introduced I laughed 😂 and said no chance.

[dusk frigate]

the fact that mega cube event didn't pop with the morning reset really screwed me, anyone else?

[boreal coyote]

i assumed it would happen

[cold junco]

I spent mega cube directives for nothing due to event times being completely messed up

[fast pumice]

so qs rush hour wants me to kill over 4k hostiles in 60m? how?

[molten marlin]

you don't, kill enough for the dilithium reward, wait an hour, pull the event token again, 2nd sms will be 410 kills, doable, but can also be skipped, do enough for the dilithium reward again, wait another hour to pull the 3rd and final event token, the 3rd sms just requires you to claim a 10m chest

[midnight summit]

I wish to say thank you scopely for the borg armada directives gift that I did not receive. Makes it real enjoyable to play this game, not!
