[graceful linden]

great concept, but the matchmakng is not even close to good.

[nova flicker]

i take the positive comments from earlier back, AS ALWAYS fix the frakkin lag scopely!!!!!

[fossil rune]

All they have to do is fix the teammate

[signal wraith]

It coulda been a 64. Scopely telling you to take your win when you get it lol

[versed grotto]

That's just it, with this matchmaking I'm 2w 4l on the event. One win we pulled it off by 23 points. The other win was a basic overpower on our side for once

[signal wraith]

Oh trust me, it's pure ca-ca and I know it. My first and only match today was myself at 51, a 50, and a 56 vs a 56, 57, and 59. I was completely useless. Luckily our 56 was beastly and their 59 was useless.

[spare creek]

Agreed. I wanted to play but can’t because I can’t get in. Same players in a loop getting all the points
Each squad should get split every new match

[real arrow]

Matching needs serious work. Leader a 52, joined by a 56 and a 57. Matched against a 65, a 67, and. 70! WTF????

[light canyon]

Well finally got to try that stupid arena 💩 don’t care for it and don’t find it to be a fair match. Won’t be doing that 💩 again . Just not worth it to do rewards suck and I find the whole thing sucks and just more promotion for bullying 💩 then on top of that it removes all my ships from systems and mines and doesn’t put them back that’s a crock of 💩.

[brave wigeon]

Why is a 40-52 bracket being matched against 55s? Serious problems with arena matchmaking

[thick locust]

while we are at it 2 minutes is way too long to wait

[viral socket]

<@&509690795536941056> I have the tokens, you won’t let me spend them and in game reporting is way to hard to send screen shots

[spare creek]

I reset game and it worked after getting same error

[last lance]

Boooo! Took you one week to make it not fun. The match ups…the 3v3 and the time all made it worse. I don’t know what the answer is but this is not it. Arenas are DEAD to me now. Sucks because last week I was raving about how much I liked it. Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

[light canyon]

Still fail to understand how ships with a captain that has no captain abilities can beat one that has captain abilities. That ain’t right at all.

[sinful stratus]

That's bad, but this is worse

[viral socket]

That worked. Thank you. Still not a fan of arenas.

[junior juniper]

ourr 40-50 arena squad got paired with a 53.. he wiped the floor with us

[ebon crystal]

Ok.... Either Scopely need to reduce the 2 minute repair to 1 min or 30 second or keep the 2 min but allow all ships to repair at same time. Instead of trying to make money by selling the repair tokens.... how about try to make money because players love the feature and want to grow their ships bigger to have more fun?

[fathom walrus]

Nice a 61 in a match capped at 57

[forest spear]

We had a match that was capped at 57 and the lowest player on the other team was a 57... 57, 60 and 61.

[floral folio]

I am struggling with balance on arena. It always one-sided. Much worse than 5v5. One player on one side is so far outpacing the whole other team that they camp on the boarder and kill everyone. It’s facing new servers vs old servers. Suggestions:

1. Pair based on ship power
2. Get rid of the ‘have a 43 form the group so it is locked to lvl 50’ and consider allowing joining a bracket. If the alliance only had 1 lvl 43 it is at an extreme disadvantage.
3. Consider age since ascension
4. Go back to 5v5 so it is more competitive instead of purely one sided
5. Make the event longer / run on a weekend.

[spring harbor]

arena is undoable for lower level 40s

[young jungle]

Explain how it's fair that 3 56 ops players get a 63 opponent

[fossil rune]

Getting stomp left and right

[daring ice]

<@&509690795536941056> The Arena 8 hour window late in the day is insufficient when an alliance is split between East and West coast time, the 3 hour time difference means the East coast is in bed half way through the 8 hours. Expand the Arena time window to 24 hours.

[fossil rune]

Also make ship ability free with a timer

[golden kiln]

Gotta tell you, I don’t think you’re ever gonna get more negative feedback than you have on this. Whatever changes you made were horrible. Made a very fun dynamic that had a lot of potential and ruined it. The matchups were completely terribly unfair.

[summer anchor]

Arena is pointless. The matchmaking is garbage. It's purely on the level and not the power of the players involved. Fix it or dump it.

[sharp hollow]

$copley's idea of a "fair" match-up

[spring harbor]

Yeah what a joke

[pearl dust]

at ops 55 i just love getting kicked around by 64.63 ,a 59,, Way to take a fun event and totally take all the fun out of it, and then punish us by taking our rep away, Bravo Scopley Bravo!

[sharp hollow]

Not only that, but knocking it down to 3 on 3 .... if even one player is having lag ... or if even one player isn't "on point" .... yer SoL .... at least w/ 5 on 5 ... you had a chance that one of the other team might be having the same issues

[pearl dust]

oh ya and then make us pay with the our none excising points to get repair speed ups. Wow guys Wow

[floral folio]

The arena rewards are unreal but these matches are winnable. Keep getting matched with 53-56 and my server is locked at 50. Pulling with 43’s helps some times but this is so frustrating I want to quit the game.
Add more
Make matching even
Make it so it can be more strategic….maybe 2 matchup systems so one power player cannot dominate the board.

[fluid robin]

Yeah. It says 2 min 20 seconds left, and then 30 seconds later, it ends and neither team reached 1000 points

[olive cape]

You guys brought some balance to slb's with the regional slb's where you compete with all other players of your own ops level. Thats what needs to happen for arenas. You sign up, it pulls together 6 random players all of the same ops level, creates 2 3-man teams from that group and off you go.

The ability to team up with your alliance mates is nowhere near as important as getting balanced matches. Playing with and against players of your own ops level is the best chance at balance you'll find.

[deft rain]

Arena 2.0 Feedback: Grade : D- .... i still like the idea of this feature, but it needs way more thought put into it and some hella changes: 1) Balance....Balance,,,,Balance, G4 players should not be paired against G5s, power not levels need to be the matchmaking decider. 2) Lag. really, pay your server bills, pvp events do not work with lag, and the game was crashing and freezing using the arena feature on top of the horrible lag. For what we pay into this game there should be ZERO lag on my gigabit internet connected device, it is not us, it is you.....3) 3x3 was no good as all it takes is one guy to not show up and you are hosed, also with 3x3 and hideous 2 minutes repairs we literally have no ships in play sometimes. 5x5 was OK, 4x4 might be better, maybe even SELECTABLE team size? Like every other pvp system has? 4) with a rep locked store, losing rep for a loss is just dumb, especially with how many losses are inflicted on us due to horrible balance, change this ASAP, make the arena rep like xp instead of tourney style scoring...I want to like this feature, the concept has promise, but as implemented it is unplayable.

[fair lantern]

You need to keep in mind those transitional levels that give players a categorically unfair advantage. You can't match a 55 and a 56, even with all else being equal, if the level 56 has acquired a Sanctus, it's a show-stopping vessel.

[green ibex]

Hey scopely.
Just to let you know , I only scored 290 points in the arena event over the first 2 runs … that’s how much time I have when you only run events for 8 hours ! Never had any problems with doing events , this is the first in 6 years now I can’t join an event ! Great job 👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[fossil rune]

Base matchmaking on shipyard level

[floral hound]

Please remove the hostile loot cap for arenas. If you are already at the cap, you WILL NOT GET LOOT FROM ARENA HOSTILES and cannot launch armadas to score points.

[tame terrace]

Okay, 3 v 3 worked out better in terms of opening it up more opportunities to join. I am not sure why people find it less fun. I think the best solution would be to do it like waves in that you can source people to join at server level (vs Alliance level), this should also allow you to narrow the range of ops levels that can do it together. The power differences right now are too great. It is no fun to slaughter or be slaughtered. One of the best match ups was the last one I did. It was neck and neck and you were really fighting to stay ahead and win. This has fantastic potential, you just need to fix a few things.

[tribal granite]

Arena feedback, week 2:

I think the 3v3 worked a lot better for the map size and for finding teams.

Matchmaking still needs work. I'm OPs 49 this week, and even though our server cap is 60, we consistently fought against OPs 61+ players.

Quite disappointed in the lack of fanfare. No SMS, no SLB, no freebie repair tokens, nothing. You have the foundation of a fun PVP mode, finally, so incentivize people to play it and make it more obvious when it's running.

Repair tokens are too expensive, at least at this point. At these early levels, a single repair costs more than a day's 3-pull from the claim worth of currency. This would be tolerable if you gave us some when the arena opens each week, but I had no tokens to use at all this week and couldn't rationalize getting any from the faction shop at that price.

I encountered a bug in one of the matches where the hostiles wouldn't drop directives any more.

[slow wasp]

Time frame for arenas is TOO SHORT. I had to work a long day today and had ZERO chance to participate.

[next vortex]

Finally got to play this round. 3v3 is perfect. An sms + slb to get some tokens to go with it would be nice. Im ops 49 and got worked by some g5 ships but also slapped some around with good teamwork. Fun event win or lose

[green mica]

Please don’t get me wrong. Arenas are amazing. You need to keep running them every week. Please don’t decide to spend 6 months “fixing” them. They’re great.
Couple things could be better though. Please go back to 5v5. Please run them for 24 hours. And a small gift of instant repairs every run would be great.

[warm kestrel]

I didn't get to play last week so can't compare to 5v5. It was fun when the match was even and had me looking for an eject button when it wasn't. Being the only lvl 49 player while facing a 55, 57 & 61 just doesn't have much entertainment value. The lobby needs redone. Should be able to enter as an independent or with team. As it is, the alliance teams should have to be reformed after each battle, similar to armadas. Although you wouldn't need to do that if you could join a battle as a single. Team chat is desperately needed. The alliance chat doesn't scale well with multiple arena teams, armadas, regular chat, alliance war activities and so on

[quaint vessel]

1. Please expand the arena event to 24 hours.
2. Could there also be a cap on the max difference in player rank from lowest to highest on the teams. Ie a 53 should never be able to be matched against a 70, even if joining a team with an ops 60 leader. Matching may take longer but the overall fairness of the individual games may be more fun.
3. Could we have a conceded button for the leader, available at the 3-5 min mark. Some of the pairings are so one sided that the wasted time is creating additional annoyance and frustration. Being able to cede the match and move on to a new pairing may ease this.

[raw glacier]

I'd much rather have to wait a minute or two for an equitable match to fight than waste 10 minutes on an instant match that's lopsided

[misty plover]

Waited about 20 mins to create a team and my team (59, 60, 62) was matched with two 70s and a 67. There was nothing fun about this, not the 20 mins I spent staring at a phone waiting for more people or seeing the match up and not being able to quit. This was me giving the feature a second chance, I have yet to win a match. This and waves has got me to reconsider how much I actually want to play this game, if I can't participate because no one is on, what's the point in even trying to keep up?

[deft wren]

3 x 3 was a good change IMHO - was much quicker than last time to get a team and actually get into the arena.
Once in there was also a LOT less frustration with trying to start an armada - 10 players starting 4 available armadas was too much last week.

If you can just drop repairs to 30 seconds or allow multiple repairs without monetising it and fix the pairings then it's a decent addition to the game.

At ops 52 I shouldn't be getting stomped by a 62 for the entire duration 😂

[plush fulcrum]

Scopely will see that as a challenge! Pretty sure they'll rise to it 😀

[golden kiln]

They will always find a way lol

[sharp hollow]

Scroll up.... look at the screenshots ... my team of 3 60's vs a team of a 68, 66, & a 64 ... somehow $copley feels ships in the 1 B range should match-up "fairly" to a team w/ ships in the 5-10 B power range (including a 10 B power cube) .
This , though the most horrendous for me for the night, was more of the norm than the exception as it relates to fairness of match-ups.
Now factor in having players with lag issues , stuck in combat or stuck in warp (much like still happens in waves and gameplay in general) . Many times it's not 3 on 3 , but 3 on 2 or 3 on 1 .
Again, even if there was some way to "reject" or "re-roll" for a different match-up ... that MIGHT help SOME.
NOW factor in the still INSANE 8 hr limit to the timer, players had no choice but to take and eat that S-sandwich and "like it".

[crystal onyx]

Super fair, all G5 players going against high level 60s and 70s. @near saddle <@&509690795536941056> you need to be passing these along, these type of matchups are insane, these were the worst of the night and by no means rare pairings

[ashen notch]

Seriously, what happened to 7 lvls of separation (not that 7 lvls is fair either)? That 68 was 8 levels above even your strongest player. That simply shouldn't happen. They need to change matchmaking to total team power being comparable instead of whatever broken ops lvl math is being used.

[molten marlin]

there was never 7 levels of separation, the +7 -7 was for starting a group, not the matchmaking lineups

[shut wharf]

I like the new arena system and so did most of my alliance mates who tried it. YES sometimes the pairing is bad, but if you learn to choose carefully who launches and who joins you can have pretty balanced series. There is still the problem of the monday but new schedule is MUCH better and allowed everyone to test it.

My only question now is th erelated event. At launch there was one event but only those available to play at weird hours had a chance. This was a one-time-only event?

[fossil rune]

A lot of issue could be solved by opening up to server wide teammates instead of alliance only and 8 hours time frame is way too short.

[shut wharf]

Alliance squadrons allows use of Titan boost. With 3 members squadrons forming and matching squads is much quicker. 8 hours is short, true, but a least it is at a decent time. And remember you can chain up as many as you want during those 8 hours for free. But some very high or some very low players in some alliances may have to change to find a better pairing...

[fossil rune]

Our top 2 players have yet been able to participate in arena

[crystal onyx]

Even a 64 more than doubles the power of our biggest player, keep G4s with G4s, G5 with G5s, G6 with G6s 🤷‍♂️ could be a great start

[fossil rune]

They should factor in your shipyard level

[shut wharf]

Have a level 49 creating the squad. Then populate with two level 56 players. You'd better the odds. @fossil rune if you have the level but not the shipyard nor th ecorresponding ship, you're at fault lol.

[ashen notch]

Honestly, even keeping grades separated isn't enough. In theblower grades its maybe a bit more doable, but not the upper. For example, in the g6 grade, the differences between players even one lvl above you can often be insurmountable. I'm a 63 and even a 64 is unstoppable in most cases because they have access to so much I'm literally locked out of until I'm 64. This is why I think it needs to be based on player power instead of ops. If they go by power, your more likely to get fair matchups even if ops lvls are different.

[crystal onyx]

It should be impossible for my team to come up against a lvl 70, 69 and 64

[shut wharf]

depends who launches mainly +/- 7 ops levels. But it seems arena ranks also tip the scale, not sure how tho. AT the end it is a game and almos all of my alliance mates encountered a way to enjoy it sometimes winning (against all odds happened also), sometimes losing but getting rewards anyhow.

[hollow lichen]

Hey scopely how about you STOP with the random events that ARE NOT on you calendar... Terran tribute only once so we thought it was safe to spend, yet you drop one again....

[vocal willow]

<@&509690795536941056> Where is the not lite version of the turn in for the Invasion Event??

[trail folio]

Liked the 5 on 5 better , had more of a chance to complete the tasks. On the 3 on 3 most teams learned to have the big of the team sit and destroy the other team as they warped in. When you only have 2 per player pretty easy to keep other team out of the arena repairing if they didn't send a lot tokens on repairs. Why can't there be both 3 on 3and 5 on 5. With the disparity of ship levels lower players will stop doing it if it is no fun.

[odd dock]

scopely FIX IT !

the full sarris invasion exchange is missing

<@&509690795536941056>

[royal fossil]

so this calendar was a lie.

i, and i'm sure several other players, looked at the calendar and saw no event. i spent my currency. surprise surprise scoplied again.

for the below comment - there is no "subject to change" in the arc calendar. please try again.

[molten marlin]

"subject to change"

[hollow lichen]

subject for making people feel bad about spending their currency based on the PROVIDED schedule... just shows that we should just NOT spend anything untilan event pops up for it

[thick locust]

sigh these away team requirements feel like a joke for trill tokens

[slow wasp]

Today's Domination Battlepass event is not registering points for ship XP.

[molten marlin]

are you spending ship xp, or trying to grind it

[slow wasp]

spending it. or rather using lat for ship xp on a ship level upgrade

it's also not registering completing research. @near saddle @full swan

[last lance]

<@&509690795536941056> - Saris Invasion Store is missing the big pull. All thats listed is the "lite" pull

[molten marlin]

waiting to hear back

Customer Service suggests restarting game. sigh.

[stone pelican]

Would be nice if the Event Leader Boards were some leveled. You have 5to10 levels competing against level 60 which has access to space and hostiles no other level has. No matter how many hostiles we kill we have no chance against a level 60. Would really love the leaderboards to be fixed.

[novel totem]

I watched DJz Stream about the Arena a week ago. I was a bit surprised that the most obvious solution was not suggested / discussed.
The following issues were identified:

• Match-making (unfair match-ups can happen)
• Team-LvL-Range (very high or low players might struggle to find a team)
• Relocation of base, recalling of miners etc.
• Time constraints due to the 8 hour window.

So the first two points could be solved entirely by a system other competitive games employ: Arena-Account templates. In the solution I suggest, every player, who gets transferred to the Arena Instance does not have his base moved, but he logs on to a normalized template account on that Arena server. The selection of ships and officers is preset and can change from week to week or month to month, research, buildings other buffs is also normalized. Basically an Ops 40 player who joins the arena has the same stuff as the Ops 70 player. That way, ONLY strategy, skill, teamwork and dedication will decide your rank. Match Making will not need to factor in any imbalances imposed by ops and spend. Therefore the pool of available players gets much larger.

Additionally since your base does not have to leave the server but merely your login gets redirected to an Instance of the template account, your base and miners on your homeworld can stay where they are.

Ideally all 3 regions would compete against each other at the same time. This will enable a large matchmaking-pool for everyone at any given time of the day. This was discussed on the show. Concerns were voiced, that cross-region play will cause more lag because of the distance of players apart. This is somewhat true, however stevensarron e.g. always plays on an EU server although he is based in NZ. To make cross-region play fair for players from both regions use gameservers hosted between those regions. Scopely uses Amazon AWS for hosting this game. They have Datacenters all around the world. If a EU matched Against APAC, use some Datacenter in e.g. India. If APAC is Matched against US use a Datacenter on the West-Cost or maybe in LATAM. If EU is matched against US use a Datacenter on US-East, EU has very good connectivity to US-East / only 60ms from Germany.

I already sent this in PM but here is also a good place to dump it.

[lone turret]

Would like to see more alliance tourney events, one of the better events alliances can participate in as an alliance for the alliances. Once every two months or whenever isn’t enough, why even bother making such an event then. Use alliance tourney, war room and arena to replace incursions, would improve the game imo.

[ripe otter]

FIX what has been BROKEN FOR MONTHS (if not years) before adding anything new! All you do is compound the issues!

[glacial pike]

Hidden agenda is broke, not getting credit, but getting items.

[vale harness]

I “fell” out of love with this game long ago. Fix the bugs and I may like it again.

[opaque hawk]

@full swan whose idea was it to do territory reset/pass 1 week before server mergers, and can you have them tested?

[opaque hawk]

while I agree, noway scopely every introduces something that negates the benefits of spending.

[novel totem]

It could have an adverse effect. A g4 player seeing g6 ships... 😄

[full swan]

Yeah... we caught that too late. We going to focus on making sure TC comes after the merges...

[tribal granite]

Oh yeah, another piece of arena feedback: try to convey the "2 ship limit" thing a little clearer somewhere; I thought it was 2 ships total, not 2 ships in the battle area, until partway through day 2.... ^^;

[open phoenix]

@full swan When is Scopley going to fix the wave. There is a constant "connection" issue. I can guarantee that this is a Scopley issue and needs to be remedied. This has been going on since day 1 for crying out loud.

[past willow]

Thank you for having the event be only rep gained from hostiles! This is awesome!

[icy marsh]

@full swan sure would be nice to know how many dust is actually in here no?

[sharp thistle]

You get 100 dust

[lucid idol]

HAHAHA mirror upgrade event rewards are a joke

[terse harbor]

Still not worked out how to implement a new event without having it stuck on 'retreiving'????? Pay out for some proper programmers. 💩💩

[proven night]

Not sure someone reported it, but did you know the Battle Pass Event end to early? For territory? Not all Takeovers are done before it’s end, so it’s not possible for us to finish the event…

[subtle reef]

was there an update on the missing sarris invasion exchange big chest? (I am blind 🤦 )

[molten marlin]

it was added back yesterday afternoon

[uncut sentinel]

I know that some events are level locked on purpose. But I really think Scopely should have set a under 20 bracket for the Symbiotic Exchange - SLB event. They are also working on earning the Event Store currency also. It would help them just as much with the the Syndicate

[deft shell]

go kill something, it's any hostiles

[warm crest]

Regional slb's should be renamed - Regional Whale SLB

[high aurora]

Solo leaderboards are not interesting to me. If you can't code SMS events to go with them, don't bother

[lethal moss]

Arena prep events are all leaderboards, once again excluding any potential chance of decent rewards for f2p or light spenders, the greed with $copely just gets more real by the day. It’s funny too how they put on slow mode after announcing all of those leaderboards

[plucky glacier]

APAC is more than just oceana so the 4PM start time doesn't apply for a lot of players in Asia. For some of us it's right at the start of our work day. I know people say this game is a 2nd job but I draw the line at skipping actual work to play it. Shift it to the weekend or extend the time to 12 hours so people in Asia can play after their work day ends.

[hybrid marsh]

If they're gonna have a spend mats event more than 1 x every 2 months they need to make a daily free chest of 1000 of every mat cause otherwise it's a pay to play only game now as refinery and what not can't provide anything to even get 1 tier a year even if you somehow get treasurary. And finish battle pass and the up those to free everything and triple mat rewards. Enough with forced pay to play only events the game is unplayable with lag and crashes try fixing that first. Otherwise the game ain't worth logging into anyway.

[lethal moss]

all they want now is pay to play, they stopped catering to the f2p people years ago

[agile perch]

@full swan Is there an eta on the event calendar? I have not yet seen one for this half of the month.

[full swan]

Think that will be coming next week.

[agile perch]

Thanks!

[deft wren]

How many Unstable Discoveries events left please? I seem to have fallen one behind despite completing every time 😕

[molten marlin]

Each event is worth 100 points, there are 20 events needed to complete the meta. There are 23 events you can do ops 10-39 and 23 events you can do 40+ So you can afford to miss 3 of them and still complete the meta.

[deft wren]

Tidy, thanks @molten marlin 👍🏻

[deft wren]

Shouldn't Species 8472 count for the Whispers of Fall event? They're not an idle grind after all.

[clear wyvern]

If you attack them while they're attacking you, you have a chance of counting as the attacker. Otherwise the explorer is not the attacker and you get no points. Same as autogrinding hostiles

[vagrant arrow]

Why the hell are all the Arena Prep events leaderboards?
We want SMS events so we can actually get some rewards.

[full portal]

When we can expect new Alliance Turnament?

[craggy elm]

Rumours say it's discussed to cancel Alliance Tournament(s)

[copper shadow]

thats easy because scopley doesnt make money from sms events unless they slap a qauntum name on it and they all about money not customer satisfaction after all they're a business

[devout pagoda]

A business should be all about customer satisfaction, otherwise the current customers leave and warn potential new ones to not come.

[molten marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/first-time-meme-first-time-the-ballad-of-buster-scruggs-gif-24656975

[dawn glacier]

Arena is a DOA feature for most and only the highest ops players can avoid the hugely unbalanced matchups. Having SLBs instead of SMS just embraces that reality. Customers have been leaving for years, just count server merges as proof.

[copper shadow]

oh agreed but if they were that type of business most of what we have experienced since the games inception would not have taken place. They're a business of making money first and customer satisfaction is far from their mind or should i say ftp satisfaction is far from their mind. I still love the game just not the way its ran have a good one

[ornate scroll]

the fatu krey event still causes massive lag problems! Please GET THAT FIXED!!!!!
Another problem with this event is that it's still really hard to actually tap on a fatu krey ships - usually it takes about 3-5 attempts... ABSOLUTELY ANNOYING!!!

[half flare]

Belated arena feedback - I definitely prefer 3v3 to 5v5, but now it’s much harder to reach 1000 points. With 60% of the ships, why not require 60% of points (600) for victory?

[gilded totem]

https://home.startrekfleetcommand.com/news/https:--startrekfleetcommand.com-news-october-infinite-incursions-pairings <@&509690795536941056> so last incursion EU401 did not get to travel and was slaughtered by OPS 50-60 ... so we do try it again ? how about equal footing ??? @rose oracle we are OPSLOCKED AT 50 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deft wren]

No, didn't work either

[exotic iris]

Also why is it over Halloween?

[full portal]

What?! Why?

[shadow trellis]

I’ve heard it got cancelled this month why they try fix it but as to other rumours until I hear officially they are just that

[molten marlin]

Not a rumor, it won't be back this month, and they told CCs not next month either

[amber pasture]

Thats pretty standard, our first was 39 v 50, then 39 v 50, then 39 v 50, then 50 v 50, then 60 v 50, despite all that we only lost the first one where we were over powered, just takes one lazy whale to throw it

[gilded totem]

Besides using the swartz ... it still does not make sence ..

[amber pasture]

I agree, been there got the T-shirt, but its how it is, we ops 60 and got an ops 70 (server we had 3 times before too...) you got 105, they dont do a lot of prep so you prob do okay, they one of the ones we beat as 39 v 50 (they 50)

[sand willow]

hey Scop can u pls fix the apex event store everytime in the last couple months we have that event the unc gas rss has a couple hrs b4 can exchange and it shouldnt

[keen egret]

There's a 6 day 22 hour cool down on that store. Always has been. You need to finish as early as possible every week so you can avoid waiting.

[obsidian remnant]

Positive feedback for a change...the Long Con event has been great! Love having a grinders event like this! One of these each month would be awesome

[full swan]

Nice! Happy to hear it~!

[turbid hamlet]

Why is a "Regional" SLB.. one that involves far more people than a regular Server SLB.. awarding what equals 10 Epic shards in Event store currency.. when it requires a much higher Mat spend threshold due to the sheer amount of more people involved..

[potent umbra]

So treasury worthless

[astral tiger]

Events feedback: Scopely on our server we have 1 (one) player with level 60 ship with 2 BILLION power. He's killing every other player, because we have 2M-10M ships. He's shutting down SIX SYSTEMS worth of Eclipse Armada alone and nobody can play.

Is allowing a 2 BILLION ship to kill Saladins the Scopely concept of "Fair PvP"?

[molten marlin]

Who said anything about fair pvp? certainly not scopely

[patent river]

insanity is thinking your smaller ship can even scratch a 2 bil one. If your not avoiding or crewing to avoid (impulse) your doing it wrong

[fast shoal]

Get your whole alliance to realta swarm him so you can run your Mudd

[frank wing]

Interceptor hostile event broken? My D3 ain't getting any points

[safe cloud]

Worst treasury loot ever! 💩

[light canyon]

Why is this so unattainable? You don’t get enough chimera armada directives and you just can score enough by killing the hostiles . This is just another pay to win event

[lost swan]

You realise it’s an event shared with the whole server right?

[shadow trellis]

Yes but as more get the Nsea i wonder how much participation happens

[lost swan]

DeMarco seems a pretty nice officer to unlock, not to mention all the syndicate xp

[orchid token]

The syndicate Xp is missing a 0 on the right spot to make players move ships out of the dock.
Given the recent Xp inflation this is another bad scaled forsaken event that will never get adjustments and look the same in 1 year time and nobody will take care of it.
Also 2 shards aren’t too motivating (unless you are 2 or 4 short unlocking). It’s just another garbage and scam event by scopely eventually (after unlocking demarco and nsea what might be the only reason to run it)

[lost swan]

It's about 3 hostiles to get one daily pull, and a couple of armadas after that on the last day. Between all the sms events, slbs, ims, rslb, it is a decent chunk of XP for very little effort, and definitely more than 2 shards in event loot

[outer verge]

really 3x only 50 directives for chimera? the coincidence to draw enougth directived combined with regoinal slb and 2 slb is a bad joke... the luckiest player or the player with the credit card wins...

[orchid token]

As said the whole “event” is a big joke. Was pitched as a big new feature “server wide collaboration and strategic event”. Total nonsense. Few hostiles and 3 armadas for a monthly event.
Superstructure bosses many mmo have but have it properly implemented. This feature is not even close, even worse than waves 😅

[fluid gust]

only if you can punch up a grade.
if you're too far away from the next grade, you can end up grinding down 2 hulls just to barely scrape together enough for 1 exchange.

[outer verge]

the eventshop xchange is good but you can only xchange 1time/day...

[quaint parrot]

this happens because there is only one SLB and SMS event in three days for players 40-.

I don't waste my time to hit hostiles only to get 8 or 13 points in IMS event and like me many players can avoid to hit them if event store currency grows without limits

[ripe sierra]

Monaveen isn’t counting for Battleship event

[molten marlin]

auto farming doesn't work

[ripe sierra]

That’s what I assumed, but actively grinding Texas w Monaveen isn’t counting either

[round needle]

Just finished th unstable discoveries meta sms. I received the 10 officer shards but not the 36k trill emblems

Anybody else having the same issues?

[fast shoal]

It's a bug for some reason it's counting as an explorer for ship type events. My explorer one completed even though it was the only ship I had out

[astral talon]

The Monaveen isn’t counting as an explorer. What’s happening is that the attack is being initiated by an explorer. I’m not sure it’s a bug so much as less-than-robust code. Something like “If attacker = battleship, true. If attacker != battleship, false.” Since Monaveen is being attacked, it’s not initiating it.

[fast shoal]

Just for the Monaveen seems like horrible coding. All of my other ships score correctly.

[ripe sierra]

Except that you can actively grind with the Monaveen and that’s not counting either

[molten marlin]

Worked fine for me

[dense hollow]

Just seen the incursions blog and it doesnt show 112 as paired yet shows 115 which is merging with us so their server as gone. @full swan

[short pier]

A complaint with these big regional SLBs: You can't see who you're competing with or what scores you're competing with because you can't scroll far enough down. Please do something about this. You're writing checks your tech can't cash.

Unless of course the intention is for players to waste resources gambling that they will get high enough to get a reward, in which case carry on...

[proven sparrow]

Mine completed when I did my daily Mantis run killing Actian before i even looked at the event

[oblique ridge]

Maybe 112 isn’t listed because it’s yours that’s going 😉

[keen egret]

Or they'll fight each other, after the merge. So they both lose.

[verbal surge]

You know what the answer is to this one

[short pier]

lol did you really just give us a regional SLB in place of any actual spend event worth doing? What a joke.

[crisp patio]

And no slb for anyone sub 40 at all
Not that a regionwide slb is anything but a trick anyway

[astral talon]

Well, I saw the comment immediately after saying even the Monaveen wasn’t counting when actively grinding, so it could be a bug after all! Still, for the “attack ship-type” events, auto-grinding always uses the attacker’s type for the points, not the player’s ship being attacked. Useful knowledge for future events

[true hare]

Why is there no Quantum vanguard SLB yet? The symbiosis thing says there is supposed to be one today

[turbid hamlet]

An Lo. There was much rejoicing. For an Officer Auction had been posted.. One that involved the many different servers, driving up its cost to who knows what and for rewards not reflective of said cost. And the people cheered for this is what they wanted most.

[vagrant topaz]

Wel done having so many back to back armada events. Of course we'll all go rushing to the store to replenish when the next one arrives.

[runic meadow]

Maybe you are merging with them, you might have to ask all nice for some territory, will be like trying to get the duvet from my missus😂😂😂

[zealous ridge]

Surprised there is no spend SLB for 37 bracket this weekend - usually always one at the weekend

[jaunty ingot]

Most time their ops going up for end of an arc ready for the new one, and do the spend on the this weekend. I guess the "get to 40 asap" wasnt really thought about.

[high aurora]

<@&509690795536941056> I think you forgot something...like...the rewards

[hearty forge]

and lvl Brackets, Ops 49 mixed in with Ops 67 players

[terse harbor]

@high aurora Just the latest in proving the incompetence that is Scopely.

[scarlet summit]

45 with 69 😦

[sick token]

Yup not scoring at all

[olive spear]

Arti hunt for all level 🤮 What a joke. Woudnt be too bad if rewards scaled for top 500

[neon terrace]

SLB for ops38-70 in 1 Bracket, but only 50 players rewarded. Also no SMS for it again. Absolutely no point to even try on it.

[olive spear]

Also all artifacts should score. Symbiosis could just score more if it needs to be focused on them.

[trail solar]

Just to double check this. This just is for the daily box that you collect in the syndicate screen right? So pretty lackluster?

[molten marlin]

yes

[zenith carbon]

the reason many of us ignore SLBs

[shadow trellis]

Pretty much ignore all

[ember goblet]

I just came on here to complain about the Quantum Artifact SLB level range - I see I'm not the only one. I've been saving up and it looks like it will be for nothing.

[inland goblet]

Quantum: Temporal Artifact Hunt - SLB
Last month brackets: 50-54, 55-60
This month brackets: 50-70 38-70

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!
.

[molten marlin]

38-70

[craggy elm]

luckily no regional SLB yet....

[turbid hamlet]

I love how despite being lumped in with all the heavy spenders for this SLB, the Rewards arent increased to reflect the insane nature of the competition groupings.

[deft wren]

Love the deliberately misleading text too. Lots of people are going to think that any artifacts score

[dark jewel]

<@&509690795536941056> can you explain why the slb is from 40-70? Why not normal brackets?

[dark jewel]

I always hope they respect the players.

[misty jay]

@full swan always new ways to disappoint us, apparently... 😑
Of course I'm refering to that artefact event like almost everyone else here.
Please address the issue. This is not normal.

[gusty robin]

Is it just me or does Helloween feel like a bad night to run Incursion?

[fluid gust]

sounds perfectly fine to me.
you go from station to station, collecting "candy", "dressed" in scary ships.

[zenith carbon]

Do you mean with the Quantum Temporal Artifact Hunt where you score by "Restoring Temporal Artifacts, Upgrading Temporal Artifacts, and Spending Temporal Disruptors"?

[iron pivot]

1st match.. now three week in. You have done nothing to address the issues raised by players

[icy marsh]

The amount of interest in arena in my alliance has completely plummeted. Just started and hardly anyone wants to join and play anymore vs the previous times.

[iron pivot]

105 ppl in my alliance.. 3 teams

[trail abyss]

so much for fair match making. 😡

[outer verge]

if there is planed an upgrade for weekly swarm event? it dont trigger to do it... there to much to do and to less to get... and please couple it with ops lv

[tight marlin]

Totally even 🤦‍♂️

[tepid nymph]

@near saddle see u guys did nothing to fix match making

[fluid lotus]

ship stuck in warp for 2 minutes during arena is fun stuff

[shadow flare]

The matchmaking sure has improved for arena!! What's better than being matched up against a squad that completely squashes you? Being matched up with them twice in a row!!! Winner

[remote badge]

I think it's a rough time too... constant interruptions from trick or treaters!

[cold grotto]

Arena is still a joke, alliance boycotting as absolute farce. How’s a 279,000,000 supposed to fight against a 1.1Bil strength player? Matching are a joke.

[rustic girder]

Because the format is not pvp... it's killing hostiles

[cold grotto]

Except you don’t get to kill hostiles genius as not given chance to by big players, get annihilated before can even touch a hostile due to usual joke of matching levels.

[rustic girder]

Would love to see pvp be about taking loot from other players zone... like capture the flag... and only obtainable with a miner lmao. But currently killing hostiles to do an armada is not pvp at all... often there is one whale in the tournament group that camps the entry of the other team while others kill hostiles...

[icy marsh]

Thhats better than my 250m vs a 4.5b g5

[potent charm]

Yeah arena matchmaking is a joke hate losing all the time and nobody likes losing all the time so boycotting arenas eventually everyone will get sick of always losing and only the bigger players will be doing it and finally scopely will have got matchmaking fair without doing anything

[icy marsh]

My suggestion, change the ops banding to be based on ship tiers (i.e. G5 rares) and players should only be able to bring in ships that don't exceed that tier. Will stop this stupid case of people bringing g6 rares and massacring us with g5 unc

[rustic girder]

Tbh a level 40 should bot pair with 49s.

Each 2 to 3 level range should be its own bracket

[green ibex]

I hope arena is now 24 hours , cause off to work and if not I can’t play for the 3th time in a row 😂😎

[olive depot]

Arena is a joke - only for 8hrs period and starts at lunchtime til 9pm, so considering I’m working, traveling home, making dinner for most of that time, I now have 30mins for any combat yet most of my alliance are 2-4hrs time zone ahead and already gone offline for the night - it simply doesn’t work

[rustic girder]

Arena should bot be alliances based... but rather instanced

[proven sparrow]

It's been 2 weeks, Why are we still seeing screenshots of so-called "balanced" matchmaking like this?
It's not hard... To make it "balanced" you match the Leader ops with the same level ops of the opposing leader

[agile zinc]

I think chimps could code better matchmaking 🤣

[rustic girder]

Because the level spreads are too vast

[long cedar]

Hi, sorry but where is the Borg event? Where is the epic recruitment XSLB event???

[molten marlin]

no borg event, and the the spend event is a RLB for 40+

[rustic girder]

Be great to just have all events turned on for like a week.... a week of Chaos and Mayhem

[covert oriole]

I leave this arena (garbage) to you 😉🤣

[broken crystal]

here we go again.. first match: 450m score against 800m

[rustic girder]

See that's fair

[ocean crypt]

how are you supposed to compete againsts ops 7 times higher than yourself, what joke of fairplay and balance is this farce

[rustic girder]

This is why I don't do arena.... i took a ship with 25 mil health and got literally 1 spotted by a 12 million health ship...

[broken crystal]

next opponent: 450m against 1b.... i am wondering, shouldnt every now and then there be someone weaker than us?

[modest sapphire]

<@&509691205798592532> the matchmakings a joke

[rustic girder]

This is why PVP in its current state is a joke

[long cedar]

Ok Thanks but I'm not talking about the spending event but the big xslb between some servers to have an Epic recruitment ^^

[thorn belfry]

+8 off the host?

[molten marlin]

I know, 39 and lower don't get an event, everyone else gets the RLB

[hearty stag]

It’s so buggy

[exotic iris]

https://i.imgur.com/pNZhYJ5.png
into +11

[thorn belfry]

urm

[surreal monolith]

It’s not though; each team is +/-7 from its own host, that band has no direct bearing on your opponents.

[thorn belfry]

that would mean that 40s could match 60s and that isnt happening

[surreal monolith]

They can and sadly in some cases I think they have.

The point I’m making is that +/-7 only applies to the host’s team. It doesn’t extend into the opponent’s team. The opponent’s team is plucked based on best match for average ops and rank, although best is a term I shall use loosely

[mild moth]

Matchmaking quality by scopeless. Is there anyone, who test this BS?

And the next match against the same team. Scopeless 🤮

[gilded totem]

"loosely" or not, you gotta have luck of the irish that your opponets WHOLE TEAM (+2 ops lvls higher or more) is clueless about the game what i think is kinda a stretch on 40+ ops players to start off with ... then being steamrolled by meta crews that have NO counter .. is adding insults to injury

@rose oracle geez would it be an idea to lvl the playing field by some mechanic ???

[mild moth]

I'll just ignore the new rubbish from scopely now. I hope they had to pay a lot of money for it. Most ignore it from my alliance. They don't sell packs with it. Rightly so! First they ruin PVP with countless primes, then they try to make money with a weekly event which is extremely poorly done. Pathetic company.

[surreal monolith]

Eh, I’ve seen some big gaps crossed with good play vs weaker play but I do concede that this is the exception rather than the norm.

The crews… well, probably best I don’t start on those. Day one of OG Strike Team I was wafflestomping Korinars with an Augur and I was asked if I thought they were “too OP”; my response was along the lines of “what do you think?”

It did not improve from there 🙂

[late siren]

Scopely have learnt nothing about Arenas. They are still running on the worst possible day and at the worst possible time. People are at work!!! @near saddle @full swan here is more feedback that can be ignored

[gilded totem]

seems fair 😛

[gilded totem]

funn right ..

[broken crystal]

what's the algorithm? give low-spenders to high-spenders as cannon fodder? otherwise can't explain it.
with the new matchmaking that's I think match 17 for me. 1 one of them was a fair fight. all others were way over our head

[last lance]

The matching making, while not always precieved as "fair"....I will say has been better than I thought. Even after last week's rough start for me, I went through several matches where they had an ops 59 or 60, with our largest being a 56....and we won. Some more refinement...sure. But I also noticed, all but HappVamp, are only posting the lop-sided ones not in your favor. It goes the other way too, where you will be the bigger group.

[gilded totem]

we could look at the broader perspective and notice a "trend" .. the ones that bother to "complain" might be just the tip of the iceberg above sealevel ...

sure a win / loss is nice when its evenly matched

BUT THAT IS NOT THE complaint --> what is the complaint ? thx for asking .. your losing 15-20 min of "playtime because your side or opponent kinda grudenly needs to take the win / loss

[zenith carbon]

And even though it's been 2 weeks, ppl still don't get that the leader ops has nothing to do with the match apart from being 1 of 3 players
Forget about who the "leader" is, basically 3 players give average ops and average rank and get matched against another available team in the bucket at the time

[brisk tapir]

Go back to 5v5, this 3v3 is just Tantalus Field wins...

[proven sparrow]

So whats your excuse for this?
my point is it SHOULD be the leader ops

[zenith carbon]

it's exactly what I just said 🤷‍♂️
you think it should be leader ops why? to make it easier to game the system?

[sharp hollow]

Same excuse they had for this .... NONE because they don't care

[last lance]

Just level up to Ops 60 and build a Rotarran before the match starts....whale harder! Your mini whailing right now

[late siren]

Then there will be endless waiting and that doesn’t guarantee a balance match up. The process they are using will take several events to improve as there is still not enough data to make rankings worthwhile. Plus the time of the day it is run means it’s hit & miss who is able to participate. Scopely need to look at the player feedback, participation rates and any metrics they can obtain from previous events and then go back to the drawing board before running it again. Of course they won’t as they like flogging the ‘flogging a dead horse’ approach until they quietly bin it and move on to the next big thing and repeat the same mistakes. Plus you will never have a balanced match up in this game because from day 1 PvP has been flawed. It will always be the biggest wins. Whether that is ship, Ops Lvl, Research, For Tech etc

[proven sparrow]

good let there be long waiting the arena cue does state you can leave the page and do something else while waiting. after 5 minutes in a queue sure branch out the search paramiters to higher or lower ops levels 1 ops level at a time till a match is found

@last lance That's not my screenshot, I'm linking others amazing balance examples I'm ops 42 fighting 53s with 140m power ships
People say ranking is a matchmaking factor you can see Silver 4 going against Gold 2's so clearly not a factor.
others say total power is a factor, Clearly not either

[sharp hollow]

The argument they will put up for going back to 5 vs 5 is that ppl won't find matchups ... 3 vs 3 would be fine IF and only IF $copley would actually fix their game so players wouldn't be "stuck" in warp or otherwise lagged ... it turns that 3 vs 3 to more of a 3 on 2 or 3 on 1 situation. They don't care about mismatch and will argue having a "reject button" for an obviously overmatched team will again make it so people will continue to "pass" until they find a match up where they are the dominating power. (While SOME would do such a thing, I think there are FAR more who would participate if the matchups were better balanced)

[brisk tapir]

I had non-stop action the first Arena, won, lost, very balanced. They screwed it up after that. 5v5 worked just fine.

[proven sparrow]

Game the system, what? 🤣
It should be the Ops level simply to make matchmaking fair and simple.
I'm Ops 42 and yes I could be a douch and load my 2 members up with 49, 49 but it's still fair because my opponent could do exactly the same.
However, since it is an alliance-based arena. No one is going to do that because they are just going to alienate and leave everyone else in their alliance 40-48 out and have no groups to play with.
What would the point of being in an alliance with people like that be
People who play the system right hold until they have enough resources to power level ops to top bracket anyway 39, 42, 45, 49, 54, 60 anyone in between them ops levels are playing it wrong

[full nova]

Care to explain?

[fluid igloo]

why does the hostile limit count in arena 😭

[polar plank]

@full swan not one to complain a lot but this is noteworthy 😜 🍻

[true thistle]

Had better 2 ops 42 one 53 vs 67 64 69 last time 😂

[surreal monolith]

Yeah but did you win?

[gilded totem]

sure win right ?

[polar plank]

well match making is very broken thats for sure at the point where neither ops nor rank match(i feel sorry for your experience)

[shadow trellis]

Not the first all ops41’s I’ve seen today

[true thistle]

Ok made a mistake 42 46 and me and answer is no 😂 could barely do a few unc armada but i think u know the answer already 😝

[inland goblet]

<@&509690795536941056>
In what freaking universe is this called a fair matchmaking?

[molten marlin]

the event for spending is over, the store is still open

[vagrant topaz]

Arena Event
please scopely, use common sense, change the match making from +/- 7 to +/- 5 or at least 6. I open an arena group as 41 and encounter a group with 51 in it. There's no joy at this event because there can only be one 48 in my group.
Only informally, you can't get my money out of my wallet that way

[scarlet summit]

gj balancing that, 1,5b and 1,6b power ships

[late siren]

The +/- only affects the make up of your team it doesn’t affect who you get matched up with. The matchmaking uses a process Scopely haven’t made public

[high aurora]

<@&509690795536941056> I'm going to wager that the matchmaking system prioritizes queue wait time too heavily. It seems that the system is more concerned about matching people quickly, rather tha matching people fairly. Let people sit in the queuen longer so the system has a better chacne to match them "fairly"

[vagrant topaz]

That may be true, but as it is it's more frustrating than fun and certainly no fun. And if you don't have fun, you don't spend any money.

[late siren]

I agree. Not that Scopely seem to understand this

[umbral moon]

Incursions are this week. 2-4 days away. But we still don't know WHAT DAY we are having our incursion yet. When are we going get some actual information so our server can prep?

[exotic iris]

You’ll get the info next week 😉

[brisk tapir]

Another one where our total power was more or less what their smallest had...

[toxic veldt]

Probably because your Host might be Platinum 1 on the server... I think Rank might play a big role here

[celest iron]

happy to see that im not the only one who thinks that the matchmaking is worse then all before combined ..

[main prairie]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 ahh little man complaining 🤣🤣 better read what vso said about complaining

[exotic iris]

rank playing a part more than ops but he’s same rank as us.

[ashen notch]

Personally, I'm not even bothering with arena. The matchmaking is a joke. Basing pvp on ops lvl is completely wrong, and even reducing the lvl pairing span isnt going to help. This is because after Ops 50 (most noticably, but it also happens before 50) every lvl you go up often gives you a significant advantage over the previous lvl. I'm a 63, and I find it near impossible to beat 64s. This is because they have access to more ops locked research than I do. It gives them an edge I simply cannot compete with (unless I'm luckily paired with a brand new 64 who hasn't done the research).

It's clear matchmaking is broken. I'm seeing so many people paired up against ops 10+ lvls above them. There's no way that's fair. Scopely needs to fix matchmaking (maybe based on power instead of ops lvl), but more importantly needs to fix pvp. This game has no true pvp, no strategy (unless players are same ops/power lvl), most of the time it's just the bigger fish eats the smaller fish, and that's simply not fun.

[dark horizon]

Keep in mind, you can only be disappointed by arena matching if you participate in it...

[ionic mica]

its not possible for a Sub 56 player to match 5 * rare ships, thats bad matching but to get the same team 2 areas in a row is taking the micheal

[fair tiger]

EU Arena lag is a bit much this week - a shame as last week's arena seemed to run smoothly proving it can work

[rough ravine]

Shouldn't there be a fresh TC Trailblazer SMS started today? Previous one ended. I don't remember there being a gap in between. Not showing a new territory capture SMS.

[jolly musk]

Matching in arenas is like putting guy with a stick against country with 1000 nukes 🤬🤬🤬

[uneven jolt]

My ships get stuck in Battle and Warp, when i play in Arena

[obtuse badger]

Another week, another Arena event with match making that is bs is an understatement. My advice just ignore the feature untill ( im laughing while typing this ) they get it right.

[proven sparrow]

Even when fighting brain dead people you still lose because of the power imbalance

[carmine cargo]

Come on Scopely, get your Arena match ups sorted.
How is this fair or even realisic for pvp combat?

this is even worse!

[brisk tapir]

As if I need to repeat. Week 1, 5v5, I ran dozens, upon dozens of Arena battles. Was top of the server at Ops 49. Time, effort, support from my alliance all got me there.
Cut to a week later, 3v3 and facing 600m powered ships, our full team not even matching their lowest in power.
This week, a bit better, but insane lag. Like our alliance, a PVP alliance, just stopped. I did 4 today? Won 1, lost 3.
Scopely, you seemingly had a great product day 1. I lost more than I won I'm sure, but I was winning... it rewarded the grind.

Go back to 5v5, and send your devs back to kindergarten. Someone clearly can't count past their baby toe.

[hollow lichen]

Imbalance in the match making combined with EU lagging like a lunatic, great job

[oblique basin]

Arena: Make leaving quicker. People may have to dash for RL/work issues, and a 30 second countdown is just annoying and I can't see what purpose it serves.

[uneven jolt]

This is not a Bad matching of team, Need some positive feedback also

[craggy elm]

But this is bad matchmaking

70, 64, 59 vs 60, 58, 53

[oblique basin]

G6 players in with G5 players is just a joke. It's too big a gap between G5 and G6.

[broken crystal]

my current arena matchups are acceptable! for some reason

[uneven jolt]

Also a new good matching

[mild moth]

Scopely is simply incompetent, greedy and pathetic. 2 times the same group as opponents in a row. 63 against 70 ships. How can you programme such bad crap.

[frozen scarab]

this one is not as good

[ruby ivy]

Why are OPs 50's getting matched with OPs 62? This is just not right.

[uneven jolt]

Also a nice match, close call we got off 2 group at the end

[flat coral]

Why would you end the event when people haven't been able to even get through the captures for the week? Tomorrow is no territory, not today. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[pseudo coral]

Need 2 options for arena. 1. Group with alliance or 2. Group with randoms. Waiting for someone of your level in an alliance is a pain, for obvious real world situations and play times. I may have a spare 10 mins and just want to match, not sit waiting for 2 members to come online.

[oblique basin]

Another thing, why run Arenas on a Monday whilst you have the Lat Rush even on? Given that all ships are auto recalled for the Arena, the two events are mutually exclusive.

[lost phoenix]

Really? Matching my ops 47 to a ops 62 in the arena??? Our opponent averaged 10 higher than my team

[ocean crypt]

so much for scopely's statement of balanced and fairplay, they never even touched balanced never mind the concept of fairplay, throw words around as if they meant something, totally insane and only gullible peeps are daft enough to play into it

[broken crystal]

after a horrible start today I had several good matchups, now it got worse again. 400 m score against 1 b score.
please feel free to matchmake longer than 2 seconds, if the matchup is fair instead

[lethal mango]

cool

[devout pagoda]

Yup, fair ...

[fluid gust]

stacking 2 grind heavy events and a holiday event on top of incursions?
you need a better event planner...

[versed bloom]

tbh you devs can go and ... Yourself with such matchmaking

[modest sapphire]

Its a deep shame scopely doesnt understand how pvp competitive matchmaking works i think they are adding too many variables and overcomplicating things
The simplest way to do it is matchmake the teams overall powers and limit the starters ops levels to be within 7 ops of each other just like when joining a squad or event better have both starters within 3 of lvls of eachother doing this would be the simplest and fairest form of matchmaking,
Can you please pass this on to the numptys above <@&509691205798592532>

[oak ore]

having a blast with arena's. wish they lasted longer or you needed less trophies for a week's worth a pulls. matchmaking has been pretty good on my end. group was 42,43 and a 48. worst pairing was a 53 and some mid 40s in a set but we won soooo😜

[upbeat harbor]

ok so i wanna preface this by saying i love the arena... but wtaf.... don't tell me this is due to our rankings because no matter how many matches we play that improve our ranking our ships will NEVER be able to do anything against theirs. theirs are stronger and more importantly faster. that eliminates every strategy. matchmaking needs to be pure ops based

[brave wigeon]

Arenas are garbage. Trash matchmaking system

[tidal rock]

I saw MANY people suggest they move Arenas to not be on Mondays because of Latinum Rush. Seems scopely decided everyone was just wrong 🤷‍♂️

[true depot]

the worst part of matchmaking is ascended vs non ascended servers............there is just no way

[ashen notch]

Nothing about arenas, other than adjusting start time, indicates they're listening to the players.

[vast barn]

Been an hour and still stuck in Arenas. Tried opening case but their system is stupid and it won't let me send a message or talk to anyone.

[crystal onyx]

What stupid matchmaking

[bitter field]

Yet another week of poor matching 3 mid 50 players against 3 sigma players - One way to kill an event is make it unfair - having reward potential vanish because matching is 95% of the time unfair means I am better off not playing than continuing to loos to sigma teams

[golden kiln]

Terrible matches. How does a 57, and 2 60’s go against 2 70’s and a 64

Like is there anyone at Scopely with half a brain cell?

[scenic flint]

The Arena is much better but I still want to start a match even if I'm short on members. I don't care if I lose, I just want enough loot for single pulls all week

[runic meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/fight-harder-demand-angry-upset-encourage-gif-13947172

[cosmic slate]

Once again, the arena sucks. Not even close to an evenly matched fight. 3 matches in a row

[pale vector]

14 Levels Difference...to the lowest ship. Lowest player almost double the power of our whole team. 0% chance

[deft rain]

Once again, arena parings are total garbage when a team with a high player of lvl46 and a 50m power ship gets pairing with a team with a lvl54 with a 220m power ship there is literally no point of even respawning, fix this balance issue or the arena feature will be totally dead, hard enough to form teams now as half the players have already washed their hands of it...

[scenic flint]

I thought rankings where a part of the match making? Guess not

[cosmic slate]

Avg ops 55 vs avg 61. Billion power ships vs. 150-200 million power. Really Scopely?

[pale vector]

#💬-events-feedback message

[patent star]

Scopely - you have the makings of a potentially fun game mechanic. However, if you can't get matchmaking figured out, people aren't going to want to play.

[scenic flint]

So much this.

This match may seem close on paper, but we can't touch that ops 50 player with anything. We lost like 8 ships (team total) in less than 3 minutes to him.

[vast barn]

Only the spenders will

[austere vigil]

Fix arena. I got the warp bug

[vast barn]

Restart?

[austere vigil]

Didn’t work. But it is pretty pathetic for scopely that we normalize things like clearing cache/rebooting as an accepted workaround instead of actually fixing the problems.

[short pier]

What fun and engaging gameplay.
This is gonna be bigger than CSGO, I can feel it

[vast barn]

Agree. If the game worked we wouldn't have to do all these tricks several times a day.

My station has been stuck in Arenas for hours now so i can't even play the game.

[raw glacier]

The terrible matchmaking is causing people in my alliance to not participate

[muted summit]

Why participate Scopley when your matching players against other players with over 4 times the power... Match by power not ops lvl

[austere vigil]

Write the algorithm on ship power inventory and crew power, etc. Hire the folks that coded Whiteout Survival, their matchmaking is spot on and takes 8 different factors into account.

[patent star]

Part of the problem is the P2W mechanics that Scopely relies upon. The primes and FT can make players nearly untouchable and I realize that's what the goal is - to make an arms race that you pay to win. But if this continues, it makes it unfun to play.

[vagrant topaz]

Definitely that. Ops 47 with tier 6 pilum going against ops 42-44 with all of them having lvl 40+ unc g4 ships plus arena favors to give them an edge. One would think pilum could put even a dent in ktinga but not really. F2p so not spending money to gain more power

[sturdy moon]

Yeah, first try on arena today since I had time... Team ranging between ops 47-51, no g5 faction ship possibility...

Scopely Matchmaking: here's an ops 55 team with multiple g5 ships!

I know Scopely can't code worth 💩, but c'mon... This shouldn't be that difficult. Yet another massive failure in the ever growing Scopely Fail column 🤦‍♂️

[patent star]

What might be interesting is an option to play the arena without FT and without primes. You could opt in and it would only match you in purity mode. It won't fix the matching issues entirely but it would help to balance things a little better between teams.

[tame terrace]

We had two decent matches and two awful matches. Tbh, I am not sure how you fix it. My one thought is, as arenas progress, take the three arena scores of the players and divide by 3 and try to match the average arena score within say a 100-150 points. Is it a perfect method? No, particularly early on but I think in the long run it would work as a good way of matching 🤷🏻‍♀️ Our one match, the average arena score for the other team was abt 1308 or something like that and our average arena score was abt 348. Not a good match up. Ops wise we were similar ops, power wise they were a lot more powerful.

[robust bobcat]

Well Once again. the Arena Event is Still Jacked Up.
#1 The Lag is BAD....!!!!!!!!!
#2 The Matching... Puting Player in that has 3b (Ops 64) Powered Ships against 400m (ops 56)....

There Should be a Withdraw Option during the Count down Just for these Events. There is 0.000000000% Chance to Win when the Scale is that One Sided

[limpid galleon]

okay saw many weird matchmakings here, but this is actually doable. with some strong 46 ships you can definitely beat anything that comes with ops 50 :o
i'm ops 50 and i am still using my pilum to wreck a lot of the 53s ships :D and without any bought primes or FT ^^

[scenic flint]

While that may be true in abstract, it wasn't the case this time. I have an 80 million T9 Korinar and wasn't able to do much more than scratch his ships.

[wraith zephyr]

Hey how is this even remotely fair? I can’t get G5 ships and my opponent had a 10.2b cube. How is someone FOURTEEN ops levels ahead of me allowed to be on an opposing team?

[lunar heath]

Scopely overlords: so the arena is a nice idea theoretically. But it has a big flaw in practice. Once there is a 3 to 4 level differential in the strongest player of each arena team, it is very boring: the big one kills everyone else and they just win by having the big player park next the arrival zone of the other team. Need narrower ranges of levels; average level matching is not going to help. Max level of strongest player in squad needs to be matched within 1-2 levels at most.

[gentle sun]

The whole arena matchmaking is complete crap. Another week with no matches available.
Putting it on Monday was a bad decision.
No exaggeration, most of my alliance doesn't want to take part because of
1: the perceived imbalance (which I think is more than just perceived)
2: they don't want to lose Mining Monday progress.
Only a couple of people running squads and none in my range (66)

[lunar heath]

Separately, high level players have much more impulse. Again they cruise around kill lower level other team players without them even being able to kill 1 hostile. So one big player means the other team is dead. Make impulse speed fixed for all players in arena.

[fathom walrus]

After 6 months of arenas I'm sure the match making will shake out correctly.

[wraith zephyr]

Oh weird it happened again

[deft rain]

the truth is that even single level differences can be unbalanced, a lvl 53 with a ug5 ship will blow smokeholes in a 52 with even a nicely tiered g4 epic, the ug5 comes in at literally 4 times the power.....

[grave compass]

The matching is definitely not right. Weighing it according to ranking doesn’t do anything. 3v3 is awful. Three 70s vs Three 60s is crazy. Size needs to be taken into more of an account. And the loss of points when you lose is ridiculous. No one wants to do these anymore

[limpid galleon]

then he must have had good research and stuff, too, or he's a payer and had primes. but then in this case the reason is not matchmaking. i would say the differences in all g4 is not that big to make it massively unfair. the jump from g4 to g5, especially to the 56s ships is massive though.

[deft rain]

the tiers need to be based on these generational ship tiers, not arbitrary level with a zero calculus, they are literally pairing you with the first open team, coding by 1,000 chimpanzees and Commodore 64s. Once again, do you guys even actually play this game? Bro, do you even lift? I am guessing that the devs all have level 70 accounts, so when they playtest everyone has the same power......only way the matchmaking makes sense is if you are REAL bad at math.....

[fathom walrus]

I bet theres a Vegas betting pool...that would explain the match ups.

[rose wharf]

Really??? GT$OH

[dark horizon]

Oh man, somehow I have never been matched up with ops way above my level.

[fluid robin]

Time for 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 options. Im on one of the oldest servers, and we're having hard time getting 3 level appropriate people together consistently for these. Other alliances having the same issue.

[ebon crystal]

Why is there a 69 in my pairing? Seriously this is ridiculous

[true ledge]

Its already to the point of not being fun. Since they introduced carol Freeman it's been one ridiculous OP officer or research after another. You could argue strike team did it first but i dont have much memory of that.
You want to PVP? Pay. Otherwise you're just clicking a button to explode and make some whale feel better

[livid topaz]

why aren't the ships in the arena moving....

[silent zinc]

Hey Scopely,

You guys really, really suck at coding. My teammates and I have now been stuck in arena purgatory for over 20 minutes. It won't start, and we can't leave. Thanks for the terrific experience.

[proven sparrow]

thing is even when arena ends you get to finish your game so the question is are you going to leave the area or have to start new accounts

[dusky mortar]

stuck, match wont load 30 minutes now

[obsidian ore]

The last alliance tournament started on September 24th and since then no official word has been said about them (aside from the announcement of a compensation for mid-tournament changes). This includes today's announcement, which included mention of there being no Mega Cubes event this month but no mention of alliance tournaments, either holding them or not. Alliance tournaments are the main gameplay method of getting several rare items in the game, though, including:

• Transwarp refit for Borg Cube
• Glas refit for Feesha
• Armored refit for Voyager
• Columbia NX-02 refit for NX-01
• Binary Cutter refit for Borg Cube
• Assimilated refit for Amalgam
• Assimilated refit for Stella
• Astrometric Sensor refit for Voyager
• Mk II refit for Monaveen
  Yes, some of those can be obtained from the type of every-four-months event that just concluded, but at such a high cost that they can't be obtained in one such event and only at the cost of other items with no alternative. Alliance tournaments are also the only way to get the following refinery upgrades:
• Borg Cube exchange: +1 roll
• Borg Solo Armada exchange: +1 roll
• Dominion Solo Armada exchange: +1 roll
• Xindi Armada exchange: +1 roll
• Tier-Up Catalyst, Emblem of Assessment, and Fusion Rod exchanges: +1 roll
• Isomatter SNW officer exchange: +1 roll
• Exborg Xindi Scrap and Bounty exchanges: +1 roll
  The method for unlocking many of these rewards requires advancing through over a dozen tournament events even with good placements, meaning that some of these are only reachable after three years or more if alliance tournaments are held every other month or less frequently. Meanwhile, three years of advancement would put any well-placing player way past these rewards being relevant. As such, tournaments should be held monthly, or unlocking requirements reduced.

[tranquil heart]

explain this...

[long bluff]

Scopely, the matching on the arena still sucks..... there should be a way to end the fights, not have to wait for it to run its course

[lyric quiver]

Time window for arena is too tight considering you have to find alliance members within level range who have time to play when you do

[past willow]

This is not the way...
It needs to be weighted/limited to average ops on a tight band period.

As someone who enjoys this game content, you need to improve the matchmaking.

[warm kestrel]

well, I finally got a chance to sit down today. Took a bit of time to recrew my station, and I can't even get to the point where the matchmaking issues kick in. Active alliance but there's only 3 others interested in playing and they're all 5* players whereas I'm still only 4*. Maybe I'll try again next week? This could be fun but restricting everyone to such a small pool of players to potentially engage with is going to make this mechanic an afterthought.

[short pier]

If you guys instist on keeping this D-tier excuse for an RTS arena, your entire dev team needs to take a month to play actual RTS games so they will realize how utterly unworkable this HORRID excuse for a UI is when you're desperately trying to hit 1-second time windows to do armadas without dying to the neckbeard with his whalemobile sitting inside it.

[lone turret]

Just throwing it out there, these arenas would be much better if server wide, only 1 lvl each side of the starter and three to a match both sides. Plenty enough for continuous matches that would be far closer in power, researches and ships than what we have now.

This event has nothing to do with alliances in the ranking system of the faction store or personal ranking of the players, why it’s confined to alliances escapes me. Several ppl in several alliances can’t join because of a lack of players available, even with the 7+/- ops lvls that can join on each side of the starter. This also is the single major cause of the terrible matchups that people are complaining about.

As it is now, players who can’t join arena in their own alliance are forced to join other alliances to even participate and can only do that when real alliance events and arcs are not running at the same time or they risk losing rewards from those events.

C’mon Scopely, get it together, who makes these new events harder and more complicated than it has to be…

[short pier]

It's confined to alliances because alliance social structure helps keep players from quitting when they realize how much Scopely hates them. Scopely wants people in alliances for that reason. Scopely wants people to join active alliances so there is social pressure to keep playing. It's that simple.

[undone iron]

Oh hey! Those are my teammates. Yeah, Hral is really strong for a 50. Don't worry, the game gave us terrible matchups too...

[hardy torrent]

Great event. Can you finish coding it so the fields load?

[quick nest]

The sad thing is, this could have been a fun feature … if it wasn’t for the lack of other sourcing options I’d probably just sit out as it’s been much more frustrating than entertaining.

[warm kestrel]

You're not wrong but I'm in the #2 alliance on my server, 82 members and we were running 1 crew during the last 2 hours of the event. I had to wait an hour for one of the 3 to go to bed so I could get an hour in. It was fun, even when we lost, but the hour+ I spend recrewing my ships and waiting for a turn was equally unfun. This mechanic really needs to allow joining as teams and as individuals in order for this to work long term. The more times it runs with only 3 or 4 out of 82 wanting to play at any given point the more people are going to decide to stop looking for a seat and just ignore it altogether

[zenith peak]

You should open this event up server wide. Some alliances don’t have the players to fill a squad. Also the matchmaking sucks! Like a lot.

[lone turret]

They are failing when you have to leave your alliance to play or can’t participate at all

[warm kestrel]

Dude, give Doserod some respect. 9th of all lvl 45s in the game! Hral isn't even on the 1st page for their lvl

[lone turret]

Why is that green symbol by my name?

[green mica]

Feedback: yes, matchmaking should be better. And a small weekly gift of instant repairs would be great. And 5v5 is definitely better. But, do not dare stop running arenas. That are extremely fun, they are rewarding, and even with their issues, they are infinitely better than their absence.

Same with tournaments, we need tournaments. It’s abhorrent you postponed them before we could even source anything from them.

[neon terrace]

<@&509690795536941056> so you mentioned a lot of events upcoming. Lots of useless and bored of (faction hunt for example). But where is alliance tournament? We got a bad arena feature and will got a bad incursion as always. Could you please concentrate on that event which has potential in it?

[quartz rivet]

<@&509690795536941056> , can you please tell us what this is supposed to be?
Do we get special Prime packages for two days of incursions or should we just get to know each other better within the two days? 🙄

[night star]

👆👆🤣🤦‍♂️

[low imp]

Lol I have been stuck in the arena with my team mates overnight and still there now! What a mess.

[vast barn]

Yup, same. 10 hours for me and teammates now. Hoping that scopely can fix once their devs are awake.

[opaque jacinth]

Yesterday's arenas were still buggy enough: lots of freezing of both ships and system. Rarely it becomes OK if to switch look into base and back into arena's system; in most such lags only solution is to restart the game

[gloomy silo]

I tried 3 x arenas last night, team of 54-57ops. All 3 times got matched with 62+ players, one of who camped with speed crew killing anything that entered. After a minute or 2 we gave up and wasted another 8 mins. After 3 matches, gave up on arenas. Done and forgotten about. Great job. 👍

[charred hazel]

Its so annoying that most premium dust is linked to SLBs and from the middle 50s your stuck with ops60+. This game is ridiculous

[true radish]

I had about 30min last night where I was free to play which isn't always the case. I was unable to find any participants from my alliance to do arenas during that time.

The timing of arenas this week has made it sonI was unable to participate. This event NEEDS to be longer! Make this a 24hour event on Tuesdays. It won't interfere with mining Monday and I find Tuesdays to be slow event wise except for arch fall days. If the time slot remains like this I will not be able to participate and miss out on rewards.

Match making is so broken still as pictured by others above. My suggestion is to first, reduce bracket size for better match balancing. Second, open teaming up to entire server like waves. This will allow faster teaming if your alliance is smaller or mostly afk at points throughout day. I have never seen a team from my server in arena, it's always from another server. It will also make smaller bracket range more manageable.

[late mango]

incursions has 704-705 and 706-707 as well as several EU servers, listed on both day 1 and day 2. Which one is it? @near saddle I personally am asking about 704-705

[scenic flint]

His ranking is insane. It just shows that Scopely obviously isn't actually taking into consideration the ranking when it come to match making.
@limpid galleon

[lyric quiver]

Arenas should be run in parallel with incursions for the same duration as incursions. This would give people more time to participate in arena. Nobody can really mine then and since arena pulls your miners anyway, that would alleviate that issue. You could incorporate arena scoring into incursions events. Could run war room in parallel and have it count for that as well. People who participate in incursions generally raid but there’s often downtime as alliances/servers look for targets. Downtime could be filled with arena.

[undone iron]

Dozer is indeed crazy strong too (and good at arenas). Just was focused on responding to the person complaining about Hral being too tough of a matchup.

[scenic flint]

I think the weekly arena is good. But I do love the idea of having arenas during incursions and having that count towards the final scoring. Brilliant.

[undone iron]

Yeah, our group is fairly highly rated. I'm ops 42 and a few thousand above Hral. Hral, Dozer, and I are the top three on our server.

But how do you fix that matchup? We did get paired with a lot of higher players (as I've posted) but that feels equally unfair. At least comparable ops has the option to be the same power.

It feels different to be fighting ships two tiers higher (and 300M more powerful) than to fight someone who is at your ops and chose to focus on being stronger rather than moving up faster.

But, either way, me being just outside the top 50 (12,470 rank) across all servers would mean what? Scopley just doesn't match me up? I'm a 42. And most of the other top 100 are all in the 65+ range.

To me, fair should mean that if you are strong for your ops and use the right tactics you have a chance to win. If you moved faster or play poorly, then you should progress slower.

[scenic flint]

@undone iron It mostly just shows that pvp isn't balanced in the game and that Scopely lied about taking ranking into considerations. I'm top 3 for my ops on my server. Within the top 200 in the world. So while not super strong, I'm fairly strong. But the difference in the match was so one-sided it's insane. It very well could by that I don't have the latest FT and am missing a lot of the Primes.

I like the idea of the arena and for the most part had decent matchups. But it's entirely unfun to be match against someone who is several ranks above mine and obviously so much stronger that my 2 best pvp ships can barely scratch the paint of one ship. And once I lose both pvp ships and my speed crew for pve hostiles under 1 minute, there isn't any point in trying for that matchup.

I am not expecting to win every match. But hitting a brick wall (or having the brick wall hit me) is simply not fun.

[undone iron]

Agree completely that PvP is imbalanced and small power differences can make a big impact in something like arena. If they can kill your 1 best ship, likely you don't have a second one that's nearly as good. Now you're stuck with their one ship controlling the field.

I just don't think there's a solution to the PvP issue that Scopley would want to implement. Arena seems like a event where a large % you'll just be crushed. A smaller % you'll easily crush them. And then a very small % will be well balanced.

It's like everything else in this game. You can spend more time/play smarter, but in the end it's going to be imbalanced to make you want to spend more money.

So yeah, there are definitely matches where I try to use what I can, blow up a bunch, and then we all just wait for it to end. I think that's just something we'll all need to accept.

[odd dock]

the biggest issue that noone seems to mention is scopely ...

they made it clear that they only 'alter' mechanics once iirc... and they have changed pvp arenas to 3/5 team comp ... im expecting no further changes to something they already changed.

the pvp arena is doa for me and probably 80% of the community, but i know im not their target participant, the saudi princes and us stockbrokers are.

[green mica]

I agree. Ranking should be based on skill at your ops, not ops. But at least it’s fun and playable as it is.

[versed token]

it's neither, the matchmaking should be simply bracketed in some way, show me how could I win against players 10 levels higher who can dispose of any of my ships with speed crew. When the only way to win is lag, bugs or utter incompetence of the other team, I don't find it "fun". Only once in my 10 matches yesterday was I matched against comparable team and was kinda fun.

As for the playable part, there was everpresent lag, which basically decided who wins or loses, even more killing any fun that could have been. Yes, I did enough matches to get the currency until next week. Will I bother next week? Probably not, the frustration experienced this time is starting to overcome the fomo by a big margin.

The whales can have fun against each other, I'm out, unless something improves. Apropos, I'm most common ops level (56) in third biggest alliance on our relatively lively server, there was hard time getting a team this time at any time during the event, so people are already giving up on this.

[lyric quiver]

Weekly is fine but not on Mondays.

[stone quarry]

No TC scoring event yesterday? There was no indication of a Bye for Territory Capture event. Haven't had a follow up to this error.

[odd dock]

they dont bother running incursion prep events these days? guess incursions are doa like the arena

[molten marlin]

No prep, comp chest when your day starts

[hasty flint]

Arenas are a great idea, conseptually, but operationally need work. Match-ups are the 1st real problem, especially when you have G4s vs G5s... Also, I am sure I'm not speaking for myself, but most people, the 2 minute repair time is LONGGGGG, it should be 30 sec if you want people to stay interested, bc when we are overmatched and just stop playing, its a long 10 min to watch the other team do things, when all your ships are destroyed, and only 1 is repairing again for 2 min of it. WANT ENGAGEMENT, FIX THOSE 2 THINGS PLEASEEEEEE

[odd dock]

they trying to sell repairs ... to the ppl that repair the most (f2p that get steamrolled) ...

f2p dont pay .... the system is set up for a saudi prince vs us stockbroker fight .... and anyone not 1 of those 2 is basically a tramp that scopely dont care about ... and only actions (by scopely) can change that fact.

80% of players arent engaging with it .. or at least by the old data from 2 weeks ago, and it only went down to 75%? with the recent change. its as dead as incursions that sees a similar activity. and we all know whats wrong with incursions ...

[mild moth]

Im OPS 63. Scopeless as its best.

[shrewd snow]

G3 mats for rewards for g5??!! Wtf...

[sterile wigeon]

Man, I really wish the BP token store was open, like, 2-3 days after arc end. I wait until towards the end to spend so I have an optimal allocation, but life is a thing. I missed it by a minute.

[mighty karma]

There wasn't a timer on the event store! Ughhhhhh that's total garbage I had tons of credits to still spend

[rose tartan]

Nexus event - Borg SMS only giving G3 materials in the rewards. Being ops 58 this is obviously very useful

[vocal willow]

So to confirm, are the only way to do these events to pay for premium terror tokens??

[runic meadow]

Ticket to terror………………..computer says no

[lucid idol]

Seriously? I'm 64 ops...

[icy marsh]

@full swan why am i getting 3 star mats as reward for halloween event as a 55??

[charred trail]

so glad others are posting about the terrible mat rewards.

[scenic vale]

so it's 100% paywalled or delay in the gift chest?

[short ermine]

Mines the same at ops 60
Store is trash also

I ain’t paying for a ticket to go shoot hostiles. Just another absolute joke of an event.

[lucid idol]

It literally says heroic in the title, what do you think?

https://tenor.com/view/dean-cain-comments-just-here-for-the-comments-gif-15260956

[scenic vale]

my bad 😂 what was i thinking

[gusty robin]

This event seems like ghetto Megacube

[lucid idol]

<@&509690795536941056> are you guys ever gonna learn that paywalling seasonal events is 100% guaranteed to go down like a lead balloon? You've attempted this several times and every time faced huge backlash from the community. Seems like the Scopely process is a circle:

1. Make ill-advised decision
2. Compensation chest/ignore player feedback entirely
3. Repeat

[runic meadow]

Nope…….they said no mega cube 🤔

[viscid bough]

Rewards for the terror events are not worth $50, no way

[terse pewter]

nothing in this game is yet people still swipe their cards 🤷‍♂️

[vernal heath]

Nightmare Nexus: Borg - SMS at lvl 64 rewards are messed up.... it's giving G3??? 🙄

[jaunty nacelle]

These rewards are what every player is getting no matter the level.. extremely insulting to anyone over lvl 35.. and then to go and make people pay to do Grind events.. and they wonder why so many players leave and they have to merge so many servers..

[wet crag]

So Incursions, with only a weeks notice this time I note, less than we used to get, at the same time we have halloween events on for a limit time ? Great idea that 😐

They know why, they don't care, as long as new whales keep coming through the door, the money keeps rolling in. Zero interest in making a good game, it's all about maximising income vs expenditure

[viscid bough]

Please don't reward scopely for this 💩

[round helm]

Given that a player can use all of their ships, I think reducing repair time to only 30 seconds would be too much. If the ships allowed to participate were limited then that would be a must, but most ppl have somewhere between 5-8 docks meaning there are ships available to replace those that get destroyed.

Maybe reduce it to 90 seconds, possibly as low as 60 seconds if the majority of players support that, but any lower than that begins to significantly reduce the benefits of focusing on PvP to slow down the opponent.

Just my opinion.

[pliant forum]

ops 55 rewards??? 3*?? is there some new research coming i can use these on?

[sour cypress]

also for EU reset is messed up since sunday due to time change. i'm sure a lot of ppl would appreciate them reopening event store. wrote to support already, but still tagging you guys 🫣 😅 <@&509690795536941056>

[runic meadow]

Reset has been messed up for months.

[vernal heath]

Flash Pass is bunk too.... sorry but who wants M'Benga shards? 🤷‍♂️

[round helm]

Yes, I was expecting 1 more day to spend them....

[median loom]

How come the nexus nightmare events are paying out G3 when I'm a G5 player (Ops 58)

[round helm]

Absolutely! Also, to do something completely for the players for once, why not have a month where the event store takes every kind of event currency from the past few years?

[neon terrace]

Scenario: So now everyone whine about g3 materials. Scopely gives halloween thingy as compensation, probably enough for 1 shard of an officer. Nobody happy, because that tiny amount of player lvl related materials would be more useful than the 1 shard. End of story.

[round helm]

Then everyone can use all the small amounts from each one and also use any large amounts they got stuck with for whatever reason.

[solar citrus]

Ya someone screwed up on the Halloween payouts. G3 for G4 and G5 players? Come on Scopely, do you not have staff that proofs these things? I'm ops 49 so why would I need 3* mats?????

[sour cypress]

yeah, but now it's messed up AND 1 hour early

[lyric quiver]

Nightmare nexus sms has 3 star mats for rewards?

[round helm]

Completely agree about the need to extend the time. Once a week is a good frequency, but having it last 8 hours when the most common work shift is right around 8 hours, and we've got multiple highly active members of my alliance who are working (or commuting to and from) during the entire event.

[granite tundra]

Not everything in this game needs to be monetized. Holiday events should be a gift to the community not paid to play

[round helm]

I was also wondering why we didn't have the alliance tournament in late October like we did in late September. Didn't they say it would be monthly? Maybe start planning the schedule a couple months in advance so we will know when alliance tournament, incursions, war room events, etc. are without being in the dark most of the time.

I do think that the once a week arena event makes sense, but the time should be extended by a few hours before and after so 2nd shift workers can participate. And maybe reduce the match up range for opponents so ppl don't end up with 53, 54, 56 vs 63, 64, 67 or something similar. Right now it could potentially be 49, 49, 56 vs 63, 69, 69. That's insane.

[median tapir]

Yet another element within that game with improper/false description. You don't earn points by spending, but by earning them.

[molten marlin]

you earn from both

[clear wyvern]

Trick or Treat.... Got tricked

[round helm]

In my alliance, if we end up with 4 ppl, we rotate a member in and out so that everyone gets to participation. If we have 5 ppl, we message a few members to try to bring in a 6th, or we would rotate 2 ppl.

It's not ideal, but IMO it beats having 1 or 2 ppl writing for an hour or two.

[tranquil heart]

so we lost megacube event and instead get another pay to play ticket event with a different unique ticket currency that doesn't carry over? why

[lapis crag]

Yeah Ops60 here

[rigid rover]

Won't let me post in incursion feedback but this is giving us opposing dates for incursion

*edit: nevermind they just removed it from facebook...

[rustic girder]

Can these events be a bit more.... i killed 5 probes and fully completed.... honestly that's unacceptable...and same with Gorn ships...

[oblique ridge]

All I wanted for Hallowe’en was a Moopsy hailing frequency 😏

[mild moth]

Scopely is beyond repugnant and incompetent. 6000 event store tokens as compensation for g3 rewards...that's just as bad as the g3 stuff itself!

[solemn sky]

how about this i m lv 29 i got event borg solo armadas which as i know can do only when i be lv35

[rustic girder]

They expect you to buy to push ops to do event silly

I know this has been previously mentioned by others, but why am I only getting G3 rewards when I'm ops 60? I haven't needed G3 mats for nearly 2 years. Please make the event rewards relevant for the current player level.

On the news post for the Halloween events.....it has an image of Mirror Kira where the officers for the event store are listed......but she isn't in the store.....just regular Kira. It would be nice if Mirror Kira was in the store.....

[full swan]

Following up on this.

[clear wyvern]

trick OR treat. You got tricked into spending on 3* ore

[grand moss]

Everytime you have a money only event, it not only excludes those that are unable to pay, but for many of us that can it makes us not want to. You lose out on a lot of small spending income...not that you care.

[little hazel]

All I’m seeing in the event store is officers…

[copper shadow]

all I see in the event store and events are um well ya know I'll be polite and not say it in here

[shut wharf]

Can you confirm war room event is supposed to start at 2 AM ? (EU time)

[molten marlin]

it starts in an hour and a half

[quaint parrot]

I hope War Room will have "deal damage to players' ship to score" because as I can read now War Room is another PvE event, mining event in this case. it's too late to turn on my brain so I am wrong: it can not be another mining event...or "hit empty/weak stations to score" event...it's too late

[molten marlin]

it does not

Win Against a Player Station: 3,000,000,000 points
Lose Against a Player Station: 100,000,000 points

Complete TC Trailblazer Event: 500,000,000 points

Raw Isogen (all grades) raided in PvP: 10,000 points per unit (means opc)
Dock 1-Star Isogen: 100 points per unit
Dock 2-Star Isogen: 80 points per unit
Dock 3-Star Isogen: 60 points per unit

Raw Materials (all grades) raided as Invader or Defender: 5,000 points per unit (opc during incursions, gas/crystal/ore)

[shut wharf]

I have no problem with pvp events but to publish the announcement at 23:41 for a start at 2 AM seems to me weird to say the least. For the incursion qlso supposed to start thursday no precise day confirmed yet... will it also start at 4 AM?

[strong anchor]

What’s with this scheduling? Are events starting at random times the future of stfc?

[rustic girder]

I actually hope so...

[heavy ivy]

War room is suppose to run with incursion it just feels like they forgot to start it ealier is all. It runs for multiple days so isn't overly an issue and should be active for the 3 days of incursion so 🤷‍♂️
Only a side not it would be nice if the war room and AT had timers like the arena does so we know when they should run

[quaint parrot]

2 AM in Europe and 6 PM in California. the problem is STFC has just one time zone, Pacific Standard Time

Want some feedback! Arenas are worthless! 4th graders can do better math . 62,63,64 average is 63 gets paired with a 70. Ya ... You can keep ur garbage events

[chilly flower]

that is within the +/-7 ?

[stoic linden]

Easiest warroom ever? Done in 13 minutes flat

[neon bane]

Yep they need to keep the ships in the same bracket. Go from G6 UC to rare and it's just game over and we just sitmthere waiting to lose while timer counts down. Total waste of time

[quaint parrot]

this is not War Room event: this event runs twice per month with last milestone at 900B points in which everyone must attack every ship...or share latinum in Origin Space.

We are playing something else.

[stoic linden]

What are you even talking about, it's the War Room - it says so at the top

[quaint parrot]

I am talking about how the first War Room event version, improved with higher milestones to increase play time, has nothing in common with War Room event is running today.

[stoic linden]

I'm not sure how then that applies to my image because what you are talking about has no relevance to it whatsoever

[quaint parrot]

that's why I have not quoted you. the message was addressed to who reads and catalogues the feedback.

[stoic linden]

Ok that makes more sense I was reading it as a reply

[uncut fable]

nothing gained nothing earned nothing lost... the scopely way

[molten marlin]

need to score something to claim if it was finished already

[rigid rover]

Can u explain? We're having the same issue. All of a sudden it was full and we were on tier1

[molten marlin]

Go hit a station or someone opc

[rigid rover]

It worked for us. Thank you. Not sure why this has happened but not going to complain

[molten marlin]

Always been that way if it's completed before you score, same applies for ams events and albs.

[pliant estuary]

I find it disappointing that something called "The Warroom" has become a mine iso event....cause nothing screams war like mining iso. my alliance finished in 1 minute with a preloaded selkie

[rose tartan]

<@&509690795536941056> the war room is awful.
Started at 1am in UK, I log on at 4.30 am and it’s already done because someone mined some ISO. I mean you guys know how to give us some fun. There isn’t even a pvp aspect to it this time. All the farmers just neutering the game.

[bold geyser]

Events only available with purchasing Tickets is really a joke. Isn't it?

[jolly heath]

So a Seasonal Event that has a door fee of $50, to unlock a series of grind events, to get some officer shards?

Yeah, hard pass on that. If the events are -that- grindy then access should have been free with the $50 pack to skip the grind.

Do better.

[languid path]

Just to double check the trick or treat event is pay only?
Or do I have to click somewhere to join, in one of the buckets?

[shadow trellis]

Pay only

[sly path]

Do players need to actively "contribute" to WarRoom, ie by docking iso, to get the rewards despite the WarRoom being completed?

[devout pagoda]

Yes

[sly path]

Is that what the "the Alliance must act as one to claim all Bundles" in the explanation is referring to?

[devout pagoda]

Yup. Just hit a base or mine and dock some iso, that should do the trick

[sly path]

Thanks. Some of my alliance were having trouble but since I'm all done I couldn't experiment and see to help them. 🙏🥰

[fluid igloo]

Feedback for the end-of-arc/ ship event store:

• very nice that we got more currency again, this is a good level imo.
• adding the FCs in there was also pretty good

[celest steppe]

My war room is on but it says I claimed everything and I have not even played yet today. Strange

[urban hatch]

Incursions is coming and the 706 vs 707 pairing is still listed on both Day 1 and Day 2 and it would be nice if it could be corrected before it actually happens.

[tame knoll]

Anyone know what’s going on with the war room? Apparently the event went active last night. All my
Milestones show complete but I didn’t get any of the war chest keys for each milestone target… bugged?

[tired ember]

How is it that I was #1 in trick or trek slb for all day then someone gets my same score and puts me into second place?

[queen kindle]

@celest steppe A new warroom task turned on yesterday. It was easy to finish so your alliance may have already done that for you. All alliance tasks like this (including ALBs and AMSs) require participation in order to claim the rewards.

To activate the grayed out button, you'll need to perform a scoring task for this run like docking iso.

[strong anchor]

Syndicate not scoring this morning

[strong anchor]

correction: very extreme lag on scoring for all events on 41

[raven idol]

Reported an issue on the war room not awarding points received and just not working correctly. I feel that canned responses are frustrating to deal with

[odd dock]

<@&509690795536941056> i like the war room scoring changes 👍

[spring igloo]

Where did you get that schedule? I haven’t seen any official announcements and start time is less than 24 hours away.

[urban hatch]

announcement has a pointer to the pairings on the main site.

https://startrekfleetcommand.com/news/october-infinite-incursions-pairings/

[true hare]

The only feedback i have on the new war room scoring, is that it seems a bit too fast with station raiding. 29 successful attacks is a bit too easy. 1 person can easily do that in 30 minutes when raiding a base. Maybe tone down the win points a bunch, and add in points for damage done/rss taken? with more points for lower ops levels so they dont feel useless.

[earnest ginkgo]

Nightmare Nexus: Borg Armadas -SLB isn't scoring correctly, I checked the logs from one Solo armada, scoring added 150m to my totals from it but logs show 407m damage done to the armada

[fast shoal]

Now that the war room is back, lets get an alliance tournament on the schedule please? Its good enough to run, and its kind of BS to not run it regularly, when everything requires multiple runs to unlock anything from the store

[fading veldt]

I ain't doing incursion during Halloween it will be. The. 1st. One. Ive missed but. Thats a Joke!!!!

[elfin nest]

What's up with the war room chest. The pts below does not match milestones completed

[fluid moat]

just rounding 65 + 2 + 17 = 84 ~ 85

[elfin nest]

War room is complete but unable to claim anything

[molten marlin]

You need to score a point, go smack a station, hit some iso opc, or mine some iso and dock it

[elfin nest]

Oh ok, thanks.

[sturdy cairn]

was there not going to be an slb to parallel this heroic recruit sms?

[stoic linden]

I know consistency isn't this games strong suit, when naming things. But I'm scoring in this SLB by hitting regular borg armadas even though one of these descriptions clearly says SOLO. Is the bug that I'm scoring points (albiet a small number of em), or is the bug in the description.

[torpid marten]

They give the impression that they have divided between two who writes at the top and who writes at the bottom and they have not agreed to put the same thing.

It may also be that the person who wrote this has a memory limited to less than 1 minute and when he wrote what was below he no longer remembered what he had written above.

[true thistle]

Expansion cube (group armada) counts so bottom one is correct

[tacit dawn]

War Room is leading to a lot of conflict on a personal level; please change the pvp part of this event.
(Since we have the arena now we actually don't need yet another pvp event).

[shadow trellis]

Can hit a dead station so shouldn’t cause any conflict

[night fractal]

Just sink anything in sight and mute anyone sending love letters

[tacit dawn]

Nope, this ends way too often in inter-alliance trouble.

[clear wyvern]

Yeah if someone is getting that worked up over pixels in a game...
You gain some, you lose some

[shadow trellis]

Plenty dead bases that you can spam

[ocean crypt]

where is incursions starting time posted, which 3pm timezone

[molten marlin]

Day 1 - <t:1730386800:f>
Day 2 - <t:1730473200:f>
Day 3 - <t:1730559600:f>

[dawn glacier]

At this point they probably could consolidate all the forced pvp events.

Pvp has always been apart of the game but we now have 3 reoccurring events tied directly to it, war room, incursion, arena.

Statistically most do not like, or care about theses events (2/3rds of players stated the first incursion was bad, only 20-30% player participation in arenas meaning 70-80% of the player base isn't engaged, etc...).

So timing them and running them together makes sense. Otherwise we'll have over half the month planned around pvp events the majority don't care about/for: 1day incursion + 1 week of incursion prep (raiding, hitting bases/opc that most servers do), 4 days of a month arenas, and 5-6 days a month of war room.

Optionally you could make pvp balanced and fun so that more people would want to participate. But you are so far down the road of making it imbalanced to make money off of people this probably isn't a realistic option.

[hardy pewter]

what event action is possible this afternoon with the game being utterly unplayable? Ships won't / can't combat, recall to base or mine! What else is left?

[remote badge]

You can mine & dock iso; we never had a 100% pve component to previous war rooms...

[tacit dawn]

I know about that and about the other "options" like attacking a station, but the problem is that others don't.

[half flare]

The syndicate prize for first place in the damage xslb is 7500. It seems like that needs to be increased (today would be nice, but worst-case before the next incursion) to align with the recent syndicate expansion.

[remote badge]

So they took an event that was intended to be 100% pvp, added the first completely pve scoring mechanic, and that's not good enough? I get that this community is rarely happy, but people also need to read the new scoring mechanics because they're almost entirely different than before 🤦🏻‍♀️

[oblique ridge]

I haven’t collected rewards yet - several others in alliance reporting the same

[soft remnant]

So…. Is incursion not happening? It said it was today but nothing.. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[molten marlin]

You need to score a point, go smack a station, hit some iso opc, or mine some iso and dock it

[urban hatch]

What server? 706 v 707 is listed for Day 1 and Day 2, but did not occur today.

[soft remnant]

I’m in 707 😔

[urban hatch]

Yeah, Scopely totally dropped the ball on that. I've been asking for days now which day was correct. They fixed several other errors in the listing, they need to get a few people who actually pay attention to details 😡

[oblique ridge]

Ah, thanks - I forgot normal PvP doesn’t score

[fluid gust]

mining BP event during incursions? have you gone mad?

[sharp sonnet]

Didn't you get the memo? Scopely was just jacking with us. No incursion.

[lapis perch]

So who is the bright spark that scheduled a mining event on same day as incursions?

[soft remnant]

Probably the same bright spark that forgot about 706/707 😂

A mining BP while incursion is running....excellent....?! 😡

[viral pagoda]

Holloween event is horrible imo. The free is last years player icon... too lazy to come up with a new one?
Then to charge for an event for a holiday. Greed is good..
Also can not understand why a Holiday prize is rewarded on or after Holiday. Get them to us prior so we can actually use them prior to said holidays.

[wicked mica]

<@&509690795536941056>
Its good to bring back Incursion Prep events before the incursions. Not only does it get provide valuable Incursion resources but also gives players a few days to know whats coming without being active on discord.

[low spire]

Can you allow scoring when attacked by greater ships in the SMS PvP event? People come with bigger ships and completing that event is a pain.

[full swan]

Yup. Think we'll be bringing the prep events back for the next run.

[neat condor]

When one of the regular monthly events is replaced, like the Halloween event has replaced the Megacube event, the rewards for the new event series should be at least the equivalent of the series it is replacing. Especially when you consider limited claim items that will now take another month to obtain, or officers that aren't as consistently sourced elsewhere

[mild glacier]

How are we supposed to play an event based on pvp if there’s so much lag we can’t even control our own ships, let alone target anything? FIX THE LAG!!!

[ripe sierra]

Also nothing like a 1-day event requiring hitting 83 hostiles (Hirogen Elites + 8472s) with your level-locked Voyager, and doing it during incursions

[sly path]

<@&509690795536941056> May I ask why giving an odd amount of Halloween currency for the SLB, when the minimum spend is 200 and they are all even amounts, was thought to be a good idea. There are now many, many players who'll end up with 100 left over. Just make the rewards 3600 for example. Stop making us end up with leftover currencies that we can't use.
Last arc's event store I ended up with 15 I couldn't spend... have a covert 1 currency to to 1 lat option.

[half flare]

After the first hump, you’re not defeating any ships though. How hard is it to discount victories in which no damage is done?

[strong anchor]

amazing after umpteen pvp battles on both servers, this is my score

[half flare]

S41 had incursions 1 day after a merger, there was a mining bp event during incursions, during a bonus refinery, it was on Halloween, and it was against a server whose average player is 25% stronger than ours (take total server power and divide by # of active players: https://wtf2-0.fly.dev/servers).

[last lance]

<@&509690795536941056> - Thank you for bringing back incursions. It is one of my favorite events and I had a great time. Even though my server got molly whopped it still was a good time.

[gentle sun]

How TH were we supposed to get all these hostile hunt and solo armada events done during an incursion? Getting Dimensional Breach done in an hour when everyone else is trying to is impossible.

[light canyon]

So the ticket to terror supposed Halloween event had been made a scopley greedy money grubbing event by being a paid event. Scopley your greed is destroying this game.

Great job running a Xindi event that ONLY counts xindi. Awesome stuff for people who haven't been 40+ long enough to even have the Xindi favors unlocked.

You push everyone to ascend ASAP, then hand us an event that is just 100% hard stop impossible to complete if you ascended quickly and didn't max ex-borg rep. It's such a giant middle finger.

[granite tundra]

why was a grind slb done on incursions day

[modern spade]

<@&509690795536941056> .. There are words to describe the decision to have not only an SMS but also an SLB for Silent hostiles for Halloween 40+. Not many would be allowed.
Whomever decided to do this has obviously never played to a level where they had to do a single load, let alone multiple, let alone with so many others around.
Completing the SMS will be difficult, competing a waste of time.
The spawning rates of hostiles you can hit here are worse than Hirogen.
And to compound the misery, these are token systems with no visibility, so you have to spend the token first to then see that there are twenty poor souls fighting over one viable hostile every two minutes or so….
Guess this was the “trick” part of Halloween.
This isn’t the first time this sort of thing happens… it would be so easy to avoid the abuse and complaints you’re about to be flooded with if these choices for events were run by an experienced player or two first. And yet .. they’re not.. it’s reckless.

[outer verge]

I like the silent event... my cargo space (642k) for my pilum is to low... kill only lv 49 (150... then cargospace ful)... iam lv 50

[modern spade]

This is a 40+ event, im level 41, I can only kill L41 of two types, and I cannot see into the token system before I go there to meet twenty other people also desperate to complete,.. for you it’s fine, but try and remember what silent were like when you were lower level, with no Pilum, no janeway? Would you enjoy it so much?

[proven sparrow]

The rewards for incursions really do suck so only 2000 coins for winning
NOTHING for losing
and no coins for any individual ranking, I worked my butt off for literally nothing I care about

[untold zephyr]

Hey devs,
The Crucible of war event could use some work.
Currently only special ship till the ISS jelly gets you any extra points.

The ships that are missing are:
Borg cube
The vindicator
Gorn Eviscerator
Monaveen
NSEA protector
Enteprise NX-01

[modern spade]

Only 32 people have scored in the 40- 44(/5?) bracket of the Silent SLB on 401
Never seen less interest, testament to poor choice for the pellet 40-++

[quartz wind]

I noticed a similar situation with the SMS for Incursion. The protector and a number of other recent ships weren't included in scoring.
Probably a lot of similar events will have the same issues

[boreal coyote]

They don’t update old stuff 🤷‍♂️

Or I should say, it takes forever if they do anything. When new things come into the game, they don’t change the older systems. Look at the newer artifacts: 100% not sortable in their own building, with its own menu. How long have people been asking for a cow or cosmic cleanup update. If it don’t make dollars it don’t make sense…..

[modern spade]

Last day of the Silent SLB monstrosity event, also known as “how many tokens did you save, did you pay for Janeway (yet), how much time do you have to waste” event.
Total participants in 40-44 bracket is 38. And that means the same number only even started the SMS.
Two and a half hours last night to get my 8 loads, 56 hostiles. Another 45 mins this morning to use my two tokens for today.
Please don’t EVER do this again, I hope the terrible participation shows just how bad an idea this was.

[full portal]

My silent SLB disapered one hour after events reset...

[queen kindle]

The silent SLB was moved to the correct folder, it's a halloween event.

[full portal]

😵‍💫😵😑

[left marlin]

Hey Scopely! If you’re not gonna bother doing something about all the ridiculous amounts of clutter in our Inventory, then stop making careless errors that needlessly add more! The cheapest items in the Nightmare Store are the Rare Officers that cost 200 Candies. But because no one bothers to check the math on SLB rewards, I have 100 Candies left that will sit in my Inventory forever! C’mon, this is easy 3rd grade math stuff! Sheesh! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[fresh pecan]

The Halloween event this year didn't visually feel like it had a lot of spirit. I hope for Thanksgiving and Christmas there will be quality icons and frames to earn.

[lean cargo]

8 hours for Arenas is not long enough as it is - especially for APAC, where about half our players don't even live in APAC - and now getting cut short by 3 hours for maintenance. I don't care if I have to wait 30 seconds more for a match, I just want to actually get a few in with my friends at some stage during the day.

[mortal tartan]

And fix your matchmaking, jesus. It's not rocket science

[ionic vault]

Not only they G5 and G6 vs G4s, i cannot play effectively due to the lag

[round needle]

Good idea, terrible match making scopely

[icy marsh]

matchmaking has been getting worse and worse. there needs to be a ship-tier restriction or weighing in the matchmaking. how pointless is it to try to force 3-4 tiers up as a fair fight

[lean cargo]

Yep. Lag is the worst it's been each week in arenas by far this time.

I'm disconnecting twice every match. What's up with slow mode? Matchmaking this week has reached the point where people don't even try now. Seems there's been a change under the hood that hasn't worked out so well. I felt the last few weeks have been pretty good.

[iron pivot]

arena has started... the largest alliance on our server has 1 team competing. Perhaps scopely will reread the uat comments

[icy marsh]

first week our alliance top 3 alliance of 90+ people had 40 people on trying it out. the 2nd week our alliance had maybe 15 people max on at one time playing. today....we have 1 team of 3 people. and nobody cares anymore because the matchmaking is awful and its usually just stomps. i had 4 matchmaking in a row where they pitted me as a g5 unc vs g6 unc and rares. tat's 3 ship tiers away. its pointless

[pseudo coral]

I'm level 41, can kill 9 silent, found it quick and easy, but do have Janeway. So sounds like a big difference if a player doesn't have her. I did try the romulan crew that helps counter burning which kills 5

[outer verge]

one of the best crews vs silent is picard beverly and phlox... another not tried but should work nearly same wayis pike moreau phlox... this crew going to work well if the battle is shorter or equal 8 rounds

[shadow trellis]

Pike Moreau and phlox I’ve used and was getting good results

[pseudo coral]

Nice, will give that one a go, 👍

[amber pasture]

Well done on beating 105, said you would 😉 😄 you prob get 104 next, they harder but doable

[icy apex]

That's how they end up at baseball 🫣🫣

[uneven jolt]

Nice match, close call good tactics saved the day. Not a bad match making

[fluid nest]

bad bad matchmaking

[elfin quest]

how is this even possible? 10 levels above the team leader? Your matchmaking engine seems to have been designed by a braindead monkey

[steady tiger]

everything is fine. If you calculate everything, the result is 7 everywhere. You just need to have a special calculator.

[ruby ivy]

Thought this was not possible, how on earth are you suppose to even try to play like this.

[fluid nest]

seems to be more like -10+10 levels...

[light walrus]

Probably won't as 104 has g6 accession

[proud lantern]

@full swan just curious if the charlie brown meme is going to be acceptable for the hallowmemes lol

[high aurora]

<@&509690795536941056> Now that all the events are lined up again on the same reset, can you please please please keep them on the same clock! We don't want them flopping back out of sync when daylight savings time rolls around in the spring. Keep them where they are right now.

[broken crystal]

arena matchmaking is crappy again. opponents continously way too strong. people in our ally are giving up

[untold zephyr]

To add to that can the daily events for server 402 be checked.
There is 1 ship event that triggers a day to soon.
Only a select few daily events i currently g4.
All others have the same brackets as 28+
That makes it so that from 28 onward you don't even stand a change to win those.

[vagrant topaz]

Arena is made for touchscreen where speed and dual movement is mandatory. You deploy your game as PC game. It is unplayable on PC with one hand. Another example of bad Game-management decisions. 👎

[native cedar]

Scopely, regarding last Faction Hunting event, most of us could not finish it due to the 2 hrs delay in the maintenance. Are you planning to extend this event or not?

[lucid idol]

<@&509690795536941056> I literally cannot find a team for Arenas, because nobody in my alliance wants to get shafted with the ridiculously unbalanced matchmaking... you need to fix this.

[quaint finch]

no playble event arena at all, 10 lvl up team leader . its just a waste of time and rss. As usual. well done scopely, this is the way...to let ppl go

[north granite]

Convince a couple people to just join up and then take 5minute breaks from the game as the March begins. Losses May tank rank but you still get widgets for the faction store.

[lucid idol]

This is not helpful.

[shadow trellis]

Sadly I think that’s happening a bit

[north granite]

It’s going to be the most helpful and insightful thing you will see in weeks regarding this. I’m at least giving you a way to earn credits and faction rep while minimizing the investment in a purely 💩 feature.

Doing this you can bank credits for things like the hull and shield favors for while in arenas, and get some of the other rewards in the meantime.

Then, maybe, just maybe, in a hope beyond hope, sometime in the far future there will be a cranial rectal inversion regarding how matchmaking works, and you will have not fallen so far behind as to make getting into these later even more difficult.

[lucid idol]

As a high ops player, the faction store is all but useless to me until I reach Gold 1. I couldn't care less about credits and rep, it serves no purpose to me until the actual core issue is fixed. I am sick to death of being matched with 66/67 ops, who will kill my ships regardless of what buffs/debuffs I use. There should be a hard limit that prevents teams without the next tier of ship, facing those who do. g6 uc is ALWAYS going to lose the fight with g6 rare, with some very rare exceptions.

It baffles me that this wasn't part of the matchmaking process to begin with, it seems pretty straightforward to me to put a buffer in that prevents the highest ops on one team being massively outpowered by the highest ops on the other. The amount of times I have been matched with 66, 67 or even 68 ops, when I am 64 and the highest ops on my team, is quite frankly ridiculous.

I'm aware Scopely will cite "matchmaking pool issues" with my above idea, but what they fail to realise is their current design is making people not want to participate, which in itself is shrinking the pool. Same story with the way they sell packs tbh, they hamstring themselves by not thinking logically about their decisons

[north granite]

We all know it’s garbage, best thing you can do is at least work around it and like I said build up what you can so if it either becomes not garbage, or enough people stop playing it that you get better pairings you have the ability to be effective at that point instead of having to suddenly play catch-up.

Like I said, if nothing else, stockpile credits for the hull and shield favors down the road. Three losses nets you more than a win in terms of the faction items, so you can at least keep some things progressing.

Plus, iirc, higher faction rep levels deliver more rank per win, so may as well keep the faction rep refines churning in the meantime.

[hollow lichen]

It happens every single time we get matched with unbalanced teams. No point in fighting a team of g6 players when all we have is g5

[lucid idol]

Doesn't help with how short a time they're on for too, I work half the time it's on for, and the other half I have things to do. Just all over an absolutely awful design & implementation

[north granite]

Ok, you just want to complain to complain and want to ignore any actual help to make what you have to deal with have some sort of positive outcome in any way. Got it.

[tight sierra]

Until the matching can drive to things like 53 57 59 vs 63 64 68 you can forget to have any good assesment

[lucid idol]

this is the feedback channel. I've come here to give feedback, not receive unsolicited advice that is only going to further infuriate me. I know full well how the game works and how to play the game, I do not need to be patronised and told things that are obvious that I already know. If you want to give advice, go to players helping players and give it to someone who actually asked instead of insulting my intelligence.

[candid scaffold]

great matchmaking... sarcasm-modus on <@&509690795536941056> i would like to get an explaination, who my alliance member should win that match ?

[runic meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-gif-17329261653306047132

[plucky seal]

I would like to see arena events take place in less frequency, Like once a month or every 2 weeks at least. It’s hard to partake in an event that has a limited time frame that runs constantly. Gives us some breathing room scopely.

[plucky seal]

Bro you are all over the place giving feedback no one asked for. It’s called feedback, not feedback for your feedback.

[north granite]

Not your bro, or your bruh, or anything in between.

[celest iron]

really hoped the ranking might be fixed this week. can someone tell me what anyone one of us can do against a 45b ent? other then bow down and serve tea?

same team again obviosly-.-

[broken crystal]

your matchmaking is bad and you should feel bad

[celest iron]

il just hope, that too much tea isnt bad for my health then 😄

[modern spade]

I . Absolutely LOVE arena. Just did my first three sets, got an as.s-whoopin for two, one went our way. I’m totally addicted. But this here should not happen. I’d rather wait ten more minutes or whatever it takes for a fairer matchup. I’ll take the beating anyways, but please fix the matchmaking algo so this can’t happen… @communitymanager

[fair tiger]

EU arena lag is still terrible - 5/6 attempts were unplayable sadly

[charred maple]

Where is the fun here, how does a 64 starting end up against a 52 starting

[warm kestrel]

A higher level player in an allied alliance of ours has to leave his alliance every week for this event b/c there are no other players in their alliance within 7 levels of them. He's trying to help their members grow and level up, which Scopely seems to want too, and this event is a strong incentive for that (and similar) player(s) to leave the alliance for good and let those players stagnate at their current level. If you're not going to let people enter Arenas individually and you don't want to allow server-wide teams, maybe you could make use of the forgotten Diplomacy mechanic to allow Friendly and Allied alliances to team up for Arenas. But by all means, server-wide, region-wide or world-wide would be preferred. With an in game team chat, of course. Larger pools will pave the way for better matchups and a better experience for all, don't you think?

[modern spade]

HOWWWWW.?? <@&509690795536941056>
Now sitting in lobby for ten minutes

[pulsar hatch]

Looks like it is based on arena rank and not ops.

[forest spear]

How in the world can the matchmaking still be THIS bad? Literally no one on my team had anything like the power to defeat 4 of the 6 ships we saw. Most ships were 4 times the power we could possibly field.
I can see why you censor us so badly because the only proper response to this level of incompetence is profanity. 🤬

[limpid galleon]

what is this!?

[modern spade]

What bright spark thought that up I wonder… if you’re 50 but are useless you should lose against other 50’s until you learn not get fed competent 40’s to make you feel better about being an empty ops whale failure 😡

[copper reef]

Scopely - hint for you - SKILL based matchmaking in a PAY TO WIN game DOES NOT WORK!! Until you realise that and sort games by player level you've got a dead feature (stop putting people with a whole 2 or 3 tier higher ship)
And, by the way, even the wins aren't fun when it's always so one sided.

[wide thorn]

I am done with arena event until the match ups are fixed. I have only been in one since the event started where the outcome was not predetermined by the match up.

[modern spade]

And another peach… we’re not even entering .
So ten minutes no playing at all, that is what you are forcing ppl to do.
If these squads are SO BAD that they are matched with us they deserve to lose against their own competent peers, not be fed good smaller teams.
It’s depressing, frustrating, unfair, and now I’m here whining instead of playing.
We have had three “palatable” matchups, and won two of them. 5 others are ridiculous.
please stop this GARBAGE

[autumn canopy]

How is the matching engine this broke? What the actual fuuuuuuudge.

[modern spade]

Keep them coming. I got nothing but more time to waste, really. Based on average ops level my ****

PLEASE at least give the option to FORFEIT MATCH so ppl can get on with the next failed matchup

[forest spear]

A 66... we can't even field a 66 and you sent us up against one.
Is there any way you can stop hiring homeless drug addicts to code this thing?

[modern spade]

End of first event. This could be GREAT.
Instead, a few matches are great, including some you lose, and 2/3 for us were spent in the lobby or straight afk.
If you set a maximum average ops spread to 2 ppl would still give it a shot.
But what there are countless examples of above is just ridiculous, you just collect your basic loot payout and this becomes like most other things in this game - a massive waste of your time to pull some refinery chests.
Might as well be Dabo…
Very sad to see a good opportunity wasted, and worse that we are lied to about everyone being able to play (still no ops below 40 can join my 41 squad) and lied to about the matchmaking being based on average ops.

Sad

[wide thorn]

See attached. It says it all.

[wide thorn]

The event is a waste of time. Nearly every match is predetermined by the match up. There is no skill.

[brave wigeon]

Ships getting stuck unable to deploy ships afterwards. Arena is worse now than ever.

[flat depot]

WOW match making is total dog water, big surprise.. another good idea made horrible.. scopley strikes again.. smh

[patent star]

You need a "naked" mode where FT and Primes are disabled.

[woeful whale]

Once again arenas start at the same time as the kids are home. Way to be hostile to parents. Solve this problem please. It’s perfectly fine to have 2 6-hour events.

[remote ginkgo]

With the match making, you need a forfeit button. Why waste time when you know you are going to lose!

[dawn glacier]

No one is joining the higher ops arena groups because everyone wants to join the lowest ops group possible to avoid the horrible matchups. I can't even try them to complain about the matchmaking 😂

[signal wraith]

Arena week 3:

Still utter garbage. Still massively unfair matches (as I write this my team of 51, 50, and 56 are facing a 53, 59, and 60, and the 60 has a 2.3billion Ent D).

How is it you think wasting players' time makes sense, in ANY way? I lost 12 minutes in the last match when they had a 56 and 57, now this? I got things to do!

[livid topaz]

these are the matches where we just sit there and do nothing, cause why would we?

[signal wraith]

Yup. The match I quoted against the 2.3b EntD, I literally just did loops around the base system with my speed ship. Didnt even warp out.

[viral socket]

You are telling me I only have 200 credits when I have 1000

[proper iron]

WTF?! Been getting matchups like this all arena today. Not even remotely fair or fun.

[livid topaz]

looks fair to me /s

[gritty surge]

Sigh

[compact tiger]

This is absurd. Their 54 player had more power than any two of my squad, and their 55 is more than all three!

[patent star]

That tantalus device by itself really makes this p2w mechanic unfun.

[wide thorn]

How could this event possibly be fun. The winner of nearly every tournament is predetermined by the match up.

[proven sparrow]

@full swan , when are you going to add #💣-arena-feedback to Feedback Space? It's been a long 6 days 🥶 . I'm sure with the amount of Arena posts in this channel half the community do not even know the channel exists

[signal wraith]

Never. They don't CARE about the feedback, only the money people spend to slightly suck less.

[livid topaz]

this place is a waiting room, entrance and exit right next to each other but with room for hundreds

[vestal gazelle]

how about we pick a different day for arenas. this really messes up mining Monday, so we need to choose mine or do arenas.. kind of BS IMO. making everyone choose between which event they participate in 100%.
Monday - mining
Tuesday - ARENA
Wednesday - Cerritos
Thursday - Eviscerator
Friday - ARENA
Saturday - ARENA
Sunday - Swarm.

[livid topaz]

they already have matchmaking issues, if they spread it out over more time in the week i don't think it would necessarily get better. If they limited it to a smaller window they could have more people available within the window to match up, but then fewer potential people might attend due to narrower window. it's a balance they haven't figured out yet and given their history I don't hold out hope it will make sense anytime soon. I'm on day 200+ of waiting for a queue to work, it's a basic function to unity/c# and here we are 200 days in to them figuring out how to use it properly... -You put stuff in the queue, then take it out when you use it; and they can't manage that.

[inner hull]

Hi, 2nd shift worker here. When exactly am i supposed to play when the event ends at midnight est and i get out of work at 11pm est? My dinner break when im trying to eat? The maybe half hour when i get home and cant find anyone to even play? Make it all day so everyone has a chance

[golden kiln]

Probably when we stop bombarding it with complaints 🤣

[crystal heron]

Erm arena matchs up have been pretty out of whack most of the day...but now we keep getting the same group....3x's now

[proven sparrow]

most likely because you are the only 2 teams left playing as everyone is fed up and refuses to play arena anymore 😂

[nocturne jetty]

Balance lol

[fading basalt]

Change the day of arena and mining event. Hard to get teams with so many with miners in token spaces

[half flare]

Worked all day. Got online with 40 minutes left in arenas. Couldn’t find 2 players in my range. Sat for 40 minutes then arena timer ran out. This is why I hate group features (like wave defense).

[woeful whale]

I had the same experience. The group game play and waiting for a group to come together are 2 different things and they have zero features in game to get a group together. Like a private chat. I spent 20 minutes of the final 45 minutes of the event doing nothing.

My ships get called back if I was ever to join a game so I can’t do any pve.

[half flare]

My arena rating hasn’t changed in two weeks. And it’s not for lack of trying. I like the idea of some extra syndicate xp daily.

[craggy elm]

This is a very good example on how bad the matchmaking really is:

Left side has

• OPS 59, 65, 63 (187 / 3 = 63 Avg)
• Bronze, Bronze, Silver Rankings

Right side has

• OPS 67, 70, 70 (207 / 3 = 69 Avg)
• Bronze, Gold, Gold

Matching by:

• Average OPS failed: Right side is 6! OPS Levels higher on average
• Ranking failed: Right side is by far higher.
• time: This matching is so bad that people won't even play. the wasted time for beeing idle could've been invested to search for better matches.

This matching should never have happened <@&509690795536941056>

[warm kestrel]

lag is beyond playable

[pure robin]

Maybe the game should consider giving more rewards to Arena losers as incentive to be cannon fodder for the high ranking teams. Paltry rewards for playing with no chance of winning

[sinful heart]

And let’s not forget, the whole negative rep effect for losing. So yeah, there is absolutely NO reason to play this feature atm. But I believe it is intentional to cater to the whales. So don’t look for changes that actually make sense to folks who actually want to play.

[icy marsh]

oh sheesh, ANOTHER set of pvp officers? we still haven't even gotten practical sourcing for the last like 3 or 4 sets previously

[rigid crown]

So instead of fixing Arena, they make the gap even bigger btw p2p and f2p? 🤣

[grizzled crystal]

They could have just added another RNG and transform arena in another refinery. Would be quicker and less frustrating than waiting 10min till it’s over.

[runic meadow]

I do believe that mining nodes are available 24/7/365.

[woeful whale]

Sorry where does syndicate xp come into this?

Ohhhh right. It’s nice. First (and only) thing I got from the store so far.

[proven sparrow]

Oh joy now we have QC hostiles to add to the daily grind per day...
Still, capped on 2k hostiles per day???

[past willow]

<@&509690795536941056> Has there been updates/progress on the bug and fix for alliances that were given too much Emerald Chain XP in Alliance Tournament?

[remote wasp]

<@&509690795536941056> Several players (including me) are reporting missing collect buttons in Borg Refinery. If it matters, the it’s affecting at least higher Ops, maybe all.

[vestal gazelle]

They are available in will agree. But it auto-recalls all your ships. Regardless if in token systems or not. Nobody's winning or placing anywhere close to the top if they arnt using token systems. . I know I have 2 selkie's that basically live in 6 star token space.

[regal elk]

Cant refine Borg charged nano nor other Borg refine items

[runic meadow]

Is it really worth winning the mining event on Monday, i personally think it’s not. As the rewards are rubbish and you can’t refine the stuff any quicker. I see the event as useful as Thursdays Exchange debarcle.

[signal wraith]

It's pretty much the only thing they know how to do.

[errant chasm]

Does the Vindicator refine look really expensive to anyone else? How high in rep do you need to be to make it sustainable?

[flint geyser]

great job

[remote badge]

At Silver IV I need to be able to pull 2 chests per day to get 1 Vindicator shard. A max pull will not get me 2 per day.

[novel mango]

Money talks, if you don’t spend it Scopley doesn’t care.

[spare temple]

And they scheduled it to PERFECTLY match my work schedule, so I have ABSOLUTELY no chance of playing and getting any rewards

<@&509690795536941056> Read

[spring meteor]

More high level garbage!

[half flare]

It’s in the faction store, but you need arena rep to unlock it. Since I can’t play, I can’t advance and unlock it.

[quaint parrot]

you have forgotten Tuesday is maintenance day (problems, issues, lag in this day...oh, today is Tuesday) and Friday and Saturday are Incursion Days.

Arena Combat is a weekly event and no one has to say to the game "Ehi game, today don't forget to run Arena Combat" or "Today don't run it because there is maintenance/Incursion".

[gusty robin]

<@&509690795536941056> The G3 rush SLB reward is G3 ship parts, pretty useless reward.

[boreal coyote]

unity bp with help bug. we told you for monthe we didn't want the video button.......

[slender current]

you've got to be kidding me. putting "choice rewards" in the battlepass is just a way to give us half as many rewards

[strong ether]

They have the wrong avatar rewards in the Elite BP track again.... it's not meant to be French Q avatar. 🙄

[ocean crypt]

very bad battlepass this time, choice rewards to not include all ranks of rss, which a normal battlepass would include, you ain't getting any money out of me this time around, you can keep the event and stick it where the sun don't shine, my progrss was dependent on the normal rss range from a normal battlepass

[quasi thorn]

why did they mess up the battlepass was their any need to put some event store in just for use to go their to buy the things what was all ready in the past ones

[prisma temple]

video help is blocking help again...cleared local once and now its back

[proven sparrow]

its becasue they wanted to add more rubbish to our inventory when we forget to spend them at the end of the arc

[cobalt wave]

Imagine that....... It's broken.

[pseudo coral]

Chaos modules are a ridiculous grind

[quasi thorn]

they will complain to rev and he will get the store reopened again

[languid ice]

As ops 52, thats a pretty useless SLB. Even if I wanted g4 parts, it’s the rare parts that are needed. Got plenty of uncommon.

[worldly tiger]

Where th e heck are "assimilated el-aurians" suppsoed to be, I don't see them in the new systems

[arctic herald]

put down the pipe.

[golden kiln]

Did ya’ll forget the mats….?

Oh well, I saved $20 bucks this month

[worldly tiger]

So are all those hostiles that say no where on them anything about being "El-Aurians" in fact, "El-Aurians"?

[shadow trellis]

The names might be different but just hit one of the lvl40s and it counted in the Event

[molten lodge]

they're now in the event store choice rewards... you get to choose what you want but you'll get less of them by it being this way

[worldly tiger]

thanks... why i had to hunt all over the map and then guess if they were the right hostiles when they JUST bragged about being able to link in missin descriptions is beyond me...

[errant jetty]

what in subliminal tarnation is this? Is that Q code or a language in the background of those number fields?

[golden kiln]

Yeah, that sounds about right for scopely lol

[vagrant topaz]

Any special ship to hit them or just need to match power?

[shadow trellis]

Was using my NSEA with snw crew can’t hit my ops lvl as too big , lot players hitting down on these hostiles

[left marlin]

Vindicator BP in the Terran Fac store are way too expensive. Unless I’m a whale that wins every Arena fight or I do dozens of matches every Monday, so that I can do triple pulls from the Terran daily claim, it’ll take me half a year to get the Vindicator and I’ll barely have any credits left over to buy anything else in the Terran Fac store. Prices need a major adjustment downward. Thx 🖖

[barren pasture]

Instead of 20 new currencies can Scopley fix it so I don't have to restart the game 20 times a day?

[boreal coyote]

I completely agree. @full swan this is kinda ridiculous. We are used to having to make choices, but this one is very hard to swallow.

[dense hollow]

@full swan why are we getting given events that we cannot compete in at the lower levels when you need to be level 40 to take them on? This is becoming a joke and not thinking of or helping lower than ops level 40 to consider playing the game

[honest pond]

i belive it is the way they want to push you to ops40+...its been like this for many months now

[rustic girder]

Just give the lobbies a push to 40 hahajaj

[dense hollow]

well all they are doing is pushing me to quit again

[regal barn]

Completed mission, built new independent archives, and there is no new building in my base.

[shadow trellis]

Have you updated app

[honest pond]

update game client app

Battle pass milestone rewards are a bit of a mystery…

[fathom walrus]

Independent Archive Rush SLB rewards...for real?

[clear wyvern]

Good, since I'm not scoring in it anyway #🏆-event-chat message

[fathom walrus]

Can a brotha get some rare parts

[late orchid]

Jeez move the arena around to different days or make it 24hrs.

[tame terrace]

What is with the cheesy Syndicate rep and galactic recruit thingys for mission key rewards. You REALLY don’t want to motive us to collect mission keys do you? Also, ask Scopely if they could try any harder to discourage elite battle pass purchase? I stopped buying them every time the moment they took out the rare Armada tokens in the 20 day pass. I would still get it occasionally for the mats. Now they’ve got this choice rewards. No thanks. I got better rss when they were in the battle pass.
PS, It is also very chinzy to give us two separate amounts on the same day (like 45 and 45). Just give 90 and give something else

[polar bobcat]

Need to rethink the voyager and monaveen daily rewards.... why would we want more monaveen/voyager ship parts after it's maxed out (which is the requirement to Get daily rewards)???
Also, gotta Love the typical scopely solution for loops is to make a new loop and at least 3 new currencies... the requirement to complete these loop-eliminating loops. The purpose of these is to reduce loops, but to do that, you have to max the ship first... which eliminates the need for that loop...
Then, putting a cost of each milestone... 😂🤣😂 Priceless, and expected....
But hey, the concept had promise... before you Scopley'd it.

[rustic girder]

It's to make it easier for those that still collect the mats I suppose

[mellow fjord]

You dont understand how finishing a loop works.

When you maxed your ship you still do the loop. You still use the Monaveen to get RSS where you have to grind the Hostile/Armada loot. You still wanna get more Artifacts from Voyager after you maxed it.

Before this update a loop was only finished when you had no more value from it. See Botany Bay or Franklin where the Rewards for still doing the loop are non-existent for even G4 players.

So a Loop gives value so you continue to do it.

Yes you need to max the ship because scopely cant give you everything at T1 then why put out content for people to engage in.

The Archive is an awesome feature. It gives help over time in form of Parts Reduction for the ship, loot boost and so on. Once you maxed the ship you really eliminate the loop by getting just a claim option to replace the refinery.

And for the too many currencies and too much €€€. Its Day 2!! What did you expect get everything for free day 1? Think lets say 100 days later. You got the Building at your ops and have slowly unlocked all the current Archives. Then Scopely adds for example the Vindicator there. You just unlocked it and now you get help to make your journey with the ship easier and at the end when you max it the loop is really done.

btw. there are still Parts because some people build 2 or more Monaveens/Voyagers

[icy marsh]

its not "free day 1", its already been 2+ years for me to max out some of these ships. what they should've done is given people who've already maxed the ship some immediate benefit instead of waiting another 100 days to see the effect of mastery. i haven't counted exactly but isn't it going to take me almost 2/3 of a year to get mastery of all vidar/talios/monaveen/voyager? that's a heck of a long time when i've already maxed or nearly maxxed them out to see the benefit

[mellow fjord]

The building is new. Its day 2. Scopely wont put out something if they cant earn money from it. They are a business and want to make money.

I dont know how long it will take to get all of them. I know its 30days or so to get the monaveen one F2P.

But thats not the point. The point is get it to have unlock all current mastery. Have the building at your ops. Now they add NX-01 to it which you have maxed or at a higher tier. So you can instantly get most of the Pillars unlocked. Or a completely new ship where you grow the Pillars alongside your ship.

The concept is good and will make your life easier. And its not like the loop to get the Pillars/Building levels is overly complex. A Claim button which is under claim all in the gift section.

Sure it would have been nice to get them for free day1 when you have the ships maxed but its a Business so they need and should make money, In my opinion the Archive is (as of now) acceptable Monetization.

[novel nymph]

New bp is definitely scam, just calculated we will get definitely les mats.

[jaunty ingot]

Any chance of posting the BP event schedule please?

[fallow seal]

I feel like they changed their mind halfway through development. If I have a maxed voyager or monaveen bb etc, whey would I want ship parts to upgrade it further??
Update it so every unlocked tier in the archive starts giving more and more in the claim instead

[errant forum]

how bout a missing building that was built at end of q missions but doesnt show up. are you working on this issue.

[shadow trellis]

Is your app updated to current version

[proven sparrow]

Update your game

[errant forum]

game doesnt show update available

Open App Store > press your profile picture at the top right > press on screen <Hold> and drag it downwards to refresh> Scroll down slightly and press update all

[true radish]

Would like to see amalgam added to archives building.

[shut geode]

great when you are in G2 and G3 - when you are in G4/G5/G6 totally not worth your time, last time I did BB stuff was 4,5 years ago. And the rewards are very bad, for tier up I need 25K . so yeah. Not event for my (G5 player)

[dark horizon]

having the Claim BB rewards in today's event when everyone claimed it yesterday is just a spit in the face

[barren pasture]

Everyone spent their stuff upgrading in the archive yesterday cause scopley didn't put out an event calendar. And even if they did it would probably be missing lol

[sand sky]

It was dressed up as time saving qol improvement, then the “time saving” element is locked behind yet another loop and half the ships ops locked so are years away from being of any use

[round flume]

<@&509690795536941056> How to get this Fragments =? Is there a Way in Game or not atm =????

[full swan]

Will ask!

[orchid token]

hi, given the current event schedule there are no events listed for:

• artefacts/temporal artefacts
• "normal" forbidden tech (maybe they are combined with the new cloned forbidden tech, but its not written in teh schedule)
• specialty ship upgrades
• specialty building upgrades (just the archive, usually new building events were run with otehr specialty building events)
• Mu special research event
• wave defence pass not listed (i suppose it will launch next week?)
• SArris invasion not mentioned for this month
• given there were some AT fixes, will this event return?

can you pls check this with ops and have them to complete the events plan comprehensively? thanks

[royal fossil]

data mining event seems ok at higher ops (e.g. yarda open). for lower ops (ops 21 in my alt's case), it's miserable. 2500 data to be mined 31 at a time (25 node + bb pillar 1). stuff like this could make new players quit.

[willow coral]

Please add a scoring mechanic so we can complete this event by redeeming 1 chest of "botany bay max augment efficiency". TIA 🍻

[polar bobcat]

I didn't think it was possible, but it seems you didn't understand...
The point of this new building is to reduce grinding loops to max out your ships. They help you do this by giving those specialized ship parts as a daily reward. The PROBLEM is, you have to max the ship out before you get a daily reward.... so what am I going to use monaveen ship parts for when it's maxed out?? To get daily rewards (ie- reducing loops), you have to first eliminate the need for that specific loop? Doesn't make sense. To get any daily rewards that help eliminate grind, you have to max out the ship (tier 12). With ops locks on almost all of these ships, only the wallet warriors will see any real help from this building. Interesting try, but this update is a total miss for me.
Oh, and the number of new currencies is currently at 7 new currencies. Neat...

[languid ice]

If the event is asking player to defeat “El-Aurian” hostiles, it would be good if the hostiles were actually labelled as such.

[willow coral]

or if the event card description had a hostile system hyperlink or... the enemy hostile galaxy marker flags

[mellow fjord]

Ops51 is F2P possible. At that point you can max Monaveen and Voyager. So nothing to do with wallet warrior

The Pillars provide help to max the ships easier by providing efficiency for their specific ship parts. So faster to max.

When you maxed the Ship then you have now finished the loop and get a daily claim which gives you all the loot from the refinery. Like RSS and Mats in Monaveen or Artifacts in Voyager refinery.

You still get Parts for those ships at max because there are some people who want multiple.

THE DAILY CLAIM REPLACES THE REFINERY!!!!

It reduces clicks in refinery when you are done with the loop.

Chaos Tech and Archives are not related so it’s 2 new currencies to reduce grind. 1 for building and 1 for the pillars.

[stuck harbor]

can someone tell me how a lvl 19 is supposed to defeat this hostile?

[short pier]

Any particular reason there's only 1 mat spend/recruit SLB this month? We used to get 3, then it was 2... Now only 1??

[willow coral]

Great way to teach new players about the game. These are materials not resources ! 🙈 Maybe also include 1 x hyperlink location for each, so many ask where do i find "xyz"? Either that or mention https://stfc.space/systems/ then they can learn about that aswell

[willow coral]

preview is slighty inaccurate.... [day 4] in a good way 🙂

same with this preview [day5]

[small narwhal]

Isn’t it a daily claim?

[sly path]

Does this mean that I will never have to mine Data again once it's maxed? That Augment credits disappear and neither Data nor Credits are required to pull maximum of everything?

[small narwhal]

Augment credits don’t disappear, you’ll get them in that claim, since there’s other stuff you can buy with them (one time stuff like the avatars or missions iirc), but the need to mine data to get credits will end.

[sly path]

So there will still be an Augment store, but with just the Avatar and missions in it? Sorry, it's so confusing to be honest and they didn't give enough clarity for me to feel good about this in the patch notes, so I appreciate you helping me to understand.

[small narwhal]

Yes, for the augment store, most of the items will be removed since the corresponding claims will be part of the bundle, but those one time things will be left. I believe the monaveen refinery becomes completely empty once you complete that one.

[crisp patio]

hint: the answer is in the patch notes
you have to get excess fragments of a chaos tech to get them.

[storm mica]

Dear arc runner, please explain us why we should bother with these events, when the rewards are not what people want (no rare ship parts!) but we also get x times more daily from pulls?

[round flume]

And where to find them 😅 ?
Thats the matter 😅😅

[restive root]

Q: in the new Event

All scores between Ranks 4 to 12 have the same amount of Points. Why Re there some up and some down? There are significant differences in rewards

[coral bane]

Is this ‘as intended’?

[vagrant topaz]

They should have just put buy this pack and win lmao 😂

[tacit dawn]

The hirogen hunt event is too tine consuming... in the high level systems they rarely spawn, and the high level DQ systems are not reachable...

[solid tangle]

Hunt elites in Ini'tarash and the systems near it. I killed 10 of them and finished.

We've had klingons yesterday!

[tacit dawn]

To complete the event I need 711k points. That's over 150 level 38 elite hirogen...

[proven sparrow]

yeah but 1 high level and you're finished, and if you see no Hirogen in the system kill some lost to make space for the Hirogen to spawn

[tacit dawn]

Well, that's what I've been doing for the last 45min...

[proven sparrow]

What Ops are you and can you like me a screenshot of your event? 711k points and only able to kill level 38 Hirogen?
I'm ops 42 and i needed 39k to finish the event
it sounds to me your hitting Hirogen with voyager in DQ which is not what you want to do with the event.
You use your normal strongest ship and hit the highest system you can travel to in normal space
Any of these systems ⬇️

[tacit dawn]

I'm ops48, and I can reach level 44 systems in DQ space. The level 38 thing was in response to another reply (for comparison purposes). I finally finished the event killing level 52 hirogen; it took me 55min with 3 ships.

[proven sparrow]

At ops 48 you should be able to reach level 56 Hirogen Hostiles in them systems 1 kill is 514k points I 5 warp away from that system and I cant access the warp range research

[midnight atlas]

Why not hit DQ hirogen for 5x points?

[proven sparrow]

Because the limitations on Voyagers warp distance means you have to hit low-level DQ Hirogen.
My maxed (like everyone else) Ops locked T7 Voyager can only reach level 40 Hirogen even with the x4 bonus hitting a L40 DQ is 233x4 points.
Its a long grind compared to hitting a single High level in normal space and finishing the event in 1 hit

[honest pond]

have maxed t7 voyager as well, few mins of hitting lvl47 hirogens and done...seems you miss lot of research

[proven sparrow]

🙄 Ops locked...

[fresh frost]

I'm hitting 39s with my ops 39 and T2 voyager .. Are you using a kehra or something?

[fresh frost]

T7 voyager has warp 70 base, plus the 175 from the research and 10 or 15 from enhanced Warp cores... You should absolutely be able to hit w200 and further?

[proven sparrow]

❓

[fresh frost]

Tried ghrush?

[proven sparrow]

Ah i see. The point I was making to @tacit dawn was you are better off ignoring DQ Hirogen farming with Voyager and Kill a single Normal Hirogen with the strongest ship available and completing the event in 30 seconds . He was saying it is taking to long to kill DQ Hirogen with Voyager to complete the event as you can only hit low level Hirogen and the 4x bonus does not make up for the points

[fresh frost]

Interesting, suggests the scoring goes skwiffy at some point vs what you can reach. Think it was 16 hostiles in the end for me 😅

[tacit dawn]

To be precise, I wasted a lot of time with 3 ships in 3 different systems (Voyager in DQ space, Newton and Kelvin in regular space). After I brought them all to one system, it did go faster. However, it still took me way more than 30s since I had to kill a bunch of level 52/53 hirogen to complete the event (and kill a lot of lost hostiles in between).
My brother, who is ops 39, was also done in less than 3min. So, yes, I do believe these events do not scale properly.

[stone pelican]

This arcs events are weak. The rewards make me feel like they ran out of chairs at the thanksgiving table and I have to sit at the kids table. Last arc they were FIRE! 🔥
The amount of events, the rewards from events and the LBs were the best I’ve seen in a very long time. Was a nice treat 🍭
This arc is like trying to light a wet fire cracker 💦🧨
I hope it gets better

[icy marsh]

the events in this arc are awful. who the heck decided to plan out the activities like this? you created an arc to allow us to not have to do old stuff and then force us to do them for the weeks before we can stop! today we got hirogen, eclipse, cardy, and el-aurian. absolutely no synergy and we can't even use the same ships and crewing for them. this is an awful arc design

[sharp abyss]

This arc=Big Yawn

[neon terrace]

I like it. Finally an arc, where most events are SMS. Last two month were full of time consuming SLBs. Even the new features don't ask my time really. A month where we can rest a bit. Also independent building is great. Only 1 thing I miss and that is alliance tournament.

[lapis crag]

Thank you for going the direction of Choice Rewards in the battle pass. Very happy with being able to focus on what's in front of me/is a priority. Do hope we see this in every battle pass.

[stone pelican]

I enjoy the Leaderboards. Nice way to get some amazing rewards. Now I log on, finish the events in 2-5minutes and there’s no reason for me to be in the game for the rest of the day. Pretty boring.

[copper shadow]

ya that sounds like it sux butters to be able to come into a game and leisurely play it like mobile games are meant to be played but now you have to find something to do in reality that must really blow huh. This is meant as a joke and not a dig at you btw and i hope you take it as it was meant

[novel mango]

Anyone know if they are handing out event store credits with rare tickets this arc?

[lapis crag]

Missing the treasury, have become accustomed to having one the first week. Hopefully it kicks off this weekend?

[obsidian ether]

Change ticketed domination event of building buildings (and research) to get score from something else as well. Some players are ops locked and have nothing to build. Any player that have nothing to build or nothing more to build simply can't participate, which means they can't finish meta event either.

[lapis crag]

My ticketed event still has research listed

[obsidian ether]

you run out of research faster than out of buildings, if you play slowly and don't rush ops. But yes, I forgot to mention research & buildings

[untold zephyr]

why are the only loot you get from Q's Modest challenge the parsteel ore ones.
Change it out for crystal or gas sometimes.

[atomic fossil]

please change the talios graphics for the vidar, if vidar is truly the intended ship across all the brackets. the ingame event descriptions/calendar indicated talios. continuity would be appreciated. thank you for linking the system in the event bucket, tho!! i love that.

[spice aurora]

Pvp event. Across the galaxy. Should have been. Slb. To easy

[rough ravine]

Thank GOD it is not a galaxy wide SLB, Lol. Would be a day of pure murder and mayhem and wouldn't be able to do anyting. Then again, maybe that would be fun, Lol.

😻Thanks for letting traitXP score on both away team events 🍻

[teal wharf]

Nexus Event ;What a mechanism is this ?

Same points.. but lower Place and less rewards.
Think this is Not ok, bc the Event Description says: do points and win rewards .. but so ..

This is deliberate misleading

The Ingame Support help/faq doesn‘t help. It is said that there are more Factors which influences the Ranking. But there is no hint given which ones.

This is very opaque

[uncut sentinel]

I am guessing none of the Scopely people like @full swan or @icy cairn has commented on this one.

[willow coral]

#🌌-galaxy-chat message not but the Scopely arc runner /manager did

Really enjoyed doing this and the structure behind this. Whoever designed/coded & implemented this, seriously knocked the ball out of the park ! 😻 😻 😻 😻
Please could this format be used again for more multi-day events? 🤔

[grand fulcrum]

@full swan they gave chaosmatter from events but forbidden tech catalysts so I have a bunch of chaosmatter I cant use because no catalysts

[terse oyster]

There is no Exo, add it and I'll purchase it, thank you

[blissful ivy]

Couldn't agree more. This battle pass is a great step in the right direction. Well done.

[pseudo fiber]

<@&509690795536941056> The new mission Decisions Decisions mission set is not working as intended. I was presented with two storylines for the Devora moon mission. Chose this as 1st mission and completed moon pull to stable orbit. Then chose second mission as AV356, but got sent back to Devora with a different mission, then sent to AV356. No rewards to collect for 2nd Devora mission. And never offered the option to complete the warplanet mission.

[oblique ridge]

@full swan @icy cairn When is everyone else getting this event and the Field Training expansion? It’s been, what, 3 months? No news is not good news - this is what we all mean when we talk about lack of communication not advance details of the upcoming arc, which spoils the fun..especially when there’s such a strong likelihood of failure to launch properly.

[dark horizon]

now that's an event I cannot wait to complete

[hallow patio]

Posted this a couple of days ago and got no response from CMs

[odd dock]

(heroic) sms 🤡

[left marlin]

Another month, another increase in the milestones for the Heroic Recruit SMS. Congrats Scopely, you just earned an ‘F’ for this whole month’s calendar. And I will continue to grade it as such until you at least pause these ridiculous and continuous milestone increases for the Heroic Recruit SMSs 🤦‍♂️👎

[boreal coyote]

I'm virtually a maxed 48. If i push to ops 50. I barley hit /tier 3 on the sms. Auctions are hard now..... Its 238.7K RARE mats for me to finish all 4 Tiers 😐

[odd dock]

scopely so dumbo, they dont factor in the number of speedups you need to spend in order to jump 2+ ops levels and build 5 new ships for that milestone track ... and its only half an officer ... 1/2 of 1/3 of a team, which is 1/3 of a pvp triangle ... isnt that like 1/18?

elon musk plays diablo, not stfc

[woven tulip]

Easy rewards, but where is the creativity ? Scopely running out of event ideas?

[odd dock]

dont ever complain about event synergy! lol

[woven tulip]

if their is nothing to do in the game why play? Events help change the same daily routine, without events game gets boring.

[willow coral]

😻 loving the sync'd/married events. Thanks scopely 😻 🍷 🍻

[static spade]

It's not sync for ops 39 and below

[shadow ermine]

plz gib 2nd officer auction for this arc

[static spade]

In what sense a 2nd auction or 2 officers in 1 auction? Without fail every week of an Arc is a SLB for an officer. When there is X2 officers up for grabs these are often not SLBs but instead XSLB which is harder to get rank 1 due to the vast amount of competition

[shadow ermine]

There is only one officer event on the calendar this time, so I'm wondering whether another officer event might even have the current one. It's not easy to get them the first time around even with the SMS

[static spade]

Do the words "Subject to Change" mean anything to you ? Think of the calendar as a prediction of what's coming not a guarantee. Not every event is listed just take BP event for example that's never listed

Also the Q officers are all worthless, best saving your mats for better officers.

[woven tulip]

🤔 cannot rem but pretty sure, each SLB on weekends is for another officer not the same officer every week

[oblique ridge]

During the battlepass, normally weekend one and weekend two are both for the new epic officer. Weekend three is then the same or an XSLB for a different officer, usually as part of Incursions Prep

[woven tulip]

Meh i ignore them all so wouldnt no 😄 i only do the Hugh ones

[oblique ridge]

You’re going to regret that later 😅

[woven tulip]

why would i want Q? or Q? or Q? none of those have value

[oblique ridge]

You said you only do the events for Hugh so we weren’t talking about just this month’s officers. It’s relatively easy to unlock officers during the month in which they’re launched. Later sourcing is a drip feed at best.

If you only go after the PvE officers, you’re really damaging your progression. The game forces us to do PvP whether we like it or not 😅

[manic estuary]

I think being able to choose rss reward is terrific!

[woven tulip]

PvP has zero rewards. PvE is the main thing in this game, and Hugh is one of the most sort out officers players want. He have tons of PvP officers most use the same crew forever I still use ST on BS. It beats Freeman crew many times.

Every Hugh SLB and XSLB I took part in I was always rank 1. My Hugh is Close to maxing

Any SLB with PvP officer is 💯 guarantee I will ignore

[plucky glacier]

The change in the battle pass letting us choose what rewards we want is excellent!

[solar ravine]

We miss the armada on top left side

@near saddle

[hollow lichen]

not sure if 7 (SEVEN) heroic SMS is enough, can we add a few more please? ....

[strong ether]

@full swan Told you earlier that they messed up the avatars again.... The French Q is in BP and in the officer heroic event. Elite Battlepass is meant to have Military Q avatar! Not to mention the ones that the never released last month for those officers. Talked to support, discord mod. and CM still was ignored by all three. At the very least get the little simple things right please.

[covert zephyr]

Another week, another attempt at arena. why does it continue to make sense to pit G5 players against G6. It's no different than putting G5 rares against G5 epics. Why do the people implementing these brackets think it's enjoyable?

[inland goblet]

8 (!!!) heroic SMS'?
Who are you counting on? On Hercules?
Then where are the other 4?

[covert zephyr]

What effort is there in this. not even pvp crews involved. can't even scratch it

[sand sky]

The best qol improvement would be to group all the heroic events together so it doesn’t take 10 minutes to find doable events ever time

[late siren]

Arena matchmaking will never work because it will always come down to the biggest ship wins. Today 60,56,56 v 62,56,50 . Result easy win for the latter as the G6 ships just crush everyone. This aspect of arenas hadn’t changed since inception

[neon terrace]

Thanks for forcing players to play PvP event, just to get a totally PvE ship. AND when that event also a piece of %#%@, it makes that even worse. Played now 7 matches. I saw only 2 players below 60, but 5 players over 66. This event is SO FUN! That Vindicator can rot in that faction store. I will wait a year or more to have it in an event store.

[violet geyser]

congratulations scopely, another failed arena, keep it up and get the oscar for trash games 🤣🤣

[echo cedar]

@full swan Are all servers supposed to get ISS Jellyfish Persuit? 703 has never had the event.

[viscid thorn]

@full swan I think scoply has to rethink the event layout. 6 pay only events clutter up the overview. And i feel like im checking them every two days again if i havent overlooked a SMS. I have nothing against pay events, but maybe group them together

[cerulean root]

So fun to fight against this kind of p2w in arena 😄

[radiant solstice]

And maybe dynamically sort them. Move completed events to the back, keep recently scored (i.e. actively participating in) events near the front. Use tabs like in the store to quickly find paid/free/battlepass themed/daily events. Then sort by remaining run time, so we can prioritise something ending in 2 hours over something that has 10 days to go.

[tawny cloud]

Yeah, no time for Arena. 👎🏼

[formal musk]

There are currently NINE cash-only events listed. Please folder these together to reduce clutter on the events tab.

[true ledge]

They did at one point but I guess it makes more to shove them in your face

[formal latch]

First time I noticed an event offering the same exact rewards whether you come in first or second. Does this happen regularly or am I special? Reloaded the client, just in case it was being special.
