[woven tulip]

old daily events where impossible to complete every day, nothing has changed.

[short pier]

The old dailies were all trivially easy except the station ones simply because there aren't enough buildings to do them every day. They also didn't compete with much better events for resources, and they weren't part of a larger meta that required you to do 70% of them.

[sterile yew]

<@&509690795536941056> This. I love this idea!

[proven sparrow]

I am a little confused. I have been waiting with my ships because I did not know how horrid this event would be but I see nothing

[static spade]

How do you mean? It's the exact same event it is every Saturday. Only difference now is they updated the cosmic store

[sharp thistle]

Outside of the Defiant and Meridian being added, is this the only change to the Battle Debris store? If so what's the point for most players? I'm 56 ops and have no use for g4 uc parts, rare parts I could do with them sure, but g4 uc parts are a waste of time

[woven tulip]

for high ops it has zero value, this one is still the only one high ops will end up getting

[fervent meteor]

<@&509690795536941056> NEW cosmic cleanup :
1st, really nice that they at least tried to improve this old and dated event.
2nd, Theynreally, REALLY need to listen the suggestions the community presents, cause with the add of a very fill UC ship parts, it still an irrelevant event.....Players over lv 42 really don't care for Frank parts, Dvors, and the Defiant worrst parts are the rares, and none was added.

AS a suggestion, in line with this attempt to improve old events, the reward could follow the players levels, that would make this a little more enjoyable...
Ships blueprints also need to be re evalueted, cause all lvs 42+ have all that ships unlocked, so the BPs are useless...
AS a suggestion, they could add the new shipsmto the list, such as the Cube, NSEA, Eviscerator, Revenant.,...may help a lot ......Also, can think about a little set of faction ships, so more players would care to make the event.
Thanks and send my congrattz to the team for at least try to make the game fun again.

[compact ether]

Does Cosmic Cleanup not earn points toward Ahead of the Curve? I got zero from it. <@&509690795536941056>

[sharp thistle]

Even then people only do that one for the rare chance of armada directives. Battle Debris even "improved" is a complete joke for a lot of players, especially once you get to high 40 ops, can't think of anyone who needs/wants the Frequency Mods for Franklin, or D'Vor parts, the amount of Charged Nanoprobes is FAR to low, same as Spore Drive compnents, they will be pointless to get. What's the point in updating it to be more useful, then forgetting to add anything useful? At least put in the chance for G4/5 rare parts, why can't you get the rare Defiant parts either?

[queen kindle]

Check the event descriptions for the ones that include a note indicating they count for that meta event.

[lament delta]

Same 0 pts for meta. Djz had said it was supposed to count as a weekly.

[compact ether]

My point is that if Saturday doesn’t have a weekly event that earns 300 points towards the meta, finishing it is going to take a lot more work and expense finishing the other daily events and SLBs throughout the week. You need an average of 450 points a day to complete the meta.

[lethal moss]

I love having to kill 270 of these new hostiles to complete a non heroic sms event…. Great planning $copley

[upper flame]

2 Days Battlepassevent for 15k ?

[shy spindle]

That's kinda nice that the Meridian/Debris were added to the Cosmic Event. Wondering what might have changed their mind to do so since it was requested in the past more then once and not done at all.

[lethal moss]

Took them long enough to do it….

[unkempt mauve]

Today’s holiday event for event tokens is toast! It’s stuck in retrieving mode. Unable to get it working on PC or phone.

[thick owl]

Can someone explain how an ops 23 account is supposed to do the Borg Probe event? There is NO option for scoring from lower level non Borg Hostiles, unlike previous similar events.

[daring smelt]

Nice that scopely still has that kut event killling Q hostiles. Thx a lot for not listening to complaints.

[short pier]

Really curious what ops you are that you can't complete that even with 2 whole days to do it? I'm ops 42 and had zero issue the first time around. Not a whale, just have a maxed ent and janeway/torres/kirk and it was no problem.

[daring smelt]

In a overcrowded laggy system. No way kut event

[copper helm]

Exactly, went from difficult but certainly doable for f2p/low spenders, to virtually impossible, at least on a server that is well populated and has consistently busy slbs

[stoic linden]

I have the same, what do I even do with it?

[vast goblet]

Then you do t1 to find T2 is double t1 so you need 150% more mats spend than 2 separate SMS

3 times the points of 2 SMS

[jaunty ingot]

With the daily event rotation, are you completly removing Recruitment and Officer XP events?

[molten marlin]

currently the recruit, ship xp and officer xp are gone

[fallow swan]

Their is inconsistency with their own blog post as counting towards the meta for both cosmic cleanup and swarm sunday

[molten marlin]

it's been raised

[calm niche]

I gave it a few days but these new mini dailies are 💩. Bring back my lat, rss, & materials.

[keen plank]

i came to somehow befriend the material spend mini events.
(yes, its a g4 perspective and g3 have an absolute overabundance of rare materials and dislike that option)

especially those where you are technically able to spend the same material as you get,

for example, while spending about 10k uncommon g4 crystal i recieve:
13 B trit
9 B trit in tokens
2200 UC crystal
620 Rare crystal
110 Epic crystal
so in a way i can convert 7.8k uncommon crystal into 620 rare and 110 epic crystal.

still dislike the missing ultra recruit tokens...

[sterile yew]

Oh I heard it was 5% less than the first go around

[dawn sedge]

I only have one like that (ops 27)

[small narwhal]

It’s 5% cheaper on a per shard basis, but it gives twice as many shards.

[turbid coyote]

i’ve gone up an ops level since it started, done multiple level one researches and favours and been smashing out other research too… this event needs rethinking

[copper shadow]

ya its meant as a do 35 freshly new step 1 researches a day and up an entire ops lv of all buildings per day. No matter what math they try to tell you its meant to frustrate ev1 except those spending 1k-5k a month just to win events. Also dont forget that event is going to be happening every month going forward according to the Q@A they had the other day so it's not an event to even bother trying cause you'll do it once and then prolly not ever again

[neat condor]

Cosmic Cleanup and Swarm Sunday need to count for the meta event, especially if the dailies continue to be things that can't be done daily

[craggy elm]

This ain't just bad design - it's business as usual.

Buy 5 ships a year,
2 Battle Passes
a Wave Pass a Month
and a extra territory Pass every 90 days

and after all that you still get these crap Events with crap rewards, lots of Bugs and forced time wasting repetitive grinds - especially in waves or Arena.

I stopped playing recently and it was the best decision - the good times are long gone and it will only get worse.

[turbid coyote]

i quit for a solid 6 months, i was freeeeeee, stuff like this does make me wonder why i came back 🤦‍♀️

[craggy elm]

Officers sourcing is also a disaster right now and getting pushed into non-planable "spend all you got" events made it easy for me.

They just took the fun out of the game.

[fluid gust]

i think you're underestimating badly here.

takes about 250-500 G5 level 1 research nodes to complete.
5.000 of any other level G5 research nodes.
4.300 G5 defence platform levels.
4.000-8.000 other G5 building levels.
or 2.150 G5 ops levels.

wait, did my math wrong on your estimate.
35 level 1 G5 researches a day could do it, if there were enough to do that for more than... half a day.

[copper shadow]

oh i purposely estimated lower than it prolly takes to signify just what you said its possible maybe depending on how far along the individual is along the research trees. Say they did it this month for example you ain't doing it anytime soon unless you jump up 4-6 op ranges for newer research. Then its same thing next month the whole thing is made to get everyone up huge in ops huge in debt/packs for 1 officer pull of mats every 27days and 22 hours due to the cooldown of that officer receuit pull.

[lunar cloud]

New dialy events are 💩.
We want old events with resources and latinum back.

[wooden shore]

<@&509690795536941056> any word of the final 5 in the 6yr anniversary stories?

[modest glade]

How did yall make the event harder than it already was..

[sage falcon]

There's some kind of Officer event tomorrow. Waiting to see if it's recruit, xp, both, or neither (e.g., promote)

[sterile yew]

I upgraded all components on 3 different ships and got stuck at the lvl 50 lock before I could tier up 2 of the 3 and still didn't complete this ship parts one. That is a ton of components... Way to many parts. one or two modules should be all it takes to complete this event. Anything more is not sustainable.

[lapis crag]

I love it as well. I can time spending with dailies and all that throughout the rest of the arc. Very nice. I am ops61/aka baby g6 and even if pushing hard, will never be able to compete with high spend G6 with only 15 SLB awarding slots. The tiered SMS gives me a chance to get or at least get close to a full unlock which is very nice.

[halcyon goblet]

i've hoarded for a couple of weeks (10+) but i am struggling fulfilling the new BP-events and new daily events (e.g. just tiered up 2+ ships for a simple "ship update"-SMS, how are you suppose to get enough point for the meta event?) with my stockpile of resources, somehow i do have the impression your calculators are broken, all of them

[vagrant arrow]

Are these daily events permanently replacing the old ones or is it just for this arc?

I'm asking because they're terrible.

[hearty niche]

I agree Tony. Like I get they wanted to being something new but they are not sustainable or fun 😦
Maybe could we please have a mix of old and new as a compromise? 🙏🙏

[jaunty ingot]

Totally Agree. Its like every decision needs cost checked for profit by an accountant with fun being an after thought.
Games that do this in such things in quick sucession tend to be put down as they have plateaued tend do do these things (put spending resources/rushing levels) just prior to a caretaker team being moved in to keep it running while profitable and the devs moved to more lucrative/new products.

I really hope this is not the case.

[sterile yew]

They are replaced it took me 3 full ships upgrading every component and 3 additional ones just finishing off half the components. I am ops 49 and now I get no lay from events so I'm also stuck at ops 49 until I have enough broken desealing rods to get my free treasury. I don't have enough ships to keep doing this ship part event

[copper shadow]

oh thats easy with tried and true practice perfected over 6 yrs of doing it already

[queen hearth]

new dailies still suck.

[rich bough]

The game has trash prizes lol they use to be good lol love the greed

[oak sand]

I could get used to this as a new normal. 2 weeks to finish the event, and 3x the shards are available. No hurry to finish in 2 days.

[runic meadow]

Come on guys and gurls, you gotta be more positive in saying the game is 💩 or the message don’t get back to the overlords.

[dark horizon]

its still grindy,. they "fixed it" by forcing you to do it over 2 days span rather than only one

what i have done ... is bring 4+ ships in the 38 system and farm those instead of going for the higher ones ... it gets tricky if many people are farming those, but the score for 2x 38 kills is higher than 1x 40, and with 4-5 ships it goes way faster in terms of time spent in game

[proven sparrow]

@clear needle / @clear cape
Another Borg Type 03 Solo Armada Event?
Its not been a week yet. we still don't have directives 🤔

[torn plinth]

check your gifts

[short pier]

What level are you? I'm 42 and my Ent with Janeway/Torres/Kirk can do the event by killing 40s in 2 runs. I am confused with the struggle so many are having with this event.

So uh what's up with the BP event being 2 days long?

[hollow sundial]

Did we just get the wrong gift? We got starts for TEAM Borg Poligon Armadas, 2 starts. THe event required Borg Type 03 Solo armadas...
Just wondering. Or is it again the Heroic event which necessarily requires in-game purchase.

[lavish hornet]

Was the same for me playing on PC. I repaired the game and now it is only 1 day long. Maybe try the same

[short pier]

Well as far as I can tell it's still the same event from yesterday? So even if it's "only 1 day" it's already been up to a day

[ocean crypt]

you need to define rare skill points, because you have different rare skill points and not all work for scoring

[proven sparrow]

its quite easy at 42, its the target you need to kill at higher levels killing 40's dont cut it for them. they need to hit higher to score any real points but they cant kill them

[dark horizon]

This is purely on time spent, and additionally RSS spent on repairs. For 284.24k pts I need, with an average of 10s/kill (battle dance + travel if lucky and the closest red is not killed by someone else):

• killing 38s, i need 363 kills which ~ 60 minutes - do it with 4 ships = 15 minutes ( none of the ships will get destroyed by the end so there is not a high resource cost to repair)
• killing 40s, i need 244 kills which ~ 40 minutes - probably have 2 ships that can consistently be used without repairing too often) so thats about 20 minutes (both ships would need to be repaired multiple times for quite a bit/repair + speedups) - this also adds travel time from station to system
• killing 42s, i need 150 kills which ~ 25 minutes on one single ship that has the power for it, getting destroyed even more that on 40s (adds up to way more than this event is worth spending in RSS on)

Hence why I mentioned going for 38s with multiple ships is probably the most effective path (for me).
YMMV

[short pier]

What level are you?

[south tundra]

Just went to lvl 50 and missing the swarm Sunday events looks like they were replaced with a NESA event but I don't have the NESA boat lol

[molten marlin]

you don't need the nsea,

just like you didn't need the franklin for swarm sunday

[polar bobcat]

Anyone else remember when SMS events almost always had 5 officer shards in the final milestone? All ticketed events had 5 officer shards at one point.

Those were the days.... 'member?

[jagged cypress]

30m is way too long to spend in MU event.....

[remote badge]

I don’t necessarily remember 5 shards in the last milestone, but I do remember there being at least 2 up until some point in 2023…

I also remember there being event currency in them 🤣

[full tusk]

I remember just last week when there was a path to speedups and lat in the daily quests instead of just trying to milk us dry

[verbal wyvern]

We need more SMS events for event store currency. Seems like most of the currency events are paywalled.

[limpid galleon]

bring back epic recruit tokens in daily events, they're nearly unaccassable now with this stupid change.

[indigo lily]

OPS 49 here. They lowered the amount of points needed or raised the per kill. I only had to kill 58 of the level 44s this time instead of 144 of the level 44s on Friday (or whenever it was). It’s less than one hull for me to get those kills.

You’re ops levels above me, you should be able to go for 93 of the level 44s?

--- "killing 42s, i need 150 kills which ~ 25 minutes on one single ship that has the power for it, getting destroyed even more that on 40s (adds up to way more than this event is worth spending in RSS on)"

You might be seriously behind on research, or possibly not crewing well? If you have the officers, try: Janeway, Lorca, Chang - Paris, Boimler, Hugh, PICHugh, Chapel.

[dark horizon]

Event store is pretty dry too. Last arc there were FCs in there as well, which are missing now. Honestly, there is not much to want from the current store, at least for me.

[dark horizon]

Ops 50. I may be a bit behind on researches, but I have pushed on them every time it made sense. I also have not tried that crew, I will give it a try just to see.

[indigo lily]

Just trying to brainstorm where the power is missing from you being able to hit bigger. I have some of the favors and artifacts, but nowhere near the level that paid people have. Also could be fleet commanders too? I don't mess with mine too much so I don't know if they're the factor tipping the balance in my favor. -- At our levels I'm starting to lean heavier into crew composition over other things. Skills are very powerful even with T1 officers.

[light canyon]

Removing swarm event sucks, now the only time I ever used the Franklin and Franklin-A is gone so where is the indent e for bringing it out to work on upgrading it? I relied on that event for the Franklin. Nobody was asking for events to be changed just wanted the rewards changed and increased is all. But of course scopley never really listens to those who actually play the game they perfer to listen only to those who buy everything like mindless sheep.

[late dew]

not understanding the spamming of artifact and commander events.. these are things that i could probably keep up with upgrades for once a week.. maybe once every 2 weeks.. how are we expected to finish these events daily, and they are required to finish the meta event..

[novel nexus]

Not possible, lost 4 armada token on the 3.2. Wait since 4 days on feedback from support but nothing happened.
But I am happy that so many players support you scoply.
Many thanks

[neon terrace]

Conspiracy here: in this month we got "hard to complete daily events" which empty our stocks. Next month we will get the easier events "thanks to our feedback". This all planned to empty our stock in this trial month.

[ionic glade]

This is one decent change they have made from a flurry of poor decisions this month. Swarm event was a pita. Who wants to kill 75 swarms each week for no reason? Mirror event actually is stuff you will use daily. And they gifted the officer shards which was good.

They have made alot of poor decisions this month but this is one of the better ones

[graceful briar]

Yeah, makes no sense to have a 4 day rotation on Fleet commander and artifact upgrades. You barely accumulate anything in that time. And the removal of the recruit, officer xp, and ship leveling events is just… asinine.

[wanton summit]

The point is to drive you to buy packs because of FOMO. Honestly, the officer selection in the Admiral token pull this month doesn't warrant it. I just ignore the dailies completely now. I actually used to look an engage for mats and ultra tokens.

[robust bobcat]

While i am Not Sure how Deep your Funding is to New Ship... 3.0 = Evolution 1 | 3.1 = Evolution 2 & 3 | 3.2 = Evolution 4 ( our Resident OPS 70 <ranked 7th on stfc.wtf> still has to Fully Buff to take the Solo>)

[quartz wind]

I'm still confused by the decision to change the build events. The current setup incentivises players to level up much slower which seems counterproductive to what Scopely wants. Surely they want people rushing to higher ops to then invest in shiny new ships?

Old Build events:
Multiple events a week based on power requiring you to finish multiple buildings until you inevitably run out and need to rush the remainder of your build time on Operations

New Build events:
One event a month to either Upgrade Operations, or Upgrade Academy+R&D+Shipyard. Doing Operations AND the other buildings is just a waste of points so you are incentivised here to only go up one Operation level every 2 months and only ever build 1 building a day at most to just keep your daily task ticking over

The 'spend UC/Rare' event is mostly irrelevent since a good chunk of buildings don't use them and the event is most often going to be completed with research rather than buildings

[junior juniper]

please add a multiplier for all species 8472 for all voyager events.. like x5. Add a multiplier (flat/ish) for using the summon (some of us kill cubes instead of 8472). Also, the Astrometrics Scan points is kinda a jokoe. you get 500 for a 150k+ point event every 30 minutes..

[grizzled owl]

The swarm event is still there for me.

[ionic glade]

ops 45+ to get new one

[misty burrow]

Last week the rewards at lvl 42 for swarm Sunday gave 80 4* rare crystal for completing both events. Why was that removed?

[misty burrow]

Rare ticket rewards do not contain any event store currency this month?

[alpine topaz]

What? You mean the 60 in the daily chests isn't enough for you?

[ivory canopy]

Great material update on Latinum Rush. But G3 needs D'vor parts in their Latinum Rush SMS. More materials is great. But G3 needs the parts more.

[ocean crypt]

it's about time you added omega dust into the mirror dust events

[manic crest]

Is it a good update lol, g6 on slb and alb has nothing 😂

[ivory canopy]

I'm referring to the SMS but yes. It's way better. SMS top milestone, old VS new.

This is for ops 33. Way better but doesn't address the of the D'vor taking 2 years to max without getting parts from event stores or the SLB.

[sterile yew]

So zero event store currency in any ticket events????? Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. There goes this months preparation. I wish you would tell us before you change a meta that deals with something so pivital as event store currency.. The only reason I did the rare tickets at all was for event store loot.

[west veldt]

So event currency is at an all time low and they dont even bother to put them in the rare ticket events anymore. When are we gonna see more events for currency?
Thanks scopley for keeping the f2p down and kicking them while they are down there.

[sterile yew]

How am I ops 49 and in my mining ALB there is not 4* rare currency? I have hundreds of thousands of uncommon. Don't need more. Mining monday is still a pass for me.

[civic vine]

<@&509690795536941056> it's great that sms, slb & alb rewards have been significantly improved and are appropriate for the ops level for most players however G6 players are not getting ANY 6* materials in ALB rewards. Why is this?

[molten ridge]

No event store tokens for rare tickets, huh?

[old mason]

Sad they removed event store currency for the rare tickets. With the very low drip on event store currency, if you didn’t but the new ship, I expected it to be there. Guess I’m not doing uncommon tickets next week. Then with my luck it’ll reappear.

[rough ravine]

@queen kindle Thank you for adding the BP event schedule to your BP 'running points' message. Much appreciated!

[jagged current]

Boo! No event loot in the regular is bad enough, but none in the rare is just being cheap. Not that there is much of anything in the store to start with. Scgroogley

[pale oak]

Omega dust should also be included in scoring for mirror dust events

[manic crest]

As a g6 player, the event has not gotten better. Happy for g3.. very cool. But again, I'm referring to g6 payout. It has not gotten better and with no g6 in slb/alb. It has gotten worse

[opaque hawk]

@full swan while already on track to be a crappy event store loot month, yall remove them from rare tickets again?

[full swan]

Looking into the rare tickets, and there will be more additions to the event store as we get closer to the holidays.

[old mason]

Can you let us know if you are putting it back into rare before the weekend please? Otherwise people might skip the uncommon ticket events and feel really burned if currency then appears in rare next week.

[half flare]

I know what you mean here, but it doesn’t say I have to use my own revenant to defeat it. My alliance-mate’s revenant should count for me too based on how the event is worded.

[ionic glade]

More stuff in event store will be great but you'll need to open the gates on the tokens a bit this is on course to be lowest event currency totals ever

[late orchid]

Didnt scopley say they were making mining Monday rewards relevant? Am I missing something or was that not turned on?

[novel mango]

No event store credit with tickets or rare tickets…..lame.

[full swan]

Hearing that ESC and options in the event store will be increasing as we get closer to the holidays.

[full tusk]

lol someone spent 1.3 million for 1300 galactic recruit tokens already on this fleet commander SLB , proof some people dont look at the rewards at all

[latent lagoon]

why do they insist on running arenas on mining monday. move it to another day so i dont have to keep resetting my miners

[full tusk]

1.3 million would complete the new SMS 48 times , i dont think 1300 recruit tokens is worth 48 SMS completions

[novel mango]

It gets worse each time.

[boreal coyote]

Rank 1and 2 = nope

[crisp patio]

Increasing from where we are to something that even remotely resembles a traditional Dec event store isn't going to happen. While you "hearing" that this slap in the face to players will maybe possibly get better is great and all, there is zero chance it will get better enough. Between the 15+ minutes of clicking every morning and the gutting of in game rewards there is just less and less reason to expect any improvement and less reason to stick around as my alliance becomes a ghost town.
I say this as someone who loves the game - fix it please.

[torpid marten]

When someone from scopely says the words, Increase, Balance, Improve, They scare me, I start to imagine the worst

[boreal coyote]

I’m running out of lat, I’m running out of speed ups , I’m running out of ship parts, , I’m running out of ft upgrades , I’m running out of mats , I’m running out of reasons to keep putting up with this experiment.

[left marlin]

Arena scheduling has to change. This is getting ridiculous. I enjoy PvP. I want to engage in this mechanic. But this one 8hr window combined with rl makes it so that I can barely get a handful of matches in. And doubly frustrating is that you decided to lock bps for a PvE ship (Vindicator), that while is largely useless but has an important refinery, behind a PvP mechanic, with very limited access. Illogical would be an understatement. So either expand access to Arenas, schedule wise or being able to form a squad w/ non-Alliance mates, something. Or plz give us another way to source Vindicator bps f2p, thx 🖖

[woven tulip]

only 1.3? 😄

[upbeat spruce]

arenas running like 💩 on 89.. ships aren't moving, armada circles staying on screen. happening for people on pc and mobile

[waxen heath]

When they say, "Quality over Quantity" is when I get scared

[half flare]

First you take event store currency out of the regular ticketed events, and now you take it out of the rare ticketed events? I used to use these to get officers to t2 or t3. Now I’ll be lucky just to unlock them all.

[austere fiber]

Seriously… an armada event on Arena night? Arenas take hours of full time play to get enough loot for a week of pulls, and there shouldn’t be any active events competing with it.

I have the new revenant but can’t help my team on armadas when I’m in Arenas. This shouldn’t be a conflict.

[waxen heath]

PvP is a frickin' joke in this game, due to them feeding off of whale tears. They either need to tighten PvP bands DRASTICALLY or provide better Vindicator sourcing options, because I get my rear handed to me every match in arenas.

[full tusk]

Bro wtf are people thinking lol , is the reward more than 1300 tokens at your OP , mine is on a pre ascension server it is 100 % not worth what these people spend . Yours is almost enough to do the SMS 1000 times

[summer torrent]

i dont mind losing the arena matchs. but i do not like that all 3 members have to rdy up everytime. was easier last week when i could just keep starting the matchs. less waiting more matchs

[full tusk]

If they cared about PVP for anything but stroking whale egos it would be in 5 OP brackets , its not so i wouldnt expect much with the PVP your enjoyment isnt the goal

[potent hearth]

You need to ditch this stupid arena event. No one wants to do them. I try for hours to get a team together just to try to get 4 or 5 done, if I’m lucky, so I get screwed. I have absolutely zero change of getting vindicator or any of the buffs or anything from the terran store cause NOONE WILL DO THEM

[signal wraith]

My last match started missing an UC mada, and partway through the match gave up trying to count directives and lost em every hostile hit

[rich bough]

Trash

[woven tulip]

Same rewards, maybe their hoping to score on the meta but still that ain’t worth the cost

[opaque hawk]

I know the big topic is arena, but thought i would let you know my experience with March of progress this weekend Hammy, I went from ops 56 to 58, upgraded almost every building to 58 *and some were 55 not 56. Did 90% of the researches that opened up, also a ton of other researches that were sitting out there from away team and territory and ships. Scored 55 million in the slb and took 2nd place. Didnt even get 2/3 of the first milestone done.

Alt account went from ops 44 to 45, upgraded all buildings from 44 to 45 and did the new researches (all combat/station/galaxy were completely caught up before) finished 2 milestones... oddly enough, somehow 44-45 got my alt 67 million points, where as 56-58 only got me 92 million.

[turbid hamlet]

So instead of Two Heroic events.. we have this.. where Instead of spending near 16m, to get 25 shards.. upon getting T2 of this event.. have to now spend.. near 23m.. to get 25 shards.. the heck is this??

[opaque hawk]

so, technically, stage 2, and stage 3 are supposed to decrease in cost, problem is, i bet you went up in ops level like I did, thus causing stage 2 to be almost double the cost of stage 1...

[zenith peak]

Just spent an hour in queue waiting for a third for an arena event. Finally gave up. Please open it up server wide. For my sanities sake! It can’t be that hard.

[inner hull]

Really sucks that arena starts while im at work then ends an hour after but im lucky if i can get in maybe 3 matches because by the time i can get on everyone is doing other things and i have to wait for a dam squad. Make it an all day event or don't do it at all

[spare shore]

Events like these are ridiculous I'm not gonna pay for the ship or for directives just to earn event tokens but if this is how you expect us to actually earn any note worthy tokens to use in the event then f2p people are all doomed

[noble verge]

I did my mandatory elimination of hostiles to get my daily points, 5 lvl 20s & 20 lvl 21s +. They should've also registered in the Klingon Hunt event but they weren't like they usually do. My user name in the game is Orangenius. Could some1 fix this PLEASE???!!! FWIW, I was in Sorenle at the time & I'm playing on server 710.

[thorn belfry]

Is it just me or do we get basically no event store currency this event store if we didnt pay for the revnant. I am all for ppl who bought stuff to get extra but at least give the people who didnt the normal amount. Literally punishing players for not buying something is more than predatory its disgusting

[queen kindle]

Early payouts are low, but income is supposed to increase later this month.

[lean cargo]

Merrrrry Christmas! - Scopely

[limpid galleon]

the new daily events are just trash. all of them. change it back to how it was before. it was outdated, but not completely useless as the new ones are

[placid fossil]

Because there's no way to spend that amount of points without levelling ops. Huge kick in the teeth

<@&509690795536941056> Can you please take back to the event runners that having so many events that run off the amount of resources spent, rather than the result of that spend actively penalises players who invest in efficiency research, as such cost efficiencies make it actively impossible to spend as much, penalising us for playing smart.

[dim shadow]

As part of the choice rewards in the battlepass pls think of including ship parts as well

[novel mango]

One thing you can count on is scopley making payouts worse each time.

[novel mango]

Hey Scopley fixed the lame stores by not giving you any event store credits to spend!

[glossy atlas]

I'm sitting here just hoarding all my officer shards/ship xp/officer xp - it sucks. The old way was definitely better

[pliant forum]

revamped my bigtoe.......this still favors ops 60+ who already have faster mining speeds plus more points per mats by 15x as well as 60+ are the only ones with access to 6* mats.......why would you even bracket 59 n below with them.....

[keen plank]

And as an Ops63, I don't like the bracketing either! Because it's 51 to 70, the rewards don't have any G6 materials, absolutely useless rewards! <@&509690795536941056> Please ask your devs to split the brackets, it will be a positive change for both G5 and G6, and probably also for Scopely as it will drive engagement

[runic meadow]

Why would an ops 60 push for g5 materials, mining Monday is still a trash event even with the improved payouts.

[pliant forum]

well 17 of the top 20 on my server are 61+....so there must be something...egos or to help with ALB.....but technically ops 60 are still on 5* mats...6* mats/space only unlocks after the ops 61 mission

[coral bane]

And again a Q sms that is impossible for lower level players to complete when they are halfway Qlvl1 enemies. Not even any bells.
Apparently scamply themselves dont play the game and didnt have learned anything from previous Qsms total fail.
Its very sad and demotivating scopely apparently deliberately tries to get rid of players

[odd dock]

good job scopely, only 1000 hostiles to kill today 👍

make hostiles count as 2 points ftlog ... even 500 kills is already stretching tolerance

[oblique ore]

If you want a regular q Event now every week, the players need more bells to do it. impossible to collect so much bells regular
<@&509690795536941056>

[hollow lichen]

i'd hope we get a pack of bells again to make it possible to do this, or increase the amount we can collect from the daily box to be enough for this event so we can stock up?

[dark horizon]

so i guess this month's event currency is for $$$ mostly ? I would even be upset if there was anything worthy in the event store

[long bluff]

So many events, most cant even score in them 😦

[ashen notch]

The Trials & Tribulations event is a total joke. Unless you're gonna increase the bells stockpile limit so that we can collect our daily bells every day, it's an impossible event unless you get lucky and get bells from a refinery pull.

On that same scope, when someone has all of the refinery FTs unlocked, how bout removing the tech tokens from the pool of random drops?

[hollow lichen]

oh the whip has been a complete useless piece for the refinery since maxing it, every single day its just rare and sometimes epic parts. never, ever the bells or even protomatter. It was at least more balanced before maxing but now it's pointless

[molten marlin]

if they could bring back the refinery for excess epic and rare fragments but yes the refinery eventually becomes useless

[keen plank]

so where to start with this...
ok;
players get 80 trial bells every day and cannot hold more than 80 trial bells to claim.
at most this can result in amassing 150 bells. lets say that day is the event day and you still got your 80 bell claim:
which results in a maximum of 225 bells (9 trials + 225 points for spending bells). that would make this event actually enjoyable when all the star constellations fall together, and you are not a pre ops 30 player who is unable to progress past the 1* trials and are stuck.

but in most cases, and especially if you bring out this event for the first time, the average plaxer will only sit on 80 trial bells (3 trials + 75 points = 375)

i will give you the benefit of doubt because you actually made it possible to reach the THOUSAND by hitting hostiles.

HALF the daily cap.

come on guys, you can and have done better than this.

[neon bane]

Well here is another event we can NEVER do because trial bells never drop from refinery

[coral bane]

<@&509690795536941056> Pls inform scopely lower level players can not complete the new Qtrial sms, even if they would get a kazillion bells.
It seems scopely didnt learn anything from last week fail

[neon bane]

Lower? Higher can't either .. what are you talking about .. i have 25 bells

[torpid marten]

I imagine the Scopely guys in a meeting sitting there, drinking their Martini, Laughing out loud, Watching the players pull their hair out, Trying to understand what they are doing.

[coral bane]

Most lower lvl players simply cannot complete it as they arent able to complete any Qtrial. They are somewhere halfway the lvl1 q trials. Especially if they are strong players and tried the event last week.

[hollow fox]

You have a new wave defense battle pass but its not in the store to purchase.

[static spade]

They never drop from refinery as their not in refinery. You get them in your daily chests (ship resources) 75 a day every day. (Max cap 500) Can get even more from exborg if your lucky

[neon bane]

ya which allows you to run 3 ... out of the 10 needed.

[dark jewel]

It seems to be obvious to the direction... Another pay only event.

[neon bane]

SCOPELY = PAY PAY PAY FOR EVERYTHING

[bronze edge]

Making all the events "give us cash for the new stuff" events, is such shady behavior

[fierce sierra]

Scopely, really this again?! WE CANNOT EVEN BUILD THE REVENANT WITH OPS 39 CAP!

[ionic glade]

It's worse than that as they aren't even bothering to mark them as heroic events. It's like a con to trick people into attempting them

[bronze edge]

The normal pay to play events are fine, but making the entire arc and it's credits pay only, is bs

[sinful heart]

Kinda makes me think they hired that Rian Johnston guy who borked with Star Wars just to screw with the fan base.

[torpid marten]

The worst thing of all is that they keep promising that things will get better, that they will put in more coins from the store. I don't know when they will put in more coins when they close the store.

[sharp iris]

anyone seen the release of event store currency yet, seems like its being treated like premium mirror dust

[ionic glade]

It's impressive scopely have managed almost universal disgust at this arc's events. Uniting the player base like never before

[odd dock]

theres still shills trying to defend this month

[ionic glade]

Very few compared to normal

[neon bane]

I just SHAME everyone I know when I see them buy a scopely pack now. I'm trying to get them to stop the flow of nonsense

[woeful whale]

This is a heroic event and should be marked as such.

If you disagree, please outline how to get the SS Revenant in 7 days without paying. @full swan

[twilit adder]

All of the goodwill generated by having a decent arc is gone thanks to locking event store currency behind a ship purchase. Congrats!

[acoustic token]

So many dailies to complete, but wait—most can't be done because they cost money! We need more dailies that everyone can access.

[low spire]

Next evolution will be that you need to buy Scopely stock shares to score in the events XD

[rough ravine]

Not sure, but it doesn't say you have to use the Revenant, just says kill WD hostiles. Have not done it yet so not sure, but maybe try a WD with other ships and see if it scores.

[woeful whale]

The scoring tool tip says points for kills with the revenant and no other ways to score. The event description says something else (without the limitation for the ship)

[rough ravine]

Did you try other ships? Not being a smart aleck, just asking. I haven't yet but intend to try it and see what happens. If you do, please post the results. I haven't seen a confirmation of the scoring metrics either way. Their descriptions / scoring tool tip language is often incorrect, so I am really not sure, just offering a suggestion.

[novel mango]

The new dailies suck.

[wheat summit]

Just call this a building event. Why even say “research“? It doesn’t count.

[molten marlin]

it does count

[woeful whale]

Not a smart aleck at all! No I didn’t try it. But something about the event needs to change. Either it needs the new ship and should be marked as heroic, or the even scoring tooltip needs to change.

[true ledge]

I can't do a lot of new daily events because of my efficiency research and lack of buildings to upgrade, which means I won't finishing the other event that's tied to doing "70%" of the events.
Not that it matters much but every month it gets worse with the amount of events that i scroll past because they are pay only. Forcing people to spend is how you get players to leave why is that so hard to understand?

[neon bane]

Do you guys actually think Scopely knows how to read? My 4th grader can put together better content documentation. Oh words .. what do you mean? They actually mean something? NA

[neon jay]

A lot of the events are also self limiting—I have most of my FCs as high as I could get them and the incremental upgrades are not going to get me anywhere after a few weeks of this since the next levels of my FC stuff is 3 and 8 full OPS levels away to be unlocked.

[stoic linden]

This shouldn't be a daily - you can't hold enough trial bells naturally to complete it assuming you were doing them daily and not waiting months getting trial bells from rewards

[woeful whale]

Not to defend them but I have thousands saved. I also have the whip which pays out bells among other things.

I otherwise agree with you.

[true ledge]

If only the whip had ftp sourcing. Almost like it could have events that paid out over time and eventually lead to an unlock 🤔 now where have I seen that before?

[full tusk]

Guys of all the event things we should complain about the Q event isnt one there is an alternative path set 3 floaters in aug space and autogrind 1k kills, you get 1 point per hostile

[coral linden]

Might have got your targeting wrong with this one….I’m only ops 38 so can neither buy nor build the revenant 😂

[wheat summit]

When I completed a small test research, I got zero points.

[keen plank]

uncommon materials?

[wheat summit]

🤦‍♂️ there it is. I’m used to the OLD event, where you collect and complete at the 8,500 or 25,000 levels for points.
Now all this does is make me be more careful with my expenditures, as I need to balance research upgrades vs the big spend events.
I’ll have to dig through the numbers. Thank you

[golden pagoda]

Current daily event “Limited Time Ship Upgrade - SLB” doesn’t specify common, uncommon or rare G3 resources. Test upgrade with common on my Discovery doesn’t work. However common upgrades for the Vaklas worked? I want to say common materials for Botany Bay worked for the same event on a different day. I have yet to try Uncommon for these ships. Just thought I’d point this out if it hasn’t already been brought up. 🙃

[ivory shell]

All this New events, daylies are bs or nonsense. This game becomes more and more unplayable even when you spend money. And i tell this as a whole with ops 68! Its more unplayable for lower ops! And scope doesnt care! And this is the biggest content scope ever made???? Its the worst content and the expensivst contant scope ever made!!!

[vagrant topaz]

Then just kill red triangles. There are only 1000🤷🏻‍♂️. Two or three ships parked overnight and you will have the event ready tomorrow.

[pseudo arch]

Would be nice if the Q trials event also gave points for upgrading the building.

[light canyon]

Yeah right news flash scopley doesn’t care anything for free2play players only about the money and not about entertaining

[safe jacinth]

ship parts not materials which you might think considering the tooltip block says materials

[civic nimbus]

I have the whip to and it doesn't help with trial bells

[woeful whale]

The refinery pays out a number of things. One of these is trial bells. 🔔

[civic nimbus]

The refinery is pure luck to get trial bells haven't gotten bell in 6 months so not good sourcing

[exotic fjord]

Maxing the Q's Trials event is not hard. All you need is 200 bells.....enough to complete 8 trials....as that will give you the 1K pts needed to max the event. To accomplish this without buying any bells or getting them via the Whip or the Ex-Borg faction store....all you need to do is have just under 80 the day before the event....claim another 80 that day which should give you at least 120 bells...likely more. Once the event starts, complete enough trials to get your balance down below 80....and then during the event you will be able to claim another 80. That should do it 🙂

[full tusk]

So people on pre ascension servers who cannot get revenant still seeing wave defense SMS that requires it to score.

[opaque hawk]

we used to have a refinery for the excess tokkens, but id10ts turned in their commons before they had unlocked them and there was no way to get more fragments so they removed the turn ins....

[livid flint]

I went to customer service for this ticketed event and they said I didn't mine at all. i got zero credit for trying to do event and they didn't even ask me if i had proof of mining during the event. i gave them a one out of five for customer service.

[opaque hawk]

havent gotten trials bells in over a month from whip, every since i unlocked my last rare from it, the 95% of what it gives me are rare fragments...

[pastel bobcat]

OR do what you can with the trial bells you have and finish the rest with hostiles. there's a pretty easy alternate path so I can't fathom why people are complaining

[lunar pebble]

Could use Arena event at a better time/day of the week. I'd love to see it ran on a weekend.

[hazy swallow]

Terrible event design screwed me out of 9M points toward Soran T2. And not once, but TWICE scopely "support" has told me to pound sand with no points or compensation of any kind for this. It's UNACCEPTABLE...both from a design standpoint and for support. Do these clowns even play the game? Do they have any idea how long it takes to save up these kinds of mats? Because if they did, they would understand wanting something, ANYTHING, in return for spending them.

[opaque hawk]

I agree, it should just be 1 event with more milestones, cause you also get screwed if you ops up, the next step gets higher milestones instead of lower.

[empty robin]

Q's Inventions - SLB needs to be labeled (Heroic)
It requires spending money to participate in...

[keen egret]

Nah. Regular events now require you to spend. Heroic means you need to trade in your car. Quantum has 2 options. Get a second mortgage or sell a kidney.

But wait, there's more. Starting next year you'll need to buy packs to get login tokens. $99 let's you log in 50 times. But everytime the game crashes, it's a new log in.

Quality over quantity and doing better...the Scopely way. 😋

[empty robin]

Dont they realize that due to years of stagnant wages and lack of new construction most of us cant afford to buy a home let alone have it paid off enough to remortgage it, new cars are so expensive that all of us are still driving 90s beaters worth no trade in value, and we all already sold our kidneys to pay rent...

[jagged current]

Can’t say I am a big fan of the new dailies. I like the pinnacle of power, but the others are going to be impossible to complete soon.

[gritty stag]

I think they should of kept the old events and added the new events it would of been better

[tired urchin]

New daily events suck. Please bring back old daily events.

[woeful whale]

I like the pinnacle of power events.

[sinful heart]

This ONLY working on new ones, and NOT the one most folks probably had…yeah, that’s is a serious “screw you” from the event runners.

Man, you guys are firing on all cylinders when it comes to hating on your player base. Not even the petty stuff is getting by you. Merry Christmas indeed.

[hollow lichen]

whats worse, 2 of them you can't even buy? so what's the point of the event

[worn patrol]

Please give us an Invasion event again. I was disappointed there isn't one on the calendar.

[hazy swallow]

Gonna keep posting every day until scopely provides compensation to all the players who got hosed...

Terrible event design screwed me out of 9M points toward Soran T2. And not once, but TWICE scopely "support" has told me to pound sand with no points or compensation of any kind for this.

[odd dock]

friend, youre in for a long wait
youre definitely after me

[sinful heart]

I think it is safe to say that the mask is off and scopes is going full “EA” on speed on us. I would recommend no one waste another dime of these guys till they remove their tone deaf greedy heads out of their collective 4th points of contact.

Unless Scopes is seriously trying to kill the game.

Then I recommend just logging off and not wasting any further TIME with this blatantly BOHICA that they are serving this fine CHRISTMAS (holiday universal) season 😉. (Scrooge would be proud)

[ionic glade]

sure there is a not so family friendly gif to say merry christmas in the way Scroogely are saying it to all of us

[vale harness]

I used to buy 3-4 packs a week. Now i don’t even buy the battle pass. I got many F2P teammates a red Stella skin with the armada packs i used to buy.

[vagrant topaz]

too many "Heroic" (i.e. pay to win) events. At least put them in their own group or tab so I don't have to sort through them for the non-pay sms events

[odd dock]

they cant, it would make the normal event wheel look empty ...

[uncut sentinel]

I want to know why I even have this event if I can not have a SS Revenant as a level 39?

[lean cargo]

I'm guessing you spent the ~9M point difference really quickly after completing the T1 SMS, before the T2 event appeared for you. Took quite a while for me and I wasted points too because I wasn't paying attention. Which is stoopid, having to account for the lag in events triggering.

[hollow lichen]

lovely scopely, you make people save up for xindi event to nullify it by launching an armada sms but not have that one count xindi mada. So why do those? yup, no reason...
And then you add another upgrade revenant slb without notice so stuff everyone that already has it?

[dark horizon]

The new events (daily & weekly) suck so bad, just a way to drain resources mostly. Change my mind.

[spare shore]

This is an insane idea I know but if your gonna make us upgrade and do a bunch of armadas or trials or a bunch of anything, how about you actually give us the stuff to do so it's nuts you guys think free to play people can keep up without hard planning everything at the beginning of the arc which a lot of players don't have the dang time for!

[full tusk]

What OP 26 has 8 rare FKR armada starts sitting around i have banked every single one since i STARTED playing i have enough for 5
Why do you hate your players its holiday event currency why make it such a troll points total

8 rare starts for 6 k holiday currency , whatever you guys are smoking you need to step away from the bong and come back to reality.

Why couldnt you just give 20 % points to participants and not points only to setter , its group content , it would be managable as a team if you did that

[wicked mica]

This is not our holiday event, Its socpely's holiday and we are the ones paying for it.

The events team really need to find a balance between player satisfaction and pure corporate greed, currently it only tilts one way. This month has just been full of not-heroic, but still heroic events that are locked behind a paywall.

The events that are not reliant on making a purchase have really fallen into the realm of either not possible or rewards not worth the resources needed to complete.

So far this has been the worst Arc Event Store simply because there is no currency to be made in the free events. Its maybe 1/2 of previous stores. The events are the foundation of the game, its sad to see them deteriorate.

Sorry for the purely negative post with no real practical suggestions, I just feel its something the team need to seriously consider and start steering away from this doomed trajectory.

[wanton summit]

They don't care. We've been saying it from day 1, and there has been no change.

[hollow nimbus]

Every single day of this arc has been a giant middle finger to low level players. We get it, we get it. We don't matter. You can stop now.

[formal latch]

All these "new events" are simply the alliance tournament tasks everyone recycles. Brilliant.

[full tusk]

You guys really think 1500 epic armada directives is worth 6 k holiday tokens the same as you get for 54 realta kills on hostiles

Its a holiday event it should have been set one uncommon and have a great holiday , you guys suck

[broken root]

Would you guys consider adding in solo armadas into these weekly armada events? This weekly demand for FKR's is not sustainable for us

[short pier]

That's not true, yesterday you guys got 2 easy hostile events while 40+ got 1 and a revenant-only wave event...

[short pier]

That's the point. Scopely says "You will spend regularly or miss out regularly, welcome to the New And Improved Event Schedule."

I get Scopely has money to make, and we've always had heroic events, but so far this month has had far more than the usual number of events aimed at spenders, and most of them were not heroic.

[full tusk]

Hey hey hey now we are all getting the short end of the stick lets keep the vitriol focused on whos at fault here Scopely and their greedy practises and disregard for their players time and the actual way their game plays out

[dark horizon]

There's a saying about offer and demand which I'm not going to type in here, but TLDR, if whales wouldn't keep emptying the CCs into those packs, then Scopely would have to drop the price point. The whole point of micro transactions is to be "micro". I am never going to spend $100 for some pixels.

[ocean crypt]

scopely changes only some events to update to g5/g6 , but forgot all about cerritos event which is still only g4, what happened there, oversight, forgot , or couldn't be bothered to adapt them all

[light canyon]

You know scopley will keep running these pay to win events as long as people are spending money to do them. It’s a sad reality that they care nothing for the free to play players who actually play the game and enjoy the game. Where everyone knows pay2win eventually grow bored with it and move on to the next newest game , to them it’s just a temporary thing tell they find something more interesting. It would be nice if they focused more on entertainment and fairness but scopley only cares about money not good entertainment.

[full tusk]

Its not just free to play , i was spending 20-80 bucks a month but these events have completely locked me out of the game, and even when i do go look and think of buying its 49.99 to complete the SMS like 2 times for 200 points toward ahead of the curve that needs 11k points basically . Its just not even remotely an acceptable cost for what you get. Im spending nothing now , because it feels like its pointless to spend at all if you are not a trust fund baby that can buy the shop out and never think twice about it

[obsidian ether]

Why you always give uncommon gas in the treasury, and never crystal ?

[dusty shell]

Can someone explain to me why I am seeing events that I cannot even participate with?

[short pier]

Because they want you to rush ops.

[full tusk]

Tis the season for feelsbadmoments brought to you by Scopely thanks for paying them they wish you to spend more in the holiday tradition of giving

[light canyon]

Armada events really suck for free to play players. When armadas first came out and you could actually source these it was fairly good. Unfortunately it went from being a source able resource from doing armadas to a buy only sourcing . It litterly went from being a fairly decent and do able event for all to one of the worst since doing the armadas doesn’t give armadas to run like it used to do. On top of that buying armadas only gives enough to run one so you have to spend thousands. Hence worst events ever nowadays.

[keen plank]

when an event makes you feel like a traitor... 🤣 i refuse to reach that milestone!
just because i had an abundance of station researches stage 1 to do

[light canyon]

You feel like traitor for the events, yet I feel like beaten redhead stepchild with how scopley has screwed up armadas and wants to run armada events without giving a sourcing for armadas outside of buying 100 stupid armadas for $100 dollars. I’m no mindless sheep that’s going to buy anything and everything like a sheep led to the slaughter.

[full tusk]

They suck for pay players also you pay 49.99 for enough to do the SMS twice for 200 ahead of the curve points. Is that really supposed to be an inticing price point ? I know most whales cant seem to do math but its still not good for them either .

[exotic hatch]

#💬 explorers sms not scoring

[full tusk]

Honestly if you could pay 20 bucks and get 100 rare starts so you never had to worry about it again then people probably wouldnt care and would pay but this company is greedy to a fault

[light canyon]

It sure as heck is. You can actually get far more money with smaller prices than you can with larger ones. What really sucks is used to be able to source armadas from beating armadas , but scopley said no more of that so they can force people to buy them at $100 to do like 1 armada 2 at max. Instead of focusing more on putting out a good quality entertaining fun fair for all game

[austere mortar]

the event store currency amount is so minimal this month i want to vomit. there is almost no point in having it at all it’s so low.

[light canyon]

I used to enjoy doing the fkr armadas back in the day when armadas first started but ever since scopley screwed them up where you don’t even get armadas for armada I got were I just don’t care for them and dread when they come around finding the fkr armada events to be the absolute worst far worst then the Tribble’s event ever was

[celest jay]

Lets remove all the basic events, and then have daily events for spending G3+ mats, artifact tokens, FT upgrades, while continuing to add more SLBs that require the same stuff.

[torpid marten]

I used to invest in the Battle Pass, but I don't plan on investing at any time in a package that costs the price of a triple-A game. With what a lot of people here spend, they could buy games from big companies.

[warm crest]

4 regional slb's that nobody wants. Great job dopely!

[formal musk]

how many bonus points do folks get with the Chaos Tech equipped, like the description say? The event card sure looks like that number is zero.

[torpid marten]

It's just that there are two people, one writes the description and the other the event card. But apparently, they don't get along. Each one writes something different.🤣

[left marlin]

@full swan Thx for the update. Unfortunate that the Overlords keep ramming these unwanted Regional SLBs down our throats. But they would certainly be easier to digest if they were paired with Heroic SMSs.

And one thing was missing from your last update. And that was when Alliance Tournaments would be coming back. Any news would be appreciated. Thx 🖖

[high aurora]

Should have given us a full weeks worth of credits for single pull arena claims. Also....More SLBs? Completely tone deaf. Edit: Even worse...they are Regional SLB's. Doubling down on ignoring feedback....Dissapointing

[quartz creek]

@full swan Treasury...Instead of the banner clogging the center of the screen with the other half-dozen banners, can we install a counter underneath the Treasury Icon?

[light canyon]

Clearly scopley needs to fire a whole lot of people and higher new ones. Ones that care about making a great fun game for all with better business ethics

[lost vault]

so are the costs staying as is or being changed? 30x the price of a single chest in order to get 2 is a bit crazy

[full swan]

Still working on an update for AT and letting the team know the feedback about the RSLBs.

[light canyon]

I guess no longer running any of the daily officer events anymore? These new recent changes to the game suck

[high aurora]

Seems like the new event structure is starving the lower level people of lat

[waxen totem]

100%

[queen hearth]

no one wants an RSLB. NO ONE. Same for XSLBs. NO ONE WANTS THEM.

[light canyon]

Yep which is bad since they say lvl up people as quickly as you can. As a free to play I say that’s not possible when you starve of lat and resource materials I sure as heck ain’t spending your outrageous prices. I buy physical complete physical games for far less

[proven sparrow]

@full swan How are we supposed to do these events weekly when we don't get enough directives per week to launch armadas?
I max pull the Epic, Rare and Uncommon Alliance Chests per day and I still don't have enough Armada directives from them chests to be able to start armadas.
I seen some high ops players saying they get enough but us low level get no where near enough directives

[runic meadow]

That must be why they still running them then.🙄

[runic meadow]

This whole Arc is about spending real world cash, 75% of the patch today was behind a paywall😂, to make that spending experience more enjoyable.

[quartz creek]

Yeah, it's give a little, take a lot. That March of Progress SMS, I want whatever Scopely is smoking.

[full swan]

Yeah. Been hearing about this event today. Letting them know that its the directive sourcing that's impacting things.

[runic meadow]

If only there was a place that players could leave feedback🤔, in a purely positive manner, as negative feedback gets filtered out.

[torpid mountain]

We in 710 have the same feedback re: directives vs. scoring.
It's hard for us to source directives

These pay-to-play events, I would argue, hurt newer servers like mine disproportionally.

[full swan]

Are you new here? There's plenty of negative feedback that gets passed on. But what doesn't get passed on ever, is insults or trash talk. You can be negative, but be constructive.

[quartz creek]

As a 56, I just barely squeaked by it.

[molten marlin]

All constructive feedback gets passed on, doesn't mean they can or will act on it, but the team is constantly passing things up the chain.

Negative or positive.

[light canyon]

Really scopley this is the smallest xindi armada one can run? What kind of crackerjack bs is this? You quit giving fkr armadas as reward for doing fkr armadas so one can’t source them outside of 15 in daily goals and 100 unc once every 6 days . Now just to do this event I have to hunt xindi armadas and this is the lowest I can find that’s totally bs

[full swan]

That;s consistent with what I've been hearing today.

[torpid mountain]

Poor monetization strategies hurt all servers, and it disproportionally hurts newer servers like mine (710). We are less likely to have directives built up and less likely to be able to participate in all the points-earning options. It feels like we have to spend money on a game to complete the basic events.

We are hoping to be strong enough soon to have our first incursion, but we can't have events like that if we aren't retaining and bringing in players. Sadly, events like the current one are not fun and don't encourage folks to play the game.

[molten marlin]

Only insults and vitriol is not passed along, you can be completely negative and still constructive, without lobbing insults at the teams.

So the only failing is on the person who can't behave.

[light canyon]

Well it’s very rediculous and a very hard slap in the face to all free to play players that says scopley doesn’t care a lick about those who truly plays the game.

[runic meadow]

That’s not what the original message I responded to said……….but what do I know.

[full swan]

Negative feedback that's constructive is passed on. Insults are not. If you can't make your point without being insulting then you're just screaming into the void.

[runic meadow]

Pull one of my posts up where I have been insulting. Just been pointing out that Scopely are killing the game. Forced spending or the implied forced spending will eventually kill the game off.

[full swan]

Sorry. What I was replying to was the mention that negative feedback is never passed on. Not that you had been insulting. (I appreciate you being contstrutive!)

[neon terrace]

@full swan Any news about the legacy reel?

[light canyon]

Thank you scopley for all the events that I can’t even do !!!! I refuse to buy things to do the events . Used to love doing events but since you put events as buy to win and impossible to do it just ain’t worth doing anymore.. thank you for ruining the game big time with your greedy money grubbing.

[full swan]

Should be coming in the next week or so.

[high aurora]

As someone who has played since day 1, it is very difficult to continually provide feedback, often with solutions, when the majority of that feedback seems like it is brushed aside, or takes so long to implement that it becomes irrelevant to the meta. Sourcing has always been an issue across the board. Where was the player council when these new dailies were rolled out?

Where's the consultation from those that are "boots on the ground?" The siloed approach to development in an MMO always leads to disconnected and disjointed results month over month. You have an entire community that wants this game to succeed. If you were a bit more open between your teams and your community, you would find that a collaborative approach leads to a healthy game and a healthy community. It has to be tiring with the constant criticism, but the structure in place seems to always put Scopely in it's own way.

You need to add people to the test group (or create a test group/sounding board, under NDA ) that are not Scopely employees and that are not Content Creators. That would provide different feedback as they would be a bit more objective from an "average player" perspective. Our CC's are great, but they are above average in game knowledge and tactics. They are the best of us. You need more "normals" as they are referred to in society to balance things out.

[stoic linden]

I vote for JamesBondd as our free to play representative

[ocean crypt]

regarding your new faction events, the ship upgrades event, you do remember that all ships do begin their life's as tiers of common parts, the unc and rare parts are in their later stages not their beginnings, this event then become ridiculous for any new ship , even more so in higher ops

[torpid mountain]

This.

As someone from 710, I would like to see the below Ops 40 experience represented in the testing pool.

New things for upper division players is awesome. For those of us below Ops 40, especially those of us in servers than haven’t gone through Ascension, we’d also love to see more content for folks below Ops 40.

For example, some of us in 710 are frustrated that we cannot participate in the Arena.

[shut geode]

Lower the amount of points you need with at least 80%

[hoary falcon]

@full swan any update on when players can finally build the NSEA? Since the invasion event has been scrapped.
No NSEA BP in event store either…
Players are close to unlocking but unable to finalise it due to the above.
Example: I’m 13 BP away, have the credits to get the BP through invasion event, but was capped due to the time limit..

[molten marlin]

The invasion event has not been scrapped, it will run on the 17th

[light canyon]

I know what you mean man, I’ve been playing it since it launched and all suggestions and pointing out issues falls on deaf ears since nothing gets done except for making the game far worse then it ever was.

[regal stirrup]

It works if you actively hunt a hostile with your explorer ship, but it will not work if you farm with your explorer and leave it parked in a system

[runic meadow]

@full swan listen to this guy, he uses much better words than I.

[sinful heart]

As someone who has shared many of the same experiences (and dang…you passed me congrats:-) ) brother, you hit the nail on the head. (And sounded a lot less cynical than I did.

I’ll save some produce for you though over with the rest of us slinging bombs 😋😉.

(I would rather have a fun toilet game though to kill time…like I used to with game, lots of good ones)

[lean cargo]

I don't think it falls on deaf ears. Worse, it seems to intentionally get rubbed in our faces on a monthly basis. Recent example - how long have we been saying we don't like xslbs / rslbs? We get told that our feedback has been passed along. Then a month later there's an announcement saying Scopely have listened to us and heard our feedback and in an effort to give us a more enjoyable playing experience... "here's four bug riddled rslbs with your christmas loot cut by 75% and an increase in cost of 3x. Oh, and we'll purposefully only give you 2x armada starts when you need 3 to finish the sms. Enjoy!"

For so many things, you don't need feedback to know that it's wrong. E.g. the March of Progress thresholds. Except Scopely just say its the players who are wrong.

I honestly don't see the point of providing feedback anymore. The same feedback has been provided for years and even if it is passed along, nothing is ever done about it.

[wicked mica]

Player Feedback: Wow that's a lot of spend events this month, that's quite unreasonable don't you think?

Scopely: Here's our new event Arena Prep! 4 SLBs. Upgrade your buildings and spend G3 or Higher Materials to compete!

[proven sparrow]

One thing they could do with is a PTR. Where the players can copy their account to it to test whats coming out.

Every time I see a video of what's coming out, the devs have all the max items, buffs, artifacts, primes and whatever else.

I fail to see how that can be a true reflection of how new content affects the game

[sinful heart]

Yeah, SLB’s and XLB’s and RSLB’s can take a leap off a cliff. Only winning there is scopes.

[neon terrace]

Scopely 80% or normal 80%?

[hollow lichen]

80% of base obviously, through wizardry math so somehow you'll end up with higher milestones so you need to buy MORE packs

[vocal wing]

@full swan New dailies and weeklies have no sourcing for officer shards. We used to be able to get reasonable quantities of ultra recruit tokens from the old daily SMS and SLB's.

[tropic sigil]

Leaderboards are auction based events. The community decides how much needs to be committed to getting rewards. Shouldn't blame scopely for players inflating the cost of rewards unnecessarily.

They've listened to our feedback and created SMS events throughout the month that lead to resources, materials, full unlock of an epic officer, and progress towards the newest officer without any participation in leaderboards.

Scopely, you're doing great this month. Thank you for trying controversial things and keep it up 😊 The players will get used to it and be better off for it.

[empty robin]

Stop with the bait and switch on the titles of the SMS yall come out with. For instance yesterdays "Armada Execution" conveniently got the tag (heroic) added to it later.
Your community is not dumb. Stop treating us as such.

[high aurora]

Except most of the SMS events involve spending resources we don't have to get smaller amounts of them in return. Did you even read the events vs their payouts? Most of them are NOT sustainable after doing them twice. Either that or your post was total sarcasm. Then those events lead to a month SMS that's RNG in the end...Big picture this is a good idea, poorly executed.

[tropic sigil]

I'm sustaining personally with the weekly and daily dailies. I've done ok with my account. Not sarcasm. This is far more rewarding than dumping all my RSS 2 times a month for a partial unlock of the newest officer.

Hopefully you'll notice fewer competing for the spend SLBs and you can ignore these SMS since they aren't valuable for your account. Then you'll benefit from not having to spend as much to get the rewards you want.

Additionally, there's no harm in only getting half way through the big monthly SMS each month. A full unlock every other month is still great progress while still getting a nice trickle of rewards almost every day outside of arc events and battle pass progress.

This is a huge win for the players.

[hollow lichen]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-meme-pepe-frog-gif-26117735

[fluid lotus]

So much event store currency this end of arc. Got enough for a single epic officer 10 pull!

[orchid lion]

I see we’ve found the only employee in the Scopley PR department

[craggy elm]

This is just how you feel not how it really is and of course not how it develops over time.

The math says you get less than before but you can pick what you need.
Meanwhile you are not getting the pile of other stuff you got earlier without noticing as it's not in your focus.
The sooner you check it for yourself the earlier you see how bad this is

[tropic sigil]

130 premium weekly and 2.55 epic officer shards (28 day SMS) for killing a few xindi. This would be a clear example of something good for the players.

Can you give an example of something that is now worse for players? Please share your math of old events vs new events so I can better understand. Feel free to DM me.

[ionic glade]

That example is a new event not a replacement daily.

Edit as can't post again:
Where are you sourcing the lat/ officer tokens and rare ship mats that are now completely missing from the new dailies that were easy to gain from the old dailies?

[torpid marten]

Don't mess with my multi-million dollar company. Because I get anxiety.😲 🤣

[craggy elm]

Peldorvarga already answered it.

The new dailies cost you stuff that's hard to source for peanut rewards. It's plain and simple.

[tropic sigil]

Those were all SLBs?

[ionic glade]

Nope? They were SMS with easy targets.

The rare ship parts (limited research one) gave 40ish 5* rare ship parts for completing a single research and appeared 1-2 times a week that's a nice little addition for something that has poor sourcing

That has now completely gone - edit to add last line

[torpid marten]

In daily events you should not ask for materials that must be accumulated, because you cannot do them daily, they have to be easy to get materials.

[tropic sigil]

You don't have to do them daily. You only need 22 to complete the 28 day event. If your account can't sustain that, go for half the monthly SMS and get half an unlock per month.

Losing 80 rare ship parts per week... Work on your 2x daily refines, eviscerator tier, and NX tier. Also look out for the next loop as it'll probably give latinum/speed ups/parts.

[ionic glade]

they were a bonus on top of those things? we have lost something for zero gain?

[tropic sigil]

I've found your 80 rare ship parts per week. If you can scrap one of these Kelvins every 7 weeks using the every other day ship upgrade event you're good to go.

[craggy elm]

inefficient loop. you gotta do it with ISS jellies and Ent-A for the Ent-D.

[tropic sigil]

Even the most inefficient loop is great 😊

[snow holly]

That may be true for your level / server, but doesn't reflect my experience. I'm F2P, just gone ops50. In the weekend SmS/SLB combo I've been able to unlock the epic officer reliably by doing the first few milestones of an SMS and then also placing at a decent level 5-10 in the SLB.
Do that in the first weekend and then spend less in the second, and the officer was unlocked.
In the new weekly spend events, i don't have any incentive to participate: anything I spend there is wasted and can't be spent in the weekend SLB.
I'm not saying this to discount your experience, but when I've seen SLB=auction said as fact elsewhere, I don't think that's true for all. Its valid to think that adding in additional material spend events, and removing events that focused on other currencies, is not helpful to play experience.

[fallow fox]

Why do so many of the new "limited time" events have scoring issues? I just spent a ton of ship parts and didn't score a single point in the ship upgrade event. This has been an on going issue wince launching the new event structure.

[tropic sigil]

Were they common parts? Only uncommon and rare score.

[lean cargo]

Don't feed the trolls guys. He's just baiting.

[fallow fox]

spent common and uncommon - even tried on different ships... maybe it's just lag

[tropic sigil]

Continue doing what you're doing and ignore the SMSs then. You'll benefit by gaining more from SLBs (or spending less for the same rewards). And, since most things line up occasionally, you'll get a little extra from the daily dailies you happen to complete.

[random knoll]

Can we add directives to the multiphasic store. Would be great to see a larger array of rewards available for spending $.

[broken root]

could we also add the NSEA BP's to the event store pretty please?

[high aurora]

Surely you integrated masteries into these….

[woven kettle]

Will all players see an uptick in event store currency, still? The only real additions I’m seeing are locked behind heroics, paid SLBs (for new CT), or a handful of winners in region wide LBs

[manic estuary]

WOW! A LOT of grinding events!

[vale musk]

Dailys, Apex, Cube, PvP, Texas, Vindicator, FC, Capital Traders, Arena Prep, BP - did i miss something?
Who the **** comes up with something like that? it's just too much at once, guys!

[sharp dragon]

I don't think that they will add to the store that late into BP :/

[halcyon goblet]

Regional SLB... yes, but no.

[high aurora]

RSLB's walling the event store currency.....even more tone deaf then I thought yesterday...This is sad.

[ocean crypt]

para bellum, yet another out-dated event with only g4 resource as a max available

[sinful heart]

*hands over some “matoes” 😋

[snow holly]

(Replying to thoughtmuse on the parabellum event)
But very valuable for that purpose to lower level players (apparently thats everyone up to ops50 now 🙂). It also doesn't require spend of materials or armada directives, so let's give it some credit.

[ionic glade]

Be careful what you wish for they will take it away and give us another mat spend event each month

[formal musk]

at least you can choose which mat spend event you want to do, while the monthlong SMS for the officer is going on. thats nice.

[full tusk]

Trashhhhhhhhhh , tired of typing out long feedback suffice to say this sums it up.

[vagrant topaz]

well after last arena and incursion i added these two things i wont do anymore. they said the fixed the pairing, las arena no one ws able to do anything but get killed as they enter, incursion the team we went up against sent at least 50 ships in one system ... evey ship was more poweful that the strongets players station in our sever, how it that a fair challenge. 100% of the players i know didnt even play thay day. they put a 24 hour bubble and stayed offline

[grizzled owl]

Well my solution… just boycott the daily events. They drain stuff I can no longer easily replace.

[tacit dawn]

Too... many... events... argh!

[tropic sigil]

Just did some math: if you do the pinnacle of power daily (2800) and all the weekly dailies except the final weapon (8400), you only need to 600 points worth more to finish the 28 day SMS. 2 final weapons (4 epic fkr armadas) or 6 dailies (maybe do 2 per week in conjunction with the weekend spend SLBs for 3 of the 4 weeks).

I hope this information allows you to participate and maintain your account resource stability.

[full tusk]

Does that account for saturday only giving 100 points ?

[grizzled owl]

I guess my issue is that I'm ops 25 and it's become pretty impossible to do anything quickly anymore. The latinum sourcing in the daily contests are gone and my d'vor is only level 5. Away teams give pitiful rewards, I'm near drained of speedups. It took me a long time to figure out the gameplay and into a predictable rhythm. Now too much thinking and grinding for the daily events. I don't always want to be progressing levels before I'm ready and know how higher levels work.

I would have liked to have had at least warning so that I didn't blow all the latinum and speedups as before thinking that I could replace them easily.

Basically too tired to figure this out if it's even worth it anymore.

[sinful heart]

As someone who started in 2019 (Jan/Feb) I can tell you that if you are just starting, run now.

It does NOT get any better. Pre ‘22 I would say embrace the suck, it does get “better”. But it won’t.

You are just going to see more pay to play events, and the sourcing for stuff will make you want to throw a controller.

And do NOT pay for anything, it’s a trap and you will blow a couple hundred and not be able to tell any difference next week.

[grizzled owl]

yeah… I think they seem to forget that people play this game actually have real lives and real responsibilities. Didn't they say before "play the game, don't let the game play you"? well sure feel like I'm being played here.

[deep mulch]

Ok today doing the vidar pvp event for the Q Continum on 201 , has been interesting. When ever a system is set aside for specific ships pvp along come the Cowboys with there 200k damage ships and knock off all the little ships trying to do the event. Such a joke why cant a penelty be introduced in such events for Cowboys like that?

[copper shadow]

because those cowboys as you put it are whales and they will do everything possible to keep them happy and content. Realize that the whales are like 5-10% of the entire playerbase but they keep the lights on. We as the other 90% are considered free to play or low spenders/dolphins and our opinion does not matter at all in the grand scheme of things. Scopley or for that matter any companies job is to keep us engaged so we keep playing which gives the whales people to taste out all their toys they spend thousands on and no thousands is low balling it honestly. There is a few whales on my own server who have let slip how much they've spent in the 6yrs they've been playing and knowing the number they said I can understand why our feedback is brought up to the powers that be but doesn't often go anywhere from there. Unfortunately it's a choice for each of us do we go into those pvp systems or do we find other ways to enjoy the game me personally i dont give in to the pvp push i dont crack bases or kill every miner i see, but during incursions i will raid a base for the valuable rss after someone else cracks it. Food for thought find your own path and sorry for the long winded message

[gilded nest]

At some point, it doesn’t matter how much you’ve spent in game if you can’t play it. The “whales” need to be feeling the lag and the game instability as well. If I were them, I would be stepping back and asking myself how long will I continue to put money into something that’s not working. Kinda like that old car in the garage that no one can find parts for lol you don’t get rid of it because your into it for so much but stop spending money because the ending is futile without the right fix.

[grizzled owl]

The funny thing is that I think I did play this game at the beginning, but never got into it. And to think that just the other week I was thinking of introducing this game to my kids. thank heavens I didn't.

[full swan]

That's inaccurate that the opinions here don't matter.

[tropic sigil]

I'd love to see this event run for a longer period like the Soran SMS. And/Or would love for it to start at daily reset instead of noon. I personally always miss the first day potential by pulling all my syndicate xp before noon (I can't stand the notification numbers while playing 😅).

[keen egret]

It seems like you actually listen to us and take the feedback to the powers that be. For that I'm am grateful. But it feels like there's a disconnect somewhere after you deliver feedback.

I've been playing 6 years as of this month. There are bugs that we have been told we're being worked on since then. It's hard to believe that any of it matters when this is the case. But. But. New bugs keep being added and the amount of cash grabs just continues to increase

Additionally, customer support have become abysmal. Most of the time we can't get past the bot. When we do it takes days for a response. Then half the time the ticket gets closed. If not we're asked for a screen shot of something that we can't go back in time to get. My Tardis is broken.

[copper shadow]

As grimm says this is what i meant by my comment. I may have worded my previous message wrong how i meant it to come across wasn't that our feedback wasn't valued or delivered only that it never seems to feel like it is acted on as a whole. I know that there has been improvements we can all see and acknowledge this. Then you have months like this one where its slanted heavily on the spend everything you have and then some even for players like myself that hoard for months and months to run out very quickly. For example when it comes to artifact events I've done more of those this month than the past 6 momths combined and i couldn't finish the 12hr sms yesterday in dailies. I didn't come in here to voice the issue yesterday or today I just realized that even a hoarder as myself is being driven pixel broke with the events and it's something I have to deal with. The previous message wasn't a dig at cm's or scopley in general it was stating something that many of us feel but may not voice.

[tropic sigil]

I believe the intention is for the players to choose either/or and not both unless a heavy spender. You either participate in the SLBs and dump what you need for the rewards you're auctioning for OR participate in SMSs for guaranteed rewards and costs.

I've only participated in the SMSs and I don't feel like I've spent too many resources nor do I feel like I'm missing out on the SLBs I've skipped.

[quartz wind]

Is there any reason not to immediately spend all Recruit Tokens, Ship XP and Officer XP?
In the past I would have kept these for the daily events, but aside from Ultra Recruit for Alliance Tournament tasks I can no longer think of a single event that would use this stuff. Domination maybe, but that can be done with Research and Buildings

[glossy atlas]

I'm waiting a month in case they switch back

[full tusk]

They should have just left the old ones in and added the new ones , occasionally you would get to tripple dip a reesearch or station event and people would have loved that and this entire month would have been goodwill. Instead they removed lat sourcing for pre Dvor players ,killed Gold token acquisition , and removed something people had planed around for months and sucked all the goodwill right out of the room.

[sinful heart]

This, just so much this.

[burnt olive]

Distinction Extinction needs to have the level brackets reworked. I'm level 59 and am grouped with 65+'s. They have a significant advantage because of the amount of TD their level of hostiles drop.

[olive spear]

If there is no event for xp there is no reason to ever use them

[molten marlin]

Megacube recruit event is the only one atm

[small narwhal]

Also the recruit ticket event, though you can do that with transporter patterns (either spending or acquiring iirc)

[grizzled owl]

if it still exists

[grizzled owl]

You know what? I really think I'm done with this game.
thanks for all the help and suggestions everyone.
But what even is the point of this game anymore? Was there ever a point?
surely not the missions. they were interesting to begin with, now their just sad two-faced.
surely not the events. they just drain resources and time with the hope of getting somewhere but always falling just short.
surely not the insane thought that someone low could ever be the best on the server. like you kidding me?
surely not to have the joy of building and growing an alliance from the ground up. I arrived with a large group but barely on life support because there's no incentive for players to stay and build in a smaller alliance. only constant consolidation for bigger and better… but why?
This game has been running constantly on my computer, only offline when a maintenance happens. for what?
it's a real question, for what?

[shut geode]

Again bracket! Fix it, G5 and G6 needs own brackets.. different between G5 vs G6 cube is extreme

[outer verge]

why in lords name, why i must face to face with up to ops 70 in vidar pvp? can whe have P L E A S E cut this at ops 60! as a ops 50 you havnt a chance vs most ops61+! that knows the last shimp! why not scoplay?! its rediculess!

thats not the sullution or need 61+ player some small to push there egos? the sollition is divide into g4/g5/g6 player for those events! a 50 dosnt have the research power of lv 61+... its hard enougth against up to 60... 3(4) systems 3(4) brackets... that is ehat the most player want not more not less... (4 because below 30)... give us a fair chance...

[full tusk]

PVP is a joke anyhow with the brackets they set , your best option find someones floater relocate your base slam realta for instant repair over and over done in 3 mins

[outer verge]

And with this setting they dont change anything... but we want a change! change to a more fair game. not this simple slaughter garbage for high ops player...

[full tusk]

Bud they are never going to make the change you want because the game is set up the way THEY want so that lower OP players get FOMO by getting destroyed by higher tier players and then buy to try and catch up. Its not that i dont agree with you its that what you want will never happen because what it currently is isnt an accident its by design.

[outer verge]

they forget... most low ops player dont buy they quit the game... if they want more player that spend money they should change... heavy spender dosnt have those problems and low spender cant/dont want spend more and quit... the game runs out of new player because the reviews are to bad and it wont be better... each player quit in this way will be wrote a really hard review.

[full tusk]

Bud the PVP isnt whats going to drive low OPs players away its the change to daily quests so they cant get Lat , Gold tokens , and speed ups anymore , i agree the game is not appealing to almost anyone in its current state. My commentary is strictly about yelling into a void that will never hear you because you are mistaken in thinking what they are doing isnt deliberate.

[marble parrot]

Parabelum event folks!. Im sure it has been mentioned before but...as an ops 50 with just a valdore tier 7.

All it takes is 1x capital ship and event done. 🤪

Nice but cant we make it a tad challenging?.

Cant spend the whole day grinding rep..

Scoring was probably bugged when it launched. Very few would be able to finish it, I'd just skip it.

[proven sparrow]

I've increased from Ops 42 - Ops 44. Maxed out every building at level 44, maxed out every research available at ops 44 and used 3 years worth of speedup and this is my progress on that. its also the worst rewards ever for an impossible task

Ah, i understand ....scope made better gameexperience for us. We have just to skip the events and buy €€ Packs to go on on progress. Thats Genius!

[outer verge]

i ignore that... this is an impossible event... or a incredible xpensive event... and the reward is a bad joke for what you need to finish

[terse pewter]

but but but hey guys it's based on average numbers from past months 🤷‍♂️ 🤣

[rapid cipher]

the best feedback anyone can give; stop buying things. i have. feedback only work when someone notices it also. i am not advocating anyone take this approach, however, my personal choice is given here. I've posted a couple times on my opinion regarding the loss of ultra recruit in the dailies. officers and crewing are the single most important aspect of this game. without a steady stream of these patterns one can never really progress. I am not f2p, though am not a big spender compared to others - but this won't affect those big spenders. for everyone else that plays more casually, huge problem. too many officers and far too random results to invest heavily in.

[vale harness]

Better watch what you say. I got in trouble for saying that a while back. A mod said I was inciting a strike or riot…LOL

[rapid cipher]

without addressing these game breaking problems not giving much other choice eh?

[ruby ivy]

I like the Recruit Soran SMS event how it has 3 tiers and over a long period of time, just a shame about his skills as it makes it that i have no interest in him.

[patent star]

I'd really like to see some tighter brackets for the "Technological Distinctiveness" event. The bracket I'm in is apparently 52 - 70. That's crazy. The amount of TD that an Ops 70 player can get with their cube versus a 52, 56 or even 60 is radically larger. There is no way to compete.

[lime prawn]

I believe this was supposed to be longer than 24h?

[chrome void]

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw it

Hidden QiSMAS events - how Q-like

[rapid eagle]

<@&509690795536941056> Uh just a heads up, I don't think this was intentional but this officer/picture and event name is a bit of an unfortunate pairing

[dark horizon]

qis ma what ?

[gilded nest]

https://tenor.com/view/what-surprised-gif-25739412

[rough ravine]

The graphic for the event "The Q Factor - Regional SLB" event in Arena Prep events shows Emblems of Assessment, but using those are not what scores in the event.

[high aurora]

I think we are missing the wave defence event…..

[outer ferry]

Im very happy about finally getting some materials. Everyone knows that Scopely normal mode means 0 progress during arc store months. No res, 1billion store creds for 12 rare crystal etc. Finally, we have goood res even during arc store, even tho store res ratio is very, very, very, very, veeeeery bad, I love this. But for at least 2 months, WHERE IS RARE SHIP PARTS? My Sanctus sitting here , 1 part to go, researching everything, 0 progress. (cleaned up my language)

[cosmic olive]

It’s not there to prevent you from collecting the syndicate xp in the pass before heroic syndicate event ends tomorrow

[half whale]

Yep, still not 1/10th of the way to the first level of rewards on that power gain event…after 4xL63 docks, 3xL63 guns and a ton of research….how can Scopely even call this an achievable event? 🤪

[sudden adder]

Yeah just a little ridiculous 😜

[outer ferry]

They arent. Apparently they based it on our collective upgrades last year, but somehow multiplied it 10.000 times xD They are "looking into" changes for next 30d event ...

[rugged remnant]

Alonzo Freeman as the prize on Q’s Holiday Black Market??!! Is this where STFC is going?? Wait til Reddit hears about this.

[fallow swan]

New Christmas meta out lasts the event store

[mighty jolt]

No need of it,anyone with any common sense, would know better.

[high aurora]

Wave Defence BP event is now there 🙂

[full swan]

Yup. Passed this on.

[lime prawn]

@full swan not sure if I missed a reply elsewhere, but, any word on this getting updated to the duration in the event schedule (and, if not, how that's going to impact advancing to the finale)?

[full swan]

If you clear loc we've updated the name and pic of that event

[full swan]

Asking...

[queen hearth]

"looks fine to me" -arc runner

[full tusk]

How many more free tickets do we get this week i claimed today im at 50 , i will be short 10 ? we get 30 each time or we get 40 each time ?

[lyric quiver]

In fairness, the term was used for the last two runs when it was Kim and Galenar I believe. Plus the term is commonly used. But I could see how it might raise a few eyebrows.

[shy spindle]

Surprised that Scopely did not counted the Raided Bases during the Incursions for the "Legacy reel" but i guess they forgot about those too 😉

[hardy knoll]

You get 10 tickets on a 22 hr cooldown. If you time it right, you can get 40 tickets each time they run a ticket weekend.

[pallid bloom]

The time duration of holiday black market SLB is inconsistent, which one is correct?

[copper shadow]

whichever time they decide to put up until they change it. Unfortunately mistakes happen it's up to us to decide hey am I going to wait to see if it's fixed in time or do i blow everything right now and hope for the best

[mellow jungle]

When we fixing this <@&509691205798592532>

[coarse apex]

it would be nice if we could use the Choice Rewards to turn into ship parts

[rancid narwhal]

Q's Holiday Black Market has a 24hr timer... should have been 5 days, like the rest. (Says so in the message post) What gives?

[shut wharf]

Feedback about the new events introduced in dec. 2024

I've let some weeks past before commenting on those recent changes. I have learned stfc through mastering the old 11 days cycle and it has been useful, but, well, old mechanic, so I welcome the change. Many good things in this rehaul, but considerable room for improvement imho.

The day-of-the-week events

Globally great ideas. Those help players concentrate, one day at a time, towards a particular set of ship/hostiles through SMS and if motivated SLBs so very positive feedback. 🤩

Breaking the 6 hours cycles

On this aspect the change is welcome. Knowing you have half a day to complete any event allows more flexibility on daily gaming, without being compelled to break work or family lives to jump in every 6 hours. So on this aspect this is definitively a ++ feedback.👍

The material management events

At first it was a bit shocking, but as those give decent payback on mats and are coupled with long-term meta events it makes a rewarding cycle of obtaining and spending those mats if taken with care. Their sheer repetiveness make them predictable so they can be integrated in a long term strategy, as long as players choose which to do and which to pass. The meta-SMS on completing those is uninteresting enough to allow not caring to finish them. As a whole this aspect introduces a new logic of management that is sustainable on the long term. So OK feedback on that point. 🆗

The non sustainable events: commanders and artefacts

Here is where the change is repetitive, boring and short-sighted. At first making events about commanders and artefacts seemed original and interesting. But that many times a week exhausts all possibility to complete any. On one hand, high level players and big spenders had most of their commanders and artefacts maxed out beforehand: one week into the cycle they could not finish any of those sms by lack of items to invest into. On the other hand low level players and light spenders may get from time to time a new commander or some new artefacts, but they will lack the supply of PDCs or shard also very quickly.

As a whole, this repetition of events centered on "niche" aspects of the game makes them unsustaineble as daily events imho, and do not encourage the player base to play better. So bad feedback on that aspect. 👎

The learning curve

The antiquated 11 days cycle had a virtue this one is lacking: encouraging players to invest efforts in many different and important aspects of the game. Events were completing each other along the cycle. Some rewarding with materials that would help complete others, some providing speedups or latinium to allow station or research ones. Advancing in all researches was important, not only those in uncommon+ materials. Caring to level up the officers, recruit them, was pointed out as essential in the progression, and as such rewarded.

This aspect of learning-through-the daily-events has disappeared, and as of today is not being replaced by any other game mechanic or tutorial. As an expected result, many players will focus on unnattainable events and forget to recruit their crews or invest heavily into non-rewarded research trees. So as a counsel for players in my alliance I give a negative feedback on that aspect. 👎

Repetition and empoverished variety

As a whole, two 12-hours daily events and a daily SLB seem poor. More so with such a cycle repeated every 4 days with small variants. In my humble opinion stfc has lost much in variety of events. There is room for improvement here, and a lot of it: make two 12 hours events along the SLB for instance. The repetition leads quickly to boring gameplay. Before it was exciting to wait for a once-in-eleven-days recruitnment SLB, or the big-research-day also unique in the cycle... Now, looking at daily events is definitively boring, except to confirm some synergy with a new pass or week-of-the-day event. Soon you'd stop looking at them altogether, knowing you can't complete any this week or this month. 👎

CONCLUSION: Much room for improvement

Change at the 6 years anniversary is a good thing, but caring for the daily excitement of players is also important. This game is complex and takes a lot of time to play decently well, more so after the innovations of the last year. Daily events are part of the process to learn the game, see how its different aspects and currencies interact. There is definitely much room to improve this initial proposal. I frankly hope scopely will take the time and dedicate the workforce to polish this new cycle and make it sustainable for another six years to come. 😜

[astral talon]

And we can’t even say “pal” in in-game chat. Definite double-standard

[lyric quiver]

A bit of pearl clutching IMO

[astral talon]

(I think it’s all just for the laughs 😄)

[novel mango]

Oh they didn’t think that one through. Bad look Scopley.

[half flare]

I know people hate RSLBs, but very generous with the shards on this one. Thank you!

[torpid marten]

True, very generous, but you know that most of us are not going to get even the minimum. This is a full-fledged auction like all the ones that Scopely puts on.💩

[half flare]

I placed top 250 without spending a dime. I did win a free $20 bp this month though, and I did push from ops 55 to building 56 shipyard.

[cedar moss]

The event store is an absolute joke this arc. As a high ops-50 player who has little to no interest in pvp, there's no ships in there that I don't have (Vindicator isn't in there). Ship skins? There's the amalgam, but nowadays resources are thrown at us in such high quantities (which is good), that the skin is nothing more than a step up when it comes to raiding for the incursion SLB.

It's Christmas, give us too much to choose from.

[novel mango]

It’s a joke at all levels and has been getting worse almost every arc.

[alpine topaz]

Wait. What happened to Alonzo? He was the only one I actually needed from the event store loot spend, and now that I did, I get Torres shards? I waited on Kim and Ghalenar and now Alozo is gone.

[full tusk]

hes gone snooze and lose

[honest bone]

@full swan I did ask this question maybe 10 days or so ago as did some others but haven’t seen a response so asking again - is there any sign of a Upgrade speciality buildings event anytime soon (the one for spending building currency on buildings like War Room, Command Centre, Court of Q etc.) we had a few a while back but it’s not been run for ages. Any sign of one or can we request one? 🖖

[solid tangle]

Will there be no more daily recruitement events (aquiring shards)?

[ripe sierra]

Going to the highest level locked Borg system I can reach, I have to kill some 95-100 Borg probes?!

[woeful drum]

218 for me

[high aurora]

We seem to be missing a Q'smas event

[rough scarab]

On my server seems to be missing for g5+, everyone g4 got it

[ripe sierra]

I take it back. I’m 44 level locked, can’t reach higher than level 44 system. I need to kill 219 Borg probes in 24h??

[pulsar hearth]

yo why do we have to grind 200+ Borg probes for this Qismas event?

[zealous ridge]

Merry Qismas, grind yourself silly on probes

[oblique ore]

Has the Designer of the Borg Battle SMS eaten some kind of clown 🤡? Please remember that the Thalios has a lvl lock. So people cannot move up to a higher lvl of hostiles and must kill a insame amount of probes for this event...Maybe the event need a little adjustment to make it doable?
@full swan

[jaunty ingot]

Another show that the dev's dont actually play the game

[feral marsh]

Yeah. I’m not doing the event today. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

[rose ice]

Ops 28 here. Tier 5 Vi'dar. Have to score 93,200 points for the QiSMAS event. 20 points for killing a L25 Borg probe.

That's 4,660 kills in 24 hours. With a 2,000 daily hostile limit

C'mon man

[dark topaz]

@full swan
you guys left us speachless again. it would be funny if it‘s not that embarrasing for your dev‘s

[prisma temple]

dumb ai generated numbers for Q probes....who wants to do 200 probes or more for a simple xmas sms....hire some humans.if they are humans...switch em

[hollow nimbus]

And two tokens a day to the system you need to go to.

[rose ice]

Annnd I've already used one today

[fluid gust]

as an ops28, you're not supposed to be going after lvl25 probes.

[hollow nimbus]

I'm 27 also with a T5 vidar and I just got to where I can fill my hold by killing 26s. Need 1864 to complete the event. I haven't tried 27s yet, I would need 717 of those. It's still all just crazy numbers.

[rose ice]

Can't fill my Cargo Bay with 26's or higher

Play your own game & Mind your own business

[fluid gust]

then don't go for full cargo once.

or try punching up with a good crew for once, sometimes hitting a specific higher level can get you just as much loot as the lower level ones in a fraction of the time it takes you on 25's.

i think the 29's actually have a very bad firing pattern, so if you can deal a lot of damage they can be killed before they even touch you.

[undone roost]

Crazy requirements for level 28 player I need kill over 700 level 27 probes, I manage about 50 per token run till destruction of my tier 5 vidar. Think the event was meant to be 9.3k to complete not 93k

[spare island]

This Q event is awful for lower levels

[silent ermine]

Ops 42, talios tier 5, still looking down the barrel of 100 with grush on bridge.

That's assuming I have enough tokens. I started with 9 and 2 in the chute.

[inland goblet]

Freaking clowns.
LEARN THE MATH!!!

[floral folio]

@full swan Where are the extra transwarp tokens that usually come out with the kill probe event?

[errant belfry]

I'm missing the event as well

[errant belfry]

ops 28, maxed vidar and 31s and 32s are my normal grind but I don't even have the darn event!

[copper oak]

this borg event... no, almost all events since the beginning of the arc are impossible for many players to complete in a reasonable amount of time.
you urgently need to lower the requirements, otherwise the motivation for a lot of things here will drop very quickly and severely!
long-time players who have really “eaten” a lot so far are already going on the barricades. that should give you food for thought!

[ripe sierra]

Just killed 64 borg probes and I’m not even a third of the way through this one day event

[undone roost]

Doing much better than most

[rancid blaze]

OPs 25, T4 Vi'dar, 2880 lvl 25 probes on only 2 tokens. or 2743 lvl 30 hostiles. Still need to go for filling cargo so I ain't going for high lvl probe and not knowing if I can survive with limited tokens. This will be a slog of a day.

[green berry]

Here here, I'm missing the event as well.

[lethal heath]

Same here, also missing the event. Not that I especially want to spend hours chasing borg probes, but I would like to finish the Qismas thing. Ops 32, maxed Vi'dar, archive unlocked.

[vagrant topaz]

Has I been mentioned that the day 3 QiMas event is excessive?

54.59 million is not achievable at lvl 39

[earnest ginkgo]

atleast some of you have the event half the members of my Alliance doesn't even have the 3rd event under 12 days...

[chrome void]

220 kills is far too much to be required for any SMS

[silent ermine]

Yeah I lost count but my battle reports say two hours. Kind of over playing for today.

[topaz folio]

Ops 44 talios tier 5 lvl 36 probes getting 94K points only systems you seem to get normal points is lvl 42 probes and higher lost 5 tokens because of this

[frank wing]

Lmao 'on the 3rd day of Xmas shoot 550 Borg probes' how about no

[vagrant topaz]

I reckon it would take me close to 20 runs to finish the event, unfortunately I just don’t have that many tokens

[full tusk]

Why do the low OPS get the shaft on the meta event Zero points on Sunday and 100 points on Saturday why do you guys hate your playerbase ? You guys manage to make the weekend be a feelsbad moment , just the absolute worst stewards of the game possible.

[chrome void]

took me over an hour to complete it with 2 tokens and even that is too long to spend on 1 event

[earnest ginkgo]

even better is when lower op that can't even start armadas gets events that require them to start armadas to score on top of fewer events to do each day

[fluid moat]

It would have taken me 18 runs at my max warp, so i just brought my eviscerator to the lv50 system made a rift and did it in 35 kills

[vagrant topaz]

Not that simple with an ops locked Talios at 39 😁

[quiet meadow]

Shame on you. It's getting worse and worse.

[loud plover]

the miles stones for this arc are horrendous

[jaunty nacelle]

1.25 hrs of hostile killing for 1 event is NOT an improvement on game -life balance! You guys are off your rockers!

[full tusk]

Ohhh come on now you can grind your life away for 6 k event store credits that if you dont do it you will fail the 12 days event /s

[scenic flint]

These milestones seem way too high

[brazen latch]

I just got a new version of the event

[chrome void]

please share it as I along with many others had to spend far too long on the original of it

[brazen latch]

The issue is I am ops 39, and while close to tier 9 still using the original Vi’dar and from what I can tell part of the issue is the Talios.

[vagrant topaz]

<@&509690795536941056> good job, another event that has made someone quit the game 👍

[earnest ginkgo]

LOL they just added the 3rd event to 12 days...

[deep apex]

This is ludicrous….no way I could ever complete this!

[vestal cloak]

Need 2.63M points to finish event. Out of tokens. At 21 per hostile, that's a little over 125,000 hostiles. Nope.

[rugged heron]

Don't worry Santa sees all... and I know him personally... so...

[flint trellis]

you are lucky i need 5.3bil points so i have to kill 1500 borg ships scopely have you got the numbers right ?????

[reef sky]

If I would really really push and get into killing 54 level borgs, it still would take me 83 kills to complete the event. The alternative is 200 level 52s

[high aurora]

Throw Grush on your ship and try and punch up

[jagged current]

Someone screwed up on the milestones for level 42 at least. I have to kill more than 200 borg probes to finish.

[shrewd oxide]

Mine is ridiculous too. This is way to much. I hope the devs do something about this.

[turbid coyote]

yep, ridiculous milestones for what should be a quick event

[neon dragon]

This is a ridiculous event. I’m lvl locked so can only get to lvl 42 Borg. I have to kill 200+ and can only kill 35 on one hull. Yet again scopley making the game horrific to play. And they wonder why people are quitting in droves.

[vestal cloak]

Sad thing is it's only day 3. In order to get the Qismas Grand prize, you need to finish all 12 days. No chance I'll finish this one so game over.

[inland matrix]

Level 35 must kill 550 borg probes to finish the event

[full tusk]

Getting punished for neglecting that Vidar/talios loop

[chrome void]

even those who haven't neglected it are being punished

[full tusk]

I think they accidently added a zero to the higher tier SMS , it was 3 rounds of 29s for OP 27 about 40 kills, now i guess if you cant kill the ones 3 level over your OP and obv 29s are the easiest to kill then it gets pretty rough but even the math changes dramatically. For me 40 kills on probes 3 levels over me , if you look at some of these screenshots that math does not seem to stay linear but exponential.

[chrome void]

my Talios is maxed for my OPS and I had to kill 220 of the probes I could reach without compromising my combat capabilities against them

[odd dock]

have you tried pike eurydice skinny mudd on an NX01? it can go anywhere and bash upto lvl52 borgs when its locked sub ops51 - does require a t4+ eury to have any reasonable chance

[neon dragon]

My NX01 is a baby. Eury is only lvl 5. Snw pike, snw uhura and T’laan is the best so far. But still only kills 50.

[digital pilot]

I did the option mentioned above here using the Eviscerator rift.
Worked wonders. OPS locked Talios could only reach 46 probes but a rift to 50 probes did speed it up.
Of course that requires some testing how far up your Talios can go and still defeat a decent amount of probes im one run.

[neon dragon]

Plus you need gorn stuff

[odd dock]

can always tal them to death in a big ship too ... if you got tal, a pike gg tal with paris and phugh below could probably dispatch probes quite high if you got a big bad ship with good warp range

[errant jetty]

This Event has now been determined to be quite costly in using Warp Core Tokens to fulfill the points requirements. All ships used quickly filled with Probe parts and taking 12 Warp Core Tokens just to reach tier shown. Could Warp Core Tokens be part of overall awards for completing Event?

[rustic tulip]

Hit level 40 probes

[full tusk]

You cant hit probes on your level or lower and hope to complete it you MUST hit well above your level

[lyric quiver]

Ops 51, need 13.3 billion points, highest my VT can reach are the 52s, and this an event required for the 12 days of Q, what the heck Scopely?

[errant jetty]

At lvl 35, with no access to lvl 40 probes. 3 ships, VI'Dar, Talos and B'Rel with expanded cargo. Lvl 33 Probes with high repair costs on B'Rel. The Probes in Hirogen territory don't count in Event points

[stoic linden]

What probes in Hirogen territory? Don't think there's any borg up there

[full tusk]

Its basically scored in such a way that if you hit probes bellow your level you will never finish it unless your crew allows you to never leave and in that case you certainly will be wasting a lot of cargo though maybe thats irrelevant if your just wanting to finish the 12 days event.

[lyric quiver]

I don’t even need the nanos, I get them from the exborg store so I don’t have to grind probes, this is infuriating

[novel mango]

<@&509690795536941056> the grind on this is not fun at all. This is a game not a job.

[lyric quiver]

And it’s part of the META, skip it and you’re boned

[full tusk]

someone post the first time meme, this is like the same chat on a loop for the last two weeks Scopely does not care

[errant jetty]

Up in the Samarklew area. Tried the Probes in Larrios, and discovered they don't score towards the Event. Most likely because they are called Borg Unicomplex Patrols, and not Probes

[ionic glade]

This whole arc has been one giant glowing sign 'we don't know our game and we don't care about our players' and we are all still here 🤣 we must be gluttons for punishment

[full tusk]

In my defense i just started in October , the game was looking very good until this month when they removed the old event structure and put in whatever this new junk is, It was all looking really good with the archives , the events i had lot of lat and speedups , everything was jiving real nice , now this month BAM just pulled the rug out on lat , speedups , gold recruit tokens , the new SMS for research and station cost more materials by 10 X than it gives you back. Its just a complete clown show this month

[novel mango]

Sadly they don’t care at all.

[sharp sonnet]

Brog probes: lvl 32 = 8,949 probes. Really? Game balance? lvl 31 probes - 23,433 probes. Does scopely know math? Hey how about regular hostiles at lvl 29 = 2,599,953 probes. Well done scopely, well done. closer and closer to quitting & getting my money back

[lyric quiver]

Just chatting with an ops 53 alliance mate and they need 33 billion but can only reach 52 probes, unreal

[errant jetty]

And thats it. 14 Warp Core Tokens and repairs for lvl 33 Borg Probes. As my Level doesn't allow access to higher level Token Systems, its all I can do. This is all I have to show for the attempt at finishing THIS Event....

[spring meteor]

I hope we get a comp chest for today's foolishness!😡

[lost totem]

OPs 50 seems to a sweet spot I think? Only needed 5 tokens killing level 48 probes with a t7 Talios

[stoic linden]

What ops level are you? Looks close to what I have to score at ops 35. I can complete it but it'll cost me 570 kills give or take and about 5 runs to do it.

[spring meteor]

This was the milestone for ops 36.

[strong mica]

i don't have the time to kill 219 lvl42 borgs.... y'all need to pull the stick out of your butts and get real.

[whole dirge]

Try the same but lvl 52s. Ops 52 needs 33 bil points to finish.

[potent trail]

<@&509690795536941056> I hope that future Dailies will be tweaked. Im not sure how an Ops 27 i supposed to even get close to finishing this.... Previous dailies were atleast attainable, like get x Building/research power, spend 30k ship exp, etc...... I am locked out of half the SMS and will most likely not be able to complete the "Ahead of the curve SMS".

This one, too.... I spend maybe 7 UC 3* on each building upgrade, and yet im supposed to spend atleast 900 UC 3* to finish this event. Please fix the dailies to be more appropriate for the ops levels

[short pier]

Hey Scopely, next time you feel like making a really high milestone hostile event, maybe check whether the ship you're making it for is one of the ones that's unable to punch up due to warp range restrictions first? Just a thought...

[short pier]

Like why do I even bother getting stronger ships when I still have to kill hundreds of hostiles because of warp range keeping me locked to hitting the same hostile level as my ops? You're literally stabbing yourselves in the foot by punishing players for leveling up.

[olive spear]

Worst events of all times in this month. How much lower can you still go?

[toxic kindle]

There is no possible way you did the math correctly on March of Progress SMS. The rewards are very poor, but i challenge you to prove an actual amount of players made milestone #1.

[spare temple]

Don’t ask, remember,they have another 9 days to improve the level of 💩 we are going to be expected to do.

[oblique ore]

not sure if i want to see the awnser...some people see such questions as challenge...🫣

[granite nymph]

50 mil for level 38 is like 200+ kills any at least 8 trips. If I had access to 4* common crystal I could maybe make it to level 40 probes but don’t know how many I could kill each run.

[reef sky]

So still no changes to absurdly high sms today huh? Nobody realised yet how dumb all of this is?

[granite nymph]

You would think for a Christmas event they would be more generous rather than stingy as …. It is like they are run by krampus or ebineezer. And they put slow mode on comments as well. Sheesh

[molten marlin]

slow mode has always been on

[oblique ore]

I think, the solution is simple that they don't work on sundays. So nobody realise the problem until work starts on Monday. The HQ is at the U.S. Westcoast. About 1 am there. Will still take a while until somebody begins to work there

[dense hollow]

@molten marlin do we have any updates re the borg probe event

[plain cradle]

#Completed

[tawny wraith]

at L42 I need 341.22M to complete the event, the highest probe I can reach with my (for this level) maxed out Talios is L42 which grants 1.55M points, so 221 kills to complete the event? that doesn't sound unreasonable at all 💩

[sharp iris]

What's with the stupid Borg Probe event what was the AI building meant for, i.e. completing these events, but hey no lets not put in the less grind method lets make it ridiculous that we want to push people out of the game, for the love of god scopley get a grip of your milestones, ridiculous, go from one of the best months to one of the worst, you all need to take a sense check on what your trying to achieve if its less player participation then keep this up, only a matter of time before more ppl rage quit over a stupid event that has ops locks for warp <@&509690795536941056>

[flint geyser]

How is this even matching

[outer verge]

matchmaking is getting worse and worse 😳

[dense valley]

Im ops 42 with T3 talios and had 10 probe system tokens and this is still the best I could manage, I now can't complete the full 12 days of qmas event well done scopely another nail in the coffin for f2p player's <@&509690795536941056>

[stoic linden]

Have you completed the Vidar archive? You get tokens from there I had over 20 this morning before this event

[dense valley]

Yeah that's how I had 10 tokens ready to go last night, to add insult to injury when I claimed my daily archive today I didn't pull a token from it

[high aurora]

Slap on Grush and punch up a level

[limpid galleon]

It does not help for the ops 42 guys, who is they punch up still have to kill 500 borg

[vestal cloak]

Can't believe there's been no response yet.

[spare berry]

Really Scopely?! Who other than 50+ players can even come close to finishing the holiday Borg event? I’ve killed nearly 300 probes in 3 full runs to the highest lvl (33) that my ships are able to reach and haven’t even cracked the first tier. I know I might have to do more than those who have bigger ships but this is ridiculous!

[toxic wraith]

What is point off having an arc event designer/runner if they can't be available to fix their own mistakes.. Bring back @wanton copper

[fiery depot]

My Tailos is level locked, I can't hit any higher than 38 even with warp range crew and I need to kill over 200 hostiles to complete it, please just give us the rewards scopley

[coral hatch]

What would a Christmas event be without some grinch-y/troll-y expectations in an event. Happy Holidays, spent it on your phone grinding.

[pliant pulsar]

This Borg event is nonsense.

[dark horizon]

Scopely !CARES ™

[uncut sentinel]

<@&509690795536941056> you are the ears of the Game. I pray that you give this feedback to the Arc Runner. If you are going to have a Special event that requires people to do BORG, give them a few extra Tokens to get to the space. I mean some players do use their 2 daily to improve their ship.

[dark horizon]

Just a thought, are you guys warping out from system once the cargo is full ? My Talios managed to get most kills in one run in the highest system i can reach, I had cargo full after 20 probes or so, but I just stayed for the kills, ignoring that I'm missing on loot.

[uncut sentinel]

I was not leaving until I died for the event, but just ran out of Warp Cells

[dark horizon]

this is mine after 1 run in the 50 system until i had full cargo, warp back to station then stayed in 52 system till the talios got destroyed -- considering it takes almost 100 probes to finish, the scoring is still bad
i used ent-e crew on deck, with odo/hugh below + w/e else i had available. I would have tried borg crew next (with seven capt for the double shots) but this ended up working ok

[lethal mountain]

Is there a defined schedule for Alliance Tournaments? I couldn't find it in the list of events for the arc, and didn't see it listed in any other notes. Just curious if I'm missing it. If not, could we get that added to a publicly available list somewhere?

[uncut sentinel]

@dark horizon do you repair when you warped home? But you are correct the event is poorly designed

[neon dragon]

I’m one warp point way from the 44s 🤷‍♀️. I did try that.

[dark horizon]

Yes, I did repair, but with how much loot i get from there (10x whatever the probe has usually), it didnt get banged much anyway by the time i had full cargo.

[high aurora]

Did you try having an alliance member use a gorn E and creating a rip? Yes, we should not HAVE to do this...but I'm just trying to help find a solution around a bad scoring design

[neon dragon]

It’s ok. I did it on 5 hulls and far too much time. I used my gorn stuff for armadas

[jagged current]

Cheapskates, no event loot in the rare tickets again. Guess I’ll save this weeks for later

[lethal mountain]

Mirror Upgrade events? Anyone??

[vestal cloak]

Can't believe they didn't address event fiascos. They must think everything is going well.

[keen plank]

is there anything you can already say regarding some event store additions/changes?

[gentle fox]

yes, there are supposed to be Mirror Upgrade events today. Will they be coming, or have they been canceled?
It's really frustrating when the published event schedule is wrong.

[rough scarab]

<@&509690795536941056> wasn’t there supposed to be a mirror upgrade sms/slb today?

[neon terrace]

@full swan Any news about upcoming Alliance Tournament?

[scarlet pawn]

This ^

[granite nymph]

You guys really need to put all these ‘heroic’ pay to win events under one tab rather than cluttering up the events list.

[craggy shoal]

xmas meta event being fomo event when ppl are traveling and spending time with their families and might not get to login...thats cheap

[full swan]

Yup. This is what I'v ebeen Will ask.

[full swan]

Think that was pushed back.

[full swan]

Should have an update about Tournaments later this week.

[lost totem]

If it is being pushed back (unless i missed it) where is the communication to players. Releasing communication AFTER the fact is kind of pointless and should have been addressed BEFORE the event was to be released

[left marlin]

@full swan Whelp another Arena PvP is up. And as usual I’ll be too rl busy for the next 6+ hours to participate except for maybe a match or two. Plz thank the Overlords for finally creating a mechanic that PvP fans have been clamoring for for years and then locking it behind a narrow time window so that many of us who want to engage are still excluded 🤦‍♂️

[half narwhal]

@full swan
I've had some questions arise about yesterday's QiSmas event, and it having required an unreasonable amount of grind for certain Ops levels.
Can I go back to those asking with a "They're looking in to it"?

[dense dune]

Arena is so imbalanced. 90 mill 110 mill and 21 mill power against 3 30mill power... who the heck are you kidding?

[daring ice]

@full swan Arena lag is terrible for everyone in my alliance, it is unplayable.

[balmy totem]

Having given it nearly a fortnight I can now say that the March of Progress event is genuinely offensive, the rewards are SO bad, the milestones SO unobtainable, I'm struggling to think of any other event as poorly designed as this that didn't get a dev / mod post apologising for it within the hour.

Just finished the SLB/RSLB spend event, where I got Top 25 in the regional SLB, mostly by spending on research and buildings. I am 20% of the way to the FIRST milestone after over a third (?) of the event. A milestone that, if I got there, would reward me 155 rare 5* ship parts. I currently have 38k rare parts stocked up for my Ent-E.

[dusky mortar]

G4 vs G5 in arenas.... why have you not sort3ed this out yet?

[fervent panther]

Because they are making money.

[honest bone]

Please please please @full swan sort us out a specialty building event!! 🙏 we’ve not had one for so long…

[lost totem]

G4 vs G5 in arenas IS possibke to beat. Not easy but possible especially with the lag. Besides you are on 703 as well and have ascended to G5 already too so the good news ia it wont be horrible forever.

[full swan]

Shoot. Passing on.

[full swan]

You can let them know we'll be adding an event next week that will have more event store currency.

[granite nymph]

Yea I remember when the ticketed quests gave officers and buying the battle bass got you ships and whole officers. They are getting really cheap

[pseudo lion]

Why has Scopely eliminated Sarris events? We're supposed to have 2 events per month. None this month and only 1 last month. Has Scopely given Paramount the finger over supporting these?

[sinful stratus]

Any comment that some players didn't get the 3rd day of q Christmas late? Along with the scoring issues?

[opaque hawk]

@full swan can they make it where spending the omega loot counts for MU spend events. Some of us are running out of stuff to spend the other MU materials on

[half narwhal]

Super, thank you so much.

[full swan]

That makes sense to me...

[stoic linden]

Does it count towards the qismas event too? If you missed the boat yesterday you'll miss the entire qismas event too

[full swan]

Hm. I'll ask.

[tame terrace]

<@&509690795536941056> I find arenas very unplayable so far today. Constantly being kicked out of the game, it has the red alert thingy at top, sometimes yellow alert, telling me there is a ship error when I try sending the ship 🙄🙄

[strong anchor]

How about mixing some recruit tokens rewards back into some events? Sourcing all these officers is hard enough without a growing graveyard of locked epics

[full swan]

That's consistant with what I've been hearing today...

[void light]

Pretty much what happens every week. Arena has been a disaster of lag and poor matchmaking

[tame terrace]

I also just had one ship NOT repair when the arena finished 😳😳. That was a first.

[compact tiger]

I think you should seriously consider limiting the ships usable in Arena.

[pseudo walrus]

if you dont want to fix arena maybe you can give us the option to filter opponents out of the arenas and charge us for it since money is all you listen to

[earnest grove]

Nice job on the arena match making Scopely 🤣

[tame terrace]

Personally I dislike the “ready” button on the arena

[lyric quiver]

Here I sit for the last hour and can’t get a squad of 3

[opaque hawk]

yep, in a team, trying to go to our match, enter arena button does nothing, cant go to system/galaxy view, great mode, glad rewards are locked behind it....

[tame terrace]

Don’t give them any ideas 🤣🤣🤣

[fading basin]

Why does the rare ticket events not have event store currency? I can only see recruit tokens

[lean cargo]

Because scopely heard our feedback, and after careful consideration and monitoring of the situation decided to improve the player game experience by removing it.

[amber pasture]

March of progress feels like you multiplied it by a factor of 10. I have gone from 53-55 and gained 69m... but i am expected to get 655m which would put me around 800m which would be more inline with an ops 61+ player (on a server currently capped at 60) so its impossible even if i did spend 10s of thousands.

[reef sky]

Although I agree with you, bear in mind that research power increase has a multiplier so it’s not 800mio direct power increase. But it is x10 too much

[neon terrace]

About this event... I've gone from 59 to 60. Biggest step in my game. Still not able to reach first milestone. Over 150 building levels and over 300 researches done (including FC ones). Last milestone for me is 1,68B. I have 92m points right now.

[copper shadow]

i don't think the march event is truly possible unless you only have lv1 researched available for that huge jump in power. The event was just made to force everyone to feel like they had to ops up or do 1million research to get less then a penny of pixel ship parts. The real problem is players are falling for it and actually trying to do the event it's not even about the rewards when you think about it

[neon terrace]

Honestly, I just jumped on the so many simultaneously spending events. And thought before it that: "meanwhile I win those spending events I can finish that march event too". So wasn't the main reason, nor secondary. Just finishing that too would make me even happier. But no. Still rewards not that great for an almost impossible event.

[copper shadow]

yep and I as well as other players have done the same did other spend events which in turn put points towards march event but march event as a whole is a complete fail and to think if I remember the q&a right they were talking about that feature being a consistent thing for next few months

[lethal mountain]

Well, two weeks in on the “spend to OPs 70” event and I just crossed the 10% of the 1st tier threshold! At least when OPs 70 was first released, you gave people a few months to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars with the new ship events. All this event tells me, as a player, is that you either aren’t even trying or you are clueless of what you were actually asking for with this event. FYI, there are two players with 5.4B power total after six years. But sure, I could knock that out in a month.

[verbal crescent]

The Arena event needs to be on a day other than Monday. Tuesday would be good, since there are no mining events or territory captures.

[celest jay]

CAN WE PLEASE do something about these new events. (OPS50) I had to spend 300k latinum today just co complete the building and research upgrade SMS. I've spent 2 full BPs and a treasury of resources and 4M latinum and I'm not even at the 2nd tier for March or Progress. Ahead of the curve, well, I can tell you that apparently, I'm not ahead of the curve, as after completing 90% of the SMSs and a placing in a couple leader boards, I'm just a tad over half way. The milestones are way to much and require way to much time, money, and resources, you're gonna drive people to quit.

[wanton summit]

I'm telling my alliance to do what they can without depleting stuff because the officers on offer this month are not worth the effort.

[worldly tiger]

If they don't put back in SOMETHING that rewards people for actually playing and yes, SOME benefits for managing their resources efficiently to meet event requirements, people will quit in droves, it's ridiculous that EVERY big event is a spend event that cannot be met without either doing literally no preogression for a year first or else buying mutiple $99 pops.

[sour sapphire]

Just fyi, arena issues were plentiful yesterday. Armadas freezing, ships unable to join armadas, ships unable to target other players, and ofc the matchups remain a problem - throwing in ops 67s against ops 62s is ridiculous. Server 86, I have players refusing to do arena at all at this point due to all of the frustration involved. It’s a good concept, personally I like it, but the poor execution and glitches are huge deterrents for many people.

[old mason]

I agree. I told my alliance the same thing.
I pushed and picked up the old man s character. Not because I wanted him but because it was time for me to push to lvl 50. I finished 3rd in the second slb last week. That never happens which shows the lack of people spending on these new officers.

[ocean crypt]

where's the bells for 10 Q's trials, irrelevent that can be done with half the max kills a day

[novel mango]

<@&509690795536941056> is this bugged? Did mission didn’t get might point but got no more missions!

[molten marlin]

1 mission, that is supposed to award 100 points to complete the event, but is only giving 10

[novel mango]

Killing more ships is working for event even though it already completed. #quality

[languid marlin]

Every few days is another spend materials event with multiple spend material SLB's per week. How is f2p supposed to complete any of the new sms events on a regular basis?

[novel mango]

They don’t care about that.

[manic estuary]

So either cube parts don't work or daily ship event broken

[molten marlin]

cube parts don't work, it's uncommon parts or higher

[icy marsh]

@full swan stop it with all these stupid mat spending events, this is just utterly ridiculous

[loud plover]

would really like to hear anything back on the borg milestone that was to high for many to finish the qmas event

[manic estuary]

4* uncommon battleship parts?

[gaunt wraith]

Facts

[keen egret]

Did you go to the system in the description to get the mission?

[opaque hawk]

can we please get 1 or 2 more material spend events, im not quite out of everything yet....
Also, started this month at ops 56, now ops 59, with every building upgraded to 59, most of my research caught up, and still havent hit the 1st milestone in the gain power meta event.....

[old mason]

[turbid coyote]

the cooldown on nsea blueprints in the invasion event store is so frustrating and unnecessary. no, i’m not going to just buy the ship, especially when you dont even sell partial packs (always dumb, many people would buy them)

[molten marlin]

they have sold partials for the nsea before

[ruby summit]

@full swan 12 days of qismas. Where is zihu?

[molten marlin]

zihu is the planet, the system is amador

[ruby summit]

@molten marlin thank you

[turbid coyote]

they haven’t for the last 3 months, and believe me i’ve been looking. with the size of the store there’s no reason not to have those packs there permanently 🤷‍♀️

[full tusk]

Ugggggg another tuesday another 1000 hostiles to kill - 75 points for some trial bells because at OP 27 i CANT CLEAR A PILLAR YET , ugggggggggggggggg

[hollow nimbus]

Now be fair, it's ONLY 925 after you spend the bells. Makes it totally doable. /s

[full tusk]

Pre ascension server also so for invasion IMS we cant spend blue particles or get to chimeras so that 10 million points might as well say infinity even if we had 2 k players that all did 2 k kills thats only around 4-8 million points depending on if they are worth 1-8 points and obviously there are not 2 k players on a pre ascension server. Why Cant you guys at least give realistic numbers do you not have a single person on the staff that passed College algebra ?

[green mica]

Why are there fatu krey in gorn systems during a gorn hunting event? Really scopely??

[celest jay]

Someone was using their Fatu-Krey fleshlight and clicked the wrong system ...

[potent fog]

Clearly $copely think their entire player base are wealthy enough to just buy the bells 🤷‍♂️ that’s why they keep giving us events we can’t beat unless we spend real money. Take for example, the recent waves event which L39s have been getting which require a ship you can only build when your shipyard is L42, or today’s Gorn event which even my strongest ship and best crew at L40 can’t beat, unless I buy the Eviscerator from the store…all for the incredibly rare holiday tokens for the ship event on the event store as a reward…

Compensation chests please…for us all. Now. 😅

@full swan, care to comment? Seems you’re important here 😛

[covert zephyr]

@full swan Hey, will there be any additions to the event store at this stage or is it locked in?
The Gorn Eviscerator parts seem to be significantly behind other loops and while I bought the 10x cap, more would be great
The NX01 parts don't seem to scale like some of the modern loop parts bundles. It's not even a single days refinery in terms of volume, any chance it can be looked at even for the next event store?

[full swan]

There should be more additions coming. Dunno if Evi Parts will be increased...

[heady dragon]

@full swan Is it intended that all of the Chimeras are locked behind ops-locked warp paths that nobody on server 705 can reach because we're stuck at level 50? It makes the IMS basically impossible for us to complete.

[tropic sigil]

We probably shouldn't ask for arenas to run on arc fall day... 90% of them need a few days to iron out the kinks. Having 1/4 of your arenas on the highest lag day each month would upset a few more people. Also, they added the whip because they want people actively mining for their points not sitting in lucrative space with 6 surveys. You're lucky you have ROE that protects that kind of nonsense 😅

[full tusk]

our server now a solid 6 hours into this event has done 0.0021 % ( 20% of 1 %) of the points needed for the IMS , we are pre ascension . We cannot get to the things that score realistic numbers , we have lots of active people but this is not realistic math.

[lime prawn]

Any timeline on when we might expect to see the additions?

[full swan]

https://tenor.com/view/soon-hamster-gif-4508050

[opaque hawk]

A 48 can hit as low as 31, and a 31 should be able to hit as high as a 48, also by the looks of it you were in territory, where there is no level banding. so anyone can hit anyone.

[jade kiln]

they really need to add more Ultra Recruit tokens as rewards now that they've changed up the weekly events. Barely get any anymore.

[full tusk]

Pretty sure thats working as intended , they meant to starve us of lat and gold tokens and speedups

[hazy nimbus]

Please add NSEA BPs to the arc event store.

[quick pebble]

Or atleast remove the 12 bp per day limitations. Its hard to wait for months when we already have to currency to buy the BPs

[zealous ridge]

This Tuesday Tech spend your trial bells weekly is very annoying. It needs an extra bell gift or reducing the threshold to match the max 75.

[pale panther]

This is still showing up every few secs can it be fixed @full swan

[tropic sigil]

You can get more bells here, with the ferengi whip refinery, or kill hostiles for your difference. You can also hold manage your bells so that you have more than 75 on Tuesday at reset, then use those and get 80 more from your daily claim, then get 80 more before the event finishes. You can also skip this event if you can't be bothered to participate.

[granite stirrup]

You can Just ist three Ships in lowest three Augment Systems

[strong mica]

Y'all need to condense the 75 separate event cards into a handful of folders and/or move completed events to the end. It is extremely frustrating to have to scroll past dozens of events that:

A) have been completed

or

B) are Pay 2 Complete "Heroics" that, I, as a f2p player, have no desire to bother with.

[rapid swallow]

Hello dear Scopely team, seriously: WHO came up with the - sorry - nonsense with the Fatu-Krey? Not only that they have about as much to do with Star Trek as potatoes have to do with a pineapple... You will never get the "remains" exchanged if the "Remains Shop" only allows you to exchange them during the event and only every 24 hours! Honestly? It doesn't exactly put you in a "good mood" and you feel "fooled" by Scopely when you shoot down a lot of Fatu Krey to get into the ranks. Best regards... Frankenfurther

[neon terrace]

Are you new here?

[rapid swallow]

Depends on how you define "new"! Why? Or did you just want to add your two cents? 😉

[neon terrace]

Because this is a "problem" we have more than 4 months ago and you just came up with it now. 🤷

[rapid swallow]

Can't missing logic be described as such more often if nothing changes? Scopely should know that they don't make friends with such a policy, right?

[lost phoenix]

The performance and accuracy of the display in Silvia for the fetu krey event is unplayable. There is no relationship between where two ships are on the map and how many seconds it will take to get to them. Battles are taking anywhere from five to 12 seconds instead of the normal five. Really have no idea what to do given how inaccurate the map is

[spring meteor]

That's because it says you have to destroy 10 hostiles. So there's the 100 points.

[uncut fable]

This Fatu Sarris invasion event needs to be deleted.. it causes so many lag and server problems every time it comes around

[neon terrace]

Sometimes that work, sometimes not. By this time everybody could get the ship or whatever you want from there, unless you are new (which I asked). Though changing this Cooldown now would be unfair against for those who waited and collected it patiently. When it was released I was on the same opinion as you, but it is the past. But we have new problems which are more relevant, like March event, bad event store, bad daily events, etc. We should concentrate on these, because for example new daily events are really bad in a long term view.

[uncut fable]

you can agree to disagree with my statement but seriously they need to take it down and recode it.... because clearly there are problems now that didn't happen until this event started back up

[rapid swallow]

Of course, I agree with you about the new daily events. These are - without the excessive use of financial resources - unplayable and unmanageable. As far as the other things are concerned, I'm not quite sure what is meant and therefore I can't afford to give an opinion. Nevertheless, I think that this Fatu-Krey event is a nuisance that should be abolished, or at least changed. And to come back to the "new". I've been in the game since January. Whether you want to call this "new" is ultimately up to you. And YES.. Unfortunately, there are always some annoyances in the game. Which of these should be "priority", however, is probably a matter of opinion. 😉 But I'm out for today and therefore wish you a nice evening.

[compact ether]

So the Black Market Finale officer is one you could get with Transporter Patterns? Totally worth holding out for. 🙄

[copper fossil]

the Black Market Finale title and the officer paired with it🤦🏻‍♂️ happened the second time

[vale harness]

Good lord. Does scopely think they put out enough events today? Took me 5 minutes to scroll through all of them to see which ones i could do without breaking out the CC.

[north ledge]

Guys, I do not even care about the black mumbo jumbo stuff, but.. if you are running a SLB event where you hope players might spend on packs of event store loot to place better there, perhaps it would be a good idea to not have an officer that is in Transporter patterns for quite some time and most of the players that would spend on those pack have already maxed. This is not an incentive at all.

[formal musk]

super disappointing to have a multiple year old transporter pattern officer as the 'chase' officer from this event.

[neon terrace]

Representative of the current event store 😂

@full swan This again 24k points. Last time you reduced it to 16k points. Why change it back?

[hollow lichen]

same reason they bumped up the syndicate milestones, it was 'too easy'

[hollow nimbus]

May as well be a million points. If I spent every rare directive I've gotten since I started playing I woudn't hit the 3rd milestone. Freezing out low level players yet again from the catch up mechanism. Makes total sense.

[frank basin]

@full swan why i don't have the event ???

[formal musk]

Did you top 25 one of the placement events for a rare officer?

[full portal]

Why you change Beckett Mariner for Docktor T"Ana?
Back Mariner!

[queen hearth]

new dailies still suck.

[zenith wing]

Mariner is in the Cerritos refinery, Cerritos event, ultra recruits, and transporter patterns. t'ana is nowhere. it's a hugely welcome change for almost everyone

[lime prawn]

You're joking, right? This is way better.

[dapper kraken]

I like the change in daily/weekly event structure, however there was no change to how players are able to get the currency/directives in order to use them to play. Please reevaluate this. You’re quickly only going to have folks who can pay to purchase materials participating in the events.

[stoic linden]

@full swan last week we discussed how it was possible to do the fkr armadas when sourcing directives is nearly impossible or too slow for a weekly like this. Any updates to what's happening here?

[dapper path]

7 days left to complete the event, but event store will close in 6…

[full swan]

Hmmm. I had heard that the event store was going to be open till the 27th.... will double check.

[stoic linden]

So the event asks for an insane amount of epics and rare armadas to be run but without parting the hard earned cash your weekly is more realistically a quarterly event. Hence the let's get better sourcing for directives that was discussed last week

[stoic linden]

Here's the link #💬-events-feedback message

[limpid vessel]

@full swan Could you please check if they are willing to finally correct the March Of Progress? I do not know a single player who even is close to the first milestone! Someone obviously made a calculation error.

[scenic vale]

<@&509690795536941056> please announce the incursion dates if happening in advance as possible since it's the xmas holidays and nye and alliance members would like to know now to move and relocate rather be unreachable during the incursions

[hollow flare]

Can we get an overhaul of the events page in 2025? as of writing this message there is: 21 solo event tabs and 4 "combined" event tabs containing a further 24 events and it is an absolute nightmare to navigate, it would also be nice if you could tap / click the popup you get when you earn event points to go directly that events page to see your progress, see screenshot for the pop up I mean, with so many events I often miss them and instead of being able to click the pop up to see the event I instead of have to scroll left and right through 40+ events to find the one I'm looking for

[odd osprey]

@full swan @near saddle any idea how I managed this point total for the event -

[fervent flame]

This ☝🏻

[neon terrace]

Since event store ending getting closer. When will the promised event store change happen? Or the change will be the end of it?

[obsidian ether]

no more daily officer shards events ?

[molten marlin]

no

[solid tangle]

Could you please organize these events in groups or folders and not just throw them in randomly? The scrolling is getting ridiculous and I overlook some of them. Put the heroic ones in a separate folder. That would be a start.

[icy marsh]

Can you guys add some stuff to the store like seven FC or vindicator bp or something? Even old officers like EntE or voyager or so....This current store has awful old and useless stuff. The PvP officers aren't even a good use right now

[torpid marten]

They don't put them there randomly, no. They put it on to tempt compulsive buyers, And there are quite a few, That's why they do it

[obsidian ether]

Hate PVP Realta event. Nobody fights PVP anyways, have to kill 50 low level hostiles, spend 2 relocation tokens each time to get to low level system and get back.

[torpid marten]

I have only been able to make one chimera, you have not given me any more to make. This is a disgrace, Scopely, you are getting worse and worse.

[solar plover]

so I grind 100M Fatu-Key scrap to use on a single daily chest pull that only gives me 50 Blue Particles, not enough to run an event Armada? please increase the # of chest pulls available and/or cut that chest cooldown timer in half

[torpid marten]

It's Scopely's policy: I'm going to give you a pittance, and so you can see that I'm generous, I'm going to give it to you in comfortable installments of 30 mini pittance.🤪

[full swan]

Updates to the store are coming next week.

[wise wasp]

smart, after Black Market Finale😡 I suppose

[scenic vale]

6000 for rare start + bonus 5000 for using the chaos tech while defeating it?

[opal dock]

Game events crap n costly

[earnest thunder]

It's a shame that the events are becoming more and more pay to win, without you putting in 100€ no new ship and about 30% of the events are not included in one pass plus about 10-20% Prime/artefak

[neon jay]

One time I got zero blue particles two days in a row—so no chimeras

[short pier]

"Hey guys check out this new holiday projectile... which you can't get if you didn't spend $100 on a ship and then also buy a bunch of directives to get ahead of the whales!"
You really can't throw us a bone for a holiday item?

[rough scarab]

For +5% iso defense at that 🤣

[earnest thunder]

Feedback also limit by short answers to illustrate the discontent and incompetence that it is only about the money of the active players. Instead of feedback from the people who are really fans of StarTrek

[short pier]

I get that Scopely needs to make money. But all these events being disguised as free content that you actually need to have spend $100 for is gross and deceptive, doubly so when you wrap them in "fun holiday event!" Seriously, everyone who is going to buy a Revenant has already bought one. You're not convincing anyone who wasn't already convinced by the first 8 locked events.

[loud plover]

so paid Christmas event( must have the new ship 100$) you are not listening to players about this arc... there is just no way... the milestones have been insane, every time you've brought out these '' extra'' events for the store currency for end arc they've been mostly paid for events because of the ship so the so called '' extra chances'' for store currency is not a real one for most of the playerbase AND NOW the Christmas event is going to have the same problem is just horrendous

[rough scarab]

Gotta get us to buy that parts pack too you know? How else can you win the damage slbs? 😂 and ofc the directives pack too

[short pier]

Yeah, another layer of deception, because even if you buy the ship now you won't be able to really compete unless you have generous alliance members running them for you. It's really gross, and I fully believe Scopely is aware how unethical this is.

[rough scarab]

At least they put “heroic” for the slay bells unlock sms so you know “nope unless 💳”

[deep halo]

Look like some one sell only few revenants🤭🤭

[random knoll]

Holiday events almost always have a pay-only portion, I don't know why everyone reacts like it's the first time. Just don't participate in them if you don't want to.

[short pier]

Because, I said before, the manner in which they're going about this one (the armada damage event mostly) is very deceptive. It's not just that it's pay-only. The amount you will need to spend is entirely unpredictable. And without this event, the entire event including the non-heroic events, may as well not exist and are just more events to scroll through and more pings to ignore. There are ways to have whale events that are more more ethical than this and they have done many such events in the past.

[opal dock]

Lost 100 blue particles on chimera mada server disconnected reconnected disconnected not happy scopley my ship was in circle fix your servers and coding 😪

[full swan]

Maybe ping support to see if they can replace them?

[opal dock]

I doubt it im giving up again

[quartz wind]

Spotted a little problem with the 12days of QiSMAS, we might need a store extension unless one is already planned

[molten marlin]

it is being extended

[past shadow]

I'm OPS 59 with a fully developed cube (for me) and have to compete with OPS 69 cubes? Seriously? Are you kidding or just not noticing?

[icy marsh]

Why have this update AFTER the finale spend event then? Can you at least tell us what to expect? This update coming so late is awful and player unfriendly

[graceful tundra]

Why is everything always busted, for a game that charges what you charge there should be a little bit more stability.

[past shadow]

because we go quality over quantity

[vale harness]

Game is laggy

[fallow swan]

Weeks almost over any chance we can get that update before the holidays?

[signal canopy]

How can servers without ascension do these upcoming SS Reverent events if they apply to level 38+ again?

[tribal granite]

I feel like the scoring for the Holiday Marathon (Heroic) - SMS event is overkill, even for a pay event. I punched up from OPs 49 to OPs 54, and leveled some ships, and did some research, and I'm still less than 2/3rds of the way to the end goal...

[warm kestrel]

who's idea was it to have this many events? takes 5 mins to scroll from one end to the other. I need a pad of paper just to keep up w/o having to go back into the event menu every other 5 mins. do yo u track our click count? have we fallen below standard? give us some control over these event tiles, move ones we want to focus on to the left and move the completed or lower priority events to the right, please and thank you

[opaque hawk]

@full swan we need a hide completed toggle in events, so we can just see the ones we still need to do if yall gonna have this many running at once...

[hollow lichen]

Not a chance, they don't want us saving for the free 10k point ones so it will drop at random

[green berry]

Because we keep giving them money

[fluid gust]

I'd rather see an archive button like with missions.
there aren't just completed events i don't want to see, but also events i know I'm not going to complete(heroic heroic quantum heroic should've-been-heroic heroic)

[opaque hawk]

Yeah but you know someone would archive one then complain they didn't see or get it when it's their own fault.

[bleak basin]

I love seeing invasion... we heard it was initially supposed to be twice a month and I would love to see that again

[balmy totem]

Lads you appear to have launched a HEROIC sms "event" that rewards something worth less than half of one rare officer shard? Not that I'd "complete it" even if it gave 10x the reward but....?

I mean I know this >> CHRISTMAS<< event store is absolutely abysmal so maybe it's a good thing people have no currency to spend in it (?)

[opaque hawk]

@full swan tickets?

Anyone missing the free tickets for the Ticketed events? Don't seem to have any

[versed token]

not that I care anyways, but doesn't seem to fit fixed

[woven kettle]

Came to report the same on meta. No weapon refit shards in sight. Except personally I do care, I would like to get that weapon refit! 🤣

[lyric quiver]

Why so many grind events and all have to be done in 24 hours? I count 7 events with basically no synergy so that’s 7 events to grind out

[woven kettle]

Seeing the 30 shards now 👍

[errant belfry]

great idea but can you Imagine how bad they would screw up something that complex and personalized... trembles in fear

[torpid marten]

I have a question, scopely, will you give more parts of the projectile? Or is it something else that will be left half-finished in our inventory? Like so many things

[alpine topaz]

7 heroics. Seriously. Spend $700 on a game just this week.

Oh, and Merry Christmas, good luck getting the Slay Bells gift if you haven't bought the ship and aren't doing stuff like...Travelling...3 days before Christmas.

Anyone else remember the old days when a gift was a gift?

[halcyon kite]

A gift gas always been a grift

[short ermine]

Points not being added when the latest event is complete, at least 5 reports of this in my alliance

[dusty shell]

Maybe it is just me, but I just finished the Kill Fed event and noticed that my Kilgon Rep has fallen. This makes no sense. Is anyone else noticing this?

[verbal crag]

me too.

[grand eagle]

so no info on how they expect people thats ops 40+ to be able to finish there march of progress - sms

[fallow swan]

What happened to the update about alliance tournaments

[quaint burrow]

Holy grind the holiday away batman 😭😂😭😂

[left marlin]

@full swan Thanks for the update! But many of us are still waiting to hear when we’ll get Alliance Tournaments again. I know they’re trying to make improvements. But that shouldn’t keep you from putting it out every month. Even in its current flawed form, it still better than nothing at all. If some don’t like it, then let them sit it out. But those of us who want to engage in Tournaments should be allowed that option. Thx 👍🖖

[grand eagle]

did the math if i only upgraded defense platforms i would need to upgrade 3k from lvl 52 to 53 to be able to finish the event

[full swan]

Shuold be an announcement about AT next week.

[full swan]

Raising

[vale musk]

Same here

[strong anchor]

I’ve done every Q’smas event. 8 of them. Only 700 points? Is that right? Seems like Gorn didn’t count on the meta today

[celest jay]

Multiple events have had the delayed score issue, relog, tends to fix it.

[vagrant topaz]

Holiday event is just a Scopely cash grab all the f2p content is underwhelming at best 💰

[neon terrace]

@full swan
Where is the promised update about Alliance tournament? Or the update is that it won't happen?

[elder fern]

Could we… uh… pretty please keep the Sarris Invasion store open a little longer? I’d really like to unlock my Protector now instead of in a month. 😅

[wise wasp]

@full swan when will be solved? do we need to open a case to the CS?

[strong anchor]

It’s been an hour. I’ve tried restarting and clearing localization. Still not showing points on Meta for the Gorn grind today

[short ermine]

Many in my alliance has had this too.
I mentioned it earlier, still stuck at 700
#💬-events-feedback message

[full swan]

Still not scoring?

[patent river]

still not....

[wise wasp]

well, Ive done my event right after reset. I came with late report now, I was hoping points coming in meantime.

[vale musk]

👆

[lilac prairie]

Been 4 hours now still not got the points

[thorn belfry]

Alliance tournament waiting room 🙂

[woeful raven]

same here

[keen egret]

Same issue.

[crimson ravine]

@full swan I may be tired and going crazy from the years of playing this game... but server 138 does not seem to appear on the incursion schedule ... are we being sent to a black hole??

[ornate scroll]

s155 is neither listed in the server pairings for incursion nor mentioned doing a bye week... - please let us know what to expect!

[pure raptor]

Neither are we so I guess it’s vs us

[strong anchor]

Is anything being done about the missing meta points today reported by so many players?

[full swan]

Yup. We'll be sending out a chest tomorrow with the missing ~~Holiday currency.~~meta points

[patent river]

don't forget the fruit cake!

[copper robin]

On Infinite Incursions, what does servers on BYE mean?

[zenith wing]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bye_(sports)
basically "you're not participating in incursions this time", usually either because of an odd number of servers needing 1v1 matchups in a given region or due to being too new.

[copper robin]

thank you

[mystic niche]

Is 93 seriously being paired with 86 for the 3rd incursion in a row?

[shy spindle]

Q's Holiday Challenge is (sadly) bugged too

[peak sparrow]

this event is the worst ever. I made over 3 OPS Level in G6 (from OPS 59 to 63 incl. Docks, defense platforms, etc.) and still haven't even finished the first Milestone. "How bad and unreachable can an event be?!" Scopely: "Yes"

[turbid coyote]

either ditch the eclipse event from ticketed events or at least make hull damage to armadas count. shouldn’t have to hit 66 surveys for one lame event.

[thick knot]

<@&509690795536941056> Are there any special building upgrade SLBs planned for? Pretty sure we didn't have one last month either meanwhile this is the second special ship upgrade SLB in a row right now.

[thorn belfry]

?

[orchid token]

#💬-events-feedback message

Let’s check after reset else open up an ingame support ticket again

[potent trail]

<@&509690795536941056> My SMS scored for the wrong meta....

Never mind, the Holiday challenge meta SMS updated... but still strange, i have 1000 points for the 12 days of qismas event

[small narwhal]

The free gift is also scoring towards the 12 days event. I think that’s because the gorn event yesterday didn’t score towards the meta for a lot of players.

[opaque girder]

Add the Protector to the event ships

[worldly terrace]

Put the NSEA back in the event store

[tranquil crescent]

Has the chest been sent out? because I've done all the day SMSes, but I'm 100 points short - 800 pts on the day of "9 Disguises Donned" (completed)

[sullen oar]

There was no mention of territory reset on the blog. I believe it’s due around 1/14/25? Can we get confirmation on when it will occur? Thanks

[small narwhal]

It was sent out today (a gift that had 6k event store tokens and also scored 100 points in the meta). Was yesterday’s event the only problem or did you miss something else?

[proven sparrow]

think u missed some 🫣

[vale harness]

I heard scopely may be offering a token transfer to another server for upper ops lvls. Is there any truth behind this and if so, how much?

[boreal coyote]

I know this is an “older” topic right now, but I won’t even hit tier one this was really really bad design. Frankly, it’s rather insulting taken all together. The milestones, the rewards, the proof that yall don’t even know your own game.

[vagrant topaz]

999$ 🐳 Holiday experience package will be called the token package. The return flight then costs 499$ extra

[restive lotus]

Just wanted to put out there regarding arena in case someone is listening. My alliance is pretty small-22 people - and only 3 of us are over 47 or within range to form a squad. The only time we tried it we were so wildly mismatched, the others don't want to try again. I think possibly the mismatch was corrected and I'd like to try again but the others do not. Basically, nobody wants to play with me, lol. It would be great if there was some kind of wave-like experience where people from any alliance could join in together.

[nimble dragon]

I finally get a few vacation weeks and was looking forward to trying arenas as the run time is when I’m at work. Oh well.

[tranquil crescent]

I've looked at these '12 days' events every day, and make sure I clear the SMS (often accidentally, because the hostile kills trigger the end before I get do the Mission), so this is infuriating 😦 (Although not always at the Meta point score, hence missing this at first) Meanwhile I gather I wouldn't have been able to get the 75 Projectile Shards needed for the other Holiday Q, because I didn't get the Borg Protocol SLB - which I can understand, even if not ideal, because I can't do those odd new Borg armadas yet anyway. Seems I'm not having much of a run up to Christmas with Scopely and STFC.

[alpine topaz]

March of progress. I went up from finishing off 56 and levelled to 58 with all the included build requirements, tiered a t10 sanctus, maxed a jelly, a korinar, a pilum, and some random miners plus built an Ent A and took it to t11. Not to mention gobs of research. Not even halfway to the first milestone.

[astral forum]

I guess lower ops lvls don't have to worry about the outrageous milestones

[hollow lichen]

You also get outrageously useless rewards

[novel mango]

To ha new dailies suck so I am not even trying.

[vale harness]

7 Heroic events ( pay to play) This is ridiculous

[cunning chasm]

I don't even bother, not going to hinder my progress by wasting stuff just for sake of event, Sigma speedups are 1.5m Latinum per day so... unless having like quadrillion of it..

Also Scopely, Incursions in mid of holidays? TSK TSK TSK, no thanks.

[keen plank]

<@&509690795536941056> At this point it is 100% clear that the arc runner made a mistake with the math in March of Progress, any chance they will own their mistake and adjust the milestones? It would be a nice Christmas miracle 😉

[boreal coyote]

I’m going to say. I don’t think the ideas of the new dailies are terrible at all and we all know they have needed updating for a long time. Like the event I posted, scopley doesn’t understand the “semi-normal” patterns of players. The milestones / rewards or the SLB nature are a bit ruff on the new dailies. The fact that they went from “place” in the events for the monthly, to be in the top 2 was a gut punch to a monthly that like 1% will even hit tier one on. I like some of the new dailies, But they are not long term sustainable. How can we constantly upgrade FCs. It’s a limited list, same with FTs. Not like they are handing them out. Also rewards as usual, feel off. Updated FCs ranking pays like 1.5 gr chests for first, just over one for second, and not even one pull for 3rd. The other part of the equation is they have taken away rewards that we were all used to in the old dailies. Without letting us know if alternative sourcing would/will be available. They have to know this would be seen as at the very least, disruptive. So I think if they listen to players this might turn into a net positive for the game…. Just not yet….

[steady anchor]

Setting one of the 12 days events to build/research only was a terrible idea.

[floral folio]

The ‘gain power’ events (e.g. 10 Buildings Built) that exclude ship or officer XP feel totally uncalled for and targeted at discouraging your biggest spenders. Some of us newer servers are at our upgrade limit. I guess I don’t need to but event tickets, but I feel left out of holiday events too.

Please unlock ascension II, add ship xp/officer xp, or otherwise fix these events.

[green mica]

<@&509690795536941056> where is the MU dust sms?

[molten marlin]

There isn't one.

[green mica]

Yes there is:

[molten marlin]

No there isn't

That was an error

[opaque hawk]

you gotta be kidding me, day 10 is gain power..... ive already gained 150 million power this month, running out of crap to do...

[sinful stratus]

While we appreciate the info, it still feels like getting hit with a bag of rocks

[finite pelican]

How can you have two servers have a incursion event when one has accession and one don't?

[lone turret]

Any word on if they are going to add more to the arc event reward store? I thought that was in the works sometime back.

[molten marlin]

after the slb ends

so probably tomorrow or later in the week

[fluid moat]

So silly we almost had this matchup last time they canceled incursions

[finite pelican]

With scoply you never know!

[turbid hamlet]

I hate this format of an event. There is no overall calendar of how many events and which ones will count to score towards, giving a clear idea of what need to do to finish it. The format of an event we had last year to get the Epic Officer shards which MUCH better than this Mystery guessing game.

[woven kettle]

There’s in game news that lists what counts

[turbid hamlet]

That is a cluster of info that is not at all easy to following along, along with some of the material costs involved with those SMS to even finish off. It is a bad format.

[queen kindle]

They tried to make it as regular as possible. There are 4 daily events that count: the pinnacle of power event that alternates hostiles/mining, one SLB, and two 12h events all in your daily bucket. Then there are a set of weekly events that are always running at the same time of the week, eg. lat rush is on Mondays.

[potent trail]

Whats a good way to give feedback to developers other than discord? Still not happy about not being able to complete Ahead of the Curve SMS because im locked out of half of the SMS at my ops level...

[queen kindle]

Discord is probably the best. You can try messaging the Community Managers directly.
What level are you?

[potent trail]

Ops 27.... I have artifact SMS which i cannot possibly complete, the FC SMS and building/research upgrade SMS may be completed once before being impossible to complete again

[floral folio]

The arena credit chest only had 3300 emblems in it. Anyone can and should run enough arenas to get a week's worth of 1200 chest pulls. Please send more emblems (5100 more) 😢

[fluid moat]

Yeah this is a kick in the teeth

[onyx otter]

Happened to our server forcing ours to ascend…

[finite pelican]

We been asking but scoply needs to push the button and allow 405 to ascend. <@&509690795536941056>

[round tartan]

I just realized that I'm missing battle pass points, it's a pain because I always work on the events, ALL THE EVENTS AND I DID NOT SKIPPED ANY!! How can it be that in all these years that I've played they can make the calculations wrong, terrible, bad, and the compensation is crap. I present it to the public because I'm the only one that has happened to it and the assistant BOT doesn't even work.

[fluid moat]

click missing event rewards u will get real person

[lyric quiver]

We should get arena emblems weekly till arenas is brought back, not sure if that’s happening but it should if it isn’t the case.

[queen hearth]

new dailies suck.

[dim vortex]

@near saddle mate can you sort out the arena comp it needs to be 8400 to maintain our daily pulls.

[ember vortex]

The mission Truce over Bottle is wrong in one way or another for me. Mission asks for 3k grade 2 gas, but a window pops up wanting grade 2 raw isogen when donate is clicked. OPS 20

[floral folio]

Mission Keys alliance quest - I have only ever seen one of the top 10 alliances on our server reach the 750 keys. Can we maybe lower this limit at some point so it feels achievable?

[fluid moat]

another bad set of rare ticket events 😞

[neon terrace]

When we can expect it?

[hazy swallow]

Another damage slb pitting 56s against 60s. Those ships can kill hostiles we can't even reach. Glad to know scopely really takes our feedback into consideration before feeding the whales. 🙄

[versed token]

none of it really matters, since new borg armadas count, completely contrary to event description

[vale musk]

how can it be that some people have already completed this main event today - but others have not (even though all the associated events have been completed)?

[zenith wing]

everyone got a gift chest with 100 points for the event that didn't score for some people.

[vale musk]

so that means that everyone for whom the above-mentioned event counted received 100 points “more”, so to speak? nice.

[stoic linden]

Do you remember the borg event where you had to go kill thousands of borg probes? Yeah that got a comp which gave 100 more points to everyone even if you did manage to complete it

[static spade]

The 100 point comm was not for the Borg event, it was for another event that every one complete but not everyone got points.

[vagrant topaz]

Scoring on Shattered Wisdom SLB is broken. Only hostiles level 42 and below score points.

[queen hearth]

new dailies suck.

[halcyon kite]

The new dailies only suck for min-maxing with a hoarding mindset. If you save for a four day rotation, you can maybe do better overall than you would by trying to save for weeks to win a random slb. The daily slbs are for spenders. Do I wish there was more synergy with the other events? Sure. But wish in one hand, poo in the other and see which one fills up first.

[queen hearth]

not talking about the slbs. no fixed ROI. the new sms where you know what inputs are required for the defined rewards. the old ones were a decent source of lat and ultras. the new sms events aren't even close. and as the post above outlines, the payout for the supid meta officer draw is random and trash.

[halcyon kite]

Oh, I gotcha. I think the meta isn't terrible, but could be better. But I was thinking more about the daily rewards. It's been a long time since I even paid attention to daily events, and lat/ultra recruit tokens aren't a priority in any sense for me now. Definitely not an equal change for different ops levels.

[brazen badge]

The amount of mats I’m getting from new dailies is FANTASTIC. I love the changes. One thing Scopely got right…Now, just turn Arena back on!

[novel mango]

I hate waves no one ever wants to do them it’s a struggle to gets the pass done each time.

[woven tulip]

Wave BP is the easiest pass in game, with upto 2-3 event overflow

[merry flax]

please refrain from events where the milestones are ridiculous

[languid ice]

An Officer Flash Pass that gives no officers. 👏. 👏. 👏
And before anyone says that the event store gives officer shards, those only contain a CHANCE to get shards. And odds of those aren’t great.

[fluid moat]

Yup i saw Tolra and thought wow lets buy it and it's only a 3% chance.. Odds are of all my pulls that will equal 0 shards...

[languid ice]

Tom Paris has no business being here. Scopley can’t even get simple things like artwork correct.

[neon terrace]

Still waiting for this.

[languid ice]

1 shard per pull. Limit 40. Need 75 to unlock. ??????

[upbeat spruce]

the other 35 come from the elite pass

[valid knoll]

@near saddle any update on this?

[uneven dirge]

Officer flash pass has the same 6% chance to get my money as me getting an epic officer

[fluid moat]

3% if you only want one of the epic officers

[lyric quiver]

Just wanna say who wants or has the time to grind this much on Christmas Eve without event synergies. Hirogens, Klingons/El Al events? Also no money on this flashpass with only low chance of officers shards, nope, wallet nailed shut.

[marble parrot]

..similar subject. All events done in 25mns? As ops 50 went for lvl 51 hirogen so it was quick.

Same for klingons.

So...scopley not doing enough to keep me online thats all. 🥴🎅

But all good and easy ! Merry xmas all

[marble parrot]

Serious demotion for tom 🫡

[vale harness]

Scopely Christmas gift today…Christmas eve LAGGGGGG

[vale harness]

I see scopely PvP balance is working out as intended. Comes into an into a PVP system that wasnt his and starts blowing people up. Great job scopely. 😒

[plain cradle]

To be fair, Scopely can't control player actions - We have a player on Server 157 who's completely rogue and has reached level 61 by completely ignoring RoE and just raiding mining ships even in Token Systems - But he's not breaching any Scopely T&C's so there's nothing they can/will do about him

<@&509690795536941056> Can the number of El-Aurian hostiles in systems be increased please? There's 28 player ships in [Faria System S:1748815154] and only a max of 12 hostiles at any one time

[vale harness]

I get playing by scopely TOS and not following a roe that is not part of scopely rules. BUT the PVP brackets are ridiculous. Seriously, what can an OPS 47 do against an OPS 68? Absolutely nothing. He isnt a rogue. He is an alliance of higher ops wallet warriors who TRY to rule the server. They buy their way to the top and try to command everyone to do what they want. Some will not bend the knee and are treated as the enemy.

[plain cradle]

Yup! Completely get that! But again, there's nothing Scopely can do about that - PvP is just part of the game - I'm level 49 and often get hit by level 60+ whales (maybe that's more to do with the fact I'm an Alliance Admiral though! lol) Let's face it, between their Credit Card and hitting lower level targets, that's how they progress

[vale harness]

Well scopely needs to get off their *** and do something about it. People are quitting the game over it. But i guess as long as they have people like that filtering money in a game that promotes toxic behavior they dont care.

[gusty robin]

The PvP is about competition, it’s about whale feeding on chum.

[plain cradle]

But it's part of the gameplay! I get frustrated when I get hit my someone 10+ OPs above me, but actually, it drives me to want to pogress more! (And I'm F2P not P2W)

[vale harness]

I use to spend in this game but don’t anymore. I am not one to kiss *** just to play a game. I wont kiss their *** like everyone else does.

[plain cradle]

Not a lot more I can say then really 😦 It's just part of the gameplay - Only way to get round it would be to have servers for specific level brackets (But where would the fun be in that? 😄 lol) Also, can your alliance not help? If someone in my alliance get's attacked and the levels are VASTLY different, we get together as an alliance and RAID the heck outta that player's base 🖖

So this new Officer Flash Pass store. Choice (ish) = Good, Odds = Bad. On any given pull there's a 50% chance I get 0 shards and 0 latinum and instead get two 5 minute speedups? And a 40% chance that one of my chances at shards or latinum ends up being a speed up. Is this some sort of experiment to see how gullible the spenders are?

That's every server. Wish they were lumped together

the game is totally getting into the holiday spirit with a 3% and 5 % chance on the cosmetics isnt it

They do it to everyone. So the whole server would have to ban together to take them out.

sigh its not a choice if its all random. no sparkly ship for me 😦

Scopely definitely can do something about it but would upset their whales with less cannon fodder

The new officer battle pass is a hit in the face when talking about rewards. Not even guaranteed officer shards? What is this? definitely and hopefully not the plan for the future

It’s Christmas for Scopely, what did you expect?

[lean cargo]

They're not even giving away a Christmas cosmetic. 3% chance for a frame. Sums the people who work in this company up perfectly 🤣

I am unable to go to Alta for the Vidar PVP Borg cube event. I could earlier today, but this evening, my ship never leaves the dock. But I can reach other systems just fine. Just thought I’d report it

[zenith wing]

if that happens, try sending it to some other systems first. it usually addresses the issue

Thank you, I will give it a try!
