[molten marlin]

that was also brought up, nothing yet

[umbral tinsel]

@near saddle <@&509690795536941056> can we have a response please…..

[spark cypress]

Its done. But maybe we could not have to kill so many per day going forward? 🤣🤣

[naive folio]

So many excited about WOK arc!! Iconic content potential!
So disappointing that WOK arc will initiate record number of players leaving STFC. Sad.

[severe patio]

Are the Augment Exiles the survey ships?

[dusky fjord]

emerald chain rep is now zero🤣

[molten marlin]

visual bug, restart or two usually fixes it

[half furnace]

Wildly unbalanced right now, hope that get's fixed before the end of the arc. I don't know if even the $20 Battlepass is worth it right now if I can't complete events

[echo turret]

Dear Scopely, @full swan

I’m writing to you as a level 56 free-to-play player with solid ships and well-developed research. I’d like to share some feedback about the direction the game has taken over the past couple of months.

To put it plainly: the workload required to stay competitive has become overwhelming.

A typical day starts at 6 AM, when I log in to refresh overnight miners. Claiming all the daily boxes takes around 20–25 minutes. Once that’s done, I begin the daily faction rep grind, which takes another 20 minutes. Then I repair returning ships, begin new research or building upgrades, and by the time that’s all finished, an hour has already passed — and it’s time to go to work.

During the workday, I sneak into the restroom just to refresh miners again, since our server enforces a no-offline-crew (no-OC) policy. When I get home, I spend another 30–45 minutes grinding hostiles before the 6 PM event reset. Then comes the 7 PM reset, where I wait to see if the events align. In between, I try to be active in alliance chat.

After dinner and family time, I’m finally able to log back in around 9:30 PM to reset miners for the night.

Now, with the introduction of even more grind-heavy events — like today’s — I spent 2.5 hours just to complete one. Luckily, I was working from home today and had the time, but most days, that just isn’t realistic.

I understand that progression should require effort, but it’s reaching a point where it’s not just demanding — it’s unsustainable. Many of us have full-time jobs and families, and we want to enjoy the game without it feeling like a second job.

Please consider scaling the grind to a more manageable level, especially for free-to-play players who still invest a lot of time and passion into your game.

Sincerely,
A level 56 F2P Player

[late dew]

So to do the lvl 26 WOK mission you need to spawn a champion which requires superior reputation.. 60mil augment rep.. how what huh?

[molten marlin]

It's still being looked into, when we have more information, there will be an announcement.

[tame terrace]

@full swan So the fix for D’Vor/Fessha only worked for D’Vor….Still no credit for all I spent in the SLB and no credit for Feesha.

[storm mica]

Wait till the heroic events launch

[jagged current]

Day one gripes: the mission requires you to summon a champion, and the rep required is way too high. The events launched late, but didn’t count the levels in the archive we already did. And I had to hit 166 hostiles for the sms. And I had alliance mates who had to hit over 300

[wanton anvil]

I was looking forward to WOK. But unfortunately the grind is just simply too much. This EE event is boring and tedious-

[umbral tinsel]

<@&509690795536941056> @near saddle for the I don’t know how many times we asked . Can we have a response? The please is in the previous post..🫤

[grave charm]

how is it possible to complete the new sidequest? rep lvl champion... serious?

[dark zealot]

This is excessive for an ops 27. It’s rare for me to pull missions that reward these and the ones I get are 400 or 800…

[queen kindle]

How many medals are in your Standard Assignment Booster box?

[dark horizon]

The GAMBLING side of taking one of those Exiles surveys down is not really cool.

[dark zealot]

Idk. I claimed it this morning. I want to say I had around 90k yesterday when everything went live… so 40-50k in the box

[queen kindle]

I'd keep claiming then. Sounds like this sourcing and running ATAs should be enough to unlock the P1ATA research.

[spring harbor]

If there are more EE Augment Exile Engagement SMS events, please reduce the total points required AND increase the reward for hostiles to kill, grind is too long

[dark jewel]

<@&509690795536941056> I'm trying to understand how are we supposed to complete the pri 1 away team mission if the time on it is longer than the event and the game hasn't furnished enough speed UPS to complete it. It wasn't listed as a heroic event, was it?. This on top of failure to launch for the entire Arc. And no communication about the status while the arc isn't launching. Come on.

[queen kindle]

How long is your P1ATA?

[molten marlin]

30% yeet cannon

[wide kayak]

Yeah they got me 6 times in a row I decided Im not gambling lol

[dark horizon]

That's why I mentioned that the gambling side of it is not really cool. Even the NX BS hostiles are better to fight, and those were horrible.

[blazing goblet]

4 Days

[obtuse hornet]

Yesterday we got two missions from holodeck,the first one disapperead when i was playing.just in the middle of it.the second one no problem,completed it,i adressed in bugreport but no respons.hope there is a solution for it.thx.

[dark horizon]

What is the purpose of getting more ship parts at mastery given you have your ship maxxed .. At least if you could convert those parts to something else that would be better rather than just hoard parts not needed.

[golden burrow]

Soooo, just thinkin’ maybe someone could FIX THIS?!

[molten marlin]

pc and android update fixes it, ios update is still pending

[umbral pelican]

Anyone else finding this exile entanglement basically impossible to complete. I was grinding for 3 HRs and barely made it half way. Just ridiculous.

[next wing]

I think you just have to choose the right level to grind. It was cake once I remembered how to freeze the hunters.

[random lynx]

The exile sms is impossible to complete. It required probably like close to 100 ship hulls just to complete it. Same applies to the common splinters chest. THE EXILES DROP SO LITTLE LOOT (1k each) BUT I NEED 500K TO OPEN?

[dim hare]

so what is there really new and exciting about this? why bring yet another grind/loop? I bet soon they will probably release a specialty ship or tech $$$, to get more loot and allow autogrinding

[umbral pelican]

Froze the hunters in 48 system, PMC w lower decks on, 400k Vorcha, only could get 5-6 kills rinse and repeat and not even close. It shouldn't take HRs to compete. 10.8m to complete at 42k per ship is 257 ships. 257 ships divided by 6 ships a run at 10min per complete run gives a total of 7.13 hrs to complete. Which again makes sense cause I'm just under halfway......math doesn't lie and I can't effectively hit higher. It's broken and my alliance members feel the same way.

[dim hare]

I bet soon they will probably release a specialty ship or tech $$$, to get more loot and allow autogrinding

[elfin nest]

This milestone is too high. I have been grinding in the 38 system. It needs to be lowered. Can't be stuck to my game for hours...everyone has a RL

[spring meteor]

I completely agree. I was only able to complete the first milestone due to so many other players also grinding in the systems that I was in.

[visual swallow]

is it possible for the <@&509690795536941056> explain when we going to receive the self-called "Quality of Life Updates" in the game?? Cause I dont see how they came up with an event where u need to spend 6hrs straight hunting hostiles to complete a SMS event as "quality of life"

[sand sky]

That event runs another 5 times. They need to lower the target

[long cedar]

Are you serious ?

[charred lotus]

<@&509690795536941056> I respect that you guys have been focused on game breaking stuff for the past 24 hours. There needs to be some official acknowledgement of the other big issues too. Rep required to complete missions. The high number of hostiles for the SMS. Drop rates for refines. Others, not you, and not mods have suggested these are escalated. Until we hear it from YOU we don't beleive it. The players are already restless, this makes it worse

[long cedar]

I'm Ops 54 and I can't get 18 million reputation. Why put a champion kill mission ?! Review the reputation level to access these champions!

[dark topaz]

cool, they improved the event for killing new hostiles by doubling the points to reach today. well played scopley 🤣.

[rapid swallow]

My heartfelt congratulations! Whoever came up with this Khan nonsense... whatever they were smoking: I want that too! I've seen a lot of nonsense here, but this time you've truly outdone yourselves! <@&509690795536941056>

[near wyvern]

The first evolving enemies SMS didn't take long enough, please make us do twice as much work... said no one

[rapid quail]

Wow the milestone for this Sms is double the last one WTAF. @full swan

[silver pike]

Evolving enemies is the worst event yet can only kill level 40 with a 100 mil korinar and only 12 per run. Need to kill over 300 to complete the event whose dumb idea was this one

[sand sigil]

well.. today twice the points to complete augment sms .. are you trying to mess with us?

[charred lotus]

Why make todays better. They refuse to even acknowledge how terrible ysterdays was

[quartz river]

wow.....

[low remnant]

<@&509690795536941056> I know this isn't your fault, but we all felt the events were unreasonable yesterday for EE, and today's event is even worse. Slapping a heroic lable on it doesn't solve our issue. Please reconsider how much grind these events really NEED to be.

[graceful glade]

Are you serious? Same exhausting grind of the new augment hostiles? Barely made the one yesterday, and many in my alliance struggled to even finish it, or could not!
Is that the new fatu krey, every day?

[paper summit]

Why is the event based on the new arc only giving up to G5 rss in rewards? Whats the point in myself a 61 ops doing them? Event in question is "EE Augment Exiles Engagement Heroic - SMS" ITs pointless in sending all the time needed for no G6 rss

[carmine delta]

Very disappointed - thought scoply would make SOME adjustments based on the feedback and obvious lunacy. I was wrong…

[spark cypress]

They did..made the milestones bigger 🤣🤣🤣

[oblique ore]

They made. Events were to easy and should be more challenging...irony off

[echo cedar]

Ops 56, EE was 10.8m day 1, 21.6m today. Doubled for no reason

[thin void]

Ok, so folks complained about the event yesterday, and today we get one with double the milestone. Does the arc runner hate the players or something?

[shut geode]

Scopely we cannot complete is absurd events!!!!! 🤬

[rapid quail]

Not only that but the payouts are trash. Considering the work involved.

[edgy stream]

Scoply, you are on crack, if you think I am gonna kill 500 hostiles in 24 hours to complete that event. That's ridiculous.

[halcyon fiber]

this whole arc is a total mess.

The Evolving Enemies which has unrealistic scoring/milestones and values anything but the players time.
But not only that:
The store chests require an insane amount of grinding, FOR EACH OF THE 5 Store Credits!
If you dont do that you might not complete the new missions event because its rep gated.

But also the Away Team Missions.
We got so many of Away Team Events recently its hard to keep up without running out of speedups and we cant even use Trait XP anymore.
In addition to that the new missions have a very high Attribute Requirement. My G4 account has a 28% chance to successfully complete one.
My mid G6 Account has around 80% Chance.
Then they take 4 days and might just not even be startable if you miss the officer it tells you to slot in.

WORST ARC EVER.

<@&509690795536941056>

[solemn fjord]

Todays word of the day is Disillusioned, yesterdays word of the day was Disheartened, what will tomorrows events bring?

[final viper]

I am done with this 💩. If I had time to play all bay I would play on a PS5 or a Xbox

[sand sky]

WoP arc. The Wrath of Players

[storm mica]

Are you *** serious??? You double the grind after people complaining all day that the normal event was just dumb grinding? Its amazing how you lost touch with your player base. No wonder that so many people quit the game.

[graceful glade]

Triple the amount of the first day to grind. Lol

[modern urchin]

And a £200 prime/refit/ship/ etc

[sharp thistle]

Absolutely beggars belief thah somehow scopely want positive feedback for stuff they are introducing when they come up with this stuff

[green ibex]

Yesterday’s milestone was already heroic …. Now it’s even more heroic !!! Skipping this run as wel , milestones are insane ! Who comes up with these out of touch milestones

[rapid quail]

Anyone looking to buy an ops 58 account. I mean sure it's "allegedly" against TOS, but that hasn't stopped whales from transferring accounts on my server US91 and there are a lot. 🤣🙄🤔. AND TURN OFF SLOW MODE. RIDICULOUS

[deep halo]

Thanks for Insulting behave. Double hostiles ? Better quit the game

[floral folio]

Making it harder today was not kind. Please consider REDUCING the number of kills required in the Evolving Enemies events.

[halcyon fiber]

what the heck guys

[misty dirge]

This is totally nuts!!!! This whole arc stinks!!!! Double the grind????

Reallyyy?!

Tomorrow doubled again.......

👀👀👀👀👀

Whales spend enough but are mad about it aswell.. the free to play players aren't doing a thing because they can't grind like you want everyone to grind..

You deffinetly want to let all the players quit this fame because of this arc?!

Its tedious!!!

I thought they would listen to all the players yesterday.. but instead doubled the grind...

Really not that sweet..

I'm deffinetly not touching this events of the arc.. its not doable.. what a waste of time 😔

[silent crest]

Scopely, with all due respect… the Evolving Enemies SMS is insane. Yesterday I had to hit 36 Hostiles of my appropriate level (ops60), and today it is doubled to 72? Why?

[shut geode]

<@&509690795536941056> Can you explain me how to do this in 24 hours, I have now killed two ships. I have to do a total of 7000 ships for this event!!

[upper sky]

Yep scopely wants everyone to hurry up and LVL up, but won't give any of the resources needed to get there, getting to be a bit of a joke.

[jagged current]

To add to the rabble: yesterday was bad. Had to do 166 level 40s. My reward is to hit over 300 today, or if I can punch the 42s- 192,

[solemn fjord]

doubled and we are nearly all using the same system, Scopely i am disgusted by your thoughts about my time

[hard sentinel]

Managed to stick it out and finish yesterday's poorly designed event and then see today is the same thing but only double the points needed. The "heroic" tag is laughable considering yesterday's event was "heroic" without the tag. Can't help but notice that the reward amounts at each tier didn't change from yesterday, so why would i bother trying today?

[graceful glade]

That was meant sarcastic.
Don't give me wrong, I'm not suggesting them to do it.
I'm as upset about the event as everyone else is 🙄

[frosty lodge]

Lets not forget all the grind broken into a million warps and warp back as you cant stay in these systems for more than 4-5 hits

[placid shard]

I was kidding yesturday when i said the new sms was too easy, yall didnt have to go double the points needed!!!!

[solemn fjord]

sorry bud, didnt mean to reply to you, i read your message as you intended, im thinking they may even double up again for 4x

[jolly oxide]

Really?! REALLY?! You took a 💩 event and made it worse?!

[light lance]

I say we all don't do the event until they sort it, what's tomorrow, tripple ?

[stiff trench]

Wow double the amount cos yesterday wasn't already the impossible task

[silver walrus]

I’m finding this goal a bit unreachable

[vocal willow]

I have told my entire alliance to just not do the event, this is just stupid and will just burn what players are left playing the game out.

[errant chasm]

Can <@&509690795536941056> acknowledge this is being escalated? This is the second day of unrealistic grinding.

[upper turtle]

Im guessing for many, that word of the day will be 'Disappeared'

[harsh nexus]

Why did the points double? Do you have any idea how long yesterday’s EE took? This is ridiculous. <@&509690795536941056>

[noble verge]

I spent 4500 of my Chaos Tech Tier-Up Catalysts to score in the Forbidden Upgrades SLB (at 8 pts a pop) & got NOTHING! WTH, MAN?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[runic arrow]

Yep mine are not quite as bad need 91m but can only hit L56's so will need 311 to just complete

[wide monolith]

This is pathetic. Double the amount needed from yesterday and some of ours couldn’t even complete that.

[carmine delta]

Not doing this - just not worth it. This had such potential, and they ruined it

[crystal heron]

Am I just confused ....it says complete one pillar = 100 pts....I have completed 9 pillars.....

[white moat]

This is supposed to be a game, not a lifestyle. I'm sure many people are like me and don't have 6-10 hours per day to spend on this. Enough is enough.

[elfin lagoon]

Umm, if I've already spent all I can possibly spend towards teh archive and am unable to spend more, how am I supposed to spend so your "metric" gives me my points?

[wet grove]

Yesterday, literally everyone told you, the milestone points are way too high. What do you do today? You double them. Dont you want players to actually do your events?

[hollow flare]

Don't worry guys you can kill the chasers that have a 90% chance to kill you for extra points! 🙃

[fluid gust]

3x bonus with 1/10 odds... where's the value in that?

the survey ships are much rarer, so the 4x bonus is negligible compared to the amount of time it takes to find one.

[gray stirrup]

Doubled the sms? SRSLY?

[supple citrus]

pretty sure those 90% are actually 100%

[peak mulch]

didn't complete yesterday's grind. Not even gonna try today. Good job on a great event

[valid knoll]

The Xindi 30% is closer to 75% so 90% is probably 130%

[brazen latch]

It took an unreasonable grind to finish the event yesterday. Today’s is twice the total. Are you trying to make sure people don’t do the events anymore?

[azure egret]

https://tenor.com/view/pout-kiss-blowing-a-kiss-suspense-christian-bale-gif-16931550113965916217

[rough dune]

Tomorrow's event is the same as yesterday's. It is in the timeline of events.

[ashen notch]

Oh look, thousands of players saying the grind event is too strenuous, yet scopley doubles down on a heroic version. Love the tone deafness.

[rapid plinth]

Seriously @rose oracle doubling today’s EE augment SMS to 148 mil is ridiculous….pull your heads out of your ***……..

[hollow flare]

Yes, they're showing us how terrible it is so when this arc ends and part 2 starts they release a ship that ignores the 90% kill mechanic and does 55000% damage and gets 5000% extra loot we all rush to get it

[naive folio]

And you will have to pay for it!!

I used to really enjoy playing this game ! I believe it is now becoming a toxic relationship

[trail solar]

Please, everyone just send a ticket about the Augment exile event.

[gray stirrup]

To their flooded system? No thanks.

[waxen totem]

<@&509690795536941056> the augment exile sms are bonkers. Both in time to kill, and cost of repairs. This is the continuum launch all over again.

[winged niche]

This arc is Very Worst because milestone points is very high it means scopely Slowly Slowly Start Forced to Everyone Invest money Otherwise they can't survive and also Level 26 (900k power) ship destroy 40m Power ship.And i think we can't complete All events every Day/time it's took so Many time for complete

[serene pilot]

@full swan <@&509690795536941056> This is utter BS to tie this to a meta that includes officer shards for this arc.

[fierce sierra]

Scopely, stop smoking the bad stuff, you are just insane.

[balmy totem]

*The time and date reads Friday, 4:59pm in the Scopely offices....*

What haven't we done yet lads?

Err.... the event for the second day boss?

Oh yeah... erm... take the event for the first day, make it twice as hard, and slap Heroic on it.

Great, time for the pub!

[chrome oracle]

This isn't Heroic SMS when it's grind twice as much as yesterday. Heck what incentive is there for a whale to even pay for anything? This is a pure grind SMS only. It's not like we have tons of surveys floating around to kill, and everyone has upper limits on what they can kill.

[hollow flare]

I genuinely don't understand how anyone can look at a ship that has a 9/10 chance to kill you and think "players will definitely try and kill that for 3x points"

If I told you there was a 9/10 chance I'd punch you in the face and a 1/10 chance you'd get a £1 coin you'd never take me up on that offer

[crystal heron]

yea I'm not even going to attempt this bs - yesterday was enough grinding struggle

[spring harbor]

IF everyone just stopped buying and playing, how long do you think it'll take scopley to fix issues?

[winged niche]

So strong ships it means Just do Weakly events and Battlepass Events 😂😂😂😂

[jolly musk]

Never

[rough dune]

What Scopely is hoping is that everyone buys the new officers. If you look at their abilities, they are tailored for how overpowered the exile hostiles are.

[visual furnace]

Oh yay the same boring SMS as yesterday with it's unreasonably high grinding requirements

[quiet karma]

doubled it up just to laugh at us all

[gloomy rain]

As if yesterday's event wasn't bad enough, this keeps getting worse. I can't even get close to killing the L42 hostiles, which means I'll need to kill about 310 L40 ones to complete this event. I can only do 5-6 per trip until repairs, so this is rather unrealistic within a 24-hour time window. Who the heck comes up with these things???

[marble parrot]

Yep. Somebody at scoeply is having a right laugh.

🤣🤣🤣

[spring harbor]

scopley trying to take your hard earned cash from you

[umbral tinsel]

For the 6th time. Respond please. Undoable hostile hunt!! <@&509690795536941056> @near saddle

[marsh pond]

maybe is time to ask if we are going to get paid for spending so much time in game grinding this way

[white moat]

Worse. You're paying them.

[sharp sail]

Respectfully, the Evolving Enemies event is just not worth the effort over the course of a month. It's too intensive and not sustainable in terms of time spent or cost of resources/repairs.

[dark horizon]

Imagine people complaining about the high MS for yesterday Event, then coming up with this one.
Nobody there gives a carp about players.

[visual furnace]

We get it...you basically want to annoy us so much this month that we just have to buy your new one trick pony ship next month....

The number of complaints about the grind requirements yesterday along with everything being broken, people still not able to do the missions from the arc because your bad work caused us all to get robbed of various currencies including all the new stuff, mirror stuff, DTI (FREE DTI!) and more... Yours toll expecting us to sit and shoot annoying hostiles in a small number of systems where the entire server are all spending hours up on hours up on hours in just to finish your insanely high SMS targets that if you don't complete...you can't complete the meta events.

This is a total joke and you need to sort stuff out and actually acknowledge the tickets about all the lost loot outside or the 10 million new augment currencies that were added. Because this needed more currencies 😔

@full swan @near saddle

Really disappointing arc for a legendary star trek film. You guys really did inappropriate activities with a dog on this one @rose oracle

Oh I missed the fact out of this you double the milestones for an event that was already getting so many complaints!

Away teams used to be a passive background thing that took 5 mins...

Not 5 hours.

[brittle magnet]

Scopely, what are you smoking, cause this is some GOOD 💩 . I only managed to finish 1 milestone of the event this morning - by pure luck finding a lvl50 Survey and hitting ~30 lvl42 ships. For the top milestone, I have to hit ~400 hostiles to complete. That was then, now you DOUBLE the milestones???? Please send me some of that stuff you are smoking. It's not like I have to work to earn a living - oh yes, I have to... 😜

[marsh pond]

not me even wasted a lot of time yesterday today wont , but worst is how many that do may stop doing so

[brazen latch]

As a level 56 let me explain what’s wrong with the event. I need 21.6 million points, if, and this is a GIANT if, you can kill the level 56 hostiles, you need 74. As you drop down in levels the points per a kill drop off a cliff. 54’s I need 119. 52’s and I need 192. 50’s require 311. 48 and I need 503. If you drop down 10 levels to 46, you suddenly need 814.

Almost no one is doing their level. People needing to do 6-8, and even in some cases 10 levels below their ops level so far is normal. This is difficult content, and that’s fine.

But penalizing people this badly for having to go down a handful of levels is crazy. This is a scoring problem. You’re separating the number of points way too much. A hostile 10 levels below you should not be awarding 9% of the points, if these numbers were closer together people would not be as angry. The numbers make sense if you could defeat hostiles near your level, but for the majority of the player base, that’s not possible.

[umbral tinsel]

They rewarded our complaints with even more hostiles to kill. Insane.

[peak patio]

You guys haven’t fixed the issue with Cerritos …

[dark horizon]

For my ops range, i need to hit 44s (anything higher is going to lower my kill count per hull) to get my 500ish kills, at an average of 30 kills per hull, that takes 17 hulls to complete. It's definately not worth the effort.

[low remnant]

People in my server are dropping 8-14 levels. Especially people who have whaled up during the last week's ascension and are fresh 56s and 60s. Everyone hates the grind but is sluggishly consenting to it because we want the rewards...

[white moat]

And therein lies the issue. If we keep dancing to their tune, they won't change anything.

[tawny falcon]

Feels like this is just trying to lube us up to give the the 99.99 for whatever ship they are going to sell to make the hostiles easier to kill.

[brazen latch]

Almost positive it will be NCC-1864, USS Reliant. It’s already in the art work when you log in.

[gentle sun]

Spent some omega dust on research more than half an hour ago. Restarted app twice, still no scoring:

[low remnant]

Agreed, but if there's been nothing but radio silence. And at some point, our choice to not do it means we don't get the rewards. And I'm in day 3 of a May Blizzard and not in the mood to touch frozen grass haha so figured I might as well use it as a chance to try a myraid of crews while I sit in front of the fireplace!

[random lynx]

WHY IS THE SMS REQUIREMENT DOUBLED NOW

[lilac oracle]

THIS ARC IS HORRIBLE.

[late orchid]

Yup whoever decided to dbl the sms points req should never be making arc decisions again... clearly they've lost the plot...

[jolly musk]

Worst ever arc and its only 2nd day…

[warm swift]

Some years ago, players told you the game is too time-consuming, and now you do an event where we have to kill hostile for too much hours for a game

[serene pilot]

This is going to be the first time in 15 months that I will NOT buy the elite battle pass as a protest to this crap shoot of an arc. Seems the only way to get any point across is to not give them the money they so desperately want.

[low remnant]

<@&509690795536941056> Are we going to get anything other than radio silence? I'm sure most of yesterday was all hands on deck in the offices squashing bugs and major stability issues, but I feel like a lot of our frustrations as players aren't being acknowledged.

The rewards in the SMS and Faction store are good. I'm willing to do some grinding for them. But today's will take me about 2.5 hours of uninterrupted grind based on how yesterday went. The work required for yesterday's didn't net me a single pull for uncommon warth credits. The work in is mitigating the benefit of these rewards.

I hope Scopely is hearing this, and a bit of a "We hear you, we're elevating this. We're frustrated too but we aren't the decision makers" would go a LONG way.

[strange idol]

The independant archive event is kinda glitched

[winged niche]

We hearing Some problem with Scoring event so we decide on next month Arc we Launch a ship for hostile .and Crew in Current Arc so it is a Complete Crew and ship combination in next month.
Now Complete this Arc please Purchase/Buying Package
Free players Escape This arc 😂😂😂😂😂

[tribal halo]

Disinterested

Come on Scopely, these Augment Exile event scoring tables are completely unrealistic! You can’t kill hostiles the same lvl as yourself so you have to hit lower. This makes the scoring very long and tedious! Some of us have lives outside this game!!! When will Scopely start to actually respect their players’ time?!! You might find you get that respect returned as well….

[twin knoll]

You have been told time and time again that the grind in the game is a major part of what turns folks off it and makes them quit and what do you do ? You put in an arc with a grind that is one of the worst I have seen in this game the loss of the ability to hit hostiles at least of the same level as yourself makes the whole thing just too much I have spoken to several players, players who slaveshly complete every single task and with this they are saying "im not going to bother its too much too long" seems you really stepped on your crank with this one.

[cold karma]

i play this game to have fun and relax not to deal with frustated people or grinding so basically i'm letting yomama do my "Evolving Enemyes" cuz i'm sick of this 💩

[fresh monolith]

EU118: independent archives event points are still not registered.

<@&509690795536941056>

Sorry, but the new update is the biggest piece of crap in a long time. The balancing is just awful.
If I can't shoot a single 42 as a 46, something is wrong.
And no Scopely employee has tested the missions themselves. The number of enemies is simply a joke. The time you have to invest for this is disproportionate to the paltry few resources you get for it.
And unlocking a mission that you can complete in months if you're lucky because it takes forever to get your reputation up to unlock the champions.
No thanks. Scopely. Set six. Urgently rework or look for another job. You're ruining the game.

Small side note. The 90% buff is Star Trek technically the biggest joke I've ever seen. Do any of you even know Star Trek? The buff shouldn't even work with my Romulan ships. They don't use a warp drive with dilithium. They use artificial singularities, but that's probably not important in a Star Trek game...

[meager herald]

It gets even worse, as a lvl 67 I need 300m for the sms so not even got the time to try

[lost osprey]

For the first time since arcs began way back with the Borg, I’m not even buying the $20 battle pass. This game has lost it’s luster

[scenic jolt]

Evolving Enemies events are complete BS!!! You guys coming up with it are insane and then you double down on the ridiculousness. boycotting the insanity and contemplating quitting the game for refusing to listen to players. 👎🤬😵‍💫

[trail solar]

I hope many people follow your example! I unfortunately cant spend less on this game then the 0 euros Im spending.

[trail bramble]

Yep, last arc's GS31 rip off made me discontinue my 1 or 2 $100 packs per month. This arc may make me just quit.

[flint oyster]

And you wonder why your game is dying

[frigid patrol]

Another failure for one of the most anticipated characters/officers/arcS, etc, ever in the game. Just another tedious unwanted grind, and riddled with lag and bugs galore. You have the most frequent and longest maintenance times I've ever seen and you still fail. Most players don't even know the story because they are too busy smashing buttons in a lag fest to avoid the Insta kills and lets not forget allowing players to hit players 19 levels lower then them. What you got are systems loaded with lag and high level players with speed crews making it worse. Keep merging servers and making the profits look great, it seems its the only thing you are competent at.

[dark horizon]

Got to milk those last few drops before it goes in the ground 🙂

[charred hill]

You guys need to fix the EE hostile kill event, the parameters are not just ridiculous, they’re beyond ridiculous

[low remnant]

With how fast the chasers move, I don't read any of the missions stories. Leads to death too often.

[toxic kindle]

Reduce the Evolving SMS to kill 1 Exile to complete. This is garbage and grindy and nobody wants it. You need to drastically escalate the quality of life of players. My wallet is stored until you #FreeDTI for starts and then show some potential for saving this terrible Arc.

[hearty hedge]

Einfach nur lächerlich das event gestern 330k heute 760k sry aber jetzt ist schluss, 0 gehirn bei scope ohne das richtige schiff + crew... tschau event nicht mit uns

[trim stump]

Thanks... This arc and double the grind from yesterday just made me an occasional Free to PLay player.

[austere vigil]

can the mechanics in the events get adjusted to a more reasonable ratio please? As it stands now, I have to kill 311 hostiles to complete.

[fierce sierra]

813 here

[sharp thistle]

Slapping a heroic tag on a massive grind event won't help anything. The grind for this new arc is insane. Having to grind multiple currencies for a single store is utter insanity that I cannot fathom how anyone from scopely even considered it'd be a good idea.

I get scopely are pushing for the inevitable USS Reliant, but all scopely are doing is pushing more and more players away. I get wanting positive feedback but scopely really need to do something that's positive for that to happen. Adding a couple of ships to the IA is barely a bandaid to the rubbish scopely are pushing out right now

#FreDTI
#Stop the Grind.

[rough dune]

Did a time analysis of the grind for today. Would be 4 hrs of grinding to complete the SMS. And that is without much competition. As more join in, it will be longer.

[hollow wigeon]

The only upside is ... as a 67 you actually should have a good chance to finish the event quickly if your ships are where they should be, i.e. Cube T15.
4 hulls with the correct crew against 68s and the event is done.
The problem is for all those that are not that high OPS and cannot hit for enough points.

[midnight kelp]

I‘m lvl 66 since a bit, and I‘m not able to finish that event!
I mean no I‘m not gonna grind all day just to try!

And on top, scopely doubled points needed for today 🤮

[austere mortar]

don’t forget they slapped a “heroic” tag on it and left non-heroic amounts of reward. now, if they add 1000 g5 epic gas 1500 g4 pic gas and some sigma building upgrade speed ups , i could see it and would work for it. this? yeah nah. worthless for the effort.

and now absolute radio silence from <@&509690795536941056> s

[low remnant]

I would also add some of the new epic officer shards...

[sly pumice]

Stop treating the players as dairy cows to be milked dry. Let the players achieve success enjoyably, rather than having to spend hours grinding through the same boring hostiles. #stopthegrind

[frigid patrol]

Its funny seeing all this feedback. As admiral of an alliance only 2 of us did it yesterday, most just laughed at me when I tried to give crew advice, and that was yesterday! Even funnier is the fact that I have a level 38, who's been lvl 38 for years, he laughs at every update,new ship/feature, etc. He got his Ent,D4 and Augur and doesn't bother with much, he plays the game his own way and I can respect that.

[white moat]

Well, they keep spending regardless of what Scopely does, so kinda seems like that's exactly what we are.

[visual furnace]

Oh mannnnnn

Due to my determination in finishing last nights EE hostile grind I forgot to go to work today.

Now I can't sleep tonight or go to work tomorrow now you've doubled the milestones

And if I can't work...then how am I meant to pay for quesadillas?????

Now @full swan I know that you understand the pain here and therefore I am convinced you'll now go out of your way to ensure the event is fixed to reduce all this grinding

Right?

[visual swallow]

best crew I could gather with the officers I have available... using cerritos buff I was able to hit lvl 54 with my sanctus 975K... my grinding time went to 2hrs

[stoic lark]

Arc team must be smoking crack to think this is achievable! Sorry, but NO!

[lone turret]

None of the away team events are scoring properly at all

[idle parcel]

I agree with the angered sentiment of many.

And let's not forget the new priority away team that they make impossible to successfully complete, and now I'm stuck on a mission point I just started.

This is getting beyond ridiculous. People have been saying enough with the long grinds, so you give us even more grinds.

It's a big middle finger to the players who've invested countless hours playing this game.

It shows you only care about making money and not about making a game that everyone can enjoy.

[lone turret]

Yea have to go to away teams tab and pull the new items there for more speed ups, I was just where yea are a couple hrs ago. But yea can’t finish that mission without a khans champion which yea get from the upgraded faction store and yea need a buttload of fac rep to do that.

And this slow mode is a pain in the ass also, doesn’t help with speedy replies to help others.

[jaunty ingot]

Everyone complained on scoring on this Evolving Enemies SMS yesterday, the event took to long, due to the hostiles strength and the low scoring.
We also all acknowledge that you are going to be adding a ship to counter these hostiles at some point.

At no point did anyone say "josh, that event was far too easy, I hope Scopely make it more challenging next time".

So in the intrest of keeping the community that pay for the content in the loop, Why was the even made double as hard?

As an Ops 43 I cannot punch up high enough to make the scoring worth it, so I am now forced like many others to punch down (38 system...) to a system that has population issues and low scoring.
I have spent 20 minutes so far and have 267k out of 744k score.

In what senario is the it ok to have a player required to spend over 45 minutes on a single focused hostile hunt for an SMS?

[austere mortar]

45 minutes only? that’s really good! some of our guys are going 3-4 HOURS (g5 and g6) at minimum

[umbral tinsel]

@full swan we and me are asking for a response about the enormous grind with augment hostiles. We have asked multiple times and still nothing from you or your fellow community manager….

[warped ether]

ive spent 90mins attempting this, only half way t0 what i need, not carrying on with the event, yesterday was bad,whoever decided it was a good idea to then double down for today, well, you need to have a word with yourself!

[balmy oracle]

Scoring was bad yesterday, all are complaining and now you double it? 😄 Great move Scopeley

[idle parcel]

Thanks for the reply. I guess I'm not I'm not completing that mission.

And that grind and today's impossible reds event there makes this an even bigger middle finger to players, like yesterday's 2 hr grind wasn't bad enough.

[balmy oracle]

Only thing im missing is the answer "Weve heard your Feedback and we dont care"

[carmine topaz]

They just don't acknowledge it.

[jolly oxide]

The silence is deafening and speaks volumes.

[marsh spade]

Why double the scoring for EE Augment? 8.25M and I couldn't even complete the 4M yesterday. People have lives outside this game you know!

[dark topaz]

@full swan
Did one of you guys ever played the event yesterday or today? and if yes, do you really find it cool to grind hours to finish it? do you liked wasting your lifetime for this?

[final viper]

What a joke

[crimson ravine]

Try 513M today and it took ages killing 66s for half the points yesterday. 🤬

[lime solar]

Time to start putting up the 1* reviews in the app store, I guess...

[digital socket]

2 days in a row Battelpass not scoring correctly

[long lintel]

I couldn’t complete yesterday’s event. Now the points needed have doubled?

Wow. Scopely really doesn’t want us to play this arc.

[molten marlin]

if you have the 6th fc slot, unseat the commander

[placid minnow]

And they're running this heroic version again on the 13th, 15th, 19th and 25th. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[digital socket]

I've only got 3 slots, just more "features" to enjoy I guess...

[idle parcel]

So, I'm now 0-3 on the priority away teams, as they give you traits you can't get on any officers.

So now, I can't complete a mission or an event, and yeah nah, I'm not spending more hours hitting those ridiculous reds.

I just went to Ops 61, but I think it's time to evaluate if it's worth it to continue playing a game where the company does the complete opposite of what people want. We don't want to be tied to our phones hours at a time. Most of us have lives and family outside of this game.

It's been fun, but this latest release is seriously making me want to delete my account and bid this game a farewell.

[iron fossil]

EE Augment Exile Engagement Heroic gave me 1700 pts for killing hostiles in the old augment space and suddenly stopped giving me any points for killing them. I'm only ops 23 so I can't kill any of the hostiles in the new space. WTF?

[quaint vessel]

This is a game that people are not finding fun to engage in the events. If it is not fun they won’t play it. No players means no spending.

[idle parcel]

No spending means the CEO can't get his new yacht.

[long lintel]

Mid players are telling Scopely this isn’t working, but the announcements are about whales that can’t whale. Well, whales only whale when they have mid players to whale on. Fix the grind so that mids don’t leave because the whales will follow when they can’t whale on the mids. 🤷‍♂️

[arctic talon]

what is the point of this grind

[vivid basin]

As someone who started playing in earnest during the S31 events, I think it gave me a false impression on what could be obtained through event rewards on the regular. Not only are most of these season events effectively impossible for my power at 29, they'd take way longer than I'd ever have to spend to actually get them done and the available rewards are much lesser than before.

It's a shame, but maybe it's better to get disillusioned some months in rather than several years later.

[lime solar]

You mean the Saudi Public retirement fund can't buy the yachts...

[earnest plinth]

Are you kidding me? Or do I not understand the 26 event mission correctly? It tells me to buy a Champion package in Augment store, which is only available after reaching ‘superior’ status with this faction? 7 million points to go to ‘patron’ and then even more? Just for the event mission?? I do have a real life after all…

[idle parcel]

It's a hard pass for me as well. I just won't be getting some of the rewards during this thing. Oh well.

[shadow trellis]

Yep already failed yesterday sms and not gonna be able to do today’s

[graceful linden]

Do I "hear" other people saying that the SMS is ridiculous with the amount of hostiles we need to kill? I think it took me around 2 hours yesterday for 5 mil points. That's just waaaay too much.

[wintry ember]

91M pts. 6.7M in 1 run. gonna be about 14 Ent-D hulls to complete this thing.

[cinder arrow]

148m points needed this is a joke scopley the event is meant to be a quality of life improvement and the only way my life is going to improve is by deleting the game. Yesterdays grind was bad and today would have been worse with yesterdays mill stones but we have 3 grind events on the calendar today

[idle parcel]

So, apparently, I just heard that in order to get those other traits to pass a priority away team, those are on the new officers. Wow.

[native sentinel]

Scopely, you missed the mark! The EE events are ridiculously wayyyy too high to complete. The WoK hostiles are already tough enough, but the amount needed to complete the SMS is way too high. And how about the respawn rate of the survey ships.... and the GS-31 can't use it's big gun on the D7s.... really Scopely.... where is the Arc supposed to be a quality of life improvement????

[vivid delta]

It must be manipulated in some way as there is no way the app is 4* have you noticed that when asked to review the game, in game you can only give it 1-4 stars or 5 stars 🤣

[stoic linden]

I did yesterday's evolving enemies event because new arc and all that. It took some science and playing around with what I had to make it work. But even still after all that science It was several hulls worth and several hours of grinding ships to get the job done.

Today you doubled it. Sorry but no. I'm going to nope out of this one. I prefer my sanity over doing whatever this is. Already enough to do in the game as it is but this on top? No no no.

Thanks for coming to my feedback ted talk

[plucky flare]

I'm not even bothering with this ridiculous sms. Yesterday's was ridiculous enough.

[vital lark]

Didn't listen to us the first day 90% of the people in my alliance barely finished the first milestone and yet you double the requirements! So they want us to grind how many hours and hours a day just to finish. You guys are dumb scopley. Best i can do is 52's 112 per wow. Time to start thinking about another game if this is what the rest of the arc has in store.

[trail adder]

The grind vs rewards for the elite augments is so not worth it. I'm not going to waste hours to gets bread crumbs.

[ashen notch]

You all know what so great about this new hostile grind event? We get to do it 11 times (6 regular and 5 heroic)... 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[vital drift]

Nope.

[idle parcel]

This thing says complete a priority AT, not pass. I failed a few, but they are completed. This should get me to advance. Way to stop people from wanting to play the game. This WOK has been a complete 💩 show dumpster 🔥.

[rough ravine]

Wait... what?! People complain about the Grind of the Evolving SMS yesterday. I log in today and see my top tier point requirement is DOUBLE what yesterdays grind was. See ya. I have better things to do than play this game any more.

Lol, just read up and I see this is a VERY common complaint. HELLO... is anyone at Scopely listening?! You guys REALLY screwed up this event. People are going to leave the game over something this atrocious.

[carmine topaz]

Scopely people are angry and you wont even respond to us!?!?!?

[lunar light]

Honestly at this point the best thing to do is not spend like you normally would and don’t do the events. They have the ability to track both of these things and when they notice both are hovering at zero they will hopefully figure out why. They should figure it out sooner as opposed to later. Once people move on to a different game it will be difficult to lure them back.

[runic meadow]

@full swan the game is now more💩, I have condensed everyone’s feedback for you.

[distant dagger]

How much do you wanna bet the CMs have these channels muted, or to not notify on @s

[void light]

CMs know its bad even on the VIP server they have said as much. They just have zero control over the live ops team. If live ops decides you need a 💩 sammich all you get is a 💩 sammich

[tribal halo]

Thank you for your feedback. Rest assured we've looked into the matter, and the feature is working as intended.

Absolutely terrible event, not participating until scoring is fixed

[rapid quail]

#ArcFail

[regal oxide]

As mentioned a few times previously tonight..👀
Doubling an already ridiculously high grind event scoring metric, probably isn’t the brightest thing you lot have done.

I suggest a fix ASAP before the whole player base collapses.

#nomoremoneyforyou

[urban violet]

Why is there no g6 Mats in the heroic EE grind.....61+ ops grind for G5 mats heroic waste of time more like

[quartz wind]

305 hostiles yeah todays event can go screw itself

[open panther]

I know this point has been driven home six ways to Sunday since Arc launch, but I’ll pile on. The Evolving Enemies SMS needs to have at least one zero knocked off the requirement. I know my ships are not the strongest at PvE, but as an ops 58 player I killed 500 lvl 50 hostiles which was 15 hulls for my Sanctus! It took me over 4 hours! Then today I had hope that you would either do a different event, or listen to the feedback yesterday. Nope, same hostile grind today. No thank you…I’ll pass!

[hollow flare]

I did the one yesterday cause you know new thing to play with, saw today was double the points and no g6 rewards and decided I won't bother 😂

[umbral tinsel]

No response says it all. Probably laughing at scopely headquarters. 🙄

[fickle mantle]

And the worst part is that these events are supposed to be every day during the arc lol

[idle parcel]

That's a nope for me then.

[full swan]

Nobody is laughing.

[umbral tinsel]

Then give us all a response please. 🙏

[hollow oriole]

Yeah, but they're not fixing anything that matters either, just "balancing" things like DTI.

[near otter]

One message removed from a suspended account.

Feedback survey is online, i believe you all know what to do. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc1SoBqTR0aycJMDdC4aCdQOZoAcTibgxIw18mgc4Uxrt369g/viewform

[white kayak]

There should be 2 events : a normal and a heroic. So you can engage on the arc or push it if you have the time or money (and time to get that money) . Even for a non-casual player (every day, 1h + ) , it's just too much.

[tame terrace]

I don’t think Ham has a response. My guess is they are still waiting to get a response from Scopely. (If my understanding of how things work is accurate).

[rugged oriole]

All these people saying they have had to spend five/six hours doing this grind makes me wonder if they should perhaps find other things or people to fill that void with tbh.

[quartz wind]

I can only make a good faith guess that they are prioritising fixing the technical issues over event rebalances, unfortauntely with these exile kill events being frontloaded and massively over scaled they are just exasperating the issue especially as a lot of players will today have thrown in the towel on ever achieving the meta SMS now

[umbral tinsel]

We are waiting for 2 days so that would be weird.

[runic meadow]

Happy to help👍

[hollow oriole]

We will get a "compromise" for this "meticulously balanced arc" in the coming days 😜

[runic meadow]

Standard Scopes, peeps are still buying battle pass, I’m sure a lot of people are rocking Khan as FC, so they just keep quiet, make a few adjustments, then dangle another shiny thing in front of the players.

[umbral tinsel]

[small snow]

This arc is not worth my time. Think I will take a break until the next one starts. @full swan what is the start date for the next arc so I can plan to check back?

[upper turtle]

So much for an anonymous survey.....first question requires in-game username/level/server......nope

[tame terrace]

@full swan

1. Not to add your your ridiculously long list but can you tell Scopley their “fix” for the D’Vor/Feesha is no fix at all? Many people don’t have maxed out D’Vor and/or Feesha so that “fix” doesn’t work for them. And it still didn’t allow people to score is the SLB, which to be honest, was the one I was more upset about.

2. Yesterday’s arc event was heroic….(It took me all day and the only other thing I got done was restocking my iso matter.) Today it is insane.

Does Scopely understand that this is recreation, it has to fit into our real life…if it doesn’t fit…real life isn’t the thing that is going to get dropped

[small snow]

You can leave it blank and still respond.

[upper turtle]

it says it's required field...and my emails at the top

[small snow]

Hmmmm. Did not notice that part. Thought it could be skipped…. Apologies.

[celest tusk]

Exactly, a fix for some is still NOT a fix. Scopely doesn't care unless you spend money, I bet they purposely released the event for that 2 1/2 hours past change over.

[limpid galleon]

how shall we do this "know your enemy" mission? if we can fight champions only when we have the augment rep at max? i mean the grinding is hell, but nobody can actually grind that much until the end of month

[twilit adder]

This entire arc is trash

[worldly cedar]

Grind Grind Grind Grind Grind Grind Grind is this message getting boring? Grind Grind Grind 🥱 Take the hint Scopley

[marsh pond]

yeah i guess someone messed up with those champions' requirements how do they put all at same level, that is 3 above our past top of 1 million, maybe they should put the epics for exile, rare for superior, and so on, leaving cadet already open on past top lvl, that way at least we could do that mission on time, because frankly as i see i'm unable to get 59 million reputation points on 18 days

[smoky rose]

Player base: the requirements for this Event are way to high - hours of grinding and repairing ships.
Scopely: OK, we hear you, we'll repeat the Event with double the requirements of the previous one.

[stone quarry]

Love the mechanics in the Wrath of Khan Arc when it comes to scoring at LVL 44.

[idle parcel]

Then there's the Priority AT too. I'm 0-3, and I can't even get beyond that part in the mission, even though it says complete, not pass. I completed them. Just failed them. I have no officers that can guarantee 100% success. Scopely maths endures anything below 100% is 100% fail.

[hidden lantern]

Pro for this Exile Arc event: possibly getting an officer for free with some grind.
Cons for this Exile Arc event:: Setting the grind goals way too high (no one is going to spend the six whole days it will take for a trash officer)
Suggestion: Either lower the score on the sms or increase the scoring per hostile to something reasonable.
If it takes longer than 30 minutes of grinding, you're wasting my time and the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

[coarse canopy]

You know when Devs are even putting out vids calling the new arc, a little too hard...you'd think Scopely would listen...nope....

[idle parcel]

Yep. After yesterday's debacle, I'm not about to spend hours again hitting those things. Scopely has many of us at the brink of calling it a day and being done with the game. It's not fun anymore when we have to spend hours grinding or being stuck because of paywalls. I just went to 61, so hardly no speedups, and using lat is ridiculously expensive. I'm about done with this game.

[warm kestrel]

Scopely, The earliest I expect to engage with this content is about 100 days after whenever you plan to release the ship. Do you think you could have the loop balanced by then?

[worldly cedar]

What percentage of players have completed the level 26 mission? Now the remaining percentage are unhappy. Is this math easy enough? The arc math is way off 1+1 does not = 70, 000,000

[high wharf]

I figured up how many hours it will take me to complete all milestones for the "Heroic" SMS, assuming 8 minutes per trip and 17 (generous) hostiles per lv 52 space trip. Because I have 2 and a half hours to do this ...

[idle parcel]

Nope. I'm passing on that.

[eternal osprey]

#STOPTHESILLYGRIND

[cunning chasm]

200 of those to complete event? Really Scopely?
With buffs can kill 5, with buffs and better crew maybe 15+ and that's with nearly maxed pve research and a lot of primes, now imagine someone F2P. This really need to be reduced, by A LOT.

[charred nexus]

So get everyone to complete archives for devor then release event after.

[eternal osprey]

#NOMOREENDLESSGRINDS

[cunning chasm]

That will take some time scrapped two on T8 to get feesha, got another one just upgraded to T8 and that takes a weeks for last tier.

[charred nexus]

It’s the slowest grind in the game

[eternal osprey]

Does anyone at scopely have any common sense? Or an idea of time management?

[inland tulip]

Yeah you know this is crazy. There's no way I can catch up on these events now. This might be the first battle pass in years I don't even attempt to finish.

Not once before has the event seemed this dragged out.

And so far Scopely has not seemed to listen.

I just hit 61 this weekend and was so excited. Now I'm just sad.

[eternal osprey]

#downwiththesillygrinds

160 Hostiles and I’m not even half done

[tame terrace]

Ummm we had one player do it…but he also a grinding machine and I think using the section 31 ship helped

[lean cargo]

Just filled out the survey. Hopefully ~10 pages of 1/5 ratings and a comment of FREEDTI will be useful feedback for you.

[distant dagger]

#bombedworsethannagasaki

[prisma spruce]

Finally finished the grind but it best be a lower number tomorrow. This was ridiculous

[tame terrace]

Does it have to be critical success or just success? I just used some of my strongest officers and got one of the missions over 💯. The second away mission that came up though I couldn’t get it above 40% so I didn’t bother with it. I am not going to tie up officers for four days at a 40% success rate. MAYBE if it was two days or MAYBE if it was four days with an 80% or higher chance of success
But 4 days at 40%…..meh…no thanks

[limber stream]

This events store for the Kahn event is cheeks

[eternal osprey]

Can’t finish the grind because scopely wont let me into the system

[distant dagger]

#reviewbombthemoutofexistence

[lime solar]

Unspecified compensation announced for unspecified issues, to be given out *maybe at the end of the week... I reserve judgement until I actually see the compensation AND appropriate fixes to the content. Just giving out compensation without also reducing grind requirements to a reasonable time balance (nothing over 30 minutes of straight grinding to complete the event) will likely not be sufficient.

[eternal osprey]

Like seriously 20mins trying to warp to a system is 20mins I could have been grinding the stupid amount of Hostiles to complete the ridiculous event

[idle parcel]

It's just success, but so far, none of my officers give me 100%. The length of these things is bad enough, but then to tie up officers for 4 days for a fail is nuts.

[obtuse shuttle]

Ohhhh reason why today's evolving enemy is double yesterday's requirement is it is a heroic event.

Replace heroic with wallet event.

[eternal osprey]

I think it’s more someone cant do maths

[tame terrace]

Actually, I at first thought that was their solution to avoid adjusting the requirements…label them heroic instead but then I saw the amounts were doubled. (FYI Scopely, YESTERDAY’S was heroic….today’s are “Not going to bother”)

[obtuse shuttle]

All in all scopely really screwed the pooch on this event roll out.
All starting with the 4 hour delay to getting the relevant events outs.
Even more when they claimed to have fixed it when its not.
And expecting players to completely max something to gain said reward you already should have to begin with.

[eternal osprey]

How about 245 Hostiles just to get to the halfway mark #utterjoke

And I still can’t pull any of the new loot chests

[solemn tulip]

The loot chest costs are absolutely insane.

[coarse canopy]

4 hours to grind out the event.... Scopely is way off on what they expect people to do. Its a game, not a 2nd job. We have some that simply cant spend that much time on a game, not with work, families, and real life tasks. Events shouldn't take more than 20minutes or so, past that, there is no excuse. People have real lives.

[silver stag]

The new update just made the game worse. I can't even touch anything because it just goes to the rotating circle 🤦

[molten garnet]

This ARC had so much potential, yet it is the absolutely worst ARC of all times. The ARC developer(s) should be absolutely ashamed of this product. Hours of grinding for absolutely no reason and then low level dead end missions that required multiple levels of faction gain to complete. This is beyond ludicrous!!!

[spice falcon]

They keep saying there trying to make the game less of a grind and they they introduce a grind event (evolving enemy) and today they doubled the requirements 😂 i couldn’t finish it yesterday today not even going to bother

[scarlet steppe]

32 hours later-Still Nothing-10 Comp chest won’t fix this one and I haven’t even received the ONE mentioned-Smhhhh

[grizzled compass]

By far worst event I've done so far.

[obtuse shuttle]

They just want to let you know how much of a winner you are?????

[lilac oracle]

Are these sms going to be updated? Are we stuck with them?

[barren grail]

I went from being thrilled that OG Kahn was going to be a thing to being so horribly disappointed it's depressing.

[short pier]

Why would a hostile that has a 90% chance to kill you only be a 3x bonus? There's literally zero reason you'd ever willingly make use of this bonus. AND they're often 2 levels below the others in a system so you'd get even less points.

[wheat walrus]

To think I was looking forward to this arc...... so far its 💩 . I find myself choosing RL over this grind for everything...... TBH if this is the way they are taking the game I am out. The grind to reward ratio is just crazy stupid.

[keen stump]

You guys REALLY misjudged the work to fun ratio on this. Mistakes happen but I am the most disappointed by the fact that the first day quest was too much and you got feedback saying so. The next day was worse and instead of pulling that quest/replacing it/modifying it, you let it run. We need to hear from Scopely about making this right and giving players the advancement they should have gotten for 20 minutes work rather than requiring 3 hours work. Also, a ton of trit need to be gifted, soooooo many hulls to try and finish these poorly designed quests.

[sick token]

Look on the bright side, they didn't string us along for 18 days of hard work and screw us in the end, they let us down early so we don't need to waste our time on this group of events this month, didn't finish yesterday, didn't even try today.

[winged niche]

Don't waste your time just Skip event and Accidentally you Cleam new Archive D freesha it's your fault one Question I am level 46 and Fresha next tier in level 51 how to Claim indipendent Archives

[subtle nest]

ATA is a joke, have to send some of my best crew for 4 days for a 30% chance to complete. And added to the hostiles that have a 90% instant death. Why bother

[onyx bloom]

And what the hell is a Khan champion?!?!?

[spice falcon]

the new missions in the argument store

[onyx bloom]

Thanks Grecian, I don’t know why I didn’t look there this whole arc has me (and most lol) a little crazy

[spice falcon]

the trouble is by the time we unlock the rep the event will be over we need like 60mil rep

[solemn tide]

i'm pretty sure this has been addressed ... but how do you expect an ops 28 player to get Augment Rep to Superior for a mission? Please enlighten me and others. I'm ops 61 and find it ridiculous at the Scopely math for the grinding of hostiles and rep you gain from hitting hostiles (which is minuscule). Everything about the numbers regarding the new and improved Augment theme is horrific!!!

[narrow kelp]

Sickening kill counter on the augment hostiles needed for the event. QOL from the last 2 years removed by the time added here. Delusional how you think everyone of us must be unemployed and doing nothing but grinding

[barren grail]

@narrow kelp or filthy rich to buy our way to a win.

[dapper plover]

Additional Feedback:

Could we in the away teams officer list pane get a filter that hides all officers that are part of a preset please?

The new auto assign is great, but i'm always having to pull at least one officer out because they're part of one my routine crews. Being able to filter them out would be amazing.

[icy marsh]

@full swan gosh...just look at all the fun i'm having!

[merry storm]

I got nothing in the D'vor and Feesha event despite already having several pillars done when those were added to the archive.

[sharp thistle]

With the "heroic" grind events, is this actually going to be possible to do without them? Since it doesn't have a heroic tag yet?

[merry storm]

What's the deal with the WoK mission saying exchange 15K splicers but the Augment store wants 600K?

[austere mortar]

@full swan nice updates, but why are you completely ignoring our negative feedback and dare i say outrage about the insane grind event with minimal rewards with the “band aide” heroic tag added to it?

[cyan forge]

Bei 42er 1270 Feinde killen... ihr spinnt doch, dann halt nicht.

[stark nacelle]

The last few story lines have really been leaving people out between focusing on ops 40+ and the number of bugs seem to be expanding and none of them ever seem to get fixed. Will scoply ever fix some of the basic issues like constantly crashing on apple ios or android? And the # of events that are requiring purchases in the store on top of the other issues are super frustrating and more and more players are quiting do to theses issues not to mention the top alliances turning their server into free for all heck scapes. I have turned in tickets and support requests only to never hear back after weeks of waiting. I have loved star Trek for decades but this game is killing my love for the IP

[floral hound]

This was the worst grind since mantis came out and all the systems were broken and it took hours to grind a single day refine 😂

[signal wraith]

Yes. As always. I gave up barely halfway through (so 3 milestones) after accidentally hitting a 2nd d7 in the last 20ish hostiles. This arc blows and I love WoK.

[visual furnace]

can we get overtime pay for this EE event?

[umbral tinsel]

Let me guess still no reaction to the augment hostile event. 🙄🙄

[winter sand]

New augment grind, total BS. Not gonna waste hrs grinding.

[lusty tendon]

Here is math for EE event:
56,560,000 points / 182,000 per 54 hostile = 310 hostile.
310 hostile lvl 54 / 15-20 per hhp of t7 sanctus ~= 16 runs.
16 run * 15min run = 240 min = 4h

[frosty sandal]

Please change the scoring metrics for EE Augment Exile Engagement and EE Augment Exile Engagement Heroic please before event reset. I’ve already done 1 of each and knowing there is 5 more normal events and 4 more heroic events of these coming is daunting 😢

[maiden condor]

They also need to change the metric for the new augment chests cause no way is anyone going to grind 2 hours a day for a single pull.

[feral finch]

First of all: Please extend a day from 24hours to 48hours worldwide.
This would very helpul having more time to waste for the new priority 1 red grinding events.
Second: don't forget to increase the maximum red cap counter to 10000 per day, otherwise you can cancel the first task.
Thanks for the best event arc ever since few days. 🤗🍻🍻

[idle parcel]

Hi. It took me 4 tries, but I finally got it. Use officers with the most health. I had a 95% chance to beat it, and I did. I was able to collate it quickly with the speedups. Then the next mission part is the Khan Champion, so yeah nah, not doing that ridiculous grind in the new Augment area.

[modern urchin]

I'm sure they'll just sell us another ship, prime, exocomp, forbidden tech, chaos tec etc to help with the grind and rinse whales dry

[white bridge]

Dear @rose oracle, do you really think that the pointless and annoying clicking of 500 ships per day means that people think your new arc is great and that they get excited about the game?

[idle parcel]

Yeah, this is crazy. After 4 insane hours of hitting 54s, I finally got done, but then when I heard it was even worse for the current one, I decided I'm not grinding for this. The Mission needing the champion can pound sand. I just went to 61, but this whole new update is souring me on the game. Forget the insane grind for a sec. If they want to introduce new grinding each month, then with the new grinding should come a QOL that gets rid of at least one other grind. Freebooters was made to reduce the grind. We are doing way more now before Freebooters. Why not add one or more of the many grinds to Freebooters? Silents, Xindi, MU, the Rev grinding, could all be added to Freebooters, along with a 61 plus Freebooters.

But, this latest release is a dumpster fire nightmare. Many of our higher ups are even angry about it. As others have said here, no grind should take more than 30 minutes to complete. This game feels like a FT job. It's supposed to be a relaxing game to enjoy for fun, but Scopely is killing that vibe. With each new release, it gets harder. I don't even bother with the Epic wave solos or the 60 wave solos, as they made them too hard. They really haven't been listening to people. I saw a lot saying they will quit because of this. Can't say I blame anyone for feeling that way.

Also, it says a lot (nothing good) about Scopely when basic things on the game don't even work, like needing 3-5 times to get into the game because the annoying preparing screen just spins and spins while this happens in the game too going to events, freezing in a building, 30-40 second lag to load the event rewards screen, random lags in game, and the check your connection and boot after hitting one wave red. If you're in a solo, there goes your solo, and a ticket must be opened to wait a few days to get a refund. Oh yeah, in Arenas, after the 2 plus minutes load time, having both ships locked, needing to reload another 2 plus minutes. By the time you get in, the Arena is almost over.

But, we are supposed to be excited about a new event that gives us even more work and makes it too hard for even higher ups to do?

[dapper plover]

I've mentioned it before but i'm pretty sure the test team had full access to maxed officers and prime research, including officers from the new arc when they tested the balance. I can theroycraft a crew setup that would let me do the common splinter grind in about 30 kills. But it requires 1 officer that's not even available yet, (WoK Carol), 1 that no ones maxing for a few months (WoK Joachim), and 2 more that where released so recently no one is going to have them maxed yet either, (S31 Georgicu and Annorax). Only SNW Pelia is old enough and available enough for anyone to have any chance of having maxed.

It wouldn't help me at ops 42 deal with the uncommon splinter grind, even a perfect crew can;t take the 42 enemies on, but i could do the common grind.

It also wouldn't help with the event milestone requirements very much.

[idle parcel]

Ugh. Wow. True. Hadn't even thought of the new officers in play here, as I don't buy them. I wait months for the subpar sourcing. 😂

I'm a new 61, and 54 was the biggest I could kill. Took me about 7 or 8 trips to complete yesterday's 500 ship grind. I didn't bother today. It's angering to see lower players like yourself say you can't even complete anything with these new reds. Scopely really messed up. Even with me, a 61, the lvl 29 augment kills me. Not cool.

[dapper plover]

yeah my max at ops 42 is like level 36 or 38 hostiles, though i kill 32's atm from the splinter grind as the higher stuff drops the kills per repair too much. With my current setup i can get about 120k common splinters from a bit over 50 kills, (i've got annorax and S31 Georgisu unlocked but not maxed, same on SNW pelia), before being destroyed.swap telora out for carol and move everyone around and then throw WoK Joachuim below decks and max everybody and i'd go upto nearly 500k from the same number of kills, and i could probably get 50 kills out of level 34's due to delaing more damage and mitigating more incoming, which would double that.

[woeful ledge]

63 here, going 64 and this is the worst arc in a long long long time. C'mon Scopely, this is Wrath of Khan and you make us hate it for its massive grind in overcrowded systems where a single hostile can kill you any time. And I am not even mentioning performance or bugs here...

[subtle nest]

typical scopley fix, next week you can buy a prime or CT that will drop the d7 to only a 80% chance to instant kill you for 100

[idle parcel]

No compensation chest will make this better. The whole thing needs to be revamped. As @woeful ledge said, many have been waiting for this for a while. Scopely is making people hate it, and the game as a whole. People have jobs and families. Most don't have 5 hrs a day just to grind for a ridiculous event.

[dapper plover]

As an FYI i've dropped some screenshots of the crew and ship i'm using in the guides and infographics channel if anyone wants that info in more detial.

[twin knoll]

I am wondering if the rewards for this grind are worth more than the rss I spend repairing my sanctus 9 times (estimated on ships per hull) I am currently 3.5 hrs into todays grind and expect it to run just over 4 hrs this is NOT what your playerbase wants to see in a new arc you really really messed up here I dont think you will be willing to put out a comp chest big enough to make folks feel better about this arc/game.

[austere mortar]

the longer the radio silence about our complaints, the more i think there may be something to this:

[spiral ether]

The only thing heroic about the EE Augment SMS is the mindset of the person in scopely responsible for these scoring metrics -- they want to be a hero to their bosses.

[spiral ether]

https://tenor.com/9Rkk.gif

[blissful igloo]

Let me guess, in WOK part 2, we will be offered the chance to purchase the Reliant, which will have 35000x the damage against these hostiles

[sturdy rampart]

And it will be immune against warp core destabilization, so it would be able to grind passively and will have loot boost

[vague patio]

increase rewards from the enemies as well

[hollow flare]

I had the same convo with someone in my alliance, I'm convinced they tested this on a level 70 account with maxed research, officers and either a maxed epic or maxed cube and decided it was fine based only on that and just scaled it down forgetting that's not how it works

[dapper plover]

Entirely plausible. TBH though i think having access to just maxed officers and a couple of primes would do a ton to mask the issues as the apex barrier and the isyolitic damage are the major things that make these enemies tough. Get enough isyolitic defense and apex shred and they get significantly less scary.

[dapper plover]

Nah thats what WoK Carol is for. the issue seems to be that enemies are so much harder to kill than expected that you need her to make it bearable, instead of her being a way to shortcut things. I mean if as an ops 42 i could take on the level 40 enemies with my current crew i could get a pulls worth fo common splinters in 20 kills. But the level 40's are too strong for me to kill.

[little hill]

I just got killed three times by Exile Traders. I thought the first was because my ship was pretty much dead. I can live with that. The second appears with my strongest ship. It's healthy, and so I hit it and die. Okay, annoying, but I have another ship close by so I'll still be able to get it as I was alone in the system. Hah! Ship three dies on the exact same trader as ship 2 and I realise they have insta-death mode too. These are the first traders I might actively avoid, like come on. They barely appear and when they do, they can fry you? Not cool!

Also, I love gas and I need gas, but I don't need it enough for this level of grind. I'm getting tomorrow's single pulls and then I'll get some sun. It isn't worth it! My repair bills are too high for this 😭

[marsh pond]

scopely has never been good with numbers, unless of course it counts good for them, last one, the 1% discount on pioneer crest for a 10k item in research, should be 9900 right? but no, its 9901 , do they really need to scratch that bit too? lol. this is far from the imperial/metric fight, in metric a 100% discount from a 100 or whaterver number equals 0, but here nooo.. it really means 50%.. someone needs to go back to math class.. or is it a marketing tip to fake prizes? (i've seen that irl too)... then they put a ship, those traders that have a 30% chance to deal a deadly blow before combat even starts (when you are charging skills on your ship) but a poor battle log that doesn't even say what did happen, according to my logs and those from aquatic xindi seems to be a 60% instead of a 30% stated

[warm fox]

For me this Arc is already over, can‘t Hit the 300+ Hostiles a day every day - especially If the 36s system is totally overcrowded by 50+ and even 60+ players.

Have fun, I’m out 👋

[viral monolith]

The grind for the new arc is killing the game. 198 lvl 60 new hostiles, along with allllll the other grinding to stay relevant in the game. This is nuts. Are you trying to kill the game? If so you are doing one hell of a job.

[late orchid]

Apparently scopley doesn't think we all have lives outside of this game. I'm about to phone it in entirely on this arcs events because I don't have time for this crap

[vague sorrel]

Other than nostalgia reasons, is there any reason to participate in this arc?

• The hostiles are ridiculously tough
• The grind is a nightmare for no reward
• 0 officer XP for the grind
• 0 faction points for the grind
• Almost no loot for killing the hostiles
• The faction rewards are ridiculously high for what little you get from the hostiles

[full portal]

Thx Scopley.
4h grind for 500 ships, no thx!
You don't see my money enymore.
Becouse your stupid grind event I can't even lvl up.
See you after 19 days!

[celest silo]

you lost me when you suggested they had a 'test team'

[dusk bridge]

there wasnt a battle... they used new tech to make your warp core explode... and if youre a romulan... shame on you for stealing that federation shuttlecraft

[fluid gust]

dilithium is a power regulator, not a power source.
so even though romulans use a singularity as power source, it doesn't mean they won't use dilithium to regulate that power.

[peak sparrow]

Hi.
Anyone a good idea how in hell we should manage to get enough Augment Reputation to unlock the champions for the last Mission?

[vague sorrel]

you become a Board Member at Scopely.

[hollow flare]

Scopely expecting me to spend 4 hours killing hostiles for 0 G6 materials is extra funny

[mint berry]

You are killing a lot of our free to play and cheap to play players, heck even some whales with this grind. These event goals are rediculous..300 hostiles! This won't push spending it will just push quiting.

[orchid lion]

And where oh where are Scopely? Where are their underlings there is no response to the hundreds of complaints no acknowledgment no we heard and will respond. Stone wall silence. They are all crooks liars and thieves. Shame shame shame and pox on their houses.

[dapper plover]

It's a power regulator in the sense it regulated matter antimatter reaction rates. It would do nothing for a quantum singularity. Though to be fair the same logic aplies to the klingons, they use fusion power, and based on DS9, so do the cardassians, at least for their stations

[austere vigil]

“We test everything before we roll it out”

OK, and? All that means is your testing methodology is not effective quality control and needs to be readdressed.

[hollow lichen]

can't say that neksy, you will be muted for 24h like i was yesterday because I suggested the same. can't be advocating a boycot. only positive feedback here please

[queen kindle]

You can be negative, this forum is filled with it. You can't break the rules.

[green ibex]

Shame freedom of speech is banned here … Nesky makes a good point and scopely needs to wake up . Removing what Nesky sad wil make sure scopely never understands players frustration. What rule did Nesky break ? Making a suggestion????? Wow

As long as WE the players give them our money for content that’s broken or out of touch with the game like these weird milestones and we are gonna hide the truth here … then what’s the point of discord and scopely learning anything othher then feeding and earning on addicted people like us to this game … you want our money . Then listen to the players !!!!

[north granite]

I didn’t know the government was involved on here and punishing people for things they say

[plush fulcrum]

They don't need to listen while a new ship makes them $1 million in 24 hours, keep churning out ships, and who cares about anything actually working

[sullen oracle]

@full swan I am really tryign to stay positive about this arc, but this is what happens when the people designing things don't paly the game. WT heck would you make a PvE officer that is critical to almost EVERYTHING PvE required on a FOUR DAY away team

[spark cypress]

And done! +50% more tonight? Because slapping heroic in the description makes it all better 🤣🤣🤣

[north granite]

It’s to make you use reroll tokens or speedups, then run out eventually, and buy more.

[hallow wigeon]

you are not supposed to let the mission run 4 days. you are supposed to buy away team speed ups

[cosmic slate]

I was totally looking forward to this storyline, but aside from all the wonderful bugs introdcued with this release, like warp freezing, this daily hostile grind is absolutely ridiculous. Just not enough time in the day to grind for 3 hours. Not even closely balanced @near saddle

[outer umbra]

Insisting on only positive feedback, and deleting anything that goes against this is censorship - and defeats the point of the channel. It encourages to players vote with their feet, rather than even bothering to highlight concerns.

I have several players in my alliance looking to quit the game due to this arc and the EE events - some understanding and helpful responses from Scopely would go a long way.

[warm haven]

Lower the milestones for the evolving SMS. Its stupid the number of points for lvl 60 based on the hostiles I can kill

[mint berry]

So much good on this arc, and it is all being ruined by these sms milestones. They are aweful

[wanton schooner]

Took over an hour to get this far and 10 deaths. Not worth it at all. The hostiles are just too difficult to get a decent score per kill

[charred trail]

missed the heroic milestone by 6 kills because the game crashed 5 times today costing me 3-5 min of load screens.

[vague sorrel]

3 days in to a new arc, and Scopely is already repeating events? Yeah, there was 0 thought in this.

[signal wraith]

As I said in my AC... Yay today we went from the garbage heroic grind back to the garbage regular grind. What genius looked at filling the event list and said "hey let's open the arc with the absolute worst grind we've ever done then run it EVERY DAY". How did you guys make arguably the best of Trek the thing that makes droves of players not even want to login?

[verbal surge]

How tone deaf can you be. Players are tired of grinding hundreds of hostiles every day, yet you changed nothing.
Terrible arc where player input gets passed on by CM's but nothing gets done about it
Booo

[shut geode]

does everyone get compensation for the impossible event? Scopely is not listening at all to the feedback that has been given about this for days 🤬

[solid mulch]

Fix the bugs. Now it’s the syndicate, weekly and daily events not paying out.

[oblique ore]

And another hostile event with insane ... or better ridiculous milestones. Does anybody read the messages here? How much time do you think, people have to do boring grind events. Such a event need several hours...and this is the easy one. If you try to chase people away, you do a great job. Otherwise i would apologise, offer a compensation and reduce the milestones by factor 10.
<@&509690795536941056> @full swan

[sharp thistle]

So I am assuming this garbage event is going to keep rotating, normal insane grind then the next day double the grind and call it heroic. Rinse and repeat without even acknowledging all the players complaining about how insane this ridiculous grind is. Great feedback you guys are getting, can't imagine why.

#FreeDTI
#Stop the Grind

[thin void]

Geez. 3rd day in a row of this horrible grind and you STILL have not figured out the milestones are horrible. For crying out loud.

[hard sentinel]

They are still running it because people are still participating in the event even though they complain about it. The only thing that will get through to scopely is non participation. Let their metrics tell them this isn't what the players want.

[vague sorrel]

What would Scopely do, if we all decided to not log in for 24 hours. A full day of no activity on their servers.

[deep halo]

Good luck get salary next months @rose oracle . I'm out. Bye bye

[visual furnace]

Love the imagination...more EE hostiles today

[brazen latch]

It’s hirogen tomorrow according to the schedule, so that should be easier assuming you have voyager and its leveled

[thin void]

All they had to do was adjust milestones/scoring and folks would be fine

[unique hemlock]

this is all probably INTENDED for profit reasons. yeah no not giving my money

[oblique ore]

Too simple and not challenging enough for their masterminds 😜

[vague sorrel]

It'll probably have milestones set to 5 mil, with Hirogen below 50 scoring 1 pt, above 50 scoring 2, x2 points for surveyors

[sharp thistle]

You'd think if it was in tented to make some quicker cash, they would have added the USS Reliant already and it scores 10X the points and can autogrind, but I'm guessing scopely haven't thought that far ahead.

#FreeDTI
#Stop the Grind

[rain spade]

These EE Aug Engagement events are horrendous. They are taking the fun out of the game and making the game feel more like a job you grow to hate. The scoring is completely out of whack. Events like these will drive ppl away from the game, not draw them into it. Nobody wants to spend hours trying to complete a single event day after day.

[timid totem]

They’d probably assume the grind was too easy and everyone finished, then raise the milestones. Also, they’d scale down their servers and when people logged back on it would be a lag fest. Well, worse than usual.

[sullen cave]

<@&509690795536941056> So with all this hostile grinding you are asking us to do... when is the daily hostile limit being increased since I hit the limit 4 hours ago and now you want me to do it for ZERO rewards 🤡

[timid totem]

<@&509690795536941056> has left the building, apparently. Or they are too busy trying to finish this horrible arc’s daily grind. Ha ha ha just kidding they don’t actually play the game or they might actually stick up for the community who are all totally going to leave the game because this promising arc is horrendously implemented. Would be nice if someone actually acknowledged the overwhelming negative feedback.

[radiant sedge]

s

[worldly cedar]

What can we do to make the players happy, Let's have a grind BP event to go with the Voyager grind and the cube Thursday grind along with the armada grind to take their mind off the grind debacle. You release the archive D'Vor event after most had used the tokens. A level 26 mission where part 3 will take months to finish. A 4 hour grind a day arc because you don't understand your own game and have said nothing to put things right. We are waiting....................

[sinful canopy]

#NO MORE GRID

[astral pewter]

The time its taking to fix isn't on scopley, they put the fix into apple for approval within hours of it showing up. Apple is the one dragging their feet here.

Are players on iOS going to be comped for all the events that have been paid out? Dailiy, Weekly, Syndicate? Today we’re supposed to re-up on Vindicator pulls.

[low remnant]

As I play with crews and techniques more, I no longer think these grinds are insane for the points for the SMS. I did mine in under an hour with two ships today, and it wasn't too bad.

BUT - the grind to make daily pulls on the augment exile faction store chests is absurd. Please lower those costs.

[spiral ether]

[obtuse shuttle]

<@&509690795536941056> is there a reason you can issue the event points required to complete the new mission SMS, yet can't seem to correct the issue with the independent archive events that scopely delayed release of?

if an event is required for a meta it also shouldn't be a "heroic" impossible for most players to complete. I don't understand how anyone thought these events were put together in a way that is anything but cruel to your players.

[novel mango]

Is the goal to see how many grinds you can add before everyone just quits in mass?

[rose ice]

The weekly Apex Outlaw event includes a SMS event for killing Exchange and Augment hostiles

But the event has not been updated to include the new Augment hostiles. Those Augment hostiles do not count.

So not only are players tasked with killing a bunch of new Augment hostiles. But we also need to go kill a bunch of OTHER Augment hostiles

#NotPlayerFriendly

[spare island]

I gotta kill like 500 hostiles to complete this event

[novel mango]

But they hear us about to much grinding. 😂

[kind widget]

My D'Vor Archive is still showing "Requirements Not Met" when I have the requirements to finish it. You told us this would be fixed and it clearly hasn't been. Please fix this issue. 🖖

[molten marlin]

You need to open a support ticket if it won't let you progress even though you're supposed to be able to. #👽-how-to-contact-support

[woven kettle]

There are 5 levels of khans champion. Great idea for missions to guide through content. How about you could have just let level 1 champion be unlocked right away instead of gated behind the first new (ridiculously high) reputation level?

Edit: never mind it’s not even the first new rep level it’s somewhere beyond even that. THAT is the issue.

[glass pewter]

They said they will release a chest to grab the mission milestone since they are math challenged. I may have took some liberties with that last part but it about covers it.

[unique bison]

The scoring adjustments for the archives don't compensate for those who don't have the requirements to fully finish the archive... is this something that will be compensated for en masse or will we just have to individually submit tickets for the points?

[versed hedge]

<@&509690795536941056> really still need to look at the Evolving Hostiles event scoring, and no compensation for the 500+ kill events we werent able to complete the last two days?

Especially since there is a progressive SMS attached to these events, now impossible to complete too without compensation

[lost osprey]

Let me speak for Scopely here, “less whiney whiney, more grindy grindy……..and buy a pack”

[obtuse shuttle]

Only to have support tell you that you have 19 days to complete the event that they delayed release of which screwed anyone that upgraded the pillars in question.

[frozen dock]

I’ve not done anything more of those evolve events they are ridiculous after doing 4 milestone on the first round at around 3 hours intensely boring bashing <@&509690795536941056> someone needs to ok at this or do we put up with until we get another ship loops to add to the 6 ship grinds we already have running ?>

[shut geode]

Scopely truly thinks kill 5K/8K ships every day. When will you realize that that is impossible! 🤬

[marble parrot]

Thats amazing.! The same thing that happend last month...is happening again.

Comp chest coming.

Cause nobody is doing events.

Ill be ashamed to work for scopely. No really. 😔😔

And we all know what next month brings.

[glass pewter]

Count yourself lucky. 74M barely passes my second milestone. 🤣

[shut geode]

Think we get new special ship next month, typical Scopely and old story

[hollow flare]

Oh I read the announcement and thought they'd fix the scoring, but no it's still the same as day 1??

[low remnant]

Brain Busting Trivia for the new arc?

Sorry <@&509690795536941056> ... don't waste your time with this trivia stuff. We're all too busy trying to pull our chests every other day

(Edit: Sorry for the ping Phillip... didn't mean to reply!)

[timid totem]

I keep hearing about comp chests but haven’t gotten any. Can’t even do that right?

[molten marlin]

It hasn't been sent out yet.

[blissful junco]

I have to say I'm very disappointed. In the Archive Event, I had brought the D'Vor from T1 to T3 after the "fix" to T4 and still only got 200 points instead of completing the event. And in the Augment Exile Engagement, I have to shoot down 800 ships to complete the event. No way.

[glass pewter]

Can we request that Scopely begin building the comp chest for next month's Arc? 🤣

[timid totem]

So basically they are giving a comp chest for points for an event that will be done by the time the chest comes out? That is a very scopely thing to do.

[quartz river]

oh hey.. now we got homework and study to do... if you want to take the quiz. LOL

[spring rapids]

<@&509690795536941056> Any updates about the iOS update? Any reason why Apple is holding up the release of the update?

[novel mango]

Probably Scopley code is the problem.

[bronze token]

Are they keeping track of the events I miss or do I need to figure that out somehow?

[rigid crown]

Apple likely asks for some quality?

[sand geyser]

I don’t feel confident.

[polar sphinx]

<@&509690795536941056> can the spring choice officer store be opened again. Couldn’t spend any tokens because of maintenance and log in issues

[bronze token]

Is there a $99 pack I can buy for more confidence?

[ashen urchin]

<@&509690795536941056> It is really concerning that rewards go missing and you never receive them!! You think you received it but in the meanwhile your support finds out you ACTUALLY never received it. I did not even know and the ticket raised was not even for missing loot... As I mentioned in my reply to support is that this is the 3rd of 4th time scopely confirmed chest rewards was not received on my account. How many times has this happened and to how many people???

[rapid quail]

I fired 5 dom solos just today for Vindicator event and got only 1 starter chest. It's happening frequently. @full swan this should be added to known issues. It's not just soloes I've experienced this but Formadas and other grp madas I've fired. No starter chests populating.

[wheat walrus]

Well the "we have listened" appears to be BS. Still more unachievable grinds...... I am out...... might see yas in a month, or might not

[idle parcel]

Thanks mate. Couldn't find your response in all this. Looks like they have into part of this. They still haven't acknowledged the 4 hr daily grind that many aren't doing. There's enough to do with the regular events and the dailies.

[dark horizon]

Probably "dragging their feet" cause the app is badly failing automated validations 🙂 So I would not blame on Apple entirely.

[stone quarry]

This Arc is a waste of time if you're under level 46. Is Scopley encouraging players to leave and the Whales and Employees to Make more accounts? What a Farce.

[idle parcel]

This dumpster fire event may be what tanks this game. I know I'm not doing this event anymore, not after the first day of a 4 hr grind.

Besides the obvious lowering the scoring and compensating for people not doing this event, they need to make these not as hard and give better rewards.

Also, if you really want to draw people back into the game, then stick to your QOL promise. All these new loops and currencies need to be wrapped into a Freebooter. Make them part of the dailies. I just went to ops 61. On top of everything else, 61s have the 61 plus hostiles to hit and the hazard ones.

Many of us have lives outside of this game, and they will always be more important than the game.

This is just a game.

We will leave the moment it no longer is fun.

That moment may be soon, and is now for many based on the comments.

Do something, and do something soon, unless your goal is to tank the game. If so, then continue on this path, as the deathroll of this game has started.

[fresh monolith]

when will this be fixed?

[elder fern]

Not sure who to credit with this meme but… yeah 😂

[hidden lantern]

still not going to do WOK Evlovling Enemies SMS event, lower the goal or increase the level payaouts. You still aren't listening, this arc is DEAD, and your player base is sick of long grinds for 💩 payouts. This isn't Monopoly GO.

[thin wasp]

Things are getting stupid, we have players who have been playing for years now leaving even our ops 70's have had enough, you have shot yourself in the foot with this unplayable arc.

[trail solar]

yup, ops 66 f2p here, also on the verge of quitting. Scopely will never change.

[random oriole]

Still no iOS update. Today is no events accomplished.

[pine yarrow]

I had one unless there is another one we are waiting for?

[gleaming goblet]

How is a Comp chest going to work when everyone will need rep points too . scopely needs to stop letting the dumbest story writers design arcs.

[twilit spindle]

Sim issue I have unlocked 9/12 but it is NOT scoring @ all.

[thin void]

I just downloaded the iOS update

[opaque hawk]

@full swan middle of a weekday quiz again???

[median belfry]

Hey @rose oracle.. we called for not more grinding, what we got.. more grinding with high strength hostiles.. dam, noone want a hour on top of dailies. Put the the new agument hostiles where no sun shines. Btw, you merge the 145 with 163 was a disaster. A lot of player are totally demotivated and will quit game. Prepare for next merge. 🍻

[fluid gust]

the comp chest will take away the time crunch.
you can complete the mission event without completing the mission, you can then spend as long as you need to get the rep so you can eventually complete the mission.
no rewards lost.

[iron fossil]

Is it just me, or are there no Wrath of Khan items in the Event Store? Are there supposed to be?

[full swan]

Nope. This one you can take whenever you want between tomorrow and next Friday

[opaque hawk]

awesome, was at work and hadnt read the whole post, thank you very much @full swan

no, on a completely different topic, how bout getting rid of the hostile limit since we have to kill 5 million hostiles a day now for all the loops... kinda tried of people complaining the game is bugged cause they stopped getting loot, when its not a bug its an artificial limit on progression.

[full swan]

Are you sure you don't want to ask some other really easy question about the trivia instead?

[gleaming solstice]

Isn't that the only kinds of questions we get answers to anyways... the easy kind?

[full swan]

No you get answers to tricky questions too. And speaking of questions, if you have any about the new arc you should add them to the Q&A form! https://discord.com/channels/509679626763632640/509685530108362773

[opaque hawk]

Oh #freedti 🤪. But really tons of new grinds, and while I appreciate the amalgam and dvor/feesha archives, they saved 10 seconds a day for me. All my time is spend killing hostiles till I can't anymore

[shut aurora]

This #EvolvingEnemies SMS is the worst one I can remember. Taking hours and hours for one simple SMS

[twilit adder]

Tiger’s arcs are always awful like that

[wise marsh]

I still can’t get the update for iOS. Two full days after the events started

[molten marlin]

reinstall

[wise marsh]

You should put the update out for iOS days before the event so that it is available when the event starts .

[red fiber]

You missed the mark on this ARC Scopely. Time to reset and recalibrate on what you introduce to the game👍

[prime pollen]

scopely the comp chests on this arc never came out, the game itself for the arc is bad. where is the fixes? also where is wave defense event comp chests!!!!!!

[sharp abyss]

Are people actually doing this EE sms? Ain’t nobody got time for that! 😆

[low remnant]

Took me 1 hour this morning.

[frail egret]

How does scopely justify failing my 91% success mission? Total bs

[zenith wing]

9% of the time that happens. tells you right there

[vague patio]

my 99% AT failed too, its just probability. you're more likely to win than to lose but theres a chance unless its 100% 🤷‍♂️

[warm kestrel]

I cant remember the last time I had an away team fail. Sadly, the 1st new one I tried failed. Made my wallet pucker

[errant wind]

The endless eternity event (EE) that’s my new name for it is garbage, I would suggest to all to boycott it , this has to be a massive low point in Scopley history,

[raw bramble]

Im not gonna be spending an hour and a half a day smacking 300+ aug hostiles for event. Scoring needs an adjustment. Not worth my time or effort

[acoustic token]

spend all your time on one sms that you cant do anything else 🤦‍♂️

[warm kestrel]

honestly, you can keep the rewards. I've lost all motivation to participate in this arc. Ill try to complete the battle pass events but the rest of this particular runner's event style just isn't enjoyable and doesn't incentivize me to spend $. The content is usually good after we get through the event calendar though, so at least there's that to look forward to. 🖖

[dusk bridge]

I get failures on 100% success chance ata assignments. I'm trying to work that one out.

[jagged bolt]

Hi, can this be fixed?

[brittle latch]

Oh my gosh, what kind of weed is that algorithm smoking? I finally got my first golden away team mission, made sure my best officers were available, and it gives me 15% chance of success. Spoiler...it failed. That's the last time I play with shiny new toys right out of the box, geez.

[marble cosmos]

I’ve only gotten critical successes so far lol what did you do 🤣

[brittle latch]

LoL, oh no... just me then? I broke my toy? 🤪 I don't know, but I know I'm just going to treat it like any other mission from now on, no speed ups allowed, lol. But seriously, I tried their auto select, I tried it manually, and the officers that were picked, they usually give me a crit with double rewards. It's weird. But oh well, live and learn. 🙂

[runic meadow]

I would submit a question, but the form ran out of space with all the rude words being used.

[marble cosmos]

I always select two officers by the key stat first for the new missions and then a third with one of the critical success skills

[brittle latch]

Yep, tried that and a half doz other different ways, it never made more that one or two per cent difference. So I just ran it, thinking maybe the golden missions got lucky more often, lol. Nope.

[marble cosmos]

What ops are you? (You can respond to this post with number emojis since there’s a message cooldown lol)

[dapper plover]

yeah i gave up on the event stuff besides the battlepass day 1

As anither example of how nuts this event grind is. I decided to sit down and burn through my entire 2 month long backlog of dominion solo armada directives. I do it every 1-2 months like this. Its taken me about as long in terms of playtime as people are reporting taking to get one of the event SMS's done.

When a single daily event item is requiring as much work as an entire 2 month long saving induced bender on one entire loop, Its a sign something is messed up.

For the curious i did 3 epic, 7 rare, and 19 uncommon dominion solo armada's

[reef sky]

For crying out loud, are you really forcing us to kill 100reds for an event everyday for the full arc???

[marble cosmos]

Only 100? You have it easy 🤣

[dapper plover]

Personally i managed to get upto 46% on my first swing at it, i'm ops 42 with 2276 officer power, (which is clearly fairly high for my ops as my mess hall is well ahead of my ops level). That said if i had a better source of badges it would be a lot higher. I've got a lot of crew with maxed out shards, but they're only at level 10 or 15 because they're capped by badge access.

Though to be fair i did note this was an issue with all the new sources of shards back on day 1 feedback i gave. It was bad before. But the new sources of shards in the augment store are going to make it so much worse. Hell id take being able to exchange 10k transporter patterns for a badge of my choice without any complaints.

[reef sky]

Indeed I have alot of research done and the necessary crew available but it's still 8 flights to a system and kill 10 to 15 reds, whilst avoiding the d7

[dapper plover]

you can freeze the D7's same way as the faction hunters

[reef sky]

And I do, but many times I sent my ship to the system and got distracted elsewhere...

[dapper plover]

know that issue, happens to me too. But seen a lot more people who don't know you can freeze them.

[rare locust]

Raised a ticket for the Archive Event cause i unlocked some Feesha Archive Steps before Event Start. The answer - unlock the whole Archive and just claim it and it will count to event. Cool, i'm OPS49 so can't finish Feesha Archive to claim because of the higher OPS requirements. Goooood Job Scopy, frekkin good job...

[dapper plover]

same issue with both the egular D'Vor and the Feesha, did their archives before the event popped up so now can't get the progress i alleady have to count 😦

[rare locust]

And Scopy Support give a 💩... Maybe we need to buy a 100 💵 Pack in Shop first to get their Attention 🤔

[subtle nest]

DTI, server merger issues, and then this ARC. Giving them more money prob wont happen for long time. Scopely hasnt been good at listening to the community lately.

[rough dune]

I wonder if they know they ran Voyaging Beyond a day early. It is supposed to be a Friday event

[hollow oriole]

I'd wonder if they care, but honestly given the responses to date I'd doubt it 🤣

[shut flint]

This new arc is Garbage you have to play like 8hrs straight to even complete the Augment hostile event it seems Scopely is more catering to whales than F2p players it is all about $$$

[small rover]

Noticed that when I popped on earlier this morning, lol. Smh if it comes up twice this week 🤣

[rough dune]

It woulda been sweet if it was on time, today's EE event is Hirogen

[small rover]

Interesting thing is, there's a five minute discrepency for the end timer.

[twilit musk]

good luck getting a community manager, i sent them a legitimate complaint still never heard back from anyone ! they don't care about playing customers..

[small rover]

🤔

[ocean crypt]

yuor new away team missions are a farce to all the pilots already gained, a miner that gets 100%+ in a normal mission , only gets 15% in these new ones, total joke

[blissful sonnet]

how about we extend the augment event due to the emergency maintenance (and whatever additional maintenance is coming to actually fix the problem)? that was over my one window of playtime this morning and now I don't know that I'm gonna be able to finish it

[misty burrow]

I want this as a skin!

[drowsy vine]

Not to mention issues getting logged into the store for mission key claims. That has cost me several hours of extra cool off from my other afu daily claims, but more importantly, this affects the mission claim event. This should be compensated

[misty burrow]

I have that one. I want the Augment version!!!

[errant chasm]

Anyone purchase something in the Augment store this morning an lose their credits to a communication error?

[pale mulch]

I lost my Progress for today's events.,, I tried to reload and I can't load in again so??? what is happening I am trying not to get Mad!! Again This???

[spare merlin]

Where's the hostile event gone?? Had 1 run left to complete it before the maintenance @near saddle @full swan

[late orchid]

How are we supposed to complete your insane objectives in these arc events when the game is completely unplayable

[normal jay]

also disappeared for me right before finishing. also, the login server is down

[terse moss]

Now I can't get into the web store to claim mission key 🤬

[exotic wind]

Hope we’re getting bp event credits in the comp because I’ve not been able to complete it yet and we’re fast approaching reset

[pine pine]

I was on last leg of EE Augment Exile Engagement - SMS, nearly done, now Event has Disappeared .

[dark horizon]

at least you can log in

[lofty glen]

Game isn't scoring the events

[cedar moss]

so close to actually finishing it and then they pull this crap. 😐

[cedar bay]

<@&509690795536941056> I was so looking forward to this arc and instead it’s been the most frustrating few days of STFC so far. I hope the team understands just how bad they’re dropping the ball. Absolutely wild…

[pale mulch]

Again this ??

[spark cypress]

Was 8mil short on sms. Noticed it wasn't showing in events. Thought relogging was a good idea and now can't get back in 🙃

[ornate jasper]

If we talking about the same event I was stuck at 450k to go and killed about 2 million worth before I realized it wasn’t giving me credit 🤦‍♂️

[half flare]

PLEASE consider extending today’s events by a couple of hours. They’re really grindy and the game is down while lots of ppl are trying to finish them up.

[pale mulch]

Again? Also, I would put up a 24-hour shield, but I can't log in ???? If I get Raided it's on you Scopely.......

[misty oasis]

How many updates and arcs have we had and scopley still can’t get it right?

[plush wharf]

They worked late into the night ..thought it was fixed..sleeping now unaware of problem???

[true beacon]

Don't know what scopely have "fixed" but now I can't even login, joke

[spare merlin]

Quality of life my butt, game won't load now

[spare temple]

I am REALLY logging into the Monday talk fest now. But will be muted in a picosecond

[lusty sphinx]

Shoot I was finally logged back in for like 45 seconds

[dark horizon]

I believe this is 78 ? -- they even number them so we can better keep track of them 😉

[pale mulch]

I can't stay awake all hours of the day or work when it suits Scopely... 1 day shield and fix all the B.S Plz I am only getting to 66% load now....

[lofty glen]

Extending will only help if it suits your timezone. They should give the rewards to every player for full completion of events

[lone turret]

Can’t log in, voyaging beyond sms not scoring, archives broken (have the perquisites, they just don’t count though apparently) and a few other issues.

The arc is broken. Game is broken. Years of Scopely bandaids piled on top of each other along with the overloaded content haphazardly added without any testing has finally caught up to them but they still get paid with players money.

[wide quartz]

The D7s....the blog post says they have a 30% chance of blowing you up....in game, it says it says there is a 90% chance...which one is true? I assume the 90%?

[quasi rose]

Nothing is scoring....

[jolly heath]

Welp, going to be unable to even finish the BP Overflow because I cannot log in to finish that event before the reset. Thank you Scopely for making the achievable impossible while also giving us "Kill 500 Hostiles" events. Wonderful.

[jolly oxide]

#freedti

[plush wharf]

I didn’t realize Kahn’s hair style was 1960 female gogo dancer

[chilly cedar]

Just do away with the impossible events. And those 10min chest. More clicks more load more lag.

Can't log in. Wasted time on the grind..again.

[warped nymph]

Same

[pale mulch]

same👆

[lone turret]

Trust Scopely to blame us for the problems they make. Comp chests are going to be far less than what yea may lose through arc event Incompletion.

[novel mango]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-no-gif-23142380

[humble coyote]

Comp claims coming soon 😛😝😜

[ornate jasper]

The survey ships have a 30%. The zone defender d7s have a 90%

[half flare]

As I already finished, I’d be fine with double rewards 😂👍

[lone turret]

I’m just waiting for this discord to fail from the massive overload of rejection and broken dreams from all the players that Scopely is causing…

Sorry, commanders may not log in due to the hurt feelings of all the staff…

[lofty glen]

It was implied to be for players that hadn't completed 😅

[icy marsh]

i'm so glad they fixed the lag by making the game not launchable at all! great job guys.

[drowsy junco]

This new arc sux for low lvl players. How in the hek can we finish the missions in a week.

[gaunt wraith]

HOSTILES DON'T SCORE.

[coarse aspen]

You guys have pulled the AE SMS event… how is one to complete this event now ??

[formal bramble]

They’re going to publish an update to unbreak the last update that didn’t fix anything that was broken. At this point, they’re justifying their own existence.

[serene blaze]

Is the syndicate event gone for everyone or is it just me?

[misty oasis]

If scopley was a chef

[errant chasm]

Pretty sure I claimed a bunch of Syndicate that didn't count for the event nor get added to my total rep level. Anyone else?

[regal stirrup]

none of my swarm kills are counting for my daily goals. 0

[blissful sonnet]

now events don't even seem to be scoring--I hope you guys can make this right

[umbral ether]

upgraded a part, used 700 rare g5 parts - didn't score anything

[white moat]

Doing the Apex events this morning, and neither of them are scoring at all.

[vapid ocean]

My grind I was a couple of million from completing is now gone

[serene blaze]

don't have the event anymore 😦

[earnest sand]

Several events seem to be missing. Like the Archives building one, syndicate advancement etc

[lucid idol]

Back from my two day ban for "promoting a boycott"... didn't know voicing my discontent was such a horrendous offence!! Seriously guys, its absolutely pathetic that you can't take criticism, if you're this thin skinned you're defo not working for the right company.

Well done for breaking everything, this arc has been absolutely ridiculous so far! The compensation chest better be monumental

[shy summit]

This arc has been such a huge disappointing blunder that I seriously have zero desire to even play right now. Like what is this EE/AE grind BS?

[barren junco]

Such a broken mess, no way they get compenstaion correct for all these screw ups.

[crystal onyx]

Just wait for the ship they'll want you to buy next arc for this dumb new grind, at $100

[toxic kindle]

I can't score in events. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful comp chest for everything missed today. Claims and faction timers are off. It'll lose me one day of Syndicate XP for the event... etc.

[lusty sphinx]

Maybe they could back out 78, fix it, QA it, and then start it over.

[civic hedge]

Dominon solos are not scoring for Dimensional Breach. Anyone else?

[shy summit]

QA it? Does Scopely even have a QA team?

[umbral ether]

the ship upgrade event just scored for me, and I'm now getting scoring for apex hostiles event

[pale mulch]

They need to stop making things so Hard and let ppl enjoy the game if it is a game and not just a money-making Scheme that won't let ppl have fun without spending thousands of Dollars and hours........🙄

[grizzled pelican]

Great, more events that I lost out on because they game doesn’t work. Let alone the countless bundles I was charged for but not delivered, including ones I spent $$ on in the store.

[turbid hamlet]

SLBs better be extended a day because of this

[toxic kindle]

or give everyone 1st place rewards?

[white moat]

You actually try to compete in SLBs?

[vapid ocean]

Wouldn’t hold your breath

[novel mango]

Server 40 is up but everything is running like 💩

[crystal onyx]

Their testing went well

[dire nymph]

The already impossible meta events are even more impossible when the game isn't available

[civic hedge]

Sloppy scopley should give us all the daily claims for today and all rewards for the daily events. Then reset all timers for claiming daily to 12:00 am EDT.

[hoary dagger]

Are we still not up and running? I've been trying all afternoon...how do you expect anyone to complete events when the server has been down for half the day 😕

[plucky cove]

They seriously banned you for suggesting a boycott?

[hollow lichen]

Yup, you can't suggest anything along those lines (I can't even say what he was suggesting to boycot) or you get muted. I had the same and it made me close my wallet to this game permanently because that's not how you treat your customers.

[plucky cove]

That’s just not right . I dunno why people are still spending $ on this. I occasionally get a battlepass, but no more until they improve the quality and treat players with a little respect

[dreamy sluice]

At this point I think we need a volunteer from every major city to organize a pub crawl for players. Just saying ...

[novel oak]

You can't. Lower your expectations.

[chilly sequoia]

Lower than that, dont have expectations

[sand geyser]

That’s us

[shut geode]

does everyone get free officers to do this? otherwise the event remains pointless

[ornate grove]

Khans champions

[lucid idol]

Yeah, power has gone to the discord mods heads tbh. It's ridiculous that levelling well deserved criticism at Scopely resulted in me being banned for two days. I wasn't nasty, offensive, or anything that actually warrants a ban. I simply suggested people think carefully before purchasing the inevitable ship next arc, as Scopelys business model now seems to be "release broken/tedious content, then release a new ship that makes it more bearable"... we shouldn't be enabling it (inb4 I get banned again for this comment and one of the power tripping mods deletes it like they did the first time)

[rapid arch]

It would be nice if they listened to their customers and the community managers were responsive

[versed grotto]

It's because they dont want you suggesting that. Get around it by constantly speaking out and say you refuse to spend on something is ok, but you can't suggest it to others!

[frozen dock]

<@&509690795536941056> All the superhighways are now broken what are you Developer doing trying to kill the game this is the worst update since i started playing it is truly awful impossible goals and random breakages

[lucid idol]

Just in case anyone doubts I was muted for voicing my opinion, here's some rock solid proof for ya... will not be surprised if this gets deleted as well since they seem to be quite staunchly against freedom of speech:

Also, how else do they expect us to voice our discontent?? We attempt to give feedback and it is ignored, CMs essentially ignore the discord until there is massive outcry over something, and even then they usually disappear pretty quickly. What other option do we have to actually make Scopely sit up and pay attention? They're sure not listening to the constructive feedback they keep insisting we provide, why waste your time banging your head against a brick wall? It's all well and good banning boycotts, but they don't listen when we try to let them know what isn't working for us.

[haughty minnow]

I can't login, so they kinda started their own boycott 🤣

[iron python]

It is one of Scopely's rules for this discord, yes.

[scenic jolt]

And now I got this after my post was removed.

[amber prairie]

Be happy you're an EU player.. If you where a US player you would have been send to CECOT instead of a 2 day ban 😆

[ashen urchin]

The incompetence at Scopely has reached levels that are no longer just frustrating—they're downright insulting. It's not enough that every update breaks more than it fixes; it's the blatant refusal to acknowledge or address core issues that have plagued this game for years. Events are copy-pasted with zero effort. Server stability is a joke. The lag is constant. Missions glitch out. Ships get stuck. Rewards vanish. And support? Completely useless—canned responses and empty apologies while nothing changes.

You’ve had endless feedback from a passionate community literally handing you solutions, and you ignore all of it. Instead, you double down on paywalls, time-gated upgrades, overpriced packs, and mechanics so blatantly designed to drain wallets that it feels like a scam disguised as a game. Meanwhile, bugs from two years ago are still live and breaking gameplay. Players are quitting in waves, and the ones sticking around are doing it out of sunk cost or habit—not enjoyment.

This isn't just poor management—it's a masterclass in how to alienate and exploit your own community. At this point, it's hard to tell if you're just dangerously out of touch or willfully exploiting the last few loyal players left. Either way, the damage is done, and the resentment is growing louder by the day.

[molten ridge]

Opened 130k syndicate this afternoon, and no credit for the event.

[potent lake]

This months events so far are unachievable for most ftp players

[tribal halo]

Working as intended.

[shell parrot]

any fix for the khan's champion debacle yet?

[molten marlin]

A comp chest is scheduled to go out today to finish the sms

[dense hollow]

as the trivia quiz been cancelled or as it not started yet

[small rover]

No Friday event? Yes, it was a day early but lmao with nothing today

[tranquil crescent]

have we ever had an Arc start with quite so many problems? To the point where general problems are sent to one side because a platform (iOs) wasn't sorting things, to a fix not actually fixing, to a idiocy of timing being still a problem 3 days later, to complaints about the arc itself still unsorted as the 4th day comes anew....

[white moat]

Freedom of speech doesn't apply to private companies. That's a government thing. Please stop using phrases incorrectly.

[haughty minnow]

That one where people got reset to ops1 and moved to other servers was pretty bad

[halcyon goblet]

i am disappointed: in order to skip the EE-event i have to focus on lost-enemies only due synergy 😅

[golden juniper]

Its obviously your fault for not enjoying the subpar product the Scopely team continues to put out

[dense venture]

Know Thine Enemy Part 2 is there an issue with this? It says to complete a priority one away team assignment which I have done 3 of these so far and it still hasn't progressed to the next part of the mission.

[molten marlin]

have they succeeded?

[dense venture]

no? But why would that matter fail or succeed either way it's completed. It doesn't say succeeded at a priority one away team assignment.

[molten marlin]

A failure doesn't count.

[plucky cove]

<@&509690795536941056> its communications 101. You’ve got a lot of really upset people, your silence speaks volumes

[dense venture]

Wording is everything if that was the case then it should say succeed at a priority one away team assignment. Wouldn't have wasted my time or speed ups if that was worded correctly.

[tranquil crescent]

So now that the Data Archive Specialist SLB has been 'completed', does that mean it's been lost from the minds for Scopely developers? Or will they still work to recompense the players who couldn't compete because Scopely was late with the event arrivals? It feels like we're whistling in high winds with all that's wrong with this Arc currently 😦

[silent crest]

Is there today no weekly event for the Ahead of the Curve SMS meta?

[molten marlin]

Voyaging beyond ran yesterday, normally runs today

So yesterday you had two events (cube and voyager)

[turbid hamlet]

Thanks for not extending all the SLBs that ended this morning and couldn't login during. Thanks. Thanks so much.

[simple basalt]

How do you yall rate this critical issue

[tiny lotus]

@rose oracle I hope you plan on issuing huge comp chests because all of these issues prevented many, if not most, from being able to complete or to be competitive in SMS and SLB events that have been underway or that have ended. Comps should also be made for all the mats spent in exchange for faction credits, etc.... [waits with bated breath]

[visual furnace]

Please avoid using refinery and faction stores until we have another update from Scopely.

This is a recommendation from Scopely themselves due to currency being taken and items not being delivered.

#⭐-official-announcements message

[copper shadow]

I'm curious if they have an exact time for that comp chest for the missions I know everything we've heard is saying today but when today because there's difficulty in playing the game right now and I'd love to claim that chest before it disappears which tbh I've seen happen before. I'm sure there is many ppl who have put up a 24hr or longer shield and is just walking away from game for a few days

[jolly heath]

... Doesn't Fridays normally have an NSEA event or something? I am missing a weekly event for the day in my events and could have sworn we had a Friday event.

[versed grotto]

Voyager event they ran yesterday is supposed to be today. Another inept move

[silent crest]

There were two events yesterday, Cube and Voyager

[scarlet steppe]

Soooo, WHere’s the Comp chest for 1. The Mission 2. The Button 52 hour freeze 3. The LAG ??????

[celest silo]

maybe coz we already have a voyager event today?

[errant chasm]

<@&509690795536941056> , its been 4 hours since the last offical post. How about a status update?

[tribal halo]

Current status is: crates consume resources, where applicable, without giving the promised rewards. Lag has been greatly increased by the lag reducing patch. The iOS hot fix was sent to the Apple store for review, and Apple decides if and when it becomes available. The inability to complete events has escalated, and even if you complete them, you might not get any rewards due to the chest opening bug. Many people have experienced higher than normal booting from the game, as well as unusually high levels of inability to log back in after leaving or being booted from the game. Compensation is planned in the form of shielding for those who have not disrupted their cease fire, but if you left early, the cease fire extensions do not apply to your normal shielding in the event you can not get back into the game. Any more questions?

[errant chasm]

yeah...what's the plan for all the lost currency on failed turn-in? The oopsie credit isn't going to cut it. People have lost 100s of thousands of syndicate credit, turn-ins from the new Augment store, etc. So what's the update on that? I don't think we need a summary of the problems...those are self-evident. Its the remediation and compensation that I think needs some communication.

[tribal halo]

What do you mean by plan? there is no plan.

[lilac oracle]

At least I could do this ...

[tiny lotus]

OHH-EMM-GEE... now Scopely isn't event giving out points for the 2 hirogen events? this has got to be their finest hour, they should award all of their execs and staff...kudos to all

[cinder flame]

I'm not getting any points for hitting Hirogen hostiles for the Battlepass or Evolving Enemies events <@&509690795536941056>

[scarlet escarp]

Can't login to 158

[hollow lichen]

Boxes still broken with currency taken but no loot

[distant shore]

Can’t login EU131

[bronze breach]

Events all buggered up! Not getting any credit for anything

[ebon flint]

<@&509690795536941056> is there any update on the issues since the last update was hours ago and no progress has been made?

[cloud osprey]

No points for hyrogen events...

[tardy berry]

Epic Fail as usual Scopley

[lethal jasper]

<@&509691205798592532> just a note to say thank you. Even when stuff gets crazy, you do what you can. Your time and effort is appreciated. 🖖🏼

[cosmic helm]

No points for territory defense earlier

[errant chasm]

Looks like another maintenence period...with 4 minutes notice.

[heavy ivy]

they gave 15 in game

[twilit adder]

98 doesn’t even appear to have been successfully taken down. We got a message saying it would be but it’s still up lol.

[potent lake]

Why the hell do they make you wait to get to superior to do champions. You would think they would offer more augment rep. Absolutely worthless

[errant chasm]

As an enhancement...the maintenance bot should really post to both GC (which many avoid like the plague) and AC.

[heavy ivy]

oddly it pulled my chat to GC which is how I noticed it lol

[hollow oriole]

That would probably somehow break armadas

[rain halo]

Also the hydrogen/lost weren't adding up either

[lone turret]

Always with the “we need to fix our screw ups, thank you for your patience and understanding”. Never see “we have listened to your event feedbacks and will reduce future grinds, make ticket responses under a day and make comp chests totally worth your while for our mistakes. Thank you for your understanding and patience…”

[past adder]

@full swan when he gets a ping from this server

[steel rock]

Time to play some Solitaire 🤣🤣🤣

[indigo chasm]

what about territory defense during this unscheduled maintenance?

[molten marlin]

It will be as if it never happened, you keep your territory

[novel nymph]

Really Really bad

[rough thunder]

Thank you for finally giving a daily event for the new event that wasn't the equivalent of a full time job

[jaunty island]

Yeah and you lose credit for the event. Awesome. lol

[static patio]

<@&509690795536941056> ....why is slomode enabled here?
If you truly want to hear everyone's complete feedback, it shouldn't be on.

[molten marlin]

This channel has always had slowmode, it's not for discussions.

[timid totem]

Which channel would that be then? /dev/null channel?

[rich bough]

Trash

[dull topaz]

For me this arc start was a stuttering mess. I received the 400 Matrix Diodes early before the WOK missions dropped. Seeing the prompts in the Holodeck I spent them on the mirror missions. The WOK arc missions dropped later and I realised I should have spent them on the holodeck WOK missions. Now I am stuck and can't complete that portion of the WOK arc events.

[vagrant topaz]

<@&509690795536941056> so this is ridiculous. You buy a 99$ pack to unlock McCoy which gives you extra shards to level him up, and guess what the pack doesn't give you?? enough currency because in this arc, it requires special currency to level up officers which is also shared with the research tree lol. This is terrible pack design. If you get a pack to level up an officer, it should include everything in that pack

Actually the pack is giving independent credits which is wrong. I think somebody designed this pack wrong. It should be giving the new currency

[versed grotto]

This doesn't surprise me one bit considering the recent "mess ups"

[true radish]

<@&509690795536941056> @rose oracle so far this arch is difficult and frustrating that I can't hit more then a couple hostiles at my level. Would suggest some changes to fix this frustration.

1. Loot table, lvl 40 hostile 14,250 common loot should carry down to all ships higher so we don't have to come back down and grind them as well. Same for lvl50, 1,590 uncommon loot, and lvl 60 967 rare loot, hostiles. Carry that max loot forward to reduce overall grind.

2. Why are all 5 khan champions locked behind same rep? They should be tier starting at alley and up to max rep.

3. Priority 1 Pure Pioneer Crests. You need to times the percentage cost efficency by 10 to make it worth while and keep cost for research the same. Right now 1% - 5% efficency is near useless and not worth spending on. Please increase cost efficiency se we can "move up faster" just like you want us to.

[odd socket]

And how are we supposed to do the new mission in the meantime???????

[static snow]

I read a post from Uncle Scopes that said we're supposed to have been granted a widget to grant completion of Know Thine Enemy Part 3, but it hasn't produced itself

[molten marlin]

hasn't been sent out yet, as you recall the game was a mess today

[hollow oriole]

Was, is, will be 🤷🏻‍♂️
They should really consider properly taking it down and doing a proper analysis on the issues

[vagrant topaz]

They just took the game down a while ago to fix things

[hollow oriole]

Yeah, 2nd or 3rd time already today, but they're doing quick 30-60m "hot fixes". Take it down, do a real review, implement corrective actions, and open up again, maybe a day, maybe quicker, maybe slower, but the current process is like putting a bandaid over a stab wound, it may hold things together for a bit, but it won't last and gradually bleeds through

[cursive nymph]

Shut-down for maintenance last night with ships still out, got back in to find one with a 2 hour repair time. I suppose I have to pay for that. I got no message on the ph or desktop that stfc was closing for maintenance left with a 2 hour repair bill. Not happy janelle

[twilit adder]

It’s been a mess every day this week though…

[celest tusk]

It's been a mess every other month for the last 3 years

[versed grotto]

Been a mess daily since dti rollback

[merry storm]

The Feesha and D'vor event dropped right after they were added to archives. It doesn't give points for already completed pillars. So what about players who already maxed theirs and instantly got all the pillars? They can't get anything from that event.

[shell vortex]

Collection still isn't working properly if it works at all. All kinda of things are off schedule now so stuff we should have collected this morning is just now being able to collect, if it collects. Perhaps this needs to be actually fixed and give us updates instead of ignoring everyone

[worn galleon]

Is stop with the cash grab events useful feedback? This augment grind is going to break a lot of people's desire to play seeing this is the future of the game, really bad rumblings on my server already

[merry storm]

I can collect 90K+ splicers per trip to Mutara with Voyager and a loot crew. So 7 trips to do one 600K pull.

[visual pebble]

Would like to add my voice to folks asking for Scopely to address the Feesha pillars scoring that did not tally in the events that have now passed.

The chest claim compensation only worked if you had completed the Feesha independent archive. If you did 9 pillars of the 12 say, you would have scored in two events but due to the delay of those event’s launch a lot of folks were left having spent and leveled and never received the event rewards. Goes for both the SLB Data Archive Specialist and SMS Archive Specialist (Feesha), respectively.

[jade crown]

💩

[gusty hamlet]

So <@&509690795536941056> can you please advise team that can’t do events as the game is unplayable atm

[magic beacon]

Simple solution to all this, go into maintenance, fix all the bugs, then come back and gift everyone FC Khan for the trouble

[craggy elm]

• don't forget the extra slot

[elder fern]

So ummm… when the heck is our next artifact event coming? You give us all this DTI stuff to do and force us to wait for a good event to cash it all in… kinda sucks.

[gusty patrol]

I don’t think small compensation is going to cut this weeks mess.

[lucid idol]

people keep asking this and it keeps being pointed out, they're now running artifact sms/slbs as part of the daily events rotation, so it's unlikely they'll run another ad hoc slb... although never say never

[elfin timber]

How about 2 or 3 ARC without new ships, officers or functions, but a complete bugfix for the game?

[dapper plover]

They don't even need to have nothing, just do some Quality of Life updates to old stuff as an arc and do bugfixing as part of that.

[elfin timber]

every new function is based on a buggy system, that doesn't work. At some point the system collapses

[tardy berry]

whats funny is theyr asking us to "not collect the chests" yet the compensation is in a chest! figure that out lol

[magic beacon]

Omg are they taking my earlier suggestion! We've gone into maintenance step1!

[tropic pilot]

Hi, I would like to know, how do I score points in maintenance SLB? Am I supposed to build a maintenance building to get points? Or just log in after every maintenance?

[astral tiger]

and how would they take your money if they fix bugs without introducing ridicolous content that "magically" requires the Golden $99 $hip to easily kill?

[lost estuary]

THE BUG-EVENT is fantastic. Never before has an event been so successful and perfectly executed. When can we buy BUGs?

[unique kayak]

The milestones are very achievable at least

[elfin timber]

at some point nobody plays this crap anymore, the number 5 in the world ranking list is already fed up with it🤷‍♂️

[twilit adder]

They’ve run several since the rotation started.

[eager hornet]

Maybe I'm just not understanding the new Exile hostiles grind yet. I am Ops 62 with some fairly powerful ships. But, I can only hit level 46 Exiles with any success. (About 10 kills per trip). So, in order to complete the secondary mission, I need challenge & defeat a Khan champion. In order to access a champion, I need to up my Augment faction reputation by about 20 million points. To do that, I need to open about 500 Khan credit chests. It takes me 2 hours & many repair speed ups to collect enough loot rewards to open 1 chest. And, thats only if the D4s don't pick me off first. So, maybe in a couple years I can complete the secondary mission??!!! This is ridiculous.

[brave wigeon]

Crewing matters. I have weaker ships than you and can easily dispatch level 54s. There's a comp chest to complete the Arc event for the missions you can finish the missions later.

[torpid valve]

As I am ops62 as well, I am able to do the lvl60 hostiles with the following crew setup:
Focus on:

• Apex barrier
• Apex shredder
• and iso damage

Some forbidden tech helps as well 😛
..... One message every 5 minutes ... stupido

[brave wigeon]

Know where to grind as well. Level 40 hostiles yield the most loot for Common, Level 50 for Uncommon. I was using loot crews for those to speed it up.

At your level you should know how to avoid those hostiles. Can pretty much guarantee there are YouTube tutorials on it.

[sacred sail]

I am ops 62 as a Battlepass only spender and I can kill 25 lvl 60s per t10 enty hull..... So your ships are not fairly powerful

[queen kindle]

Watch out for the D7s, they're the chasers and are probably blowing you up. 46 is punching way too low for a 62.

[vast goblet]

I'm ops 56 without a Sanctus yet and can kill the 52 without buffs and 54 with but the sweet spot for loot is the 50

[tropic folio]

Try Janeway/Doc/Annorax and I would add Neelix and Kim below if you have invested in nova research appropriately. I can do 6 62s with max EntD

[molten ridge]

I guess I’m the dumb one thinking the syndicate advancement event was to gain syndicate like always and not think it was spend armada tokens.

[molten marlin]

when you reach max syndicate, that's the replacement event

[ashen urchin]

looks like claiming is not fixed yet. so today is the second day of not claiming.

[molten ridge]

Thanks!

[floral folio]

Thank you for the changes to the Evolving Enemies daily events

[molten marlin]

wasn't changed, that's a scheduled event

[elder fern]

I’m thinking 3 days of BP event points should be part of that compensation chest. Sooooo many people unable to do them due to this fiasco.

[elder fern]

Hey, they still do FC SLB’s and FT/CT SLB’s even tho there’s daily events for that! Why wouldn’t they also do artifact SLB’s? Scopely just doesn’t seem to think these things through… very frustrating.

[lean thorn]

great feature on the Exiles faction shop, can we have this in Refinery as well, and everything that improves with ops please (screaming into the viod, i know, but maybe, perhaps, possibly, somewhere, someone will notice and think 'hey, we dont have that already? lets fix it')

[frigid depot]

why can't i get augment faction rep from the lower augment systems ?

[molten marlin]

because they don't give rep and never did

[frigid depot]

but the new system gives rep so why not add the old system to give rep also ?

[molten marlin]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

they did make it so if you gain patron rep, the chasers no longer spawn in the old system

[mental monolith]

@full swan are they bleeeeping serious with today’s evolving enemy target. You want me to kill 1,000 freebooters. Didn’t realise we had time travelled back to April Fools Day because this has to be some kind of joke/prank right. Might as well tag <@&509691417686442004> while I’m here.

[north ledge]

I can see it gives more points for higher level hostiles. How many hostiles of your level does it ask you to kill? What is your ops level?

[muted belfry]

1000 seems an awful lot, unless youre severely under powered

[mental monolith]

Highest freebooter is 60

[north ledge]

Yeah, that seems like 10 lvl 60 freebooters to me

[muted belfry]

math haaaaaard 😉

[mental monolith]

😅 sorry just woke up. Brain saw it as 19k not 19m per kill. Carry on nothing to see here. 🤣🤣🤣

[muted belfry]

oh, no one should have to math after just waking!

[wise wasp]

anyone else having this issue?
i have restarted the game and my pc multiple times to no avail

[molten marlin]

it's level, tiering, trait xp and transporter patterns

[umbral tinsel]

Any news about the comp chest or was the 20K tokens it?

[molten marlin]

That wasn't the comp, that was to finish the mission sms, there will be announcement about the comp at some point today.

https://tenor.com/view/stay-tuned-robertidk-keep-watching-theres-more-more-to-come-gif-19154825

[shadow yew]

the shards for maxxed crew should be converted to transporter pattern

[zenith wing]

they are, it's a long standing visual glitch for away teams

[jolly hound]

Be careful what you ask for, they'll take this as a suggestion to start converting any rare parts they think are helping you progress too fast to common parts.

[shadow yew]

if the suggestion submitted just for the away teams is taken as a suggestion for converting everything else, that would be a problem indeed. sometimes they were too "helpful" in their decisions.
I'm still grumpy about that decision to automatically converting the surplus artifacts to the temporal artifact.

[vivid delta]

Is that both comp chests? One for the mess and one for iOS?

[molten marlin]

will double check

[jolly hound]

Hound them for answers. OH has already acknowledged this question and advised he's working on follow-up.
#💬-general-feedback message

Don't let them off the hook for sticking it to all of us players.

[idle parcel]

So, we got the points needed to complete the mission that needs the khan champion, but we still can't get one of our rep isn't that high? That was rather pointless then.

[slender tundra]

why is there no 5* epic gas or ore in the choice rewards, only crystal?

[jolly hound]

That's how it's been forever. Scopely's illogical decision making.

[fading veldt]

You should only need to kill the amount it takes to do your dailies

[red fiber]

I spent an irregular amount of time grinding today, not going to happen tomorrow fix it.

[mental monolith]

Yeah it was early and my math brain wasn’t mathing yet

[merry storm]

Long long standing issue. Scopely won't eliminate all the nameless abandoned low level player ships clogging up the low level systems. They're also in some other systems. I saw an abandoned Fortunate in the level 50 Section 31 wave defense hub system on Server 702. Maintaining the data on all those ships has to be a significant burden on the servers.

[little hill]

In every other sector, a Trader is a good thing. In Exile space, a Trader is the chariot of the Grim Reaper tempting you into the afterlife. I legit think 10 times before hitting one now! On a related note; seeing someone warp in, hit the trader you're debating over and die, is pretty satisfying. I still want the insta-death feature removed though, please 🙏

PS: Would love to know why I hit loads in the first two days with no deaths, then suddenly they started to kill the first ship, second and maybe third ship that touched them! It's like they had an upgrade or something 🤣

[languid ice]

Y’all just don’t listen at all, do you. I’m ops 62. This event needs 100 kills of the 60 hostiles. At 10 per trip. And I’m in a better situation than many other players.

[shadow trellis]

I don’t even bother with this event got better things to do with my time

[vague patio]

make it so the away teams missions also allow spending of trait xp. speed up 3 priority one researches for the bp event and it alll failed even tho its all more than 80%

[floral folio]

I can kill 10 x 54’s per trip. 73M is 40 trip (don’t talk about survey ships…people have ships in every system just waiting).
This going backwards from their progress the last 2 day. FOMO for something that doesn’t exist is just called frustration.

[sharp thistle]

It is so nice and refreshing to see scopely listen to all the comments about how crazy this grind is...Oh wait never mind they just slap a heroic tag on it.. Great feedback for scopely

#FreeDTI
#Stop the Grid

[floral folio]

And don’t call it Heroic and then link it to multiple meta events. Happy Mother’s Day….

[quiet karma]

absolutely ridiculous putting the stupid grind back after all the complaints !!!

[idle parcel]

@red fiber exactly. I came here to say the same thing. 50 plus reds in, and I only got one tier done. Nope. I'm not doing any more. Thanks for listening to our feedback, Scopely. 🙄

[shut oracle]

Why another stupid event? I'd really like an answer to that. Do you really think anyone enjoys killing 1,065 Reds? It's really annoying and ruins the fun of the game.

[dapper plover]

They never took it away, the easier events where announced as apt of the schedule at arc release. They didn;t change them to make it easier, the Augment enemies are just way overtuned.

If i was killing 48 augment exiles the way i was killing 48 freebooters yesterday i could to this in 20 kills. But i'm not because you can't, i max out at around level 38 and thats less than 10 kills per trip.

[normal cosmos]

y'all are funny

[modern oak]

Which setting is the disable notifications suppose to be on to disable * on or off

[idle parcel]

Scopely - Happy Mother's Day!

Also Scopely - Enjoy spending it doing yet another useless grind!

[thorn belfry]

If i already bought this do i loose out on this reward?

[umbral tinsel]

So what’s so what’s changed really for the augment hostiles? Still need to kill loads?

[errant chasm]

I'm newly OPS 66 and built a T6 Velox yesterday. Today's Herioc still required me hitting 90 64 augment hostiles. Can't hit a 66 at all and the ship is 6.3B in power. I'd say the grind is still ridiculous unless I'm doing something wrong. Crew matches what others are saying is successful at this point.

[idle parcel]

I'm a 61, and the highest I can hit are 54s, and I had to do 51 just to complete the first tier. It's still quite ridiculous. I'm not spending more hours grinding those.

[umbral tinsel]

<@&509690795536941056> the augment hostile event is still a massive grind… :/

[viscid delta]

So... let me get this right... 2.55M points to complete the EE hostile event, 6272 pts per Level 40 (best I can do), means I still need to kill 407 of them.

Methinks their adjustments need adjusting still.

[raw bramble]

"Milestones have been adjusted and lowered" Hostile pts are still the same value and heroic score overall was increased from last heroic Yup, that checks...

[dapper plover]

Had missed the announcments they where tweaking them. yeah seems like somthign boo-boo'd on their end. I'm guessing the changes didn;t apply or somthing.

[jolly heath]

<@&509690795536941056> So if the first rounds of Augment Exile Events were deemed to be incorrectly set for milestones, are Meta SMS points going to be comped for the mistakes made in the event design?

It isn't fair to be punished by being denied rewards for not submitting our very lives to grinding out unreasonable events.

[vale musk]

The milestones are even higher than the last heroic event

[viscid delta]

They meant "Milestones have been adjusted and expectations lowered"

[warped knoll]

don't think so ... I had to kill +/-100 less reds compared to the 1st hero event 🤷‍♂️

[dapper plover]

I don't have any idea myself, i leveled up since then so my bracket has probably changed.

I do know they're still too high though.

I think they're seriously underestimating how hard these hostiles are for players.

[warped knoll]

1st hero for me was 503 kills and now I completed the event with 403. (68-76 kills per hull)
Yes, it takes time, but it's not hard ... unless you're using a less effective crew?
This is what I'm using 🙂

[viscid delta]

I'll try with Annorax there, thanks.

[jolly heath]

Please do bear in mind that milestones are likely different for different ops levels and ability is not a linear scale between ops levels. Since I cannot punch up against exile hostiles the non-heroic grind was over 500 hostiles with frequent repairs.

The issue at hand is the time it takes since non-heroic events are normally stabilized for 20-50 hostiles of your expected performance and this one is wildly out of line.

Edit: This is doubly true once you consider that the non-exile hostile events were normally scaled for exactly those numbers or less and not such an extreme amount of grinding. It is only the Exile Hostiles SMS that is so far out of line for the arc so far.

Edit #2: Also consider the effect that placing such a perceived extreme demand on time and grind would have on players. If the first sets of an arc are demanding hours of grinding for me per event, I'm just going to check out. This is exactly what has happened with me with the Continuum Hostiles. Though they got retuned after the event for those without a Revenant to be reasonable, that initial reaction and experience still colors that section and loop, leaving me with very little motivation to do it. So much of this game is about hooking you on making a loop a habit and this is exactly the way to not do that.

[dapper plover]

This so much. When you can't punch up it inflates the number of kills dramatically. If i could punch up vs augment exiles like i can against freebooters, or Jem'Hdar, or Hirogen, or even faction hostiles. I could do these in a reasonable timeframe. But they're just tuned way too high.

As a quick test i just sent the ship i'd just sent to kill 38 Augment hostiles, (got 5 kils out of 1 repair, i was more crew testing than anything), to kill a 38 freebooter. The freebooter dealt 1/10th the base non-isyoltic damage of the Augment Exile, and it took 13 rounds of combat for me to kill the augment vs 4 for the freebooter.

When your taking severla times as much damage per round, (the freebooters do make more attacks so it's not a simple 10 times), and the fights are lasting 3 times as long but the levle fo theb hostile is the same, your going to see a massive reduction in your ability to farm that enemy.

As another point of comparison, with my top ship, (my NSEA, working on my next faction ship), i can kill more lv 51 freebooters than i can lv 38 augment hostiles before needing to repair. Thats how whacked out the difficulty of these enemies is.

[floral folio]

Blowing up on other people‘s chasers during this freaking kill augment hostile event is becoming depressing. I think I’m deleting this app now. Please message when you fix this BS.

[umbral tinsel]

<@&509690795536941056> we have been asking for a week for a sensible response to the milestones for the augment hostile event. Pleas give us an update

[versed grotto]

They most likey wint address anything until Monday at the earliest, if at all. They probably think [or hoping that] everyone had forgotten about DTI, this horrible arc design and requirements.

[umbral tinsel]

🙈

[mental relic]

Hey scopely...having to kill 450+ hostiles for a daily event still isn't fun.

[quiet karma]

they just don't listen or they do but they don't care 😂

[vale musk]

maybe, its my ops up 😄

[idle parcel]

Exactly. I know I'm not wasting hours of my day again grinding pointless hostiles for minimum rewards. To complete that mission with the Khan Champion would take months to get there at this rate. How horrible to put that in as a mission objective.

[sacred sail]

Ops 62 with T11 enty... Can kill 29 level 60s per hull. You get punished for ops up with weak ships. Don't scream at scopley for that one...

[dapper plover]

And how does that play with the example i gave with the freebooters. It doesn't translate downwards neatly. And this is all of course assuming your not a giga whale with insane crews and prime research.

[sacred sail]

Freebooters are old content and weak because ships were much weaker years ago. New content is for today shippower. If your nsea is your too ship, yo do something wrong. A fkr ship should always be your top ship.for the record: I spend only on Battlepass

[dapper plover]

I've just got to the ops for my next faction ship i'll have it on monday, need to do a round of arena first. And today's shippower is not magically super strong compared to old shipower. In fact there's nothig in the last 3 arcs that has boosted ship power that is not prime research, (i.e nothing).

I won't say thats allways been true, but its not magically going up with every update the way you want to pretend. And many of the old arc enemies are tough when you first face them even now with perfectly upgraded ships. They haven't been magically outscaled.

You can see this in the Krenim too, they're perfectly doable for me despite not having my faction ship and at a level thats comprable to my OPS prior to em going up, (i went up a bit early for the SLB for marcus shards).

I can't speak on any comparison to the S31 solo wave defense, but from what my alliance people are saying they're tough but doable, they're not getting the same "where not doing this" reaction the Augment hostiles are.

[sacred sail]

DTI building in January is up to 100% ISO dmg boost now via f2p. Just as one example
There is f2p FC lorca in the event store... And so on. You are way off my friend

[dapper plover]

Maybe it's different up in G6 land but at early G4 isolytic damage is not a huge thing offensivly outside of the eviscerator. And Sloan is nothing. At my levle you have 1 fleet commander seat. Sloan is basically irrelevant. I probably shouldn;t have said nothing. What i really meant is nothign significant. All the big general power boosts where in the prime research.

Remember thanks to scopley math even the officer stats boost on the DTI building is completely drowned out by the other sources. This is actually a general problem once you get into the 40's. You need a lot fo sources of boost to move the needle even a little. ISolytic is a bit diffrent as it's so new at this level.

[sacred sail]

If you have one seat, you wil use lorca. Maybe you should watch some videos and read some guides. Edit I mean lorca... Brain lag sorry

[silver briar]

The new augment kill milestones weren’t changed for me. I’m not killing 250 plus hostiles for this evolving enemies bs.

[dapper plover]

If i have one seat i'll use the fleet commander that helps me grind factions. And lorca isn't it. Also Lorca is even more annoying to get.

Look even if we accept that each arc boosts your power a noticeable amount, it doesn't change the fact that Krenim and solo wave defense are nowhere near this tough for players who aren't optomised to the heavens. They've set one standard with arcs like the Krenim and Solo wave defense, and then a completely different one with the new augment exiles.

[idle parcel]

Ummm, I'm not the only one complaining about this. We have several in my alliance who have better things than you and are complaining. Sounds like you're a Scopely fanboi.

Good for you. Shall we clap now for your amazing presence?

[blissful edge]

Your augment sms is ridiculous. With a maxed Rot (strongest ship as the g6 uc is worthless) i can kill 11 58s and barely limp back to station. I need to make 26 trips to get to 118 million to complete the event. How about modifying that scoring to something reasonable?

[strong anchor]

Sure doesn’t feel like the Augment Exile SMS milestones are anything close to realistic.

[umbral tinsel]

<@&509690795536941056> see above. We keep telling you it’s unrealistic……

[fading veldt]

I don't understand this response I can kill 50+ freebooters but only level 40 Aug hostiles

[dapper plover]

Thats basically what i was saying. Maybe a bit hard to understand as i edited it severla times

[drifting drift]

this is me building 1 brandnew horizon to tier9... let me remove my feelings out of this (remind me being ops28 and can only spend so much mats)(problem persists for any event where spending G3 mats so far simply can't score enough)

[smoky rose]

We are adjusting the milestones for both the Augment Exile SMS and the Augment Exile Heroic SMS events. This update will contain lower milestones
Scopely math strikes again. Previous goal: ~17.5 million. New goal: ~21 million (Ops 59). How do you fail at something so simple?

[drifting drift]

Can not confirm this. I'm using a max level and research Saladin, pretty strong in my bracket. it's a real pain and I'm simply ignoring it after doing it once..

[light trout]

I thought the milestones were being lowered for the Augment Exiles? Mine are at a ridiculous level. They're about 1.5x what they were earlier this week for the same event.

[sudden ocean]

Awful arc and no way I’m going to try and kill 200 or more ships to finish a mission. Worse than that wave silliness. It’s a game not a factory job for cryin out loud

[trail solar]

yeah, my milestones are about 30% higher too....

[sacred sail]

I am the opposite of a fanboy. But when you can kill only 54s at ops 61, you are a bad player or an ops rusher. Obviously you can't handle criticism too. A decent ops61 can kill 60s. Period.

[rancid blaze]

So true. I can take down multiple 34s as a OPs 31. Sad some are complaining so much

[worldly cedar]

I’m ops 61 my best ship (2.3bil) can hit 135 level 52’s or 36 level 54. So I need to hit 650 52’s to finish the 73mil target. What happened to lowering the target? 3 hours and multiple repair costs, really???

[sacred sail]

Again.... I am ops 62 with a 2.5B entry D at tier 11. I can kill 30 level 60 per hull. Watch some crewing videos and get your research and stuff right. Yes the milestone are still too high but some people should really improve their gameplay

[rancid blaze]

Imagine if they figured out crewing and they could hunt the D7s with Vemet crew and get some 2x points or hunt the DYs and get some 4x points.

[worldly cedar]

You are one of the few who have been able to do that how many primes have you paid for?

[languid ice]

What crew?

[slender narwhal]

If you look they change the event around couple hours ago I had the normal one and now I have the heroic one also

[viscid delta]

There's a normal one? The only one I have is labeled "heroic".

OK... just completed the EE "heroic" flavored one after, well, too much effort. To be honest... it wasn't worth is. What a drag.

As a side note, I'm not sure I'll be able to complete the BP event now since up to this point we were basically encouraged to burn speedups. Now it looks like the clock simply won't let me complete it since they took away the ability to score points with trait XP. Not completing it would screw people out of the broken bits for the treasury.

[merry violet]

So are you using a Bortas, Saladin, or Centurion? Those three are the strongest ships you can have at ops 31, and 8.8 to 9.3 mill hostiles are usually a bit strong for those ships (even without any special abilities on the hostiles, which these have). The augment exile 34s are noticeably stronger than FKR Veteran 40s, Separatist 44s, and the ships in wave defense. Somehow I doubt you are using one of those ships on the 34s, unless you mean the surveys in the 34 system. The augment exile surveys are really weak.

[turbid coyote]

traits xp still score

[merry violet]

Not sure how you'd get that ship up to 3.8m at ops 31 (unless it's with paid stuff, although I still don't see how, considering how many things are ops locked). Also curious what below-deck crew and FT/CT is there. Unless it's literally all Annorax.

Also, you can't reasonably complete the event with 3 hostiles per repair.

[rancid blaze]

I don't go after 34s, I go after 28s with this ship and another ship with Vemet hunting D7s and DYs. I've only spent money on extra builder and extra research. Don't know why it's so hard to understand. Don't up your OPs so quickly.

Want to see a2b ship take down a 74b exile? #🏆-event-chat message

[brittle latch]

Do you have one of those "refresh the away mission list" things? I accidentally completed the battlepass in one shot by using mine.

[rancid blaze]

@merry violet Here's the crew for my Sally

[viscid delta]

I love you.

[brittle latch]

LoL 😁

[merry violet]

I don't ops up quickly, I usually run out of things to upgrade (not starbase/territory of course). Usually people on my server are racing past me in ops. Kinda hard not to up ops when I can't do the events anymore because I run out of things that count towards them, I'm not sure what to do about that.

4 of those I do not have (Tendi, Suder, WOK Mccoy, Chapel) (and I don't have Annorax).

Thanks for sharing. I tried the best I have, which was Paris, E-troi, Pelia, Hemmer, Garrett below deck. (Not ideal, but it's what I have.)

I will say that a large amount of that performance is your crew, which isn't really related to your ops level.

How does Vemet help with D7s? I get nothing with that, always lists it as a defeat (even though I lose no hull).

[rancid blaze]

Vemet's ability, just keeps the ship alive. There's still the 90%/30% of the unstable explosive bit, but Vemet keeps you alive to try again. Keep hitting D7s to get a win. Still need to survive the D7 in a fight, but that too should be easy.

[merry violet]

I wonder why others on my server didn't think of that? I watch players way higher than me go splat all the time in those systems. Edit: it looks like a defeat with Vemet stops them respawning on my server.

[open beacon]

At l57 with a 960m crozier I can kill 12x l54 or 30x with cerritos and titan buffs.... completely f2p account to boot. 60 kills finishes the event.

[dapper plover]

I'm having to estimate your crew ranks from the power score, and thats a bit tough as you have way fewer things boosting officer power than i do, but most of those officers look like their rank 3-4 with the exception of the below decks from chapel onwards. I'm ops 42 and nowhere near that maxed out on crew, and my crew power is 100% ahead of the curve for my ops as my mess hall is leveled well past my ops.

This isn't some magical "getting all the upgrades before ops up" deal, this is you just having absolutely gigachad crew. And it really isn't realistic IMO, the amount of time it takes you to max out your ops research and building compared to how long it would take you to naturally acquire enough badges doesn't add up.

[lusty bear]

how can you do the Away Teams BP event, if there are only 2 to 4 day missions in your awayteams list and you don't have any speedups left? There is also no possibility anmore, to progress with spending trait-xp for levelling up officer traits...

[terse pewter]

buy a pack 🤷‍♂️ 🤣

[lean cargo]

Trait XP is still there for me. Could also do a couple of assignment refreshes if you had to as a last resort.

FreeDTI!

[green ibex]

Yeah , same … milestones are stil to high , not worth the rewards , take to much time and punching up is a pain , punishing down takes 3 hours or more … skipping events once again !!! Great work scopely

[lusty bear]

oph, you are right - I just missed that part. thank you.

[obsidian ore]

This event arc is the second time in a row that missions which were released as part of the arc were not completable by virtually any players that are at the recommended level for those missions, definitely not within the duration of the event arc and possibly ever (I'd still be surprised if any OPS 45 player has completed any solo waves instance). You should have a "representative" account for each OPS level that you test new content on to make sure what you're putting out even makes sense, before you put it out.

[trail solar]

My milestones were increased by 30% from the heroic event 2 days ago and still have not been lowered.

[rancid blaze]

Pike, Moreau, Naga, Tom Paris are rank 2, level 10.

All others on that ship are rank 1, level 5.

Mess Hall is 44, syndicate 36, emerald chain 18, I have FC Lorca and FC Spock active and FC Kirk inactive.

[fading veldt]

You can use XP they've just moved it in the scoring description boxes

[rancid blaze]

See my above message, forgot the reply.

Correction Chapel and McCoy are rank 1 level 1. Just got then.

Any other questions?

[dapper plover]

Thanks for the officer pane view, i was having to do my comparisons via that, this at least confirms its not weirdness between ship screen and officer screen.

Somthing odd is going on, my Sudder, (as an example), at the same rank and level as yours is only 500 power, whilst my Moreau (again at the same level and rank), is very slightly higher. And thats despite the fact that i know i must have a bunch of researches and building upgrades buffing my officer stats that you don't so they should be significantly higher on the same level than you.

There's something i don't understand going on.

That said for your level that's still a really good crew, not as gigachad as i first thought, but i didn't get my Pike until a couple of days before my 32 faction ship. Tendi i literally only got a couple of days ago at ops 42. And your mess hall, (which is gated by overall crew power), is a good 15 levels above your ops, (i assume its supposed to be similar to your ops generally). Thats still a really strong crew for your ops level.

You do have a couple fo levels of Syndicate and Emerald chain on me, the syndicate especially will be making a huge difference in your performance as you've got some big +damage sources i don't have out of that. And my syndicate is 100% well above where it should be as i bought a couple of 2x syndicate XP packs in the past.

Just pulled my ship back and checked suders power their and he's showing a much higher value. Hmm. I think officers not equipped might be showing false power values.

[molten marlin]

officers not equipped are the base power

when on a ship it is boosted by buildings/research

[dapper plover]

Thanks for that clarification. Still seeing some weirdness with my Suder (and chapel), when equipped having much highers power than his whilst at the same rank and level whilst our Moreau's are basically identicale to within a few hundred power. Something very odd is going on. Also i know i have a ton of stuff that they cannot possibly have boosting my crew. I'm so confused.

[sullen coral]

Scopely said that they'd nerfed the scores for the EE event, yet my heroic(that won't be getting done) is nearly 4 mil pts higher than the last one!!!(that wasn't done). I calculated that it would take me 21 T7 Sanctus hulls in the lvl 50 system, to complete the event!! That's mental, no matter which way you sugarcoat it. Seems like either Scopely are playing brinkmanship with their player base & don't think that thousands will quit the game because they missed what was supposed to be the best arc we've ever had, or they'll fold at the last minute & autocomplete the monthly event for all and rescue a disastrous situation. I hope that it's the latter.......

[rapid quail]

Crew does matter. Loot crew to punch down for chest trades. Good punch up crew to farm for the SMS. I kill 60-65 of the 50s on avg and completed it in an hour. (I admit that's still too long, but it is for an officer unlock) I got McCoy. T7 Quvsumpek

[main iris]

<@&509690795536941056> It would be good if players, regardless of their current Ops level, could get event points for spending Grade 2 uncommon materials, and event points for spending common materials of any Grade. I just recently unlocked Drydock E, and it costs 1538 uncommon G2 materials to build. I would like to be able to get event points for spending those materials.

[umbral tinsel]

<@&509690795536941056> any chance you will be gracing us with an answer to the million dollar question? Lowering the insane augment exile scoring? More then a week and still nothing. Do you want players to quit. Everyday is the same. No answer. Your player base is probably not important I guess. That’s for sure.

[keen crypt]

So when we maxed out our Rep in Augment beofre its expansion we did not recieve any more pts it was maxed.

You open the event and expansion to everyone and say have fun with a missions with a near impossible short term goal.

You Then then say hey you can buy one pack for the augment rep.

For FTP player just grind, and no it is not like FKR where you can increase rep through research.

I'm going to go Kevin and say that ya'll owe every player whow has the potential to get holodeck missions a "FREE" champion challenge to comlete the missions. Otherwise nice ***** move on your parts

[slender narwhal]

Fyi it was supposed to be a normal one not a heroic one if going by the calendar. We need more people to complain about that

[umbral tinsel]

We have been for a week and the <@&509690795536941056> is ignoring it.

[keen crypt]

So far this whole event has been trash the rewards are not even all that enticing, Kahn Fleet Commander is useful though

[versed grotto]

I dont think the CM is ignoring it as much as scopley telling them to stop interaction with said gripe. Don't blame them when this is all on scopley who is being deaf to our gripes

[zenith wing]

I mean the cm's worked long hours all week and then also the weekend. for stuff that's not "the server's broken" I wouldn't expect updates on the weekend, and the CA workday just started so they're probably hoping for actual updates right now on things

[umbral tinsel]

You are right. But they are spokesperson for scopely I guess.

[versed grotto]

Very true, They are the paid 💩 takers... I would just vent about the game and decisions and try not to point it at them, they just do what they are told... guess its my customer service background, I try to stay mad at the proper people [Ineptly] than the CMs

[umbral tinsel]

Im familiar with it as well. Then I should just say. Probably scopely does not care. Cause we all keep paying 🙈

[tacit zephyr]

I don't think they will do anything about it. What I think is more that they are waiting for the destruction they will do in the next event. So that we forget the destruction of this event.

[boreal coyote]

I love this new arc. 4 failed new AT missions in a row. I knew the last was sketch at 67% but the rewards were worth the risk. But 3 before that at 87% and all fail. I call bs. At the very least it’s off putting, and one start a day, and to be down about 4K pioneer credits at the start of the arc feels punitive. Not fun, why do I keep trying…

[alpine niche]

Still have not received any compensation or awards for leveling up the pillars on my D'vor in the Archives.

[sly belfry]

In the officer event store, it says there are Mirror Universe officers in there with the SNW officers, but they aren't actually there.

[tender jackal]

Tattered is an exceptional player. Don't feel bad.

[merry violet]

I didn't notice that either. Those strengths are rather high, mine are less at ops 38. One of the reasons I ops-ed up was to get to those researches which were locked. This is probably close to as best I can do right now. My Chen is L20, max rank. I seem to notice wierd variations too, unrelated to the officers being deployed/not. (Edit: I think my below deck is all rank 1 except ghrush)

[versed grotto]

No battlepass and minimum screen time from me. I went from about 200 a month for bps/various other... now they get nothing until its rectified

[umbral tinsel]

Let’s use the q and a to make the problem with the augment hostiles again.

[zenith stirrup]

WDBP missing in this arc as well!!!!!!

[small rover]

Latinum Rush events starting 5 minutes late and I reset my pre-loading miners at the 13:00 mark. 🤦‍♀️

[heady dragon]

why did Latinum rush not start on the hour? All other events reset on the hour today. A bunch of my alliance mates lost points because they pulled their miners on the hour when the event has historically reset.

[quartz beacon]

Changing the start time to 5 minutes later than usual for mining Monday caused me to reset nodes for 7 ships in token space without them counting toward event. Why are events starting 5 minutes later now? 😕

[novel mango]

<@&509690795536941056> Got no credit for slbs but did alb event.

[small rover]

Got screwed out of points after resetting nodes on the hour for a total of 2m G3 mats in token space.

[trail solar]

Im encouraging everyone to send tickets

[slender narwhal]

Watch tomorrow will be a heroic one again as the calender says

[molten marlin]

Tomorrow's listed heroic will be a regular sms, they swapped the events

[torn jewel]

Do we know when will the next WDBP be?

[small rover]

Wondering why Lat Rush was 5 minutes later than usual. Cost people a lot of time spent on pre-loading

[wild pelican]

It's another failure in a string of Scopely Fails lately.

[small rover]

There WAS a Voyager event on Apex/Cube Thursday, lol....

[wild pelican]

That late start screwed me so bad I logged off. No point competing when all your overnight work is killed by a rogue timer. 😂

[versed grotto]

I always made sure the event started before I reset my miners. I know we shouldn't have, but its always better to be safe than think its started and not get points.

I haven't participated in lat rush since they released the whip.

[woven kettle]

Great treasury option to give officer choice tokens without a choice “tax.” That’s all, that’s the feedback 🙂

[errant jetty]

Why aren't Horizon Surveyor ships included in the Master Surveyor Tier up choices?

[hazy swallow]

Scopely math at its finest. Got a crit on a P1 common, which is supposed to score 1500 points. But I somehow have 1200...which isn't even a valid total according to the scoring list. 🤦 I mean, you literally cannot score exactly 1200 points according to the list.

[worldly grove]

still have not gotten my IA credits for D'vor/Feesha, it's been almost a WEEK NOW!
Several tickets in game (which is BOT) and on PC and no RESOLUTION!!!!

[celest tusk]

So, it looks like slow mode in discord and lag in the game are just normal things now? Maybe if y'all fixed stuff once in a while the slow mode wouldn't be necessary and the lag would go away. I know, radical concept ... but I hear it works on occasion.

[molten marlin]

these channels have always had slowmode because they're not meant for discussions

[celest tusk]

Then why do you always initiate a discussion? Just don't comment and poof ..... no discussion. See how that works?

[icy marsh]

@full swan the bulk refine has the same issue as independent archive. Bulk pulls often fail to trigger the overflow of officer shards into transporter patterns. I had a voyager officer pull that gave 0 shard display of Kim who was maxed but No pattern was awarded

[hollow lichen]

i guess we'll take away bulk refine for those for now then, on the archive i already manually click the BB as i don't want to loose out on loads of shards. The other ones I just gamble, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (most of the time)... But the chance for a full pull HG worf being lost like this is so small I just can't be bothered to do them individually

[high aurora]

Stop making us waste our time. There needs to be something for a loss. This is just pay to win trash, or fight clubbing

[jaunty ingot]

Totally agree. As someone at the lower end of my bracket I doubt this is doable without being farmed by higher ops.

[lucid idol]

<@&509690795536941056> pray tell how I am supposed to damage one of these, let alone defeat it? What a poorly thought out event, didn't take long for the game to return to the old 🤡 ways after the massive win earlier today with bulk refine, swear you guys are gluttons for punishment

[frigid patrol]

Since the game has launched, the most broken aspect of the game has been PvP. Can not believe in a game that pretends to be PvP, we look for "loss" points so scopely can let players hit others 19 levels lower than them LMAO

[jaunty ingot]

Its an SMS not SLB, having points for loss means nothing for this "19 levels lower" issue.

[lucid idol]

This is with max fort, cerritos support, cloak, Lorcas Fist and a host of damage exos.... whose daft idea was this event?

[thin void]

PvP events without a scoring mechanic for losing just encourage folks to skip the event

[high wharf]

Community: Aren't the milestones for the new Augments wrong
Scopely: Yes, they should be bigger
Community: That's not what we said
Scopely: All we heard was "Blah, blah blah, big words, Bigger!"

[elfin nest]

What's happening with this event? Shouldn't there be more events to unlock more pillars.

[high wharf]

Just in case you guys forgot...

[tacit zephyr]

scopely: We made all those changes because a player asked us to.
community: And what's the player's name?
scopely: The player's name is... (I'm a real player) And if a player has that name, we have to listen to them.

[small rover]

Five minutes late again

[tribal halo]

There are currently 21 event "cards" in my events tab, many of which are groups of events, in addition to 3 more cards on the season passes tab. If you're worried about player burn out: this is probably a leading cause of it.

[modern spade]

<@&509690795536941056> might we be getting another GS31 upgrade event?
Been a while since we had one, and the ship isn’t yet included in the specialty Ship Upgrade SLB, now twice…
Upgrading too beneficial to sit on for too long… please let us know 🙏
oh and good job on getting the Yarda etc autogrinding back on quick 🙂 👍
