[small rover]

PVP event done for today but no score toward Meta event? There it is now. Lag ftw

[coarse ocean]

Evolving event: specially EE Augment Exile Engagement -SMS . Worst event i have seen. You expect ppl to grind 2 hrs to do one event? Lol a joke... and im strong for my ops lvl

[glass pewter]

<@&509690795536941056> The Praemontus, Praemuntus - SMS is just more absolute garbage in this Arc. Scopely needs to address how this is supposed to be completed. Between the tone deaf responses to the additional grind for the new Augment loop and this its about time to hand it up.

[lucid idol]

What tier is your epic? T6 krencha here and I couldn't scratch it even with a host of buffs

[glass pewter]

T9 Krencha - doesn’t get a shot off

[high aurora]

What is this nonsense in q’s trails? Stop messing with the code. <@&509690795536941056>

This is a very large oversight/error to add these the day of a q trials event....If this was added on purpose...shame on you

[little hemlock]

If I had to guess, it was intentional and they’ll add Q trial research to the Starship research tree for the Reliant next month and/or a new Q trial Prime.

[molten marlin]

The q trial issue is being looked into

[ashen notch]

Did the level 70 Augment surveys get tweaked? I absolutely cannot kill them anymore. They were doable before today.

[lucid idol]

jesus, thought mine was bad at t6 but if even t9 is getting wiped out with no shots this must be aimed at the ultra whales 😂

[high aurora]

lol….

[meager moss]

This arc is soooo boooring

[ashen notch]

Way too much work to accomplish anything. I'm not saying things need to be too easy, but this is way too much. People have lives and jobs. We don't want progression to take years

[fierce sierra]

You don't need years, just spend enough $ and you are finished tomorrow, like $copely wants it to be.

[celest tusk]

So many issues "being looked into" and not enough if them "being fixed". Is there someone who can "look into" that?

[trail solar]

Maybe we should explain to Scopely what they wrote here. English is difficult. @rose oracle - Lower milestones means that you have to kill less ships, not more.

[ocean crypt]

why is the gs-31 ship parts not included in the special ship upgrade event

[ashen notch]

Hard pass, lol. I'll spend again once the packs have actual value. Until then, BP only for me.

[full swan]

I can ask.... but don't think I've heard anything

[full swan]

We're looking into a fix and comp.

[high aurora]

Thank you

[runic meadow]

Hope the comp chest is as good as the IOS comp chest, that was nothing………….

[ashen needle]

<@&509690795536941056> while fixing the wrong hostiles are the going to fix apex barrier in qs trials

[craggy gorge]

As there is still a full day left, any possibility of adjusting the PvP event so a player still gets some points for losing a PvP battle? Literally nobody on server 102 is playing this event because they don't get points for losing and don't want to waste resources to repair a ship as a result. Usually, even high level players will leave a Realta in the designated system for easy points, but that is not even happening this time around

[languid ice]

Lead by example. Park some corvettes in the system. Wait for someone to kill them. Ask them to return the favor.

[idle parcel]

Scopely - we care about your feedback. We released the DTI officers.

Also Scopely - we aren't going to listen to actual QOL complaints about needing to grind 200 plus reds every few days, because we want you neglecting every other aspect of your life to play this game. 😡

Edit - this is after 100 54 reds. Only 100 more to go. 😡

[vapid lagoon]

Why are Mirror Uhura and Quasi not appearing in the event store?

[molten marlin]

uhura is arena only

quasi just came out

[vapid lagoon]

great, the content that I cannot play as it is time-gated!

[idle parcel]

I really wish scopely would actually listen to people on things that mattered, like no one wanting to spend hours hitting reds while getting small rewards. So many haven't done this event when it's these new reds.

[modern spade]

Thanks… would be nice for any new ship to be added to the Ship Upgrade SLB scoring as a matter of process once its launch period is done, to avoid this weird limbo 🙂 🍻

[somber hinge]

Finally a good improvement with the bulk refinery, but not yet done. Please implement either a prioritization option or let the players be able to rearrange the tiles (if this is the current base for order). E.g. in mirror raf i want to have officers definitely every day, but can relinquish other ones.

[distant dagger]

Can't do the Heroic event if research was already completed. Thanks

[tribal halo]

Any chance of Arena NOT coinciding with Latinum Rush in the future?

[lucid idol]

Good luck with that, people been barking up that tree since day 1

[quaint night]

[rapid quail]

@magicalplaid

[worldly grove]

been trying since last week to get my IA D'vor/Feesha issue Fixed, I leveled up the IA as soon as it dropped, i've opened tickets on my iPhone and on my PC, keep getting BOTS on the iPhone and on my PC i get support staff that don't understand the ISSUE!!!!!!
Leveling up a D'Vor or Feesha is quite a FEAT, the credit I LOST when they launched the improvements before the event simply can not be made up in a timely Fashion, can ANYONE help with this?????

[raw bramble]

While I appreciate that the aug hostiles were made a little bit more easy. I'm still not very fond of the sms requiring me to kill 200+ of them just to complete the sms.

[ivory cape]

Hey scopely, why the drastic cuts to the syndicate xp rewards in the battlepass and wave battlepass?

[gloomy rain]

Another event with random lucky pulls for rewards? Seriously? Why can't these rewards be the same for everyone? Some of my clan mates have gotten the lucky 100k pulls, while others of us rarely get more than the lowest, 1500....

[twin knoll]

your reducing the value of trait xp from 1-10 to 1-1 has made it impossible for me as an almost completely f2p player to complete todays battlepass event I cant get the new missions to work as I cant get sufficent % to get them to pass (plus with a 4 day run time I have to burn through my small stock of speed ups for virtually 0 return) plus if you try to run enough normal away team missions I doubt I would have enough speedups to do it as you have given them such a low value again to make it not worth the effort and if that is the case what is to stop your players from leaving the game when they feel they have no chance to even complete a battle pass which for some is their main reward path. I would suggest you return the trait xp value to its pre "new" away team mission value to enable your f2p players to at least complete their battle pass that they may be able to afford the elite unlock @19.99 once in every few months. Yet another thoughtless change in a very flawed arc roll out imho.

[thorn belfry]

Im double pulling the planetry charts box from augment store and i still cant keep doing away teams, can only do 1 at a time

need more planetry charts :/

[scarlet summit]

the slightly out-of-sync daily events are slightly disturbing, but the 1h shift the final weapon has is really weird 😦

[fathom locust]

Nice these EE events that I can’t do because my voyager is ops locked and can’t get to the minimum L49 Hirogen elite hunters <@&509690795536941056> are you guys serious? The whole EE event is a series of hardly doable missions

[queen kindle]

Regular Hirogen work too.

[scarlet summit]

try the area around the burdow system

[fathom locust]

That would be roughly a 1000 Hirogen kills + however many lost I have to kill to get those to spawn.. to much of a grind for me

[queen kindle]

What level are you, and what is your top MS req?

[fathom locust]

MS req? What is that? I have to shoot lvl 49+ hirogen, shooting elites would be nice but because my voyager is locked till ops 51 for the next tier and thus better warp range, as I am just ops 50 since today I don’t see a way other than a complete waste of hours to finish the EE event

[queen kindle]

Milestone requirement. And what's the range of your best warship?

[fathom locust]

90mln explorer , 1,86mln points needed

[scarlet summit]

i killed one 60 with my pilum and was done at ops50, i did the same at ops46.

[jolly hound]

Can you also ask about the undisclosed GS-31 punch up tax that Scopely failed to disclose to players before selling the product?

[rapid quail]

Bbb for deceptive sales practices. As in Advertising Ft full unlock power but not describing the ops and Q trial gates for the product. I've filed a few myself for this and other things.

[full swan]

Why do you still have "FreeDTI" in your name? Its been freed.

[full swan]

https://tenor.com/view/youre-free-now-run-youre-free-now-run-go-go-away-gif-14148011

[jolly hound]

Has it though? Still got cooldowns on the Artifacts.

[full swan]

Yeah. If you own the CT or are past level 8 for the artifacts. But I thought the officers was the biggest concern regarding the cooldowns.

[jolly hound]

Wait......... You thought the officers were the biggest concern?

Not the part that allowed the players to level up their artifacts en masse. Not the part that allowed players to complete 10k tasks (which are the ONLY tasks that pay out ANY quantifiable amount of credits) during Alliance Tournament which gives the players that need it access to primes....? lol

Seriously, if Scopely rethought the whole process for Alliance Tournaments and made ANY other tasks give any amount of credits, this wouldn't have been so big of an ordeal.. but we have 10k tasks that are heavily leaned towards whales that pay out thousands of credits... and 8k tasks and below? They pay out a slap in the face and they make you tell them "Thank you". Now.... Don't get me wrong... I'm about that life. But it's an insult to the majority of players that can't spend, can't do 10k tasks, and will benefit MOST from the access to primes. Instead of approaching the problem with... "WHY are players doing this? how can we make it so they don't feel the NEED for doing this?" The response was to just go full anti-player.

We need to rethink this 'player council' that y'all have if this was passed thru them and nobody said anything.

[zenith wing]

it's like 5k disruptors a day even if you're at t8. that's 15 10k tasks worth a month. I gotta be real, I don't get the big deal with their current state

[jolly hound]

To clarify.... I haven't kept hitting on the DTI stuff after this latest change..... I just forgot to change my name... until Hammy called it out lol

But then the whole 'officers was the biggest concern' which...... categorically no.

I'm not saying that nobody appreciated it... I'm only saying that it wasn't the biggest pain point that folks were rioting over.

[full swan]

So nobody appreciated the removal of the officer cooldown? I feel like that was a major issue...

[open panther]

This is an obvious cash grab! There is already a heroic for priority one ATs! Why make the daily arc event so heavily reliant on them by making the point system higher than your normal AT events? You got the exile hostile event point grind too high, and this one is too high for a 24 hour event.

[jolly hound]

Just to be abundantly clear..... I'm a huge fan of the change. And I really don't think I've kept harping on the DTI store stuff after the change was announced.... I moved on to asking for updates on something that you and I had spoken about in another conversation. I really just forgot my name was that. lol

Let me just say it here and officially from the Offices of Snoots Booped, Inc........ Kudos on Scopely for rolling back the changes... I wish we didn't have to fight for it tooth and nail, but kudos for taking the steps that you did. Thank you @full swan and all others involved in that.

Now, let's not do that again? Kay? (Directed at Scopely as an entity)

[agile zinc]

<@&509690795536941056> is someone at your side having a laugh? Making it so we can't complete a sms for the new arc missing because it's locked behind rep

[zenith carbon]

Events are currently not scoring
... points for some have come through after several minutes delay

[fluid igloo]

Oh we definitely did. Having even more daily claims is super annoying so it’s good you fixed that part. I love saving up stuff and buying it in bulk when needed, getting the credits takes long enough.

CT I don’t see the issue tbh. You can get 1.5 days worth of claims from one CT anyway and you can’t use more or gain event points.

I mean yeah you can safe up those artifacts still by claiming them daily, but it’s annoying.

(Don’t get me wrong, I’m ok with how it is atm. But it could be better)

[dapper plover]

can confirm same behaviour

[tame hemlock]

Is anyone noticing a higher failure rate for P1ATA if they start and speed up straight away?

[zenith wing]

a gift chest went out days ago that provided the sms points for that mission

[agile zinc]

I must have missed that with all the clicks. Thanks

[tribal halo]

There are currently 22 "cards" for events, some of them lead to groups of events. This is simply too many, and will lead to burn out. <@&509690795536941056>

[elder fern]

When is the next artifact event? It’s been forever. Kinda mean to do that after releasing all these free artifacts through the S31 store.

[restive lotus]

"complete" AT missions mean successful only???? Nothing has counted otherwise, whether priority or not. I've burned thru all my speedups fow many, many 2-4 day missions just to complete the battle pass which now doesn't count traits, either.

[marble parrot]

Hahahahahhahhaa

Again. Hostile augment exile event. Now 39million to complete..

Which is about 1500 hostiles..if i went for the lvl46 exiles.

🕤🕡🕣

Nahhh!! Got a real life thanks

[rough dune]

<@&509690795536941056> For the level my ships/crew can take, I did the math. I would have to grind through 1,065 Exile hostiles. Comeon, I thought you guys said you were being nice to us, and that you saw no reason for the 2k cap to be lifted, and that it is extreme to even come close. This over half of the 2k cap in one event. Even though it lasts 2 days, still extreme.

[carmine delta]

I jsut dont get it - SCOPLY will do quality of life enhancements to save a few clicks, then persist in putting events requiring hours of grinding (im not gonna bother - dont have the time) that players of all levels (yes, including those that spend $$$) have complained about. Seems contradictory at best.

[vagrant topaz]

<@&509690795536941056> I have to kill 351 hostile to complete this event. This is completely ridiculous. This is, at minimal, four hours worth of grinding. That's not fun. That's not challenging. That is completely tedious. If it were possible to kill level 60s, this wouldn't be so bad, but I can't kill higher than a 50/52. The non-heroic wasn't much better yesterday. I still had to kill over 200 hostiles. The fact that this was adjusted to two days still doesn't matter. There's no way I'm going to sit there and grind nearly 400 hostiles in 48 hours. I'm just not going to do it

Whomever designed this event, did a terrible job designing it because it doesn't take into the account we don't have the specialty ship yet. With all of the player complaints on how tedious this is, I would have expected the event runners to have adjusted this event by now. Either the score needs to be multiplied by a factor of three, or the total points to beat the event needs to be reduced by a factor of three

[thick knot]

<@&509690795536941056> Augment Credits Spend SLB Event is missing, restarted like thrice and it still doesn't show. I guess it's missing for everyone since alliance members say the same.

[versed grotto]

Second reset probably. 35 minutes

[magic wharf]

How do you do the Daly Briefings Event

[thick knot]

Second reset usually is only for the old non-Arc weekly/daily events.

[rancid blaze]

<@&509690795536941056> I find these EE events fun.

[versed grotto]

@thick knot So yesterday's event that started 5 minutes after 1st reset that normally started at second reset is just an anomaly and they won't start events when they feel like it? I dont worry about doing anything until after second reset because of scolpeys ineptitude. I suggest every do the same so you dont get fooled into spending something

[lucid idol]

<@&509690795536941056> you really need to fix the event timers, I just started a rare xindi armada, only to find the event has already ended... there's supposed to be 22 mins left? Bad enough that you refuse to sync up events for 6 months of the year, but you can't even get them to run on time anyway

[versed grotto]

Yep, Ineptly ended it 5 minutes after first reset, due to them changing the rewards a few weeks back

[thick knot]

It is possible that you are right, but that happens less frequently than Scopely simply forgetting events or changing the event schedule mid run.

[silent crest]

What happened to the Wrath Credit Rivalry SLB event that was supposed to start today?

[high aurora]

Cube SMS is also missing

[idle parcel]

Nope. <@&509690795536941056> you all have been completely silent on our many complaints about these hostiles. This is, once again, about double from the other day, abs that one took two hours and about 200 plus hostiles to do. But, we also aren't going to be hanging around for that amount of time waiting for a survey every 40 minutes that everyone else in the server is trying to get. This is a serious fail and a slap in the face to all the complaints I know you've seen and received.

[versed grotto]

Cause its the heroic. And its 2 days now. [Their philosophy not mine] Yes its still a grind i dont agree with, but they'll say they listened by extending the completion time

[idle parcel]

Still a no from me. If they had actually listened to us, the grind wouldn't be more than 20-30 minutes like the rest of the similar events in this category. Yesterday's regular event in voyager space took less than 10 minutes to complete. There's no way I'm wasting my time on this one.

[carmine delta]

Hard no from me.

[ivory cape]

Missing event - did you forget it among the plethora of other events?

[molten marlin]

will run tomorrow

[modern spade]

... was waiting for that to spend credits to buy mats to run P1ATA's, to help those ATA events still running, and get more creds to use on research tree...
Since you need to spend common creds to be able to run P1's, having the spend event AFTER the ATA event is a bit poor logic.
Apart from not being what was announced and (some) people plan for....
Now will do less for ATA event, gotta wait a day to take extra level of favours for rep and loot that make it just a bit more bareable, and tomorrow will have to buy the P1ATA creds, and blow a ton more speedups, to try and build some research tree fuel...
oooof.

This is the kind of mistake that I find most irritating tbh.
When devs break the game every release it’s frustrating, but we all pretty much expect it.
Then you launch great QoL features that have us thanking overlords and singing praises.
Then the very next day you take all that away because someone’s incompetence in running the event schedule (I’m assuming it’s that, unless the event couldn’t be correctly coded in time) ruins a whole set of events .
And to make it worse, there’s zero communication about it beforehand so those who WERE sitting on creds till today have lost a day of time they might have chosen to use to do the ATA event better by spending some.
These are the avoidable, poorly handled mistakes that make me pretty furious, and wipe out a good deal of the good will / positive feeling things like bulk refine generate.
And they just.. keep.. happening. 🤷‍♂️

I actually think you’d be better off cancelling this run of the credits spend event entirely, announcing that right now, freeing up ppl to spend the creds right now to do all the events today at their best.
And do better next run, with the creds spend event before or correctly overlapping with the others as announced

[opaque hawk]

just came here to find out why calendar isnt right myself...

[idle parcel]

Exactly. Anyone defending the grind times and the relative lack of rewards for such a grind probably has all the time in the world. But, even if I did have all that time, I still wouldn't be spending 2-4 hrs grinding for this event. Many of our lower players haven't been able to complete one of those events, yet Scopely's silence is deafening. They throw a bone now and then, but they won't address the rotting corpse stinking up the room, this event and those hostiles as a whole. They are obviously waiting until this monthly event is done so they can say, "We heard you. This is our solution. The new ship that will cost $200 or you can get it for free 4 months from now with the 1-2 free bps you'll get from grinding," when this was their plan all along, complaints or not.

[tacit zephyr]

The truth is, Scopely doesn't surprise me anymore. They've been running a routine for a while now, and it's always the same.
They create an event with hostiles/Armadas that no one can destroy, except the whales of course. They then create a second event to sell a unique ship for the previous event, which of course ended, and which is useless unless you raise it to a certain level, of course all this by paying a good sum of money.

[rapid quail]

Heroic for milestones, generic normal rewards.

[idle parcel]

Yep. Watch this unfold, as they go completely silent on this issue until the next month when they will claim they heard us, when this was their plan all along. Either buy the ship at a ridiculous price right away, or wait 4 months when you finally get enough bps for it. By then, 2 more new grinds and new ships have come out.

[cosmic slate]

@full swan Thanks for the code, but all it did was give me 38 hards towards an officer I maxed ver a year ago. Free "nothing"

[molten marlin]

You can always ask customer support to remove the transporter patterns for you

[cosmic slate]

Perhaps, If I even got any. I never saw a conversion window. @molten marlin

[hollow lichen]

You will take your 2850 patterns and be happy while we boast about being super generous!

[celest tusk]

Hey, there's a cool new bug with the artifacts, you buy them and get one of those server error messages followed by a purchase failed to go through message and then your disruptors are gone and you have nothing to show for it. Isn't that cool?

[rapid quail]

Quality over quantity! Isn't it grand. 🤣

[fiery helm]

What events do I need to look for on Thursdays to upgrade my Vindicator? I can’t seem to find any??

[rapid quail]

Take your cube and Vinny to Dominion space and do solos. 2 birds one stone. Charges cube to kill hostiles for that event at same time.

[solar citrus]

So I'm ops 59 and the person in 1st place is an ops 70! Tell me Scopely, how is this a fair event for me??

[rapid quail]

I don't bother with that Slb. Juice isn't worth the squeeze. I only do the SMS. I get Ft rss elsewhere

[warm kestrel]

they make it fair for you by including lvl 54 players in the same bracket, like me

[daring sage]

Are these correct? I thought the Klingon’s preferred battleships and Romulan’s preferred interceptors?
Also, I get my battle chests before I go back to base. This says you have to go back to base first.

[zenith wing]

"preferred" is about the faction epics I believe, which is also what a bit more of their research is geared towards. this is correct as to which type of ships the faction epics are.
the "return to base to open your chests" one I've got nothing for. some of them are wonky for sure

[daring sage]

Okay, thank you for responding.

@viral bloom Should it say that these are based on the epics?

[zenith wing]

i really don't know. each faction has a ship of each type at each grade, except g3 which has an additional uncommon of the same type as the g3 epic. so it's kind of a theming thing I guess? but I really don't see the point of that tip

[queen kindle]

There are officer abilities that lean this way too, and some hostile encounters.

[static patio]

Don't forget new officers that break the pvp balance until you get them with little to no sourcing...except $$$

[idle parcel]

Ha right. Some random chest pulls that never get you the officers that you need. I've been doing the vindicator pulls for a few months now, and there's one officer I only got once, if even at all.

[vocal violet]

I would also love an artifact event.

[celest tusk]

Hear me out ..... what if you actually fixed the game?

[trail bramble]

No money in it. They're bringing out a couple of primes that will make these new horrific grinds just slightly less horrific.

[celest tusk]

They need to bring out the qualified programmers and just make it right.

So after grinding 24/7 for the WOK event to get to Patron rep. Now you raise the bar for all Khan's champions to Superior rep. BAIT AND SWITCH IS BS , game is getting to annoying to play ! I guess only the pay to play folks get any respect 😡😡😡

<@&509690795536941056> all the events today are stuck retrieving and not in buckets

[ocean crypt]

instead of fixing retrieving, now all new events are all in retrieving

[high aurora]

Missing tickets for ticketed events

[pale mulch]

Where are the Ticketed Events?

[vagrant topaz]

So we have a 2 day heroic kill augments overlapped with a 24 hour to kill augments that just showed up today. This is completely absurd and ridiculous.
someone please hire new event runners because these people have no idea what they are doing, and they are completely out of touch with the needs and wants of the community.

That's 450 I have to kill in 48 hours, and 250 I have to now kill in 24 hours. That's 700 total and completely ridiculous

Also fix your stuck retrieving events. It's completely absurd this has been going on for years

[pale mulch]

Do the messes ever end? They seem to happen daily, just like what they want us to do to try and play the game. On top of it all, they want us to Spend Hundreds of Dollars on this.??????

[idle parcel]

Wow, yes, how completely ridiculous on their part. If enough people don't do them, they may (probably not) listen. Some of us have brought this up from day 1, and yet now, very few are complaining about it. We need more people to voice and show their dissatisfaction with Scopely and how they are running and ruining this game. Their lack of addressing this biggest issue says a lot.

[coral bane]

Retrieving (x8)

[brave wigeon]

Managed to Retrieve everything except an event ticket

[idle parcel]

Scopely's lack of listening to the real concerns, like the constant releasing of ridiculous and unrealistic amounts of reds to kill, is a big mdle fngr to the game's community. What's better than one ridiculously hard event? Two of them. 🙄

Also, they are cheap with certain rewards. Ever notice how in most rewards, including the choice and the ones for the emergency rations, there are no 5 star epic gas or ore? They really want people to spend money for those. Nope. I'm about done with this game as it is. The constant issues, along with the increasingly ridiculous events, has taken the fun out of this game. I'm a lvl 61, but I'm really about to call it a day with this game.

[tranquil crescent]

<@&509690795536941056> We're still waiting for Scopely to come up with a solution for those who upgraded their Feesha's in the IA before the event went live (late). We keep being told they are 'looking into it' but we have heard nothing else back, and meanwhile, the SLB at the start has been and gone so long, we probably couldn't claim against it even if we should have scored well!

Please could we actually get some action from Scopely? it doesn't take much to at minimum, SQL query the database and award people the Feesha SMS if they'd got the IA complete as well as their Feesha Tier2+

[coral bane]

When scopely says they are looking onto it or they have sent it to the team, there is a close to 100% probability we will never hear of it again.
They/the team still are looking at issues ticketed 5 years ago

[tranquil crescent]

I guess that's the point - if we ignore it and just let what they say stand... nothing will happen. They said they were looking to sort it, and we have red names backing us up, so... they need to sort it, even if it takes nagging them over and over, and over and over, and over and...

[idle parcel]

Just like it seems many have just accepted that they need to kill hundreds of reds to complete an event. I'm amazed even on my server how some people are now defending the grind, like it's not that bad.

Scopely will keep pushing and pushing, giving harder and longer events, until we push back by either quitting the game or not doing the events.

[tranquil crescent]

to be fair, I'm halfway on that.... I still think the grind is ridiculous, and turning the game into a job is not the way forwards, but I see where Tiger was coming from (just not done very well) in the sense that he wanted a bit of grind to make people work for it.... but in general, I agree

[rancid blaze]

It's no difference for me if it's FKR hostiles for dailies. Kill 25 39 fed/kli or kill 50 swarm 32. It's only kill 37 hijacked for the heroic. Not too bad in my eyes.

This is the problem, as there are some who say it's not so bad. But, if you have a full day of work and family, and there are many here in those real-life scenarios, then no one has that kind of time. And, these new hostiles are taking much, much longer than anything else I've had to do. The last one of these EEs I did took hours and over 200 reds to kill. I'm not doing that again.

[tranquil crescent]

...for you... and apparently you are the only person that matters. Loads of others disagree, but "you're all right, Jack"

[rancid blaze]

Well the designers designed the arc to be completable in a reasonable time if you meet their desired requirements. Those requirements aren't listed but if you meet them it's pretty easy. If you don't then you can't do or shouldn't do the events... Until you can. Just like the dailies if you ops up too quickly the dailies can't be done till you power up or get more warp. There's evidence of 60s killing 64 Hijacked easy and only needing a few more kills than I do. So I see that as being consistent in design from low level to high.

[torn jewel]

Why does this STILL not have Vi'dar/Talio IA scoring towards it!? We've been asking since the IA was introduced

[vagrant topaz]

Unfortunately you're only level 31, and you don't have the same experience as most people do who are g4-g6. This event is super easy for a lower level people, and extremely difficult for a higher level people because the higher level people have to kill things up to 12 levels lower than their ops levels. So no, they did not design this to be completed in a reasonable amount of time. Most people who are G4 to G6 are taking anywhere from 2 to 4 hours to complete this event

This has nothing to do with leveling up too quickly, and everything to do with the enemies that grow exponentially in power. The person who designed the events did not take this into account. So for a level 60, the event still expects you to kill level 60s which are completely impossible because they're well over 100 billion in power, and most level 70s don't even have a ship that strong.

[rancid blaze]

Oh I understand I'm a strong 31, I'm in systems killing hijacked hostiles with high G3 and low G4. Just seems that I am well situated for this arc. Wondering why others are finding it so hard while there is evidence of similar higher levels finding it easy too.

Could it be the rush to power or FOMO?

[austere mortar]

here’s an idea for late g5 and G6, for threat reduction -> borg probes and swarm…. change it to be borg cube on fkrs or something?

[sharp thistle]

Best thing would be to add scoring for IA, you'd of thought that would have been a perfect solution for it, guess it's too difficult

[vagrant topaz]

It has nothing to do with anything that you stated. The enemies grow exponentially in power. this has nothing to do with a rush for power or FOMO. The event expects a level 60 to kill level 60s, and level 60 hostiles are well over 100 billion in power which even level 70 don't have ships that big most of the time.

Because of this, higher level people are often forced to kill these hostiles anywhere from 5 to 12 levels below their ops level . For example: I can only reliably kill 52s at ops 60. For yesterday's event, I had to score 38M points and only get 112,000 per hostile. That's 340 to kill. Today, it was 22.8 million. That's 204. That's 544 to kill in 48 hours. Is it doable? Yes if you're willing to put 4+ hours into grinding, but most people don't want to do that

This is not fun. This is not challenging. This is tedious.

I'm just done replying to you because you simply do not understand. Yes it can be done, but only by people who have camped their ops level levels for a very very long time and have overpowered ships for their ops level levels. This is not the norm. Stop trying to dismiss people who are actually having problems

[rancid blaze]

"Weak" low powered ship against a multi-billion powered hijacked. It can be done.
#🏆-event-chat message

[austere mortar]

i want to do an event, it’s just at some point it is as relevant as killing worms.

[sharp thistle]

Yeah that's fair, I'm fed up killing probes, maxed Talios, have so much loot I'll never use it, the only occasional thing I do is the borg solos since I can still use that loot, maybe give us option to score on the borg solos, because all of the borg group armadas become useless at 58 ops and max Talios

[craggy gorge]

I thought that there was supposed to be a Khan PvP event today? Or did that get bumped to tomorrow because of the Wrath Credits SLB being delayed 1 day?

[molten marlin]

never was one scheduled today

[craggy gorge]

Correct, sorry, got my dates mixed up, it is scheduled for tomorrow

[tranquil crescent]

I think you are really missing the point... just because you are a 31 killing your best.... that's nice. TallBear is Ops60, and has to kill far more of these teeny tiny ships that its a joke. They need bigger ships that count more to their higher need, so they don't need to kill so many! also @vagrant topaz (hope I spoke it correctly? )

[rancid blaze]

A 60 killing a 64 #🏆-event-chat message

#🏆-event-chat message

Check your crew or get some research done

[north dawn]

This is just a horrible take. Going by your tag, ops 31. The bulk of the player base is in the 40s. Which is where the vast majority of NEW loops are introduced.

It gets overwhelming fast. And mundane.

You sound very dismissive of the concerns raised by a lot of people. And well....its annoying.

As a headsup, if you do the total count of ALL grinds on both your hands you will run out of fingers🙂

[tranquil crescent]

Gosh... one example and you think you know everything sighs

[cosmic helm]

If you think I'm gonna spend every night in augment space just to get milestone sms done you can seriously jog on its bad enough with dailies and incoming events but then to force players to spend more time in a game they might not have yeah jog on ✌️ #BoycottAugments

[vagrant topaz]

Most people aren't overpowered for their ops level and don't have superpowered crew. The fact is the bulk of the players cannot do what those players are doing that you are linking to. The average player does not have these things done because they don't shell out tens of thousands of dollars

Even if I use the exact crew that those people are using, I still cannot kill much above a level 52 at ops 60. I'm a brand new level 60, and I do not have 2 billion powered ships. I also literally have 95% of my available research completed. I also have six fleet commander slots, and a lot of them properly powered up. I have a brand new g5 epic at 800M power. No matter how I crew that ship, it will not be able to punch up to hostiles at my level.The fact is these events were not designed properly.

Stop telling people to just "go do research" or something else. You're an ops 31 who has no idea what you're talking about. All your comments are just dismissive and belittling to people who are doing everything they are supposed to do and cannot defeat these hostiles properly and have massive problems with this event. Your comments are not helping people. This is not an issue where people just need to "get good."

@tranquil crescent thank you for your comment. 🙂

[brave wigeon]

I can dispatch 54s easily with a G5 rare. You are comparing power to power when there's more to it than that. By that logic, I couldn't kill a Level 60 Freebooter with a B'rel, but I can.

[vagrant topaz]

I know it's far more complex, but I was just using that as an example. I can dispatch a 54, but only two before my ship is killed and it's a brand new T1 G5 epic. I'm pretty sure your epic is far more tiered than mine. I'm literally a brand new level 60 who reached level 60 2 days ago. That's my point to this other guy. He's just pointing to some G6 that has an easy for this event when most G4/G5 do not.

[brave wigeon]

It's a G5 rare, I don't have an epic. I just killed 21 54s with it. Crewing is everything and a T1 epic may be less effective due to less below deck slots.

[vagrant topaz]

Then you probably camped out that level for a really long time and probably have better crew than me and other people do, but again you are one of the people in the minority. A lot of people are having problems with this event. I have tried the exact same crew that everybody else is, and I still get spanked. Probably because some of my crew is not ranked up high enough, but that is still my point: an event should never ever ever be designed to require that someone has things completely or almost maxed out

I also tried it with my G5 rare with more below deck slots, and it still gets spanked

[brave wigeon]

I don't know what really long is defined as, only since the last Alliance Tournament. My crew is Janeway, Annorax, S31 Georgiou and below deck is Quasi, Hugh, SNW Pelia, and Torres. None of them are max and only the older ones have some promotions.

[vagrant topaz]

I have everything there, but I do not have S 31G unlocked yet.. nor should an event like this require I have a very specific officer like that unlocked. If this event requires her in order to do it well, then I go back to my original statement – it was not designed properly

However, I do get 50% Apex shred through FC Khan through & 2k apex barrier.

[keen egret]

While I agree the new hostiles are annoying, it sounds like you leveled up way too quickly and are paying for it. I just went to ops 56 a week ago and am able to kill several level 54s with a t6 sanctus. 2 hulls of lvl 52s finished the event for me today

[vagrant topaz]

Not the case because I've completed all of my research, etc. If I had leveled up too quickly that would not be the case. The only thing I did not do was max out a G5 rare up to T 11 or T 12 because that's just a waste most of the time... and again if this event is requiring a ship that's nearly maxed, then that's a problem too

An event has to be designed to what The average person's capability is

That said. This is a feedback channel and not a "let's criticize the people giving feedback" that's what #🏆-event-chat is for

[brave wigeon]

I don't even have FC Khan. I still have tons of research to do.

[clear rune]

Alliance tournaments? we got eta yet?

[molten marlin]

no

[brave wigeon]

I thought it might be possible for one since a maintenance announcement popped up for Tuesday. I guess it's for other stuff then.

[keen egret]

I'm not trying to be critical of you. But what you're saying makes no sense. I've been f2p since july of 2022. I mostly only got the $20 bp prior to that and bought some primes that i could have gotten for free later anyway.So I don't have new primes or crazy officers. My fc were all free as well as all the fc slots I have. Yet I'm 4 levels below you and am killing as many or more of the new hostiles.

You need to crew better or missed something if you're having that much difficulty. However I do feel this arc was poorly thought out and even more poorly implemented.

[vagrant topaz]

It's not a case of crewing better because I'm using pretty much the same crew everybody else is using, and they punching up higher. The only one I'm missing is s31 g.

[vocal violet]

Hi, would still love to get an artifact event. Or maybe confirmation if you've stopped doing them as standalone events and are only doing them as dailies now?

[tribal halo]

<@&509690795536941056> Some feedback on past event: In January, there was an event to get 50 blueprints for the Voyager, which I was working to collect, having just leveled up past level 30 in Dec. I worked that event hard, as my top priority, and was frustrated to come to the end, and find out I'd been excluded from some of the events required for scoring, because I was a level too low for the qualifying event. If you're going to open the main event to players, make sure to include them in all the qualifying events, and not make it impossible for them to earn the full event's rewards. That was a very frustrating result after a month focusing on that.

[crisp creek]

Maybe reward players with more recruit tokens in events instead tritanium! NO ONE NEEDS TRITANIUM BRO

[rough dune]

I give up... not worth my life to grind for a stupid game that says "we will make it easier" and they do the opposite. This is a game, supposed to be entertainment, not a life. If you guys at Scopely want to keep bucks, stop paying for Pokemon Go, and Lambos.

[icy marsh]

Some people still need. Even with max efficiencies, I still needed 100 trillion trit to max all g5 epics. It's a lot needed

[worldly grove]

Umm i’m on 5* mats why are away team missions still on 3*?????

[burnt granite]

Because you are complaining about a several-year-old loop which as been recently renewed, and actually pays 5* mats if you advance in the renewed loop.

[north fog]

Redeem code

[tribal halo]

<@&509690795536941056> The new KHAN mission is locked behind a "broken" older mission. Yarda will forever be locked on my map because to unlock it means I have to destroy a ship for the "crime" of begging for mercy. No alternative action provided at that point in the arc, so I simply stopped it, and now you've actually made it an issue again with a dependent arc. sigh Please keep in mind that not everyone who plays video games is completely morally bankrupt.

[heady glacier]

There comes a time when you can’t let Scopley dictate you progression. I get it, but the amount of pve boosts there is amazing. You are hurting yourself more with that level of artifact waiting. Sometimes the rewards for that slb you want is nothing compared to what you are missing out on by nerfing yourself that much

[vague patio]

i recommend just doing all the efficiency ones and leave the rest for maybe a artifact event. you're missing out on way too much good stuff by leaving everything there

[noble furnace]

You don't level your ships past t3, right?

[vague patio]

must be nice to be a low level player am i right 🤣

[thick owl]

I read the description of the new event series that begins today and I don't like it at all. Sure in theory it's fine to use optimized crews for specific goals, but it looks like I'll need to pull crews from multiple ships to do most of the events.

[worldly grove]

Obviously I am not several years old, not even 1 year old in this game.... Second, if you can't post an ANSWER, then please don't bother to REPLY, game is way over convoluted as is...

[vague patio]

the answer is simple, they didnt bother to rework the older ATs. the older ATs are mainly just to source the away teams medals. the newer ones are for the better mat sourcing etc.

[worldly grove]

Thank you, thought I was missing something, just go forward with the new missions...

[heady glacier]

G6 players get only g4 at times. If we see a g5 reward we raise our eyebrows. Give us anything G6 and we question if Scopley sold the game
Long/short. many of those events were set years ago. For some reason going in and updating them is hard. Don’t ask me 🤷🏻‍♂️

[lilac oracle]

Since the EE event points are half of what they were, and with twice the time, are we getting compensation for the first few ?

[tribal halo]

"We are excited to introduce ... a new event series" It's almost like you guys didn't hear me (and others) say that there are too many concurrent events, and it is leading to burn out. Hint: it is not the 2000 daily limit that leads to burn out, but the people who are approaching and hitting 2k through active grinding, instead of passive methods, are finding the game takes too much time, and too much grind. Too much to do, all the time. This is a problem that those who started years ago never had to face. You've created an entry level problem to the game.

[modern spade]

Aaaand an SLB for spending officer depot tokens… that I all spent yesterday.
Announced as it starts. Priceless 👌

[hazy sierra]

Think I'll pass on the khan's challengers trash. Literally nothing worth the time investment in the event store for it. Great development as always.

Also love that you've added scoring for specific officers to dump all over the people that don't have them yet. Charming approach.

[terse moss]

The KHAN challenger event is not scoring for me

[twin knoll]

yet another away team battle pass event that a LOT of your players have no chance of completing I can assure you this is the last time I will be buying the elete unlock if I cant gurantee completion im not spending the money.

[feral ridge]

Picard's FKR Challenge not scoring for me either. Enterprise-E Picard captain with Ent-E Data and Ent-E Riker on the bridge, Torres/Hugh/Tendi all below-decks, killing g5 Fed hostiles

[molten marlin]

are you using the officers?

[worthy jay]

Picard's FKR is not scoring for me either, have all of the named officers both on deck and below. Officer shard acquisition works fine

[spark radish]

Same problem here, killed G3 and G4 so far, nothing.

[viscid thorn]

<@&509690795536941056> artifact slb events seem to not exsist anymore? 😁

[chrome oracle]

Yeah G6 isn't scoring either.

[halcyon fiber]

how many away team events did we have this month, or over the couple last weeks.
its getting very excessive.

Remember Trait XP and Boosters are a limited resource

S098 - not scoring

[jaunty ingot]

1400 pts for Picard's FKR Challenge, you only get 11 points using all officers if they are not maxed out. that 128 kills, Scopely you still didnt learn from your exciles event scam

Where is the Augment Prime pack you posted 5/15 that was to be available 5/16 ????? 🤦‍♀️

[molten marlin]

the prime is available

[delicate parcel]

No points for me in G3

THanks, from the first message, I thought it was all my Fault, lol... AMAZING!

[iron python]

@fervent meteor it was the word typically used as an insult that automod caught (starts with an I). Feel free to repost without that word.

[high aurora]

Get the other prime that has a 20% chance to make your P1 ATA 1 hr. You don't want buyers remorse next month

[fervent meteor]

i* word deleted....as requested...
@full swan

[iron python]

<@&509691205798592532> Let that screenshot stay please. It is not an attempt to circumvent.

[high aurora]

Every time the away teams reset that 20% chance to reduct to 1 hr gives you more potential choice to pick a good 1 hr event that spawns. The value is in the choice and saving speedups, not to run more away teams than you can start. Eventually you'll build up enough speedups for the new ATA's that you can do a longer one with your banked speedups if it doesn't spawn as a 1h one. It's a meta big picture design

[scarlet steppe]

OK-Explain why I didn’t Score in this new Khan-Pic event 🤔 It scores in every single other event

[molten marlin]

It was busted early on, should be scoring now

[limpid magnet]

working for me in a g3 system

[scarlet steppe]

OMGosh, Seriuosly…..G3 🤦‍♀️. Thanx Rumble 💜

[fervent meteor]

Anyway, folks, then score is based on the Officers, not the Hostile Level, so ANY hostile works the same....To get mor points, need all 6 asked officers on the ship !
And, as bonus, if you havebReputation issues, hit the hostiles in Amalgam area....Those give/take NO reputation, but still count as FKR !

[kindred aurora]

Thank goodness Riker's in the crew list so I at least have some impulse speed killing 128 hostiles.

And another stupid grind event. How insane. Have Scopely no better ideas? Its ridiculous to let the people click hundreds of hostiles 😡
@full swan

[gusty plume]

Having to grind out 175 hostiles to complete the new event is NOT enjoyable or "fun". Bring the total points needed to complete down from 1400 to something like 800-1000.

[stoic ferry]

wth is this. Died in the Khan PVP event for Nothing. No points for dying. Not going to do it.

Died for nothing in Khan PVP event

[hollow lichen]

Just ask someone to kill their realta 5 times, then you send yours 5 times to get shot. Play the system, not the game

[median coral]

If the Khan's Challengers Meta - SMS is supposed to be a 10 day event that started today (May 17), why does it show 8d 18h remaining 6 hours after launching instead of 9d 18h?

[ivory cape]

Yooo where's the partial unlocks in the store? Only full unlocks exist there.

[lethal moss]

This arc is boring grindfest after grindfest, especially if you don’t spend tons of money. I think the arc runner needs to learn what players actually want from events and learn how to balance player experience to needing to spend to complete in reasonable times. Their comments in the Q&A really showed how much they don’t understand the players of this game.

[wet crag]

So in the Infinite wisdom of giving that huge amount of Augment rep in that compensation chest... did anyone in the process think at all about how is screws low level players for trying to level the Botany Bay ? LOL

[tribal halo]

what do you need the Botany Bay for? Once completed, I stopped using the ship.

[wet crag]

you mean other than its entire archive tree that I cant unlock without levelling it ?

Or you know, the augment quest line that needs me to get the plutonium at various points ?

[tribal halo]

So you're upset about not being able to do research for an obsolete ship? Or to get the parts to level it? Or does it affect something else? Not being a wise guy, I'm really not seeing the problem with skipping the ship entirely. The story line is broken for me anyway. The archive gives stuff for leveling it up that you don't need since you've just maxed it out.

[wet crag]

you dont want the mining speed bonus to all ships from each tier of its archives ? Well that's your choice then, I quite like the +200% mining speed to all survey ships myself, plus the 100 independant credits per pull which are still used to level independant officers

[tribal halo]

I wasn't aware it affected all ships, I thought it affected only the BB. That I guess is reason enough to build and complete it.

[brazen latch]

The data mining is what feeds the directives for the Stella. Which is what makes the Thursday event that is the best source of badges to rank up officers in the game.

[wet crag]

most of the archive buffs actually affect all ships, the damage vs non-armada hostiles for the vi'dar - all ships, protected cargo increase from the d'vor ? all ships .. mitigation vs non-armada hostiles from the Amalgam ? all ships.. infact I believe the only one which doesnt affect all ships is the Voyager archive

[idle parcel]

Many people complained about the tedious and ridiculous 2 hr grind for the new hostiles. Nothing was ever said from Scopely, except to give a 2 hr FKR grind event.

This is the only QOL that matters to us. We have families and jobs and hobbies and outside interests, other than STFC. More will be leaving the game if this isn't addressed and fixed soon.

[main tendon]

New requirements for Away Teams BP event are excessive. You’re running other AT events and people have already used a ton of resources. Adjust it

[idle parcel]

It seems to be more and more about spending money on the game, yet, this kind of nonsense is only making people play less or quit the game.

[open beacon]

Echoing this. I've never missed an away team BP event before, but I simply cannot complete this one due to the crazy high requirements this time around. All my saved speedups are gone and they are so difficult to source its just impossible to complete now. Going to have to have a load of ATAs just sitting there ready to claim all the time in case it comes up again. Going to miss out of the treasury broken desealing rods now also.

[idle parcel]

I completed it doing officer traits, but I did a bunch too before.

[open beacon]

ah, good thinking. done that now but now theyre all spent, lol. at least got the remaining points

[idle parcel]

Awesome. It's weird how it's not in the scoring for the event regarding the traits. The last one had me stressed, as I had to do a bunch of ATSs as well. I just tried it today, and it worked.

[median coral]

Ops 56
For this arc, I really like the fact that nothing was really time gated or pay gated for acquiring the new features. The Bulk refine really shaved off a lot of just tedious click time, and I really appreciated that. The arc also had a good variety of events (appreciate the kill count reduction for the new hijacked hostiles). The main story line mission was on point.

For the updated Augment Faction store, I like what the store has to offer so far (at Patron rep). If you just wanted to do single pulls, grinding out the requisite number of splicers for the exchange targeted for your Ops level (G3: Common, G4: Uncommon, G5: Rare, G6: Epic) took some effort, and you had to hit down in order to do the loot grind. For example, as OPs 56 with a T9 1mil Power Sanctus w/o any of the new officers, I had to hit way down in order to make the time spent worth it. The 52's I can do with a loot crew BD, which allows me to get a decent number of splicers per run. Against the 56's, my best results have been with Janeway/Seska/Annorax, BD: Torres, PIC Hugh, Quasi, Garrett, SNW Chapel, but can only kill 4 per hull. Forget about punching up. Against the 54s, I could kill about 16 ships per hull, netting around 3800 Rare splicers. Against the 52's I swapped Seska for Suder in side officer slot, and then swapping out Garrett and Chapel for Byr and TheDoctor, I was getting 12k+ Rare Splicers per hull.
This is the first month of the new content and it has been stated that next month will make these hostiles easier. I hope so and not behind a paywall or a very heavy grind effort, otherwise this will quickly become a bitter fruit.

I like the updates to the Away Teams Research tree, especially reducing the costs to tier up a lot of the older officers, which have been a very slow acquisition. I hope the Event Store choice officers stay around and continue to allow for targeted officer acquisition.

[rapid quail]

Mark of Khan (loots), and Augment Hunter (rep) favors in the store make this go way smoother and should be a priority purchase in the faction store.

[idle parcel]

Thanks. I always just look at the buttons, and it is missing from there.

[opaque hawk]

i noticed this month they lowered the points you get for spending trait xp.

[idle parcel]

Oh wow. Figures.

[vernal fulcrum]

@full swan can you let the Overlords know that more than a 24-48 notice that Alliance Tournament is coming would be nice

It says FRK hostiles

[old pollen]

hi on the picards fkr challenges my a bridge crew is scoring but my lower deck crew is not adding up the score ???

[short pier]

What is even the motivation behind this FKR challenge? It's not heroic so you didn't intend people to spend for it, so it seems like you really just don't get the message that nobody likes 100+ hostile grinds and you want to make sure players don't forget how out of touch you are. You just had to tone down a series of hostile events, you didn't think we'd already forgotten? The arc runner for this event needs a reality check.

[vernal fulcrum]

If you use the right crew it was like 30 kills

[tribal halo]

With 8 different cards for the WOK event, most of them leading to groups of cards, it leads to a ton of wasted time trying to find the event I am looking to work on, or check if I've missed something. I would rather have them all under 1 card for the arc, then have the completed ones moved to the right, next to the blue ones, so I can quickly and easily see what still needs to be done. This could have been done so much cleaner, it almost feels like the chaos is intentional. Let us play the game instead of fiddling and diddling please.

[high aurora]

G6 solos count. I just did one

[worn galleon]

Another 10x bonus for T5 crew... don't want the whales to get annoyed with the grind, eh?

[thick owl]

Congratulations Scopely. I have D'jash and Toli at T1 and Ent-E Troi at T3. I don't have the other 3 officers for today's event. That means I need to do 40 Fed Armadas for today's event. Whoever designed this WHALE centric event series needs to be forced to slog their way through the events.

[hollow lichen]

Have you lost your mind with the mada sms? That's way too expensive of an investment, cut the milestones by 10 fold maaaybe

[halcyon goblet]

too many armadas...

[worn galleon]

At least scale it for T2/3/4 so you can pretend, but this is naked

[quaint vessel]

At least the whole server won’t be fighting over a single factions armadas…

[short pier]

If you have them maxed LOL

[median coral]

I did buy the Mark of Khan favor, but it's purchase was lost during the database issues, so still waiting on that ticket to be resolved.

[low remnant]

These Khan’s challenges are insane. And balanced poorly. If you’ve been in G4 FKR less than a month, they are literally impossible.

Do better devs. Some grind now and then, fine. But this arc is just incessant.

[sterile yew]

It isn't just g4. I don't have these officers maxed many of them are less than 6 months old. Max points I can get is 110 points per armada so that is 15 armadas just to finish this event. That is steap.

Also relegating it to one faction space is an aweful idea as well

[low remnant]

I only have 2 of these officers and the rest have no consistent sourcing until 42 so haven’t had the opportunity to source these. I need 53 armadas. Will be skipping this entire SMS I think.

[copper oak]

i would have to make 23 (!) armadas. i think you spider.

[robust bronze]

“Only” 18 armadas for me. This is absolutely over the top!!

[strange tusk]

40 armadas for me, really Scopely

[neat condor]

these challenger events need to acknowledge ranks other than 1 and 5 for officers. Rank 5 are 10 to 20 times more points than Rank 1, which leaves a lot of room for ranks 2, 3, and 4 to be worth extra as well. This would make the grind less ridiculous, while also rewarding progress towards rank 5

[small rover]

Swarm Sunday events missing

Coming up now, 10 minutes later than usual. First it was 5 minutes late for some of these weekly events, now it's 10 minutes for this one? C'mon.....

Weekly events are like Q's Trials now, randomly showing up 🤣

[shadow trellis]

Mu event too

[lilac oracle]

" haven't introduced a loop like this ... " Do you mean 1 this terrible?? ( aahh!!! Light mode!!)

[spare island]

https://tenor.com/view/this-sucks-butt-head-beavis-and-butt-head-s2-e1-this-is-bad-gif-3093075322669168618

[shut aurora]

It works for fed solos if you only have one ship with those officers. I had three ships and it did not score. I did another with one ship and it worked.

[tough perch]

There's not enough solos for the entire server in one faction

[tribal halo]

<@&509690795536941056> Cardasian armadas are vital to the growth of the alliance star base. You have a weekly event that requires each player to use up about a month's worth of armada directives on faction armadas, which precludes spending them on the Cardasian armadas. Now you have significantly compounded that by adding other events that require armadas that specifically exclude Cardasian armadas. It feels like you either don't understand your own game, or are intentionally thwarting achieving both healthy growth of the alliance and completion / competition in events.

[digital pilot]

The design of loottables and events for this arc makes me seriously question if the ones behind it actually play the game at all.
First you forcibly funnel high OPS players back into low OPS systems to get all variants of loot therefore making the experience for lower OPS players exceptionally miserable.
Now you unleash an event calling for large-scale amounts and faction specific armadas.
Honestly....how do you think that works out on a live server with an average server population?
This is getting ridiculous at this point.

[inner heart]

This event is little more than a giant middle finger to the casual player

[sand sigil]

no battle pass daily, armadas not re-spawning. what a nice day, hello compchest

[tough perch]

Honestly don't know why we bother posting anything in here. They don't listen or care

[low remnant]

These comp chests are coming in faster than I can soend the elite rewards chests I buy from emergency field rations. 😂

[worn galleon]

So glad the Q&A lead to a greater understanding of the ask from the community and the input was acted on.

[magic steeple]

Thanks for the event I have zero chance of completing. with only 2 officers even doing 2 armadas at a time, that is 10 hours solid of nothing but armadas. who has that kind of time

[tribal halo]

We heard you, and so we've added extra faction armadas to the current event.

[placid minnow]

I only have one of those officers so I'd have to do 160 armadas to compete this absurd event. I don't understand why y'all are not putting scaled points on these events. Higher points for higher level enemies yesterday, higher points for higher level FKR armadas today. We thought the amount of exiles we had to kill before y'all scaled it back was bad, this is just not possible. This entire arc has been bad.

[worn galleon]

Their response to that in internal chats is 'Have you tried being poor somewhere else?'

[low remnant]

<@&509690795536941056>

There’s been a significant issue this arc with events and content not being appropriate for the average player at their ops level.

1. P1ata - I maxed my first officer around the same time I ascended to ops 40. Yet, these missions require rare and epic maxed officers to stand a decent chance. Between the requirements of useful officer (lock up Moreau for 4 days? No thanks), and the missions being inappropriately scaled for average player at their ops, these are disappointing and not worth my time as a player.

2. The new hostile loop is significantly grindy if you don’t win one of the spending SLBs. I’ll have a T3 Carol at the end of these events, and only now is the grind bearable.

3. The events - these have been horrifically scaled for the new hostiles and expectations for non hostile grinds are excessive, even if I was willingg to buy more than 1 thing per month. If you are incredibly strong for your ops, they are still hard, but far more doable. After this push to ops uo, ops up, ops up, why are you punishing players for being good as opposed to great for their level?

[kindred aurora]

I'd love to know the stats on how many players have any of the required officers at tier 5. This Challenger event is such a slog.

[dawn glacier]

All the events have been way to much grind with way to much screen time needed to complete them. You are turning this game into a second job and the players should start invoicing you for their time spent to provide testing, bug reports, and deal with your lack of communicaion and quality assurance.

[untold zephyr]

Missing the BP event for 40+ players

[molten marlin]

Those with a missing bp, dm me your playerID got enough ids now, it's being looked into

[north dawn]

Y'all need to start firing the genius running these events

[keen basin]

Maybe hire someone with a functional brain and more than a teaspoon of imagination instead

[tribal halo]

Use your speed ups to complete the armadas faster.

[alpine topaz]

All of mine are t2 except odo, who is t4. The only way to have them t5 is if you bought them when they came out, or maybe if you drop $500 in the event store loot.

And I agree with @low remnant . The new area grind is like 8-10 hulls worth of work because the requirement expects you to be able to hit 60+ but my t10 ent d with the correct crew is not really viable on anything higher than 56s, so it takes forever or costs me a ton in repairs.

[junior pond]

I see they are looking at the missing battlepass that some folks had. Is the scopley weekend crew looking at the milestones too and how terrible they are for this armada event? I mathed it out to almost 7 hours of just having a ship in armadas before you have to account for actually moving between them. It's worse for others in our alliance. It's completely unrealistic timing wise to think that sort of in game time is possible for people to be able to even come close to completing.

[magic steeple]

If I had that unlocked sure. Sadly not yet an option for me

[wet grove]

Whoever designed the SMS events this arc has obviously never even bothered to play this game themselves with a normal non-maxed-dev account.
The scoring and point requirement is so far off any realistic time/reward balance that it doesnt take too much of a loose tongue to claim whoever designed this is aiming at driving people away from doing these events.

In my specific position I‘d have had to kill 1600 augments for normal, and over 2000 for the heroic event.
Today with my op60 and over five years playtime, I do not have a single of the armada officers maxed that are required for today’s event - in fact I only own 3/6. This means I would have to kill 40 Fed Armadas to complete this event - which is more than unrealistic.

Please reconsider these point requirements, otherwise I can garantee you you‘ll see the worst event participation of the year, because people just wont bother.

[warped knoll]

Why are the solo-madas not counting?
They are FED … or are they not?

[molten marlin]

they count, try having the officers on the only ship present, or the smallest

[sharp thistle]

Solo G6 are not counting, I've done 3 group armadas, 3 solo armadas. I get 110 for each group, nothing for the solo, and I am only using 1 ship with Tolra, Toli and DeMarco

Which for an event is getting the entire server to run armadas, is causing chaos, at least if the G6 scored, it might make things a bit simpier...Though guess it's to hard

[versed grotto]

This is ridiculous. Fix the Armada event. Just wasted Rare Solo credits and no points

Ineptly has struck again!! Only the officers on your lowest powered ship count.

Fix the scoring or fix the description <@&509690795536941056>

[warm kestrel]

Events that are are too difficult and or too time consuming to complete and a sharp increase in stability and scoring issues have combined to make this month's in game experience unfun and unenjoyable.

[cold karma]

20 de armada a cate 15 min !!!!!! sa stea ma-ta 5 ore pentru un eveniment

[viscid thorn]

Did you do your solos in fed space? Had no problem with scoring

[sterile plank]

Solo armadas count, but I only had one ship with all officers on board. Maybe several ships broke scoring system somehow...

[floral matrix]

Any idea of when the chat bot will be back up and running

[sharp thistle]

Ahh you are right. It's my bad not reading the event and for thinking scopely wouldn't completely screw players up by forcing them into the few systems with the limited FED armadas, when 99% of the time armada events are FKR so people can actually spread out through systems instead of clustering together and having to wait for them to respawn...

Guess we will have a Klingon and a Romulan event to look forward to....

[sonic robin]

Don't give them ideas please, this is a disgusting waste of time for nearly all players. Even most old timers don't have many if any of those at T5

[fluid gust]

these officer-required events really need scaling.
lower ops players don't have all the officers, and definitely won't have them maxed.
this increases the time and effort needed to unreasonable levels.
lower ops players also have far more limited sourcing of directives, an ops60+ can do it all on their own but low-40's need to do far more armadas and in a smaller alliance simply can't get enough even with everyone working together.
i saw this event will be repeated, there simply isn't enough time to recover directives.

usually events with such a different difficulty/doability level difference will have requirements scaled to what a player at their ops should be capable of, but there's 0 scaling.

at the very least there should be some bonus points for higher tier officers, not just all or nothing (or rather 1x or 10x), someone with a tier 3 officer in there should be getting a few bonus points too.
and the point requirements should be a bit lower for lower ops players.

[loud hare]

just crazy - had to participate in 40 armadas

[lethal jasper]

most of us CANT do solo armadas in FED space and only have half the officers listed, NOT at Rank 5. This would take HOURS to finish, and like 26-30 regular fed armadas. Forget this event. boo Scopely.

[ember vortex]

Scopley is focused on OPS 40+ now. They mentioned some time ago staying at 39 to farm, which was the common practice, is now irrelevant.

With more and more servers hitting at least the first ascension, I don't expect to see any future events targeted at players below 40.

[fluid gust]

but this is not "ops40+ focused" content.
it's more like ops60+ focused.

[limpid nimbus]

The current event chain is the biggest pile of censored ever.

1. If you dont have the needed officers you cant get any points, so only the luckers with big draws and the older players have a chance to complete these events...and the biggest joke is, those who already have good crews get more of them by completing the events while the players who need crew can watch how the gap grows deeper and wider every day.

2. Today was even worse, who spends 10h with armadas? And who can start so many? So those who only have one or two officers are also pretty unable to complete it

3. New, young, weak and players with limited time cant grow if the events focus on on 40+...even big players leave because the game became a fulltime job they have to pay for and new players quit after a few weeks.

Sure, scopely wants to earn money, but leaving players dont pay anymore and if new players dont get hooked they dont keep playing. This concept is failing because its not fun anymore.

[woeful whale]

These Kahn events (like the armada one today and hostile hunt yesterday) I believe should be used as a teaching tool for players to learn officer combinations. Forcing people to use officers together is a good way to highlight the crew combinations.

That said, the scoring is a bit much. Very rarely do people have all the officers. And even more rare to have one or all maxed for max points.

The level of hostile/armada hit should play into the points earned.

Edit: I should also add that both days had a lot of time needed. They should be 2 day events.

It would be a good idea to size each event not according to where scopley wants its players to be but where they actually are. They kinda already do this with ops scaling. But they should really analyze what the average player has for officers (mostly not maxed), then understand how long they want the event to take, and finally set the scoring to reach that time commitment using the average player as a barometer.

For example, if an event should take 10 minutes and 1000000 points to finish, the average player should be able to earn 100000 points per minute.

If scopley had these targets in mind while using the correct player metrics, I feel that they would never have a bad event again. They could even publish the expected time commitment on the event description.

Lastly, to address the obvious push to get better and get officers, in the current format and the one I describe, the drive to get those officers and to max them are the same, less time commitment.

[heady glacier]

Horrible month for everything regarding performance.
I would love the rewards for the meta, but if solos didn’t count, me personally knows when I see a 💩 storm, I walk away. My own sanity is more important

[molten marlin]

Solos count, officers need to be on the smallest ship or only ship in the armada

[heady glacier]

I only use one ship in any event that says that. If peeps need to step down to use one. Do what you gotta do or not 🤷🏻‍♂️

[low remnant]

Agreed. I have the same requirements as a 42 as the 60s in my alliance. Plus, some of these from newer arcs are officers I never got an opportunity to source because I was too low level to get them, or the arc occurred before I started playing, These aren’t feasible for most G4 players.

[ebon wharf]

Seems really counterintuitive when every previous iteration of having a FT/CT/Officer on ship and solos counting, the item/Officer needed to be on the biggest ship.

Also, why is armada event without any graduated scoring in between unlock and maxed rank?

[mossy breach]

not even quality of the Armada gives you more Points i will skip it and hope i got enough Points for the Meta

[fluid gust]

there's 15 events and 1200 points needed i think.
but there are 4 armada events i think, 3 with tolra and 1 with sisko.

[placid minnow]

This is the worst event I've ever seen on this game. Only have 1 officer so they want me to do 160 armadas. At 15 minutes each that would be 40 nonstop hours to even complete, and that's IF i had 160 armadas worth of directives available to me.

It's a 24 hour event. There's 1440 minutes in a day. Even if someone were to have 24 hours straight to run armadas with not a single second wasted in between, it's only possible to run 96 FKR armadas in that time frame without speed ups. You've literally made this impossible for players who do not have any of the officers, or players who only have one of the officers.

[swift rain]

this is a heroic event but we're not getting rewarded like it is one. nearly all of my alliance trying today (we've been running madas all day) has given up because of the lack of scoring. i say boo hiss.

[gusty plume]

Exactly who thought these "Khan's Challengers" events were a good idea?

Seriously. These things are a HORRIBLE grind unless you happen to have a ton of T5 officers piled up.

NEWS FLASH! Pretty much no one below Ops 60 is likely to have a veritable pantheon of maxxed out officers!

[lilac oracle]

This whole arc is just a disaster. Starting with the EE augment where I was , at ops 50, to destroy over 800 hostiles. Now having 5 of the 6 armada officers, I still need 16 armadas ( 4.5 hrs back to back, if available) to complete the event. Dumpster fire 🔥......

[quick hornet]

I have several other grinds to do each day. And now I just wasted about 5 hours of my day doing armadas. I'm Ops 59 I finished with the regular armada loop years ago. I already had enough credits for probably about a year's worth of full pulls. Why not add solos to the list? The lower levels who could even benefit from this event don't have the directives to start rare and epic armadas and also need rips to get to the big armadas. I've grown more and more uninterested in FKR armadas over the last several months. I honestly can't stand to do FKR armadas anymore, they also take forever to run without speed-ups (which can also run out).

[lethal jasper]

32 armadas over 5 1/2 hours straight for me to finish it. and the only reason it wasnt longer was because we had some amazing higher level players who willingly used some of their directives and speed ups occasionally so we could get more in a shorter amount of time. I have 4 of the 6 officers, but all are only rank 1. not even close to having the other 2 officers.

That is FAR too much for one event. No way will I be doing it again if theres a Romulan or Klingon one. not worth the time, directives, or effort. This is a terrible event.

[stoic linden]

I haven't been on at all today but I feel like I'm automatically on the bandwagon to what on earth is this and who ever thought this was a good idea?

Not so bad if we had sourcing and the ability to actually do it but this? Get off the grass, not touching it.

[idle parcel]

I must say, I've never been more frustrated and disappointed in this game as I have this month.

It's not that it's bad enough to get yet another grind, but to get one like these new ones, having to grind for hours several times a week is bonkers.

Then, to add insult to injury, they give us this several hour armada event today.

Then, on top of all that, and trying to get dailies and all the other grinds done, we have to put up with serious lag and other annoying issues.

It's like they are purposely trying to tank the game and push people away. I really don't know how much longer I can or will continue this game. It has stopped being fun. I really enjoy the alliance I'm in, but the game has now become a full-time job and a chore to play each day.

The problem with all this too is that some just keep doing this, regardless of how much Scopely throws our way.

When is it enough? I'm about there. Unless Scopely actually listens to people and cuts the grind severely by adding things like Ops 61 Freebooters and 6 star Dominion token mining, and adding either the other grinds to the Freebooters or as an archive, this game will fizzle out fast for many. Seeing all the comments here says that many already had enough.

<@&509690795536941056> when will you all stop ignoring what people are saying and actually do something about these issues? The company's silence says it all. Stop talking about QOL improvements when you add new hours long grinding for yet another new system and haven't done anything to reduce the way over the top grinding we all have to do each day if we want to keep up in the game.

[quasi swift]

I understand making things not super easy to achieve so that there's satisfaction in achieving it, also for the FOMO crowd to spend money on the game which is a business BUT making things challenging and making them not impossible but pretty much close to impossible to achieve by the shear difficulty and quantity of hostiles needed for this arc is just ridiculous, I mean, the people who spend on the game have jobs and more than likely a spouse, kids ect. And all the while you say you're going to make things less of a grind but keep not only adding grinding but excessive grinding. This by far is the worst arc, event store and events since the game started. Not only that you tie in the said almost impossible grinding to finish the missions, and then you have away teams events only for basically people who spend because 5 day away missions or 4 days on the short ones is also ridiculous. This is why so many people who are high level players quit playing. Have had 3 quit the alliance this past week. I'm a level 67 and spend more time than I should on the game but this is just ridiculous and by the feedback on here you can see I'm not alone. All the glitches and lag ect then as "compensation " you throw a few shards or field rations 🤣😅 even the officers shards are a joke, every officer you give i have maxed ,all the transporter officers are maxed so you're giving me useless transporter patterns. I don't say that to brag I say that because I've always been behind on officers and if I have them all then so do most people over 60. All I know is that if with each arc getting worse another new specialty ship coming that will more than likely be as useless as the last 5 you push more and more of us out of the game

[austere bay]

Would be cool to get rid of materials in another way than building ships..... like you get shafted for having high efficiencies. At this point i would have to build multiple g5 ships in excess to finish this (i already got 3 g5 epics just to not completely waste ressources on stuff i cant get rid off for ages if at all)

[keen smelt]

What is it Scopely, 20-29 or 20-30....

[undone roost]

This months event had really put me off spending any more money and putting so much time into the game. Been playing less than a year and am ops 42. I felt like I was progressing decently but the last few weeks just felt like not really worth the time and effort. Even some of the higher levels are struggling with how much there is to do now just to do the daily task events, there not enough time for boasting the lower levels. Would have to run 28 Fed amardas in a day, yesterday I had to kill nearly 200 Klingons. The EE augments having to kill about 150. It’s just too much grinding the same stuff

[visual furnace]

Unfortunately this particular arc runner seems to enjoy upsetting all the players with crazy grinds and stupid amounts of screen time for the first month of their arcs only to make everything so much easier by adding a ship to make all of it easier in part 2 of the arc which you can get for that real world money they desire sooooooo much.

I personally don't think its the right way of doing things, feels like we are being strong armed into buying the new ship or putting up with it and killing ourselves to do stuff for 100+ days until the F2P unlock has finally been achieved or just accept you're going to be really far behind on yet more content compared to people that pay extra.

I wish the devs would actually just see how much this arc, along with all its issues has caused problems for the players and just go sorry, we love you, here's the reliant available in the premium battlepass or even totally FTP but...I think we have no chance of seeing this 'kindness'

<@&509690795536941056> types could really do a solid by suggesting something different for the unlock of next months speciality ship because my life....you need to get players back on board. Discord has been rife with rants and bug reports, the game has been so incredibly broken this month. We need a solid gesture

[solar kestrel]

😥 i thought Scopely promised to balance arena matchup?

This is grossly imbalanced!

[visual furnace]

that's the ranks of your team throwing it off as the other team are higher ops but all babies in terms of arena rank. I do agree though that the rank vs level does "score" weighting does need addressing

[undone roost]

I I jumped from 39 to 42 during the big event so this is the 1st arc I am experiencing it. I managed to get most of the speciality ships (monaveen, vind, nsea, freesha, nx-01, revenant, titan-A and Cerritos) so there a lot to do just doing them without doing these huge grinds.

[solar kestrel]

.. and this is even worse

[solar kestrel]

Rank means player is giving more time for arena
Ops means player is giving more time for the game in general

[undone roost]

After spending 60k tokens my score is still zero

[stray topaz]

If that's the artifact daily I am seeing the same thing

[undone roost]

No this is the officer depot token spend

[runic arrow]

Do solo waves no longer count for WDBP?

[molten marlin]

they count

[runic arrow]

Serious lag points finally came through

[visual furnace]

I know WHAT they mean....read back I said i don't know how the scoring for the match making works. I am ops 67 dude I know what an ops level is and what the arena rank is!

What I am saying is I don't know how they score in balance. i.e. does rank produce a higher "score" for matching making or does ops "score" more or is it more balanced.

[undone roost]

Took 14 mins but my points finally showed on event

[wild osprey]

Has anyone in the production team actually played the game? These grind targets are ridiculous for this arc and the Fed armada target, boy you’ve out done yourself on this one. Suppose you’ll have a Rom and Klingon armadas events line up as well.

[visual furnace]

next month we will get the new ship and friendlier events so we can look back and go oh yeah that arc was decent. It's how this dev rolls

[sonic robin]

I disagree, this is one of the worst arcs in months with clear design choices aimed at wasting players time

[tacit zephyr]

I do agree with him: Scopely is the only company I know that can keep improving on errors day after day, but only in a bad way.
In fact, Scopely works this way: I have more errors today than yesterday, but fewer than tomorrow.

[fast owl]

Scopely only cares about how much money you spend and that’s all. Look how over priced pokemon go and monopoly go are just like this game

[visual furnace]

Not sure who you are disagreeing with? but yes this part 1 of WOK has been made especially difficult and frustrating just so next month we are all desperate to buy the new ship that will solve our issues. Same with the arc that bought us the Revenant, same with the MU release which was then "fixed" by the NSEA.

Feels like this arc has pushed it even further IMHO and with all the bugs, lost resources and maintenance sessions it really feels to me like they should make the reliant available at a minimal (via the premium BP) or zero cost as an apology for how rough its been this month

[sonic robin]

I'm disagreeing with the notion I'll have a favourable opinion about the augment expansion design even after I get the speciality ship in 4 months or so

[visual furnace]

Dunno... everyone seems to like the MU now apart from all the stop/start of the rifts the faction is solid... not that I can be bothered with it and whatever refinery/bonus pulls the ship brings will be solid too... eventually

[sonic robin]

the rewards are good, the loop is bad, at least until you unlock the speciality ship and this loop is even worse as you indicated

[tribal halo]

Any chance of Scopely doing something about the current event's mission being blocked by the locked systems for the Botany Bay missions I can't complete? Wasn't much of an issue until the locked systems were required for additional content.

[visual furnace]

Give a girl a chance. If I fully detailed how bad this loop was id be on a lifetime bad 🤣

[sonic robin]

Just wait until we get the romulan and klingon versions of the daft armada event and other "fun" events

[visual furnace]

Probably will get the wormadas back at the rate with crews everyone long forgot about

[ocean crypt]

quality of life joke, all 6 officers in latest augment hunt, still only 15pts without any rank 5 officer, over 130 kills to reach the 2k pts required to complete, what type of quality of life do you call that, zero quality, zero life, how long to kill over 130 kills, and no matter what size of hostile you are killing , each always takes the exact same length of time to kill, total quality farce

[celest iron]

You gotta love arena matchmaking. Like ebola or testicular cancer..

[sonic robin]

Now run the numbers on todays khan event assuming you got all officers unlocked but none maxed and than imagine how many don't even have all of them unlocked.

[tribal halo]

Congratulations. I only have 2 of the officers for scoring.

[spare island]

Scopely you guys suck for these grindy events

[high aurora]

So the 1 day event, that became a 2 day event, is now a 1 day event again….come on Scopely…..

[manic sinew]

I feel like I'm paying to work a full time job with this arc.

[short pier]

These events are starting to feel like the excuse I needed to finally break the habit and quit, tbh. Ya'll better course correct quick before you start losing players.

[vivid tapir]

Anyone know how to gain latinum?

[nimble solstice]

It's incredible <@&509690795536941056> , your player base is filing complaint after complaint about the MASSIVE grind that comes with this new arc and you just continue throwing events at them that take ages to complete and yield such few rewards.
You are not only ignoring the feedback of your players (=CUSTOMERS), you are laughing at it by talking QoL, "grind reduction" and keeping on releasing new bug-infested content.
Hostiles that destroy your ships instantly upon contact? In your faces, Commanders! Destroying 300+ hostiles per Event? Sure why not, let's see how many players are addicted enough to this game to actually complete these ridiculous objetives! New Away Team missions that take a week to complete just to fail in the end? It must be so funny to sit at your desks at Scopely HQ seeing all those players WASTE their time and money.
Enough is enough. If you keep on this track, you will start bleeding players (I repeat, =CUSTOMERS) and you will run this miserable company in the ground. Honestly, this behaviour is an INSULT to all the Star Trek Fans out there that enjoy the franchise and you're RUINING it.
I really enjoy playing this game, but this has now gone too far

[naive viper]

At only 6 points per hostile i will not be doing the Pikes Exiles events. Not spending all night trying to kill 300+ hostiles.

[sand sky]

Scopely these events are a complete joke. Either do something about this insane daily grind or lose 90% of your player base

[sullen coral]

I started this arc by deciding very early that I wouldn't be doing a single one of the ridiculous grinds given to us. However it has now gone a step further. I'm actually resenting logging in & seeing what horrific grind the 🤡 at Scopely gave us today. Given the rate the resentment grows, I assume that I'll be uninstalled & moved on from this "game" by the end of this part of the arc. So if that was what Scopely were aiming for with this arc, congratulations cos they nailed it. 👏👏👏

[atomic fossil]

more start time differences?? please, for the love of spock, one start time.

[mild coyote]

How about you keep your promises and when saying you'll lower the milestones you dont just raise them again later? This arc is becoming a giant scam

[molten marlin]

the milestones were lowered for the regular sms and the heroic, they have not been changed back

[tribal halo]

Assuming I have all 6 of the required officers, (I don't) I can score 15 points per hostile, and it will only take me 134 to complete the task... What's the point of giving us the tech to replace 65 swarm kills with 7 Freebooter kills, then hitting us with 134+ to do just 1 of the dozens of concurrent events?

[sullen coral]

Scopely, some event feedback for you.

[small rover]

Latinum Rush late/missing again. lol.

Here it comes now. First it was 5 minutes later than usual. Now it's becoming TEN MINUTES PAST THE HOUR

[cinder flame]

Where is LatRush?

[plush axle]

Events ending/starting 10 minutes late. Seems like they are experiencing lag as well.

[rich moss]

LAT RUSH TIMER OFF BY 8 MINTUES - wtf… just lost 120 million mats in points - why is the NSEA event off by ten minutes?! this really messed me up !

i want my points. 120 million g5 mats - @full swan

[tribal halo]

Wait until it is 15 minutes late next week...

[novel mango]

<@&509690795536941056> event not scoring again for SLB second week in a row.

[cinder flame]

Why do we have so many different event reset times? Please fix this

[wanton plaza]

Late start of a fairly competitive weekly event. Hope I am missing the notice that was sent out about this...

[left marlin]

@full swan Hey OH! Thx for all the updates. One update though that many of us are still waiting for is when the next Alliance Tournaments is coming back. The usual schedule has been for it start during the last Wednesday of an Arc. That’s two days from. Players need to plan and prepare. And the Overlords should know by now how much we dislike last minute announcements. So if we could get some news (much) sooner rather than later, be much appreciated, thx 👍🖖

[halcyon goblet]

i have to decide: waves + daily stuff, excessive augment-grind with 💩-crew or arena... I have about 1 hour of playtime...

[neat condor]

There needs to be more of the 40/50/60 systems in augment exile space. Every parked chaser eats up a potential spawned ship, so when everyone crowds into the best systems for loot it chokes the spawn rates to a trickle, making the experience miserable for everyone.

[tribal halo]

Plan and prepare, and expect the unexpected.

[quick pebble]

The crew recomendation for agument grind is 💩 💩 💩 💩
JLP + TNG Bev + Annorax works better

[solid crag]

Hi, I would like to ask again - where is planned to get the other 50%? In the store are packages yes - but with 80 pieces inside - which means the full need. So if I spent my token for the refit I only need further 40 pieces - but where?

[opaque hawk]

My guess is the arc isnt over and they will be available other places in the khan loop/arc

[high aurora]

Are alliance tournaments coming this week <@&509690795536941056> ? We would like to know for our cooldowns

[molten marlin]

no word yet

[tiny saffron]

Mining monday, arenas, and another ridiculous grind, plus all the other loops to do...this Tiger freak is horrible NEVER let him create another arc...

[idle parcel]

I echo the sentiment of many here. After several trips later, I finally completed the Khan challenge after hitting 134 lvl 54 hostiles, and the EE challenge is barely halfway there!

There is no way I'm spending another minute on those ridiculous Augment hostiles!

Just for visual ridiculousness, Ops 63 and 64 are having to hit in 54 space instead of in the 60s. I'm 61 and only got 17 hostiles before I had to repair. I used a lot of Cerritos buffs just to stay a bit longer, only to hit someone's aggregate once.

No one should have to grind 134 reds to complete an event, let alone the 260 for the Heroic.

You are losing players, and fast. Leaving the game is on the table for me as well.

Even if I had the time to grind 260 reds every other day, I don't want to! We have lives outside of this game!

Enough is enough! And on a related note, the last Heroic took 2 days to complete. Now, it's one. I'm not doing it either way.

You're really slapping players in the face by talking QOL then giving us the nonsense.

<@&509690795536941056> your silence on this says everything we need to know - you don't care about player feedback. You may as well delete these channels. You only care about the people who still put money in this game.

No one should be putting money into this game with the attitude of the company's management and staff being like this.

You really think we are a joke to you, don't you?

[tribal halo]

They give us daily goals to clear out 65 swarms, then give us "quality of life" improvements to complete 10 times faster by hunting Freebooters. Then they have an event that requires hunting swarms that the Freebooters don't score in, making the Freebooter shortcut irrelevant once a week. They make Freebooters count for faction goals, but then have a goal to hunt faction hostiles that the Freebooters don't score on, so you have to hunt the faction hostiles anyway. They then release an event that you can complete with 134 hostiles, if you have all 6 of the officers, which all the new players don't have. This adds disproportionately to the grind of the newer players, who are already having to do loops and grinds for specialty ships older players have had time to finish. You can only imagine what they are thinking when they make these choices.

[idle parcel]

And another thing - you keep getting cheaper and cheaper with giving out things.

You give us the wave event with no extra directives, and me being Ops 61, I have to hit lvl 60 solo waves to complete the event. Even with the wave artifact maxed and using exos, I can only complete 3 out of the 5 lvls. And, the epic waves without the newest ship? Forget it. And, that's whether or not using the 100 directives every few days for one epic doesn't cause the really annoying kick out after your ship hits a hostile. Wave failed. Then it's a week wait to request a refund. Meanwhile, the S31 faction sits gathering dust. Smh.

[idle parcel]

It's insane. I'm not sure what Ops you are, but I recently went to 61. I went from needing to kill under 10 Freebooters, to now needing to kill 100 FKR ships if I hit 61s, 50 if I hit 62s, plus 20 in Hazard space, and then the 8 or so Freebooters, as hitting 61 FKRs don't count for the Freebooters. I cut those numbers down a bit in 61 plus space, but it takes a few trips. QOL is a joke anyway, but for 61 and up, it's even worse.

[tribal halo]

Level 44 about to hit 45. Need to hunt 23 L44 faction ships that the Freebooters don't count for. I can hunt much higher, but that's besides the point. My point is: the Freebooters don't count for it after I've unlocked the tech that is supposed to give me a 10:1 improvement. Not to mention I've got about 30 ships I'm working on, 8 of them in the blueprint gathering phase. That doesn't even get into the "Gas is for research, crystal for ships, and ore for buildings" issues where I have a dozen buildings needing G4 uncommon gas to level them up as soon as I hit level 41.

[acoustic token]

134 Hostile is too hard for a daily that I have to kill, this is how many points I have after 1 hour. Systems 40/50 are full of players using bad officers. Even with all officers (no T5), it’s hard. Missing officers? its even worse. Who approved this?!

[jaunty island]

This arc is hot garbage. You guys really doubled down on a horrifically ill conceived mess. Its not fun in the least. In fact it makes me want to log off. Augment space is terrible.

[idle parcel]

Yeah, it's insane what all there is to do. What tech is supposed to improve the odds but doesn't? I can't keep up with it all.

[quick pebble]

also I HATE the one shot auto agument hostiles

[gusty plume]

So yet again we are expected to grind away for literally hours with a "hand picked" sub-optimal crew of officers that realisticly no one under ops 60 has at t5?

Nope. Not doing it. This event and this arc bites.

[tribal halo]

The massive, unsurvivable damage makes sense on a boss, but not on a normal hostile, unless the hostile is of a significantly higher level. Taking you out before battle begins is just straight up BS. Territories that continually do damage to the ship, such as you might find in a nebula, or asteroid field, makes sense to some degree, but the area should still be playable for a reasonable length of time, not 50% of your hull gone in a literal 5 seconds, and 10 seconds is an automatic death with the wrong ship. Just have a gate that prevents the wrong ship from even entering those areas.

[jagged current]

Today’s khan challenge is bad. You want us to use a lousy crew with 3 mitigation officers. Has the event designer event played stfc? I have to punch down even further than usual to complete it.

[jaunty island]

And get to spend 3 hours doing it. Smh

[jagged current]

And still have to then do more since you won’t complete the sms for the exiles today punching down that far.

[quick pebble]

And there is a Solo wave SLB thanks for Grind monday..As if the day isnt busy as it is.

[oblique ore]

This whole Arc is a desaster. Tons of stupid grinding events and the balancing doesn't exist most time. Today we have two events without any kind of balancing. What is the plan behind this? If its chase away players, you do a great job.
Otherwise i would stop with whatever you try to do immediately because its a complete desaster. Sorry i cannot say anything positive but this is the worst month since i play stfc... and this is really long.
You talk about quality of life and keep instead of this players pointless busy for hours...
@full swan
<@&509690795536941056>

[idle parcel]

Oh yeah, don't forget that on top of everything else with these unplayable events, there's arena Monday too, where you have to decide, do I give up a hard to get mining space, or do I play frustrating arena matches that are completely mismatched and lopsided? I'll stick to mining and not doing these crazy and pointless grinds. I only did it today for science and to get my already absolute Q's canon up to needing 2 bps.

[hoary hamlet]

just one ridicolous player keeps joining my squad 100 times in a row. please can you solve this issue. some players are more crazy then expactable...

[rapid quail]

Lol myself and many others don't even do arenas though the loots in the store are really good, the matchups are horribly out of whack. They make brackets but yet somehow I keep finding players 2 to 3 ops above the highest level of my bracket when firing them. #ArenasTrash

[acoustic token]

This game feels like a second job. One daily takes 3 hours (miss rewards or skip everything else). Can’t even do arenas with dailies like this. Now it’s “do both or lose out.” This arc is the worst. I’m tired of checklists. Just let us play and have fun. Respect our time.

[junior fern]

Definitely on the second job thing, espeically with the Khan's Challengers and Aug Ex Hostiles tasks while trying to avoid the HIjacked D7s with their 90% insta kill Destabilized Dilithium ship skill

[rough ravine]

What, you don't like doing 4 hours straight of FRK armadas?!

[median tapir]

I'm starting to get really annoyed by the last minute announcement of the alliance tournament. 3 days it's not enough. Please give us some more wiggle room. That event requires constant monitoring which many of us can't afford because of... life. Let us get ready for it, please.

[kindred aurora]

Due to the assigned crew being trash, the challenger event doesn't even overlap with the EE event with a strong crew and then drop all the way down with the joke crew.

[patent river]

I'm loving the Khan challenge, as it gives folks an idea of how to use officers for crewing. Sure there might be more better ones, but def helps those deficient in crewjitsu.

[gloomy silo]

I've tried to keep up with this arc, but I give up tonight. Too much to do, I'm not willing to spend that much of my time doing it. Problem here is now I've fallen behind, my incentive to play has dropped. Good for my other hobbies, but I doubt scopley were aiming for that this arc. I'm sure I'm not alone either.

[rapid quail]

Hey tone-deaf people of Scopely. Better fix this, no one and I mean no one is grinding Mirror like your trying to have ppl do now. Facts.

[wispy crest]

FOR REAL. I'd also appreciate it if they'd specify begin TIME, and end date/time.

[arctic herald]

Alliance tourneys? Hah. between the time it takes for your events and the constant lag, i don't have the time.

[shut aurora]

Good gawd. Seriously Scopley. This Evolving Enemies SMS has to be in the top three worst designed events I’ve ever done in this game in the nearly 5 years that I’ve been playing

I’ve killed 11 level 60 hostiles and I’m barely halfway to the first milestone. Not even 10% to the total milestone. That means I need to make about 12 to 15 full sweeps of level 60 hostiles to complete the event.

And I’m using a tier 7 G6 ship and using combat and galaxy exos

I guess you really are gearing this more and more towards people who pay for this game

[spark radish]

You can minesweep with Disco if you feel like it, but that doesn't help the stuck ones beyond the system boundaries, unfortunately.

[neon elk]

How are people dropping them outside the boundaries anyway?

[spark radish]

I haven't quite worked that one out, but there are some hanging around in systems with no players in them, so maybe they just bug and don't despawn when the ship they're chasing is gone?

[fading veldt]

Absolutely NOT happy with tonight's Aug hostile events the crew needed for the event is absolutely RUBBISH, not only does 1 event require 133 kills which is 15 runs with this crew, the loot and rep gained is rubbish due to the POOR crew!!!!

[sharp abyss]

Are people actually doing these events? 😂

[tribal halo]

and if you don't have all of them, you have to do even more. For me, it requires 200 augments due to missing some of the "ideal" crew.

[haughty citrus]

Thank you for fixing matchmaking in arena. Copy this thanks to a post it note and it’s yours when you actually get around to it

[pale nimbus]

Stop adding more grinds to this game. I’m about to quit this 💩

[past arch]

I want to understand the point of an arena match of a 60 with a 2.4b ship against a team led by two 56s whose best ships are 900m max. The 2nd strongest player in the 60's team was a 56 with a 1.4b ship.

Like in what universe is that supposed to be fun? There's zero strategy or skill involved in a match up like that.

[quasi swift]

This is ridiculous, how are these match ups even close?? You have one 70 in each that basically has the power of all 3 of our ships combined. I think most people like the area, I know i do and when Match ups are close and we have close well fought battles they're great win or lose, BUT when you get this kind of match ups 8 or 9 out of 10 times and lose 8 or 9 out of 10 they're not fun. I think the highest I've gotten is silver one and I've dropped back down so there's a favor that I bought when silver one that I can't buy anymore because I've dropped back down. I've been trying to get back up for last 3 weeks and just seem to fall farther behind. As usual Scopley takes a good idea and makes it so instead of engaging people more it causes more frustration and want to play the game less and less. I've been doing area from the start and now match ups like these or the 4bil rots out there maxed out it's more and more unplayable. If we unlock a level we shouldn't lose it we should still be able to buy favors that we've already bought. Maybe just have gold vs gold silver vs silver ect. And 70s really have no business vs anyone but other 70s or 69s

[worn galleon]

Let me get ahead of this one. Can we have incursions be Sunday or at least Saturday? Running them during Fridays really hurts the non retierees. Getting home and finding everyone turtled just sucks the life out of it.

[mighty osprey]

do not have enough🥚 🥚, I have to say that they made a mistake and have made events impossible to do, most people enter to have fun and de-stress from their daily work but what happens when I enter the game I see events impossible to do with officials that not even 50% of players have them, that means they are very inefficient in making arcs that meet the satisfaction of the players because even so paying is very complicated.

I would like to know if <@&509690795536941056> @full swan @icy cairn turn to another site to see how the comments are burning because if I am not mistaken 70% of players are upset about the senseless events they have been sending out.

a solution is needed, not that the next arc will bring out another ship or new technology, etc. that is supposed to fix the problem 💩 that have been sent

[vague patio]

<@&509690795536941056> i think scopely been doing a 3 day heads up for alliance tournament and then now its a 1 day heads up so could we get HQ to give us back at least the 3 day heads up? thx

[proven sparrow]

Just becasue im now ops 59 doesn't need to make targets to ridiculous, people shouldnt need to grind so much to complete an event at high levels. ops 50 i would hit 1 maybe 2 hostiles to finish events

[outer oxide]

The events where having specific officers needed to score is a great example of the decrease in officer token sourcing since the daily change earlier in the year. Only established players who have been years into the game can comfortably complete these events. The new away team research to decrease the shards needed is really hard to offset due to the early game lacking these sources.

[limber knot]

Absolutely brutal. Wanna do the Exiles SMS? Hit 600 of them please. Wanna do the Challengers SMS? Hit 340 please. Unless of course you’ve managed to get the epic officer from the very recent arcs to a max tier, then hit 4. 😑

[warm kestrel]

I keep wanting to buy in to Arenas but its not working

[limpid condor]

Undoubtedly one of the worst arcs ever, when the strongest ops70 player needs to grind in the level 40 space with everyone else.

[silver briar]

Why bother? They’re just going to gaslight you about how much great feedback they’re getting from the whales and like what special packs they can release for them to buy. It’s so fake.

[warm kestrel]

Ive lernt not to bother too much with the events when this dude is running them. They're ridiculous. Not getting my $ this month. I aint' buying the ship next month either. Too many of the old arcs are still beggin for my time

[limpid nimbus]

This arc is the solution for the lags...drive away a bunch of people and the server can handle the leftovers...

[austere bay]

Do we get partial unlock packs or other sourcing for the new epic fkr refits? Otherwise whats the point in unlocking half

[hollow lichen]

the point most likely will be half packs in the store later on, praying on your sense of investment of loot in already half of it so more likely to swipe the old creditcard to complete the skin.

[pine pulsar]

Thank you for at last giving me a head up as to which players I can quickly get to fulfill the tournament. However, after doing 54 federation armadas, I will not be willing to go close to that truly, heroic, number again.

[quick hornet]

Don't forget now alliance tournaments are being run in the middle of this insanity. It's like Scopely wants people to quit.

[tacit zephyr]

I started smoking because a doctor told me to. I went to his office and he told me: No sugar, no salt, no alcohol, and 6 cigarettes a day. I thought, well, I don't smoke, but I'll have to be brave. I've been smoking ever since.🤣

[median coral]

Having an armada challenge is fine, but having it only focused on one of the three factions (FKR) at a time made it difficult to find armadas of appropriate power to run for your OPs level as everyone was swarming the same systems. It might be too late to change the next series of armada challenges for these May events, but next time do not limit to just one of the three main factions, make it for all of them. Most people will need to be in 15 armadas to complete the event, multiply that by 6 (being generous for alliance armada seat average) across all active players across a server, that makes it for a very crowded space with everyone fighting over the same limited resource (mostly UC armadas). If the Tolra Armada Challenge scored for Fed, Rom, and Klingon armadas, then that would eliminate (or at the very least severley reduce) system overcrowding trying to complete 1 day event.

[tribal halo]

No no and no! Do NOT make it for faction armadas. We need those directives for Cardasian armadas. Please stop the "faction only armada" events!

[worldly grove]

Has Khan broken ARENA??????
First off, with Scopely having EVERYONE Alpha test their Khan patch, I don't know why Arenas are not running EVERYDAY?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?
98% of my Alliance won't touch Arena because it runs during Lat Rush, don't know why this hasn't been changed?
In anycase, level 47 player, don't have Kohn-MA in Bajorian faction yet, so don't have the Crit buff/defense.
I started Arenas with the idea to Loose to Win, would loose matches just to get enough for full Daily pulls on Terran faction, satisfied without not being able to kill anyone I resorted to being a good Armada builder, however that has all seemed to change. Sadly I can't post FACTS, as I don't know who has Khan and who doesn't (I can't justify spending $100 for something that runs once a week for a few hours), gameplay changed DRASTICALLY and all's I can say is, it was NOT fun...

[solar citrus]

This is just too much Scopley. I know that hitting the traders will speed things up but when you have hundreds of players trying to do the same thing on a 45 min respawn rate screen time becomes off the chart. I've spent hours grinding and that's not what I expect from a fun video game. Thank you for going backwards on our screen time I'm done, you sucked the fun out of this arc with how much time we need to play now.

[robust bronze]

Another bunch of events (latest Khan’s challengers and Evolving Enemies) that take FOREVER to complete. This sucks!

[quick hornet]

It only took me about 20 minutes to do at Ops 59 using a few different crews for testing.

[robust bronze]

I’ve been at it for almost 2 hours now… thankfully I have the time today, but this is no fun whatsoever

[solar citrus]

Clearly you lucked out hitting some lvl 60 traders, and your max points are 20 mil lower than mine.

[quick hornet]

I didn't hit any traders. These are two of the crews I tried. I was just testing on the 56s.

[ashen notch]

Better yet, why not just make tournament the in-between arc event instead of the outdated COW and Faction Hunt?

[vague patio]

faction hunt and cow is nice tho, sourcing for ultra recruits and armada directives respectively

[thin void]

The khan's challenge events are grindy as heck, to do a massive Gorn grind while also doing a big Augment exile grind on the same day is not cool

[jagged current]

Oh look, another stupid high sms for khan. 171 gorn. Did you guys fail maths?

[spare island]

It's obvious scopely hates their players with this arc

[untold zephyr]

Pls run these in the weekend like last month

[jaunty ingot]

Why has the score requirement for Khans Challenges increased by 400 points but scoring remains the same?

[oblique ore]

And the next insane event day. Need about 350 hostiles for both. Sorry without me !

[acoustic token]

This game isn't fun anymore and you want more than half your user base that doesn't have any officers t5 and you want us to kill 172 hostile... You're going to have no one playing this game😪

[thin void]

It's worse than that, because most of the officers nobody has T5

[hollow lichen]

75 hostiles needed here, that's double what an event should be needing at the absolute max....

[terse lodge]

These events are out of touch. literally HUNDREDS of hostiles that doesn't count for anything else exept the one grind.

[hazy swallow]

Relativity ship upgrades are not scoring

[torn jewel]

Scopely, so much for that 2k limit being something most people come nowhere close to. The way these scoring metrics are heading, you'll at some point need to kill over 2k hostiles to complete all the events
What a joke

[ocean crypt]

khans kirk's gorn crew the worst ever crew for gorn, hull failing badly, who thought up this collaberation of crew would work needs shot

[shadow trellis]

Wonder what the percentage of events skipped by players this arc

[vocal violet]

Thanks for the artifact event!

[left hare]

Confirm that Static capacitor Relativity material is not scoring on Ship Upgrade slb.

[buoyant cape]

Also, no level bands on scoring means that every low level system is crowded with no chance of anyone getting this done

Pentasto is an absolute nightmare right now

[shut aurora]

And the horrid mess of an arc continues

A whopping 17pts per gorn hostile for Khan challenge. Who has any of these officers maxed unless they dropped $$$??

141 hostiles for just this one SMS. Good luck on Evolving Enemies one after that.

[solar citrus]

You just don't get it Scopely. Ops 60 and I need to kill 172 Gorn and 125 New Augment hostiles to complete these unless I score some traders for the Augment one. I don't have that much screentime available in my day, not to mention my daily's and other events that need to be done. I have a life outside of this game and you are just sucking the fun out of playing with all these new grinds.

[magic steeple]

i'd love to have only 172 to kill. If you are missing any officers its alot more. i'm looking at 342......... at 15 or so before repairs. completely skipped the armada one, no way was i doing 80+ armadas for that one

[thick owl]

And the Event Stupidity gets worse. I don't have either of the SNW Kirks and NONE of the required officers are anywhere near T5. That means slogging through 300 Gorn. These events day after day for over a week are BEYOND ridiculous. Whoever came up with this event series needs to be subjected to an endless stream of Echo Pappa drones on a .01 second respawn timer.

[median coral]

The main is issue the event was limited to one of the three main factions and not across all three. Adding in Cardissian armadas as a 4th scoring option is good, making it the only scoring option is bad.

[halcyon goblet]

another day and more massiv grind events?

[lyric quiver]

Khan’s challenger sms is just getting more ridiculous as each day passes, I have no maxed officers so need 172 kills to complete the sms, there should be more points for crew if t2, t3 etc, it shouldn’t just be min points unless max officer, its even worse for folks who don’t have all 6 let alone none maxed. The faction store is supposed to be grindy not these daily events. If you’re going to do this there should be an easy sms that rewards no loot and just advances the meta, then at least people can decide if the sms loot is worth the crazy grind to complete

[worldly tiger]

"Here I have an idea, it's a Gorn hunt." "Okay..." "And you need to use certain crew." "Alright." "One of them is SNW Chapel..." "Well, that just makes sense." "...belowdecks." "What?"

[quaint vessel]

If you make an event where you need maxed officers to do that event then put those officers in the transporter store.

[inner heart]

I'll need 400 🙄

[hot tulip]

This is more than likely the worst arc I’ve done in the 6 years I’ve been playing.
Every event is just grinding.
Hey you’ve just had to grind 70 of this, how about you grind 100 of this then another 100 for the meta… 🤦‍♂️

[tawny falcon]

Thanks for the challenge, Scopley. Though all this clicking will make opening my wallet a bit difficult. So I hope you understand.

[shut aurora]

Or scale up the points based on level!

[ocean crypt]

how is a grind of just under 200 gorn a quality of life grind

[blazing goblet]

How does an ops 40 without maxed SNW crew members do this without an Evicerator? You know, since this crew makeup is not actually helpful for killing gorn with a maxed G3 Epic.

[rapid quail]

600 pts on Battlepass short. Wow Scopely. 😂

[molten marlin]

have you restarted your game? sounds like lag not calculating a milestone

[wet grove]

And another event today that I will be skipping… killing more than 1000 gorn again. Seriously?
This is not even embarassing anymore, I just feel sad for whoever designed and approved this rubbish

[shut aurora]

Same 600pt shortfall for me too

[mighty jolt]

@rapid quail but hey were 600 point short and they just posted a new battle pass pack to buy 😂😂

[storm mica]

Hands down scopely, this is the worst arc you ever made. Its only about numb grinding. Or spending.

To run two metas with extensive grinds to kill several hundred hostiles. Thats so far off your player base its ridiculous.

People already lose interest in the game because its, well, just too much. Every arc new ships, new officers, new primes, new grinds, etc.

Its just overwhelming and hard to keep up as a casual player.

Yeah sure you want to squeeze the whales for money. But youre basically just driving people out of the game.

[thin void]

This is what this arc feels like after all the feedback.

Players: STOP GIVING ME SO MUCH GRIND. THIS IS INSANE.

Scopely: We've heard your complaints about grinding. Here's another event with more grinding and you have to use specific officers. Grind reductions is only available for whales who have these officers maxed out.

Players: ARGH....rage quits

[lyric quiver]

This just encourages script kitties

[alpine niche]

Still have not received anything for the 5 pillars for my D'vor.

[molten marlin]

have you submitted a new ticket since the recent auto closure/

[neat condor]

three changes that should be made to these Challenger events that should still be in line with their intent, even just doing one of them would be huge imo:

1. baseline score for hostiles, based on their level, that the crew adds on to, so that you can hit higher with a better crew if you are missing the point scoring crew
2. more graduated point scoring, so that rank 2 officers score more than rank 1, and so on. Still rewards having the crew at highest rank, but doesn't ignore the ranks inbetween 1 and 5
3. milestones based on ops level. Having max ranks of officers is more likely as you ops up, from better sourcing and just playing longer, and expecting lower level ops to have similar officer ranks to high ops is just bad design.

[delicate pebble]

yea, i'm killing 240 gorn hostiles for this event today, and i like to think i'm pretty well staffed for officers (though none of these are tier 5). I really like the concept for this kind of mission, but the numbers needed to get the goal are pretty grindy. I am talking about Kirk horoic gorn challenge.

[tribal halo]

The problem is: Cardasian armadas are systematically excluded. Let people run ANY armadas. Don't give them work assignments that run contrary to their best interests.

[plush axle]

These high-grind events would be somewhat doable if we had a working Kir'Shara!

[copper oak]

i only say: 300+90. ~400 hostiles a day is just... => 🤮 <=
you are currently doing EVERYTHING to scare away your aspiring paying customers.
most people CANT do this, because they have a life outside of scopixels.
I've been playing for a while, but it's never been as ridiculous as it is now.

almost every player thinks that the measure is too full and many won't watch this terror for much longer.
always remember: the players keep your store running and pay for the butter on your bread!

[rich moss]

not all higher ops have everything - nor at t5 - my federation officers are mostly t2 because i use the credits for ships

[gusty plume]

So not only is Scopely NOT LISTENING TO THE PLAYERS about these Khan Challenges Having too high of a points requirements. THEY WENT AND UPPED THEM EVEN HIGHER.

Hell NO! Not doing it... Quite frankly may just drop this game soon.

[fluid gust]

only 240?
i have an alliance member complaining of needing 600, using what for him is an inefficient crew.

[delicate pebble]

Like I said, i consider myself pretty well crewed. I was lucky i had enough depot token to unlock SNW James Kirk, or I'd really be up a creek.

[frigid patrol]

Scopely has lied since the beginning. This insanity is just abusing players love for Star Trek. You should all be fired for this latest run of incompetence.

[gloomy silo]

For a mobile game, the time sink expected is crazy. This arc has been super grindy and I can't figure out what they are trying to achieve. For people like me who work, I have maybe 5 hours tops after work before I need to go to bed ready for work tomorrow, do they really expect me to spend half of my free time grinding gorn and augment hostiles for minimal rewards?! They must be crazy 🤪 people have lives too!! Easy skip tonight, no game time for me.

[rigid crown]

🤯 Brainmelting… an average player has to grind a couple of hundred Gorn —> use a multiplier of your choice to kill even more Augments —> icing on this cake is to ideally kill a thousand MU hostiles for the FKR rep SLB. I‘m missing a simultaneous Fatu-Krey SLB/ALB so that even the most passionate player loses interest 😡

Please TEST feasibility of your events before releasing, unless you want to actively provoke an exodus of a lot of casual players. As admiral in a very active alliance, one of my main tasks since this arc is to motivate players to stay in the game and not to quit 😞

[tribal halo]

Sleep deprivation, reduced productivity in real life, constant location tracking, etc. They don't expect you to spend 1/2 your free time, they expect you to spend every waking moment on the game.

[atomic fossil]

this officer Tier 5 requirement is absolutely 💩. what happened to reducing the grinds?? 800! i have to hit EIGHT HUNDRED.

[mint basin]

170 gorn kills required because even though I can field all of the officers, none are t5. 171 kills is a boring and tedious grind, Scopely.

[fluid gust]

oh no..., are we going to get these same grindy events during alliance tournaments?
those already take up so much time for many players, throwing them together with khan's challenges and evolving enemies grinds is going to be a nightmare!

[kindred aurora]

Today's bonus fun for Challengers is that, at Ops 42, it's not even possible to field all three below deck officers on the Eviscertor so I'm forced to use another ship or take longer to complete.

[copper oak]

i am fresh g4 player (ops 41) and therefore "only" have an 18M ent.
300 gorn means at least 10 (!) hulls and approaches.
for one event. that's complete madness.

[idle parcel]

This is how Scopely they don't listen to players and don't give a 💩 without saying it. 5 grinds in one day? Seriously? I'm already not doing the EE one, and the challenge one was ridiculous as it was, due to horrible officer sourcing. They couldn't even give us a higher Gorn reds bonus.

Someone suggested that they are trying to get people to quit so they can merge servers.

I believe it.

Or, they are trying to purposely tank the entire game, which I also believe, as they don't even fix basic things. Maintenance almost every day, and nothing is fixed or improved.

[sand lintel]

when did anyone ever say that scopely wasnt completely mad? im pretty sure that this entire discord is a testament to how completely mad they are

[thick owl]

What stupidity will there be for the Sisko Armada event? Kill Cardassian Armadas which take the FKR directives that players burned for the previous event? Dominion Solo's where players may not be close to having directives due to using them for Tournament Tasks? Will Scopely have the person responsible for this Warp Core Breach explain what they were smoking when they designed these challenges?

[tribal halo]

You sweet summer child.

[copper oak]

if they really want mergers, the first thing they should do is prevent fresh player additions to a grown g6 server - because then it will never work.

[idle parcel]

It wasn't my idea, but when has Scopely ever thought things through? This current nonsense shows it.

G6 players have it the worse, as mining is scarce on my server.

But, if they cut a good portion of the playing base, then it will be less work for them.

Idk.

None of this makes any sense.

Their lack of listening to players says a lot.

[warped knoll]

For every red that I had (will have) to kill for those stupid events ...
I hope that the one responsible for those, will step BAREFOOT into really tiny Lego pieces 😈

[versed grotto]

While the crewing suggestion for the gorn event was good, who in their right minds uses pelia on the bridge and chapel below for gorn... should be the other eay around, I had to do 3 runs for the same cargo I get out of 1 run during ticket event.

[scenic smelt]

Between 200 and 300 hostiles to grind for a SMS with standard rewards.. Thanks but no thanks. (Augment hostile engagement)

[tribal halo]

Early on, to score in events meant upgrading buildings and doing research, and the power added was used to determine how much you scored. Now it is based upon how much you use in terms of resources. The efficiency buffs do not help with this, they reduce how much you spend to progress, where they were helpful under the old system. Can the game go back to rewarding productivity instead of consumption?

[atomic fossil]

why are you responding to me? especially with a condescending name?

[tribal halo]

Because you still think Scopely is going to reduce the grind.

[atomic fossil]

and how did you determine that, exactly?

[tribal halo]

By reading your comment.

[glacial vessel]

I have players on my team threatening to quit if events keep looking like this Khans Challengers one. The kill count is WAY too high.

[midnight atlas]

Swap to a ship with a more fully unlocked below decks, populate neelix etc in the overflow slots, swap back to eviscerator. Works for all ages to keep neelix out of the way!

[atomic fossil]

yeah, im clearly the only one here... this is a feedback to scopley channel.

[full swan]

https://tenor.com/view/david-rose-schitts-creek-my-god-gif-17870241

[sonic robin]

Nothing quite like needing to kill 200+ reds for 1 event, Tiger really outdid himself this arc...

[halcyon goblet]

For Tech Tuesdays Trials & Tribblations SMS you do not have to spend any bells, just doing all the other grind event will get this done as well...

[rough ravine]

Actually, the bigger blocks can be more painful. Trust me, I know. 😬

And for todays (and yesterday's) events, since I don't have WOK McCOy unlocked yet, it's 223 hostiles at 9 points a kill. Grr....

[thick owl]

@full swan , the reason that players are furious is that Scopely promises Quality over Quantity and reducing the endless grinds. This entire Arc has been the exact opposite of what we've been promised. The Khan Challenge events are a prime example. These are essentially Heroic Events that only G6 Whales can reasonably do efficiently. There should have been a non Heroic version with goals 1/4-1/3 of what's needed to do the events. In my case, as an ops 56 limited budget player I don't have either SNW Kirk and none of the required crew is anywhere near max tier. That's 300 kills on top of today's EE grind (which I'm already boycotting because of how stupidly hard it is). Thank God only one of my 4 accounts is ops 40+. Imagine having this grind on 4 accounts EVERY day.

[vagrant vale]

Annoyed that the event grinds cap you at 50% of the refit shards..

[tacit zephyr]

That means someone has mistaken your ship for a cookie and has decided to take a few bites to see if it is cinnamon 🤣

[sharp thistle]

Considering everyone is complaining about the grind this entire arc, all scopely seem to do is add more and more grind. Absolutely insane that scopely think this is the way to go, increasing the grind so much it drives people away from the game

[tiny saffron]

https://tenor.com/view/tony-the-tiger-shrug-gif-11038273

[vagrant topaz]

Those currency upgrade requirements are absolutely ridiculous... and I can't even imagine the costs to go to rank four or five. 73 days to earn that currency through priority one away missions 🤣 lower these currency requirements by about a factor of five, and then they will be acceptable.

[errant chasm]

The compensation gift for autoconverting temporal disruptors is ridiculous. I had 100k+ autoconverted and got 3200 in a gift.

[hazy swallow]

Are relativity ship upgrades scoring yet? It's been 5 hours with no acknowledgement or announcement.

[molten marlin]

It's being looked into

[gusty plume]

Whoever came up with these "Khan's Challenge" events needs to be fired. THEY ARE TERRIBLE.

[fading veldt]

Come on surely you mean the people who picked the crews for example Neelix does Nada as Gorn ship is an interceptor not a battleship or am I missing something?

[low remnant]

These Khan's Challenge's events are terrible. Between the lack of scaling by level, the lack of concern for making sure crews are actually good, and the lack of crew sourcing for some of these requried ones. Just a terrible event series. Fire the people who made these decisiosn.

[lean plank]

If these Khan's champions missions become the new standard I'm done with stfc. Flat out.

[rapid quail]

Insane they did this. And to top it off they also require faction creds. Scopely is a theif.

[sharp abyss]

Is anyone actually doing these events? Ridiculous. 😆💩😆💩

[dire patio]

Is that all you can do, reply with some ridiculous Gif?

[worn galleon]

Can we raise the hostile cap? 170 plus gorn on top of probes aug,daily and farming is a bit much

[full swan]

Dude. I can reply with words. But he said "step BAREFOOT into really tiny Lego pieces".

Like sometimes words can't convey what only gifs can.

little feedback, sigma speed up sourcing is horrendous for piatas. my level 54 alt can spam them as long as he has starts, but i can only do 1 a week cause no speed ups

[signal wraith]

Nothing like being forced to hit 173 Gorn with a ridiculous crew PLUS 125 nu-Augs cause of the latest STUPID grind events.

How bad are you as a company when you make an arc about WoK the absolute worst dumpster fire possible.

[late orchid]

So now we have to kill something like 180 for a single gorn event? You guys really need to think before you arbitrarily set numbers for events...

[late dew]

trying to force people into buying the officer depot tokens to max their officers

[gusty robin]

At 14 points a hostile kill, today challenge SMS will take 172 hostile kills to complete, this isn't healthy...

[astral tiger]

Is Scopely about to go bankrupt? Because I see no other reason to create such blood-sucking events aimed at squeezing any single penny from players for ridicolous and BAD content.

[chilly cedar]

Did dev even bother to calculate the grind needed? Just 14 points per hit with those officers and needing 2400 pts to finish. You just want everyone to buy packs to upgrade those officers, isn't it? Greed greed greed 😡 Calling an event heroic doesn't cut it. It's dumb.

[opaque hawk]

umm, so i just went to claim my bp event for the day, game froze, and when i logged back in, i have no battlepass anymore....oops, meant to put in bugs,
ok, second relog brought it back, but still, fix yo game

[worn patrol]

Only getting 8 points a kill for the khan challenge and I need 2400 points this is ridiculous

[idle parcel]

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag.

[quartz river]

only 299 more to go! you can do it!!! 🤣

[vagrant vale]

The events have ruined this arc. Ie Gorn event today is just flat out kill 300 hostiles with one ship only, on top of the very grindy augment events. Then rewards are capped at 50% of an unlock. Add to grind the regular maintenances, game instability and lag... Definitely persuaded not to spend in this game for the foreseeable future

[tranquil hearth]

@astral tiger @vagrant vale @quartz river @quartz river

[raw bramble]

219 Gorn kills ontop of the 300+ EE kills needed to do these events. No thanks, ill take the comp chest now. (it will never arrive cause they see no issue with the events)

[umbral halo]

174 hostile gorn to finish the event!!! they are really crazy! just opening the chests with the game that bugs it took me 1h30 and I haven't done anything yet!!🤬🥵

[sinful heart]

I am pretty sure your Nova Stuff still procs even if you are not on a battleship. I tend to run all three (maxed) so I am popping morale/Hullbreach/burn with every hit and I “think” they work. At this point I am not sure anything works like it is supposed too

[molten marlin]

it does

[fading veldt]

I used Neelix all night on Gorn ship and for the last 400pts this morning he didn't activate however he did when I tested him on a Battleship mine seems to only work on a Battleship so I thought he needed to be on one regardless of him working or not didn't affect the fact I needed to kill 170+ hostiles in Gorn space and this morning I have moved on to Aug and I'm not awake yet to do the math on how many I need I just know I'm super busy today and I will struggle to get it done

[sinful heart]

Oh this whole arc is a hot mess of stupid and tone deaf as far as the players “time” is concerned. But then again, that doesn’t surprise me one bit. Ain’t a dang one of them a player. They just see metrics and dollar signs. 🙄

[fading veldt]

Yes and I almost laughed when I watched the video and they said they had someone try these at Ops 40

[sinful heart]

My thoughts on that lol

[jade smelt]

Excellent failure rate.

[solid crag]

so still no answer where i can get the remaining 50% or did i miss it?

[terse lodge]

the officer idea isn't bad. but the levels are totally wrong. or if it was "any hostile" so sure less optimum crew but can be part of your daily grind. <@&509690795536941056> this was just the wrong choice on both directions.

[terse lodge]

a maxed Dev lvl 40 account. sure lol

[proven sparrow]

someone in my alliance only had 3/6 of the officers unlocked for yesterdays Khan Challenge and was scoring only 4 points per kill. Naturally he gave up on the event since spending the whole day killing 500 hostiles to finish the event was not practical

[viral steeple]

regarding the current event series: This cycle is much too labor intensive. especially when 2 different events require extensive grinds in different systems. It seems that those who are high enough to have all the officers maxed out may have an easier time, but an event that gives me 7 points per hit and requires me to acquire 2400 points is ridiculous especially when coupled with other events as well!

[torn jewel]

Tbf, Scopely did say they wanted people to be playing less
Having players quit over burn out, or refusing to do events at all due to the amount of time required is indeed one way to accomplish that goal

So, good job I guess

[deep mulch]

Hi i really am confused about the current ark WOK. i dont think its very clear to me what to do. I just completed Khan challenge the Gorn one. First of all, i have all the officers and all are over level 5. It outlines clearly that level 5 crew are rewarded by highest of points. I have only received 13 plus one point. so its taken me hours to complete the event. I hate the scoring I hate the limit on points. If people put in the time to play we should be rewarded by the points. NOT happy with the ridiculous rewards either. nothing is affordable. one Shard for 4000K? another terrible event i am not enjoying.

[queen kindle]

Rank 5 here means T5, ie. maxed.

[deep mulch]

oh there that was not clear to me also. not a single person in my alliance could help me

[dark horizon]

So these 2 events require farming > 150 gorn hostiles (cause not a lot of people have all the officers at R5). Then to finish it off go and farm > 100 Exiles .... Like people have no job or life and can spend their whole day farming for the 2 events that can be done without paying ?

[lucid idol]

AT store is facing horrendous lag, taking a full minute to load anything after I pull something

[plush axle]

AT store lagging and still not showing the correct currency.

[naive estuary]

Dear Scopley, since you did solo directives into the wave defence pass, it's impossible to get 3000 directives... so this is senseless

[serene blaze]

My AT task list is flashing all the time. It's hard to read and nearly impossible to click on.

[neon elk]

If that's a 10k point task, there's a pack for that 😉

[dark horizon]

so for AT you went from tasks list not refreshing to it refreshing 3 times in a row ? thats an improvement, but may cause some issues for people that are sensitive to that 🙂

[surreal crypt]

@full swan I was skeptical about your claim that the refresh issue would be solved with this running of the Alliance Tournament but it does seem at the moment to be working. Though I will agree with the previous comment that it could be a lot smoother of an interaction. I go in the task list and it is constantly refreshing and it was difficult to pick out a task. However, as you can see, my refresh did work without me having to wait for minutes or leave ans come back. I also got a 10k task I could complete.

[dark horizon]

That actually is smoother than how it looks on the PC client. Let me try to get a screen grab.

[austere bay]

There are some 10k tasks without a single pack (multiple yes) for them

[plush axle]

When refreshing AT tasks there is no need to refresh the AT Store. This is very annoying.

[naive estuary]

in former times it was enuogh to get the elite WD and to be patient, at the end it worked out exactly. but with the new solo directives it's impossible

[dark horizon]

thats how refreshing a task works on the PC client, fun times, waiting to see if i get a seizure

[vivid delta]

Refreshing tasks in the AT are pretty good on iOS. Nice piece of work and a refreshing bonus.

[elder fern]

Only top two alliances get promoted now?????

[short pier]

Did you geniuses forget that Odo isn't sourceable???

[icy marsh]

the alliance tourney store really needs a refresh. i have tons of credits and nothing interesting to buy. the only thing of good value for me is the valor particles but 5 per run is like nothing. really need more stuff added, there's so many more prime particles, lower the limits on valor, add in gs31 bp, add some more FT/CT shards, refits...etc etc

[indigo oracle]

This is insane @full swan
Forget my Rant, i thought it were the New augement hosziles needed... but it s just freeboater

Which one is it? 😂

[sudden prairie]

I appreciate being forced to use Changeling Kira: The most overrated ineffective officer in the game.

[echo cedar]

Max kira or Miles are not counting somehow

[fading veldt]

F2P can't do this one as we spent all our directives doing the other one and finding that we didn't complete that as the scoring was broken no compo chest no were sorry nothing!!!

[pseudo orbit]

Once again, rng on the task rerolls is an epic fail

[viral steeple]

Once again new day, same deal getting 20 points per kling mada I would need 90 madas to finish and without speeding up it would take 22.5 hours to complete????????

[jaunty ingot]

Correction, F2P cannot do this one if you listened to Scopely and rushed your ops, otherwise your have loads of spare directives

[languid marlin]

@full swan Sisko's Armada Challenge - SMS is not scoring correctly. I have 2 max bridge officers and it is only giving me 180 points per kill, not the 200 minimum that the scoring metric says.

[vale musk]

Some small G4 Players of our Alliance have to do 45 Armadas. Thats complete "Gaga", as we say in Germany.

[silent sun]

either miles or kira isn't scoring

[strange tusk]

60 Armadas, i love it🤮

[fading veldt]

I have absolutely NOT rushed my OPS my base turned OPS 48 this week I've been playing for that many years I can't remember when I started, EVERY building is maxed and All research available F2P is done before I move up I have a base power of 125mil I started 17 Armadas the other day for the other event to find that they weren't scoring So NO mate not loads and don't forget you need to do Armadas weekly for Starbase parts and research!!

[spark thistle]

@near saddle rank 5 obrian, rank 5 changling kira, below rank 5 sisko, ent troi, odo, veal... scoring 180 and should be 280

[fading veldt]

I have absolutely NOT rushed my OPS my base turned OPS 48 this week I've been playing for that many years I can't remember when I started, EVERY building is maxed and All research available F2P is done before I move up I have a base power of 125mil I started 17 Armadas the other day for the other event to find that they weren't scoring So NO mate not loads and don't forget you need to do Armadas weekly for Starbase parts and research!!

[fair thistle]

Is there any chance a khan pvp event will be coming out again before that meta ends? Looks like I've missed one and seems like there's still time for another.

[fading veldt]

It's on now

[novel mango]

This event just says hostile but is not scoring.

[languid frigate]

If you are going to do an event that is specialized with specific crew get it right. Picture mirror Kira description states changeling Kira and regular Kira scores. We are spend directives to get these challenges completed. Don’t get me wrong I really like these challenge events. But directives do not grow on trees and this event has multiple armada events. Your oops were so sorry chest does not compensate the true loss. Nor have you guys acknowledged the fact there is an issue even if you can’t fix it.

[fading veldt]

We didn't get a oops were sorry chest the other day when scoring when down for hours

[left marlin]

@full swan just wanted to say thx for the instant refresh of the Alliance Tournaments Tasks list when you re-roll. So much mess time spent staring at the Task list 👍🖖

[rapid quail]

So maxed miles, maxed Kira and all 3 Bdo officers should net me 290 pts per armada, but Scopely math only giving me 150 of that. <@&509690795536941056>

[languid frigate]

At this point they have to understand that oops we’re sorry chests really mean nothing. A sorry that is not truly acknowledged and fixed is empty. Not acknowledging an issue so that others have to spread the word over and over again for them is not right. We messed up we don’t know what the issue is here is what is scoring. Anything to acknowledge and get the information out there before tons of directives are wasted. I’m tired of the sorry chests that do not compensate true losses. I’m tired of empty fake sorry like a sarcastic teenager. I’m tired of working hard to retain players for them when I want to quit myself.

[opaque hawk]

refreshes are a lot smoother, but its also causing screen to scroll to top a whole lot more, on pc no issue, but on my phone, i wasnt able to keep my screen at the bottom of the task list long enough to click a task

[opaque hawk]

you got changling kira and not actual kira? also not sure what combo adds up to 290, considering the bds are 30/30/10 if not maxed, and not maxed sisko is only 10, so, 80 would be the biggest partial hundo you could come up with if miles and kira are max.

[queen kindle]

The bugged scoring from earlier has been fixed. CK will now work.

[acoustic zephyr]

<@&509690795536941056> please pass on my positive feedback regarding this run of alliance tournaments to scopely.

• Refreshing of tasks is the best I’ve seen since you started tournaments. We literally went from the worst refresh performance last tournament to the best now. Many thanks and appreciation for whatever you did to get it as good as it is now. Historically it would require many app restarts to see refreshed tasks. This time so far apart from a second of it scrolling up requiring me to scroll back down I see the refreshed task. It’s literally night and day difference.

• buying items from tournament store also apart from a strange scrolling of the store items refreshes quite quick. Historically it would bug out for me when I buy an item and just go blank forcing me to switch to another tab or app restart to purchase more. Not this time much appreciated!

[fading veldt]

Someone is having fun with the artwork

[full swan]

So much better but some room for improvement?

[surreal crypt]

Exactly

[fluid gust]

sisko's armada challenge, but sisko's scoring is one of the lowest.
instead, 2 officers with little to no sourcing for G4 players cover 60% of the scoring...
nobody has directives for 45 armadas, or should i say close to 200 armadas in the span of a week!

6 hour grinds are bad enough, but today it's an almost 12 hour grind locked behind a limited currency.

and that's assuming you have the complete DS9 armada crew.

[shell vortex]

Anyone else having fleet Commander daily not scoring? Restarted and did all the normal stuff, is not scoring

[gloomy rain]

Add to that that some of the required officers also don't score for the event even if you have them.

[violet estuary]

This is the first arc since I've began playing that i have made the conscious choice to NOT complete events. These grinds are disgustingly ridiculous in their scope for rewards that just are not worth it. I don't think I've ever seen a game developer more abusive of its player base than this.

[sharp thistle]

You sure it's on? I don't see it, unless it's been put somewhere else

Yup seen it 😄 Expected it to be in a different spot 🤣

[lilac oracle]

I finished my event today killing 1 hostile

[modest vault]

If (and if I had my choice there wouldn’t be) there will be future events that require a specific crew, is it possible to have it be a bonus crew preset? I don’t think this fixes most of the pain but it would at least save me digging around for a crew I don’t typically use, and maybe even avoid the problem of the wrong officer being listed

[opaque hawk]

I would say much better, but is it possible to make the store not do the scroll up, it feels like it happens when someone refreshes a task. I've had to put in tickets a few times for it buying the wrong thing cause it scrolled right when I clicked to buy

[vagrant topaz]

Did you try freebooters?

[celest tusk]

And yes ...... as mentioned above, we are all VERY happy that scrolling through the store is now easier. 🤥

[quick hornet]

Could you please revisit what mobs counts for the Threat Reduction BP? I don't need to kill swarms or probes at Ops 59. But I still need to farm gorn.

[idle parcel]

I agree with you completely. I'm so tired of those excessive grinds, on top of the daily grinds.

[worn galleon]

I just realized this is a secret crossover with ST:4 we're trying to get all the whales to go extinct!

[unborn linden]

How about giving under lvl 20 a chance in Alliance Tournaments, being ops 20, I cannot help the Alliance. Frustrating 🤨

Tired of doing hostiles

[rugged oriole]

How about you just level up instead and stop expecting the full game experience straight away?

[vague patio]

[obsidian ether]

Khan Depot free daily gift is a scam. I open every day since it started and every day I get 1.5k. Not even 4k, or any other even once, and there are 4 options. Pretty good way to make people disapointed, congratulations.

[unborn linden]

@rugged oriole how about you just button up

[fading veldt]

Arc feed back the event are geared too much towards the _££ player this Arc not a great balance with the Armada events, I do like the Bulk refine and claim button and have not had any issues with that. My claim all in Archives still doesn't work correctly though, the arena is much better and the last 2 weeks I've taken part in it only 1 battle each time as the wait to take part is frustrating but it's very much improved. The Alliance is refresh is 100% better the jumpy screen id irritating but id definitely an improvement. I would like to see a switch task token that you could buy in alliance store with tournament credits for those who select a task but can't complete for whatever reason for example a form task but find that are struggling with the grind so instead of loosing the opportunity of task points they could switch. I know a lot of coding I'm that one it's just an idea.

In the bulk refinement for buildings even though that's good for the player it's not great for the player helps so hopefully you can look into that one and address it.

I do also think that events need updating for example Texas, kremin, xindi, and all the other Solo, and non solo Armadas should could in weekend events where you spend graded mats and Armada tokens.

I have liked event store the currency sourcing could have been better but I do like the event store this arc

[opaque jacinth]

Tournaments completion (3/day, everyday of the event) requires player to not work, not study, no contact with family or friends. For example, I've chosen (the most available to accomplish to me) task on defeating 1500 gorns and spent 7 hours non-stop grind yesterday reaching only 424 so far. From now on I'll boycott this crazy event and will not participate unless devs will make it much easier to complete 🤬

[marble parrot]

..just looking at the latest video talking about the 2x franklins being added to the archives.

Is that gona be stich up like the dvor?

I scrapeed mine for the feesha. Same for the franklin.

And Why! Do i need modulators when frankinA is maxed?

🙄🙄🙄

[small egret]

Help! On the events tab I can’t scroll right! It returns me to the battle pass on the left.

[solid tangle]

Is there no more Epic Dominion task in the tournaments? And where are the 8k tasks?

[opaque hawk]

i did both the epic dom and epic borg directive task at lunch yesterday, so they do still exist

[jolly condor]

Why do get defaulted into Gc now ? That was not going on prior to this event, why do the notifications not clear. It got worse in this event. Why do we have a huge cluster of similar tabs in the event and so much extra crap.

[queen kindle]

Chat defaulting is a bug. They're working on it.

[arctic fog]

is the task list jumping an acknowledged bug too?

[dark horizon]

I have refreshed the 10k tasks 57 times and not even once did the one to acquire epic borg directives showed up. There is no chance the tasks are random, I have had the same 3-4 taks (syndicate xp / protomatter or fusion rods) come back for the majority of the time

[opaque hawk]

Ok, this scrolling every .5 seconds has got to stop. Just grabbed an 8k task that is literally impossible to complete because of it. Spend 12k uncommon exborg. Even if I do the trade down and every daily spend for exborg that's only like 6k

[versed grotto]

Because they aren't going to make the f2p ones easy to get. They want people spending money on it, hence a whole store section dedicated to Alliance Tornament

[dark horizon]

Yes, very annoying, I usually wait till the list stops having seizures before clicking on anything.

[exotic iris]

what if it doesn'ty stop?

[small rover]

Hello..... Event rewards for an event store that's no longer open.... 🤣

[obsidian ore]

Hopefully they bring that store back now, I have a bunch of unspent currency

[solar citrus]

Seriously, ANOTHER AWAY TEAMS EVENT 😵‍💫 Considering how anticipated this arc was and everyone looking forward to it I have to say in all the years I've been playing this is the most I have ever posted negative comments about this game.

[halcyon goblet]

not the crew setup i would pick...

[honest plume]

Kim and Rutherford are beyond dumb choices for fighting Xindi

[river fossil]

Augment rep slb is not scoring

[thin void]

lol a Xindi hostile hunt requiring Rutherford BD? Did the event designer forget that Xindi ignore shields?

[thorn belfry]

might be a meme thing

[sharp hinge]

Khan's Acclaim SLB is broken! You cannot score reputation

[small rover]

Chaos Attack SLB is gone. RIPperoni. lol

[static patio]

Every 5 minutes, this keeps popping up as a winner...and im not winning...

[spare island]

I hate this arc so much why do i keep playing

[versed grotto]

Kim's Morale is very useful if various researches or artifacts are aquired.

[grave charm]

Augment Rep SBL does not work... every day something new...

[devout ice]

Why is there no replacement event for those who can no longer score there? I would also like to have the opportunity to get tokens...

[worn grove]

What events ?

[limpid galleon]

@full swan The rep SLB does not work. please guys fix this :D

[rough scarab]

I think it isnt scoring for anyone. Not just max rep ppl

[runic isle]

@full swan is the Chaos Dmg SLB going to be back ?

[bitter basalt]

@full swan@near saddle Khan Acclaim SLB isnt scoring

[versed grotto]

<@&509690795536941056> is the Chaos Attack event returning after being pulled for the wrong rewards?

[hard sentinel]

Anyone else's event tabs constantly refreshing and preventing scrolling? I can scroll past the first few in line before it jumps me back to beginning. Already tried restarts and nothing is fixing it.

[opaque hawk]

thats the fix to the refreshes not working well before, now they refresh almost instantly, but everytime someone in your alliance refreshes a task, it reloads to the top. so if a bunch are in there rerolling, its constant. i picked up a task that is literally impossible to complete because of it (spend uncommon exborg when i am done with that faction so max i can spend in a day is like 6k)

[hard sentinel]

Not the tournament task page but the events scroll page. I can't get to dailies to start rep events.

[opaque hawk]

maybe a suggestion @full swan let us have a button to abandon a task, but make it cost reroll credits (so its not used to just get a task off the list)
amd for the events, there were reports of that yesterday, Ailuros, not sure if there was ever anything said about it though.

[full swan]

Yup. Putting an announcement together.

[viscid thorn]

hey, the menu seems to be broken. mine is too. You can click into a task and than change again between eventsand event shop for example

[untold zephyr]

Is it just me or does the guy who makes these event don't know what they are doing?
Using Sam Rutherford below deck is the same as wasting a below deck slot.

[sand bison]

Xindi event isn't working for me

[untold zephyr]

Attack the reptilians not the other ones

[sand bison]

Says any reptilian but not getting credit

[versed grotto]

Reptilian are in the normal systems, aquatics inhabit the token spaces. Have you put the correct crew on?

[molten marlin]

Needs to be 40+

the starter system hostiles don't count for events

[copper oak]

Second event in a row that I can't complete or even start.
Yesterday I would have needed 40 (!) Armadas.
Today at least 120 Xindi kills.
I'm a fresh G4 player and can't even manage one Xindi.
Bravo Scope!

[uncut fable]

We don't want you to spend all day grinding. Just kidding..here are unreasonable events with extraordinary amounts of grind

[runic isle]

@full swan What about Chaos Damage SLB that was taken down ? it is gonna be back or not ?

[solid tangle]

May I ask what the chance of getting an epic dominion 10k task is? Because since the start not one of our alliance members has seen it.

[molten marlin]

seen it a few times

[sand bison]

Same here, I was able to take one xindi in level 40 space as a new to Ops 40 player. Had to use 3 excomps and Titan, Ceritos and Defiant buffs just to take one with that crew. Guess this event is just a pass for now for lower ops folks.

[woeful whale]

Is this scoring? I have all the officers on my ship.

[molten marlin]

are you hitting 40+ reptiles?

[strong anchor]

Spending Traits xp isn’t scoring. Is this really bad lag or a scoring bug?

[woeful whale]

I tried hitting everything. In and out of the token systems.

[subtle oracle]

vin event brok done 4 65 solo amards no points

[robust bronze]

EE Gorn Grapple is not scoring!!!

[crystal onyx]

NO event is scoring

[strong anchor]

Points came in after 10-15 min

[marble parrot]

Finished xindi khan event but now the task tournament is broken.

Stopped at 186/200

💩💩🍆🍆

[woeful whale]

Yea my alliance is seeing general scoring issues on everything. Events and tasks.

[runic isle]

all events stopped scoring !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have overloaded cube that i cannot dock now

[naive estuary]

I flew two epic solo armades according to the task, the NX had the temporal warp on it. Nevertheless, the counter remains at 0/2 . Is it me?

[thick owl]

Harry and Sam below deck. Getting ZERO points for Khan Challenger event. Scoring on other events is badly delayed. FIX THIS PLASMA FIRE.

[kindred aurora]

I guess I'll just find another game to play this evening!

[gusty patrol]

Vindicator event not scoring

[full swan]

Think its scoring lag. Hearing from others that they are showing up after a few minutes.

[halcyon fiber]

Trait XP registered after couple minutes and a restart

[subtle oracle]

its takes about 5 mins to update on 114 atm it bit silly realy

[lost halo]

It seems tournament task kill 1600 points worth of xindi hostiles is not rewarding points from aquatic xindi hostiles.

[naive estuary]

ah, 10 minutes later only it comes

[kindred aurora]

Also, Sam Rutherford? Sam..... Rutherford....? Really?

[full swan]

Sometimes its best to let points marinate?

[uncut trench]

Also that’s a ridiculous number. Many of us are ignoring those tasks as lots don’t have the officers. Also the arc missions - won’t get completed as it’s almost impossible to get the faction rep to complete. We didn’t need added grind.

[vestal cloak]

Restarting should fix points, but doesn't

[crystal onyx]

Mine are scoring with a 10min delay

[full swan]

Points still haven't shown up?

[vestal cloak]

Yes, finally got them ...I think, anyway closer to finishing than before, thanks

[obtuse urchin]

Restarted 4 times over last half hour and still only 300k points in ee gorn. am killing lvl 68-70s 🥱

[ocean arch]

Are you guys kidding with these TC pass awards? Isogen?? We can't use it! Holodeck mats? You capped us at level 30! What good are they? I'm so glad I didn't waste my money on this joke of a pass

[gusty plume]

So the ~Only~ xindi reptiles that count towards this "challenge" are the ones that completely IGNORE SHIELDS and yet you insist that we use Rutherford Below Decks who's BD ability is the BOOST SHIELDS?

Who on your staff thought that would be a "Great Idea"???

[opaque hawk]

The chaos tech has to be on strongest/only ship in atmada

[spare island]

Grindiest arc ever i thought you guys were going to make this game less grindy?

[maiden basin]

So if we are a new 40 ops player and cannot kill lvl 40+ xindi reptilians we are just screwed?!

[tropic sigil]

Not anymore. You can get the nx 01 through several free means and skip the reptilian portion of the loop.

[maiden basin]

Apologies, my question was in reference to the Khan Challengers event?

[vestal cloak]

Finished 😊

[hollow crag]

Nice choices. Thought they fixed this

[maiden basin]

Exactly! I am in the same situation. Kinda angry that I wasted all my time, directives, etc on the previous challenges and still not to be able to finish the event

[knotty acorn]

Not scoring

[wintry thicket]

Having issues not able to scroll to end of event bar on events. Restarting doesnt help. <@&509690795536941056>

[tiny saffron]

#notdoingeventnotupgradingofficers

[full swan]

Sent you a friend request.

[thick owl]

@uncut trench , many of the Tournament Tasks are actually optimized for players between ops 28-32. At that level the various kill FKR/Xindi/Hirogen are easy to finish. 1600 points is 77 kills if you're hitting targets 3+ levels above your ops. Those Xindi Scraps and Hirogen Relics will come in handy down the line.

[stoic ferry]

The PVP event only gives points for kills. Not for being killed. I finally found a guy there one guy on the server sacrificing for the event. If he isn't there. Then you go and sacrifice your ship for high levels getting points. While you get Zero Points.

How are new level 50 players supposed to get points from this PVP event?

[runic meadow]

Communication with other players on your server, help each other.

[rapid quail]

Borg Cube Distinction Rewards. Nice

[toxic wraith]

Tell him send realta, kill his realta

[obtuse urchin]

Nope. Not mine anyway.

Still stuck at "30.5k to next reward". Just killed a 69 and 70. Last night, did 10+ *lvl 70s. Those should give > 610k alone and my score is stuck at 305k.
or I'm missing something stupid

[obtuse urchin]

just discovered the problem. I was killing Gorn Hunters, like it says in the event description. no scoring. I just tried Gorn Hunting Packs and they are scoring. Seriously, I mean.. ok I'm speechless

[daring spear]

I hope the idea was NOT to have anyone care about the narrative with WoK, because there is no time to read anything before your shop gets killed.

Whoever came up with this needs to be fired.

[vivid delta]

Is there any sign of the event timings all being aligned again? It must be decreasing activity and participation with it being staggered.

I’ve logged on at the AT reset to accept a task, that will be me until main event reset at least but more times than not, I’ll wait until the final reset so I’m not doing the same things 3 times.

[cosmic olive]

Emerald Chain has been reset to Level 1 🤔

[gray stirrup]

Fix the at refresh issue. Before people have a seizure.

[static patio]

Get a freind to send a low level ship. I did it for our allies.

[dark horizon]

are you out of your mind ? are you putting an event in systems locked behind tokens ? and with crews that are not what someone would use for these ?

25 pts per kill without having any R5 officers, that makes 40 kills on a single ship having all those officers, 2 ships per wave probably, thats 20 waves

[lucid idol]

<@&509690795536941056> of all the ill-advised events you've launched recently, this takes the cake. One solo wave defence entry every 3 days, what about all the people who dont currently have one?? Insane that this was deemed a good idea, my suggestion would be provide a chest with 3 solo wave entries to ensure everyone can do this

[neon terrace]

Gift at least 400 solo wave directives for this event....

[jagged current]

This is absurd. Who can do that many solo waves?

[limpid galleon]

this is bad and you should feel bad <@&509690795536941056>

[dark horizon]

It won't matter if they give solo directives for the people that do not have the correct officers unlocked or are just unable to kill the correct hostiles. They need to take it outside of the token systems.

[pure skiff]

they just should award completion for this sham of an event to everyone and apologise

[trail solar]

And this is a normal one, not even heroic.

[burnt sundial]

Solowave event, no solo wave starts.,......

[scarlet summit]

no r5 officers !

[serene blaze]

You can not equip all ships with the officers, so you only score 10 ships per defense. If you lucky you have them maxed, so you get the higher scoring. But without paying those officers most likely below T5

[low mantle]

And what about g4 players that have only 3 waves in solos?

[signal ferry]

So I think I did the math even with all 5 officers none of them maxed(25pts per kill) that's still 40 kills if that ship kills every hostile, G5/G6 WD have 30 hostiles, you can kill 3-4 per wave reliably(more if you have more speed below decks), so 18-20 per wave defense and if you have all the required officers that's 25 pts per kill meaning you need 40 kills so 2-3 solo wave defenses

[dark horizon]

Yeah, that's my view, can split the officers between 2 ships and need 80 kills instead of 40, but still ... this is for people that can actually kill something in there. There are many that have difficulty doing WDs solos anyway. This still needs to be taken out of there and not locked behind having tokens for it, so those that can't reliably kill enough in lets say 4 wave defenses can complete it.

[ashen spruce]

Georgiou's SWD is impossible to complete.

I'm newly ops 50, need to score 1000 points.

I have 5 of the 6 officers, none of them maxed, so can score 20 points per kill.

That's 50 kills needed.

6 ships per wave, so that's just over 8 waves, assuming I can kill every enemy with the same ship. Unlikely...

Whether I do lvl 45 or lvl 50 solos it's maximum 3 waves at my level, so I also need 300 entry tokens (guess what...I actually play the game so dont have that much saved up). Again assuming I can kill 6 enemies per wave with the same ship.

What are you smoking? 🤣

[quasi rose]

There was just a solo wave event the other day, how can they run another even that requires solo waves when if we did the last event we will have no currency left and you can only pull the currency every 3 days.

Need to be giving out at LEAST 500 entry tokens!!

[solemn fjord]

they do it with total lack of coherent thought

[chilly heron]

Is this for real? Only solo waves count?
I have 1 of those officers, which give 10 points per hostile. So I need 100 hostiles. IF I somehow manage to kill all hostiles in the first 2 waves (the ones in the third wave just kills me, even the ones in wave 2 are tough) thats like 100 points each. Where exactly do I find all the solo armada starters now I need to finish that event? I need to start that roundabout 4 k Ciphers please.

[icy dove]

Not a good event, Im in favor of the ideas behind Khans Challengers, but this is not a good idea.

[plush axle]

<@&509690795536941056> The SWD is not marked as heroic. Send us a load of directives so we can actually run it!

[small egret]

Help! My Events Tab is stuck again! I can’t scroll right and see any of the other events. It happened a few days ago but stopped and now it’s back.

[mental relic]

Scoring os total trash on the solo wave khan challenge.

Solo waves are already absurdly OP and not fun unless people want to buy a super niche ship.

The whole new arc has been ridiculous with no feasible way for players to grind hostiles out their level.

Seriously <@&509690795536941056> the devs really need to get their act together.

[humble sleet]

More like 6, not everyone has all those officers, or has them tiered up enough 😂

[chilly heron]

There must be another way. Where can I find those apex raiders outside of solo waves <@&509690795536941056> , please? Or have I just missed the chest where 4000 ciphers are in?

[forest spear]

This solo waves Khan event is garbage. We already don't have enough starts, and you want us to screw things up by messing with our crews on an event we STILL won't be able to finish?
Congratulations, you have united the player base to yell at you... again.

[polar stone]

<@&509690795536941056> multiple members of my alliance, including myself, are stuck at 3/3 AT tasks for the day despite only having completed 2, because of a visual glitch that never showed the second task activate. CS has said they can't help. This is a major problem.

[gritty quartz]

solo wave khan event is not good/ heroic or worse==please provide enough directive for 6 to 7 runs for most players

[fresh whale]

<@&509690795536941056> how are we meant to do the latest challenger event? im fortunate enough to have all of the officers but don't have any maxed, so im getting 25pts per kill. 1000pts, so 40 kills, seems doable on a normal wave, but you want solo waves where i can manage 4-6 (latter if buffed) a run, max of 4 runs so max of 24 kills if i buff and win every fight with one ship in a solo run. thats a little over half of whats needed.

[chilly heron]

33 starts for me, if I am lucky

[vernal fulcrum]

@full swan so this Khan's Challenge Solon wave event. None of these were scheduled so could not even save solo directives if we had wanted to. Only 24hrs to complete, so now won't complete the meta and get enough for an unlock in the store due to missing one?

[bitter basalt]

@near saddle@full swan I did a lv 60 Solo Normal Wave and only got 250 points, even though i have all 6 officers on board, you guys need to give players Solo Wave Directives or only few will be able to complete this SMS

[dawn fossil]

Dopely strikes again

[versed grotto]

Change it to regular waves or give out enough starts. In 50 solo waves I can kill 18 hostiles, if scoring works correctly, which it hasnt for almost all these events in this chain, I would need at least 4 runs with the officers I have available

[halcyon goblet]

(nothing more to say)

[neat thorn]

I am here to complain about the solo waves event. Yes no one will have enough starts but there is a bigger message here.

Why would you choose the worst officers for the event? I get that they are new officers and you want to make $ off them but there is a BIG missed opportunity here with this event and every event like it.

You could have chosen the “best” officers and made the event a teaching moment for all players.

[chilly heron]

Thats it with the meta event then. I expected romulan armadas, guess I will ignore that as well then, and whatever comes as well 🤷‍♀️ Thanks for nothing but stealing my time scopely. <@&509690795536941056>

[gritty quartz]

u would have to have all officers on one ship and kill all hostiles which is impossible🧻

[iron python]

Hey folks -- the current event has been escalated and is being discussed.

No idea what they will do... but it was flagged.

[fresh whale]

arguably they are good crew, the s31 crew have apex barrier and shred which you need with these guys, but i have them spread out for specific targets rather than all on one ship

[regal oxide]

<@&509690795536941056>

At this point you are actively driving players from the game.

The latest Khan solo wave event is complete and utter nonsense!

This arc has been nothing but impossible grind after impossible grind.

You have probably already lost a large proportion of the player base with this garbage constant money grab.

[hollow lichen]

to beat the lvl60 solo waves I also need shield mitigation from janeway and snw pike to make it through to the end, so this event also forces me to run lower waves to even make it. wasting dirs on lower loot i would normally get. big fat F for this event

[sour sapphire]

Yeah this is an undeniably terrible event. What a joke, and not the good kind.

[dark horizon]

Spreading them out is fine, you still need 3 ships in there and you still get the points, the more you spread them out the more kills you need ... all officers on one ship, you need 40 kills, spread on 2 ships, need 80 kills, spread on 3 ships, need 120 kills -- of course this can vary and increase the number of kills depending which ship kills more or less hostiles

[bitter basalt]

5 complete waves in Elite 55 gave only 350 points

[thin void]

This Khan Challengers solo wave event is monumentally bad

[brazen latch]

Except at level 45 you only have 18 hostiles total. 120 kills means 7 runs.

[solemn fjord]

im just fed up now, usually look forward to arc's but this one has been so bad, im done.

[ashen notch]

Georgiou's SWD is awful. You cap solo ciphers at 4, and only give 1 set every 3 days if not capped. People simply don't get a fair shot at completing the event without spending money. Spending should be to enhance gameplay, not be required for participation.

[dawn fossil]

Let’s form a union and strike on these working conditions.

[fresh whale]

hadnt thought of doing that, need a fast ship, but 6 hostiles a wave, 2 waves per run, 4 runs would give 48 kills, which would be enough. just need to get them fast enough to not wipe early

[golden juniper]

😆 STFC content creators are awful 😆

[jagged current]

I put Dane and lala girl below on my pilum for speed, I manage to get almost all the hostiles with it. So possible, but very hard for ftp unless you have a bank of directives or can milk the refines and the wave sms

[forest spear]

If anyone ever had any doubt whether or not the event designers actually play the game, this solo wave Khan event should settle it.
https://tenor.com/view/galaxy-quest-did-you-guys-ever-watch-the-show-galaxy-quest-guy-incredulous-gif-16722534722385294643

[karmic sky]

The playtesters probably have the gs31 with tier 5 on all needed officers so it was easy for them even though that isnt a representation of most players.

[dark horizon]

Heresy !!!

They dont have play testers. We are them.

[mint finch]

Just gift us 1000 SWD tickets and be done with this nonsense

[ripe sierra]

Let's see.

• 13 points per ship
• 2 ships per wave
• 3 waves per token (bc smaller players would have it too easy if it was 5 waves per token?)

= 78 points per solo wave start
= start 13 solo waves to complete the SMS

wonderful

[fresh whale]

yeah thats the issue, these events wouldnt nearly be as bad if they were just points per kill with one of these on board

[dawn fossil]

This is better then the game right now

[dark horizon]

I agree, that's why I said it needs to be taken out of token-locked systems. I personally do not have Quasi and Alok unlocked either, so that means i need a lot more kills and tokens to start more defenses.

[chilly heron]

what do you mean, 2 ships per wave? arent there 6? Do not all of them count?

[solid tangle]

It's probably Alok, with a K. Been searching like crazy, since I'm still not familiar with him.

[spiral moth]

do you people even play the events you create and are like " Hey the Older server can do it, so all servers can do it "

[worldly tiger]

"the overall Meta Event is designed so you can pick and choose, meaning it’s okay to skip the tougher ones and still make great progress" - without knowing ahead of time what all the events are and with multiple ina row being ridiculous grinds?

[hollow flare]

"Lets make an event on content that requires 3 ships to do but only make you score points for one of those three ships, surely this wont be at all frustrating for players"

10/10 content as usual this arc

[fresh whale]

going to have some choice words to say when this arc's survey comes round

[harsh peak]

I did the SWD event fine, what's the point of being any good at this game if Scopely just listen and cave in to the whiners?

[native shoal]

The Event itself at a higher Level is no problem, but all the failures in the description makes it so unplayable! They can`t write the right names of their officers!

[quasi rose]

300 tokens is no where near enough, what a joke. You people do NOT care about your player base AT ALL and it shows on a REGULAR basis. Playing it off as "you can pick and choose" is insulting. This isn't a player problem, or a skill problem, it's an event design problem.

One of my other games had momentary lag (less lag then we deal with as acceptable at baseline) and they gave out stacks of premium currency to make up for it.

[chilly heron]

Well, thanks for the 300 ciphers. Now I only need 3700 more, please <@&509690795536941056> Guess I open a ticket because of missing items or so... 🤷‍♀️

[somber hinge]

since the officer are just on ship, which mostly kills just 2 ships per waves (3 would bes still possible..)

[plucky flare]

This arc could have been the best one, but in true fashion the devil was in the details. Make the grind too long and arduous, make the events range from the edge of tolerable to absolutely not doing them. Then take away teams and require useful officers be out of commission for 5-6 days.. This is how to take exciting content and make it not fun. Congratulations

[wintry kestrel]

Some of the Khan’s Challengers tasks are definitely a bit too much and the description bugs have been frustrating. But overall I've enjoyed the event. I like the specific crew challenges (even though I don't think I've had any of the Rank 5 available lol).

[worldly tiger]

Thats the genius behind the factthey already sent out the arc survey on literally the first day of it as always

[tropic sigil]

If Khan's challengers returns?! What are we supposed to do with half of a skin unlock?! <@&509690795536941056> are we going to be able to complete these skins for free next month or are these half unlocks it for us and going into the dumpster we call inventory like my disco refit for 2 years?

[runic isle]

@full swan No Voyager event today ?

[late orchid]

Genius play design. Put a khan event dependent on having ciphers to complete...

[oak crescent]

it was poorly thought out, but they did make an announcement in #⭐-official-announcements

[limpid galleon]

300 ciphers is ridiculous. 500 would have been okay

[shell vortex]

This is the worst month ever. Congrats. That's really an accomplishment. And gifting 300 things to do more is the opposite of what you should be doing. Gift 10k ciphers... Most of us don't want to grind all day for one event and you have 3 on one day

[hollow flare]

they expect you to use the GS-31, you can get 400 points in 4 rounds with the beam ability without any T5 officers, without it you're SOL

[late orchid]

True they just did...but can it complete event with (300) 3 runs and only certain officers being used to count?... and half of those officers are new and certainly not maxed for majority of player? So no increased points...

[low remnant]

Khan’s challenges might be the worst event chain ever created. Please never bring it back.

[oak crescent]

not sure. hopefully. I'll be finding out myself once they comp chest shows up

[fresh whale]

im a bit dubious they know what pick and choose means. a list of 12 officers for 3 bridge slots is a choice, 3 for 3 bridge and another 3 for below is just mandatory inclusion

[chilly heron]

I only have 1 officer, So I go in with full impulse speed and 2 waste ships like fortunates to delay ships and try to get all done with the 1 ship ... not working great, but it is what it is.

[ripe sierra]

whether all designated officers are on one ship or spread out, they can kill only 2 hostiles per wave (unless you have one ship extra zippy & powerful ship hitting more than 2 hostiles per wave)

[versed grotto]

Good for you, how much have you spent in the officers and directives? Just because you can spend to make it easy doesn't mean everyone can.

[mental relic]

<@&509690795536941056> Reposne from the devs is just as trash as this whole arc. Maybe you folks haven't noticed people have really not been very happy with this arc or previous arcs in recent memory.

It is not fun when every event is blocked by MULTIPLE 100+ dollar packages to even be able to compete at any level that does not require an all day grind.

You asked what we wanted...we said less grind and so you gave us more grind. Its ridiculous.

On top of all that every event has been been so bugged that it has broken the game. I lost an entire day's worth of faction and refinery materials (I know I am not the only one) and you're like here's a comp chest that doesn't include anything you lost.

You need to do better and you need to make this right for your players in a BIG way, not some weak comp chest.

I get that you want money, I spend plenty on this game. But continuing to ask for hundreds of dollars for super niche ships and research frustrates people and will ultimately drive them away from the game.

[harsh peak]

Nothing. I've none of the officers at T5 and don't even have Quasi. I looked at the schedule and saw there was an event for SWD so didn't spend my directives. I had to do 3 waves to finish the event

[low remnant]

There’s been a few where I’ve said screw it. I’m only using their below decks crew and skipping their above decks crew because their proposed crewing is so bad it equates to double the hulls to the complete event. Maybe that’s the pick and choose part 🤣

[shell vortex]

And the problem is people think good at the game is I spent a bunch of money. Most of the players that do that have no idea what's going on🤣

[peak geyser]

Please explain how you got 50 kills on 1 ship in 3 waves

[woeful whale]

@near saddle
Regarding your post #⭐-official-announcements message
as well as mine from a few days ago.

I think these events have legs. Perhaps a series once a quarter or half year to highlight the combinations of officers that are recently released.

Except there are some factors that you’ll need to consider. How available are all the officers involved. The armada event using ds9 crews was easy for me since ds9 is ages old. A lot of people have those officers. People on new servers though don’t.

Scoring needs to be adjusted to account for the level of the target being hit as well as the tier of the officer being used.

My suggestion is to target the scoring with zero officers to a particular number of hostile kills or armadas defeated. Then set the scoring at each ops to meet that goal.

The addition of the suggested officers can then be a way to boost the points rather than be the whole scoring mechanic. This can help remove any friction to not having the officers would cause and allow you to run the event more frequently to better highlight some crew combinations and new releases.

[harsh peak]

I didn't count my kills but I didn't need that many. I did load all the officers on 1 ship and tried to hit as many as possible with that. I'm totally f2p, for all the people saying it's just spending

[chilly heron]

This is my "zippy" ship.

[glass pewter]

<@&509690795536941056> #⭐-official-announcements message this response shows Scopely is completely out of touch with the player base. 1) running this a few days after a Wave SLB is just poor planning. 2) By the time compensation is rolled out many players will be passed the window they have to play the game so problem not solved. 3) you would think Scopely would understand how upset most players are with this arc and handle things better to help with player morale.

[peak geyser]

No Quasi and no T5 officers means you need 50 kills (20 points/kill). Not possible in 3 waves.... So just wondering how you did this

[chilly heron]

But it shows how much scopely is into money making. I am sure there is somewhere a package with ciphers for 99,99 😄
(I mean, its a company, it has to make money, but sometimes its just stupidly obvious ^^)

[harsh peak]

Well, it was 3 x 5 waves (the level 50 ones). Main ship was Ent D. Captain was E Riker and had Dane BD so was reasonably fast. I only had to use my "backup ships" for 2 or 3 hostiles per defence otherwise the main ship handled them all

[glass pewter]

Very true but a good business has balance between driving spend and making customers feel good about spend

[versed grotto]

I have 2 starts, and only able to kill up to 18 hostiles in a 50 solo waves [ round 4] with the scoring it would take me 4+starts to complete if every wave ran smoothly and I got every kill. So I have to question how you completed it in 3 runs. As without quasi, you got at max 20 points per kill if all were on one ship, spread that over 3 ships there is no way you finished it in 3 runs

[hard sentinel]

Having us mix up our officer loadout is a nice change and has been tollerable for events so far. However, today's crew is a horrible mix to use in a gate kept mechanic such as waves. It would be far more enjoyable and better for the players if the officer mixes that are required were better than our standard crews we were running. Kinda like the devs giving us pointers on our crewing or showing us what little used officers are good for. Today's crew is not a good one for waves unless they are split amongst all ships. Can normally complete wave 5 of standard 50 solos with barely a scratch but the ship running this crew to earn the required points is done on the first wave 5 hostile. If this system is used in the future I hope more thought can go into the intentions of the crewing.

[harsh peak]

Don't know what to tell you, I did 🤷‍♂️ Sorry you don't believe me I guess

[chilly heron]

fake news! 😉

[serene jetty]

All officers have to be on the same ship? We can't split them in 3?

[molten marlin]

You could, but it'll split the points. You only score on kills with the officers on that ship.

[harsh peak]

It scores way way better if they're together

[fresh whale]

i liked the concept, i really struggle with getting mixed crews to work, tend to find a suitable captain for a task and maxing out synergy. and the other tasks havent been so restrictive that this experimentation causing a quick repair speedup or 10 couldn't handle. but the fact you get a max number of runs and you might not be able to do it in those is a bit much

[serene jetty]

Makes no sense. Alok and Zeph on a single ship means one of them is useless (this criticism is directed at Scopely)

[short pier]

@near saddle If you're intending people to pick and choose which events they can do, you really need a calendar for these so we can actually plan out which ones we can skip and still complete it. Some days have 1 event and some have 2, so without knowing that or knowing how difficult tomorrow's will be, it's risky to skip one.

[cobalt knoll]

Their gift of 300 tokens is laughable. Most players need to do many more waves to reach the point total😡

[serene jetty]

Just did a 45 solo wave with officers split, got 109 points, thus about 10 waves to have if finished. LOL you need to actually do solo waves with solo ship. @near saddle @full swan should have offered us a minimum of 3 crews for this event, one per ship, which would allow us to make 480 points per defense, thus requiring a reasonable amount of 3 waves to complete.

[dark horizon]

I did a 50 solo, got 4 waves done, 138pts, since im missing quasi and alok. so that is 8 WDs i need to complete, those 300 directives are not going to make a dent in the event

"the overall Meta Event is designed so you can pick and choose" << this is other bull - the META completion requires that you only miss one event to finish, unless they add double events for the next couple days. I did complete all so far and need 200 pts to complete, with 3 days left

[hollow vector]

<@&509690795536941056>
Appreciate the event store for choosing your own rewards this arc. This is a vast improvement over how it’s usually done. Thank you!!

[serene jetty]

Did a 2nd 45 solo wave now with all officer but Quasi on a single ship, got 300 points because I cant make the ship fast enough to get to all hostiles in time (2 hits on the tower and killed the 3rd with another ship to prevent losing the wave).

[mint basin]

Limited drip sourcing on directives and newish officers without in game sourcing that would likely get you t5… spend on the directives or spend on officer packs. Not even bothering to hide being a ‘Heroic’ flag. Creating events that require hours of grind or spending to complete a meta is just disrespectful to your player base

[ebon perch]

is "hours of grind" referring to the Augment killing events? Are they really being disrespectful with that, or are they really just getting us to check our progress levels/crew options? With a bit of fine tuning the events can be done relatively quickly

Having to solo a solo... is also a very Khan thing to do. Being a "superior" as he claims to be

[tacit zephyr]

Scopelli likes to complicate things a lot. What would it have cost them to have put in normal wave defense, and not the solitary wave defense?

[ocean crypt]

oh aye, here's 3 sets of dirs, but it's gonna take 5 sets to complete the challenge, if your lucky, what another scam, getting really typical of scopely with every single event

[errant chasm]

Depending on your level its not too bad. If you can easily clear the 50 solos (not elites) you can pile all officers on your fastest ship and put Dane below if you have him. Use that one ship for almost all the kills and use your other two close to center in case anything gets through. I was getting 25 points a kill and did it in two waves. I still don't think its a very well designed event having to punch down and use poor crews to score.

[sharp thistle]

Such a great idea from Scopely... Everyone has been moaning about the grind since the arc began, so the solution is add more grinds that have stupid scoring that makes it incredibly difficult for people to complete them without yet another grind... At least you used to put a heroic tag on things so people new it was for spenders only.

And what is up with the store for the challenges? Adding the new ships and yet we can only get half the shards needed? Guess they are going to collect dust until you can be bothered to run another grindy event like this again?

I cannot understand how even after all the feedback you've had about how terrible this arc is with the grinds on top of the grinds on top of the grinds, your solution is to add MORE grinds and add half a store

[fallow kiln]

one more event that doesn't count all the mats 4* spent... the 2nd this month so far! <@&509691205798592532> any compensation for this SLB research+ building not functionning properly?

[worn galleon]

Is we are doing incursions on Friday one more in a lapses of judgement. Sucks the fun out of it since everyone is turtled by the time we get home from work

[neon terrace]

Actually wave event done in 2 runs. I only have 5 out of 6 officers. None of them Rank5. So in 3 runs sure possible. And probably most of us will have enough time to start a 4th one.

[hollow vector]

Same here, I split them between 2 ships and let my third ship sit there idle as a backup if needed. EZPZ.

[cinder ermine]

Dear scopely, per your last announcement you seem to have made a common developer mistake and confused making things take forever and waste a bunch of your time with making things challenging. They are not the same. Doing something boring for 3 hours is not the same, nor is it as rewarding for the player, as actually being challenged for 20 minutes. Also, making scoring requirements based around officers that absolutely no one has maxed out except the turbo whales because they were just released last month is also not "challenging."

[tender breach]

If it has anything to do with the new Khan arc and events, I don't want nothing to do with it. This arc is absolute trash and not worth the time or hassle. Guess that's why I've barely played since its come out.

[solemn tulip]

It would be easier to complete the solo wave event if the game mode was stable and not absolutely filthy with bugs. I've failed more tries today than I have completed because of problems on Scopely's end. It's even more infuriating than the rest of the asinine arc.

[gusty plume]

You could give me an extra 20 solo elite tokens and I still wouldn't be able to complete this impossible challenge.

[fresh whale]

done the event, thought i might share how i did it, hopefully helping people out, but i do accept it can be very situational.
so i did it with my voyager as it was the fastest ship i had with 4 bdo slots (meta crew (all rank 1) with dane as well)
drop 3 different damage exos.
sent voyager along with cerritos and titan into a wave, used the latter 2 to buff voyager (did not want her dying early), then swapped them for my two cheapest ships.
got voyager into position for the first wave, started, and sent her on a loop round, at the end i sent her to where one of the second wave ships would spawn to save time.
second wave, same as the first except i sent my extra ships after 1 or 2 of the late spawners to slow them down. worked 50% of the time.
didn't bother with the last wave, not strong enough
between all that i was able to get 11 kills consistently each time.
over the first three runs, i cleared enough waves to unlock a season pass tier that gave me another wave start, so got the 4 waves and 40 kills i needed.
again granted you might not have all the needed crew, the titan, cerritos or exo buffs (not sure how useful they were, but better safe than sorry) or in just the right place in your wave season pass to get another go, but hopefully this helps someone figure out how to do their event

[gentle peak]

This event is absolute garbage, too many players don't have what's required to complete which also means they will miss out on the bigger meta sms. If scopley is going to put this kind of stuff out label it heroic and don't make it part of a larger sms

[simple widget]

This wave event is terrible. Why would you require officers that JUST came out and have no sourcing yet? 300 wave starts is laughable. This one is really bad

[edgy bison]

Tournament store is taking 30+ seconds to clear a choice. 🤯

[vital drift]

Interim events are a real snooze fest.

[raw bramble]

Wave event not possible to complete. Not enough tickets with only having 2 of the six officers listed. Will take 67 hostiles to complete. Better gift a free unlock of said officers with more tickets for realistic completion.

[vast goblet]

I'm f2p and have 5 of the 6 officers. 2x wave 50 with the officers on my Sanctus and event done with ease. Going to depend on your officers and ship power but it is achievable f2p. We got 3 sets of launch directives free and the event took me 2.....

[gentle hearth]

<@&509690795536941056>
This Arc has already been a joke with the insane # of kills I've needed for events. WAY to much grind time. Worse Arc in ages.
However, today a new level of impossible!!!! Even with the 3 bonus solo waves, no way to complete with my limited officer set. Are you going to do anything to fix this Scopley?

[worn galleon]

To pile on, this wave event is awful, just give the whales extra stuff, stop brutalizing people who aren't ops60

[left hare]

<@&509691205798592532> <@&509690795536941056> I don't like blasting. But I have yet to see any good communication on this. The requirements to finish events for this Arc have some of my team suggesting that they are planning on quitting. We have been trying to keep morale up, but it's not really going well.

Others here have commented on the noticeably elevated requirements of keeping up with events. And yet, there has been very little coming from Scopely. For example: the extra gift of 300 solo wave starter cred will do very little to help some of our team. And to go further, the amount of time they are required to commit in order to complete the new EE Hostile events has more than doubled their required time in game. Which most can't do. This is after Scopely has stated "they would do what they can to allow players to progress with appropriate screentime" ≈ (not an exact quote, just my interpretation)

So please inform us on how to proceed. It's not everyday that you have multiple people telling you that they are thinking about leaving the game. Thank you.

[rancid blaze]

if they're thinking about, they should.

[static patio]

It's tough. I'm thinking about it, but I've invested a ton of time, not a small amount of money, and have made some great friends. I"'ve also made this game a daily habit, for better or worse. Tough to leave that no matter how bad the game itself is.

[rancid blaze]

Sunk cost, Cognitive Dissonance. Increased screen time, irritation. If you feel this way just stop.

[static patio]

Well, i've completely stopped spending. That helped my attitude..😅

[left hare]

I refuse to believe that Scopely's business model is to make people feel that they should just quit if they don't like how the game is going... just stop playing? Yeah, no.

[rancid blaze]

Whales have spent their money, sunk cost keeps them up to a breaking point they stop. Scopely's business model is to find new whales.

[left hare]

I could be the next whale. You could be the next whale. Weird Al could be the next whale. Why assume the current player base couldn't potentially be whales? Best course of action would be to keep your player base. And make them want to keep playing! Just my 2 cents.

[molten marlin]

Funny you mention weird al....

[rancid blaze]

look at numbers, there was about 1500 new players every day for the last week. Who knows if they were alt accounts, spam bot accounts, or actually new players. If only 1 % of those players spend the $15-$20 for the extra Builder, Research, Repair. (which I have, and that's all I plan on spending) that's a cool 250K a year. Plus all the other games Scopley makes. Whales are the 1% of the 1%. it's the small fries that keep them afloat. Soak them for all the value available to you. Spend nothing. Turn off the screen.

[left hare]

@molten marlin he's a legend. Thanks for responding. Wish you responded to my original post ☝️

[molten marlin]

Can't do anything about that, lol. The feedback around the events has been raised earlier though.

[left hare]

Yeah. Not anything as far as action. Thank you all the same

"Wandering Warriors (Relativity and Eviscerator) " How Many % auf players have them maxed, according to Scoplys data? <1%? Seems like a really useless event 😄

[lilac zinc]

Can't we change APEX event for ops 40 plus players. Its totally useless once u get to ops 40 for the rewards. There's just no use the 40 plus payers even doing it because the rewards are rubbish for our ops levels.

[tacit zephyr]

No matter what level you are, the rewards will always be garbage.

[idle parcel]

Why are we only getting UC explorer parts in the jellyfish brawl, when jellyfish takes rare parts too? Oh yeah, you want us to go through the tedious process of having to build useless ships to scrap, which we then STILL can't speed up, just to have to do this for a different ship.

[silent timber]

<@&509690795536941056> Hello 👋🏻 did you forget to write about sarris invasion in interim or is it not scheduled ?
I think it could be beneficial to all players if sarris would return every month at least don’t you think ?

[vague patio]

its always only given uncommon ship parts

[idle parcel]

I know, and I'm saying they should give the rares too. The event is pretty pointless when you get bottlenecked with a bunch of UC parts but no rare ones.

[vague patio]

mostly why a lot of people, including me stopped doing the event at some points. a lot of uncommon parts but no rares. could convert it tbh but not enough tokens
