I see counting is hard for scopely

[hollow oriole]

Of course, you can count on it 🤣

[humble sleet]

You’re not killing them hard enough, have to put more spirit into it!

But seriously I’ve seen some scoring delays and had to reboot the APP to get it to show up

[subtle nest]

U need more flair

[elder spade]

If we're going to be forced to mine millions of transogen, can it count in the master survey event at least

[idle parcel]

Everything about this is bad. I was wondering how to get more invading entity directives, and I just saw that you have to exchange a 💩 bunch of hostile hits in the event store for the CHANCE to get enough for one directive.

The exchange should be in the refinery, not the event store, and you should be guaranteed a few directives for taking 11-12 trips of hitting hostiles.

This is a big no. I'm not spending hours trying to complete an event, hitting hostiles below my level because you once again make things too hard, just for a chance for one directive. 9.4m for one pull.

Ridiculous.

[jaunty island]

Exactly right.

[real patrol]

the lvl 34-35 xindi arent counting for the ferengi daily event even tho they are clearly listed as counting in the event.....

[rigid rover]

Check known-issues.

👎🏾

[lusty lava]

Complaint on the scoring for the last COTA spend event:
Why doesn't using the REFINERY > MATERIAL CONVERTER count towards spending? In every other spend event converting counts.

[lost osprey]

Just cancel this arc and the remaining five. You guys tried but failed. Give us six months Faction Hunt and Borg Cubes instead

[olive cape]

I mean, they could just lower the ims stage 3 requirements by about 90% and it'd be content we could do. Its only ridiculous because of how many they want us to run.

[rigid rover]

There's not enough active ppl on our server to get anywhere close to this. Let alone ppl that are even bothering with these events.

[olive cape]

Their numbers are going to be way off if they don't do some digging. They gave away 3 rare starts earlier this month in a comp chest, the battlepass gave some rare and epic, etc. On a normal run where most players will only run what they get from the chest pulls, servers will be lucky to score half of the 1st milestone as it stands now.

Add to that the amount of players who have given up on this arc, and not only do they need to lower the IMS milestones by a lot more, they now need to entice players to try it again with a much, much bigger carrot. We all know this isn't going to be what they do. Instead of fixing the problems with it, they'll just keep running it out there like Arena, and if it slowly dies, it slowly dies.

This arc:

1. Launched with bugs. Fairly normal for them, but some months the bugs are just a nuisance, not a literal stop sign from completing multiple events like we got this month.
2. Has very lackluster rewards. There's a few decent things in there, but overall the rewards are much weaker than WoK and other recent arcs.
3. Has incredibly high grind requirements to access small amounts of those lackluster rewards.
4. Did not allow for partial grind towards partial reward, like WoK did. If you don't grind like mad during these 4-day events, you don't get squat.

These mediocre rewards would've been fine, if the new content to earn them was a smaller loop/feature. A slower arc with less to do (and less rewards as a result) would likely be met with a 'meh, but sure' response from the community. Instead we got weaker rewards with much harsher grind and time constraints.

Also, something like the fleet preset should just be a quality of life inclusion. Most games do not charge you the price of a full game, or more, just to access an interface improvement. Putting it behind a massive grind is not a 'fun' progression item that players will look forward to earning, like we did with Khan. The Flashpoint event store is just incredibly weak overall.

[craggy gorge]

Not to mention that they made the hostiles so difficult that it is impossible for anyone in the low 40s to score, let alone complete, these events regardless of officers or ships you use

[inland goblet]

So, geniuses?
Maybe instead of setting milestones at random, out of thin air, it's time to turn on your brain and think?
Oh, wait... You need to have brains for that first! Ahem...

[thorny wedge]

It’s only another $11k in $50 packs for server 86 to complete stage 3

[sinful heart]

Sad thing is, there will be those that actually try and do just that. 🙄

[wheat walrus]

all ships being recalled for maint?? Are Scopley refunding tokens? I have had a ship in token space for long term mining since before the announcement that ships will be recalled.......

[copper shadow]

yes they will and scopley will take that as a win that the arc was met with great enthusiasm and milestones was reached because 5% of the 226k active players currently in game shelled out a mortgage to beat stuff every month.

[queen kindle]

What server?

[flint oyster]

That can't be right

[heavy ivy]

Should have suggested re running old arcs people enjoyed again, you know from years past 😂

I don't think they issue is just active people tho. I am a pretty beefy ops 60 and yet have to blow all my buffs to be able to do the epic for my ops level. Most 60s on my server that I know of have to do the same to punch down.... on the rares.... releasing content with the expectation that it will be super easy in 6 months is 💩. People get turned off fast when stuff is too easy true. They get turned off a lot faster when stuff is impossible for them and they have to hit way lower and then can't claim any rewards. I would say this arc is achievable for about 2-3% of your player base. Most i have chatted with have just said screw it and given up even trying. Also releasing a part two of the arc to make the part one of an arc achievable is a extremely dumb idea. It was hated in the last arc and it will be hated again this arc.

[errant wind]

Good job scopley , Ferengi pass , mine 364.78 m of transogen
Then in battle pass run another master surveyor to complete that , you guys have lost the plot ,

[elder tide]

Can anyone explain to me why in a token system, my runner would restart after being parked for 6 hours. But just mine, no one else in the system have their runner reanimated

[humble sleet]

Randomly happens at times, seems linked to node reset.

Another theory is when someone kills your original runner, it respawns sometimes, unlike normal

[novel mango]

I had that happen as well, so dumb.

[elder tide]

I understand your concern about the Suliban Runner attack. These hostiles typically appear during special events like the Flashpoint series and are intended to add an extra layer of challenge. To help protect your resources, we recommend keeping an eye on your miners or having a ship ready to defend them when needed. For any other concerns or inquiries, don't hesitate to create a new ticket. Thanks for your time!
CS suggests this is a feature, however this mechanic isn't explained anywhere, I could have finished the ridiculous Transogen Rush event with the following 6 hours of mining. I would like my token back.

[grizzled dome]

They were serious about the timeline

[copper shadow]

worst part is if they wanted to do a mission tied into an event they shoulda made the event achievable by 100% of the players not 3-5% of players worldwide

[flint oyster]

Did anyone actually complete it 😂😂

[grizzled dome]

Funnier part is I didn’t actually finish tier 3,

[copper shadow]

I'm sure some did complete the mission but as for the ims ya no you'd have better luck with scopley giving you a refund on the down lo and sign an nda that forbids you from ever revealing that they refunded your money. Here's a hint they'll never give you your money back lol.

[grizzled dome]

I asked for a refund one single time for that station efficiency exocomp they push. It was promoted as up to like 500% efficiency and mine was 11%. I was denied a refund because I had already activated the exocomp that AUTOMATICALLY activates when purchased

[copper shadow]

exactly there are packs which some stuff activates right away and others where you have to manually use stuff which is great the problem is for example I bought an elite monthly pack 3 yrs back used some of the rss I had already in stock for my research yet because it added in the rss from the pack they said I used rss from pack so couldn't get refund I was like ya thats some bull least to say 2 months later I stopped spending on anything and have laughed ever since

[hollow valley]

IMS isn’t counting correctly. What a joke

[icy marsh]

Hey scopely, your RNG is broken. Its been what? 2 weeks now? I been pulling this stupid common transogen everyday, sometimes double pulls. And STILL 0 dust!

[low remnant]

<@&509690795536941056>

Well - 2 weeks of Flashpoints: SNW Part 1, and… it’s time to do a little the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The Good:

• This is by far the easiest and least time consuming way to collect artifacts. This is greatly appreciated, especially in G3 and G4!

The Bad:

• These Hostiles are rough, and it’s almost as if the expectations for what officers players have to combat these aren’t in line with where they’re introduced… how many opportunities are there for Pelia and Joachim to be sourced before G4? Not many… and Joachim is going to require folks to massively slow down to grind him to T1 early on. These strike me as hostile appropriate for late G4 officers introduced 15 ops too early.
• Hazards. I actually really like these, but it doesn’t feel good to not have any ways to combat them. Make the CT F2P and usable before ops 61, add some early on hazard research, add a hazard SNW officer to pair with Dchock. Lots of ways to help us puzzle through this! Please consider making the experience not something we have to fight through for 3 generations of economy. A new ship for this isn’t really needed… once you get to ops 45 / transforge 45, the weekly token pull is good enough to not warrant a ship.

The Ugly:

• Flashpoint Events are the WORST part of this update. They suffer from impossible milestones, invading entities that aren’t scaled reasonably for players at their level, and are just overall far too grindy for their rewards. These aren’t an enjoyable experience running every single week… Doubt many players want to interact with this a ton for the next 5 months.

[late orchid]

Hey scopley how's that flashpoint going? Looks like no one will be finishing stage 3... again... go figure? Maybe its about time you actually start listening to the player base...

[dreamy solstice]

where are we supposed to keep getting an infinite supply of transwarp tokens for aquatics when they keep getting the 30% (100%) chance of deploying their weapon, 5 times in a row now they have had the 30%/ over the 70% chance of deploying, getting outrageous, odds in reality do not work like this, unless your cheating and have rigged the game

[short pier]

Just want to reiterate for what I'm sure is the 900th time how much this transogen mining stuff sucks. It wouldn't be quite so bad if it wasn't for the absurd milestones on every transogen mining event, but having to repair and re-send every 30 minutes, wait 2 minutes to get there then juke a chaser again, and come back in another 30 minutes... Is just yet another game mechanic that requires entirely too much attention paid to what is an increasingly mediocre and unsatisfying game to begin with. For mining mind you, which is already the least interesting game mechanic.

[sinful heart]

Oh Scoply most definitely uses “weighted” rng. Anyone who tells you differently is outright lying to your face.

And yes, I would say that to their face.

[elder fern]

Really? ONLY uncommon+ G6 mats score? I just got here bruh 😭

[slender narwhal]

It has been like this for the whole arc I did also go to 61 and do a spend event. Had over 90 mil with g5 for points worth to spend but had to spend it anyway on the ROT to grind higher LV faction and both new hostiles.

[low mantle]

What about research to delay go home gun? And puch up crew that kill hostile fast?

[thorn belfry]

Watch scoply blame the players for not being appropriatly strong enough to do the ims even tho it has nothing to do with power and everything to do with the design, tuning and engagement.

[lucid idol]

I actually suspect the IMS being unattainable is intentional... they mentioned in the preview that it "will shape the galaxy and make permanent changes".... what's the bet that the change to the galaxy thing (whatever the hell that meant) doesn't work, so they're making sure nobody finishes the IMS so we don't see that whatever they had planned doesn't work (just like the rest of the arc)

[shadow trellis]

It will shape the galaxy as no one will go there after all this

[ocean crypt]

twice now you've made the ims event out of reach, even for cash members, what sort of mugs do you takes us for, give you hundreds of pounds cash or even thousands for some stupid little event that pays out even less, you lot really need to re-think how you want this game to go, because even cash members are NOT paying you that much cash for nothing

[tropic folio]

Just ignore the battleships and hit the regular ones

[dreamy solstice]

would be better, when ships left the system, that the frozen augment chasers would actually disappear too, 6 frozen and no players to go along with them, prevents the respawning of hostiles, mainly explorers

[limpid basalt]

Finding this arc very boring. With the chronicle Ascendent being a paid event and the flash pass being too much a of a grind so not worth doing there isn’t really much to do

[sleek urchin]

What kind of Hurak event is this again? Shoot rare and epic Hurak everywhere and then you don't get a single one when you pull. Events that can't be completed are so frustrating. Shooting without end and then only a chance? What am I even doing this for? And no tokens in sight either. You can play this crap yourself soon. I'm fed up with the endless grind for nothing. 🤮 👎 💩 ps: Oh and then the pull also has a cool down so that you don't shoot and fetch anything again, how clever! 💯 👎

[runic meadow]

Well, that’s your fault for not getting there sooner😂😂😂

[sonic robin]

Seeing the popularity, quality and stability of this arc I'm thinking of a different reshaping of the universe which will just be them deleting it

[errant wind]

Boycott it , useless waste of time

[slender narwhal]

They can see how many are boycotting the event but they don't care. They should double all rewards and points getting and cut the IMS in 1/2 also then they will see people actually finishing it

[hollow valley]

Love how the buggered scoring for stage three screwed players who defeated their honor guards and vanguards at the correct time in the IMS, but the systems were coded incorrectly.

[wheat pasture]

Mastery Artifacts not counting for the daily SLB 🙄

[runic swift]

is the Xindi event fixed, or can we just call it a lost day and move on to the next broken event?

[random dagger]

<@&509690795536941056>
Any clue as to why as a G5 player (current Ops 52), I am getting 4* ship parts in my battlepass? I have been G5 since the end of May, so it is not due to a recent ops progression. Any insight is appreciated.

[molten marlin]

Because uncommon g5 ship parts are not available until ops 53 in the refinery

[proven sparrow]

Yet another IMS we failed to get past stage 3

[chrome abyss]

Doubt there is a server in the world who could

[supple surge]

This entire arc is just so incredibly stupid, it is astounding. The proudly display this garbage as if we should be thankful as they ruin the game. We have had 3 alliance members quit in the last month, and many more contemplating it. Scopley has managed to put the final nail in the STFC coffin.

[late orchid]

There was one tryhard server that got to 61% done on stage 3 and only 1 other server that got over 50%...all other servers (that even got to stage 3) were under 50% complete

[serene jetty]

I find myself unconsciously ditching the Flashpoint tab entirely. I dont even bother to check which undoable event is there anymore. Am I alone there?

[chrome abyss]

Dont despair new ship inbound to make hostiles easier (not the hurak though)

[coral herald]

Bad events . you need to live in the game. just awful. more and more grind

[proven sparrow]

Ive had a few members quit aswell, everyone justsee this as scopley trying to milk as much as they can out of everyone before they announce they are discontinuing with the game and moving onto a new project

[subtle nest]

first month of arc is always to introduce issues to cause frustration and anger so they can sell you solutions next month

[cold sandal]

Most members of my alliance don't even bother to engage with this current 💩 at all anymore. Only basics (daylies etc) get done, the rest gets ignored- we hate wasting hours of our time for pointless grinds/lousy rewards.

[hollow valley]

Broken counter mechanic.

[short pier]

Honestly Scopely, if you told me someone was secretly working to discourage players from going up in ops because they were disgruntled, I'd believe you. It's amazing how much the game punishes going up in ops even while you perch on the rafters clamoring for people to push ops more. I went to ops 51 last week. Suddenly you spring a brand new "G5 only" spend event I don't have a prayer of completing. So this has now become the first arc in 2 years that I will not get any of the new officers from. This is my reward for doing what you want and going up in ops? It's hard to believe you're accidentally this good at consistently punishing players for doing what you want them to do.

(Good thing SNW Scotty is garbage anyway lmao)

[proven sparrow]

I've not enjoyed the game since going past ops 50, im ops 60 now and ready to go into G6 but im not becasue i rather not spend my whole life grinding to met bracket goals. I dont see why they feel the need to make targets so high that you end up having to quit work IRL to work in the game for no money

[outer dome]

chronicles meta slb I guess noone is going to catch up

[dark horizon]

the player that has 600k pts is not even on my SLB and if he wins whatever SLB he is, then he is going to beat my meta score, the SLBs I lost are to players that are not even on my Meta SLB. ... such bs

[outer dome]

i won every single day

[novel totem]

Dear Scopely. You failed again to design the ARC's main events (AKA Flashpoint IMS events) so servers are actually able to complete them. I did say this a week ago, I did say this when 2nd wave these events were launched, and I'm saying ths now as they have concluded. No server was able to complete them. Most servers didn't even reach 25% of IMS#3. This is taking the last breath of fun out of the game that was left.

[dark horizon]

Yeah, I noticed that. But for my case, i went up in ops (from lower 50s to mid 50s) and for whatever reason it appears i changed a SLB bracket but not the other one ? I have no idea how that works since I didnt change from 5* to 6* and there are people scoring on my meta that were not on my daily SLB and people scoring on the daily SLBs that are not on my meta. The whole thing is a mess. Support shrugged their shoulders and told me to eat dirt pretty much.

[elder fern]

#Trashpoint worst arc ever created on any game ever

[outer dome]

SLB brackets are different throughout every other ops level. but only new slb are affect, once you start a slb, you stay in it..

[upbeat harbor]

What genius schedules 2 flashpoint mining events on a day prior to maintenance that recalls all our ships making tokens a waste; not to mention during the Arena where all ships are also recalled to our base.

[wheat pasture]

I mean... the same ones that schedule arena to run on the same day as Mining Monday since it was introduced? 🙄

[viral kayak]

Enough of this Hawktua's and Trashpoint, fire who's idea this was and fix the known bugs!

[modern spade]

This is events feedback
Well done / who cares? Are you in temp? 😂

[late orchid]

And to the absolute surprise of no one... no communication from ops/devs/community managers...

[upbeat harbor]

the only negative feedback i can really give are the IMS milestones. I'm an ops 60 which seems to be one of the sweet spots for Flashpoint. Other than the 200% hazard I have no problems killing the lvl 64 hostiles. Oh and the hostile cap. I autogrind in constant fear I'll hit the cap, two types of flashpoint autogrind + the augment one... The cap is stupid but if you're going to keep it at least give us a progress bar or counter or something to keep track.

[viral kayak]

Care to share a screenshot of you killing the 64s at OPs 60?

[gloomy rain]

How are we supposed ot complete the ferengi event when there are no rare vanguard armadas? At least not where they used to be

[old jolt]

If you are going to recall all our ships, during a mining event that require warp tokens that we can only get every 5 building levels we better get compensation chests. Who ever scheduled this is dumb and not a player.

[molten marlin]

They'll be back on the 24th

[molten marlin]

A premium transogen token will be sent to all players that can access the systems

[cinder jolt]

What if i have mutiple ships in token space?

[old jolt]

So why not include this in the official announcement?

[gloomy rain]

^ Same with the nonexistent armadas for an active challenge

[molten marlin]

it has been added

[old jolt]

Look its the same every time lack of clarity in communication, don’t jump on and act superior these are the mistakes of the company you represent, how about being polite and saying sorry, we got this wrong

[molten marlin]

excuse me?

[slender tundra]

Still waiting to hear why the interceptor comp chest only had 790 parts when the battle pass had 1520

[wild pelican]

Still think the best solution is not to do this new arc.

[fickle peak]

some of it is ok, I don't mind mining rare transogen for the new rare artifacts, some of those are decent. but the armada stuff is a total mess as are the milestones for the hurak puills

[wild pelican]

The mining isn't too bad with a good forge. But other than that, I have little appreciation for this content.

[maiden condor]

Scopely shows absolute cluelessness of how the game is played, again. Downtime tomorrow, during LATINUM RUSH, recalling all ships to base for all servers. While a lot of lower level players do Latinum Rush by mining in G3 token space... Thanks Scopely, every time you do something, you show how completely clueless you are about what you are doing.

EDIT: Replying to below: Normal downtime does not cause ships to be recalled to base, you can safely leave them in token space for the period of the downtime.

[old jolt]

Best bet is to petition your respective governments to ban game companies from selling digital game packs for extortionate prices.

[wild pelican]

Scopely does downtime almost every Lat Rush. It's pretty common. Agreed they should set a different day for it where there's no 24hr event.

[copper shadow]

I doubt enough people will engage event if they give us the ship to solve this arcs problems for free next month since of course ship won't be useful until t2 or higher and each teir up will take 2 weeks or longer to get the ship parts cause after all its a business and gotta sell them packs lol

[dark horizon]

so am i not going to be able to finish these because i just got the directives but there are no entities up ? that makes sense ....

[upbeat harbor]

sure

[celest silo]

This Lat rush event is stale, and boring... Should get 10x - 20x more lat for stealing it. Right now, its as dull as dishwater.

........i meant 10-20x more points

[novel mango]

Stop adding new type of waves it makes it hard for us still trying to do the normal ones to find help.

[maiden condor]

In general, the whole concept of wave defence is one huge fail. Lower level players have to hope to find higher levels to carry them to maximize the number of waves, it makes no sense whatsoever to do them as for example a group of 39s

[lost phoenix]

RNG for EE space is off again.....11 of 12 failed for "30%"

[hollow sundial]

Question. With the Flashpoint events gone and the Dropships having been replaced, once again, with surveys, will there be another flash point event with dropships? Because the Seasonal Ferengi Exchange: Hurak Offensive is still running for another 5+ days and end the flashpoint exchange is open only for another 20 hours and to my knowledge the only source for the directives to start fights against the invading entities needed for the task

[dark horizon]

to put that in probability . you have a 0.00177% chance for that to happen although STFC.space description for the survey say it has 100% probability to destabilize the ship > https://stfc.space/hostiles/1527858129?c=$stats:false%26fp:false%26locs:false%26cargo:false

[alpine fable]

I hope scopely looks at these feedbacks as I think this arc has one of the largest pushbacks in recent memory

[wild pelican]

Doubtful.

[hollow sundial]

Having a similar problem, though no directives here.
and the amount of dropships to kill for a single draw is huge. didn't even get ANY directives the last 2 draws. 😦

[dark horizon]

They should definately have 100 directives guaranteed and them if they want add the other 100 or 200 as a chance to get

[lost phoenix]

You can overcome the destabilizing the ship with crews. So, yes, even though I understand the law of large numbers (having a math degree as well) having things that have less than a 0.01% chance happen often is very aggravating and is either irresponsible or deceptive.

When I see someone compliment Scopely's testing it will be a first. They have great customer support, in my opinion, to try and make up for remarkably mad testing

[dark horizon]

But have you really heard someone say that they killed 33 of those survey in a row without a single time being destroyed ? Because that should be possible as well then. But somehow the part that benefits the player never really happens in the game, its always towards the house.

[broken root]

Since most of us can't even hit suliban runners at our own level, could you please add 5* and 4*, etc canister refineries to the refinery? Im a level 64 with max ent D and rotarran and the best I can hit is a level 58 suliban runner. So the 5star canisters are meaningless for me right now.

[viral kayak]

But I agree with what you are saying

[broken root]

You still get 5star cannisters with a 60? Rediculous!

[viral kayak]

I get two of the 62's gonna have to tos & max buff to make it slightly worthwhile... 🙄🤡🤷💩

[lapis ginkgo]

Your shield is getting depleted. No morale below?

[old jolt]

Try janeway, torres and doc, with chapel, troi, quasi, kim, and borg hugh below deck. I’m level 51 and finished event in just over 1 run killing 52s

[acoustic token]

You should increase the chances or make it easier to get the chest—doing 2 pulls and getting nothing is bad design, especially when 3 pulls takes too long to farm. None of the player base is getting enough to finish the event or even come close. Almost no one can get above 50%, so no one’s going to spend money because it’s just not worth it.

[past willow]

yeah the jump from 58 to 60 on drop ships and 60/62 suliban is hard to overcome, though I hear 64 dropships are just as bad

[autumn canopy]

Arenas is such a failure now, please just kill it for good.

[lost osprey]

Do we have to spend our Flashpoint currency in the next 14hrs? Or will it carry over to the next part of the arc

[steel badger]

no cube is in here yet it shows on card, any chance to add cube bps in ???

[sharp mauve]

SCOPELY... For the love of god.. stop DOUBLE NESTING events where I have to look ALL OVER to see what is happening today

[past willow]

I've heard mod's say it carries over

[errant wind]

Who did the maths on the Flashpoint Event should be sacked

[steel badger]

yea i don't even bother to do them, cba with that grind

[feral finch]

As long there's a buyer? 🤡
There is no need for government regulations. Don't buy this expensive stuff. That's it. Gamers they buy expensive stuff they will also buy cheap ones, but more of them. So what's better for everyone. As long it's playable for free as long it's good for all.
Most if the stuff in stfc is worthless to buy, because over the time (sometimes years) is for f2p. Nowadays also the payed Battlepass is completely useless for me. In the beginning it was helpful and cheap enough. What someone likes or is thinking need to buy depends on the own play style.

[somber hinge]

So, we are in the midst of on 2 day mining event, which for many people is only doable within token system and scopely is doing general ship recall during maintenance...
everything acc. plans i guess. 👍👍👍

[broken crystal]

so will this mission ever finish?
i didnt make it to milestone 4 on the first run because it was so bad.
i did make it in the second run, but the mission doesnt seem to care?

[somber hinge]

You mean, because your ops 60 ships are are 6*, lvl 60 hostiles should provide acc.?

[sinful heart]

The ONLY way to reel in toxic capitalism is with government intervention.

And Scoply definitely needs some.

Predatory psyops against players and ridiculous pricing for what you get, with pathetic customer service. Yes, absolutely needs some “regulation”.

[keen egret]

Or, hear me out, you could just quit the game instead of going full Commie.

People are inherently greedy. Folks keep rewarding Scopely, so what do you expect?

[pulsar hatch]

Or just ignore the pay store.

[woven tulip]

It’s not milestone 4 it’s complete stage 4 of the IMS which 0 servers did, the mission is going to stay forever

[sinful heart]

“Regulated capitalism” is not communism.

It’s akin to husbandry and gardening.

[lucid idol]

Can only guess you're American if you think Socialism and Communism are the same thing looool. Government regulation is required to keep capitalism in check, otherwise you end up with the exact system we have now, where a tiny proportion of the population hoard the vast majority of the wealth

[graceful briar]

It’s not his fault. There’s a whole party with its own media apparatus that’s spent years convincing them of just that, regardless of the fact that a HUGE proportion of their fans/viewers rely on social programs for basic needs. It’s insidious.

[molten marlin]

Enough.

[sacred sail]

We should exchange the Devs with the mods... Worth a try

[sinful heart]

Nah, he’s cool. Heck judging from past interactions he could be sarcastic with that (or quoting what folks have said here for the last 6 years) But yes, here in the states we are manipulated from birth with baked in ideas on money and worth. Been that way since the colonies.

So I don’t fault them. I just try and speak reason at the level that affects them.

[opaque hawk]

well, crap, fell asleep early last night, didnt get bp, done and am about to head to work, dont have access to one of my accounts other than at home

[tidal rampart]

I don't know why this game is still under maintenance you should have been lifted a long time ago

[gaunt wraith]

This is the way.

[copper shadow]

well its back up now but tbh prolly worked faster when it was actually under maintenance than it does now

[haughty quartz]

what is utterly disgraceful is that they have merged our servers eu 118-121 today and as its the last day of the chronicle of the ascendant event have combined the 2 servers scores so we all loose out on officers shards. thats me level 68 done with this game, another shambles.

[worldly cedar]

Well they must of tried to fix the lag, now worse.

[civic sphinx]

After maintenance the hostiles are reset also, while its still possible to refine them. I was expecting the hostiles where still there as long as you can refine them, or at least that sounds logical. Now not happy because i cant finish the battle pass event, i really needed the pull 😔

[high aurora]

Not running alliance tournaments within the arc month when G6 can use their choice tokens to complete tasks is a surefire way to get them to engage less in Alliance tournaments if you decide to run them between arc months. No, you won't make more money running them between arcs. Get that thought out of your heads right now. We will just engage less.

[odd dock]

@near saddle hi friend, please can you tell me if theres Alliance Tournaments this week ty 👍

[knotty acorn]

Whales are whales out of addictive behavior. It's like asking alcoholics to stop buying alcohol from a liquor store with a toxic owner. The only way whales stop spending is to quit as they don't know regulation. It's all or nothing.

[idle parcel]

Someone suggested yesterday that other things mined should count, especially all the new stuff we have to mine. That way, entire servers aren't clogging up token and C lat spaces.

[pastel wharf]

This has been one of the most bungled and disappointing arcs of my time in STFC. The only loot I can get from runners are 3 star I can’t spend, all the 4 star stuff is so powerful I can’t kill even one. There is no grind form me. I can kill even kill a few Hurak ships, but that doesn’t drop the right materials. Basically, because I upgraded my building, the event was over for me several days ago. Why don’t you at least have a 3* to 4* exchange mechanism in the refinery?

[supple berry]

<@&509690795536941056> hey just a random question are there any patch notes for what changed last night if anything ?

[dawn moon]

Why the hell was my mining ship pulled off a token rare transogen node?! At least reimburse those people with thier token back!

[junior juniper]

yesterday, after the last CotA event ended, i was in 2nd place for the overall SLB. So, how is it 24 hours later, someone else goes up roughly 400k points when the only point options are 1 pt each?

[spiral veldt]

it was in the announcement that went out that all ships would be recalled. also they said they are sending out a transogen token for all eligible players.

[rigid rover]

All the complaints on here from people simply not reading the announcements.

[junior juniper]

from my personal testing, the flashpoint was tested for a reasonably equipped 4* ops 50 player. As an ops 46, i could barely kill a rare 45 entity (about a 45% chance).
Once I got SNW Scotty, I was able to kill 5 R45's 0 R50s and 0 E50's. As an ops 46, i had nearly zero research left, almost no buildings left and a max'd out pilum. Definitely not your average player.

A brand new Ops45 who just gets the events would literally have just a 4* uc ship There is almost no way they would be completable. Same/similar experiences for Ops 51 and 61.

[analog flax]

MU run day 3? 🥱

[silver briar]

This was my experience as well. They clearly didn’t test this arc or last for our ops range. Same complaints ignored by scopely.

[ruby lion]

Need more balance in the amount of tasks we are given each day. Some days it’s way too much. Others days very little.

[dark horizon]

so any plans to bring the honorguards and vanguards back before the end of 5 days for those that did not havea chance to get the directives to complete or we skewered ?

[queen kindle]

A 3rd run starts in 2d.

[tawny falcon]

Another kill mirror hostiles event? Feels like the 3rd one we've done in the last 4-5 days.

[maiden condor]

<@&509690795536941056> Could you please confirm that by design, this event is not available to players level 39 and below, while it is available for players 40+, as part of Scopely's blatant attempt at trying to force people to push ops so that they then struggle and have to pay for packs to build up their ships and catch up with buildings/research? Cause I don't have this event at 39, neither do other players below 40, and it was confirmed that players 40 and above have it.

[feral finch]

If you read the sentence between the lines, you would understand.
Don't pay anything to someone who hurt's you, especially if it's only a company. So it's not necessary to call the big brother of regulation. The best regulation is the customer. And it's also faster than any law or regulations are set up - mostly this needs years.

[runic meadow]

3rd times a charm 😂😂😂😂

[queen kindle]

An influx of scotty shards should make IEs easier, but all the servers were so far away that I don't think that'll be enough without further reduction in MSs.

[sinful heart]

I agree. With an educated and sane mind.

That unfortunately does NOT describe the masses.

[knotty acorn]

This is idealistic and impractical in many situations. It works if there's market competition but that isn't always the case. Additionally, if there's collusion, it can yield ineffective results. Idealistic principles don't always work out in real world situations.

[jaunty island]

Apparently you guys did not listen to the feedback. NOONE wants to have to kill 10k flashpoint mobs at 1 or 2 pts each. It sucks and its boring and uncreative. Until you get rid of that, the event is going to suck. Making it a solo milestone doesnt make it suck less its the same. Maybe you guys should try playing the game and grinding for 6 hours for bad rewards. Not to mention your asinine 2K kill limit. You guys are in desperate need of a clue, and we're trying to give you one. But sadly you NEVER listen.

[woven kettle]

Thanks for the flashpoint invasion changes. I hope the scoring makes IMS doable. However, I’d like to call specific attention to the REFINED transogen requirement. Do the powers that be realize that is limited to refinery timers? I hope the scoring required takes that into consideration. Unless it is a not so subtle requirement to pay for packs to complete?

But again, I appreciate the attempt at a more drastic change. I hope this one works out

[bitter anvil]

Would like to see how long the hazard exocomp will last. That could make it much easier also

[waxen mango]

Perhaps in the future, you will create arc events that can actually be completed as opposed to this recent one where not a single server in the world had managed to accomplish. Perhaps make your money some other way than the drain us and force us to buy armada starts to complete a series and move onto the next stage. Right now there should be a big sign in the conference room that says "ARC FAIL". Too much needed to do, too few resources given to do it with, and benchmarks no one who is playing the game can meet. That's how you lose dedicated players because they feel defeated instead of a sense of accomplishment so they will continue to play.

[void light]

Looks like a decent revamp for the week but I am disappointed to see no mention of a hostile rebalancing. It was acknowleged now nearly 2 weeks ago that hostiles at certain levels are way out of balance and needed to be adjusted and so far they havent been. Its nice scoring is changed but i want to kill what drops loot I can use not just punch down

[subtle nest]

Why rebalance, its the players fault according to scope

[left marlin]

@full swan Thx for the update. And appreciate that Live Ops is at least trying. But still haven’t addressed some glaring issues

Are at least some Vanguard directives gonna be guaranteed from Targ Tag turn ins? Was one of the most obvious and egregious flaws from the start

Shouldn’t mining events come first? Start with the easy then ramp things up as we go?

Rewards overall need to be buffed. Part of the angst is the overall feeling that the juice just ain’t worth the squeeze. Fleet Presets are a convenience thing and imo mainly for hardcore PvPers for Arenas and TC combat. The rest of the Store is either meh or easily sourced elsewhere

[subtle nest]

the amount of time spent compared to the reward makes it hard to see any enjoyment in doing any of the flashtrash

[subtle nest]

Some of the most challenging mobs to kill in the game and yet the rewards are horrible

[indigo cliff]

With all due respect to game dev, Live Ops can go pound salt. Community Managers like OH can try to put lipstick on a pig, but.... I don't care what changes you make. The content is unengaging, and I won't be participating. It ain't fun, I ain't doing it.

The most depressing part, is that we have the rest of the year to look forward to this...

Guess I'll be concentrating on Exile content, though that is only marginally more engaging.

[idle parcel]

Yeah, I just went to ops 63, where almost all my upgrade stuff is sigma. Scopely thinks I'm going to be desperate and buy packs for their hard to get speed ups. Nope. I'm just playing parts of the game I still enjoy. All this excessive new stuff is not fun at all. Huge fail, even according to the "feedback."

[woven kettle]

Exocomp might help mining but you still only get 1 refinery attempt per day. And they're saying scoring is off of REFINED transogen, which is what you get from refinery. So that's the problem. Any given person has very limited contributions to make, by doing their refinery pull. Which is further limited by how quickly the server can progress to stage 2 where refined pulls start scoring

[placid veldt]

No hostile rebalancing, no lower tier spending rewards... it's too little too late! If this is what the rest of the year looks like, it's seriously looking like it's time to find something else to play!

[jaunty nacelle]

Agreed, I’m already trialing a few other games.

[maiden condor]

Give transogen tokens daily to all players like other tokens!!!

[shadow trellis]

Doubt there would be enough systems for that , just chaos instead

[earnest thunder]

I don't know who develops the events for you, but it is simply flawed if you can get tokens in an event which is free to play that you cannot redeem without money for a Ferengie Elite pass. Now I have these tokens and can't do anything with them. You're just a money-hungry company, the community complains, and the response from support is, "Buy the Elite Pass and close the ticket , that's just not nice.

[fading veldt]

<@&509690795536941056> with the event changes what's happening about the mission that we can't complete 'Flashpoint 1:Repel Hurak, chapter1'?

[molten marlin]

The mission is being changed to reflect the new IMS

[shut quartz]

How about token compensation for miners being recalled from token space mining of the transogen event.

[vale harbor]

How about additional raw transogen compensation for the lost cargo

[trail solar]

I assume retroactively all events will be max completed and we will be compensated.

[shut quartz]

And event rewards missed out on due to the recall of all ships to base

[icy marsh]

@near saddle APAC 187, all ships just got recalled back to base, including tokens. No maintenance today. What the heck. Wasted how many hours and tokens? How are your coders this incompetent to accidentally double recall???

[copper shadow]

I learned a long time ago a phrase that has served me well over the years playing this game are you ready for it. Takes a breath "working as intended" this phrase was used often in the past when players would make a comment on aspects of the game and now I just laugh when things mess up or miners are recalled to base with no reason and not by players and just remember the reasoning that was given a long long time ago in a stfc game that actually functioned more than it ever does now

[spiral veldt]

the reason the majority of players dislike the event is that the rewards are lackluster and they need to be very strong for their ops level to kill anything close to their ops level. The exo's being added to get around the hazard and for bonus damage are a nice start. However, the rewards are still very lackluster. Unless there are additional rewards added that help with existing bottlenecks then players will continue to skip the content. If the chests had officer badges in them then people would be more likely to want to do the content. The directives should be guaranteed and not a chance drop. The 61+ hostiles should also drop sigma speedups. For 59 and below it would need something more attractive as well beyond the tags and fkr rep. To get people to grind these 3 weeks in a row the rewards have to be good enough that someone would experience FOMO.

[left marlin]

@full swan Morning OH. It’s the last Wednesday of the Arc and that’s usually when Alliance Tournaments starts, in about an hour from this post. Do you have any news regarding AT? If it’s gonna start late, can we get an extension for when the Choice Rewards expire? Thx and have a good one 🖖

[upper monolith]

Would be shocked if AT pops up unannounced. That went terrible before, plus there is WAY too much going on to grind. Doing it now IMO would just be a money grab ploy to trigger people to spend to complete/keep up.

[sand stream]

A suggestion: remove auto attackers from token areas! Why are there auto attackers in token areas? What's the point? I've also read from high ops players that there are no auto attackers in the high-token systems, for example, the 59 system. So why are there no auto-attackers in the low-token systems?

[flint coyote]

I don't like that there is no paired SMS with XSLBs... it excludes 99.99% of the player base for no reason. At least give the non-mega-spenders something to participate in?

[royal bluff]

Incursions on a Tuesday? We'll be at work

[alpine niche]

What demented buggar decided to hold an Incursion Event at the SAME TIME as a Territory reset. Proof positive that Scopley HATES use.

[late orchid]

Seriously why can't you just listen to the player base. Hardly anyone wants a week long alliance tourney or incursions. So just stop...

[oblique ridge]

What on earth is this nonsense? No notice and timed to coincide with Territory reset to cause maximum chaos!! You’ve really lost the plot…

#⭐-official-announcements message

[chrome abyss]

Unbelievable!!!! Every server, Every player ask for less and what does Scopely give the playerbase? MORE OF EVERYTHING!!!€

[molten marlin]

It's rebranded prep events, incursions is still one day, on the last day

[gray stirrup]

with no announcement?

[worldly grove]

Why on earth would they launch Incursion when this is a MINING event, you can't MINE during INCURSIONS!!!!!!

[late orchid]

If that is indeed the case, Then maybe they need to start paying for a Grammer writer to proof read and approve their messaging...cuz clearly im not the only one that read that 💩 wrong...

[humble glacier]

So…… a rebranded incursions prep series of events?

[rose ice]

Just checking-

Are you an official community manager?

Or just an unofficial question answerer?

[visual furnace]

Right. So let's get this straight.

We are all screaming saying you're asking for too much screen time and now you add the Incursions prep events .EXTREME EDITION?

Another week of spending events are you guys really needing cash this much?

Nobody asked for this, very few people like incursions anyways so why make it a bigger pain in the lower back parts than it needs to be?

The I guessing ATs will conveniently appear right after the choice tokens have expired?

#GamesAreMeantToBeFun

[dark horizon]

and no, im not paying $20 to use the rewards i won - similar to how I'm not paying for TV to watch commercials

[gray stirrup]

<@&509690795536941056> If you want people to pay for packs, pull your collective heads from your collective keisters and listen to what they want. Otherwise, you'll tank your business.

[shadow path]

#⭐-official-announcements message

Awesome prolong the most hated event to a week, what a genius idea. /s

[chrome void]

more proof of that is putting newly merged servers into incursions with only a week of starting to adjust to their new norm

[sweet valve]

Funny enough I love incursions. I detest arenas for the horrible matchmaking and extra heavy grindy content like WoK and trashpoint.

[dark horizon]

They need to distract from the dumpster fire arc, and how better to do that add something that is more hated than the fail. Because now we can talk about the Incursion and not the IMS

[rose ice]

<@&509690795536941056> our alliance is accustomed to Crucible of War running ahead of / concurrent with Incursions. To stock up on shields

Any word on if that will run before or after?

[safe flicker]

<@&509690795536941056> is there any plan to increase the amount of nodes in the transogen token space? 24 is way to small for a whole server since they are all taken most of the time

[visual furnace]

Did our ships know this was coming and started to recall themselves because they don't want to play anymore? 🤔

[alpine niche]

I don't mind Incursions. I'm finally getting to the point of being able to participate. But, to schedule an Incursion at the same time as a Territory Reset is just pure evil on Scopley's part. It's like they have a contest there to see who can come up with the most evil way to mess with us. Winner gets an all expense paid vacation...paid by the ridiculous prices of their pixels.

[coral bane]

Scopley loves to deliberately offend the community. They do it over and over and over and over again

[patent sail]

<@&509690795536941056> the new events for incursion are again such a bad event planning. We had the same events last week for Scotty as SMS and SLB and now you doing the same events again as XSLB? Who are you thinking will be spending there?

[humble glacier]

This whole month/arc has been nothing short of a disaster. And you’re piling on more events on top of this ordeal.

From what I can glean from the write up, it’s an enhanced week long prep. Literally no one who likes Incursions even asked for, let alone the ones who don’t like and participate.

PUMP the brakes on these roll outs. Heck, slow down on new content even. I’ve been saying for years we should be focusing on making the game more stable, building on things that already exist and not whole new content and IP. No one listens.

[sweet valve]

Yeah, well, the "finale" is past when people recover

[amber wyvern]

Week of Incustions ... I think I am done ... what a stupid move.

[untold zephyr]

no it is 1 day pvp event.
It is just the same as last week only a xslb so a nope from me

[mighty arch]

week long pve tho

[chrome abyss]

Also well done Scopely!!!! Again incursions on a different day!!!! Fair😡. Wish you did that with Arenas. As Everyone asked for a million times

[quaint night]

So. A week long events full of spending events and a pvp event on a normal work day again.

[flint coyote]

yup!

[modern spade]

Nice . PVP finale will be happening on a work day, and mostly while some are still in the process of capturing territories
Just sick and fed up to the back teeth with the complete lack of thought and communication that is piled on top of utterly incompetent execution. 😡

[dark horizon]

Giving incursion event notice the same day it starts is BAD. There are players that are at work/offline and in deep space thus losing their shields to something they did not expect ? Also we have miners in token space which will get hit or we lose the tokens to recall. There was no time to prep for this forced PvP.

[visual furnace]

To be clear guys it's 1 Day of PVP Incursions (normal event) with a set of super money grabbing Incursion prep events leading up to it. It's not a week long incursion

[chrome abyss]

Funny how you say that, while we are flooded with spendevents up to our ears

[visual furnace]

Oh I know. I've griped about all the spend events and their increasing aggressive tactics in terms of making people feel the need to spend.

It's really not lost on me. I think the medium of text didn't convey then venom in which the "super money grabbing Incursion prep events" was said with

Plus the fact that they seem to have really started turning the thumbscrews by not allowing previous grades of mate to be included in spend events is disgusting

[wise rapids]

Who's terrible idea was it to make it so all of the events for 61+ ops players only count g6 uc and rare resources? Seriously ops 61 and 62 can't participate realistically and doing this sort of thing isn't going to get us to spend to get higher to be able to participate, all it will do is make people quit.

[dark horizon]

As the Q&A determined, its player's fault they can't participate in events. #GidGudder

[crimson ravine]

Thanks for the week off richard head!

[alpine widget]

My personal experience with this arc and with many of the arcs in recent memory is that too much new stuff is being dumped into events all at once at the beginning of the arc.

This arc, we had two or three different sets of grinder meta events starting up...all of which seemed to require hours of active work to complete each day, plus the Boldly Go event. It was so much, I just shut down on the new stuff and focused primarily on the Boldly Go events. With the hour or two that I have each day to play this game, once I figured out that the new hostiles were over-powered for their advertised level (unless you happen to have whatever pay-to-play thing has been released in the last couple of arcs) and that the mining rate on the new rss was abysmal relative to refinery requirements and event milestones with no way to park a miner due to the system hazard, I just said, "Forget about it."

[coral bane]

Seriously? An XSLB with such crappy rewards?

[pallid bloom]

Blog and in game update schedule shows Hidden Influence XSLB on July 24th but it's launched today already

It's basically the same issue like Artifact SLB / SMS is not the same as published schedule either which someone already asked yesterday but didn't see any response Scopely

[coral bane]

‘Heroic’, as in Heroically attempting to grab more from the community’s cc?

[brisk bough]

XSLBs? Who even bothers?

[visual furnace]

That's exactly what it stands for

[spare yoke]

Incursion on a weekday.
After a week of spend events.
No thank you.
I guess 10K players in 6 weeks was just the opening bid?

[true tulip]

<@&509690795536941056>
Server 121 and server 118 were merged on Tuesday. Diue to merge, META event leaderboard that we have all attended has incorporated users from both servers.
As a result many players who performed in event got significantly lower or no rewards frim event.

Service desk team is contradicting itself with 3 different outcomes:

1. please have your missing shards, we added them to your account
2. that was inetded, it can happen you have server merger on the way, it’s not our problem that your rewards are halved
3. You did not add score after merge so you should be happy to get any rewards at all

It’s deeply inaccurate that rivalry results are impacted by YOUR administartive decisions.

What is more you declared a certein budget of rewards per both groups of players and merge has effectively halved that budget while you kept all money spent by players along event run.

Please get this together and provide necessary support for players on server 118.

[next garden]

Why is there always time to announce new store packs, but crickets for genuine concern from the players?

[jaunty nacelle]

(Less rewards +/= less progression) = more spending from the players - this seems to be the formula that is in place now. Notice how Fixing bugs, QOL, general player feedback are not in the equation... to be clear, they never were... they were placed in front of you to give you the illusion that they cared about you, your opinion, and your experience, when all they actually care about is how much money they can pull from you.

[frank osprey]

Do we now have 2 missions that want players to reach stage 4 of the Repel Hurak Invasion? Didn't the they remove stage 3 and 4 or at the very least removed one of them so now there isn't a stage 4?

[bold rain]

🍿 waitin for the storm

[coral bane]

I lost confidence in scopley doing anything for the community years ago. They only care about their own, very deep pockets.
‘Support’ isnt worth the name: ‘b*gger off with your issues’ would be much better, because thats how we are treated constantly.
Its time the app shops should be informed about the far below minimum standard this game is and should be pulled for gross incompetence. But apparently they use our money to bribe them to keep being downloadable

[dark horizon]

Give them a few, they got to get it together.

[sand lintel]

so.... The events today for Ferengi Exchange want me to kill 5K worth of Augment hostiles in OLD augment space which is fine, but you basically decided that the only augments that count are LVLs 25 and below... which creates a super bottleneck in augment space and basically you are lucky if theres 2 or 3 to kill at a time because of all the auto-levelling players... can you PLEASE add more higher level OLD augment hostiles to kill since you SUPPOSEDLY want us to kill hostiles at our level... but in this case you aren't letting us?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!!!!!

P.S. this has been a problem for weeks when you are running this copy/pasted event structure

[mild ore]

Some glad you have made every event a spend event now, really getting tired of this game sucking the fun out of it.

[novel totem]

Dear <@&509690795536941056> ,
dear Scopely staff,

honestly I don't know if I should give my feedback here anymore as it clearly isn't heard or taken into account which makes me a bit sad. You frequently say in your interviews that you sometimes don't get it right - at this point it seems more like you always get it wrong.

Today you announced the week long incursion themed event "Shattered Alliance" that name couldn't be more ironic given how many players in my alliance disengaged from this arc (or from the game).

That being said, the week long incursion event is just another huge fail. I understand that the "real" incursion only happens on the last day, however don't you have people to talk to? Content creators? Player Council? Random guys on discord? Everyone would tell you running 5 XSLBs w/o paired SMS is a joke. I for my part will just ignore these events, my in-game bank is dry anyways after last week's heroic SMS party - which I kind-of liked.

So even that whole week long incursion event is destined to fail to begin with on how it is setup and structured, you even don't take the "quick wins" like opening the incursion store to allow players access to the exos for a week.

I know it, you know it this month is a disaster content wise. This incursion-XSLB week just pours fuel into the fire (just look at this channel).

You could have run Alliance Tournament with an improved store (as it gets a bit old) but you decided not to. You need to understand that players expect consistency. If something changes (like no AT on week 3 in the arc), players would like to know this in advance. Same goes for this incursion-nonsense. Announcing it 2 hours before it starts either completely devalues your customers or it was a rushed not thought over hot-patch-in, where even I could have thought of 20 better ways to give players something to do.

I won't go into more details about incursions or AT as both "loops" are vastly irrelevant for me at this point as their rewards, events rarely get updated or improved.

You have to do better than this. You have to listen to external sources who actually know how players will feel about this stuff.

[hard sentinel]

So 0 warning on a massive week long spend event that is just a rehash of the one that ran last week? Dropping a week long cross server event without notice so we can plan our daily pulls is rediculous. Furthermore, rerunning the same suliban runner event day after day was old last week and we are tired of it. Really hope this isn't all that was planned for this hurak nonsense.

[glass vessel]

<@&509690795536941056> 707 on bye again? Third time in the last 6 months!

[green tendon]

More XSLB's like we asked for🤦‍♂️
I feel another big fail incoming.

[scarlet escarp]

<@&509690795536941056> whens alliance tournaments coming?

[dark horizon]

that was not supposed to start till tomorrow ?

[cold sandal]

I wouldn't mind that- my server's never been on a bye week ever since the very 1st Incursion and I hate Incursions.

[maiden condor]

Hello from Scapely!

We’ve got a brand new, totally exciting, never-before-seen event for you! It’s exactly what you’ve been hoping for! After getting over 1,000 comments about how much you hate incursions, we took your feedback seriously… and gave you another incursion! But this time, it’s got a thrilling, completely unique PvE prelude that drags on for a whole week!

We know how much you absolutely love grinding endlessly, sacrificing sleep, ignoring your job, family, and basic hygiene just to stay competitive! So in addition to two overlapping battle passes and the current arc, we’ve added even more PvE grinding -- just to crank that pressure up and remind you that 24 hours simply aren’t enough!

This is an amazing, never-before-recycled event! You’ll build more buildings, research more research, upgrade more ships, blow through more resources you don’t have, and of course, spend all your precious latinum just to fight not only your own server -- but another one too! Twice the pressure, double the fun!

And once you’ve emptied your reserves? No worries! For just $99, grab a latinum pack that’ll vanish faster than your hope! It won’t help you climb, but it will remind you we care -- by pricing it sky-high and stuffing it with as little as possible!

Yes, we at Scapely deeply listen, truly care, and are here to squeeze out that last dollar before you wise up and leave!

Scapely, the finest devs money can’t trust!

[novel totem]

obviously it was meant to start today as thaving the meta with no XSLB makes 0 sense.

[dark horizon]

When compared with the amount of things that make sense with this company ? /s

[waxen totem]

Big 👎🏼 to Tuesday incursions. Why do you keep moving the days?

[glacial dew]

The previous arcs allowed me to get all new officers, but this arc feels nearly impossible, even with the help of a treasure chest, which clearly isn't enough to build anything. I'm really disappointed overall.

[dark horizon]

where exactly could one find the L52 Suliban Runners ?

[crimson ravine]

Meh ... ops 70 and can't build jack .... for the event anyway

[untold zephyr]

just a quick question how are we going to do stage 4 ?

[outer wigeon]

Ok, the station special/event is really nice if you need it. Kind of useless for those already at 70 especially when we get a new currency for G7.

[molten marlin]

the missions will be changed to reflect the new IMS coming

[lean peak]

Never ever Link missions to events again this is just stupid casual players can't do it.... Bad game Setup and real bad planing

[subtle nest]

casual players aint expected to do most the events lately hence 5 hostile grinds today 😛

[ripe forge]

it's also very unnecessary. The rewards for those missions are worthless, and if they wanted to have a special awards for event completion, they could have just added it to the event rewards or made a meta event.

[frank osprey]

I'd really like to see player involvement metrics with these Hurak invasion events after the past 2 weeks.

[plucky glacier]

Why are all the SLBs this arc so poorly structured? All the SLBs for mining transogen and killing sulibans ranged an entire generation. Ops 42s competing against ops 50s and only 25 people get any reward? And now XSLBs with only 25 spots? What's the point of competing if you're not at the top of your generation?

[lean peak]

Doesn't matter if rewards are low I just like doing missions but don't have the time for every single event. Trying to force people to spend more time in game is a good way to just chase them away

[gusty bronze]

There should have been some warning. Especially for those of us who put up a 7 day shield in our regular base systems and had no idea the incursion was happening. This means I need to log in, which I was not planning on doing until next Monday, to move my base. This is ridiculous

[idle parcel]

What's better than one, massive grind event in 24 hours? Two massive grinding events, combined with a couple other grinding events, because, you know, people don't work or sleep or have friends or take time for other things. You're taking the Mickey.

[slender narwhal]

With the g5 and G6 now in different brackets what about G6 players 61-69 and G7 70 it is already hard enough that low 60 can't use any more g5 materials in events

[pliant yew]

this is so BS making a mission that can't be completed unless you do the event.

[molten marlin]

Mission will be converted to the new IMS

[scenic flint]

<@&509690795536941056> we really need this BP event to be completable via archive claim. There is literally no reason to hit any of these hostiles once you have all 4 ships associated maxed and archived.

[pliant yew]

doesn't matter, already lost interest in the arc

[true tulip]

<@&509690795536941056> another player just got a NO answer to raised ticket and got answer that did not even include explanation on why you decreased his reward as an outcome of administratove decision. It's unbearable low level of customer servicing,

[true tulip]

And another case. Congratulations!

[full swan]

pinged you for more info

[faint torrent]

Am I stuck with this story mission for forever? I keep trying to inform support about this. All they tell me is how to complete the story mission. I can't complete it when the events are no longer active.

[molten marlin]

The missions will be updated for the new IMS that are coming

[true tulip]

Delivered excessive information.

[faint torrent]

Thank you.

[royal geode]

I am having a bug with the independent archives - how do I submit a ticket about it? the Chat bot you access thru mobile is a cluster...no way to really get past the bot to actually raise the query - issue wasn't found in the FAQ/Help

[finite pelican]

Please add actual system where players can score points as not all xindi hostiles count dispite what the description says

[idle parcel]

What a complete and total 💩 show this has been for the last few months. Then, today, you add a week long incursions spend event with no SMS and no warning. Bravo. 👏 Just the exact thing we've come to expect from the new Scopely bosses. 🤦 🙄

[mild ore]

No material from events, no progression with constant spend events is not going to get me to spend.l, if it continues into the first week next arc or even the week between arc events I'm out, I started playing this game two month after launch and never been so dissatisfied with this game.

[halcyon tinsel]

So the Ferengi Exchange Hurak Offensive event that’s going on for 3d 18h more is based on armadas that only spawn earlier during all that stage 1-4 BS? What’s the point of the event still being up for 3 more days?

[molten marlin]

because it'll be back tomorrow

[mild ore]

They are back tomorrow

[halcyon tinsel]

Thank you. Also forgive my ignorance on the hurak stuff. With the arcs these last 3 months I haven’t bothered with this one much

[floral hound]

It is so discouraging seeing events that reward SNW Scotty shards running at times when he cant even be used! There are no Flashpoint 80% of the time, why is there an officer that works for ONLY Flashpoint!? Demarco works for ALL invading entities AND ARMADAS. Please fix SNW Scotty

[idle parcel]

Soooo, let's just say, for the sake of argument, that most people playing the game have FT jobs and a life outside of work (wife, kids, friends, pets, etc).

He gets up at 7, gets ready for work, has breakfast, and is out the door by 745, and has an hour commute to work.

He starts at 9, has lunch at 12 with coworkers, and leaves at 5, and gets home by 6-615, where his family, who haven't seen him all day, are expecting his attention. He has dinner, plays with his kids, who go to bed by 8.

Now, he has alone time with his wife, after a long day. He starts to get ready for bed by 9-930, then logs into his game for the first time and sees 4 plus hours of grinding he has to do, along with opening all his chests, which alone take an hour. He wants to be in bed by 10-1030.

Where exactly is he meant to find the time to complete all your excessive grinding events?

The developers have completely gone off the deep end with unrealistic events that are tough to do even for someone who has the time.

Games are meant to be fun, not a drudgery that takes the commitment of another full-time job. Scopely has killed the fun out of this game.

If that's what your goal is, then cool. At least tell us. Otherwise get your collective heads out of your backsides and start listening to the players, who are leaving the game in record numbers. People aren't going to keep spending money on a game that sucks the life out of them.

[dull birch]

Any plan to let players utilize the MASSIVE amount of transogen canisters that I accumulated but can't spend because of my level? I have 5.1M 3* canisters I can't spend....FIX THIS

[hardy niche]

This game is tailored for retired people because they have more disposable income, unlimited free time and are easier to manipulate. Not to mention younger people aren't that into Star Trek.

[devout blaze]

So, I now have 2 Flashpoint missions which I cannot complete because they require reaching Stage 4 of the Repel Hurak series, which no longer exists? Huh?

[jaunty island]

Soooo no tournament then? I have this really cool idea. It's called planning and sharing said plan with your customers. See the goal is you don't just drop nonsense on us that we've had no time to prepare for. Additionally, we don't save up materials for events that aren't happening - but you guys are too lazy to plan ahead and tell us about. So you guys are bad at making a game, bad at math, and bad at planning. The only thing worse are your communication shillls or lack thereof. There is literally no reason you can't say Tournament will be this day and Incursions this day. It's getting really really tired with you dropping things on us with no notice. Bad events. Bad rewards. And my FAVORITE. hours and hours of grinding each day for rewards not worth the 8 hour grind.

[versed grotto]

They wont share anymore. They are tired of people saving up to finish tasks than spend money to do them. This just proves they are in the final money grab stage of the app. Yes this is an app people. They will pull the rug on us all in a moments notice, no warning, another is nothing you can do about it

[cinder flame]

Seems like the event store that had the Choice Officers and mats/rss closed early. Can we get that back?

[molten marlin]

which one is that?

Only thing that is missing is the flashpoint store, which will be back tomorrow

[cinder flame]

it was the one with the choice between officers from MU, ENT-E, and the 3rd one was Voy I think. each one also had choice between dil/crystal, gas/trit, parsteel/ore. I thought we had 2 more days. Others from my alliance were also surprised that it was gone.

[molten marlin]

That's still there?

[cinder flame]

yes, thats still there

[indigo cliff]

Dear Live Ops, any word on what I'm supposed to do with the "Flashpoints" missions that, to the best of my knowledge, no one completed, that are clogging up my mission inventory, or are they just going to sit there? For example, Repel Hurak Chapter 1, Hurak Invasion Chapter 1, Hurak Invasion Chapter 2, etc.?

[molten marlin]

They'll be updated for the new IMS tomorrow

[tawny falcon]

The AE numbers for hostiles still don't make any sense. At ops 58 I have 12m points I need to make and the hostiles near my level that would allow me to complete the event in a reasonable time are 33b str. I guess I should not do these until I get a Reliant?

[indigo cliff]

If that was the answer to my question, thank you Arsenic, and my ire is not directed at you.

[indigo cliff]

The Reliant will not help you, for a good, long while, with that. As has been said before, you will need to be strong for your Ops lvl to defeat the AE hostiles. Ops 56, here, and can finally farm, in a reasonable timeframe, AE 52's. The Reliant will require substantial tiering, to be any help. It will be most useful in farming reputation, to be able to buy the favors that will help most.

[obtuse shuttle]

Best idea ever. It ranks up there with the Flash point event.
Reset the territory season and then hold an incursion during it.
Wonderful idea.

[novel mango]

Remember when these were top 100.

[alpine fable]

Caviar ain't growing on trees. Times are tough for scopely too. They probably had to cut down to, what, 4 meals a day?

[summer torrent]

its the mak'ala store the third had vael/dajash and others

[fluid lotus]

Why do I still have to do these battle pass events for things in the archive? Like why doesn’t the archive just complete these events for me

[viscid thorn]

Not that i care or plan to finish it, but whats the point of the heroic suliban hunter event? Cant pay to finish it faster, most people need to kill more chasers, than spawn in 24h. You guys really dont know what you are doing this month.

[fluid lotus]

Hm. I’m F2P. Ops 66 and I have had a ship in the system all day afk grinding levels 60s and I’ve finished it. If you start late you are kinda screwed sure

[queen kindle]

The archive's not meant to speed up bp completion. It's there to reduce the upkeep of older loops. By reducing the upkeep, they make room for players to engage with new loops.

Bp events should probably be considered as a method to require daily activity in the game--an important feature for live service game makers.

[viscid thorn]

Ops70. The 65token only has 62s runner...would need to kill 1600. The next token system is 69..they spawn 68s. They just kill me. There seems to be missig something in between. The 62&64 normal system only Spawn 62s too. In the 66+ systems is Hazard to strong to autogrind

[fluid lotus]

If I’m online and collecting the archive I could be doing some other loop instead of the loop that has been archived just because they can’t come up with good events for the battlepass. But nope I had to spend 10 minutes doing a loop I haven’t taken seriously in like 1+ years instead one of the 5 new ones

[maiden condor]

Just your daily reminder of this XD

[austere fiber]

Scopely… The onerous grinding of this arc would be a little less onerous if you at least awarded the full points you say you’re going to award.

[molten marlin]

was it an actual runner, or transport? because that's the score for the transport

Oconel is transports, not runners.

So the points are correct.

Runners spawn in the rare systems

That is a common system.

[austere fiber]

Fair enough. Just saw that in the logs. I keep seeing runners in the rare where I’m mining.

Still. Uselessly complicating the issue. I need to grind 62 and above… and my reward is the red headed step-hostile

[mortal tartan]

We had a server merge, TC reset, then incursion all within 48 hours. Fun times that was

[fierce belfry]

If kill Exile events are going to continue to run, can things be adjusted so that people without a reliant don't fill cargo 5 times or more over the course of killing the necessary number of hostiles that they can kill?

[drowsy junco]

Are these dates wrong ?

[sacred goblet]

yeap, like pretty often

[twilit merlin]

Rare systems I have been in are still independent traders

[molten marlin]

They are the chasers

[twilit merlin]

Ok so where are the Suliban transports for the event

[molten marlin]

I told you, they are the chasers

[rigid crown]

<@&509690795536941056> Any update on when the next Alliance Tournament happens? Hope it‘s not cancelled with all the recent changes

[ashen notch]

From what I've heard, this upcoming Wednesday. Supposedly some very desirable items will be added to the store.

[sacred goblet]

realta bp?

[ashen notch]

Given the trend of the arcs this year... possibly.

[weary solar]

Nah, they'll go all in and add USS Vengeance blueprints for Ops 70 players. Max five per run, for 10k credits each. So in only 200 months, you'll be able to get it F2P. 😜

[novel mango]

Sounds like
Server 33 lol.

[mortal tartan]

Nah Reg Barclay shards

[keen lance]

Breaknews new Exo is USELESS! Active for 4h and gone forever after.

[last lance]

And I think the cost for that Exo is outrageous. I ground out three hulls worth of hostiles to get enough for the chestpull for directives. I got 50 MU dust and ZERO directives.....so maybe tomorrow I can run a single Hurok Vanguard. But I dont see how I will be able to complete the Hurak Invading Entities SMS, and at this point...and after the third run, Im thinking Scopley doesnt want this to be completable. Values in Trasnsogen mining, so ill focus there.

[left marlin]

Still no guaranteed minimum Vanguard Directives from the Targ Tag turn ins. The biggest structural flaw of Flashpoints still not fixed 🤦‍♂️👎

[woven yew]

91k with hostiles only counting for one point. Yes now armada's count but still this is pretty brutal XD We asked for less grind and this is not even close to less grind.

[woven kettle]

This event is poorly described. I beat a rare (1 point per damage) in one round. 100b+ iso damage on a single hit. And across two weapons, 9.67b regular (non-iso) damage. Here’s my score that happens to match my regular damage over entire round. It does not include iso, which is not stated in event. And it adds over multiple weapons / hits, also against event description.

[mortal tartan]

Rookie numbers.

[last lance]

Wow....server 20s IMS goal is 105.38K

[floral folio]

Incursions: I am usually top 10 in everything incursions. Thank you for the considerations around 7/4. However, Tuesday is a heavy meeting day at work and after work. I am going to have to stay shielded and miss everything incursion this time. That doesn’t feel like good engagement to me. Can we start doing these on weekends again, please?

[mint finch]

Welp, no surprise. Trashpoint events are still terrible. If yall don’t lower the freaking costs for the Targ Tag Exchange, this is going to be abandoned content

[grand fulcrum]

why you guys taking a big dump on 2nd place in this SLB? 2nd place is normally about 2/3 of first place rewards

[naive folio]

Are you flippin kiddin me.... Stage 1 for my level, I have to kill 64.5k hostiles in 3 days.... That's not going to happen!!!!
Way to go Scopely
🤬👿😡 👿

[molten marlin]

It's an IMS, which means your entire server

[naive folio]

OIC now, ty ... Whew

[sacred goblet]

not enough hostiles to hit ....

there is not enough hostiles in 58 system...

[naive folio]

You know what though.... I'm the type of player that does EVERY event possible.

But after multiple go-arounds with these hostiles, I have absolutely no interest in killing any of them anymore.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way, good luck with the participation rate.

[dim acorn]

I seldomly post things on here, but I feel the need to express how far off the mark Scopely has been the past couple of arcs. People have lives, they have work, family, obligations and often use the game to unwind, have fun interacting with others etc. The amount of time it took to claim chests was obviously too much and Scopely finally added the claim all feature. A nice add, but it was still not enough. It was a step in the right direction along with allowing the archives to remove some of the other grinds. This current arc has negated all those nice new features. Participation and engagement across our server has dropped. People are quitting daily. Time to focus on your player base before you lose whoever is left to other more enjoyable games. As it stands, STFC is not it.

[chrome abyss]

Again; make Scopely employees do this stuff themselves BEFORE releasing it. Vanguard and Honorguard directives are way to hard to get, refinery gives close to 0. In short; Impossible , not only the IMS!!! Also the newly added exocomps are a joke and simply insulting, only running 4hrs and a cooldown so they can only be activated once in an entire Flashpoint, be ashamed off yourself 😡

[queen hearth]

flashpoint still sucks.

[clever sail]

Why does the new Flashpoint IE SMS require me to do way more vanguards than the old one

[subtle nest]

Flash mobs are toughest hostiles in game, most all players have to punch down to grind them and yet the rewards for this is pathetic

[subtle nest]

did my sms, not bothering with vangaurds since itll just waste directives and not bothering to keep going for IMS when i can be grinding the grindofkahn or FKR instead

[low remnant]

<@&509690795536941056> I want to re-emphasize this post now that the mega spend of all resources is being included in incursions. Since these are the revamped incursions, is this the long term plan now?

Can we please please please get more variety in what we can spend on these?

Thanks!

[idle parcel]

As others have said, the combat Exo is useless. It made no difference as to being able to hit higher level ships.

There are ops 66s and even a 70 hitting 56s and 58s. Then, there's the 9 plus million needed to exchange for a CHANCE to get directives.

What kind of ridiculous nonsense is that?

You STILL haven't listened to the players.

We STILL don't want to grind 4 plus hours just to get enough for that horrid exchange.

You haven't peeked our interest in this terrible event.

Instead, you 💩 all over our complaints and gave in just a little.

This event is still not doable.

How much clearer do we have to spell it out for you that this event is hot 🗑️? 🙄🤦

[idle parcel]

Yeah, I've seen several players many ops higher than me punching way down. This whole thing is insane. I'm not even going to bother any more. Getting enough for the exchange is terrible in itself, then add to it the insult of maybe getting a pull for 1 directive adds insult to injury, after grinding all that 💩 and getting nothing.

[modern spade]

Lol… payoff has halved for the Hurak grind SLB, while length has doubled(?) to 4 days…
22.5k reward for top place in a four day grind SLB is a sad joke.

[dark horizon]

are these auto-activating ? If so can you REMOVE that ? I would think players need to be in control of when to activate the exos

[subtle nest]

we spent most this month tryin over and over on this flushpoint failure. Its done, not bothering with this content anymore.

[frigid dagger]

<@&509690795536941056> @full swan @near saddle
Why are you asking for feedback when nobody is listening? I am fighting your BS help-centre to get a compensation for the exact same event and reason and which is given to others but is refused to me .

If we complain here, we don't get a response. And if we try to contact you directly, we find out that you block us ??????

Feedback : many things are broken, and how ever often we point it out, there is no initiative to fix them. On top of that the help-center is pretty useless, as they are not helping, they appear to be focused on helping the least number of players and just brush most messages aside. Moreover, different "helpers" say and do completely opposite things.

[misty jay]

@full swan @near saddle
3rd Flashpoint, and except for the beginning of the 1st one (where there was no rares respawning), there has been 0 epic Hurak at lvl 50...
I wouldn't mind hitting epics if there were any 🙂

Am I the first one with this feedback? 🤔
Maybe it's localized to server 125, but still, no lvl 50 epics at all.

[fluid lotus]

Still haven’t changed the cost of the event chests or how it works

[arctic herald]

Idlepoint. Better name.

[obtuse shuttle]

Dear <@&509690795536941056> should it seriously take an ops 48 twelve separate attacks, that's 1200 directives on top of the cloak cost, to kill a hurak Vanguard. Then to only get a mere 1250 credits from the mega chest. That blows seriously.

[odd dock]

Im liking the fact that incursions now has a PvE side to it (as as ive always wanted), now we just need to get ppl to pve whilst the pvp is happening

[runic arrow]

I thought the Hurak chests were always supposed to payout some directives, how are we supposed to progress if we don’t get directives and have to wait 22h for next chance?

[molten marlin]

not guaranteed

[idle parcel]

And we are not guaranteed to do them. 😂

[warm kestrel]

This month’s event structure has convinced me to fully adopt Scopely’s ship release model, whereby I don’t engage in content that is less than 100 days old.

[floral hound]

Three pulls in a row without ANY directives. It is very frustrating to spend hours killing flashpoint, DAYS in a row, and just NOT GET ANY DIRECTIVES. I'm done with this.

[wild pelican]

You can always buy them for $99.99 😂

[subtle nest]

and then fail the armada

[idle parcel]

Scopely employees are wringing their hands in anticipation.

[civic warren]

As a ops 52 player my 4* epics should somehow compeet with 5* epics since there are level 60 players in the same SLB bracket! Please put more though in the brackets!

[wild pelican]

Their lobes tingle at the idea of prooooofit.

[obtuse shuttle]

It's a chance. Best to buy 2 and you might get some.

[boreal coyote]

My last 3 flashpoint pulls….. no madas! Super fun!

[brazen latch]

The scaling of the hostiles is insane. The jump from 58 to 60 is giant. I do not know anyone in 60 to the early 60’s able to actually handle the level 60 hostiles. There is something extremely wrong in the scaling.

Also if an exocomp is going to auto active it should say that somewhere. I have no idea if they overwrite the existing exocomp or if it’s just completely lost but there needs to be warnings.

[subtle nest]

the jump from 54 to 56 is same, from 311m to 1.6b

[visual holly]

they are in the glave gamma 52 system

[misty jay]

Well spoted, thanks mate 🥳👍

[turbid hamlet]

This is across MULTIPLE servers??? Not the usual 2?!?!? Why arent the rewards reflective of THAT level of competition??? That's 20 EPIC shards of D'Chok... 20!!!! over 4 DAYS

[fast sonnet]

Same on all servers....very frustrating

[fast sonnet]

Nvm...missed the post about Glave Gamma

[sinful heart]

Because they are misers. I have yet to understand how there is anyone, employees included, who have good will for them.

They still haven’t figured out flashpoints yet, still tuned way too hard, and refines are a joke for the amount of effort needed.

I have met street thugs who treat their users better. 🤨🤔

[dreamy solstice]

GREAT BIG BOLD WARNING would have been nice for the 2 new exocomps for hazard resist 10% and flashpoint damage 1500%, THEY AUTO START, no point in claiming them once a week , unless your ready to mine transogen and kill flashpoint hostiles

[keen egret]

There's a lesson here for Scopely, which will be completely ignored.

You can't push people to level up ops by increasing materials, then not give the corresponding ship parts, and then make events that require better ships. This isn't going to make you more money. It's going to shrink your customer base. I realize this kind of thing has worked previously, but you've pushed things too far. Adding bugs to the mountain of 6 year old bugs isn't doing anyone any favors either.

But you do you.

[toxic wraith]

Why increase requirement for hurak entities in SMS, from 9 rares OR, 2 epics.
To 10 rares OR 3 epics., how is that easier to complete in 4 days, with no guarantee on directives sourcing.

[runic meadow]

They have increased the requirement, because they hate the player base. How dare we not like the new content.

[inland sonnet]

To further the points made above about unrealistic milestones for these new events, the transogen mining events require just under 300 hours of mining from me - that's on top of a few hundred hostile kills for the same event bucket, on top of mining standard gas/ore/crystal, on top of daily tasks, on top of missions, etc., etc. This is a game... games are meant to be enjoyable and leisurely... not a second job. Considering Scopely are clearly pushing people to spend hard-earned cash on the game, you also get the feeling that we're being pushed to quit our jobs and play 24/7... Can't have both

[shut geode]

For low and mid tier (61 - 66) ops G6 players remans very time eating event😡

[slim osprey]

Repel hurack chapter 1

[proven sparrow]

Flashpoint: Hurak Domination Mastery - Regional SLB

Changing the event to a SLB that is registers by "highest single-hit" instead of total damage done is the worst thing you could do.

For 2 reasons, Firstly you kept the scoring for rares 1 point per damage and scoring for epics 4 points per damage. So depending on your RnG for being able to pull epic directives from the chests. anyone that gets the directives wins

Secondly, the damage the Hurak Vanguards/Honorguards is SO high that unless you can ramp up your damage so high that you can kill them in 1 round preferably before they get a chance to even fire all their weapons. you are dead which means that all your officers that ramp up over rounds are rendered useless.

We have special "invading entity" officers that are completely useless against these invading entities because they take x amount of rounds to actually build up

[obtuse shuttle]

This new rendition of Flashpoint is so much better. You did excellent to listen to the community and even offered a nice anonymous survey to be able to hear more.
You made the ims so much easier by making dropships count as 1 point each again, something twice now has changed to 2, and included the vanguard and honorguard, targets that can only really be killed by those that have paid into the game heavily.
A regular ops 48 with an invaded crew needs to hit a rare 45 vanguard 12 times to even get one kill. It is the absolute best ever. Please make the grind hard, especially after a grind heavy event like the previous one. Make the armada targets stronger, you should have to mortgage your house 5 times over before killing one. I know you have kids to send to college. Let the community pay for it please.

[inland apex]

Were these auto activate? It does not say and I collected them yesterday without noticing if they activated or not. I do not see them in the exocomp inventory.

[molten marlin]

they do auto activate

[inland apex]

nowhere on them says auto activate, where the ones in the Transogen refinery do say auto-activate. Guess ticket time.

[proven sparrow]

Says in Yellow

[heady glacier]

Do a clear localization. It’s 1 rd now. No iso. It changed

[proven sparrow]

and didn't reset the scoreboards? 😂 Still 4 points per damage done to epics

and again, either u kill them in the first round or they kill you so its all pointless

[heady glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/dont-shoot-the-messenger-david-spade-dennis-finch-just-shoot-me-just-a-messenger-gif-16383861

[inland apex]

look at any exocomp and they have the yellow tag

[hollow moat]

they broke anyway just activated then sent out miners they are half dead from hazard

[proven sparrow]

k then yeah it shouldn't have auto activated. When i collected mine i didnt expect it to auto activate. but seen the yellow writing and was 😡 then had to rush out to kill armadas

@hollow moat What area are you mining as the hazard exo is only 10% so in the low systems your still going to get 10% damage in the 62+ systems your going to get 90% to 190% hazard damage

[hollow moat]

52 area really seems like no diff at all

[heady glacier]

Dam70`s 🙈. That’s insane damage even divided by 4

[jolly hound]

<@&509690795536941056> has anybody ever answered where the syndicate events are? Those were a huge source of the premium mirror dust that Scopely took away with zero notice or heads-up.

[sacred goblet]

cause there were a huge source of the free premium mirror dust it's is been switched with something which actualy can make money

[jolly hound]

I feel like every week with STFC is just:
"Breaking News: We've found more ways to take the fun out of the game and make the players miserable! Tune in next week as we euthanize Tribbles!"

[heady glacier]

They added the premium dust to this hurak event store. That’s probably why they cut it

[jolly hound]

That's not really a valid response, in my book. Especially when we know everything is money driven.

[heady glacier]

It’s the reason why unfortunately. Money. They won’t allow us to max those quickly free 😂

[spare creek]

Double pull and no armada starts. Take RNG out of it!

[neon bane]

[short pier]

LMAO you guys really sent out a push notification for a crappy XSLB? Are you trying to get notifications turned off?

[bronze holly]

Insane

[plush axle]

When do we get events back in which we can spend previous generations of resources? Have ships waiting to be upgraded and scrapped in order to ops up.

[versed grotto]

You mean the middle one

[short pier]

No they sent one for this incursion XSLB lmao

[frail skiff]

The other day I was in the Flashpoint Events Store and downloaded a Flashpoint Damage Exocomp and a Transogen Hazard Resistance Exocomp thinking that they would go in with the rest of my exocomps and I could use them at my discretion. 3-1/2 hrs later I was startled to find both of these started immediately after downloading . Right idea but wrong setup. Change them so they store away or I will never [urchase again

[idle parcel]

Yeah, Flushpoint is a complete disaster. The only improvement they can make is deleting it off the map and never offering it again. Our server still isn't done with Stage 1. 😂 That says it all right there. The absolute kicker for me is the insane amount of reds you have to hit in order to maybe get directives for those nonsense invading things. I know some here did several pulls and didn't get one directive. It's like how to say they want us buying packs without saying it.

And yes, this mess, combined with the bugs that never get fixed, the deafness of staff towards complaints, and purposely frustrating players even in regular play, definitely says this game has started its flushing descent into the rubbish bin of closings. 🚾🚽🧻🪠🗑️

[idle parcel]

That seems to be the theme here lately. They expect us to buy a lot of things lately just to complete an event.

I remember when waves came out, then solo waves. At first, when there was a wave event, they'd throw us a few extra directives. Not anymore, and the sourcing for them is horrible.

Yet, whenever there's a borg event, they give us extra tokens, though I have too many already.

Besides so many other things wrong with Scopely, they lack consistency within the game.

But, yeah, their motto lately is, "Bleed them for every last drop."

[real sun]

I'm Ops 43, and have several ways to spend 4* transogen canisters in my refinery. Yet when I hit a Subilan transport, I get lots of 3* canisters with no way to spend them.

Whom at Scopely thought this was a good idea?

[upbeat crater]

168 has barely got 3/4 of the way with stage 1’s IMS. I wouldn’t be surprised if no servers completes it at all.

[novel patio]

We are supposed to hit higher hostiles than we are able now...

...but to be able to do it, we need those new officers and the new artifacts.

It's a basic formula - create challenge, offer solutions and offer payed ways to speed up the process.

It worked well before, but I think they've over estimated our abilities or just don't know them. Especially for people starting in new grade (like you at ops 43 or me at ops 62), it's just too much 🤷‍♂️

[novel mango]

I don’t even know what level my server is at and I don’t care that’s how bad this arc is.

[halcyon tinsel]

I think it’s good feedback to not put ships on a ship blueprint tab in the event store, just for that ship to not be a choice in that tab. For example showing the Borg cube on the Ship Blueprints event store tab for the ferengi tokens.

[real sun]

Even with my best ship and crew, a level 42 Suliban is more than quadruple my power, and destroys my ship with me barely putting a dent in any of it stats.

[mossy breach]

have it a reason that the Battlepass Event from Flashpoint is 1 day shorter than the Hurak Invasion ?

[vast goblet]

It's not just the hostile strength, I can kill the hostiles with my ship. I play slow and steady and have a 1.2bill Sanctus at Ops56. The issue is the insane numbers needed to grind out a single pull for absolutely terrible rewards and an Rng that rarely awards the solo directives. Just isn't worth the grind

[topaz abyss]

Don’t forget too many event tasks u can’t get done in a reasonable play time. 3 battlepass tasks plus the arc tasks. Plus ticket events and dailies. And don’t forget all the clicking to get your daily goodies. WTF. Scopely

[mossy breach]

@topaz abyss you feel like a Dog in a Ball Pit

[languid ice]

Ferengi overflow rewards includes premium opportunity chips that can’t be used unless you buy the pass. That’s BS. <@&509690795536941056>

[frank osprey]

So fun having an event that requires me to kill armadas and not able to do it because some one who DOES NOT PLAY THE GAME made this a thing. Fire the person that made this a thing. Fire the person that signed off on this being a thing. Fire the HR person that hired both of the people that made this a thing.

[earnest grove]

Hey Scopely, are you kidding me? I had a Cerritos and exo going and I still died. I have to have my Titan and Lorca buff to kill these? I’ve been playing since it started and almost all my research is maxed. I’m not normally one to even complain, but this is ridiculous

[gloomy rain]

Ops 48, buffing with all I can. Got most relevant research for my level and should have a decent crew and BD. Still barely scratching the 45 armadas. What a joke this event is!

[keen berry]

I mean, if a lv69 cant beat lv63 solo armadas you KNOW you have issues scopely

[static onyx]

<@&509690795536941056> was it intended that the rewards for this flashpoint slb got lowered again?
e.g. rank 1

• run 1 22.5k
• run 2 45k
• run 3 22.5k

[fluid igloo]

Pretty sure the last one was an xslb

[sacred sail]

60B iso crits from a 63 armada... After one months of "we listen to feedback" <@&509690795536941056> you are liars.

[heady glacier]

I do the 66 epics. 3 per hull. Ops 69. They’re not that bad 🤷🏻‍♂️

[vast goblet]

3 exos, Cerritos, titan and Lorca's fist for 1 armada. Not even enough loot for one pull

[heady glacier]

Those crews are hurting my eyes 🙈. If you are going to max buff……….

Obviously I didn’t have Scotty then, or Gwen would have to find a new job 😂 Doc would have been better, but I was testing

[sacred sail]

Maybe press accounts for testing have 20 max Fortis per day...

[low mantle]

<@&509690795536941056> stage 2 ims dont count points, or there the s such lag i need to wait for refinery results?

[heady glacier]

I have to wait till tomorrow to get another max Titan boost. Every 2 days just like everyone else. I just know how to use them 🙀

[grave charm]

Swapping trasogen for refined transogen for IMS does not work!

[toxic wraith]

Bit laggy ATM, refines that count raw transogen and cannisters only provide loot, refined transogen which gives the score, it's an ims so scores will take a few mins to process

[static onyx]

no the xslb had more and is an regional slb now

[toxic wraith]

Regional slb based on most damage done in 1 round, probably designed at start of arc and put on a shelf

[static onyx]

just normal damage, not iso

[toxic wraith]

Exactly...just ignore it, am g6 not gonna get top 25 v every other EU server

[sacred sail]

People need it also for kremin, waves and other things. Not everyone is spending 1000+ on this game.

[copper shadow]

only the people that matter to the company ilmephax or least thats how it feels but then again those ppl are prolly already maxed in dust research and other things

[toxic wraith]

You can get away with the mini fort. Which will activate research you just don't get certain bonuses from the ability

[heady glacier]

That’s when you have to decide when and where to use them. I certainly don’t use them on waves. I do g5 ones. Not wasting a titan on g6. Same with krenim, I just step down to 68 instead of max for 70`s. Sacrificing is part of the free path.
As far as premium dust goes, I never spent a dime on it. But I only do,pve ones. It’s more important. Prioritize

Beat Scopley at their own game

[lime prawn]

I didn't notice the IMS2 score change when I did my Transogen refines and I'm not receiving rewards as my server hits the milestones, any chance it's not counting bulk refines in scoring?

[heady glacier]

Supposedly it’s delayed scoring

[rigid rover]

Any information on if incursion scoring will be the same? I haven't seen any followup yet. Thank you.

[heady glacier]

All we know so far

#⭐-official-announcements message

[molten marlin]

scoring isn't changing

[fluid igloo]

what about this then? sounds like a change in scoring to me 👀

[dim acorn]

Another spend event where g6 can only spend g6? 😂 I can only laugh at this point.

[halcyon goblet]

it's an XSLB, so i do not bother at all - but it could be worse, it could be an RSLB ...

[dim acorn]

True. It’s just very limiting to anyone who is new to G6.

[viral kayak]

Communication would be nice on Alliance tournaments when the * are they

[sand geyser]

No one liked that dot meme

[feral quarry]

Yup, I haven't played the game in 2 weeks, I heard they were fixing the '6-star only' SLB so I logged on today... and now I'm logging off again immediately.

[arctic wadi]

Thank you scopely for once again ignoring our feedback. It is yet another proof that you either spend hundreds euros a month or you might as well not spend any, so I think I will stop spending my measly tens and find something better. Probably after years on the same game, it's even better.

[woven kettle]

There’s no SMS accompanying the XSLB, and the XSLB is the equivalent of 100 epic shards instead of the typical 200 shards. So you’re expanding how many people are competing - XSLB - but gutting the rewards. Why..?

Additionally, you’re still preventing older generation spending, but rewarding older generation officers via the tokens. The tokens are amazing, but they’re still for older officers. You should allow older generation materials to be spent for them.

[heady glacier]

My initial guess was that damage will count more in the overall score than before 🤷🏻‍♂️. So one server can raid a whale, while the other server can make it up by killing them 🤷🏻‍♂️

We’ll see

[obtuse shuttle]

IMS stage 2 is Awesome. In order to even score you have to refine transogen. So anyone that has already done their daily refine is SOL. It's wonderful.

[crimson arrow]

Scopely: We are listening to your feedback, we even want you to take time to fill out a feedback survey.

Reality: The entire player base hates the changes we made to weekend materials spend events, but we’re going to completely ignore that what does the player base know you fools actually play the game we just like making fancy promo videos to fool you suckers we actually care.

As a G6 player with all the G5 research done, G5 material some of which I’ve PAID for now has basically no value as it previously had some value for these events so I’m feeling completely ripped off. Do you think that makes me more or less motivated to spend again? 🤬

[celest tusk]

<@&509690795536941056> S53 here, looks like the battlepass points are screwed up again. Can someone please look into this?

[boreal coyote]

flashpoint exchange : house hurak targ tag exchange. 3 out of 4 pulls have given me zero starts. how am i supposed to help with ims. i can score a few points, but without being able to complete my sms, why would i? it will just dampen my ability to complete my next sms. goofy..... also, i have given you all 40$ this month and maybe 10$ more for flash pass. I know that's krill numbers but when its hard to play on 50/month.....

[craggy elm]

• nonsense to empty our pockets - not with me.
• Scopely is ignoring player feedback since savvy took over.
• Normal battle pass is enough, maybe already too much for this game.

[hollow sundial]

well, the Flashpoint event is really badly constructed.
Not only do you need to kill massive amounts of hostiles, hours of mindless grinding, in order to even get a SINGLE chest draw, then you don't even have guaranteed directives for the invading entities.
Got now no directives for the third time in a row. so much for doing the Ferengi part or the Flashpoint part.
💩

[carmine nacelle]

Ok, zero directives from the flashpoint exchange.. That makes it pretty impossible to contribute..

[clear flax]

Let’s talk about officer sourcing (yay…). Today’s event. Unless you are the top 3 spenders across 2 servers, the BEST you can do is 15 officer shards. We need better payouts if you want players to advance their accounts for this event.

[heady glacier]

Boggles the mind all the fuss over Scotty. New research soon will ensure he will rarely used in a few months

[gaunt wraith]

Hard to do the event when you get zero directives from your chest pulls LOL.

[gloomy rain]

Well that’s one token wasted. I can’t take any node as the ship repeatedly gets «cannot set course». I have restarted the game two times to no avail.

[copper shadow]

they only pay attention when we break t.o.s. or give complimenting comments if they followed us for every offhand comment we made this game might actually be halfway good like it was before savvy took over. Though they'd never admit it they're prolly gagged on nda's

[old jolt]

Are you purposely trying to get players to quit, cause well done its working, double the rewards and you might save yourselves from the losses

[pulsar coyote]

<@&509690795536941056> ok i sstage 2 of the ims broken we have tried refining transogen turning in canisters the whole 9 yards and nothin gis counting for earning refined transogen

[old jolt]

I hope people get fired for this 💩. Player interaction for this event has been the worst ever

I am happy to wait for the cool down and continue posting my views here, it is more satisfying than playing the game. Get my point? Let me guess no honest replies from anyone with any power to change things.. puppets and yes men kill the game and the community your loss not mine

[gloomy rain]

«Feedback» and reaction to it doesn’t have to mean instant response.

This arc can burn in hell though, I’ll certainly agree with that.

[scarlet pawn]

Yeah, it’s trash - heavily P2W rehashed content

[exotic iris]

Recall and cancel it, should “fix” it for you

[pulsar coyote]

has anyoen figured out how you score in the stage 2 ims everything ive tried isnt working

[runic meadow]

😂😂😂😂

[lone turret]

So did alliance tourneys and war room get held up with this new 6 month event arc that unsurprisingly contains events made up of several other events mashes together?

[cobalt hatch]

Anyone know what a blue border & change of icon to a shield means for Hurok space? Nothing has change as far as I can tell

[mossy breach]

it is blue and do thinks i don't know what but looks great 😄

[woeful smelt]

Yes for ims 2 you just do the transogem refinery daily for common uc and rare turning the raw mats into refined materials, can also get some more points doing the uc and rare cannister exchange daily aswell

[smoky rose]

Only problem is, the daily transogen refinery didn't reward any points for the IMS - yet more broken things. Same as it ever was

[hollow hinge]

I bet this happened after you froze your tail. When this has happened to me, I try the warp/cancel again, and after that I can move again. Give it a shot if it happens again

[eternal spade]

So ims 2 isn't working anyone else refined and not registered a score

[bright tapir]

Can’t finish this IMs either, least it’s consistent

[rough ravine]

Same... just put my comment on the Bug channel.

[fast sonnet]

Means your server has successfully repelled the Hurak and the hostiles should return to the normal difficult hostiles

[frank osprey]

Did I somehow miss a pass daily that was to give me the missing 3250 points for the overflow despite completing the pass?

[obtuse shuttle]

Did you buy the exchange pass?

[potent solar]

Hurak arc is hands down the worst arc yet... add the ferengi season pass to that heap of disappointment. Can't wait for the next one.... scopely claims to be trying to reduce the grind then.... heaps more grind. No wonder players are quitting.

[wild pelican]

I'd think this arc says it all about how Scopely feels about the players.

[frank osprey]

No

[wild pelican]

There's your problem. Need to buy the pass.

[frank osprey]

No I don't. It doesn't give me point towards completing the pass.

[wild pelican]

I dunno then

[next jolt]

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532>
Anyone know when the missions Replel Hurak chapter 1 and 3 are going to be fixed to we can finish them. They still say reach stage 4. We only have 2 stages now and Server 8 has reached Stage 2.

[sharp abyss]

If you’re going to give us a hazard exo comp then give it. Tricking people is not helpful.

[idle parcel]

I'm glad I'm not the only one not completing this Ferengi pass because of the ridiculous invading entities that have elusive directives, unless you buy them. No.

[neon dragon]

People on server 106 did not receive their rewards for us completing flashpoint IMS stage two. This is a complete joke

[outer brook]

Having refinery results as the final phase of the flashpoint seems pretty dumb. Wasn’t the idea that we can work together and put the effort in to overcome the odds maybe even in the last hours? Well, that does not work with a refinery. And while I enjoy the game design regarding progression, the folks who designed the flashpoint really need to play the game or listen to people who do.

[gaunt wraith]

<@&509690795536941056> daily reminder that the content from this Arc is terrifically bad.

[shadow trellis]

Anyone know anything about this

[chilly sequoia]

Probably the next cash grab for things to buy to complete the exclusive event

[heady glacier]

I’m guessing you’ll get to do it all over again with higher payouts 🤷🏻‍♂️

[shadow trellis]

Completed stage two nothing extra so guess not

[halcyon goblet]

i assume those flashpoint enemies get an additional skill, so i can ignore overtuned enemies even more

[sturdy rampart]

Only think when you finish is that you can claim this two exocomps, which are actually pointless, so it's just Scopely idea what shouold be "an exclusive rewards" but is not.

[hasty nova]

I finished my Ferengi BP and got the 2k premium opportunity chips however I cannot access that pull in the event store. I did not buy the premium BP so just want to verify that that was intentional.

[shadow trellis]

Yeah kinda of a let down

[still mirage]

what? I had them in my event store all the time 🤔

[versed grotto]

@near saddle @full swan
Since when does a battlepass overflow require you to make a purchase or rely on RNG for directives to finish an event?

This whole month has been a disaster. I really hope this isnt the new norm. Not another dime from me.

[sturdy rampart]

You had, but you get this, to be able to claim those:

<@&509690795536941056> pls extend the timer on Choice Rewards for the upcoming Alliance Tournament. Just as you did for the last week of June a month ago

Even better if they run an officer choice auction at the same time. Everybody wins

[mortal tartan]

"no, buy packs instead you poor"
Xoxo Scopely

[alpine topaz]

Look at me with 157k parts that I cannot spend on anything but this selkie at ops 61-62. Yep, totally reasonable to do not just one but THREE slbs asking for this spend level.

[boreal coyote]

<@&509690795536941056> I call BS. 85%. I am now one out of my last 6 pulls. I couldn’t contribute if I tried.

[floral folio]

Done everything I could for this event. Not sure how this is supposed to inspire future participation. Still only have epic directives from the battle pass.

[idle parcel]

That whole chest pull is total BS. It's just another cash grab, as most need to spend cash to get those directives. What a wasteful event, having us hit hundreds of reds for the chance to get directives.

[ebon crystal]

This need to be changed from "CHANCE" to "GUARANTEED" ASAP.
Players don't want to spend hours of grinding just to gamble for a prize. If I wanted to Gamble I would do a bunch of hookers without a dome

[coral herald]

Are you serious? You gave me currency that I can't spend? Are you serious? I played specifically to get it and wasted my time. Are you serious? Why did you give it as a reward for what? So that I would be even more disappointed in you?? Yes. This is...no words.@scopely

[hasty nova]

I’m in the same boat as well as other F2P in my alliance. Seems odd they would give us the currency, but that we cannot spend it.

[olive cape]

Don’t worry, the pulls were ridiculously disappointing 😆

[visual furnace]

Seriously the transogen events for the entities should not be completable based on RnG.

We should not be in a position that we have no chance of being able to complete events because of getting multiple zero directives pulls from the refinery. It happened to me last time and again this time.

Directives should be guaranteed!

<@&509690795536941056>

#GamesAreMeantToBeFun

[rough scarab]

The overlords want you to buy directives, how else they gonna justify the sale price saudis pay for

[visual furnace]

Scopely have been grabbing money in every other possible direction I think they can let this slide and at least give people a chance to complete events unless they keep popping

[lament cradle]

How should i do the event.. if i dont get any thing to open the armadas.. this is really.. boring.. if i can't do the event..

[bold fox]

Soooooo tourneys are coming back on july 30th and currently choice rewards are set to expire on the 1st at reset......are yall gonna extend the expiration of the choice rewards?

[mental plaza]

What happened to the Epic Gas and G5 Ore rewards? Shouldn't they be included in the rewards just like the Crystal rewards?
I noticed they're missing from almost every event.
<@&509691205798592532> Can you help with this answer?

[rough scarab]

Thats always been the case, no epic g5 except crystal

[mental plaza]

Seriously, I never noticed it before, but now I miss it! 😦

[visual furnace]

Sheesh Heren never look at the things that come out of any refinery or anything. Good way to get yourself annoyed 🤣

[versed grotto]

"Its designed that way" is what I was told. So basically forcing you to spend, or wait it out

[idle parcel]

Unfortunately, you're right. I complained about that many times, and it goes into deaf ears.

[idle parcel]

Designed to make you want to spend, as they make many things in the game that need those materials, then slow drip them in the refinery, if you're lucky to get them at all. Eventually, according to Scopely's hopes, you get frustrated enough to buy their packs. It's that way with Sigma speedups for those ops 61 plus.

[mortal tartan]

That's what the kid they hired straight out of marketing school told them will work, anyway...

[ocean crypt]

with all your messing about with incursions, there's confusion as to when the actual incursion part takes place, is it still thursday or has it been changed to the 29th now, could not have always have been the 29th - tuesday, when it was first posted as thursday the 31st, you lot don't know how to run a lucky bag sale nevermind and incursion or a website game, you are usless

[molten marlin]

It's always been the 29th

[mental plaza]

You're wrong, we only value certain things when we don't have them 🤣

[left marlin]

@full swan Hi OH, hope you’re weekend is going well. Saw the post about Alliance Tournaments running the day after Incursions ends. And while it’s great to see AT won’t be skipped over after all, I do have a request to make. Can they extend the expiration date of the Choice Rewards Tokens so that we can use them for the duration of Tournaments? I know it only really matters to g6 players, but there are more and more of us each day, especially after all the material spend Events you’ve been running. It’d be an easy way to generate positive player sentiment. Thx 👍🖖

PS: adding Vindicator/NSEA/Relativity Parts to the AT Store would also be grand 😉

[deep warren]

<@&509690795536941056> RNG sourcing for invading entity starts for the Flashpoint events is absolutely terrible. I cannot complete the event (even to get 10 points) because you are NOT guaranteed at the very least a rare start every time you do a chest turn-in. Last run I barely finished and then didn't receive any directives. This run, I will be at least 2 rare starts short and only have 1 epic start. You need to fix the chest pulls to guarantee at least 1 start of the rares and any other is left to RNG otherwise, give additional starts at the beginning to players to guarantee they have the ability to finish the event.

You are being nice, 2022, its seems way older

[maiden condor]

Thanks Scopely (fyi <@&509690795536941056> ) for making the life of admirals and commanders hell by putting incursion and tournament right next to one another. As if we didn't have enough work with keeping things organized for the incursion, now we're going to be stuck pushing people to do tournament tasks immediately after, as we didn't have a job and real life. Another example of you not understanding the product that you create and not caring even a little bit about your player base. Best company ever, indeed. You deserve a South Park episode about you.

[sinful heart]

Careful, small handed folks also tend to have very thin skins as well…😜😋

[toxic wraith]

I would like because makes it easy is not valid argument,
What did you do B4 choice tokens existed?
Find it strange you suddenly need loot now they may add different rewards, but only last week stated."there's nothing in there I need, why bother".

[fierce steeple]

Considering I'm op 66, I had a Max Fortification, Ceritos and Defiant buff. A 350% Battleship Damage buff, i can take 69 G6 Solos with this and barely take any damage, but these, I can barely scratch the paint.

It's a absolute joke and massive miscalculation by your game design team.
(although its clear for everyone to see they've made them impossible so you can sell us a mugfin to make it easier next arc)

[outer verge]

that rediculess invading hostile is a dmg check... do it 1st round or 2nd round you will death... the joke on top is the mass you need to grind for 1 directiv... and after that you are lucky if you can open one of thise eventshopchests... grind on mass... scoplay want to loose more player

[heady glacier]

The ships abilities on the hurak are inaccurate. They are much worse. They are not on stfc space for a reason I’m guessing. You need shred/iso/and iso D. Tom’s of it

[mild moth]

Try this crew and use the Lorca buff too. You need t5 Tolra for it. Try pike, Demarco, Tolra if your Tolra isn’t T5.

[jovial maple]

Defiant buff does nothing against them

[fierce steeple]

Thanks for the advice, made a real difference!

[tribal wharf]

I'll second that 🙂 They normally kick my ....

[fluid igloo]

Wrong pike, but good that it worked 😄

didn't even notice - did go for the "right" Pike 😂

[lament cradle]

Yay second time I took the 2x from the flashpoint exchange and not directives.. sorry scopey in my opinion this is not acceptable. I can't complete the flashpoints quests

[brazen latch]

There is something wrong with how the goals are set for the IMS. Servers 705 through 711, none of them finished even the first stage.

[untold oasis]

The Arc is now over. And that's a good thing. It would have been even better if it had never begun.

[stone quarry]

Love the Flashpoint Compensation Gift issue

[icy marsh]

So...are we going to get a comp for the comp gift?

But seriously, can't you guys get anything right?

[jovial roost]

is the Arc really over?

[last lance]

Should I spend my comp chest all at one time or spread it out some?

[thorn belfry]

Will the event be coming again, should I be saving for the Fleet Preset slot still or use currency now

[jovial roost]

it is always after you spend it all, that they come up with an event about it

[versed grotto]

As atrocious as this arc was, very little actual compensation was given...

[regal oxide]

Nice, this is a new low even for this diabolical Arc!

[frank osprey]

Working as intended I guess. Time sensitive mission that didn't get completed so remove it. Pretty straight forward.

[idle parcel]

It astounds me that those in charge of this dumpster fire still have a job. The bugs alone are enough to delete the game and be done with it. Then, with the last few months? I'm sure the game is still bleeding players away from it. At this point, it's a train wreck of morbid curiosity to see this through until they eventually close the game down in the near future, as there's no longer any fun in it, just frustration.

[old jolt]

Why is incursions before tournaments? You started a trans mining event that uses limited warp tokens to enter the systems and it only makes sense players will want to maximise that token spend.

[boreal coyote]

I got a start! The streak is over. Now please make it better than 85% cause I’m at like 15%!

<@&509690795536941056> you’re sending empty compo chest?

[full swan]

It completes the mission Repel Hurak chapter one

[low mantle]

👍

[carmine nacelle]

Ok, heard a bunch of alliance members complaining that even if they had directives the spawning of new armadas was not working. How hard can it be to copy the armada spawning from Borg solos? Copy paste..

[keen egret]

Then why not put something in there to let us know? Having and empty comp window just looks really bad.

[vital drift]

https://tenor.com/view/adam-scott-bored-sleep-snooze-gif-10511673 Scopley Events, irrelevant content and of course the ridiculous GM-AT.

[full swan]

I think on the gift if mentioned completing the mission, but I agree we should have given a heads up a little sooner.

[plush axle]

<@&509690795536941056> I see G3 and G5 bonus refinery but not G4. They turned off by the adjustments and not turned back on again?

[full swan]

Asking about this.

[languid ice]

Mod message said this should have completed. It did not. <@&509690795536941056>

[full swan]

Chapter 1 was completed, I'm working on getting chapter 2 and also chapter 3 completed for players who had scoring issues in the IMS.

[quick hornet]

What time does incursion start? The announcement doesn’t specify.

[molten marlin]

11 am eastern

[turbid hamlet]

Looks fair!

[rich moss]

use currency

[warm kestrel]

this game was fun when we could sample the goods. taking the free rare officer out of the battle pass and making so many of us wait 100 days, when the events are over and the fun has moved on, to get the ship has really killed this game's vibe.

[ocean crypt]

whats up with these transogen dust pulls, seem rarer than an invasion event, at this rate, will never be able to open the research node , when builds eventually reaches the anonymous lv needed

[delicate raven]

<@&509690795536941056> Is there any chance of extending the Ferengi Exchange a day and reinstating the Premium Opportunity Chest?
Having it close a day earlier than the rest of the store while being hidden within the store is absolutely ridiculous and a complete waste of loot.

[ocean crypt]

(scarsism), nice one scopely, put incursion on the same day borg event goes talios pvp, somehow i don't think talio's will be doing all the killing

[mortal tartan]

187 was supposed to have a bye, we just got thrown into an incursion with our pants down. <@&509690795536941056> Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

[icy marsh]

@full swan @near saddle @molten marlin WHY is APAC 187 have an incursions??? you told us we're on a bye and now everyone is getting massacred because shields are down

See? it says BYE. what the heck are you guys doing. we're getting massacred because nobody was ready

[mortal tartan]

Sidebar - they have a Server 404? 🤣

[icy marsh]

@molten marlin NO, 187 was supposed to be on BYE, not 188. 187 don't even have the incursion reward events!!! we can't even earn ANYTHING

[robust bronze]

<@&509690795536941056> “crossed” to the other server for insursion, game restarted und claims I’m on the other server yet I am not. I see hives of bases from my own server and my alliance’s territory!

[winter citrus]

188 here. The server line up say 188 vs 201, not 187. We have the xslb event with 201

[little plover]

This is how stupid scopely really are at programming

[idle parcel]

Unbearable lag, everything shoring as new, all fields showing red, ships not visible? Yes, Incursions is working exactly as it should be. 🙄

[barren swift]

Recommend that all folks on 187 demand gold shields and compensation before you get an "Engjoy the raiding" message and get screwed like 710 did.

[white edge]

Shows how little they care about the 700servers they pause this incursion while they told us to just take the beating

[sinful comet]

what is scopely doing . starting incursions again with 188 this time??? this is unbelievable

[zenith ivy]

SCOPELY we are (188) not ready now? What are you doing?!?!?

[boreal oyster]

I have the best ideas: New player here, first Incursion event for me today. I am way too low level to make any kind of a difference so I have an idea.... What if Scopely sold Victory Tokens. Victory Tokens that can push progress bar towards Victory through power of my wallet. I may be new with weak ships and no officers, but I bet I have more money than these KRAYTON nerds. Put me in coach! I'm ready to Pay!

[trail solar]

Why warroom event AFTER incursion. Scopely is taking a...

[mortal tartan]

You. Shut your mouth and stop giving them ideas. They don't understand sarcasm and will add this as a "highly requested feature".

[viral wadi]

Lmao. Do that and they'll empty your wallet. Don't give em anything. It'll end in a empty game that you wasted money on

[lone turret]

Is war room broken? It did not reset for me

[boreal oyster]

I see some of you have a sense of humor as well. I should join your server.

[stable bronze]

enough with these terrible PVP events with the forced ship.

[tropic folio]

I’m pretty sure everyone agrees that incursions are boring (as is raiding in general) and I propose to change them to something like a 24h galaxy-wide territory war - designate 2-3 dozen systems with control points throughout the galaxy with scoring nodes and whichever server mines more score - wins

[upbeat crater]

Oddly enough I've accounts on 187 and 188 and neither one of them cares about incursions.

[mortal tartan]

I can't control what your alts do and don't care about, but don't pretend to speak for the rest of us

[upbeat crater]

'My accounts' meaning me not caring.

Saying that however, given 188's usual performance during Incursions, save for the last two unbelievably, I think my assessment still stands server wide. 🤣

[grand fulcrum]

So during my last pull of the last Flashpoint I pulled a triple chest for 221 million boxes, and got ZERO rare and ZERO epic directives

[proven sparrow]

I like that you have finally split up the G5 and G6 players
i also like that top 10 can win trophies instead of just 3

[floral folio]

Having a regional leaderboard leading up to incursion. Fun. Making it on a Tuesday in the middle of the work week. Hate it. I usually finish in the top of incursions. Top 10 at least, usually one in a couple categories. This event I will miss entirely. I feel like you wasted my entire week leading up to this.

[static patio]

Imagine an incursions where PVP didn't score but mining did? The seal clubbers would lose their minds.

[viral wadi]

They aint separate. Tjr the open pvp is in the same system

[lavish ruin]

So I don't get points for losing to a ship that's way out of my PvP band? I can only build a Pilum, but I don't get points for losing to a Vorcha that can still hit me? That makes no sense.

[turbid hamlet]

Cool Scopely.. so PVP Arena is on a workday Monday.. Incursions on a workday Tuesday.. meanwhile over the weekend when there is plenty of time and you can minimize the impact of people having an advantage simply by being the first on at the start of the Incursions.. There is nothing going on Saturday & Sunday.. but sure let's do this on a busy workday.. Dumb.

[floral hound]

It's done on purpose to downplay how bad the lag gets when people actually play the game

[versed grotto]

@near saddle @full swan
So... when are we gonna admit the last 2-3 months have turned people off the game?
This incursion has proven one of your better performing servers has lost many. Not only due to the bugs, but the events that didn't work?
Many of us have stuck with this abomination of a game, only to have recently stopped spending, only for more money grabs ans less listening to the player base.
No one gives 2 💩's about fleet presets.
Also, how about having your moderators on this board start treating people with respect instead of talking down to everyone?
This is an obvious last minute money grab by scopley before they shutter this abomination they can't and refuse to fix

[proven sparrow]

yeah but that dont matter. its the leader boards that were the issue, the open pvp system just means you can finish that event really fast and then you dont need to go back there + for a G5 player it means you get high damage done

[rose ice]

Thank you for the improved/updated rewards with Incursions. Especially for PVP damage. It's appreciated

@raw adder

[mild glacier]

Incursions should have been cancelled and should be scrapped permanently. The game is virtually unplayable and has been for some time. Zero effort has been made to fix all the game freezes, screen hangs, and extreme lag. On top of that nobody wants to play when the wallet warriors are running rampant except for a handful of other wallet warriors. Fewer and fewer people come back to the game each time. Incursions is literally killing the game.

[vague patio]

when pairings for incursions have already been given and on the day itself scopely messes up the pairings, such as this time 187 v 201, once you manage to send them back and cancel their incursions, please don't restart the incursions with the paired servers especially when it's already been an hr after incursions is meant to happen. just acknowledge u made a mistake and send out comp chests that reflect that mistake. especially for yesterday when it was probably early hours of the day in most apac countries as well as most thought it wasn't happening anymore so they relod back into TC. was it the players fault? sort of, since they knew scopely can be incompetent from time to time so they should've just stayed out of tc to be safe but this is largely scopelys fault for having mismatched the servers in the first place

[delicate raven]

Now reverse that for everyone who normally works nights and weekends...
Sometimes people with 9-5, Mon-Fri jobs need to get shafted instead of shift workers.

[lilac oracle]

There's lots to do Saturdays & Sundays.. There's dancing & singing for one ...... 😉

[short pier]

Whoever decided the incursion pairings for this month needs to be taken off this job forever. So many servers against servers a year or more older than them. I think whoever created this was going for the malicious compliance approach to never be made to do it again.

[limber stream]

They would just club you for a mining node 🤭

[obsidian ore]

When it was announced that "choice rewards" would be extended through next Monday, I thought that included those using "Ferengi Exchange Token". Is there any chance of that store being brought back? Because now I have 187.2k of those left and there was a lot of nice things to spend them on that I can't now.

[mild glacier]

Kinda hard to actually play in incursions when 2/3 of the loading screens get stuck requiring a game reset.

[queen kindle]

I'd file a ticket with CS and ask them if they can manually exchange them for you. #👽-how-to-contact-support

[light trout]

Incursions scoring rears its ugly head again. S41 had a player intentionally throw the event for the server by opening his base with tons of rss and announcing it to the opposing server. This player collects the entire month or longer just to give them up to whoever the other server ends up being.

[obtuse badger]

How can a player be shielded in Territory during the Incursions event - this is on 167 👀 🤔

[marble cosmos]

https://tenor.com/view/talledega-nights-cal-john-c-reilly-magic-man-movie-quotes-gif-4913413055015860469

[tropic folio]

That’s the beauty of it 😜

[fierce belfry]

Please add more scoring targets in the all out events or change how it scores entirely. It's annoying when a rival player brings a specialty ship to the open system so they can score from you but you can't score from them.

[quaint parrot]

Incursion Event: July 2025.

I have appreciated in this Incursion run there was not "Attacker/Defender Server Concept" and every player who wants to play can choose to play as Attacker or Defender.

I have appreciated the new "Infinite Incursion: Shattered Alliance" format in which we have also canonic Incusion Events.

In my opinion this is the way to start to create a functional incursion event in which the game doesn't force a player to play as Defender even if every player must play as Attacker to score and in which the game forces a player to play to get something usefull.

[brave wigeon]

Incursions are boring, it's a wasted day where all the fun is sucked out of the game.

[junior pond]

This list of ships is long overdue to be updated. People fly around in their specialty ships like Monavens and Protectors to name a few, but they don't show up on the points list. It would be fine if they went on with lower point values like the Cerritos and others did, but give us credit for the kills we're doing here.

[mental relic]

Since y'all decided to throw up 7 day shields mid incursion I would hope yoh plan on giving all participating servers the "win" reward.

[obtuse shuttle]

<@&509690795536941056> this is bs considering there is at least 2 more hours or incursion going on. I hope they reactivate after the PVP event.

[novel mango]

Not unless
It was close, most of the times it’s a blow out.

[spare cliff]

I hope all servers are getting a comp chest with the win rewards since u guys put up a gold sheild 2.5 hours before the end of incursions.

[rose ice]

If it's possible-

Would love it if there could be a limit on how many times you can get Incursions XSLB credit for blowing up a ship from another single player from the opposing server

There's players who cheese the XSLB to finish 1st and 2nd by only defeating each others' ships.

Players who are more focused on server-wide goals can be disadvantaged.

Can make the limit high. Like 15 kills, or 25 kills. But having some kind of limit for XSLB credit from any one opposing server player seems prudent

[jolly heath]

First you claim to have rebalanced incursion scoring to promote PVP and didn't. The mere matter that 1 unit of Parsteel is 1 point means you can get billions or trillions of points in a single base raid on an offline player much easier than getting a comparable amount than hunting and venoming a single ship from an active player.

This leads to the entire incursion being about which server had their whales get caught being lazy instead of any form of active PvP and that this "incursion revamp" didn't remodel itself to function in the format of Arenas is a joke.

Then we have the peace shields going up. I get that the Pacific coastlines are at serious risk and I hope everything will be alright and you cannot control when natural disasters happen.

But peace shields on everyone effectively ends the incursion because PvP doesn't matter and there are no PvE scoring mechanisms to promote PvP through contesting.

Incursions is all about base raiding, the most boring PvP element in the game, and continues to be the highest scoring activity in incursions. Shutting that down after having it being the only option for most of the event is ending the incursion early unannounced.

A comp chest better be provided as you have denied servers the ability to continue to fight back or turn around a losing score.

[jolly heath]

And I am being as respectful as I can while being honest about this, Scopely is trying to force PvP but doing so in a manner to actively discourage PvP.

Incursion scoring was to be updated and it wasn't. Incursion events were to be updated and they weren't (New ships still not giving credit for events.) The incursion store was supposed to be updated and it wasn't. This mini arc to promote the new incursion is a joke because the incursions weren't changed.

Arena PvP is attempted to be forced by powerful PvE and Logistics sourcing being through a rep grind only able to be done through Arena. Credit where credit is due, a hybrid arena where PvP and PvE scores is compelling because it doesn't allow one side to get a lead then turtle up until the clock runs out (Incursions, cough cough) so it continues to force ships to be out engaging in PvP until the end. The problem with Arena is that it is 8 hours on a Monday and I work non-standard hours for the foreseeable future so I literally cannot engage with this content.

Borg Cube PvP events only count certain ships in certain systems. Meaning, people get to troll by bringing in non-standard ships to reduce scoring and if no one is in the system then you literally cannot do anything for the event. There is a reason I skip this one wholesale so often.

Incursions are a forced event on the entire server, but literally the least compelling of every design because the scoring system doesn't account for all ships, there is no compelling reason for people to engage in the game that would make themselves a target for PvE, and the only scoring that continues to matter is base raiding because of the efficiency of it, billions to trillions per action and can just repeat endlessly. Active PvP in incursions hasn't mattered long before I even started playing the game.

If you are wanting to promote more PvP in the game then the Arena is a good place to start for the scoring model, but time windows need to be expanded to more than one day.

[lethal mango]

Why can't I get points for losing to ops 53+ ships for the pvp sms when those are the ones coming into the ops 40-50 pvp system to kill everyone.

[grim verge]

Scoring for the 162/131 incursion isn't working on the all out war event. I'm 1.5m points down on where i should be. I should have completed it, but stuck on 2.98m.

Also reiterate above - why do we not get points for losing to higher level ships, or beating specialised ships of equal power to the ones listed? So why get points for an enterprise but not a defiant?

And can you make up your mind please. It's a Borg cube 282k or 676k for the win?

[merry orchid]

I'm ops 19 and didnt get Franklin blueprints last time and it's been a month since last offer, it's a long wait

[carmine anchor]

So what are you going to do for servers that were in incursions now that you've implemented a 7 day shield for everyone?

[rose ice]

@raw adder

[quaint parrot]

If there are players who make a deal to cheese so take note of those on your server and destroys as many ships from their alliances as you can according to an algorithm you invent while you are sleeping. For example, for each kill you might destroy two or three ships in OC because Incursion isn't an event in which you can just press random buttons like many other events.

Trust me: it's funny and help you to relieve stress.

[molten ridge]

Killin’ it every day.

[scarlet escarp]

very underwhelmed by the additions to the alliance store. this needs more newer chaos/forbidden tech, more prime shards, and newer officers

[jaunty ingot]

24 hours only on incursion store? how am I meant to trade in trophies for credits if the cooldown only allows 1/2?

[proven sparrow]

still dont understand why there is a cooldown, you won your rewards. let us spend them on what we want

[steep sapphire]

They don't want you to get the good stuff twice!

[wheat pasture]

Trade in one trophy ASAP, it's a 22-hour cooldown. You can trade in the other tomorrow before the store closes.

[jaunty ingot]

That requires you to login at a certain time to get around a pointless bottleneck

[past cipher]

Hello everyone

[hollow vector]

The automatic refreshing of the tourney rewards screen in sync with the task list has got to stop. It’s impossible to read through the new additions let alone actually redeem the correct one.

[woven kettle]

Incursion meta scored double points for incursion XSLBs despite scoring clearly saying 2x points for weekend auction. This messed with people’s placement and planning and getting knocked down. Including knocking my own reward down a bracket

[past cipher]

Star trek the next generation is the best star trek for me for you I don't no

[frozen stratus]

Ours was super close. 4.8 to 5.03 close.

[jaunty nacelle]

So here's a thought for a ship that has an extension shield to cover a base. A simple idea but a way that players can shield bases in situations like this, especially during incursions.
Before everyone starts freaking out about how this would make incursions worse and defeat the purpose... hear me out:
g4 ship, g5, g6 as ship levels up

• base extension shield capable of covering a base and itself for 5 minutes - ship must be beside the base to extend the shield (this is the first issue that must be overcome before the shield can be activated - you must get close enough and avoid being blown up)
• Cool down time of half the shield time - so if the shield lasts for 5, cool down last for 2.5
• Only one Ship can cover a base at a time - you can't overlap shields between multiple ships
• The shield can cover any base from your own server - no restriction on alliance
• if you recall, or move the shield ship, the shield drops and the cooldown starts - you can't reinitiate the shield until the cool down is finished
• Shield time extends with ship levelling, research, and Base Operations level
• Resource for activating shield is a daily drop in the support refinery, and hostile hitting - base amount provided would give 1/4 amount needed to activate - so it would take 4 days to gain enough for a shield

[chrome abyss]

Scopely have you entirely lost your minds? 6 battlepasses in 1 month?
Arc battlepass
Ferengi battlepass
Officers battlepass
Grandmaster battlepass
Wave battlepass
Territory battlepass
DONT YOU THINK that’s a bit much?😡

[wispy cove]

If this was intended to be regional alb it should be labeled that way. As is out of the whole top 100 there is only one other alliance from our actual server.

[dark horizon]

I have a Flashpoint Generic though to provide.

[wheat pasture]

I'm not disagreeing with your complaint, just offering a workaround for the time being. I agree, there should be no cooldown on the trophy exchange.

[pulsar coyote]

are they gonna do something bout flashpoint 1: chapter 3 still sitting in our missions

[gray stirrup]

<@&509690795536941056> Didn't get credit for Epic Dominion allaince tournament. Grabbed the directives, nothing happened. Put in a ticket. Anything you can do? I can't do any more at tasks. No, I won;t juts grab another one.

[light saffron]

What part of the "we want LESS grind and LESS demands on our time" feedback we have been giving for over a year now, are you LISTENING to with 4 BattlePasses at 1 time? You are driving so many players to be f2p or quit altogether with your blatant money grabbing. How many more ways and more times do we need to scream "STOP" before you will listen to us?

[twin knoll]

WOW a flashpoint event compo chest comprising of 1x 1 hour peace shield are you sure you can afford to spare that scopley?? honetly that makes me feel insulted not rewarded.

[wheat pasture]

#⭐-official-announcements message

The shield was basically just an "anchor" for the hidden "complete the mission" item.

[twin knoll]

well no mission was completed here but hey lag so I will give it an hour or so

[glacial dew]

New battlepass, 0 mats token :/

[heady glacier]

Nobody in our incursion cheesed the kills. There was no territory. I won 1st through killing every ship server 57 had out. I own dela. I’m everywhere defending. Don’t pretend the pvp players screwed over the other events. I for one earned mine. I can’t help I got so many meta points from those events. I’m just playing the game

[dawn dew]

So the Recruit a cunning commander Event is pretty much impossible for Me to do at OPS 37 there just not enough things to spend G3 to get the numbers they want for that event. They just don't really care about anyone under ops 40+

[mint basin]

Is scopley playing the "Lets see how many currencies, separate events, and battlepasses we can dump on them" game again? My events icon now needs tabs for the tabs of tabs that we already have. The chaos is ridiculous.

[vivid delta]

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> has the grandmaster battlepass not scoring correctly been raised?

[raw adder]

Scoring is based on that token so it seems correct

[vivid delta]

Thanks 🤩 the scoring description isn’t clear but appreciate the input 👍

[idle parcel]

Cooldown for the acclaim is ridiculous. We earned these rewards. Take away the cooldown period.

[quartz tiger]

Hello!! Is there anyway to know why server 094 always stay in BYE while incursions events?

[queen kindle]

Your server is the LatAm server, the only one. Unfortunately, that means you're going to miss out on many cross server events.

[quartz tiger]

But we could fight against others.
In other games i fought Asians and Americans🤷🏻

[agile badge]

I need part-time support from someone who has PC, no tech required.

[dark horizon]

claimed the chests every day (almost) since flashpoint started, reached a total of 90, should probably check those RNG values

[dawn dew]

Oh it's Horrible I got it once

[warm kestrel]

is it just me???

[molten marlin]

you need to score a point

go smack a dead station or mine and dock some iso

[warm kestrel]

I guess its mine iso then since [checks notes] the dead bases wont drop their shields till after the event

[remote badge]

Oh is that what it is? Been wondering why it was so different for years 😅

[obtuse shuttle]

Pity scopely raise a 7 day gold shield.

[solid tangle]

It would be nice to know how many we get, like with other stuff in the store.

[shadow trellis]

Think it’s the same amount as the normal version but has no cooldown

[solid tangle]

It is. But should be stated.

[heavy wagon]

Scopely has given everyone a shield for their base because they recognise the world issues,,,, will they consider extending the event store for people unable to redeem due to said event?

[half flare]

Ugh, why would the material spend SMS be running on the Alliance Tournament clock! Just missed my milestone because I didn’t catch that 😒.

[half flare]

15 - I had a ton of loot and curiosity.

[tropic sigil]

I'm... struggling. I keep missing events. There's loops I'm trying to work for new content, ops growth by grinding sigma speedups, 4 battle passes, and ahead of the curve. I think my biggest issue is related to 4 different reset times and having to wait till the last one lands to start planning the day but needing to finish all three sets before the second one the next day.

Can we sync all event and daily resets to a single time please? I'd like to see if that helps.

[idle parcel]

I have a feeling it won't help, as STFC has become a full-time job. It's not easy trying to keep up with everything. They know this but, their solution is to double down and add even more to do.

[woven kettle]

So why do some folks have a syndicate event today and others don’t? Could you release it to everyone maybe..?

[molten marlin]

Syndicate event is for those 54 and under

[shut geode]

For most G5 and G6 players pointless event each week - change it for those players in Q-Continuum hostiles

[woven kettle]

I dislike the answer 😂 But thanks for confirming

[austere bay]

No replacement for those 55+?

[molten marlin]

doesn't look like it

[sullen oracle]

As long as each battle pass has a free and a paid track.... no, no I do NOT think it is too much. you don't have to buy all the passes, and everyone has the option to get free stuff they might need (or the option to skip the events entirely). of all the things to validly complain about, multiple battlepass types doesn't even make the top 10,000. <@&509690795536941056> these new battle passes have been nice, and these two this week even sync up the tasks nicely. Thank you!

[mild glacier]

Why are rewards for these two tasks of the same value so dramatically different?

[molten marlin]

one is a "paid" task

The og paid tasks pay out more than the "newer" armada ones they added

[mild glacier]

They shouldn’t, and there’s a dramatic lack of rewards in this entire event.

[royal fog]

Anyone have any insight as to why I can't get this to score? I have the CT on the ship. I've run 3 different solo epics.

[molten marlin]

Needs to be on the only ship or biggest ship in the armada

[royal fog]

Nope, it's something else.

[molten marlin]

borg or dom, conduit on the only ship or biggest ship inthe armada

[royal fog]

I don't know how to get anymore solo than this. lol Let me restart again and see if it's just scoring lag.

Ha! Shows 1 score now but only if I use one ship, not 3, even if the CT is on the strongest. Finished it though. Thanks.

[warm kestrel]

docking iso wasn't good enough. And support didn't even try to fix it, just apologized and gave me the 20 keys. Which is fine. Appreciate you responding though, thanks!

[unreal whale]

you've introduced a new currency already? we've barely had enough time to cash in the ferengi tokens. even the choice rewards are still up. bring it back for a few more days, please

[high aurora]

Why did you guys increase the Syndicate cap to 65 and not add a new Syndicate event for those Syndicate 55+? Now we sit in Limbo with no Syndicate event at all and since we're not 54 and below there's no longer a sub event. You basically seem to have punished us with the Syndicate cap increase if we were already at the cap when the expansion launched.

[keen plank]

<@&509690795536941056> Can we please have an official communication about the Syndicate events for players at Syndicate 55+? Is it intended that we do not have the event or is it a mistake that will be rectified on the next run?

[molten marlin]

It is intended to be for 54 and lower syndicate levels

55+ does not have an event currently

That may change in the future, but not at this time

[scenic pendant]

They raised the top milestone to 15M, hard to believe this wasn't adjusted up to account for syndicate 55+ daily pulls. But alas, no event

[honest sand]

3 spend events for extra tournament points…..Could you give us a variety rather than just dump mats it would be better. Also 20 officer shards for my milestone at 33 million in a normal recruit spend sms I would get 1/2 to a full unlock.

[long cedar]

Just a quick rant about how sick we are of event changes! Why aren't there any new events anymore: ship parts, relics, faction credits... Stop deleting them and create one a week, damn it!

[honest sand]

My other critique would be on choice rewards and ticketed events that pay out mats. Add G5 epic gas and ore G5 epic crystal is in all of them and other event payouts. While I like the converter options get rid of the tokens and add a slider if I have the materials to convert let me convert what I have to what I actually need this will benefit the player base more as a whole and at some point let us trade up ⬆️ our old stuff for the mats we need instead of keeping in our inventory forever.

[mild glacier]

ALL of these need to have alliance tournament credits added to their rewards. Nobody ever does any of them because the alliance rewards are so small and there is NO personal reward. Raise it up please and make this event at least somewhat worthwhile.

[icy marsh]

So is this new loop basically 100% locked behind the new ship since we can't mine epic any other way? Should I just put up a 30 day shield and just shut off until Sept? Is that really the game scopely wants us to play? What a joke

[bold rain]

And i bet on no f2p path on day 1, because the grant nagus camping in their office

[molten marlin]

It does have a day 1 f2p

[bold rain]

where did you get that info?

[runic meadow]

He in da club😉

[bold rain]

lol, got it, well, lets see how doable the pulls are, i bet no 30ops will be able to farm a week of pulls in an hour

[queen kindle]

There's a video that states the drip info and more about the ship. #⭐-official-announcements

[magic pulsar]

I would like emergency field supplies 😟😭

[copper shadow]

yes it did show the drip rates and stuff but no info on what ops that account was only that the 1 chest pull was 799k and gives 25 epic transogen is that for an ops 30,40,50,60,70 what level cause as an ops59 i personally haven't done any transogen mining other than first day and what I was pulling with my nova tells me that one chest pull is way outta my league of patience if its meant for my ops range lol

[queen kindle]

They generally balance drips to a reasonable level of development. If your mining capabilities are lower than that for your level, then you may not be on the 100d pace until you're further along. In terms of miners, the 58s were available already for you so you're probably behind unless you've high tiered the nova.

[heady glacier]

It’s not locked behind the new ship. Just find a way to “acquire” epic transgeon

[subtle nest]

what good is it to pirate if you cant use it without the refinery unlocked

[next vortex]

You have stores for when the refinery is unlocked

[heady glacier]

Is it locked? 😉

[subtle nest]

so its still locked behind paywall, only difference is you get to look at stuff in your inventory LOL

if it isnt locked people will be tryin to sell cargo loads of it on amazon 😛

[heady glacier]

That adjustment they made to the hazzard ticks will become apparent soon. 20s before any hazard damage 🙀

[queen kindle]

I've checked a 5k hazard system, the MU ones, you won't last 20s. But it seems possible to reach a node.

[heady glacier]

The bueaty of summoning a ship is it spawns where the summoner is

[icy marsh]

but whats the point if the refinery is locked behind having the ship anyway? so you can mine like 500 epic transogen for a 1.5 mil refine cost and do...nothing with it anyway? lol

[heady glacier]

Is it though?
Gonna be fun regardless

[vast goblet]

Mining and Fun in the same sentence?

[heady glacier]

Stealing what others mined is always fun

[grizzled pelican]

These Alliance Tournaments are the most frustrating thing ever. First off, they’re supposed to be a competition against other alliances, but the only ones I’m competing against are my own alliance-mates for who can click the fastest on the very few worthwhile tasks. If it’s supposed to be a “tournament” then the outcome shouldn’t be based entirely on luck, which is what is needed to get the tasks you want/need that you can actually do. This whole “reroll” system is also such utter BS, and just another way for you to scam us out of additional money. After being so frustrated last tourney, because I couldn’t get the task I wanted as someone else kept taking it, I foolishly bought $20 worth of rerolls. After getting the same crappy tasks that require more spending to complete, over and over again for an hour, I finally got the task I was looking for, and what do you know? Right as I was trying to accept it, someone sniped me for it, after I spent my money, I wasn’t even able to get the task. That makes no sense. The thing is, this would be so easy to make the format actually fair, but it’s obviously not what they want, they want us to just spend because we get so frustrated by the garbage format they force on us. How difficult would it be to simply give everyone the same list of tasks to choose from, and give each task a cooldown, so we can’t keep doing the same one over and over?? And as others have said, there are so few that actually reward any tourney credits at all, so of course nobody is taking the ones with no reward or incentives. The entire thing feels rigged. Ever since I got suckered into spending money on rerolls, just to get the same tasks I can’t do, like 6* mats, over and over again, and then getting sniped on the task I wanted, has left me with the most foul taste in my mouth regarding these so-called “tournaments.” A tournament needs to have fairness built into the format, and not having to rely purely on luck like we do here. This tournament is awful in every aspect. Even the store starts jumping around, so while you are trying to get one item, it moves and gives you something else entirely. Last time I was trying to get some prime particles, and it jumped up, and took almost the rest of my hard earned credits on armada directives I didn’t need. Yeah, I had to get support to refund them, but by the time I got my credits back, of course the store was already gone. This tournament needs to have EVERYTHING rebuilt and the format needs to be built around FAIRNESS. While on the subject of FAIRNESS, you also need to work on fixing the events that reward some players with the same score as others who get nothing at all. That is INFURIATING! 😡🤬

[queen arrow]

Does anyone know which armada this is? I did the Borg and Dominion armadas with the TC in place and I didn't get any points.

[shadow trellis]

Was it on the only ship or biggest

[lost phoenix]

@queen arrow I think thatmay be the G6 rare solo armadas. I thought they had Temp Conduit tasks

[thorn belfry]

has to be on the top ship in the list. ie the most powerful ship

[thorn belfry]

Actually prefer the previous SLB's where it was limited to current gen rss spend but also smaller brackets..
unpopular opinion im sure

[copper shadow]

@queen kindle my nova is max teir max level but thats not the point I was trying to reference it was what cost for what ops since many people not just myself didn't go balls to the wall on this arc we don't have a surplus of transogen in our stock. Add on the hazard damage and now just to get the chest pulls we're essentially forced into the system that was at least in my opinion utter bs with not just hazard damage but miner chasers to get said rss to then exchange said rss to do x amount of bps per refine. Just feels like if you didn't fully participate in the past month of mining this stuff and paying repair costs then you're a month behind a 3 month drip for a ship that will take 6months or longer to get decent for what you need. Maybe I'm reading into it with too much negativity due to past history with said specialty ships

[rose ice]

With lower generation mats counting for weekend mats spend SLB, I figure I'll buy a pack this weekend too

Thank you, STFC

[queen arrow]

LOL, crap, another big Scopely joke. Nothing specific….

[molten marlin]

no, the g6 solos have their own task

[molten marlin]

The conduit needs to be on the biggest ship or only shop in the armada, needs to be dom or regular borg rare solo

[viscid thorn]

Are you crazy? Spending money on rerolls? Any G6 player has 500k-1M rerolls...if you cant get anyone to reroll for you it might be time for a new alliance?

[idle parcel]

The store jumping thing has me frustrated as well, as it's been still going on for months. Good points about the tournament. I pick quick ones I can do, as there are too many other events happening for me to be bogged down with the AT. That sucks though about what you went through.

[vernal breach]

Wave defense battle pass is still active 2 days but there is no event to gain points. Please either give me the event, auto complete my last events worth, or refund me my 20 bucks.

[oblique moat]

Explain why for Alliance tournament one of the highest award options Awards one point because the highest level you go is level 50 I've been working on this for 3 hours with three ships mainly because I'm working but still I've only done 170 something points out of 1600

[molten marlin]

they're meant to b e done by lower ops to punch up on

[oblique moat]

Then it needs to be replaced with something for lvl 50 and higher option. I go for highest reward and this is infuriating. When I dont hit the requirement to get 10K points the highest I can do is 5k to 3K yet I can get the same rewards for Xindi but with half the points.

[queen kindle]

Players are meant to do the tasks that are easy for them, and reroll the bad ones out of their group. As a player who only does 10k tasks, there's no need to engage with the lower level ones since they can be extremely difficult to complete as you've found. I'd ask alliance mates to reroll for you if you're running low on them and that teamwork will help everyone.

[halcyon goblet]

it would help to show those hidden groups

[queen kindle]

The 10k group are the 3 tasks at the end of the list--always worth 10k pts and the most credits. Occasionally, there are lower quality 10k tasks in the mid level group, but they don't award the same amount of credits.

[boreal coyote]

Still, a visual indicator for Re roll groups for the others would be nice.

[boreal coyote]

It’s that group 2 that always gets me 😂. I’ll try and remember 2-8K. You must admit, would be better with an indicator ( could just color the stoke on the cards, plenty of ways to do it )

[grizzled pelican]

Wow dude, of everything I wrote, that’s what you latched onto?? Did I not say in my post that I “foolishly” bought rerolls? I’m in the top alliance of my server, but you completely missed all of the various points I was making, and it had very little to do with the rerolls, but thanks for letting me know how poor your reading comprehension skills are. You might want to work on that. But with that in mind, I’ll try and keep it simple for you. 1: A tournament between alliances shouldn’t have you competing for tasks with people within your own alliance. 2: The entire format is awful, and shouldn’t even have rerolls at all, just give everyone the same list of tasks, with each task having a timeout before it can be done again. 3: The vast majority of the tasks don’t reward any Tournament credits, so of course nobody wants those tasks, creating this constant fight over the few “good tasks.” 4: If you are going to have the rerolls, the person who just spent their reroll credits should have first option to take the task, if they don’t want it, then let everyone else take it. But over all, the entire format sucks!!

[grizzled pelican]

So which group are the 10k Epic Dominion “acquire 500 epic dominion solo armada directives” and the 10k epic borg “acquire 500 epic borg solo armada directives” tasks? Because those two tasks are the two that everyone is always after, and are constantly disappearing the moment they show up.

[queen kindle]

Both are group 3. As a G6 player, they're not important to me and I call them out for f2p and other teammates to claim. I wish everyone was after them. It's often the case no one claims it for awhile and I'm waiting so I can get the tasks I want.

[grizzled pelican]

I wish that were the case for me. I’ve been waiting 4 days now to get epic dominion and can’t get it to save my life. Now I’m waiting to get either one, and an entire day and at least 40 rerolls and still can’t get either one. Worst part is I’ve been saving these pulls for a week before this, and now another 4 days during this tourney, and all for nothing. Thats 8,800 much needed store credits that I’m also losing out on, and all because I can’t get lucky enough to get the task to come up for me, or I can’t click on it before someone else does. This entire thing has just left me so frustrated and bitter, all because they can’t just make a simple and fair way to distribute the tasks. I can’t stand this format, and it’s really sucked all the enjoyment out this game this week.

[copper shadow]

imagine how much more fun tournaments would be if they got rid of the tasks that didn't give away credits and replaced them with the ones that did first off less rerolls would be needed. Higher scores could be obtained there'd be more interaction as everyone could see participation actually gets you stuff. In my alliance alone almost half each time tournaments run either barely participate or you can tell by the scores that they don't even get like 5k credit before the ranking prize then you hear them saying how little they could get don't you want us to engage. This store comes once a month and even if you do all 10k tasks still takes a good while before you can unlock fts or officers and such think about getting rid and replacing tasks that don't give credits with tasks that do you'll see more engagement it's just common sense even in business.

[silk hill]

If you let a single task of a possible 15 on a mobile game ruin your entire week, perhaps your priorities in life are slightly misconstrued

[arctic herald]

Currently have 7 incomplete specialty ships, Don't hold your breath waiting to purchase number 8.

[jolly hound]

What is the difference between the regular Alliance Tournament and this other GrandTriWizard Tournament? Anybody from Scopely able to articulate the difference?

[jolly hound]

I wish Scopely would just come out and say that they hate the PooRs. Two different 10k tasks, one for the PooRs that doesn't give them what they need to have better access to primes... The primes that the whales don't need... Since they already bought it. But hey... It's technically available. Just have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and work hard and you'll still have to do 12x the effort to get the scraps the whales don't need.

[rancid blaze]

There are rewards in the store that do not have limits nor cooldowns. Previous GM AT did not have relegations, but that's different this time round.

[jolly hound]

Last time they SAID it wouldn't have relegations, but it did. (We got relegated, because there's a greater number of slots for relegation, and we're in the Master League with half the number of players of almost all the other alliances 😂)

[restive lotus]

I literally missed the 2nd tier of the spend event by seconds cuz it ended at 11am instead of noon EST. wtf everything is staggered again.

[worn galleon]

still rotating the same 6 10k tasks. anyone understand the mechanism on why some disappear for hours or day and some never leave

[stone quarry]

Beware of dud Tasks. Just spent 2 of each Rare Solo Armadas with Temporal Conduit on a ship and nothing. <@&509691205798592532> <@&509690795536941056>

[molten marlin]

conduit needs to be on the biggest ship in the armada, or only ship in the armada

[boreal coyote]

if we had a nickel for every time you had to say that. feels like it should be an easy fix on scopes part. less frustration = happier players 🤷‍♂️

[stable bronze]

i swear there is a person setting up things so people are wasting time.. i used all my rerolls on alliance tourny task (and a few others in alliance did too), so i start killing swarms for daily and event.. and then what shows up a 5k swarm task after im done with event.. after i take the 5k swarm task and a 5k rom kills show up... this isnt first time this has happened

[hardy torrent]

LOL we can time some events by when one of my teammates spends something 😆

[grizzled pelican]

Maybe you need to dial back the judgmental attitude, and work on your reading comprehension skills. What I said was it took the enjoyment out of this game, so not sure how you translated that into ruined my entire week, or how you think you have even the slightest idea of what my priorities in life are. But since it seems you’d rather not read things before offering your unsolicited and insulting opinions, let me first remind you that this channel is called “event feedback” so if you think people’s feedback here gives you some insight into anything else, you’re sadly mistaken. That said, since your priorities seem to be trying to act like you know anything about anything, your life priorities seem to be the misconstrued ones. Now please scram.

[dreamy solstice]

how often are going to need to complain about the 70%/30% augment surveys, in true reality 70% wins all the time not 30%, it should not win all the time, we dread having to hit these things hoping for the elusive win, totally scamming and outrageous, and whatever predictive wording this thing is using needs to be removed

[stone glade]

Did I see that correctly? The Grandmaster Shop expansions are simply gone at the end of the actual tournament? Great. Was that mentioned anywhere?

[rapid eagle]

Was just gonna post about that, had the alliance tourney store up when tourney ended and all the grandmaster purchase options in store showed locked/greyed out, after refresh they were gone. now we just have the same old alliance tourney options that we had before. You can't have a countdown timer telling you when the store is gonna close and take away the purchase options that were there before it closes.

[indigo oracle]

My alliance finished at rank11 but we are downgraded? Wth

[chilly nimbus]

I can't get the grandmaster stuff because is gone, great job Scopely

[maiden condor]

To add to your frustration:

• Our alliance had 90% performance, we have ZERO whales. We were for 5th place against an alliance where 30% participated only, but they were whales. They bought their promotion. We had no chance. It's utter bull the whole "tournament", if the competition depends on who pays more money.
• The competition should be between alliances on the same server, and who you get into a bracket with is also a matter of your luck. If you're lucky to get with whales, you're screwed like we were. If you're lucky to get with sleepers, you get promoted. Is that a real tournament?

The mechanics of this shows complete lack of understanding of gamification theory and fairness, just as you said. Unfortunately, we still try to push hard (with no money invested, thankfully) so that we can get the rewards.

[languid ice]

It’s not that others are “buying” a promotion. It’s that the tournament is designed to be easier for g6 players to score. 30k per day isn’t a challenge for anyone 61+ that has properly prepared.

[errant chasm]

Where did the grandmaster stuff go in the store?

[severe edge]

Please check and fix 👆 🙏

[inner nova]

You don't even need to be G6 to do 30K a day. But one thing that was different this time is that there were daily heroic material spend events that also scored tournament points! Personally, I didn't have the mats to spend, but others were able to add significantly to their daily scores doing that.

Gransmaster rewards have returned. In a different order, but same same.

[granite tide]

Alliance tournament relegation is only supposed to bump you down 1 level, right?

[vagrant vale]

Alliance Tournaments have gone stale now. Tasks are based on old content, i.e. Spend ex borg credits tough to complete once that loop is complete, whilst hitting swarms / borg probes / sentries tough for G6 players. Build in some newer content - transogen hostiles / polygon armadas / krenim / new augment hostiles

[shadow trellis]

Tough for G5 too

[pliant yacht]

I'd love to see an increase in variety and type of task. Don't even need to get rid of these, but certainly should reflect more of the latest content.

[wintry orbit]

they need more G4 stuff, most of the higher stuff I don't even know what it is much less can do it. Stupid ones like collect or spend large amounts of xborg credits or something else can anyone do those? Borg probes, swarm, uncommon armadas , borg sphere solos, were all I could do. I did manage to get a hirogen event for Voyager Friday but could not get a common Jemhadar solo defiant only got rare and epics which I don't have.

[serene void]

Here's an idea instead of regulating by power. Why don't you regulate off of how much somebody spends for the arena?... That way those that don't dump in a grand or two a month might actually be able to win once or twice 😜

[scenic sage]

The rewards from faction hunt continue to be anemic - can we atleast remove the negative rep penalty?

[viral wadi]

So basically free to play has their own and the pay to win have theirs. I'm on board with that. Thats honestly how all events should be too. Then the wallet class can beat eachother over the head with money and we can go see who gave up their mortgage the most and laugh.

[civic pasture]

the game exist to get people to spend money. if you spent a lot of money and could not stomp on the free players and were always match with other spenders making you lose more often you would quit. F2P exist to feed and be stomped on by spenders.

[primal cypress]

Why is Arenas still on Monday nights?
In about 4 weeks the participation rate will see yet another massive decline.

Move it to Tuesdays! (seriously though, why not Tuesdays? we don't do anything on Tuesday nights and it is, in fact, football season)

[viral wadi]

Immm i want cake

[smoky sparrow]

Stop doing these stupid patches/server maintenance during Latnium rush. It is the most. Competitive one of the week and you guys keep ruining it.

[queen arrow]

Yes, that's right, confirmed by Scopely...🤬 how do you know that ?

[shadow trellis]

Because it’s been a thing for awhile on that task

[obtuse urchin]

And because that is one of the moderators . They generally have some useful knowledge 😉

[icy marsh]

So since I don't have the ship to mine epic transogen, is there any point to me even logging in this Month?

[eternal garnet]

Probably not

[unreal coral]

Was it intended that the 2 L62 systems had their transogenic hazard rates increased from 200% to 400%? Interestingly, higher than the rate of 200% for the L64 system. It's made mining common grade transogenic much worse and condensed a lot of G6 players into the L56 system for that resource meaning G5 players are screwed as mining population has been massively increased

I see the known issues have picked this up

[maiden condor]

Since my legitimate question was deleted with accusations of "ageism" :D, let me rephrase that 😄

Scopely, would you be so kind as to explain who do you actually hire to develop these new events? Here was the content that triggered you, clearly I hit the point, concerning the age and generation of your employees :P.

I'm asking this legitimately as someone who is an IT professional, working for a high tech startup in cybersecurity, where we also have monthly releases of new features and improvements. And the number of bugs that you release every month is mind-boggling, and so is your attitude towards fixing existing bugs.

Our products also has bugs sometimes, yes. But these are deep bugs that are not easily discoverable, only in very specific circumstances, often discovered by one customer only.

Your number of bugs and the type of bugs that you have clearly show a complete lack of quality assurance processes. For example, see screenshot. How can a QA review not notice the name is completely different than the character name everywhere else (including after clicking the tile) and how can such a bug, which is super easy to correct, be just left out there as a monument to the quality of your software?

You're probably going to reply that this is by design just like your support replied to me about the permanent bug where the ship level does not update unless you recall (while the XP below the ship level on the Manage screen does update in real time).

If I was the manager with Scopely, a lot of heads would roll, so this also says it all about top management. Or, could you please share a secret, perhaps the goal of the company is to get the game bankrupt? Or maybe the owner of the company simply wants their money being used?

Please, enlighten us, how is it possible that such an unbelievable, unexplainable number of bugs appear with every new release, something unseen and unheard of in professional IT.

I'm just glad you guys don't manage nuclear power plants.

[high harbor]

Scopely put a weeklong shield on NA servers last week. Due to end tomorrow am. Now, after today's maintenance, there's a shield ending this afternoon. If the other shield doesn't restore after, a lot of players will think they're shielded for a day but won't be. If the old shield are going to hold, in the meantime, everyone sees shields active for only a few hours when they're good for another day. This was a mistake, one way or another. Fix the shields. Restore what you gave out a week ago ASAP.

[copper shadow]

it was given out 5 days and 23.5hrs ago according to the in-game blog about it not that I expect anyone to read over at scopley after all wouldn't get as many bugs every content update if that was the case roflmao

[quartz arrow]

I hope the 400% hazard for the 62 trans systems is a mistake, since the 64 and 66 stayed the same

[vital drift]

It’s not. It’s a push to make the new miner a requirement for the Trashpoint loop. What are we on now, double down, no triple down on a ridiculous loop, which no one cares about, and 100% negative feedback on?

[steel mango]

House spotted

[stoic linden]

This assumes they actually want to make a "good product" - if they cared as much as you do about security then they would consider it. But lets' be honest, it's existence is only to make money therefore the "good product" is only as good as it's making money.

[late orchid]

Genius scopley... let's randomly up the hazard dmg to 400% in 2 existing 62 systems... but then lets just leave the 64 system hazard dmg at 200%...

[idle parcel]

Thanks for taking care of all the bugs that make me need to reboot. Oh wait, those are still there. I love still getting the black, preparing screen. 🙄

[frank osprey]

Events since WoK pt1 have been designed by 19 year olds that:
1-spent the last 5 years+ learning to code from playing Roblox.
2-took an online course to certify that coding knowledge.
3-got hired because of the certification.
4-thought they were getting to make stuff for PokémonGo.
5-don't not have STFC installed on any personal device (phone, pc, etc..).
6-DO NOT PLAY STFC OR CARE TO.

[vernal breach]

We ask for ship loop efficiency forever and you give it to us, but you make us pay cash for it as the only way you can sell this new ship. I'm literally at a loss for words.

[quick pebble]

Agreed lol..I work as an SDE too. And the amount of bugs I see in this game, we dont even have that many in our staging env on which QA validates.

[hollow flare]

Aww if you take the bundle away there's no point mugging the people stupid enough to buy the new ship

Heaven forbid you upset the whales, oh well I'll still kill them even if I can't use the epic ore

Or did you realise alliances could just get one person to mine it who then lets others kill them meaning no one else needs the ship

[inner nova]

RE last announcement: Epic transogen can only be mined by the serene squall, but can it not be looted from miners by anyone?

[trail bramble]

105,000,000 6* mined for daily goals now?

[molten marlin]

visual bug, the amount you need is the same as before

[rough scarab]

Ur ship wont survive long enough in there but you can wait by a station for them to return 😂

[queen kindle]

You can steal it, but with the removal of the refinery, you won't be able to use it.

[valid knoll]

They dont want non spenders getting ahead

[raw bramble]

Not to worry yall. They took 1 day off the f2p path to unlock the ship with the new missions today

[spare temple]

1 whole day. I feel SO empowered.

[sullen oracle]

In all seriousness folks... personally insulting developers is NOT they way to work with ANY gaming company to get things fixed. All it does is make them not want ton interact with the community anymore. Learn to give constructive
and NOT resort to personal attacks, or just stop posting.

[copper shadow]

if they actually cared about the feedback thats been given over the past 6-7 years and acted on it we wouldn't be at the state we are with personal attacks or iq insults just sayin...

[ripe forge]

Insults aren't helpful, but we can't really pretend that they are doing a good job

[coral bane]

There was no or hardly interaction with the community in the first place

[sullen oracle]

thats an issue with the VP and higher folks, not the devs. Even if the issue was with the devs, there is NEVER a reason to post personal attacks. The Devs are simply doing/focusing on what the folks that sign their paychecks tell them to do. Many of them are actively trying to fix back end issues, but a 7 year old mobile game is going to have more spaghetti code then an Olive garden on unending pasta night. fixing things is going to take years. Again, be constructive, or simply don't post. "everything sucks, you all are aweful" is meaningless feedback. Like last arc. the New artifacts were great, the Mak'ala event was well done, the free tracks on the new battlepasses were appreciated, but yet everyone attacked the devs. Just saying "everything sucks" lumps the good stuff in with the bad. If we (as a COmmunity) start giving thoughtful, constructive feedback that might help drive things in a direction that is beneficial to all.

[hollow flare]

If we just make some minor changes to that famous EA Reddit comment....

[molten ridge]

LAZY LAZY LAZY events board. Lazy. Mining and spend money to get and upgrade the ship. and then cycle the same events over and over all month. This month is worse than last month. Mining isn't fun. this whole month cycles around a $100 ship - to mine.

[golden jewel]

Money money money. Give us money. Mine transogen but if you buy special ship that you can't get for free yet, you'll stomp others.

[ashen notch]

Lackluster new content, and basically no events. Winning combination for sure.

[bright tide]

they screw up alliance tournaments we get promoted and relagated a lot from the master league we are too strong for expert but not strong enough for master so we yoyo and everytime we get promoted the store changes on the day but not this time, we get promoted then get a message saying we got relegated and they ignore it

[frank osprey]

The game has been a dumpster fire inside an active volcano for the last 3 months. I am saying the people designing the events since WoK pt1 do not play because I cannot believe people that play would be making these kind absolutely poor decisions. Kill 600+ augment exiles in 2 days and then kill 4x that in 5 days(then run both these events, unchanged, in pt 2). Kill a Champion of Khan by the end of the arc but oops...our bad, we locked the mission to spawn it behind a rep level you cannot possibly obtain by the end of the arc. Introduce a new ship specifically designed to kill exiles in pt 2 because it wouldn't have been useful in pt 1 right? P1ATA that last 4 days(doesn't sound very priority like to me), using a unique token to start, rewards a unique resource that's both a store currency and research resource, had 2 traits no officer in the game had until that arc and had to be unlocked and had a key stat that no officer that had to 2 other trait to crit has. Run an event for P1ATA that only completing or critting a P1ATA would count towards. Then after pt 2 ended, start a week long event with a meta that included doing P1ATAs every other day that were the same as the ones in the arcs so needing to complete 4-6 4-day(16-24 days total) P1ATAs in 1 day and you HAD to do at least 2 of these events to complete the meta.

Then there's the transogen Flashpass in which Scopely screwed EVERY PLAYER IN THE GAME because they can't figure out how to score the stages making them obtainable. Even after tweaking the stages for a second go, they still managed to screw every player again. No player got through stage 4(best sever I saw only got like 46% through I think) and 1/2 the servers still didn't get out of stage 3 again. Oh and let's not forget them jamming in a 2nd quasi battlepass (Ferengi) on top of the another active one to try to distract from the dumpster fires.

So yes, calling out this junk directly is warranted.

[shut geode]

😡 🤬 when you make event that is made for the new ship: give all players the new ship or lower the point 😡 🤬

[thin void]

So, what are we supposed to do this arc if we can't complete the events? Just asking for my entire alliance and server...

[valid knoll]

Take a vacation

[thin void]

lol more folks will just quit instead

[cunning chasm]

Is this joke? Selkie is 120 times faster and this is already with upgraded mining laser and 10000% mining bonus from research. Even Envoy mine faster

[frank osprey]

Anyone remember when they brought out a new ship in an arc and you unlocked 1/2 from battle pass rewards and the other 1/2 from missions or the store?

[valid knoll]

That's why you dont buy the new gimmick of the month ship

[copper shadow]

nope too much has happened since then I don't remember exactly when that happened I know it happened just not how long ago. I know my bank account gets richer and richer over past 3 years because of how they keep adding content and devalue it less than 3 months later or create a problem and sell the solution next month and I thank them for that tbh lol.

[fluid gust]

it's fresh out of drydock, it will need a lot of time to catch up.

and selkies have insane mining rates, even outmining some maxed specialty miners.

[chilly sequoia]

Which proves scopely dont understand their own game

[cunning chasm]

it can mine 250k epic per hour but only 3k uncommon, and selkie aoutperform it until T8 research which is far far far away

[fluid gust]

they understand that it takes $1000 at least to make it relevant for G6 today.

[chilly sequoia]

Or some mug will pay $1000 to make it relevant

[cunning chasm]

You dont even need to be G6, at T1 any miner outperforms it except Epic and without research even realta mine 2x faster It does not need to be faster than selkie from start, but comeon, it should be at least faster than normal miner on it ops level

[subtle jasper]

It has been designed for epic and epic alone, anything else is just a bonus.

[viscid thorn]

First time in a while im not going to buy a ship. Not because i think its Bad, but because the only thing i would want are the epic artifacts...but with 1 shard a day? Will take 500 days to max the artifacts...500 or 580days makes really no differnce. Nothing interesting for higher OPS player if you are not slacking on your artifacts

[marble parrot]

Sorry but you fell for it. Gimmicki ship of the month.

Garanteed an "update" coming soon to rectify transogen minin rates

[copper shadow]

oh be sure they have that "prime" slotted for next month content because after all make a problem sell the solution next month scopley 101 coding for today's gaming

[full swan]

I'm looking into this.

[idle parcel]

Going a step further from lag to a total freeze up is a nice touch, Scopely. I love restarting the game several times an hour.

[hidden finch]

If, y’all don’t like what Scopely producing. Simple, don’t support it. At, the end of the day Scopely needs our money to keep the game running. I choose what I want to do in the game. Not, what Scopely wants me to do.

[dark horizon]

how cheap can you get when giving away color pixels ? dropping the SLB limit to only the top 25 ?

[pseudo compass]

Usually I buy the arc battle pass, but this arc part 2 makes it hard. There is really very little of value there that I don't get from the game anyway. Can't you put something there thst is worth my hsrd earned money?

And without a battle pass, I'm even less inclined to engage with anything else in this arc. Better to do older loops, that still drive progress.

Nothing learned from last arc pt1 then... Less engagement seems to be the strategy

[subtle nest]

but but but the mining xp prime stuff is at end of the elite 😛

[fervent panther]

[sullen oracle]

many many years. just tired of personal attacks. 0 reason for them.

[heady glacier]

It’s not rocket science why the selkie is faster. This info was available before purchase. Just saying

[frank osprey]

Betting on fewer players being the reason the LBs are shorter. Hard to hide if they go out to 100 or 200 and then show 98 players placed.

[steep prism]

<@&509690795536941056>

Seems to me that this entire stage of this arc is paywalled. Any ship not the new ship is instantly killed upon entry to the new systems. Very little events that are not new ship related.

I have always respected that this game needs to make money however this is WAY too far. They need to balance this stage of the arc back out. 2 bps a day- no one will f2p this content for many months. This is leaving dozens of systems out of reach along with a whole material type.

[open beacon]

this is a fun event. all my ships mining transogen, slowly dying. only another 10 to 12 hours should do it.

[safe flicker]

<@&509690795536941056>
It is no fun to have to set out three miners and a two ships to autogrind hostiles to get enough currency for a single chest pull on each of the new refineries. Having to repair 4/5 ships every hour because they were destroyed by hazards is not fun.

[lime cove]

It's getting harder and harder to remain constructive in relaying feedback and not just drop F bombs. That's the level of frustration you've introduced.

[opaque hawk]

@full swan can we please stop with the forced autogrinding. if yall are gonna keep adding loops, at least let us somewhat control how fast we do them instead of having to wait for chasers to hit us.

[languid ice]

Y’all ever gonna make this go away? It’s from a month ago.

[modern spade]

<@&509690795536941056> cmon guys. A little attention to detail?
And please… don’t launch these events incorrectly as regional alliance milestone like last time, then just rename the event to match the match the mistake. Or the Transogen Forge SLB that launched as an ALB the time before, also then hurriedly renamed to match the mistake…
Sloppy and unnecessary.
Also… one single recruit event weekend for the new officer??

[open beacon]

13.5 hours in the end. how joyfull

[heavy trout]

So let me get this straight, if I buy the new ship I lose the free one?

[unique flint]

If you are planning on bying it, do remember that it only mines Epic transogen faster. It does not mine common, uc or rare transogen faster than your other miners even with research. You will have to tier it up considerably for it to be an effective miner for the three materials that we've already had.

[shadow trellis]

I’ve bought it but don’t have the option to refine for a free one

[ocean crypt]

yuor 1750% shield buff from tournament store is a joke, does absolutely nothing for ship shields, getting exactly the same amount of kills as previously without it, and still adding daily researches to help improve the ship, so a farce that does does absolutely nothing for ship shields

[unique flint]

Not sure about what shield buff you are talking about but, buffs that increase you shields simply give you a larger shield to take hits with. As long as you have shields after a battle even if it is just 1% it works just as well as having 99% after a battle. Shield mitigation on the other hand technically increases the "effectiveness" of your shields meaning that your shields will take more damage per hit instead of your hull.

[ocean crypt]

emeral chain lv 27, scopely needs to stop giving weak buffs that are only a % of the base of a ship when it was first built , and instead add actual realtime % to what the ship is at, would then be worth some value

[unique flint]

Yea, thats just shield health. Your shields propably dont go to 0% during your normal daily stuff. So it makes no difference to have that. When you do higher Krenim solos or other activities where you can punch up it start to matter having a larger shield buffer that doesnt get depleted and keeps mitigating damage from your hull.

[cloud hazel]

I wonder if it only benefits lower level players who haven't achieve that boost yet. Luring them in to ops'ing up. IDK

[fickle cliff]

What's yhe use of this LOCATE button if it only locates my base , and not the node to mine?

[pseudo compass]

That is how it works when you have not discovered the new system, so it cannot show it to you... or if you did, it is just another bug

[simple shard]

it showed the base even when the area was discovered earlier

[strong anchor]

Positive feedback: The table of the arc’s BP events including points each day is helpful. Props to Candle (and whoever else) for putting that together and sharing
